When Li Qiucheng saw Xu Dayong's expression, he knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he sighed deeply and said, "Mr. Xu, as the saying goes, "Don't slap people in the face," says that people do not expose their shortcomings. The ancestors said that there are three kinds of unfilial things, and that without a descendant is the greatest. If people inside and outsiders expose the shortcomings of our eunuchs on weekdays, we will scold him for not growing up by eating people. It is already very miserable for us to be a knife, and there are more other difficulties."

"Master Xu, since the former Ming Dynasty, most of the eunuchs in the palace have come from the Jingji generation of Zhili. Do you know why?"

Xu Dayong shook his head and thought to himself that I didn't know this.

Li Qiucheng took a sip of tea and continued, "Like my hometown, close to the Ziya River, the terrain is low and flooded for nine decades. When there is more rain in summer, the crops will be harvested. In our local dialect, toads will get water after urinating. Those who have the strength will go out to "find Qiu'er". Oh, they go out to do short-term work, and those who are older can only hang themselves. In addition, the villages are full of saline-alkali land, and they cannot grow anything. The countryside is suffering..."

Xu Dayong has traveled all over the years and has seen many poor people, and he has long since been hardened to have a hard heart. It is quite good to sell children and daughters. You should know that when the severe drought in Henan in the 50th year of Qianlong's reign, he encountered the slaughter of people.

The reason why he worked tirelessly for Beihai Town over the years was to remember what Zhao Xin said to him: "It is of great use. If the Qing Dynasty is overthrown, there will be no more things in the world to sell women and eat people."

However, Li Qiucheng fell for a long time to complain, and Xu Dayong understood the meaning. It was nothing more than that the eunuchs were all miserable people. When the people outside the palace looked at the scenery, they actually didn't earn much money. When the old masters were old, they would give up their shoes and give them a tael of silver to retire. Everyone tried their best to climb up for nothing else, just to avoid being bullied or making money.

Of course, eunuchs also seek spiritual sustenance by believing in Buddhism. Li Qiucheng meant a two-pronged approach, both spiritual and material, which would be better.

Regarding this phenomenon, Zhao Xin once specifically talked about it in a training course of the North Navy Intelligence Bureau, which is called the "overcompensation mechanism". It is nothing more than a person's physical defects and inferiority complex, as well as the shadows brought by his childhood family poverty, often through material means to satisfy his psychological needs and make up for his own defects.

Finally, Xu Dayi gritted his teeth and decided to agree to the other party's request. He got up first and went out to get 20,000 taels of silver notes for Guisheng. These silver notes were issued by the Chang family's money house in Yuci, and they were redeemable as soon as they saw the bill. By the way, the Chang family has a great business and has been secretly engaged in fur and ginseng business with Beihai Town in recent years. The silver notes have a great reputation.

Xu Dayong told Li Qiucheng that the remaining 30,000 taels of silver bills would be left in the palace and asked Manager Dong to get it in one month. As for the land deed, this was too urgent. It would take until Beihai Town to complete the procedures, and it would take two or three months to see it.

Li Qiucheng solemnly packed the bills and asked again before leaving: "Master Xu, can you give me a clear word, when will King Zhao send troops to pass the pass?"

"It's been a few years." Xu Da patted the other person's shoulder with a smile. This feeling made Li Qiucheng very helpful, and he confirmed again that the other person really didn't despise him.

After meeting two of the three, Xu Dayong felt much more relaxed, but he still warned himself not to be careless, because the last person was really important.

Two days later, three mule carts were parked on the moat between Chaoyangmen and Chongwenmen. One of them was an ordinary mule cart on the street, while the other two were chestnut shell paint-bottomed. The appearance of the tung oil and tung oil noodles was obviously not from ordinary people. Because it started to rain heavily in Beijing from the middle of the night and it never stopped, there were few pedestrians on the road, and those who came and went were trucks that pulled water and soy milk, wood, coal trucks, earth-burning trucks, and carrot transport trucks. They wanted to get into the city from Chongwenmen early.

In this way, the sound of rain covered the conversation in the car.

"Mr. Xu is really good at choosing a life." Liu Quan, who was sitting cross-legged, picked up the teacup and made a call to Xu Dayong opposite him. Although his face looked like he was smiling, his heart was constantly pounding.

Xu Da, who had just gotten on the bus, wiped the rainwater from his body with a towel, and took the opportunity to look around the furnishings in the car. He thought he really could enjoy it, and it was all about people's wealth and cream.

The mule cart looks wide from the outside, but it has a unique world inside. Yishui's tung wood paneling is as crystal clear as amber with lacquer tung oil. There are large glass sedan windows embedded on both sides, and blue tassels and velvet curtains hanging. Between Liu Quan and him was a small mahogany kang table, and under his butt was a soft silk cover, soft and loose like a thick mattress. On the table was a bright horse lantern, a pot of tea and four desserts.

He wiped the rainwater from his body, put the towel on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Mr. Liu has been awarded, it's just a coincidence. We adults often say that safety is the first priority when you go out."

