Chapter 186 Su Ye Slaps His Face Again and Presses On

Chapter 186 Su Yi slaps her in the face again! Pressing harder and harder!

The family came to Jiujiang.

Su He expressed that he felt very uncomfortable because the environment where he could brag was no longer there.

Although Su Yi is the eldest here, he has no place to show off. All his neighbors are gone, and his relatives from the banner people are not here either. He can't even find anyone to brag about.

Qingqing is very happy.

The mind is happy and so is the body.

Shen Baoer had no intention of competing for favor. Instead, he treated Qingqing as his wife because he was older than his younger sister.

Only when facing Hong Renli would she compete with him.

The happiest person was Su Quan.

He seemed to have completely found his own world.

Almost as soon as I got immersed in my work, I couldn’t extricate myself.

Therefore, Su Yi was left struggling.

According to his plan, he will hand over the management of these factories to four people in the future, Bai Yan, Hu Xueyan, and Bai Feifei.

Now that Su Quan is here, Su Yi finds that this brother is even more suitable to be a money manager.

In this case, Mr. Bai Yan will step down from the position of managing money.

But, how could Su Yi mention this matter.

Let nature take its course. Now let your brother do the trick for Senior Bai Yan.

After Chongen arrived, he was basically not at home anymore.

Go out every day and chat with people every day.

Sometimes, Shen Baozhen would accompany him.

Su Yi knew that Master Chongen was actually full of struggles in his heart.

On the one hand, he hated the court's incompetence.

On the other hand, he also vaguely felt that what Su Yi did was a bit treacherous.

So he was going to find an answer, an answer that would make him feel at ease.

Ever since, his whole body was still anxious.

……………………

In the study room.

Hong Renli came to report: "Sir, the Nian army has captured Qingjiangpu and cut off water transportation."

The early arrival of this day was completely bad news for the Qing court.

Su Yi said: "Did they attack Huai'an City?"

Hong Renli said: "Already gone."

Su Yi said: "You can go, but don't really attack Huai'an City. It will be difficult for them to capture it."

Huai'an City, where the governor's office of water transportation is located, is also a large city.

Hong Renli said: "We don't have that much control over him. Heigong led three thousand pirates to join him, and he ranks relatively low among this Nian army."

"It is even said that our influence on the Nian Army is not even as good as on the Taiping Army. At least two wise generals Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang will be very happy to cooperate when our goals are the same."

"And these Nian troops are completely unbridled wild horses. They can be induced, but they cannot be controlled."

Su Yi said: "That's enough. Wherever there is money and food, they will go."

Then, Hong Renli said: "You have too much daily work. I have brought you a talent who can be your female officer."

Su Yi was stunned.

"Come in." Hong Ren said.

After a while, a bright and charming woman with picturesque features walked in.

Su Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

This woman's appearance and temperament are almost the same as those of Hong people.

In fact, his temperament is similar to that of Shen Baoer, both from a scholarly family.

However, she is more beautiful and mature than Shen Baoer.

Shen Baoer is delicate and delicate, more in line with the traditional scholar-official aesthetic.

Su Yi immediately guessed the identity of this woman, Fu Shanxiang.

The female champion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The female officer and assistant next to Su Yi are all Shen Baoer's characters. Now Hong Renli has actually brought Fu Shanxiang here. He is bent on making trouble with Shen Baoer.

This woman's fighting thinking is also very clear.

She never wanted to fight Qingqing, and she never wanted to fight Bai Feifei.

He only focused on fighting against the Shen Baozhen family.

Because in his opinion, when Su Yi's career expands in the future, the Shen Baozhen clique and the Taiping Army clique will definitely become the biggest competitors.

She, Hong Renli, is only good at assassinations and espionage operations.

Lin Chang'er, this snow-white steamed bun, is so silly that she can be used as a pet but not used for fighting.

But Fu Shanxiang will definitely do it.

Not only was she the number one female scholar, but it was not easy for her to survive in such a cruel fighting environment in the East Palace.

Hong Renli's rescue also freed Fu Shanxiang from the sea of ​​suffering.

