Li Yuanhong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This is not selling warships, it is clearly extortion.Don't say that warships are captured spoils, even if they are newly built, they won't cost so much money.Seeing Zhao Shouhong's lack of sincerity, Li Yuanhong simply kept silent.

We talked about state affairs for a while, and the wine was almost drunk.As soon as the spirit of wine came up, Li Yuanhong and others showed their ugly faces, and they all laughed with the prostitutes around them.The literati of this era do not reject brothels. On the contrary, they think it is a kind of romantic and elegant expression, so even Liang Qichao is not exempt from the vulgarity.

Zhao Shouhong, the only one who didn't make fun of the prostitutes around him, looked around and saw that Cai Songpo was talking to Xiao Fengxian in a low voice, but coughed twice from time to time.Cai Songpo bought a house near Bada Hutong last month, allowing him to move out of Zhao Shouhong's mansion.The two didn't live close together, so they rarely saw each other, but they didn't expect Cai Songpo to start coughing after only three days of seeing each other.

Thinking of Cai Songpo's death from tuberculosis in history, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help feeling worried. "Brother Songpo, are you sick?" Zhao Shouhong asked with concern.

Cai Songpo raised his head and said, "It's just a cold, it will be fine in two days."

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "It's better to be careful, let the doctor I brought take a look in two days, get some medicine and take it quickly."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Cai Songpo smiled and waved his hand.

Hearing Zhao Shouhong chatting with Cai Songpo, Yang Shiqi raised his head.He looked at Zhao Shouhong, who was sitting there in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Could it be that Shouhong is not interested in Hongju? This is the most popular nobleman in Yunjiban, and he has only been here for a month. A high-ranking official who wants to get close to her The honorable man will be full of attention. This Hongju is not accompanied by all the guests, it is too wasteful for you to neglect the beautiful woman like this."

"Oh?" Zhao Shouhong glanced at the pure and delicate red chrysanthemum, and he really looked lovable.

Cai Songpo who was at the side said, "I'm afraid you haven't seen it before. Both of Shou Hong's wives are beautiful and beautiful, and they are much higher than you and me."

"Oh? So that's the case, no wonder no wonder." Yang Shiqi smiled and shook his head.

Sakanishi Rihachiro's eyes lit up when he heard that, he looked Zhao Shouhong up and down and said: "It's true that a talented man matches a beautiful woman, Minister Zhao is really lucky."

"Brother Songpo praised you, but my wife is not that good." Zhao Shouhong drank a glass of wine with a smile, and looked sideways at Hongju, who bowed her head shyly.

Banxi Rihachiro said: "I don't think it's not that Minister Zhao doesn't like Hongju, but that there are so many of us present, he can't let go. It's better to let me do something and send Hongju to Minister Zhao's mansion. How about a golden house?" Rihachiro Sakanishi looked at Zhao Shouhong with a smile, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled with his desperate ingratiation.

Liang Qichao next to him smiled and said, "Mr. Banxi is not kind. You are making Minister Zhao's family uneasy. If you hide in the golden house outside, Minister Zhao will spend a lot of money." His words immediately attracted everyone to burst into laughter Laughing, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help but smile, this well-known talent of the senior generation, unexpectedly has such a bohemian side.

"The teacher was joking with Mr. Banxi. When it comes to making money, no one in the whole country can match Shouhong. Speaking of his factory, he can be said to be as rich as the country." Thinking of Zhao Shouhong's pen, he sent Cai Songpo couldn't help clicking his tongue secretly as he didn't feel distressed at all for his huge amount of military supplies.

"Nowadays, the fierce battle in the Western Continent is raging. As long as you have a factory in your hand, no one can make a lot of money. I think Zhou Caishen and Liang Caishen under the president's command are not bad. I guess they only think about how to expand production now. .” Zhao Shouhong lightly concealed the past.After all, the Japanese spy is here, and he doesn't want the other party to pay attention to his property.

"Who is talking about the two of us behind our backs?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Shouhong finished speaking, the door of the room opened suddenly, and Zhou Xuexi and Liang Shiyi, two of Yuan Kai's two gods of wealth, walked in slowly.

