"It's just that after the uprising was successful, these people forgot their responsibilities. If they went straight to Shudu to attack the Governor's Mansion, I would have nothing to say. At most, they would take my uncle and uncle out to protect them. But these people are ungrateful , Instead of attacking the governor’s residence, I chose to attack my industrial zone. I established the industrial zone for the sake of the country’s prosperity, and all the funds used were raised by myself. I’m afraid it won’t hinder your joint prosperity.”

It was true that Xiong Kewu did not do this properly at the beginning, but in front of a later Jin official, Wu Luzhen was unwilling to admit the mistakes of the Gongxinghui.He shook his head and said, "Your so-called self-raised funds are not just collecting people's fat and anointing, shouldn't they be divided?"

Zhao Shouhong heard it amused, and he asked: "Everywhere in your Gongxing Society, the White Eagle Country in the Western Continent and the New World advertises that the Republic is the first, so I ask you whether there are large factories in the Western Continent and the White Eagle Country. Aren't they looking for the people's fat and the people's anointing?" ?”

"What's the difference? They earned clean money through normal business activities, so it's the same as you collecting money for officials." Wu Luzhen said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "I have never asked for a penny from my family to build a factory. The money is all borrowed from foreign banks through my classmates. This kind of business activity is no different from that of other countries in the Western Continent, and there is nothing wrong with it. In and out. How can you conclude that my wealth is all obtained by looting just because someone in my family is an official? Besides, the big entrepreneurs in the Western Continent also use all means to attack their opponents. If they really abide by business rules like this , making money is really so clean, what are the foreign companies that are dominating the land of Hualan now? Where does the opium imported into Hualan come from?"

"This..." Wu Luzhen was stunned by the words, and thinking about it, the Western Continent they were looking forward to seemed to be not so clean.If it hadn't been for the country of Sa'er to import opium to Hualan, how could Hualan have come to this point? As for those foreign firms bullying the market and forcibly plundering Hualan's wealth, this is a well-known thing.

Seeing that Wu Luzhen couldn't answer, Zhao Shouhong continued: "Based on Wu Zhentong's words, as long as the money in the official's home must be looted, everyone can plunder it. Then if there are robbers in Wu Zhentong's house, your house will be taken away." After looting and killing your relatives, you will still set off firecrackers to celebrate, can't you send the robbers away?"

"What's the matter? I'm a clean and honest official, and I never searched for a cent." Wu Luzhen said angrily.

"So that's the case, but how can I know that what you're telling is the truth? How does Wu Zhentong know that I am an official so that I can plunder people's fat? Is it because I will make money by running a factory?" Zhao Shouhong asked again.

"This..." Wu Luzhen was at a loss for words again.Zhao Shouhong knew that he couldn't always be entangled in this issue, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get to the point.He didn't embarrass Wu Luzhen, and changed the subject: "Xiong Kewu tried to plunder the people's wealth, and the defeat is only his own fault. As for the fact that I am a fellow with Mr. Sun Wenhai, it is because I am also committed to making the country prosperous and strong, and making the country rich and powerful. People can live and work in peace and contentment. Now I have established many factories and agricultural reclamation companies in Zhongchuan, and millions of people have been resettled, which can be regarded as somewhat effective.”

Chapter 3 Eleven Two Tips

"You're just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If you don't overthrow the imperial court, you won't be able to make the country prosperous and strong." Wu Luzhen said.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish. If you can't even treat the symptoms, how can you solve the root cause? It is just a dream to overthrow the imperial court and establish a republic. It will always be strong, and other social systems may not be unable to stand up. As far as I know, Saar, the world's most powerful country, is just a constitutional monarchy."

"No matter what Mr. Zhao says, I still have full confidence in the democratic republic. It's a pity that I can't see the day when Mr. Sun's revolution succeeds. You can fight or kill whatever you want. If I, Wu Luzhen, frown, I'm not a good man." Wu Luzhen said loudly. Said.

"Who said I'm going to kill you?" Zhao Shouhong raised his eyebrows: "I just want to express my thoughts to you. Although I have different ideas from Mr. Sun Wenhai, it doesn't mean that what I think must be right. It's better to let History will choose, what kind of system Hualan adapts to. As for Wu Zhentong's identity, I will keep it a secret for you, but even if I don't inform you, you may not be able to see the day when the Republic of China is established if you continue like this."

"What do you mean?" Wu Luzhen was relieved to hear that Zhao Shouhong planned to cover up his identity for him, but he couldn't understand what Zhao Shouhong said.

