Chapter 16 Yang Shukan Visits
Niu Chuanshan thought he was proud, Qiao Yu was even more ecstatic at this time, although he had already started training guards, but he didn't dare to stimulate the Qing Zheng axe, so he only trained the scale of three hundred people, and now Niu Chuanshan gave himself the power to train patrol officers, which is equivalent to giving himself a green light to expand his strength, how can he not make Qiao Yu happy in his heart, and hurriedly went to Qiao Cheng to discuss.
Qiao Yu Qiao Cheng sat opposite the brothers, Qiao Yu explained the matter, and then said with a smile: "Big brother, the foolish officer has given me the right to recruit and train the army, as long as the students are trained, we will soon be able to catch an army again!" ”
"That's true, but this court is too mediocre, how can they dare to give away any power, do they want the world to be in chaos? Don't be a conspiracy! ”
"It's just to quench their thirst, they can't control the place at all, they originally relied on the control of clan forces, and now the industry and commerce in the city are booming, and various communities have fallen into the hands of the Constitutional Party, just like Zhang Jian and others have a certain number of armed forces, responsible for public security, arresting thieves, developing education and other things, Niu Chuanshan gave us this power, and it was also a plan for us to deal with the revolutionary party, but it just happened to fulfill our wishes, big brother, you have to recruit all the people as soon as possible!"
"Okay, don't worry, third child, I'll definitely recruit all the people as soon as possible!"
"Don't be too anxious, the guards on my side haven't been trained yet, it will take at least two months to take shape, I plan to use these guards as the backbone to train the patrol police by then, and don't let Niu Chuanshan think that we are too active, so as not to be suspicious!"
"The eyes of the heart have made you grow!"
While the brothers were discussing, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Wang Tianhe's voice came.
"Young master, someone is looking for you, and they have been here three or four times, and they want to see you for everything!"
"Big brother, I'll go and take a look!"
Qiao Yu went out of the room Wang Tianhe went straight to the outside of the mansion, and came to the door of the White Mansion, only to see a man in his thirties standing at the door, not tall, with a pair of glasses, looking very elegant, but the eyebrows are high, the lips are extremely thin, it seems that he is not an easy character to deal with, when the person came to see Qiao Yu come out, he smiled slightly on his face, and took the lead in speaking.
"Mr. Qiao, it's really harder to see you than to ascend to the sky!"
"This friend, there are too many mundane things, it is inevitable to snub friends, but I don't know your surname, we don't seem to have met!"
"Boss Qiao is a celebrity in Yucheng, a proud man in the business world, where can I know me, my name is Yang Shukan, Yang Cangbai!"
When Qiao Yu heard this, he immediately remembered what happened in Yueben, this is the head of the Sichuan Alliance in front of him, thinking of this, Qiao Yu smiled with a smile on his face, "It turned out to be Mr. Cangbai, forgive me for not knowing the crime, please go inside, let's just talk about it!" ”
Qiao Yu invited Yang Shukan into the living room, and after the seat was finished, a servant poured fragrant tea, Yang Shukan was not polite, took a sip, and said: "Mr. Qiao, I went to the factory to find you several times, even this Baifu has come several times, it is really not easy to see you!" ”
Yang Shukan's tone was unkind from the beginning of the meeting, Qiao Yu was still silent, and the two lives of people had already made him have enough city government to face the things in front of him.
