Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Xiao Ran said calmly: "Long Live Lord, please tell me: the joint-stock company that the servant mentioned is just a name of a joint stock company, and someone is hired to fill the vat. Just imagine the establishment of a company, and let others do all the publicity. Lord Long Live is just dispatching in the middle and manipulating behind the scenes. In the future, if the company is well managed, the profits will be shared, and after three to five years, it will be justified to slowly take the company into your own hands? If it fails, one All the crimes should be blamed on him, and even if the ministers and elders have the words to impeach, they will not fall to you. In this way, the Long Live Lord will not be at ease?"

"Rational, reasonable!" Xianfeng was overjoyed, patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and said, "You are such a slave, you can come up with such an idea! It's probably taught to you by that fairy in the dream again? Well, it should be In this way, it is very much in line with my wishes!"

Excited for a while, he kept turning his gun on the ground, then stopped suddenly, tilted his head and thought for a long time, and said: "But where can I find this partner?"

"This one is difficult!" Xiao Ran wanted to catch him, "Imagine that this person must be very business-minded, preferably with some business experience; and be brave in innovation, and most importantly, he must be absolutely loyal to the emperor. If something happens, he would rather If you lose your head, you have to take on the responsibility of the emperor, so you can do it!"

As a result, Xianfeng frowned again: "But where can I find such a person? Look at my group of ministers, are they single-minded? Leaving aside for the time being, the whole day's price is nothing but martial arts. The Ministry of Internal Affairs counts, and when it comes to asking me for money, it stretches its hands longer than anyone else, and when it comes to making money, one counts, and which one is the material for doing business!"

Xiao Ran deliberately embarrassed and said: "It's hard to talk about this slave. This is a first-class matter, and you have to make up your own mind, Long Live Lord."

"This... who is it?..." Xianfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes fell on Xiao Ran, "Hey, we are both confused! There are excellent candidates, who should we pick? !"

"Ah?" Xiao Ran tried his best to hide the ecstasy in his heart, pretended to be scared, and said with a mournful face: "Long Live Lord, you, you are not saying you are a slave to me?"

"It's you, it's up to you!" Xianfeng rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes and nose squeezed together, "Look, your beauty salon is very impressive; this novel idea is the best you can think of. Come out. Besides, you supervised the army on my behalf and rescued him desperately. As a slave, you can do this, and you can do errands for me wholeheartedly. When it comes to loyalty to me, even the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, who can match it? Pass you? Haha, it's you!"

"But Long Live, if those ministers and elders impeach me, slaves, slaves, wouldn't they..."

"What are you afraid of? I'll support you in everything! At worst, I'll let you stay by my side. Don't worry, as long as you work hard and focus on doing errands for me, I will never treat you badly. "Having said that, Xianfeng also knew that this matter was related to the blood sea after all, and he felt a little guilty.After pondering for a while, he said: "Well, how about this, all the principal of the investment will come from me, and I will give you [-]% of the dry stock for nothing, so that you can save some property for your family. What do you think?"

Xiao Ran said with a more bitter face: "Long live, slave, slave..."

"Okay, that's it!" Xianfeng waved his big hand, thinking that he would run away from you, and I'm going to decide on you today, see if you dare to say no!Xiao Ran was about to cry on his face, but in his heart he wished to kowtow to him a hundred or eighty times in one go.

Money, the white money is about to fly into the pocket!Gritting his teeth desperately, Xiao Ran said to himself: Restraint, must be restrained!

Xianfeng scratched his head and said: "Even if the company's affairs are settled, our company must have a name after all, right?"

Xiao Ran said: "I beg for the imperial treasure."

Xianfeng thought for a long time, and suddenly came to inspiration, and said: "Yes! My name is Tongdao Hall Master, and your name is Xiao Ran. If you take one word from each other, it is called 'Tongrantang Sexual Health Care Co., Ltd.'. This can explain our Monarchs and ministers are of the same mind, and master and servant work together, but it is not good!"

Originally from Qianlong's "Five Dynasties, Five Blessings and Five Virtue Halls", the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, like literati and refined scholars, liked to take the name of a study as an alias.Jiaqing is "Jidetang", Daoguang is "Shendetang", and Emperor Xianfeng's nickname is "Tongdaotang".As for the famous "Tongdaotang" seal given to Concubine Yi when Emperor Xianfeng died in history, it was named after this.

