Zhang Zuolin has long dealt with the Japanese, in fact, since the Russo-Japanese War, Japan will shili deep into the three eastern provinces, any military and political figures who want to mix here need Japan's approval.

Lao Zhang has also said a lot of things in the past, such as helping Japan do things, but those are all words of entertainment, and they are beneficial and not expense. In fact, the Japanese were still wary of Zhang Zuolin, mainly because Zhang Zuolin supported the republican system during the Xinhai Revolution and thwarted the first Manchurian and Mongolian independence instigated by Kawashima Naniwa and his gang. Therefore, many Japanese still regard Zhang Zuolin as a thorn in the flesh.

This time, Zhang Zuolin was ready to take out a loan from Japan, and the Japanese side also expressed its approval, which was completely different from previous contacts, and this was Zhang Zuolin's preparation to fully turn to the Japanese. There is no doubt that this decision is related to the fate and future of more than 10,000 people in the 27th Division, and even to the tranquility of the three eastern provinces.

"Eighth child, do you really have an idea? Hurry up and talk to me! ”

"Seventh brother, it's not that I have a way, it's Tinglan that this kid has an idea, let him introduce it to you!"

Zhang Zuolin noticed Zhang Tinglan who was following Zhang Zuoxiang, he thought that Zhang Tinglan was just passing by, but he thought that Zhang Zuoxiang actually said that he could help him solve the problem, and Lao Zhang was stunned for a while. He is still very clear about Zhang Tinglan, this kid is very good at reading, and he is also very honest, and he rarely messes around with Zhang Xueliang and other second-generation young masters.

However, if Zhang Tinglan has a way to solve the difficulties that he can't solve, Lao Zhang will not believe it anyway.

"Eighth child, we buddies can't joke like this, I don't look down on my eldest nephew, it's just that he's still a child, what can I do!"

"Seventh brother, whether it can be done or not is still between the two, but you listen to it first, maybe it's also a way!" Zhang Zuoxiang pulled Zhang Zuolin to the house while speaking, and Zhang Tinglan also followed closely behind, and as soon as he entered the house, he smelled a pungent smell of smoke. Lao Zhang smoked not cigarettes, but authentic Kanto cigarettes, pungent and spicy, Zhang Tinglan almost fainted.

But he didn't care about anything, Dad and Zhang Zuolin both sat at the table, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly walked over, told Zhang Zuolin the original thing he and Fred discussed, and at the same time took out the drawings of the North Market, pointing to the drawings while introducing his ideas to him.

Zhang Zuolin's comprehension ability is obviously above Zhang Zuoxiang, the more Zhang Tinglan said that the happier he became, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he was keenly aware of the business opportunities, and Zhang Tinglan spent more than half an hour to introduce his ideas. Then Zhang Zuolin pulled him and asked for nearly two hours.

The questions involve various aspects, including the specific size of the North Market, infrastructure, business direction, how to collect taxes, how to manage and so on. Zhang Tinglan tried hard to answer one by one, Lao Zhang's question was far deeper than he imagined, and he even saw the value of this market to the revitalization of national industry, zuihou Zhang Zuolin finally stopped asking, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he couldn't stop patting Zhang Tinglan's shoulder.

"Good, that's great! What a great idea! ”

"Old eight, this is called not a sound, a blockbuster, Tinglan is extraordinary!"

Zhang Zuoxiang is also full of joy, seeing his son's appearance, which one can be a father who is not happy. However, Zhang Zuoxiang still said more humbly: "Yuting, Tinglan is just an idea, it is still very difficult to realize, the establishment of this large market must first get the support of the government, and in addition, we must guard against the great powers taking the opportunity to intervene, especially the Japanese, once there is anything good, they will not fall!" ”

Zhang Zuolin narrowed his eyes, he had now come out of the joy of seeing this jihua, thinking more about the resistance and trouble that would be encountered in implementing this jihua.

"Old eight, you're right, I don't think it's easy to pass the first level. Fast horse Zhang Zhang Xiluan's defensiveness against us is getting more and more serious, besides, he is just messing around now, and he doesn't want to take care of any major things, so he nods and agrees to such a big thing, I think it's difficult! ”

"And it's not easy to stop the Japanese from participating, their eyes and ears are too flexible, such a big project, how many bricks, tiles, wood, and labor are needed, as long as the construction starts, everyone knows clearly!"

