Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Trade Route, the Wealth Route

After dealing with each other in the past few days, Shanqi has an understanding of Zhang Tinglan's status through observing words and feelings, this is not a simple warlord cub, Zhang Tinglan has emerged in the 27th Division, and his status is improving day by day, Zhang Zuolin is even more obedient to him, and Shanqi also knows that he is in prison this time because of Zhang Tinglan.

As soon as he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, Shanqi's heart couldn't stop contracting violently, and his old face suddenly turned red.

Shanqi can leave a name in modern history, largely because he has a famous daughter, that is, the famous "men's beauty" Kawashima Yoshiko, this woman is also inextricably linked with the Huanggutun incident, Zhang Tinglan originally wanted to sweep away the troubles in one fell swoop and kill Kawashima Yoshiko in advance, but this girl was still in Dalian and escaped a catastrophe.

"Shanqi, I heard that you have sent many of your sons and daughters to foreign countries, some to the West, some to the East, in short, not in China, and gave your fourteen daughters to Kawashima Naniwa as adopted daughters, in a vain attempt to restore the Manchu Qing with the help of the Japanese starvation, do you think this big dream can still be done?"

"After doing his best and dying, the old generation has received the grace of the master, and he should fight for his life to restore the unification of the country, even if it is an unfortunate failure, the old man can go down in history, and he can also glorify his ancestors as a Wen Tianxiang."

"Shanqi, have you thought about it, even if you succeed in recovering the country, isn't your master still a puppet of the Japanese, don't you know what the situation of the king of Korea is, the Japanese are just a wolf, you deal with wolves, you are not afraid of being eaten? In addition, the Manchu Qing should also be content, when the Ming Dynasty fell, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in the coal mountain, how many imperial relatives and nobles of the Ming Dynasty died, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty died, up to the emperor, down to the children of the Eight Banners a few died, and now there are four million yuan of support every year, what else do you want? ”

"That's Yuan Shikai, a dog slave, who feels guilty, he betrays the master and steals the country, deceives the king, and doesn't think about the kindness of the master at all, he deserves death, if he plots to kill the master again, no one in the world will agree!" The more Shanqi spoke, the more excited he became, and the fat flesh on his face trembled uncontrollably, as if he was possessed by his ancestors.

Zhang Tinglan also saw through that people like Shanqi had become deluded, and there was no possibility of change, and he no longer said these useless things: "Shanqi, to tell you the truth, Beijing has sent a telegram, hoping to hand over the case of the Zongshe Party to the Central Committee as soon as possible, and the president will personally appoint someone to interrogate him." ”

"Then you don't want to send me away quickly!" Shanqi has been thinking about how to survive these days, and it seems that only when he arrives in Beijing can he have a glimmer of life, and if he falls into the hands of these bandits in Fengtian, there will be absolutely no good end.

Zhang Tinglan looked at the excited Shanqi and smiled slightly: "Shanqi, I understand your thoughts, as long as you go to Beijing, the Japanese will come out, the old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will come out, and the old bureaucrats in the Beiyang government will also come out, and you, the former Qing Dynasty prince Su, will be able to save your life." But let me tell you, don't fight this wishful thinking, you are plotting treason, the crime cannot be punished, whether you can go from Fengtian to Beijing safely, it's all in my thoughts, I will give you a chance now, if you honestly hand over all your property, and do as I say, I will keep your dog's head, if not, you will wait for death! ”

Zhang Tinglan was no longer willing to say more to Shanqi, as soon as he waved his hand, several people walked in carrying the sack, Su Liangzhen asked people to put the sack beside Shanqi, he said with a smile: "Lord Su, you must not know how to use this thing, I will introduce it to you, you lie flat on the bed, we press the sack on your chest, you exhale, we will add a sack, with your body, it is estimated that you will bear three or two sacks, and then you will suffocate to death." In fact, this kind of death is similar to people being entangled by a giant python, if you die, we will say to the outside world that Prince Su died of grief and anger because of the hopelessness of recovering the country, what do you think? ”

Su Liangzhen was still smiling, but these words sounded like a poisonous dagger to Shanqi, piercing his heart, and he could still be righteous and strict in the face of others, but in the face of these beards, he really had no choice.

"Don't send Prince Su to heaven yet!" Su Liangzhen still hesitated when she saw Shanqi, and immediately shouted, and the assistant on the side was about to press Shanqi on the bed.

At this time, Shanqi was finally scared, and he hurriedly shouted, "I promise your conditions!" ”

In the face of death, Shanqi finally surrendered, and he handed over all the real estate in his name, and also confessed the secret deposits in the bank. Sheng Yun's bones are not yet good, and he quickly confessed, and took out more than 800,000 oceans of assets from these two people, as well as more than 20 properties and 15 shops.

In addition, Zhang Tinglan asked them to implicate several Manchu nobles who did not join the Zongshe Party, these people were the old and young Manchu widows who owned real estate near the North Market, and with Shanqi's confession, Zhang Tinglan launched a search for them. Although it is against Zhang Tinglan's heart to frame others with such despicable means, these guys' family property is not based on the right path, it is all people's fat and people's anointing, and they deserve to confiscate it.

