Ronglu was a veteran in the officialdom. He had participated in the Xinyou coup that year. Although he was only a small role in it, he had seen big storms.
Seeing Guizi Liu's question, he was shocked in his heart but calm as usual on the surface. He picked up the teapot in Tang Pozi, poured a cup of tea for Emperor Guangxu and said with a smile, "There is really a good autumn breeze, what an unexpected harvest... "
"Slave, I brought the cameraman to take pictures. I originally wanted to give them a slap in the face. Who made the Chinese people so rich? But it turned out that Shimazu had no money. He only took 20 notes when he went out to fight. Isn't this embarrassing? "
"Slaves, I won't tolerate their bad habits. Our army has such a huge gap in military expenditures when fighting wars. If we don't look to these bastards to make up for it, who else will we look to?"
"Even the Duobao brothers were able to collect twenty pieces of paper. Am I running errands in vain? Are my brothers drinking the northwest wind? I wanted to rebel at that time. Anyway, they secretly recruited more civilians. Now they have at least one Fifteen to six hundred people..."
"I made it clear to him directly that he should either get out or send back the extra people he recruited. Don't think that we are easy to bully..."
"This man named Shimazu's face changed drastically. He really didn't expect us to be so tough. He turned pale with fright... After being stubborn for a long time, he asked me to talk alone..."
Guiziliu originally closed his eyes and rested his mind, but he didn't expect that Ronglu would really describe the story vividly!
Now he opened his eyes and stared at him, "Oh? So, he really has something good for you?"
"Haha, what did your Majesty say? In fact, it was not a benefit to me. It was a slave who found a big benefit for Your Majesty and us guys!"
"You don't know, the price of antiques and treasures in the Chinese area is two or three times that of our capital!"
Ronglu started chatting about the mutton-fat white jade snuff bottle, and continued to talk about Xiao Letian's zoo and botanical garden, and even introduced Luo Huo's personal sculpture museum.
It's about foaming at the mouth, foam stars flying all over the sky, and the Eight Banners disciples using all their good words.
"Long live the Lord... Shimazu-san said that as long as he successfully completes the task of collecting the bones, he will help us connect the dots later, and they will take away the seizures in our hands at a high price..."
"The money sold can be deposited in the UK or the United States, or in Chinese banks... With this extra money, a large part of our military expenditure problem can be solved!"
"Besides, it is more convenient to deposit this money in a foreign bank and buy and sell arms from foreigners later than to give us cash!"
"If we have a large deposit limit, it is said that the banks outside will give us some unreasonable treatment... These big noses know how to make money. In order to keep us as a big customer, he has the obligation to match us!"
"Maybe you can easily get a lot of good weapons that you can't buy..."
Guiziliu was also tempted at this moment. Of course he knew that in wars, one would make a fortune by seizing spoils of war, but he really didn't know that there was such a big price difference between the Chinese and the Qing!
But if you are tempted, you should be suppressed. "Haha, do you dare to believe this kind of nonsense? This man named Shimazu is not a high-ranking officer. He can make the decision?"
Ronglu had already thought of the answer. "Long live Lord Shengming, you can see the key point at a glance... I have a stupid idea. Let's try it first. Doesn't he have to be buried for seven days?"
"I have sent my men to look for it in the north. He said that there is an archway that is very valuable. Let's demolish it for him... and let him buy it. The museum of Luo Huo is just over in Tanggu, and it can be transported away by train..."
"Try him first to see how deep it is. Anyway, we won't suffer any loss. Long live the Lord Shengming, what do you think? If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way..."
Guiziliu was speechless this time, "Well... it doesn't matter if you give it a try. If you do well, you can keep half of it as military expenses. You can't run errands in vain..."
How could Ronglu dare to negotiate the price with the emperor, "What are you talking about, Lord Long Live? This world belongs to Lord Long Live. No matter how much is sold, it will be paid to the public accounts. How much Lord Long Live will divide among the slaves in the future is all due to the king's favor. The slaves are not Dare to fight for Young Master!"
"Go on down...go on down..." Yi Xin felt very happy to be praised, and waved his hand to Ronglu to go down and do his errands.
Ronglu kowtowed and left the big tent. When he walked out, he realized that his back was already wet when the night wind blew, and he shivered with cold sweat.
He had really gone through hell just now. He had already faintly felt Guiziliu's murderous aura. Fortunately, he had resolved it well, otherwise something would have really happened.
"Damn it, it's hard to survive in the cracks and dance on the tip of a knife. It's so difficult to seek wealth..."
After Ronglu left, a figure suddenly appeared in the tent. It was Cheng Beile, the son of Guiziliu. Behind Cheng Beile, there were four tough guards, with pistols and daggers in their waists!
The Chinese army tent where Guiziliu lived was actually left by his fifth brother, Prince Dun, Yipei. It was a military tent covering an area of more than 100 square meters. It was divided into several areas, just like the presidential suite. Same.
Zaicheng had been hiding inside before. Once his father gave the order, these gunmen would rush out and control Ronglu. After all, Ronglu was an outsider and had not followed him from the beginning. His loyalty still needed to be tested!
"Father... do you believe this boy's words? If it weren't for your sharp eyesight, I'm afraid he wouldn't have revealed such a way of making money. He would definitely pocket it..."
Guiziliu waved his hand and asked the ambushing gunmen to go out. The two men were the only ones left in the tent. "Son! You have to be careful about this Ronglu. This kid is very tricky..."
"He doesn't dare to have any evil intentions in front of me, but in the future when I am gone, it will be difficult for you to control this person... Look at just now, he easily laid a handful of maggots on Na Duobao, and he made two innuendoes. The matter of ten gold bars!”
"There is one last one. The slave should not be divided. The emperor should reward him! Who is this alluding to? He is insinuating all the generals who have been secretly intercepted and captured..."
"If I hadn't been immersed in the court all my life and knew the rules of the game, I might have been aroused by him and become dissatisfied with other generals!"
"This guy is a talent, but he's not easy to drive..."
Zai Cheng pondered for a long time and found out this was true. "Damn it! So this guy is so bad? Then I'll kill him when I turn around..."
"Hmph! Damn...you don't understand anything! In fact, this kind of ministers are the best in the world. They have a price, they have greed, and we can control it if they are greedy!"
"If people stop being greedy, they will become like Xiao Letian. Who can control it? Then it will be a disaster!"
"Back then, Xiao Letian showed a greedy and lustful face. He took all the twelve golden hairpins given to him by the court, and he really confused us. I regret it! I regret it..."
"Kid, remember, subordinates who have no desires and desires but are capable...can't use it! That's too scary!"
