"Okay, you Tang Ziran, you made an appointment with those three chapters, and said it, if you can rely on it, the old man will rely on you!"

Zhang Zhidong's laughter should only attract a burst of envy from the surrounding staff, there are envy people, and there are naturally envy people, especially Cai Xiyong, who was highly used in the past for being proficient in foreign affairs in the scene, heard it, and his heart was even more mixed, and when he looked at Tang Haoran, he was even more jealous.

In the envy and jealousy of everyone, Tang Haoran picked up the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip of tea first, moistened his throat, and even coughed lightly before speaking.

"First, the authority of the ship's employment administration lies with me, even if I am handsome, I am not allowed to send a person to the shipyard,"

If the biggest drawback of the modern Westernization Movement is the employment of people, so that the shopping mall has become an officialdom, this will be full of supplementary officials everywhere in China, and the tops of these supplementary officials are bought with money, so they naturally find a way to get them back, and the same is true in Hubei, but they have been making up for it.

Now there is a Zhang Zhengtai in Wuchang, and this Zhang Zhengtai wants to set up an iron factory, a gun factory, and a coal mine and an iron mine, and he will attract two million taels of silver as soon as he folds the paper, and it is said that this silver will continue to be drawn from the Hubu treasury and from the foreigners' bank in the future, and the silver will flow into Hubei and Wuchang City like sea water. Zhang Zhitai set up so many Western-style yamen, adding hundreds of positions to the rigid and old-fashioned officialdom that had never existed since ancient times. This position deals with silver all day long, and it is as easy as opening the mouth to suck saliva when swimming.

Not to mention that these people brought the habits of officialdom to the enterprise, the unit is the kind of mentality that today takes the seal and checks, and tomorrow can get rich, and it can destroy any enterprise, in the later generations, I don't know how many state-owned enterprises are destroyed in the hands of this kind of people, it can be said that the Westernization Movement that continues to cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver will end miserably in the end, the most fundamental reason is the institutional reason, behind any successful modernization reform, is the modernization of the whole society, this point, maybe Tang Haoran can't do it now, But he can at least try to avoid some things, for example, to avoid the impact of the employment system on the enterprise.

When Cai Xiyong heard this, his brows jumped, and he thought that this Tang Haoran was so bold. However, he did not immediately speak out against it, but listened to him and continued until the end to refute it.

"What about the second one?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhidong nodded, agreeing to this article.

"Second, the charter of the shipping bureau is determined by me, although it is founded by official funds, it is not allowed to interfere in the formulation of the charter of the shipping bureau!"

Okay!

The sneer in Cai Xiyong's heart became stronger, this Tang Haoran's courage was greater than he imagined, if this continued, he would be happy to hit him hard when he was proud, and look at his third article, not only Cai Xiyong thought so, but even Zhang Zhidong also had the same thought.

"Third, the management and operation of the shipping bureau are all in me, because the shipping bureau was founded by government capital, and the government can exercise the right to supervise at the end of the year......"

When Tang Haoran was carrying the three chapters of his covenant, Zhang Zhidong's brows were slightly locked, and his fingers caressed the rim of the cup, obviously a little unhappy.

"What a guts!"

Before Tang Haoran finished speaking, Cai Xiyong, who had long been impatient, immediately seized the opportunity to jump out when he saw Zhang Zhidong's face showing displeasure, pointing at Tang Haoran and asking loudly.

"Since you, Tang Ziran, know that it is run by government funds, and you are not allowed to send people to the shipping bureau, nor are you allowed to ask the government about the regulations, nor do you ask about management, do you think this shipping bureau is your Tang family's property?"

Previously, after Tang Haoran proposed the four strategies of "yarn, silk, coal, and ship", Cai Xiyong had already made him regard him as his biggest opponent in the shogunate, and naturally he would not let go of the opportunity to suppress him.

Sure enough, his "things of your Tang family" made the displeasure on Zhang Zhidong's face even stronger, he usually hated people the most "filling his own pockets", even if he admired Sheng Xuanhuai, but he was unbearable, the reason was precisely because of his "filling his private pockets", and the fact that he was "filling his private pockets" was a fake "government-business joint venture".

When Cai Xiyong said this, he really talked about Zhang Zhidong's heart, and suddenly made him who originally intended to consider Tang Haoran's three chapters of the covenant suddenly shaken.

In the face of Cai Xiyong's accusation, Tang Haoran would not back down, he didn't even look at Cai Xiyong, but looked directly at Zhang Zhidong and hugged his fists and saluted.

"Xiang Shuai, Hao Ran said before, if Xiang Shuai Yu Hao Ran has full power, Hao Ran will not only return 100,000 taels of official capital, but also hand over the profit of the ship bureau no less than 50,000 taels every year! In ten years, the shipyard will not only be able to regain the routes along the river, but also the coastal routes, and establish a shipbuilding bureau in Wuchang! Every year, the official treasury is not less than 500,000 taels! ”

Another great idea came out of Tang Haoran's mouth, this time not only Zhang Zhidong and others were taken aback by the big blueprint he drew, but even Cai Xiyong, who previously accused him of "fake public and private", was also taken aback, so much so that he muttered.

"This is impossible, Xiang Shuai, don't listen to this son's wild words!"

"How could it be!"

Suddenly stepped forward and looked directly at Cai Xiyong, Tang Haoran asked unceremoniously.

