20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 66
Xiaoxiguan Street, Woyun Tower.

Han Ce dismissed the maid, closed the door, and recounted to his uncle exactly what he had seen and heard in front of the Governor's Mansion.

Zhou Yunfu coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with blood. Then he quickly lay down on the wicker chair, took two puffs of cigarette, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Haha, they think I'm dirty!"

"When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. If you put down your bowls and chopsticks, you will scold your mother!" Han Ce also echoed angrily, "It's really unreasonable! When General Zhao opened the port in Fengtian, we did our best, but now we are considered an eyesore. Got it!"

"Nephew, this moment, that moment!" Zhou Yunfu said thoughtfully.

It turns out that after the "Mao-Ghost War" ended, the entire outside the pass was devastated.Among them, the war in Fengtian Province was the most tragic.

Although the Qing government took back Guanwai as it wished, what it took over was a post-war scorched land where all industries were ruined and dilapidated.

The imperial court then appointed Zhao Rufeng as General Shengjing to manage the affairs of the three provinces.

General Zhao was born in Tieling - if nothing else, how could he be an ordinary person based on this place of birth?
General Zhao himself is an important official of the "New Deal". Everywhere he goes, he must reform the old and establish the new. When he came to Fengtian, after inspection, he still said the same thing - "If you don't establish the new and remove the old, you can't survive"!
Let's start!

This new policy layout is really drastic!

Seeing the completion of the Manchuria Railway, the Jing-Feng, An-Feng and other branch lines, and the support of the "Three Liaonan Ports", with both land and water, it is unreasonable to open ports on the other side.Therefore, the territory was demarcated, starting from Shili Wharf in the south, to Huangsi Avenue in the north, from the inner city in the east, to the railway in the west. Each of the four boundaries was marked with a Chun as a public trade port in Huayang.

It also set up a commercial port bureau to open a Wanguotong shopping mall, and then formed a joint venture with the Japanese to operate horse-drawn railways to facilitate commerce.

I thought it was a good idea, but when I asked the court for funding - hey, no money!

Not even 20 taels!
So who is Lafayette?It's true that women are really happy when they throw their white money into the lake and listen to it!
The imperial court does not allocate funds, so General Zhao can only raise money locally. The people have been devastated by war and cannot withstand the torment, so officials and gentry can figure it out for themselves!

Zhou Yunfu's old fox nature would naturally not let go of this opportunity to "curry favor with the powerful in the name of saving the nation."

Opening a trade port is not a small sum of money. Measuring, constructing, and collecting residential real estate are just a small amount of money in the eyes of the court. But in Zhou Yunfu's case, half of the family's wealth was poured into it. As soon as the money was received, General Zhao patted his butt. Withdrawn.

During the restructuring outside the customs, Mr. Xu was appointed as the governor. He planned to build Fengtian as he wished, and he paid no attention to Zhou Yunfu.

Han Ce saw this scene in front of his eyes, but he didn't care that his uncle's family business was originally from a heretical and erratic background. He just felt resentful and unwilling to accept it.

"Uncle, you...no, I mean, are we being fooled?"

"You think I'm being fooled?"

Zhou Yunfu shook his head helplessly, he really hated the fact that iron cannot become steel!
"No...that's not what I meant!" Han Ce did not dare to question his uncle, but he did have other ideas. "But, we have done so much to help General Zhao and spent a lot of money, not to mention whether we can make money. Now You didn’t even make a profit out of shouting, so you’re still a bit of a loser, right?”

Zhou Yunfu closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "Oh, I wish I had a son."

"Uncle, you...you said that I can't take on the trouble, but I listen to your advice. If you have anything to say, just say it and I'll do it!"

"Why do you think we helped General Zhao?" Zhou Yunfu couldn't help but ask, "He wants to raise money to open a commercial port. Besides providing money, what else can we do? Challenge him?"

Han Ce is not exactly a stupid roe deer, but he always sits in a well and looks at the sky with a leaf blinded by a leaf. He is like a blind man, splitting corns, splitting a stick, and throwing a stick. He only looks at what is in front of him and does not think comprehensively.

Now that I heard what my uncle said, I thought about it again, yes!
They have no choice at all!
"Uncle, what should we do now?"

