In the morning, Li Guolou came to the Third Hall of the Criminal Department. He showed his face to Bao Yiyi and explained the work arrangements to the leader. Next, he was going to take the Jinshi examination.
This surprised Bao Yiyi. "Ji Zi Liu" actually opened the back door and escorted Li Guolou into the examination room. It seemed that Li Guolou's style won the favor of Prince Gong Yixin. Although he was a little reluctant to leave Li Guolou Ministry of Punishments, but business is a long-term solution. From the bottom of his heart, Bao Yiyi was happy for Li Guolou. Seeing that Li Guolou could still work diligently on his errands before leaving, Bao Yiyi was particularly moved and praised Li Guolou a few words. .The relationship between the two has long been elevated to the level of close friends. Public affairs are involved in private affairs and they talk about everything.
Bao Yiyi sighed with emotion: "Hey, little plum. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. One generation of old people is replaced by a new one. I have been in the officialdom for more than 20 years. I have never seen a talent like you. Farewell, I rely on my old age to show off my old age. I will give you a few This is a wise saying. As long as you keep it in mind, you will be a tumbler in the officialdom for the rest of your life."
"Master Bao, please speak. I will definitely keep it in my heart," Li Guolou said with some reluctance. He wiped his tears. People always have feelings. After getting along for more than half a year, I felt that Bao did things with his conscience. He did not destroy his conscience and never condoned or condoned it. Relatives are corrupt and bend the law. As for making money, this is human nature. Whoever sits in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice will make money. If he does not make money, he breaks the rules and the small treasury will be empty. The future successors will look for trouble. Just like The right minister of the Ministry of Revenue (Shang b1 3kanwang/bzhen) exposed the theft of treasury silver and tricked his predecessor Jingbo.
Bao Yiyi stroked his beard and said: "Xiao Lizi, sometimes you are flattering and can handle things according to the wind. Sometimes you are too stubborn and too straight. You don't understand the true meaning of Tai Chi Push Hands in officialdom. When doing things in officialdom, you don't necessarily have to be 'right' to move forward." Sometimes you have to be roundabout. Sometimes you have to learn to give up your own opinions and instead cater to the opinions of the people above you. The so-called doing something by doing nothing is the essence of Tai Chi and the true meaning of official power. Show others with softness on the outside and use strength on the inside. Or 'praise' "Push and press" or "Push and pull around the void" or "Lean on your elbows and step on" or "Look and look at the center". It seems that there are no tricks, but in fact there are tricks everywhere. The power to parry but not the power to fight back. This is the organic combination of the universal principles of Tai Chi and the specific reality of officialdom. It is also called Tai Chi in officialdom."
Li Guolou nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Bao, for the suggestion. I also know what I stand for. Many of them are out of date. But time waits for no one. The ideas of those Qing schools are really intolerable. What is ancestral family law? In fact, it is their own interests." It cannot be touched. The ancestral family law of our Qing Dynasty has been changed as early as Emperor Yongzheng. This allowed us officials to work as servants and pay for food. The national treasury has been full since then. If it were not for Emperor Yongzheng's restructuring. We can't even afford to pay compensation to foreigners now. The country has been subjugated a long time ago. Now Prince Gong is too cowardly, so the steps he takes are too small. If you want me to take over the military power, I will give Prince Gong a yellow robe. It will make an earth-shaking change. change."
"Hey." Bao Yixin sighed. They, Prince Gong Yixin's disciples, had never hinted that they would let Prince Gong Yixin become the emperor. At first, Prince Gong Yixin was the regent and refused to usurp the imperial power. Now Prince Gong Yixin He resigned as regent and had no ambition to become emperor.
Even the foreigners wanted the Westernization leader "Guiziliu" to proclaim himself emperor. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the capital, they expressed their attitude directly. However, Prince Gong Yixin still refused to become the Qing emperor supported by the Eight-Power Allied Forces.
"Little Li, it depends on God's will. Now the Qing Dynasty cannot be in chaos. If we unite together, we can still resist the invasion of foreigners. If it falls apart, the country will not be a country. We will all become sinners. You'd better sit tight first and learn Tai Chi. Push hands. Get the right to speak. Let the market for reformists be wider. Don't capsize in the gutter. Wait until you are mature and prudent before you can use it." Bao Yiyi followed the guidance and taught earnestly.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Your Majesty knows that the true meaning of Tai Chi Push Hands is the black and thick science of Westerners. The so-called: not expressing joy, anger, sorrow and joy is called thick. It is called black and thick if it is expressed without scruples. The foundation of the world is the foundation of the world. The black is the way of the world. The most black is the world's fear. Ghosts and gods are afraid of it. Faint kings and traitorous ministers are all thick and black. Even wise kings and virtuous ministers may not be thin and white."
