Seeing Zhang Shiheng, Qin Chuan's heart couldn't help but be hot, but he didn't want to show it, endured a tight pain on his buttocks, and laughed and joked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I said, Brother Chu Bao, you don't have a feast and drink at Li Zhongtang, why did you come to me so early? Don't you want to see Lao Tzu's jokes? ”

Zhang Shiheng ignored Qin Chuan, hurriedly approached to look at the injury on Qin Chuan's buttocks, and knew that there was no major problem, just some flesh injuries, so he completely relieved his heart, and threw the hot towel into Qin Chuan's hand with a flick of his hand.

"Look at your unfortunate face, it's better to hurry up and wipe it, maybe Li and they will come to see your injuries in a while, and then you, a big hero who loves soldiers like a son, will not look good."

Qin Chuan grabbed the towel and wiped his face indiscriminately, and threw the towel to Chu Yunfei, but his eyes looked at Zhang Shiheng and said with a grin.

"Brother Chu Bao, you four-grade master deliver me a towel, I can't afford it."

Zhang Shiheng glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "If you want to be beautiful, you think Lord Ben is willing." This is the towel that Sister-in-law Wu washed for you, but your kid is not hurting the place, so I reluctantly brought it in for you. If you want me to bring you tea and water and hand over the hand towel board, then you have to open your eyes one day, and wait until you are developed and sit in the seat of the superintendent. ”

Qin Chuan pouted: "Come on, I don't have any position to supervise it, and it's not uncommon for you to serve tea and water, but even if you have a conscience, watching me get beaten and find someone to move a stool, I can't even afford a soft cushion, so I froze on that cold stool for a long time." ”

When Qin Chuan said this, the angry Zhang Shiheng rolled his eyes, and said to Qin Chuan.

"Hey, I said that you kid really has no conscience, it's good to have a stool that didn't let your kid lie on the ground, and you still want to be cushioned? You walked around the ghost door for a while, and you didn't know it, and you still had the heart to behave. ”

Listening to Zhang Shiheng's unkind tone, Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile and asked Zhang Shiheng.

"Brother Chu Bao, what is Li Zhongtang's attitude after Desan enters?"

"What attitude?"

Zhang Shiheng snorted, and couldn't help but start counting Qin Chuan.

"Originally, Zhongtang intended to let you go, but you kid didn't appreciate it, as soon as Desan said your words, those Qiu Ba immediately blew up, and scolded you for being shameless, and they all teased Zhongtang to punish you severely."

Qin Chuan asked lightly: "Let me ask you what Li Zhongtang said?" ”

Zhang Shiheng knew that Qin Chuan was not happy, and sighed and said, "Ming Hong, you also have to compare your heart to your heart, if you are in that position in the middle hall, what will you do?" ”

Seeing that Qin Chuan was just staring at himself and didn't speak, obviously waiting to know Li Hongzhang's attitude, Zhang Shiheng shook his head with a wry smile.

"Ming Hong, this time Zhongtang thought that you were angry, and then he didn't hesitate, and just said it on the spot with a cold face as you wished, so there are these fifty military sticks."

Seeing that Qin Chuan's demeanor had not changed much, Zhang Shiheng sighed and said: "As soon as Zhongtang's words came out, most of those Qiu Ba were happy, but they scared my brother half to death. Fifty sticks are not much, but it depends on who fights and who beats. Those executioners of the Governor's soldiers and Goshha, each of them is very powerful, and you have offended the middle hall, this is one of them; Those Qiuba are all the way with these pro-soldiers and Goshha, and they will show mercy to your subordinates when they fight. What's more, if that bastard bastard had bad intentions and found those executioners of Goshha to do something, it would be a big deal. Those goshha really have to be heavy-handed, and one or two of the fifty sticks are enough to kill your boy. ”

"If I hadn't come out in a hurry to find the familiar foreman Goshha and give him 500 taels of silver tickets, even if it didn't cost your kid's life, it would be a lot of work to beat you half-disabled."

"Also, what you just said, I heard it outside the door, Yun Fei is right, your kid really didn't get so many sticks, I roughly counted, only about twenty, he overreported the amount for the sake of silver."

As soon as Zhang Shiheng's words were finished, not only Qin Chuan's heart was hot, but the temperature of the eyes of the people in the room looking at Zhang Shiheng also rose sharply.

"Lord Zhang, although it is a great kindness, we can't forget this kindness, the owner is inconvenient, I thank you for the owner!"

As soon as he saw Li Mingfang saluting him, Zhang Shiheng hurriedly went to pull Li Mingfang.

"Hey, I said Lao Li, what are you and ours, don't you treat me as an outsider when you hear you? Minghong's matter is my business, where can I thank you. ”

"Minghong, you said yes, right?"

Qin Chuan knew that Zhang Shiheng had always been greedy for money, and today he made a move for himself for 500 taels, which was really embarrassing for him.