Liu Quan laughed, thinking that the "safety first" is the most powerful thing. Who was the one who pretended to be a guard to go to Chaoyin Temple? If my master hadn't let him go, the grass on the grave would have been three feet high now.

He gradually lowered his smile, put the teacup back on the kang table, and said straight to the point: "Master Xu, I wonder what important things are you in such a hurry to see Liu? In order to see you, Lord Zhongtang asked me to come back from Rehe overnight. This old bone can't help but toss it. Besides, you can actually post a letter to my mansion in the middle of the night. I am really brave!"

Seven days ago, when Liu Quan's eldest son Liu Yin suddenly appeared in Rehe, he was anxious to report that a letter was thrown into the house on Xinghua Temple Street in the middle of the night. When he opened it, he found that it was someone from Beihai Town who asked to see Liu Quan, saying that there was something very important and agreed on time.

This news shocked Liu Quan and Heshen. At the beginning of June, Heshen clearly asked his younger brother Helin to send someone to Jeju Island to contact Beihai Town. Why did the Zhao, who was surnamed Zhao, bypass the contact person and come to the door directly?

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The master and servant thought for a long time, but were still confused. However, out of fear of Beihai Town and Zhao Xin, Heshen still asked Liu Quan to hurriedly return to the capital on the grounds that there was something at home.

Xu Dayong said with a smile: "Who do the Northern Navy need to worry about when doing things?"

Liu Quan almost cursed in anger after hearing this. Xinghua Temple Street was right by Shicha Beach, but it was under the imperial city, and there were so many eyes staring at it!

"Aren't you afraid that I will take you to the infantry commander's office?"

"Come on. Manager Liu, you have made a lot of money from Beihai Town over the years. Are you considered an affair and rebellion? Do you dare to take me? Do you believe that the Beihai Army will be able to enter Beijing within ten days?! Don't be foolish!"

Liu Quanxin said why this person is like a hob, even more scrambled than I was back then. Xu Dayong said again: "Xu is just an errand runner, you can't get angry with me. King Zhao has a life, let alone come to Beijing, I have to break into the dragon's and tiger's den!"

"Okay, okay," Liu Quan lost his temper. He, an old man who was 70 years old, couldn't compete with a clique. "What's the matter with me?"

Xu Dayong smiled and took out a letter from his arms. Unlike the letters he had previously given to Ruan Yuan and Li Qiucheng, the envelope was covered with a wax seal, and a seal with a five-pointed star pattern in the circle was covered.

Liu Quan looked at Xu Dayong with confusion and said, "This..."

"My sir just asked me to pass the letter to you. As for what is said in it, Xu doesn't know anything."

Liu Quan had no choice but to take the letter, break the wax seal, take out the letter paper and see it. It was three pages in total, with densely written on it. He lowered his head and took out a pair of tiles from a small bag on his belt and put them on, and then looked at the lantern. However, when he had only seen the light of the lantern for less than a minute, his face suddenly changed, and his hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble. After reading all the three-page letters, Liu Quan's face turned pale.

When Xu Dayong saw the other party's expression, he couldn't help but feel curious. He wanted to know what was written in the letter, which could scare the head of the government and the government to such a thing.

After reading it, Liu Quan was stunned for a while, then put the letter away and put it carefully in his arms like a treasure.

"Master Xu, let's do it today. It's raining outside, and I won't give you my old arms and legs."

Xu Dayong nodded, then bowed and said goodbye to get out of the car. Without taking an umbrella, he got on his mule cart a few steps and then headed east. His mission had been completed, and it would be useless to stay in the capital to delay it. So seeing that Liu Quan had already said goodbye to Manager Dong before, Gui Sheng and one of his subordinates had already gone to Tongzhou first, and the two agreed to meet at the Tongzhou Canal Wharf.

Liu Quan opened the glass window and watched Xu Dayong's mule cart disappear into the gurgling rain. The cool breeze stomped through the window with raindrops, blowing the opened curtains into a bulge, like deep sighs. Although it was already past Chen Zheng (eight o'clock), the sky became more and more gloomy, with bright flashes in the sky one by one, followed by a series of rolling thunder passing through the air.

Liu Yin got out of his car with an umbrella, walked to the window and asked, "Dad, let's go back?"

"No! Go back to Rehe immediately!"

"But this day, you have to wait until the rain stops before leaving?"

"What? My words don't work!"

Liu Quan said firmly, and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at his son. Liu Yin was so scared that he shrank and quickly sent his subordinates back to Xinghua Temple Street to give him instructions. After a stick of incense, two mule carts galloped along the road outside the city towards the Rehe River. The iron nail wheels of the big mushroom head rolled up mud and water on the muddy road.

In fact, it was not only Xu Dayong who was curious about the content of this letter. After Chen Qingsong heard about this incident from Zhao Xin, he was also curious about the reactions of the Qing Dynasty.

The two of them met in Heilongjiang City. Chen Qingsong brought his men to inspect the resettlement of immigrant villages around Heilongjiang City and the construction of farmland and water conservancy facilities. Zhao Xin returned from Outer Mongolia and took a boat from Boli to watch the road. He also inspected one by one from township to village. Not only immigrants, but even border residents of all ethnic groups had to chat with them for a while when they met him, so he walked very slowly.

