Chapter 318: The Wind Rises in Liaodong

The policing in the capital is not as good as Shandong, although there is a prince of Shanqi and Zhao Guanhou, a veteran who is proficient in the skills of police investigation in later generations, it is difficult to implement it in work. In the final analysis, the pen, fun and pavilion www.biquge.info is the banner man in the capital, far more than Shandong.

In Shandong, they used police to recruit from the army and then from ordinary people. In the capital, the source of police officers is far less outstanding than Shandong. Immediately, too many flag people were added, and many of them had eight lines, and they came by trust, and they only wanted to mix Lu rice when they entered the team, and they didn't want to work.

Although the livelihood of these banner people is mostly difficult, they still maintain that shelf. It is really harder to let them patrol the streets with knives and sticks, or to smile at people, not to laugh, not to speak, and not to scold them back, it is really harder than killing them. Besides, most of these people have hibiscus fetishes, they have to eat cigarettes when the time comes, and they don't have a few hours to work every day, and it is difficult to require police style and discipline, so the training of them is not very effective, and the progress is slow.

Zhao Guanhou, the assistant, because he is a deputy position, has shirked his responsibilities, but Shanqi, the general office, is not a person inside and out. The last dynasty was about to be questioned by the queen mother, and in the clan, it was said that he buried the flag man and was not a son of man, which made him angry and wanted to vomit blood.

In addition, he had another incident that also offended many people. His mansion was burned down in the previous riots, and in order to fill his shortfall, Cixi specially appointed him as the tax supervisor of Chongwenmen. This is a fat shortage left over from the old age, and it takes no effort to get hundreds of thousands of silver every year. However, Shanqi refused to be greedy for money, but instead investigated the accumulated evils, dug out all the people who handled them below, and prepared to hand them over to the national treasury.

This time, those ministers are dissatisfied with him, this errand can only be used for one year, this year he does this, who will take over next year? It is because of the complaints in the imperial court, and the moral politics that were originally effective in Shandong cannot be implemented in the capital.

In addition to the police force, they also followed the example of Shandong to set up a fire brigade and purchased "foreign dragons" from foreign companies, as well as water trucks and other items for training and fire danger. This was originally a very good thing, but Shanqi bought 50 smoothbore guns from Prussia as equipment for the fire brigade in addition to buying water dragons. On the 15th day of junior high school, it is not to shoot pigeons, birds, or rabbits.

As soon as the news reached Zhao Guanhou's ears, he decided that he was afraid that he would not be able to cooperate with Shanyi again and again. His intentions for this fire brigade are definitely not so simple, and if he mixes with him again, he is suspected of being dragged into the water. At this time, it was close to August 15, he simply asked for a price, only kept Gao Sheng to look at the house, took Cuiyu and Fengzhi by himself, and went directly to Jinmen by train.

Revisiting the old place, Jiang Fengzhi was extremely excited. The three of them first went to visit Li Rongqing, sat at Li's house for a while, and asked about the situation in Jinmen.

Since Yuan Weiting was appointed as the direct governor and the foreigners handed over the management rights, the situation in Jinmen gradually improved, and the vitality of the Quartet Wharf was gradually restored. Merchants from all walks of life have come one after another, and it is still a large wharf for floods and droughts.

The life of the gangsters is much sadder than in the past, Yuan Weiting, as a direct governor, holds the power of life and death, and has the signboard of suppressing boxers and bandits, and a word can almost decide life and death. Gangsters like Li Rongqing can only bow their heads and be people, Hou Xing and others can still survive by relying on the Li family, but most of the gangsters can only find ways to make a living on their own, or lie dormant for the time being, waiting for the opportunity.

Another change is that the officials have changed to police investigations, and they are subject to military law, so they dare not act arbitrarily, and the order of the market has been revitalized. With the foundation of the Yamen of the past Jinmen, the citizens can gradually live in peace, business can operate normally, and the city can be maintained. Finally, it is a rare act of kindness that the road becomes clean, there is no leakage on the road, and the air becomes fresh.

Zhao Guanhou wrote a letter to Hou Xing, asking him to take a group of old brothers to join Yuan Weiting. Gangsters have become patrols, not only have income, but also have no major loss of face, after all, they are still mixed on the streets and do business in this business.

