After returning to Tianjin, Sakasi Hachiro immediately sent a secret telegram to the General Staff Headquarters through the Riboben Consulate, slightly changed what happened in Lushun, and then reported it to the past.
First, the assassination was organized and implemented by Aoki Nobusu's plan. Secondly, Aoki Nobusu and more than 50 others were broken for the sake of the great empire. Finally, Aoki Nobusu gave a small exaggeration to himself and the Chinese side.
The credit of the spy.
Sakasai Hachiro explained the details of the assassination clearly, which made people convinced that he was one of the assassinators.
When the generals of the General Staff of Richiro's Generals were regretting for Aoki Nobusu, they even encouraged Sakahi to continue their efforts and promote him to the head of intelligence in China, and to draw some personnel from the army, and not go to China to allow him to dispatch them.
They did not doubt Sakashi's words, because even if they wanted to break their heads, they would not have thought that Liu Zhenming had such evil things.
Sakanichi took the opportunity to tell what happened in Liaozhong and asked the base camp to give money and guns to buy the bandits, and then waited until the war began to use it for me.
The ri-built base camp wanted to be generous in this regard. Without saying a word, a batch of guns and ammunition was smuggled through merchant ships. And it was explained that as much as possible, the gangsters should be bribed as much as possible. After the statistics were completed,
They didn't know that, except for a small amount of these guns, most of them would fall into Liu Zhenming's hands to equip his land-opening guards.
After Liu Zhenming returned to Tianjin, he was so busy that he was not stuck in the ground, buying boats, recruiting people, and choosing young and strong men to prepare to form a guard team.
He felt distressed when he saw money spending like flowing water every day. Although he had such a large sum of money as Germans supported, he could still get some small money from Ri himself from time to time.
However, it is almost September. After the farmers summoned to Liaozhong, the first thing they have to do is to open up land and farm. Then they may not have profits until next year. It is impossible to just live in vain.
Fortunately, Liu Zhenming remembered that there was another thing in the system that could be purchased, that was the cement factory.
Liu Zhenming has a merit worth 740,000, and all the machines of a large cement factory only need 50,000 merit worth. Now, due to the defeat in the Qing Dynasty, he has to carry out a new round of reforms, build factories, and build mines.
The potential market for railway construction and cement is very broad.
After investigation, Liu Zhenming found that there is no cement factory in China so far, all of which rely on imports, and the price is very expensive. The system has the most advanced machines, and this is the territory of the Chinese. 10% of the cement factory, so he is not afraid of competing with foreigners.
However, he immediately received another news. It was that Tang Tingshu once established a cement factory in Tangshan, but due to the high cost, it was closed a few years ago.
After that, as the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded North China, the British and German troops occupied the Tangshan mining area, British merchants and German Decuillin, an official of the Tianjin Customs and Taxation Department, joined forces. They were scared and deceived, and "buyed" from the supervisor Zhang Yi at an extremely low price.
I went to Kaiping Mining Bureau and Tangshan Fine Cotton Earth Factory.
These include two coal mines in Tangshan and Linxi, Chengping Silver Mine, the houses of the Tianjin General Administration, coal transport terminals, canals, ships, etc. in Tanggu, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou and other places.
They sold it to the British merchant Molin, and Molin sold it to the "Oriental Syndicate". At the end of 1900, Kaiping Mineral Co., Ltd. was formed to register in the UK and took over the entire property rights of the Kaiping Mineral Bureau.
After receiving this news, Liu Zhenming thought about it carefully and remembered that Tangshan cement factory would be the largest cement factory in the Republic of China, called Qixin Clay Company or something.
Unexpectedly, the property rights of this cement factory are now in the hands of the British. Although I don’t know how it was taken back in the future, Liu Zhenming is definitely unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.
With a plan in mind, Liu Zhenming found a lot of information. After repeated design and planning, he finally found a solution. By the way, he also thought of a vicious plan to deal with the British.
Immediately, he led two followers to the Zhili Crafts Bureau. This Zhili Crafts Bureau is quite complicated and can manage the factories and schools in the area controlled by Yuan Shikai.
