Young Master Meng had been stunned for a long time, Prince Gong Yixin, Zuo Zongtang, Xu Tong, Li Hongzao, now there is only one Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. Otherwise, the main ministers of the Qing Dynasty will all be here!

Even Weng Tonghe could only sit on the table below, and sat at the same table with these famous figures, tsk, you are very proud. Please read the book WｗΩＷΩ. ∫ＱingＫanＳhu． cC

Although Zuo Zongtang had great military achievements, he was dressed as a literati and didn't speak loudly. "I just heard that Lord Li accepted his closed disciples, so I came to disturb him. Lord Li wouldn't be surprised, right?"

Li Hongzao held Zuo Zongtang's hand and smiled and said, "Ji Gao, don't give these false gifts, please sit down quickly."

When Zuo Zongtang saw Yi Xin, the expression on his face did not change at all. He just gave in a simple hand, "Your prince has arrived, too?"

This made the young master secretly praise Zuo Zongtang's demeanor and Li Hongzhang were different. Li Hongzhang always gave people a sense of wisdom. He always felt that everything would be seen through in front of Li Hongzhang. No matter what move you use, Li Hongzhang can accumulate strength, then control people and eliminate you in seconds.

Zuo Zongtang gives people a kind and capable feeling, as if you can hit him, you will definitely be able to hit him, but it is difficult to hurt his muscles and bones. But if he hits you, you will be beaten flat, making people feel awe involuntarily.

In short, the aura of these senior officials made Young Master Meng very intoxicated. Who among the senior officials who can reach the peak of a country is not really talented and knowledgeable?

Of course, when it comes to Han ministers, there are still many stupid and unlucky Man ministers who occupy a high position and are confused. Please read Ω∫ｗ∫ＷＷＷ． ＱingＫanＳhu． cC

Prince Gong smiled coldly: "Ji Gao is rare. This is the first time I have seen Ji Gao outside the court. It seems that Lord Li's wine is better."

Zuo Zongtang is far inferior to Li Hongzhang's. His prestige in the court is not smaller than Li Hongzhang at all, but his connections are very poor, which is related to Zuo Zongtang's personality.

You can see that Zuo Zongtang doesn't answer Yi Xin's words.

Prince Gong Yixin is also a person with great cultivation skills, but being neglected in person is very rare for Yixin! That is, Zuo Zongtang, that is, Li Hongzao's mansion, otherwise, he would have to leave.

When the young master saw that the table of people didn't say anything, the atmosphere was very awkward, and hurriedly bowed to Zuo Zongtang, "I've seen Master Zuo!"

Young Master Meng not only relieved the atmosphere of the cold, but also got different eyes from the guests on the table. Not only did he behave calmly, but he also knew how to look at the timing. It was really rare. Even Xu Tong smiled, "Mr. Li, I really envied you. You, a closed disciple, must be a talented person."

Zuo Zongtang laughed and touched the cute young master's head: "I don't have anything to give you. There is a red jade pendant here, which is obtained from the battle to return to the tribe. I'll give it to you, the child!"

Everyone is a person who knows the goods. Seeing that the jade pendant is red all over, you will know that it is either an ordinary product or an equally important gold, and it is definitely not as expensive as this piece of red jade!

No one expected that Zuo Zongtang would give him away when he said he would give him away. They all secretly lamented that Zuo Zongtang was a heroic person. Please read the book Wｗ∫ＷｫＷＫＷＫ． ∮ＱingＫanＳhu． cC

Li Hongzao hurriedly said, "This is too expensive! You can't get it!"

Young Master Meng was very angry, I gave it to me, but I thought that without Li Hongzao, why did Zuo Zongtang give such expensive things to a child he had met? Looking at the jade pendant, I secretly liked it, and I was secretly envious. Even Young Master Meng had a net worth of millions of taels of silver, and had never seen such a treasure. I secretly sighed that someone like Zuo Zongtang was indeed extraordinary!

Zuo Zongtang smiled and said, "This is for the child, please don't stop him! It's not for the Lord Li?"

Seeing Zuo Zongtang's firm attitude, Li Hongzao also knew that Zuo Zongtang had a big temper at any time, so he had to smile and stop talking. This was in front of everyone, not a private gift, and it was indeed not contrary to etiquette. He smiled and nodded to Yuemeng.

The young master was overjoyed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Zuo, for your kindness!"

