Hu Xueyan said very formally, and his tone was also loud, it seemed that the establishment of a silk export and sales association was a great thing, but Yixuan only nodded slightly, very calm, Hu Xueyan was surprised and very admired, in the end, it was a central minister, a foreign general, and a little silk business was really not in his eyes.

"Xueyan, you did a lot of business in Zhejiang before," Yixuan pressed his left hand and asked Hu Xueyan to sit down again, "Although I don't know the inside, I also understand that the relationship between you and Zuo Xiang, in the final analysis, I am just an errand for the prime minister's yamen, and I can't be the master of this central matter." ”

Hu Xueyan's first benefactor is naturally Wang Youling, in the old years Hu Xueyan took a fancy to Wang Youling's ability, and helped Wang Youling to enter Beijing for five hundred taels to make a little relationship, and then the officials were elected, and went to Huzhou as the prefect, after the Taiping army raged, Zhejiang was in danger, the world felt that all parts of the southeast were regarded as eunuchs Huangquan Road, and they were afraid of life and death and did not dare to come to serve, Wang Youling was also a talent, Huzhou made a great effort in the offensive and defensive war, and got Zuo Zongtang's blue eyes, and in a few years from the Huzhou prefect, the Hangzhou prefect, the Zhejiang political envoy, and the governor of Zhejiang, Finally, when Zuo Zongtang was transferred to the governor of Xinjiang, he also served as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. Within three days, 100,000 stones of grain were raised to supply the Zuo army to quell the rebellion, showing his talents in front of Zuo Zongtang, and so that Zuo Zongtang could rely on him as a cadre. He set up porridge factories, good halls, and righteous mats, repaired famous temples and ancient temples, and collected hundreds of thousands of violent corpses; The ox carts, which had been terminated by the war, were restored to facilitate the people; Solicited donations from large officials and gentry to solve the post-war financial crisis. As a result, Hu Xueyan's reputation has been greatly enhanced, and his credibility has also been greatly improved. In this way, the money will be rolling in. Since the Qing army captured Zhejiang, all the things plundered by generals and generals, regardless of size, were stored in Hu Xueyan's money village. Hu used this as his capital to engage in trading activities, set up businesses in various cities and towns, and made a lot of profits, and in just a few years, his family property exceeded 10 million yuan. Hu Xueyan went to Lanzhou in person, sat in the northwest, and spent a lot of money to collect the grain of the tribes on the Silk Road, so that the logistics grain and grass in the west to quell the rebellion all the way do not have to worry about it, and the household department also reciprocated the peach, not only the logistics grain and grass were converted into cash and delivered to Hu Xueyan for cooking, but also the official road from Lanzhou to Hami was given to Hu Xueyan to build, this official road was far away, sparsely populated, and the world felt that this was a money-losing business, who knew that Hu Xueyan found another way, While building, while selling goods from all over the Western Regions, because of Lanzhou's convenience to the northwest goods, the Lanzhou woolen factory was built, and British machines were bought to do cashmere business. Before the official road was completed, the profits obtained in commerce and trade had already earned back all the investment in the official road. After discussing the merits of countering the rebellion, Hu Xueyan ranked fourth in logistics, only after a few officials in the household department, the queen mother gave the title of yellow coat and the second rank of political envoy.

Not to mention the new Nanyang Naval Division in Zhejiang and Fujian, he also participated in it. In the fifth year of Tongzhi, the imperial court approved Zuo Zongtang's performance and ordered him to preside over the establishment of a shipyard in Mawei, Fujian, and supervise the construction of ships. Hu Xueyan found a French technician to assist Zuo Zongtang in preparing for the construction of the shipyard. But not long after the shipyard started, the imperial court suddenly ordered Zuo Zongtang to be transferred to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. Before Zuo Zongtang took office, he recommended Shen Baozhen, the governor of Jiangxi, to the imperial court as the minister of shipping, and on the other hand, he tried his best to recommend Hu Xueyan to assist in handling all the specific affairs of the shipping administration.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Tongzhi, the shipyard's first steamship "Wannianqing" was successfully launched. When people saw the steamer for the first time in China, the crowd was jubilant and unprecedented, and even the foreigners were deeply amazed. At the beginning of the tenth year of Tongzhi, the "Zhenhai" military ship was successfully launched. Zuo Zongtang, who was far away on the border, learned of these news and wrote a special letter to Hu Xueyan: "The Fujian Bureau is getting better and better, and the ships do not need foreign craftsmen, which is good news...... Your Excellency's initiative is a great achievement. Seeing that the apprentice is becoming more and more sophisticated, the beauty is overwhelming, and the driver is easy to choose, the harm of going to the sea, and the benefit of the sea, this is a big turning point for China, from the poor and weak to the rich and strong, which is based on this. "It can be seen that trust is like this.

Yixuan smiled, "It's not that I won't come to help with such a thing, but if Xueyan goes and asks Zuo Xiang to come forward, how can you not do it?" ”

Hu Xueyan smiled and explained, "Isn't there a saying that county officials are better than being in charge? Lord Belle is in charge of this, is there anyone I have who doesn't come to worship the true Buddha? Come to beg you this big Buddha is the most deserved, besides, I don't hide it from you, now I also know a thing or two about this situation, the villain is from Zhejiang, the king of parliament...... But it's hard to say. ”

Of course, the meaning of these words is that Prince Gong has already tried every possible means to make Zuo Zongtang look good, if Hu Xueyan goes straight to Zuo Zongtang, don't think about it, the Prime Minister Yamen, who is controlled by Prince Gong, will never be able to do it. It's too late to weaken Zuo Zongtang, and can you add strength to the richest God of Wealth under Zuo Zongtang? Dream on. "In order to prevent the taboo of the king of the council, I came to Lord Belle with a cheeky face."

"I know about this," Yi Xuan understood his inside, and he also knew Hu Xueyan's request, but he didn't know what the use of this so-called chamber of commerce was, he picked up the tea and motioned to send the guests, "You just go back and listen to the letter." ”

Yi Xuan originally thought that this chamber of commerce was just for a while, it was not of much use, he and Bao Jun were both flag people, and the things they were in charge of were close to each other, thinking about this kind of thing, and there was no need to ask the king of parliament to be so troublesome, and the next day he went to the palace to see Bao Jun at the military aircraft to say a little about it, and Bao Jun's head had already shaken into a rattle.

"I said Lord Belle, these businessmen are all shrewd ghosts, and they want to rely on our golden signboard to scare people, let me ask you, this chamber of commerce, he can do it himself, why should we show him?"

"Maybe there are a lot of big businessmen in the southeast, and he can't compete with them, so he came to the DPRK to seek support?" Yixuan said uncertainly.

"This is also a point, more just afraid that he wants to unify the silk business to the outside world, to be a real silkworm god, that chamber of commerce he built himself, but I am afraid that no one will pay attention to it, and it will not be able to determine the price of silk sales, if we give him a head and become this chamber of commerce, I am afraid that the price of silk sent to foreign countries, foreigners will say that it doesn't count."
