The capital, in the palace of the alcohol king. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Cheng Feng looked at his two brothers with a pale face, not knowing what to say. "Sixth, seventh, you two have always claimed to be my arms, and now, this is how your arms are used? The Admiralty bought the silver for the warship, and you dared to keep it in the bank to eat interest privately, and you also dared to forge fake contract documents. If this matter is turned out and published on the newspaper, we will be disgraced by you after we finish Yan's face, and I, the prison country, will have no face to sit on. ”

Cheng Xun was a little unconvinced, "Fifth brother, we can't be blamed for this." If the one million silver allocated by the ministry is used to buy ships and guns, and then hire foreign teachers to teach sailors, it will not be fruitful in a few years. Besides, the sailors rebuilt with that little money can't be compared with the previous North and South oceans, and what use is there. The navy is a bottomless pit, you have to smash it with tens of millions of silver to hear the sound, and it is useless to throw it away. Instead of putting the silver there to make it moldy, how can it be deposited in a foreigner's bank to earn interest? Originally, we negotiated with Daosheng Bank, and we could be more lenient in our house if we ate a rebate of two percent. Who knew that Daosheng Bank suddenly collapsed and went bankrupt, and our deposits were reversed, which was never expected, and I could be blamed for it. When you build the Regent's Palace, don't you touch the navy's silver? ”

Cheng Feng was speechless in one sentence, his face turned red and white, and he pointed at Cheng Xun with his finger, "Sixth...... You...... You have a good mouth, I can't talk about you. Catch up with the Queen Mother and ask, you will also reply. ”

Cheng Tao said: "Fifth brother, don't let it make trouble for the Queen Mother, isn't it over?" The person who made up the building was just to verify the Bank of Communications and bring down Zhang Jingchu. As long as you approve his excerpt, this matter of the Admiralty can be turned into a small one, and a small one can be turned into nothing. When the time comes, the Bank of Communications will be in the hands of Sheng Bulou, and a sum of money will be transferred from there, and the hole will be filled first, how will the Queen Mother know. ”

Chengfeng said: "Old Seven, things are not as simple as you think, Zhang Xiangtao specially invited me to Huixian Hall for dinner yesterday, and specially mentioned it to me." Nowadays, although the Songjiang market is bad, there is always a glimmer of life, as long as the money is kept, it can stabilize people's hearts, as long as people's hearts are not chaotic, the market will not be out of control. If the chapter is down, the source of righteousness and goodness will perish, and as soon as it falls, I am afraid that the southeast money industry will be out of control. The old man, who is over 70 years old, is holding my ear and telling me about this, which shows that the matter is extremely important and must not be sloppy. ”

As soon as Cheng Tao heard Zhang Xiangtao's name, he snorted, "That old thing, still has the face to speak?" He didn't say anything, now that Xun Tao and Beile should still be studying in the study, shouldn't they be the chief leader? If this person wants me to say, I shouldn't use it, just open the vacancy and return home. He and us are not of the same mind, a foreign official, he always wants to take care of our housework, and he doesn't know how big he is. ”

Cheng Xun also said: "That's right, he is not Bao Songjiang Qianye, he is protecting himself." Who doesn't know that Zhang Xiangtao has made money like mud and sand in office, and after being the governor of Huguang for so many years, he has lost nearly 10 million yuan in official funds. These envoys are indispensable for Southeast Qianzhuang to raise a substitute for him, and he is afraid that if he investigates, he will find out his affairs. Fifth brother, don't fall for him, you can't make a mistake. Now our buddy's pigtails are pinched in Sheng Bulou's hands, but we can't help it. ”

"That'...... Let me think about it. ”

Sheng Xingsun instructed her family to get rid of the stock in time by secret telegram, and not only was it not affected in this turmoil, but she made a lot of money. Now it is on this chapter again, and the impeachment chapter is Chu for misappropriating public funds, harming the public and private interests, and Cai Huang coerced the court and profited for personal gain.

Since then, the Ministry of Posts and Communications has been able to regain control of the Bank of Communications, and then take back the right of way of the Sichuan-Han Railway according to its own regulatory layout. His white fold has been sent in, and there is also news from the Alcohol Palace, and one will be hit, just waiting to be heard.

At this time, a palace sura came to reveal to him a not very good news: Zhang Xiangtao, asking to see the prison Guochengfeng.

