Chapter 138: A Useless Consultative Bureau

Wang Yongan wanted to see Nie Yuntai first, and secondly, he couldn't help but give Liu Yi and Nie Jichun face, but the old man Nie was too old to go, and there were only Liu Yi and Nie Yuntai on the wine table. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Wang Yongxin kept in mind the fabric problem of camouflage uniforms, and carefully discussed with Nie Yuntai whether the fabric of camouflage uniforms could be produced.

Wang Yongan immediately made a decision, reached a cooperative relationship with Nie Yuntai's Hengfeng Textile Factory, and became a shareholder of Hengfeng Textile Factory, and purchased 10% of the shares of Hengfeng Textile Factory for 30,000 taels of silver.

With the support of the Wang family, Hengfeng Textile Factory can be sold north of the Yangtze River in the future, especially in the northern and central Jiangsu regions, and even in the process of confronting the textile of Lu Province. And more importantly, if Hengfeng Textile Factory wants to confront Japanese textiles, it must have the support of people with official status. The Nie family does not enter politics, but the Nie family knows that they must rely on politicians.

After talking about private matters, Nie Jichun actually appeared with the support of his family, and it turned out that he invited Wang Yongan to go to the Shanghai Municipal Advisory Bureau to listen to the meeting a few days later. Wang Yongan was slightly taken aback, I don't know if this is the idea of the Advisory Bureau, or Nie Jichun's own idea, but Wang Yongan still has a great prejudice against the Advisory Bureau, he knows that the Advisory Bureau is just a sign set up by the Qing government in order to win over the Han people, a chastity archway that hides people's ears, and the name of the archway is called "Monarch Republic".

Half a year ago, after the establishment of the National Consultative Bureau, the first meeting was held in Nanjing, demanding that the Qing court promulgate the constitution, organize a cabinet, and open a parliament.

Due to the positive response of the regent Zaifeng to the Consultative Bureau, the members of the Consultative Bureau mistakenly believed that the Qing court relied heavily on the Consultative Bureau, so they put forward more suggestions and opinions in the hope that the Qing court could issue a decree according to their requirements and gradually transition the Qing Empire into a constitutional monarchy.

At the end of the year, the members of the 17 provincial advisory bureaus held another meeting in Shanghai to discuss going to Beijing in January next year to request a cabinet reshuffle from the imperial court.

Originally, Wang Yongan was invited to observe the meeting of the National Consultative Council, which should be a very exciting thing, but he knew that this time the members of the Consultative Council were shaving their heads and picking their heads, and even the regent Zaifeng gradually lost control of the imperial court, resulting in the emergence of the Seven Emperors in the imperial court.

Although Zaifeng is the minister of supervision, he is weak, and the royal family is gradually elevating this hairy boy. The Manchus were able to unite in the face of the Han ministers, but the rest of the time, the Manchu nobles were just stabbing each other in a blind struggle for power and profit.

In the end, under the continuous demands of the Consultative Bureau and the continuous uprisings of the Han people, Zaifeng contributed to the establishment of the Qing Imperial Cabinet, the first imperial cabinet consisted of thirteen ministers of state, but nine of them were Manchu and four were Han, and seven of the nine were members of the imperial family, who were precisely the leaders of the Seven Emperors.

After thinking about it, Wang Yongan rejected Nie's invitation, feeling that he had no other use than to witness a ridiculous piece of history. Moreover, Wang Yongan is in the military, and it is not good to be impeached, if Wang Yongtai is involved, it is not good.

After the banquet, I returned to the inn, but saw that Yuan Nianzhen was not sleeping, she was actually sitting on the bow of the boat sewing shoes, which looked like children's shoes. But Wang Yongan seriously doubted that his child would be able to wear such small shoes in the future, so he shook his head and sighed: "This kind of rough work should be handed over to others, Nianzhen, I think you should just read a book." ”

"Humph! Do you think I'm doing something wrong? Yuan Nianzhen glanced at him, "There is no need to beat around the bush, I don't dislike you, you actually dislike me." Wang Yongan sat beside him with a smile, and when he saw two invitations on the table, he asked whose it was, Yuan Nianzhen glanced at it and said, "It seems to be called Zhang Jingjiang, and the other one is from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce." ”

Wang Yongan ignored the invitation from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but picked up Zhang Jingjiang's invitation and said with a smile: "This Mr. Zhang is a revolutionary party." ”

"Huh?" Yuan Nianzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and throw it away, you can't have anything to do with the revolutionary party." ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and said with a smile: "There are no absolute enemies or absolute friends in the world, how do you know that the revolutionary party will not sit at the same table with us one day?" ”

"There are no good people in the revolutionary party, but they think about rebellion every day, and the common people don't support it." Yuan Nianzhen muttered, washed up and rested.

The next day, Wang Yongan went to Zhang's house with the bodyguards, and saw Zhang Jingjiang and Song Jiashu, and the three of them chatted about the stocks in Shanghai, especially their stock prices, which have increased more than 20 times, Song Jiashu was worried that the stock would fall, Wang Yongan patted his chest and promised: "There is still half a year, wait another half a year, I dare to guarantee that the price will be twice as expensive as now." ”

"That's sixty times, sixty times." Song Jiashu said dumbfounded.