Zhao Shouhong frowned slightly and said: "Actually, I invited Wu Zhentong to come here this time, not to threaten you to do something, but to remind you in good faith. One day, Mr. Sun succeeds in raising troops, and Yuan Kai will definitely be against you. If you don’t have a team loyal to yourself at that time, it will be very easy to be in danger. I think you should take advantage of this opportunity to imprison these more than 1000 abandoned officers and soldiers It is firmly in your own hands. In addition, you have to be careful about Ma Buzhou, he is a duplicitous man who loves wealth, and if Yuan Wei wants to commit murder, this person is the best candidate."

Zhao Shouhong took out two kits from his arms while speaking: "I think Wu Zhentong is a like-minded comrade, that's why I said these things to you. As for whether you listen or not, I can't control it. You and I have worked together for several months. Although Wu Zhentong regards me as a corrupt official, I regard you as a friend. I have two brochures here to give to Wu Zhentong, which are numbered. You can open the first brocade bag when the Gongxinghui uprising is victorious. When you are desperate, you can open the second one. But don’t open it at all before that, or your life will be in danger. I have done my best to be a friend by saying this. If Wu Zhentong does not treat me as a friend, the two This kit can be burned. Come and see off the guests."

Zhao Shouhong didn't allow Wu Luzhen to talk, so he let him go.Zhao Shouhong was the only one left in the room. He sighed and said, "I can only do so much. As for whether your fate can be changed, I can't do anything. At least keep some talents for the country. own efforts."

In the next few days, Zhao Shouhong did not see Wu Luzhen again.After handing over all the responsibilities, he decided to leave Wu Liande to carry out the aftermath work, and boarded the train to the imperial capital by himself.This time he will face the next political struggle in the imperial capital, and this struggle is not much easier than fighting the plague.

On the day Zhao Shouhong left, the Harbin Railway Station was crowded with people, almost the whole city came to see off this brave official and his miraculous medical team.After consuls and doctors from various countries bid him farewell, Wu Lien-teh tightly held Zhao Shouhong's hands.

"My lord, I am ashamed of my thoughts. Before you came, I always believed that Chinese medicine was slow to take effect and could not prevent and treat plague at all. But your medical team and your miraculous medicine made me see the power of Chinese medicine. Strength, I hereby sincerely apologize to you." Wu Lien-teh said excitedly.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "You don't need to apologize like this. I see the responsibility of a Hualan person in you. If the people of the whole country are as brave as you to take responsibility, our country will be strong. As for the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine, it is not you. As far as I can measure, how can the good things passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years only be superficial. I suggest that you also dabble in Chinese medicine while studying Western medicine. It cannot be said that Chinese medicine is necessarily better than Western medicine. But they must have their own strengths, and I believe that if you complement each other's strengths, your medical skills will be even better."

"Thank you for your words, sir. I will keep them in mind." Lien-teh Wu nodded and said, "I have just received an invitation from the World Health Organization. They plan to hold a health and epidemic prevention conference in Harbin. I hope we can introduce our experience in epidemic prevention. I wonder if you would like to join."

Zhao Shouhong smiled: "I'm not a doctor, how can I attend such an important meeting, listening to your boring discussions, I will doze off." Wu Liande couldn't help laughing at Zhao Shouhong's words, and the people beside him laughed There was a sound.

Zhao Shouhong said again: "I believe that with your strength, you will be able to preside over this conference well. You discovered pneumonic plague, and this discovery alone is enough to make you famous. I only hope that you can be present at the conference. Win glory for the people of the country and let all foreigners know that Chinese people are also good."

"Yes, I will definitely do it. I don't know if I will be taken in by you if I join my lord's sect in the future." Wu Liande thought for a moment before saying this.

Zhao Shouhong's eyes lit up. He admired this Chinese man who is proficient in Western medicine. It is a good thing to be able to take it under his command. "Okay, the door of my hospital is open for you at any time. As long as you want, you can choose any of my hospitals, and the director has no problem."

"I don't dare to do it, but I will definitely go to the hospital under the command of the adults to study." Wu Lien-teh said.

They talked to Zhao Shouhong some more to stay, and then reluctantly sent him to the car.The guard battalion, medical team and logistics regiment had already pedaled.After Zhao Shouhong got on the train, the train's whistle sounded and the train started to move slowly.

Looking at Harbin which was getting further and further away, Zhao Shouhong fell into deep thought.This trip to Mingbei was a risky move. Of course, this did not mean that the plague was very dangerous to them. Since he and all the doctors and soldiers had been vaccinated in advance, the pneumonic plague could not do anything to them at all.

What Zhao Shouhong was thinking about was a more brutal political struggle. Although he had resolved Zaifeng's possible black hands by retreating this time, he had also put himself in a very unfavorable position.Zhao Shouhong had already considered clearly that if he was not good at preventing the epidemic, he would inevitably be punished with a demotion.The epidemic was quickly controlled, and Zaifeng would not let go of this good opportunity to stay in the imperial capital and monitor nearby.

