Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1134 The Emperor's Bow

As soon as the news came out, the whole of Shanghai went crazy. A large number of people who asked Zai Lian's "auspicious company" to buy shares almost crowded the company. Jixiang company began to reject funds that were too much and less than [-] yuan, so that those who did not have enough cash on hand, dragged their connections, took advantage of others, and thought of ways to send money to Jixiang company.

In just three months, Zai Lian circled a total of 600 million funds. After paying dividends for two months, Zai Lian suddenly disappeared.When they went to work the next day, the company employees saw that their boss did not show up, and they didn't care about it. After that, the general manager seemed to disappear from the world for a few days, and the employees felt that something was wrong.Some bright employees quietly leave without saying goodbye.

When it was time to pay the interest again, the accountant of the company, faced with the remaining 100 yuan in the account, told the shareholders that the company had no money and the general manager was missing.The stockholders were stunned at first, then angry, and finally erupted collectively. Jixiang Company was smashed to pieces, and all the valuable things in the company were looted.Later, the angry crowd shouted the slogan "Return my hard-earned money" and marched to the gate of the Shanghai City Hall to petition. This is the so-called "auspicious event". The old man, who had invested his hard-earned money all his life in Jixiang Company, couldn't think about it for a while, and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, but fortunately he was rescued by the people around him.

The crowd of petitioners at the gate of the city hall was still calm. After they woke up from the initial uproar, they firmly believed that the empire would not let them suffer, and firmly believed that the emperor of the empire would give them an explanation.Everyone has seen what the emperor and the emperor have done in the past few years. When did the common people suffer.

The mayor of Shanghai, Nie Jijia, saw that the trouble was serious and involved the royal family, so he didn't dare to neglect, and urgently reported the matter to the cabinet.

After Guan Xuqing received the report, the first thing he did was to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to raise money and how much it could raise; then he sent someone to Zai Lian in Shanghai with an unprecedentedly severe telegram, No matter what method Zai Lian uses, whether it is selling the house or the land, he must collect a sum of money and send it to Shanghai, otherwise he will immediately send the army to his palace to collect the money; He sent a telegram, instructing the petitioners to treat the petitioners well, to have the same food and clothing, and to pay all expenses in domestic currency.

In two days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs raised 150 million yuan, and Zai Lian, who was full of panic, asked his Fujin to send the sum of 500 million yuan to Nie Jijia.

Afterwards, Guan Xuqing rushed to Shanghai and told everyone that the funds were in place. In the next few days, everyone can go to the designated place to cash in cash with the proof materials in hand, and guarantee that there will be no loss.Then a scene that stunned everyone happened. Guan Xuqing bowed and apologized to the petitioners at the gate of the city hall.

The emperor of the empire bowed and apologized to the common people?The petitioners, who had recovered from their astonishment, burst into applause, and then the slogans "Long live the emperor" and "Long live the empire" sounded again.Guan Xuqing deftly resolved this crisis of trust, and on the contrary enhanced his reputation again.

The occurrence of "auspicious events".There are some loopholes in the Chinese economic system, but Guan Xuqing, who has always strictly investigated and dealt with such matters, rarely has any follow-up actions.

Genius, definitely a different kind of genius, Guan Xuqing evaluated this clan brother alone in this way.Isn't this the "illegal fundraising" of my era?How come I never found out that Zai Lian still has this kind of crooked talent. Although he is a fraudulent talent, it would be a pity that such a person should not be killed.

A few days later, Zai Lian was arrested and brought to the case by Zhao Bingjun to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Zai Lian, who looked like dirt, knelt down in front of the emperor and trembled all over. Over the years, many officials have been killed because of corruption. There was the chief of the Beijing Municipal Police Department in the past, and the four young men of Jinmen later. Brother, if the emperor kills him, he won't even frown.

Sure enough, Guan Xuqing was furious. He slapped the table and cursed, "Decapitate. Decapitate. If you don't kill, the civilians will not be angry!"

Zai Lian turned his begging eyes to Zhao Bingjun, Zhao Bingjun sighed, walked in front of the emperor and said a few whispers, Zai Lian saw that the emperor's face was no longer so angry, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Zhao Bingjun deserved it He is a minister of the thigh and arm, and his words carry weight.

After a while, Guan Xuqing asked coldly: "Where is the money you cheated?
Zai Lian hurriedly said: "I used about 10 yuan, and the rest is stored in the American bank. I will take you to get it right away, and I will send the rest to Fujin immediately."

"Pay 550 million up, and I'll give you the rest." Suddenly, such a sentence came out of the emperor's mouth.

Zai Lian wondered if he heard it wrong, not only did he not kill his head, but he also got money, even if the emperor thought about brotherhood, he wouldn't be so cheap, would he?