The three of them said goodbye from the Li family, and went around shopping in a foreign car, and when they came out, Jiang Fengzhi held two big bags in her arms, bought a bunch of various groceries, and held a rose mooncake with four yuan fragrance in her mouth. She said a silk cheongsam, covered with foreign silk shoulders, this kind of rich wife's outfit, the image of holding a moon cake in her mouth, made countless passers-by look sideways.

Cuiyu gently tugged her arm, "You quickly spit out the mooncakes, so that people can see and laugh at you." ”

Feng Zhi put the moon cake in his hand, "You don't know, I used to like to eat Siyuanxiang's moon cakes the most." But it's too expensive, we have to calculate and eat, I thought at the time, if one day, this mooncake tube is enough, open and eat casually, I will live a good life. Now that I've had a good life, don't I have to eat enough? Whoever likes to watch who watches, I'm not afraid, junior brother, right? ”

Zhao Guanhou reluctantly took the bag in her hand, "I should take a basket and detain you." There is no honesty at all, learn from Sister Hanzhi, and be steady. ”

"No, learning from her is the same as her, then you just think about her, you can't think of me. I'm just different from her, so you can remember me. I still want to give you a baby soon, and be like Sister Yuqing, how good. I can also listen to you shout, if you don't protect the adults or the children, it's worth it when you die. ”

Yuqing's birth was quite dangerous, it was a difficult birth when she was born, she shouted hoarsely to protect the child, but Su Hanzhi, as the hostess, ordered that the adult must be protected. In the end, thanks to Mrs. Nathan, who opened a church hospital, helped deliver the baby, the mother and daughter were safe. The fly in the ointment was that she gave birth to a daughter, which made Yuqing feel very uncomfortable, and in the few letters that came, she was also very sad and sad.

Zhao Guanhou has always believed in the equality of men and women, and has no resistance to his daughter, and has left instructions to protect the big and not the small in case of danger, which has moved several women in the family. As soon as Feng Zhi mentioned this, Cuiyu's heart also felt warm. said softly: "Yes, I really want to be like Shigege, and break through the ghost gate for you." ”

"What nonsense, what kind of ghost door is not closed, I took you out to play, not to play with your life. Let's go, let's go to the concession and watch Jenson go. ”

When Jiang Fengzhi heard Jensen's name, she hesitated a little, "I'll go back to the store, I don't have anything to say to this foreign woman." As soon as I saw her, I remembered that my father had killed her with a foreign gun. ”

"Sister Fengzhi, it wasn't her who killed the old man, why did you do this? You are like this, but you will make it difficult for the crown marquis, and it will be difficult for me to be a man in the middle at that time. Cuiyu persuaded and said in her ear: "If you don't go, I won't go, the two of them must be thunderous when they meet." Then you won't see his people for three days. ”

Feng Zhi nodded when she heard this, "Oh, forget about this, then I'll go with it." We finally came out once, but we can't be cheap foreigners. ”

The Warbill Bank was more generous and opulent than it used to be, apparently because of the war, which made the proprietors rich. As soon as they arrived at the door, a young woman was waiting there, and saluted the three of them: "Chairman, please go up to the third floor." ”

The third floor is the place where Zhao Guanhou and Jensen had an intimate relationship for the first time that day, and they are familiar with the way, after pushing the door, they saw the black bear specimen first, and when the door was closed, they heard the sound of water inside. Feng Zhi's face flushed, "The foreign woman is really shameless, taking a bath at this time, isn't it clear that she hooked the crown marquis in." ”

"If you want, you can wash it together." Jenson's voice came from the bathroom, "I have a basin of milk here at just the right temperature, enough for the four of us to wash." ”

Zhao Guanhou stood at the door generously, just in time to see Jensen soaking in the bathtub, only exposing his legs and head. Ice skin and jade skin, soaked in milk, milk rolling along the skin, the appearance is particularly emotional. He laughed, "How did you know we were coming?" ”

"Because there are at least 50 people in the concession who take my allowance to find out information for me, and all the people I care about will report to me as soon as they enter the concession. Of course, you may not have come to me when you entered the concession, but if that were the case, I would be very angry, and the consequences of my anger would be very terrible! ”

She stood up from the bathtub suddenly, stepped out, didn't mind her lack of an inch, and came to Zhao Guanhou step by step, reaching out to put her hand around his neck

"I've heard about the Ten Gege, and you've really touched me. Among the Chinese men I have met, you are the first man to take the initiative to say that women are more important than sons. Just for this, I want to give you a little reward, this bathtub is big enough, and the four of us can also wash it. ”

The result of these four people taking a bath can only be that the more they wash, the more they can't wash clean, the more they wash, the more messy they become, and finally the milk splashes everywhere and slowly flows into the floor drain.

