Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 257 The slowly rising aura of foster father

Once in the Genesis plane, Wang Shouliang returned to Nandu once and planned the melatonin series sold at Zhutian Mall. When he returned to Hong Kong Island, he saw Ni Yongxiao who wanted to buy melatonin as soon as he got off the plane.

That feeling is quite messy.

He also did not expect that in March 1905, when he came to Lushun to deliver a heavy artillery group to improve the actual combat capabilities of the artillery department of his Sihai Escort Bureau, and while inspecting and rewarding the troops, he would meet Bai Xiuzhu, who was twelve or thirteen years old!

Yes, when he first saw that person, he thought he was dazzled.

It was when he continued to glance at the braided man next to him that Wang Shouliang suddenly realized that this should be the story of the golden powder family.

The Jinfen Family tells the story of the love, hatred, and dissolute life of one of the young masters of the Jin family, Jin Yanxi, in the early years of the Republic of China. His love, love, and love were involved in various major changes in the Republic of China, which seemed a bit weird.

Jin Yanxi is a prodigal, a dandy, a scumbag...

The beginning of the story is not clearly stated in the years of the Republic of China, but there is a big indication that after the Jin family was shattered and declined, it collapsed like the Jia family in the Dream of Red Mansions.

Bai Xiuzhu tricked Jin Yanxi once, and then went to Hansmao to get married.

This direction is outrageous. In the early years of the Republic of China, you went to Hans Cat to get married. Was it the Hans Cat before World War I, or the Hans Cat during World War I? After World War I? ? !

At that time, Bai Xiuzhu's brother Bai Xiongqi was already the prime minister.

There is a high probability that he would not send his own sister to a war-torn world to get married.

Even Bai Xiongqi knew that this was the late Qing Dynasty, but there were too many signs of troubled times.

Therefore, the finale of Jinfen Family should be before the outbreak of World War I... Before that, Bai Xiongqi sent Bai Xiuzhu to study in an island country.

Even the leading actor Jin Yanxi had just celebrated his 20th birthday a few years before marrying Leng Qingqiu.

He was a civil servant with a traditional scholar background. Like Wang Shouliang, he had passed the examinations of scholar, civil servant, and Jinshi, and had also studied in an island country.

Was that a period when the war was in full swing and tens of millions of people were killed or injured? This probability is also very small.

Bai Xiuzhu, who was in her 20s at the time, was twelve or thirteen years old in 1905, which was normal.

"But I have encountered one, and I will give you a clear path. My fleet still lacks a special commander. Are you interested in doing something?"

It won't take long for Wang Shouliang to save two to three thousand Pearl River T-cars, as well as his current giant ships and cannons, which are larger than the island nation's fleet at its peak.

"What do you mean by a strong man and two women?"

A moment later, when Bai Xiongqi and three others arrived at the ten 150MM heavy artillery battery, Lao Bai bowed respectfully and said hello, and on behalf of so and so, he solemnly thanked Wang Shouliang for his great contribution to rescuing the compatriots in Northeast China.

Bai Xiongqi hurriedly apologized, "It was my poor thinking that made the big shopkeeper laugh. I wonder if the big shopkeeper is interested in serving as the governor of the three provinces at the same time?"

It was so frightening that Datou had nightmares for several nights!

The members of the escort bureau under the banner are even afraid of the big head and cannot sleep well.

But based on his experience of being able to take up the post of Prime Minister of Beiyang in the future, he has already understood what is the biggest thing in troubled times? Guns and blood.

The finale was before 1914.

Wang Shouliang sent a fleet to Ludong once, which scared the old witch into hasty northern patrol. She had conducted a drill in Ludong before, sending 800 men over three days and covering more than 300 kilometers.

Could it be that shopkeeper Wang really fell in love with his sister? It's a good thing, it's a good thing that you will wake up laughing from your dreams.

Wang Shouliang looked impatient when he heard this kind of red tape. After giving the order for the artillery department to launch the second round of heavy artillery drills, the terrifying roar of artillery fire shocked several people again, and they were stunned, numb, and stupid.

But in the past few years, Shopkeeper Wang of the Sihai Escort Bureau has become famous for his wealth. He has long been recognized by countless people as the richest man in China, and may even be the richest man in the world.

No matter what kind of person Bai Xiongqi was, whether he was cunning or cunning, or whether he always wanted to send his sister to seek glory, he himself loved and cared for his sister Bai Xiuzhu.

This small group of artillery fires, and the huge roar is too common for normal people to be deafened. If it were not for the order to fire, he directly took out two handkerchiefs and handed them to Bai Xiuzhu, indicating to the other party to cover their ears.

Wang Shouliang glanced at Bai Xiuzhu, who was covering his ears with handkerchiefs, his whole body numb, and looked at Bai Xiongqi with a toothache on his face, "Old Bai, what do you think? No matter who you are visiting me for, convey What's the meaning."

