Chapter 99 He Jing is back

By the beginning of September, a clear news finally came from the capital.

Under the insistence of Zuo Zongtang, Shen Baozhen, He Jing, Wan Qinglin and others, the Qing court made an adjustment to its coastal defense policy. The Nanyang navy was transferred to Guangzhou to replace the existing Guangdong navy, which was supervised by Zhang Shusheng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The imperial court increased the annual naval defense military expenses to 4.5 million taels, 1.5 million taels to the Fujian navy and the Yangtze River navy, and 3 million taels to the Beiyang navy and the Nanyang navy.

As for how to use these military expenses and how to divide them, it is up to the Governor of Zhili and the Governor of Liangjiang.

Although the reason is unknown, the Qing court's plan to directly control a main sailor went bankrupt, and it continued to follow the old tactics of balancing the Xianghuai series.

For Shen Baozhen, He Jing and Hu Chuyuan, there is another piece of good news. The Qing court approved Shen Baozhen's memorial and agreed to transfer the Fujian navy to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. The Fuzhou Ship Administration Office was responsible for co-organizer, and also agreed to the political reform and economic reform plan of the Fuzhou Ship Administration Office - there is only one restriction, that is, Fuzhou Ship Administration Office. The door is not allowed to manufacture ships, and self-interest is not allowed.

Shortly after the official document was issued, He Jing finished his post and returned to Fuzhou.

It is estimated that He Jing returned with a lot of urgent matters to deal with. Hu Chuyuan specially waited for two days before asking Hu Rong to take a gift to the government of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

The Yamen, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is in Wan'anjing, Cangshan, and the general shop of CITIC Qianzhuang in Fuzhou is in the south back street. By the way, Hu Chuyuan went to the general shop of Fuzhou first and pulled out 666 gold bars prepared in advance, each weighing ten taels, which is equivalent to 66,600 taels of silver.

There is not much money, and the courtesy is not heavy, but it is a real benefit. It is eye-catching everywhere.

With this real gift, Hu Chuyuan officially went to the government of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

It happened to be noon. When he arrived outside the government, He Qigong was greeting him at the door.

Just like Shen Baozhen, who handled the ship administration in Fuzhou in those years, because it was the period of Ding You, Hu Chuyuan could only take a white sedan chair, which was still easy to identify. Officials of Wupin and below had to avoid his sedan chair first.

When the sedan chair stopped in the hall of the government office, Hu Chuyuan lifted the curtain and walked out. When he saw He Qigong, he hugged his fist and smiled, "C Cousin, how have you been recently?"

He Qigong also arched his hand and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, it's very good. My uncle and aunt are waiting for you. Come in quickly.

Hu Chuyuan hummed and let Hu Rong and his entourage continue to carry all kinds of boxes of gifts into the government office.

Long ago, there was a yamen who went in to report. Before Hu Chuyuan entered the main hall, He Jing came forward in the official uniform of a second-class member. He smiled with Hu Chuyuan and said, "My virtuous nephew, you let me, my uncle, wait for a long time. I thought you would come yesterday!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and replied, "I thought that the governor must have a lot of business to deal with urgently, so I only waited for two days. When I came to see my uncle and aunt for the first time, I didn't dare to neglect it at all.

"Hmm!"

He Jing nodded slightly, feeling that Hu Chuyuan was still very thoughtful.

Because it will be a family in the future, He Jing followed the situation and introduced his wife out. After a polite look, they went back to the flower hall for dinner together.

Hu Chuyuan's aunt is also a gorgeous lady in a hundred. She is tall, charming and full of jewels. It seems that he is only about 30 years old, with a melon seed face and green eyebrows.

Looking at her appearance, Hu Chuyuan believes that the eldest daughter married by the third brother will not be much worse.

Of course, several daughters can't come out to see people. Even He Jing's wife has to avoid the table. Only He Jing, Hu Chuyuan and He Yougong are on the table.

As soon as they drank two cups, the door was suddenly pushed open. A thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl hurried in, innocent, but with a smart and interesting charm. The crescent face, the skin was white and soft, the eyes were big, and her eyes were as clear as a spring, both clever and beautiful.

She entered the flower hall of the government office and giggled and said, "Dad, I want to see my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law has to give me a gift."

Hearing this, He Jing's face darkened half, but he was reluctant to blame him.

He put his chopsticks and said, "Xiao Mei, don't be mistaken in the future. This is your eldest sister's mother-in-law's eldest brother. You have to call him brother, not brother-in-law!"

He really wanted Hu Chuyuan to be his son-in-law. Unfortunately, Hu Chuyuan was so desperate that he had no choice but to choose the third brother of the Hu family. Up to now, he doesn't know the specific character and talent, but no matter how excellent he is, he must be far worse than Hu Chuyuan!

Speaking of this, his old tears flowed into his stomach and he regretted it.

"Oh!" The girl couldn't help but be a little disappointed and asked, "Is there any gift money?"

"You child...!" He Jing wanted to stamp his feet in a hurry, thinking that the tutor failed and failed. How could he only recognize money?

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Sister Mei, I really don't have any money with me. Here is an emerald jade pendant. Do you want it?"

With this, he took off a dark green, red, yellow jade pendant on his belt and gave it to this sister named He Xiaomei. He vaguely remembered that Zuo Zongtang wanted to recommend this person.

Shit, he shivered when he thought of this. How big is it? A group of old beasts are really patient.

This is clearly the Lori in Lori.

He Xiaomei was not polite at all. She happily held the jade pendant in her hand and pulled it tightly. She smiled and said, "My mother said that the foam you spit out on your body is all gold. This jade pendant must be a good thing!"

I'm dizzy!

Hu Chuyuan was speechless for a while and thought, what kind of tutor is this?

Failure... He Jing also thumped in his heart, thinking that this teaching is too failed!

He Xiaomei, no matter what their adults are calculating, she will run away when she gets good things, and she will disappear as soon as she slips.

He Jing got up in a hurry and arched his hand with Hu Chuyuan and said, "Don't mind, virtuous nephew. My uncle has been busy with official business all year round and has not been able to strictly discipline my little daughter."

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "It's also good. It's cute!"

He Jing smiled and didn't say anything more.

When the luncheon was over, He Jing asked Hu Chuyuan to go to the study to talk about business.

Entering the study and closing the door, He Jing asked Hu Chuyuan with a smile, "Xian nephew, you are a smart person. Guess why the court gave up direct control of the sailor again?"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "I've been thinking about this for several days, but I really didn't guess it!"

He Jing snorted and said, "That's not easy. Shen Baozhen and I jointly recommended Ronglu to be the Admiral of Beiyang Marine Division... Haha, Li Hefei's tail was exposed!"

So...!

Hu Chuyuan sighed in his heart, and he finally understood.

He Jing and Shen Baozhen deliberately retreated and gave Man the opportunity to control the Beiyang Marine Division, but how could Li Hongzhang agree?

What kind of person is Li Hongzhang... He speaks better than he sings, and he sings better than he does.

On the surface, he has always been echoing Prince Gong Yi
