Leaving the French Concession, Zhao Chuanxin took people to the British Concession again.

As usual, British soldiers did not dare to stop at the entrance of the original concession.

A group of people went on a rampage and got inside the fence built by the British.

In front of a Byzantine Orthodox church, a Russian missionary said to Zhao Chuanxin in English with a big tongue: "Sir, this is a church, you can't break in." Why don't you come into my church......"

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him, folded his hands and said: "Oh, Almighty God, please let Zhao make a fortune, please let all the little Japanese devils die, please let all the powers go to hell......"

The preacher immediately waved his hand: "No, no, no, we should praise the Lord, not support the Lord." ”

Zhao Chuanxin immediately turned his face: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I didn't do anything for Lao Tzu, why let Lao Tzu praise him?" Roll the calves! ”

Preacher: "......"

Behind him, Liu Huaqiang burst out laughing, Mr. Zhao is really a pragmatist.

After Zhao Chuanxin took people to visit the concession of Shikoku, Zhao Erxun stopped him at the entrance of the Japanese concession.

"Gongrang, your beard is white, why are you still running to the front line?" Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said: "The Japanese learned to assassinate Li Hongzhang back then, maybe they ambushed me somewhere, and they were ready to put a cold gun on me, be careful to splash blood." ”

Zhao Erxun said awe-inspiringly: "The old man will definitely not be afraid, just repay the country with blood." ”

"Who wouldn't brag? There are no outsiders here, don't pretend, tell me what are you doing to me? ”

"......" A group of students stared straight at it, you say there are no outsiders? Zhao Erxun coughed: "How to manage the concession land you get?" Concessions in various countries will withdraw their patrols. ”

"Isn't there still a patrol at the gate of your Hankow? Let them come to these areas to patrol and investigate. ”

Zhao Erxun's face was solemn: "Where does the money and food come from?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin immediately turned his face: "Don't look at our surnames Zhao, but you old boy can't take advantage of me." The land acquired will be used to build many colleges. Isn't the cultivated talent still flowing into all walks of life in Hankou in the end? I'm here to benefit society, but you're here to gather wool? What about your morals? What about social responsibility? I haven't asked you for the money to build the academy yet......"

Zhao Erxun: "......"

He turned his back to the students, and said in a low and helpless voice: "It doesn't matter if you send patrols and patrols, we don't say secret words, you Zhao Tangong has obtained so much concession land, you must not establish a country within a country." ”

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes flickered: "In this way, the great powers have evil intentions, even if the land is handed over to the hands of waste such as Er, it will definitely be eaten back." It is better to let me take charge of it, and when it comes to 1912, it will be handed back to the state. But before that, all the taxes collected belonged to me. ”

Zhao Erxun's first reaction was to disagree.

Isn't this a nation within a state?

He frowned and said, "I'm afraid the imperial court won't agree." ”

"You're thinking too much." Zhao Chuanxin patted Zhao Erxun on the shoulder: "I'm here to inform you, not to discuss." ”

Zhao Erxun snapped his fingers and secretly calculated that it was only five years, and the imperial court must be able to see the current situation clearly.

Little did he know that five years later, a violent storm would sweep across the country from Hankow, and then turn the dynasty upside down......

Zhao Chuanxin sent Zhao Erxun away, took out a wad of oceans and said to Liu Huaqiang: "Qiangzi, select smart and capable students, organize a student union, and go to choose a site for the college." As the first dean of Juan Wang Technical College, I appoint you as the president of the student union. This little money is public money for the student union to eat and drink, but don't be greedy! ”

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao." Liu Hua is strong and happy, who doesn't love power? He patted his chest and promised, and then hesitated: "But if you choose a foreigner's building in the concession, what if the foreigner doesn't want to sell it?" ”

The concession is under the name of Zhao Chuanxin, but the buildings in it do not mean that all the buildings are Zhao Chuanxin's.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to, you will kidnap them with morality, aren't you good at this?" ”

A group of students: "......"

Someone explained: "Mr. Zhao, with all due respect, foreigners are vulgar and do not take into account moral ......"

"Oh......" Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his voice: "Feelings and morals are all used to kidnap their own people?" ”

The student blushed.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "If they have no morality, you will use benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith to influence them, and then kidnap them after they have morality." Hadron, I'm sure you can do it. ”

Liu Huaqiang smiled bitterly: "I'll do my best." ”

"it." Zhao Chuanxin slapped him on the head: "You won't be able to give you a chance, say it again." ”

Liu Huaqiang hurriedly stood up: "Guaranteed completion!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin was satisfied, and walked towards the Russian concession with his hands behind his back.

