0217 Can bend and stretch
Prince Gong Yixin was very polite when she said others, but when she was told by others, she couldn't hold on to her anger. She held a teacup and put it down heavily, and hummed heavily.

Prince Gong was about to speak, but he didn't know that his subordinates were waiting for such an opportunity.
A big boss like Prince Gong naturally doesn’t have to go out and quarrel with others by himself. Zhilin was happy with the opportunity and rushed over from the table next to him and said, “Mr. Zuo’s words are wrong. What the prince said is not that the Westernization is wrong, but that he must insist on the Westernization! The urgent matter at present should still focus on the Westernization and coastal defense. The prince meant that when the national strength was slightly restored, he would consider using troops in the northwest. This is the right way. Otherwise, even if Master Zuo wanted to use money, the court would not be able to provide money?"
When Yi Xin heard Zhilin say this, she calmed down a little, and secretly regretted that she shouldn't have quarreled with someone like Zuo Zongtang just now and she reduced her identity.
In fact, there are not many people in the court who look down on Zuo Zongtang, but Li Hongzhang is often impeached. However, impeachment is not necessarily a bad thing. The big thing attracts the wind. It is precisely because Li Hongzhang is often impeached that Li Hongzhang's status as an operator in Cixi's heart!
Zhilin qualified as Prince Gong's helper and was secretly proud.
Zuo Zongtang is not alone! A man behind Zuo Zongtang who had never spoken suddenly said, "I'm in the morning, Hu Xueyan, I want to ask Lord Zhilin for advice. You said that Lord Zuo has no money to use military service. So, does Prince Gong have no money to do Western affairs?"
Young Master Meng was sweating, it was really lively today? Everyone has? Hu Xueyan has come out?
The cute young master knew Hu Xueyan, one was Hu Xueyan and the other was Sheng Xuanhuai, who were the two leaders in the business world in the late Qing Dynasty!
Even in later generations, they are role models for businessmen. Please read the book WwΩWΩ. ΩQingKanShu. cC
Collusion between officials and businessmen is about these ancestors!
Moreover, isn’t the cute young master taking this path himself now?
Business can never be the business of ordinary people!
It will always be an affiliated official, and only power can easily turn it into money!
Zhilin was speechless for a moment and coughed, and then he recovered. "We can do the Westernization Affairs Office and work with foreigners. Moreover, if we do the Westernization Affairs Office, the Qing Dynasty will become richer and richer. At that time, we can naturally spend money to conquer the northwest to make full use of the cost!"
Hu Xueyan laughed, "Mr. Zhilin said, isn't this the old saying? Don't start with no money. The key is to prioritize it! We are asking foreigners to borrow money from foreigners, so why can't we borrow money from foreigners when we use military forces in the northwest? Or isn't the northwest a land of the Qing Dynasty?"
Young Master Meng secretly admires Zuo Zongtang and Hu Xueyan's views. Indeed, as an iron-blooded nationalist, Young Master Meng can't stand the invasion of the country. Even the foreign concessions, Young Master Meng wished to burn them all!
A banquet of apprenticeship quickly turned into a debate. Young Master Meng never said a word from beginning to end. He didn't want to offend either party. Even if he was an iron-blooded nationalist, Young Master Meng knew that people here were like farting. If you make a decision, you should have Empress Dowager Cixi?
However, the cute young master did not speak. He quietly found Hu Xueyan's tiredness and pulled Hu Xueyan's neck of clothes: "Mr. Hu, I also do a small business. I admire Mr. Hu very much and admire Lord Zuo's great feelings for the country and the people. I donate 100,000 taels to Lord Zuo, and ask Mr. Hu to collect it on his behalf!"
As the young master said, he quietly gave Hu Xueyan a silver note worth 100,000 taels!
Of course, Hu Xueyan also knew that Young Master Meng was so famous, but he was still shocked by Young Master Meng’s actions. Only then did he know why a one-year-old child could rise so quickly!? He was not as good as a child in this way!
Of course, Hu Xueyan knew why Young Master Meng didn’t give the silver bill to Zuo Zongtang directly, because he was afraid that people would know his tendency and didn’t want to offend Prince Gong. Please read the book Ww∫W∮.

Hu Xueyan smiled and nodded, looking like a senior tone, "Yuemeng, don't be humble. I, Hu Xueyan, couldn't even speak well when Yuemeng was so old! I accepted it on behalf of Lord Zuo and kept it secret for Yuemeng."
