Enming's death caused a lot of trouble for Yan Shao, especially for the activities of the Reform Society.

Because of Enming's assassination by the Liberation Society, the government's search of the revolutionary party became much stricter, and many people from the League and the Liberation Society were searched.

At this point, Yan Shao was also a little glad that he had created the Innovation Society in the first place, if it weren't for the Innovation Society as a cover, it was hard to say whether the government would have noticed anything.

In the conference room of the office building, the faces of everyone present were not very good-looking, because the government has been tracking down the revolutionary party very tightly recently, and even the business of their group has been hindered a lot.

"Recently, the government will be more tight, everyone should be careful when acting, so as not to be found out by the government..."

Fingers tapped on the desktop, and Yan Shao said with a serious face.

Recently, every two or three days, someone from the government will come to the door, let him pay attention, if he finds the appearance of a revolutionary party in the company, he will immediately report Yunyun, at first it may be nothing, after a period of time it really annoyed him...

"Don't worry, boss..."As soon as Yan Shao's words were finished, Li Liang on the side had already said. I've already told me to go down, and there shouldn't be any problems..."

Hearing Li Liang say this, Yan Shao nodded, but at this time, there were other people's voices arguing in the conference room.

"But now that the government is investigating so tightly, do we just keep doing nothing?"

"What's the solution? Now that the situation is different, it's better to be careful..."

Listening to the following arguments, Yan Shao's face also showed a wry smile.

Although the government's investigation is not aimed at them. But it still makes people's hearts become impetuous.

After a while, seeing that the voice of the argument had not calmed down, Yan Shao knocked on the table. "Okay, don't fight, the dormancy is only temporary, anyway, the proposition of our reform association is to give priority to the development of the economy, and now it should be a steady development for a period of time..."

Heard Yan Shao say this. The others nodded.

After a period of development, the purpose and proposition of the Innovation Council have been established, that is, to give priority to economic development. And the basis of the economy is industry—————— at least in this era. With the help of economic achievements, the living standards and overall quality of the people will be improved, and when everything is almost ready, we will enter the constitutional stage.

Once this was established at the meeting, the Innovation Society quickly went into hibernation and became much more cautious.

The other side. After getting Yan Shao's signal. Lu Chuanguang also sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Alliance, explaining the situation here in detail.

After learning that the government was conducting a strict search, the League also signaled that they could suspend other activities as long as they could ensure that there were no problems with donations.

During this period, Wuhu was able to provide donations of at least one or two hundred yuan almost every month, which was almost as important as several key fund-raising areas in Hong Kong, Nanyang and Japan.

After getting permission from the Alliance, Lu Chuanguang was also relieved. And then, of course, they hibernated.

After entering a dormant state, the Innovation will continue to cease all activity on the surface. Only minor activities remain. Of course, this is the real innovation meeting in the shadows, and the other innovation society is to increase its activities, trying to attract everyone's attention and cover the 'innovation society' hidden in the shadows...

Not only did he vigorously promote the propaganda of constitutionalism, but Yan Shao even went to Shanghai to attend a meeting organized by the Preparatory Association for Constitutionalism at the invitation of Zhang Jian.

At this time, the time had entered 1907, and constitutional organizations in various places continued to appear like leeks, such as the Hunan Constitutional Association, the Zhili Constitutional Research Association, the Hubei Constitutional Preparatory Association and the Guizhou Constitutional Preparatory Association...

"There aren't many modest young people like you now..."After the meeting, Zhang Jian patted Yan Shao's shoulder and said, Yan Shao's discovery in the meeting just now was all pointed, and he didn't steal the limelight from him as Zhang Jian was worried about, which made Zhang Jian very happy in his heart.

Yan Shao pursed his lips in his heart, but he still said on his face. "Where, I still have a lot to learn from my predecessors...", he said and nodded to the other old men beside him, most of these old people were members of the Shanghai Preparatory Constitutional Association, and they all had considerable status and influence, so Yan Shao didn't want to offend them easily.

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Zhang Jian and several other old men nodded with a little relief.

Before the meeting began, they were really worried that Yan Shao would be too arrogant because of the young man's ambition. Moreover, they also knew what Yan Shao was doing right with the Japanese in Shanghai, especially Zhang Jian himself, who suffered a lot because of this, and they were also worried that Yan Shao would show the strength to deal with the Japanese at the meeting, so that the hearts of these old guys would not be too stimulated.

