    Lu Hong had always deliberately kept a distance from the fat old man Huang Zuluo from Shanghai Daotai, because the old man appeared to be too tactful and worldly. Even Qin Tianmin, who was often sent to contact him, was quite wary of this guy when discussing it in private.  However, now there is no serious conflict between the two parties, and there is even the prospect of huge cooperation in industrial interests. Therefore, the relationship is quite familiar. When asked who the distinguished guest is today, the staff member who came here actually said:  Chou Yinmao comes without being tall.  However, since Huang Zuluo sent someone to invite him so solemnly, Lu Hong would not miss the opportunity to contact people. He immediately took Qin Tianmin to Huangdaotai's mansion. The scene here still surprised him. He stopped at the door  There were various official sedans, and even specially decorated carriages like those of foreign consulates!  Lu Hong was secretly surprised, thinking that the person Huang Zuluo entertained today did indeed seem to have a good background. However, he definitely couldn't figure out any clues. Anyway, he would know it after entering, so he didn't think much about it But  As soon as he entered the door, he met several officials from Songjiang Prefecture. They naturally recognized the popular man in front of the imperial envoy, and they all came up to get close to him.  After Lu Hong said a few polite words, he also asked casually, "Guys, which master is hosting the Zodiac Stage today?" "Master Lu, it turns out you don't know" A clerk next to him hurriedly came up to flatter him, "Good morning.  A few days ago, Mr. Xue, the minister to Britain, France, Italy and Belgium, just returned to China. Because of the old relationship between Huang Daotai and Mr. Xue, he was able to invite this big shot! " Minister of the four countries a name immediately flashed in Lu Hong's mind,  This suddenly made his heart move, and suddenly he remembered something. Lu Hong frowned, and hurriedly walked into the mansion with cupped hands in front of several officials!  Qin Tianmin, who was next to him, came over with a surprised expression at this moment and asked: "Brother Lu, Mr. Xue Fucheng is a famous figure before the Li Zhongtang case. When he returns to China, he is very likely to supervise a big shot Do you know him earlier?"  This Master Xue?" Lu Hong looked at the strange expression on this guy's face and shook his head firmly. He had emerged from the shadowy and bare mountain. How could he have known this Xue Fucheng before?  He is a pioneer who opened his eyes to see the world and was praised by later generations as the enlightener of Chinese capitalism. However, there is definitely no intersection between the two.  "Brother Qin, how do I know Mr. Xue I am also wondering why Mr. Xue wants to see me?" Lu Hong definitely gave up the idea of ??Qin Tianmin preparing to take a new path, but now he was more anxious to confirm.  It's another thing!  After turning two arches, a maid had already come out to greet him. Huang Zuluo's mansion was really not small. After walking for a while, he arrived at a spacious attic in the backyard, only to see that a large number of people from Songjiang Mansion and Shanghai Mansion were already waiting here.  County officials and Huang Zuluo's confidant Master Li greeted Lu Hong with a smile on his face.  "Master Lu, you are here. Several adults are talking in the house. Please come in quickly!" Master Li politely led the way, but he blocked him unceremoniously between Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin. Naturally, this meaning was very clear.  .  Lu Hong nodded towards Qin Tianmin, raised his legs and walked into the attic. In this attic surrounded by water on three sides, none of the people sitting there were wearing official robes. However, the fat old man Huang Zuluo, who always paid great attention to his figure, was standing sideways and very polite at the moment.  He was chatting with a man in his fifties with slightly gray hair who was sitting across from him, while the officials below were all listening in a submissive manner and did not dare to interrupt at all.  Seeing Lu Hong come in, Huang Zuluo laughed, stood up and walked over. With a very familiar look, he pulled Lu Hong to the fat old man and said, "Master Lu, come and see our minister from the four countries."  "Xue Fucheng, Lord Xue!" Lu Hong raised his eyes and looked at Xue Fucheng, and met his sharp gaze. He smiled slightly, raised his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, Lu Hong, pays homage to Lord Xue. I heard that you are working with the British for the benefit of our country."  I really admire the great powers for their mediation in the West, and the establishment of our consulate in the British territory has benefited a large number of overseas Chinese people!" Huang Zuluo next to him obviously didn't expect that Lu Hong would show up as soon as they met!  