【515】 National Founding Ceremony(1/2)

It has to be said that since ancient times, in China, people who have made many scheming and speculating on people's hearts must be officials. Liu Kun thought about it himself, but he misunderstood Long Hao's meaning.

However, this misunderstanding is beneficial to Long Hao. Even if Long Hao knows it, he will not say it out loud.

Yes, Long Hao found out in advance that Liu Kunyi was a royalist sect and did not deal with Li Hongzhang very much, so he found him as the entry point for Chinese strategy, rested for a few days, and blew the wind of his arrival in China to the little emperor of Guangxu.

The little emperor naturally couldn't help but send someone to negotiate with him.

Because of the news, the incident of Long Hao declaring war on the United States was only spread within China after more than a month of war and the war was about to end.

However, even so, the news was limited to Li Hongzhang and some important officials in the capital. Liu Kunyi, as the governor of Liangjiang, was pitifully unknown at all.

Otherwise, as soon as Long Hao appeared, he might have to worship the other party as an invincible god of war, and he would not dare to disobey him at all.

“The results are good now!”

Long Hao narrowed his eyes and thought, then patted Liu Kunyi on the shoulder.

He is much taller than Liu Kun, and this shot is a bit bullying.

"Mr. Liu, what are you thinking about my suggestion?"

At this time, the two were walking in a Suyuan Garden. The birds and flowers were singing everywhere, and strange rocks were piled up. Walking through the courtyard was like walking through a fairyland, and stepping on the path was like walking on the clouds, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Ah, the proposal is good! Your Majesty, I was too careful last time. Now that the Qing Dynasty is in danger, it is the top priority to strengthen the navy and must be taken seriously!"

Liu Kun was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted. He didn't care about Long Hao's frivolous action of slapping himself, and whispered loudly with his neck: "The navy is a country's important weapon, and it must not be controlled by someone. The one in the north

, Hehe... The Nanyang Navy became stronger. It was even more reasonable! Alas, as the governor, I am ashamed. I didn’t expect that the military expenditure of the expansion of the Navy would be paid by you!”

Even if Liu Kun was not well-informed, he knew that Long Hao was a big overseas financial host. Not to mention anything else, just the unprecedented golden longevity that was dedicated to Cixi was enough to make anyone who was dissatisfied.

The longevity peach made of pure gold is just a subordinate who offers his financial resources. This is not the case with Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, Fujian merchants, Guangdong merchants, Jiangsu merchants, Gan merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Shandong merchants...

Want to compare!

"Haha, Lord Liu, you misunderstood. What I said is not an expansion of the Nanyang Navy!"

"Well?"

Change? Liu Kunyi was stunned again, a little dumbfounded: "No, it's not the expansion navy, then, what do you mean?"

"I mean, I will recommend the most famous railway company abroad to help adults build railways in two rivers and three provinces to facilitate transportation. How about it?"

"Build a railway?! Never!"

Liu Kun's expression changed and he blurted out.

Liu Kunyi is very interesting. He is an enlightened faction who supports the Westernization Movement. However, he is strongly opposed to the construction of the railway. Some people say that he believes that the laying of the railway will affect the porters and canal boat gangs. If the railway is spread all over the two rivers.

, If these people lose their jobs, wouldn’t they make a fuss?

"Haha, Lord Liu's reaction was very fierce!"

Long Hao naturally checked Liu Kunyi's background. He was expected to react to him and was not surprised.

"Oh, I am in a position of failure, but you are laughing at me!"

After coming back to his senses, Liu Kun gritted his teeth and said, "But I can't agree to the construction of the railway! In the past, the British and French wanted to build it many times, but they were blocked by me! This precedent cannot be opened!"

"No room for negotiation?"

"……No!"

"Hey, then I have to go back to the issue of the Nanyang Navy."

Long Hao was not upset with Liu Kunyi's insistence, but said: "Mr. Liu, I said I wanted to fund the expansion of the Nanyang Navy. In this way, it would be beneficial to your emperor! But afterwards, I analyzed that the Nanyang Navy would be

If you become strong, the UK may be very uneasy!”

British ships controlled the Yangtze River Basin, and the Nanyang Navy's activities also included this area. If the navy became stronger all of a sudden, the sensitive British would inevitably protest.

"Ah, yes, yes, it's such a pity." Liu Kun felt regretful.

"So, I thought of building a railway and using the convenience of railway transportation to combat the river transportation under the British... Mr. Liu, think that at that time, the railway and the navy are two pieces that can be abandoned and are also bargaining chips for negotiation.

By negotiating with the British, we will be more confident!" Long Hao smiled very intriguedly.

"Oh, there is still this meaning?"

Liu Kun, who was a little frustrated, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said: Yes, no matter whether the railway was built or the Nanyang Navy was successfully expanded, the British would definitely not allow it. At that time, at the negotiating table, he would give up the railway he built.

, Then, in exchange, the British had no reason to prevent themselves from expanding the navy!

At worst, let me tell them, the Yangtze River is yours, and my new warship will only operate on the offshore.

Seeing that Liu Kunyi's beard was raised, Long Hao nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that this hook finally hung Liu Kunyi, the first-grade big fish...

Long Hao lived a very comfortable life in the coming days.

Accompanied by Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, Long Hao spent half a month traveling around, eating, drinking and having fun.