Zhang Xiangtao is getting older, his health is not as good as before, he has walked a few steps, and he has been panting. Cheng Feng hurriedly ordered someone to prepare ginseng tea and snacks, Zhang Xiangtao waved his hand and said, "Regent, this is not necessary." The old man came today, did he hear that someone was involved in the chapter? ”

"There is a thing, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not, I'm going to send someone to check it. If there is, we can't look at him, take the state's money, and subsidize our own money. Songjiang is a bottomless pit, and he put the country's money into it to save his family property, which is not like words. ”

"Lord Wang, you can't say that, the current situation in Songjiang is at a critical juncture. If you want to stabilize people's hearts, you must stabilize the money industry. The source of righteousness and goodness is the leading place in the southeast money industry, and once there is a change, the consequences are unimaginable. Songjiang has 300,000 mechanics, and the factory's funds are stored in Qianzhuang, and the daily operating funds are also counted on Qianzhuang. There has been a change in the money village, and 300,000 workers have nowhere to live, which is one thing, and the disaster is the other thing that has spread to the provinces. Please think twice before acting, the source of righteousness and goodness cannot fall, and the source is abundant, nor can it fall. ”

Cheng Feng shook his head, "Xiang Weng, what you said is wrong. Could it be that just because Songjiang is a major participant, Yishanyuan has become a gold medal to protect himself from death? Because a bunch of ordinary people are counting on it to eat, the court has to protect it? There is no such reason. When those people made a fortune by speculating in stocks, why didn't they think about the imperial court, and now they have lost money, they deserve it! The court gave them a backdrop? Can't get around! Asking for food, begging, there is always a way to live, and the court can't be tightened and let them continue to eat and drink spicy, is that reasonable? ”

Zhang Xiangtao never thought that the regent of a country would say such a thing. The already sick and weak body only felt cold in his hands and feet, and shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, you have to think about it, once the people have no way to live, there will be changes." Ge Ming's party is in trouble, if it becomes one with the people, what should it do? ”

"What are you afraid of!" Cheng Feng said lightly: "There are soldiers!" ”

Zhang Xiangtao felt like he had received a heavy hammer, only to feel that the sky was dark for a while, his throat was sweet, his mouth was open, and a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly, spitting in front of the regent Chengfeng.

Chengfeng never thought that Zhang Xiangtao would react so much, and shouted: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Carry the man away! Then he shook his head and muttered, "Why bother? Even if there are your shares in this bank, if you say it, can I still make you lose money? Why bother with your old life, what do you want? ”

Within the Sheng Mansion.

An envoy from Fuso sat across from Sheng Xingsun. The envoy had a slight smile on his face and a stack of papers in his hand.

"Congratulations to Sheng Jun, you can finally realize your ideals, the collapse of Yishanyuan is already a sure thing, and my country's government has instructed Zhengjin Bank to prohibit it from providing loans to Yishanyuan. At the same time, he also released news to the banking groups of various countries, informing them of the debt situation of Yishanyuan, and I believe that Yishanyuan cannot borrow positions in the banks of various countries, and this situation will definitely not be maintained. ”

During Sheng Xingsun's arrival at the Hanyeping Iron Works, he became close friends with several well-known chaebols in Fuso, such as Hachiman Steel's Okura Kihachiro, and the two had close contacts and knew more about the situation in Fuso. Since he took office as the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, he has become increasingly close to Fusang, and Fusang has become the biggest help behind Sheng Xingsun, just as Tiele was to Zhang Tong that day.

He knew that this envoy, although nominally a Fusang merchant, was an important person who could enter and leave the legation at will, and he had great energy in his own right, and he was not necessarily inferior to Itanishi Hachiro, who had a closer relationship with Yuan Weiting. He nodded and smiled: "Your country's help this time, Sheng Mou kept it in mind. I have no selfish grudges against Yishanyuan, but I just don't want to rely on a moth to suck the flesh and blood of the country, fatten myself, turn around, and block the road of development. ”

"The intentions of the mending are naturally clear below, and I believe that history will give you a fair evaluation. However, in this stock turmoil, my country has also suffered a lot of losses, and the originally promised loan may need to be renegotiated, and I hope that the supplement can be forgiven. ”

Sheng Xingsun knew that Fuso's Zhengjin Bank was also involved in the operation of rubber stocks, and thought that he could make a lot of money in London. Unexpectedly, the sudden change in the turmoil caused the stocks in their hands to plummet, and they did not have time to find China to take over, and they suffered a lot of losses. In addition, in the battle of Liaodong, Fusang bled too much, and he has not yet been able to recover. The country's finances are actually very difficult, and the other party's renegotiation of the loan is not necessarily a pretext.

However, if he wants to achieve his goal, nationalize the railways that have been privately owned by commercial companies since the New Deal, and then use the state-owned railways to redeem the Chinese right of way held by foreigners in batches, so that the sovereignty will not be sidelined, but it is necessary to have loans from Fuso. Sheng Xingsun's brows furrowed slightly

"Your Excellency Ogura, the intersection between the two countries is not the way of diplomacy."

