He smiled bitterly twice, and talked about the past, when the governor of Liangjiang was still one of his three talents, Duan Fang Duan. The pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info he is also a Jinshi family, likes ancient books, and Xu Shaozhen has to be regarded as like-minded friends. But the problem lies in the common hobby, Duan Fang took a fancy to Xu Shaozhen's several treasures and wanted to buy them, but Xu Shaozhen was unwilling to part with love. The two of them became suspicious because of this, turned friends into enemies, and did not interact with each other, which really hurt their friendship.

Even Duan Fang gave Xu Shaozhen a very bad comment when he was in office, if it wasn't for the fact that he was running a new army, and Xu Shaozhen had the experience of studying in Fusang, the control of the ninth town, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to sit.

Xu Shaozhen said: "When I studied in Fusang, I once looked at the collection of books in the Fusang Library, and found that most of them were ancient books in China, and many of them were rare books, which were owned overseas, but not in China. What is the reasoning behind this? After I made a careful investigation, I learned that Fusang had specially selected capable personnel from the state to collect rare books and books in our country, buy them with a lot of money, or design cheating. There are also unscrupulous descendants in China, greedy for foreigners' thick coins, and sell the books left by their ancestors, and in the long run, our country's culture is not as prosperous as foreigners. China is a big country with a long history of civilization, but when it comes to ancient books, you can only see them in foreign countries. My descendants of Yan and Huang, what kind of face do you have? It is because I poured out everything and collected ancient books, not for personal wealth but for my Chinese culture, to leave a point of vitality. ”

Chen Lenghe couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this, "That's right, I have also seen our ancient Chinese books in the library in London, but they are not allowed to borrow and copy them because they are rare books." But I don't understand, you sell the book to Duanfang, isn't it the same? ”

"It's not the same. The uncle of that class bought books purely to show off the façade and show his talents. Even if Duan Fang is a talented man, he is actually not so strong, and when the book falls into his hands, it will only be shelved and kept secret. Or when three or five confidants have a drink, take it out and boast about it. If it is seen by foreigners, or because of thick coins, or because of something to ask for, they will definitely cut their love. The books in my collection are not treasured by myself, but for researchers to consult, and ask people of insight to transcribe and restore, looking forward to the day when I will excavate and complete the ancient books of China. I will not sell to foreigners, let alone cherish myself, there is not much difference between selling books to Duanweng and selling them to foreigners, I can lose my official position, and I will not lose my books. ”

Zhao Guanhou asked: "In that case, why is Zhen Shuai willing to use ancient books as a mortgage?" With Jinguo's current finances, no one can guarantee that you will be able to repay the loan in half a year. I think it's better to use the method of army control. ”

"I know that both official and private are good ways to settle down. But Guanshuai, think about it, after Anpu made a loan for me, what did he pay back to the bank? Since the defeat of Goryeo, China's financial resources have been on the verge of exhaustion, even in the land of the source of the two rivers, there is no way to levy and distribute, and the rest is to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes. As I expected, Anpu will make a fuss about the salt tax in Yangzhou and increase the salt tax in order to raise military salaries for me. But the salt merchants will not suffer out of thin air, and must pass on the money to the people. In order to pay the compensation, the people apportioned the compensation, and their livelihood was already very difficult, if in order to support the ninth town, they would continue to bear the cost, so that they didn't know how to eat, how could I bear it? ”

He got up and said: "My generation of soldiers takes it as their responsibility to protect the territory and the people, and does not serve as soldiers for one family or one surname, but only fights to defend the country and the people." Allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment is the real duty of soldiers. If the livelihood of the people is difficult because of the settlement of the military salary in the ninth town, it will be contrary to the original intention. As long as Xu is in power for one day, he will protect the people for one day, and I would rather go bankrupt than let the people suffer because of me. Anpu Gaoyi, I am grateful in my heart, but I can only appreciate this kindness, not accept it, and I still have to find another way to pay for it. It is not necessarily a bad thing to hand over ancient books to the bank for safekeeping, I believe that since Guanshuai is willing to set up a library in Jinan, he is not a person who regards books as a mustard, and ancient books will be properly protected in your hands. ”