Previously, with the protection of King Dong, she was able to survive alone.

After the death of King Dong, her beauty and fame made her a coveted prey, making it almost difficult for her to control her own destiny.

Later, she found a way to enter the Heavenly King's Mansion to temporarily avoid the prey of these people below.

Because Hong Xiuquan had thousands of women, Fu Shanxiang found a high-status queen to seek refuge with him.

However, her strategy soon stopped working.

Because Hong Xiuquan was very interested in her.

As this queen was jealous, Fu Shanxiang's life became difficult again, and it could be said that it was full of dangers.

The harem struggle in the Qing Dynasty was very hidden and had rules.

The struggle in Hong Xiuquan's harem was more primitive and rough, and much more dangerous.

At this time, Hong Renli paid a heavy price to get Fu Shanxiang to fake his death.

It can be regarded as saving her life, otherwise she might have died in the bizarre harem battle in heaven.

"Greetings, sir." Fu Shanxiang stepped forward and said.

While being generous, there is also a hint of shyness.

Su Yi nodded, feeling a little dizzy all of a sudden, and said, "Shen Bao'er, I'll leave her to you for the time being."

Shen Baoer appeared and said, "Yes, sir."

Hong Renli glanced at Shen Baoer and stopped talking.

Shen Baoer immediately said to Fu Shanxiang: "Please follow me."

After the two girls left, Hong Renli said: "The Nian army has attacked Qingjiangpu, cut off water transportation, and is besieging Huai'an. The Qing court must be shocked. Do you think he will compromise with us?"

Su Yi said: "It's not enough!"

Hong Renli said: "So, our next big move cannot be stopped."

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Hong Renli asked: "When will it break out?"

Su Yi said: "Two opportunities. First, after Guiliang's negotiations in Tianjin are completed and the foreigners officially withdraw their troops, the imperial court will try its best to deal with us. They will even take risks and directly quarrel with each other, so we must rush Detonate the next move before they break up."

"Second, once the second action is triggered, many situations will get out of control. At that time, the safety of the Yangtze River waterway will become particularly important. Therefore, when Basiali returns to Jiujiang with the fleet, he will bring a group of powerful armed forces We need to carry out maximum modifications on the merchant ship to turn it into a gunboat that looks like a merchant ship and completely control the Yangtze River waterway. "

Hong Renli wrote: "After the negotiation between Guiliang and before the Qing government officially took action against us. After the arrival of the armed fleet led by Ba Xiali, is it right to be stuck at this time?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Hong Renli said: "Then I know, I can grasp the relevant timing."

Then, Hong Renli said: "But a little bit, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng have risen too fast, it is difficult for us to control these two people. Moreover, Hong Rengan really wants to return to Tianjing from Hong Kong. Once he arrives, he will take charge Lin Shaozhang may lose a lot of power in Tianjing's internal affairs, but we have already developed enough tacit understanding."

Su Yi knew that his control over the situation in Tianjing would change along with the changes in the internal power structure of Tianjing.

Su Yi said: "How about the two brothers Hong Renfa and Hong Renda?"

Hong Renli said: "These two losers are easy to deal with, but also very difficult to deal with."

These two losers are arrogant and greedy.

Su Yi said: "Use them well and squeeze out all their value."

"Yes!" Hong Renli said.

Then, she glanced at Su Yi and said, "Qingqing is back. Have you been squeezed dry now?"

We were having a good conversation about work, why did we suddenly start talking in a pornographic tone?

Then, Hong Renli suddenly lowered his trousers, revealing the two halves of the snow-white full moon.

Amazingly round.

Amazingly cocky.

"Look, the pants you designed for me, do they look good?"

Damn attractive.

Damn the visual impact.

Without waiting for Su Yi to take action, Hong Renli said seriously: "Sir, I'm going to run an errand."

Then, she immediately dressed up, covered up the beautiful scenery, and left directly.

It was as if nothing had happened.

After going out, Hong Ren said: "Master Shen."

Shen Baozhen said in the same respectful tone: "Master Hong, good afternoon."

