Beiyang reactionaries

"Yes, Mr. Qinghai, everyone will listen to you at this time."

Everyone was in a panic, only Zheng Hong hadn't spoken since he came in, but was drinking tea quietly.Zheng Hong was shocked at first, but soon he understood what Duan Xun meant.

Duan Xun wants to reorganize the Xin'an militia.

But Duan Xun didn't want to demand these people.Because if you only ask for people, you have to pay something, and you are at a disadvantage in the negotiation.But now that they are so forced, these people don't say that they are making demands on Duan Xun, but they are rushing to hand over the Xin'an militia to Duan Xun's hands to curry favor with Duan Xun.

Very clever means.

It was precisely because he saw Duan Xun's thoughts that Zheng Hong was not in a hurry.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Zheng Hongcai said: "All of you are confused when doing business. Duan Xun is a dragon, how can he stay in such a small place in the west of Henan. What he wants is a big stage. And Now is the time for him to start, can you tell me what he needs most now?"

"Big stage?"

"Of course. Duan Xun was already the brigade commander of the 25th Mixed Brigade at the age of 29. He has thousands of people in his hands and is in charge of our Western Henan. And he will soon become Duan Hefei's niece and son-in-law. With such a background, his future is smooth. You guys You really thought he would care about his dealings with the bandits. He is just beating you and telling you to be honest."

As Zheng Hong said, he patted the table lightly.

"Think about it, he wants a background, an army, and an army. What he needs most at this stage is outstanding achievements. He has fought against Bai Lang's army before, and got good results. And What does he want to do most in Yuxi now?"

"Suppress bandits?"

"Yes, it is to suppress bandits. Since I entered Western Henan for thousands of years, the banditry has never been eliminated. Now that Duan Xun has come to Western Henan to serve as the commander-in-chief of Western Henan, what will be the most outstanding contribution? It is to suppress the bandits. So whoever blocks him from suppressing the bandits at this time is his enemy. He will not let go."

When Zheng Hong said this, many people present had already recalled it.

These people are all from local gentry backgrounds, and they are already very smart.And after many years of doing business, the way to advance and retreat is also very clear.Before, they were just stuck in the game, and some didn't know the meaning of Lushan's true face.

But following Zheng Hong's analysis, smart people have already started to think of a way.

"Mr. Qinghai means that Duan Xun has no malice towards us, he just doesn't want us to disturb his bandit suppression."

Just as someone below said this, he was despised by the people next to him.

Fool.

Even Zheng Hong couldn't help looking up at this idiot, then shook his head and said, "What Duan Xun needs now is two things. One is the Xin'an militia that everyone knows about. The Xin'an militia is the most formal, The militia with the largest number of people and the strongest combat effectiveness. Duan Xun is determined to win the Xin'an militia. He not only hopes to get a strong Xin'an militia, but also hopes to show other counties. Use this as an example to reorganize the entire militia in western Henan, and then these troops Join the battle to suppress the bandits in western Henan in a unified way. This will solve the banditry in western Henan in a short time."

Everyone is nodding.

Zheng Tang immediately said: "Brother, in fact, if Duan Xun can really solve the banditry in Western Henan, it's okay to take away the militia. In order to maintain this militia, we have to allocate a lot of money every year."

"Yes."

The Xin'an Militia is supported by these Xin'an chambers of commerce.You can order a lot for the money you spend.And to feed the militia, these chambers of commerce didn't think about doing anything big.It's just to protect the environment and the people, and to protect the interests of these businessmen.

"Let me talk about the second thing Duan Xun needs."

Zheng Hong did not wait for these people to answer, and continued: "That is money."

"what?"

"Mr. Qinghai, after all, is Duan Xun trying to blackmail us?"

"Yes."

"These soldiers are like that."

When money was mentioned, everyone immediately became angry.It doesn't matter if you scold me, hit me, or humiliate me, but if you want to take my money, it's not that easy.Zheng Hong looked at these people and shook his head, and then said: "I'll talk to you later. I just said that there are people behind Duan Xun, and he has an army. He will definitely be promoted in the future. But he There are also some things missing, the most missing thing is money.”

