In the afternoon sun of Fuzhou City, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove outside the side gate of the Fujian Military Supervision Bureau. As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, a beautiful girl dressed quite foreign, but with a dark complexion, came out of it. The guards on duty at the gate seemed to be quite familiar with this beautiful lady,

Not only did he not mean to check, but he also came up to greet him with a smile.

"Yo, it's Chang Er's grandmother! Are you still looking for the Sixteenth Lady today? It turned out that the person who came was Chang Ruiqing's aunt Zhao Xiang'er. Chang Ruiqing also bought a house in Fuzhou City, so that Zhao Xiang'er and Wang Ruonan, who had become a little lady, took turns to live for a while.

As soon as Zhao Xianger arrives in Fuzhou City, she will come to the Overseer's Office every once in a while to see her "godsister" Wu Yan'er. It's been so much that even the guards of the Governor's Office and the Yamen recognize her. And Wu Yan'er is being favored now, and these watchdogs in the Supervision Office naturally look down on other people's godsisters, and let them go directly without checking.

Zhao Xiang'er had already prepared a banknote from the Bank of China, quietly stuffed it to the guard, and said, "Little brother, it's a little meaning, let's take it to buy wine and drink." Then he moved lightly, entered the compound of the Governor's Office, turned a few corners, passed a few porches, and came to a small building next to the Houhuā Garden. This is Wu Yan'er's residence, which can be regarded as the most elegant place in the Governor's Office.

In front of the small building, there were a few servants in green clothes and small hats who were sprinkling and sweeping, and when they saw Zhao Xiang'er, they all bowed and saluted, and the rules in Li Houji's house were big, and all of them were moved from Li Hongzhang's mansion. Zhao Xiang'er said to one of the older officials: "Steward Li, is Mrs. Sixteen inside?" "Second grandmother, the sixteenth lady and the old man are here." The steward replied respectfully.

"Well, then I'm sorry to let you know, I'm here to see the Overseer." Zhao Xiang'er took out another banknote and stuffed it: "Steward Li, I made an appointment with the Overseer, and I came to negotiate a small business with the Overseer on behalf of me." ”

The steward put the money in his pocket, and bowed respectfully, before turning and going into the house to report. After a few minutes, he walked down with a smile on his face: "Second Grandma Chang, the master is invited." Zhao Xiang'er smiled at him and nodded, and walked into the door alone. Wu Yan'er had already helped Li Houji to walk downstairs at this time. Wu Yan'er was wearing a pink silk cheongsam, and her hair was a little messy. Li Houji was dressed in a silk gown and held a fan in his hand.

When she saw Zhao Xiang'er, she smiled with a smile: "It turned out to be Second Mrs. Chang, what a rare guest, a rare guest." As he spoke, he pointed to a seat and motioned for Zhao Xiang'er to sit down.

Xiang'er was not polite either, and said with a smile while sitting down: "What a rare guest, I came here to talk to my sister twice in three days." "Oh, yes, it's good, it's good, I'm going to come and walk around a lot in the future." Li Houji smiled slightly, and looked at Zhao Xiang'er with a smile. Yan'er on the side saw Li Houji's expression, snorted lightly, and said coquettishly: "Sister Xiang'er is the tip of the heart of the brigade commander of Changda, how can she run to the Overseer Department if she has nothing to do?" People are here today on business! "Seriously?" Li Houji was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the other party was here to talk about business with him, as if he had something to do with the Bank of China, in fact, Li Houji was not interested in this so-called business at all, but to make Wu Yan'er happy, he came out to coax the two girls.

