Chapter 147: Lu Ying
For Yan Shao, the place in this advisory board is almost a must, after all, he knows very well how important fame is, and he also needs to have this identity as a medium to help him control the other members of the advisory board......... It's like he's keeping the Reformation Society in check...
"The position of the councillor is estimated to be nine out of ten, and the rest depends on you..."
Stroking Katarina's long red hair with his hand, Yan Shao gently kissed her earlobe, and his hands were very dishonest and reached into her clothes and groped up and down.
With an intoxicating blush on her face, Caterina closed her eyes and enjoyed his touch.
"Don't worry, I promise that those people will be as obedient as the people in the Reform Society..."When it came to the Innovation Society, although Caterina had been paralyzed in his arms by Yan Shao's strange hands, the corners of her mouth still curled up involuntarily.
As the founder of the Innovation Association, Yan Shao is naturally the first president of the company.
But in reality it was just a reluctant compromise, at least for most of the members of the Reform Council.
As well-known local gentry and celebrities, these people had no hostility towards Yan Shao himself, but under the dominance of xenophobia, they could not accept that the largest constitutional organization in Anhui was actually controlled by a person from another province.
However, because the establishment of the reform meeting was too sudden, those celebrities who were invited to come could not reach a unified opinion in a short period of time, let alone elect a person who could make everyone nod their heads in a short period of time.
In the end, there was no choice but to let Yan Shao be the first president of the Innovation Association. Even if many in the Reformation Society are not willing to do so.
However, when the Reform Society was founded, they also strongly demanded that the president be elected once a year.
Perhaps, in their opinion, if the election is carried out, they will be able to regain the chairmanship in the second year from the hands of Yan Shao, a provincial. After all, in any case, the vast majority of the people in the Innovation Association are from Anhui. This is true even for those at Rainstone.
Then, they guessed wrong...
There are too few people in this world who don't eat hard and soft, although for the sake of secret operations, the strength of the special affairs department is relatively weak, but a year is enough time for them to exert it. In this year, the Special Affairs Department bought most of the members of the Innovation Association under the command of Katarina, but when the second election was held, several people who had always strongly opposed Yan Shao as the president found that most of the members of the original Innovation Association had been bought by Yan Shao.
Just remember the scene at that time. Even though she was immersed in Yan Shao's caresses, Caterina still had a smile on her face.
Today's innovation meeting has completely become Yan Shao's hall, although there are still a few who oppose Yan Shao, but it is just what he used to put the vase...
"Hmm. So it's all up to you? ”
"Is this this..."After holding Yan Shao's face with both hands and kissing her lightly on the lips, Caterina showed a bewitching smile. It's up to you to do next..."
It was at this time that Yan Shao found that his right hand, which had penetrated deep into Katarina's lower abdomen, suddenly became wet...
Unbutton a few buttons on the collar. Look at the snow-white ravines in front of you. Yan Shao's left hand covered it and kneaded it gently.
"Don't worry, I'll behave well..."
————————————————————
This stock trip took Yan Shao more than three months, and when Yan Shao's passenger ship in Shanghai arrived in Wuhu, it was already May 1908...
"How's it going, are the second group ready?"
got off the passenger ship, and after some greetings, Yan Shao said to Fu Xiuming, who came to greet him.
"Don't worry, boss. It's all ready..."Hearing Yan Shao's words, Fu Xiuming replied with a light smile.
Nodding. Yan Shao patted him on the shoulder and said. "That's good, remember to learn more things when you come back to France..." When he said this, Yan Shao was no longer using Chinese but French.
After hearing Yan Shao's words, Fu Xiuming also replied in fluent French. "That's what I'm here for..."
The first batch of people to go to France was 15 people, and the team leader was Qin Zhen.
The number of people in the second group to France was 30, and the team leader was Fu Xiuming...
Although he was born in the wilderness, but when his loyalty is guaranteed, Fu Xiuming is already the commander-in-chief of the guards and patrol teams. Because of this, he also became one of the people who were going to France.
This is also a matter of course, if it was in the past, forget it, anyway, everyone is a wild road, and it doesn't matter if the conductor is from a wild road. But after there are already people with formal military education in the army, it is somewhat not good for the command to continue like this.
So when the second batch of candidates was selected, Fu Xiuming directly put forward a request to go by himself.
Yan Shao also nodded happily in agreement, because even if Fu Xiuming didn't say so, Yan Shao would do it...
So before leaving, Fu Xiuming specially found a French teacher to teach him some daily French and French, after a long period of practice, Fu Xiuming can already be more proficient in French and French...
"Although there are many small factions in the group today, they are roughly divided into two factions, one is the dozen or so people who came back from the United States with me, and a group of returnees who came from the United States one after another, and the other group is the local faction that joined after returning to China..."
