He is the dignified prefect of Shanghai.

If it weren't for Pei Dazhong's pressure, it would not be difficult to get to Shanghai Daotai according to his current connections.

But this guy who cleaned up Han Huaiyi in the Yangzhou era is already fifty years old this year, and he actually rolled up his sleeves like a green skin in the market to beat the Qing court Anchashi.

No one believed it, but it happened.

Zhang Jian was also startled by Chen Dayou, and he hurriedly said: "What happened to Chen Futai?" ”

"Brother Ji, I respect you, and Boss Han has already explained to New Rome, saying that Zhang Jian will help him if he has something, because he said that you are a good man who does business to revitalize the nation. But I can't give you face today. ”

After Chen Dayou finished speaking, he jumped over Zhang Jian's shoulder, which was enough for Zheng Xiaoxu.

Zhang Jian froze there, and then asked, "Han Huaiyi, did Boss Han really say that to you?" ”

"How can it be fake! Xiang Shuai asked him to cooperate with you, but he didn't participate because he felt that there was chaos everywhere in the country, and he had to spend eight points of his energy on internal friction, and he was easy to be controlled by others after investment, so he refused to roll in the quagmire. But he admires you, he said that everyone in this world has a different division of labor, and it is not easy for him to take the route of science and technology, and it is not easy for anyone to take the route of people's livelihood. ”

Chen Dayou had already grabbed Zheng Xiaoxu's beard when he recounted Han Huaiyi's occasional words, and then this guy shouted: "What the hell are you going to go with this mansion to see what you have done." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

In order to control Shanghai, this brute actually said hello and cut off the way for Yunyan to enter Shanghai, and asked Yunnan to desperately suppress the faction close to Shanghai. Let me ask you, Brother Ji, we all know that it is right to ban smoking, in fact, Shanghai does not rely on these tobacco money to eat, but do you have to have a buffer when you do this kind of thing? ”

"That opium addiction is something you can cut off?"

"The forces in Shanghai are complicated, and some foreigners who are Chinese unwilling to do it will secretly instigate it, Lord Lin Zexu was so tough in Humen back then, why did it end in the end?"

Chen Dayou said in one breath and continued: "This guy is now playing this kind of trick and messing up the deployment in Shanghai, and now the British are privately raising the price of opium, not to mention, the French Concession has bombarded all the smokers in the Chinese Territory, and now the seven or eight thousand smokers in the Chinese Territory have attacked, just as the streets are rolling and splashing, and some goods are even set on fire!" This is finally on my head, who am I not looking for him to play with? ”

It had been nearly half a century since the infamous East India Company was dissolved.

However, the British still maintained the opium trade with China privately, although the scale was not as large as before, and it was very secretive, but it was real.

There was collusion between the domestic opium dealers and many of them.

Now that Shanghai has banned smoking and cut off supply, foreign businessmen have taken the opportunity to raise prices to fan the flames and try to make a profit.

This makes the situation even more complicated.

Du Yuesheng simply launched in advance, so that these smokers made a fuss in Zhabei, which is why Chen Dayou was anxious.

After hearing the reason, Zhang Jian first tried to persuade Chen Dayou, and then also said to Zheng Xiaoxu: "What are you doing here, you can suppress Hanmen?" After this incident broke out, they went to the opposite side of the pre-Constituent Guild, I see how you end. ”

Zheng Xiaoxu tried to calm down, and said: "The ban on smoking is the court's compliance... Opium has brought disaster to the country and the people... ”

"You're special." Chen Dayou directly smashed a teacup into his face: "Don't tell me these high-sounding truths here, who doesn't know these!" How things are solved! ”

Zheng Xiaoxu jumped hotly, his eyes were in his eyes, and he said, "Chen Futai, do you still have some physique." ”

"Physique Nima!" Chen Dayou doesn't want any face today.

He roared angrily: "The people in Zhabei are in turmoil, the magistrates should be held accountable by the imperial court, and Lao Tzu's officials will be lost, and I am still used to you!" Let me tell you, if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, I will immediately send someone to escort you to the scene, so that those smokers will find trouble for you, and everyone will die together. ”

"Brother Ji!" Zheng Xiaoxu panicked and went to find reinforcements.

Zhang Jian understood Chen Dayou's routine.

He sat there and thought to himself, Shanghai is going to force Zheng Xiaoxu to slap himself in the face, how can he greet him along the way, how to let him go along the way now.

In Shanghai, this is to treat it as a chicken and make an example of the chicken.

This is also for others to see, it seems that Hanmen does adhere to Han Huaiyi's proposition, and resolutely does not specifically participate in any domestic government affairs.

first Zhen Guogong, then robbed Xiangshuai, and now wants to get Zheng Xiaoxu.

People's bottom lines have been drawn, and it would be unwise for me to participate again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jian sighed from Zheng Xiaoxu: "Hurry up and solve it!" You are in a mess, but others will bear the consequences. Whether it's according to the rules of the court or our private reasoning, I won't take you to do this. Shanghai's smoking ban is your business! I really can't help you with this. ”

As soon as Zhang Jian's attitude of staying out of the matter was taken out, Zheng Xiaoxu was completely desperate.

Chen Dayou looked at him coldly: "I'll give you half a day, when the time comes, don't blame Shanghai for being ruthless!" I'm afraid that without you, the preparation of the Constituent Guild will be smoother. ”

Just then, a young man knocked on the door.

Du Yuesheng said to Zhang Jian after arching his hand at Chen Dayou: "Du Yuesheng, a grass person, has seen Master Zhang!" ”

"You are Du Yuesheng, a disciple of the Han family?" Zhang Jian asked.

Du Yuesheng said: "I'm ashamed, the younger generation is not enough for Boss Han in case." ”

"Looking at your temperament, how can you imagine that you were born in the market, I really don't know what kind of character Lingshi is, the funny thing is that I have a deep relationship with him Yu Xiangshuai, and they are both between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but I haven't seen it!"

"Boss Han once explained to us, but if Lord Zhang is in need, Shanghai will help you! You are so good friends with Boss Han, there is not much difference between seeing or not seeing. ”

"The child can talk, haha, what's going on?"

Du Yuesheng said: "The younger generation is here to ask Mr. Zheng Xiaoxu to look at the account book. ”

After speaking, he took out a stack of lists from his pocket, and Chen Dayou was surprised to see that the general ledger on it was a list of opium with 100,000 silver dollars.

Zheng Xiaoxu was also puzzled.

Du Yuesheng said coldly: "Isn't Lord Zheng going to participate in the ban on smoking in Shanghai, and now Sanxin Company has to buy tobacco from British merchants who smuggle opium at a price three times higher than the original price in order to stabilize the mood of smokers in Shanghai." ”

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, Lord Zheng can order the arrest of people! By the way, those smokers did it too. If you don't have enough manpower, you only need to write a note, and you will definitely make Zhabei bleed like a river after a while, and let tens of thousands of families in Shanghai wear filial piety! ”

Zhang Jian, who was watching the incident, gasped after hearing this.
