It's a tough battle!

Wang Wenshao and the others knew that Yang Hao was so well prepared, and this matter must not be good. However, he is also cunning and cunning, and he immediately had a countermeasure in the blink of his eyelids, and he stroked the account book with his hand and said: "This matter is very important, and there are too many people involved. Since Mr. Yang is willing to provide the accounts, how about waiting for the Imperial Military Department to take stock and calculate with the Household Department? ”

He felt that his attitude was already very kind, Yang Hao didn't seem to appreciate it, and raised his chin and said coldly: "That's okay, whatever you count as long as you want." But as I said, in the first place, if the money does not arrive in the account for a day, all the properties under the Yang family will not pay any taxes. ”

"This matter naturally ......." Wang Wenshao twisted his beard and was about to nod, but his head reacted violently, almost pulling off his white beard, and he was furious in his heart, "This Yang Hao is simply unreasonable!" ”

It doesn't sound like it matters, doesn't it just mean that you don't pay taxes? No matter how big your Yang's business is, it's limited, right?

But things can't be counted like that, you must know that Yang Hao is involved in the largest and most prosperous Yanhua Chamber of Commerce, and has already controlled the entire Zhili and most of the coastal transactions, with a trade volume of tens of millions! And their plate is still expanding rapidly, various branches continue to spread across the country, and small merchants from all over the country have joined. If they don't pay taxes, who will the officials in various parts of the Great Qing Kingdom apportion and loot?!

Yang Hao is armed, if some local officials are bold enough to come, he will find a way to go to the thunder?

On the other hand, the customs duties of the Qing Dynasty were managed by the British. The Yang family is in charge of the largest shipping and import and export business, and if he takes over other people's businesses, he will not pay taxes. It's no wonder that the British are not in a hurry!

A small Japan can't handle it. Plus the ...... of the British Empire. Wang Wenshao felt that his head was three times bigger all of a sudden!

Yang Hao is not finished yet! He pointed to a person next to him and said, "A considerable part of these funds were borrowed by Yanhua Commercial Bank. Interest is calculated for each day that passes. Your Excellency the Governor, you'd better make it clear to the Imperial Court that the bank has no shortage of profits. ”

Wang Wenshao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He has a new understanding of Yang Hao's shameless face.

The bank interest in these years is similar to that of usury, and it belongs to the category of who borrows and who is unlucky. Yanhua Commercial Bank's low-interest loans are limited to industrial and commercial support projects. Other private loans are not involved. However, Yang Hao counted all military salaries as bank loans, and they had to be calculated according to the prevailing standards of this era.

How outrageous is it? You can refer to the method of borrowing money from the British bank to the Great Qing Dynasty. They asked for the total to be calculated in pounds sterling. When I lent it, I exchanged one pound to two silver, but when I repaid the money, I asked for one for seven! Although the ratio of huàn to huàn in this era has actually reached almost one to five, it is not so outrageous as the British!

Only then is the interest calculated on the final number of one for seven! Basically, doubling the total at the end is the most conservative outcome. What's even more odious is that people don't want silver, just gold, or you go to exchange the pound bill yourself!

One mile and one away. How much is the loss? After the Gengzi Revolution in this world, the Eight-Nation Alliance demanded 450 million taels of silver. In essence, the final expenditure of the Great Qing State exceeded one billion taels! European financiers shear sheep by the means they are most familiar with, and make a lot of money.

Wang Wenshao knew the stakes and was even more confident that this stubble would not be accepted, and whoever you love will resist.

He nodded with difficulty: "Well, the headquarters will definitely report what you and others said one by one." How to deal with it is to be decided by the imperial court. As for the last accusation, it is not known to the old man, and it is better for Mr. Yang to inform the court of the lawsuit. ”

Yang Haoyuan didn't expect this old man to do anything practical. As the backbone of the conservative faction in the Qing court, Wang Wenshao even firmly opposed the reform of the law, not to mention supporting him, a real and unknown anti-thief. Today, I just named them first, and then I should do what I should do, which is called "don't say anything unexpectedly".

At the moment, he was not verbose, stood up and arched his hand at Wang Wenshao: "I will wait until my intention is clear, so I will stop bothering Lord Wang and say goodbye." ”

Wang Wenshao served a tea bowl: "Don't send it." ”

When Yang Hao and his entourage came out of the yamen, Wang Wenshao picked up the tea bowl and smashed it to the ground, slapped the table and shouted: "Bastard, it's extremely rebellious!" Blatantly blackmailing the imperial court, it is simply lawless! ”

waved to the startled staff to drive out the subordinates who ran in to clean, and after closing the door, he comforted him with a nervous face: "Don't raise your voice, be cautious!" ”

Wang Wenshao scolded with all his hair: "What? The old man still doesn't dare to speak out at home? Could it be that Yang Dingshi has a tailwind? ”

The staff sighed, "You forgot? At the beginning, Weng Changshu and his disciples' private house gossip could be revealed to Yang Dingshi, which shows the length of his ears and eyes. Not to mention, this place is also the birthplace of Li Hefei...... Don't be careful! ”

Wang Wenshao was stunned. When Weng Tongyi stepped down, everyone felt weird. The Great Qing Kingdom has neither a brocade guard nor a sticky pole, how can it be known? Thinking of all the miracles of Yang Hao since his debut, he couldn't help but tremble, and his anger was vented cleanly.

sat down and sighed: "Alas, this day can't be lived." ”

Turning his head to look at the ledger and the pile of documents on the table again, he waved his sleeves in annoyance: "Forget it, forget it!" Hurry up and send all these things to the capital! Whoever cares about it, the old man doesn't mix! ”

Needless to say, the staff naturally pulled everything out, and by the way, they wrote the fold for him and sent it to the capital in an expedited manner of 400 miles.