"At the beginning, because I had just returned to China, I didn't have any trustworthy people under my hands, so I had to rely on the returnees, but if you only rely on one faction alone, it is easy to have problems, especially the returnees are all from Chinatown, New York, and they are very close to each other, and some are even relatives at all, so I will promote Fu Xiuming and Li Da, who are from China, after stabilizing a little..."
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is almost impossible to have a large group without strife. From another point of view, the constant disputes between the people under his hand are actually a good thing for Yan Shao, the key is to maintain balance...
Send Fu Xiuming to France. It's to continue to maintain this balance...
"In addition, Qin Zhen's group of people is coming back soon, should I also consider strengthening the strength of the patrol team..."
According to Yan Shao's plan, wait until Fu Xiuming and these people arrive in France. Most of the first fifteen people will return to China, leaving only a small number in France to instruct Fu Xiuming on how to live.
After Qin Zhen's part returned, he would temporarily take Fu Xiuming's place, and teach the patrol battalion and guards military training in the true sense, so that they looked more like an army than a militia organization.
In addition, it is now May 1908, not far from the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising in history. Regardless of whether the Wuchang Uprising will eventually take place as it has historically been. Yan Shaodu had already decided to carry out the revolution in 11 years...
Because if Yan Shao still wants to catch up with the best opportunity of the first battle, he must launch it as soon as possible...
And with just over three years left, Yan Shao must also find a way to enhance his strength.
"Expansion is obviously unlikely..."After returning to the manor. Yan Shao, who was resting on the bed alone, muttered to himself. "Although the relationship with Zhu Jiabao's guy is quite good now, if he wants to expand it again, I'm afraid he will never agree, after all, there are nearly 1,000 guns under the group now. If only more. There were even more troops than the Qing court garrison in Wuhu, and the Qing court obviously could not allow such a situation to occur..."
"Since it is impossible to add people, we must find ways to increase the strength of the troops from other angles, such as equipment..."
"Rifles and pistols are no longer necessary, and the standard armament of the patrol and guard is now the 6.8mm G98 Mauser rifle and the Browning M1900 pistol. There are many rifles comparable to Mauser in this era, but if you talk about surpassing it, there is none, and as for pistols, the M1900 is already quite a good pistol. There is nothing better than it, but there is nothing that is substantially transcendent. Originally, there was also an M1911, but if you look at the number, you can tell that this is a weapon that will not appear until a few years later ...
"Since there is no room for renewal of rifles and pistols, it is necessary to start in other directions, such as machine guns..."
Thinking of this, Yan Shao already had a clue, but after sitting on the boat for such a long time, plus he also needed to work hard every day on the boat, and he still cultivated two fields by himself, and his body was very tired after getting off the boat, so not long after thinking about it, Yan Shao was immersed in sleep.
The next day, Yan Shao, who finally woke up, sat up from the bed, looked at Elaline and Katarina, who were hugging each other in only underwear, like a pair of twin goddesses, and hurriedly walked off the bed lightly.
After putting on his clothes and shoes, and looking back at the two people who were still asleep, Yan Shao, who pushed the door open, left the room.
"Sir..."
A few maids who were cleaning up in the corridor saw Yan Shao and hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Well, call me the butler..."
After motioning for them to get themselves something to eat, Yan Shao commanded softly.
"Yes..."
Not long after, a petite young woman approached.
Lu Ying, 16 years old, is the housekeeper of Yan Shao's manor, with extremely beautiful appearance, and her skin is even better than Elaline and Caterina. The only fly in the ointment is that her figure is a little too thin, of course, but relatively speaking, at least in Yan Shao's opinion, she is still worthy of the words 'fairy tales and big breasts', but she is still a little thinner than Elaline and them, which is also a reason why Elano and her are relieved that she is a housekeeper.
Because both Elaline and Caterina know very well that Yan Shao's favorite is still the kind of woman who has more flesh.
"You go and help me investigate and see what light machine guns are popular on the market today..."Seeing Lu Ying coming, Yan Shao hurriedly stepped forward and ordered.
As Yan Shao's housekeeper, Lu Ying also knows a lot of things, so Yan Shao is more relieved to leave these things to her. And after hearing Yan Shao's words, Lu Ying also nodded. "That's good, sir..."
Looking at Lu Ying's back as she turned to leave, Yan Shao shook his head with some regret. "It's a pity, it would be nice if I had a fuller figure..."
Lu Ying was rescued from her father not long after Yan Shao returned to China...
The so-called tiger poison does not eat children, the vast majority of parents in this world are good to their children, but there are always some parents who are not even worthy of being human beings will exist in this world world.
This is the case with Lu Ying. Her mother died after giving birth to her, and her father was a standard gambler. It only took a short time to ruin the originally wealthy home, and he also owed a lot of gambling debts. In the end, there was no choice, Lu Ying's father had to send his only daughter to the Qinglou...
At that time, Yan Shao was coming out of the Qinglou, and he happened to see this incident, so he bought her from her father.
