At this time, Li Hongzhang was at the peak of his power. Prince Gong cultivated Li Hongzhang as his successor, and Emperor Tongzhi also gave Li Hongzhang absolute trust. The Westernization Movement was in full swing everywhere, and every national key industrial project was inseparable from Li Hongzhang's approval. It can be said that the development trajectory of the Qing Dynasty followed the strategies formulated by Li Hongzhang. Both good and bad were borne by Fu Prime Minister Li Hongzhang. During this period, the Westernizers fought on their own. Governors from various places sometimes had conflicts with Li Hongzhang. Among them, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhi The relationship between Dong and Li Hongzhang was the most tense. Regardless of right or wrong in everything, the imperial power always supported Li Hongzhang. Of course, in terms of final practical results, Li Hongzhang was mostly right. When it came to industrial infrastructure construction, Li Hongzhang had a strong foresight. "sex".
Most of the heavy industry projects that Li Hongzhang personally presided over have achieved actual results. As for the benefits, they are often in a situation of 40% to 60%. 40% require continuous transfer of money from the state and have not yet turned losses into profits. 60% can bring revenue to the country. In the blink of an eye, Manchu and Qing dignitaries arrived in droves to enter new industrial projects, and similar companies were built everywhere.
In his middle age, Li Hongzhang was full of energy and extremely efficient at work. At nine o'clock in the morning, he held a seminar on the construction of a fertilizer plant at the Zhili Governor's Office and began to brainwash the officials. Several of Li Guolou's excerpts had been plagiarized by the book office. Each official present holds a copy and asks the officials to understand
"Don't bother with their bad things. We must have a clear conscience. Don't do things that offend the gentry class in Xiaolou. Let's build more farms. The power of examples is poor. You have to believe that people's hearts are kind. You Just look at Yelia next to you and you will know what a kind person he has become." Xie Xiuzhu is one of Li Guolou's behind-the-scenes strategists, and Li Guolou will also listen to her words.
Yelia was embarrassed by Xie Xiuzhu's words. She escaped from Li Guolou's rampage, fastened the buttons of her cheongsam, and said angrily: "The little building is bad and broke my bra. I want you to pay for it." .”
"Okay! Listen to my wife and do my duty well. Everything will be fine for my family. With your help, I can move forward." Li Guolou drank it all in one gulp, putting aside the worries of official business and uniting most of the officials. , only then can he show his ambition, and the officials and gentry will raise the price of fertilizers in the future, which will benefit Li Hongzhang, which is also a good move.
Li Guolou was very open-minded and had already understood the essence of politics. He betrayed national interests and saved the country in order to achieve an early rise in the Qing Dynasty. Everything he did was for the country and the people, leading the Qing Dynasty to become prosperous and powerful. Western Seeing the rapid development of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial powers praised Li Hongzhang and Li Guolou in newspapers. Foreign dignitaries were proud of climbing up to Li Hongzhang and Li Guolou, and those foreign envoys rushed to invite the Qing Dynasty to establish embassies in their countries. A second overseas visit to North and South America is already on the agenda.
After the banquet, Li Guolou dragged the two into the study. Their family was from a scholarly family, and their leisure time after dinner was spent reading and practicing calligraphy. Li Guolou and Xie Xiuzhu would practice calligraphy or read books. They drank too much today, so the two of them drank a lot. They were hugging each other on a chair and watching the English version of "Oliver Twist". Li Guolou was reading and talking, and Xie Xiuzhu was acting like a baby in his arms.
Yelia also has a hobby. She is painting oil paintings. She likes to paint landscapes. Although she is still trying her best, she has already held a personal exhibition in Tianjin. The price of Yelia's oil paintings has been ridiculously high in the antique market, so Yelia is full of excitement. Because of my motivation, I gave up my love of playing cards and wanted to become a master of oil painting, painting on canvas every day.
A few capable ladies managed the housework in an orderly manner. Li Guolou enjoyed the warmth of the big family. Although it was the cold winter, it was still as warm as spring here. Li Guolou squinted and stretched out his hands.
After entering Xie Xiuzhu's bra, she shouted: "Mistress, you are fine. Wash your hands."
"Well, my hands are very clean, I'm here, my second wife, you are so charming." Yelia threw the brush and rushed towards Li Guolou, starting the first round of the long winter night.
Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu complemented each other perfectly, a dragon and two phoenixes were fighting on the bed. On the swaying mahogany bed, the faint gasps could be heard.