"Xiao Liu and Xiao Cao have already given you a step, why are you still asking me? Go out and explore, find a few serious businesses, and then discuss with me!"

To be honest, if it weren't for his poor health, Zhou Yunfu would never leave this job to Han Ce.

"Uncle, it's okay to reopen the business, but it's too late at this time. Could it be that we really let Bai Baochen become the president?"

I thought Zhou Yunfu would be very unwilling, but the old man laughed twice and said, "Let him be! If he becomes the president, he will gain momentum, which may not be a bad thing for you!"

"To me?" Han Ce was very puzzled.

Zhou Yunfu suddenly sat up and his eyes lit up like an eagle. "Nephew, when I was fighting the Su and Bai families in Fengtian, Jiang Chenghai did a lot of work. He had a deep feud with those two families! The bigger Bai Baochen does, the closer Jiang Chenghai will be to us. Just Let’s see if you can live up to expectations!”

Han Ce nodded in understanding.

Zhou Yunfu then ordered: "Go find Jiang Chenghai and the others now, and by the way, his son."

Han Ce frowned and asked, "Uncle, what did you ask that boy to do?"

Zhou Yunfu took a puff of his cigarette and said calmly: "We have to get some blood on that kid's body so that he can wear a pair of underwear with us, right?"

"I understand!" Han Ce said quickly, "Then I'll do it now!"

"Don't forget to check out a few serious businesses!" Zhou Yunfu reminded again, "Also, this time Xiao Liu and Xiao Cao gave you a step, have you thanked them?"

"Thank you, thank you. As per the old rules, I will be the host of the 'Hui Fang Li' tonight, and I will give each of them 20 yuan as usual."

"What? Did they see the gift you prepared for Mr. Xu?"

"Uh...you should have seen it."

Zhou Yunfu's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and he stood up in anger. He was about to raise his hand to give Han Ce a mouthful, but his eyes went dark and he lay down first.

"Uncle?" Han Ce hurriedly stepped forward to help, "What's wrong with you? I gave these gifts according to the previous rules! Moreover, you also said that those gifts were for Mr. Xu, not them!"

"What a dead idea! What a damn dead idea!"

Zhou Yunfu was so angry that he beat his chest and cursed: "You are already in your 30s, and I still have to feed you bite by bite?"

Those gifts were certainly prepared for Mr. Xu, but since Cao and Liu had seen them and ordered Han Ce, he should give them out, even if he only picked a few!
As a result, this kid remained intact. How did he pull him away and how did he pull him back under the eyes of others...

"Who the hell is going to help you after this?"

"Uncle, don't be angry, I'll send them back right away!"

"Go, go, go! Go and find Jiang Chenghai!"

Zhou Yunfu hates it!

Why don’t you have a son?

Even a daughter would be fine!

With a family fortune that no one can inherit, it doesn't matter if the Han family gets an advantage. After all, Han Ce still bleeds half of the Zhou family's blood, but can he handle it?
Every man is innocent, but he is guilty!
I'm afraid it will only add to the disaster!
After Han Ce walked out in a hurry, Zhou Yunfu took a long time to finally catch his breath. Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, he heard a loud "beep" outside the window, which startled him again.

My body is so depressed that I can't see the light or hear the noise, but recently I have been tortured by this kind of sound one after another.

Zhou Yunfu couldn't help but stand up, walked to the window, opened the curtains slightly, and looked out.

Sure enough, a horse-drawn railway car stopped not far from Woyun Tower. Piccolo arrived at the station and Flute left the station.

Speaking of which, he still has some shares in the Carriage Railway Co., Ltd., although he doesn't like such turbulent things.

Just when I was bored, I saw a man walking out of the car. He had sparse hair all over his body, except for a small twirling beard on his chin. He looked sly and sinister. He looked around and gradually blended into the crowd.

"Oh, those who eat the food of the Rong family really keep up with the times!"

Zhou Yunfu smiled helplessly, and then looked up into the distance. He saw light rail carriages, railway trains, shops from various countries, and foreign exchanges in the city... In just four or five years, Fengtian has already changed a lot.

At this time of year, are there still rivers and lakes?
