Chapter 250 - Smoking Ban in Guangzhou (14)

Huang Dianyuan drank spirits, Yi Zhicontent, Yao Qichang drank Baihua wine, the three of them drank, in a blink of an eye, it was a few glasses of wine down, with the lesson of getting drunk last time, Yi Zhishu did not drink because of the low degree of Baihua wine, he knew that this wine had stamina, once drunk, it was more uncomfortable than spirits.

The wine glass was filled again, and Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Brother Rong has an unparalleled amount of wine, even if you drink this Baihua wine, it is difficult to accompany you, it is still early, we might as well pour it slowly." ”

Huang Dianyuan didn't mean to pour him again, he knew very well that for characters like Yi Zhicontent, everything could not be repeated, so he immediately put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "This amount of wine is also common in the northern country, not to mention unparalleled, but the ability to make money is really unparalleled in the world." ”

Yao Qichang said with emotion: "In less than three years, Yuanqi has developed to the point where it is enough to make the officials and gentlemen of Guangdong Province look up to it, and contentment is really a rare talent. ”

"I'll excuse you." Huang Dianyuan continued: "Yuan Qi is so large-scale, if you are content, you don't have to worry about the local government's jealousy? ”

"Jealous?" Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Yuan Qi now pays hundreds of thousands of taels of taxes to the Guangdong government a year, and in another year, it can exceed one million, and in the past two years, it has been as high as two million just by donating, and those officials can wake up with a smile in their dreams now."

Even if some officials are clear-minded, they will not break it rashly, Yuan Qi is now like a hen that can lay eggs, who is willing to kill chickens to take eggs? What's more, the imperial court also has the help of Yuanqi. ”

Yuan Qi is so rich? Huang Dianyuan and Yao Qichang were both stunned, and after a while, Huang Dianyuan said: "The imperial court also wants to borrow Yuanqi?" ”

Yi Zhishu nodded. Not without smugness: "Build a railway." Issuance of government bonds. The imperial court has to borrow Yuanqi, otherwise the local government will not dare to let Yuanqi be so laissez-faire. ”

Issuance of government bonds? Huang Dianyuan glanced at Yao Qichang, Yuan Qi wanted to repair the railway from Guangzhou to Foshan, this matter had already been rumored, Su Mengdie had already told the two of them, but the issuance of treasury bonds was the first time I heard of it, Yao Qichang hurriedly said: "What is the matter with the construction of railways and the issuance of treasury bonds." Can you elaborate on contentment? ”

Yi Zhizhi took a sip of wine, and briefly introduced the railways and national debts of Europe, Huang Dianyuan and the two listened for a long time without saying a word, these two things are too good for the imperial court, drinking a glass of stuffy wine, Huang Dianyuan said in a light tone: "Contentment is so dedicated to the sake of the court, presumably the imperial court has given a lot of rewards to contentment." ”

"I rewarded a four-grade top."

"Donating millions, and trying your best to make suggestions, you will be rewarded with a false title of four grades?" Yao Qichang smiled: "With the shrewdness of contentment. How could they trade at such a loss? ”

"If it's just a fourth-grade false title, it's naturally a loss." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "But." There is a saying, have you heard of Shopkeeper Yao? After a slight pause, he said slowly: "It's hard to buy an inch of time." ”

What do you mean? Yao Qichang was a little puzzled, but Huang Dianyuan was in good spirits, and said with a hearty smile: "Be content with talent!" Very human. As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "Just rush this deal, and be content with three cups." As he spoke, he drank three glasses in a row.

Yi Zhizu drank half a cup with him, and Yao Qichang also drank a cup in a daze, before saying, "What kind of business is it?" ”

"Buying time, of course." Huang Dianyuan glanced at Yi Zhizhi and said, "Buy the time it takes for Yuanqi to grow and develop!" ”

As soon as these words were clarified, it seemed to pierce a layer of paper, and the table was suddenly quiet, why did Yuan Qi want to fight for time to develop and grow? What about after the growth? This is a self-evident expression, Huang Dianyuan was excited, and poured himself another drink, his mind became clearer and clearer.

Yi Zhishu rarely talked about Yuan Qi in front of Su Mengdie, why did he talk eloquently in front of the two of them, and also broke Yuan Qi to gain time, which was tantamount to hinting at Yuan Qi's purpose - the purpose of committing a taboo in the imperial court, even in front of relatives and friends, would not be so hinted, let alone in front of the two of them?

There is only one answer, Yi Zhicontent already knows the identities of the two of them! Don't worry about leaks!

