77. Echoing Each Other (3)
His eldest son was furious by what Feng Zicai said, "The second brother was seriously injured and went back to rest, I am only happier than Daddy, my son thought that he would follow Daddy to fight to the death here, but I didn't expect Daddy to doubt me so much," he gasped, "I'm going to prepare for war, as long as I'm alive, I will never allow the French to attack Lang Son City!" β
He stomped his feet and left, and Feng Zicai nodded with satisfaction, "This is like words!" He also instructed the soldiers, "Put on Lao Tzu's battle robe, I won't believe it, I'll watch you from the city wall, I can't, the army can't stop this Frenchman!" β
Hu Xueyan looked at the news in the newspaper, nodded, and shook his head again, "But I don't know if Feng Zicai, a veteran, can stop the French." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"As the old saying goes, a veteran must not be wrong when he goes out with one top-notch move," said the steward's accompaniment, "and besides, the new army is about to reach the south, and even if it is temporarily defeated, it will not matter." β
"You don't understand this," Hu Xueyan shook his head and lit the steward with his pipe, "The DPRK and China have just changed military aircraft, and at this juncture, if Zhennan Pass is lost and the French come to the country, where will the face of the big guys in the DPRK and China, including the Queen Mother Lafayette, go?" So even if you exchange your life, you must not let the French fight in Guangxi, which is also related to the future of the boss, the boss is the commander of the army, the credit of the year to the present, there is still some effect, others will be guilty of defeat, if he loses a few games, there will never be any bad end, I am afraid that there will be no blame, but if there is no foreigner in the hands of the old man for more than 20 years, this is by no means a good thing, this is a huge turmoil, the West Sage is naturally right, Then the Military Aircraft Department and the boss must be responsible, so," Hu Xueyan still has a political vision, "no one is happy to see the fall of Zhennan Pass, besides, no matter how fierce the fight is now, it will always have to negotiate with the French in the future, if the French beat to Guangxi, the chips in his hand are lost, how can he negotiate with the foreigners?" β
"This place in Vietnam, I don't expect anything else, coal and iron mines, I am now grabbing with the Foshan Guild, I can't grab it, but the land there is excellent, if you can take it in the future, silkworm breeding or rubber planting are excellent, this is not said to be so far away, but just with the French people in the silk business, they can fight the French some, I am naturally much more relaxed here, at least my heart is happy, helping the boss is to help myself, this business is not a loss. The most rare thing to do business is reputation, I donated so much silver to the front line, and helped with the military quartermaster, how the character is, there is no doubt about it, this is the business of the ticket number, it is also helped, the business of the ticket number is good, a steady stream of silver comes in, and there is no fear of any problems with silk. β
The housekeeper told another thing, "The Yang Bai case in Hangzhou has reached the Criminal Department, and the Governor's Mansion has been warning us not to interfere, otherwise we will have good fruits to eat." β
Hu Xueyan shook his head, "As long as I get on this ship, there is no advance or retreat, I didn't want to be an enemy with him, but it is just about the old man and the Nanyang Naval Division, since ancient times, there is no reason to be double-faced." So I can't do it, I have to deal with him, I just spent a little money to help with the relationship, these two people are pitiful, locked in prison, not dead or alive, can help a hand, in the end, my home is in Hangzhou, Li Hefei? Don't pay attention to him, no one is scared," Hu Xueyan sneered slightly, "I think he is covering the sky with one hand in Zhejiang and Fujian, thinking that he has the final say on everything, I just don't, send the silver to Beijing, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must be in place one by one, I am spending money to do good deeds, helpful, selfless, those old men can not only take the silver, but also promote righteousness, must be very happy." What's the matter, does he Li Hefei still come to find my stubble? He made me uncomfortable in Zhejiang, and I also gave him some eye medicine. β
After a while, the Shanghai governor's political experience also came, today is really a distinguished guest, but I don't know whether it is a magpie to announce the good news, or a crow to mourn, experienced and Hu Xueyan said a bad news, "This year, Shanghai's tax money will be deported into Beijing by Shanghai itself, and it will no longer go through the ticket number." β
Hu Xueyan chuckled in his heart, and said with a smile, "Over the years, I have been carrying our Fukang ticket number to Beijing, and I thought in my heart that there has never been a shortage of filial piety, why do you have to change the method again this year?" β
"But I don't know this," the experience grimaced, "Lord Futai's life, I don't want to ask the reason, besides," he also took out a deposit ticket from his sleeve, "This is Lord Futai's personal silver, let's bring it up today." β
This silver is nothing more than a trivial matter, it can be raised in a moment, but the direction of the wind here is indeed a little wrong, Shanghai deportes the tax into Beijing a year is enough to 10 million taels of silver, this silver, even Hu Xueyan has to pay a huge amount of fire expenses to Shanghai every year, but with this 10 million taels of silver pressure box, there is no fear of any wind and waves, in addition, the Shanghai governor's private deposit has also been withdrawn, this silver is not much, but it shows that the governor yamen no longer supports himself.
Hu Xueyan felt as if there was an invisible noose tightly bound towards him, his neckline became very tight, and the originally cold weather, in his opinion, seemed to be the scorching sun, "What's the matter?" He instructed some of his stewards, "Tell someone to inquire at once!" β
The withdrawal of the political envoy is quite normal, but with the actions of the governor's yamen, the combination of the two really makes people think more about it, and after a while, the treasury manager outside came in with the account book and said, "The silver paid to the big households in the past few days is thirty percent more than last month!" There are also quite a few that have been scheduled to be brought in a few days."
Hu Xueyan couldn't help frowning, "Who are those people?" β
"They are all people with heads and faces, not to mention the prefect and the Taoist platform, as well as the merchant steamship!"
"Okay," knowing this, needless to say, Hu Xueyan naturally knew who was doing it, he raised his eyebrows, and said angrily but not carelessly, "This Governor Li, I'm going to sing a good play with me." β
As soon as the words fell, another steward rushed in, "The owner, the silk warehouse of Hangzhou Renhe has been sealed by the chief inspector of Zhejiang and Fujian!" β
"Seizure?" Hu Xueyan stood up, "Why?" β
"It is said that it involves a trade with the French, and now that there is a war with France, silk is not allowed to be exported!"
"Ridiculous!" Hu Xueyan was furious and threw his beloved pipe on the ground, "I think this Li Hongzhang wants to let the silk export!" β
