Chapter 9 Rescue Zhejiang Governor

In fact, everyone knows that Zuo Zongtang came back to clean up the mess this time.

After a pause, Mei Qizhao said to Hu Chuyuan, "I heard that Chu Yuan has been an official at Lord Zhongtang. I don't know if you have any inside information to inform me, so that I can prepare for it!"

Hu Chuyuan said, "It's not a big deal, but I heard that your sea pond is well repaired, but all the materials are good stones, and you have spent money to do a great thing that is beneficial to Hangzhou!"

Mei Qizhao looked embarrassed and said, "This is the will of the court. I just listen to the order and do things. There is no other way. Chu Yuan, you must make it clear to Lord Zhongtang that although this official is not within the unification of the two rivers, if Lord Zhongtang needs the assistance of this official in the government affairs of the two rivers, it must be incumbent on me. In addition, the matter of the sea pond has gradually come to an end and can be completed by the end of the year. In this way, Zhejiang has more taxes, which can be transferred to the sergeants in Xinjiang Province one after another according to the original intention of the court.

Hu Chuyuan thought for a thought. This man had been to Rongdongyuan three times. I'm afraid he had said all the good things he could say. He was still so worried, which showed that Zuo Zongtang still did not forgive him.

Maybe Zuo Zongtang doesn't blame him, but he just has to click on him.

Otherwise, if something similar happens in the future, won't everyone have the courage to put small shoes on Zuo Zongtang, so how can he handle big things in the court in the future?

Sacrifice you for the sake of the whole of China, this has always been the voice of many big shots!

Hu Chuyuan thought about it carefully and said, "Your Excellency, in this case, who has to say this in the position of governor of Zhejiang now? Do you have to do this?"

"This...!" Mei Qizhao seems to have an epiphany.

I felt that Hu Chuyuan might have been sent by Zuo Zongtang to hit him. Mei Qizhao thought for a moment and asked, "Chu Yuan, do you have any other words?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "Lord Zhongtang didn't tell me about you. I'm just watching the situation. I think your situation is not good, but you have done such a good thing for our Zhejiang people, and you are a rare good official. I really can't bear it. Although I don't have much ability, if the adult wants to tell me something, I will try my best to help!"

"This...!"

In an instant, Mei Qizhao was a little disappointed and happy. Suddenly, he felt that he had not offended Zuo Zongtang for nothing. At least the people in Zhejiang saw his sincerity.

As an official, benefit one party.

He thought so and did so. Although he also knew that he had been used by Xia Tongshan, he was willing. At least Xia Tongshan gave him an opportunity to benefit the people of Zhejiang.

After a long silence, Mei Qizhao smiled happily and said, "Chu Yuan, I am satisfied to hear your words. I don't care too much about where to transfer in the future."

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Why are you so depressed? Among other things, the people of Zhejiang need you very much, and I also need you very much."

"Oh?"

Mei Qizhao asked curiously, "How do you say this?"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you and I are all mortals. It's better to work hard for others than to connect and work hard for yourself!"

"Ah... good poetry, good poetry, it's in the bottom of my heart!" Mei Qizhao praised the crooked poem and said, "Chu Yuan, I also want to talk to you. In the imperial court, the battle of Zuo Li, the battle of Xianghuai, the battle between ancient and modern times, the battle between China and foreign, and the battle of Qingliu region are as numerous as cattle, like countless whirlpools. You and I are just two small canoes. If you are not careful, you will destroy the ship and die. Now the only plan is to follow the example of Prime Minister Cao, unite all the boats together, and all of them are chained, otherwise how can they withstand the storm?

Mei Qizhao is a governor, a second-grade member of the imperial court, and a feudal party. What is Hu Chuyuan?

Hu Chuyuan's only advantage is that he is rich, and he is very... very rich.

At this moment, only Hu Chuyuan can save Mei Qizhao. Mei Qizhao is very clear in his heart - in fact, he used to dislike Hu Xueyan very much and always felt that Hu Xueyan was a anniper.

If he had joined hands with the anniper earlier, where would it be today?

Hu Chuyuan had to sigh: "It's true. But when we are here, we must take a stand in the dispute between Zuo Li and the dispute between Xianghuai. Now that we have made a stand, we can no longer worry about it. Suo and Li Huai will fight against each other. As for the struggle between ancient and modern times, the struggle between China and foreign countries is just a struggle between conservative, Qingliu and foreign affairs. I have another opinion on this point, and we don't have to make a statement. Civil affairs should be handled, and foreign affairs should also be handled, and achievements must be made.

Mei Qizhao was secretly surprised, thinking that Hu Chuyuan was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he saw the current struggle of the court so clearly. It was really not simple.

After a little thought, he said, "Yes, at present, we can only commit ourselves to the power of Xiang Li. Regardless of civil affairs and foreign affairs, we will do whatever is beneficial to the people. As for the regional dispute, we might as well turn it into a big one. If it is beneficial, it will be close, and if it is not beneficial, it will be far away!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, in fact, I also have some ideas about civil affairs and foreign affairs. I think that most of the foreign affairs are still prodigal, but they have to be done, but it depends on how to benefit the country more than lose money.

He and Zuo Zongtang didn't say these words, but they chatted with Mei Qizhao and said it by the way.

"Ah...!" Mei Qizhao exclaimed and said, "Chu Yuan, you and I are exactly the same. I feel the same way. It's just that the factions in the court are fighting with each other. I have the intention to achieve a great cause, but I have the heart but not enough strength."

Hu Chuyuan quietly raised his eyebrows and said with an evil smile, "I'll help you!"

He had heard something before that Li Hongzhang wanted to set up a Shanghai Merchants Shipping Bureau in Shanghai. Most of the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang disagreed, believing that they would pay the same special compensation as the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and also use the taxes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fill it up. In the end, only Shen Baozhen, the governor of Liangjiang, and Mei Qizhao, the governor of Zhejiang, agreed to prepare for the construction.

Mei Qizhao said that if it is a family plan, this matter will be stopped. If it is a national plan, this matter will be handled.

In the political situation of the late Qing Dynasty, there were few people who could say such a thing, and most of them could be promoted to the governor of a place, but he was lost in Zuo Li's infighting.
