5-22 Preparations
What is strange is that Liu Ziguang made such a big mess in the city, and he didn't see the government's wanton search, but it was silently calmed down.
"Maybe Shanghai has sensed that they won't make trouble at this cusp." Hu Yimin said.
"It's not normal for dogs who don't bark to bite people, they are so honest, it's not normal for people from all walks of life to arrive in the past two days, I'll go back to Suzhou first, and when the troops are deployed, they will drive to Shanghai, and those people in the Bosi actually dare to wear python robes and sit in a green sedan chair casually, I can handle them all, plus the bribery evidence provided by Lai Youwei, half of the officials in Shanghai Road have to get off the horse this time, believe it or not." Liu Ziguang remembered that sissy's promotion, and he was angry and wanted to take down this kid and punish him.
"Chen Ziang is the brother-in-law of the Governor, he usually cares for him, you will definitely anger Governor Cheng if you take him under the knife, Shanghai is not as prosperous as Suzhou, there are too many temptations, you dispatch so many people's interests, you will definitely encounter a strong rebound. If it weren't for their actions, which seriously affected the interests of our Rishengchang, I would not be willing to be their enemy. ”
"This is wrong, Hu Da shopkeeper forgot our agreement, you help me in the household department to make some efforts to operate the auction of Qishuyan Machinery Factory well, I will help you put the Shanghai Bo Division in order, we are allies, today's court has a large number of talents, those civil ministers and military generals, which one does not have the support of a wealthy family, we don't start, they will also start, this world is very difficult, it is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, we have to be in the same boat." Liu Ziguang spoke earnestly, and even wanted to reach out and pat Hu Yimin's shoulder, but when his hand stretched out, he suddenly realized that the other party was a girl, so he hurriedly put his hand behind his head and scratched it.
Hu Yimin is actually not bad looking, but she has been in the position of the treasurer of Rishengchang for a long time, and the temperament of a leader naturally formed is inherent, as soon as she sees her, Liu Ziguang thinks of the image of a strong woman sitting behind the desk and wearing a suit and skirt, and has never regarded her as a woman.
"To make you laugh, in fact, many times I want to leave it all behind and go to seclusion in the mountains and forests, power struggles, and bloodshed, these should be things that men do, but my father trained me when I was a child, trained me, and let me learn to survive and learn to fight in this world of the jungle, these are not what I like, alas, I tell you what to do, forget it, I still have to leave in advance." Miss Hu accidentally showed a little bit of a little daughter's gesture, and left with a few complaints.
The Meilin brand canned food is produced by hand, the output is not high, but the sales are indeed as good as Liu Ziguang expected, the first day of the production of 200 bottles, all of them were provided free of charge to the sailors on the ocean-going ship, after tasting the response, they have booked, just the deposit received a few hundred silver dollars, the shantytown women are as happy as the New Year.
The career of the Axe Gang is also progressing very quickly, maybe it is Lai Youwei who said hello, the surrounding gangs have recognized their existence, and they have come to worship a few bosses and Lin Sheng, although Lin Sheng is young, he is still quite old-fashioned, and he is not ambiguous when he should be called a brother, and he has a sweet race, and he has begged for a life on the dock since he was a child, and he knows that the boss who can get out of the way is not by force, but by brains and means.
After taking care of these things, Liu Ziguang quietly rushed back to Suzhou, and it happened that the batch of silk and satin that was being made by Jiangnan weaving had been completed, so he took the whole class to Shanghai by train to inspect it.
During the time Liu Ziguang left, Liu kitten lived very comfortably, she collected a large number of wild cats from nowhere, and got into the Grand View Garden, which directly led to the fragrance of flowers and birds, and there was no more pleasant birdsong in the Grand View Garden, even the koi in the pond could not escape the bad luck, some people were strange, no matter how powerful this wild cat was, it would not go into the water to catch fish, who would have thought that Liu Xiaomei, who was dressed as a lady, would be able to jump into the water to catch fish。
Han Xue'er also followed the nonsense, fed the cats, caught the fish and caught the birds, and fully cooperated with Liu Xiaomei and the two of them to make the Grand View Garden a miasma.
After Liu Ziguang came back, he saw this situation, but he just smiled lightly, Liu kitten belongs to wild animals, Han Xueer is also a rural female doll, and she is not a big family lady with a family education, this simple character is more cute in his opinion, and it needs to be protected.
After going to Shanghai for a few days, the official letters accumulated were piled up on a table, including intelligence materials from Nanchang, secret decrees from the emperor, and personal letters from the iron factory.