The general office of the Crafts Bureau was Zhou Xuexi, the later Beiyang Chief Finance Minister. In the history of modern industrial development in China, the saying "Southern Zhang and Northern Zhou" was once circulated. "Southern Zhang" refers to Zhang Jian, the top scholar in the southeast.
, "Northern Zhou" refers to Zhou Xuexi, the pioneer of new-style industry and commerce in North China.
The reason why Liu Zhenming didn't ask Yuan Shikai for help was because he would look for him as long as there was a little thing. Not only would he not reflect his own value, but it would easily make Yuan Shikai look down upon him.
In about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the Zhili Crafts Bureau. Liu Zhenming dismounted and submitted a visit to the post. Soon after, a servant came out to inform him of his entry.
The followers walked through a large alley and arrived at a courtyard. Liu Zhenming actually saw four or five students squatting in the courtyard to study a pile of iron ore.
The servant saw Liu Zhenming showing curiosity and couldn't help but praise him: "Mr. Zhou is a capable official. Our General Administration of Technology has an industrial school, an internship workshop, an educational product manufacturing institute and an iron workshop. Master Zhou said the reason why he is
The Zhili Craft Bureau was created to follow the mimoto Meiji Restoration, "promoting education and manufacturing"
Liu Zhenming couldn't help but feel respectful, because there were too few people doing business in this era, and too many people were talking nonsense. Moreover, this little servant had such insights, which shows that Zhou Xuexi was not an ordinary person.
After a moment, the servant led him to the door of the living room.
"There are guests inside?" Liu Zhenming stopped and asked with a frown.
The servant smiled indifferently and replied, "The guest refused to leave after he persuaded him. Lord Zhou was having a headache. After Mr. Liu entered, he was able to get out."
Liu Zhenming couldn't help but smile when he heard this. There were still customers who could not drive away, and I don't know who it was.
After walking in, Liu Zhenming saw a familiar figure - Lu Bicheng. Although he only saw her side face, Liu Zhenming could confirm that it was her.
Lu Bicheng looked a little haggard, a little clear, but it did not hurt her Tianxiangguose, and her delicate and elegant style were incomparable and could no one imitate it.
At this moment, she seemed to be questioning Zhou Xuexi in front of him, while Zhou Xuexi, who was facing the door, smiled bitterly. When he heard the footsteps and saw Liu Zhenming coming in, he couldn't help but show a sigh of relief.
"Miss Lu, Mr. Liu has something to discuss with me. Why don't you change your business? How about we talk about it?" Zhou Xuexi suddenly stood up as if he suddenly regained his energy and quickly met Liu Zhenming.
Liu Zhenming was amused: It was clearly the first time we met, but Zhou Xuexi acted like an old friend this time. It seemed that he really wanted to send Lu Cai Nu away as soon as possible. I don’t know what this Lu Cai Nu said.
"Mr. Zhou, there is priority and priority. Lan Qing's affairs are related to half of the world. How can you be postponed? Please make a decision today, otherwise Lan Qing will just stay here and not leave."
Lu Bicheng said softly and thornyly, turning his head to see who ruined his good deeds. When her black and beautiful eyes turned around, her pretty eyes fell on Liu Zhenming, and then,
However, there was a change in the face of the jade, and the change in the face of the jade was clear and obvious.
snort!
The girl Lu Cai snorted lightly and turned her face aside, as if Liu Zhenming had offended her.
Zhou Xuexi pretended not to hear her words, stepped forward and took Liu Zhenming's hand, and said with a warm look: "Ziqian is here, come, sit in it quickly."
Since Zhou Xuexi was so enthusiastic, how could Liu Zhenming let him down? He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is so polite. Liu came here just to ask what happened to Lord Zhou last time."
Zhou Xuexi was slightly stunned, and a embarrassed look flashed across his face. The reason why he was so enthusiastic was just to send Lu Bicheng away, and he thought that Liu Zhenming would go down the road.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuexi was also a little anxious and said with a smile: "Oh, oh, that matter, let's talk about it again, let's talk about it again." (To be continued...)
