The Ministry of Civil Affairs was only changed from the Ministry of Police during the Manchu Dynasty, while the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the New Dynasty was the largest of the twelve ministries, including ten departments of police, household registration, land administration, disaster relief, associations, and customs. This secretary is Zhang Chengyue, who controls the police with one hand to prevent chaos in the police system, and other household registration and land administration, which have nothing to do with the armed force, will be handed over to others.

In the new formal government, Qiu Jin was appointed as a squire of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, that is, a deputy minister, who could not interfere except for the police, but many women in other departments were admitted to the ministry with her support. In this era, the women who can come out to take the exam and become officials cannot be underestimated, these people are not many in number, but their energy is not small. These tigresses had written to abolish the Qinglou on the grounds that they were discriminating against and playing with women, but the existence of the Xianggong Tang in the Eight Hutongs immediately bankrupted this argument. In the final analysis, the custom industry is still a special business, where there is demand, there is supply, can it be banned at home and abroad for thousands of years?

As for morality and ethics, when did Premier Yang Rui care about the morality and ethics established by Confucianism? If you don't miss the old feelings, you are ruthless; If you don't pay attention to righteousness, you are unrighteous; If you don't advocate ethics, you are unreasonable. This is the empirical summary of the sour Confucians' experience of the prime minister of the current dynasty, and they dare not add another sentence at the end: It is said that there is a law to take the respect of the prime minister of the current dynasty as the defendant.

Trying to persuade Yang Rui and the Congress to cancel the Qinglou failed, Qiu Jin and others could only use the existing laws to rescue those 'suffering' Qinglou women, but in reality, although those women 'suffered', they could live far more nourishing than ordinary women, and the biggest pain was nothing more than meeting rude guests, or being beaten and starved by the bustard because the business was too poor and the money was too little. Those who really regard Qinglou as a fire pit are those who have just entered the industry. And then there is enough money to want to be good.

There are so many women from poor families, and the bustard originally bought a woman to work by himself. And now that the population flow is gradually opening, many beautiful female silk reeling workers have volunteered to do this business. So in the end, only the latter needs to be rescued. 6 Mengxiong married concubines on a large scale in order to save these good women who had earned enough money and wanted to get out of the fire pit, after all, within the concession, except for the Axe Gang belonging to the Intelligence Bureau, Qiu Jin and the others really couldn't think of any better way.

When Yang Rui inspected the shipyard in Nanjing, a grand wedding was being held in the Shanghai Aili Garden, and twenty-three women who wanted to marry the general of the dynasty 6 Mengxiong as concubines. Therefore, the ransom money is very small, but who would have thought that there would be more than 20 concubines and concubines, and the mother-in-law seems to be too much.

Qiu Jin was dressed in a three-grade official robe, and the Japanese sword hanging on her waist was no longer a Japanese sword, but a Chinese-style long sword, and she didn't seem to see the old bustards with sad faces, but smiled and watched the master of ceremonies officiate at the wedding. Ransoming these women from the bustard at a low price is only a small part of her plan, but it is also the most crucial part. Now that I see that something big has come to pass, I can't help but rejoice. After the newlyweds bowed to each other, she greeted in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, please have a glass of water and wine first." It's time for the auction. At that time, the royal treasures, as well as some old things of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, will be put up for auction, so please wait. Please wait! ”

The wedding was followed by an auction, which was nondescript. But that's what the newspapers advertised, taking advantage of the break in the change of scenes. Qiu Jin was busy at the back and asked Wu Zhiying, who was urging him to count the money: "Have you calculated it, how many financial gifts have you received?" ”

Wu Zhiying was sweating, a few accountants transferred from the Shanghai Municipal Government in the room were making calculations, and a few courtiers from the Shanghai pawnshop were appraising each gift, but the time was too tight, there were too many property gifts, and there was no accurate number until now, she glanced back at the chief accountant, and saw that he shook his head and had to say: "Xuanqing, I'm afraid it will take another hour to have a result, and now there are more than 31,300 yuan, which is a little short of the 100,000 we want." ”

"Hey! That's so much! Qiu Jin sighed. You can only watch the auction. ”

