Once the Nanyang Navy is firmly controlled by the imperial court, Yuan Qi's situation is bound to be worrying, whether it is to make a wedding dress for the imperial court, and to take it by force, whether it is Yi Zhishu or the Wu family, I am afraid that it will not end well.
Wu Bingjian was worried about this, but unexpectedly, Yi Zhizhi didn't seem to care, and after a slight groan, he said: "Contentment, don't you worry that Yuan Qi will fall into the situation of being a knife and a fish and meat?" ”
Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "Although the Duke of Pinghu relaxes, even if the imperial court completely controls the navy, he will not, he will not dare to endanger Yuan Qi!" At present, what Yuan Qi needs is time, what he needs is the trust of the imperial court, and he must temporarily retreat and compromise with the imperial court.
Only if the imperial court can absolutely control the navy, the imperial court will let go of Yuanqi to develop with peace of mind, otherwise, if the imperial court blindly restricts, Yuanqi will inevitably be struggling, and it will take several times the time, and now, the most precious thing is time. ”
Hearing this, Wu Bingjian was a little skeptical, and said: "Contentment, talk about it in detail." ”
"Yuanqi is no longer a simple bank, but the largest cross-regional and cross-industry business group in the Qing Dynasty, which is not comparable to any other place and industry businessman." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Today's Yuanqi not only monopolizes the finance of Guangdong Province, but also absorbs large sums of money from the surrounding provinces of Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian and Yunnan and Guizhou.
In addition, Yuanqi in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, through the opening of branches in various prefectures and counties, the promotion of machine silk reeling factories, and the raising of funds for the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway, also absorbed a large amount of funds, although it is not a financial monopoly for the time being, but it is also in an absolute dominant position.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Yuan Qi sneezes, it will rain in the entire Qing Dynasty, and the imperial court can not withstand the toss now, whether it is today or the ministers of the central government, they will not easily move Yuan Qi, this is not as simple as pulling a hair and moving the whole body, if Yuan Qi has an accident, the entire southeast economy will collapse, and the imperial court cannot afford such a big price! It won't.
As for not daring, there are more than 100,000 employees under Yuanqi's name, counting those who depend on Yuanqi for a living, this number will quadruple, if Yuanqi has an accident, first of all, Guangdong will be in chaos! Furthermore, although Yuanqi's regimental training is included in the division of the imperial court's economic system, don't forget that most of the officers are Yuanqi's people, and they all have Yuanqi's body to a greater or lesser extent, and the rise and fall of Yuanqi is directly related to their vital interests.
In addition, Yuanqi has close commercial and trade exchanges with Western countries and cooperation in railway construction, joint factories and other large projects, and will successively use these projects as a reason to borrow large sums of money from England, France, the United States and other countries.
In the end, the imperial court now owes Yuanqi a debt of 30 million, if the imperial court dares to make a move on Yuanqi, not only will it be discredited and discredited, but it will also lose the support of the people, and Yuanqi's tens of thousands of shareholders and gentry and businessmen who buy treasury bonds and Beijing-Hangzhou railway stocks are all over the southeastern provinces. ”
Listening to these words, Wu Bingjian knew that he really underestimated Yuan Qi's strength, no wonder this kid was confident and fearless, this was calculated that the imperial court did not dare to act on Yuan Qi easily, it was rare that the other party could see it so thoroughly.
Thinking about it carefully, he felt even more shocked, judging from the confidence revealed in the other party's words, it is obvious that the group training body stock incentives, the issuance of treasury bonds, the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway, the raising of railway construction funds, and the large loans to the imperial court are all deliberate, this scheming is really not simple, he suddenly felt a little unable to see through this kid.
Looking at Yi Zhi, who was calm and calm in front of him, with a confident face, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, Yi Yunchang has been cautious all his life, lacking in development, and his courage and knowledge are mediocre, but he gave birth to such a son, but the Wu family has no successor, a Wu Shaorong, and a Wu Changqing, all of whom are difficult to follow.
In fact, Yi Zhishu still has something to hide, he is not afraid of the court turning his face at all, in addition to these on the surface, he can also use the power of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Qinglian Sect, but he knows that these two are not easy for him to control, and he is not willing to take this road unless he has to.
In addition, the imperial court wants to fully control the Nanyang Navy, it is also impossible, it is not his style to make wedding dresses for others, the naval battalion level set up instructors, in fact, it is the beginning of his secret preparation and cultivation of his own forces, the Nanyang Navy has not yet been formally established, he and the imperial court for the control of the navy has been launched, which is also destined to the future division of the navy, although this is not what he wants to see, but there is no way to helpless.