Liu Ziguang first opened Peng Jingrong's family letter, although there is already an advanced and fast means of communication such as the telegraph, but Peng Jingrong still likes to use the relatively ancient means of Hongyan to pass on the book, open the envelope, pull out a stack of fragrant letterhead, full of paper, Juan Xiu's fly-headed small letters, full of longing, the first few pages are talking about some trivial things, and later mentioned the illness of the Peng factory owner, saying that the old man heard that there was an opportunity to annex Qishuyan Machinery Factory, but he actually came, and his mental condition has improved greatly, and now he can eat two bowls of porridge, and he can also be supported by people to walk on the ground, if possible, the old man also wants to go to Changzhou to participate in the auction in person。
At the end of the letter, it was said that the weather was getting colder, so Liu Ziguang paid attention to keeping warm and adding more clothes. After reading the letter, Liu Ziguang's heart rose with a warmth, and he opened the emperor's secret decree with a smile, and the content of the secret decree was no different from what he expected, nothing more than strong support, let him let go of his hands, just do something, and the emperor helped him carry it.
It's much easier to do things with secret intentions, at least not afraid of the noise of those imperial histories. There are many official documents in the south factory, first of all, the report on the recent situation in the imperial court, Qiu Yan in the smooth progress, the Shandong students who represent the interests of Liu Ziguang and the technical personnel selected by the iron factory have participated in the examination, it is estimated that no one dares to embarrass them, as long as they have real talent and real learning, this time the examination out of a few jinshi is not a problem.
The turmoil of Jiangnan weaving did not cause much turmoil in the imperial court, after all, the Cao family's momentum was not as good as before, and no one stood up for them, but there was a big dispute about the appointment of the next Jiangnan weaving envoy, which was a fat and fat shortage, but now Jiangnan weaving has been under the actual control of Liu Ziguang, no matter who is the weaving envoy, it can only be a puppet.
According to Liu Ziguang's order, the focus of the work of the secret service of the South Factory has recently shifted to Shanghai: the secret agents of the East Factory that were planted in Shanghai in the past are all in contact, and the eavesdropping team under the guise of an electric light company is also stationed in Shanghai, and the elite forces of the Red Shirt Regiment are also secretly moving southward, and the advance team has already rented a large Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Shanghai, and the follow-up team carrying technical weapons will disguise themselves as caravans, and will march from the railway and waterway at the same time, and will arrive in Shanghai in a few days.
The identity of the group of assassins who ambushed the Qincha special car on the railroad last time has been found out a little, according to the conclusion of the autopsy, these people have broad faces, straight heads, slightly compass legs, calluses between the index finger of the right hand, and middle fingers, they should be northerners with long-term experience in horseback riding and archery, in other words, it is likely that the Manchu cavalry has changed their clothes, these people all have the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, from the inside to the outside, they are also made of southern real estate cloth, and it seems that they have made preparations for a long time in order to infiltrate the Ming Realm.
Ninety percent of this group of people is a special unit of the Manchu Military Aircraft Department! Actually played special operations to my head, Liu Ziguang sneered, and said that it was not rude to go back and forth, and the Nanchang also had to prepare some gifts for a return visit, anyway, there are many soldiers in Shandong who are familiar with Manchu habits and can speak Manchu, and it is easy to do it, anyway, those people's heads have not grown up yet, and then they will look like money rat tails.
At the bottom of the official document was a message from the guards in the palace, only a short sentence: The eldest princess paraded Jiangnan in micro-clothes.
Liu Ziguang covered his scrolls and pondered, the eldest princess Bacheng came for herself, so it is very likely that she will go to Shanghai, a place that is about to have a bloody storm, that is to block the princess in Suzhou, or to go to Shanghai with her?
He thought twice. It was decided that the princess could not be allowed to go to the land of right and wrong.
"Come on, get ready to pack and go out early tomorrow morning." Lord-sama Chincha passed down the order. Early the next morning, two trains departed from Suzhou Station, one in front was a special car for Lord Qincha, and the other was a wagon carrying silk in the back.
Lord Qincha's trip to Suzhou, the two of them are the biggest beneficiaries, one is about to climb to the high position of the prefect, the other is favored by the governor of Nanchang, is about to soar, the faces of both of them are smiling like chrysanthemums, they regard themselves as the descendants of Zhenwu Bo, prepare a lot of Suzhou specialties and send them to the adult's special car, see the young maids around Lord Qincha, and also select a group of girls who show off their skills and feet to send to the train.
I think it's a very normal thing to be corrupt about the rule of officials, even if a modern person like the protagonist Da Da is in power, it's inevitable **a**, but the capable ZF is far more efficient than an incorruptible but incompetent ZF, just say I'm clean enough, it's not the same.
Small, efficient, and honest can only appear under the high level of people's education and the high degree of perfection of the system, and it is impossible to be honest in the embryonic period of capitalism at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