The cute young master was overjoyed and secretly praised Hu Xueyan for being smart, and he immediately understood his intentions!
Of course, Hu Xueyan is qualified to show off his role as a cute young master and be a senior. He is originally a senior! Hu Xueyan’s grandsons are much older than Meng Jun! Hu Xueyan is a few years older than Xuan Zonglu!
Hu Xueyan assisted Zuo Zongtang in suppressing the Nian and rebelled, raised military funds for him, purchased new Western firearms, and transported pre-military medicines, so he received Zuo Zongtang's recommendation after "conquering the merits". Due to Hu Xueyan's "special merits", the court gave a special award, wearing a yellow jacket and wearing corals, and suddenly became a "red-topped businessman". As a result, the official assisted the business, and Hu Xueyan's exhibition reached its peak.
In fact, no matter what period the Qing Dynasty was in, even in the late Qing Dynasty, it would be unreasonable to say that there was no money. Young Master Meng roughly estimated that Sheng Xuanhuai and Hu Xueyan were at least worth tens of millions of taels of official silver, and Hu Xueyan might have exceeded 30 million taels! Young Master Meng estimated that Hu Xueyan had more than 40 million taels, and Young Master Meng was estimated based on Hu Xueyan's money house number and turnover!
It's just six million taels, so you don't have to shout that it's earth-shaking!?
Young Master Meng thought Hu Xueyan could raise money alone, but the money from these countries could not be paid by individuals, and Young Master Meng could understand it.
There was no shortage of money in the late Qing Dynasty, especially at the top leaders!
No matter which dynasty, even in the late stage, the senior officials are actually not short of money!
Young Master Meng believes that the tragedy of the late Qing Dynasty was by no means the national economy could not bear the burden of war, but was mainly caused by the shallow knowledge of the ruling class!
A big name, no matter how you play, you won’t lose to the Japanese?
However, Young Master Meng also knew that he would never be able to be the ruler of the Qing court. His only way was to rebel, overthrow the Qing court, and replace the Qing court, so that the nation could truly rise!
Young Master Meng also wanted to give money to Prince Gong, but Xuan Zonglu told him that people with such status cannot be given money directly, not just if you want to give money to Prince Gong, Cixi. If they don’t want it, it will not only be a shameful thing, but will also have a negative effect!
Because, either friends or enemies, isn’t it a way to seek death as an enemy of these people?
Young Master Meng found a gap and came to Zhilin's side, "Master Zhilin."
Zhilin was very curious and did not expect that Young Master Meng came back to talk to him? "What? Young Master Meng?"
According to Zhilin's idea, Young Master Meng has now become Li Hongzao's disciple and Zeng Guofan's son-in-law, which is equivalent to being invincible in the world! Who can move him if he doesn't commit a serious crime of treason?
The cute young master smiled, "In the past, there was a little misunderstanding between us. I want to ask Lord Zhilin to let me go. Look, I am just a child, right?"
Zhilin looked at the young master in surprise. He never expected that the young master had come to repair it with him. He had kidnapped him! The two of them still have a dispute over interests! The dispute over interests is the most difficult knot to resolve!
Your special mother just made tens of thousands of taels of silver on me. Now is this?
Although Mr. Meng did not make Zhilin's money, he just stole Zhilin's business, Mr. Zhilin counted his losses on Mr. Meng's head.
Zhilin was particularly angry that he felt that the money Mr. Meng had earned recently should have been his. This is how people are. He would not consider the factors of Mr. Meng’s own abilities. Anyway, he felt that he was the strongest. Without Mr. Meng’s selves, all business should be his.
Zhilin: "What do you want to do? Young Master Meng, you can't be so, you want to put a trap for me, right? I'm not a Japanese or a Frenchman, I don't have a few million taels to put a trap for you."
Young Master Meng smiled and said, "Everyone is friends, there are so many businesses, and the world is so big! Besides, I also agree with Prince Gong who is engaged in Western Affairs. We are one of them."
Zhilin uttered in his heart, when did I have the same end with you? However, if we count from Li Hongzhang, it would be unreasonable to say that Young Master Meng and Li Hongzhang had the same end with each other.
Zhilin smiled and said, "What should I do if the business in Tianjin?" (To be continued.)