Zhao Guanhou invited him to sit down again, and asked again: "Zhen Shuai, in fact, I think the matter of your military salary is a trivial matter, and the main thing is that it is a misunderstanding. If you had restrained the behavior of your subordinates, perhaps the misunderstanding would not have been so big. ”、

"My subordinates haven't done anything wrong, and they can't talk about restraint. I bind the troops, the people who use them, the military law. Soldiers are subject to military law, and I will never spare those who violate military law. However, they read books and newspapers and understand the principles of life, which does not contradict military law, so how can I restrain them. As for what Anpu thinks, turning soldiers into slaves who only know how to obey, who do not understand the principles of being a human being, who do not know right and wrong, good and evil, and who know nothing but obeying orders, such troops will only be sharp blades in the hands of tyrants, not guardians of the people, and I will never let the troops become like that. ”

Chen Lenghe listened with it and said, "Zhen Shuai, I'll figure out a way for your military salary." After Shandong Zhengyuan opens, you send someone to withdraw the money, and I will write a check to you. 300,000 yuan is allocated in advance, and you don't need to use any collateral, as long as you put a name thorn in the envelope and seal the mouth, it is considered collateral. With you, I'm sure you won't break your word. ”

Xu Shaozhen was stunned: "Didn't I become a Ding Gong Bao, as clothes?" Looking at Zhao Guanhou again, he didn't think that his aunt could be in charge of the house to such a point, and Shandong Zhengyuan could only have the final say on Zhao Guanhou.

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Zhen Shuai, Leng He is the chairman of Shandong Zhengyuan Bank, her opinion is the bank's opinion, I will not overturn this proposal." That's it, remember to send your cronies to the bank to withdraw money when the time comes. ”

As soon as this matter was finalized, Xu Shaozhen was also overjoyed, and actually got up and saluted the two of them, "On behalf of Jiangning's father, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town, thank you." The crown commander is the person who leads the troops, so he naturally knows the importance of military salary. If a soldier is not paid, he will have an accident, either to disturb the people or to become a deserter. The ninth town is a soldier, if it is because there is no pay, and it is necessary to harm Sangzi, there will be no face to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future. Guanshuai preserved their face in front of their fathers and elders, and also saved a mouthful of food for the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Town, this kindness, Xu will never forget. ”

Zhao Guanhou originally wanted to stay for dinner, but Xu Shaozhen shook his head again and again, "My subordinates still can't eat, how can I, as the chief official, eat big dishes outside." The delicacies of the mountains and the sea, for me, are like sugar and arsenic, which is really hard to swallow. When the officers and soldiers of my ninth town are fully clothed and fed, I will set up a table of my own and invite the crown commander to use wine. ”

Seeing Xu Shaozhen away, Chen Lenghe was also a little embarrassed, not as lively as yesterday, and he didn't have a temperament, but looked at Zhao Guanhou and asked, "I...... You really don't get angry about the decision I just made? ”

"You are the chairman, if you don't even have this power, what will you do in the future. It doesn't matter what you think, just do what you decide. Of course, this decision is subject to discussion by the management, and it is not the style of a joint-stock bank that you are acting arbitrarily. This time the number is not big, you can just decide, they don't agree, I can also support you with money, don't agree so recklessly in the future. If you don't keep what you've said, you'll lose credibility. ”

"No...... That's not what I mean, I mean, don't you think women should do things according to men's arrangements? ”

"How can there be such a thing, when Lafayette was alive, which man dared to arrange her? I don't have this kind of thought, and I understand your thoughts, you think Xu Shaozhen is a good person and want to help him, this is normal, it proves that my Leng He has a conscience and is a capitalist whose conscience has not been exhausted, this is a good thing, why should I be angry. ”

"Phew! You've lost all your conscience. I...... I just feel that in Daikin officialdom, the first time I see such a good person, I can't help him, and I can't go down. Besides, if I press him a famous thorn, I will lend him a loan, and this matter will naturally spread, and in Jiangning, it will also have a good reputation. To do the financial industry, reputation is very important, with reputation, there is no worry that no one will do business for us, and the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages for the future development of the Songjiang market. ”

"Sure enough, there is no business or treachery, your abacus beads are very shrewd, and I have nothing to worry about."