In the Russian concession, Bolsho Banov waited for a long time.

Seeing him, he hurriedly trotted over: "Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Chuanxin nodded reservedly: "It turned out to be the old Petersburg Zhengsan-Banner noble bus duke." ”

Bolshaya Banov: "......"

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Zhao, the contract was signed in a hurry, and there are still details that need to be planned, such as issues such as the jurisdiction of the right of way at the junction of the concession......

Originally, the Russian Concession was a whole, but after being forcibly divided by Zhao Chuanxin, it was cut off by a good road.

This involves the electricity used for street lighting, the replacement of damaged street lights, the maintenance of the road surface and other road administration matters.

Don't look at the total plate of the concessions of various countries, it is not big, but it is the essence of Hankow.

It is far from being as easy to manage as Zhao Chuanxin imagined.

Big Banov was the first to find him, and the subsequent lease definitions of Britain, Japan, and France had similar management problems.

Zhao Chuanxin is really not good at this, but he can't show his timidity, he said: "Lao Tzu is up and down for a few dimes a minute, where is the kung fu to talk to you about this?" Wait, I'll send someone to communicate with you. ”

After speaking, he went back to the tube building.

Don't look at his sometimes tough and sometimes compromising methods at the negotiating table, he is comfortable with words, but in fact he is physically and mentally exhausted.

At that time, there was no fool present, each had their own interests, and Zhao Chuanxin racked his brains to give the optimal solution.

He locked the door, took out his chair, and as soon as he lay down, he glared at him......

……

The relationship between Zhang Renjun and Yuan Datou was still very iron at this time.

Four years later, they will be married as sons and daughters.

After the negotiation, he explained in detail to Yuan Datou the various entanglements of interests in the field, and then said: "This matter is not over yet. ”

Yuan Datou was stunned for a moment, and now he really doesn't dare to underestimate Zhao Chuanxin.

He asked curiously, "What else is going on?" ”

Zhang Renjun sighed: "Last year, I supervised Henan, there is a summer holy place Jigong Mountain, through the businessmen widely advertised publicity, from the 29th to the 31st year of Guangxu, there have been built Britain, the United States, France, Russia, Japan and other countries of Western-style houses as many as 27. Living in foreigners, there are about 60 or 70 men and women, and the number of men and women is expanding, and the progress is endless. Zhang Xiangshuai was furious when he heard this, and handed a piece of paper to the court, not only asking for the land to be recovered, but also punishing several people, and even I was implicated. At that time, a charter was formulated to reclaim the Jigong Mountain Land and negotiate a rented house for summer vacation, but the foreigners were arrogant and indulgent, and it was not easy to deal with, so they were not allowed to ......."

Zhang Xiangshuai, that is, Zhang Zhidong, has nothing to do with Chu Liuxiang, but it should be Chu Liuxiang's Xiangshuai name borrowed from Zhang Zhidong.

Yuan Datou suddenly heard about this matter: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Zhao Tangong was in the limelight for a while, and he just borrowed his east wind to burn this fire together......

Sure enough, the two took Qi Yaoshan and Jin Shihe to find the British consul Faleis.

Faleis listened to Zhang Renjun's intention and directly chose to give in. In the future, people will be sent to cooperate with the Qing court to measure the land of Jigong Mountain, and they will be signed and put into effect in the near future.

Yuan Datou sighed and said: "Zhao Chuanxin has become a general trend, and it will be like a Buddha in Hankou ......."

Qi Yaoshan and Jin Shihe were overjoyed, but they didn't expect things to be so easy, and they were secretly grateful to Zhao Chuanxin.

Especially Qi Yaoshan, who is the supervisor of the Han Customs of the Han Huang Dedao River, went to the Ba Gong Tube Building with a gift to visit and thank him that day, maybe there will be many opportunities to deal with him in the future.

A few days later, a river ship slowly sailed into Hankou.

On the river boat, a group of people came down.

The leader wears rare square-framed glasses, a cleanly shaved beard on his face, short hair on both sides, and a textured back head with fluffy hair on the top, and is dressed in an overcoat with a polite manner.

A little white old man in the back, with a skeletal shape and a strange hairstyle, followed in unison.

Further back, there are strong and powerful men as guards.

The man at the front is shaped like a water tank, long horizontally, and his shirt on a cold day has three buttons, and his muscles are knotted.

They disembarked first, and then dock workers hoisted ashore a windy Rolls-Royce......
