Li Yunzhong couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, choosing the lesser of two evils, "Oh, it's difficult! You should prepare to move the cemetery. Foreigners are not something you can offend. Only when China is strong will they not dare to mess around. Now we

We can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden."

Liu Xiucai shook his head, "No matter what, the ancestral graves cannot be touched. I don't believe that the government is unreasonable! I want to file a complaint!"

Wang Qinglu understood Liu Xiucai's persistence very well and stepped forward to persuade him: "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. It is a good place for cave burials. However, the lakes are silted up all year round, hard rocks can be seen everywhere, and ants are swarming on the ground. Your Yushan Town is the nearest

These past few decades must have been unfavorable, with wealthy families having many orphans and widows, and poor families selling their sons and daughters. If things go on like this, Yushan Town will inevitably become sparsely populated and gradually become an inaccessible place."

Zhou Papi excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Qinglu's shoulders, showing a sad expression: "Master, you are right! Our family has only three generations. Unfortunately, I am already fifty and married to a nine-bedroom concubine, and I have no children. That Liu Laohu is even worse than me.

After giving birth to seven children, only one survives and coughs all day long, you must save us!"

"What! Is there really something wrong with the ancestral grave?"

"I asked why the harvest in the fields is getting smaller every year. It turns out that it's the ancestors' fault!"

"I, Liu Laohu, have a great fortune, but I only have one son who suffers from lung disease. I pity my six children who died young! Oh..."

…

Liu Laohu and others also knelt down and begged. In the past, they thought that their misfortunes were arranged by God. But today they found out that there was something wrong with their ancestral graves. They were shocked and crying!

Wang Qinglu helped Liu Laohu and others up and comforted: "Everyone, get up. I only know a little bit about this aspect, but I know Taoist Master Qi Xuan. He is very proficient in this aspect. I will write a letter to ask him to come here."

, I will re-select a geomantic treasure land for everyone. In this way, Yushan Town will be prosperous and prosperous in the future! Everyone, please go back, these foreigners are very cruel."

Seeing Wang Qinglu's sincere words, Liu Xiucai thanked him with clasped fists, and then left with the grateful people.

Li Yunzhong looked at Wang Qinglu in surprise. He didn't expect that he had this skill. He used Feng Shui methods to solve the problem of the railway passing through the ancestral graves. He was so talented! It seems that the IQ of scholars in this era should not be underestimated!

William watched the people around him kneel down and beg, and then move out of the way, thinking that they were admitting their mistakes and asking for his forgiveness! He immediately became arrogant, with his head turned up, revealing his ugly nose hairs, "For God's sake

On the face of it, I will forgive you, but you must compensate my friends for the treatment costs! And this cemetery must be leveled!"

Although Zuo Zongtang and others could not understand what he was saying, seeing his arrogant attitude, they knew it was not a good word. They all became angry and complained to Li Yunzhong that these foreigners were reckless and troublesome.

Li Yunzhong said to William: "You go back. The King of Han already knows what happened today and he will compensate you. William, I believe you must be the fastest person to build the railway."

William said happily: "Yes, you are right, I want to build the railway from Nanjing to Suzhou! I want to make a lot of money! Man, just follow me. If something like this happens again in the future, you will do it for me."

Solve it and I will give you a lot of money!"

Li Yunzhong smiled and declined, "I have more important things to do. I advise you not to make the decision without permission if you encounter this kind of thing in the future. Listen more to the opinions of the Chinese people. You know, Europeans and China

There are still many differences in people’s thoughts.”

On the way back to Suzhou, Wang Qinglu sighed: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to lie to them like this? Foreigners are really bastards! They run rampant in the land of China and have no scruples."

Zuo Zongtang comforted him and said: "Zichuan, there is no need to be angry. Although the foreigners have strong national power, strong ships and powerful artillery, they do not know how to restrain themselves. China has many talents! As long as I, a big man, drive out the Tartars, restore China, and unite as one, we will be able to drive out the foreigners."

, when the people can live and work in peace and contentment, wouldn’t it be wonderful!”

Zhao Liewen also advised: "Yes! Brother Zichuan, now is the critical time for Your Highness to compete in the Central Plains. Talents from Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu provinces are constantly coming to join you. If you don't do this! The foreigners will definitely force Your Highness to do so."

