Zhao Shouhong said: "All my money has been invested in the industry, but the transportation in Zhongchuan is inconvenient, and the products are difficult to export, so I plan to build several railways. Fortunately, when I was studying abroad, I knew a classmate who was somewhat powerful. She can help I’m raising money in the White Eagle Country, so I’ll have money.”

"Oh? Can you let your classmate invest in Xia Yeping Company, so that I can also build a steel plant in Daye Iron Mine." Sheng Xingsun's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"This... I have time to send a telegram to ask this classmate first, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Zhao Shouhong knew that Shen Ruoxue was doing his best to prepare for the financial crisis. As for whether he had any spare money to invest in Xia Yeping's company, he had to ask.

Chapter 72 Answers at Court

"That's good, that's good, I'll wait for the good news." Sheng Xingsun's face beamed with joy.Seeing the old and the young chanting the business scriptures, Zhang Xiaoda and Zhao Erzhen shook their heads secretly, they both had the same temper and couldn't put all their minds on the officialdom.

The palace gate finally opened, and many ministers who had arrived filed in and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Today is not a grand meeting, so no officials stand outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, even Zhao Shouhong, the youngest official, can stand in the corner of the hall.

Many officials were chatting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but Zhao Shouhong hid in a corner and stopped contacting anyone. On the surface, he was in a daze, but in fact he had already turned on his personal optical brain and was reading through the history books. The photos identify the most powerful officials of the Qing Dynasty one by one.

"The empress dowager is here, the emperor is here." Following the eunuch's loud singing, Zhao Shouhong had just checked half of the people, when he heard the morning chant, he immediately stood up straight and lowered his head.At this time, everyone in the hall stopped talking, and everyone stood back to their positions, bowing their heads and closing their mouths like old monks in meditation.Zhao Shouhong huddled in the corner, peeking at the pale and thin Emperor Guangran sitting on the dragon chair, and behind the yellow gauze curtain, there was also a shadow swaying, obviously the empress dowager had also arrived.

"Long live my emperor, long live the empress dowager." Everyone knelt down and shouted long live to Guang Ranshan above.Then the empress dowager behind the curtain began to inquire about the state of affairs of the ministers and gave instructions one by one.Every time the empress dowager made a decision, she would ask Guangran what she thought, and Guangran agreed every time. Obviously, he was a puppet who could only agree but could not object.

Such an uninteresting courtroom answer made Zhao Shouhong drowsy, and he felt quite disdainful for such an inefficient way of doing things.Just when Zhao Shouhong was thinking about whether to call out some books from his optical brain to read, he suddenly heard the empress dowager's old voice suddenly saying: "Where is Jianchang Daoist Zhao Shouhong?"

"My minister is here." Hearing that he was called directly, Zhao Shouhong hurried out of the class and knelt down. He put down his horseshoe sleeves like the ministers just now, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and fell silent on the ground. Waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

"Zhao Shouhong, are you guilty?" The empress dowager's words startled Zhao Shouhong. As soon as he arrived in the imperial capital yesterday, he sent his guards out to give gifts. The Empress Dowager presented a rather exquisite West Continent clock.

This clock is manufactured by the space hospital's six-dimensional metal shaping machine, and the pattern is quite delicate without any trace of carving.Surrounding the clock is a completely simulated small garden, and there is even a fountain that uses mechanical power to move, which is definitely one of the unique boutiques in the world.

He gave such a good gift, and today the empress dowager came up to question him. Zhao Shouhong wondered if the eunuch had hidden the things he sent.Thinking about it carefully, those eunuchs probably didn't have the guts to hide something that was given to the Queen Mother. Zhao Shouhong gritted his teeth and replied, "Forgive me for being dull, please let the Queen Dowager express it."

Zhao Shouhong's words startled Zhao Erzhen. He didn't know what Zhao Shouhong was going to do, but he dared to say that he was not guilty.Unexpectedly, the empress dowager didn't blame him, but said softly: "You are innocently provoking trouble, it's okay to provoke the Sar people."

"Empress Dowager Mingjian, my servant did exchange fire with the Saar people, but it was not the Saar army, but some unemployed vagrants who invaded our territory with guns. I wiped out these Saar people on our territory in the western border area. What's more, the Sar people were only captured, and now they are all living well in Ankang Road, and they dare not lack food and clothing." Zhao Shouhong explained his reasons.

The empress dowager nodded and even took this moment lightly: "In this case, wait until San Chao goes to the Sal embassy to explain it to you."

"I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order." Zhao Shouhong heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Queen Mother was just showing off and didn't really want to deal with him.

"I heard that you established an industry in the western Xinjiang area, and you formed a practice of bravery that won the support of the local people. It is really gratifying to quickly stabilize the local situation. I wonder if you have any good strategies to make the western Xinjiang area safe for a long time." The queen mother asked.

