Zhao Shouhong said: "The Saar army invaded our territory for no reason. What's wrong with me fighting back? What's more, the so-called Saar Empire is thousands of miles away. With the current state of the country, it is very difficult for it to threaten us. Hua Lan There are only two biggest enemies of the kingdom, Rakshasa and Wa, and the others are not much of a threat, so why should the imperial court fear foreigners like tigers."

"The state affairs are difficult. You will definitely be summoned by the empress dowager when you enter the capital this time. I want to tell you first that you cannot comment on the trend of constitutional law, so as not to be plotted against by others." Zhao Erzhen wants to vaccinate his grandson first, so that prevent him from talking nonsense.

"The grandson has his own opinion on how to behave, so grandpa doesn't need to worry about it." Zhao Shouhong smiled wryly, he had already expressed to Zhang Xiaoda in the car that he supported the constitutionalists, and now it's probably too late to repent.Zhao Shouhong has also figured it out these days. After all, he disagrees with both the diehards and the constitutionalists. As long as he can get the best benefit, he doesn't mind helping anyone.

Zhao Erzhen nodded: "It's getting late, go and rest, the housekeeper will arrange a room for you."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Zhao Shouhong followed the housekeeper back to his room, changed into comfortable clothes, and planned to lie on the bed and talk to Shen Ruoxue, and then ask her to help him get some electrical equipment.At this time, a gentle female voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, may I come in?"

"Who? Come in." Zhao Shouhong jumped up, he was a little surprised why a girl came to him and called him young master.

Pushing the door open was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman. She was wearing a flag dress, with two claw buns on her hair, and she looked like a servant girl.Although this maid was not beautiful, she was quite handsome. She saluted Zhao Shouhong as soon as she entered the door, but her eyes looked him up and down curiously. Obviously, she rarely saw strangers.

"My servant, Xiaocui, has seen the young master, butler Zhao asked me to come and serve you." When the woman's eyes met Zhao Shouhong's, she immediately lowered her head shyly.

"When did I say I want maids to serve? It's fine to have guards to serve you." Even when Zhao Shouhong was in Zhongchuan, he never had a maid, and he was quite uncomfortable with this.

"Steward Zhao said that those big men with rough hands and feet may not be able to serve you well, so let the servants take care of your food and daily life." Xiao Cui replied.

"I don't need anyone to serve me. In fact, I can do everything myself." The young Zhao Shouhong seldom gets close to women, and now he feels a little weird in his heart beside such a young woman.

Xiao Cui's face darkened: "Could it be that the young master despises the slaves? Are you planning to drive the slaves away?"

"No, I didn't mean that. It's just that I don't need someone to wait on me. I'm not used to it. Maybe I got used to taking care of myself when I was studying abroad." Zhao Shouhong made an excuse for himself.

Xiao Cui immediately knelt on the ground and wept, "If the young master drives away the slaves, the butler will beat me to death, please forgive me, young master."

"So serious?" Zhao Shouhong was in a dilemma, but he couldn't help but feel compassion for such a young girl crying in front of him.Looking at Xiao Cui who was crying sadly, Zhao Shouhong had no choice but to help her up and sighed: "Okay, you stay here for now."

"Thank you, young master." Xiaocui laughed through tears, wiped away the tears on her face, and hurried over and said, "Master, I'll help you change your clothes. We will have lunch soon, please wash your face, young master."

"No, I'll do it myself." Xiaocui came up to help him undress, and Zhao Shouhong backed away in fright. He had never let a woman undress himself.After tossing with Xiao Cui for a while, Zhao Shouhong finally washed his face and changed into the comfortable clothes he wore at home.The meal at noon was quite sumptuous, even though they were the only two eating, they still had a table full of dishes.

"Grandpa, why don't you let your uncles come to the capital to take care of you? They are far away in their hometown in Tai'an. If you need anything, wouldn't they be beyond their reach? Besides, having a family together is better than living alone." Zhao Shouhong asked while eating When he got up, he was puzzled why Zhao Erzhen wanted to live alone.

Zhao Erzhen sighed and said, "Did you forget that your father is my only son. Ever since your grandma passed away and both parents died, I have lived alone. How come uncle?"

Zhao Shouhong was so frightened that he almost dropped his chopsticks on the ground. He never imagined that in this era of many sons and many blessings, his father was actually an only child. Uncle, Second Grandpa is also an official in the capital, so we have someone to take care of us when we live together." Zhao Shouhong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he was so impressed by his wit that he almost gave up.