Since Yi Zhizu knows their identities, it is enough to show that Yi Zhizu is a member of the Qinglian Sect, otherwise, it would be impossible for Jin Ying to reveal the identities of the two to him, he was sensitive, he smoothed out his thoughts in a short time, poured a glass of wine, he raised his glass and saluted: "Red flowers and green leaves and white lotus roots, the three sects are originally one family." ”

Although Yi Zhicontent is said to be the top sail of the Qinglian Sect, he does not have a little experience in the rivers and lakes, where do he know the incision of these Jianghu sects, however, this is straightforward enough, the so-called White Lotus Root should refer to the White Lotus Sect, the Qinglian Sect is derived from the White Lotus Sect, and the red flower is naturally the Red Flower Society-Heaven and Earth Society, he still knows this, as for the green leaves, it should be the Green Gang, obviously, the other party already knows the identity of his Qinglian Sect, which is to use the Jianghu incision to get close to him to show closeness.

The incision of the rivers and lakes, Yi Zhizhi will not be content, and he doesn't know how to answer at once, the other party's thoughtfulness and quick reaction are beyond his expectations, and he didn't plan to admit the identity of the Qinglian Sect before he came, and now in this situation, it is not appropriate to admit it, not to admit it, and it is not appropriate.

After a little hesitation, he picked up the wine glass and politely replied, then put down the wine glass, took out a cigar, lit a match, took a slow sip, and said: "The White Lotus Sect is a full-time rebellion, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, no dynasty or no rebellion, the Red Flower Society also wants to follow in the footsteps of the White Lotus?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Dianyuan and Yao Qichang were secretly surprised, knowing that the Blue Lotus Sect came from the White Lotus Sect, how could the disciples of the Blue Lotus Sect say this about the White Lotus Sect? Isn't the other party a disciple of the Qinglian Sect? Impossible, if it weren't for the disciples of the Qinglian Sect, how could Jin Ying reveal the identity of their Three Points Society to him?

After drying the wine in one gulp, Huang Dianyuan put down the wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Contentment said so, not afraid of the name of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors?" ”

"I'm telling the truth." Yi Zhisuff said nonchalantly: "In front of Yi Zhenren, I said the same." ”

Hearing him mention Yi Zhenren, Huang Dianyuan's heart suddenly brightened, it seems that his previous guess was correct, Yi Zhixin was really forced into the Qinglian Sect, otherwise it would not be this attitude, he immediately smiled, "Contentment doesn't want to rebel?" ”

"Rebellion?" Yi Zhizhi smiled and said, "Why rebel? And for what is the purpose of the rebellion?

Yao Qichang said without thinking: "Oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, drive out the Tartars, and restore China." ”

"Wu Sangui raised the army that year. It is also under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The White Lotus rebellion. It is also under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Yi Zhicontent laughed and said: "The Ming Dynasty has been destroyed for nearly two hundred years, can you not deceive yourself?" As for the expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of China, this is the slogan of Ming Taizu to raise troops against the Yuan, do you have the heart to fight for the world? Can you stop kidding? ”

These words are not only mean, but also the contempt for them is also obvious, but the Heaven and Earth Association is extremely powerful in Fujian and Guangzhou, and it is in the exchanges between the sects of the rivers and lakes. Generally revered, when has it ever been so despised by people? Yao Qichang's face turned red, and he stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "You——。 ”

Yi Zhishu didn't know his details, seeing that he was angry, he lifted his long shirt and lifted Erlang's legs, but his hand reached into the long shirt and held the Colt revolver, and the other party dared to turn his face. His pistol is also not vegetarian.

"Oh, Mr. Yao is not strong enough to drink?" With the voice. Su Mengdie walked in quickly with a tea tray, she was not at ease, she had been hiding outside and eavesdropping, seeing that the situation was wrong, she hurriedly came in to ease the atmosphere, glanced at the three of them, and said with a smile: "This is the new Phoenix Narcissus on the market this year, you can try it." ”

Huang Dianyuan seemed to react at this time, glared at Yao Qichang, and said, "If you can't drink, don't drink, drink tea." As he spoke, he smiled apologetically and said, "Let contentment smile." ”

Su Mengdie served tea, after all, she was not at ease, so she simply stood aside and waited, Huang Dianyuan glanced at her, did not say anything, turned to Yi Zhizhi and said: "Contentment is optimistic about the Qinglian Sect?" ”

Yi Zhishu shook his head and said, "Qinglian is not as good as Bailian. ”

I can't look at this, I can't look at anything, this kid is really above the top, Huang Dianyuan smiled slightly, and then said: "Then contentment, what is the purpose of the rebellion?" ”

Yi Zhifu was willing to climb along the pole, took a few sips of tea, and then he said slowly: "I don't want to rebel, Brother Rong wants to rebel, you should understand best, why do you want to rebel?" Why should a three-point congregation join? Why rebel? ”

"Contentment really doesn't intend to rebel?"

"As the saying goes, the government forces the people to rebel, but the court does not force it, why should I rebel?"

"Contentment should know, and there is also the saying of forcing Liangshan."

