Li Hongzhang pondered, without the imperial edict of the two empress dowagers, what is the difference between doing so and betraying the court?

The cute president certainly understood Li Hongzhang's concerns: "Don't worry, Lord Zhongtang, I will do it clean. I asked the black market merchants to resell the grain to your designated black market merchants. Others will definitely not see any flaws and will not leave any handles. If you build roads, you can attack Beijing under the banner of convenience, not killing two birds with one stone?"

"Attack Beijing City?" Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Is there anyone attacking like this? "Yuemeng, are you joking? Am I building a railway? Where did I get the materials?"

The cute president smiled and said, "I have it. If you agree, I can arrange a defeat and put the materials and engineering personnel in the military camp. If you rob the camp, will you have everything? How about it?"

Li Hongzhang was speechless, which was what Xuan Yuemeng thought about. What wasn’t this a hidden bell? “Isn’t it right? Yuemeng, are you all fools in the world?”

"Master Zhongtang, people are definitely not fools. No one in the world is a fool, but there are many benefits to doing this. First, no matter whether the two empress dowagers will finally agree to my solution, you can stabilize the morale of the army! Because you have won a battle and I have not pursued it, you can also use it to enhance your personal reputation. I need you to stabilize the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty. "The cute president smiled and said, "Secondly, I also need Master Zhongtang to set an example and tell those who want to do the right thing with my Chinese army that you have to support you, and whether the Qing court is present or not, it will not affect the relationship between us. Even if the two empress dowagers finally agree to my plan and the re-repair between China and Qing Dynasty will definitely not affect your head."

After hearing the cute CEO's plan, Li Hongzhang shook his head like a rattle, "Yuemeng, no, it's a pity that you thought of such a ridiculous thing. You might as well line up the army to defeat me and capture all my people."

The cute CEO laughed, "Mr. Zhongtang was joking. I said that he would not fight again, especially if Master Zhongtang did not provoke first, I would not take the lead in using force against the Huai Army of Zhongtang. Master Zhongtang, don't rush to reject me first, think about it first. It's just a road construction. What are your losses? The army is idle and idle, and you can also expand it. At this time, expanding the army can play a role in stabilizing the people's hearts in the entire Qing Dynasty."

Li Hongzhang pondered and smiled bitterly, "Yuemeng, you are really doing everything you need to do, thinking about my Qing Dynasty everywhere. Okay, I'll think about it for a few days."

The cute president smiled and shook his head, "You can't delay it. Just think about it today. This matter has been considered for too long and there is no need. Even if you do what I said, you have not betrayed the Qing court and did not affect your principles. Mentor, you must know that no matter whether you come to help me in the future, I am paving the way for you. I can tell the people below me that you have helped China before!"

Li Hongzhang looked at Xuan Yuemeng. Judging from the current situation, it was only a matter of time before China ruled the whole country without major accidents. Xuan Yuemeng was not wrong. Now that he could do something for China secretly, he would indeed leave a way out. Otherwise, even if Xuan Yuemeng wanted to protect himself as the emperor, he had to have an explanation.

"Can you tell Zuo Zongtang about this matter?" Li Hongzhang asked.

The cute CEO laughed. Li Hongzhang was already moved by asking this question, "It's better not to do it. I don't care. I'm thinking about the Lord Zhongtang, and Zuo Zongtang will definitely not agree. If one more person knows, will our plan go bankrupt early?"

Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "Okay! Don't think about it, I agree."

The cute CEO stood up with a smile, "Thank you very much for Zhongtang."

Li Hongzhang smiled and shook his head, "I should thank you. It's you who think about me. I understand, I'm not confused."

"No, Master Zhongtang is a top talent, whether in the Qing Dynasty or the entire China. I have never doubted this. If it were the early Han Dynasty, you would be Zhang Liang." The cute president smiled.

"I can't afford this." Li Hongzhang laughed after taking the cute CEO's flattery. "Then I'll leave today."

The cute president nodded and said, "Okay, after Lord Zhongtang is ready, please send a letter to the Hua Military Administration Department in Datong, and they will withdraw their troops. I will ask you to prepare the materials for the first phase of the railway construction as soon as possible."

