The first year of Xuantong was a very magical and ridiculous year.

Under the rule of Zaifeng, the Regent of the Qing Empire, the Governor of Zhili became Yinchang, the Governor of Liangjiang was Duanfang of the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner, the Governor of Huguang was Ruicheng of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was Tin of the Mongolian Inlaid Blue Banner. Liang, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is Songshou of the Manchurian Zhengbai Banner, the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou is Zhao Erxun of the Han Zhengbai Banner, the Governor of Sichuan is Zhao Erfeng of the Zhengbai Banner, and the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is Chang Geng.

Zaifeng thought he had obtained a complete suppression of the Han people and confiscated the military power of the Han people. In the end, only Song Biao was left to deal with, and he was also planning how to deal with Song Biao. At this time, he was extremely confident and he was all in his own hands no matter how he looked at it. Absolute advantage, holding the military power of the world against the new Northeast Army.

At the end of this year, the Northeast Daily published the 1909 fiscal bulletin of the Finance Department of the Governor's Office of the Three Eastern Provinces. The total fiscal revenue of the three provinces was 253 million yuan in Qing Dynasty silver dollars, which was about 10,000 pounds.

This news directly scared Zaifeng, the regent of the Qing Empire.

At this point, there is enough military expenditure and enough military strength. Regardless of whether Zaifeng is ready or not, Song Biao is ready to take action anyway. What he has to do is to mobilize the entire army and wait for chaos within the pass. If the pass does not He had to make chaos in the pass by himself.

...

Because of his daughter's birth and his wife Shu Xuan's confinement period, after returning from Haizhou inspection, Song Biao never visited other places again. He rarely went to work at the Governor's Office during this period and spent most of his time at home. Office. We must enjoy the joy of becoming a father for the first time, and also start various later work to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.

It should be said that there is only half a year left before he establishes the Chinese Empire.

He has been waiting long enough.

That morning, Zhang Bishi led his eldest son Zhang Zhijun to the Song Mansion to pay homage to Song Biao. Congratulations to Song Biao for his happy victory. For this reason, Zhang Bishi really prepared a gift of 1,000 taels of gold.

When Song Biao went out to greet Zhang Bishi himself, he was also a little surprised to see this generous gift.

He took Zhang Bishi and his son to his study, and Song Biao casually asked them to sit down and asked the orderly soldiers to pour tea. He took the list of gifts with gilded textures sent by Zhang Bishi in his hand and glanced at them.

I felt that Zhang Bishi was really generous. Song Biao laughed and joked with Zhang Bishi: "Dong Zhang must have made a lot of money recently, and he is very generous in his efforts."

Zhang Bishi thanked and said, "This is thanks to the care of Lord Zhongtang."

Song Biao nodded slightly and reminded: "What should be sold is to be sold. If you don't sell at a high price, do you have to wait for the low price? I have received some very conclusive news from the United States, and it is said that the US Congress will pass an emergency. Legislation prohibits the import of rubber. The United States is the world's largest rubber importer, accounting for half of the total imports in the international market. Once this method is established, the international rubber price will plummet immediately."

Zhang Bishi replied cautiously: "After Lord Zhongtang reminded me several times, I have been selling rubber stocks gradually during this period, but the price of rubber stocks in Shanghai is also quite high. It is estimated that it will rise for a while!"

Song Biao sneered without hesitation: "Then let them rise, it should have nothing to do with us."

Zhang Bishi laughed and said, "What Master Zhongtang said is very much."

The two of them said a lot of nonsense until now. This time, not only was they expected, but they were also the result of their intentional indulgence.

Zhang Bishi's identity is very complicated. His son is one of the main members of the Nanyang Restoration Association, he is a member of the Anglican Church, a leader and richest man in Nanyang Chinese business, a giant in the textile industry in the three eastern provinces, and a pioneer in the Chinese wine industry.

With the advice and help of Song Biao, Nanyang Bank was founded.

Some things will be very effective if you leave them to Zhang Bishi to secretly handle.

Some of the cooperation between Song Biao and Zhang Bishi are really not suitable for public disclosure. In short, in the rubber storm, even if Zhang Bishi is one of Song Biao's most important helpers, all Song Biao has to do is to make it possible.

What happens quietly to the level that must happen.

For example, the Shanghai financial crisis, the national petition movement, the national railway nationalization of the Qing Empire, and the national road protection movement will happen. When patriotism becomes the last reason for rogue, the demise of the country is inevitable, whether it is the Qing government or the gentry.

In other words, both sides are cultural hooligans who do not understand the universal spirit. They use the most rogue means to govern the country, and use the rogue means to protect their rights and interests.