"Commander, is he free at this time?" Shen Baozhen asked.

"I'm free," Hong Ren said.

Shen Baozhen came to the door and knocked gently.

"Come in!" Su Yi said.

Shen Baozhen held some documents and bent down to enter.

"My lord, three things!"

"The first thing is that the imperial envoy should increase his salary and change the water route to take the land route to Jiujiang. This route will be very difficult."

Once the canal is cut off, the imperial envoys to Jiangxi will have to make a long detour.

Going by land would be even more dangerous.

Because it has to pass through Anhui and Henan, and these two places have large-scale Nian troops.

Especially in Anhui, the Nian Army occupied an unknown number of towns.

Therefore, it will be increasingly difficult for the imperial court to convey its will to the south.

"But our secret service has been dispatched to protect Zenglu. In about ten days, he will go south via Hubei."

"The second thing is that there is information coming from the capital. There are a lot of unfavorable rumors about me in the capital. As the first year's dividend date for borrowing money from the people in the capital has come, we need to pay about one million taels of silver. And someone Spread rumors that our money has been spent, the factory has not been built at all, that the coffins of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital will be wasted, and that you have cheated money. This kind of public opinion attack is intended to destroy your political reputation. ”

"The third thing is, should we allocate these one million taels of bonus silver from the existing silver in stock? Or should we withdraw the cigarette agency silver from Tianjing in advance?"

This one million taels of silver must definitely be paid out.

Now Su Yi and the imperial court are fighting a battle for popular support and public opinion in the capital.

Now Su Yi has the upper hand.

Hundreds of thousands of people and other communities of interest.

Although many people say that this dividend does not need to be paid.

But if he really doesn't give it, Su Yi's political reputation will go bankrupt, and many people will be disappointed with Su Yi.

With the help of some people in the court, a huge public opinion will brew.

By then, it would be a matter of course for the imperial court to issue an order to remove Su Yi.

Shen Baozhen said two plans. The first plan is to pay the one million taels of dividends from the current inventory principal.

At this time, the 10 million taels were released from Liru Bank.

Su Yi paid a lot of money for raw materials and went to Southeast Asia twice to purchase them. Next, there is the payment for high-quality steel shipped from Europe and so on.

With this amount of money, more than a large maternity ward will be built, at least about five square kilometers.

They also have to pay the monthly wages and food expenses of tens of thousands of people.

Su Yi's more than 10 million taels of silver needed to open five factories and house hundreds of thousands of people, which was really stretched.

The Qing Dynasty was very poor, so the upfront investment in setting up a factory here was much greater than in the UK, because most things had to be shipped thousands of miles away, even high-end talents. Even tens of thousands of workers need to be trained in advance.

Therefore, the investment in one Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant exceeds 5 million. Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau successively invested 15 million taels. (I didn’t want to write this paragraph, but a benefactor raised a question before, so I added a paragraph)

Su Yi thought for a while and said: "The first plan is a bit of a violation of the rules. These ten million taels are the principal investment in five factories. After the British accounting team comes, they will review every transaction. All expenses have to go somewhere.”

"The second option is equivalent to overdrawing future profits in advance, which will make the subsequent statements very unsightly. It also violates the cooperation rules, which is equivalent to concealing part of the profit income."

Both options are unsound.

But this one million taels of silver must be paid. Compete with the imperial court for public support and public opinion.

After a while, Hu Xueyan said: "Sir, Shopkeeper Li from Rishengchang is here."

Shen Baozhen was about to leave.

Su Yi waved her hand and asked him to stay.

The second-in-command of Rishengchang, the largest bank account in the Qing Dynasty, walked in.

"I pay my respects to Master Futai." Shopkeeper Li bowed.

Su Yi said: "Shopkeeper Li, there is a war, is it okay to go on the road?"

Shopkeeper Li said: "I was a little frightened, but it finally went well."

Then, shopkeeper Li said: "I heard something in the capital that Mr. Futai is in a critical financial situation, and now he has to pay one million taels of silver to the people of the capital?"

Su Yi said: "There is such a thing."

