Li Zhen, sitting on a horse with a golden sword, is sitting directly above the hall. On the left side below, Liu Taiping, Huang Shihai, Zhou Xiuying, Smith, Lu Shaochuan, Zhu Wu, and Bojia are sitting. On the right side, Qi Zhenhai, Yang Banhou, and Lan are sitting. Wei Wen, Dai Yuanhua, Maas, Ye Chengzhong, Fourth Master Tong, Gu Lina, and Alice sisters, in addition to Zhilan and Liu Die, everyone under Li Zhen's command was involved, including those under Li Zhen's command. All confidants.
Before Li Zhen led his army to Shanghai, Liu Taiping had ordered Qi Zhenhai and Yang Banhou to withdraw their troops.
The two of them got orders from Liu Taiping and returned to Shanghai without stopping, arriving one step ahead of Li Zhen.
Qi Zhenhai got the news of Liu Die's pregnancy when he arrived in Shanghai. He was overjoyed. Liu Die was pregnant. The Qi family finally had an heir. Qi Zhenhai had an heir. Even Huang Shihai, Lu Shaochuan and Smith were a little envious. These big people The old man was in the military camp all day long and had no time to interact with women. He didn't even find his target.
Qi Zhenhai and others arrived in Shanghai, and Li Zhen also rushed back with his army.
Li Zhen did not take a break and directly ordered to summon his subordinates to discuss matters.
Time is tight, so it has to be this way.
Li Zhen also got the news of Liu Die's pregnancy in his spare time, and felt happy for Liu Taiping and Qi Zhenhai.
At this moment, Li Zhen glanced at the people in the hall and saw that everyone was here. He said in a deep voice: "Everyone already knows the news that I am about to go to Guangzhou to take up my post. I am going to Guangzhou. Although I am not in Shanghai, I am in Shanghai." There can be no chaos, we must follow the policy set by the commander, so I directly selected the new Shanghai Taoist platform."
When these words came out, most people were indifferent, but Lan Weiwen's heart became tense.
Among all the people, only Lan Weiwen is in the officialdom.
Sure enough, Li Zhen's eyes fell on Lan Weiwen and said in a deep voice: "Lan Weiwen has performed very well during this period and is known as 'Lan Qingtian'. I am proud to have a subordinate like you. I am about to go to Guangzhou to take up my post. You will temporarily replace Shanghai Daotai and concurrently serve as Jiangsu Customs Supervisor to handle Shanghai affairs. I will inform Jiangsu Governor Xu Naizhao about the specific appointment, and he will announce the appointment. You will take over when the time comes."
Lan Weiwen immediately stood up, knelt down on one knee, and said: "I will definitely live up to your expectations, and I will definitely manage Shanghai in an orderly manner."
Li Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Get up, you know I don't like people kneeling down."
"Yes Yes,."
Lan Weiwen was also excited for a moment and knelt down directly.
In fact, this etiquette of kneeling and saluting originated from Lan Weiwen's inner thoughts. She knelt down without thinking at all. Growing up, she had always knelt down when meeting officials, and even more so when meeting the emperor. She knelt down in various ways, so Lan Weiwen didn't change her mind for a while.
Li Zhen changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "I am going to Guangzhou to take up my post, but Shanghai is my foundation and there is no room for failure. If you neglect your duties, I will dismiss you even if I am in Guangzhou." , I hope you will fulfill your responsibilities and govern Shanghai well."
"Don't worry, sir. Your subordinates will definitely remember your teachings, perform their duties to the fullest, and dare not slack off in the slightest."
Lan Weiwen is loyal to Li Zhen and has no worries.
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "My promotion to the governor of Guangzhou is no longer limited to a small county. Now I am the governor of Guangzhou. I will rise step by step in the future. As long as you do well in Shanghai, my commander will I won't hesitate to promote you, and I will transfer you to my side. As I move up the ranks, in the future, although you won't be a governor or other high-ranking official, you can at least be a governor of a province."
"Gudong,."
Lan Weiwen swallowed her saliva, her eyes showing infinite longing.
He was originally just a small county magistrate, but now he has become a Shanghai Daotai, and he is very satisfied.
However, Li Zhen outlined a grander blueprint for him, and Lan Weiwen suddenly saw greater hope. At this moment, Lan Weiwen just wanted to hug Li Zhen's thigh tightly and be loyal to Li Zhen. He also prayed in his heart that Li Zhen would be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and he would also follow him to become a noble. Lan Weiwen had lived for nearly half her life. Although she was greedy for money, she was unknown and her reputation was not obvious. Now that she had the opportunity, she was extremely excited.
"Back off."
Li Zhen flicked his sleeves, and Lan Weiwen obediently returned to her seat.
"General, I have something to say."
Suddenly, Mas stood up and saluted.
Li Zhen waved his hands and said, "It doesn't hurt to just say it."
Mas took a deep breath and said: "The military factory has been opened in Shanghai and has started to operate normally. It just needs to be maintained. Next, I plan to go to Guangzhou with the general to open a factory in Guangzhou and invite the general to Yes."
Li Zhen frowned, shook his head and said: "You stay in Shanghai for the time being, I will leave the rest to you."
"ah,."
Mars let out a low cry, surprise written all over his face.
He thought he was 100% sure that he would go to Guangzhou with Li Zhen, but now he got the news that he would stay in Shanghai, and he was very disappointed.
If we cling to the arsenal in Shanghai half-deadly, we will not be able to expand the business of the Beretta family. Mas still refused to give up and continued: "General, go to Guangzhou to open a factory. The Beretta family will only send experts and workers and will not participate in the factory. The general will send people to manage everything. After making money, the Beretta family only needs 40% of the profit."
After Li Zhen heard this, he still shook his head.
Thanks to Dai Yuanhua's guidance, the craftsmen under Li Zhen have the ability to set up a factory on their own.
Even Li Zhen can hire specialized weapons experts with high salaries, and can also open factories. If he runs his own factory, he can firmly control the control in his hands. If Maas participates, even if Li Zhen takes the lead, Maas will still Considering the interests of the Beretta family, when there is a fierce conflict between the two, Mas will side with the Beretta family. In order to avoid future disputes, it is better to keep Mas in Shanghai.
It’s for Li Zhen’s own good and also for Mas’s good.
Seeing that Li Zhen refused again, Maas said: "General, we don't want 40% profit, just 30% profit. General, this is the lowest profit I can make."
Li Zhen sighed in his heart and said again: "Going to Guangzhou can be postponed because I will not be able to gain a foothold in Guangzhou for a short time. In addition, Guangzhou is also attacked by the British and French forces. I must put down the rebellion until I stabilize the situation in Guangzhou." , you are welcome to come to Guangzhou to open a factory. Now, your main task is to go to Nanjing to sell weapons to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and make profits."
As soon as these words came out, Lan Weiwen, Tongsi, Bojia and others all raised their eyebrows.
Funding the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is treason.
At this moment, everyone understood Li Zhen's ambition. The person in front of them was definitely not a person loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but a person who climbed up for his own benefit. Li Zhen looked sincere and continued: "You The last time I went to Nanjing, I was kicked out because the bandits were strong and did not need weapons. Now, the bandits have weakened and are in urgent need of weapons. If you go this time, you will definitely make a big profit. This is what I give you. "
"Yes, I understand."
Mas suddenly became discouraged and stopped refuting.