In fact, no wonder Long Hao is not doing his job properly, because the environment of the earth that destroyed the world in his previous life was too poor. Moreover, after he was reincarnated, he landed directly on a broken and rotten slave ship. Then, everyone knew about it, Long Hao

Continuously running around Alaska, the Greater Western United States, the Baja and the seabed...

After three years, he has no time to return to his motherland and take a good look at the beautiful mountains and beautiful scenery of our country!

Suzhou Gardens, West Lake Long Dike, Climbing Flower and Fruit Mountain, Visiting Taihu Lake... In the past half month, Long Hao has really played all the scenic spots and historical sites that he can visit, and ate all the special foods he can eat. In addition,

With the escort of the Governor of Liangjiang, these attractions are not charged for tickets and are free to visit. This makes Long Hao feel more and more lingering and happy.

It’s better not to develop the technology line!

Long Hao sighed in his spare time: Look at the picturesque scenery of the mountains and rivers, and the refreshing air that refreshes the spleen and lungs. If the era of industrial age comes, these will gradually disappear, and if three battles break out according to the historical trajectory. These magical craftsmen are like

The wonders built by the magical hands of gods will sink to the bottom of the sea and will no longer exist!

Long Hao was traveling with the United States, but his forces did not stop and were nervously weaving the network after entering China... Take Long Bo as an example. After he returned to his motherland, he picked up his original connections, very

It took a lot of effort to contact a group of strange people who had unique skills and formed gangs.

It’s no wonder. Thinking about Gao Tianyang’s Xiaodao Sect, Long Ganruo’s Tianji Sect, and Bujiadi’s Swallow Sect, you should know that before the Long family outside the pass had an accident, Long Bo had a great connection with these sects in the martial arts world.

At this time, it was just a return to the old job.

Although I haven't contacted me for a long time, I can't help but have a killer move - that is, a lot of money that blinds people's eyes!

Speaking of which, although these sects of the world are mysterious and have strict rules, they are still mortals, and they need to eat, drink and support their families. So when Long Bo scattered silver notes without capital, the sects of the world in the Liangjiang River Basin immediately

Be subdued by him and used for his use.

Long Hao had heard Long Bo report twice while traveling. Judging from Long Bo's red face, he really liked this person in contact with the world and inquired about grassroots intelligence, which made Long Hao feel a little guilty: It seems that he

It turned out that no one knew the right person to be good at responsibilities! He buried a good Green Forest King!

So, Long Hao corrected his mistakes and followed the situation and appointed Long Bo as the head of the intelligence of the Alchemy Kingdom in China, and established the "Money-absorbing Association" to specifically support him to recruit these righteous men from the world to use them to drive them.

Long Bo is like a fish in water. Naturally, he is extremely happy, and Liu Kunyi is also happy.

It is said that during Long Hao's visit, Liu Kunyi, the governor, initially accompanied him everywhere and walked with him, showing off his elegance, explaining famous places, and arranging food and accommodation, and summoning famous prostitutes... In short, Long Hao was served properly, compared

I should be filial to you if you are dear.

However, in the next few days, Liu Kunyi did not appear. It was not that Long Hao was tired of driving him away, but that an overseas fund entered his jurisdiction and needed him to deal with it.

Yes, this is the fund from Beihai Bank.

Most of the people in Beihai Bank were composed of blond and blue-eyed white men. They were dressed and dressed in clothes and were arrogant. They landed in great honor from Shanghai, picked up a concession, bought a building, and gave the Beihai Bank branch in China to

Get started.

It took less than four days, which was very fast!

The first business of this branch was to exchange five million US dollars into snow-washed silver, and then notify Liu Kunyi and ask him to send someone to pick it up.

Oh my god, this, this is the military expenditure that Long Hao promised to give the Nanyang Navy expansion!

Five million US dollars, with the current market, you can almost exchange it for eight million taels of silver!

This astronomical figure is almost the military expenditure of the Beiyang Navy for the same period. This good news that fell from the sky immediately knocked Liu Kunyi unconscious. He was overjoyed and did not dare to neglect him. He brought his personal guards and rushed to Shanghai.

I vow to take the money back to my territory safely.

When Long Hao finished his travels around the mountains and rivers, Liu Kunyi barely placed the huge sum of money. He saw Long Hao ignore it and was very impressed: Oh my God, so much silver, His Majesty Hao is just here

He gave it to me with confidence, tsk, although there is a bank loan slip, he is not afraid of me spending it indiscriminately? Or maybe, others don’t take this money seriously at all?

After admiring Liu Kun, he realized that he would still talk to Long Hao, whether it was out of politeness or something. In short, he had a lot of words to talk to Long Hao.

For example, the cost of these money, such as the purchase of warships, such as the handling of up and down...

Take the purchase of warships as an example. After all, although Liu Kunyi is a first-class governor and commands two rivers and three provinces, he has almost no way abroad. If he wants to buy warships, he is simply holding money to find foreigners to chop them up!

Spend money to do bad things.

Besides, Liu Kunyi has many factories, such as shipyards and iron smelting plants... The equipment of these factories seems to have not been updated for a long time, so he thought about discussing with Long Hao and seeing these eight million taels.

Can some of the sponsorship funds be allocated first to improve these industrial basic industries?

However, things were a little beyond Liu Kunyi's expectations, and he could not find Long Hao!

Not only did he not find it, even if he mobilized the entire government office to find it later, he could not find any shadow of Long Hao again.
