In Hangzhou, the pace of Lin Haifeng's work has been significantly accelerated. At present, the bureaus of finance and taxation, education, security, industry, commerce, agriculture, labor and personnel, and justice, as well as the customs and publication bureaus, under the Shanghai government, have been set up and are up and running. At this time, he gave up the post of director of the Shanghai Special Military Control Commission to Liu Lichuan.

After Su Sanniang received the order to transfer her to Shanghai, she didn't sleep well that night when she was excited, and after handing over to Zhang Chaojue, who succeeded her, she immediately rushed to Shanghai non-stop.

She was the deputy director of the Navy Management Commission, responsible for security, justice, and labor and personnel, and the new industrial zone in Songjiang was also handed over to her. Hearing these arrangements, Su Sanniang was not the slightest happy, because what she didn't expect was that King An would leave Shanghai tomorrow for southern Zhejiang. I haven't seen each other for almost a year, and when I first met, how can I be ......

"Your Highness, these are the shoes that Granny Yue asked me to bring you, and this is the tobacco that Mr. Gu gave you, they miss you very much, and Granny Yue is still looking forward to you going to her house as a guest." Su Sanniang opened the package she was carrying, holding the same things, and finally she took out a pair of wool socks, "This is ...... This is a sock woven for you by my own twisted cow hair, which is made in the style of the Tianjing military clothing factory, and it will be warmer when I wear this when I ride a horse when it is cold in the future. She tried her best to pretend to be very casual, but her nose felt sour.

"Hehe, thank you, I really didn't expect that the female general of the storm would be so skillful." Lin Haifeng took the pair of slightly fat socks, looked at them repeatedly, put the shoes made by Granny Yue on his feet, stood up and walked two steps, "Hehe, it really fits, strange, how did the old man know the size of my feet?" ”

"Granny Yue is a caring person." Su Sanniang looked at King An and said affectionately.

"yes, it's really hard for the old man's mind." Lin Haifeng sighed, and then asked, "How is the old man's health and life?" That Yue Dalong did a good job, right? ”

"Yes, all good." Su Sanniang smiled slightly, "At the beginning of the Yangzhou Defense War, Yue Dalong and the peasant army that led their township participated in the battle to defend Yangzhou, and he was wounded, but he was already well. The land in Grandma-in-law's house is the same as everyone else, and the harvest is good. Granny Yue also fed two little piglets, and said that they would be slaughtered when you went next time. ”

"Go, if you have the opportunity, you must go and see their mother and son." Lin Haifeng smiled, "Hey, you didn't care about Yue Dalong's personal problems? ”

Su Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled, "Of course you have to care, I introduced him to a female worker who worked in Mr. Gu's leather factory, a widow, the man used to be from our heavenly army, and he died in battle when he attacked Zhenjiang." The two get along well. However, people said that His Royal Highness personally agreed to eat other people's wine. ”

"Okay, okay, I promised, I promised." Lin Haifeng smiled happily, "I just don't know if they can wait." ”

"Your Highness, do you want to fight all the way to Guangdong?"

"Depends on how the situation develops."

"Let's come back sooner." Su Sanniang lowered her head and fiddled with the belt of her robe.

"Oh, why?"

"Actually, in fact, as long as Fujian is a little, our east and west roads can join hands to march into Guangzhou, and it is enough for Lin Fengxiang to preside over them in front." Su Sanniang raised her head and said seriously, "Say it again...... Besides, I don't know anything about the Oriental Company at all, where is the good management. ”

Lin Haifeng smiled, "Just like the land reform that must be carried out at the beginning, the top priority of the Celestial Empire in the future is to develop new industries, and everyone must learn from them." If you don't know it, you're not afraid, you can do it in school, you can learn by doing, everything has a first time. As long as you want to do it, there is nothing you can't do. You say yes, right? ”

Su Sanniang nodded lightly.

"Besides, Tianjing and King Ning, Dongfang Company is our family, and I can rest assured that you will come to see the house. In addition, I have a good assistant for you, and he will be here in a moment. Before his words could land, the door was opened, and Liu Xianghe appeared at the door.

"Your Highness, your guest is here."

