The sixth uncle was together, everyone stood up to send each other, Lin Yuan gave Zhang Hua a look, signaling that the symposium could be over, so Zhang Hua said: "Let's talk about it here today, everyone is very busy, so I won't invite everyone to dinner, everyone please go back."

Everyone greeted each other and walked outside, and when there were only two people left in the room, Zhang Hua and Lin Yuan were left, Zhang Hua sighed heavily, and said: "The Qing court wants to ban the Northeast People's Bank, it seems that civil war is inevitable!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't be so pessimistic, things are far from the point where they need to be solved by war." ”

Zhang Hua said: "Now that the Qing court has sensed that we are in control of the country's financial lifeline, I can't think of any other solution than war!" Zhang Hua sighed and said, "Let's just go straight to Beijing!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's not the time yet!" ”

Zhang Hua smiled helplessly and said, "You always say that now is not the time, so let me ask you, what is the time?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "At least stabilize the economy of the society, as long as the economy of a society is stable, then the change of power will not have much impact on the lives of the people, and finance is an important part of economic stability, so we must stabilize finance." ”

Zhang Hua said: "But will they put the financial power in your hands? ”

Lin Yuan said: "I know Emperor Guangxu and the Empress Dowager Cixi very well, and I understand the psychology of people even more, for people like the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi, it is difficult to change their way of thinking and knowledge structure, and it is difficult to change the nature of the country, which means that those of them don't know what Ludao Finance is, so they will definitely not make up their minds to break with us on this!" You won't fight with me! ”

Zhang Hua immediately said: "You are pinning all your hopes on your opponent, let me ask you, what if the Qing court makes up its mind to break with you?" They're really going to fight you! ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a plan, not only can make our Northeast People's Bank the only bank in China to issue currency, but also eradicate the power of foreigners' banks, and even make the imperial court praise me, kill three birds with one stone, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhang Hua asked, "Is there such a plan?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Of course there is, listening to the meaning of the sixth uncle, the Qing court has a lot of trust in the envoys of the foreigners, that is, the banks of the foreigners are very trusting, so the core of my plan is to make the Qing court lose its trust in the banks of the foreigners!" ”

Zhang Hua thought for a long time and said, "It's so abstract, can't you be more specific?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Do you say that foreigners are doing good things on our Chinese soil? ”

Zhang Hua said: "Of course I don't do it!" There is no living Lei Feng among foreigners! ”

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, take Shanghai as an example, how many foreigners' factories are calling workers like slaves? How much opium did foreigners bring in from Shanghai Port in the name of foreign medicine? How many villagers have been lured by foreigners from nearby villages to work in foreign countries? In short, there are many of the evil demons we eradicated in Yingkou Port, and there are many more! ”

Zhang Hua asked, "Does this have anything to do with the foreigner's bank?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Those transactions are all profiteering industries, where do they put the money they earn?" Can you put it on yourself? Isn't it still going to be in the bank? Therefore, as long as I use a little means, I can build the foreigner's bank into an accomplice to the foreigner's criminal power, and then I will see how the two in the Forbidden City will trust the foreigner's bank! ”

Zhang Huaha smiled and said, "This idea is so good! ”

Lin Yuan also smiled: "Then I'm going to implement the plan!" After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he walked out of the house, found Shen Wanqing and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to find news!" ”

Shen Wanqing looked at Lin Yuan suspiciously, and asked, "Looking for news?" What do you mean? ”

Lin Yuan briefly talked about what he heard at the symposium today and his own countermeasures, and then said: "Let's go to the Kanto newspaper office first, and then go to find the news." ”

The Kanto Newspaper, which was founded by the Beijing ship, has now become the newspaper with the largest circulation in the country, and has branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities, as soon as Lin Yuan arrived at the branch, the president inside came to greet him, Lin Yuan was really surprised when he saw it, it turned out that this branch chief turned out to be Qiu Jin, Lin Yuan looked at Shen Wanqing in surprise and said, "Why don't you tell me that the president is her?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "I'll give you a surprise, let's go in and talk." ”

When the two sides sat down, Qiu Jin asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, do you have anything to do with me?" One sentence made Shen Wanqing's face crimson, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Starting tomorrow, our newspaper will come to make a series of reports, and the theme of the report is: Is it difficult to live a difficult life for ordinary people in Shanghai?" ”

Qiu Jin said: "We also want to do such a topic, but after our research, we found that such a topic may stimulate the Qing court, so we have been putting it away, and no one has gone to interview and collect materials. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the materials will be personally handled by me and your sister Wanqing, and you can just prepare the other work." Lin Yuan deliberately accentuated the word "Sister Wanqing" to echo "brother-in-law", and then glanced at Shen Wanqing provocatively, Shen Wanqing hurriedly turned her head.

Qiu Jin looked at Shen Wanqing and laughed evilly, then took out a small notebook from a cabinet on the side, handed the notebook to Lin Yuan, and said: "This is our statistics on the wages of factory workers, many residents in Shanghai are workers, and the factory will never be able to get around the difficult life of the people in Shanghai." ”

Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing came out of the newspaper, Shen Wanqing took a small notebook as a text reporter, Lin Yuan carried a camera as a photojournalist, Lin Yuan took out the small notebook, pointed to the one with the lowest salary and said, "Let's go to this 'Zhihe Yarn Factory' first." ”

The two of them then went to Zhihe Yarn Factory, and on the way Shen Wanqing asked, "Will they let us go in for an interview?" What if they stop us? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "If they dare to stop it, we don't have to conflict with them, just say that there are shady things in the factory, anyway, they will suffer in the end." ”

The two came to the yarn factory while talking, only to see a carriage at the door at this time, the carriage was piled with cotton like a hill, dozens of strong men were unloading the cotton from the carriage and carrying it into the factory, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing followed the strong men into the factory, at this time the strong men had already unloaded the cotton from the carriage and put it in the yard, and they were all sitting on the cotton pile to rest.

At this time, a strong man said to Lin Yuan: "Brother, what are you doing?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "We are reporters. ”

The strong man smiled and said, "It turned out to be a reporter, what are you here to interview?" ”

Lin Yuan approached the strong man and whispered, "I see that the wages of your yarn factory are very low, so I want to take a look." ”

The strong man listened to Lin Yuan's words, pointed to a large warehouse on the side with his hand, and said mysteriously: "Then you should go to that warehouse to have a look!" ”