Yi Zhishu naturally understood that what Huang Dianyuan said was forced to go to Liangshan, not by the government, but by the Qinglian Sect or the Heaven and Earth Society, and after taking a puff of his cigar, he said with a smile: "No one can force me." ”

Huang Dianyuan naturally understood what he meant, but deliberately asked, "Contentment is not afraid that the court will force you?" ”

"The imperial court ——, won't force it now." Yi Zhizu said confidently: "In a few years, you can't force it, you don't dare to force it." ”

Hearing this, Huang Dianyuan, Yao Qichang, and Su Mengdie were all very curious, the court can't force it, don't dare to force it, what is the situation? The three of them didn't open their mouths to ask, and the question was also in vain, Yi Zhifen would definitely not say, and after a slight groan, Huang Dianyuan said: "What does contentment want to do?" Supporting the Qing Dynasty? ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled and said: "I'm not a Manchurian, what do I do to protect the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, Huang Dianyuan became more and more curious, and said, "What does contentment want to do?" ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, and said: "If you are outside, you must first settle inside, Brother Rong is a scholar, you should understand this truth, at the moment, the biggest danger is external trouble, one is Russia, the other is England, at this time, fighting in the nest will only cheapen Russia and England." ”

"Outside the world?" Huang Dianyuan said in surprise: "It's impossible, Yingli heard that it is tens of thousands of miles away from us." ”

Yi Zhizhi said: "Brother Rong doesn't understand the economy, and he doesn't know the national conditions and strength of England, so it's reasonable not to believe it. After a pause, he continued: "This matter will not be clear for a while, even if it is said, Brother Yourong may not believe it for a while, I came to see Brother Yourong today because I want to cooperate with your association." ”

Cooperate? Huang Dianyuan immediately asked, "Is it the Qinglian Sect?" Or Yuanqi? ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled: "Of course it's Yuan Qi." ”

"Contentment, please speak."

"Yuanqi opened a large iron ore factory in Hainan, which requires a lot of young and strong labor."

"How much?"

"Three thousand for the time being." Yi Zhizhi said: "Including food and housing, three oceans a month, you can rest assured of food, I dare not say that I eat well, the white rice is full, the mine is an open-pit mine, and there is no danger." ”

This is a good thing that is difficult to find with a lantern, Huang Dianyuan said happily: "No problem, within two months, I will be able to organize three thousand young people, but the fleet has to be arranged by Yuanqi." As he spoke, he said suspiciously, "Why don't you use the people of the Qinglian Sect for contentment?" ”

"Of course." Yi Zhizhi smiled and said, "The Qinglian Sect also uses three thousand people for the time being. ”

Six thousand? That's a big mine! Huang Dianyuan and the three of them were all stunned, speechless for a long time, and when they saw the expressions of the three people, Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly: "This is still the early stage, and more people will be needed in the future, and it is estimated that there will be 20,000 people." ”

After hesitating, Huang Dianyuan said, "Will the imperial court allow such large-scale mining?" ”

"The larger the scale, the higher the income of the government." Yi Zhizhi said: "Although rest assured, the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong have already allowed it. ”

The banquet did not disperse until it was dark, Huang Dianyuan and the others did not let Yi Zhixiang and Su Mengdie say goodbye directly at the gate of the bamboo garden, and the two of them left, Su Mengdie looked back and saw Yi Zhifen with a frosty face, lifted the long skirt, and knelt down on the spot without saying a word, she knew very well in her heart that it was superfluous to say anything now, she only hated her stomach and did not fight for it, she had not been able to conceive one for two years, and now she had no chips in her hand.

Seeing this situation, the two maids guarding the door were startled, they didn't know what was going on, they were fine, why did they make such a fuss in a blink of an eye? The two of them didn't dare to club, so they quickly knelt down.

Yi Zhishu glanced at the two maids, angry and funny, and said, "What are you two kneeling for?" Step back first. ”

The two maids hurriedly got up and covered the garden gate, and then quickly slipped away, and the footsteps were far away, and Yi Zhizhi said: "Get up, it's not your fault." ”

Hearing this, Su Mengdie couldn't believe her ears, she raised her head and took a look, and saw Yi Zhizu looking up at the moon in the sky, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, and said timidly: "San Lang Ruo." ”

"Go and call Bai Xue and Ling Xuan over." Yi Zhishu interrupted her.

Hearing this, Su Mengdie knew that this level had not yet passed, how dare she talk more, she quickly got up, walked out quickly, Yi Zhishu walked back to the hall slowly, and lit a cigar, the mining of Shilu iron ore requires a large number of manpower, and it is impossible to rely on Wu Bingjian's dispatch alone.

All the people who use the Qinglian Sect, he is not at ease, the Heaven and Earth Society and the Qinglian Sect are half each, at least there can be a check and balance between them.

Moreover, his foundation is in Guangzhou, it is impossible not to deal with the Heaven and Earth Society, through this cooperation with the Fujian Three Points Society, at least to establish contact with the Heaven and Earth Society, for the Heaven and Earth Society, he is not without ideas, this force is not used, it can be described as a big loss, the question is how to guide?
