In the afternoon sun in Fuzhou City, a carriage slowly drove outside the side door of the Fujian Governor's Office. When the curtain was lifted, a beautiful girl dressed in a very fashionable manner but had a dark complexion came out of it. The guards on duty at the door seemed quite familiar with this beautiful girl.

Not only did he not have the intention of checking, he also came up to welcome him with a smile.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Chang! Are you still here to find Mrs. Sixteenth today?" It turned out that the person who came was Chang Ruiqing's concubine Zhao Xianger. Chang Ruiqing also bought a house in Fuzhou City, making Zhao Xianger and the already young lady afraid that Wang Ruonan would come to live there for a while.

As soon as Zhao Xianger arrives in Fuzhou City, she will come to the Supervisory Office every now and then to meet her "god sister" Wu Yan'er. She has come a lot, and even the guards in the Supervisory Office recognize her. Moreover, Wu Yan'er is favored now, so the watchdogs in the Supervisory Office naturally look up to their godsister and let them go without checking them.

However, Zhao Xianger had already prepared a banknote from the Bank of China and quietly stuffed it to the guard, saying, "Brother, have a little bit of a word, take it to buy wine." Then he moved his lotus steps and entered the Supervisor's Courtyard. He turned a few turns and passed a few porches, and then arrived at a small building next to the Houhuā Garden. This is Wu Yan'er's residence, which can be regarded as the most elegant place in the Supervisor's Office.

There were several servants in blue clothes and hats in front of the building, and they were cleaning. When they saw Zhao Xianger bowing and saluting. The rules in Li Houji's house were very generous, everything was moved from Li Hongzhang's mansion. Zhao Xianger said to one of the older officials: "Manager Li, is Mrs. Sixteenth in there?" "When I go back to the second grandma Chang, Mrs. Sixteenth and the master are all there." The manager replied respectfully.

"Okay, then please inform me. I'm here to meet the governor today." Zhao Xianger took out another banknote and stuffed it in: "Manager Li, I made an appointment with the governor to discuss a small business with the governor for me."

The manager stuffed the banknotes into his pocket, bowed respectfully, and then turned around and went into the house to report. After a few minutes, he walked down with a smile on his face: "Second Grandma Chang, the master is welcome." Zhao Xianger nodded at him with a smile, and then walked in the door alone. At this time, Wu Yan'er had already supported Li Houji and walked slowly down from the upstairs. Wu Yan'er was wearing a pink silk cheongsam and had a bit of messy hair. Li Houji was wearing a silk coat and holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand.

When he saw Zhao Xianger, he smiled lustfully: "It turns out it is Mrs. Chang Er. He is really a rare guest.

"As he said that, he pointed to another seat with his palm fan and signaled Zhao Xianger to take a seat.

Xiang'er was not polite, and sat down and said with a smile: "What a rare guest? I've come here to talk to my sister every few days." "Oh, that's right, very good, I'll come and walk around often in the future." Li Houji smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Xiang'er lustfully. Yan'er, who was beside him, saw Li Houji's performance, snorted and said coquettishly: "Sister Xiang'er is the heart of the commander Chang'er. How could he run to the Supervisor's Office if he has something to do? Today, he has something to do!" "It's serious?" Li Houji was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the other party was here to discuss business with him. It seemed that he had something to do with some Chinese bank. In fact, Li Houji was not interested in this so-called business at all. It was just to make Wu Yan'er happy, so he came out to coax the two women.

"Hi, it's not a big deal.... Zhao Xianger waved her hand indifferently: "It's just that she heard from Sister Yan'er that Governor Li had a large amount of cash in his hands in Taiwan Bank in Japan, and there was not much interest, so she thought of a financial path... It was the matter of China Bank recruiting commercial stocks. I wonder if Governor Li had heard of it?"

