Although the first petition failed, Sun Hongyi and Zhang Jian were not discouraged.

After the establishment of the National Assembly Petition Comrades Association, Sun Hongyi set up a headquarters in Beijing and branches in various provinces and ports, and there were some rudiments of a political party.

However, it is clear that it will not be possible to launch a more ambitious petition campaign without a few months. Therefore, after the failure of the first petition, except for half of the people who stayed in Beijing to continue their activities, the rest, including Yan Shao, returned to their respective territories.

At the end of 1909, through the efforts of the "National Assembly Petition Comrades", the representatives of various provinces went to Beijing again to launch a second petition. The number of petitioners was expanded to 150, including representatives of provincial chambers of commerce, societies and overseas Chinese, in addition to the provincial advisory bureaus. Moreover, the petition also collected more than 300,000 signatures, far larger than the first one.

As last time, this time, Sun Hongyi was the leader of the petition and sent the delegation's petition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The last petition was supported by the ministers and local governors, which made the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate understand the importance of the matter, and the scale of this petition was far greater than the last time, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not embarrass the delegation, but handed over the petition according to the delegation's intentions...

Seeing the petition submitted by the Imperial Procuratorate, the ministers of the imperial court also began to divide.

Some of the people "sternly intimidated" so that the deputies would not "cease to talk," while others held that "the people's will must not be lost, and the people's grievances must not be accumulated, and they must be dealt with with politely to avoid complications."

Seeing that the two gangs were still arguing there, they flipped through the petition. When he saw that there were more than 300,000 signatories requesting a constitution, Zaifeng couldn't help but sigh. "There are so many petitions from the people, if they are no longer allowed. It's a big disappointment..."

If Yan Shaozai was at this time, he would definitely complain, but when he heard Zaifeng's words, some other ministers nodded.

Although there are constant disputes among the ministers over whether to agree or not, there is one thing that is unanimous, that is, it must not be easily softened, and if the common people follow suit after this precedent is set, where is the majesty of the imperial court? Wouldn't it leave a great deal of trouble?

So this time, the tone of the edict issued by the imperial court was even more severe. "No more blasphemy!"

Seeing that the second time also failed, Zhang Jian and Luo Lun's gang were not discouraged. They telegraphed the provinces: "We must make a third petition, with perseverance and perseverance." Three, four, or even ten successes may be expected. ”

So they launched a larger third congressional petition. After discussion, the National Assembly Petition Comrades Meeting reached three decisions: First, the scope of petition representatives will continue to expand.

When making a formal petition. All prefectures, departments, prefectures, and counties sent one or two representatives to Beijing. At least 100 people in the near province and at least 50 people in the far province.

The second is to distribute signature books and agree that each province will collect at least one million signatures.

The third is cross-petitioning, in which the delegation petitions the Advisory Council, the provincial advisory bureaus and organizations petition the Advisory Council at the same time, and the provincial advisory bureaus and organizations petition the governors of the provinces.

It is conceivable that if this petition takes shape, the scale will be unprecedentedly large.

In fact, it was precisely because of this petition that the Qing court was able to compromise because of this petition, and it was under the pressure of a powerful petition movement at that time. Eighteen governors, generals, and generals led by the governor of the three eastern provinces, Xiliang, jointly issued a petition to immediately organize a cabinet and convene a parliament the following year. Shocked, the Qing court announced on November 14 that the period for the provisional constitution would be shortened to five years, and that a responsible cabinet would be established before the Diet could be opened.

But these have little to do with Yan Shao. Because by this time it was already 1910...

————————————————————

"It's January..."Yan Shaochang, who put the newspaper on the table and was on the recliner, sighed.

If it weren't for the time crossing, how could Yan Shao have imagined that the rubber stocks that are now being speculated would collapse this year.

In fact, until now he hadn't figured out what rubber stocks were going to crash.

Sitting next to Yan Shao, Elano and Caterina also hesitated.

"Are you really going to sell the stock..."

From 1908 to the present, those stocks in Yan Shao's hands have increased at least 10 times, that is, at least 10,000 pounds. (From 1908 to 1910, the price-to-book ratio of rubber company stock was as high as 10-20 times, and the premium was 8-9 times, so this figure is not an exaggeration.) ）

More than 100 million pounds, this concept may be a bit vague, but with a comparator, you may be able to have a clearer idea. At this time, the price of a battleship was about 2 million pounds, more than 100 million pounds was enough for Yan Shao to form a battleship fleet of 50 battleships, and Britain's fiscal revenue in 1909 was 132 million pounds—————— equivalent to more than three times the fiscal revenue of the Qing court in 1913...

Nowadays, those stocks can grow by at least hundreds of thousands of pounds almost every day, although Yan Shao and they had already planned to sell these stocks in 1910, but looking at this amazing growth rate, even wise people like them hesitated, after all, they are not as familiar with history as Yan Shao, and firmly believe that the stock will collapse in 1910, and they will inevitably be confused in the face of such a large fortune.

In fact, it wasn't just them, even Yan Shao was a little dazed.