Wu Bingjian retracted his thoughts, and habitually tapped his fingers on the armrest for a while before he said: "The time mentioned by contentment is urgent, but does it mean that the chaos in the world is not far away?" ”
The reason why he asked this was because Yi Zhizu once asserted that there would be chaos in the world, Yi Zhicontent once asserted that the imperial court would impose a large-scale ban on smoking, and that war would break out in Qingying, all of which were fulfilled one by one.
Wu Shaorong personally came in with a tea tray at this time, he knew that the conversation between the old man and Yi Zhixiang was very confidential, and he didn't dare to fake his subordinates, so he poured the tea, Wu Bingjian stretched out his hand to ask for tea, and said: "The old man's thirty-year-old red robe is not much, and now it can only be tasted if he is content." ”
Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "That junior has to visit Pinghu Gong more in the past two years." As he spoke, he took the teacup and tasted it carefully, and after taking a cup of tea, he spoke: "The time that the younger generation said is precious, and there are two meanings, one is domestic and the other is international. As far as China is concerned, it is difficult to predict how long he can reign because he is old and his body is not very neat.
Now several princes are young, if the new emperor ascends the throne, after all, the young son of heaven is not as stable and old as today, whether he will continue to vigorously support and let Yuan Qi develop, it is still difficult to say, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier is not just talking, Yuan Qi must strive for time to develop as soon as possible, and accumulate enough strength to deal with the crisis that may be caused by the alternation of imperial power.
On the international front, following the basic completion of the industrial revolution in England, the United States, France, Austria, Russia, and other European countries have set off an upsurge of industrial development, and Yuanqi must gain time to develop basic industries and military industries in the southeastern and coastal provinces as soon as possible, otherwise there is a danger of being bullied by Western countries again. ”
After a pause, he continued: "As for the chaos in the world, it is indeed not far off, in recent years, the treasury has been empty, the imperial court has borrowed a lot of money, and it has to spend huge sums of money to invest in the construction of the navy, the financial aspect is stretched, and the government is also corrupt.
In addition, with the industrial development of the coastal provinces and the dumping of a large number of industrial products in Western countries, it will accelerate the destruction of the existing natural economic structure of the combination of self-sufficient small agriculture and cottage industry in China.
However, Pinghu Gong also rest assured that the younger generation will try his best to ensure that the southeastern coastal provinces will not be affected by the war, and will not let the war interrupt Yuanqi's industrial development. ”
The world is in chaos! Wu Shaorong understood when he ascended, why did the old man let him cross the ocean to Citigroup, it was expected that the world would be in chaos, but if Yuanqi had the ability to ensure that the southeastern coastal provinces were not affected, would he not need to go to Citigroup again? To be honest, he didn't want to go to Citigroup, he didn't know the place well, the language, customs, food, etc. were very different, and he was too unaccustomed to it.
Wu Bingjian said in a sullen voice: "Since chaos cannot be avoided, I hope that this chaos in the world can be caught up before the change of imperial power." ”
The meaning of these words is easy to understand naturally, if the world is in chaos before the change of imperial power, the imperial court will have no time to deal with Yuan Qi, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising seems to be in the last year of Daoguang's reign, however, the current historical process has changed, I don't know if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be affected, it stands to reason that it will be affected somewhat.
