The night on Taibaiding gradually became quiet. Scattered sounds of wine came from the distance in the night wind, and Hu Niu sat next to Xiao Letian and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Today, Xiao Letian really scared the little girl. She didn't expect that Xiao Letian was so brave and dared to cast silver coins privately. She didn't know who the man named Prince was. Anyway, his father and Brother Xiao respected him very much. The little girl couldn't understand why these bandits who once besieged her are now so docile and friendly.

Although Hu Niu is not favored at home, she has seen the world after all. Except for the overseas trade, she understood the rest of Xiao Letian's economic layout. She knew that this was profit from fire. Every penny of interest earned by Xiao Letian was actually snatched from the abuse of fire, which harmed the people.

Hu Niu, who comes from a businessman family, knows that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Xiao Letian is trying to discover the financial path of corrupt officials in the world, which is great. Please come to more and faster chapters.

Just when Hu Niu was worried about Xiao Letian, the door gently pushed open, and the half-drunk Fan Yan walked in. He looked at the sleeping Xiao Letian, patted his daughter on the shoulder and took her out.

"Father, is it really good for Brother Xiao to do this? He is an enemy of all the officials in the world! Once the court knows, he will kill the nine clans..."

Fan Jian smiled wryly and said, "Daughter, since we split up with your uncle, I have already known that the world is so great that there is no place for us to hide. Since the separation, do you know how many relationships have been cut off from us? They look down on me. They think that I am just looking for death after leaving the house. They don't believe that I can start a business empty-handed..."

"I still don't believe in this evil anymore. I want them to see with my own eyes that without a family, I, Fan Jian, are still the leader of the Shanxi merchants who call for the wind and rain. I can still create a big family business. And Xiao Letian is our hope..."

Fan Jian was a little afraid to look at his daughter's eyes, and lowered his head and said, "Daughter, I don't know whether the choice is right or wrong. I won't let you be someone else's concubine. I've saved you from the scene. But I'm a little scared when I follow my father on this dangerous road."

"Don't ask too much about this copycat. Just pretend that you don't know. Everything is rotten in your stomach... Especially for the matter of a prince, you can't even reveal a little shadow. Do you know why I didn't take Ah Chou over? Just because of her big mouth, you will say that you have lived in Yi County these days..."

The father and daughter discussed in the night for a long time. From time to time, Hu Niu wiped her tears with her handkerchief. Shi Dakai looked at them quietly behind the flowers, sighing in her heart, "How many other businessmen can look at the Qing Dynasty? Perhaps only Hu Xueyan can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

Shi Dakai didn't know that Hu Xueyan, who now has a net worth of tens of millions, looks extremely glorious on the surface, but for the Qing Dynasty, this is a pig that has become increasingly fat. Sooner or later, it will be killed and eaten by meat. Now all forces are eyeing him, and as long as there is a slight mistake, the wolves will naturally tear him to pieces.

The real history is indeed like that. Hu Xueyan lost tens of millions of taels of silver after a war with foreign merchants. At that time, the Qing government did not say that he would conduct emergency blood transfusions to protect this big businessman who could compete with foreign merchants. Instead, bureaucrats from all over the country competed to withdraw deposits and extort groups.

Until the end, Cixi issued an order to investigate and deal with it. All the heads on Hu Xueyan's body were stripped naked, and he was unable to bear the loss and eventually died of illness.

Xiao Letian didn't want to follow Hu Xueyan's footsteps, and he was not even willing to let his father-in-law take this risk for him. What kind of virtues are all the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty? Xiao Letian has seen it very clearly in real history. They regard everyone as slaves, and they regard all Han people as lambs to be slaughtered. As long as you become fat and fall into their eyes, your fate will always be a group of wolves.

So if Xiao Letian wants to rebel, he will first start with the corrupt financial system of the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, he doesn't want to be a follower, so he will first dig out a large piece of flesh and blood from the fire consumption. Anyway, it will be useless to hand over the money to you.

The next morning, Xiao Letian said goodbye to Shi Dakai and returned to Yi County. Now he is already well-known in the Qing Dynasty and cannot disappear for a long time. County Magistrate Liu had already reported to him secretly. Now Yi County is full of mysterious figures, and initially it is estimated that they are all spies from all sides.

Thanks to the fact that the bureaucracy in Yi County had collectively been loyal to Xiao Letian, the news of him sneaking into the mountain was hidden. In the eyes of the people of Yi County, Xiao Letian, an overseas guest, has been living in the house of Master Qingsan during this period.

Later in Yi County, Xiao Letian began to write his own "The Journey to the West" every chapter was quickly passed to the capital by fast horse. When Hanlin Luo Hao and the military machine chapter Jing Wenxiu received the latest article, he immediately took more than a dozen writers to copy and posted it in major bookstores in Beijing as soon as possible.

Now, in front of the bookstore in Beijing, there are all waiting for updates and the butlers of various families. Whenever the latest chapters are posted, the crowd of black people will immediately surrounded the wooden boards. In this spring of the fourth year of Tongzhi, Xiao Letian truly became famous in Beijing. Please come with more and faster chapters.

Xiao Letian talked about Wang Lao Hanlin, coupled with the bizarre kidnapping case, and even the industrial special zone plan that made the government and the opposition discuss. These things pushed Xiao Letian's reputation to the top. Coupled with the inexplicable silence of the high-level Qing dynasties, all forces even smelled a different smell. Gradually, the breeze of Western learning really began to blew.

The court was still the same, and the two empress dowagers who were in charge of the government from behind the curtain carefully balanced the court. Yi and Fuqing no longer dared to discuss their plans for the industrial special zone in the court. On the contrary, under the cover of the Zongli Yamen, the preliminary investigation activities were secretly started. As for what the Eight Banners men could investigate, it was God knows.

