Jiangning City is full of smoke and miasma, and flies camp dogs. On the governor's ship outside Suzhou, the moon was bright and the wind was clear.

Li Xuan smiled like a flower, looking like a little hostess, beckoning to boil Dutch water and make coffee, her father Li Daxiong's share, which was concocted by Li Xuan himself, and handed it to Li Daxiong coquettishly.

Xu Yifan sat on the side, just looking at it with a smile. The battle of Jiawu was too hard and tiring, and seeing the deep feelings of this family also made people feel extremely relaxed. Speaking of which, that's all for his own leisure time. Next, all kinds of things will come like a tide and drown in the future, and I don't know when I can catch my breath again.

-- This path of reversal was chosen by himself, and there is no need to complain.

Li Daxiong: They are not from nature, and it is not for nothing. The four major families of Nanyang Lanyin, Li Zheng, Chen and Huang, the Spanish Philippines, British Malaysia and other places, there are also representatives of the three or two families and Li Daxiong. In the past year, these Nanyang families, who supported him the most, in addition to the capital of more than 10 million yuan at the beginning, have successively helped him more than 5 million taels, and the labor costs and various expenses posted by each family are not among them. Among them, the Li family accounted for the lion's share, accounting for about eighty percent of all these amounts.

Xu Yifan also privately estimated how many belongings the Li family had, and from Li Xuan's unintentional words and the financial resources of the Li family in Nanyang in later generations, it was inferred that the movable and immovable property at the disposal of the four major families of Nanyang Lanyin was probably at least seventy or eighty million. At that time, the annual financial income of the entire Qing Dynasty was only about 80 million taels!

This is also normal, the pre-industrial countries have always lacked the financial expansion of the surname, and also lack effective fiscal means, and the tax source income is only a few fixed pieces. It is definitely not a myth that there are some rich and rival nations among the people.

But no matter how rich the Li family is, no matter how much they owe him Xu Yifan when the indigenous people riot. There is no reason to support him all the time, and the businessman invests in it, and what he wants is a return. This is a wise saying wherever it goes. Similarly, Xu Yifan is also happy to tie these families to his side through interests, and strengthening his strength is on the one hand, on the other hand, he also needs this emerging capital group that has lived overseas for a long time, has a broad vision, and is familiar with the rules of the game in the outside world to stir up the stagnant water of the Qing Dynasty!

Reform and opening up to attract foreign investment is not Xu Yifan's invention.

Since everyone came here with a request, everyone sitting there exchanged glances with each other, and the atmosphere was quite interesting. If it weren't for Li Xuan's clever and smiling maneuver in it, led by Li Daxiong, I really don't know what attitude to put on. They came to Xu Yifan to reciprocate, but with Xu Yifan's current strong position, it didn't seem appropriate to speak first. In addition, they also knew that the foreign affairs team of Beiyang Group almost swept the number and defected to Xu Yifan. Everyone wants to do the same thing, and how to distribute this benefit is a very test for Xu Yifan.

This time, they arrived in Shanghai first, and Sheng Xuanhuai deliberately avoided meeting them. Tang Shaoyi and Zhan Tianyou are not easy to entertain them, and now they and Sheng Xuanhuai are colleagues, and it is better to avoid suspicion in some matters. In the end, Chu Wanli, who loved to see the excitement, volunteered to stay, and then people from Nanyang were chased to Suzhou. Now that he has arrived, Chu Wanli will definitely not leave. He was a high-ranking official of the Praetorian Guard system, but he sat next to this group of people, holding coffee with a wicked smile, looking left and right.

Li Daxiong asked Xu Yifan two sentences, and the other words were difficult to continue. Holding the coffee handed to him by Li Xuan, he didn't know how to drink it, but he kept looking at Xu Yifan, looking like he wanted to say something. There is no doubt that Li Daxiong is the first person from Nanyang, he doesn't speak, how can others talk well! Xu Yifan also calmed down, looking left and right with a smile, his fingers tapping on his knees, but he didn't speak.

Li Daxiong was afraid of the cold, and when he arrived in China, he wore woolen underwear. Sitting in the governor's ship, it is naturally warm like spring. The big guy froze here to compare his bearing, and the sweat behind his back was about to come down. Looking around, among the people who came, it was almost the first time that representatives of Filipino and Malaysian families had dealt with Xu Yifan so closely. Good guy, such a young governor of Liangjiang, the mother country, ruled tens of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of square miles of territory! This military civilian uniform is worn on the body in a heroic posture, and naturally has a majestic bearing. This is Xu Yifan, who killed tens of thousands of indigenous thugs in Nanyang while talking and laughing, and took one person as a country in North Korea, and now he is only twenty-six or seventeen, and he is already standing at the peak of the Qing Dynasty!

