"Miss Dai is beautiful and generous, this necklace is a perfect match for Miss, from the day it was made, it should be worn by you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The two of them came to Dong'an Market from the hotel, and the jewelry merchant arranged by the foreigners was already waiting there. At present, the world is not good, Shandong Dashuai, Prince Hongxian, such a broad guest, is even more difficult to find. Each family took out their own treasures at the bottom of the box and pushed forward desperately.

Merchants in the jewelry business naturally know how to flatter women, and they can not be heard by people. Anne is not stupid, although the woman who is immersed in love, her intelligence has decreased compared to usual, but when it comes to bargaining and choosing goods, she still keeps her clear head.

She did like the jewelry, but the price they quoted was too expensive. Myself...... I can't ask for it. Without waiting for her to refuse, Zhao Guanhou had already waved his hand generously, "Wrap it up, quote the total price, and I'll write a check to you." ”

A businessman laughed dryly twice and said embarrassedly: "Lord Wang, you always speak, and the little ones dare not listen." But in response to your instructions, the small ones here also have a situation, and we don't accept the tickets for the two lines of traffic and transportation. That one...... The guy just sent the news that the Bank of Communications has issued a notice that it is no longer allowed to exchange banknotes for silver dollars. It is estimated that the Mutual Bank, that is, this half-day matter, the ticket may not be scrapped......"

"Okay, will this king still send you a few small dollars? I'll just pay the reckless ticket. Nothing else, this king is rich. Also, bring that diamond ring over there, I'm going to give it to my wife. ”

The goods were naturally delivered to the residence by the men, and there was no need for soldiers to pick them up, but when the two of them left holding their arms, Anne whispered, "Sister...... Brother-in-law, we are such a waste, so many jewels, I can't wear them at all. I'm not the kind of woman who likes jewelry very much, I care about the person who loves me by my side, not what expensive jewelry he gives me, or how much money it spends for me. With so many jewels, can you return them? ”

"What to return, this is the beginning, and we will have to go shopping for clothes in a while. As I said, I will make it back if I owe you what I owe you. ”

"I don't need you to make it up to me, and I don't like the jewelry or the clothes. I've never been to the capital, so I'm very happy if you accompany me around and eat some snacks in the capital. Her face turned red again, fortunately there were no guards around, otherwise would she feel very bad, and she actually took advantage of Sister Leng He's absence to gain an inch.

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "If you want to eat snacks, this is easy." Let me tell you, I am familiar with the capital, much more familiar than Songjiang, if you want to eat, follow me, and you will be full. In fact, I have already sent Gao Sheng to be a guide horse, just to take you to the front gate of Dashilar to eat. But we have to eat things, jewelry, clothes and shoes to buy, and if the future general manager of the Bank of Communications does not come up with enough financial resources, how can we convince the businessmen? Besides, if the bills are to become a currency of the same value as the two lines of banknotes in the future, the foundation must be laid now. I just want to spend a lot of money this time, telling them that Shandong has money, and they must have confidence in Shandong! ”

Dashilar on weekdays is a lively place at the top of the capital, especially all kinds of snack stalls, whether it is a fire or a fried triangle, boiled and fried liver, there are no people in front of any stall. But today, the streets were empty, and there were only soldiers brought by Gao Sheng, and there were no pedestrians in sight.

Like the princess and the prince, this pair is incompatible with the depressed environment, as if everyone is in two completely different worlds. Anne was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Isn't it usually like this?" ”

"Why, it's usually lively here, even if you bring troops, there may not be a seat. But it won't work today, and the Bank of Communications is about to close, and everyone is scared. Especially ordinary people, they have no inside information, they don't know that it is a matter of time or time, and they either have a passbook or two lines of banknotes in their hands. Afraid that they will become waste paper, don't you go to the Kyodo Bank and want to exchange money from there? ”

Anne shook her head, "It can't be. If they go now, they will help the Bank of Mutual Cooperation close its doors. ”

