The news that the British wanted to talk about peace made Wang Xiaoxu a little surprised, after all, public opinion has not been fully spread, Zhang Yuan's side has not reached the weekend, and the citizens and students have not fully moved, of course, as a local person, he has not yet set his eyes on the situation in Europe, and he is not clear about the consistent expression of visiting Baron Geerz from Beijing, he just feels that the reaction of the concession authorities this time does not seem to be right, after a while, Yu Ziyi knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, the patrol room over there of Siming Mansion has sent someone to conduct an autopsy." ”

"Went to the autopsy? When? ”

"Just now, the insider said that there were more than a dozen of them, and there were two doctors." Yu Ziyi also just received Hotline, and in order to prevent eavesdropping, the people inside spoke in code.

"Oh. I really went. Wang Xiaoxu felt that the situation was in line with his expectations, but it was different. Is tomorrow the day of the earth? ”

"Yes, sir, tomorrow is Tuyao Day, all schools will not have classes in the afternoon, the students are going to be connected everywhere, originally mentioned that the assembly should be held on the day, but everyone is anxious, and it feels better to be a day earlier." Yu Ziyi has been helping to collect detailed information from all over the place, and the situation of the students has always been the focus of attention.

"They're still in such a hurry. Tomorrow you bring some people to see it, but watch out. Wang Xiaoxu commanded. Oh yes, and it's time for the newspapers to have a negative point of view, so let's let them start tomorrow. ”

It is impossible to hype up public opinion blindly to promote one's own point of view, always to erect a few targets to debate, and then make everyone attracted by this kind of argument, and then, constantly back and forth, things are pushed by public opinion on both sides, until the truth is finally revealed, and the opposing readers understand that they are wrong. According to this principle, on the second day, a newspaper refuted the groundless speculation that Zou Rong had been poisoned, holding that the Ministry of Industry would never use such a despicable means as poisoning. At the same time, the newspaper also solemnly announced that the patrol house had sent someone to conduct an autopsy, and the results would be available the next day......

Originally, it should be a very fortunate thing to have a Chinese-language newspaper that stood on the position of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, but now Pu Lande's back was full of cold sweat, and he felt for the first time that he was estimated to be the general office for the first time, because this time the matter was complicated Cheng Dù was completely beyond his imagination. Before, because of optimism, he told the Consul General, Sir Huo Bilan, that it was too easy. Do you really have to go back to that cubicle at customs to make a report? He didn't want to, he had been suffering at customs for two years to get to this position, and he couldn't go back!

"He's in the patrol room right now? Do you need to see him? Ailes, the catcher next to him, said that he was talking about the doctor involved in the case.

"Nope! Damn, what am I going to see him for?! Pu Lande said angrily, "Let him go back." But first take care of his own mouth. ”

"Yes. Mr. "Ayers.

Knock on Mr. Dong's door again. Pu Lander waited for the people in his room to walk away before he said, "Mr. Dong, things are worse than imagined, Dr. Niedernhofer has already confessed in the patrol room. Pu Lande didn't know how to go on when he said this, he thought he was innocent before, but after seeing the test results. After inviting Nednhofer to the patrol room, the result of questioning was very unexpected.

"Really?" Andersen stood up in shock, he couldn't believe that a doctor who had made the Hippocratic oath had done such a thing, and shook it twice, Andersen froze and asked, "John." Why would he do this? He doesn't have any hatred for those Qing people? ”

"Yes. But Niedernhofer needed money too much, and he had two mistresses. What's more, he bet too much on Marseille last autumn and lost a lot of money, and if he couldn't get any more money, he would go bankrupt. Then the Qing people found him and told him that if he poisoned the revolutionary, he could give him 20,000 pounds. Pu Lande said, he felt that it was really unlucky to be a good doctor. Now even he is going to be unlucky.

"God will punish him. John, we should not care about this matter anymore and let this man who has been tempted by the devil go to hell. Hans Christian Andersen said. It's just that after he finished speaking, Pu Lande didn't respond at all, and he seemed to have thought of a solution. "Sir, we can not bother with the matter of Niedernhofer, but this is a dishonorable thing for the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and I think it should be feasible to find the Shanghai Daoist and let him come forward to solve this matter. He sent the man who bought Niedernhofer. ”

"What do you mean to find Yuan?"