The people of Nanyang have a high look at their mother country, how can these people still speak in front of characters like Xu Yifan! A representative who owns more than 40 rubber plantations in Malaysia and has been granted the status of Datuk by the prince of Malaysia, sitting there holding a tea bowl can't help but tremble a little!

Xu Yifan naturally knows how much oppression he will bring to others in front of ordinary people now. This time, he also deliberately lowered the atmosphere a little, and the Nanyang Chinese were the forces he absolutely had to rely on. But this does not mean that he intends to be led by the nose by this force! Anyway, it's not difficult to put on the majesty of the superior who holds it and pinchs it............ The only regret is that there are fewer and fewer opportunities to play freely............ The representatives from Malaysia and the Philippines are unreliable, and they can only count on their own people from Lan Yin. Li Daxiong covered his face with a coffee cup and swept his eyes secretly. The Huang family is born as a servant of the Li family, and the family style is diligent and simple, and the representative who came this time is also the future heir of the family...... The Chen family, that is the Li family's son-in-law's separate door, he Li Daxiong does not speak, and the representative of the Chen family does not expect to rush into the head...... When he saw the representative of the Zheng family, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

The Zheng family is an emerging family force in Lanyin, but it has only a few decades of history, and its background is different from that of their families who are engaged in industry, and they are engaged in trade and opening banks. The style is originally Western, the Zheng family represents Zheng Shoushan, this winter weather, still wearing a British high-quality woolen hand-cut suit, wearing a top hat, and a person in his thirties has a graceful face like a crown of jade. Zheng Shoushan is the third oldest in the family's generation, and he is the ambitious person who wants to take over the position of head of the family. Just like Li Daxiong back then. This time I came to Liangjiang to meet Xu Yifan, and I was holding back to break out of a situation. For this, what others dare not say, he dares to say. What others dare not do, he dares to do. Li Daxiong communicated with him on the road, hoping that he could take the lead, at this time, this kid really had a kind, sitting there looking eager to speak!

Li Daxiong's eyes were everywhere, and Zheng Shoushan understood.

“………… Nanyang's business is getting harder and harder! The time my lord shook the South Seas in Surabaya, it was really a breath of relief for us. Now we Chinese, who doesn't have an adult's immortal tablet, and who walks on the streets of Surabaya without raising their eyebrows? …… But the words have to be spoken in two parts............"

Zheng Shoushan spoke boldly, and immediately broke the somewhat stagnant atmosphere in the boat just now. The delegates quietly moved their bodies, and their eyes turned to Xu Yifan, wanting to see his expression. Xu Yifan remained silent, smiled and waved his hand: "What else is polite to me?" If you have something to say, just say it! The boat is in the water, the ancient temple is on the side, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, at this time I don't say what I think, when will I say it? ”

Zheng Shoushan perked up and said with a smile: "I didn't dare to complain to the adults, but after the adults went, the foreign devils didn't dare to offend us ruthlessly, and the registration of the Chinese school was much freer." But the foreigners are only more wary of us, and it is not only in Lanyin Java, you can ask all of you here, the Nanyang colonial authorities, who is not vigilant against our Chinese businessmen? Some industries are now legislating to prohibit us Chinese businessmen from getting involved, especially in the machinery industry, who doesn't know, this industry is now excess profits? That's all............ To be honest, we didn't rely on these to make our fortune. But the most important thing is that the investment restrictions of foreigners on us are getting tighter and tighter! Funds exchange, complicated procedures, how many pairs of eyes staring! I'm afraid that our Chinese business industry will further expand, and it will not be restricted at that time!