The only difference is that Song Biao will not continue to watch the wall. He will personally send people to participate and pour kerosene on the constitutionalists and the Manchus, so that their struggle will burn.

Without conspiracy, you cannot become an emperor and do real big things. This is roughly the most important new understanding of Song Biao in the past few years.

From another perspective, Song Biao and Zhang Bishi are also special scoundrels in another sense. They just conspired with a very vicious thing more insidiously, and they never mention it, even if they do not want to deal with their children.

Say it out.

Zhang Bishi still wanted to say something, and after thinking about it, he said to Song Biao in a double sentence: "Master Zhongtang, what you should do is almost done, it is time to set up new and replace old ones, although I am only one session

Merchants have a lot of expectations for this and hope to make some contributions.”

Song Biao quietly raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Bishi more. Looking at the person in front of him, he thought of many things and replied simply: "I understand it all."

Zhang Bishi smiled and said, "That's really a matter of congratulations to the Lord Zhongtang for winning the daughter of the princess."

Song Biao said: "Yes...thank you for your kindness."

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Zhijun sitting next to Zhang Bishi. This middle-aged man in his forties once studied in the Netherlands and was said to be just a real playboy.

This is a very good family with huge wealth and is very meaningful to the Chinese capital industry. So Song Biao introduced a marriage to Zhang Zhijun very early and introduced a very capable young man to Zhang Bishi's little boy

The daughter is her husband and is a son-in-law to Zhang Bishi.

Zhang Zhijun understood that Song Biao had always been a little cold in his attitude towards him. Although he was the main member of the Nominal Restoration Association, Song Biao was just giving him a chance to pay his father's expenses and efforts.

Looking at Song Biao's cold expression, Zhang Zhijun was uneasy, and his heart was filled with some unspeakable fear. He admired the person in front of him, and was afraid of this person.

Zhang Bishi felt this quietly and felt very regretful, but he understood that Song Biao was always full of real contempt for incompetent people from wealthy families, just like Song Biao's disdain for Manchus.

Even so, he still took Zhang Zhijun to pay homage to Song Biao with a lucky attitude. It was just because he was a father, and Zhang Zhijun was his eldest son, and other children may not be much better than Zhang Zhijun.

The family business is so big, but I can't find someone to entrust.

Only Song Biao could understand the sadness in his heart.

Zhang Bishi had to make himself stronger and ordered Zhang Zhijun: "Zhijun, since you have already paid homage to Lord Zhongtang, then go out first. I have to discuss some other things with Lord Zhongtang here."

Zhang Zhijun couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he could only get up and say goodbye to Song Biao. His father was silently like a person abandoned by power and the upper world. He walked out of the study with increasingly nervousness, like an expelled person.

When he left, Zhang Bishi said, "Mr. Zhongtang, you are finally a parent. It is really gratifying. You should have more children, so you can have more options to inherit the family business, especially Zhongtang's family business.

.”

Song Biao nodded in agreement and said, "Dr. Zhang, I think you are talking about your own affairs."

Zhang Bishi was a little sad and said, "It's just because I feel it."

Song Biao said, "Zhang Hongsheng is a very good young man. Although he failed to graduate from St. John's University, his grades at Fengtian Business School are indeed good. He has also been very grateful for his two years at Far East Business. Since you will

My daughter has married him, so why not bring him back to me and see what the effect is."

Zhang Bishi was quite surprised and said, "I have this intention. I just thought that Rong Xingqiao attached great importance to my son-in-law, and I am afraid that he would not give up easily, so he was unable to speak up for a long time."

Song Biao said: "It doesn't matter. Rong Xingqiao and I have talked about this a long time ago. Let Zhang Hongsheng go and help you."

Zhang Bishi seemed relieved. In the past two years, Zhang Hongsheng, the future industrial giant of the Republic of China, has been in charge of agricultural products foreign trade and sugar exports in Far East Commercial Bank. His achievements have been quite exciting, and even Rong Xingqiao praised it.

Everyone knows that this young man is a business genius, so Zhang Bishi is willing to marry his daughter to him.

Song Biao thought about it and said, "Zhang Zhijun has no excellence in the Nanyang Restoration Association and Nanyang Bank in the past two years. Zhang's business is too big. I think he may be difficult to control. Zhang should make plans early.

.”

Zhang Bishi naturally understood Song Biao's intentions in these good arrangements and praised: "Thank you for your advice, I understand it in my heart."

Song Biao has something to say without saying. Because of the special nature of the Anglican Church, it is very difficult to recommend a person to join the association. Zhang Zhijun has no possibility of this. If he does not join this association, he wants to truly walk on the same road as the Song Mansion.

It is impossible.