Being able to flatter such a high-profile person, I couldn't help but cast a meaningful side glance at him, with a rather amusing look on his face. Xue Fucheng was obviously a very sophisticated person in the city. The reason why he wanted to meet Lu Hong was actually because of his previous relationship with him.  Huang Zuluo talked about the silk reeling factory.  Xue Fucheng frowned and suddenly coughed softly. A maid next to him immediately brought hot tea. He cleared his throat again and then stopped coughing. However, his face turned an abnormal red color and he paused.  Then he waved his hand, "Lu Dushi, I heard that you have been studying in Thailand and the West for many years, and it seems that you have learned a lot. I wonder if the silk reeling machine made by your machine factory can be as efficient as the machines provided by foreign merchants?  ?" Huang Zuluo invested in setting up a silk reeling factory, so he naturally regarded it as his enthusiasm for foreign affairs and used it as a talking point with Xue Fucheng. However, Fatty Huang said a few words?The key question was asked by Xue Fucheng. Although Western reeling machines have been around for a long time now, even Japan across the sea has actually introduced a large number of British single-strand and multi-strand reeling machines. However, because of its traditional  The silk industry in China has always been very strong, and the government-run industry focuses mostly on cotton yarn spinning, so there is no large-scale silk reeling factory industry. After careful inquiry, I learned that the silk reeling machine came from this Ludu official.  The machine factory made it by itself, which greatly surprised Xue Fucheng, who was also enthusiastic about Westernization.  Lu Hong's earlier thorough investigation into the corruption of two senior officers of the Nanyang Navy also made him very interested in this popular figure in front of Wang Renkan. In view of his close relationship with Lu Hong in his industry, Huang Zuluo will not be able to do anything in the future.  Maybe Lu Hong would be of great use to him, so he followed the trend and introduced him However, Lu Hong's performance still exceeded his expectations.  Lu Hong raised his eyes and looked at Xue Fucheng, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Master Xue, what you are talking about should be British and American single-strand and multi-strand reeling machines. I studied it when I was in Thailand  However, that thing can only be described in three words - stupid, big, and thick. This machine is produced by the silk reeling factory. It is exquisite and easy to repair, cheap and conducive to production. If the domestic raw silk industry can be integrated, it will be  There is a lot to be done!¡± Xue Fucheng looked quite strange when he heard Lu Hong¡¯s evaluation of Western silk reeling machines. During his tenure as minister to the four countries, he visited the machine reeling machines in France and Italy. Regarding Western machines, Lu  Hong's "silly and thick" evaluation is really apt In fact, this is largely due to the shrinkage of the local silk reeling industry and the inability to update more advanced reeling machines. Since 1985,  The industry in France, a major European silk manufacturer, has shrunk sharply, and the industry has rapidly transferred to the United States.  Of course, Lu Hong had never seen the British silk reeling machine of this era, but the super industrial system was a drawing that incorporated the experience of later generations. After seeing it, he was full of praise for the exquisite design of some of the components.  Coupled with the high efficiency shown in the trial operation, he was really confident when he said this.  Xue Fucheng was slightly surprised, and naturally had the idea of ????visiting the silk reeling factory. However, when he returned to China this time, he had already drafted "seeking new methods to become rich and powerful, selecting talented people to serve as common people, and building machines to make them more powerful."  "Manufacturing" and other 21 policies for the new law, he was planning to make suggestions to the court immediately after returning to China. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to China, he saw that there was already a factory in Shanghai that could make advanced machines. At that moment, he was very interested and beckoned Lu Hong.  We sat down and chatted while eating, constantly bringing up various topics that he saw in Europe to Lu Hong To Xue Fucheng's complete surprise, this young imperial envoy staff actually revealed the qualities that made him almost  The ambassador who can be called a European expert in this era was also surprised to see that from the European monarchy, to the diplomatic disputes between Germany, France, and Britain and Germany, to European education, law, and even the prosperous finance in London, as long as Xue Fucheng talked about it,  Lu Hong must be able to cite some good conclusions. Unknowingly, Huang Zuluo and the others were the audience for an hour. While Lu Hong was talking, his expression became more and more anxious.  .
