Meng Siyuan has studied in Albion for many years, and he is very familiar with this song, a person like him and a gangster belong to two worlds, so naturally there is no friendship, let alone a long time. But since the Dangzhu incident, he has found some people in the official mansion, but it is of little use. Pang Yutang's relationship is in the palace, although the Son of Heaven is not currently in power but the Queen Mother is in power, but after all, the emperor is the emperor. The eunuch who was on an errand beside the emperor was not something that the officials in Jinmen County could handle, and the Pang family was determined to hack this bead, and it was useless for anyone to speak.

Although he is a big businessman, the Pang family is a local snake, and after weighing the rights in the government, they all persuade him to consider himself unlucky. At most, some people said that they could discuss with Pang Guandao whether they could give him tens of thousands of gold as compensation.

You know, that five-hole bead has an extraordinary origin, if you really want to make a move, as long as you find a suitable foreigner, it is hundreds of thousands of dragons and oceans without effort. Of course, he will not accept this so-called compensation.

Now the leader of the gangsters, who met for the first time, actually offered to help him claim the treasure, and refused to ask him for money compensation, which made the Meng Dong family admire. The land of Yan Zhao has been full of generous and heroic people since ancient times, and when I see it today, I am not deceiving.

He stood up and bowed to Zhao Guanhou, "In this way, Meng Mou is not welcome, Zhao Zhuang only cares about recuperating here, please do your best in this matter, Meng Mou will not urge you, nor will you force you to have a result." As long as you have this heart, Zhao Zhuangshi is a friend of Meng, and if you encounter any difficulties here, you can come to me. It's not a deal, it's a friendship. ”

The guy who was sent away by him ran back from outside, holding a few feet of red silk in his hand, but Meng Siyuan instructed him: "These are rewarded to you, go to the counter and say something, and I will send a good red horse to Zhao Zhuangshi later." The strong man got this good couple, and Meng Mou had time to congratulate him in the future, so he took this horse of cloud water as a little bit of his heart, and hoped that the strong man would accept it with a smile. ”

"The Meng Dong family has such good intentions, and I won't shirk it." Zhao Guanhou did not show rejection on the issue of silk, since he also recognized that it was friendship, then this matter was easy to handle. If you ask for money, no matter how much you give, you must be grateful to Dade, if you become a friend, then this kind of assistance will become a gift between friends, and you will be justified when you pick it up. After all, Meng Siyuan is just a businessman, not a Jianghu person, and he has no such scheming.

Zhao Guanhou asked again: "Meng Dongjia, your family has a big business, rich and wealthy, and the income of the silk village is enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing, can it be that by setting up this factory, you can multiply your family business several times?" ”

Meng Siyuan shook his head, "Setting up a factory in Daikin is a dangerous road full of thorns, no one can tell what the result will be, if you only look at the income, it is not necessarily better than my current business." But I had to. The Meng family's Yunshui Xiang won with weavers and crowned the Jinmen with needlework. Meng also boasted about this, thinking that Meng's acupuncture method was unattainable. (Note: Because of the unlucky pronunciation of silk, practitioners call it Yunshui instead, such as alkali called Qin Qiong, etc., all of which are avoided)

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on his face, "But when I entered the factory in London, heard the roar of the machine, and saw the billowing black smoke coming out of the chimney, Meng realized one thing." The stitching method of the Meng family and the skills of the weavers are as vulnerable as our army's in the face of Western industry. If we want to make the country stronger, and no longer let the Tessians show off their power on our land with just a few warships, the only thing we can rely on is industry. Only industry can save China, and only machinery can strengthen the country. Meng set up a factory, and the person he wanted was not his own wealth, but actually explored a way for future generations to save the country through industry. The five trick beads are my heirlooms, if they are lost in my hands, Meng is a sinner of the Meng family, and he is defeated by the ancestors of the Meng family. But if he can't set up an industry, Meng is sorry for the whole country. The two trade-offs, Meng Mouning bears his ancestors and lives up to his family and country. ”

Zhao Guanhou originally listened to him with a smile on his face, but when he heard this, the expression on his face became serious, and he hugged his fist and saluted Meng Siyuan, "Meng Dongjia has the world in mind, and Zhao admires it." Although the road to industrial salvation is a golden avenue, the person who opens the road may not be able to get anything in return. Since Meng Dongjia is willing to sacrifice heavy treasures for the country, Zhao is not talented, and he does not have such a big family business as you, but this rotten life is to fight for this life, and he will seek justice for you to come back. ”

"Zhao Zhuangshi, you ...... Do you really endorse the path to industrialization? Meng Siyuan was overjoyed, and his idea of industrialization did not have many supporters in his own home. Jin Guoren is accustomed to the traditional way of working, and he does not agree with his behavior of investing heavily in setting up a factory.

Fortunately, he is a very assertive person, and there is no one to hinder him at home, so he can push the business of running a factory. However, there are not too many peers in the business community who agree with him, and the government, although there is a Westernization movement, but most of the factories are government-run, and they are not optimistic about businessmen running factories. Unexpectedly, a gangster leader in the alley recognized his idea.

Zhao Guanhou for the specific measures of industrialization, is not much help, he did not have much contact with industry in his last life, occasionally a few times, contact is also his own era of high-tech machinery and equipment companies. There is a huge generation gap between its technological content and the machines of this era, and it is impossible for him to provide any practical help to Meng Siyuan. But in terms of thinking and understanding, he supported Meng Siyuan.

If you can't give practical things, you can only talk about ideals, and Meng Siyuan didn't expect to get any technical support from a gangster, or even if Zhao Guanhou could say any insight, he didn't dare to believe it. Acquaintances are hard to find, and Zhao Guanhou's prospect for the prospect of industrialization has already made Meng Siyuan a confidant, and the conversation between the two lasted for nearly an hour, until Meng Ji's buddy sent a piece of silk, and they ended the talk.

