The sound of firecrackers shocked the world. During the Chinese New Year, there were firecrackers everywhere. In this area, there were only the Zhao family chanting the scriptures of monks and monks and ensembles of various musical instruments. Although they could not stop the spirit for forty-nine days, they always had to make up for fourteen days.

Zhao Guanhou had a day socializing for a day, but when it was late at night, he couldn't stand it and tilted his head to sleep. Su Hanzhi quietly came to the inner house and sat next to her husband. He felt more and more uneasy in his heart. He always felt that he owed him more and more.

Mrs. Jason came very frequently and even gave her a check of 10,000 Folang, which was almost 3,000 taels of silver, which could be regarded as a big deal. Especially at this funeral, for the sake of show off, the money was very helpful.

But seeing her always wandering around her husband for nothing, Su Hanzhi felt a little sad. Since the two had business dealings, they were afraid of having important matters to discuss, so they did not dare to interfere in such matters, so they could only look at the two silently and talk in Cape language that they couldn't understand.

Sai Jinhua, known as the second master of Sai, is very good at socializing and favors. The guests are dealt with very well and everyone is willing to talk to her. It is said that having such a person to manage the funeral is a blessing for the master. But when she looked at Zhao Guanhou's eyes and the brothers, she was so charming that she was so charming that even Su Hanzhi was dull, she could understand that this friendship was definitely not a sworn brother.

Finally, the funeral date came to an end. The funeral was the first in Tianjin, and even the famous tycoons were just like this. Of course, the money spent was also shocking. The Su family was born in a poor family and did not have a so-called ancestral tomb. Fortunately, the Meng family came forward and bought a piece of land for them, which was another sum of money.

When the next day dawn, when Zhao Guanhou finally sat down to settle the score, Su Hanzhi looked at him with some guilt, "Guanhou, this time, we almost emptied our family's foundation. It's all...you are all for me..."

Zhao Guanhou put down his abacus and gently pulled her to sit beside him, "What are you saying? I was in Xiaoshaofang and had no overnight food at home, and you never disliked me. No matter how difficult it is now, is it more difficult than that time? It's always a matter of spending money to relieve your heartache. As long as you feel comfortable, it doesn't matter how much you spend. Besides, when you get filial piety, you can take the manuscript to the newspaper, and you still have income."

"But that little money is not enough for the servants. Otherwise, we will fire all the servants, sell the house, and move them back."]

"Don't be stupid, that's embarrassing. Those people will not make you laugh at. Besides, our livelihood is not that difficult. Don't we have a few calligraphy and paintings in our hands? It's enough to sell them. I have already asked Mrs. Jason to send the paintings to the auction house in Hong Kong to see how much they can be sold. Although I don't understand very well, Yuanfeng has always been cautious in collecting them and will not collect fake items casually. Besides, at least one of them was made by the former Song Dynasty royal family before the southbound transition, and it is very valuable. I will wait a few days later and I will discuss a big business with Mrs. Jason. The second brother of the Big Head Gang, we can also make some of them."

When Su Hanzhi heard him mention Mrs. Jason again, he felt even more miserable, but he still pretended to be indifferent, sat beside him and talked about gossip with him. Until this time, there was a hint of warmth of the New Year in Zhao's house.

When the fifteenth time came, Zhao Guanhou's fals were full and he needed to go back to the camp to listen. On the train, Mrs. Jason sat down with him, naturally slapped his arm, and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Hey, this feels great, I always feel that this is like our honeymoon trip. Is that country villa good?"

"Prince Yuan's eldest wife lived there before, at least safe enough. Of course, you don't have to worry about any security issues. After all, you are as brave as an Amazon female warrior. But I think you don't need to accompany me to the military camp. Once I get there, I will be busy with military affairs and have no time to come out to accompany you."

"No, you're talking too early." Mrs. Jason smiled hurriedly, "Would you like to make a bet with me? In a short period of time, the focus is to accompany me, not your troops. Believe me, I do this to save time. Your Lord Yuan will not rush to ask you to lead the troops, but to rush to let you accompany me."

In Xinnong Town, in Yuan Weiting's entrustment room, Han Rong sat in the middle, while Yuan Weiting and Xu Juren were accompanying each other on both sides. Because of the Tianjin refugee rebellion that occurred before the New Year, Wang Wenzhao handed over the seal and took over it after the New Year.

Wang Wenzhao himself was still old and highly meritorious. In addition, he was in Baoding, so this matter did not have much to do with him. He did not give up any punishment. He was just transferred to the position of Minister of Military Affairs and no longer led the Beiyang. Han Rong was eliminated in advance and became the leader of the Great Jin Dynasty's border minister.