Zhao Shouhong was trying to reap some benefits for himself, so he said loudly: "The chaos in Western Xinjiang is caused by the fact that the vassals do not agree with me, and now I have married the great lord of Shenfeng to reassure the vassals, and the people who moved from Zhongchuan to Hualan thought that The assistance also allows them to have more contact with the vassals to enhance understanding and avoid misunderstandings. In addition, relying on the mixed training of Hua and vassals, they are treated equally, and the place is naturally stable."

"Okay, you are indeed a capable minister, and it is not in vain for me to promote you to Jianchang Daoist." The Empress Dowager laughed.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your kindness, I still have a plan, I hope Empress Dowager can refer to it." Zhao Shouhong said.

"Tell me about it," said the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Shouhong boldly said: "I think that the imperial court's new army is too small to be defended everywhere, and it will be difficult to arrive in time if there is an emergency at the border. Therefore, more railways should be built to facilitate mobility."

At the beginning, everyone thought that Zhao Shouhong would organize and train the new army by himself, but when they heard that it turned out to be the construction of the railway, the ministers couldn't help but smile.Because of Yuan Kui's self-respect of supporting troops, many diehards are most jealous of someone wanting to train a new army. Now that Zhao Shouhong is involved in the construction of the railway, these people have relaxed a lot of vigilance.

"It takes a lot of money to build the railway. Now that the Dizhang Railway is still under construction, how can the imperial court spend so much money to build the railway?" the Queen Mother asked.

"I am willing to pay for the construction of a railway from Lanzhou to Yili for the country, so as to consolidate our northwest border. Once the railway is built, the road rights will be handed over to the state, and I will not give a single cent." Zhao Shouhong's words scared everyone jumped.A railway of such a large project requires a lot of money, and Zhao Shouhong also said that it is to build roads for the country, which makes it hard for everyone to understand.

"Zhao Aiqing's words are serious?" The empress dowager was overjoyed when she heard it, she couldn't believe her ears, she had never seen such a loyal minister.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Don't dare to lie to the Empress Dowager. I have established some industries in Sichuan and Xinjiang. After careful calculation, I can barely support such a railway. As long as I can strengthen the border defense for the country, I will help you even if you sell everything." Zhao Shouhong What he said was straightforward, but the others couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd. Naturally, no one expressed support or opposition.

"Zhao Aiqing is loyal to the country. She is really a role model for me. I wonder what Zhao Aiqing wants the court to promise in exchange for this railway?" The empress dowager is not a fool. She donated so much money to the country by herself. It's really hard to justify.

Chapter 73 Xu Haichang's Invitation

"I don't dare. I just want to build a branch line from Ankang Road to connect with this railway, so as to facilitate the export of goods from the factory." Zhao Shouhong's request can be said to be almost negligible.

"Yes, as for how to build the railway, you can discuss it with Zhan Youming, Minister of Communications, and ask him to send someone to you." The Empress Dowager said.

"Thank you Empress Dowager." Zhao Shouhong was excited when he heard that, his biggest problem was finally solved.The Empress Dowager suddenly stopped him and said, "I heard that Zhao Aiqing's bravery is good at fighting, and most of the officers are from the Zhongchuan Armed Forces School?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, that's true. As for being able to conquer and fight well, it's out of the question. At that time, the Saar army was mainly sleeping. We rushed in at night, and they had no time to resist." Zhao Shouhong wanted to lower the strength of his army as much as possible. Prevent someone from being jealous.

"That's fine, I think you should be included in the new army. The leader of the brave training, Pan Wenhua, heard that he was also from the Armed Forces Academy, so let him be the leader of the 34th Mixed Association, and he is still stationed on Ankang Road. ’” said the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Shouhong understood as soon as he heard it. It seemed that he had two ways, which made the empress dowager more careful. She wanted to seize her military power, which showed that the empress dowager was not at ease with herself.Since the other party wanted to feel at ease, Zhao Shouhong simply made her feel more at ease, and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, if Lian Yong is incorporated into the new army, I would like to ask you to play something."

"Let's talk about something." The Empress Dowager's goal has been achieved, and there are unexpected surprises. At this time, she is obviously very excited.

"Pan Wenhua lacks combat experience. Although most of the officers in the new 34th Association come from armed forces schools, they are not competent. I wonder if we can borrow one or two generals from the Northern Territory New Army to enhance combat effectiveness." Zhao Shouhong was evading suspicion. Letting the members of the Northern Territory New Army take control of the 34th Association, which will be formed by Lian Yong, is an indirect show of loyalty.