Although Zhang Bishi was very rich, he knew very well that only by continuing to get close to the Song Mansion would the family's special prosperity be maintained.

Song Biao felt a little sad when talking about such a heavy topic, but he felt that before the great cause, human feelings were so cold, as if this world should not need human feelings.

Thinking of this, Song Biao changed the topic and said to Zhang Bishi: "Zhendan University has developed well in recent years, but it has always been supported by Far East Commercial Bank. I thought I would like to invite you to join the school board, otherwise

Let Zhang Zhijun join the board of directors. I see that it is suitable, he is still a very steady and cautious person."

Zhang Bishi nodded slightly and smiled, "This is a good deed, thank you Lord Zhongtang."

Song Biao has been high above the clouds for too long, as if he has forgotten what kind of expression he smiled, but he still smiled and replied: "It should be that I want to represent Zhendan University and the higher education of the three northeastern provinces, thank you Zhang Mansion.

, It is related to the cultivation of national elites, and we must sincerely thank you.”

Zhang Bishi said: "Actually, during these days, I have also considered investing in a university in Jinzhou to contribute more effort to the education of the people."

Song Biao nodded, not taking it seriously.

Zhang Bishi's current net worth has exceeded 25 million pounds, and it is still very simple to invest in a self-run university. Zhang Bishi has been studying the Far East Consortium hosted by Rong Xingqiao in the past four years. He has invested in the establishment of Nanyang Commercial Bank in Singapore and Rotterdam, using Nanyang

The parent company of Shangying Holdings founded Nanyang Bank. The Shangying Bank owns Nanyang Yuchang Textile Company, Nanyang Hengchang Shipping Company, Dutch Indonesian Rubber Planting Company, Nanyang Sugar Industry Company, Nanyang Singapore Real Estate Company, Nanyang Indonesian Tobacco Company, Nanyang Tea Planting Company, Nanyang

Brothers Tobacco Company, Nanyang Yuchang Shipyard, Shanghai Land Company, Yantai Changyu Wine Company and more than 20 companies.

By selling rubber futures with Far East Commercial Bank, stockpiling rubber stocks. Zhang Bishi's capital growth in the past two years is extremely fast. If he can cash out £21 million worth of rubber futures and stocks he holds as planned in the next few months as planned, he will be able to cash out the £21 million worth of rubber futures and stocks he holds as planned in the next few months.

If capital is transferred back to China and Nanyang, it will surely become a new business overlord.

In other words, the Far East Consortium taught Chinese businessmen a lesson and taught you a photo lesson on "how to create a chaebol". Any Chinese businessman with some strength is investing in and setting up factories according to this model, and Far East Commercial Bank is also actively participating.

In the integration of other Chinese business consortiums, they both hold shares in Nanyang Bank and Shanghai Bank, helping Jinshang, Huishang and Guangdong merchants to form Jinshang Bank, Huishang Bank, and Guangdong merchants. In Jiangnan Bank and Tianjin Bank,

The establishment of Ningbo Bank and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank and the reorganization of China Merchants Bank have all played a very important role.

These large and small banks have begun to become new hubs for business groups in various parts of China, playing an important role in the development of China's capital industry. These banks also played a role needed by the Far East Consortium - expanding the three eastern provinces and various places in the customs

The trade made silver more convenient and faster flow into the three northeastern provinces.

Zhang Bishi is getting richer, but he is becoming more and more awe of Song Biao. Seeing that Song Biao is not very interested in his proposal to donate to a university in Jinzhou, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, so he asked again: "I don't know how to do it."

As adults see, how should domestic education be managed?"

Song Biao thought about it and replied: "I think this matter is, you can discuss it with Tang Shaoyi and Chen Baochen. They have put forward a good idea for education in the three northeastern provinces. As for education in the three northeastern provinces in the past few years

The public school system is still very good, and middle schools in various places have also been run with the support of official fees. However, there is a general problem of lack of teachers. Therefore, the fundamental reason for domestic education is to focus on normal schools first.

Modern normal schools can only be used as a modern basic education. At this stage of education in the three northeastern provinces, we must vigorously advocate the establishment of various junior colleges. Considering the issue of student source, our current idea is to establish two junior colleges, namely the three-year and five-year schools.

, after graduating from high school, you can study in a junior college, with a three-year secondary college and a five-year secondary college. Each university, college and province re-built office schools, and it is a preparatory school. Northeastern University, Zhendan University, Northeast Normal University,

Northeast University of Political Science and Law, Northeast Medical University, and Harbin Institute of Technology are the centers of education in the three northeastern provinces. Of course, it must be done well. Others should focus on junior college education and basic education. First, cultivate basic talents, and then cultivate professional talents. Finally,
