Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Lu Yu returned to the capital from Guangxi and was warmly welcomed by the people in the provinces along the way.

It took thirteen days to go, but two months to come back. There were various banquets and speeches along the way. Whether it was the parliament, the society, or other organizations, almost everyone wanted to take this opportunity to compete with the most powerful force in China in the future. The important congressman has some connections.

If Lu Yu hadn't been worried that the ruling lord would wait too long in Beijing, he would have wanted to tour around the two capitals and thirteen provinces before going back!
Finally, in February of the seventh year of the Chinese Era, Lu Yu returned to Beijing after nine months of expedition to Annan.

The Great Council sent Wang Shou and Sun Chuanting to welcome Lu Yu back to Beijing.

Ten miles out of the city, there was a grand ceremony - it can be said that in order to welcome Lu Yu back to Beijing, the parliament gave him the greatest courtesy.

After all, it took half a year to completely destroy a country of thousands of times, and at the same time, Annan, which had been drifting overseas for many years, was regained the Chinese territory. It also took half a year to initially establish the Chinese political system. For China, which had just been established for only seven years, It can be regarded as the first great victory in foreign politics and war.

Great congratulations!
Not only did the parliament come out to greet them, the ceremony was grand, but the society also sent its own hot air balloon team, and at the same time, the newly opened train from Beijing to Tianjin was named "Lu Yu" to highlight its achievements!
In addition, in the name of congratulations, business alliances and various non-governmental organizations in Beijing established a student aid foundation and a refugee relief association in Lu Yu's name to show their merit.

Moreover, the Sihai Business Daily and the Di Daily in the capital simultaneously published a declaration on the front page, welcoming Lu Yu back to the capital and listing his various achievements since taking office as a member of the House of Representatives, which was a great way to build momentum.

Along the way, Lu Yu, who was sitting in the sedan, looked at the people crowding the imperial street and the colored silk that almost covered the entire Chang'an Street, and felt a little uneasy for a while.

He lifted himself up in such a big way, and the higher he lifted himself, the harder he fell when the time came!
"Master Lu, the reception banquet prepared for you will be in three days. You can rest for the next few days."

Lu Yu's sedan arrived directly at the mansion.

"Is the ruling lord here?" Lu Yu grabbed Sun Chuanting, who turned to leave.

Sun Chuanting looked at Lu Yu, grinned and said, "Yes."

"Okay, I understand, thank you very much," Lu Yu nodded, then held up her hands to show that she understood.

"Lord Lu is going to visit the Consul?" Sun Chuanting seemed to have seen what Lu Yu was thinking and said with a smile: "The Consul said that if Lu Yu comes back, just let him have a good rest and there is no need to go to the consul again." Officials don’t care about such trivial matters.”

"This is no small matter!" Lu Yu shook her head, then turned to the servant on the side and ordered: "Get your horses ready and go to the Consulate!"

The ruling yamen and study room.

"Sir, Lu Yu has come to see you," the attendant stood at the door and reported to Wang Qihui.

Wang Qi, who was looking down at the book, did not raise his head: "When did you arrive?"

"I arrived in Beijing an hour ago. I arrived at the Yamen of my mansion half a quarter of an hour ago. I didn't stop behind the yamen. I came directly to visit you. I took two attendants with me and stood in front of the door," the attendant lowered his head and replied.

"He Lu Yu is too cautious," Wang Qi flattened the book, straightened up and moved his hands and feet a little.

"Then, do you want to let him in?" the attendant asked softly.

"Tell him to come directly to the study to see me," Wang Qi picked up the tea cup and drank the cold tea in one gulp. Not long after, the tired Lu Yu bowed and walked into the study.

"Your Majesty, Lu Yu, pays homage to the Consul!" Lu Yu clasped her hands together and bowed to Wang Qi behind the desk.

"What's the matter with coming to see me in such a hurry?" Wang Qi closed the book and looked at Lu Yu, who was standing there with a tired look on his face: "I haven't changed my clothes, and I haven't washed my face."

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I just arrived in Beijing. I want to report to you, sir." Lu Yu licked her lips. She was still a little nervous after not seeing him for such a long time.

No matter what, Wang Qi's oppressive feeling was too strong at any time.

Wang Qi looked at Lu Yu for a long time, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "You, Lu Yu, are a bit too cautious."

"It's good to be more cautious when doing things outside. And when you come back, if you don't report to the adults, you always feel that something is missing and have trouble sleeping and eating." Lu Yu didn't dare to sit down, just hunched over.

"Sit down," Wang Qi pressed his hand: "Returning hero, why are you still so restrained?"

"Thank you, sir." Lu Yu took a step back and sat on the chair: "Even though I have some small merits, I still rely on all the officers and soldiers, as well as the ruling adults. Lower officials must not dare to take credit."

After the attendant served Lu Yu tea, he withdrew.

In the study, the two people were left sitting alone.

Wang Qi looked at Lu Yu, as if he could see his inner thoughts, and said: "Li Qingsong explained to me the Annan matter in his letter. The situation there is special and some special means can be used. I have always supported special measures." It's a special matter, just finish it well. It's just a pity for Xiong Tingbi."

"My subordinate understands," Lu Yu nodded in panic, and then added: "Master Xiong, I heard that he has already arranged for pensions and posthumous gifts."

"Xiong Tingbi has been acquainted with me since Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi has always acted prudently. This time he was killed in Annan. It also alerted the parliament that in future expeditions or overseas operations, we must do a good job in advance investigation." Wang Qi stood up and sat next to Lu Yu, leaning back on the chair in a very casual manner, which made Lu Yu subconsciously relax.

"During this period, a lot of things happened in the parliament," Wang Qi put his hands on his lower abdomen and said with a smile: "The entire northern region has completed the second general election. The south will be a little slower and will be completed in about two months. , The trade with Japan has tripled compared to last year, and Horqin’s plan to merge with China has also entered the implementation stage. After you return to Beijing, you can rest for up to half a month. There is one thing you still need to do. "

After hearing that Wang Qi had assigned him a task, Lu Yu's waist that had just fallen straightened up immediately, but her heart that had been hanging since entering the room had already been put down.

This is a sign that Wang Qi values ​​himself!
How could Lu Yuyan be unhappy?
"England and France have sent trade caravans to China. We also have to arrange the next trade event. I plan to let you take full responsibility for this matter. Sun Chuanting and Zheng Yiguan will be your deputies."

"Trade with England and France?" Lu Yu was a little confused.

This was the first time he heard the names of these two countries.

"Don't worry, you go back and rest first. After a while, Sun Chuanting and Zheng Yiguan will come to you. You two can learn more about it together." (End of Chapter)