"Hey, it's not a big deal either. ，… Zhao Xiang'er waved her hand indifferently: "But I heard Sister Yan'er mention that Li Dujun has a large amount of cash in his hand and has not much interest in the Bank of Taiwan, so I think it's a pity." So I thought of a way to make a fortune... It's the matter of the Bank of China's recruitment of commercial stocks, I don't know if Li Dujun has heard of it? ”

"Well, I've heard of it." Li Houji nodded noncommittally. Of course, he knew about the recruitment of commercial stocks by the Bank of China, but in fact, this Li Dadu Jun himself was a "financial endowment", not only had a silver dollar bureau minting silver dollars, but also controlled a bank that could issue banknotes. Through the minting of silver dollars and the discovery of banknotes, Li Houji has also amassed an astonishing fortune in recent years. It's just that these accumulated assets have no investment. Besides, in addition to issuing banknotes and minting silver dollars, ordinary industry and commerce are at risk of losing money, so it is indeed a pity that the cash in the hands of Li Dadujun was deposited in the Taiwan bank opened by the Japanese himself, and he received a meager interest. However, if he wants to take the money to invest in the Bank of China, he seems to be a little reassured, after all, the aftermath of the "Beijing Ticket Incident" has not completely passed!

Wu Yan'er looked at Li Houji and said with a smile: "Master, you probably don't know yet, the chief of the brigade and the manager of the Bank of China, Mr. Zhang Gongquan, are close friends, and he has invested hundreds of thousands of yuan in the Bank of China, and now he is also the major shareholder of the Bank of China. With the gold-lettered signboard of the Bank of China, the master's silver dollar will be passed through the whole country."

As soon as he heard the word "silver dollar", a fine light flashed in Li Houji's eyes. Privately minting silver dollars is his biggest way of wealth, and minting a silver dollar has a net profit of two cents! The silver dollar was sold at a discount to banks and banks in other provinces...... If you can directly enter the sales channel of the Bank of China, you will have at least two and a half percent of the profit! Moreover, with the platform of the Bank of China, the sales volume of silver dollars can at least be several times. In that way, the two or three million invested in the Bank of China will be able to produce the capital in less than a year!

Zhao Xiang'er had already seen that Li Houji had moved his mind, smiled faintly at him, and said: "Investing in the Bank of China is a big deal, and I am a woman's family is just a thread, if Lord Overseer is really interested, I can ask Yaoru to contact Mr. Zhang Gongquan and invite him to come to Fuzhou, how about it?" ”

Li Houji is also thinking in his heart. There is not much interest in the bank with millions of savings in his hands, and if he can really buy shares in part of the control of the Bank of China, not to mention the indiscriminate issuance of paper money or something... If you want to distribute it indiscriminately, most of them will not agree to Song Hanzhang and Zhang Gongquan. As long as your silver dollars can be issued through the channels of the Bank of China, you can make a lot of money! Besides, there will always be interest on investing in the Bank of China, right?

If Zhang Gongquan can agree to let his silver dollars enter the Bank of China, this transaction is worth worrying about! It seems that this deal is Chang Ruiqing, a kid who is changing his methods to please himself, and he doesn't break anything. It's no wonder that this kid was able to climb to the high position of mixed brigade commander in less than a year, and he really knows how to do things.

Thinking of this, Li Houji nodded lightly at Zhao Xiang'er and said with a smile: "This line is good, thank you for me." Just ask him to arrange for Mr. Zhang Gongquan to come to Fuzhou... If this business can be successful, we will be our own people in the future, and I will give Yaoru a little fatter when I have the opportunity. ”

Zhao Xiang'er hurriedly stood up and thanked her, but Li Houji just waved his hand: "Okay, that's it, there are still official dishes in my supervision office, you two sisters can talk slowly." With that, he stood up and swaggered out.

After sending the Grand Overseer Li out of the door, the two women entered Wu Yan'er's bedroom, and Wu Yan'er ordered her subordinates not to disturb, and then closed the door and began to plot again...

Well, it's a bit like that "girl", but this kind of thing is not uncommon in a big family with a group of wives and concubines, anyway, it's not a little white face, the Li family's maids and old mothers naturally hide far away. But at this time, the two beauties in the room are serious.