She said that she left here, and went to the inner room of the Aili Garden to meet the newlyweds, at this time the cameo groom 6 Mengxiong had already fled, only to see more than 20 brides chattering there, and a few were still asking where the groom had gone. However, as soon as Qiu Jin arrived, the inner room suddenly quieted down, and under the leadership of Qi Feng Yu Zhufeng, everyone saluted like Qiu Jin, "Lord Qiu helped me and other sisters escape from the cage, the little girl ...... in this life"

There are a lot of women in the Qinglou, and Qiu Shilang can't care whether they are sincere or fake, so he said honestly: "Okay." Get up. 6 The general has already left, and you did not go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register your marriage, which also saves a lot of trouble. If you see someone you like in the future, then marry him, no one will ......stop you," Qiu Jin said, and the women wanted to thank him again, but she hurriedly stopped, "If you really want to thank you, then according to what we discussed before, buy some stocks of the hosiery factory as a thank you." If this factory is really run well in the future, you are also a shareholder of the factory, and you will not suffer a loss. ”

More than 20 people are the top cards in the Shanghai bookstore, and the redemption fee is extremely high, and now Tong Guò Qiu Jin is talking about the item. is still married to a general, and the Qinglou is just going through the motions to give some money. However, at the beginning, he said that after he came out, he would spend some money to buy the stock of the hosiery factory, so that he could make money to save the suffering women in the world.

"Lord Qiu, we'll donate now, we'll donate now." When several women heard this, they immediately said, although Qiu Jin had told them many times, but what was going on, some of them still hadn't figured it out.

"It's not a donation! It's business. If you want to, buy stocks, and if you have less money, then keep it and live a good life. Don't go back. Qiu Jin admonished. Then he explained to his secretary Yi Weijun and said: "You take them to the account room, look at them when they buy stocks, and let them not buy them if they have less money." ”

"Yes, I see!" Yi Weijun said with a smile, in fact, this is completely a plan she came up with, and now that she has come to this point, she is very happy, and the real money raised is the gift money, as well as the auction, not the private money of these people.

When Qiu Jin was in the back hall, the auction had already begun after the simple decoration of the wedding hall outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are ten treasures in this auction, all of which are of extraordinary value. The first is in the East China Sea two months ago. The bloody battle of General Cheng Biguang's saber ...... "The person who presided over the auction and the wedding was the same person, and his voice was loud. As soon as 'General Cheng Biguang's sword' came out, the audience was shocked. No matter what the outcome of the naval battle in the East China Sea will be. It's always our China that won, and it's all nonsense that the Japanese say about underwater sneak attacks, and from ancient times to the present, there will be no ambush in that battle. In addition, China's great victory in this war was really a matter of greatly boosting national morale, especially General Cheng Biguang's risking his life to lead a Japanese ship into an ambush site for submarines, which was greatly admired by the Chinese people.

"I'll give you a thousand!" A gentleman who had just finished giving a gift at the wedding shouted before the host finished speaking.

As soon as he shouted, someone immediately shouted: "I'll pay 2,000 yuan for ......" The auction of gold-making weapons began.

6. Dream Bear is a Shanghainese. In addition to the gentry, there are many industrialists, although these people understand that Qiu Jin's organization of the auction has nothing to do with the prime minister, but after all, they want to sell it to face, but their ultimate goal is to maintain the situation, the last two of the ten treasures are a manuscript of Yang Rui, that thing is valuable if it is valuable, and it is worthless if it is worthless. But in any case, the manuscript should not be too low; Another one is a pair of silver bracelets that the queen mother often wore before entering the palace, which is actually an ordinary thing, and I don't know how Qiu Jin got it. Like the Prime Minister's manuscript, the Queen's beloved things can't be taken too low. Otherwise, Long Yan will be furious today.

One after another, the first eight things were all photographed, and Yu Qiaqing saw that the last Zhang Taiyan's Mobao was shot for 1,300 yuan. I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, according to the previous market. Yang Rui's manuscript is auctioned for 3,000 yuan, and Niangniang's bracelet is auctioned for 9,000 yuan, and everything will be fine. I don't want Yang Rui's manuscript to be introduced. Zhu Zhiyao, the general office of Qiuxin Shipyard, shouted: "I will pay 10,000 yuan!" ”

Wow! The audience was shocked, this kind of sycophant was filmed like this, it was really ......