"That's right, what the contemptible man said, and the contemptible people completely agree. However, the world is difficult, and it is often beyond our expectations, and it is really our country's finances that are also very tight. It is difficult to provide the original number. However, I don't think there is a need to be too anxious. Several major railways in the country are being built at different paces, and the methods of dealing with them should not be the same. Taking the Sichuan-Han Railway as an example, if the right of way is redeemed by redemption, it is equivalent to the imperial court of your country bearing the consequences for the failed investment of the merchants. It is unfair that they use the stock money of the railway to speculate in stocks, and after the loss, they are covered by loans from the imperial court. In addition, there are big problems in the selection of the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway, and it is impossible for this road to be successfully built with the current level of science and technology. If you continue to treat everyone equally, it will be unfair to the other railways, and it is easy to set a bad example, so that more people will follow suit, and your country's finances will be even worse. ”

Sheng Xingsun also felt that what the Fusang people said was very reasonable, but he also had his own considerations: "If the 70 million people of Sichuan can't be properly resettled, the people's hearts will boil and things will happen." ”

Ogura smiled weirdly, "Mend Weng, with all due respect." You are the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, not the secretary of the War Department, and this issue should not be within the scope of your concern. Your country has clouds, and it is not in its place, and it is not in its politics. In addition, in recent years, in your country, large and small civil uprisings have occurred from time to time, and the railway incident may lead to some life changes, but it will not cause a major turmoil, as long as it is handled properly, there is no major problem. Moreover, your enemies are still eyeing your position, and if you take this opportunity, you can make a fuss, and perhaps, you can have one less confidant. ”

Sheng Xingsun naturally understood that the enemy that Kogura was talking about was Yuan Weiting, who was now living in seclusion in Wanshoutang Hall in Huanshang Village. When he was in power, he deliberately suppressed himself, usurped his authority, and made himself uncomfortable. Although the host and guest have changed forces now, Yuan's power is still there, and there are the most old ones in the army. And there are Duanfang, Naqinxuan, King Qing and other people to protect him, but he can't help it. Even Zhao Guanhou, who is now in charge of Songjiang affairs, is also his henchman, if ...... If there is an opportunity to attack this system, I can't let it go.

Ogura took the opportunity to say: "Please think about it, it is difficult for Sichuan to obtain foreign aid, and the weapons and equipment are inferior. At the beginning of the change, it is inevitable to cause turmoil, but as long as it is handled properly, it is easy to put an end to the turmoil. When the time comes, Your Excellency will come forward to turn the tide, and you will be able to restore the scenery of the Beiyang Minister of the past. ”

"Mr. Ogura, you mean?"

"If you come forward to quell the rebellion in Sichuan, the Fusang Zhengfu will provide you with comprehensive support from funds to weapons and even personnel to ensure that this incident will not affect your status and the stability of Dajin."

Sheng Xingsun glanced at the small warehouse in front of her a few times, and she didn't trust it in her heart, but they used each other to use each other, only looking at value, not character.

If the Fusang people can really help themselves, first help themselves cut off their political enemies, and then restore the right of way in the country, he will only rush to ask for his own share in the future, and he will never turn the world around. Little devil, when the time comes, you will take your benefits, and you will come to please me and give me more benefits. In the shogunate of Zhang Hefei, how can there be characters to be messed with.

Xiao Cang also looked at Sheng Xingsun, but what he was thinking about was the arrangement of his boss. In this stock turmoil, Fuso suffered a great loss of vitality, and it was difficult to make a difference in a short period of time. What we need to do now is to try our best to ensure that Fuso's interests in China are not harmed under the premise that we are weak.

If you can't strengthen yourself, you must weaken the enemy. As long as there is a great turmoil in the Jin country, it is divided, there are endless wars, and its national strength is weakening day by day, even in the period of weakness, Fuso will be enough to suppress them, and not only will their own interests not be lost, but they may also be able to expand.

Sheng Xingsun is indeed a smart person, but unfortunately she is too smart, and she is easy to be mistaken by cleverness. Ogura looked at Sheng Xingsun and had a thought in his heart. At this time, Sheng Xingsun had already nodded and said, "Mr. Ogura, I think what you said has some truth, and let me discuss it with my subordinates before reasoning." But I hope that the remaining loans, do not go wrong. ”

"Rest assured, I can guarantee the safety of the remaining loans. We have also obtained the bottom account of the Bank of Communications, and we will send it to the house another day to guarantee that your wish will be fulfilled and the war will be successful. ”

"In that case, then it's time to say thank you."

In both cases, they both held the optimism of the plan to sell, shook hands and said goodbye, Sheng Xingsun decided that everything was under his control. The Fusang people, although the ships are strong and the guns are sharp, if compared to the means of power, they are far behind. (To be continued.) )