Wu Yan'er sat on the edge of the bed, her pink face was solemn. Zhao Xiang'er found a chair to sit opposite her, took out a small and delicate pistol from the inner pocket of her clothes, and handed it over: "Sister Yan'er, this is for you." ”

Wu Yan'er took the small pistol and frowned: "What, do you still want me to do it?" Zhao Xiang'er nodded: "When Sa Zhenbing comes to Fuzhou next month, Li Houji will definitely go to Mawei Wharf to greet him, and there will be gunmen in the middle of the road, so you can take advantage of the chaos!" She paused slightly: "But the day before this, you have to get Li Houji's check and check stamp of the Bank of China!" Zhang Gongquan will ask Li Houji to transfer the money to the account of the Fuzhou branch of the Bank of China, and then remit it to Shanghai to exchange it for stocks, which will take more than a week, as long as there is a check and a check stamp, we can take the money! After Yaoru said that it was done, he would give you one percent! ”

Wu Yan'er frowned and said nothing, played with the small pistol in her hand, and after a while, she gently bit her lip: "An achievement is hundreds of thousands of oceans, hehe is really rich and dangerous!" Well, I did it! ”

Zhao Xiang'er sighed lightly, nodded her head, and said, "Sister Yan'er, I fully understand your thoughts, and when this matter is over, I will call the shots and send you to the second master in Shanghai." Hearing this, Wu Yan'er's face turned red, and then she showed a complicated look: "What if you go?" That little conscienceless ......" Zhao Xianger smiled, sure enough, it was my sister who loves pretty, and ducks who love money, He gently patted Yan'er's shoulder and said with a smile: "Sister Yan'er, if you go to Shanghai, you will have a chance!" Even if it's nameless and undivided! There is such a thing as a name, and women like us don't care about it! As long as the people and hearts are ours. ”

Xiamen, Gulangyu Public Concession.

The night gradually fell over this small island full of exotic atmosphere. On both sides of the road, there are patches of Western-style bungalows, each with a huā garden, and from time to time you can see servants of various colors (skin tones) dressed in white sweeping the huā garden, and white children like dolls playing and playing. Occasionally, a few owners with oriental faces hurried back home from the Gulangyu wharf, most of them were the big class of the Japanese foreign company in the British Concession in Xiamen, or the children of a wealthy overseas Chinese.

An Indian police inspector with a red cloth on his head is lazily patrolling. The roads are very quiet, there are few thefts, and it is a quiet mansion area.

Chang Ruiqing was wearing a robe, a top hat, and a cane in his hand, walking on the road on Gulangyu Island in a chic manner. He was followed by Wang Ruonan, Jin Yongyan, Hu Rolling Blind, and Xu Haoyu. Along the way, I looked at the exotic scenery around with great interest. In the distance, there were more than a dozen people in black suits following behind, all dressed as officers and soldiers of Chang Ruiqing's guard platoon.

Looking at the Western-style villas on both sides of the road, Chang Ruiqing turned back to Jin Yongyan and smiled: "Principal, this is probably the backstage of Fujian, right?" Whose sphere of influence is it now here in Fujian? ”

Jin Yongyan nodded slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Here is the competition between Japan and the British, and the British have built two concessions in Xiamen, and the drum waves here are ...... The Public Concession also included the Xiamen British Concession on the other side. Japan also signed a treaty with the Qing government to establish concessions in Fuzhou and Xiamen, but it was not completed due to the obstruction of the British. Chang Ruiqing smiled: "So speaking of which, in Fujian, or the British have the upper hand?" Jin Yongyan shook his head: "Before the European war, Britain must have had the upper hand. However, at present, the power of the British is shrinking greatly, and the "Japan" himself is aggressively trying to expand his power, and the Taiwan and Penghu opposite are now the land of the "Japan" himself. ”

Chang Ruiqing said lightly: "If it weren't for the fact that the day itself wanted to expand their power, they wouldn't have found me, a little town guard, I don't know if the day himself wanted to support me to be Zhang Zuoshuang in South China?" Jin Yongyan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I hope so, if we want to seek the territory of Fujian, we can't do without the support of the great powers." ”

Wang Ruonan interjected at this time: ...... Hmph, how can the great powers support us in vain? We have to rely on the power of the "day" himself to ascend to the position, and I am afraid that we will only be the puppets of others in the future, right? ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly, his wife had the meaning of a progressive youth, and I don't know if she had participated in the May Fourth Movement in the original history? It's just that how does this little girl know that in this troubled era of the Republic of China, it is not possible to do it without a little foreign aid from the great powers! And at present, Britain and France are trapped in the European war, and the Soviet Union has not yet been established, and the only one they can pull to act as a backing is probably the "Japan" book! As for whether it will become a puppet, hehe, isn't there still Comrade Zuomin?