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhu learned the management science created by Prime Minister Zhu every day, and I deeply felt the mystery. Today, I would like to ask you to cut off your love for the manuscript of this Introduction to Management, so as to fulfill Zhu. Zhu Zhiyao's face was full of pride, and he smiled while making a four-way gesture. He came to run a shipyard, and there are only a few private shipyards in the country, and whether the business is good or not depends on the policies of the imperial court.

His attitude made Song Weichen, a Hankou tycoon who also ran a shipyard, shocked, and he relied on state support policies to eat, and Zhu Zhiyao contributed 10,000 yuan, and he must not be less. Ignoring the eyes of Yu Qiaqing next to him, he suddenly stood up and said: "Song is also studying management, and he has to recite it many times a day." It is said that there are many unpublished contents in the manuscript of this book, and Song has long wanted to invite him home to take a look. Master Zhu, I'm going to offend you. He said to Zhu Zhiyao gently, and then said to the host of the auction: "Song Mou paid 20,000 yuan!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the venue was silent, and everyone couldn't even make an uproar. Zhu Zhiyao wanted to fight again, but he knew that Ningbo businessmen were not good to offend, so he had to give up, after all, his words today would still reach the ears of the prime minister.

Yang Rui's manuscript was so valuable, Qiu Jin, who was watching from the side, was taken aback, and knew that he should have taken a few more manuscripts from Cheng Xianhan Xianfeng, but there is no regret medicine in the world. She was thinking about it, and the last treasure, when the silver bracelet of the queen of the dynasty began to be auctioned. This time the first cannon was Zhu Baosan, the leader of the Ningbo businessmen, he stood up and shook at the north, and then said loudly: "Niang Niang is the mother of a country, and now I pity the women who are suffering from the fate of the world, and I will hand over this beloved thing to Lord Qiu for auction. ”

It was 20,000 before, but now it is 30,000, and Qiu Jin, who had not eaten for a day, suddenly felt a little dizzy. Seeing that she couldn't support her, Evie Jun hurriedly helped her down to eat. It was only half an hour before I knew that the auction was over.

"Finally...... How much did you end up shooting? Qiu Jin leaned on the bed and asked weakly.

"Hehe......" Yi Weijun just laughed, and didn't say it directly, but said, "Guess." ”

"Guess?" Qiu Jin also smiled, "It's not 40,000 yuan." Yi Weijun shook her head, and she said again: "The difficulty is 50,000 yuan?" Yi Weijun still shook her head, and she suddenly shouted: "Is it 60,000 yuan!?" ”

Seeing that Qiu Jin was getting more and more excited, Yi Weijun, who knew that she was going to rest, said: "It's 99,999 yuan!" ”

"Ahh Qiu Jin's soft and powerful body heard that this was the number, and suddenly jumped up from the bed like a spring. "So much money! Who came out? ”

"Sister, it's not anyone's fault, no one can afford this money. This is Ningbo merchants, Cantonese merchants, Jin merchants, and Hui merchants. These merchant gangs are fighting. Our dynasty is to encourage industry and reward industry and commerce, but there is also a sequence of rewards. In order to gain a reputation, these merchants also gave up. Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine were those Jin merchants. After they were suppressed by the prime minister a few years ago, they were still afraid in their hearts, and now they can only curry favor with blood. Yi Weijun said the reason for the auction of silver bracelets, and he was very emotional.

"Those people...... Hum! "Hearing that it was a Jin merchant, Qiu Jin was immediately displeased, without those damn Jin merchants Manchu Qing is afraid that she will not be able to enter the pass, she supports the liquidation of these people, but for hundreds of years, things are wrong, and there is really no way to settle the old accounts of the year. Yang Rui asked the National Bank to control all the ticket numbers because he was afraid that they would be greedy for the property of the Manchu Qing government. And not a complete liquidation.

