Chapter 808: Zhao Chuanxin's incompetence caused the people's resentment to boil
That's not a side effect of the Vitality Spring, it's just a flow of particles running through the body.
Zhao Chuanxin can control and absorb most of it, and there are still a few residues at work.
His operation had been completed, leaving Bayar's face pale and his eyes hollow, and he didn't know if he was trying to resist the pain, or if he was already dead.
So Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand to test his snort: "Lao Deng shouldn't go, right?" β
As soon as his hand reached over, Bayar's forehead smashed it in one breath: "Drink...... I'm not dead yet. β
It turned out that Zhao Chuanxin didn't deceive people, he really almost killed him.
Fortunately, it feels like it comes and goes quickly.
"Huh." Zhao Chuanxin stopped embarrassedly: "How do you feel?" β
"I feel like I'm going to die first." Bayar's forehead stood up, feeling much lighter: "It seems that the sun god has not taken my soul yet. β
The more he moved, the more comfortable he felt.
The Vitality Spring Water had no analgesic effect, and the rheumatism still hurt, but it made him feel energetic and a few years younger.
"It's okay, the school is almost capped, and I left a bedroom for you, and then move over to live, I'm afraid that people can freeze to death in winter."
β¦β¦
Cixi's health is getting worse, but she can still handle the government and politics, and she still has some energy, so people can't tell that she is going to die this year.
At the same time, Guangxu's sick seedling was not in good health.
Cixi asked Chinese medicine and Western medicine to consult Guangxu separately, and finally came to a unified conclusion - kidney disease.
But the doctors all said it was fine.
At this time, some people are proud, and some people are terrified.
This person is Yuan Xiangcheng.
A few days ago, Jiang Chunlin, the imperial historian of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, impeached Yuan Xiangcheng, saying that when he celebrated his 50th birthday last month, he formed a gang and formed a faction for personal gain, and he had bad intentions and was a threat to the imperial court.
Cixi and Guangxu didn't think much when they heard it.
But Yuan Xiangcheng sensed that something was wrong.
Jiang Chunlin is a mad dog, Prince Qing, Yuan Xiangcheng, Xu Shichang and Sun Baoqi have all been impeached by him.
But lately, Yuan Xiangcheng has been impeached too often.
In the court, even a small and unusual thing is a sign.
In addition, Cixi and Guangxu are not in good health, Yuan Xiangcheng feels that it is possible that Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng has begun to target him.
He had always been friendly with the great powers, especially with the British and American ministers.
Don't look at them as foreigners, but sometimes they stand up and say something, but the strength is very strong, and they can even influence the policies of the court.
However, one of them, the British Minister Plenipotentiary to China, Zhu Erdian, was killed in the capital under the watchful eyes of Zhao Chuanxin and the heavy protection of the guards.
People are dead, and past friendships are useless.
The housekeeper and confidant Yuan Naikuan said to Yuan Xiangcheng: "You must prepare early, and you can't sit still." β
Yuan Xiangcheng sat on the chair in a daze: "How to prepare?" There was something wrong and fled to the apartment in the Tianjin Wei Concession? β
"Actually, there's a way out."
Yuan Xiangcheng's eyes moved a little, and he turned his head to look at Yuan Naikuan: "What is the way out?" β
"Kamihama Mansion."
"......" Yuan Xiangcheng smiled dumbly: "That will lose people's hearts." β
offended the princes of the court and the central government, and also offended the foreigners.
He wouldn't be so stupid.
But after thinking about it, I blanched, if things reach the point of no return, to the point where he must die, in addition to fleeing abroad, it seems that there is only one way left to seek asylum in Zhao Chuanxin.
Because he tried to reconcile with the Shaozhuang faction of the Manchu aristocracy several times, but the other party did not give up.
He waved his hand: "I heard that Zhao Tangong and the Russians have become mortal enemies, and they are unpopular in the local area, and they have a bad relationship with Song Xiaolian, who is a soldier of the Dao, and it seems that they have offended Zhou Shumo, the governor of Hei-Longjiang." He made enemies on all sides, and I was afraid that it would not be long before he left. As for me, take it one step at a time. β
If Zhao Chuanxin knew that he had worked hard to run the Yubin Mansion and spread it like this outside, he wouldn't know how to feel.
Cixi heard something similar.
Recently, she asked Zhengduo to get close to several old ministers in the DPRK and China, such as Zhang Zhidong, Wenhuadian University scholar Shixu, and military aircraft minister Lu Chuanlin.