There is no need to mention how miserable Hanscat was after World War I, otherwise there would not have been failures. This means that Bai Xiuzhu left the Republic of China and went to Hanscat. There is a very high probability that it will not be Hanscat after the war.

After she returned from studying in the island country, the Jin Yanxi Jin Mansion was shattered, and the heroine Leng Qingqiu left the Jin family and went to the south, where countless progressive people gathered, to rush towards the era of freedom.

Wang Shouliang also smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, remember what you said, go back first, this is not the place you should come."

fleet? That's really...

For ambitious and young men like Bai Xiongqi, it seems that they have seen the slowly rising halo of a foster father.

Again, that inappropriate example. It took several months for the Eight-Power Allied Forces to invade China from Dagukou to the capital. However, it was only over 100 kilometers from Dagukou to the capital.

Even though his biological sister is only 13 years old... This is the late Qing Dynasty, and his sister is already over meters tall, very tall and beautiful, but her baby fat is more prominent, making her look a bit young and childish.

I guess Xiaobai will be deaf for a while.

Under his words, Wang Shouliang waved his hand and complained, "You are a bit unruly, so be it, I have no interest in the governors of the three provinces."

Theoretically, how long does it take to get to Beijing from Dagukou? Two days or three days? ?

After the old witch made another panic-stricken patrol to the north, she took away a large number of people and did not dare to return to Beijing. Datou is currently experiencing constant nightmares.

But there is really no news that the man surnamed Wang has a girlfriend that is disclosed and recognized by the public.

Of course, he wouldn't say it clearly. He originally thought that his teacher's family, Jin Yanxi, was the best destination for his sister. Not only had the two known each other since childhood, but they could also help him embark on a smooth career path.

What’s even more outrageous is that Wang Shouliang is still single and is said to be in his mid-twenties. Although he has hired a group of maids and maids for daily entertainment in Yau Ma Tei Villa, the Prince’s Mansion in Shanghai and other places, and is responsible for serving tea. Water and cleaning stuff.

"Your current prestige in this area is well known to everyone. It can be said that thousands of families are born Buddha..."

Say hello to so-and-so on behalf of so-and-so and pay a visit to shopkeeper Wang Da.

Bai Xiongqi, who would become a civil servant and minister in the Beiyang Group in the future, was still working in the Qing court with pigtails in early 1905. It was normal.

In the late Qing Dynasty, ladies whose feet were not bound were pretty tall at over 1.5 meters.

Bai Xiong was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically said, "If the boss can see it, I will go up to the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire, and I will never frown!"

When Bai Xiongqi turned around with his fiancée and sister and walked back to Port Arthur, Wang Shouliang lit a cigarette and asked Xu Si, "How many merchant ships are employed in the guano business on Nauru Island?"

Xu Si suddenly realized, "We have already acquired a large number of merchant ships from the island country, ranging from wooden sails combined with steam power to steel steamships."

"There have already been forty or fifty ships, with a total displacement of more than 70,000 tons. Most of them are small ships of several hundred tons. It is three large ships of 10,000 tons that support the total displacement."

"Including private employment, the total displacement can reach 12 tons." Wang Shouliang nodded, "Let Bai Xiongqi serve as the commander-in-chief of the guano trading fleet. He has some ability to coordinate and negotiate the guano trade and transportation, and then To be sent to the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and North China Plain..."

"It is true that we are lacking a general manager. Our farm group has a lot of potential to do, and there is still a lot of waste to be done!"

If Lao Bai can become a prime minister in the future, if he can't handle the matter of bird droppings as fertilizer, it will be too useless and there will be no need for his existence.

As for Bai Xiuzhu? She was a little girl, and it seemed that she was still the dog-tempered little girl described by many relatives in the original story.

I've ruined my talent as a fairy, and my makeup is a bit low-key and tacky. If I just put on a straight black student outfit, my makeup would look much better than now.

………………

The war in Lushun has been over for more than six months. In a certain building rebuilt on the ruins of the city, when Bai Xiongqi arrived in the living room with his fiancée and sister, he saw a middle-aged man drinking tea. He quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Teacher, the Grand Treasurer of Sihai has invited me to serve as the special commander of the Sihai Fleet."

Before the middle-aged man could say anything, Bai Xiongqi affirmed, "I agreed. Thanks to the great shopkeeper Wang, I will do my best to live up to his trust."

The middle-aged Jin Quan was confused for a long time, stared at Bai Xiong and said, "Are you sure you have the ability to command the fleet?"

Bai Xiong smiled brightly, "I don't have it, but I can learn it."

"The earliest Sihai Fleet also recruited mostly illiterate men from good families. After three or four years, haven't there been many ordinary people who have risen from little people like dust to become escort chiefs and chief escort chiefs?"

"I think with my resume, as long as you are willing to learn, you can still make a career."

Jin Quan was confused for a while again, then nodded, "I hope you didn't go the wrong way."

