Facts have once again proved that there are no secrets in Sijiu City, even if it is a heavy rainstorm, even if it is a snowstorm, even if it is a sandstorm... No matter what the weather is, as long as there is new news, it will be spread everywhere in Sijiu City immediately.
Li Tuo left the Forbidden City in the evening. There was actually nothing important to do during the day's shift. There was a half-day meeting at the Yangxin Hall. In the afternoon, the court officials went their separate ways to wipe the emperor's butt, and everyone's hearts were filled with confusion. Being occupied by this matter, no one paid attention to other government affairs at all.
Li Tuo had a flood report from the Sichuan governor, as well as bandit suppression details from the Guizhou general. There were bloody conflicts between the border residents in Guangxi and the Annan border residents. In the Horqin grassland in the north, last year's snowstorm was severe and he asked the court to allocate some relief funds...
In such a big empire, there is no time when trouble does not happen. Generally, these documents are classified in the hands of Li Tuo and others, and then sent to the military minister on duty according to priority, and then the military minister writes a concise postscript for the emperor to classify. read.
The Forbidden City received a mountain of documents every day, and it was impossible for the emperor to read every one of them. This required the military and aircraft ministers to classify them in advance and write down some suggestions for handling them.
Li Tuo and others classified the government affairs for the military and aircraft ministers in advance, otherwise the massive memorials might not be enough even for ten military and aircraft ministers.
But today, from morning to night, not a single military minister came. Li Tuo and others stared at the increasingly high memorials speechlessly. They didn't know how to deal with these government affairs.
Forget it, if no one cares about it, then no one cares about it. Anyway, this empire does not belong to petty officials like them. The high officials of the court and the Queen Mother and the Emperor no longer deal with the affairs of the government. They don't care.
When Li Tuo got off duty, it was when the sky was getting dark and the dust had subsided. When he walked out of the Wufeng Tower, walked out of Chang'an Street and came into contact with the smoke and smoke of the market, he realized that the entire Forty-Nine City had already been in a commotion.
"Good luck to you, Fourth Master! You've heard about it before... that's our Long Live Lord!" The Eight Banners men who met each other said "Long Live Lord" when they met, and when they extended their hands, it was "Big Thumbs Up", and the pride on their faces flew to the sky.
"That's right, that's right! After all these years, our Qing Dynasty has finally found a holy king! If he dares to take the initiative to fire cannons to blow up Rakshasa ghosts, the emperor will definitely be able to rival the saint ancestors and emperor Gaozu in the future!"
"Let's go! Want to have a drink?"
"How can two taels be enough? At least two kilograms..."
Of course, Li Tuo knew that the banner men were loose-mouthed, but after listening to people's comments on the street, he realized that these dudes' mouths were looser than the pants of Bada Hutong. In such a dusty and windy weather, they actually The news spread throughout Beijing in half a day.
All the details were restored one by one. The confidential telegram held by Lao Jiang has now been completely disclosed. Where is the mouth of the Minjiang River? Where is Changle County? What happened to Yanshan and Gujiaoshan?
There was also the emperor's new army, how the four battalions of the imperial army were established, and who were the members of it. All these details were made public by the disciples of the Eight Banners.
The more Li Tuo listened, the more frightened he became. Ma Ming, Duncheng, Bomin, Guan Lu... What were the Manchu surnames of these four great guards? What connections did they have in the imperial court? Who were their martial arts masters? All these information were revealed by idle men. Found out.
There are also dudes such as Doluo, Na Sanbao, Ma Qun, and even celebrities in Sijiu City. All the things that happened to them when they were young have been dug up.
"Hey...I don't know about that boy Doro! He lets his brother bully him even when he is young, and he rides on the ground and beats him! If I hadn't intervened to break up the fight, he would have been beaten to death by his brother..."
"That three treasures? You know, you know, isn't it the one who prostitutes prostitutes without paying them? Hehe hehe... you don't know, this kid owes all the debts to the prostitutes who were poor back then..."
"There are horses! They just know how to brag and eat sesame pancakes. In the end, they even ate the sesame residue on the table with their saliva!"
This is really a big deal. The officers of the Yulin New Army are all the famous dandies in Sijiu City before. They are all losers who cannot inherit the family business and have no business in production. All the things like eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling have been dug up.
Li Tuo shook his head when he heard this. Do foreigners still use spies? Just send someone to sit in a teahouse for a day, and all the details of the entire court will be known. This is amazing...
Just as he shook his head and sighed, someone suddenly called his name in his ear, "Li Tuo! Li Tuo...here, look here!"
When he turned around, he saw no one, but when he looked up again, it turned out that it was the second floor of a restaurant, and the heads of Lao Jiang and Yang Zhi were revealed. They were waiting for him.
Lifting her legs and going upstairs, there were only three of them in the private room. Yang Zhi poured her a glass of wine, "I know you have to pass here when you are on your next shift, so I didn't leave you a message. I'm waiting here... Is there any new news?" ?”
Li Tuo raised his head and took a drink and sighed, "New news? Take a look at what the people on the street are saying. Do you still need me to convey any news? I have to get some new news from them..."
The three of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads. After drinking for three rounds, Yang Zhi lowered his voice and said, "Brothers! Let me tell you this, I think we are going to get rich! Do you dare to play a big one?"
"Get rich? How to get rich? Tell me carefully..."
Yang Zhi sneered and said, "I smell something different in this battle at the mouth of the Minjiang River. I know Xiao Letian very well. The more this person risks his life, it means that he is fully confident in his heart. Don't look at him." He loves taking risks, but he is actually a very vigilant person at heart..."
"I can't guess what strategy Xiao Letian used, but my intuition told me that the Rakshasa ghost has entered Xiao Letian's trap and dared to bet both himself and the emperor. This shows that he has Completely confident!”
"It's a bad dish! The Rakshasa ghost will definitely suffer a big loss this time. Then what will follow is the imperial court's layout in Jiangnan. So many southern tickets have hit the market. What if there is news about Xiao Letian's victory? When word spreads to the south of the Yangtze River, if Nanpiao's credit is restored, the imperial court will suffer a loss, right?"
"There are two ways before us now. One is to tell the imperial court to use this news in exchange for some credit, and the other is to use this opportunity to make a fortune..."
Yang Zhi smiled and said, "I came to you two just to discuss this matter. What do you think we should choose?"
Lao Jiang and Li Tuo looked at each other. They couldn't suppress the ecstasy in their hearts. "Do we still need to discuss this? Of course we are getting rich! Who cares whether you live or die in the Qing Dynasty! Having money in your pocket is more important than anything else. Even if the Qing Dynasty It will perish tomorrow, and it will cost money to buy stuttering food!”
Li Tuo grabbed Yang Zhi's wrist and said, "Don't be confused! Don't think about credit. In the Qing Dynasty, you can't be too prominent. If you always stand out, you will be hated. You are so capable, aren't you?" Does it appear that others are incompetent?"
"So the way to make a fortune in silence and to use your years to get senior qualifications is the right way, and the rest are all fake! Let's talk carefully, we should do it..."
Note: Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