"Yes. The victim is Chinese, and it is the Qing government that caused the whole thing, I think they will have a way to solve it. Pu Lande is not very sure, but, according to his understanding of the Qing government, the Daotai Yuan in Shanghai should be able to handle the whole thing, even if it is not handled well, it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry Bureau, not to mention that the Qing people who wooed this poor doctor are likely to be sent by the Daotai Yuan in Shanghai.

When Pu Lande was looking for Yuan Shuxun from Shanghai, the people in the yamen heard that the platform was not there, so they had to leave a message and go back. As soon as he went back, the porter saw that there were no foreigners outside, so he ran back to the inner hall and knelt down in front of a man in civilian clothes, "My lord, the foreigner has left." However, when he left, he said that he would come back next week, as if he was in a hurry. ”

"Hmph. What urgent matter can the foreigners have, it is nothing more than that the Jiangnan Dockyard is about to be sold to Chinese businessmen. Daotai Lord Yuan Shuxun said with a righteous face, since last year when the Ningbo Business Gang hit the idea of the Jiangnan Bureau and sent Zhu Baosan to talk about this matter, he was determined to help Zhu Baosan. Back then, he was just a small master of the county government in Shanghai, and when he was coldly treated, only Zhu Baosan never belittled him and treated him sincerely. In the year of Gengzi, he was transferred to the Shanghai Taoist platform several times, and it was also this Zhu Baosan who sent his most powerful general account room, Gu Qingchuan, to help, so that he could make no mistake between public and private, that is, he ran errands and made money. Now, if a friend has something, why don't you want to help, let alone ......

Yuan Shuxun hadn't finished thinking about it, and the subordinate next to him said, "My lord, the sedan chair is ready." Do you want to go out now? ”

"Hmm...... Kindness. Let's go. Yuan Shuxun looked at the hour, and then got on a small sedan chair, there is a big event tonight, so it can't be delayed.

When Yuan Shuxun's sedan chair walked into the concession, Yu Huizu was in the study, looking at some pictures given by Wang Xiaoxu. The picture is a strange machine, the machine is more than a person tall, the upper body is like a mailbox, and the lower body has a crankshaft and a big wheel, although he is the shopkeeper of the scientific instrument tube, but he still doesn't know much about the latest Western machine, he finished reading this strange machine. Look at the next one again, this one is not an unusual thing, but a boat, next to the photo is written with a Western pen: The oil tanker Armat has a displacement of 115o tons and a deadweight of 75o tons. Two 18o horsepower diesel engines are used, and the aircraft is 8.6 knots. Manufactured in 19o4. Further down is another steamer......

After reading all the information, Yu Huizu said: "I'm old, and I can't understand the things of foreigners." However, Xiao Xu, I know the foreign car, that thing is small. You use this thing to push, but what we want to build is a boat, and that thing is not small, are you such a machine to push? ”

"Hanzhang, you're too worried. Now the picture for you is to tell you that you have the best things to use on the ship. It's just that this thing is too new, and the boiler factory used to build steam ships, so it was rarely man-made. Wang Xiaoxu still had doubts about this kind of machine at first, but after calculating the power. He is still very relieved about the performance of the machine, but Yu Huizu is not too familiar with this, he just saw that the foreigner's car is useful for this, so he thinks that the machine that can push the car may not be able to push the boat, and if the number is invalid, he can only use the picture to say.

"But if you can push the boat, this thing has just come out. There must be a lot of problems, if it can't be used on the ship, then everyone will have to return the ship, and then let's talk about it. Although this is said not to use coal, but the oil is not cheap, now the Ye family's batch of oil is two yuan per pair, a pair of twenty gallons and sixty catties, accounting for four cents a catty, eighty yuan a ton, this coal is twenty times more expensive. You just said that you only need two tons of oil a day to use this machine, and the same ship costs eleven tons of coal......" Yu Huizu began to calculate the detailed accounts again, and Wang Xiaoxu only shook his head when he heard it.