After some searching, Zhang Tinglan obtained a large piece of land and got 1.3 million cash, of course, according to the agreement, this money must be handed over to Lao Zhang, and only the real estate belongs to Zhang Tinglan. However, this did not bother Zhang Tinglan, he gave Lao Zhang an idea, that is, to deposit the money in Daosheng Bank first.

From this search operation, Zhang Zuolin got a total of more than 2.6 million oceans in cash, as well as a large amount of opium, it can be said that he is suddenly rich, but so much money Lao Zhang can't spend it all at once, and it has become a natural way to put it in the bank to earn interest.

However, what is the relationship between Fred and Zhang Tinglan, everyone knows that as soon as Lao Zhang's money was deposited in the bank, it was loaned out by Zhang Tinglan to buy land and prepare for the construction of the North Market. This is a normal manipulation, but Zhang Zuolin is a little depressed, his feelings have been in vain, this money still fell into Zhang Tinglan's hands, but it was just a makeover, Lao Zhang shouted that he was fooled!

Although he jumped into Zhang Tinglan's trap, Lao Zhang was still very happy, the evidence of the Zongshe Party's case was very sufficient, and after arresting a group of people in a row, he reported the situation to Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Jinkai was responsible for drafting the telegram, in which Yuan Jinkai greatly exaggerated the harm of the Zongshe Party, and highlighted Lao Zhang's wisdom and martial arts.

He also wrote that this operation captured the two major leaders of the Zongshe Party in one fell swoop, with more than 100 main members, and eliminated a major hidden danger to the safety of Fengtian, and Zhang Zuolin was a great achievement. As soon as the telegram was sent, Yuan Jinkai found a number of reporters and showed them the seized dragon robe official seal and other evidence, so as to prove the plot of the Zongshe Party.

The mission of the reporter is to find news all over the world, and the remnants of the previous dynasty tried to rebel, which is definitely a hot news, and soon all major newspapers published the news with front page headlines, and Zhang Zuolin, who cracked the case, also became a well-known figure, and many newspapers also praised Lao Zhang's decisive action.

Mr. Zhang is also pushing for a lot of media hype behind the scenes, both to advertise the Feng army as a credible force that is serious about local security, and to put pressure on Beijing to face up to the problem. Since the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, some of the old and young have been thieves and have been engaged in large-scale activities, which have a serious impact on the security of the country, but the Beiyang government has been very slow on this issue, and Zhang Tinglan has to use the media's liliang to put pressure on them.

When he was busy, his old friend Fred invited Zhang Tinglan to talk about it again, and he immediately came to his senses, as he cooperated more and more closely with Fred, he reaped more and more benefits, and he knew very well that he was afraid that there would be good news this time.

After Zhang Tinglan arrived at Daosheng Bank, Fred was already waiting for him outside the reception room, and when he saw Zhang Tinglan coming, Fred's face bloomed with joy: "Zhang, I know that you have been very busy recently, and I wanted to come to you in person, but I have a large number of accounts here, and it is inconvenient to carry them, so I still invited you to come." ”

"Mr. Fred, I have always believed in your character, you just need to have a summary of the data, and I don't have that much time to read it little by little."

Fred hurriedly shook his head: "Zhang, I want to criticize your idea, you must be rigorous enough to do business, carefully check all the accounts, even if you can't do it yourself, you must arrange trustworthy people, after all, our business is getting bigger and bigger, and the harvest is getting more and more, you can't be negligent." Speaking of the word harvest, Fred's eyes flashed with excitement.

After the two of them sat down, Fred said to Zhang Tinglan with a smile: "Zhang, all the five wagons of materials last time have been sold, do you know how much we earned?" ”

Zhang Tinglan knew that there would be no shortage of money as soon as he saw Fred, these Jews were not as reserved as Chinese businessmen, but they thought that the more they earned, the more worthy of boasting, this was their ability.

"Don't play dumb riddles with me, just tell me if there's any good news."

"Zhang, we made a full 700,000 yuan, but 200,000 yuan fell into the pockets of those greedy Russian nobles, but we still got 500,000 yuan."

Zhang Tinglan was also stunned by this number, he worked hard to squeeze Shanqi and Shengyun dry, and raided a lot of Manchu nobles' homes, only to get less than three million in cash, and a few wagons to get a profit of 500,000 yuan, this money is too easy.

"Zhang, don't be surprised, due to the war, the Russian nobles are hungry for luxury, and the most haode red fox fur coat we brought was frantically scrambled by those noblewomen, and Zuihou was sold for 150,000 yuan. Ordinary sorghum wine is less than two cents a catty, and after it is transported to Russia, it can be sold for five cents when mixed with half of the water, and the more advanced spirits are all one dollar a catty, and they are still in short supply. ”

Zhang Tinglan also heard that his eyes were straight, and the profits of four or five times would definitely make everyone crazy, no wonder they all paid attention to making war money, once the war started, there would be mountains of gold and silver everywhere.

Fred looked at Zhang Tinglan, who was a little excited, and said triumphantly: "Zhang, this is just the beginning, our opportunity to expand our business has come again, it depends on whether you can provide enough luxuries." ”