In the officialdom of Tianjin, a turmoil was inevitable. The imperial court had issued an order, and the military commander Xu Haoran, the magistrate of Tianjin, served as the military commander, and the supervisor of Pang Jinbiao was dismissed from office. The former Zhili governor was demoted to five levels in a row. However, because of the proper handling and the dispatch of troops to protect the concession, he was not punished.

Cape, Albion, Prussia and even Belgium, negotiated with the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom needed to resolve the matter. Fortunately, the Jin soldiers performed much more friendly this time than the lesson plan. The foreigners also knew that the refugees were not instigated by the Jin soldiers, nor were they favored by the Jin soldiers. In terms of tone, the conflicts were more eased than in the past. However, it was related to the foreigners. No matter how they eased, everyone dared not take it lightly.

Han Rong had originally walked to the leader of the Xinjiang minister and was still in the position of military minister. It was a very proud thing, but he was in such a mess and felt extremely complicated. He looked at the two of them and sighed, "Rong'an, Bu Wu, I am a little envious of Xie's old now. I don't think his inaudible problem is a bad thing. Because he can't hear, he can't do Western affairs and he doesn't have to deal with foreigners. With such a shady blame, I have to take it up. Do you guys tell me, how should I solve this problem?"

"The Great Marshal, foreigners are always savage, and if they suffer a small loss, they will ask for compensation. This time, people died and were humiliated, so it would not be so simple. Fortunately, in prison, we arrested hundreds of refugees and punished the murderers, so we would not have any difficulties. As for the others... Weiting always leads troops without any reason, and he has to bear the Great Marshal's heavy trust, so please punish him."

"What's the use of saying this now?" Han Rong stopped Yuan Weiting. "What we want to think about now is to cure the aftermath. I'm here this time to borrow the general from you. It's not that he is here, so this negotiation is easier?"

"The new generals and officers all obey the orders of the generals, so why not talk about borrowing words? But I wonder who is the general you are trying to order?"

"Zhao Guanhou!"

"The language barriers in the Westernization Affairs Bureau are a big shortcoming. After the intermediary interpretation, they always feel like they are scratching their feet. Often, they are subject to the translation, and one or two villains can hold officials hostage. This is really a misleading country and the people. This time, Marshal Han won the title of the Marquis because of your proficiency in foreign literature. I hope you can take on the heavy burden and contribute to the country."

As soon as Zhao Guanhou arrived at Yingpan, he received the order of generals. He was immediately received by Yuan Weiting alone and told him about Han Rong's lent to him.

"I also know that this burden is not easy to bear. Although the court has a translation bookstore and a synergy museum, there are not many people who are willing to take on the burden and do professional work. Everyone knows the reason, success or failure will be a failure. If the words are too heavy, it will cause diplomatic disputes and you have to bear the blame yourself. If the words are too light and the things are not done, Shangguan still has to blame it, so no one is willing to go through this mess. If everyone is your own people, if you don't want to do this job, I will help you push it."

"Brother-in-law, everyone is my own. You are willing to protect me, but I can't make it difficult for me to make things difficult for Marshal Han to speak out. Things are not so easy to stop. I went with him this time, and it didn't matter. But I don't understand that with Marshal Han's authority, it's impossible to order generals from Tongwenguan. Besides, there is also the general offices for affairs of various countries, so why bother to find someone from our new army?"

Yuan Weiting smiled and looked at Zhao Guanhou, "I'm going to ask yourself. When Zhang Hefei was in charge of the Westernization Affairs Bureau, there was a decision, which was to use the barbarians to control the barbarians, so that the barbarians could not cooperate and plot against me. This time, Marshal Han also learned the old wisdom of Zhang Hefei. He used Mrs. Jiansen to mediate from it so that several foreigners would not join forces to attack. In terms of friendship, I am afraid that you and that lady have the strongest friendship. If you ask you to be the translator, you will have more beautiful words in front of her."

Zhao Guanhou was embarrassed, but unexpectedly, he sacrificed himself as a friend not long ago, and this time he had to sacrifice himself to save the country. It seems that Mrs. Jason must have heard some news, so she had to make this bet with her. This foreign woman is very sensible and must make some preparations.

Yuan Weiting said again: "Now Long live the empress dowager, but this happened at the beginning of the year. Long live the face was really unlucky. So, Marshal Han came out this time and had something to say. Foreigners paid compensation for losses at the price, but no additional compensation was allowed! However, foreigners have always been barbaric and did not pay compensation. How should this matter be resolved? Marshal Han pointed out your generals and relied on you to make peace."

