"You are threatening, the British Empire is not afraid!" Although Tony is still very horizontal, but faintly seems to be loose, Qiao Yu is still clear about the heads of the British Consulate, this Tony does not seem to be a big person, so he is even more sure that he just came to blackmail, and he has a way to deal with it in his heart.

"How can a small businessman of mine dare to threaten the British Empire, I am just doing business, whose things are good and the price is low, I will use whom, Mr. Tony, you can't let me lose money, we contacted British businessmen before setting up a factory, but the price we can't accept, so we have to buy German machines, if Britain can be genuine, we are absolutely willing to buy British machines, I have a few factories to run, need a lot of machines, if Mr. Tony is willing to help contact, I am very grateful."

Qiao Yu is now powerless and powerless, and it is not good to rashly have a bad relationship with Britain, so he changed his attitude and turned to lure, Tony is just a small secretary, although he can pretend to be an uncle in front of the Chinese, but his status is really limited, but if he can fight for commercial interests for the British Empire, then his value will be different immediately, and his eyes will suddenly be bright.

"Mr. Joe, are you willing to do business with the English merchants?"

"There is no doubt about it, I am now about to buy a batch of machines to produce safety matches, Mr. Tony must also know that my country is still producing yellow phosphorus matches, itself yellow phosphorus is poisonous, some people swallow match heads to commit suicide, this is a tragedy that no one wants to see, I wonder if Mr. Tony can help?"

Yellow phosphorus matches are the kind of matches that can catch fire when they wipe the wall, this kind of matches have great disadvantages, one is easy to spontaneously combust, one is poisonous, the production workers will be poisoned if they don't pay attention to it, many desperate people in China will swallow the match head to commit suicide, in 1906, the world banned the production of yellow phosphorus matches through international conventions, and China did not ban the production and sale of yellow phosphorus matches until 1925, 20 years late.

Tony knew that there were thousands of silver dollars to make this deal, and the most important thing was to attract the attention of Mr. Consul and the British businessman, and he could reach the sky in one step, so he also showed a smile on his face.

"Joe, I'll contact the merchant now, I'm sure there will be results soon, goodbye!"

When Niu Chuanshan saw that this foreign uncle was finally leaving, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sent Tony out, and looked at Qiao Yu with a wry smile: "Shunqing, you still have a way, I really don't know how to deal with these foreigners!" ”

"Hey! My lord, didn't I still buy a machine to send him away, in other words, to avoid disaster, what is commendable, but how could this Tony find me trouble for no reason? ”

"These foreigners have strange tempers, maybe it's just a whim, by the way, Shunqing, I have something to ask! Please help! ”

Qiao Yu also smiled with a smile on his face: "Lord Fuzun is polite, if you have any orders, just say it, I will definitely do it!" ”

"Shunqing, I'll tell you the truth, although my prefect looks beautiful, but in fact he knows his suffering, not to mention that these foreigners are riding on my head at will, and now there is more turmoil below, the revolutionary party Sichuan is running chaotically, moving up and down, but the power in my hands is not enough, I can't suppress it, and Lord Daotai Zhu also blames me from time to time, I am a mouse in the bellows, and I am angry on both sides."

Qiao Yuniu's complaint is to hold the attitude of listening, it is really not easy to be an official these years, but I don't see anyone who wants to sharpen his head and get into it, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, the more this kind of last days, the more ruthless the official's silver.

"The difficulties of the adults are obvious to all, the adults have worked hard for the whole city of Chongqing, and they are also in the eyes of everyone, if they can help you with anything, just give orders!"

"Shunqing is really a happy person, I set up a patrol team some time ago, and I want to rely on them to press the ground, hey, which one is all unusable, and there are a large number of party members, I am ready to arrest those chaotic parties several times, which one has been leaked out by these patrol police, and even the patrol battalion is unbearable, I have the intention to get rid of the thief, and I have no power to return to the sky, I want to ask Shunqing to train these patrol officers for me, clean up the chaotic party in Yucheng, and return the people to a bright future, which is also good for Shunqing Your factory!"