Chapter 3 Crazy Investment

In any case, it is difficult for him to escape the shackles given by the court.Originally, Zhao Shouhong still felt that with the imperial court in place, Hualan would have a central government, at least there would be no large-scale civil strife.But today's post-Jin court has severely restricted the progress of its Hualan national revival plan. It is better to break this court as soon as possible so that it can have more room for development.

Now, only Shen Ruoxue can save herself from this prison.When he was about to arrive at the imperial capital, his mind had already flown to Guanghai, the place where Shen Ruoxue was going to show off her talents.

Just as Zhao Shouhong's special train was galloping towards the imperial capital, Guanghai City was experiencing an economic massacre, or according to the terms in the financial world, it was called a stock market crash or a financial storm.

Since Mr. Karl Benz, a Teutonic man, invented the first car in [-], the wheels of the car began to run instead of human legs, which greatly increased the consumption of rubber that was not taken seriously.Planting rubber trees and cutting raw rubber to produce tires soon became a high-tech industry that caught the attention of the world in that turbulent era. The demand for rubber in the civilized world expanded rapidly.

In 84, the value of rubber imports in Saar country was 140 Saar pounds, which increased sharply to 700 million Saar pounds in 7000. In [-], the import value of rubber in Baiying Country was [-] million Yingyuan, which increased to [-] million Yingyuan in the following year.The demand for rubber in the world is increasing at a frightening speed, but due to the limitations of climate, soil and tree growth cycle, the production of rubber cannot expand rapidly, so the price of rubber is rapidly increasing.

In the futures market in London, the price was only two shillings per pound in [-], but rose to ten shillings by the end of [-], and reached twelve shillings in the spring of this year.In London, the world's financial capital, hype over rubber stocks is heating up.

The southern part of the Eastern Continent is an ideal place for rubber plantation. Because it is close to Hualan and there are a large number of Chinese and overseas Chinese, the people of the Western Continent prefer to set up their headquarters in Guanghai, the largest financial center in the Far East, for financing. .

As early as [-], Mak Bian, a native of Saar, opened a Lange Zhi Tuozhi Company in Gwanghae, mainly engaged in the operation of rubber plantations.By [-], there were [-] companies developing rubber in Southeast Asia, of which [-] were headquartered in Shanghai.Some foreign firms even put up a sign saying "Buy and sell various rubber shares on behalf of customers" at the door, attracting people from all walks of life to come and speculate.

Among these companies, good and evil are mixed. Some have already purchased rubber plantations locally and just need to wait for the rubber to come out, or even started to produce rubber; some companies have just bought land, and the saplings have not been planted yet; Nambu, just looking for a few names on the map, dared to start raising shares in Gwanghae.

They generally first obtain the support of foreign banks stationed in Guanghai, and then advertise in newspapers, vigorously publicizing the company's bright prospects, and claiming that its shares can be pledged in cash at face value in foreign banks, so as to not only win glory The trust of Haihua merchants has even involved a large number of foreigners and foreign firms in Gwanghae.

In order to push up the stock price, those foreigners who started rubber companies kept spreading the market conditions in London to Gwanghae: a company issued 100 million Saar pounds of stock, but it was sold out in half an hour; a stock with a face value of 180 yuan, The highest rose to [-] yuan; another stock with a face value of [-] yuan rose to [-] yuan at the highest.

This type of market has greatly stimulated the confidence of Guanghai investors, thus promoting the skyrocketing of Shanghai Rubber stocks.On December [-], the first year of Xuanxing, the stock of Langezhi Company was [-] taels, and it rose to [-] taels on February [-] of the following year. The stock of another rubber company, Weighbridge Company, was [-] taels on January [-], the first year of Xuanguang. After one and a half months, it rose to [-] taels. A myth of getting rich like a fantasy in rubber stocks began to become a reality in Gwanghae.

With such a positive stimulus, some people have jumped into the stock market before they even figured out what rubber is.Of course, the wavers in this tide are Shanghai's money industry - banks and bank offices.Among them, the outstanding ones are Chen Yiqing of Zhengyuan Bank, Dai Jiabao of Zhaokang Bank, and Lu Dasheng of Qianyu Bank.

Chen Yiqing is the comprador of Maohe foreign company, Xinqichang foreign company and foreign Lihua bank. He owns Qingyu foreign store, Zhengyuan bank, and participates in Zhaokang bank. Dai Jiabao, the major shareholder of Zhaokang bank, is the German merchant Yuxing foreign bank the comprador.