Then I heard Guan Xuqing say: "Don't think that the money is for you, take this money and go to the UK to develop."

Zai Lian still didn't realize it, he was good at defrauding money, but he didn't seem to be so smart in other aspects.

Guan Xuqing shook his head, and had no choice but to say: "When you arrive in the UK, what you do in China, you still do there; if one city is finished, you should go to another city to do it; if the UK is done, go to France; Made in Spain, I will send people to collect money from you every month. Remember me, I won’t kill your head today. It doesn’t mean I won’t kill you in the future. You have to hide money privately, the empire Agents will not be merciful just because you are my brother!"

After hearing the emperor's words, Zai Lian finally understood that although it was a hard job and the money he got was nothing to him, he finally saved his head.

"Your Majesty, will foreigners be fooled by Prince Dun? Those foreign devils are ghosts." After Zai Lian left, Zhao Bingjun asked worriedly.

Guan Xuqing glared at him: "Nonsense, foreigners are gods, I still don't believe it. By the way, you find a few people to stare at him, and stare at him everywhere. If there is anything wrong, give him a warning." Wake up; in addition, I will find such a group of 'talented talents' and send them all to foreign countries."

After the "auspicious incident" was dealt with, the Imperial Prime Minister Liang Qichao, who received the good news of the Sino-US war, rushed to see the Emperor. It was rare to see the Imperial Prime Minister so happy, and a look of joy continued to emanate from his brows and eyes.

Guan Xuqing didn't wait for the other party to open his mouth, and said first: "People live in the sky for two years, and Nianfang always doubts herself. How many grand ambitions have not been repaid, and regrets are added to the moth eyebrows. It is a pity that the years have been famous, and there are people everywhere in the world. Knowing Jing said For an ordinary matter, the first acquaintance will always let you."

Liang Qichao was startled for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Looking at the vast tiger's lair, it's hard to endure the hardships of the red dress. Look at the price of a hundred thousand heads, and there are deer everywhere, wanting to devour people. The Xiongnu are still alive and dare to speak, Baili It's still ninety percent credit. I'm afraid others will tell me what's wrong, I love Chunhua to the fullest."

Guan Xuqing smiled and pulled him to sit down: "You are not a soldier under the flag now, you are the prime minister of the Chinese Empire who can make hundreds of heads fall to the ground with a single movement of your mouth."

"I'm just a Confucian student, but I don't have the heroic spirit of an imperial general on the battlefield." Liang Qichao said with a smile: "By the way, I heard that many people were killed in the United States, and the commander of the Marine Division, who condoned The army has broken military discipline, and I am a little worried about it."

Guan Xuqing smiled. His prime minister is good at everything, only one thing makes him dissatisfied. He is too soft-hearted. Everything pays attention to the face of a big country and the traditional virtues of China. "I killed some civilians, and the military discipline is indeed a bit lax, but I don't think it's a big deal. During the two Opium Wars, the big powers entered Beijing to kill the Chinese people, but they have never been lenient, and they will not talk about military discipline with you, soldier. When fighting abroad, sometimes it is inevitable to vent your anger. Besides, I don’t think our soldiers killed civilians. Have you ever seen civilians in any country shoot at soldiers when the army didn’t hurt them at all? , which country have you ever seen the people of our soldiers attack the soldiers without committing any crimes? I feel sorry for the dead soldiers of the empire if I kill them or don’t kill them!"

Liang Qichao smiled wryly, knowing that it would be difficult for him to convince the emperor, after all he didn't know anything about the front line, maybe the soldiers did have their reasons for doing this.He changed the subject: "The United States has lost the war. Next, we have to consider how to govern the country. This is the top priority."

Guan Xuqing waved his hands again and again: "Wrong, wrong, China is a peace-loving country. It has never engaged in aggression, let alone occupation. We entered the United States with the purpose of peace. Yes, we entered the United States to help them recover. Democracy as it should be, and help the American people get rid of the misery under the corrupt rule."

Liang Qichao was a bit ridiculous.But it makes sense to think about it. Those big powers who entered other countries, which ones didn't use high-sounding excuses?

"Let's get one out there that we can completely control," Guan Xuqing thought for a while and said, "US President Johnson is still immobilized for the time being, so we have to find a suitable time; send more Confucian masters from China, anyway, they are right It is good to enlighten others; other matters will be handled according to what we have discussed in the past, and we have to eat every bite, and there is no rush."

Liang Qichao took out a list and handed it to the emperor: "According to your opinion, the list of war criminals has been listed. Are there too many people? Where and who will judge?"

Guan Xuqing took the list and glanced at it hastily, and handed it back to Liang Qichao: "I think it's still too small, let's put it on trial in the United States, and let the Americans see what their heroes look like. Zai Xun, go, he is the Minister of Su Zheng, he is relatively experienced."

Liang Qichao nodded.