Bao Yiyi clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Okay. Since you can integrate Western black and white knowledge into eight-legged essays, I believe you deserve to be a Jinshi. You can write a warning policy without cheating."
Li Guolou chuckled and said, "Master Bao, I'm so flattered. I can't be admitted to Jinshi without the reputation of the ancient Zhang Haogu."
"Hahahaha." Bao Yi looked up to the sky and laughed. He seemed to see Li Guolou standing on the court and jumping up and down. Li Guolou was not only smart, but also grateful. His new ideas built a new business kingdom, and he was also a part of it. All efforts were made to build a powerful Qing Empire.
"Little Lizi, just because you know it doesn't mean you will do it. Like Prince Gong, he endured the humiliation and signed a treasonous treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country. He was burdened with a lifetime of infamy. It was as if he was a person who betrayed his motherland. Others can't understand the sourness and jealousy in it. Who knows if he wants to succeed? You have to pay the price. You have to be patient, have a correct attitude, and make some political achievements. I will also try my best to help you. You can't achieve great things by doing your own thing. You still have to integrate in and let those who are clear-minded. , conservatives. They want to slander you, but they are reluctant to give up their vested interests. Sometimes they bring in foreigners to scare the court. It is also a clever trick..." Bao Yiyi said a lot. He taught Li Guolou like a teacher. Promotion is not only You need to follow the right person. You also need to understand the way to be an official.
Li Guolou understands everything. In the past, his elder brother Li Guoyun warned him to be mature and prudent. Don't be unconventional. He would be criticized by his superiors. Then he would be relegated to the cold palace and spend his life mediocre. But in this society, he has his own ideas and implements them. He wanted to try to do it. Especially after he succeeded in one thing after another, Li Guolou's ambition expanded rapidly. His pace accelerated. He wanted to change the surrounding environment and even change people's ideas. He wanted to continue to gamble. Go down, bet your wealth and life, drag more people into this gambling game, and establish your own business empire as soon as possible.
At noon, Li Guolou still had business matters and did not stay to eat. Then he and Bao said goodbye together. Bao also rarely saw Li Guolou out of the house. He walked to the door of the first hall. Then the two of them said goodbye.
"Lord Bao, stay here. Your subordinate has gone back. News will come in the evening." Li Guolou stopped, bowed and saluted, and asked Bao to return with him.
"Well. Little Li. Good births. I am waiting for your good news. Then I won't give it." Bao towered together.
The people passing by do not know the so -called. They are there or whispered a theft. I did not expect that Li Guolou had such treatment. A master of the three officials. Send a lower official nine -grade official. What is the relationship between the two. What is the relationship between the two? Wu Kefan touched the bearded face with a laugch. He hanged his face on his face.
Li Guolou watched his anger. He punching on Wu Kefan's belly. He scolded: "Have you been like you? Remember. Don't be inferior. Sin debt. "
Wu Kefan pretended to be painful. He frowned and grinned: "Little plum. You are too lacking. Your buttocks are not clearly covered. Fortunately, I want to say me. I can't say anything."
"It's not okay to laugh." Li Guolou likes to deal with Da Lao rough. Don't be careful of B1 3 to see the net/b directly.
Sometimes Li Guolou still feels good. Dare to do it. There is a stake. He dares to say anything. "Ai Hai" is Manchu. The business of business is also entrusted to the "money and gold". It is also Manchu. In the minds of Li Guolou, there is no ideal of "driving out Manchu. Restoring China". The Han nation originally merged forward. " Han "is just a symbol. How can there be a pure -breed Han people. Why bother to set up a Chinese master. As long as the current master is qualified. Baojiang Mountain. It is much better than the Daqing Jiangshan.
Wu Kefan asked: "Little Plum. Tell my brother. Why did Master Bao send you?"
Li Guolou proudly said: "Lao Wu. It's okay to tell you. Well, let you not want to crooce. Three days later, I want to enter the examination room.
"Oh ..." Wu Kefan's mind is so big. Think about it. Xiaobai, Xiaosong Zhu Danyu, also went to the scientific examination. Two or three thousand students took the wooden bridge. sit.