"Well, I heard of it." Li Houji nodded without comment. Of course he knew about the recruitment of commercial stocks by Bank of China. In fact, this governor Li was a "financial report" not only had a silver dollar bureau minting silver dollars, but also controlled a bank that could issue banknotes. By minting silver dollars and discovering banknotes, Li Houji has also accumulated amazing wealth in recent years. However, these accumulated assets have no investment. Besides, apart from issuing banknotes and minting silver dollars, ordinary industry and commerce have the risk of losing money, so it is indeed a pity that the cash in Li Dajun was deposited into a Taiwanese bank opened by the Japanese. It is indeed a pity to get a little bit of interest. However, it seems that he was not relieved to use the money to invest in Bank of China. After all, the aftermath of the "Beijing ticket incident" has not yet completely passed!

Wu Yan'er looked at Li Houji and said with a smile: "Master, you probably don't know yet. The travel commander and Mr. Zhang Gongquan, the manager of Bank of China, are very close friends. They have invested hundreds of thousands of yuan in Bank of China. Now they are also the major shareholder of Bank of China. If the master can invest millions, the master will be the largest shareholder of Bank of China in the future. The bank's business is the master's final word! With the golden signboard of Bank of China, the master's silver dollars will be passed through the whole country."

As soon as he heard the word "silver dollar", a glimmer flashed in Li Houji's eyes. Privately minted silver dollars is his biggest financial opportunity. Crushing one dollar will bring you a net profit of 20 cents! Then you should discount the silver dollars to banks and money shops in other provinces... If you can directly enter the sales channels of Bank of China, you will have at least a half percent profit! And with the Bank of China platform, the sales volume of silver dollars can be at least several times. In this way, the two or three million invested in Bank of China will be able to pay the capital in less than a year!

Zhao Xianger had already seen that Li Houji had become interested, smiled at him, and said, "Entering shares in Bank of China is a big deal. I am just a woman's family. If the general is really interested, I can ask Yaoru to contact Mr. Zhang Gongquan and invite him to Fuzhou. How about it?"

Li Houji was also thinking in his mind that the millions in his hands were not much interest in the Japanese bank. If he could really invest in part and control the Bank of China, he would not say that he would issue paper money indiscriminately... If he wanted to issue money indiscriminately, Song Hanzhang, Zhang Gongquan and others would not agree. As long as his silver dollars could be issued through the channels of Bank of China, he would be able to make a fortune! Besides, there will always be interest in investing in Bank of China?

If Zhang Gongquan agreed to let his silver dollars enter the Bank of China, this transaction is worth considering! It seems that this transaction is Chang Ruiqing, a kid, trying to please him in a different way, and he doesn't spend anything. No wonder this kid can climb to the high position of the brigade commander in less than a year, and he is really good at doing things.

Thinking of this, Li Houji nodded slightly at Zhao Xianger and smiled, "This line is a good link. Thank you for your travel commander for me. Please ask him to arrange Mr. Zhang Gongquan to come to Fuzhou... If this business can be completed, we will be our own people in the future. When I have the opportunity, I will make a little fatter for Yaoru."

Zhao Xianger hurriedly stood up to thank him, and Li Houji just waved his hand: "Okay, that's it. There is still official food in my office. Let's talk slowly." As he said that, he stood up and walked out with a swagger.

After sending General Li out of the door, the two women entered Wu Yan'er's bedroom. Wu Yan'er told his servants not to disturb him, and then closed the door and began to conspire again...

Well, it's a bit like that "female". However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the family of wealthy families with many wives and concubines. Anyway, it's not a bad guy. The maid of the Li family naturally hides far away with tactfulness. However, at this time, the two beauties in the house are serious.

Wu Yan'er sat on the edge of the bed, her pink face was solemn. Zhao Xianger found a chair and sat opposite her, took out a small and exquisite pistol from her inner pocket of her clothes, and handed it over: "Sister Yan'er, this is for you."