Wang Yongan smiled and said: "So, don't worry, don't worry, if you can't wait, you can sell now, but I don't dare to guarantee whether you can buy stocks again." Now that there are new stocks in the market, they are sold out, can you still buy new stocks? ”

The two thought about it for a while, and decided to believe Wang Yongan's judgment, after all, listening to his words had such a rich reward, Wang Yongan asked about Chen Qimei again, Zhang Jingjiang smiled and said that now Chen Qimei is getting mixed up in the Qinggang Hall, and she is busy all day long, and they don't have time to get together, but they can get together with Wang Yongan's four people. As he was talking, someone reported that Mr. Chen Qimei and Mr. Chen were here, and before he entered the door, he shouted: "Brother Renjie, Brother Renjie, I heard that Jingyun is coming, and this kid didn't tell me when he came to Shanghai, which really annoyed me." When I looked up, I saw Zhang Jingjiang, Song Jiashu, and Wang Yongan sitting at the dining table, eating Western food, drinking red wine, chatting, and became even more angry, shouting: "Wow you, wow, you don't call me when you eat and drink, and do you treat me as a brother?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Song Jiashu said: "Yingshi, don't make noise, we invited you over several times before, and you excused yourself too much, why did you come here now that Jingyun came, is Jingyun more important than us?" ”

Chen Qimei shouted: "Everyone is brothers, how can anyone be more important than whom, isn't it like the youngest daughter's family?" Come on, come on, drink and drink, I'm late today, and I'll punish myself with three glasses! ”

Zhang Jingjiang hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "This red wine will be dizzy if you punish yourself for three glasses." ”

Chen Qimei staggered: "The wine of foreigners is not as good as our Chinese wine, not good, a few days ago someone gave me a jar of Shaoxing daughter red, saying that it was hidden in the ground for 16 years, and my daughter got married and dug out ten altars, and the last altar was given to me." You all go another day and drink together. ”

Everyone laughed loudly, recounted old feelings, talked and talked, and sometimes unconsciously talked about the national reform, especially the recent fact that the Consultative Bureau was preparing to go to Beijing to ask for orders, asking the Qing government to follow the example of Britain or Japan and establish a cabinet system, and the cabinet would make decisions, not under the imperial decree.

Song Jiashu sighed: "If the cabinet is established, the efforts of the comrades of the League will not be in vain, and they will finally force the imperial court to give up mediocrity." ”

Chen Qimei pouted and said: "How can the power in your hands be said to be released, I see that the Qing court will definitely play tricks, those banner men are no different from the little red guys, and they are ruthless." ”

Only then did Wang Yongan speak: "What Brother Yingshi said is extremely true, I think the Manchu nobles will not easily let go of power. ”

Song Jiashu frowned and said, "But if we are discussing the cabinet reshuffle today, you can see that the newspaper still publishes the resolution of the regent Zaifeng to support the establishment of the cabinet." ”

Wang Yongan said: "Of course he supports it, because the reshuffle of the cabinet will inevitably make him the first prime minister, or he will be in power." He is now gradually being hollowed out of power by the old men of the Manchu nobles, and after the establishment of the cabinet, Zaifeng can skip those old guys and use his own people. But I'm never optimistic about this Zaifeng, he's only twenty-six years old this year, how can he beat those old foxes? Don't let them not only be able to stand up for them at that time, but also pit the Advisory Bureau and the people of the world, and the Han people in the world will be angry. ”

Chen Qimei suddenly slapped her face and smiled: "Don't say that the Han people are not satisfied with the court, even the Manchus are not satisfied with the court, I know a Manchu man, called Nong Jinsun, is Mr. Sun's hardcore comrade-in-arms, and he opposes the court very much." He suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "By the way, tonight Nong Jinsun is the east, and invites some of our brothers from the Green Gang to wave their flags and shout for his friends, I wonder if everyone is interested in going over?" ”

"Isn't it Nong Jinsun, a merchant of medicinal herbs in Anhui Province?" Zhang Jingjiang asked.

"Yes, that's him." Chen Qimei said.

Zhang Jingjiang looked at Song Jiashu, Song Jiashu smiled and said: "We won't go, today is your Qinggang brothers and Mr. Nong's romance, we won't bother." ”

Wang Yongan asked with interest: "What is Nong Jinsun's friend called?" ”

"It seems to be Huo Yuanjia, the hero of Jinmen." Chen Qimei said.

Wang Yongan was very interested in Huo Yuanjia, so he said that he was willing to take a look, Chen Qimei said with a smile: "With the presence of the fourth prince of Yangzhou Xiao Zhuge Wang, it is more brilliant than Peng. ”

Zhang Jingjiang shook his head and said with a smile: "Where is Peng Shenghui used like this, playing the piano indiscriminately." It made everyone laugh, and when they got together again, everyone was in a good mood, although Chen Qimei was suppressed by another faction in the alliance, but Chen Qimei was like a fish in water in the Green Gang. And Chen Qimei also felt that the "comrades" of the alliance were unreliable, did not pay attention to righteousness, did not discuss with him about any big and small things, and even did not tell him about some decisions, so he was even more angry, but the Qinggang brothers supported him a lot, so he made friends widely, endured it, and waited for the opportunity to make a splash one day.