Xiao Ran sighed, thinking that damn I didn't choose this name well.If it's called Xiao Ren, wouldn't it be "Tongrentang"?Or change the name to Xiao Zhi, and the whole thing will become the "Comrade Hall", then the name will really last forever.

Xianfeng was not satisfied with this name, and he was so happy about it.Immediately ordered Xiao Ran to finalize the company's charter and plans, and started preparations today.Xiao Ran took the order to retreat, and as soon as he reached the door, Xianfeng stopped him: "Little Sanzi, I can tell you that the [-]% of the shares given to you is just a temporary measure. If this company really It's done, after three years, I will take back all the shares, understand?"

"Sister, how dare a servant be greedy and look forward to Sichuan?" Xiao Ran resigned and walked out of the East Nuan Pavilion, feeling refreshed and indescribably happy, he couldn't help but want to howl at the sky.Take it back in three years, haha!Xianfeng, if you can live for three years, my buddies will admire you.After a year or a half, you'll die. At that time, will this Tongran hall be named your Aixinjueluo, or Xiao?

♂ Volume 4 Rehe Fengyun ♀

→Chapter 032 - Sushun's conspiracy←

Waiting anxiously until the third day, He Laoliu returned to Chengde with a foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes.This foreigner was called Rolto, who was originally a famous pharmacist in London, England. Because of a crime in his own country, he was exiled to Tianjin, China, and practiced medicine in the streets.That was seven years ago, not long after the first Opium War ended, the Chinese hated foreigners so much that they would often be beaten violently for no reason when they walked on the street.I couldn't stay any longer, so I ran to Beijing, but I didn't expect that the people here are not used to steamed stuffed buns, and beat them much harder than Tianjin people.He didn't dare to go to the consulate to seek asylum. He was being beaten and punched in the Dongmen building that day. Dai Tong happened to pass by. Seeing that he was carrying a medicine box, he could be regarded as a technical talent after all, so he took him in for a while out of kindness. .

From then on, Rolto began to practice medicine in Beijing, but few people believed in Western medicine at that time. When he took out the knife and scissors, he was about to disembowel him. just run.So this gangster is very miserable, and often can't eat enough.But Dai Tong is also a poor man, and he is in rags, let alone take out money to help him.

So when He Laoliu threw down a 100 tael silver note, Rolto wanted to knelt down and kowtowed to him ten or eight times, packed up the medicine box, and the set of experiments and home fires for dispensing medicine. Just followed without saying anything.After seeing Xiao Ran's narration, because he seldom communicates with people, he still can't speak Chinese well after coming here for more than seven years.Fortunately, Xiao Ran's English could barely handle it.

I thought that everything was ready and only owed Dongfeng, but I didn't expect to encounter trouble.

Western medicine and Chinese medicine have completely different pharmacology.Most traditional Chinese medicines are made of natural ingredients, but western medicines need to go through repeated experiments, preparations, purifications, and clinical tests. It takes a long process to develop a new medicine, and it will not be OK overnight.And there is still a lack of many professional equipment for chemical experiments, including some basic chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, ether, etc., and there is nowhere to buy them for a while.

Xiao Ran obviously ignored this point, but after listening to Rolto's chattering words, he also knew that he was too impatient.He couldn't think of any other way, so he could only hand over the prescription to him, and set up a special room for him to experiment silently.As for the equipment and raw materials needed, He Laoliu had to go back to the capital again, and asked Dai Tong to find a way.This old guy is now a member of the Ministry of Industry, and there should be no problem with his connections.

By the way, he also asked He Laoliu to pick up the rain.I don't know how the beauty salon is doing now. When I turn back to start a health care product company, I have to figure it out with my brother-in-law.Besides, Yu Ting and her siblings haven't seen each other for a while, so it happened to be a chance for them to meet and flatter them.