After Yu Huizu finished calculating, he said: "Hanzhang, this thing came out more than ten years ago, and the kind used in foreign cars has been for thirty-four years, and now the diesel engine we are talking about is just a variant of the car on the machine, and the technology is very mature for decades, but there are immature places, and Mr. Hua Feng has also solved it in Germany." The current situation is that except for the steel used in it, we can't make it for the time being, and everything else is fine. Even if there is a problem, it is only made to be bigger than the foreigners, but this thing is loaded on the ship, and the bigger one is not in the way. ”

Hearing Wang Xiaoxu talk about this thing for decades, Yu Huizu seemed to have some convincing, but he still asked: "But the price difference between this burning oil is too outrageous, the same boat will cost one hundred and twenty yuan more than a steam ship." ”

"This thing doesn't burn oil." Wang Xiaoxu emphasized.

"What do you burn without burning oil?"

"Diesel."

"Diesel?"

"Yes. Diesel fuel. Wang Xiaoxu emphasized: "Brother Zhang, the diesel engine burns diesel, not oil." Diesel is the waste oil left over from the refinery, which no one wants, and is generally dumped. If you really buy it, it won't cost you ten yuan a ton. ”

Hearing Wang Xiaoxu say that this thing only costs ten yuan a ton of oil, Yu Huizu was very surprised, "Is it really so cheap?" ”

"It's really so cheap, isn't the Ye family in the fire oil business now, you can go back and inquire." Wang Xiaoxu said unhurriedly, he knew that it was a bit difficult for a person to suddenly accept this, in the eyes of ordinary people, the steam engine has been difficult to understand, and now there is a diesel engine, which is even more amazing.

"Does it mean that he will build this kind of diesel engine ship after the Jiangnan dock is down?"

"Yes, he meant that, but now steamships are still mainstream, so both ships are built. However, the focus is still to build more diesel ships, and the diesel fuel is also currying favor with the United States, and they will pull over as much as they want, and they are afraid that no one will want this thing. At the beginning of a boatload they gave to us in vain. Wang Xiaoxu said.

"Given away for nothing? This foreigner ......"

"Foreigners are not stupid, they will raise the price when we use it well, but this thing is rarely used, and the price increase cannot be raised, ten yuan is expensive, it really counts, one dollar a ton of crude oil, except for the hot oil and gasoline that make money, this diesel is pulled to Shanghai, and five dollars is expensive." Wang Xiaoxu said that he won't talk about it here, and he still has something else in his heart, speculating in national bonds in London. It was speculated with Chase Bank under Standard Oil, otherwise it would not be possible to take it away if it was unfamiliar with life in the UK, even if there was information to make money. Yang Rui used the radio to pull the line of the Americans, and used this line as a protective umbrella in London, so that he could do something unexpected.

"Oh. I was afraid that I would lose money when I took over. I didn't think that I could make money with this thing," Yu Huizu listened to Wang Xiaoxu's words, and was very excited. He said, "Let's go, let's go to Mr. Zhu's house with me." Today I happened to make an appointment to talk about Jiangnan. ”

"Mr. Zhu?" Wang Xiaoxu was stunned and understood, it is estimated that only Zhu Baosan can make Yu Huizu, who is so angry now, shout Mr. He suddenly thought of something else, and said, "Okay." I'll check it out too. ”

Zhu Baosan is also a native of Ningbo, Zhenhai, at the age of 14, he went to Shanghai hardware store as an apprentice, and worked hard to build a family business from scratch. There are two nobles in his life, one is Ye Chengxin, who is also from Ningbo, and the other is Yuan Shuxun, the Taoist platform in Shanghai, the former makes him Shenyu hardware store to a higher level, and the latter allows him to grasp the right to transfer accounts before the payment of Gengzi indemnity - Gengzi indemnity is paid by Shanghai to various countries, and the indemnity of all provinces is collected in Shanghai, and there are often two million taels of indemnity from each province and six million tariffs from Shanghai Shangjiang Customs in the account before payment. The 8 million taels can be lent to major banks in Shanghai before being swept away, and the interest is huge.