"Isn't it possible to hold on for a little longer? Even just holding it for a few more days might bring the wealth of a battleship. This thought has been echoing in Yan Shao's alarm clock, but after thinking of the tragic situation about rubber stocks in history, Yan Shao still came to his senses.

"Throw..."Yan Shao said categorically. Prosperity is bound to decline, rather than not knowing when Lu Dao was suddenly made to lose all his money, it is better to accept it when it is good, anyway, even if I sell the stock now, I am the one who makes the most money..."

In fact, when it comes to selling, Yan Shao's heart is also dripping blood, although the rise of the stock is not as good as in 09, but if the stock crash is at the end of 10 years, Yan Shao is likely to make tens of millions of pounds less because of this decision.

However, they couldn't see these Elaino, and they didn't hesitate at all when they saw that Yan Shao was categorical in this matter (?). ）。 The two of them suddenly felt that he was more attractive than ever at this time.

Although the three of them had just gone crazy this morning, the two of them still involuntarily entangled Yan Shao, and the few clothes on their bodies were also faded little by little.

————————————————————

After some lingering. With the flush on his face after the afterglow, Elaline leaned on Yan Shao's arms and lightly drew his fingers on his chest. "When are we going to London?"

"London?" Yan Shao was stunned. "What are you going to do in London?"

"Of course it's selling stocks," said Elaline frowning. You're not going to sell it in Shanghai. "If you sell in Shanghai, although it is convenient, the most likely victims of the stock crash will be the Chinese, and with her understanding of Yan Shao, Yan Shao does not seem to be a person who will do this.

"Of course not." Yan Shao shook his head very decisively, and his hands were placed on her and Katarina's crisp breasts and kneaded gently. Even if he has just gone crazy, the full breasts of the two still make him a little in love, especially when the two pairs of breasts feel different. "I'm going to send someone to Japan in secret..."

"Japan?" It's not just Elainor this time. Even Caterina lifted her head.

"That's right, Japan..."

The hatred that was almost blown up in the sky at the beginning has not been forgotten even now.

The reason why he did not retaliate was that he did not want to attract the attention of the Qing court, and on the other hand, because he thought of a better means of retaliation.

That's stocks...

It is obviously a matter of course that the stock will crash, although Yan Shao does not know what the stock will crash for. But since it has happened in history. Then it will inevitably happen, after all, no stock can go crazy all the time.

And then...

What would have happened if Yan Shao had sent someone to Japan with the stock to sell before the stock crashed?

Now that Shanghai is in a state of turmoil over the stock market, he doesn't believe that the Japanese side has never heard of it, and he doesn't believe that the greed of the Japanese will not be tempted by the benefits of the stocks.

Then the rest of the work is simple, sell the stock to the Japanese, and then sit back and watch the expressions of the Japanese after the stock crash.

"Xiangshan's revenge for that incident..."After listening to Yan Shao's reason, Elaline nodded. It was a revenge affair, but now we have the equivalent of £100 million in the value of these shares. If you're Japanese, you're probably not going to be able to eat it..."

"That's too," Eleno said. Yan Shao frowned.

The stock is so hot, he is sure that the Japanese will be tempted, the key is whether the Japanese can eat so many stocks.

Maybe it's nothing if it's 10 million pounds, but 100 million pounds...

"Forget it, you can eat as much as you can, bring 20 million first, and we will send the rest to London to sell." Anyway, it's only January now, and although Yan Shao doesn't know the specific time of the stock crash, at least not the first few months of the year in his impression.

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Elano and Caterina nodded. "Then we're leaving for Japan tomorrow?"

"No, we're not going in person this time..."

Go to Japan and sell the stock in person? Even if Yan Shao wanted to take revenge, he would never do this, not to mention that he was not crazy.

Although the last incident was also very noisy, after all, it is still a fair business competition. Moreover, the Japanese just dumped the goods at a price a little below the cost, and the real loss was only a few months of no income, and the actual loss was not particularly large, plus that incident was originally not authentic to them, and the place where the crime was committed was in the Yangtze River valley, which belonged to the territory of the British, even if they were unhappy, the Japanese could only endure it.

But this time it is different, if you really bring the stock to Japan to sell, when the stock crashes, the Japanese will lose as much as they buy, even if Yan Shao only sells 10 million pounds of stock, the Japanese will lose 30 or 40 times or even more than the last loss.

If 20 million pounds had been sold, the hatred would have been almost unimaginable.

It is no joke that Yan Shao was remembered by a whole country before he reached the top.

So this matter can only come in secret, and you must not reveal your identity...

————————————————————

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Elaline and the others also nodded their heads.

"Definitely. If the stock market really crashes, there is no way that the Japanese will not retaliate after suffering such a large loss. Especially after discovering that these stocks were sold by one person, and that person still has a grudge against him, it is easy to think that all this is likely to be deliberately designed by the other party. It's just that if you send someone to Japan secretly, you have to send someone you can trust..."

This is also one of the most difficult places.

After all, that's 20 million pounds, and it's okay to be the richest man in China, not to mention being the richest man.

