As soon as Zhilin was arrested like this, Zhilin's father, Jing Lian, the Minister of Military Aircraft, was simply mad, and he wrote several excerpts to impeach Xuan Hongtao several times a day, and even mentioned the matter of General Xuan Yuemeng many times.Cixi didn't know that there was such a person as Xuan Yuemeng, and there was such a person as Xuan Hongtao, Cixi knew, but after a few months, the name of a small official who was not in the stream had already been blurred.Go to the study, behind the curtains.Cixi put Jing Lian's fold aside.Cixi was a little impatient, but her expression was still calm, and ordinary people had no way to see the change in Cixi's expression: "How did you offend the foreigners a few days ago, didn't Li Hongzhang just quell the burning of the leased warehouse, what are the things, the ground in Tianjin is indeed chaotic, why is there an accident at both ends of the three days" Jing Lian hurriedly added fuel and vinegar to the matter of Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Hongtao, naturally it was necessary to say that Xuan Hongtao was the person who was picked up by Li Hongzhang, and Xuan Yuemeng was the son of Xuan Hongtao, He is also a director of the Board of Directors of the American Concession.Prince Gong Yixun stood expressionlessly, and secretly said that this Jing Lian is stupid, and said in his heart that you don't mention foreigners, this matter is easier to do, you said that the child named Xuan Yuemeng is the director of the Foreigner Board of Directors, how can the Empress Dowager of the West support you Sure enough, as Yixun expected, Cixi heard that it was about foreigners, and after a pause, she said: "Since it is something related to foreigners, let it be handed over to Li Hongzhang to do, now in the court, to deal with foreigners, it is still Li Hongzhang to be old-fashioned." ”After Cixi finished speaking, she looked at Yixun.Jing Lian wiped his sweat and glanced at Prince Gong Yixun, originally expecting Yixun to speak for himself, but who knew that the prince would not say a word.Jing Lian stubbornly said: "Queen Mother Mingjian, Li Hongzhang's side, the minister has already sent someone to ask, quite a bit of a subordinate to protect the subordinates, that Xuan Yuemeng's father is on an errand in the Beiyang Yamen." ”Cixi: "I sound a little confused, how could Li Hongzhang's people go to the concession to do things" Jing Lian had to repeat what he had just said.also focused on explaining that Xuan Yuemeng is a prodigy and has been able to write foreign since she was a child.Cixi finally owed her body, and with a slight expression, she glanced at the Empress Dowager Ci'an beside her.Looking back at Jing Lian, he said curiously: "Oh, there is such a child, this is fresh, foreigners are also strange, they would let a child less than a year old become a director of the Board of Directors, this child also arrested your son, I am tired."

The emperor is also tired, if this matter is not urgent, let's talk about it in a few days, turn around and ask Li Hongzhang what he said" Jing Lian heard the Queen Mother say that he couldn't leave Li Hongzhang, and his heart was half cold.Until Xuan Yuemeng released Zhilin, Jing Lian did not play any role in Beijing.said that Xuan Yuemeng dared to catch Zhilin, so he didn't take Zhilin and his father Jinglian in his eyes.However, if you don't put it in your eyes, you don't care about it, as a cultivated child, Xuan Yuemeng still has to send him off on the day Zhilin is released from prison.Zhilin's two eye circles are like pandas.Blackened, blackened.Xuan Yuemeng sat in the carriage, looked at Zhilin who was hobbling out of the Meiyu Hunting House, and said with a smile: "Yo, this is not Lord Zhilin, I haven't been to the concession for a few days, how did my lord become like this" Zhilin glanced at Xuan Yuemeng listlessly, there was no fierce light, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and it seemed that it was difficult to even open them.Xuan Yuemeng smiled and asked the vigorous beside him: "You didn't inform the good brother Shouchuan of Lord Zhilin, who was in the Yamen of Bingbei Dao, why didn't anyone come to pick up Lord Zhilin, didn't the family members of Lord Zhilin come to Lord Zhilin, you are too a failure, you are out of prison."

