Chapter 228: The final decision is made in the court
Chen Mu's ideas and proposals are simply earth-shattering!
Although whether it is Longji or other associations, it will be more or less involved with the imperial court, but it will never do business so openly and openly.
What's more, this time it's not an ordinary business, it's a battleship!
The Beiyang Naval Division was wiped out in a naval battle, and the imperial court had long been interested in the Beiyang Naval Division, although there were still many Beiyang ministers running for it in the court, but the imperial court no longer had enough financial resources to form a fleet.
In other words, it is unrealistic for Chen Mu to want to do business in the imperial court, because there is no market, or this market no longer has enough consumption power.
And the risk of this business is too great, whether it is Chen Mu or someone else, if you are not careful, it will cause death!
However, Chen Mu's eyes were as resolute as the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus beside him, and in the face of the sword river that dissuaded him, he just spoke.
"Second uncle, this business has been decided, and my advice is not to do business, but to do business with whom."
Luo Jianhe also sighed lightly, and said to Chen Mu: "But in all business, there must always be some profit, what kind of profit do you want, the second uncle and the brothers will make up for you from other places, so it's better than doing business with the imperial court, right?" ”
"You need to know that you are no longer alone now, you still have so much business behind you, and most of the Dragon Chronicles, if you get into trouble and get into trouble, your brothers will have to follow you to suffer......"
In the end, Luo Jianhe is an elder, and others dare not contradict Chen Mu, but he can persuade him with painstaking words, and even directly point out Chen Mu's impropriety.
Chen Mu shook his head and said to the sword: "Second uncle, the profit from business is not necessarily gold and silver money...... There are some things that can't be recouped by other businesses......"
Knowing that if he didn't explain it clearly, the concerns of Luo Jianhe and the others would not be dispelled, so Chen Mu would no longer hide it and go to Luo Jianhe.
"Second uncle, let me ask you, why did Fu Qingyin suppress me?"
"Why? Now that Hong Shuntang has fallen into his hands, how can you be his opponent, but the fall is only temporary......"
Chen Mu nodded and agreed: "Yes, he has Hong Shuntang, but let me ask the second uncle again, if I get the support of all the brothers in Longji, can I fight with him?" ”
Luo Jianhe hesitated for a moment: "Long Ji has strong financial resources, but the background is not half a star, and it is estimated that it is still a little relu......ctant."
Chen Mu nodded again: "Okay, if I collect all the scattered twenty or so Hongmen associations, the strength should be much stronger than Hong Shuntang, can I fight then?" ”
"All closed? You want to be the big faucet?!!! Although Luo Jianhe was surprised, he was all showing off to others, although he knew Chen Mu's ambitions, but to tell the truth, even if Chen Mu really became the leader, I was afraid that it would not be easy to fight with Fu Qingyin, because ......
"He also has the support of the imperial court, although he is only a staff member of the Governor's Palace, but it is by no means a little friendship on the official face, and the energy in private is the most powerful ......"
Luo Jianhe got to the point, and Chen Mu finally got the answer he wanted.
"Second Uncle is right, the reason why Fu Qingyin was able to crush me to death was not because he took away Hong Shuntang, but because he was trusted by the Governor's Mansion and was able to call on the resources of officialdom!"
"You want to do the same?" Luo Jianhe finally caught Chen Mu's intentions, but he still objected.
"Young master, this is a different ......"
"Fu Qingyin was a second or five boy earlier, sneaking into the officialdom to do drama, and the accumulation over the years is more reliable than my predecessor's patrol battalion management belt, otherwise there is no way to mobilize the resources of officialdom."
"You want to use the power of officialdom for you with a simple transaction, and it is used against Fu Qingyin of the Governor's Palace, it's really a bit whimsical."
Chen Mu also became solemn: "Second uncle, if you don't even dare to think about everything, how can you do it?" ”
He stood up, looked around, and said loudly to everyone: "I, Chen Mujia, am in the middle of the road, people are light-hearted, I can get the love of my brothers, and I am lucky to get to this day, and I am also desperate, since I have entered the game and won the trust of my brothers, I will have no hesitation, I will make Longji stronger and bigger, I want to recapture Hongshuntang, and I will be a big dragon!" ”
"He Fu Qingyin is my obstacle and my obstacle, but it is also the goal I want to challenge, if even he can't get over it, how can I do big things in the future!"
"If he can do it, I can do it, and if he can become a celebrity in the Doge's Palace, I can do the same!"
"These foreigners and drawings can be regarded as the first step, and they can be regarded as stepping stones!"
Luo Jianhe was also angry: "He made Erwuzai, do you want to be like him, be Erwuzai!" ”
Although Luo Jianhe followed Chen Mu, he was the master of the West Pavilion of the Torture Hall after all, and he was a loyal and upright person in his bones, and the most hated was the rebel!
Chen Mu also looked at the sword and said: "Second uncle, what kind of person am I, don't you know!" ”
"This time is different from the past, the way of the world is no longer the way of the world, do we still have to open our mouths and close our mouths to oppose the restoration of the Qing Dynasty?"
"No, our roots are in the market, and our brothers are villagers and neighbors, but if we can unite the villagers, contact our brothers, and settle down in the troubled times, this is enough."