And in the face of such a large fortune, except for Katarina. Eleanor really had a hard time believing anyone, but this time none of the three of them could go.

Faced with this problem, Yan Shao also had a headache, and only got up from the bed after half a sound. After casually wearing two clothes, he opened the door and raised his voice to the outside world. "Xiao Ying!"

"You're crazy!" Originally, I didn't understand what Yan Shao was going to do, but at this time, when he saw that he was going to call Lu Ying in, Elano and Caterina were flustered, after all, the three of them had just lingered, not to mention the sheets, floors, and even the marks on the tables, chairs, and walls. The way they are alone must not be seen by outsiders.

That's why Yan Shao just shouted. The two of them had already begun to put clothes on their bodies in a hurry.

However, this time Lu Ying came much faster than usual, and as a result, the two of them had not even put on their underwear, and Lu Ying had already appeared at the door.

"Sir, what do you call me...... Yes! Seeing the scene in the house, Lu Ying's face suddenly turned red.

But before she could say anything, Yan Shao had already pulled her into the room.

This scene was seen by a few passing maids outside, and they immediately whispered, and Lu Ying, who was pulled into the room, did not resist at all, and even showed a trace of expectation in her eyes.

But just when she thought that Yan Shao would do something to her that she often did to the two hostesses. Yan Shao patted her head and said. "How about you leave things to her? In terms of trust, I trust her the most besides you..."

Hearing that Yan Shao pulled himself in was not for the thing he was thinking about. Lu Ying's heart was somewhat lost. However, when she heard that she was Yan Shao's most trusted person, her eyes lit up.

On the other side, hearing Yan Shao say this, Caterina and the others also stopped putting on their clothes.

"She?" Seeing that Yan Shao liked Lu Ying, Elaline hesitated. "Is it okay? She's only 17 years old..."

"Of course there is no problem..."The current Yan Shao is no longer the one who didn't understand anything when he first came, how could he not know what Lu Ying usually showed in his expression. It's just that because Eleno and they look too strictly, they have always been difficult to start—————— of course, the most important thing is that Yan Shao prefers plump women.

But it is precisely for this reason that Yan Shao will keep Lu Ying by his side and trust her very much. And unlike those under him, Yan Shao knew very well that Li Liang and they followed him for the sake of ideals, but they also had a certain utilitarian nature, and it was difficult to say whether they would abscond with the money in the face of a huge sum of 20 million pounds.

But Lu Ying is different, not to mention how far can she escape from a little girl's family?

The most important thing is that as the housekeeper of the manor, she rarely leaves the manor, and she does not have much contact with the outside world, as long as she is slightly modified in appearance, there is very little chance that others can recognize her. On the contrary, it is Li Liang and those people, who usually often show their heads, and it is difficult to say whether they will be recognized.

As for age and ability? Ability is the least important thing in this matter, as long as she can count.

————————————————————————

When she learned about the stocks, although Lu Ying also had a lot of money in her hands when she was usually in charge of the manor, she couldn't help but be taken aback. However, when she heard Yan Shao say that she wanted to entrust this matter to her, she nodded without hesitation. "Sir, don't worry, even if I fight for my life, I will definitely get things done..."

With a wry smile, Yan Shao patted her head. "It's not that far, you just need to get things done, if you can't do it...... That's nothing. Maybe it's because there is too much money but I don't feel anything, in Yan Shao's heart, Lu Ying is indeed much more important than the 20 million, and after this emotion was felt by Lu Ying, it also made her heart sweet.

may be because of the height difference, coupled with Yan Shao's patting of the head, which makes the two more like a pair of brothers and sisters, so Elano and the others are not very jealous.

It's just that after the two of them finished talking, Caterina pulled Lu Ying to her side. "Do you know why we want you to hide your identity and go to Japan?"

Shaking her head very cooperatively, Lu Ying said that she didn't know what to do.

Seeing that she really didn't know, Caterina hurriedly carried out brainwashing education. "You should still remember the explosion a few years ago, in fact, the explosion was not done by the revolutionary party, but by the Japanese, just because the Chinese court did not want to offend the Japanese, so it pushed the matter to the revolutionary party, this time we let you go to take revenge on the Japanese, so this time the matter must not only be done, but the most important thing is that you must not reveal your identity..."

Knowing that the Japanese did what happened that time, Lu Ying was surprised and angry at the same time.

But anger to anger, she was still a little strange. "But if you want revenge, why sell the stock to the Japanese?"

Lu Ying still knows the popularity of stocks now, in fact, last year she specially asked someone to buy thousands of silver dollars of stocks from Shanghai, planning to make more private money and ......... Trousseau...

It was precisely for this reason that she was a little confused.

If it were her, I'm afraid she would have hoarded all the stocks a long time ago, and then watched it grow up day by day...

didn't understand Lu Ying's thoughts, Yan Shao chuckled. "Because of the prosperity and decline, the extremes of things will be reversed, this is the way of heaven..."

The unfathomable appearance made Lu Ying's eyes a little confused, and it also made Elainor, who was watching all this in his eyes, suddenly feel a little bad... (To be continued......)
