He still sat down and continued, "It's just that we heard that the DPRK has issued an order to train the regiments of the two provinces, Guangzhou, Yunnan and Guizhou to train into North Vietnam to maintain order and prevent the Vietnamese people from fleeing into China due to the war. ”

"Your method is good," Zeng Guoquan stretched out his finger and nodded, and said approvingly, "This brain is really bright, no wonder this guild is so prosperous, in this way, first, it can cope with the will of the above, and secondly, it can help the Foshan Guild, kill two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds, very good, ah, then do it according to your law." ”

President Mei was very happy to see Zeng Guoquan agreeing so happily, but he seemed to hear Zeng Guoquan's words of "coping with the will", and his heart was sudden, so he didn't care about any offense, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know how many regiments are going to be sent to Vietnam, boss." ”

"There are not many Liangguang group exercises, and they have to be stationed in various places, so there are not many people drawn out, I think, about two hundred people, it's almost inseparable." Zeng Guoquan put down the teacup, and said with a smile and a gentle face, looking harmless.

There are only two hundred people, what use can it be, two hundred people jumped in on the edge of the Red River, half of the waves can't be turned up, this number of people is really just a perfunctory will of the imperial court, not to mention the four thousand reinforcements of the French, even the regimental training in the hands of Chen Wending, the governor of Beiqi, is more than this number, President Mei is still good, the people behind can't help but show a look of disappointment, several people look at each other, President Mei accompanies and said with a smile, "Although the little ones are not familiar with military affairs, there are thousands of elite soldiers trained by the boss in the regimental training of these two wide, If you make a little bit here and there, you must be able to draw out a few thousand people, but if it is two hundred people, I am afraid it will not be helpful. ”

"There's no way to do it," Master Zhang, who hadn't spoken for a long time and was napping with his head down, suddenly raised his head and spoke in his thick Xiangtan dialect, "The court doesn't give silver, and we don't dare to embezzle the silver of Liangguang, but this group is going to practice, and they all want silver!" This money is out of the pocket of the local finance of Liangguang, and now the silver is withheld, you say it so easily," Master Zhang said angrily, and he stomped his feet as he spoke, "The grain and grass logistics of these two hundred people, I don't know where to go to the ring to get it?" Lord Dutai has already done his duty! It's not helpful, what is the fact that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass are current, you are all too young to know anything about things! ”

Zeng Guoquan was polite to the people of the Foshan Guild, but this Master Zhang scolded him, but he woke up the dreamer, President Mei understood, he quickly stood up, and said to Zeng Guoquan, "It's the little ones who are ignorant, it's really stupid, Lord Dutai sent troops, and the Foshan Guild has nothing to reciprocate, we are all laymen, so we can only use silver to express our hearts." He turned his head to look at a few people, and said resolutely, "The guild is willing to give 100,000 taels of silver to help the Liangguang group practice momentum to protect the mine!" ”

Zeng Guoquan smiled and said nothing, and Master Zhang shouted again, "You are really a coal boss, you don't know anything!" When was the group training bought with silver? Wouldn't the two Guangzhou group exercises become the family members of your Foshan Guild! If the group training enters Vietnam now, it is not for any of your mines! Vulgar, we are for the vassal country not to be bullied by foreigners! My old man relied on the old man to say a word, and it was decided in this way: in order to demonstrate China's benevolence and righteousness, the Foshan Association donated 400,000 taels of silver to help Vietnamese civilians! The Doge's Office sent 5,000 men to Vietnam, and no matter what you say, the northern side of the Red River must not be occupied by the French! ”

This price code is really a little high, but there are 5,000 people out of the horse, and the number of people has a clamping effect on the French, Master Zhang is a sophisticated person, and he has set the scope to delineate, 400,000 to buy the peace of the mine on the north bank of the Red River! It's not a loss to calculate it this way, Chairman Mei was a little hesitant, "If that's the case, it's not bad, but there is a legal person fleet in Haiphong Port."

"The ships of the Guangdong Navy Division regularly patrol the port of Qinzhou." Master Zhang said such a sentence, and then lowered his head and stopped talking. President Mei stood up, made up his mind, and bowed his hand to Zeng Guoquan, "The guild has decided to settle this matter!" My lord, let's go back and collect money, and ask your lord to save the Vietnamese people from fire and water. ”

Sure enough, Zeng Guoquan nodded with satisfaction, picked up the tea and sent it off, and said with a smile, "Vietnam is close to each other, and the two Guangxi don't care, who cares?" President May, you are benevolent and righteous, and I think the whole country of Vietnam will be very grateful. ”

President Mei and his entourage walked out of the Governor's Palace, and several people did not sit in the car separately, but got into President Mei's carriage together, some of them showed a look of pain, and some of them had excited expressions, "Boss Mei, do you see if this matter is reliable?" ”

"Our Governor, I have always been resolute and resolute, and we will never be unreliable," President Mei showed a very painful and relieved expression on his face at this time, "After receiving the money, I am not afraid that he will not do anything, but now it is good, as if the industrial government of the Foshan Guild has no share, and he doesn't care whether he loses or earns." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this," the white-faced fat man with a happy expression on his face was half comforting himself, half excited, "this 400,000 taels is worth it!" As long as the mines of North Vietnam are in our hands, what silver will not be able to earn back, a few bosses think about it, now the French are making trouble, Beiqi just happens to be unmanaged, this mine is only afraid that we don't have to hand over the Vietnamese tax silver, this saves money again, now think about it, just afraid that the governor is not enough soldiers, if it is enough, we spend a million taels of silver, all the mines in Vietnam are occupied, when the French factory in Saigon has no raw materials, to buy from us at a high price, this offensive and defensive translocation, Why are the French ironworks fighting with us? Let's just pay once, and we will make money forever in the future, this is a profitable business! ”

This is the truth, in this way, there are other words, "As long as the mines of North Vietnam are still under the regimental training of the Governor-General, the French factories will not want to get the ore, even if they cannot be mined because of the war, they will not be able to take advantage of them, and their prices will not be lower, so we will not be afraid of him." ”

President Mei nodded, "Speaking of which, the Governor is also very upright, and if he says that he will not interfere in the affairs of the guild, he will not interfere, if he directly asks us to draw out the guild's silver, although we will not say that we will not give it, but this rule will be broken in the end."
