Kneel down and beg for recommendations......

The front and back of the ranking came to a pinch-and-flank cooperation. The number of referrals is far less than the other party. Depressed

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Prince Alcohol Zaifeng is only sixteen years old. But very smart. First, he supported Cixi, second, he supported Cixi, and third, he supported Cixi.

He was frantically accumulating wealth, and until the end of the Qing Dynasty, his fortune was already tens of millions of silver. His brothers and relatives did not understand. He said: The Manchu Qing Dynasty is almost finished, if you don't take advantage of it now, wait for the Qing Dynasty to be finished. What do we go to eat and drink?

His son Pu Yi was restored in the northeast and asked him to go to the meeting, but not only did he not go, but scolded his son for being stupid. After the founding of the country, he donated his house to the government.

Such a legendary person is not something ordinary to impress.

When Hu Xiaoyan went to see Prince Alcohol Zaifeng, Prince Alcohol Zaifeng was listening to a play in the garden.

Hu Xiaoyan doesn't know how to play, and he only listens to the babbling on stage and doesn't know what he is singing.

Zaifeng didn't care whether the guests could understand it or not, and he shook his head and sang along happily. It's easy to wait until the end of a play.

Prince Alcohol Zaifeng took the tea bowl and blew it carefully: "Mr. Li's writing is excellent." The king also brought it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also praised Mr. ”

"The prince praised it falsely. The villain really doesn't dare to be. Hu Xiaoyan hurriedly bowed his head and gave his hand.

Zaifeng waved his hand and put down the teacup: "If you have a leg injury, you don't need to be so polite." ”

He picked up the plan. Nodding as he watched.

"Well, Big Farm Project! This is good. Steel mill? Isn't there a Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant? What a waste. Huaibei Coal Mining Plan? This plan is also very good. Building a school? This is good. ”

Zaifeng read the plan roughly: "Well, Mr. Li's talent, this king knows, but you must know that the court has no silver." ”

"The villain understands, so he hopes that private capital can be involved." Hu Xiaoyan secretly glanced at Zaifeng: "Let's just talk about this big farm plan, drive the farmers out of the land and let them work in the mines, the wages are much more cost-effective than farming." The vacant land will be handed over to the people who invest in the construction of the factory, so that they can farm scientifically. They received both a share of the factory's dividends and a share of land income. ”

Prince Zaifeng squinted his eyes and did not reply. At this time, the stage began to babble and sing again.

Hu Xiaoyan reluctantly shut up and listened to the damn drama!

It's easy to wait until the end of this scene. But he heard Zaifeng say: "It's too far." ”

Hu Xiaoyan understood. Zaifeng dislikes Anhui too far, and he can't reach it. You must know that the current governor of a province no longer pays much attention to the imperial court. For example, Zhang Zhidong, when he ran Huguang, Huguang was like an iron wall, and water could not be splashed. He took the decree of the imperial court when it was useful, and threw it into the trash if it was useless. Cixi didn't dare to do anything.

If Zaifeng had done the job, he would have invested money in the farm, but the governor would have taken it over. Then he really has no place to cry. Although the governor of Anhui may not do this, it does not mean that he will not do it. Zhang Zhidong is a lesson from the past.

Zhang Zhidong does not sell the face of Prince Zaifeng. Prince Zaifeng could only stare dryly. Even Cixi could only be "boiled" to death by Zhang Zhidong.

Hu Xiaoyan really didn't expect this situation, he wanted to sit in the position of governor of Anhui. But neither Cixi nor Zaifeng would agree.

"Tell me, why does this king want to help you?" Prince Alcohol Zaifeng put down the plan.

Hu Xiaoyan was speechless.

Out of Prince Alcohol's Mansion, Hu Xiaoyan took Huo Yuanjia and went straight to Li Hongzhang's house. Li Hongzhang is at home. He's at home.

Wait for Li Hongzhang to be asked.

Li Hongzhang smiled: "That kid is asking you for money!" You deserve to have such a big plan. According to him, to be able to prepare such a big plan, you have at least a few million taels in your hand. So give him at least 500,000 taels. ”

Hu Xiaoyan cried with a sad face: "How much money do I have, will you know?" Or? I won't pay the balance of Nie Dashuai's payment? ”

"Trick me poor?" Li Hongzhang patted the Wealth of Nations in his hand and sneered: "As long as you dare!" ”

Hu Xiaoyan immediately extinguished this thought.

He meowed. Lao Tzu buys arms for you, not only does he contribute money and effort, but he also can't please him.

Hu Xiaoyan saw Li Hongzhang squinting his eyes but was silent. I had to go back to the inn indignantly.

It took a long time before I saw Tao Chengzhang come back from outside. Tao Chengzhang was arranged by Hu Xiaoyan to go out to buy land, and he bought wasteland outside Beijing.

Tao Chengzhang saw that Hu Xiaoyan was depressed, so he asked Liu Min and Huo Yuanjia, and then he knew the reason. He laughed, "What's so hard about that? Can you still rely on Prince Alcohol's money? ”

Hu Xiaoyan immediately asked shamelessly.

Tao Chengzhang touched his beard: "I heard the little boy say that you are the son of Hu Guangyong." Right. ”

Hu Xiaoyan had no choice but to say yes.