If we do industry, the money is to roll up............ Otherwise, keep a lot of money at home, what is it called! My current status is always the protector of my Nanyang overseas Chinese community. Since foreign devils can't slaughter us at will, they can only restrict our development............ The flow of funds is not smooth, the import and export trade cannot be guaranteed by letters of credit, and the major families in Nanyang have really broken their families to support the national war in Korea for more than a year, and the situation has gradually become a little urgent! The adult is famous all over the world, we are all rescued by the adults themselves, and we are still enthusiastic about the donations to the adults in our years, so we will come to the adults with the old cheeks to show us the Nanyang overseas Chinese community, pointing out a clear way out............ If I Zheng Shoushan said a lie, Mazu is on top, so that I can't enter the ancestral grave after I die! ”

As soon as he said that, everyone watched Xu Yifan's face gradually turn cold. Li Daxiong also closed his eyes a little unbearably. This Zheng Shoushankou is very handy, and his courage is thick enough. If it's really something that others don't dare to say, he says it! It's nothing to complain, but the last few words are similar to showing favor and threatening. What kind of person is Xu Yifan, who dares to confront the entire Dutch colonial authorities in Lanyin with only thirty-nine student soldiers, and now he has such a status, how can he stand such words from others!

Li Daxiong and Xu Yifan have been dealing with each other for a long time. Xu Yifan's surname is qualified, and he is such a smart person gradually figured it out. Xu Yifan is not only full of opportunities and open-minded at critical times, but also a very confident and thoughtful character! Underneath the easy-going exterior, it is a toughness that wants to take everything into his own hands!

As a businessman in the Eastern society, you can only cooperate with powerful forces. No matter how much power they had at the beginning of the ascension of this powerful force. This is the result of thousands of years of history. And it is only in cooperation with this powerful force that greater interests can be sought. The pursuit of businessmen is nothing more than that.

Xu Yifan rose in North Korea and has been unstoppable all the way to the present. If the world doesn't see him as a person who can ask about the importance of the crown, it is to cover his ears and steal the bell. Not to mention forces like the Li family, which almost bind their net worth to Xu Yifan!

If you say that you gave full support to Xu Yifan at the beginning, there is still a little bit of gratitude and impulse of the old man Li Yuanfu of the Li family. Now Xu Yifan is standing in his mother country. These Nanyang overseas Chinese businessmen are keenly aware of the opportunity.

The family history of these overseas Chinese businessmen in Nanyang is a history of blood and tears. Under the situation of hatred of the natives and restrictions of the foreigners, several generations of people have worked hard to reach this situation. And now the mother country has better opportunities in front of it, this is a larger market, more abundant and hard-working labor, more abundant resources, and the most important thing is that Xu Yifan can almost be said to be held out by Nanyang funds! Combined with such a rising political force, combined with the abundant financial resources of overseas Chinese businessmen in Nanyang, who can almost be a country, what the future holds, is really limitless! They will get rid of the situation of holding a golden job bowl in one fell swoop, but struggling to survive in the cracks!

Although they have paid a lot, Xu Yifan's favor to them is already heavy, and the reward he can provide is far more than their investment of 10 million taels of silver - Nanyang is such a large territory, and the Chinese businessmen beat the foreign colonial authorities every year, and bleed the indigenous people to appease them, which year is not about the same number in any year!

When it comes to the exchange of interests, what kind of favor is in return, that is, he has reduced his value in front of Xu Yifan. Especially in Xu Yifan's hands, he now has a Beiyang Western-style Group that also has financial resources and connections in the local center!

Thinking of this, Li Daxiong only felt that his mouth was dry, and he regretted how to let Zheng Shoushan hit this first shot. His fingers were almost dipping into the coffee, but he didn't feel the heat at all. just looked at Xu Yifan without blinking. The foundation of the Li family in the next hundred years will fall on Xu Yifan's thoughts!

The cabin was quiet, and only the sound of Xu Yifan's fingers tapping lightly on the coffee table beside him could be heard.

And Xu Yifan, however, had no expression on his face.

Even Li Xuan, who was the most naïve and had the most unclear understanding of the situation here, subconsciously put away the smile on his face, took a box of sugar cubes, and stood among Xu Yifan and Daddy, looking left and right. I want to say something, but I don't know what to say.

I don't know how long it took, but the sweat on the representatives of the Nanyang families was dry and wet, wet and dry. I just feel that it is like a year. Xu Yifan finally let out a long breath and muttered to himself: "I really don't know if it's right or wrong to make this decision by myself............ In this day and age, maybe that's the only option? As for what kind of difficulties will be encountered by future generations, let's rely on the wisdom of the next generation to solve them............ That's all I can do in this day and age............"