"They are not you, where do they know so many things, they can only spontaneously want to reduce losses. After I talked to Liang Caishen last night, he knew the importance and didn't dare not pay back the money he owed us. But in order to pay off our debts, we have to set aside a reserve, and the banks are even more inoperable. Closing the door was expected, come, let's eat, ignore him. ”

The shopkeeper had a desperate look on his face, two bowls of belly, both of which were too old to bite, and Anne frowned and chewed for a long time, unable to bite at all. Gao Sheng saw that his errand office was smashed, and angrily pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the boss's head, "You're tired of life, aren't you?" This is the prince and new lady of Emperor Hongxian, you dare to treat it like this, believe it or not, I stewed you in the pot. ”

The boss fell to his knees, "Prince? Great, you can do it, give me a shot. I can't live anymore! A lifetime of savings, say no, it's all gone. If you kill me, my wish will be granted. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, get up and speak." I don't want this bowl of belly, you make us another one, as long as you do it well, I will pay you all your savings. Including the money in your hand, I will pay for it. But this can't bite the belly, don't let it have anymore. ”

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, the person selling siu mai on the other side had already answered: "Lord Wang, you always appreciate your face and try the small siu mai." I'll make it for you, and you and your wife will taste it......"

The owners of the entire Dashilar food stalls were already desperate because they were not allowed to leave because they were ordered by the army. But after hearing Zhao Guanhou's promise, he was full of unprecedented vitality. Everyone took out their own solutions and brought their own craftsmanship to the extreme. According to the old shopkeeper, even when there was an emperor, he had never seen the whole street serve a couple of people so attentively.

Zhao Guanhou alone and the two of them must not be able to eat so much, and these soldiers who served as guards also fell into a good meal. All the stall owners are insects in Sijiu City, and the compliments are particularly beautiful. When you pay tribute to your own food, you can't help but say that you have a noble son early, which is a match made in heaven.

Anne's face was filled with a happy smile, and the blessings of the people who only wanted three meals all day long, plus the snacks that could be found everywhere on the streets, satisfied her more than the church bells and the capetic feast.

She can be sure of one thing, when Sister Leng He held a wedding in Songjiang, there were not so many ordinary people to send blessings, and she finally won her once.

"I feel that the current capital is like the original Songjiang. Everyone is in the same despair, the same panic. A large number of low- and middle-income people went bankrupt and lost everything they had, and there would be no shortage of businesses like my family that suddenly closed down. I think...... Sell all the jewelry and help them. I actually had a lover...... You don't have to look at me like that, I mean back then. As soon as the stock market crash happened, his family fled and no one was gone, and my father asked me to go to the villa...... Serving you. I don't really have a problem with that, because of the situation at the time, if you didn't take me in, I might end up in a place like Huile. It was you and the eldest lady who saved me, and besides, the first time I met you, even though you didn't pay attention to me, I already liked you. But there are too few lucky women like me, and I don't want many poor girls like me to be forced to become a retainer or marry a very bad partner. If we can help, let's help a few more. ”

"Help, of course, but don't sell jewelry. These are the things I gave you, how can you sell them, let alone sell, be careful that I punish you today, go find that foreign girl. ”

Anne was bullied by him, and she didn't dare to say more, so she had to listen to Zhao Guanhou's arrangement.

"I'm actually just waiting for the two banks to fail, if they don't fail, how can my Zhengyuan be listed? I've made appointments with representatives of several consortia and they'll lend the position to help us cover our expenses. I was in Shandong, and I printed a lot of reckless bills just to cope with the current situation. On the train we were on, there were a few carriages that were full of reckless tickets, and now they are just being used to redeem them. If it is not enough, it can be departed from Shandong at any time to ensure the supply of banknotes. The silver dollar is also guaranteed to be sufficient, and anyone who wants to exchange it for foreign money can exchange it. ”

"Are their conditions harsh?" Of course, Anne doesn't believe that foreigners will have good intentions, and at this time, she must take advantage of the fire to rob. But her husband must have a way, she believes in him.