"I'm used to being quiet by myself, and I don't like too many people being together. Your second grandfather has his own house, and it doesn't make sense to live together. By the way, your second grandfather recently went to Tianfeng City and hasn't come back yet. You'll see him when he comes back."

Zhao Erzhen didn't seem to notice the change in Zhao Shouhong's face, he still ate leisurely and said: "I plan to retire next year and go back to my hometown in Tai'an. From now on, this mansion in the imperial capital will be useless. When you can enter the capital, you can do it." It might come in handy when you are an official." Zhao Erzhen had no doubt that this grandson, who had just entered the officialdom and made such achievements in one year, would be able to become an official in the capital.

"Your second grandfather is similar to me. He was transferred from the general of Mingjing to the imperial capital this time. It is just a formality. I heard that Zhang Xiangshuai is going back to the capital to serve in the military aircraft department. He is going to serve as the governor of Liangyuan." Zhao Erzhen Said.

"Governor of Liangyuan?" Zhao Shouhong felt a little disappointed in his heart. He had already identified Zhongchuan as his starting place, so he naturally hoped that he could hold it firmly in his hands.It is most beneficial for Governor Zhongchuan to be his elder, which will make many things he has to do more smoothly. It is a pity that Zhao Erxun will go to serve as Governor of Liangyuan, so he cannot take care of him nearby, which is somewhat regrettable.

The next morning, Zhao Shouhong was summoned to court, and he and his grandfather Zhao Erzhen got into a sedan chair and headed for Jinshui Bridge.Zhao Shouhong of later generations only saw the original appearance of the imperial capital in the stereoscopic simulation view, but it was not completely real after all.Now that he is really in this ancient civilization capital of Hualan Kingdom, Zhao Shouhong has an illusory feeling in his heart.The drivers wearing old cotton-padded clothes and pulling carts to deliver water to the city, the patrolling squads of Qing soldiers abound, the shops on the side of the road that have not yet opened their doors, the eye-catching signboards of various colors, and the courtyards showing desolation, everything makes him feel to fresh.

Chapter 71 Pros and Cons of Loans

Looking at the scenery in the imperial capital, Zhao Shouhong didn't feel the distance of the journey at all, but was very interested in watching it.Half an hour later, Zhao Shouhong and Zhao Erzhen arrived in front of Jinshui Bridge in two warm sedan chairs.It was just five o'clock, according to the time of later generations, it was around four o'clock in the morning, and it was winter again, so the night was thick at this time.It will take a while to open the palace gate, Zhao Shouhong snuggled up in the warm sedan chair and was about to take a nap when a servant came to Zhao Shouhong's sedan chair and said, "Master Zhao, my master is here to invite you."

"Your master?" Zhao Shouhong raised the curtain curiously, only to find that Zhang Xiaoda not far away was waving to him.Zhao Shouhong didn't dare to neglect Zhang Xiaoda, so he quickly got off the sedan chair and walked over quickly.

"Brother Xiangshuai, I didn't expect you to come today." Zhao Shouhong smiled.

"Of course, I came to Beijing this time to resign from the Governor of Liangyuan, and I will work in the Military Aircraft Department in the future." Zhang Xiaoda said with a smile: "It's a pity that I couldn't work in Liangyuan for two more years, so I couldn't cooperate with you."

"Master Xiangshuai has actually come to Beijing. It's rude for me not to visit." Zhao Erzhen walked over with a smile.

"Brother Tie Shan, you are safe and sound. I didn't expect to see you so soon. You can raise a good grandson, and you will definitely become a talented person in the future." Zhang Xiaoda laughed.

Zhao Erzhen looked at Zhao Shouhong and said modestly: "Although Hong'er is a little clever, he can't be praised by Mr. Xiangshuai."

"You can't say that. Brother Shouhong is a real genius who has learned all kinds of things." Zhang Xiaoda and Zhao Shouhong had already praised him a lot when they got along on the train for a long time.

Zhao Erzhen glanced at Zhao Shouhong in surprise, he never expected that Zhang Xiaoda, a famous minister of the late Jin Dynasty who was nearly [-] years old, would call him brother, which is really weird.