Although there are countless people who have similar encounters in this world, for example, there are people in the Qinglou who just came out of the house, and Yan Shao can't manage it at all, but it is better to save one than not to save one...
By the way. After learning the true situation from Lu Ying's mouth, not long after leaving, Yan Shao asked Fu Xiuming to take someone to beat her father.
And Lu Ying at that time was only 13 or 4 years old...
Wait until Yan Shao takes her back to the manor. Nearly missed being thrown out of the window by Elinor and Caterina. However, after learning what happened to Lu Ying, the attitude of the two immediately changed, and Lu Ying became the personal maid of the two—————— keeping them by their side to prevent Yan Shao from stealing food.
After that, because of some literacy. Lu Ying became the steward of this manor. Managing everything on the estate, the house has become a place where there are no male animals at all.
It's not that Yan Shao doesn't believe in Eleno and them, Yan Shao would rather believe that they will castrate themselves than believe that they will betray him.
It's just that the young and strong Yan Shao is at an age of 24-hour estrus, not only in the bedroom, but also in the pool, bathroom and even the corridor and living room were once places where the three of them were in estrus. It doesn't matter what those maids are, they're all women anyway. It doesn't matter if anyone in it has a lily tendency, but if it's a man, even if it's just a little bit of being looked at, Yan Shao will suffer a big loss, so naturally, the house has become a place where male animals are forbidden to enter...
————————————————————
For Lu Ying, Yan Shao can be said to be like a life-saving benefactor, as long as it is what he orders, Lu Ying will naturally work hard to do it.
So after leaving Yan Shao, Lu Ying quickly instructed the servants outside the house to investigate the matter. And with the relationship network of Yushi Group in Shanghai, it quickly got a very detailed list.
"Is that all?" the teeth opened slightly, and a pleasant voice came from Zhu Li.
"Yes, Steward Lu..." nodded, and the second steward lowered his head and said.
If there is a big housekeeper, there will naturally be a second housekeeper, after all, such a large manor can't be managed by one person alone, and there are also many male servants outside the house, and these people also need someone to manage them.
And because there are more male servants than women in the manor, except for Lu Ying, almost all the housekeepers are men.
Despite this, no one has ever dared to be disrespectful to Lu Ying as a woman, not only because she is deeply trusted by Yan Shao and Elaino, but also because there are rumors circulating in the manor that her relationship with Yan Shao is not clean, and it is spread in a good way.
Of course, things are not so outrageous, after all, Yan Shao was watched by the two of them, and he had no chance to steal food, not to mention that the two of them also developed a lot of eyeliner in the house.
However, this kind of thing has always been rather credible than not, and Lu Ying's appearance is also seen by these people, plus Yan Shao is no different from a hungry ghost in the eyes of others, so naturally he doesn't believe that such a beauty has been left by his side for several years...
didn't pay much attention to the attitude of the second housekeeper, and after nodding, Lu Ying took the form and turned around and left.
When she returned to the manor, Yan Shao was eating breakfast there.
"How? Got it done? ”
Seeing that Lu Ying came back so soon, Yan Shao asked after putting down the bowl in his hand.
"There's a message from Shanghai, this is the form..."
Walking to Yan Shao's side, Lu Ying stretched out her slender hand and put the form on the desktop beside Yan Shao.
After the form was placed on the table, Yan Shao didn't pick it up, but just picked up the bowl again and read it while eating, while Lu Ying on the side just stood quietly by the side and looked at him.
After the meal was almost finished, Yan Shao finally finished reading the content on the form.
After wiping his mouth and handing the form to Lu Ying, Yan Shao said softly. "Send someone to send a telegram to Lihe Foreign Bank in Shanghai, saying that I have some business I want to talk to Lihe Foreign Company, and ask them to send a manager to Wuhu..."
As Germany's largest foreign firm in the Far East, ordinary businessmen are not qualified to let the manager of Lihe Foreign Company come to visit in person, even if it is only the deputy manager, but as the largest partner of Lihe Foreign Company today and the largest industrialist in China, Yan Shao still has this qualification.
And after listening to Yan Shao's words, Lu Ying also nodded. "I'll do it..."
Nowadays, wireless telegraphy has almost become the main communication equipment within the Yushi Group, even Yan Shao's mansion has two wireless telegraphies, but there is no wireless telegraphy in Shanghai. Historically, in 1908, British businessmen set up a radio station at the Huizhong Hotel in the British Concession in Shanghai to communicate with ships at sea. Later, it was bought by the Qing government and moved to the Shanghai Telegraph Bureau, which was the earliest radio station in Shanghai. Although it was already 1908, it was still a few months before the British merchants set up a radio station in the concession.
Therefore, Lu Ying did not use the wireless telegraph in the mansion, but sent someone to take a horse-drawn carriage to the local telegraph office in Wuhu, and sent a telegram to Lihe and the foreign company in Shanghai through the telegraph office.
The content on the telegram is also very simple, that is, the things that Yan Shao instructed her to do...