"Fortunately, both the two lines of transportation have a large number of high-quality assets, and these people are mainly interested in those assets. But I've talked to them about it, and it's not impossible to get a handle on those assets, but it's impossible to take them for nothing. Everyone can join forces to operate and make the cake bigger. Moreover, when peace is restored, they will also need loans to maintain government expenses. In short, everyone takes what they need, and everyone is happy, and they don't plan to mine in Shandong. The road mines in other provinces can be developed cooperatively, so that the foreigners can bring us and let the power of Shandong also enter those provinces, which is a good thing. In the future, when Bank of Communications reopens, it will re-invest in investors and give them a part of the shares. Although foreign capital will come in, our shares will still dominate, as for whether you can maintain the scene, it depends on the general manager, that is, your means. ”

Anne said secretly: If Dad is still alive, he will be very happy to hear this news. His daughter can finally raise her eyebrows and make her own achievements to show others. I will definitely be good and not let people look down on me. She asked, "What about Sister Leng He?" She still only cares about Zhengyuan? ”

"Zhengyuan, Gonghe, and the two major banks have to be managed by her. Also, in the Ministry of Finance, there must be a place for her. If this condition is not agreed, the peace agreement will not be reached. Not only will the Southwest Military Affairs Institute make trouble, but also Shandong. The person I want to hold out, I will definitely be able to hold it out, and no one can stop it. ”

The night's drinking party, just like yesterday, is different that the news that Anne slept with Zhao Guanhou last night seems to have leaked. No man offered her courtesy today, but with his blessings, the number of noble ladies with whom she had befriended increased. The girl who was still around Zhao Guanhou yesterday instead said compliments to her, praising her jewelry and her clothes.

Anne didn't have much effort to entertain these people, but in her heart, she felt that the blessings of those people in Dashilar were more sincere. At least their joy and anger are written on their faces, here, it can only be regarded as a masquerade ball, and they are also one of the dancers.

It took about half an hour for Zhao Guanhou to come to her, take her arm and ask in a whisper, "Is there anyone who has come to pay you courtesy?" Pointing it out, I'm going to duel him. ”

"No, everyone knows the habit of Chinese women from the beginning, who will be bored. I would like to know, is there any girl who continues to show affection to you and want to be one of the handsome wives? I won't go to a duel, I'll only send a telegram to Sister Leng He. ”

"There are people who express their affection, but unfortunately, there are not many girls, and there are no more than you. Most of them are men, and the way they express themselves is only to send us money, and none of them give away. I have already negotiated with several consortia, and each consortia have agreed to transfer positions to Zhengyuan, and as soon as Zhengyuan is opened, there will be silver carts to send Dayang to the bank one after another. When we were shopping today, Liang Caishen sent someone to bring the money owed to us. He was very clever and didn't dare to fool me with banknotes, and in addition to gold bars, he sent a few certificates of deposit from foreign banks, and even this money was enough for us to support us for a while. ”

Anne asked, "Then where did Zhengyuan choose to open a store?" ”

"I chose it in the jewelry market, the original general number of Siheng. When the Eight-Nation Coalition Army came in, they burned Siheng, and later Dong Jun paid for the reconstruction. The layout is designed according to the foreigner bank, as long as the signboard is changed, you can open for business. However, the staff will have to be replaced, and I will send a telegram tomorrow to transfer a group of female employees from Shandong first, and then recruit them from Tianjin after a while. In the Jinmen Women's College, there are many female students who have studied and can come to work as workers. Moreover, Emperor Hongxian abolished the eunuchs and used female officials, and there were many women in the palace, most of whom were well-read and literate ladies. After entering the palace once, it is difficult to settle, and it is a good way to work in a bank. ”

"When will it start operating? Also, on the Yamen side, promise or not. ”

"No, he dares? I will tell Lei Zhendong tomorrow that when he opens, he will be asked to send a company of soldiers to be responsible for maintaining order. Whoever dares to make trouble will correct the Fa on the spot. Jiang Bodhisattva has nothing to say, he is very slippery, and he won't do anything against me. ”

Hearing the name Lei Zhendong, Anne frowned slightly, "This person, I heard that he has a very bad reputation, he likes to arrest people and kill people indiscriminately, and he is a famous butcher." Wouldn't it be good to contact him? ”