"That brother wishes you good luck. Hahahaha." Wu Kefan patted Li Guolou's shoulders. I really sent a blessing. From his perspective, Li Guolou admitted to Jinshi. Nengwu can also speak English. People like Li Guolou can't get into a jinshi. Then it is called no reason.
Li Guolou returned to the Earth Courtyard. One of the people was waiting for him. The litigator Song Shixiong was sitting in the room to swallow the clouds and vomiting the mist. He was talking about his glorious history. Yi Leng. These fast -rooted foundations are still shallow. Some caught is not qualified to listen to adults for trial. It is curious about what happened in the public hall. I imagine Song Shixiong as "the master of the people". ".
Of course, Li Guolou knew Song Shixiong's old bottom. He only held his stinky feet. However, on the surface, Li Guolou was still politely speaking. He didn't like his elder brother Yao Bo like to put on the shelf. Let his men respect and fear.
Li Guolou still maintains its true nature. Like the spring breeze. Smile: "Ah. Mr. Song is here. Let you run it in person. It is too late to be the master." The outside breath blows in. Dispel the smell of cigarettes in the room.
"Captain Li. Come to an old knife cigarette. Patriotic smoking old knife cigarettes." Song Shixiong stood up. Pull out a bag of cigarettes. There is a good man with a cigarette on it. . The chic cigarette with two fingers was packed to Li Guolou a domestic cigarette.
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Mr. Song, I don't smoke domestic cigarettes. The smell is too strong. You should keep it for yourself. Also, which country you smoke has nothing to do with patriotism. The cigarette rolling machine is from a cigarette factory." They are imported from abroad. But the boss of this cigarette factory has a way. He came up with this saying. From now on, Laodao brand cigarettes will be popular all over the world." After speaking, Li Guolou opened his bag and took out French Camel brand cigarettes. One person I was given a pack of Camel cigarettes.
"Hey, Captain Li, he has great magical powers." Song Shixiong took the Camel cigarette and was filled with emotion.
Although the Qing Dynasty has opened up the country, many imported products have quantitative restrictions. Otherwise, the impact on domestic products will be too great. Imported Camel brand cigarettes are luxury goods and cannot be sold everywhere. People who use foreign luxury goods. You must have money and connections. The Qing Dynasty had just fought a war with the French in Nan'an (Vietnam). People across the country were boycotting French goods. So French goods disappeared in many places. If you want to buy them, you don't know where to buy them.
"Now that the war is over, the French Concession still exists. Smoking French cigarettes is not a traitor." Li Guolou took out an imported match and struck it against the door frame. The match in his hand burned with a "pop." It was very handsome. He lights the cigarette on his fingertips and makes the people next to him intoxicated.
This was broken. The man who had been sitting still suddenly stood up and rushed forward to snatch the matchbox in Li Guolou's hand. "Give it to me." "Give it to me." "Give it to me." "Give it to me." .”
A box of imported matches was snatched by four agents. Li Guolou was unable to deal with it. The four agents could do whatever they wanted. He only had a pack of magic matches. The last four agents picked out the matches. The four of them sat on the ground and divided the spoils. Each person took a few matches, and then the activity ceased.
Finally, the room calmed down. Li Guolou raised his eyes and said: "Vice Captain Ai, do you know why I invited Mr. Song here?"
"Of course it's about the theft of the household treasury." Ai Hai said without hesitation. He also knew this and couldn't think of anything else.
Li Guolou wanted to test Ai Hai to see if Ai Hai could take over his class and see if he had the brains of a god. The final test was that he failed. Ai Hai only knew that Song Shixiong was here to help solve the theft case of the Ministry of Finance. How to use Song Shixiong. And what are the loopholes in the theft case of Hubu Treasury. Ai Hai looked at a stack of files and still had no clue.
"Hey." Li Guolou was in a low mood. He didn't have enough talent. The loophole was right in front of Ai Hai, but he still couldn't see it. He said helplessly: "Let's go. Let's go to eat first. I'll talk to you during the meal. In the afternoon, we'll go to "Tongyi Hall" 》Go and examine the case. The loophole in the case of theft of treasury banknotes is right there.”
"Ah." Ai Hai flipped through the files on the theft of banknotes from the household department. He didn't see the word "Tongyi Tang" from beginning to end. He couldn't help but be deeply suspicious of Li Guolou.