After a slight pause, Wu Bingjian continued: "Although Yuanqi is now very important, contentment cannot be taken lightly, the imperial court will never tolerate the existence of threatening the imperial power, especially at the time of the alternation of imperial power, the new and old generations of emperors will spare no effort to clean up all the existence that can threaten the imperial power." ”
Yi Zhishu hurriedly said solemnly: "The younger generation must keep it in mind. ”
Hearing this, Wu Shaorong's heart was cold, the old man was worried about the crisis caused by the alternation of imperial power, the chaos in the world, the alternation of imperial power, these two came together, with the old man's prudence, he would inevitably be ordered to go to Citigroup! Just as he was thinking, Wu Bingjian had already spoken: "This year, the fleet is going to Citi New York, and the old man wants Shao Rong to go with him to ......" ”
Let Wu Shaorong go to New York? Yi Zhizu was surprised, but he knew that Wu Bingjian was quite fond of this son, Wu Bingjian made this decision, was he optimistic about the trade with Citi or did he have the intention to let Wu Shaorong go to Citi to avoid trouble? He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately muttered: "This is the fleet's first voyage, although it is to follow Olifin's fleet, after all, there are still risks, or ...... Let Brother Ziyuan go again next year. ”
"What are the risks of the Nota fleet? He should also go through the experience. Wu Bingjian said: "Since you said that the past two years have been the beginning of Citigroup's economic recovery, it is better to do business sooner rather than later, and you must seize the opportunity to do business." ”
Yi Zhixiang laughed secretly in his heart, no wonder Wu Shaorong almost wanted to set up a banquet for him to wash the dust, it turned out that he learned that he was going to be sent to New York, he didn't have a good impression of Wu Shaorong, the original general merchant of the thirteen banks, but he didn't dislike it, since Wu Bingjian intended to temper and cultivate the head of the Wu family, he naturally didn't object, thinking that the original plan was to arrange for Wu Changqing to go to New York to be the shopkeeper of Yuanqi's New York branch, he said: "Since Brother Ziyuan is going to New York, you might as well be wronged and serve as the shopkeeper of Yuanqi's New York branch." ”
"He can't be a shopkeeper." Wu Bingjian said without thinking: "Yuanqi's New York branch is the first branch opened by Yuanqi overseas, and he can't be allowed to smash the signboard." ”
Wu Shaorong has no interest in the shopkeeper of the New York branch, if he really wants to be the shopkeeper, he will become a subordinate who is easy to be content, when even he echoed: "I am used to being casual, losing money is a small matter, smashing the Yuanqi signboard is a big matter, Brother Guocheng don't be embarrassed." ”
Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "In that case, let's have a good chat another day." ”
After several years of uninterrupted expansion and construction, today's Henan camp is not what it used to be, the barracks within a radius of several miles have been built around the fence, and trees have been planted, it is difficult to peek into the situation in the barracks from the outside, of course, the outside of the fence is a hundred meters are zoned as a military restricted area, and there are soldiers patrolling at any time, and it is impossible to approach the fence at all, let alone snoop.
The barracks are also full of greenery, all the barracks are hidden in the greenery, although the roads in the barracks are still dirt roads, they are wide and smooth, and the whole camp is square, and the layout is rigorous and symmetrical.
Yan Yangtian, who received the news, had already led people to wait outside the camp gate with horses, and when he saw Yi Zhifen, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Yi Zhizhi was attracted by the horses behind them, and looked at them carefully before saying, "It was sent by Jingshi?" ”
"Yes." Yan Yangtian said with a smile: "Henan Daying has got twenty good horses. As he spoke, he handed over the reins and said, "Now that the barracks are not small, the headmaster is still riding a horse." ”
Yi Zhishu nodded, turned over and got on the horse, the military camp has rules, you can't ride a horse at a gallop, he will not take the lead in violating, ride slowly all the way, the center of the camp is the brigade headquarters - a two-story wooden building, after arriving at the brigade headquarters, he retired from the officers, accompanied by Yan Yangtian, went straight to the second floor, and came to Yan Yangtian's office.
Yan Yangtian, who was waiting, offered tea, and Yi Zhizhi said: "How many troops are there in the Henan camp now?" ”
"Back to the principal, three regiments." Yan Yangtian said: "The second regiment was transferred to Dinghai, and then a part of the regiment training was transferred from Shunde, Zhongshan, Xinhui, and Sanshui counties, and a group of young people were recruited from nearby resettlement villages to form a regiment. ”
After a slight groan, Yi Zhizhi said: "Dismiss this regiment." ”
Dismiss? Yan Yangtian couldn't help but be silent, he didn't say a word for a long time, he couldn't understand, he had worked hard to train, why was he dismissed?
"Hiding soldiers in the people, have you heard of it?" Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said, "Now that the Yuanqi regimental training has been included in the division of the imperial court system, the two camps in Huadi, Henan will be closely monitored by local officials, and the governor will come to the military camp to inspect, so I can't help but let them in, right?" How to explain the extra troops? Not only will it continue to be included in the name of the navy, but it will also be suspicious of the imperial court.
The focus of training was shifted outside the barracks, and the regimental training set up by the silk reeling factories and cocoon cities in the nearby counties, and the factory protection teams of each factory carried out queue training, and if necessary in the future, as long as they underwent a brief live-fire training, they could quickly form a team.