The distant western part of the empire was not peaceful. Just at the beginning of this year, Aguber, the military commander of the Kokhan Khanate in Central Asia, began to intervene in the Hui tribe rebellion in Xinjiang, and openly sent troops to invade with the support of Tsarist Russia. It seems that the major incident of Zuo Zongtang entering Xinjiang in history was inevitable. Updated at the first time

As for Zeng Guofan, who was clearing out the remnants of Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, he actually turned down the original plan to return to Beijing to report his work on the excuse of clearing out the remnants of Changmao. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Zeng brothers were silently protesting to the court. It seemed that the plan for the industrial special zone in Jiangnan could not avoid these two brothers.

In general, the Qing Dynasty was still not peaceful, which made those aspiring scholars increasingly willing to study Xiao Letian's Western learning. Some radicals even began to connect privately, wanting to collectively become the first group of disciples of Western learning.

Although the weather in the late Qing Dynasty was dull, there were always some people who woke up first, and there were always some people who were willing to accept change. However, change is always painful, such as Xiang Shaolong, who let Xiao Letian go.

In the mountains of Yanqing County, west of the capital, there is a village called Xiangjiazhuang. This village is purely condensed by the clan. The clan leader and village chief are Xiang Shaolong.

In the threshing ground in front of the village, the No. 30 and 40 apprentices were stomping on horseback. Under the gaze of the master, no one dared to be lazy. The sweat on his forehead was ticking down.

Xiang Shaolong, who was sitting on the stone mill, looked at his disciples on the surface, but you can tell that he was actually in a daze when you look closely.

Xiang Shaolong has been recuperating at home these days. He recalled what Xiao Letian said to him for no reason, as well as the things in the book "The Journey to the West", which are often caused by strange remarks.

It is said that curiosity kills Mao. Xiang Shaolong is a person with too strong curiosity, otherwise he would not have been bewitched by Xiao Letian's rebellious thoughts. Unfortunately, it was precisely because of his thoughts that his Xiang family village was in a deep crisis.

During that night of fierce battle, not many of his disciples died, only four or five, and many were injured. More than twenty disciples were beaten into a pockmarked face by iron sand. Xiang Shaolong spent more than ten thousand taels of money on the deceased and the medicine expenses for the injured during this period.

A hero from the world emphasizes loyalty and neglects money. Xiang Shaolong looks big outside, but his family is not rich. If he hadn't been hoping to get some protection fees from the business road leading from Yanqing to Zhangjiakou, Xiangjiazhuang would have starved to death just by planting crops. Now that more than 10,000 silver has been spent, the life in Xiangjiazhuang is really getting tighter.

However, Xiang Shaolong had no regrets. The great hero who stood tall and squirted was a nail. Since he chose to let him go, he would never regret it. Now Xiang Shaolong was just staring in a daze because of the history of the development of foreign guns mentioned in Xiao Letian's book, he was attracted by the colorful world of firearms.

"The foreigner is so smart that he can invent machine guns that fire thousands of projectiles in an instant. How spectacular is that scene?" Just as he was thinking, a crying figure suddenly ran into Zhuangzikou.

"Uncle Long... Wuwuwu, Uncle Long... I'm sorry for you, I was fired by the county school..." A boy from the 14th and 15th century ran over, kneeling in front of Xiang Shaolong with a thud and burst into tears.

When the people present saw that this was not a scholar from Xiang Jiazhuang, Xiang Ying, the nephew of Master Long? He is the Qilin son of the Xiang family who was praised by the Yang Lao Juren in the county. He is not proficient in reading and writing. He is now studying in the private school of Yang Lao Juren. Doesn’t it mean that he will be allowed to take the exam for the scholar in the year?

Amid Xiang Ying's crying, the people in Xiangjiazhuang were furious. It turned out that as soon as Xiang Ying went to school, she was scolded by the old Juren in front of countless students, saying that Xiangjiazhuang was born in a low-minded bandit, and such a person was not worthy of reading sages, so she fired Xiang Ying on the spot.

"Let's go and go to the county to argue. When did our Xiangjiazhuang do bandit work? No matter how high Yang Juren is, he can't even think about tainting our innocence. Go and sue him..." The crowd was about to go out in a mess, but at this time Xiang Shaolong roared.

"Shut up, I'm here to decide... Xiang Ying, please be careful, what else did Juren Yang say?" Xiang Shaolong asked.

"Wuwuwu, he also said that someone in the county government has sued us, saying that we were extorting the caravan... and finally the master whispered to me, let me die of my mind in studying, we... our Xiang family will never have to come up with scholars in another hundred years..."

I understood, Xiang Shaolong understood at that time that this was the big man in the capital who took action. It was so cruel that he wanted to cut off our Xiang family's century of fame and fortune? However, Xiang Shaolong knew that the big man in the capital had definitely had this energy.

So fast, this revenge came so fast. Just as Xiang Shaolong was trembling all over, a black light suddenly came straight to his face. It turned out to be a hidden weapon.

"Who? Dare to show off in front of me!" Xiang Shaolong copied the hand and a small sleeve arrow fell into his hand, but when he looked closely, he saw that there was a letter wrapped around the sleeve arrow.

"Once Long is so handsome, but I wonder if you can deal with thousands of troops? Hahaha, even if our military advisor returns you a favor..." The voice quickly disappeared.

Xiang Shaolong had a good memory. At that time, he knew that this was the Sima Yun under Xiao Letian, a young man with great light skills. He raised his hand to stop the disciples' pursuit and opened the secret letter.

"Escape from Xiangjiazhuang immediately. The officers and soldiers besiege here tonight. If there are guns and cannons, remember not to be a chariot with a mantis arm, just be careful."
