Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

Regarding the ownership of the Kaiping Coal Mine, Ye Rongguang only knew roughly.

Everyone's words are incomplete, and the authorities are even more confused.

However, Ye Rongguang was certain of one thing.

At that time, the Kaiping Mining Bureau, a coal mine in the undisputed territory of the Qing Dynasty, had to determine its ownership in a purely Western manner in a Western court decorated with robes, wigs, scales, and debates.

Regardless of the dynasty, any Chinese who still thinks they are Chinese will feel aggrieved after hearing this.

Now that Zhao Chuanxin has all the details, Ye Rongguang no longer thinks about whether this matter can be done in the end. Even if Zhao Chuanxin kills a few more culprits, it will be very satisfying.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Ye Rongguang would even want to drink a few drinks and express his feelings.

The Longqi incident made him extremely aggrieved.

Not long after, the soldier came back with a stack of paper.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the fountain pen he carried with him and handed it to De Cuilin: "You know the Kaiping Mine and related industrial structures, you write the agreement. I am the same as Zhang Yi, I won't even look at it after you finish writing, and just sign it .”

After saying that, he got up and kicked Zhang Yi's body, which was so cold...

Ye Rongguang was so happy, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on him in the dog days of summer.

At first, Zhang Yi, a second-rate idiot, signed without even looking at it. He was deceived by De Cuilin and Hu Hua without even realizing it. Later, when he found out that he had been deceived, he just lay down and accepted the benefits.

Now Zhao Chuanxin bluntly said that he signed the agreement without reading it, just like Zhang Yi at the time, but Ye Rongguang knew that if this guy dared to do something fishy, ​​he would definitely end up worse than Zhang Yi.

Sure enough, De Cuilin was extremely nervous and wiped the sweat from her forehead repeatedly: "Mr. Zhao, this, this, writing the sale agreement and the transfer agreement requires original documents to capture the secrets, an asset list, and a shareholder list. As far as I know , small shareholders include celebrities like Morrison, the chief reporter of The Times, and they all need to hand over their equity, otherwise we will lose our shareholder support..."

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "What is Li Hongzhang saying? All previous agreements are null and void. I will write that all the existing assets of Kaiping Coal Mine will be transferred to my name. All previous equity interests will be null and void. Quan will treat their investment as a failure. I bought the mine just to put it there and look good without any help from others..."

De Cuilin and Wei Ying were speechless.

De Cuilin continued: "But without the recognition of the British consul and the signature of Governor Yuan of Zhili, the effectiveness of this agreement..."

"I, Zhao Chuanxin, put these three words on my desk, which is the king's law!"

Ye Rongguang looked sideways when he heard this.

De Cuilin stopped talking nonsense and started writing.

Wei Ying looked on with cold eyes.

In Yushengxuan, there was only the rustle of pens and dragons and snakes.

But the gossip is already flying.

First, the news that a Chinese killed and insulted foreigners in the first-class carriage of the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway spread before the train arrived at Shanhaiguan.

Countless telegrams were sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing court. Many countries protested at the same time and demanded that the Qing court hand over the murderer immediately.

Secondly, at the entrance of Tangshan Town Yamen, in Yushengxuan, news spread that Zhizhou Ye Rongguang and Wei Ying, the current person in charge of Kaiping Mine, were trapped by thieves.

At this time, the Qing court's government offices were leaking information from all sides, and the news was quickly passed to the British garrison.

Since the signing of the Treaty of Xinchou, the great powers have stationed heavy troops in major concessions and coastal cities, as well as along important railway lines, especially along the Tianjin-Weihe-Jingshi Railway.

There are a large number of British troops stationed nearby.

The news was passed to the Kaiping mining area, and British engineers soon contacted the local garrison.

The local garrison was already on alert because they had received news that a British man had been killed on the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway.

The local British garrison immediately dispatched a large team and marched towards Yushengxuan.

At the same time, Aixinjueluo Yikuang was also in a state of distress.

Envoys from various countries in Beijing united to request a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for an explanation.

But currently Aixinjueluo Yikuang knows nothing about who the murderer is.

Immediately afterwards, he received a telegram from Luanzhou, saying that the prefect Ye Rongguang and Wei Ying of Kaiping Mine were detained.

Aixinjueluo Yikuang slumped on the chair and rubbed his presbyopic eyes: "It's a troubled year, it's a troubled year... I have to report this to Lafayette."

Since the Gengzi Rebellion was suppressed, in recent years, only a few people have been bold enough to make trouble.

If things happened in the south, Cixi would be the first to think of Sun Gongwu.

But the farce happened near the capital, so there was no need to think about it. Cixi smashed the tea bowl to pieces, holding her chest and breathing heavily: "Traitor, Zhao Chuanxin's thief who was so beaten that he didn't even have a few ounces of flesh left, must be him! "

Aixinjueluo Yikuang: "..."

Don't say it, you really don't say it... After Cixi's prodding, he also felt that it must be Zhao Chuanxin who did it.

Aixinjueluo Yikuang pondered: "Old Buddha, if not, will you directly tell the world that the murderer is passing on Zhao's salary?"

If it's Zhao Chuanxin, then that's fine. If not, then put the shit basin on Zhao Chuanxin's head to divert the attention of the great powers.

Just like when Japan and Russia fought a war outside the customs, the Qing government sat back and watched and felt complacent that it had taken advantage. The same is true now.

When Cixi heard this, she said, "Okay, let them make trouble, and that's it!"

The "Outline of the Constitution" recently approved by the Qing court has aroused fierce public opinion, because it not only failed to implement the constitutional monarchy that everyone expected, but instead consolidated the imperial power...

Cixi was unwilling to wipe Zhao Chuanxin's butt, as her own mess still needed to be resolved.

If we say that the approval of the "Outline of the Constitution" has caused waves, it has already extended to Japan.

The Sun Gongwu camp founded the "Min Bao" in Japan.

Since the publication of "Min Bao", it has been quarreling with the reformist newspaper "Xin Min Cong Bao" headed by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao.

"Min Bao" advocated republicanism, while "Xinmin Congbao" advocated autocracy.

"Min Bao" advocated the establishment of a constitution based on civil rights, while "Xin Min Cong Bao" advocated an enlightened and authoritarian government.

The two sides exchanged words and the fight was fierce.

Because "Min Bao" was founded in Japan, there were actually people in Sun Gongwu's camp who saw Japan's ambition to invade China and published an article exposing it, which was banned once. Although the matter was not mentioned directly again later, it was alluded to.

Japan has long been dissatisfied with this. Recently, because the Qing court approved the "Outline of the Constitution" to consolidate imperial power, the writer of "Min Bao" immediately became angry and ridiculed. The debate between the two sides reached an unprecedented peak.

"Min Bao" began to radically advocate assassination, while "Xinmin Congbao" opposed assassination.

Japan directly banned "Min Bao" on the pretext of advocating assassination.

The approval of the "Outline of the Constitution", a trend that went against the times, also blew to the northwest.

Qi Zhenlu put down the newspaper and said angrily: "Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, I have to start preparations."

His younger brother Qi Zhenhai was beside him but hesitated to speak.

Li Feihu was still a little confused: "Why does this "Outline of the Constitution" make Fei Qing so angry?"

"The establishment of a constitutional monarch has become a mirror image, and the corrupt officials in Liangzhou will only get worse. Now the only way to control corruption is to use violence." Qi Zhenlu calmed down his anger and explained to him.
