Just as San Ye was having a headache, Zai Chun had a headache. Mother had been bothering him for an hour and a half already!

”My son... Think about it carefully, the character and appearance of the Fuche is top-notch, how can the Mother lie to you? Furthermore, his father, Feng Xiu, has been in the Department of Revenue for many years.

”Ouch …” My dear mother, can we talk about this later? How many taels of silver were there in the Ministry of Revenue's purse? It's already empty, and you're still claiming to be popular? ”

”Child, how can you speak? How did the Ministry of Revenue manage all the money and grain in the world, and end up empty-handed? I did spend some silver in the war a few years ago, but haven't I saved up all of it in the past few years? ”

”Ouch …” A surplus of ten million yuan a year was still a treasure? What would this amount of money do? ”Too many monks and too few porridge …”

”You …” Ci Xi was so angry that he was at a loss for words, ”Did you see any rich people in Europe? Even 10 million is not enough to enter your eyes? ”

With that, Ci Xi's face changed. He waved his hand and the palace maids and eunuchs down, and the only people left in the hall were the two of them!

”My son... To be honest with the Mother, it is rumored that you have obtained the money from the British, is there such a thing? ”

Zai Chun's face became strange. A little bit more... ”Why do you ask?”

”Child, your mother asked and yet you didn't answer? Aren't the two of them one? What am I supposed to do with you? How much is it? ”

”Don't ask, there isn't much silver …” It's just that we have to return some of the military support given to our son by the royal family! ”

”There still needs to be a number!” Wu wu wu … I really doted on you for nothing, you want to hide with your mother? ”You crawled out from my intestines, and you didn't even speak a single word of truth …”

Ci Xi's upper body was truly full of tricks, his tears came as soon as they were mentioned, falling unceasingly with a ”pi li pa la” sound!

Zai Chun let her torture him to death with his hundred claws, his heart was anxious and confused, ”Enough, enough …” Mother, don't cry, 6 million … The British have given me six million dollars in non-profit support, which was given to me by the royal family! ”

”Piss off!” You still dare to lie to me? ” Ci Xi reached out and pinched Zai Chun's ear, ”Do you think I is an idiot? The Ministry of Revenue has a surplus of more than ten million a year, and you think it's nothing but six million in your hands? ”

”Pain …” It hurts, it hurts … Mother, stop pulling … To tell the truth, it was fifteen million … ”I really am not lying, that Englishman is not an idiot, she wouldn't give me so much money for nothing!”

”Hiss …” Ci Xi drew in a breath of cold air, ”Fifteen million silver? I just gave it to you, kid? ”

Historically, Zuo Zongtang had spent a total of 20 million silver taels to clear Xinjiang, but the Beiyang that Li Hongzhang had created had cost 30 million silver taels!

Now, Tongzhi himself actually had fifteen million silver taels as military support. This caused Ci Xi to be shocked.

”Child! Why do the English give you so much money? Tell the truth Mother, what exactly is going on here? ”

Seeing that Zai Chun was so submissive that he didn't speak, Ci Xi was so angry that he stretched out his devil hands to pinch his ears.

”Don't... Mother, don't pinch me, I said, okay? ”

”This money is not for nothing. It was lent to me by the British without interest... I signed a secret contract when I was borrowing money! ”

”Within ten years … I have to open up Great Qing's railway construction plan... The British want to invest in the construction of our Great Qing's railways! ”

”You!” Ci Xi's face changed drastically. He raised his hand to slap his son, but in the end, he did not.

”Are you going crazy? Do you know what the hell the railroad is? It will disturb the earth, it will disturb the ancestral tombs! You are trying to destroy the feng shui of my Great Qing! ”

”No, absolutely not …” No matter what, we can't build a railway, otherwise even the gods and ghosts wouldn't be able to calm down! ”