After Emperor Tianyou's wedding, the empress dowager nominally removed the curtain, but although the curtains were removed, the curtains remained. Whenever there was an important matter, the empress dowager had to be asked to discipline the government before he could make the decision. Often, the empress dowager decided could overturn the emperor's decision and issue it in the form of a red mark of the emperor. The nominal edict was just the empress dowager's imperial edict.

Even after Goryeo fought, the power of the later power became more and the emperor's power declined. The emperor was about to become old and was in a strong life, so how could he be willing to obey orders? This time he first took full control of the full power, and he wanted to have a different role and be proud.

The emperor had no good feelings for Han Rong, and there was a rumor that Lotus Liulang was there. Moreover, the emperor's teacher Weng Fangtian hated Han Rong for a long time. With such a teacher, the disciples would not have any favors for him, and they would not like this person to seize military power and control Beiyang. After seizing this opportunity, he also deliberately made things difficult for him.

Therefore, the court issued a death order to Han Rong, and it was feasible to provide pensions for the dead and injured, but if there was an additional compensation, he would have to take away his top clothes. The leader of Qingliu in the court, the emperor's teacher Weng Fangtian, also firmly supported the emperor, and his attitude was as tough as before the Goryeo War, and he firmly believed that the Qu was not with me and the money could not be compensated.

Once the compensation is agreed, the refugee chaos will become the emperor's responsibility. If this continues, foreigners can claim compensation at will. It is difficult for China to lose money, and this precedent must not be set.

But the problem is that this incident did cause casualties and injuries to foreigners. If you think about it, you may be very sad to pass this level without additional compensation. Moreover, since the Jin Dynasty's defeat in Goryeo, it was a consensus of ministers. Yuan Weiting's move to lead troops to rescue the concession was the first to have any objection to even censors in the court, because of this move, prevented foreign soldiers from coming ashore.

But if there is no compensation, Han Rong will not be able to take the blame even if the war is incurred. The two major players are hard to be married. He chose Zhao Guanhou, because he was looking for his special relationship with Mrs. Jason, and also because he knew that he was proficient in foreign literature and good at Western socializing.

Han Rong borrowed generals, but it was not without a report. First, a large number of people in the defense camp were to be eliminated, and the military pay was paid according to the original staffing, and Yuan Weiting could eat this part of the empty pay; secondly, because the incident started, because the victims had no food, and the matter involved the Zhili government, and Han Rong had written a copy to impeach.

In the officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are few bosses who participate in subordinates. After the Zhili administration was opened, Yuan Weiting protected the seal and did not really eliminate others. In this way, it would be equivalent to retrieving obstacles for Yuan Weiting to be promoted to the Foreign Affairs Office in the future. In addition, it would be allowed to recruit soldiers from the Wuwei Right Army from refugees to expand its strength, which would also be a great supplementary report.

Yuan Weiting got the benefits himself and also compensated Zhao Guanhou. He rewarded 1,000 taels of silver notes and specifically instructed: "Mrs. Jiansen mediated this matter and worked hard. This silver is just to buy her happy. You must know that whether it is the emperor or the ministers, the allocation of the second road payment is very important. You must treat this woman perfunctorily, so that there must be no more trouble on the road payment."

"Good, of course I'm happy. This is our kingdom. No one disturbs me, and everything is listened to us. I just said that you will spend more time with me than with your troops. Lord Yuan, you are such a smart person. I like this gift very much."

In the small courtyard where Shen Jinying once lived, Zhao Guanhou had just played a song "One Step Away" and danced a passionate tango with Mrs. Jason. It was indeed like a couple on a honeymoon. This place is not easy to prepare foreign meals, such as waffles, and no one knows how to make them. However, Mrs. Jason was not picky about her diet, but instead she ate Chinese food with Zhao Guanhou.

Zhao Guanhou learned from the lessons from last time and did not rush to mention negotiations. He thought that it was right to prevent foreigners from colluding with me. But betting on a woman would be a waste of rashness. Han Rong might not really expect Mrs. Jason to make the consuls of the two countries give up the claim. He was mostly trying to play tricks. He first borrowed a debt from Mrs. Jason, paid the compensation without hiding the court, and then found a way to transfer the money to fill the hole.

Among the officials in the Jin Dynasty, there were not one or two people who used this method, but this required the cooperation of foreigners, otherwise it would be difficult to succeed. The conditions offered by foreigners are often harsh. Although Mrs. Jason was his own pillow, it might not be much better. Therefore, in this negotiation, he still wanted to stand up and try to convince the two consuls to do the best things.

Seeing Jane Sen as happy as a little girl, Zhao Guanhou muttered in his heart: This foreign woman would be a good thing if she hadn't thought of being a legitimate wife. Now, she had a headache. But she still had a smile on her face, talking about his ideas while having a meal.