He smiled at Li Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, you go inside and take a rest, you are also tired." ”

Men's careers don't need girls to be involved............ Li Xuan blinked, also smiled, and stuck out his tongue at Xu Yifan: "You guys, I'm too lazy to listen!" But ah, my dad is the most annoying, I used to talk about me for a long time, don't pay attention to him! As he spoke, he walked out of the cabin with his skirt fluttering.

Xu Yifan smiled faintly, although Li Xuan was naïve, he was also Bingxue smart. Not a stupid girl like Cuckoo Rosch. At this time, although she didn't know what was going on, at this time, she could only help if she said anything to their Li family!

He watched Li Xuan's light back leave, was stunned for a while, turned his head, and raised two fingers vigorously.

"I have only two policies in the future, one is to strengthen the country through education, which is the only way to open the wisdom of the Chinese people who have been sleeping for nearly 300 years, and the second is ............ I have decided that I am ready to implement the policy of revitalizing the industry. ”

His voice is not high, but if history is known, it will be deeply shaken! The meaning of this sentence is far more than the wind and thunder he will set off in Liangjiang!

The policy of revitalizing the industry -- using the strength of the state to fully support monopoly industrial groups. Rather than the development of the bureaucratic industry represented by the Manchu Westernization in the past few decades. The country's political system, bureaucratic system, laws and regulations will also be supported by this policy of colonization and prosperity. This policy will determine the direction of this country for at least 50 years in the future!

This policy is also an effective means for the rising countries to catch up with the footsteps of the powerful countries as proven by history. Xu Yifan defeated Yumoto on the battlefield, but he had to adopt the fundamental policy on which the Meiji Restoration relied - colonization and industrial development! With China's size, abundant resources, and large population, it is expected that in the years to come, it will achieve a strong country that far surpasses that of the Meiji Restoration!

At this moment that determines the direction of history, Xu Yifan only feels the deepest uneasiness.

I hope what I release isn't a monster............ Hopefully, in the process, I can maintain as much fairness and justice as possible.

This is the path I chose, and I don't have to complain.

There was a clang, but it was the coffee cup in Chu Wanli's hand, which rolled to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yanjing City is almost winter weather, and bursts of cold snaps from Siberia have swept the entire Yanjing City.

The river outside the water gate was frostbitten, and it was full of children and young men playing skates there. Inside the mutton restaurant with a charcoal fire on the copper stove, it is steaming all day long, and many regular customers of the teahouse have changed this weather to gather in the mutton restaurant.

No matter how the outside world changes, it seems that the words of this ancient capital will continue unchanged for thousands of years.

No one knows how long this leisure that belongs exclusively to the people of the capital will last.

The sky was still gray, and the door of the Dongtou Friends Dart Bureau in Guanshi Hutong squeaked and dismantled a piece. Wang Wu was dressed as a cotton monkey, carrying a wine jug and walking out sideways. The South Road Shochu of the Cheap Fang arrived at the new goods, and yesterday the shopkeeper of the Cheap Fang also sent a young man to the door to inform Wang Wu, and left a few catties for the Fifth Master, all of which were original bubbles, and they were not exchanged with new wine.

Wang Wu turned sideways before going out, and was swept away by the cold wind howling in the alley, Rao is body that has been boiled for a long time, and he still couldn't help but hey: "Drink, dry cold!" Senior Brother Chen, leaning on the door panel, I turned my face and came back, look at this cold, my five-color plum should also be opened, the wine is back, let's also go back, look at the plum blossom wine! ”

Before Chen Hu could agree, he heard an old voice on the street laughing: "The fifth master is so Yaxing!" We are running in the world, but the fifth master is so leisurely, who doesn't say that the fifth master is the one who really understands the way of the world! ”

Wang Wuyi was stunned, and when he turned his face, he saw seven or eight well-dressed figures standing at the door of the meeting, and the one in the head was not Old Man Han! He smiled kindly, wore a sea dragon's fur hood, and his beard was blown high by the cold morning wind. just looked at Wang Wu with a smile.

"Ouch, old man, why are you here! Isn't it called a door? Who's the one who's frozen? Hurry up, senior brother, get out of the door and let the old man in! The brazier rose and rested in my room............ Old man, why are you running to see me? ”

Wang Wu was really surprised and delighted, living in the capital, Han Zhongping Han, the old man of the north, braved the wind and cold to wait, what a friendship this is! A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, how could Old Man Han come to see him, the fifth king who guarded the dilapidated dart game?
