Emperor Guangxu thought for a while and said: "Listening to you say this, foreigners are indeed not a good thing, and we really can't trust them!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I heard that the Daqing Bank is about to be established with nearly 30% of the shares of the foreigner bank, how can this work? I hope you will make a decision sooner! ”

Emperor Guangxu frowned and said, "But these are all your words, how can I listen to and believe it!" ”

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and put the large stack of documents in front of Guangxudi, and said with a smile: "These are all evidence, you can take it back and see it for yourself." ”

Emperor Guangxu hesitated, stretched out his hand to push the document, and said: "I don't have to read it, it's not my race, its heart must be different, it turns out that foreign devils really harbor evil intentions, I still wonder, why are they so kind and help us!" I'll go back tomorrow and make an order to let those foreign experts get out!" ”

Lin Yuan listened to it and thought: "The power of foreigners in China's banks is completely finished this time!" Lin Yuan was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw Emperor Guangxu's face sank, and his hand slapped heavily on the stack of documents, Lin Yuan was shocked: "Could it be that things have changed?" At this time, I only heard Emperor Guangxu roar angrily: "Lin Yuan, you are really good, I was stunned by what you said, and I almost forgot what I came for!" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The Holy Lord heard that Weichen was seriously ill, and he was very concerned, so he came." ”

Emperor Guangxu said angrily: "Nonsense! You are not sick and pretending to be sick, I am here to cure your sin of deception! ”

Lin Yuan didn't have a trace of fear, and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, please calm your anger, I'm doing this for your own good, and you still don't appreciate it." ”

Emperor Guangxu asked angrily, "For my good?" Tell me, how are you doing it for my good? ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Today you want me to enter the palace, I know that I must have said that I arrested a few foreigner experts, if I enter the palace, what I said just now, everyone will definitely understand that the foreigner's bank harbors evil intentions, and intends to forget the Qing Dynasty!" But do you think, you also entertained the experts of the Foreigner Bank in the Imperial Garden before, and you still feasted them when they were not things, what would everyone say about you? ”

"But if I bring you to my house, the situation will be different, I will tell you the matter quietly, you go back and withdraw the shares of foreigners, and all the officials will not understand, so they have to ask: 'Why do you want to withdraw the shares of foreigners?' At this time, you can say how the foreigner bank is not a thing, and the officials will feel when they hear it: It turns out that you are extremely wise! So I pretended to be sick and invited you to my house, didn't it be for your own good? ”

Emperor Guangxu nodded, but then said angrily: "Don't leave yourself so clean, let me ask you, don't you just want to say that foreigner banks are not good things?" If you're worried about losing my face in front of everyone, just go up and say no? Why did you rush to Yuan Aiqing's house in broad daylight? ”

Lin Yuan frowned, and said helplessly: "I also want to take out a bad breath when I do this, you don't know what to do, Lord Yuan bullied me so hard!" ”

Emperor Guangxu sneered and said, "He bullied you? Why do I hear Yuan Aiqing's grievances every time? ”

Lin Yuan sighed heavily, wanting to squeeze out two tears, but he didn't work hard for a long time, so he could only say in a heavy tone: "You ordered to check my bank, and it was a good investigation in Beijing, but in Shanghai and other places, those people regarded our bank as a criminal, and took the soldiers to directly seal it up, and beat and arrested the people inside!" ”

Emperor Guangxu asked in surprise, "There is such a thing?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded exaggeratedly and said: "Yes, for example, in Shanghai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Xu Yingqi, had a good relationship with Lord Yuan, so he personally brought troops to my bank to check and ban, his soldiers were very arrogant, and our people were injured a lot......"

Emperor Guangxu didn't listen to it, and when he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "It's okay not to mention Xu Yingqi, since Xu Yingqi has been mentioned, Lin Yuan, I think of your big sin again!" After Emperor Guangxu finished speaking, he took out a telegram from his sleeve, threw it on the table, and said angrily: "Take a look for yourself." ”

Lin Yuan picked up the telegram and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "The Governor Xu Yingqi was ordered to investigate the Shanghai Branch of the Northeast People's Bank, but Lin Yuan actually led his troops to resist and kidnap the Governor. Signed: Yamen, Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. ”

When Emperor Guangxu saw that Lin Yuan had finished reading the telegram, he asked angrily, "Is what is written on it true?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's really true, but I arrested him all for self-protection!" ”

Emperor Guangxu said coldly: "Lin Yuan, you can always find a reason, let me see what else you can say?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Lord Xu's soldiers are really too arrogant, when they rushed in, two of our staff members went up to ask a few words and were knocked to the ground by them, and they were beaten by the butt of the gun, and one of his arms was broken, and Lord Xu's soldiers beat people when they saw people in the bank, and they wanted to bully the little girl, I had no choice but to make this decision." ”

Emperor Guangxu frowned, and said: "Impossible, I still know Xu Yingqi's soldiers, although I am a little arrogant, but the military discipline is still good!" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I don't care if his military discipline is good or not, anyway, Chen Fei and his people have ruined their military discipline!" So Lin Yuan took out a newspaper from the cabinet and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, please see, this is a newspaper run by a foreigner, which reads: The new soldiers of the Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion in Shanghai are even arrogant, and have repeatedly provoked unprovoked in restaurants and markets, causing heavy losses to merchants...... What do you think their military discipline is? ”

Emperor Guangxu thought for a long time, rushed out and shouted: "Someone." A eunuch walked in, and Emperor Guangxu said: "Pass my will, and prepare a telegram to Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, Xu Yingqi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Tan Zhonglin, the governor of Liangguang, telling them not to check the Northeast People's Bank again." ”

The eunuch promised to go out, and Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

Emperor Guangxu said: "Okay, okay, today's matter is over, your anger is also out, don't go to Yuan Aiqing's trouble, I will go back and let the foreigner's bank withdraw its shares, and the vacated shares will be filled by your Northeast People's Bank." ”

Lin Yuan agreed with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart: "Vacant shares? What I want is all the shares! Lin Yuan didn't say much, and sent Emperor Guangxu out. Outside, Xiaode Zhang Zhi and his ilk were extremely disappointed when they saw that Lin Yuan was not only not sick, but Emperor Guangxu had not punished him, and they were also wondering in their hearts.

As soon as Emperor Guangxu left, Shen Wanqing came, and as soon as Lin Yuan told her about the matter, she asked: "Since the foreigners' bank power has been cleared out of the city, what is the next step?" How do we turn our banks into central banks with the power to issue currency? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Didn't I say it? The key place is Sheng Xuanhuai, let's go to Sheng Xuanhuai. ”

Shen Wanqing hesitated and asked, "Am I going to go too?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Of course, you are a key step in my plan, so you have to follow me!" ”

Shen Wanqing asked blankly: "You must have met to discuss the bank, what can I do?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You are my tool to show off your wealth, can you not go?" ”