Feng Zhi blushed, she didn't expect that she would agree to do this with a foreign woman, it was really embarrassing. But she had to admit that this was really exciting, especially when there was a large glass mirror opposite, which could illuminate several people very clearly, she felt even more shy and energetic, and finally became like this.

Jade is familiar with her ears and eyes, and she knows a lot, but it is the first time she has really done it, and she also closes her lips tightly, not knowing what to say. Jensen leaned his head on Zhao Guanhou's arms and asked, "Honey, do you like it?" ”

"Like, very much. You're such a genius. ”

"Of course I'm a genius, but the idea is not what I thought, it's your wife. She told me last time that if I had the chance, she wished I could do it for you once, and said that you would be happy to do it. It seems that at home, the person who knows you best will always be her. ”

"Sister Hanzhi? I really didn't see it, why is she so bad, when I get home, I have to settle accounts with her, I'm ashamed. Feng Zhi was ashamed and angry, but Jensen smiled: "If you can't accept it, you can choose to quit, I think this feels very good, maybe I will come back a few times in the future." At least this man deserves me, and I'm willing to do this for him. ”

Zhao Guanhou was grateful to Su Hanzhi in his heart, but now was not the time to talk about this, but to ask about the situation in the Jensen Concession and the current situation in Jinmen.

"Everything is fine here, but your country is not good. Outside the gates, there should be a war. Fuso had already carried out a national mobilization, and Tiele had also sent more than 200,000 troops to the eastern front. They built the Trans-Siberian Railway, which is unbelievable, and a group of crazy Tiele people is really terrifying. It is impossible to stop such a large troop movement, and the mediation of various countries has lost its meaning...... This, of course, didn't make sense from the start. ”

"Congratulations, you look like you're about to make a big buck again."

"Because you're my lucky star, since I met you, and you...... After going to bed, I found that my business was getting better and better, and my assets were growing rapidly. First the coalition army sent troops to the Jin country, and now Tiele is fighting with Fuso, and I find that I have made a mistake in the past, and I am actually afraid of war. I should praise war, only war can make me rich. ”

Fusang and Tiele are actually not ready for this war. But there is no turning back from the bow, the two sides can no longer stop, and they must see the winners and losers in order to have an explanation of domestic public opinion. What's more, as far as Fusang is concerned, Tiele will never be allowed to take all the customs out, and for Tiele, he will not be intimidated by Fusang.

When the two countries went to war, the military expenditure was huge, and after the coalition signed the peace treaty, Jenson purchased a large number of military supplies, and sold them at a higher price at this time, making a big profit. Even the consuls of Fusang and Tiele had to be polite to her, for fear that if they offended her, they would lose a huge military partner.

Jenson added, "Do you know what I have in store for you, my dear? …… Oh no, it's not that, that's for you at night. I mean to you and your troops. I have prepared 10,000 pieces of cotton clothes, 10,000 pieces, and you only need to pay the cost price to pick up the cotton clothes. There are also iron pickaxes, shovels, sleighs, plus 100,000 catties of grain. Always available when you need it. You know, if you know that I have this, the Fuso people will not hesitate to kneel down and kiss my feet. ”

Jiang Fengzhi was puzzled: "What are you going to do with this mess." I listen to a bunch of rags, what's the use. ”

Cuiyu said with a sad face: "Silly sister, you don't understand, our man is going to go on the expedition again." Mrs. Jenson is a quartermaster, and she is crazy with him today, because she knows that she will be gone this time, and she does not know how long she will have to go. If you can see each other, do you have to have fun? ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said: "If they want to fight, they will inevitably ally with our Jinguo, and the right army of Wuwei will not move to protect Gyeonggi, and my Wuwei front army will definitely go out of the customs this time." I don't want to say anything about my rivers and mountains and other nonsense, those places are not mine. But there is a lot of money outside the border, such a good place, and I have to get a lot of money back when I go to it. Besides, the Tiele people have a grudge against me, and this time out of the customs, I have to give them a little bit of power, so that they don't dare to trouble me again in the future. I will take back the old land outside the gate, and with this fame, I also want to see who dares to trouble me again in the court! (To be continued.) )