"In Albion's school, compassion is not taught, I just have compassion and conscience. Big guy, you still need to learn a lot, and you're not ready to prepare, accompany Miss Ben to the Confucius Temple, and if you don't leave, I don't know who will come to see you later. ”

The two stayed in Jiangning for a long time, but they didn't wait to see the scenery of Qinhuai, so they took the train back to Songjiang. The reason is that the ground in Jiangning has shown signs of instability, and there is a long queue in front of every operating bank.

For the sake of a position, or a number plate, it is not surprising that fights and brawls are common. Zhao Guanhou sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that Jiangning's money village had closed down by one-third because of the influence of Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan. The rest of the money banks that have opened have a tendency to run on money.

In order to prevent the closure of the remaining bank, the governor of Liangjiang issued a proclamation, stipulating that each person should take up the upper limit of silver per day, and not too much. But the common people are worried that their savings will be overpaid, so how can they be willing to take only so little? As a result, there are often families who line up separately to get more money. Even reselling queue number plates, or helping people dredge, collecting a sum of money, to ensure that you can get more cash to make a living, is also popular.

In the Confucius Temple, although there is no such thing as the City God Temple, a large number of people sell themselves, but the market is far less prosperous than before. Many well-dressed people have sad faces, and the topics they talk about are how to get their money out of the bank, or who to borrow cash from to solve their financial problems.

Chen Lenghe knew that at this time, he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to step up his actions. By the time the group returned to Songjiang from Jiangning, the bank and Shantang had already had most of their eyebrows. The two were originally carried out at the same time, stamped here, and began to prepare there, and when the business was in hand, it could be listed immediately.

A number of female employees have also been recruited. There are more than 50 people in total, most of them are students of Songjiang local girls' schools, and in the face of the financial turmoil, they have been reduced from a small family to a beautiful family to a penniless person, and some even fall into Pingkang and eat in Huile. It's all up to Pinxiang Lao Si to contact them and redeem them, and with such a job opportunity, it is naturally impossible to ask for it.

Their training will be organized by Mrs. Jensen, and some of them will be selected to serve as managers, but the main managers will have to be left to the people of Jenson Warby Bank. This is also limited by experience and ability, and Chen Lenghe has nothing to say. In short, the shelf has been erected, and only when it gradually develops in the future can we consider changing the general.

Not long after the two arrived home, guests came to visit outside the villa, and when they saw the business card, Zhao Guanhou laughed. "Old friend, I really didn't expect him to come."

"Old friend, I'm really glad to see you, and now you will continue to write a legend in Songjiang, and I, as your exclusive reporter, can record everything you do in Songjiang. I really can't wait to know that everything you did in Matsue led to the bankruptcy of Daosheng Bank, and if I lose this report, God will punish me. Oh...... Is this your new wife? It's so beautiful, I completed a financial adventure, I gained the heart of a beauty, and I think this experience is also a good subject to sell to a film company. ”

It was the newspaperman Luo Li who praised Zhao Guanhou in the concession, who had previously relied on the report of the Gengzi National Disaster and the publication of his autobiography for Zhao Guanhou, and achieved great fame in Albiang and earned a lot of money. In the past two years, he has also made several reports in Shandong, because of the relationship with Zhao Guanhou, he can always grasp the first-hand core information, and he has become famous in the newspaper industry, and the cooperative relationship between the two has become more and more solid.

This time, he came to the door, but he was actually entrusted by Albiang's minister Zhu Erdian to come to Songjiang to support the scene for Zhao Guanhou. Although London passed on the losses of the stock storm to the head of the Jin State, Zhu Erdian, as the minister to China, also needed to consider the interests of Albiang businessmen in China. Zhao Guanhou's rescue of the city in Songjiang was of great benefit to the merchants of Albiang, and for him, it was also very welcome.

