"This damn bastard thing, it's so deceitful! Do you think I don't know you did all this? You kid dare to cut off Lao Tzu's financial route, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”

Wen He kicked over the desk in the study with a thunderous kick, and smashed everything he could see to the ground, what books, calligraphy and paintings, what pen, ink, paper, inkstone, what bonsai flowers, as long as it was within reach, there were almost all things that he threw away like beans, and Wenhe's daughter-in-law got off Li Chun's bed just now, and she couldn't walk, she wanted to go home and have a good rest, but she didn't expect Wen He This guy didn't know what was crazy, and he couldn't stop crackling. I wanted to teach this kid a good lesson, but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened the door of the study, I saw that the ground was full of glass slags, and the ceramic shards made people have nowhere to put their feet, and it made people feel distressed to death.

"What the hell do you want to do as a turtle son, you smashed so many good things, do you know how much it costs?" Mrs. Wen He suddenly became angry, and a pair of sleepy peach blossom eyes that were slightly closed immediately bulged like goldfish eyes, and with both hands pinched to her waist, she scolded.

Wen He glared at her viciously and said, "You went to sleep with that old thing again!" Whose daughter-in-law are you, dare to control Lao Tzu's head! As he spoke, he lowered his neck and walked viciously towards his daughter-in-law like a mad dog.

His daughter-in-law had never seen Wen He like this, and when she saw him walking towards her step by step, she looked like she was being targeted by a vicious dog, and she was afraid in her heart, and she didn't want to grab a pine tree that was thrown on the ground, and threw it towards Wen He's head.

With a bang, Wen He was knocked to the ground by the pine tree, and then ' Ah's sound was stung by all kinds of scum on the ground and jumped up from the ground, this time it angered him, Chang Zhenbang is high and powerful and not in front of him He can't help it for the time being, but you don't abide by the old lady actually rode on Lao Tzu's head, is it unbearable, but even chased towards his daughter-in-law like a hungry tiger pounced, this daughter-in-law just honored her father-in-law, her body was a little weak, Wen He was also a dignified seven-foot man, and he stepped forward to punch his daughter-in-law to the ground, rode up, and punched and kicked, where is this husband and wife, it is simply an enemy, especially when he saw that the flattery on his daughter-in-law's face has not disappeared, he is even more angry, and he is a random beating。

The subordinate maids who were hiding on both sides hurriedly hid far away, their own masters knew that Wen He exchanged his daughter-in-law for a green hat, and also exchanged for the status of a godson, but men are no longer things, some things cannot be tolerated, and some dignity cannot be touched.

After Wenhe was tired, he fell beside his daughter-in-law and said breathlessly: "You are the daughter-in-law I am marrying, and you must never forget this!" ”

The daughter-in-law was beaten all over her body by him, and said with infinite lamentation: "The woman you sent into the gate of the Wen family with a sedan chair is not me!" ”

Wen He said: "At the beginning, I Wenhe turned against my parents, parted with my wife, and even exhausted my family wealth to save from the kiln. You belong to Lao Tzu alone, you have to accompany me when Lao Tzu is alive, and when Lao Tzu is dead, you have to be buried! ”

The daughter-in-law's eyes turned red and she sighed and said, "I know how good you are to me, but isn't all this I doing for you?" If you give up your family and business for me, all I can do is to use my body to help you glorify your ancestors! ”

Wen He said viciously: "What you can give me is just a green hat!" How many times has Li Chun's old thing been on you, that time I agreed, you are happy, but Chang Zhenbang broke my business twice in half a month, and also cut off the waterway of Lao Tzu's Jiujiang, and Lao Tzu had to pay 30,000 yuan in the ocean, but Li Chun's old beast except for opening his mouth to beat and close his mouth to teach, he didn't see any action to support Lao Tzu at all, isn't Lao Tzu's money money! It's really unreasonable, you have to listen to Lao Tzu, next time if the old thing is letting you pass, without Lao Tzu's approval, if you rush over without permission, Lao Tzu will slaughter you and feed the dog! ”

"Joke, you won't be let go at all!" The daughter-in-law said: "Without my body, you can't please Li Chun's beast with your ability." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, Lao Tzu fed him so much money, and he still wants Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law, how can there be such a good thing in the world!" Wen He said angrily: "When will he drive Chang Zhenbang out of Jiangxi officialdom for Lao Tzu, and then worry about Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and ripped off his daughter-in-law's clothes, and an overlord came to bow hard.

When the people in the house saw this, they retreated one after another, and as for the evil fires that were aroused, they could only rely on themselves to find a way to send them out.

Before Wen He complained to Li Chun, Chang Zhenbang gave Wen He an official document, in which he severely criticized himself for having no way to rule, and even let there be water thieves in Poyang Lake, in addition to blaming himself, he also hoped that the Overseer's Government would approve him to recruit a fleet near Poyang Lake and go to the lake to suppress bandits!

Along with this official letter was a secret military report on the British Empire's decision to conduct large-scale military exercises in the waters around the British Concession in Jiujiang in view of the arrogance of the water bandits at Poyang Lake, in which it was concluded that British sailors might take the opportunity to expand the British Concession and force the Chinese government to choose a side in the war.