After all, he has a lot of things to do, and it is impossible to stay here for a long time, and staying for so long is already an exception, and it is time to leave. It's just that Meng Siyuan no longer regards Zhao Guanhou as an ordinary gangster at this time, and regards the other party as a heroic hero in the midst of recklessness.

"Brother Guanhou Xian, you and I are familiar at first sight, and the foolish brother must also tell you the truth, and do what you can. I naturally hope that this treasure can be returned to the Meng family, but if I take a risk for this, it is absolutely difficult for me to accept it. I'd rather lose a family heirloom than lose a friend. ”

Zhao Guanhou sent him to the door on crutches, and only hugged his fists, "Brother Meng, I won't give you any package tickets, just wait for the matter to be resolved, and it will not be too late for us to talk." ”

After sending people away, when he returned home, Su Hanzhi looked at the bright silk horse, and repeatedly groped on it, "This is the best material, if you buy such a horse, you will have to pay more than a dozen taels of silver." This can't be broken for it, it's too wasteful to use it to make a quilt, and I can make a quilt when I go back to the store and tear some broken silk. Keep this satin, and when you marry your daughter-in-law, give it to your daughter-in-law as a dowry. ”

"Okay, I support what my sister said, then you can take the silk home. Because my daughter-in-law is you. Zhao Guanhou smiled and hugged her, Su Hanzhi's body stiffened slightly, but then he was at his mercy, just lowered his head and didn't let Zhao Guanhou see his face.

"Put this silk in your house first, and when you settle down...... It's never too late to send it. You agreed to the matter of the beads of the Meng Dong family, are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, take it easy...... Maybe it won't be long before the beads can be returned to Mr. Meng. ”

"How can this be delayed?" Zhao Guanhou shook his head, put his mouth to Su Hanzhi's ear and said, "The Pang family is not a good thing, if you eat the meat in your mouth, you won't spit it out, and it's impossible to expect them to hand it over." No matter how good this bead is, the Pang family may not use it, what I'm afraid of is that they will find a way to sell it. So this kind of thing has to be done sooner rather than later, and when my legs are better, I have to do it. Besides, the sooner this is done, the better it will be for us. ”

He kissed Su Hanzhi lightly on his pink face, the latter's body trembled violently, and he muttered an unknown meaning in his mouth, but he meekly let him attack the city and plunder the land on himself, and even ignored the fact that Jiang Fengzhi might come over to learn to write.

"Sister, a big businessman like the Meng family is actually very capable, don't look at him being bullied now as if he can't fight back, in fact, this kind of big businessman is very energetic. If nothing else, at least he's rich enough. This hellish bead, just dang, is worth 100,000 yuan, and when I get it back, even if I don't mention anything, won't he give me a few hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift? If he didn't know how to behave, business wouldn't be where it is today. What's more, it seems that he is a gentleman today, a gentleman, easy to deal with, and better...... Deceit. The more I don't talk to him, the more he will give me money, and even the money we will marry can be taken out of him. ”

"You...... Aren't you very speculative with him? I thought...... Thought you were really going to be friends with him. You are not very interested in what kind of industrialization he is engaged in, what kind of industry to rejuvenate the country, and you are also talking about the Tao, I thought you were the same as him. I don't understand what you're talking about, but wouldn't it be nice to make our Dajin Kingdom the same as Albion? ”

Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly, "How can things be so simple, who is doing foreign affairs now?" Zhang Zhongtang in the north, Zhang Xiangshuai in Huguang, and Sheng Yuzhai in Songjiang who engaged in telegraphs. These are all members of the imperial court, and they spend the money of the imperial court. It is not so easy for ordinary people to do foreign affairs. It is true that Meng Siyuan is a good person, and what he does is indeed a good thing, but a good person does not mean that he can do it. His steps are too big, and if he fails, he will be ruined; Even if it did, he would be the target of public criticism. There is no hard backer behind him, and even a small Jinmen defense camp pipe belt can't be leveled, even if there is an achievement, everyone wants to come over and take a bite, and he can't resist it. It's enough to be friends with this kind of person, but it's okay to really treat him as a confidant. No matter how good his ideals are and how great his future is, it has nothing to do with me. The only thing I care about is you. ”

Su Hanzhi's body shook slightly, and gently pushed him, "Don't make trouble, I'll help you wash your clothes first, and then go buy some silk and get your quilt again." At night...... I listen to you. ”

In the next few days, Zhao Guanhou's life was very comfortable, and Su Blind was tripped by the Ji Nu and didn't see anyone all day. Jiang Fengzhi seemed to have a big trouble with Ding Jianming, running here every day, learning to write, but Ding Jianming disappeared. Su Hanzhi completely let go, and let him be close every day, if it weren't for someone coming to stay on duty every night, plus Zhao Guanhou had an injury on his leg, even if he ate her, it was estimated that it would not be a big problem.

Taking advantage of this time, another Luo Ping's story came out and was delivered to the Congregational Daily, and he also received a remuneration of ten yuan from Yingyang. But the draft of Luo Ping vs. Sherlock has never come out, and he is going to use this manuscript to fish for Ono Matsu, and he will not release it easily.

Su Hanzhi didn't know why her interest in writing and learning to read had weakened a lot, and it was better to cope with errands than to study. I just enjoyed the process of being with him, and I didn't really learn it.

Zhao Guanhou is not in a hurry, there is always her own mentor, even if she wants to be poor, she will not be far behind. With the recovery of his leg injury, he was finally able to act and retrieve the orb for Meng Siyuan.