"Brother Liang, Brother Zhou, why are you two here now? Everyone has been eating for a long time." Li Yuanhong stood up to greet them, and after letting them sit down, the old guard sent two beauties to accompany them.Li Yuanhong asked his attendants to remove the leftover food and drink, and put new food and wine on the table.

Sitting at the table, Zhou Xuexi happened to be opposite to Zhao Shouhong. When he saw Hongju beside him, he was taken aback and then smiled: "Shouhong is indeed a well-known young hero throughout the country. Even Miss Hongju is willing to accompany her. I seldom drink with guests."

"Really?" Zhao Shouhong just said lightly.

But Li Yuanhong said: "Jizhi, you are too late. Mr. Banxi will redeem Hongju and send it to Shouhong's residence. I am afraid you don't even have to think about it in the future."

"I didn't expect Mr. Banxi to be so rich. Hongju's redemption is not a small sum." Zhou Xuexi was startled when he heard that, Hongju is such a beautiful and popular Qing Dynasty official in Beihua City, the price of redemption is shocking.

"I also want to thank you for your kindness, and I will definitely repay you in the future." Zhao Shouhong said politely.Rihachiro Sakanishi was full of joy when he heard it. It seems that as long as a human being has weaknesses, such as lust.It's a pity that Rihachiro Sakanishi didn't know, and Zhao Shouhong had something else in mind.The Japanese devil's money is not spent for nothing. Even if I release Hongju girl in the future, I will let you spend money to redeem yourself first. I am happy to see you spend money.

"Speaking of which, my recent factory is quite profitable, and I dare not directly say that I will redeem Miss Hongju." Zhou Xuexi said.

Liang Shiyi directly exposed his words: "Your profits have been thrown into expanding production. Of course, you have no money to redeem yourself. If the president hadn't summoned you, you probably wouldn't have time to go back to Beihua City. You spend every day in the factory."

Zhou Xuexi laughed loudly: "Isn't it possible for me to expand production to collect more taxes? Isn't Liang Caishen's life easier for you by collecting more taxes?"

"It's true, if Shouhong builds a few factories in Zhili, I'm afraid the tax revenue will be even more." Liang Shiyi peeked at Zhao Shouhong.The provinces under the Dashu military government do not pay taxes, but the two major group companies Hanxing and Guangming, as well as a large number of businessmen related to Zhao Shouhong, have established many factories in Guanghai City and Zhongchuan.

"I also want to build a few factories in Tianfeng City. The port facilities here are good, and the transportation is also convenient." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile, and he did not forget to glance at Liang Zhou, the God of Wealth.

"Oh? As long as Shou Hong has this plan, I can recruit workers for the land acquisition." Hearing that he was going to build a factory in Tianfeng City, Liang Shiyi was very active.

"I think now that the war in the Western Continent is starting, all countries are short of everything." Zhou Xuexi suggested, "Why don't we jointly open a factory?"

"No problem, what kind of factory does Brother Ji want to open?" Zhao Shouhong didn't mind opening a few more factories, after all, the market is too big now.It is impossible for any country or organization to eat it. Being able to build more factories is to increase national strength.

Zhou Xuexi thought for a moment and said: "I think there is a shortage of everything in the Western Continent, especially weapons and ammunition. Weapons and ammunition are all made of steel. We might as well open a steel factory."

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said: "Although Tianfeng City is close to the Kailuan Coal Mine, there is no iron ore available. It is not appropriate to build a steel factory." The chances are very high, and he doesn't want to increase the defense strength of the opponent.

"Yes, soldiers always wear clothes in battle, how about we open a garment factory?" Zhao Shouhong suggested.

"Garment factory?" Zhou Xuexi's face turned bitter. In his opinion, clothes don't make much money at all.

Seeing Zhou Xuexi's appearance, Zhao Shouhong knew what the other party was thinking.Perhaps it is a matter of the consciousness of the Chinese people. Last time he talked with Zhu Baosan about setting up a joint garment factory, the other party politely declined.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Brother Ji, don't underestimate these clothes. Now there are tens of millions of troops in the Western Continent, and they need a lot of clothes. Moreover, the fabrics I provide are quite strong and wear-resistant, and are more versatile than ordinary cotton military uniforms." As long as we continue to expand production, we can sell as much as we produce, and we can also develop other products, including armed belts, quilts, gloves, etc.”