"Do you think Heshen will listen to you?"

"Let them think about it! The three directions of the east, north and south are basically blocked by us. If the Qing Dynasty wants to escape, it can only go to Qinghai or Sichuan. With such a big invasion of Gurkha, Qinghai and Tibet dare to negotiate peace privately. In addition, those lamas and nobles are very chaotic, and Qianlong has always wanted to take action to rectify them. Isn't this a chance?"

Chen Qingsong nodded and said, "As far as this happens, how many years do you plan to let Qianlong survive?"

"Is it important to be an emperor who is surviving? After the Outer Mongolia Battle, I plan to let the four earliest regiments be discharged. There will be a lot of problems with insufficient cadres and insufficient workers." Zhao Xin began to chant Chen Qingsong one by one with his fingers.

"Urumqi and Yili need to be solved? We need to open a base in Jiaodong and introduce a large-scale population? Although Deng Fei and his team have made some progress, there are still too few Chinese in Batavia, and there are not enough people in Jinlan Bay, so we have to recruit people from the coast of Guangdong."

When Zhao Xin said this, his originally frowning brow suddenly spread and he smiled at Chen Qingsong: "By the way, there is another thing. Deng Fei sent me a telegram yesterday. Guess what? The French Governor of India sent a special envoy to Batavia to meet him, and wanted to ask us to help."

"what?"

"What's the name of the governor in their local governance? Oh, Camille Charles Leclerc, Leclerc, came up with some money to hire Thor and our people to go to France to rescue Louis XVI and the Queen."

"Puff!" Chen Qingsong didn't hold a sip of water and immediately sprayed it out. Fortunately, Zhao Xin was prepared in advance and quickly avoided it without any drop.

"Why are you looking for us? Can't they call them back by themselves?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Our ship is fast. I guess the local Frenchman who governed the country learned the news from Nguyen Phuc Ying." Zhao Xin continued after explaining: "I haven't finished it yet. The wife of the governor is also a noble family in her family and has been arrested now. I guess when Robespierre comes to power, they will all have to behead them."

That is, more than a month ago, a group of royal members of the Bourbon dynasty who had been under house arrest in the Duilary Palace escaped collectively late at night. Unexpectedly, Louis XVI not only did not hide his whereabouts along the way, but also got out of the car and chatted with the farmers many times. The guy thought he was deeply loved by his subjects, so he did it like the king went to the countryside to inspect.

Originally, Louis XVI was two hours later than his younger brother Earl of Provence when he escaped, but this guy was still delaying and procrastinating. When he arrived in Cheron in northern France, he was three hours later than originally planned. The cavalry that was originally scheduled to welcome the king outside the city was even more bizarre. They suspected that the king had not successfully escaped from Paris, so most of them evacuated. If it were Qianlong, all the heads would be beheaded.

Later, when Louis XVI and his family arrived in Varina, the local city council sent the National Guard to intercept it. The King and his family failed to escape and were escorted back to Paris.

In addition, Louis XVI did something very nonsense before he escaped, leaving a statement condemning the Constitutional Assembly for depriving diplomatic, military and local administrative power from the royal family, and declared that all the decrees he approved after June 23, 1789 were invalid.

Do you say that even if you want to issue a statement, you won’t wait to escape to Brussels before you say that? The result of his actions is equivalent to providing European countries with an excuse to send troops to intervene.

The French people, especially the citizens of Paris, felt the "successful trauma" of the king's escape, and the king would betray them. People such as George Danton and Mara began to think about establishing a social system without a king. At the same time, this incident also became the fuse for the king's family to lose their heads two years later.

Chen Qingsong stared at Zhao Xin for a while and said meaningfully: "You are ready to move again, aren't you? Don't go!"

"Go, why not? I'm still thinking about getting Louisiana, so I have to get a good relationship with Napoleon in advance."

I'll take a look! Chen Qingsong's eyes suddenly widened. He didn't expect that Zhao Xin was still thinking about the American continent. With his limited knowledge of world history, he remembered that Louisiana seemed to have been bought by the Americans from Napoleon, so he asked, "What is Napoleon doing now?"

Zhao Xin said: "Probably, I am almost a lieutenant colonel on Corsica, it's still early to appear!"

“How much does it cost for Americans to buy Louisiana?”

“12 million US dollars.”

"You are going to intercept the lord?"

"Well, I have this idea."

"You are planning to cheat the Americans to death!" Chen Qingsong flattened his mouth, but when he thought that the United States would only stick to the Atlantic Ocean in the future, he suddenly felt the comfort of "you have today too". He thought for a while and said, "Louis XVI, are you really planning to rescue him?"

"His son was only ten years old when he died," Zhao Xin shook his head, then nodded and said, "It depends on the situation, I haven't thought about it for the time being."

Chen Qingsong put away his smile and said to Zhao Xin with a serious face: "I advise you to think about it before making a decision and interfere in France. Maybe the entire European history will be messed up."