"Lao Lei is definitely not a good person, but he makes the best use of his talents, and in this matter, it is just right to use him. If you think about it, it is difficult to guarantee the order of banks to exchange banknotes and passbooks, and we are exchanging money at a six-fold discount, so it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied. If you make a fuss, a group of women can't hold down the scene. In daily work, it is inevitable that some gangsters will cause trouble, and a butcher like Lao Lei is the most effective to deter this Gancheng fox society. As long as they heard his name, those people's legs were weak first, and they dared to make trouble. As for himself, rest assured, he is still begging to do things for me, and in front of you, I promise to be more obedient than my third grandson. ”

Lei Zhendong made a huge contribution to Hong Xian, and he wanted to find a royal forest messenger or go out of the town. Because he was in a hurry to get to the top, he used extremely ruthless methods, and he refused to be emotional. Even the homes of some of Ge Ming's heroes were harassed, and their relatives were also killed. For a period of time, the capital heard thunder and changed color.

But feng shui takes turns, and now the country is unstable, and he, the vanguard of Hongxian, is most afraid of the victory of the southwest army and wants to repay his blood debt. On the list of the Guangdong Military Affairs Yuan, he was listed as an important criminal and demanded that the law be brought to justice on the spot.

If he wants to save his life, he has to find a strong enough backer, and Zhao Guanhou's power is something he wants to climb but can't climb. There is an opportunity to work for Zhao Guanhou, it's too late to please, don't worry about anything else. Anne's heart also relaxed, and she rested her head on Zhao Guanhou's shoulder

"I knew that whether it was a butcher or a devil, when I met my husband, he would definitely be obedient. You're just that good. However, if we want to revive the economy, we are only the first step in coming out to save the market, or rather, it can be regarded as an internal remedy. If the external pressure does not go, our method is not a long-term solution, and we must try our best to alleviate the scourge of war in the shortest possible time in order to make the market truly saved. ”

That's right, so I'll arrange the bank's affairs first, and the next step is to solve the outside affairs. The situation is basically clear, the Beiyang Army is defeated without defeat, and the Southwest Army is victorious without victory. At the military level, Cai Feng has little chance of winning. However, at the domestic and economic levels, if we do not stop the war, foreigners will refuse to take out loans, and it will be difficult for the country to sustain itself. Therefore, negotiation is inevitable. The question now is how to fight for the greatest rights and interests for oneself in the negotiation and not lose one's own things, which requires people with strength to come forward. ”

The powerful person naturally refers to Zhao Guanhou himself, and the next day, as soon as the two got up in bed, the waiter came to report, and someone sent a sticker. The name sticker was sent by the second son Yuan Hanyun, but he didn't arrive in person, and the person who sent the sticker was his messenger, who prepared the carriage and asked Zhao Guanhou to go to Yanyi Tower to meet.

Anne, who has always been tame, is like a hen guarding her cubs, and she opens her arms to stop at the door, "Don't go!" You are not allowed to go. Even if you beat me, I won't let you go. It's already very dangerous to enter Beijing, how can you still send it to the tiger's mouth. It's easy to get into the three seas, but it's hard to get out. I won't allow you to take risks, and Sister Leng He won't agree. ”

"You......" Zhao Guanhou smiled and patted her shoulder, "Obedient, get out of the way." From the moment I entered Beijing, something should have happened, and something had already happened. So far, it is safe, which means that the emperor's brain has not been broken. Besides, the 100,000 tigers of our Lu army are not eating dry rice. They must have something important to discuss with me now, and if I don't enter the palace, it will be tantamount to announcing a break with the whole group. I don't support my brother-in-law as the emperor, it doesn't mean that I want to quit this group, I should go to the entertainment scene, no matter what. Besides, even if they want to be unfavorable to me, it's okay to have this ability, you said, I'm the most powerful, can I have a little confidence in me? ”

Anne thought about it, knew that she couldn't stop it, and suddenly gritted her teeth, "You go, I'll go too, wrap a circle of hands around my body and leave a bullet." If they don't let you go, I'll pull the fuse and everyone will die! ”