He Laoliu took orders to go, but Xueyao stood up relentlessly, saying that the foreign devil was too ugly, if he stayed in the mansion, he would have nightmares when he slept at night.It happened that Rorto heard this again, and his nose turned red with anger. If he didn't see her as a beautiful woman, he would have to fight her no matter what.Xiao Ran couldn't help comforting him, and sent that guy far away to the third courtyard in the southwest corner, and told him not to come out to threaten others when he was free, and he would be fined if he violated it.

After finishing all this, Xiao Ran felt a little bored, put on his casual clothes, and took Ma Chao for a stroll on the street.It was really a coincidence that he was walking in front of a big house on the South Street, and a green woolen sedan chair rushed beside him, and was directly carried into the house.When entering the door, the car curtain was lifted, revealing half of his face, he quickly glanced around, after entering, the two vermilion lacquered doors were immediately closed.

At this time, Xiao Ran was being shadowed by the stone lion at the door, that person didn't notice him, but he saw him clearly.Suddenly it was like a lightning strike, and Leng stood there unable to move.It turned out that the person in the sedan chair was not someone else, but Deputy Du Tong Sheng Bao!

When Xianfeng transferred to Chengde, Shengbao stayed in the capital to help defend.Because his troops scattered and fled, Xianfeng specially ordered him to temporarily assist in the management of the three battalions of the forward battalion, guard battalion, and infantry battalion of the Eight Banners Army, with a total of more than 3000 soldiers and horses.Since it was stationed in the capital, it was absolutely impossible to come to Chengde without an imperial decree. According to the law at that time, this was a serious crime of treason, and it was punishable by beheading and killing the nine clans.Xiao Ran once suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, and he was stunned for a long time before he woke up.

This house is not too big, but it is very grand, there is no hanging on the lintel, and it is unknown whose mansion it is.Walking around in a circle back and forth, I ran into a neighbor nearby, and I couldn't help being shocked when I inquired: It turned out that no one else lived in this mansion, it was Iron Hat Zhongtang, Minister of Military Aircraft Sushun!

As a result, all the hairs on Xiao Ran's body immediately stood at attention, and the cold sweat dripped off his forehead.The reason why Sushun did everything possible to bring Xianfeng to Chengde was undoubtedly to coerce the emperor to order the princes.At this time, Shengbao was suddenly found here, what exactly did he want to do?Is it possible to attack Xianfeng now?

This is definitely not a good sign, there must be something big about to happen.At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Xiao Ran wandered far away for a long time, but he still didn't see the sedan chair coming out, guessing that Sheng Bao should be having a secret talk with Sushun.Immediately, I called Ma Chao and asked him to sneak in and check it out while it was dark, to see if he could gain anything.

Ma Chao also practiced martial arts since he was a child. He practiced the northern school Tan legs, and his feet are quite good.He turned the blue-lined padded robe upside down, tightened his belt, and flung himself up from the side wall, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

About half an hour later, the door of the house opened suddenly, and the small sedan chair was still carried by two people, they walked out quickly, turned the corner of the street and disappeared.Xiao Ran didn't dare to follow, and waited patiently for a while, only to see Ma Chao slipping down the wall again.

Xiao Ran quickly pulled him aside and said, "What, what did you find?"

By the light at the corner of the street, Ma Chao could see that his face was blue from the cold, his lips were trembling, and he said, "There are guards in this house, I didn't dare to go forward, I could only touch the roof and climb for a long time, I didn't hear anything. Later, when the guards were changing shifts, I managed to sneak under the eaves. I poked through the window paper and saw a fat old man and a middle-aged man with a mustache. There was a bandage around his neck."

Xiao Ran said: "By the way, the old man is Sushun, and the middle-aged man is Shengbao. What did they say?"

Ma Chao said: "The voice is too low, I can't hear clearly. I only heard that Shengbao said about Beishang, King Qin, and Qing Dynasty's side. By the way, Zeng Guofan was also mentioned. Later, I only heard that old man Sushun's voice was a little higher , Saying that it is better to act first, if he is in a hurry, we will do whatever. Later, Shengbao left, and I didn't dare to stay longer, so I slipped out."

What does it mean?Xiao Ran frowned, puzzled.