Tao Chengzhang smiled happily: "I have been in Zhejiang for many years, and I heard that the Hu family is not doing well now, if it weren't for Hu Qingyutang's shopkeeper who gave the Hu family part of the dividends, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to live for a long time." And you have to have newspapers and universities and you don't have enough people. Let your brother go to work in Shanghai, you must be willing to do it. ”

That's true. Since Hu Xueyan's death, the Hu family has followed his last words and stopped doing business and being officials, so they cut off the source of funds. A large family wants to eat and drink, and they all ask for money, and the Hu family can't pull their faces to beg for help. It is still the big shopkeeper of Hu Qingyutang who remembers the old love and gives Hu Qingyutang a number of dividend shares, and the dividends are in place in time every year. The Hu family can gain a foothold in Hangzhou. But Hu Qingyutang's business has been mixed. When it's good, of course, the dividends will be more, and when the bad ones will be less. So the Hu family is actually living a tight life.

Although the Hu family is not in business or an official, their connections back then are still there. If they could pull down their faces, those business partners back then wouldn't let their benefactor's descendants beg for food, right? Businessmen in this era still value their own face.

"You let the eldest lady collect the debt?" Hu Xiaoyan would have jumped up if it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet.

Although Hu Xueyan fell, he did not collapse. No matter how he says, he is also a big businessman worth tens of millions. The fighting method of raw silk can't shake his foundation. The Empress Dowager Cixi who dealt a fatal blow to it. Cixi copied his Hu family.

The Hu family's home was raided, and of course it was over.

But we all know that Hu Xueyan's business philosophy is eight jars and seven lids. He borrowed money from someone else's house. Of course, others also borrowed money for others to pull.

When he fell, the man who lent him the money came to him and asked for it. Hu Xueyan had no choice but to give it all. This is how the Hu family's tens of millions were defeated. Plus Cixi's raid. The Hu family is completely finished.

But a lot of the money lent out by the Hu family has not been recovered. The reason is very simple, Hu's house has been raided. In other words, the Hu family has no backers.

Now that the Hu family's backers have fallen, Hu Xueyan has also died of illness. Then of course these people will not pay back the money. Moreover, with the fall of Fukang Qianzhuang and the copying of the Hu family, these IOUs will naturally be gone. So those people have no reason to pay back.

If you want money, you can also take out the IOU. Of course, the Hu family can't take it.

The Hu family can't take it out, but these borrowers can. But these people will definitely not come out. No one pushes their money out.

Tao Chengzhang is talking about the loans of these people. These borrowings, although not much, are in the millions. Most of them are money from other banks, and some of the loans from Fukang banks.

Hu Xiaoyan knew about this situation, and he had some IOUs at home in the UK. It was the family division fee that his father Hu Xueyan gave to him before he fell. At that time, Hu Xueyan's cash was almost all pressed on the raw silk, and there was not much cash, so he used the IOU to offset the account, and Hu Xueyan originally wanted to wait for the raw silk to be sold before changing it back. But he fell too quickly, and he deliberately forgot about these IOUs. Among them are two deposit notes from Shanghai Bank. This amount of money is only one million taels in total.

But as Hu Xiaoyan said, it is very fatal to let the eldest lady ask for debts. One hundred thousand taels of silver can attract these debtors.

"You're a backstage guy now!" Tao Chengzhang pointed in the direction of Li Hongzhang, "You go to Li Zhongtang to ask for a note, he won't refuse to give it." Anyway, these are the old things of more than ten years ago. It has nothing to do with him. ”

Hu Xiaoyan smiled bitterly: "No." I can't do anything to make my elders ugly. ”

Tao Chengzhang persuaded and persuaded. Hu Xiaoyan just didn't agree. He would rather go and ask for debts himself than ask the wives of the Hu family to go. In other words, he Hu Xiaoyan can be shameless, but his Hu family still needs face.

Tao Chengzhang left in a huff. He was also angry.

He meowed. It is the money that others owe him, and it is not the money he owes others, and the so-called debt repayment is a matter of course. Why is it as if he Hu Xiaoyan owes money to others? Tao Chengzhang really couldn't figure it out.

Hu Xiaoyan was also very helpless, didn't he want the money back? Think! But it doesn't work. His current backstage seems to be Li Hongzhang. But it was only wishful thinking on his part. The ghost knows why Li Hongzhang fell in love with him?

If Tao Chengzhang made this request before going to see Prince Alcohol Zaifeng, he might have agreed. But Prince Alcohol's refusal made him truly understand his situation.

Yes. Why should I help you? Why should I help you?

Prince Alcohol's words made Hu Xiaoyan completely recognize the stakes of officialdom.

No one has to help you. They are not obligated to help you. Li Hongzhang seemed to help him again. But take a look at how it helps. It's just a matter of writing a note to mobilize two martial arts masters, and do whatever you want. It's just a name for Prince Zaifeng, and he said it casually.

Does Li Hongzhang have any contribution to these two things? No! It's just a bit of ink and saliva. He saw that Hu Xiaoyan was Hu Xueyan's youngest son, so he helped him. It's a good thing to pay off.

But it would be different to ask Li Hongzhang to write a note to find those who owe money to ask for debts. It's going to be a drain on people! Which of those who owe money does not have a few ministers of the DPRK and China standing behind them?

The relationship between Hu Xiaoyan and Li Hongzhang is so good that Li Hongzhang can turn his face with the ministers of the court for his sake?

To be sure: no. And even if Li Hongzhang wrote a note. People just don't give it, what should you do? Using administrative power to enforce it? Who will listen to you? Servants? Magistrate? Or the prefect? You know they must not be the protégés of those people's backstage?

Li Hongzhang has a big face, but he hasn't reached the point where he has to confront those people for the sake of Hu Xiaoyan, who he just met.

Hu Xiaoyan would not be naïve to think that Li Hongzhang would be desperate to help him.

As he said, "There is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no hate without a reason." ”

Hu Xiaoyan has always believed in this.