Your family and friends don't come to pick you up, there is no one" Of course Zhilin's family came, but the house slaves didn't dare to come to the American Concession anymore, last time Xuan Yuemeng did away several personal slaves that Zhilin had used for many years at one time.A few of them this time.I only dared to wait honestly outside the US Concession, where did I dare to run to the US Concession to Zhilin and glanced at Xuan Yuemeng slowly, and did not dare to say anything cruel, but continued to walk slowly outside the US Concession.Not to mention that you can walk.Xuan Yuemeng looked at Zhilin's back, knowing that the struggle with these stubborn old factions in China was far from over, and the struggle with the Canal Gang, a local snake gang, was far from over, so he was more cautious and smiled vigorously: "Young Master, this time you can take a breath" Xuan Yuemeng: "It's a pity that he didn't want his life, this person will retaliate sooner or later." ”Zhang Decheng: "Young master, I want to do him" Xuan Yuemeng glanced at Zhang Decheng, "You are sure" Zhang Decheng shook his head: "This person's skills are too good, I am not sure, and since he is a high-ranking official, there will be no less followers." ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then don't do anything first, so as not to startle the snake, and besides, we just released him, if we move him now, it is easy for people to think of us." ”Zhang Decheng: "I know, young master." ”Xuan Yuemeng: "You and Kui Heng prepare, they have a canal gang, we also have to get a gang, you and Kui Heng secretly organize one, we are here Yongding River, I think it can be called Yongding Gang, after all, those things that are not visible are inconvenient for foreign banks and patrol houses to do." ”Zhang Decheng said in surprise: "Young master, don't worry, this is our old business, Kui Heng and I are outside, even if we are killed, the young master's name will not be exposed." ”Xuan Yuemeng waved his hand and motioned for them all to step back, he wanted to think about things alone.Xuan Yuemeng knew that with the heart of a person like Zhilin, the next move would be even more despicable and ruthless Xuan Yuemeng didn't expect that the foreigners would start to send him a move at this time, Timothy Li came to Xuan Yuemeng in a hurry: "Young Master Meng, Timothy Li originally liked to call Xuan Yuemeng Mr.

Yuemeng, but now people in the American Concession, and even everyone who knows Xuan Yuemeng calls Xuan Yuemeng Young Master Meng, and Timothy Li also changed his words, it seems that Young Master Meng is already Xuan Yuemeng's fixed name, The three words of Young Master Meng resounded throughout the land of Zhili within a few months.If the second batch of building materials we ordered in Germany does not arrive smoothly, the construction period will have to come to a standstill. ”Xuan Yuemeng was slightly startled, although she probably guessed what was going on, and guessed that it was likely to be related to the British and French, she still waited for Timothy Lee to tell the details.Timothy Lee explained: "Master Meng, our steel building materials are all imported from Germany.Germany's trade with Asia was small, there were no separate transport routes, and the German foreign companies relied on Britain and France to transport goods.At present, Asia-Europe shipping is completely controlled by Britain and France. ”Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, he ignored such an important aspect of transportation, and he was very angry, originally for most of the building materials to be transported from Germany, he felt that it was not cost-effective.This is at your fingertips in modern times, and now everything from engineers to materials needs to be bought from abroad, cost, freight, squeezing out a lot of his profits, even if it is such a high cost, there are still problemsXuan Yuemeng: "Isn't there any other country shipping so many countries doing business in Asia" Timothy Lee: "Yes, it is not as large as Britain and France, and Britain and France have reached agreements with major European countries.Since it is done in a decentralized manner, it is better to do it in a centralized manner, and the cost is low, and slowly there is an international public price, and other countries will no longer compete with Britain and France in shipping, and slowly Britain and France will monopolize Europe's maritime trade with Asia. ”Xuan Yuemeng sweated, "Then why didn't they transport us for us, you asked" Timothy Lee nodded, "I have already informed the German Consulate and the American Consulate, and the German Consulate and the American Consulate have also contacted the British Consulate, and they have found all kinds of excuses to delay."

However, our construction period is so tight and the funds are so insufficient, we must rely on building a part of it and selling a part of it to make a profit.If the work is stopped because of the lack of supply of building materials, I believe that by that time, the British and French concessions will not be accustomed to the foreign companies of our Klinsmann foreign firm, and they will definitely spread rumors everywhere, which will be very unfavorable to our situation" Xuan Yuemeng was a little anxious.This is a certain thing, as a new foreign bank, it has developed so fast, which makes all parties very vigilant.Xuan Yuemeng: "Keep looking for the German consulate, make a strong statement, let them solve the transportation problem, and unite the buyers in Germany to put pressure on the German government, do they not do business" Timothy Lee sighed, "Ocean shipping is not said to be done immediately, Germany's starting time is still very short, shipping is not developed, and when Germany solves the ocean shipping problem, our Klinsmann foreign company has been crushed by them." ”Xuan Yuemeng slapped his right hand with his left hand, Nima, what is this called, China is backward, so he has to raise the cost to buy goods from Germany, and now even Germany seems to be so backward in front of Britain and France, backward will be bullied, which country is the same, Britain and France are now relying on their economic advantages and early starts, bullying people in Thorn Guoguo.Xuan Yuemeng: "Let the German Consulate and the U.S.