Zeng Guofan's Hunan army has just conquered Anqing, so is it possible that they are going to lead their troops to serve the king?Although it was Sushun who protected him back then, it has never been heard that this Duke Wenzheng had meddled in the affairs of Rehe.If Sushun really wants to transfer him to King Qin this time, then what is Shengbao's intention in coming this time?

With the current situation, no matter whether it is public or private, Sushun cannot be allowed to come up with any conspiracy, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with.Now the only person who can compete with Sushun is probably the mysterious "Master".Xiao Ran knew that the key now was to send this news out, but the mysterious connector did not appear for a long time.Although Xiao Ran had faintly guessed the real identity of that "Master", he couldn't just run up to him and say "I know you are the mysterious person, I'm here to send you information", right?

A gust of biting cold wind blew in front of him, Xiao Ran's expression froze, and his messy mind cleared up a lot.Just thinking about whether he should go to the emperor to find out what he said, he hurried back home with Ma Chao.Not far away, I suddenly heard someone from across the street yelling in a low voice: "Ha, I met a nobleman when I went out, and I can meet you, brother here!"

Xiao Ran trembled in fright, turned his head and saw that it was Xun Jing and Lan Qingzhuo.Xun Jing strode over, grabbed Xiao Ran's hand, and said like a cannonball: "People say that meeting by chance is worse than meeting each other, right? Today, my brother and I just wanted to have a drink, and we ran into you It's a perfect fate, isn't it? Brother, if you shirk it, it's too unreasonable, isn't it?"

Xiao Ran asked him to say "Is that right?" angrily and funny, and said: "Brother, I'm really not feeling well today, so I came out for a walk to get some air. Brother Xun, please forgive me this time. "

Where is Xun Jing willing to let go.Lan Qingzhuo also came over and said: "We just eat, drink and chat casually. Brother Xiao, if you feel bored, we can also relieve you, right? If you don't go, Lao Xun really can't think about it, go back Why don't you vent your anger on his little wives?"

Hearing what he said, Xiao Ran couldn't refuse.Opposite the street happened to be a restaurant called Lao Mingxiang, Xun Jing couldn't help but coax and drag him into it.The three asked for a private room, but Ma Chao had no rank and could only guard outside the door.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lan Qingzhuo suddenly said: "Actually, this afternoon, I specially sent someone to your house to invite you here, but it's a pity that you are not here. Coincidentally, we met at night, so we can see Our fate is really speculative."

Xiao Ran was startled, and stammered: "Which house? I, I don't have any house!"

Xun Jing smiled and punched him, and said: "Brother, you don't want to be particular! You have built such a big house in Yangliu Lane, and you didn't even ask us buddies to congratulate you. That's all, what's the matter?" Do you want to hide it from us brothers?"

Xiao Ran was tongue-tied, and after glancing at Lan Qingzhuo, he felt chills on his back.To talk about this matter, Xun Jing is definitely not that capable. Only this Lan Jijiu is really not easy, and his every move can't escape his eyes!So today's drink, is it really as simple as a "coincidence"?

In fact, although the signboard of Xiao Mansion was hung on that house, Xiao Ran ordered it to be picked up early the next morning.After all, he still can't show his face.As for the purchase of this house, Baolu was in charge of it from the beginning to the end, and when he left the palace, he was dressed in casual clothes, so he should not be recognized by others.I haven't shown myself this matter before, so how did I let them know?

What Xiao Ran was most worried about was the emperor's cheating.If this stubble is thrown out, it will be a crime of beheading.Looking at Lan Qingzhuo's face, it was calm as if nothing had happened.But if it was said that he didn't know anything about it, Xiao Ran couldn't believe it no matter what.

At the moment, I could only laugh and put the matter aside, but fortunately, neither of them asked.Lan Qingzhuo suddenly cupped his hands to Xun Jing, and said: "Don't be surprised, old Xun, can you allow me to have a few words with Brother Xiao alone?"

Although Xun Jing was older than him, he had always been respectful to him, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay. Old Xun, I just want convenience, let's chat." Saying this, he got up and went out.Xiao Ran knew that this was a serious matter, and his heart began to jump.

Lan Qingzhuo leaned close to Xiao Ran's ear, and said in a low voice: "There is going to be a big incident in the capital, and the situation is not good now. My brother is following the emperor, so you have to think about yourself."