After Li Chun saw this military report, he was immediately dumbfounded, don't look at the British who are working with the Germans in Europe at this time, and people's brains are all beaten into dog brains, but if the British Empire, the Russian Empire, and the United States of France are the three life and death allies of the United States of America, if they attack China together, even Boss Yuan's three heads and six arms are helpless, and maybe everything will be pushed on his head, that is, flying disaster.

Fortunately, Chang Zhenbang clarified in the official documents and reports that he would preemptively send troops to exterminate the water thieves so that the British could not find an excuse to send troops, this plan can be described as hitting the nail on the head, but Li Chun did not believe that the British would give up on this, and they would not find other excuses without the water thieves, but if the British insisted on this, he would not have a good response plan but to telegraph Zhongnanhai at this time, so that Yuan Boss could make relevant preparations, and at the same time allocate a batch of funds and guns and ammunition to Chang Zhenbang to supplement it, and urge him to exterminate the water thieves as soon as possible. Keep China and the rest safe.

"Zhenbang, you are a good boy, this matter will be handed over to you, uncle will never forget you!" Li Chun sighed, waved his pen, and wrote his opinion on the official document. He also asked people to secretly send a telegram to Chang Zhenbang, the contents of the telegram were many but there was only one thing: if they could not stop the military exercises of the British, they should also have no excuse to send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of Jiangxi, and as for the affairs of the British Concession, which were local affairs, they could be handled by Chang Zhenbang as appropriate.

After Chang Zhenbang received the information, he was immediately overjoyed, he immediately mobilized Ruichang's Central China Heavenly Division, and Zhang Youhua's Department of Hukou carried out military exercises along Poyang Lake, although he did not shoot and went off, but the momentum of the thousand-mile rapid march still greatly shook the area near Xunyang Road, and at the same time, the Jiujiang Boat Gang, in accordance with Chang Zhenbang's instructions in advance, sent more than 300 large and small ships five or six hundred to beg for a living in Poyang Lake. After eight or nine days of dragnet search, a total of 567 large and small bandits and more than 80 water thieves were wiped out, and brilliant results were achievedIf the merchant ship escorted by the Jiujiang Boat Gang was hijacked by the water thieves, the Jiujiang Boat Gang would pay fifty percent of the compensation. ”

The introduction of this policy is happy and some are worried, those who are not bad for money on the safe fleet naturally applauded, because the cost of these escorts is not high, some people simply hire the boats of the Jiujiang Boat Gang to escort, but those small business merchants can not help but be fine, once they find that the waterway is not economical and convenient, they immediately changed to land, of course, there are individual merchants who get rid of the boats and transport goods privately, once they are found by Wu Boss, they will be punished three times the cost of escorting, At worst, the scuttling of boats has cut off the water jobs of these boat owners.

Wen He, as a former official family and a current business tycoon, has no reason not to receive the escort quotation sent by Boss Wu, he looked at the numbers on it one after another, and couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, and when he picked up the pen and calculated the cost of taking the Jiujiang waterway, his face suddenly turned blue, obviously with his cargo volume, if the escort fee was levied by these Jiujiang fleets, the profit margin was almost the same as going south to Guangdong, if it was added to the cost of filial piety to Li Chun, it would be more than worth the loss, Do you want to ask the old thing for help? Wen He pondered for a moment and shook his head resolutely, the British Empire knew through his own channels that the British Empire was going to hold military exercises because of the Jiujiang water thieves, not to mention that Wen He was his godfather at this time, even his own father did not dare to risk giving the British Navy an excuse for war to open a small stove for himself, he still honestly went south to Guangzhou!

"Chang Zhenbang, this time the uncle raised his noble hand and let you bastard, but the British side depends on your own ability~!" After Wen He made up his mind, he said coldly.

The third uncle of the Lu family and Dehai once again served as Chang Zhenbang's attendants, and went to various Dao Yin, the town guards, this time they didn't wait for more than half an hour like the last time, but before the people arrived, someone came to pick them up, which felt really cool!

Yuzhang Dao Yin Zhou Andeng is a serious born official, he has a great reputation in his youth, he is not greedy and diligent and compassionate to the people, but he is inevitably a little noble, but in today's world, he is also a rare good official, with him sitting in Yuzhang Dao, he is also safe and sound, although the people will not make a fortune but have not been tossed much, it is also rare.

The last time Dehai saw Zhou Andeng, he was treated contemptuously by this person because of his background, but this person is also reasonable, knowing that rejuvenating the country through industry is the way to enrich the people and strengthen the country, and he was not embarrassed, so he agreed to Dehai's request, but this person did not treat Dehai very well from beginning to end, but Dehai saw it very openly, maybe he was used to it, so this time he didn't shirk much, this time Zhou Andeng asked him to wait for half an hour, until the sky was dark, and then let people take him to the study.