Zuo Zongtang smiled and hung the red jade on Yuemeng's neck. It was originally tied to Zuo Zongtang's waist. "This jade was originally suitable for children to carry. It is said that it must be warmed from a young age and will be humane in the future. Moreover, if this jade is sold, it will be worth at most 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver. If it can be sold for 6 million taels, I will be reluctant to let it go when I help the court soldiers in the northwest and fight against Agubo's invasion of our Qing Dynasty."

When Li Hongzao heard this, he knew that the topic was coming, but he didn't expect Zuo Zongtang to say it in public.

Prince Gong Yixin smiled slightly and did not answer.

Xu Tong continued: "No matter how difficult the court is, no matter how difficult it is, it must not ignore it! I agree with Lord Zuo's proposal to use troops in the northwest."

Li Hongzao nodded and said, "No, no matter how much land the country is, it should not be humiliated! I should agree with Lord Zuo."

As Li Hongzao said, everyone present nodded, and most of them agreed to use troops to fight against insults!

Zuo Zongtang was even more happy when he heard Li Hongzao expressing his approval so clearly, "Okay, Lord Li said it well. I feel relieved if Lord Li has this attitude."

Prince Gong Yixin smiled and said, "I also agree with the use of military force in the northwest. The key is, what about the silver? Everyone here should know how much silver there is now? It is less than 700,000 taels, and there is only a little silver, and there is also a disaster relief. Moreover, the emperor's wedding has been delayed for a long time. The Queen Mother's birthday is gone, don't all these need silver?"

Zuo Zongtang snorted, "The matter is divided into seriousness and the country is incomplete. What else is more urgent than this? Could it be that the family is having a fire while having to do a wedding?"

Young Master Meng, Zuo Zongtang is really brave enough to speak. Judging from your old man's gentle appearance, he speaks very well.

Prince Gong Yixin was not angry, and still had a faint smile on his face, "No, Lord Zuo, didn't I say it just now? What about silver? I also agree with the imperial court's military use in the northwest. The urgent task at present is still the Westernization mission! It should be placed on shipping. While selecting school children to go abroad to learn the advanced technology of foreigners, buying foreign ships and establishing a steamship merchandise company! Let the circulation of goods from the north and south of the Qing Dynasty smoothly. The Qing Dynasty was tortured by bandits and bandits for so many years, and it was time to recover its vitality."

Zuo Zongtang said anxiously: "It is natural to restore vitality, but outsiders have already run to your kang to sleep. Can you still sleep? How can you recover your vitality? If you don't drive away the foreign enemies, how can you continue to carry out the Westernization Affairs?"

Prince Gong Yixin smiled and said, "Mr. Zuo doesn't understand the matter of doing Westernization. Master Zuo has not done much Westernization in Jiangnan. The Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was the one who took the lead in handling it. How about it? The ships built have been costly for years, and the cost of the ships built is far higher than that of the Western countries."

Young Master Meng was sweating, Zuo Zongtang and Yixin, who were both Westernization faction, seemed to be inconsistent. In Young Master Meng, Yixin and Li Hongzhang's relationship seemed to be very good! However, it seems that Li Hongzhang has a good relationship with anyone, which is also Li Hongzhang's extraordinary features. At least, if Li Hongzhang changes with Zuo Zongtang now, he will never quarrel with the powerful Prince Gong in public.

Young Master Meng also felt that Yixin was talking too much. He was running an industry himself. Of course, he understood the difficulties of Zuo Zongtang in running the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau. Without the support of the energy industry and metallurgy industry, he would start a machine bureau directly. It would be the same for any company to go up! Materials and equipment are completely dependent on imports, so how could this fraud be not high?

Moreover, his cute young master still knows a little science knowledge, and he must be much better than those from Zuo Zongtang, who came from the imperial examination. He could even imagine that if someone like Zuo Zongtang wants to run an industry, he must have completely trusted foreigners. He would just entrust a foreigner to just entrust a foreigner, and the money would not flow out!

Young Master Meng knew that the manager of Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was the Frenchman Riyige. Young Master Meng probably lost money in the years since he opened the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau. Maybe he made more money than he earned in the Klinsmann Foreign Company Development Zone during this period!

Zuo Zongtang was exposed in person by Prince Gong Yixin, so how could he keep his face? He snorted: "Your Majesty, you can't say that. Who doesn't know that you bought a boat in your hand? I spent millions of taels to buy a bunch of old boats back! You said you wanted to run a steamship Merchants Agency, which has been said for seven or eight years? Why haven't you done it now?"