Li Hongzhang sighed, "I kept saying that I wanted to build a railway, but I didn't expect that the first one was your railway."

The cute president smiled and said, "There is another thing I forgot to say, if the railway is built, Shanxi will belong to you for the time being, and Zuo Zongtang will have no way to rush it."

"You, since you dare to build the railway for me, how long can I stay in Shanxi? It's not the same as giving it to you." Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and left the cute president's presidential suite.

"Did he really agree?" Princess Katrina Kaif walked out of the inner room and sat next to the cute president. "President, how do you know that Li Hongzhang would agree?"

"I don't know fortune telling, so I just suggest it. However, I know that Li Hongzhang's character does not harm his own interests and can ease relationships. Li Hongzhang has always done things, otherwise he would not have climbed so quickly and was so valued in the Qing court. He is very good at being a human being. Unfortunately, a person like Li Hongzhang is not the talent that I need in China." The cute president held Princess Katrina Kaifu's hand.

The cute CEO is right. Although he admires Li Hongzhang and admires Li Hongzhang's talent, he does not need a person like Li Hongzhang. China is a state machine generated according to the will of the cute CEO. This machine does not require parts like Li Hongzhang, no matter how capable you are.

The reason why the cute president can confirm in advance that Li Hongzhang would soften his attitude is based on his understanding of Li Hongzhang. Even if Li Hongzhang cannot immediately surrender to China, at least he will leave a way out for himself. This is Li Hongzhang's character personality.

"I got the coal mine in Shanxi and the railways can be used to process the industry." Princess Katrina Kaif said happily, "It is the president's strategy that is the most correct."

The cute president smiled faintly. He was not very interested in land occupation, mainly because of the cute president's system. The cute president is not a society. If it is a society, the more people and the vaster the land, the happier he is. The cute president is a set of capital markets.

The capital market is still based on money as its core. The capital market is a market where governments, enterprises and individuals raise long-term funds, including long-term lending markets and long-term securities markets. In long-term lending, it is generally consumer credit provided by banks to individuals; in long-term securities markets, it is mainly stock markets and long-term bond markets.

The trading object in the capital market is long-term securities with more than one year. Because in long-term financial activities, the funds involve long term, high risks, and relatively stable long-term income, similar to capital investment, it is called the capital market.

One of the three components of the financial market, a market for long-term capital transactions. Long-term capital refers to the company's debt and shareholder equity used for fixed asset investment after one year. It is in sharp contrast with the funds market that adjusts the government, companies or financial institutions that have insufficient funds.

The cute CEO’s point is money. If it weren’t for connecting the north and south as soon as possible, he wouldn’t be very interested in Shandong, Anhui, and northern Jiangsu.

If the cute CEO really needs a senior official from the Qing court to come to China, the cute CEO needs someone like Guo Songtao.

Guo Songtao was two years older than the grandfather of the cute president, Xuan Zonglu. His nickname was Linger, and his scientific name was Xianqi, and later changed his name to Songtao. His courtesy name was Yunxian, his pseudonym Yunxian, and his nickname was Yunxuan, and his nickname was Yuchi Shannong, Yuchi Laoren, and from the western part of Xiangyin City, Hunan. An official in the late Qing Dynasty and one of the founders of the Hunan Army.

He was a Jinshi in the 27th year of Daoguang, and served Zeng Guofan's mate in the fourth year of Xianfeng to the sixth year of Xianfeng. In the first year of Tongzhi, he was appointed as Susong Grain Storage Road and was transferred to the Yanhe River. In the second year of Tongzhi, he served as the governor of Guangdong, and was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown in the fifth year of Tongzhi. He taught at Changsha Chengnan Academy and Sixian Lecture House.

In the first year of Guangxu, he was recommended by the Minister of Military Affairs Wen Xiang to enter the Zongli Yamen.

During this period, the cute president needed someone like Guo Songtao to join him to demonstrate the political success of China, but this is not easy to do. (To be continued.)
