051 Letter from the Third Master Qing
Eunuch Zheng was beaten so stupid that he couldn't tell the difference between men and women. Even the eunuch who was with him was so stupid that he could hardly find his mouth to eat. It was not that Ermao was ruthless, but that the two palms he put on the leopard head were effective, and it was thanks to Xiao Letian's compassion that he didn't slap these two castrated people to death.
Xiao Letian didn't want to make things worse, so he didn't do anything to death. He didn't ask for any compensation for the last eunuch who didn't go to the casino. Instead, he sent two hundred dollars to block his mouth.
The eunuchs who were not bullied to death in the palace were all monkey spirits. The little eunuch would never go against money. Moreover, when he saw that the officials in the county were calm, he knew that the water was too deep, so he didn't dare to say a lot of nonsense.
The case was finally confirmed. The bad gambling eunuch Zheng annoyed Leopard Head because he did not pay his gambling debts, and was eventually attacked and beaten to death. The witnesses included hundreds of gamblers in the casino, the head of the county magistrate Wang Hu and dozens of constables under his command, including several households close to the crime scene.
Such a large group of witnesses made the eunuchs in the palace who came to investigate the case unable to find any flaws. In addition, Eunuch Zheng is just a middle-level eunuch in the palace, and no one is willing to spend much energy on him, so the whole thing was soon left unresolved.
In the end, Ermao and more than ten friends of the same age took the carriage in the palace and left Yi County quietly. A man became a eunuch, which was a very shameful thing in ancient Chinese etiquette, so these children had no relatives to send them.
Only Xiao Letian hid on the city gate tower and stared at Ermao who was gradually moving away, sighing, "Is this right or wrong? Ermao will embark on an extremely dangerous road from now on. If you are not careful, you will be doomed..."
"Why did sir suddenly become a mother-in-law? Who among us is not on a road that is irreversible?" Xiao Hexin said quietly, "When the people are safe? Sir, don't make me laugh. In your book, you are vaguely instilling in the truth that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Even if you are irreversible, when the Great Revolution of Heaven and Earth is coming, these irreversible people will not escape the fate of irreversible..."
Oh! Yes? It seems that Xiao Hexin has put in a lot of effort on weekdays and has thoroughly studied his books. Xiao Letian is very pleased to update it as soon as possible. It seems that the Chinese people in the late Qing Dynasty have not been numb to death. As long as they manage the people's hearts and spirits well, they can still be used.
Xiao Hexin was the first group of personal soldiers sent to the military advisor, and they were the most influenced by Xiao Letian. Although Xiao Letian had not told them in detail about his big plan, these smart young people had already guessed it.
First, Xiao Letian used his private casting of Yingyang, and in addition to opening foreign acts to cover up money, he dug out a large piece of meat from the backward Qing Dynasty financial and tax system.
Secondly, officials who used a lot of money to start corrupting the foundation began to take over the grassroots organizations of the Qing Dynasty little by little from the county level, and quietly weaved a huge network for themselves.
Now, Xiao Letian has turned his attention to the special group of eunuchs through Ermao. I believe it doesn’t take much. With Xiao Letian’s financial resources, he will definitely be able to form his own intelligence organization in the imperial city.
Xiao Hexin and his personal guards have discussed the military advisor's big moves and big patterns more than once. They have long admired them and are promising to come up with such a chain of plans. If you have such a big hill in your heart, you will definitely be the stars in the sky. You can follow the military advisor to do it. You are sure to update it as soon as possible.
After Ermao's affairs subsided, Xiao Letian walked into his study and started writing behind closed doors. Now "The Journey to the West" is serialized to the rise of the British Industrial Revolution. This is the most critical part of the book. He will show the entire Qing Dynasty what the power of industry is.
Since 1767, the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign, the Jenny textile machine, known as the symbol of the British Industrial Revolution, was born. From that day on, the industrial giant began to show its power in the world. Until 1782, in the 47th year of Qianlong's reign, Watt invented the steam engine. At this point, the power of industry was unstoppable, and European civilization entered the fast lane.
Following closely behind were the huge changes in European society, railways, steam locomotives, factory chimneys, and Western factories produced industrial products with efficiency that the Qing Dynasty could not have imagined.
Relying on the power released by the Industrial Revolution, Britain officially began to colonize the world. At that time, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period of the world coming to worship and the world ruled.
The industrial revolution did not appear out of thin air. It needed a country and a nation to accumulate hundreds or even thousands of years in the field of natural sciences to ignite such a small spark.
Let’s look back at the Qing Dynasty. I don’t bother to see what the outside world looks like. I have never experienced the minimum geographical discovery, and I don’t even admit that the earth is round. More and faster chapters are invited. Even if the steam engine is invented by the Chinese, it will be smashed as a monster as soon as possible.
Having written this, Xiao Letian put down his pen, rubbed his sore wrists, and roamed back and forth in his study in anger. When he thought of the things that the Qing Dynasty and those corrupt scholars had done together, he became angry.
"Hu Niu... prepare wine for me at noon. I want to drink two drinks. I won't write anymore in the afternoon. I'll go to bed..." As Xiao Letian shouted like anger, a cheerful laughter penetrated into his ears. "Who is this making Brother Xiao angry? Is this going to drown his sorrow with alcohol?"