Shopkeeper Li said: "Some important officials from the imperial court have talked to all of us in the bank, and they have only one idea. Our entire bank alliance will never lend you money. In addition, Guiliang is also conducting business in Tianjin and Elgin. After relevant negotiations, banks in Shanghai and Hong Kong are not allowed to lend you money.”

This information is very timely.

Because Hu Xueyan also planned to go to Shanghai to borrow a sum of money from the British Bank.

This man is also an expert at making money. Historically, Zuo Zongtang needed more than 10 million taels of silver in military expenses to quell the rebellion, most of which was borrowed by Hu Xueyan from foreigners.

But now that Eljin has issued a ban, it will be difficult for Hu Xueyan to go to Shanghai to borrow money.

In order to block Su Yi and ruin Su Yi's political reputation, the other party really spared no effort and even joined negotiations with the British.

Ri Shengchang's connections are so amazing that he even knows about the top-secret negotiations in Tianjin.

Shopkeeper Li said: "The last time you asked us to cooperate, it didn't work out. Then I went to learn about your factory. After staying in Shanghai for a while, I was immediately... amazed!"

"I have a plan. Why don't you listen to it and see if it's feasible?"

"I heard that your Excellency has also set up a bank account in Jiujiang. We, Rishengchang, want to invest 20% of the shares. As for the amount of the share capital, allocation by the shopkeeper, etc., we will discuss it later."

"In addition, regardless of whether this cooperation is successful or not. We, Rishengchang, are willing to lend you one million taels of silver, unconditional reception, three years, and no interest."

"Because we sincerely want to make friends with adults."

Awesome!

Seize the opportunity and brave the flames of war to provide help in times of need.

Su Yi said: "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Li. As for Rishengchang's investment in our Jiujiang Bank, I agree in principle. You can discuss the specific matters with Hu Xueyan."

Shopkeeper Li directly took out a money order for one million taels of silver and said: "Over in the capital, one million taels of cash have been prepared. You can send someone to receive it at any time."

……………………………………………………

Chongen found Su Yi.

"Xiaoyi, I want to return to the capital."

Su Yi was stunned and said, "Uncle, why?"

Chong En said: "You evacuated the whole family from the capital. Although it seems that you are morally responsible because people are constantly being assassinated and the court is protecting the murderers. But... the bottom line is still a bit false."

"You need a flag in the capital, and I am the right person to be that flag."

Su Yi said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, the Emperor hates you very much. You will suffer a lot when you come to Beijing."

Chongen said: "I wish I could suffer, so that I can win the hearts of the people and your morality."

"I find that I am not of much use in Jiujiang. I am not good at calculations and I am not proficient in internal affairs. I am of greatest use to you in the capital."

"Xiaoyi, you don't have to persuade me. Qingqing, I, and Eni have already talked about it."

"If a person's life is not needed and has no value, then it is a wasted time. Although he is alive, it is as if he is dead."

"I've decided!"

Then, Lord Chongen walked out directly.

……………………………………………

at this time!

Rumors in the capital are already abuzz.

As the dividend date gets closer.

The public opinion building momentum is getting more and more intense.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the capital originally felt at ease.

Now I am completely panicked.

He was worried that Su Yi would really spend all the money and the factory would not be started.

Although I got the land deed, I can't really go thousands of miles away to farm.

"Su Ye is completely free of charge. He defrauded you of several lifetimes of savings with a piece of paper."

"Your money is wasted."

"Wait, wait! If Su Yi's people don't show up by the time limit for dividend distribution and can't come up with the money to distribute the dividend, it will prove that your money has been cheated and you will never be able to get it out again."

The war of public opinion is getting more intense.

Moreover, the crowd surrounding Shuntian Mansion is getting larger and larger.

When asked, they all came to sue Su Yi and ask him to pay back the money.

But in fact, there were very few people here who actually lent money to Su Yi.

The power of tens of thousands of family letters is very powerful.

The basic base of people's trust and admiration for Su Yi is also very solid.

However, if Su Yi cannot pay dividends in time, there will be a big problem.