Cixi asked, "Do you know what happened to Zhao Chuan's salary?" β
Shi continued to say: "According to Zhou Shumo and Xu Shichang's report, Zhao Chuanxin hated the Russians, and Song Xiaolian did not wait to see him. This person acted perversely, hindering the livelihood of the local people, wantonly disrupting order, and causing public resentment to boil. I heard that he actually ...... It's hard to imagine that being a parent official is so bad. β
Lu Chuanlin said: "Zhou Shumo said that Zhao Chuanxin did not understand government affairs, and used the official goods bureau to issue tax stamps and waybills, and let the patrol police bureau be responsible for the collection and management. Since he took office, he has completely banned the trade of wood and stone between the common people and the Russians, and increased the tariffs on tobacco and alcohol imposed on foreigners......
In the past, the wood and stone taxes and fees were managed by the wood and stone company, but later the Qing court changed it to the agency of the General Administration of Negotiations, which also had the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Wood and Stone Taxes and Fees, and the local branches, which had special personnel to manage tax and inspection matters.
Obviously sent Zhang Shouzeng to set up a negotiation bureau, but Zhao Chuanxin found another way and handed over this power to the official goods bureau.
The inspection was handed over to the patrol police.
Shi Xu was disdainful, and added: "I heard that his accounting office is headed by a foreigner woman, and the dispatch of the official goods bureau mostly uses the local cattle recruitment and pen style to collect the reminder and pen post, those people only know the rough writing and ink, you can imagine how chaotic the government affairs are!" β
Lu Chuanlin added fuel and vinegar: "The Qiqi-Har Negotiation Bureau said that Zhao Chuanxin prevented the local people's livelihood, did not allow fishing, logging, salt mining, and mining, and closed all the official offices. This is a personal submission by the local negotiation sub-bureau and will not be falsified. β
Shi continued to make up the knife: "The most odious thing is that Zhao Chuanxin forcibly took away the tax power by force, but the tax was not paid, and the public expenses of the military preparation road could only be delegated with his consent. The government has built a lot of buildings, and the reclamation is not pledged with wasted silver, and the money spent is like flowing water, and it is already beyond its means. He also massacres and persecuted Russian people, and the Russian consul in Hailar, Wu Sadi, has repeatedly reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lodge protests. β
In the spit of the two of them, you and I said a word, Zhao Chuanxin was ruined.
Cixi's heart blossomed with joy, but her face showed a compassionate look: "Hey, for the sake of the stability of the situation, the local people have suffered." β
Only Zhang Zhidong on the side was silent.
Cixi glanced at him and asked, "Does Xiaoda have something to say?" β
Zhang Zhidong hesitated for a moment and said, "If Zhao Chuanxin is not through government affairs, I think there is." But he knows how to employ people, and there are a lot of capable people under him, Li Ziyu of Ao Island, whose name is unknown, was originally just a small agent of the British Police Station on Hong Kong Island, but he managed Ao Island in an orderly manner. He also had a man named Li Guangzong, who was also an industrialist in both Hong Kong Island and the Hankou Concession, and knew how to run schools...... Engine. I don't think he's so unbearable, maybe there's something else going on? β
Because Cixi cared about it and always discussed with him about the disposal of Zhao Chuanxin, Zhang Zhidong collected information from all parties and learned more about Zhao Chuanxin. So even the car engine, he remembers.
The more I look at this information, the more frightening I become.
Zhao Chuanxin's actions seem reckless, but there is a secret hidden in it. For example, Ao Island, the location is very different and special, because it is related to Portugal, it was occupied by Zhao Chuanxin, and the Qing court did not dare to ask for it; Looking at Hong Kong Island again, it is still the territory of the British, and Zhao Chuanxin has simply created a country within a country; After that, Han-Kow, Zhao Chuanxin did not expand elsewhere, but chose the concession; In the Majima area, the backwater army that fights with the Japanese every day and the resistance forces in South Korea are inextricably linked to Zhao Chuanxin.
Zhao Chuanxin's forces all occupy the territory of the invaders, occupy the righteousness, the people are happy to see it, vigorously support, and the surrounding officials are also good friends, Xu Shichang is the best example, I heard that he and Zhao Chuanxin have a very good personal relationship, and the previous Liangguang Governor Zhang Renjun seems to have a good relationship with Zhao Chuanxin, just because Zhao Chuanxin and they have the same enemy.
originally thought that the disaster would lead to the east, but looking at what Zhao Chuanxin has done in the past few years, Zhang Zhidong felt that it was a little inappropriate to place Zhao Chuanxin on the Russian-Mongolian border.
Tsarist Russia was very fucked up and deployed its troops along the entire railway line north of Guanwai, and the Qing court was helpless. And Zhao Chuanxin forcibly cut off a piece of their meat, wouldn't it be the next Hong Kong Island Xuantianzong, Ao Island, Han-Kou Concession and Jian Island?
The only difference is that Zhao Chuanxin did not get the support of local officials this time, which is more difficult.
This time, Zhao Chuanxin does not seem to have talents such as Li Ziyu and Li Guangzong.