"Mr. Cangbai's blame is that I have been running around with my feet on the ground these days, and today I will make amends to you with wine! Please don't be surprised, sir. ”
Qiao Yu was polite, Yang Shukan was not too persecutive, and there was a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Qiao, I don't blame you, but I am too anxious, I received a letter from Qin Yu's two virtuous brothers two months ago, and strongly recommended the virtuous brother to me, saying that you are a great talent, a rare talent, and join my alliance, let me cooperate with you more, and jointly overthrow the corrupt Manchu court, but I said something that should not be said, virtuous brother, after you returned to Sichuan, you actually devoted yourself to industry, and this revolution still depends on the barrel of a gun. The factory is to develop, but as long as the revolution is successful, everything will be easy to do, I have heard that you have invested millions of taels of silver in a factory, you must know how many guns and ammunition these silver can buy, since several uprisings, how many of our brothers have failed because of the lack of firearms, if you can invest this money in the revolutionary cause, why worry about the Manchu Qing Dynasty! ”
As soon as Qiao Yu heard Yang Shukan's words, his heart suddenly became angry, what should I do if the industry has become a mistake, should I hand over all my family property to you to go to the revolution? Your kind of revolution full of loopholes, that is, you have met an incompetent court like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, otherwise there would have been no one left who would have died a long time ago, and you still want to waste your own money, how can it be reasonable, Qiao Yu was dissatisfied, leaned back on the chair, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Cangbai, it is the trend of the times to save the country through industry, I just follow the trend, although the revolution is important, but this industrial development cannot be slackened a little, otherwise the gap between us and the great powers will become bigger and bigger!" In addition, if this revolution fails, is it still my fault that I did not destroy my family and relieve the suffering? ”
Yang Shukan may also have noticed that his words were a little excessive, so he also eased down: "Brother Qiao Xian, I'm really busy these days, and please don't be surprised, not long ago Mr. Sun has sent me a secret letter, we are about to start an incident in Guangzhou, now there is a lack of silver, I am raising money everywhere, but the income is limited, and as long as Mr. succeeds, we will respond to it, overthrow the Manchu Qing in one fell swoop, and ask Brother Xian to help me!" ”
In fact, Yang Shukan has been paying attention to Qiao Yu's situation since he knew about him, because Qiao Yu's family background, plus as soon as he returned to Sichuan, he set up a factory, and the Constitutional Party was mixed together, Yang Shukan did not accept Qiao Yu from the bottom of his heart, so he just kept observing and did not come to him, but now that the Guangzhou uprising is imminent, Yang Shukan has limited power in his hands, so he has to take the risk of pulling Qiao Yu over, and now whether it is Limin Textile Factory or Sichuan Investment Company, it has a huge impact, as long as Qiao Yu can help the League, Don't worry if the revolution doesn't succeed!
Qiao Yu had already guessed most of Yang Shukan's intentions at this time, so he smiled on his face: "Mr. Yang, how do you think I can help you?" ”
Yang Shukan saw that Qiao Yu seemed to be very interested in helping, and he was also happy in his heart, it seemed that this person was still concerned about the revolution: "Brother Qiao Xian, I hope you can provide 500,000 taels of silver, I will give Mr. Sun 300,000 taels, and the rest will be reserved for the Sichuan revolution, you can rest assured, as long as our revolution succeeds, this money will be doubled back to the virtuous brother, and the virtuous brother will definitely not suffer!" ”
Can the Huanghuagang Uprising succeed, Qiao Yuxin said that who knows better than himself, if it weren't for the Manchu Qing Dynasty even made a stupid move, launched the imperial cabinet, and forcibly reclaimed the Sichuan-Han Road, and finally the world was in chaos, just pointing to these revolutionary parties still don't know when it will succeed, let's just say that the current Guangzhou uprising, since last year, it has been more than four months, from the first planned ten-way march to the four-way march, and when it was finally launched, only Huang Xing all the way, it can be said that it was a complete defeat in the organization, The long process of preparation has made the uprising no secrets, and it has long been detected by the Manchu political axe, how can it be successful, this is still claimed to be carefully planned by the alliance, and the level of the alliance can be imagined.
Now Yang Shukan's red mouth and white teeth are like getting money from himself, it is a fool's dream, Qiao Yu asked quietly: "Mr. Yang, do you have any other requirements?" ”
"Brother Xian, now that your factory is thriving and there are a lot of workers, I am going to arrange some revolutionary aspirants in the factory, let them mobilize and organize the workers, and when the time comes, it will be better to be able to buy some weapons from foreigners!"
Qiao Yu gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "First, now it takes a huge amount of money to set up a factory, I have empty money, thirty or fifty taels still have to discuss, three and a half hundred thousand taels is really nothing, second, the factory has poured my heart and soul into it, your so-called revolutionary aspirants are just some hooligans, they have no skills, I will never let them into my factory, third, I don't think your revolution can succeed, so I can't buy weapons for you, Mr. Yang, If there's nothing to do, just take care of it. ”
Yang Shukan was already so angry that he was full of anger, thirty or fifty taels? You sent Hanako who asked for food! The other two conditions were also rejected, and at this time, looking at Qiao Yu's smiling face, he only felt extremely resentful, and his chest was full of anger.
"The surname is Qiao, what do you mean, do you joke about the revolutionary aspirants again? Do you want to betray the Alliance? ”
"Mr. Yang, I haven't officially joined the Alliance yet, why do you want to betray it, but you, a rebellious party, are you so wanton and rampant, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa?"
I have already signed a contract, so please rest assured to collect it.