As soon as Qiao Yu heard that Niu Chuanshan actually asked him to help train the patrol police, his heart suddenly blossomed, and he was worried that he didn't know how to expand his power, so he would not send it to the door, but Qiao Yu knew that the more times like this, the more he had to hold on, and he couldn't let Niu Chuanshan realize his ambitions.

"My lord, I'm very willing to share my worries with adults, but my lord has already said that there are a large number of party members mixed in with the patrol police, and with these people's elbows, it will be difficult to improve even if you train for a short time, and it will even make the chaotic party aware of your plans, but it is not beautiful!"

"Shun Qing is right, I actually have the heart to start over, but the government has long been empty, if Shun Qing can be generous, it will be a blessing for the people of Yucheng!"

This is to ask the horse to run, and not to give the horse grazing, Niu Chuanshan really played a good calculation.

"Lord Fuzun, it stands to reason that I shouldn't refuse, if it's just training, I'm just going to put some effort, if I start from scratch to recruit training, the cost is really too amazing, and what kind of standard training should I use? Foreign patrol police are nothing more than to maintain law and order on the ground and arrest criminals, and they only need to be trained simply, but if adults want to use these patrol police to deal with the chaotic party, they must be strict, and even use the standards of the army to train, only in this way can they deal with those vicious chaotic parties, but in this way, they will need to use a large number of ordnance, guns and ammunition, which is not something that I can do as a small businessman! ”

When Niu Chuanshan heard this, he also agreed in his heart, Qiao Yu was telling the truth, he originally wanted to leave this stall to Qiao Yu, but it didn't seem so simple, he closed his eyes and thought for a while.

"Shunqing, do you think this will work, you are responsible for recruitment, training, I will provide you with 10,000 taels of silver, and then provide a batch of firearms, for the time being, train 1,000 people first, I will see the results in three months!"

10,000 taels of silver? You can get your hands on it too! Even three months' salary is not enough, and the rest of the clothing, food, drink, etc. have to be paid for by themselves, but this is fine, isn't this patrol police justifiably his own personal soldier?

"My lord, since you said so, I will take the errand down, but is the government to send a few people to assist, I am training patrol police for adults, if there is no one from the government office, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will say that I train private soldiers!"

Niu Chuanshan nodded and agreed: "Shunqing, I will appoint you as a police consultant, responsible for recruiting and training patrol officers, and I will ask the Shi Shuban to assist you, hoping that Shunqing can finish the patrol police training as soon as possible, so that the chaotic party can be cut off in one fell swoop." ”

Qiao Yu agreed, so he hurriedly arranged to go, Niu Chuanshan sat on the lobby, took a sip of tea, and felt very satisfied.

"My lord, that Qiao Yu is a figure who studied abroad, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not collude with the chaotic party, the adult gave him the right to train patrol police, I am afraid that he will move bricks and smash his feet!" The one who spoke was the master Qiao Yu met when he entered the mansion, his surname was Huang at this time, and he was from Shaoxing.

"Master Huang, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, although Qiao Yu studied abroad, but his father Qiao Guangyuan is the right servant of the imperial court, although Zhishi has been for some years, but I also believe that he will not let his son do that rebellious thing, in addition, if Qiao Yu has the intention to make trouble, he will join the army after returning to China, how can he concentrate on running an industry, this rebellion does not have to rely on the barrel of a gun, and Qiao Yu has an extraordinary relationship with the merchants of Yucheng, most of these businessmen are inclined to be constitutional, If he can be used by us, he will be able to get the support of the Constitutionalists, and a small chaotic party will not be a problem! ”

Master Huang suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "My lord's clever calculation, I just understood my lord's plan, my lord asked him to be a police consultant, it was to give him power, but if he wants to get this power, he must attack the chaotic party, and then it will be a struggle between the constitutionalist party and the chaotic party, and the adult's distress will be completely solved!" What a clever plan, I'm afraid that Zhuge will be reborn, and Kong Ming is nothing more than this in the world! ”

Niu Chuanshan smiled slightly, looking extremely proud.