"If you have time, you can stop by my house for a meal, and by the way, let my family be more motivated by the few things that are not competitive..."

Yan Shao, who unconsciously became a 'child of someone else', smiled bitterly, but did not say anything to refuse.

The old men on the side laughed on the side after hearing Zhang Jian's words. "Then you can make some preparations...", he turned to Yan Shao and said. You don't know how to do it, this guy has benefited a lot after the Japanese are unlucky, if you don't let him take out some of it, you will be busy in vain..."

Hearing those people say this, Zhang Jian laughed and scolded them.

When the Japanese were still strong, they often bought cotton at a higher price in Nantong, so that Zhang Jian's Dasheng Yarn Factory had to follow suit, and it became miserable at the very end. This problem became even more serious when Japanese businessmen began to dump in the Yangtze River basin.

It was not until later that Yan Shao succeeded in hitting the Japanese businessmen hard, causing many Japanese businessmen involved in the dumping to suffer heavy losses, and even had to close the factory to protect themselves, and the price of cotton in Nantong suddenly dropped, even to the point when Dasheng first opened.

In addition, at this time, the fine staple cotton planted by Yan Shao in the Jianghuai Plain had begun to be harvested, and he had no intention of competing with Zhang Jian for the chicken foot cotton that was already like chicken ribs, and Zhang Jian's life was naturally much easier.

————————————————————

After bidding farewell to the old men, Yan Shao followed Zhang Jian to his home in Shanghai.

When it was time for dinner, in front of Zhang Jian's children and nephews, Yan Shao also made a cameo appearance as 'someone else's child', you must know that the role of Lu Dao is the most disgusting for Yan Shao in later generations, especially when Yan Shao has never been a 'child of someone else'.

So in front of those young people who were more than ten years older than Yan Shao, Yan Shao was so boasted by Zhang Jian, and Yan Shao was a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, today's topic is not these, and as one of China's leading industrialists, Zhang Jian's food naturally does not look very shabby. And after a full meal, Zhang Jian also explained to Yan Shao the intention of inviting him this time.

"Congressional petition?"

Hearing Zhang Jian mention this word, Yan Shao frowned slightly.

"That's right."

If Yan Shao was too arrogant at the daytime meeting, maybe Zhang Jian would not have invited him, after all, it would be easy to steal the limelight from Zhang Jian and even the Shanghai Constitutional Organization, but Yan Shao's attitude during the day made him and several other people very satisfied, so Zhang Jian also invited Yan Shao over, and also wanted to increase the influence of this congressional petition.

"Now that constitutional organizations have sprung up in various places, I and some others believe that the time has come for a constitution, so we plan to wait until a year later, when all the constitutional organizations in the whole country have been established, to hold a meeting in Beijing and launch a petition campaign to demand that the imperial court carry out constitutional government ahead of schedule..." This was the main reason why Zhang Jian invited Yan Shao to Shanghai this time.

Although the Reform Association can only be regarded as the second constitutional organization, because of Yan Shao's relationship, in terms of influence, it is not inferior to the Preparatory Constitutional Association, and there are even many excesses, so Zhang Jian plans to bring Yan Shao with him when he petitions, so as to increase the momentum and influence of the petition.

However, before that, we also need to observe Yan Shao's attitude and temperament, after all, Zhang Jian also has certain demands. If Yan Shao was invited over but overshadowed them, wouldn't that be a stone-shifter? The constitutionalists pursued constitutionalism not only for the sake of the country, but also for their own interests.

Yan Shaozhi said that this is a very famous parliamentary petition movement in history, and he also knows that this sports meeting will fail with the emergence of the 'imperial cabinet'. However, at present, the constitutionalists everywhere are very involved in this, and Yan Shao will naturally not stand up and ruin everyone's temperament...

"Rest assured, Elder Zhang is naturally willing to contribute to such a thing for the country and the people..."

Put down the chopsticks, arched his hand, and said solemnly.

Of course, it depends on the time whether he will go or not, because there is another plan in his heart at this time. When time permits, he doesn't mind accompanying these constitutionalists to Beijing, but if time doesn't allow it...

Then all I have to say is sorry...

On the other hand, after hearing Yan Shao say this, Zhang Jian also showed a satisfied expression, he didn't think Yan Shao would object, after all, after the success of the constitution, the biggest beneficiaries were those capitalists or people with local reputation...

"Then I'll leave everything to my nephew...", Zhang Jian raised the wine glass in his hand. (To be continued......)