Zhou Xuexi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and after careful calculation, this business is really not small.Zhao Shouhong continued: "Besides, this battle will always be over. As long as we promote our brand during the war, we will let everyone know that our clothes are durable. After the war is over, everyone will always wear clothes. At that time, the country's economy was depressed due to the war, and the people's lives were difficult. They naturally wanted to reduce expenditures in all aspects. Our clothes have good wear resistance, can be worn for several years, and the price is not expensive. Naturally, it is everyone's first choice. In this way, we will be able to Take the business abroad and soon occupy the market and become a world-renowned big brand.”

"You're right. No wonder Shouhong's business is getting bigger and bigger. Let's just build this garment factory. We can use the war to expand our influence and still make a lot of money after the war. But let others remember that we have to build a loud His name is easy to remember." Zhou Xuexi said.

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "We call it Crocodile."

A look of astonishment flashed in Sakanishi Rihachiro's eyes. He didn't expect Zhao Shouhong, who was a good fighter, to have such brilliant ideas in business.No wonder some people say that shopping malls are like battlefields, and those who know how to fight really know how to do business.Rihachiro Sakanishi secretly wondered, it seems that he should raise the level of attention to this person.

Everyone chatted at the wine table, and it was not until midnight that they broke up happily.Zhao Shouhong didn't care, and returned to his mansion with a trace of alcohol, and fell asleep with his head covered.At dawn the next morning, Zhao Shouhong was woken up by his bodyguard.

"What happened?" Zhao Shouhong stood up and asked.

Zhou Pingtong, the guard standing outside the door, said: "A carriage came outside and brought a woman."

"Woman? Who sent it?" Zhao Shouhong asked in his clothes.

"The person who came here only said that Master Ban sent it, and also said that the girl's name is Hong Ju." Zhou Pingtong replied.

"Ban Zhichao? Sakaxi Rihachiro actually redeemed Hongju, and his hands and feet are really fast enough." Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly, but he immediately felt a severe pain in his waist.

Sun Yuting, who was lying on the bed, leaned half her body up and said, "Okay, it's fine to go out and drink flower wine, and you even drink all the prostitutes to your home. You are really infatuated."

"Oh, oh, my wife, please forgive me." Zhao Shouhong cried out in pain.

Afraid of being heard by the guards outside, Sun Yuting finally stopped: "Hmph, what's going on?"

Zhao Shouhong rubbed the sore spot and said, "I've been wronged, my wife. I didn't redeem this red chrysanthemum. I'm also money from the Black Japanese." He told the whole story of yesterday's situation from beginning to end.

Sun Yuting frowned and said, "You say that Ban Zhichao is the Japanese spy Rihachiro Sakanishi? It's too dangerous for you to work with him. Why don't you get rid of him or report to the president?"

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said, "Do you think Yuan Kai will trust me? He will trust Rihachiro Sakanishi even more, but I will be self-defeating to make the other party alert. As for getting rid of him, there is no need. The most dangerous enemy is in the dark. .Now we are in the dark and he is in the light. We can adapt to the situation. If we change to a spy leader we don’t know, we don’t know where to find it.”

"You're smart, but I can't say no to you." Sun Yuting scratched Zhao Shouhong's nose with her jade fingers, "You know it's so dangerous, but you brought Zhen'er and me here."

"I want to reassure Yuan Kai, you can rest assured that we are as stable as Mount Tai." Zhao Shouhong said without hesitation, and Sun Yuting couldn't help but believe it.

"Let's just trust you, you'd better go out and have a look, don't neglect the beauty." Sun Yuting waved her hand.

"You are my favorite eldest wife. I can't touch that woman." Zhao Shouhong smiled and put on his clothes to open the door, and heard Sun Yuting say from behind: "Ghosts will believe you."

Without daring to turn around to argue, Zhao Shouhong hurried to the front hall, where Hong Ju was standing there with her head down, motionless.When Zhao Shouhong entered the door, his eyes lit up, and he found that Hongju was wearing a silk cheongsam.