"General Office of Dehai, I didn't expect us to meet again!" Zhou Andeng said indifferently: "I don't know why you came to this official this time?" ”

Dehai said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, after my family Dao Yin exterminated the water thief, I felt that it was necessary to tell you the original commission, so I demolished the villain." ”

"I already know about it! Exterminating the water thieves is a good thing, Chang Daren has meritorious service to the country and the people, but there is no need to report to me Yuzhangdao! Zhou Andeng said.

Dehai said: "My lord, you Shengming, this matter has nothing to do with your Yuzhang Dao, but the Poyang Lake waterway is related to the interests of most merchants in Yuzhang Dao, and my Dao Yin thinks that I should still let me tell you!" ”

Zhou Denghai said 'oh' and said: "Industrial rejuvenation is the great righteousness of the country, which I know and don't want to oppose, but the businessmen are willing to take that road, and the official can't help it!" Master Chang really embarrassed the official. ”

Dehai said with a smile: "My lord is worried, my family Dao Yin doesn't mean this, he just wants to tell Dao Yin that now when the industry is rejuvenating the country, the water thieves are rampant when they see profit and forget righteousness, and it is also my family's management is okay, in order to express my family's apologies, but all the industries we have discussed before will be given preferential prices for one boat and one penny a day, and I hope your lordship will forgive me!" ”

"What if something happens?"

"Just follow the rules."

"I want you to tell me about this rule!"

"If the merchant ship escorted by the Jiujiang Boat Gang is hijacked by water thieves, the Jiujiang Boat Gang will pay fifty percent of the compensation."

"As long as the merchants of this way have one boat a day, they can live fifty percent of the compensation if something happens?"

"My lord is wise, that's it, so that I can show the sincerity of my family!"

"Haha!" Zhou Denghai sneered a few times, and said coldly: "Chang Zhenbang is really a big deal, why are your adults doing this?" Don't accuse me of such lies in order to serve my family and country, your family is also a person who takes a fancy to interests, not only honors Zhang Jian with 5,000 oceans every month for me and other colleagues, but now almost does not charge us for escort fees, if there are no ghosts, ghosts don't believe it! I think you'd better tell me about it! Otherwise, Ben Dao Yin can only help Ai. ”

Dehai smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Zhou, you are really shrewd, then I will tell the truth, my family is indeed not a good man and a woman, and the reason why he is so generous is also his own interests!" My lord, the more the merchant ship cargo goes from the Jiujiang waterway, the more the adult's tax is raised, and those goods escort don't cost a few dollars, but the tax is a lot, if you are my family, you must do the same! ”

"I'll just say that this kid isn't so kind! I really let me say it! Zhou Denghai said very proudly: "But this is also a good thing, anyway, you pay taxes everywhere, and it will save trouble and safety by taking his Jiujiang waterway, so I promised him this matter!" As he spoke, the butler shouted to see off the guests, and Dehai smiled bitterly and stayed at an inn near Yamen, ready to go to the next stop early tomorrow morning.

……

In that little-known café in the British Concession, Chang Zhenbang brought out Rio, Brazil, and a fresh coffee pot was steaming between the two people.

Chang Zhenbang stared at the hot air coming out of the coffee pot and said lightly: "I have already finished the matter of Wen and flour. ”

Basiri smiled and said: "Congratulations, my old friend, I have sent a telegram to the foreign affairs department, I believe that the imperial ice ship will not come to Jiujiang for military exercises." In return, though, I need you to provide the Empire with a good batch of flour. This time, the empire no longer orders at market prices. ”

Chang Zhenbang shrugged and said: "You can take my flour, but I am powerless with the flour of those merchants, if I don't give them enough profits, they will not continue to produce." ”

"I understand that, but you can see it when you look at it. As he spoke, he took out a directive from his briefcase!

Chang Zhenbang was taken aback.

The edict came not from the British Empire but from Zhongnanhai in Beijing, China, and was filled with Chinese characters instead of 26 letters of the English alphabet.

The instructions required the provincial overseers, the town guards, and the Daoyin to provide the British side with all the materials they needed at cost price as much as possible, and not to be at both ends, which damaged the friendship between the two countries.

The last signature is a Yuan character.

But that's enough for that.

Chang Zhenbang trembled and read this instruction, then raised his head and said to Basiri: "This instruction ......"

Basiri said lightly: "The members of the Imperial Colonial Department and the Legation have changed from initially asking Mr. Yuan Shikai to be called emperor after the war to actively supporting him to carry out imperial activities at any time and in any place!" That's the price! ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at Basili and said, "If it's true, why didn't I receive it!" ”

"Some of your Overseers can do a lot for the Empire without this order, but you don't belong to these people, if you don't believe it. I can ask the Beijing side to send this instruction telegram to Li Chun in Jiangxi! Whenever you need, my friend! ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "State affairs are like this, what else can I say?" But you have to make some money from those folk flours! ”

"If the empire squeezes excessively, it will let this flour flow to Germany and other countries, and the empire still understands this reason!" Basiri smiled and said: "What you have done, the empire will not forget, the imperial navy will take a turn outside Jiujiang and then return to Shanghai." Goodbye my friend! ”