Yang Hao and his entourage acted so flamboyantly that they couldn't hide it from those who had a heart. The front foot left, and in less than half an hour, detailed gossip spread. First of all, the Tianjin Wei made people panic, and no one knew whether the more than 10,000 troops would come back and clash with the imperial court. Then the bigwigs in the capital heard about Yang Hao's account numbers and the matter of pursuing responsibility, and they were in an uproar!

After Emperor Guangxu saw Wang Wenshao's telegram, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he was furious and angry: "Forty million, forty million taels!" Why didn't he grab it?! Even if he made a small contribution to the court, is there any conscience in the end? What about Li Jingfang? And so many officers in the new army? The imperial court has always been kind to them, is it possible to follow the Yang family to make mistakes?! ”

There were more than 10,000 people in the first town of the new army, most of whom were officials and soldiers from the imperial court. It stands to reason that they won't follow suit, right?

But here's the problem, Li Jingfang and they haven't even made a break! Even the first troops have already set sail from Goryeo, and they are still in Pyongyang. Something is wrong!

When Li Hongzao heard the news that Yang Hao was going to settle accounts after the autumn, he knew that things were not good. The old guys are all first-class smart people in the world, and their intrigues and calculations are all first-class.

He immediately stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, what the Yang family is trying to do is not just one end. The top priority is not to follow his path and embarrass the court, but to strengthen armaments in case of accidents! ”

Emperor Guangxu was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "What does Li Aiqing mean, then Yang Hao still dares to raise troops to rebel?!" The first town was not his family's. So many people, aren't they afraid that their families will be implicated and punished by the imperial court? ”

Most people probably think the same way. In addition to Yang Hao's hardcore more than 4,000 people, the more than 3,000 people in Tianjin include young people from all over the world; Half of the new recruits came from all over Liaodong; There is also the old department of the Huai Army. Calculated in general, the ingredients are complex, and everyone has a family behind them, and Yang Hao doesn't have the ability to take care of them all.

Li Hongzao and the others sighed in their hearts, the emperor is still too young! How did he know that under Yang Hao's prostitution, what thoughts the governors of the provinces cared for? Those people can really cooperate with the imperial court to detain and kill the family members of the soldiers under their command?

It's hard, it's so hard!

Before, Shandong Li Bingheng instructed Zhang Gaoyuan, but now after a few months, how can he be defenseless? Planning and then acting is Yang's consistent characteristic.

In front of so many courtiers, Li Hongzao didn't want to explain too much, showing how shallow the emperor was. He went on along his own lines of thought: "The matter of military pay is the most urgent matter, but the household department can calculate and stop it by a special person and allocate it as appropriate, so that the sergeant will not have an excuse to make trouble." The returning soldiers can be stationed in Lutai and Machang, but the old minister believes that they should be placed in the best place. ”

"What Master Li said is extremely true! Without the root cause of the trouble, the Yang family did not dare to raise troops at every turn, regardless of their reputation. Rong Lu stood up and agreed, "In addition, the slave can order some sergeants to settle in Xiaozhan Town, seventy miles southeast of Tianjin. This place was originally a Sheng military camp, which was vast and remote, and it was possible to allow part of the newly formed Dingwu Army to be stationed on the spot to monitor. ”

This trusts the military department Shangshu, and it's really not an idle meal.

Li Hongzao frowned slightly, Rong Lu is the upstart of the imperial party, how can he add oil and vinegar?

However, at this time, it was not easy to cause disputes, and he then said: "The Governor of Zhili, Lord Wang, can be trained by the Governor of Zhili, Nie Gongting, to strengthen the armament and garrison Lutai to defend Gyeonggi." Such a parallel between the north and the south can ensure that the capital is worry-free! ”

Emperor Guangxu clapped his hands and praised: "What Wang Du said is very wonderful! With Nie Gongting's hundred battle elite soldiers lined up on the left, and with the armor and sharp weapons, it will definitely make Yang Wei jealous again and again! But I don't know, how many soldiers might be arranged? ”

Nie Shicheng was a fierce general in the war against Japan. After Zuo Guigui's death, he became a banner among the thousands of horses, maintaining the Huai brand from falling.

Li Hongzao is not good at military affairs after all, so he can't answer for a while. Rong Lu, however, immediately threw out a number: "Your Majesty, thirty battalions of elite soldiers can be guaranteed." ”

That's more than 20,000 people.

Emperor Guangxu still felt that it was not safe, and waved his hand to make an arbitrary decision: "It's not enough, I ordered the Dingwu army to recruit more than 10,000 people, and there must be no less than 20,000 people!" ”

There are forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers, and after training in Western France and all kinds of weapons and equipment, I don't believe that I can't do Yang Hao! (To be continued......)