Sheng Xingsun, who had just arrived at this time, also got off the sedan chair and walked towards them. Before the others arrived, he saluted and said with a smile: "Xiang Shuai and Mr. Zhao are all here, it seems that I am late."

"Xingsun is not too late, the gate of the palace hasn't opened yet." Zhang Xiaoda greeted with a smile.

"Shou Hong is here too. Mr. Xiang Shuai was full of praise for you at the banquet yesterday." Sheng Xingsun said with a smile.

Zhao Shouhong cupped his hands: "Mr. Sheng praised you. I heard that Mr. Sheng recently took over the Xiakou Iron Works. He combined the Iron Works, Daye Iron Mine and Pingxiang Coal Mine to form Xia Yeping Company?"

"That's right, I didn't expect Shou Hong to know such a thing." Sheng Xingsun said with a smile, this is his proud work.

"I heard that your lord plans to build a new factory in Daye Iron Mine, and is preparing to borrow heavily from the Japanese Zhengjin Bank?" Zhao Shouhong asked again.

"This... such a confidential matter, how did Shouhong know?" Sheng Xingsun opened his mouth in surprise. The negotiation on this matter has not yet started, and Zhao Shouhong unexpectedly knew about it.

"If my lord borrows money from the Japanese people, Xia Yeping's company will surely be destroyed." Zhao Shouhong didn't say how he got the news, but directly said such shocking words.

Sheng Xingsun was taken aback: "Shou Hong's words are too much, I borrowed money from Japanese people, and I plan to use shares as collateral. If they want to destroy my factory, Zhengjin Bank will also lose money."

"That depends on how it loses money. If Zhengjin Bank put forward a condition when borrowing money, Daye Iron Mine will provide ore as a repayment interest every year, and the current price of iron ore will remain unchanged for decades, what do you think? " Zhao Shouhong said.

"Of course I would. Wouldn't it be good if this thing could be sold?" Sheng Xingsun asked.

"It depends on the situation. The situation in the Western Continent is tense now, and the major powers are quite likely to break out. Once this battle is fought, it will definitely last a long time. In the war, steel will come first, and the price of iron ore will definitely rise sharply. At that time, the price of other people's iron ore will skyrocket, but Daye Iron Mine will be sold at the current price, and the price difference may even earn back the principal." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

Sheng Xingsun broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, he really hadn't thought about these issues, if something like this really happened, wouldn't he be working for the Wa people?

Zhao Shouhong continued: "What's more, after the death of the Japanese country, my heart of Qing Dynasty will not die. It can be seen that I secretly support the revolutionary party, and what they need is iron ore, not a steel factory. This steel is the lifeblood of the country. In case the people of the Japanese country From now on, what if we control Xia Yeping Company with funds, let it continue to lose money and eventually go bankrupt?"

"They're going to lose money too." Sheng Xingsun said resolutely.

"However, the Japanese people have already made enough profits from the Daye Iron Mine, and if the Japanese government makes certain promises to Zhengjin Bank, they are very willing to sell." Zhao Shouhong laughed. What he said was not alarmist, because in later generations That's what Japanese people do.

The weather in December was quite cold, but Sheng Xingsun was already profusely sweating. His body was shaking slightly, obviously thinking of the terrible ending.He shook his head and said, "I also want to build an iron factory with the help of domestic power, but I can only raise a million taels of silver when I run around. How can this be enough for the iron factory to expand its production?"

Zhao Shouhong said: "Enterprise expansion can be done slowly, why do you have to do it overnight. If the company is controlled by others, it can be said that it is a hard work for whom, and what is the use then?"

"But." Sheng Xingsun was quite reluctant in his heart. He still hoped that his career could grow as soon as possible.

"In fact, the country lacks steel, so it is not difficult for steel companies to make money." Zhao Shouhong said.

"Oh? Is there anything Shou Hong can teach me?" Sheng Xingsun said.

Zhao Shouhong said: "Now that the Empress Dowager is carrying out the New Deal, what the country needs most is the railway. If the imperial court wants to build railways, the demand for this steel will be very high."

"Now the steel rails of the Dizhang Railway are supplied by our Xiakou Iron Works, but the country is difficult, and only one railway can be built at a time, and the amount of rails is not much." Sheng Xingsun said.

"If my lord can help me find some railway engineers, I want to build some railways." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

"Shou Hong is so rich?" Sheng Xingsun asked with wide-eyed eyes.