The empress dowager was overjoyed when she heard the words: "It's so good. After you retire from the imperial court, you can go to the Ministry of War to discuss with Tie Liang and see which people to transfer."

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your kindness." Zhao Shouhong cursed inwardly. He repaired the railway for her, but she did this to herself. thing.

After the court was over, Zhang Xiaoda was stopped by some old friends and was unable to continue chatting, so Zhao Shouhong naturally followed his grandfather Zhao Erzhen and walked out of the palace.At this time, a person came up in a hurry, cupped his hands at Zhao Shouhong and said, "Master Zhao, please stay."

"You are?" Zhao Shouhong stopped in surprise, and looked at the old man with a fair face and five long beards beside him.Zhao Erzhen also stopped. He looked back and smiled at the old man, "So it's Brother Haichang. Do you know what you can do with my grandson?"

"Who is Haichang?" Zhao Shouhong couldn't remember whose name it was for a while, but felt quite familiar.

"Brother Zhao is so lucky to have such a heroic and good grandson, he is really extraordinary." The old man said with a smile: "I am just passing a word on behalf of my ally, he will come to the imperial capital in two days, I hope he can Tell Master Zhao."

"Brother Guimeng?" Zhao Shouhong was taken aback, he didn't hear who the other party was talking about.

The old man laughed loudly and said: "It seems that Mr. Zhao doesn't know who I am anymore, so does Xu Haichang."

"What?" Zhao Shouhong exclaimed in surprise: "You are the Minister of Civil Affairs, Mr. Xu?" The Hualan ministers hadn't made the comparison yet, so naturally they didn't recognize him.

Zhao Shouhong's heart shuddered immediately and he said immediately: "Then, isn't Brother Yuan Kai, your brother?"

"That's right, my brother-in-law is the governor of Zhili and the minister of the Northern Territory, Yuan Kai. How about it? Master Zhao, do you want to meet?" Xu Shichang said with a smile.

"Master Yuan Kai is a hero, so the juniors naturally want to see it. It's just a humble official with a low position, how can Lord Yuan Kai value him so much?" Zhao Shouhong was a little surprised.

"Although Mr. Zhao has a small job, his potential is limitless. Not to mention the extraordinary strength of the five thousand warriors, this steel factory and cement factory alone are enough to have a place in Houjin. If you add the vassals to you With your support, you must be the next minister stationed in western Xinjiang." Xu Shichang laughed.

Zhao Shouhong was almost not depressed to death by Xu Haichang's words. Originally, his cat was in the sparsely populated place on the border of Sichuan and Xinjiang, thinking that he could develop secretly and not be known to outsiders.But now Zhang Xiaoda, the Empress Dowager, and Yuan Kui's party all know it clearly. If it weren't for the chemical plant not paying attention to these people, I am afraid that the level of surveillance they have encountered will be even higher.Zhao Shouhong began to make secret calculations. After returning home, he must do a good job of keeping secrets and strictly investigate spies and agents. Now that the domestic forces pay attention to him, it is okay to say that if he is targeted by the Japanese people too early, it will be very bad.

"Humble job doesn't have a title in the imperial capital, and there is always plenty of time. If Master Yuan Kai wants to see him, I will go there right away." Zhao Shouhong said politely with a smile.

"My brother-in-law is still in Tianfeng City, but we are not in a hurry to meet, so we have made an agreement, and I will definitely send someone to invite me when the time comes." Xu Haichang said politely to Zhao Erzhen with a smile on his face, turned and left.

Zhao Shouhong looked at Zhao Erzhen beside him and sighed, "Grandpa, don't you want to say something to me?"

"What should I say?" Zhao Erzhen looked at his grandson with a smile, showing no abnormal expression at all.

"Before I came, I heard from my uncle that you are a staunch conservative, and you are very opposed to reform and constitutionalism. Now Zhang Xiangshuai and Yuan Wei, the two major banners of the constitutionalist school, are trying to get in touch with me. Don't you mean to be unhappy?" Zhao Shouhong said.

"Really?" Zhao Erzhen said with a smile: "I just saw my grandson, who has become a great talent that everyone pays attention to and attracts. I am too happy. How could I have that kind of thought? I also want to understand these days. I'm afraid I won't be able to go on, and I'm at a loss as to where to go." Zhao Erzhen's few words contained a strong feeling of licking the calf, which made Zhao Shouhong's heart very excited.

Zhao Erzhen looked at Zhao Shouhong meaningfully and said, "I'm old, I don't have the determination to forge ahead when I was young, and I don't want to bother about it anymore. The country is always your young people, you can do whatever you want Do it well, and I will support you. 'If a country lives and dies, don't avoid it because of misfortune or good fortune.' Master Lin's words are vivid in his memory, you don't need to ask me, a bad old man, what you should do in the future."