"We're not overlords, and we don't try to get to the world, we just want to live a good life, that's enough, isn't it?"
Chen Mu didn't mean to say something discouraged, Hongmen has long since fallen apart, and the Zhongyi General Hall has already existed in name only, everyone is under the banner of Hongmen, looking at the scenery, but who is not living a trembling life?
Who doesn't want to take care of their lives, hoping that their brothers and sisters will have a mat to sleep well at night and a bowl of white rice to eat during the day?
Perhaps the imperial court has run out of energy, like a sick tiger, constantly encroached upon and carved up by the Western powers, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army have already tried.
Even if this sick tiger is dying and terminally ill, it is not something that can be touched by the rivers and lakes and the community.
Whether Chen Mu is short-sighted or narrow-minded, he really doesn't have the confidence and courage at present.
But it is precisely this plain vision for the brothers that is most in line with the aspirations of the brothers today, and even Luo Jianhe has to admit it.
If it is said that the court is a sick tiger, then today's Hongmen is just a dying lone wolf, taking care of the brothers and being able to live in this troubled world is the most important!
Chen Mu's words also made Luo Jianhe fall into contemplation, but Lin Zongwan and the other brothers looked at Chen Mu, but there was a kind of heartfelt respect in their eyes.
The four guys finally stood up, hugged their fists at Chen Mu and said, "This business, the four guys are willing to follow the second master to do it!" ”
Lin Zongwan also stood up and said to Chen Mu: "But if you are driven, you will never give up!" ”
Ah Shui and the others also stood up one after another, and said in unison: "Don't give up!" ”
Chen Mu nodded to everyone with relief and gratitude, and then looked at Luo Jianhe, who looked at everyone and finally sighed lightly.
"I'm also the patrol battalion leader, although I have stepped down, but the connections are still there, if you really want to wade into this troubled water, I will give up my life......"
Hearing this, Chen Mu also became excited, pinched Luo Jianhe's shoulder, and said excitedly: "With the help of the second uncle, this time it will be a success!" ”
Everyone also rejoiced, and Chen Mu hit the railroad while it was hot: "Second uncle, it's not too early, take me to see Qingchang!" ”
"Keichaga? Do you want to give him something? Luo Jianhe suddenly frowned, shook his head and said: "Although Qingchang is a general in Guangzhou, he is not a Han Chinese, so it is not appropriate to hand it over to him." ”
Chen Mu also thought that Qingchang had let him go, thinking that he still had some conscience, thinking that he would serve the country and the people, which was a great thing for the benefit of the country and the army, and Qingchang should support it.
However, he forgot a fundamental thing, on the surface, Qingchang is still cleaning up the mess of Xinhui, and he is still the host of the hunt for Chen Mu!
Chen Mu was actually just throwing bricks and attracting jade, and at this time, he said with a smile: "Since the second uncle thinks it's inappropriate, I don't know if there are good candidates to recommend one or two?" ”
Seeing Chen Mu's sly smile, Luo Jianhe also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know that I am an old man, it's just a coincidence, it's a coincidence, come with me." ”
Chen Mu was happy, but he was still a little puzzled if he had a deep meaning for the Rujian River.
"What is coincidence?"
Luo Jianhe did not hide it: "If it is an ordinary season, it is impossible to see this big man, but right now he is in Guangzhou." ”
"In Guangzhou?" Chen Mu had already expected in his heart that if he wanted to see the big man, there would be no one else in Xinhui except Qingchang, and it was inevitable to go out, but he didn't expect to go to Guangzhou.
"It's not because of you, it's not a destiny, everything has cause and effect, if you didn't cause so many things, this old man is afraid that he won't come to Guangzhou, in the end, it's the result of your kid's hard work, I hope it can be done......"
Chen Mu saw that he was talking mysteriously, and he couldn't hold back in his heart: "Second uncle, who are we going to see?" ”
Luo Jianhe sold Guan Zi: "If you go, you will know, you still think about it, who should you take with you." ”
Chen Mu understood the meaning of the Rujian River.
He is now a fugitive, and he brings too many people, which can easily attract attention, and if he brings fewer people, it is too dangerous.
Many brothers have shown their loyalty, their faces are full of eagerness, their eyes are burning, and they all want to go to the soup for Chen Mu.
Chen Mu was not verbose: "The brothers are all thinking about me, and I am also very grateful, but this time I am going to do business, not desperately, the brothers should stay at home." ”
"The fourth uncle will go up with me, the business will be handed over to Brother Yang, Shudong will stay to protect, and the security will let Ah Shui take care of it temporarily, Brother Lin will go with me, and Tongcheng and several brothers will also stay to help."
As soon as Chen Mu said this, the basic members were decided.
The four guys followed to talk about business, Luo Jianhe was the leader, Lin Zongwan was the bodyguard, Lu Shengwu was the master, so he had to follow, Sun Youlin and Ashiya Haruko were used to it, and they had to go together.
Chen Mu glanced behind him, although the Holy Mother of Red Lotus looked very annoyed, it seemed that she was also going to follow, which was also a helpless move.
In this way, although everyone was a little disappointed, there was nothing to complain about in the end.
It's just that when everyone went down to prepare their bags, Deng Zhenhai walked in and said to Chen Mu with a solemn face.
"Second master, someone sent a letter in!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