But is Zhao Chuanxin really unavailable?
Cixi didn't like to hear Zhang Zhidong's words.
You see how good Lu Chuanlin and Shixu said, they have to go against the grain.
I haven't heard of any car engines, it's just a trail.
So she immediately lost interest and waved her hand: "That's all for today, let's disperse......"
β¦β¦
Zhang Shouzeng is capable, although he is still a little awkward in his heart, but in fact, he has gradually been moved by Yao Jia and Zhao Chuanxin, and no longer helps the Qing court to hinder him, but he is still a little kind and naΓ―ve.
The chief of the five wings assisted in the management of each banner and obeyed Zhao Chuanxin unconditionally.
Rebecca Levy, a woman who used to sell sandwiches in New York, now only knows how to do things with her head down, stubbornness, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and there is no room for flaws and sloppiness in her work, and her accounting and tax work must always be meticulous to the "millimeter", and there is no room for omissions in the file.
Yao Jia, who wore a pair of pants with Zhao Chuanxin, was equally ambitious, and even accelerated the speed of Zhao Chuanxin's "raiding" Hailar and the surrounding grasslands.
Hu Da and Hu Er, both of whom were once leaders in the army, are now conscientious, cautious and hardworking.
Even if it is Yang Sang Daxi, in addition to being too aware of money in his eyes, he is very clever and does things properly, and he can understand the things that Zhao Chuanxin explained, and he can understand that he is doing it in an orderly manner after saying it.
Yang Sang'a, who may not recognize the words, is about to hone into a "pentathlon" civil servant at this time.
The rest of the leaders are urging and writing in the style, and the ability is lacking, but they can't stand up to a good leader, practice makes perfect according to the rules, and he has no time to think about it if his busy feet don't touch the ground every day.
It is said that Zhao Chuanxin can't rub sand in his eyes, but that is all about treating the enemy. In fact, he is very tolerant of his own people, and all kinds of people can realize their potential under him.
As a result, there is gradually a trend of throwing off the shopkeeper, and most of the weekdays are just coming up with ideas to help use their abilities to "slip through the cracks" in various things, and stamp a stamp on major events.
Help here and deal with it there, it seems inconspicuous, but in fact, it has accelerated the pace of development of Yubin Mansion.
"These glasses are very expensive, they are the masterpieces of the prefect's masterpiece, and they must not be broken or broken." Yang Sang'a directs the craftsmen to work.
At this time, flat glass has been produced in China, and the glass produced in the north is mainly centered on Bo-Shanyan-Shenzhen in Shandong.
It's not easy to transport, so it's expensive.
In addition, it has to be imported from foreigners.
If Zhao Chuanxin does not provide glass, he needs to go to Tsarist Russia to buy it.
Zhao Chuanxin considers the people's livelihood, but the meat can only rot in the pot. It is not possible to achieve a positive trade balance, but the balance must be reduced.
He provided the glass.
There are no large floor-to-ceiling windows here, because the climate is too cold to keep warm, and secondly, the opening and closing windows are inconvenient and the ventilation is not smooth.
It is necessary to cut the glass inlaid lattice windows.
The speed at which many people build bungalows is fast, and several main buildings of the government office have been built, so they need to put up the house frames and make doors and windows.
Zhao Chuanxin is building a house frame with the workers.
The frame of the house was about to be upside down, and Zhao Chuanxin stood on the wall on one side, and the commander said, "You go to the other end and lift it up first." β
Wait for the corner of the triangle on the other side to be lifted and erected, and then a few people move the room frame to this side and put the rope on.
Zhao Chuanxin shouted: "Get up!" β
Then he lifted the rope lightly, and then leaned over to lift one side, and the person on the other side exerted force, and the person below supported the top of the triangle with a wooden pole, and straightened the frame into a positive triangle.
The man standing on the two beams in the center hurriedly removed the nail in his mouth and fixed it with a clay stick.
Zhao Chuanxin has a lot of strength, a top servant, not only responsible for supporting the shelf, but also helping to nail the tiles, nails and hammers are just out of his hand, and no one knows where he is hiding.
Craftsmen in other places looked curiously while working, haven't you seen the prefect who made great efforts to build houses?
Zhao Chuanxin has been helping to put all the room frames on well, and then he jumped and landed as light as a swallow.
There was a round of applause.
The prefect is really awesome!
He can fight on a horse, govern the people when he gets off a horse, can go up to the house frame, can raise a tall building on the ground, and often sees him cooking on the stove outdoors, occasionally gathering a group of children to teach them to read, and making them ice and hoops to push and run.
Before it was completely frozen, the children were on the smooth rocky floor of the platform on the side of the church, whipping the ice with small leather whips, pushing the hoops on the dirt road trampled by the construction site, and the squeaks of metal were everywhere.