Countless people will feel cheated, and political reputation will really collapse.

At this time, there was someone in the court who was adding fuel to the fire.

It must lead to a huge mass incident in one fell swoop.

A huge public opinion accident, so that Su Yi can be convicted.

For this reason, Du Han and others repeatedly gave orders to the Qing Dynasty for their bank names and business names.

At this critical moment, no one is allowed to borrow money from Su Yi.

Anyone who dares to borrow it is going against the imperial court.

However……

It was at this time that Chongen and Hu Xueyan came to Beijing on behalf of Jiangxi Governor Su Yi.

Three hundred soldiers came with them, of course they were factory guards on the surface.

Because Master Chongen returned to Beijing in a relatively public manner, it immediately triggered a craze.

Many people who lent money to Su Yi found out and came in droves.

Finally, thousands of people surrounded Chongen.

Just on Chongwenmen Avenue.

Master Chongen simply moved a wooden platform and stood on it.

"Lord Chong'en, there are rumors that the first year's dividend will not be distributed."

"Lord Chong'en, there are rumors that Lord Su Yi has spent all the money he borrowed from us. Our money has all been wasted before the factory has been set up."

"Lord Chongen, they said that our money was just exchanged for a piece of useless white paper. Is it true or false?"

"Lord Chong'en, I believe Lord Su Yi, my son's letter will not lie. I don't want this dividend anymore."

"I don't want this dividend anymore."

"My nephew's letter won't lie. He is an official there."

"My nephew's dozens of acres of land have been cultivated by tenant farmers, so I don't want the dividends."

The crowd was noisy.

Half of the people were worried, fearing that their coffins would be in vain.

One-third directly stated that they did not want the dividend.

It can be seen from this that Su Yi's people in the capital are stable.

Chongen glanced at the whole audience and said loudly: "No! It's not okay if you don't want this money."

"If you don't want it, how can other fellow villagers have the nerve to want it?"

"Everyone should know the story about Zigong's redemption of people."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want the money, then my son Su Yi's reputation will be damaged, and his political reputation will be damaged."

"Of course, there may be changes regarding the duration of the dividend."

When everyone heard this, they wondered, is this going to be postponed?

Well, that's okay. As long as we can get dividends, it won't matter if we postpone it for a month or two. We believe Mr. Su Yi.

Chongen said loudly: "Because time is too tight and there are too many people! So the bonus distribution of silver was originally scheduled to be carried out in five days. I am afraid that there will be no time, so starting from tomorrow, the silver will be officially distributed."

"When we were borrowing money, everyone had a number on their bills, and 30,000 people came to line up every day."

"We will try to distribute all the money within four days, how great!"

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

This... this is not to postpone, but to distribute dividends and money in advance.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into cheers.

"Lord Su Yi is mighty!"

"Master Su Yi is victorious!"

"Gentlemen, next time you see someone saying that Mr. Su Yi cheated money, just slap him in the face, you know?"

"Yes, beat them half to death!"

"This is to destroy Master Su Yi, this is to destroy us!"

"Gentlemen, do you know? Right now, there are hundreds or even thousands of people surrounding Shuntian Mansion, wanting to sue Mr. Su Yi for defrauding him of money. But there are not many people there who are really borrowing money. They are all hired by treacherous ministers. Troublemaker."

"There are treacherous ministers in the court, and there is Qin Hui in the court, who wants to harm Yue Fei."

"Men, if you have the guts to do so, follow me outside Shuntian Mansion and beat those bastards to death!"

"Yes, beating those bastards to death made me unable to sleep or eat well these days. My father fell ill immediately after hearing the rumors and spent twenty taels of money on medicine."

"These bastards are going to kill us."

Then, a group of strong men rushed towards the exit of Shuntian Mansion with great momentum.

At this time, outside Shuntian Mansion, the hired gangsters were still shouting.

"Master Qingtian makes the decision. Su Yi defrauded my family of several lifetime savings. My grandfather can't bear it anymore and leaves."

"Su Yi ruined my family and wiped out several lifetimes of savings. Mr. Qingtian has the final say."

