Hearing this, Yi Yunchang's joy suddenly came to naught, that is to say, Yi Zhixiang was still using coercion to obtain Wu Bingjian's support, he couldn't help but be a little worried, and was silent for a while before asking: "Will this matter leave hidden dangers?" Will it be bad for you? ”

"No, it won't." Yi Zhixiang said without hesitation: "Pinghu Gong has a long-term vision and will never embarrass the child, but if the child is not strict, it will be difficult to say." ”

Yi Yunchang thought about it for a while, and said with some doubts: "But Duke Pinghu obviously appreciates you ....... ”

"It's just a matter of grace and power." Yi Zhizu said softly: "With the wealth of the Wu family, with the old and spicy of Pinghu Gong, simple coercion is tantamount to seeking a dead end, so after coercion, you must do what you like, so that you can not only win the support of the Wu family, but also avoid causing trouble." ”

Yi Yunchang couldn't hear these words for a long time, as if he didn't know Yi Zhicontent, he looked at him in a daze, this is his own son who has been idle all day long, causing trouble everywhere, and has only turned eighteen years old? This mind and courage, even he sighed to himself, as well as this conversation, knowledge, and bearing, compared with before, it is like two people.

Yi Zhishu naturally knew that he was a little scared of this cheap old bean, smiled, and said: "The child has a stubborn temperament, does not like to restrict, has not liked to read serious books, prefers miscellaneous economics and the like, in order to prevent being punished, has been hiding from you, over the years, the child is willful and messing around, that is because there is a big tree to follow, no need for the child to worry, he is happy and free, the building he sees will fall, the child ...... How dare you not share your father's worries?

In fact, after the monopoly of the British East India Company was abolished, the child has been quite concerned about the Thirteen Lines, because he is often with Yan Shikuan, at the end of last year, the child has clearly known the situation of Xingtai Bank, and it is expected that the collapse of Xingtai Bank will affect the small business houses of the Thirteen Lines, so he has been thinking about how to solve the crisis of Futai Bank. ”

As he spoke, he spread out his hands, showed a wry smile, and said: "The child was forced to borrow money from Wu Bingjian this time, but after this experience, he also benefited a lot, and he let go of his words and actions a lot. ”

This explanation can be said to be reasonable, Yi Yunchang listened to both relief and guilt, relieved that his son has finally grown up, the governor, can share his worries, the guilt is that he has been too indulged since he was a child, his son is smart by nature, with excellent qualifications, if he studies hard, he will definitely be able to go to high school in one fell swoop and shine on the lintel.

Slowly retracted his thoughts, took a few sips of tea, and then he said: "Pinghu Gong is a strict person and has never been smiling, how did you do what he liked, so that he praised you so much?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Yi Zhicontent said with a smile: "It is easy to enter the thirteen lines, but it is difficult to get out of the thirteen lines, unless it is to go bankrupt or scatter all the family wealth, the Wu family has devoted themselves to the thirteen lines, and has earned a lot of wealth in just a few decades, and it is famous, it is almost impossible to quit the thirteen lines, and what Pinghu Gongchao thinks about is nothing more than how to protect the family wealth." ”

"Do you have a way to make the Wu family protect their wealth?" Yi Yunchang lost his voice and said: "There is a way that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, the Wu family is rich and rivals the country, and they are in the thirteen lines, how can the imperial court allow the Wu family to retreat?" ”

"Dad, don't ask, I can't talk about this for the time being." Yi Zhishu changed the topic and said, "The child has no money in hand, and I'm afraid that I have been socializing a lot ......recently." ”

"You go to the account office tomorrow." Yi Yunchang paused, and then said: "You said in the Wu family that you want to prepare a newspaper and build a righteous school, how much silver do you get?" Dad can't give you 100,000. ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "Dad, don't worry, the child knows the situation of Futai Xing, so let's pay two thousand first." ”

Hearing that he only needed two thousand, Yi Yunchang couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and said briskly: "I instructed the account office, you can withdraw it at any time." Saying that, he was a little puzzled and said, "Why do you want to start a newspaper and build a school?" How much money can you make from that? If you have the leisure and energy, you might as well come and help take care of Futaixing. ”

The reason why Yi Zhishu wants to set up a newspaper is not just to make money, what he cares about is the newspaper's strong ability to guide public opinion. When the war broke out, newspapers might be able to play a huge role, and as for Yixue, he planned to cultivate talents by running Yixue.

He couldn't explain these things, and he didn't want to explain them, so after taking a sip of tea, he said: "The newspaper and Yixue don't spend much energy or money, but they can establish a good relationship with the Wu family, the Pan family, and the Lu family. ”

After a pause, he continued: "As for Fu Tai Xing, the child will take time to familiarize himself. ”

The two of them nested in the mansion and chatted, but they didn't know that the focus of the discussion outside had shifted from Fu Tai Xing to Yi Zhicontent.

Compared with Xingtai Bank being sued by foreign businessmen for high business debts, Futai Bank suddenly received the full help of Jardine Matheson Bank is more eye-catching, and the large and small merchants of the Thirteen Banks and the merchants who have business dealings with the Thirteen Banks and the businessmen outside the Bank are both curious and envious about this matter, and they want to find out the original reason, and all kinds of discussions and speculations are endless.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, under the attention and inquiry of many people, Yi Yunchang took his three children Yi Zhixin to Wu's garden early in the morning The matter was quickly excavated, and after hearing this situation, many people realized that the key to Fu Tai Xing's great help from Jardine should be on Yi Zhicontent.

The three young men of the Yi family, who had never been paid attention to, immediately became the object of everyone's attention, and they inquired about various situations about Yi Zhi's contentment through various channels.

In the whirlpool, Xingtai Bank, which is about to go bankrupt, is particularly concerned about this matter, and hearing that Yi Zhi's contentment may be the key to this matter, Yan Qichang immediately sent someone to call the fifth son Yan Shikuan, and there was a faint glimmer of hope in his heart.

Yan Shikuan, who was fat, with a big nose and small eyes, walked in with a nervous mood, and said with a somewhat restrained expression: "Father, ......." ”

Yan Qichang looked at him and said: "It is rumored that Jardine Bank gave Futai Bank a loan guarantee because of Yi Zhi's contentment, you have an excellent relationship with him, think about it, is it possible?" ”

"What does it have to do with Le Zai?" Yan Shikuan was a little surprised and said: "Le Zai got drunk and fell into the water ...... night before." ”

"Early this morning, your Uncle Yi Shi took Le Zai to Wu's house, and then there was news that Jardine Bank had given a loan guarantee to Futai Bank." Yan Qichang said slowly: "There will be no fake in this matter, think about it, could it be that Le Zai has some trick to hold the children of the Wu family?" ”

Will Le Tsai be okay so soon? Among the damn old man, the harmful Lao Tzubai was worried for a night, Yan Shikuan secretly scolded himself, and then shook his head and said: "Impossible, if there is such a thing, it is impossible for Le Zai to hide it from the child." ”

After pondering for a long time, Yan Qichang said: "Even if Le Zai has nothing to do with this matter, you should know some of the reasons, you can go to Yi's house now and inquire with Le Zai." ”