These foreigners' compradors all boasted that they were well-informed and had a foresight of the market conditions in London, and successively issued banknotes of 600 million taels to buy stocks.The so-called banker's bill is a kind of bill issued by a bank that contains a certain amount of money and is responsible for cashing it, which is equivalent to a bank check.It is divided into two types: spot and forward. The spot banker's bill is payable at sight, and the forward banker's bill is paid in cash at maturity.

Generally speaking, banknotes issued by creditworthy and powerful banks are highly accepted by the common people, and can even circulate in the market instead of cash.By the [-]s, Qianzhuang had established a financing relationship with foreign banks in China.Beginning to borrow funds from foreign banks in China with banknotes as collateral, so banknotes became a tool for banks to establish a fund lending relationship with foreign banks in China.

The three banks issued a huge banknote of 600 million taels, and their debt ratio was already extremely high, but they still felt that it was not enough, and they adjusted their positions with banks with contacts such as Senyuan, Yuanfeng, Huida, Xiefeng, and Jinda.Under the demonstration of Qianzhuang, merchants and individuals have also joined the army of stock speculation.Because of greed for high profits, many people mortgaged their real estate, jewelry, and clothing, especially for insufficient funds, and borrowed money from banks.

In order to cater to this trend, Qianzhuang followed foreign banks and launched a new mortgage loan method.That is to say, merchants and individuals can use the purchased stocks as collateral, lend money, buy new stocks, and then borrow money to buy stocks.The reason why Qianzhuang is so generous is simply because it feels that "this stock is far better than cash."There are even some people who claim to have a broad vision and think that buying in Gwanghae is not enough, so they redeem the money and go to London to buy.

In this round of transactions, the Chinese merchants invested between 600 million and 3000 million taels in the Guanghai market, and about 400 million taels in the London market, which together amounted to 4000 million taels.In the wild hype, Guanghai's funds were almost completely frozen, and it was difficult for other industries to obtain funds. The largest financial center in the Far East had no money to finance.

These are all historical data, but Shen Ruoxue's strategy is even crazier. Not only did she invest 2000 million taels of silver in Shanghai, she also invested as much as [-] million taels of silver in London and even New York stock and futures markets.This is tantamount to investing all the working capital of the entire Hollywood consortium. Once this operation is wrong, her industry in the White Eagle Kingdom may return to before liberation overnight.

Chapter 3 Thirteen The Strange Man Yang Xizi

Zhao Shouhong didn't understand the madness of women. If he knew that Shen Ruoxue dared to invest in such a way, he would definitely not agree, but Shen Ruoxue's actions brought unexpected results.Financial experts from all over the world were not optimistic about the skyrocketing of rubber stocks. In their view, this kind of irrational investment will always cool down, and by then it will definitely be an irreversible stock market disaster.

According to the predictions of many experts, this surge in rubber stocks should have stagnated at the beginning of [-], and then it will slowly decline, and finally there will be a collapse.What they saw was the funds in the stock market and the funds that might enter the stock market, but Shen Ruoxue relied on consortiums and trust companies to conceal the flow of funds, which these people could not find at all.

A practice that even Morgan would have trembled when he heard it, let so much money covertly enter the stock market, thus pushing up the stock price in an all-round way.People from all over the world who were afraid to enter the financial market saw the huge benefits. Facing the skyrocketing stocks and huge profits, people from all over the world lost their minds, and many people joined the feast of rubber stocks. Even many large companies are not exempt.

The stock price quickly broke through the bottom line of most people's psychology, and almost all the funds from all over the world began to inject into the stock market, which pushed up rubber stocks again and again, and the huge benefits almost dazzled everyone's eyes.In the end, even the governments of various countries secretly invested funds in it, as did the imperial court and the Sichuan-Han Railway Company.Under such circumstances, Shen Ruoxue remained calm all the time, seeing that the situation was almost over, she began to prepare to close the net.

Just when the whole world was talking about the stock boom, Zhao Shouhong's train arrived at the imperial capital, and he was greeted by Xu Haichang as soon as he got off the train. "Shou Hong is very capable. Such a severe epidemic has been controlled by you. I am afraid that you will have a place in the court in the future. Entering the center at the age of 22, you can be regarded as No. 1 in the court." Xu Haichang couldn't help feeling.

Zhao Shouhong knew that Xu Haichang belonged to Yuan Kui, and they both belonged to the constitutional school, so they had less scruples about speaking.Seeing that there was no one around, Zhao Shouhong said in a low voice: "Master Xu, this is not what he meant. Can't you see that this is another old matter of Yuan Gong? Transfer me away from Zhongchuan and take me up in the imperial capital to meet with Yuan Gong." Isn't it the same way to be transferred from the Northern Territory?"