"Look at it, it's really about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Lin Haifeng hurriedly stood up with a smile and gave up the seats of the people who came in. Then he introduced to Su Sanniang, "His name is Qiao Yu, he just turned thirty-five this year, he is a military expert trained by our Tianjing Ordnance Institute, and he is a generation of smelting craftsmen." Don't underestimate him, the first rifle of our Celestial Empire was pulled out by him and Qi Nong by hand. β€œ

Then, he turned his head to Qiao Yu and pointed at Su Sanniang, "See, this is the well-known heroine General Su, who has a big temper, and even this king is afraid of her." ”

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Su Sanniang's face flushed.

"Haha, don't talk, don't laugh, don't be lively." Lin Haifeng returned to his chair and sat down, "I won't talk about it more, the daily work of Dongfang Company is presided over by Qiao Yu, and the important issue must be agreed by Su Sanniang." In addition, I still emphasize the point I said before, we must be good at learning, in the stage of equipment installation and commissioning, we must organize workers, learn from French experts with an open mind, open night schools, earnestly study culture, and learn the technical textbooks compiled by King Ning. The Celestial Empire has spent so much effort that it can't be exchanged for a pile of scrap iron that is not of great use. I hope that when I come back, Shanghai will be a real and completely different place. ”

"Alright, that's all, there's a farewell banquet for me tonight, Your Excellency ChargΓ© d'Affaires Bourblon, and you all come with me." Lin Haifeng said, shouted and called into Liu Xianghe, and tilted his head to look at Su Sanniang, "Dress up brightly at night, by the way, Sanniang, you and Liu Shangshu's official hats don't wear, tie some red, green, and green headbands in your hair, so that others can look warmer." ”

The former concession and today's expatriate area were originally a group of people leaving, but then more people came. The number of business expatriates from various countries has increased from more than 500 before the war to nearly 3,000, and with a large number of technicians who have come with a steady stream of equipment, the overseas areas have become much more prosperous than before.

The old foreign businessmen had carefully calculated their accounts in private. In the past, the rent of the houses rented here was almost equal to zero, but now the Chinese themselves use the land for nothing, and their land rent has been raised. But when you think about it deeply, all the Chinese people get is their own homesteads, and the houses they build are only enough for their own use, and they cannot be used for sale at all. And what about the house you built? Not to mention that compared to normal trade, this rent is nothing, but once you don't want it, more and more people who come here to pan for gold have already raised their housing prices.

What else is lost? Privileges, smuggling, privileges for illegal transactions, privileges for tax evasion, privileges for lawlessness. However, no true merchant would bet entirely on these aspects of trade. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is only a temporary happiness, and it is a kind of happiness that is always a little apprehensive. They have all seen with their own eyes that those who once relied on opium smuggling for a while have been overjoyed, bankrupt, and even more who love money and do not want to die and finally leave their lives here.

How ruthless was that King An of the Celestial Empire? No one who has never seen it can never imagine it. He is not afraid to offend anyone, any country, as long as you involve opium, the original property in Shanghai is confiscated is only a small amount, followed by extortion similar to "bandits", you can't take out the things you have obtained, just one word, "kill"!

Now, in the expatriate area, although he is the same as the Chinese residents around him, he must abide by the laws of the Celestial Empire in the same way, and there is no arrogance that can be domineering. However, between the unfree, there is more freedom, and they can go in and out of any area controlled by the Celestial Empire at will, buying or selling products. There are many opportunities to make money, it depends on how you came to it. Can you blame that King An for his ferocity? Or is it better to do business in a down-to-earth manner, Qichang and Angel Commercial Firm are role models, they have been fined in the past, and they are also dissatisfied, but now? Now it's all about money.

The Shanghai government is still very fair. No, from the very beginning, the Shanghai government has sent a signal to businessmen that the best and fastest money-making industry is talent intermediaries, and if they can introduce educated and capable people to work in China, then there will be money. The more knowledgeable and capable the person who comes, the higher the intermediary fee you get. As a result, mushrooms have sprung up, and dozens of intermediaries have sprung up in the expatriate area. Not only that, but the value of Chinese tutors in the expatriate area immediately doubled.
