    Nearly an hour later, Liu Yunping returned to Liu Zhiping, holding the book in his hand. Liu Zhiping glanced at the book and nodded slightly to Chen Zaixing.  Chen Zaixing took the booklet and handed it to Jiang Zhiqing who was standing aside. He bowed his hands to the rice merchants and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke's surname is Chen Zaixing, and his courtesy name is Fusheng. He is from Hanjing, Shunhua Company, which imports Burmese rice."  I am the chairman of the board. From now on, you and I will be a family. Please forgive me if I have offended you before!" At this point, Chen Zaixing took the cup of tea presented by Jiang Zhiqing: "I didn't prepare well today.  I'll apologize to you all with tea instead of wine. Three days later, Xiao Ke will occupy the top floor of Deyue Building. Please be sure to show your respect!" At this point, Chen Zaixing drank the tea in one gulp.  After being tossed around for a long time, the rice merchants were still in the mood to talk to Chen Zaixing, so they bowed their hands and said goodbye without saying anything. Liu Zhiping was nearly sixty years old, and he was a little tired after all the hard work, so he would go to rest.  Suddenly, only Chen Zaixing and Jiang Zhiqing were left in the house.  Chen Zaixing took the booklet from Jiang Zhiqing, flipped through two pages, and said with a smile: "Zhiqing, do you think this matter is going well?" Jiang Zhiqing followed Chen Zaixing this time and saw that he was behind the scenes, whether it was Hanking  The big officials who came here were all from the intricate rice trade guild, and they were all manipulated by him. They were already extremely impressed and responded quickly: "My master is very clever. Seeing that the Shanghai Grain Market is already in the pocket of the adults, the villain  I'm really impressed. " "It's nothing, it's just taking advantage of the situation and getting twice the result with half the effort!" Chen Zaixing walked to the coffee table and sat down and suddenly asked: "Zhiqing, I remember you are from Shanghai?" "  Let me tell you, I am from northern Jiangsu, but I fled to Shanghai when I was only three years old, so I can be considered a Shanghainese!" "That's it!" Chen Zaixing nodded: "The ancients said, 'If you don't return home if you are rich, you will travel at night like a rich man!'  You have worked under me for more than three years, and you are doing things well. I can't stay in Shanghai for a long time. You are also a local and familiar with the situation. I will leave the Shanghai rice shop to you this time!" Jiang Zhiqing!  Hearing this, he was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your cultivation, Master!" "Get up!" Jiang Zhiqing stood up and whispered: "Young people are very humble, so please give me some advice." "These rice merchants are all old people.  Now that you are in business, you don¡¯t need to worry about the actual business. In fact, the main thing is to take care of two things. The first is to ensure that more than 60% of the rice in these rice shops comes from us; the second is to ensure that more than 60% of the rice in these rice stores comes from us;  Check their accounts frequently to prevent them from playing tricks. If these two points are stuck, you won't be afraid of these Ningbo guys playing tricks. " "Yes, sir, you must be careful when doing business!" "Also, Shanghai.  It is the economic center of Dashun. You should move around here more and sort out the big and small things here and the prices of important commodities every Friday, and send them via telegram. I will be useful! " " Yes, I will do it well, little one! " Shanghai  The government envoy's office.  It is already the first watch, but the Green Yan Pavilion where Hu Keqin and Shen Hongmao live is still brightly lit.  In the room, Hu Keqin, Shen Hongmao, and Zhang Zhicheng sat opposite each other, all with sad faces, and they sat speechless.  Hu Keqin suddenly sighed: "Hey, I came here originally to raise money, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. Needless to say, now I can't raise money, and I can't even appease one party. I really feel ashamed of the emperor and the emperor."  "The Queen Mother!" Zhang Zhicheng hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Master Hu, don't say that. At least the factory has basically opened now, and Factory Owner Huang has sold a lot of rice. The situation has finally stabilized a lot, sir."  You'd better not be too worried!" After hearing Zhang Zhicheng's words, Hu Keqin's face became a little brighter and nodded: "That's right, otherwise I might not be able to see Her Majesty the Queen Mother when I go back this time.  This yellow factory owner has come up with so much rice to solve our urgent needs. We must praise him and set an example!" "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I will remember it!" While the two were talking, there was a rush from outside!  With the sound of footsteps, a servant came in, presented a letter, and whispered: "There is a letter, it is for Mr. Shen!" Shen Hongmao was stunned, took the letter, opened it, and frowned slightly.  Hu Keqin asked at the side: "Mr. Shen, how come someone is sending you a letter so late?" "Mr. Hu, please read it!" Shen Hongmao handed the letter over. Hu Keqin took the letter and read it, and his brows immediately widened.  "What? Those rice merchants agreed to reduce the price? Great, is this letter written? Eh? Why is it not signed? Is someone playing tricks on us?" Hu Keqin raised his head and asked.  "No, it should be true!" Shen Hongmao's face turned ugly: "I recognize this handwriting. It was written by Chen Fusheng himself." "Chen Fusheng? He"How can we get rice merchants to lower their prices?  Didn¡¯t he go to Burma to become a royal husband?  Why is he meddling in everything?  "Hu Keqin asked in surprise. "I don't know too well, but didn't he say last time that he came to Shanghai to do grain import business and asked us to lift the grain import ban? In my opinion, it happened this time.  He was causing trouble behind his back.  "    "well!  "Hu Keqin sighed: "I'm getting older and I don't understand these things anymore.  Now that the matter of reducing rice prices has been accomplished, the next step is the matter of national debt. Let us finish this matter as soon as possible and return to Hanking!  " "Yes, Mr. Hu!"  "Shen Hongmao stood up, but looked at the night sky outside the window. He didn't know what he was looking at. Hanking. Wenyuan Pavilion. "Sir, this is the third urgent letter asking for money this week!  "Jiang Qingyue sat in front of the writing desk, looking at the documents in front of her. Her two beautiful thin eyebrows were almost twisted into a few characters. "It's no wonder that Mr. Zao is so anxious, the military situation  It has been almost a month since the Japanese invaded Ryukyu, but they only have less than 4,000 soldiers in Taiwan, and there are not ten ships, but only two iron-clad ships. If it were me, I would be very anxious!  " "The longer the time, the more disadvantageous it becomes. The deeper the Japanese roots are in Ryukyu, the greater the possibility of foreign intervention.  It took Mr. Zao less than six days to get from Hanking to Taiwan, but when he arrived in Taiwan, he could only wait because he had no money.  This cannot continue.  "Jiang Qingyue stood up and said, "You can help me take care of this place. I'll go find Lin Niangniang to discuss it!"  "    "yes!  " Jiang Qingyue left Wenyuan Pavilion, got on the Chengyu, and went all the way to Lin Wanqing's residence. When she arrived at the residence, she asked someone to tell her. After a while, she heard laughter coming from inside: "Sister Jiang family,  What kind of wind has brought you here today? Come in quickly. What else are you spreading among your family?  "While speaking, Lin Wanqing had already walked out of the door with a happy face. She grabbed Jiang Qingyue and pulled her inside: "Come in quickly, it's windy outside!  " Jiang Qingyue stepped to the side unaccustomedly, and slightly distanced herself from the other party: "Your Majesty, I came here tonight to discuss Ryukyu with your Majesty.  " "Oh, it's about Ryukyu!  The smile on Lin Wanqing's face faded: "Then come in and talk!"  " After the two of them entered the house, Lin Wanqing asked the maids to leave the house and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter? There are changes in Ryukyu?  " "Look, this is Mr. Zao's telegram!  Jiang Qingyue handed over the telegram: "This is the third telegram this week. Mr. Zao seems to be very anxious!"  " Lin Wanqing also heard the implication of Jiang Qingyue's words. She looked at the telegram and said: "Are you saying that I am afraid that there will be many nights and long dreams, and that a third party will intervene?  " Mr. Zao didn't say it directly in the telegram, but I felt that he was also in the army. He had a lot of dealings with Western devils in Annan and Burma. He has more experience in these matters than us. He sends out three contents a week.  The telegrams are almost identical, which can only show what he is worried about. We all know the Japanese soldiers and ships, and Mr. Zao also knows that there is no need to do this.  " Lin Wanqing nodded: "You make sense, what do you mean?  " "Hurry up and send the troops and ships to Mr. Hayao to understand the situation in Ryukyu. Otherwise, if things get serious, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!  "Jiang Qingyue's last three words were pronounced very hard. "But whether you want soldiers or ships, you need money, and it's not small money. It costs at least three million taels from the beginning.  Lin Wanqing showed a troubled look: "The cabinet is in charge of money matters. Mr. Hu has already gone to Shanghai, but -" "Mother, we can't delay it any longer!"  Jiang Qingyue's tone increased: "The problem in Ryukyu cannot be delayed. We would rather give in to domestic matters first, get the money and understand the affairs in Ryukyu, and then go back to deal with the country."  Lin Wanqing quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind and nodded: "You're right, but you and I have said a lot about this matter. Let's find an opportunity to discuss it with Mr. Wang tomorrow!"  " "Mother, no!  "Jiang Qingyue suddenly reached out and grabbed the other party's arm: "Master Zao's telegram will never be sent only to us, it must also be sent to him, but why doesn't he even make any move now?  "Thank you to book friend stainless_lotus for the tip. There will be another update tonight! "What do you mean -?  " "Either Wang Xianggong has nothing he can do, or he has a method and he doesn't want to use it!  The only plan now is to overthrow the cabinet!  " "Yi Xiang, overthrow the cabinet?  Lin Wanqing's face changed drastically: "Sister, are you kidding me?"  " "Mother, if something big happens in Ryukyu, Mr. Wang will definitely step down as prime minister, but it will be too late to say anything at that time.  Ryukyu is located at a hub, and the Japanese are wild and wild.??, I have trained troops and built ships over the years, and I don¡¯t know what his intentions are. This time is just a test. If he succeeds, I¡¯m afraid we will have troubles in the southeastern sea area from now on!  " Lin Wanqing hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "Sisters from the Jiang family, it's not that my sister is unwilling to help, it's just that we are too big at this time. Although we have power, we are in a low position. Wang Xianggong is the minister of the imperial court, and the Queen Mother is  I have great trust in him. Although what you just said is reasonable, it is just your conjecture. Based on these, you will be dismissed. I am afraid that you will not be able to get through with the Queen Mother!  "