"Look at the current governors in China. Which of them either has a lot of assets or a rich family. In other words, there are many industries in the areas they control, and there are many business groups behind them. But Duan Xun is too young to rise up. The time is too short, so there is no such business group support behind him. Therefore, he is short of money. As long as a person like Duan Xun wants to be promoted, he will need a lot of money to support him. Otherwise, what about Duan Xun? We will open a coal mine in our Xin'an. With your little money, you really think that Duan Xun is interested in it."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I have decided to cooperate with Duan Xun. Our Zheng family plans to invest [-] silver dollars in the Xin'an Coal Mine Factory opened by Duan Xun as shares. What you want to do is up to you, and I will go first left."

29 Xin'an Business Group

"Mr. Zihao, I am not a bandit, nor are my troops."

Zheng Dang.

The president of Xin'an Chamber of Commerce.

Because of its geographical location, Xin'an's business is still very developed.Of course, Xin'an's commerce is developed, more because it is close to Luoyang, and Luoyang is the most developed place for commerce.

After all, Henan is the Central Plains.

Luoyang is one of the most important cities in Henan.Many businessmen who travel north and south will stop in Luoyang.As a result, Luoyang became one of the most important commercial centers in Henan.

Although it is not as good as the Jiangnan area, it is still a very developed city in Henan.

The Xin'an Chamber of Commerce has held several meetings in a row in the past two days.It was really because what Duan Xun said was terrible.Soon Xin'an Chamber of Commerce came up with some methods to deal with Duan Xun.

First, the Xin'an Chamber of Commerce agreed to include the Xin'an militia into the ranks of Duan Xun's troops.But the meaning of Xin'an Chamber of Commerce is very simple, they will not stop those who are willing to defect to Duan Xun, but Duan Xun can't let those who don't want to be soldiers also pull over.

Duan Xun looked funny.

I want to play this kind of Tai Chi with myself.

Second, the Xin'an Chamber of Commerce is willing to invest [-] silver dollars in the Xin'an Coal Mine.

This is to tell Duan Xun that with [-], we are happy enough.Too much, everyone is not good-looking.Duan Xun couldn't help laughing when he saw this thing from the Xin'an Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Zihao, you are the younger brother of Mr. Qinghai (Zheng Hong), so I will treat you as a friend and tell you clearly. I want to take back the command of the militia in western Henan. And I can also make it clear Let me tell you, within a year, I will make all the armed forces in western Henan disappear. I don’t care whether he is a bandit or a militia, including those who guard the house. No one of the forces is allowed to have more than ten rifles Armed. If anyone dares to have more than ten rifles armed, I will raid their home."

Duan Xun said with a smile, but Zheng Dang's heart beat faster.

What does this young man want to do?Some people in the Xin'an Chamber of Commerce were indeed unwilling to hand over the militia just like this, so they played a little trick.They can give the militia to Duan Xun, but many of the Xin'an militia are locals, and they can completely fight against Duan Xun by leaving the militia.

At that time, Duan Xun will nominally get the Xin'an Militia, but there may not be a few people left.

But now Duan Xun is not giving any room.Ten guns, no landlord in western Henan now has more than ten guns.After all, there are so many bandits in western Henan, how can they protect their family's property without weapons.Some big landlords have hundreds of guns and hundreds of guards.This is very common in western Henan.

Including many caravans, they all have their own guards.

Zheng Dang really didn't understand Duan Xun.

My elder brother has always said that Duan Xun is a well-mannered young man who is well-mannered.It is said that Duan Xun has a bright future, but how do I feel that Duan Xun is no different from those Qiu Ba?

so horizontal.

"Also, I'm short of money, but I'm not short of the fifty thousand silver dollars."

Looking at Duan Xun's smiling face, Zheng Dang felt chills all over his body.Fifty thousand silver dollars, such a large amount can't satisfy Duan Xun.This Duan Xun is too greedy.The Xin'an Chamber of Commerce is rich, but the money didn't just fall from the sky.Fifty thousand silver dollars is also a lot of money for the Xin'an Chamber of Commerce.After all, the Xin'an Chamber of Commerce is incomparable with the rich in Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Zhejiang.

Those rich people and business groups over there can afford hundreds of thousands or even millions of silver dollars, let alone tens of thousands of silver dollars, and they won't have too much burden.But this is Henan, how can Henan's economy compare with theirs.

"Mr. Zihao (Zheng Dang), tell me, what is the most profitable business in the world?"