In a moment!

The real supporters of Su Yi rushed over.

He raised his fist high and struck hard.

"I'll beat you to death, you idiot. You come to my house every day and tell me that I've wasted all my money. It scared my dad to death."

"I'll beat you guys to death."

"Li San, you bastard, you spread rumors every day, causing me to lose my wife who was originally promised to me. I heard that my family's money went down the drain and she married someone else. I'll beat you to death!"

After the mass incident was magnified, it became a series of specific personal grudges.

Suddenly, the entire Shuntian Prefecture was in chaos.

Chongen said to the three hundred soldiers: "Go and mediate, separate them!"

With an order, the three hundred soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers to mediate.

Separate the two groups of people.

But as they were mediating, the group of hooligans who were hired to make trouble and slander Su Ye were directly knocked to the ground.

They screamed and howled, and were seriously injured.

Suddenly, the strong men who supported Su Ye on the other side were proud and surprised.

Are you so powerful?

In just a few moves, you knocked down these hooligans? And listening to their screams, they must be badly injured.

I'm afraid they have internal injuries. Men should be more restrained in the future, otherwise they will be sued.

Chongen said to the group of strong men: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go home!"

Because the Shuntianfu Yamen were coming to arrest people.

The soldiers brought by Chongen directly blocked them in the middle.

The group of strong men were startled, covered their faces, and ran around wildly. In a blink of an eye, they were scattered like birds and beasts.

They ran away without a trace.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor came out and said to Chongen with a cold face: "Lord Chongen, do you know what you are doing?"

Chongen said: "I know, I am trying to stop the fight, otherwise it will lead to bloodshed."

Shuntian Prefecture Governor said: "Aren't you afraid of angering the emperor again with this action?"

Chongen said lightly: "Someone tried hard to slander a frontier official, or a group of ruffians, but nothing happened. I sent people to stop the fight, but it happened?"

"Go ahead and sue, go ahead and impeach."

"I only say one thing, since I returned to Beijing alone, I have no intention of leaving alive."

"You want to take my life, and put me in the prison of the clan house, all is up to you."

"But please let me finish the silver before arresting me, I will surrender at home!"

After that, Chongen took Hu Xueyan and three hundred brothers and left for home!

………………………………………………

At this time, in Sanxi Hall.

The emperor's face turned blue and purple, and his hands trembled slightly.

Du Han and others below turned pale.

Two huge pieces of bad news.

The public opinion offensive they created in the capital was instantly torn apart with the return of Chong En.

Moreover, Su Ye immediately showed amazing appeal.

Thousands of strong men immediately rushed to the outside of Shuntian Prefecture and beat the hooligans who slandered Su Ye half to death.

For this public opinion attack, Du Han and others took great pains.

Hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized to surround Shuntian Prefecture. More people were mobilized to spread rumors.

Then, in terms of silver, Su Ye was completely blocked at home and abroad.

As a result, it was useless.

This net of public opinion was instantly shattered.

Su Ye's reputation, on the contrary, went up a level.

In comparison, this matter was nothing.

The six hundred miles of express from Huai'an was the fatal blow.

Qingjiangpu fell.

The warehouse was looted and the shipyard was burned down.

The Governor's Mansion of Nanhe was burned down.

Tens of thousands of Nian bandits are now attacking Huai'an City, the seat of the Governor's Office of the Grand Canal.

The military situation is urgent and precarious.

The lifeline of the Grand Canal and the Grand Canal is so important that there is no need to say more.

What should we do in this situation?

Who will save Huai'an? Who will repel the rebellion?

A moment later, Wang Chenggui entered and said, "Your Majesty, a new memorial from Su Ye, the governor of Jiangxi."

"He recommended Li Si as the prefect of Jiujiang, and begged Your Majesty to organize militia to expand the army to face the crisis in the south."

Submitting a memorial at this time?

Is this a public slap in the face? Is this forcing the court?

…………………………………………

Note: The second update is here, the last day, and there are 300 monthly tickets to the top 50. Do you want to rush?