Zhang Zuolin's brows furrowed as he spoke, although Zhang Tinglan proposed a good way to make money, but if you want to get money immediately, there are still many difficulties! Lao Zhang was distressed again.

"Tinglan, your method is good, but I calculated that it would take at least half a year to see the return, and now I am in arrears for three months, if it is delayed for another half a year, I don't want to be the division commander!"

"Seventh Master, with such a big family business as the Twenty-seventh Division, can't it last even a few months?"

Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In the past two years, the president has been very dead to the local powerful faction, and the military salary is getting smaller and smaller. If I don't get into a corner, I won't borrow money from the Japanese, and according to the current situation, it will last for half a month, at most a month, not to mention military salaries, and even military rations will be gone! ”

Zhang Tinglan didn't expect that the dignified 27th Division, the most powerful armed force in Fengtian, would be forced to such a point by the problem of military salaries, it seems that the warlord is not easy to be, if he doesn't have the ability to hold money, he doesn't need to be attacked by others, and he will be scattered internally!

"Seven masters, I think we can rent a business space in advance and collect an admission fee. Anyone who wants to enter the North Market to operate must pay a sum of money in advance, so that you may be able to get a sum of money quickly! ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Tinglan also immediately felt that something was wrong, so that he would definitely make a big move, and it would attract the attention of all parties, and the Chinese would undoubtedly dig into the corners of the great powers by running their own markets, and they would definitely not agree. As soon as these powers make a fuss, the Chinese government will most likely give in.

In the final analysis, Zhang Tinglan thought simply, he thought that the 27th Division was the most powerful liliang in Fengtian, so he naturally said the same. But Zhang Tinglan didn't notice that Zhang Zuolin was not a genuine overseer after all, and he couldn't represent the Fengtian government, on the one hand, the governor Zhang Xiluan and the Japanese were able to pull back, and on the other hand, the appeal to the Fengtian merchants was not enough.

Zhang Zuolin walked around the ground a few times, frowning: "The little devil is determined to eat me, many private industries in the 27th Division have been suppressed during this time, I guess the Japanese did it, they are forcing me to do things for them!" ”

Zhang Tinglan was also a little annoyed now, he thought that with the aura of a traverser, he could easily solve the trouble, and then win a round of applause, but now it seems that he has thought things simpler.

"Seventh Master, do you have the guts?"

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and suddenly asked such a sentence, Zhang Zuolin was also stunned, he had seen Zhang Tinglan's extraordinaryness from the conversation for a few hours, and he asked himself this for a purpose.

"Boy, your seventh master started from scratch, from a bandit to today, the most important thing is guts, if you have any ideas, just say it!"

Zhang Tinglan gritted her teeth, "Seventh Master, let's resell the arms!" ”

"Tinglan, what nonsense are you talking about, the gun is our pillar, how can it be sold!" Zhang Zuoxiang thought that Zhang Tinglan wanted to sell some arms and guns in exchange for some funds. This is not for nothing, and some local troops have stolen and sold their weapons to local heroes. It's just that the whole of the 27th Division knows the importance of force, and these guns are accumulated little by little, and they will kill them, and they will not sell weapons.

"Dad, I'm not talking about selling our own weapons, I'm talking about the Russians!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin were a little inexplicable, how could they still involve the Russians.

"Tinglan, you make it clear, as long as it is feasible and you can make money quickly, I will fight hard!"

"Seven masters, now that Europe is at war, the Allies and the Entente are dead, and Russia is the weakest of the Entente, they are not self-sufficient in weapons and need to be imported from abroad. Among them, a lot of military supplies were transported from the three eastern provinces to Russia through the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the two foreign banks under the name of Daosheng Bank were responsible for purchasing in the three eastern provinces! ”

"Tinglan, what do you mean by this, can't we go and rob the military supplies?" Zhang Zuolin asked in surprise, of course he knew what Zhang Tinglan said, and the South Manchurian Railway often passed through some trains full of arms and materials, which made Zhang Zuolin very red-eyed.

But it was all sent to Russia by the great powers, Zhang Zuolin didn't dare to fight the idea of these trains, he took a loan from Japan, probably taking chronic poison, but he dared to grab this, that is, drinking water to quench his thirst, and immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"Seventh Master, I'm not going to rob, I'm going to steal!"