Came to the Shenyu hardware store on Sima Road, where Yuan Shuxun had not yet arrived, Yu Huizu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted Zhu Baosan, and Wang Xiaoxu had already seen it when he negotiated with the inner door the year before last, so don't introduce it. Everyone sat down, and Yu Huizu hurriedly asked, "Senior." This Lord Yuan doesn't seem to have arrived? ”

Zhu Baosan looked at him and didn't speak, just took a sip of tea. Yu Huizu knew that he had always been very good, and he didn't dare to ask again, as long as he waited, after a long time, he only heard Zhu Baosandao: "Hanzhang." You get it here and there, and you offend individuals here. What are the people who are offended there doing in this business? ”

Yu Huizu's heart jumped when he heard this, and he defended: "Hey, I can't help it." That foreigner is too much of a bully. Just know how to talk and talk about peace. ”

Hearing Yu Huizu's words, Zhu Baosan smiled, "Hanzhang, you, you don't look like a businessman at all, I really don't know how you made your name this day." Hey, young people are angry, but don't forget to make money by being angry. Your Tiantong company sells goods on both sides of the river, and the farthest Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi and Gansu have semicolons, and the things are good and cheap, and you are afraid that you can't sell Xiangmao? ”

"But I just want to get angry." Yu Huizu still really has a grudge against Xiangmao, and he has high hopes for soap.

"Is it important to be angry or to make money? Knowing that wow, behind Yezon is Xiangmao's people who are helping them to accommodate their relationship, and they found a British consul, but fortunately, the leader of the consular corps in Shanghai is a German consul, and they didn't pay attention to them, otherwise, as soon as the note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing was delivered, you would not be able to buy the Jiangnan Bureau. Although Zhu Baosan is only well-connected in the money industry, he is still very clear about what is going on in Shanghai.

"Huh? Are they going to Beijing? Yu Huizu was a little dumbfounded, he thought that the matter would be settled by the Governor of Liangjiang and the Shanghai Daotai, although he knew that the foreigners would interfere so much.

"It's not over yet, but I'm afraid of it. As long as you get to Beijing, things are not so easy to handle. Even if you can buy a silver tael to be dotted, there are not a few, you have to know that this Jiangnan Bureau is extremely important to you, and for the Manchurians, isn't it a waste dock, it has been abandoned for decades, and you are afraid that it will be abandoned for another few decades? . Zhu Baosan looked at Yu Huizu's interest obviously, knowing that he had listened to what he said, that is, he didn't say it in the middle of the matter, "Later, Lord Yuan is here, what do you have to say to him, it is best to let him also go to Beijing, saying that this Jiangnan Bureau is indeed a shipbuilding and repairing ship, and it has been abandoned for a long time, even so, it is better to sell it to Chinese businessmen, this is one thing, and then there is the dock, steel mill, machine, workshop, etc., when the discount is estimated to be on the side of Lord Yuan, you have a good relationship with him now, It's easy to get through in the future, more than 100,000 taels and less 100,000 taels is not a sentence from Lord Yuan. ”

Hearing that Zhu Baosan no longer asked, Yu Huizu breathed a sigh of relief, and later heard him say that Lord Yuan, especially when he talked about more than 100,000 taels and less than 100,000 taels, his face was smiling, at first he didn't want to get his hands on the Jiangnan Bureau so much, but now the more he gets it, the more he wants to take it down as soon as possible, and then install the diesel engine that Xiao Xu just said, and kill those British devils.

"The seniors taught us. I've written it all down. Yu Huizu said honestly.

Zhu Baosan asked again, "Have you been there for Lord Lu and Master Sheng?" ”

"Master Sheng has been going, Lord Lu is just filial piety on the New Year's Day, and the other ......"

"You have to go. Although Lord Lu is an official Zhou Zheng, it is still necessary to take care of it. Don't be careless. You don't know how many people in Shanghai are staring at the Jiangnan Bureau now. Zhu Baosan admonished, the more he looked at Yu Huizu, the more angry he became, and he felt that it was really good that his fellow villagers could make money in Shanghai, but they were actually lucky. In fact, Zhu Baosan felt right, Yu Huizu was not able to do it by himself, but a team formed by Yang Rui to run the entire company, and the daily affairs were managed by this management team, and although the heavy affairs would also be reported to Yu Huizu, in fact, it was Yang Rui who made the move, Zhong Guanguan, Xu Huafeng, etc. persuaded him to do it, Yu Huizu is easy to talk to, and he is generally obedient.