A few people walked along the road of Gulangyu for a while, and came to the front of a Huāyuan bungalow, and the door number outside the bungalow was impressively written with the words "Da Ri Ben Imperial Consulate in Xiamen". In front of the heavy iron gate, Okamura Ninji and a few Japanese diplomats in Western clothes were already waiting. Seeing Chang Ruiqing coming, he bowed and saluted from afar.

Chang Ruiqing was also busy clasping his fists and arching his hands: "Mr. Okamura, after a long time, I don't want to meet in Xiamen again." ”

Okamura Ninji also smiled like huāer: "Thanks to my brother's blessing, the contemptible people have been sent to the south, and they don't have to stay in Beijing to eat the wind and sand anymore." ”

The two of them crossed their arms and smiled, as if they had been friends for many years. Chang Ruiqing has his own wishful thinking about the future relations between China, Japan and the Soviet Union... At this time in history, Japan had sent a huge Vladivostok army to Russia! If they were to help the White Army as a cheerleader, Chang Ruiqing would not believe it if he died! Now it's up to who can fool whom......

The two of them hugged and bowed at the moment, and after greeting for a while, they entered the "Day" Headquarters with a smile. A Chinese banquet has been set up in the consulate's dining room.

Okamura Ningbi, and a person surnamed Yoshida, as well as Chang Ruiqing, Jin Yongyan, Hu Roller Blind, Wang Ruonan and others all sat down as guests.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Okamura Ninji got straight to the point: "Brother Yaoru, I have some heartfelt words, I don't know if I can talk to you alone?" Chang Ruiqing's eyes rolled and smiled slightly: "It's all my own people here, Mr. Okamura can just say anything he wants." ”

Okamura Ningji smiled, gently turned the wine glass in his hand, and pondered: "As far as I know, Brother Yaoru has gone from a military academy graduate in less than a year to the current position of a town guard, he is really a hero, but I don't know if Brother Yaoru has any ideas for further development?" ”

"Of course." Chang Ruiqing smiled and nodded: "... In troubled times, and with elite soldiers in hand, of course, he wants to wake up to the power of the world, and he is drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, how can Ruiqing be exempt from vulgarity? ”

"Hehe, refreshing! Readily! Okamura Ninji clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I just don't know if Brother Yaoru has any specific plans?" ”

"Yes!" A trace of murderous aura flashed on Chang Ruiqing's face: "Don't hide it from Mr. Okamura, the current easing of the situation between the north and the south is only temporary!" When the ancient matter is settled, the central government will still send troops to attack the southwest again! Then it's time for the little brother to make a contribution! As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, with a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Okamura, since you have come to Xiamen to meet, I think you want to support you...... It's better to sell sixteen Meiji New Year-style 10,000 NPC mountain guns to the mixed brigade below, so that we can make up an artillery regiment. ”

Okamura Ningji was stunned, and said in his heart: "This Chang Ruiqing is direct enough, and he wants benefits as soon as they meet!" He nodded slightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, isn't it just sixteen mountain cannons, this little thing is wrapped up in contemptible people." It's just that with these mountain artillery, Yaoru will be able to defeat Guangdong as your first mixed brigade? Even if he can conquer Guangdong, can Yaoru's brother become an overseer and governor?

In the Beiyang faction, there are a lot of respected seniors, and they haven't been well settled! ”

Hearing this, Chang Ruiqing's eyebrows suddenly twisted into a ball: "Mr. Okamura, what do you mean?" ”

Gangcun Ningci just smiled: "The contemptible people are planning for Yaoru's brother, and they are also planning for the future of China, and the contemptible people have always believed that the only person who can really save China and unite China and Japan to create a new situation in Asia is Mr. Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou!" Instead of working for Beiyang, you should switch to Mr. Sun's banner and seize a province of Fujian, and the Japanese empire will fully support you! ”