A graceful figure flashed in front of the window, and Xiao Letian was stunned at that time, "Isn't this Sister Hui? Why are you here in Yi County..." The person who came was Fuqing's sister Fuhui, with her signature-like hearty smile on her face.
"What's wrong? Not welcome? This is my home. Can't I, the master, come?" Fuhui smirked and teased Xiao Letian, causing him to scratch his head awkwardly. "How could it be, it's too late for Sister Hui to come and welcome me..."
Fuhui does have a little bit of unknown feelings for Xiao Letian. This woman who has experienced three failed marriages has been disappointed with most men in the Qing Dynasty. These superstitious men are afraid of their reputation for coveting their beauty.
Of course, Fuhui knew what the gossipers in Beijing were talking about behind their backs. They were nothing more than disgusting words such as the star of the demise and the husband. She had long been used to listening to them for so many years. Gradually, Fuhui's heart was ashamed and was ready to be lonely for the rest of her life.
But luck makes people feel bad. Just when she was completely desperate, a man broke into his life. Updated at the first time
Xiao Letian is very handsome. How could the little prince who picked up girls in Houhai back then be not handsome? Xiao Letian is also very talented. How could a man who was famous in Jinghua's book "The Story of the West" not have talent?
More importantly, Xiao Letian is a second-aggressive man who grew up overseas. He disdained the so-called secular rules. Just look at his attitude towards Hu Niu. He didn't dislike a Tianzu girl born to a concubine. This kind of "heavy taste" man was hard to find in the Qing Dynasty.
Maybe, what Fuhui said in his heart was that maybe something happened to him and the second ghost. Even Fuhui had a wild thought in his heart, "Come and conquer me, come and take me away, leave this Qing Dynasty, take me to the horizon, take me to every place you write in your book, and take me out of these terrifying worldly visions..."
Fuhui's eyes were so dangerous now. She looked at Xiao Letian outside the window with a dangerous smell. Electric current flashed from time to time in the air. Updated as soon as possible
How could Xiao Letian not understand Fuhui's eyes? His nickname for picking up girls in Houhai back then was not a waste of time. Women's eyes are good at speaking, some are resentful, some are straightforward, a little wild, and some are subtle... But among all the eyes, Fuhui's eyes are the most terrifying now.
This is a sign that a volcano has been suppressed for a long time and is about to erupt. If the dry firewood in this woman's heart is ignited, the consequences will be very terrible. Almost subconsciously, Xiao Letian seemed to want to escape, but he still held it out of politeness.
Just as the atmosphere in the study was getting more and more awkward, a sudden noise came from the front yard, "Wuwuwu... Miss, you suffer. Why didn't you take me with you that day? Then I will protect you even if I fight to the death..." This voice is so familiar. Isn't it the A Chou who has not seen for a long time? Please come for more and faster chapters.
While talking, Hu Niu and A Chou walked in from the front yard. At this time, Fuhui's face flashed, and she changed to a kind and solemn expression and said casually, "A Chou misses her lady and cries every day. Later, I heard that I was coming to Yi County, so I insisted on following me... Oh, by the way, here is a letter from my brother, I am here to deliver the letter today!"
After Xiao Letian took the letter with body temperature in Fuhui's hand, Fuhui's little finger accidentally stroked his palm, but her expression was not at all strange.
While several women were chattering to arrange a lunch banquet, Xiao Letian seized the time to read the letters sent by Fuqing. On the letter, Fuqing took them to Tanggu and Ningbo to conduct on-site inspection of the special zone and complained to Xiao Letian.
"All the expected things before leaving the capital have fallen out of nothing. The local obstruction force is extremely powerful. The most obvious of them is the people's spirit that the Qingliu arouses. This is our most headache..."
"The people can actually get our travel plans in advance. Local gentry encouraged the people to gather together to clamor. The mild ones knelt down and begged, and the severe ones even hit our team... All kinds of bizarre rumors are circulating among the people. Some say that the special zone wants to catch slaves and do hard work, while others say that foreign machines need to be sacrificed by boys and girls before they can start work..."
"The most widely circulated theory is Feng Shui. Even if you use a wall and an iron prison to encircle the special zone, the foolish people still believe that factories will destroy Feng Shui. It has been more than two months since they left Beijing, and they have been struggling every day and have been ten followers who can't stand this crime and have returned to Beijing halfway..."
"In order to avoid being harassed again, I will change the open investigation into the secret investigation. I went to Shanghai overnight, where foreigners gathered, and the people's spirit has been opened, and there may be gains. No matter how I will not let down the court's efforts, even if it is broken, I will turn into our Qing Dynasty's industrial special zone..."
The letters are written in blood, every word is tears, and the meaning of asking Xiao Letian to come out is very obvious. After reading this long letter, Xiao Letian had nothing to say except a bitter smile.
"We are so infatuated with the Qing Dynasty. You can use the word "we" with me. Now I want to kick down your corrupt and declining regime with one stone. Maybe the Chinese nation can protect some vitality, hey..."