"Cai Yijing, you only say that I am talking wildly, but do you know how many foreign ships sail on my Yangtze River and coastal coast every year? How much profit does the foreign ship make every year? ”

Because I know that in history, although Cai Xiyong is proficient in mathematics and has been outside for ten years, he can be regarded as a rare foreign talent, but during his tenure as the general office of the Railway Bureau, he was just like the old Chinese officialdom style. As a result, the Hanyang Iron Works has been like officialdom since its establishment, and corruption is rampant, and in the end it ended up costing millions in vain but achieving nothing, and Cai Xiyong, as the general office, naturally cannot shirk his responsibility, not to mention that he also knows that this Cai Xiyong is a Western-style talent who is "proficient in Western learning and mathematics" that Zhang Zhidong sees, and he is also the person he replaces as the "Western-style commissioner" appointed by Zhang Zhidong. Facing him now, Tang Haoran was naturally unceremoniously.

"This, this ......"

Tang Haoran's successive rhetorical questions made Cai Xiyong dumb, he really didn't know, even if it was a foreign affair, he only knew a little, and he relied on the fact that he was taught some Western learning by foreigners in the Tongwen Museum. But he, who has lived in officialdom for a long time, how can he show weakness, and hurriedly turned to Zhang Zhidong and said,

"Xiang Shuai, you must not listen to this son's false words, this son has said before that there are countless foreign ships sailing on the Yangtze River and along the coast, even if this is the case, how to compete with it and recapture the river and sea routes!"

Cai Xiyong's words are extremely skillful, whether it is "listening" or "nonsense", his power in Zhang Zhidong gives him room for "maneuver", and points out that Tang Haoran's words are just arrogant words and cannot be trusted. Sure enough, when he said this, it really made Zhang Zhidong's brows furrow slightly, and even everyone in the curtain admired Cai Xiyong's quick wit, indeed, this foreign ship has been rampant in the Chinese sea for decades, and there have been more and more foreign ships on the river and sea in the past few decades, how could he Tang Haoran regain the benefits of the river and sea from the hands of foreign ships, otherwise the China Merchants Shipping Bureau may have already succeeded.

However, Cai Xiyong's pride was only a momentary effort, Tang Haoran looked directly at Cai Xiyong and asked unceremoniously.

"Then do you know how the Japanese used several years to win the Japanese route?"

When everyone was confused, Tang Haoran turned his face to Zhang Zhidong and hugged his fists again.

"Xiang Shuai, he Japan Merchants Shipping Bureau has also opened a route to Japan, why ten years ago, categorically canceled the route to Japan, more than ten years ago, the Oriental Ocean sailed Chinese and foreign ships monopolized the Japanese route, but now the Oriental Ocean is occupied by Japanese ships, even foreigners also avoid it,"

Saying that, Tang Haoran turned his face to Cai Xiyong and asked loudly.

"Since the Oriental can do it, can I say that the Chinese can't do it?"

Tang Haoran asked this sentence a little heartbroken, if Cai Xiyong said that he could do it, it would be equivalent to slapping himself in the face, if he said that he couldn't do it, even Zhang Zhidong would be dissatisfied with him, and Cai Xiyong, who was in a dilemma for a while, had a thousand things to say in his stomach, but he couldn't say it.

Just when Cai Xiyong was in a dilemma and didn't know how to resolve it, he heard a cheer from the side.

"Good!"

applauded Wang Tingzhen, who is also Cai Xiyong's friend, he not only applauded Tang Haoran, but even specially applauded him, this scene only saw Cai Xiyong's heart for a while, what does Wang Tingzhen want to do?

"Ziran said it well, and what he said greatly increased the morale of my people."

Compared with Cai Xiyong's direct pointing, Wang Tingzhen unexpectedly cheered for Tang Haoran.

"If the people of the country are like Ziran, why worry about the troubles of foreigners, Xiang Shuai, congratulations to Xiang Shuai for being so talented!"

What does he want to do?

Tang Haoran did not relax his vigilance because of Wang Tingzhen's few kind words, but felt that this person had a ghost in his heart, and he was nothing more than a traitor or a thief, and he definitely had no good intentions. But what are his intentions?

"However, there is something that is still unclear, and I still have to ask Ziran for advice or two!"

Sure enough, what should come will come!

With a secret scream, Tang Haoran hurriedly bowed to Wang Tingzhen and said politely.

"Brother Chengli is in front, how dare the kid teach, don't dare!"

Although it is a false ceremony, this ceremony must also be performed.

As early as Guangzhou, Brother Yi Jing had suggested to Xiang Shuai to buy foreign machinery to set up a factory, and had purchased foreign machinery. Please also ask my brother to give me advice! ”

Wang Tingzhen's consultation made others immediately understand what he meant, and at the same time, he secretly said that this Wang Tingzhen really has his cleverness, and in a few words, Tang Haoran's idea became to pick up people's teeth, and the credit of this factory is still on Cai Yijing's body.

Okay, there are pickers again, a group of staff members just watched the evolution of this state of affairs, and Zhang Zhidong smiled and said nothing, although he trusted the staff, but the appointment of the staff was argued like this, if Tang Ziran didn't tell the story, how could he show his talent, now someone argues, naturally there is his reason, just like the argument between Tang Ziran and Cai Yijing, there is no objection from Cai Yijing, how could he Tang Ziran come up with his plans one by one, so he looked at Wang Tingzhen with a smile.

"Chengli, what do you have to ask Ziran?"
