late Qing Dynasty arrest

The next day, Li Guolou was going to meet Yu Hanbing from the Gelaohui to see the textile factory. Instead of going back to the capital first, Li Guolou sent Wu Defu to the office of the Qing Dynasty in the French Concession, so he said goodbye to Wu Defu in peace.The breakup scene without words, two people who like to pretend to be hidden, wave goodbye to the excitement in their hearts to vent when they succeed, and now they are as boring as ordinary people.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Li Guolou returned to Victoria's apartment. As soon as he got home, he was interrogated by three women, as if he had done something wrong to his daughter Lingling outside.After Li Guolou assured God, the two lovers spared him and stared at him affectionately. It turned out that the two lovers did not want to let Li Guolou go for a night until he was still awake.

Li Guolou shook his head and said, "No way! The second grandma and the third grandma have to get up early tomorrow, so I'll sleep in the living room."

"Hmph!" Xie Xiuzhu and Yelia got angry.

"I still want to exercise and box with Tarzan the Ape." Li Guolou also had a magic weapon for protection.

"It's early!" Yelia was even more dissatisfied.

"Xiaolou, put away the hot water for you!" Xie Xiuzhu clearly told Li Guolou that he couldn't escape tonight.

"What about me?" Xie Liya, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Give me some insight, go sleep with Lingling!" Xie Xiuzhu rolled her eyes at the shameless British girl Xie Liya.

Li Guolou said meaningfully: "Xie Liya, I will accompany you tomorrow night."

Xie Liya hugged Li Guolou tightly and said, "Yes! It will take three days."

"Hey!" Xie Xiuzhu and Yelia sighed. How should they divide the popular Li Guolou?

"Let's go, two big babies!" Li Guolou hugged left and right and walked into the bathroom vigorously, without using his brain anymore. Now he is still young and squandering positive energy.

At this time, the textile mills were transitioning to large-scale mechanization, and many hand-woven techniques were replaced by machinery.The invention of the steam engine led to the industrial revolution. There are many strange-shaped steam engines emitting white smoke in the textile factory, and thousands of female workers are terrifying. They wear uniform bellybands and silently do the work at hand.

Under the leadership of Yu Hanbing, Li Guolou, his elder brother Li Guoyun, brother-in-law Tan Guoxi, Xie Xiuzhu, Yelia, Bao Quanzhong and others visited the Weimin Textile Factory.

As for the specific business, Li Guolou was the hands-off shopkeeper, and it was the eldest brother who was talking with Yu Hanbing. Li Guolou was only interested in those steam engines, and looked up at the white smoke rising above his head.Human strength cannot be compared with machinery. The Industrial Revolution started with the invention of the steam engine.The Qing Empire just didn't keep up with the pace of the steam engine, so it fell behind and was beaten.Now he is standing under the tall steam engine, longing for the Qing Empire to embark on the road of revival from here.

Standing here, Li Guolou feels that he is a shameful person. These female workers work for more than ten hours a day, but they get twenty copper coins. Many of them are child laborers aged eleven or twelve. With the same movements, people are as lifeless as machines.

The steam engine made a deafening sound, Xie Xiuzhu couldn't bear it and was the first to escape.Li Guolou was the last to leave the workshop. He really wanted to reward these hardworking female workers, but it seemed that it was against the rules, so he could only leave silently.Exploitation is vividly reflected here, but without exploitation, there will be no development, and it is impossible to survive under the cruel competition of the textile industry.Because the little Japan was exploited even more than the Qing people, and the little Japanese women who were not afraid of hardship were enduring it, and the women of the Qing Empire had to continue to endure it.This is an industry that relies on rich human resources for production. Western powers have never had an advantage. They used to rely on the development of large industries to create miracles. However, since the Qing Empire opened up to the outside world, the origin of the textile industry has returned to this land.In the past, it was the exclusive monopoly of the Qing Empire, but now the participation of the Japanese has made the competition in this industry more brutal.

The machinery here is coal-fired, and the tall chimneys emit black smoke into the air. This is the symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Huge black smoke surrounds the factory building, making people extremely dirty.

Li Guolou didn't take off his mask until he came to the office. His two lovers had already been sitting inside and sighed.

"Hey, Mike, why do you want to invest your money here? My second grandma and I don't agree. Any industry can't make money. This industry is too dark, and we will live under black smoke forever. We don't want to come here again." Yeh Lia was extremely dissatisfied that Li Guolou brought the two of them here to look at the factory. The textile factory is a lowly industry, and people with status and status don't bother to step into this industry.

Li Guolou spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. Good industries like shipbuilding and arsenals are monopolized by Westerners. Besides, the industry's threshold is too high and without government support, it will go bankrupt sooner or later. I was forced to I have no choice but to want to work in the textile industry. Only in this industry, our Qing Empire has an advantage, and no other country can compete with us. I called you here not to let you be managers, but to let you see how the people at the bottom live. , if we don’t let the common people live a good life, they will rebel and blow us up.”

"We are upper-class people, we can get along well with the people in the palace, and we can continue to live a pampered life." Xie Xiuzhu was unwilling to be bewitched by Li Guolou, and wanted to make a final resistance.

Li Guolou clenched his fists and said seriously: "Second Grandma, Third Grandma, I am a promising young man, how can I be a moth of the country. Of course I will continue to be a moth, but I will also do my duty for the country We have a weak foundation in heavy industry and cannot compete with Westerners, and light industry has low technical content. We have inherent advantages, and our family will become the largest textile giant in the future."

"But the Namora plague here is still beating people, we are not being scolded to death." Yelia stomped her feet angrily, annoyed to see the most tragic scene in the world.

Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Third Grandma, what's the matter? Little Japan slaps her face and doesn't move. If there is a major accident, Little Japan's foreman will commit suicide by caesarean section. This is a cruel industry. If you want to be soft-hearted, don’t step into this industry. Women workers also have a choice, why are they willing to do it? Do you know how many industries in this society recruit women workers and how many families are raised here? We are scolded a few times because they don’t understand this industry Cruel competition. What we are doing now is to prop up the backbone of the Qing Empire. Only by relying on us to feed a big family can a few people enjoy themselves. If the big family can’t support it, the people will still rebel.”

"How can there be a person like you, who is clearly exploiting the poor and working people, but speaks as if you are a noble person, and you are the most meanest exploiting class." Xie Xiuzhu scolded Li Guolou, and now she is not afraid of Li Guolou at all. Will dump her, but she likes to ride on Li Guolou and scream.

"There is nothing wrong with being an exploiting class. The working people cannot do without our exploiting class. If you are scolded, you can scold me. Aren't you Si Gan willing to be a mistress and climb on me?" Li Guolou explained the truth in a simple way, no one can He can argue with his lips.

"Dirty!" The two lovers stood up angrily, embraced Li Guolou and kissed.

Bao Quanzhong opened the door just in time to see this scene, and angrily said: "Little Li, it's broad daylight."

"We didn't do anything." Li Guolou said forcefully, hugging and hugging are commonplace, which is the etiquette of Westerners.

Bao Quanzhong stood at the door and said, "Let's go! My time is precious, and I don't want to waste it here. Your elder brother told you to go. We need to sign a letter of intent, so that each of you can come up with a preliminary opinion."

Li Guolou said: "Student Xiaobao, your father asked you to read it. You don't have the right to sign it. There is no legal effect if you don't sign the letter of intent. Why are you working so hard?"

"Hehehe, it is because there is no legal effect that I want to sign. I have never been famous in front of so many people. Today I want to sing a song to praise Xiao Lizi." Bao Quanzhong's reasoning is also reasonable. , he is quite clever.

Li Guoyun made a decision on the spot, bought four textile factories that were on the verge of bankruptcy, and had to sit in Tianjin for a long time.

Li Guoyun's heroic behavior made Yu Hanbing admire him so much that he told Li Guolou on the spot that he wanted to wash his hands and sell the remaining six Le Piaopiaoyan restaurants in the capital.In the future, I will follow my elder brother Li Guoyun to be a promising national industrialist.

Li Guolou was taken aback, and glanced at his elder brother Li Guoyun, where did he get the money?The eldest brother Li Guoyun must have bet his entire fortune on the boxing match between him and Robinson Robinson, definitely not the [-] taels of silver that he said in front of him.No wonder the one-eyed Jack is willing to pay a sky-high price to invite him to fight another boxing match. It turns out that he has such a great appeal.The brothers still have to hide it from him. It seems that when they ask the elder brother for the money to renovate the house later, they will have to be more ruthless.

Li Guolou secretly asked: "Mr. Yu, do you want to go to the Cherry Blossom Tower where the Black Dragon Club opens tomorrow? Qiao Benlong is here to treat you."

Yu Hanbing said in a low voice: "Then will your elder brother go?"

"My elder brother is serious and ignore him, my brother-in-law will go together, Xiaobao is a follower, remember to keep it secret."

Yu Hanbing chuckled and said, "I still have two brothers, and they are all on your account. At night, the public entertainment is the main thing, so pretend to be a good person."

The two snickered furtively, pretending to be serious businessmen, watching the three textile factory owners sell the factory that they had worked so hard for all their lives.

"Immortal Banban, little Lizi, I am so confused by you, if I don't get better within two years, I will jump into the Haihe River, remember not to pull my pigtails then." Yu Hanbing was filled with emotion, It's like losing your soul.

"Remember, before you jump, get my brother and brother-in-law up first. They are bigger bets than you, so don't pretend to be wronged." Japan fought to the death and the net was broken, so that the textile industry boss in Little Japan also committed suicide by caesarean section.

Li Guolou chatted with Yu Hanbing for a few words, and then went to negotiate the price with the two lovers. He is the kind of person who is an empty-handed white wolf. In addition to getting some small things from the family stock, he still depends on the two lovers to give him money. Hold field.

Li Guolou asked softly: "Second grandma, third grandma, have you discussed it? When you are done, go sign and tell my elder brother how much to invest."

"Hmph! Little rascal, I know we can't do without you, so I'll give you face and let you sign, and it's all on your head. Second Mistress and I paid a total of 15 taels of silver, and you are satisfied now." Yelia said triumphantly, waiting for Li Guolou's praise.

Li Guolou remained calm and sighed: "Third grandma, don't double your stinginess. Your worth is already more than this, so just honestly put your home on me. In the past two years, we will raise a child when we are young. Live together forever."

"You're such a villain! You've plotted against my sister's money. If your investment fails, I'm going to be a chicken too." Yelia slapped Li Guolou's chest lightly.

"Okay, okay, after I go back and get married with my grandma, I will have a grand wedding with you immediately, so that you can marry me in a beautiful way." Li Guolou patted his chest and promised, and then hurriedly said: "Second grandma, please don't hesitate to marry me." Don't cry, if you really can't wait, shall we hold a grand wedding in the French Concession of Tianjin?"

"Yeah!" Xie Xiuzhu burst into tears, laughing shamelessly and coquettishly.

Li Guolou was proud of being young and strong. First, he made the stomachs of the grandmothers bigger so that they would not have the desire to have sex with each other, so that the family would be harmonious in the future!

As a person with a sharp mind, Li Guolou's strength is definitely not only to see through the murderer's whereabouts, he is also very good at counting women. The prototype of a big family has formed and Li Guolou enjoys it.