Qin Chuan nodded and said: "What Chu Bao said is that he is my Qin Chuan's good brother, and he is his own person, so where can he use Xie Lai Xie." ”

Qin Chuan turned to Zhang Shiheng again, and said with a grin: "By the way, Chu Bao, there are still 500 taels of silver, which you voluntarily paid, and I won't make it up to you." ”

Qin Chuan didn't even shout Brother Chu Bao unconsciously, and directly called Chu Bao. Zhang Shiheng was born as a scholar and has been mixed in officialdom for many years, although it is a word difference, but he can hear the meaning, and he can't help but look up warmly in his heart.

"Lao Li, listen to it, or Minghong's words are useful, but I have always thought that it is this Aurora person."

"By the way, I see that it has been published in the "Oriental Times", in addition to saying that Ming Hong wants to hand over all the property behind him to the board of trustees of Aurora University, so as to educate the nation and open up the wisdom of the people, but also to list all the factories under Aurora in the form of stocks. I'm going to buy more shares and become a shareholder of Aurora. ”

Zhang Shiheng grinned and gently punched Li Mingfang: "Lao Li, if you want to thank me, then send a letter to Lord Ben in private, and see if Lord Ben wants to buy the stock of that factory." ”

As soon as Zhang Shiheng's voice fell, after a very soft but urgent sound of the floor slab, Gao Ying pushed the door in and reported in a low voice.

"Commander, Master Sheng has led General Manager Jia, Master Li and Master Li, and a chief military officer surnamed Xu to see you."

Sheng Xuanhuai is not as good as Zhang Shiheng, although Zhang Shiheng is also a member of the fourth grade, he can be easy-going, even if he is with Qin Chuan's people, he has no fight. But Sheng Xuanhuai is different from Zhang Shiheng, although Sheng Xuanhuai is easy-going and affectionate on the surface, he has a clear and lofty in his bones, which always makes people feel high.

Qin Chuan instructed Li Mingfang to greet him on his behalf, and at the same time motioned for everyone to withdraw.

Cao Maoxiang and the others had already bandaged Qin Chuan's wound at this time, and gently covered Qin Chuan with the quilt, Cao Maoxiang also led Zhu Rugan and Jin Dating to lead the doctors of the medical school to withdraw with everyone, and only Zhang Shiheng and Qin Chuan were left in the bedroom.

Sheng Xuanhuai is also familiar with Qinchuan here, and after a while, Sheng Xuanhuai pedaled upstairs alone and directly entered Qin Chuan's bedroom.

As soon as Sheng Xuanhuai came in, Qin Chuan, who was lying on the bed, said with a smile: "Lord Sheng, Li Zhongtang's subordinates are at today's banquet, and it's just that Chu Bao ran out, why did you, the celebrity in front of Li Zhongtang, run out?" ”

Seeing Qin Chuan's demeanor and knowing that his injuries were fine, Sheng Xuanhuai also relieved himself and smiled.

"I'm not a celebrity in front of the middle hall, and I'm not welcome with him now. Lord Zhou is concerned about your injury, and it just so happens that there are some things in the customs that need to be dealt with urgently, so he took leave from Zhongtang, so he came to you first. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai glanced at Zhang Shiheng and said with a smile: "Chu Bao, it's a shame that you are the nephew of Zhongtang, no one dares to chew your tongue in Zhongtang when you run in and out of Minghong, otherwise you will not be able to mix in the future." Ming Hong's injuries are fine, I guess you made the silver, right? ”

Zhang Shiheng smiled indifferently: "You also know that my errand in charge of the Machinery Bureau is an idle errand, and I don't have much to do with those Qiu Ba, and I can't hinder them, so they will go with them if they want to chew their tongues." I'm really worried about Ming Hong, if this God of Wealth is broken, where can I find this large amount of white silver. ”

Although Zhang Shiheng did not directly answer Sheng Xuanhuai's matter about making money for Qin Chuan, he had already made it clear in his words.

Sheng Xuanhuai nodded and said to Qin Chuan: "Ming Hong, fortunately, Chu Bao has taken care of you, and you have finally escaped this catastrophe, and Lord Zhou and I will be relieved." Also, don't blame me and Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou wants to avoid suspicion, it's not good to say things for you in public, but I am not treated in the middle hall, and it's better than nothing to talk about. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai said twice that he was not treated by Li Hongzhang, which made Qin Chuan a little strange, whether it was the historical materials he had seen before the crossing, or what he had heard and seen after the crossing, this Sheng Xuanhuai had always been deeply appreciated by Li Hongzhang! How could he not be treated by Li Hongzhang?

Although he thought about it in his heart, he didn't dare to continue on this topic, but just smiled and said: "Qin Chuan first thanked Lord Zhou and Lord Sheng for their care for Qin Chuan, you have always tried your best to maintain it, Qin Chuan knows in his heart, how can he blame you because of the situation at that time." ”

He turned to Zhang Shiheng and said, "Chu Bao, please call Sister-in-law Wu and serve tea to Master Shan." ”

Sheng Xuanhuai shook his hand and said: "I won't drink the tea, there is indeed an urgent matter waiting for me to deal with at the customs." Since you're fine, I'll just say a few words and leave, and besides, Xu Jiannong and the three of them are still waiting to see you in the hall downstairs. ”

The Xu Jiannong mentioned by Sheng Xuanhuai is Xu Bangdao, the chief soldier of Xuzhou Town and the commander who is now stationed in the military grain city.