Wu Yan'er took the small pistol and frowned: "Why, do you still want me to do it?" Zhao Xianger nodded: "When Sa Zhenbing comes to Fuzhou next month, Li Houji will definitely go to the ponytail wharf to greet him. There will be gunmen setting up an ambush in the middle of the way, so you can take advantage of the chaos!" She paused again: "But one day before this, you will get Li Houji's Bank of China check and check seal! Zhang Gongquan will ask Li Houji to transfer the money to the account of the Bank of China Fuzhou Branch, and then transfer it to Shanghai for stocks. There will be more than a week in between. As long as there are checks and check seals, we can take the money away! Yaoru said that after the matter is done, he will give you 10%!"

Wu Yan'er frowned and said nothing, playing with the small pistol in her hand. After a while, she gently bit her lower lip: "Yisheng is hundreds of thousands of oceans, haha, it's true that wealth is in danger! Okay, I've done this!"

Zhao Xianger sighed softly, nodded heavily, and said, "Sister Yan'er, I understand your thoughts. When this matter is over, I will take you to the second master of Shanghai." Hearing this, Wu Yan'er's face turned red, and then he showed a complicated look: "So what if you go? That little unconscience..." Zhao Xianger smiled. It turns out that sister loves beauty, Ya'er loves money. He gently patted Yan'er's shoulder and smiled, "Sister Yan'er, you will have a chance when you go to Shanghai! Even if you have no name or no distinction! If you are like a person, you don't care about the world like us! As long as people and hearts are ours."

Xiamen, Gulangyu Public Concession.

The night gradually enveloped this small island full of exotic atmosphere. On both sides of the road were covered with Western-style villas, each with a garden. From time to time, you can see servants wearing various colors of white clothes sweeping in the garden, and white children like dolls playing. Occasionally, there were several owners with eastern holes hurriedly back home from Gulangyu Wharf. Most of them were large classes of Japanese foreign companies in the British Concession opposite Xiamen, or the children of a wealthy overseas Chinese.

The Indian policeman with red cloth wrapped around his head was patrolling lazily. The roads here are very quiet and there are few theft cases. They are completely a quiet mansion.

Chang Ruiqing was wearing a long robe, a top hat, and a cane in her hand, walking casually on the road on Gulangyu Island. Behind him were Wang Ruonan, Jin Yongyan, Hu Rouan and Xu Haoyu. Along the way, he looked at the exotic style around him with interest. A dozen people in black suits followed behind him, dressed by Chang Ruiqing's guard platoon.

Looking at the Western-style villas on both sides of the road, Chang Ruiqing turned around and smiled at Jin Yongyan: "Principal, this is probably the "backstage of Fujian, right? Is this place in Fujian now? Whose sphere of influence is now?"

Jin Yongyan nodded slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes: "This is Japan and Britain competing. The British built two concessions in Xiamen, Gulang here... The public concession also has the Xiamen British concession on the other side. Japan once signed a treaty with the Qing government to establish concessions in Fuzhou and Xiamen, but it was not built due to the British obstruction." Chang Ruiqing smiled and said, "So, is the British still the superior in Fujian?" Jin Yongyan shook his head: "Before the European War, Britain must have the upper hand. However, the British are now shrinking greatly, and the Japanese are aggressively trying to expand their power. Taiwan opposite, Penghu is now the Japanese territory."

Chang Ruiqing said lightly: "If the Japanese hadn't wanted to expand their power, they wouldn't have come to me as a small guard. I wonder if the Japanese wanted to support me as Zhang Zuoshuang in South China?" Jin Yongyan was stunned and laughed: "I hope this is the case. We want to gain this territory in Fujian, so we cannot be without the support of the great powers."

Wang Ruonan interrupted at this time:... Humph, how can the great powers support us for nothing? We have to rely on the Japanese to gain power. We are afraid we will be puppets in the future, right?"

Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly. His wife had a little bit of a progressive youth. I don’t know if she participated in the May Fourth Movement in the original history? But this little girl didn’t know that it would be impossible to have no foreign aid from the great powers in this troubled times of the Republic of China! And now Britain and France are trapped in the European war and the Soviet Union has not yet been established. Perhaps only Japan can be brought to serve as a backing! As for whether it will become a puppet, haha, isn’t there Comrade Zuo Min?

Several people walked along the road of Gulangyu for a while and arrived at the front of a huā garden villa. The door sign outside the villa clearly stated the words "The Great Japanese Empire Consulate in Xiamen". In front of the thick iron gate, Okamura Yanji and several Japanese diplomats in costumes were already waiting. Seeing Chang Ruiqing arrive, they bowed from afar.

Chang Ruiqing hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "Mr. Okamura, I've been away for many days, and I don't want to meet again in Xiamen."

Okamura Yasuji smiled like a huāer: "I am sent to the south to my brother Yaoru for the blessing, so I don't have to stay in Beijing to eat the wind and sand anymore."

The two of them laughed with their arms, as if they were friends for many years. Chang Ruiqing had his own wishful thinking about the future relationship between China, Japan and the Soviet Union... During this period in history, Japan sent a large Vladivostok sentry army to Russia! If they were to help the White Army as cheerleaders, Chang Ruiqing would not believe it even if he died! It depends on who can fool whom...

The two of them immediately hugged and bowed. After a while of greeting, they entered the Japanese consulate with a smile. A Chinese-style banquet had been set up in the consulate's restaurant.

Okamura Nagabi, a Japanese consul named Yoshida, as well as Chang Ruiqing, Jin Yongyan, Hu Rouqian, Wang Ruonan and others all divided the guests and hosts to sit down.

After some cups and cups, Okamura Yanji went straight to the point: "Brother Yaoru, I have some heartfelt words. I wonder if I can talk to you alone?" Chang Ruiqing's eyes turned and she smiled slightly: "We are all our own people here. Mr. Okamura will just say whatever he has."

Okamura Yasuji smiled, gently turning the wine glass in his hand, and pondered it: "As far as I know, Brother Yaoru has been a graduate of a military academy in just less than a year, and now he is a hero and a young man. I just don't know if Brother Yaoru has any further ideas?"

"Of course." Chang Ruiqing nodded with a smile: "...I am in troubled times and have elite soldiers in my hands. Of course, I want to wake up the power of the world. How can Ruiqing be exempted from the common people's knees?"

"Haha, it's good! It's good!" Okamura Nishi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I just don't know if Brother Yaoru has any specific plans?"

"Yes!" A murderous aura flashed across Chang Ruiqing's face: "To be honest with Mr. Okamura, the current situation in the north and south is only temporary! When the ancient affairs are decided, the central government will send troops to attack the southwest again! Then it is time for me to make achievements!" As he said that, his body leaned forward slightly, and a flattering smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Okamura, since you are asking for a meeting in Xiamen, I think you want to support me... It's better to sell sixteen Meiji Zou NPC mountain cannons to the Mixed Brigade first, so that we can get a gun regiment."

Okamura Yanji was stunned and thought to himself: "This Chang Ruiqing is very direct. He wanted benefits as soon as he met!" He nodded slightly: "It's easy to say, it's just sixteen mountain cannons. This little thing is for me. But with these mountain cannons, Yaoru's first-in-come brigade can capture Guangdong? Even if he can capture Guangdong, Yaoru can become the governor, will the governor?

There are a lot of respected seniors in the Beiyang faction, and they have not yet been properly placed!"

After hearing this, Chang Ruiqing's eyebrows suddenly became a clump: "Mr. Okamura, what do you mean?"

Kamura Yanji just smiled: "I am planning for my brother Yaoru and for the future of China. I have always believed that only Mr. Sun Yat-sen from Guangzhou can truly save China and unite China and Japan to create a new situation in Asia! Instead of working for Beiyang, you might as well turn to Mr. Sun and seize a province of Fujian. The Japanese Empire will fully support you!"!~!