The prefect is simply omnipotent and omniscient.
He didn't look like a big official at all, but the people and public officials treated him with respect.
Zhang Shouzeng looked at Zhao Chuanxin, who was smiling and mingling with the workers, and felt a little trance.
It's unimaginable that the prefect can do this in just a few months.
No child dared to laugh at Yao Bing's half ear, because their toys were all made by Yao Bing's master.
Yao Bing's strength is greater and longer than other children of the same age, because he has to practice balancing every day.
Children have soft bones and light bodies, which are actually easier to practice than adults.
He ran like a fly with an iron ring, and he could talk to others: "Master I said, make a plow for me in winter." β
"Yao Bing, please ask the prefect, make us a climbing plow."
The iron ring and the ice gag are done, and the climbing plow is not bad.
"Yes, yes, I want to climb the plow, too."
"What is a climbing plow?"
Yao Bing dug the iron hook downward, and the iron ring jumped up, and after it fell, he could still push it steadily.
He said proudly: "Let's talk about it, my master said, as long as I don't talk about going back to see my grandfather and my grandmother, he will do whatever I want." β
The envious eyes of a group of children were red.
"I can also ignore my grandmother, can the prefect make me a climbing plow?"
"Me too."
"I can't ......"
These children roared in front of Zhang Shouzeng.
Zhang Shouzeng knew that Huang Shifu, who was preparing for the army, was making small moves behind his back, and tried his best to slander him, saying that Zhao Chuanxin was perverse and did not do personnel, causing public resentment to boil.
He also knew what was going on with the letter from the Qiqi-Har Negotiation Bureau some time ago.
But he didn't say it.
His mind is a little confused now, and he can't figure out where he stands.
However, this is called boiling public resentment at the moment?
Is this called the people's livelihood?
The herdsmen have sufficient pasture, the workers have a livelihood, the morale of the army is high, and the public officials of the province are loyal to their duties and work hard.
Zhang Shouzeng shook his head.
He went to find Zhao Chuanxin, who was washing his face.
After Zhao Chuanxin wiped his face, the water stains dried, and he looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Zhang Shouzeng swallowed: "That, there are negotiation bureaus and the General Administration of Wood and Stone Taxes and Fees elsewhere, that is, the old branch office. Although it is now an accounting firm, I heard that the tariff on Russia will be set up, and there is a shortage of manpower. I know that the prefect is reluctant to let Tsarist Russia take advantage of resources such as wood and stone, but the processed products are different, wood can be made into furniture, and it can still be exported. In addition, the import of tobacco and liquor, and the transportation of bulk goods from south to north through the railway, the businessmen were unable to bargain with the China Eastern Railway Bureau. β
Zhao Chuanxin wiped his hair with water again, so as to straighten out the raunchy chicken nest head that he hadn't cut for a long time, so he acted as a question: "Your ass is always crooked, it really makes me dare not trust you." β
The embarrassment of others is tactful, but Zhao Chuanxin's embarrassed expression is matched with ruthless words, and the sense of disobedience is full.
"......" Zhang Shouzeng is about to grow maggots, and the people under him have nothing to do, so they can't listen to the people in the Tsarist Russian consulate complaining and protesting every day, right? He smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Prefect, maybe I don't agree with some of your actions, but you should believe in my determination to do things and do things well." β
"It's up to you to do it yourself, I didn't force you, right?" Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette and asked him with a grin.
"Yes." Whenever Zhao Chuanxin showed this expression, he gave Zhang Shouzeng a feeling that he was going to be cheated, but he could only answer hard.
"That's good, the ugly words are ahead, and it's okay to make you responsible, but if you disobey the yin and yang, or even eat inside and out, and follow the people who are against me to secretly make a tune, then I won't spare you."
Yao Jia and Rebecca Levi are indeed understaffed, and Zhang Shouzeng and the people in his department are indeed idle.
The things that Zhang Shouzeng said were actually very important, and Zhao Chuanxin felt that this old boy was proficient in Russian and familiar with all kinds of government affairs, so it was a pity that he didn't need to.
Zhang Shouzeng was stunned, and suddenly lowered his head and said, "I can do it." In addition, I know what happened to the call from the Qiqi-Khar Negotiation Branch some time ago. β
It can be big or small.
Zhao Chuanxin thought it was related to Zhu Laoba before, but later found out that it was not.
It's not a big deal, but in the small universe, there are always a few flies that want to hit the wall and not bite people.
He asked, "What's going on?" β
Zhang Shouzeng said: "It was Huang Shifu of the Reclamation Bureau, and the negotiation branch he contacted made up two names to call. He also slandered the prefect, saying that the prefect was ignorant and incompetent, and did not understand government affairs, which made the people in Hailar area miserable......"
Zhao Chuanxin: "......"