"Sister. The most important thing now is to run a good business so that we can rescue more sisters. Yi Weijun completely knows Qiu Jin's thoughts, and she doesn't like Jin Shang either, but she doesn't stretch out her hand to hit the smiling person, not to mention that the new dynasty governs the country according to law, and the affairs of the previous dynasty are not clear.

"Okay." After Qiu Jin was angry, he didn't pursue it, and asked at the moment: "How much money have you collected now?" ”

"The auction collected 134,399 yuan, and the financial gifts were also calculated, about 64,300 yuan. That's almost 200,000. In addition to the money to set up a hosiery factory. There's a lot more to be done. Evie said. By the way, Master Yu Qiaqing of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce said that he had something to ask to see......"

Qiu Jin, who was excited to collect 200,000 yuan, was no longer dizzy now, and when she heard that it was Yu Qiaqing, she asked curiously, "What is he doing here?" ”

"He said he could help turn the $200,000 into $600,000." Evie Jun laughed.

"This ...... How to change? Mo is not a mortgage? Qiu Jin said. That's not right. 200,000 is a maximum loan of 200,000. You tell him to wait in the living room, and I'll see him. ”

There was a scuffle in the auction hall, and in the end, the Jin merchants, who did not count the blood capital, took the lead. In particular, they came up with a price of 99,999, so that the people behind them didn't know how to increase the price if they wanted to. You can't get a ninety-ninety-thousand, right? At Zhu Baosan's suggestion, Yu Qiaqing came to make up for the shortcomings of the auction. in the living room. He looked at the heroic Qiu Jin and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, so he didn't sell it at the moment, but only said it very bluntly: "Lord Qiu wants to set up an industry to relieve the suffering woman, and we all admire it." It's a pity that the imperial court is now only focusing on machine building and the like, and there is really no money to set up a hosiery factory. Although the adults have raised a huge amount of money of 200,000 yuan, but to help the women of the world, these money is still a drop in the bucket, Yu has a plan today, that is, he wants to ask the adults to set up hosiery and other factories into joint-stock companies, and then list on the stock exchange, and the share capital will not take long to raise three or four hundred thousand ......."

It turned out to be listed. Qiu Jin thought in her heart. "Mr. Yu, the Women's Revival Association is not necessarily running a hosiery factory for profit, and it is even difficult to make money for sure. If it is taken to the public, I am afraid that no one will want to buy the stock. ”

"My lord, then make the hosiery factory profitable." Yu Qiaqing persuaded. "It's not a way for the Women's Revival Association to always rely on donations and auctions, but the best way is to be like the Tianzi brand back then, to be able to take care of its own profits and losses, and become bigger and bigger. And then take out some of the profits...... to improve the status of women, this is not contrary to the original intention. ”

There are many poor people in China, and if the government wants money to fund women's entrepreneurship, Yang Rui will not do it, at least in the past ten years, he has no money to do this. Before World War I, the foundation of military industry and heavy industry was laid, and the remaining funds were invested in industries that could be profitable in World War I, which was the direction of national investment in recent years. Because of this, the Women's Revival led by Qiu Jin can only raise its own funds to set up women's employment factories such as hosiery factories. The wedding bride price money is to raise money, the auction is to raise money, and the women in the Qinglou who redeem themselves are also to raise money to buy stocks, but most of the use of this money is non-profit, after all, the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not have the right to run a factory, and the Women's Revival Association is only a community, and they don't know how to do business. Now that Yu Qiaqing is using this money to start a business like Tianzihao, Qiu Jin suddenly feels that he can't do it.

Seeing that Qiu Jin's face was embarrassed, Yu Qiaqing persuaded again: "Lord Qiu, not to mention the 6 navy, there are more than a few million tax police, patrol police, teachers, and students across the country, if you can sell socks to them, it is impossible for the hosiery factory to make no money." ”

"There is a procedure for government procurement. If the women's factory can't do good quality and low price, it can't do business. Qiu Jin immediately understood what Yu Qiaqing meant, and immediately knew that this road would not work. However, I still want to thank Mr. Yu for helping with ideas. "Then I served tea and sent it off.