On the other hand, if someone sabotages this kind of bailout or even restricts it, Zhu Erdian is naturally very dissatisfied, and entrusts Rodley to do an exclusive interview, which is to show his attitude and prove that the Albiang Mansion is on the side of Zhao Guanhou. Even if the Dajin Imperial Court has any moves, it is necessary to consider Albiang's position.

Chen Lenghe was in London, and he had read the report of Zhao Guanhou written by Rodley, but at that time it was regarded as a legendary story, and he did not believe it in his bones. I don't want to make people worse, but now that I have become Mrs. Songjiang of Zhao Guanhou, I am a little more polite to Rodley.

As soon as Rodley arrived, there was news to be done, and he himself was happy. After hearing that Zhao Guanhou took out the plan to use the proceeds from the gambling Daosheng Bank to save the market, he thought about it for a while

"You give me a day to do this, and I want to make a time difference and give priority to the news in The Times, which is an explanation to the newspaper. As for the return, you entrusted it to me to do the publicity of this matter, to ensure that your yamen did a good job, and you took out such a large sum of money, and you should be praised and rewarded reciprocated. Moreover, you also have to consider the attitude of your country's imperial court, in the capital, there are many people who have suffered serious losses in this turmoil. I don't know how many people will be blushing when they see this money, but after we Albion announced that we would join, no one would want to touch a penny here. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "Brother, I believe in your ability, this matter is so decided, it just so happens, I also have something to ask you to help with." Leng He has an older brother, who was originally the editor of the declaration......"

The capital, in the palace of the alcohol king.

Zhang Xiangtao is old after all, and after vomiting blood this time, he never survived. Just a few days ago, this famous minister of Dajin left a sentence of my life's academic and curing arts, only four or five out of ten, and my mental skills were the most upright.

Originally, a famous minister like him passed away, which was nothing more than a routine funeral and funeral, and there was nothing to say. But the problem is that Zhang Xiangtao's death, King Xiao Gong's side, there are already rumors that the regent made Zhang Xiangtao angry to death.

The reputation of the angry old minister has made Cheng Feng unbearable, and what worries him even more is that King Xiao Gong is in trouble about the Songjiang stock market crash. Repeatedly handed over the fold, asking to check the accounts of the army and navy to see if any ministers had embezzled the ministry funds to invest in the stock market, or put them in the money bank to earn interest.

The Empress Dowager Longyu in the palace also took the opportunity to make trouble, and recently imitated the idea of loving and hanging the curtain, attacking both internally and externally, and almost eating fried eggs, which made Chengfeng feel exhausted, and really wanted to shout: I won't do it! hung up the crown and left, but as the emperor's biological father, this is something that can never be done.

The successive blows threw him on the bed angrily, and the people under his door collected official newspapers and overseas newspapers from all over the world to show him, hoping to find some good news. A series of official newspapers, all of which were written in succession, wrote about the bankruptcy and bankruptcy of Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan, as well as a series of chain reactions, Cheng Feng only felt that his eyes were black. I vaguely felt that I had made a big mistake, but I didn't know what the mistake was.

When I turned to the Chinese version of The Times, I saw a photo of Zhao Guanhou on the first page, and the accompanying text was: Zhao Guanhou, the governor of Shandong, said that he would withdraw 8 million taels of silver from the profits obtained from the gambling of Daosheng Bank to save the Songjiang market. The Albion Government expressed its support for this kind act and will instruct Consul General Songjiang to provide full assistance to ensure the stability of the financial order, the prosperity of the market, and the absence of humanitarian disasters.

When Cheng Feng saw this, he only felt a tightness in his chest, opened his mouth violently, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the newspaper fell to the ground weakly. The blood contaminated the paper, covering most of the text, and under Zhao Guanhou's name, there was a large pool of blood. (To be continued.) )