Consulate send a note to the consulates on this incident and let everyone comment on it, is it possible for Britain and France to suppress the trade of other countries so shamelessly by holding the advantage of ocean shipping, and tell the U.S.

Consulate and the German Consulate that if they don't help us solve the problem, we will call their big newspapers in China to disclose the unfair treatment of foreign banks in China." ”Timothy Li sighed: "I'll go immediately, but, Master Meng, it doesn't mean to have much effect, don't you often like to say that it's none of your business, and the British and French are only targeting our foreign firm, not the German and American business circles, I believe that Germany and the United States will not pay attention to it all at once, and when they pay attention to the problem of our foreign firm, it is estimated that our Klinsmann foreign firm no longer exists."

As for other countries, they will not care about the affairs of a foreign foreign firm. ”Xuan Yue said angrily: "You emphasize the importance of this matter to the German Consulate and the American Consulate, especially the German Consulate, we have German nationality, tell them that if we Klinsmann and the Foreign Company are squeezed out by Britain and France like this, the loss of the economic strategy of the entire Far East will be immeasurable.""

Okay, Young Master Meng, I'll do it right away.The difficulty in this matter lies in time, and it is obviously the only way we can use it through diplomatic means, and I believe that it can be solved, but if we delay our construction period, by the time the ocean shipping problem is solved, it will be meaningless for us. ”Xuan Yuemeng: "It's really not okay to wait for only one way by sea, hurry up and contact Russia to see if you can urgently order a batch of materials from Russian iron and steel companies, and you must not let the construction period stagnate." ”Timothy Lee shook his head, "Mr.

Yuemeng, I have thought about this problem, on the one hand, Russia's industrial base is too poor, and it will be too late for a while and a half, and even if the products obtained are urgently produced, the quality will not reach half of the German products, on the other hand, the materials we are now under are made in Germany, and the German engineers are very rigorous.In addition, from land transportation, even if Russia is very close to the Qing Dynasty, the freight rate is at least ten times higher than that of sea transportation, and then our profit margins will not only be gone, but we will have to pay a lot of money, and it will be too late in time, and it will be impossible to transport land from Europe to China.So, there is only sea freight, this one way. ”Xuan Yuemeng's heart was very anxious, and she nodded helplessly, "You go get busy first, I'll think about it again."

It seems that the only way to buy goods from Germany is to find a way, and it must also be by sea.How can we let Britain and France lift the blockade and suppression of our Klinsmann foreign company" Timothy Lee shook his head, and said as he walked out: "It's very difficult, before the Franco-Prussian War, the relationship between Germany and Britain and France was very poor, let alone after the Franco-Prussian War, and this time it was Britain who picked the head, Britain is the most powerful country in the Far East, with the strength of one country, against our small foreign company, alas, and now Germany seems to be actively repairing relations with Britain and France, It is also unlikely that we will do against Britain and France for the sake of our small foreign firm, we are too small in their eyes. ”After Timothy Li left, Xuan Yuemeng only felt dizzy, this is indeed an unsolvable problem, grab meat with others, it is destined to be ready to fight with others, the force is too weak, the strength is too weak, and there is no capital to go to war with anyone Xuan Yuemeng was completely stumped Xuan Yuemeng drew on the paper, Britain, France, Germany, materials, a few words, no clue.If you want to expect Britain and France to suddenly be generous and help the US concession to carry out construction, it must be a fantasy, but Xuan Yuemeng knows that the hot diplomacy of the Germans, if this matter can be raised from the perspective of the country to the height of a national-level event, there will be no turnaround, but how can they turn the small things of their foreign banks into major events at the national or even international level Xuan Yuemeng sat alone in the office, holding her head in pain, and fell into contemplation.t1706231537:
