    Wang Qinian snorted coldly but said nothing. In fact, it was not that he didn't understand what Qi Zhiti just said. It was just that he was too strong-tempered and had too much power. Naturally, he couldn't see some things. At this time, Qi Zhiti exposed this.  Qi Zhiti looked at the other party's face and continued to explain: "As for these female officials, it is not a big problem. After all, the emperor is already seven or eight years old, and he will get married in six or seven years at most. Then  It will be natural to gradually use a new group of female officials to serve him to replace the existing group of people. Those new female officials cannot compare with the current people in terms of qualifications and experience. Isn¡¯t the current problem solved naturally? " Hear?  Here, the knot in Wang Qinian's heart was unraveled. He was not fifty yet, and he would only be fifty-four in another six or seven years. It was the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, if he had sole power, he could accomplish a career in ten years.  The human elbow.  Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wang Qinian's usually stern face, and he turned to Qi Zhiti and said, "Ms. Qi, the late emperor once praised you for your quick wit and your superior intelligence, but when I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary!" "I don't dare, no.  Dare!" Qi Zhiti hurriedly smiled and said, "It's enough to sincerely follow Mr. Jiwei!" At the same time, there was also a small-scale storm happening in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the core of the storm was just from Yan.  The leader who returned from the Yingdian Palace to carry out the mission is Concubine Lin Wanqing.  "None of those sour people in the outer court are good!" Lin Wanqing's face was livid, and the ground under her feet was littered with white porcelain pieces, which were the teacups she had just broken in her rage.  These female officials who served as Bingbi were all poor orphans and had no offspring, so they naturally paid more attention to the enjoyment of money. Many of them were deeply involved in the jewelry, makeup, and fireworks businesses in Beijing. Lin Wan  Qing is naturally no exception. If heavy taxes are imposed on these businesses as proposed by Qi Zhiti, she alone will probably lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. Given Lin Wanqing's powerful position,  It is inevitable that there will be some physical pain.  "Mother, please calm down!" Jiang Qingyue on the side persuaded with a smile: "Of course these sour people are not good things, but this time we have made progress and made mistakes, it is a blessing in disguise!" Lin Wanqing thought of Jiang at this time  Not only did Qingyue show her face in front of Empress Dowager Deng, but she also got a job that looked very lucrative. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart, and sneered: "That's natural. It's natural for a girl from the Jiang family to get such a good job."  It's more than enough to make up for those losses!" After Jiang Qingyue heard this, she didn't know how jealous the other party was towards her, so she quickly smiled and said, "I just spoke for our sisters in the inner court. Do you think this is a big deal?  Without the help of the empress, how could Qingyue be able to take on the task alone? As long as we can handle this matter well and keep this company in our hands, even if the emperor comes to rule in person and our sisters step down, there will be no need.  I'm worried that the flowers will be spent!" After hearing Jiang Qingyue's words, Lin Wanqing became less jealous and said with a smile: "In that case, I can't help, after all, we are all sisters in the inner court.  I can¡¯t just leave it alone!¡± ¡°Then Qingyue will thank you first!¡± Jiang Qingyue hurriedly bowed and said, ¡°Your Majesty opened the door, Qingyue is already 70 to 80% sure!¡±  , Lin bowed for a while, and at this time they were talking and laughing as if they were biological sisters.  After about half a cup of tea, Jiang Qingyue stood up and left, saying that she would rush back and write out the details of the matter so that Lin Wanqing and Queen Mother Deng could preview it.  Jiang Qingyue resigned from Lin Wanqing, returned to her room and immediately bent over her desk to write. In a short while, she wrote two letters. She took a piece of beeswax and melted it on a candle nearby, pressed it on the seal, and used  The seal from the ring is stamped on it.  After packing up, Jiang Qingyue called his confidants from outside and said in a deep voice: "You should leave the palace immediately and personally deliver these two letters to Shopkeeper Zhou of Rong Baozhai. Do you understand?" The confidant took the letters and sent them to Jiang Qing  Yue's order was repeated: "Yes, empress, hand these two letters to Shopkeeper Zhou of Rongbaozhai!" "Very good!" Jiang Qingyue nodded with satisfaction: "After you finish it, you can start from  Take the fifty taels of silver from Shopkeeper Zhou and spend it on your own!" At this point, Jiang Qingyue didn't wait for the other party to thank him, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "If you mess up the mission, you don't have to come back!" "Yes, Jiang!  Accept the decree!" The confidant was already kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.  Looking at the departing figure of his confidant, Jiang Qingyue's eyes turned cold and she said to herself: "Lin Wanqing, Lin Wanqing, the cause of tomorrow is the result of today. One day I will let you know my  Awesome!" Eight days later, Wanding.  Chen Zaixing was discussing with several staff in the tent how to recruit migrant workers and expand roads. Suddenly a man came in from outside the tent, presented a letter with both hands, and said: "Master Chen, there is an urgent message!" "Yes!" Chen Zaixing nodded.  He nodded and took it casually.I glanced at the signature of the letter habitually, and I couldn't help but be startled. It turned out that the signature of this letter was actually one of my own shops in Kunming. However, not many people knew about this company's relationship with me. They were all very close to me.  Yes, a letter has been sent at this juncture. Could it be that there is something important that cannot be accomplished?  Chen Zaixing thought for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "I have a small matter, I will come back later, everyone can discuss it slowly." All the staff hurriedly got up to see each other off, Chen Zaixing walked out of the tent, opened the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly changed.  Big change, full of excitement that cannot be concealed.  He walked back and forth for a few steps, then suddenly stopped, waved his hand to summon an attendant, and whispered to him: "Go and summon Mr. Kong, just say that I have something important to discuss with him!" About two-quarters of an hour later  , in Chen Zaixing¡¯s inner residence.  Kong Zhang held the letter that Chen Zaixing had just written in his hand. His fingers were trembling slightly, and he was obviously very excited.  "Congratulations on your resurrection, congratulations on your resurrection!" Kong Zhang suddenly said loudly: "There is really no end to the road. If we can get this monopoly charter, even millions of gold can be obtained with just a few clicks. Our previous losses  What does it matter?" "Yes, it's really an unexpected surprise!" At this time, Chen Zaixing had recovered from the previous excitement, with a faint smile on his upright face, and he couldn't help but admire him secretly in his eyes.  The cultivation of not being surprised by the other party's changes.  "But for such a big event, we are definitely not the only one who wants to get involved. Even if there are people above us, we can't fail to live up to our expectations!" Kong Zhang heard the implication of Chen Zaixing's words: "The bosses want to open this exclusive store.  The charter is nothing more than fighting the British for money. We must first raise enough money. With money in our pockets, we will naturally speak louder!" "That's right!" Chen Zaixing stood up: "To put it bluntly, this is a war.  Money, in fact, it is not unfair to pay this amount. Whether it is building railways, mining, or building factories, which of these profitable businesses can do without the soldiers of the imperial court? In fact, the imperial court sends troops to fight for our company, so we need to get such huge benefits.  , Isn¡¯t it right to pay some money first? Mr. Kong, please explain this to those businessmen, so that things can be done better. Remember, we are not begging them, they are begging us!¡± ¡°Yes, they are begging us!  !" Kong Zhang slapped his thigh, and then lowered his voice and asked with a mysterious expression: "Then do we want to reveal to these guys that there are people above us?" "No, there is no need to say this kind of thing so easily!  They are money dogs, and their noses are sharper than anyone else. As long as they smell the smell of money, you can't drive it away with a stick. A little ventilation will be enough." At this point, Chen Zaixing smiled and pulled Kong Zhang away.  He came closer and said in a low voice: "The places where wealth gathers are none other than Jiangnan and Shanghai. That is Liu Qingyang's hometown. Who can beat him in this kind of skill of pulling up and down? This time you go there with ease and simplicity, and you will be the first one."  Go find him, this business cannot be done without him! " "Yes, yes!" Kong Zhang nodded repeatedly, and then said a little unconvinced: "Hey, this kid can run fast, but he still has a share of the meat.  , I¡¯m really unconvinced!¡± Chen Zaixing heard the resentment in Kong Zhang¡¯s heart and said with a smile: ¡°Brother Kong, what¡¯s the point of being unconvinced? If this matter is settled, you and him will be a family again.  If you are not limited by the Kong and Liu families, you can start your own business and do big things. Do you still care about being stingy? Besides, Liu Qingyang helped us in the previous matter. At most, let him stay in Shanghai after the matter is completed.  Let¡¯s put a good shark¡¯s fin feast on the table to return your favor!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Kong Zhang nodded: ¡°It¡¯s not too late, I¡¯ll go back and pack up, and we¡¯ll leave tomorrow!¡±  " "I will explain what happened here and leave for Hanking immediately. This matter must be completed!" Chen Zaixing's face was as steely as every word seemed to pop out of his mouth.  In Bagan, Myanmar, more than twenty days have passed since the battle that determined the fate of Myanmar. The first batch of reinforcements from Mandalay arrived about ten days ago. Although these reinforcements were not compliant troops arriving from China,  It¡¯s just the Myanmar New Army whose combat effectiveness is worrying, but no matter what, reinforcements are reinforcements, even if they are used to collect food and garrison strongholds, it is good.  Moreover, various rewards and promotion orders also satisfied the surviving Shunjun soldiers, which made their morale even higher.  In the Shunjun military camp, the houses that were damaged and destroyed during the battle have been repaired, but the bullet holes and shrapnel embedded in the walls of the houses can be seen everywhere, showing the traces of the fierce battle not long ago.  For two reasons, Batu did not move his army into Bagan City: First, the geographical location here is very important, and it can control the important waterway of the Irrawaddy River, and Bagan City, which was built in the Cold Weapon Age, is neither suitable for firearms.  Defense during the war, and the city's area is too large compared to the number of Shun troops, which is not conducive to defense; second, and most importantTherefore, as a foreign army, it is a very sensitive act for the Shun Army to directly enter Bagan, the religious and cultural center of Central Myanmar. It can also easily cause direct conflicts with local monks and citizens, resulting in large-scale  resistance movement, this is a lesson learned from the past.  So Batu just rebuilt the military camp and let the Burmese royal army from Mandalay occupy the city of Bagan.  Of course, what Batu did not expect was that his behavior would win him a high reputation in Myanmar. Many Myanmar people called him the reincarnation of Vajra before the Buddha - brave and good at fighting but humble and polite.  Of course, this reputation means nothing to Batu himself. He would rather use this to switch to a thousand fully equipped soldiers. After many battles, the number of soldiers under his direct command has dropped to a thousand.  Around four hundred people, this is a very dangerous number, especially compared to the huge fruits of victory he has already obtained.