Forcibly moving the grave will inevitably cause casualties, and it will also give His Highness the reputation of being afraid of foreigners!"

Since Li Yunzhong came to the late Qing Dynasty, he witnessed with his own eyes the miserable life of the people at the bottom. Not only did the officials take bribes and bend the law, but they also failed to act! Foreigners bullied compatriots and dumped opium drugs wantonly... The rebellious mentality gradually changed: from amassing money for pleasure to enriching the country and strengthening the people, saving the people in

In the fire and water, seeing Zhao Liewen and others worrying about the country and the people, he sighed: "A weak country without diplomacy will be beaten if it falls behind! This is an eternal truth. If you want not to be bullied by foreigners, you can only govern the country better than foreigners."

Being strong will make them fear us from the bottom of their hearts. My ambition is to put China on top of the world."

Midile proudly pointed at the boxes of weapons and looked at Li Yunzhong, "Your Highness, I want to borrow more of the one hundred thousand taels of silver you lent me. I bought dozens of boxes of weapons from Europe, including cannons, howitzers, and Karens."

Swack rifles, Brown Bess rifles...enough for you to equip a division! Also, here is the weapons list, please take a look."

Li Yunzhong excitedly opened the boxes. They were all neatly arranged rifles. What surprised him most was that most of them were Kronswick rifles! He said in surprise: "Midele, how did you get these Krenswick rifles?"

Swack rifle! If I guessed correctly, these are all used by the British Army!" Li Yunzhong looked happy after receiving the list of weapons from Midile.

4,000 Cronswick rifles

1000 Brown Bess rifles

1,000 barrels of black powder

A total of 80 cannons of various types

A total of 80 howitzers of various types

2 gun repair machines

Military uniform production line

There are 0 boxes of bullets in total, 100 bullets per box

…………

Midile was thinking about how to brag about his abilities after meeting Li Yunzhong. For example: I have a relative who is the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, and these weapons are trivial to him; I married a noble lady.

, these are less than one thousandth of her family's inventory; I ran for parliament and was elected. I will sell you as many weapons as you want... These thoughts disappeared in his mind in an instant.

And Fei said truthfully: "Oh! God! Your Highness, your luck is so good. I just returned to London when the army guys were undergoing a major re-equipment. They were all re-equipped with a rifle called Mini.

! It’s so crazy, it can hit targets 500 meters away. I spent a lot of money to bring you 30 of them, which is more than the price of 300 Brown Bess! I suggest you purchase a large number of rifles, Army

A converted Cronswick rifle! Is the War Secretary considering how to sell it?"

Li Yunzhong put down the list and said in surprise: "It's true! There are a lot of Cronswick rifles for sale in the UK! Buy them all for me! I'll give you a 10% commission! No! It can't be like this!"

Midile had just heard that he had a 10% commission and was overjoyed. Hearing Li Yunzhong's repentance, he immediately became anxious, "Your Highness, you can't make fun of me like this. It's not funny at all. There are more than 500,000 Cronswicks in the UK."

Rifle! 10% commission is worth two million taels of silver!"

Li Yunzhong saw that he was incoherent and explained: "Mr. Midile, you have misunderstood me. You should know that Wenhan will not let me have so many rifles. He will definitely suggest that all the remaining guns in the country be shipped to the Far East.

Use these guns to maintain the balance of the situation in China! That would be the worst news to me! I would rather they sell not a single gun to both sides.”

Midile nodded understandingly, "I have been that guy's translator, and with his character, he will definitely do this. Damn bastard! Your Highness, what should we do to buy enough guns smoothly?"

Li Yunzhong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't think of any good way." Seeing Midile's disappointed look, he added: "I have a stupid way. You have to rush back to the UK as soon as possible before the guys from the War Department have arrived."

Be aware of precautions, buy guns as soon as possible and stock up, I will give you enough gold and silver, I don't know if it is England, France, or Prussia."

Midile asked: "Do you want to go to Russia?"

Li Yunzhong recalled that 2 or 3 years later, Russia was beaten to pieces by Britain and France in the Crimean War. He shook his head and said: "Forget it about Russia."
