Yi Zhizu trained the horse gang in the eight houses of Hainan for the governor Yiliang, so that he could try out the cultivation of crows in the vassal state. film, Wu Bingjian knew about this for a long time, and he sent someone to help, because he heard that Yi Zhixiang was going to Hainan to train troops, but he didn't think about it deeply at all.

Wu Shaorong didn't know these things, and when he heard that Yi Zhixin was going to Hainan, he was very surprised, and immediately said: "Is it possible to avoid Lin Zexu if you are content?" ”

"He doesn't sell crows. Film, is it necessary to avoid Lin Qincha? Wu Changqing snatched him away.

Wu Bingjian frowned slightly, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, when Lin Zexu was about to arrive in Guangzhou, Yi Zhixiang was going to Hainan to train troops, this really meant to avoid, why? Afraid of money? Easy to be content is not stingy.

Yi Zhifen entered the hall with a smile, and Wu Shaorong was also there, he was a little surprised, and immediately bowed down and said, "The younger generation has seen Pinghu Gong." Standing up, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Liangfu, Brother Changqing." ”

"Contentment is not needless to be polite." Wu Bingjian said, looked at Wu Shaorong and Wu Changqing, and said, "Shaorong go to take a bath, Changqing go and order, tidy up the good banquet on the table, and be content to eat here today." ”

Yi Zhishu didn't eat at Wu's house, and immediately said with a smile: "Xie Pinghu is hospitable. ”

Wu Shaorong had a stomach of opinions, this was obviously to drive him away, he really didn't understand, what was something that he, the general businessman of the thirteen lines, couldn't listen to, but in front of the old man, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, even if he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, he immediately got up and arched his hand to Yi Zhicontent, and turned around and left with Wu Changqing.

The two of them left the hall, and Wu Bingjian asked directly: "Contentment wants to go to the eight institutes?" ”

"Yes." Yi Zhishu said calmly: "I just came out of the Governor's Mansion, and Lord Deng and Lord Yi have already agreed. ”

Yiliang will naturally agree, why does Deng Tingzhen also agree? Wu Bingjian didn't have the heart to pursue this matter, and after a little silence, he said in a deep voice: "Be content to understand the truth about England and Europe." Proficient in English, and quite familiar with the military and political officials of Guangzhou and the righteousness of the British side, Lin Zexu came to Guangzhou to ban smoking, and he will inevitably have a lot of contentment, but contentment left Guangzhou when Lin Zexu was about to arrive in Guangzhou, why? But expect a war between Qing and Britain? ”

was broken by him. Yi Zhixiang did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Pinghu Gong is clear-sighted, and this little trick of the younger generation cannot escape the eyes of Pinghu Gongfa." ”

"I've learned to be poor." Wu Bingjian glared at him and said, "The court officials don't know the strength of England, don't they know if they are content?" If the outbreak of war between the two countries is unavoidable, contentment should take precautions and prepare in advance, and the old man will strongly support it, but contentment will be able to mediate from it. Resolve this war, but know that it can be done but do not do it, and the old man does not approve. ”

"Pinghu is serious." Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, and said: "This is simply a war that cannot be resolved, it is impossible for the imperial court to not stop smoking, and it is impossible for England to give up crows. The film trade, especially in England, is now experiencing a serious economic crisis, and there is no chance of resolving the situation.

Wu Bingjian stared at him and said, "Citigroup businessmen have all withdrawn from Crow since the second half of last year. The piece was smuggled. ”

Yi Zhizu sighed lightly. Dao: "Citigroup quits Crow. The smuggling is because we order fleets and munitions. The construction of the Fozhou-Guangzhou Railway and the purchase of a large number of machinery and equipment are nearly 10 million yuan of orders, far greater than the smuggling crows of Citigroup. Slice of profit.

If we can place an order of thirty or fifty million for England, this war can also be avoided, and the imperial court will ban smoking a little earlier. If it can be postponed for three years, and the Yuan Qi who is waiting to unify the two rivers, the younger generation dares to boast, and he will definitely be able to resolve this war. ”

Wu Bingjian saw that he was moving, and then said: "The content side is the one who frankly hopes that a war will break out between Qingying and Ying." ”

"This is what Pinghu Gong said." Yi Zhishu hurriedly argued.

"It doesn't matter who says it." Wu Bingjian said: "Tell me why. ”

"It's simple." Yi Zhizu said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for the imperial court to allow Yuan Qi to continue to sit big. The younger generations also did not want to see the development of Guangzhou forcibly interrupted by the imperial court. ”

Wu Bingjian said: "Hasn't the imperial court been conniving at Yuanqi's growth? ”

"That's because the issuance of government bonds and the construction of railways require a strong Yuanqi." Yi Zhishu said with a wry smile: "It is not surprising that this year or next year, the imperial court will weaken Yuan Qi's strength by issuing treasury bonds or building railways, or even forcibly apportion or order donations.

Our court is different from England, Citigroup and other European and American countries, in their country, private property is sacrosanct, English Prime Minister William Pitt summed up the concept of property rights protection has a very concise sentence - 'The wind can enter, the rain can enter, the king cannot enter.' 'Pinghu Gong should have heard of it, right?' ”

This sentence is a proud word of English businessmen, Wu Bingjian has indeed heard of it, and he is also very envious of it, if the imperial court also protects private property like England, he will not go to great lengths to protect Nuoda's family property.

After a long silence, he spoke: "Although England has suffered a serious economic crisis, the officials are against it. There was also a lot of the piece trade, and both Yoshilu and his predecessors were against the crows. Piece trade, this war may not be resolved or postponed, as contentment said, wait another two or three years, once Yuan Qi unifies the two rivers of money, you can resolve the crow. As long as the crisis caused by the film trade is eased in the past two years, will everyone be happy?

As for protecting property, isn't contentment intended to expand its business in Citigroup? Why not transfer some of your property to Citigroup, and even if anything happens in the future, you can leave a way out. ”

Seeing that he still had illusions, Yi Zhizhi did not distinguish between contentment, and said happily: "The younger generation listens to Pinghu Gong, go to the eight institutes to take a turn, one is to appease the governor's heart, and the other is to see if the mine in Shilu has mining value, and now that the imperial court has lifted the mining ban, Yuanqi will focus on the mining industry in the future, as short as one month, as long as two months, and the younger generation will rush back to Guangzhou and try their best to mediate." ”

Wu Bingjian put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Contentment should indeed go to the Eight Institutes, otherwise Lord Yi will be muttering." ”

Seeing that he was relieved, Yi Zhixiang immediately struck while the iron was hot, and said: "The juniors went to the Eighth Institute, not only to the fleet, but also to Pinghu Gong to help transport some students and the guns and ammunition needed for live-fire training to the ocean. "He came to Wu Bingjian, mainly for this point, he doesn't have the ability to smuggle, Yan Qichang may have, but he doesn't want Yan Qichang to know these things.

Wu Bingjian said: "Changqing said that he wants to go to the Eight Institutes with you, and he needs a few boats, and when he wants it, you can discuss it with Changqing." (To be continued.) )