Politics and business are two different things, Yu Qiaqing was a pity that Qiu Jin didn't know the difference, but thought that under Yang Rui's encouragement, the army has a special general logistics department, and the government also has a special general procurement office, and the rules are extremely strict. So he got up and said goodbye: "Lord Qiu is dedicated to the welfare of women, which is admirable, but if women want to get ahead, they still need to help themselves." To save all the women in the world, it is difficult to rely on one or two people. If the general procurement office of the imperial court cannot be accommodating, then it is necessary to find a way to turn the hosiery factory into a profitable factory. You must know that industry is industry, and relief is relief, but it must be completely separated! ”

Yu Qiaqing's persuasion made Qiu Jin ponder, her previous idea was to use the money to buy some flower tie machines and hosiery machines, in addition to running a hosiery factory, some of the machines she bought were sent to the branches of the Women's Revival Association in various places, so the money was actually not intended to be profitable, but if it was not profitable, it could not be expanded, and there would be fewer women to be relieved, but if it was intended to be profitable, then was this still doing good deeds?

When Qiu Jin was meditating on good deeds and industry, Yang Rui was on the train from Nanjing to Shanghai. He also has to take a look at the Shanghai Light Industrial Park, the Tongji University Hall, and the new Shanghai Clearing House established after the abolition of the two yuan and the change of yuan, and those Chinese and foreign businessmen in Shanghai are worried that the Sino-Japanese war will affect their business, so he should comfort and comfort them, and at least in the next few months, he will also express an attitude that the dispute can be resolved through peace talks, and try to push the responsibility for the war to Japan...... In the midst of all kinds of things, taking advantage of the gap on the road, he was listening to Li Zilong's report on the matter of 6 Mengxiong Qiujin.

"6 Generals' wedding, the bride price is said to have been more than 64,000 yuan, and the auction will receive 130,000 ......" Li Zilong took the instant telegram from Shanghai, and was surprised while reading.

"Why is there so much money?" Yang Rui was also surprised, he remembered whether Qiu Jin wanted 80,000 or 100,000 to buy a hosiery machine, saying that he wanted to buy thousands of flower tie machines and hosiery looms for the women's revival association women's employment or something. As soon as he heard it, he knew that the money couldn't come out, but he didn't expect her to get 200,000 yuan back and forth.

"This ......" Li Zilong felt that the 60,000 bride price was not easy to explain, but whether it was illegal or not was not for him to say, but for the inspectorate to see it, he had to focus on the 130,000 yuan in the auction, "Qiu Jin left Beijing and came to Shanghai to go to the palace to see the queen, it is estimated that it was a complaint, and the queen gave her a pair of silver bracelets that she carried. At the auction, several major merchants rushed to auction the pair of silver bracelets, and finally the Jin merchants offered 99,999 yuan, which pulled the money up at once. ”

"Those old vinegar jars, they are really willing to give up!" Hearing that Jin Shang spent 100,000 yuan to buy a pair of silver bracelets, Yang Rui was also taken aback. After all, Jin Shang is good at government investment, although it was suppressed the year before last, but the courage is still there. The hard-working Huizhou businessmen and the Zhejiang businessmen who are calculating are still difficult to compare with them.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Zilong said: "This money is estimated to be those ticket number contributors, although 100,000 yuan is more, but it is not much to share it." And also...... Prime Minister, you also took 20,000 yuan for your book manuscript, and the 20,000 yuan will be 120,000 yuan......"

The manuscript was given to Cheng Ying by Yang Rui before, Qiu Jin and her have always been good friends, and it is estimated that she also complained about saving the hard-working women in the world or something, and deceived the manuscript. Yang Rui felt a little unhappy when he thought of this, why didn't he say it to Cheng Ying now, but the time in Shanghai was beautiful, but he didn't expect one of the beautiful witnesses to be auctioned.

Yang Rui didn't speak, but Li Zilong was not good at saying anything, and when he was thinking about whether he was going out, Yang Rui suddenly asked, "What is that guy Qiu Jin going to do with the 200,000 yuan?" Do you really buy any tie-flower machine and hosiery machine? ”

"It should be!" Li Zilong said. Before that, she kept sending people to major commercial houses in Shanghai to inquire about prices, saying that she wanted to buy thousands of flower tie machines and hosiery machines. Now that I have the money, I have to buy it. (To be continued!)
