4743 Er Mao was scolded!
In recent years, Emperor Tongzhi's reforms, especially the vigorous promotion of industrialization, have made Weng Tonghe very uncomfortable. He has fought countless times, but the results have all failed!
To be honest, the old man is not a particularly stubborn person. He is actually very smart. When Xiao Letian failed to succeed, he was still writing a story about traveling to the West while he was making a living in the capital.
The old man at that time was still very old-fashioned, but Xiao Letian rose so quickly later, how could this imperial master not reflect?
From resistance to gradually integrating into learning, he even went to Naha to inspect and see for himself how Xiao Letian succeeded!
Industry, mercantilism, maritime trade, military strengthening the military, revising the Chinese Code... A series of combined punches shocked him extremely!
At this time, he was no longer the particularly stubborn leader of Qingliu. He had already clearly realized how powerful the power established by the West was!
Of course everyone wants powerful power, so Emperor Tongzhi wants to reform and change the status quo!
But Weng Tonghe is a traditional Chinese literati after all. He knows what the doctrine of the mean is, he knows what the harmony of yin and yang is, and he understands better what the principle of promoting one thing will bring about one thing!
This is a very clever oriental philosophy, and the old man is well aware of it!
When he saw Ermao, Weng Tonghe, who had pale braids, put on a hat and looked at Ermao with expressionless face, "So it's the general manager... I've been missing for many days, how good has it been?"
Ermao smiled and said, "I am thinking about it by Lord Lao Weng, I've taken a break from my busy schedule!"
"Haha... you're doing well, but the people in the world are not doing well! Supervisor Ermao, if I remember correctly, your hometown is in Yi County and is also from a poor family, right?"
Ermao was speechless and didn't know what the old man wanted to say.
"I remember that General Ermao was sick and could not afford to raise his father, so he had to go to the palace to be a eunuch. At that time, he just wanted to have a full meal..."
"Before entering the palace, he was exploited and bullied by corrupt eunuchs. In the end, Xiao Letian saved you, and you have the wealth and glory you have today!"
"I don't want to say who you are loyal to. Xiao Letian has kindness to save you, but you can't repay your kindness, but Long live to have friendship with you! Don't harm Your Majesty!"
"You are a child from a poor family. You should know how hard the people of the Qing Dynasty lived... I advise Your Majesty more, and while you complete your godfather's task, you should accumulate some virtue for yourself!"
"Please advise Your Majesty to think more about the food for the people... In such a cold winter, it is also your good deeds to live more!"
Ermao made Weng Tong's face turn red when he said something, "Well... Lord Weng doesn't understand what he said! Why does this commoner's food rations get in the way of me?"
"Haha... Ermao! Don't think I'm an old and outdated person. I can understand the Europa trick. I understand what your godfather Xiao Letian is doing!"
"Any Western powers, from the early stages of industrialization, were built on cruel exploitation of farmers! The factory workshops drained the labor and funds in the countryside!"
"The city is becoming more and more prosperous, but the countryside is becoming more and more dilapidated, and even in the end I can't even eat enough!"
"You said that European countries had not had a big famine in the early stages of industry? In the final analysis, it was because the industry drew blood, drained agricultural resources and caused the people to survive!"
"Those are all humans! Living people!"
"Xiao Letian has been reluctant to invade the Qing Dynasty. Do you really think he is kind-hearted? Haha... he can't deceive me!"
"Why did Xiao Letian's Chinese industrialization succeed? That's because the people of our Qing Dynasty helped him bear the disadvantages brought by industrialization!"
"Didn't the Chinese people's industrial zones and major projects drain the people of our Qing Dynasty? Did they all snatch their money from Europa?"
"Bigou is still the period when private funds in Jiangnan are flooded!"
"Haha... He took away all the benefits of industrialization, and threw the mess in the rural areas to me in the Qing Dynasty! He is really good at calculating, and he has made all his money and face!"
"The people can't survive anymore, and they can't scold him. They are all scolding the court of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor!"
"After draining the strong labor and funds in the countryside, what else do they have to farm? If the Qing Dynasty had no people farmed, what would we eat and drink?"
"The countless rural people who can't survive don't know who the worst evil is. They were sold by Xiao Letian, and they have to count the money for him when they turn back!"
"Ermao! You are also a child of poor people... Remember that there are gods three feet above your head! Remember to accumulate virtue in your work and leave some way for the people to live!"
"Let me see again...you dare to deceive the Lord...I...I...I...I'll die with you!"
After scolding Weng Tonghe walked out of the Yangxin Palace angrily, leaving Ermao standing at the door with blushing face!
The eunuchs and palace maids in the yard were stunned. Supervisor Ermao was so noble. Who dared to be disrespectful to Supervisor Ermao? Today, this old man really got the courage of the bear heart and leopard!
When the eldest son saw Ermao being defeated, he was happy but could not express his face. He quickly came over and persuaded him, "Is this... Is this Lord Weng suffering from phlegm syndrome? Whether the people are famine or not has anything to do with us as eunuchs?"
"Master Ermao, he is too bullying!"
Ermao ignored Da Sixi's provocation, but shook his head without saying anything and turned around and entered the Palace of Harmony.
Emperor Tongzhi in the hall also heard what he had just said. He looked at Ermao and sighed helplessly, "Master Weng is scolding you on the surface, but in fact he is scolding me!"
"The gap between our master and apprentice is getting deeper and deeper! Ermao, just take some grievances and think it's for me!"
Ermao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm counting that dish? How can I feel wronged or not? I just don't understand what Lord Weng said..."
Zai Chun frowned and said, "Ermao... Speaking of this truth, I really want to ask you! How true is Master Weng's words just now analyzed by the Head of State, is it true or false?"
Ermao felt a little nervous and thought to himself that the emperor was suspicious of his godfather? Weng Tonghe was creating cracks!
Ermao did not hesitate to say openly when he thought about this, "I think... 90% of what Lord Weng said is true!"
With a bang, it turned out that the little emperor knocked down the tea cup, and the remaining tea was sprinkled all over the ground, "You... how could you slander the head of state so much? You are too brave!"
"Haha... Your Majesty! I have been in friendship with you for so many years. When I first entered the palace, I took you to see the globe!"
"What do you say? If Your Majesty had no suspicion in his heart, then there would not be such a question. You actually had some doubts about the Head of State!"
Emperor Tongzhi made a big blushing face, "Nonsense! My master and I have a deep relationship, how could we have doubts..."
"Hahaha... Your Majesty, don't hide it, I'll tell the truth!"
"The head of state is a businessman at heart. Since he is a businessman, all the decisions he made can naturally be explained!"
Note: In life, people are just fate that will be separated!
We all take a one-way ticket to death without any turning back. We will meet many people along the way, both good and bad!
But most of the time, most people have a very short period of time.
It’s just a brief pass! I hope we cherish the short fate and give each other some kindness!
If no one provokes you, no one harms you, why do you speak badly?
We waved our hands to say goodbye in the crowd, and we may not meet again in this life. Why don’t we leave some good marks for this world?
In this wall of life, you will be covered with whatever you want and you can’t erase it!
Chapter completed!