"That's right."

Sheng Xuanhuai looked at Qin Chuan with a smile: "Ming Hong, you are a good bachelor today, I came all the way, and I heard many idlers and gangsters on the street in the sedan chair full of praise for you, it is estimated that no gangsters dare to make trouble in front of you, even if you come to the East Street, they have to take off their flower shoes." ”

Qin Chuan was thinking about "modesty" a few words, but Sheng Xuanhuai put away his smile and looked at Qin Chuan and said in a solemn tone.

"Minghong, Lord Zhou said, if your injuries are fine, he will come back in a few days, let me send you a message first."

Hearing that Zhou Fu had something to say, Qin Chuan also put away his smile: "Lord Shan, please speak." ”

"Ming Hong, Lord Zhou wants me to tell you: those who become great tools need to be patient, the origin of personal authority, or the decisiveness of killing, or the combination of grace and power, these many things are imperceptibly obtained over time, not overnight, overnight. I want you not to learn from those who sell their fame and reputation, so clever and risky can never be two, you should take this as a warning, otherwise I am afraid that it will be a lifelong regret. ”

Zhou Fu's words clearly meant that Qin Chuan wanted to buy the hearts of the army. Knowing that he was seen through his thoughts, Qin Chuan couldn't help but blush slightly.

Seeing that Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed, Sheng Xuanhuai smiled and turned around to say goodbye, walked to the door and stopped again, turned around and said with a smile.

"Ming Hong, yesterday Mr. Zhou read the news contained in the "Oriental Times" that you donated all your property to the board of directors of "Aurora University", and also said a word to me, saying that you are so young and so resolute in doing things, you can't do it without great wisdom, and your achievements in the future are definitely not comparable to others. The fact that you were able to escape this catastrophe today has a lot to do with it. ”

The reason why Qin Chuan made such an arrangement was to dispel the idea of people who coveted his huge wealth, and this was also to protect himself. Sheng Xuanhuai said that his escape from this catastrophe had something to do with this incident, but he couldn't help but make Qin Chuan's heart move. If such an arrangement is not made, as long as he dies, all his property will be ownerless, and it will not be slaughtered and divided.

No, it's not all ownerless, at least Li Jingfang, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zhou Fu, Zhang Shiheng, Wu Tiaoqing, and other people with shares will be the first to grab the maximum benefits.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly rejoice, grandma's, fortunately Lao Tzu thought earlier, otherwise he really wouldn't have lost his "old" life this time.

"Oh."

Sheng Xuanhuai changed to a solemn tone and said to Qin Chuan: "You posted it in the newspaper, saying that you are also going to set up a stock exchange in the concession like Shanghai, and you will issue stocks in all the factories under your name in the first month, which can be traded and traded there." You can remember, it is a good deal to buy those stocks, but you have to tell me and Zhou Daren the news first. ”

"Also, let me inform you that I will go to Shanghai in a few days to conclude a contract for the transportation of ships between China Merchants and Jardine Matheson and Swire; In addition, the burned Shanghai weaving layout will also be restored, and the central hall has asked the imperial court to appoint me to supervise it. When I leave, I will deposit the money I am going to buy stocks in your Aurora Bank, and you can buy it for me when the time comes. ”

Looking at the back of Sheng Xuanhuai, who walked out of the bedroom in a dashing manner, Qin Chuan asked Zhang Shiheng suspiciously.

"Chu Bao, Sheng Xingsun said that he was not allowed to see Li Zhongtang, is this true?"

Zhang Shiheng grinned, nodded with a wry smile.

After being confirmed, Qin Chuan was even more surprised: "Why again?" ”

Zhang Shiheng sighed and said: "I don't know what kind of madness this Sheng Xingsun has, in the past six months, he has made several speeches to the Zhongtang, not only do he have to invite Liu Ming, who has returned home, but also the Zhongtang Committee Liu Ming has the important task of bringing various Beiyang subordinates outside the Guanxi traditionally." Say that there will be a big war in Liaodong, once the war starts, it is not enough for Liu Mingchuan to maintain Yunyun. Zhongtang and Liu Mingchuan have a bit of a holiday, so they won't agree. I don't want this Sheng Xingsun to give up, and I crossed the middle hall several times and went directly to the court to recommend Liu Mingchuan, which made the middle hall disliked。。。。。。 ”

Although Zhang Shiheng still had some words unspoken, what he had just said made Qin Chuan couldn't help but be surprised. He really didn't expect that Sheng Xuanhuai not only saw that there would be a war with the Japanese, but also keenly saw that once the war started, there would be no one in the Beiyang departments outside the Guanxi who had enough reputation to command in a unified manner, and those Beiyang troops would be scattered sand fighting for their own battles.

According to Qin Chuan's understanding, the Sino-Japanese naval battle was not a problem of insufficient training or technical tactics of the Beiyang naval division, but indeed inferior weapons. But the battle on land, although there are many reasons, but the Beiyang tribes are not subject to the command, which is an obvious main reason. (To be continued.) )