What could he say? Again, since the three-day armed cross-country exercise of more than 300 kilometers from Qindao to Zhangqiu ended, anyone with a discerning eye knows that times have changed.

It has become so outrageous and exaggerated.

The area of ​​more than 100 kilometers from Dagukou to Beijing, without relying on railways, can allow groups of cars and bicycles to race at great speed, and thousands of elites can be there at a moment's notice.

That place in the capital doesn’t even feel safe even when sleeping!

That was the real boss of Beiyang. As early as early January more than two months ago, Wang Shouliang's Sihai Fleet entered the Tsushima Strait from the Whale Sea and directly blackmailed the Japanese for 100 million taels of gold equivalent to silver.

The Japs could only give money, and that was the Japs who won the battle for Lushun.

In order to win, they even dismantled part of Tokyo's 280MM coastal defense heavy artillery, in a terrifying new naval battle and land battle mode.

The escape of the old witch and the escape of the Japanese emperor... seem to be very rare.

Otherwise, why did Jin Quan rush to Lushun after receiving the news? He is the backbone of the Beiyang traditional civil servant system.

Then I suddenly learned that my beloved disciple was going to change jobs and work for the Sihai Fleet? Leaving Beiyang? He didn't know how to evaluate it either.

Good birds choose trees to roost in!

Bai Xiongqi smiled again and said, "Teacher, I also plan to send Xiuzhu to study in Hong Kong Island. I heard that there is no shortage of girls' schools there."

After speaking, he looked at Bai Xiuzhu, "Xiuzhu, what do you think?"

Bai Xiuzhu was also at a loss, "Ah, I don't know."

She was still too young, and she had never been to the scene to see a large-scale artillery bombing scene. As for the Gengzi Revolution a few years ago? She was so young...she was eight years old.

Not to mention that her eldest brother and his teacher Jin Quan were members of Datou's civil servants. They were all in Ludong and avoided the fall of the capital during the Gengzi Revolution.

Jin Quan took a deep look at his beloved disciple and said, "It doesn't matter if Xiuzhu goes to Hong Kong Island. I heard that Hong Kong Island at this stage has become the most prosperous, safe and prosperous international metropolis in Asia, just like Shanghai."

"Especially Yau Tsim Mong, as the birthplace of the Sihai Escort Bureau and one of the take-off bases of our national industry, it is full of high-rise buildings and large enterprises."

When I was young, I was too young to see some things. To say that Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Yanxi were childhood sweethearts, it was better to say they were playmates. When they were young, his daughter Jin Meili and Bai Xiuzhu had a close relationship.

In the past two years, Bai Xiongqi had secretly planned a matchmaking, but Jin Yanxi was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and when he was naughty, he played wildly in school all day long.

The thoughts of a rebellious young man are far less precocious than those of girls of the same age.

Bai Xiongqi had already planned to part ways with his family and run to embrace the big ship in the world. He didn't bother to care too much. More importantly, he couldn't think of it at all and couldn't figure it out. He just went to visit Wang Shouliang on behalf of the bosses and inquired whether the other party had any I am interested in becoming the governor of three provinces.

Why did that guy fall in love with Bai Xiongqi? The special commander of the fleet?

What level of commander is that? Even if the squadron commander only sails one Yellow Sea and one Beihai, he is still invincible with the Qingshui Division.

Not knowing the importance of this commander, Jin Quan was a little afraid to speak loudly to Bai Xiongqi.

………………

On April 1905, 4, the spring breeze became warmer.

I went to a certain pier in Shanghai and looked at the port, which was densely packed with steel and wood, and hundreds of large ships spewing huge amounts of smoke into the sky.

The leading flagship is the Donghai, which has a displacement of more than 305 tons and is also equipped with two MM heavy artillery turrets.

Wang Shouliang smiled and looked at Bai Xiongqi beside him, "Old Bai, from today on, you are the commander of the fertilizer fleet of farm groups from Nauru to me."

"Work hard. As long as you do things well, I will definitely not treat my people badly."

"There are many complicated things from agricultural fertilizer trading to shipping and transportation to decent waterways and land railways to farms in various places, and we lack a person in charge who can fully control them."

"Don't get too excited and do your best!"

Bai Xiongqi, "..."

He was in such a mess that he even felt that he had been cheated. However, facing Shopkeeper Wang, he could only smile brightly and promise to do his best like a military order.

What else to do? He has already switched jobs from Beiyang. If he doesn't work hard, do you think Datou will spare him? Sometimes, traitors are the most hated.

For him to change jobs during that period was, to put it bluntly, a betrayal and a traitor.

Wang Shouliang smiled brightly again and said to Bai Xiuzhu, "Don't dislike your brother. If he can feed tens of millions of compatriots in China during the time of natural and man-made disasters, it will be a great merit."

"When you go to Hong Kong Island, study hard and go to school, and strive to be a person who is useful to the world and the people."

Bai Xiuzhu took a deep breath and smiled sweetly, "Well, thank you to the shopkeeper for being considerate. I will definitely try harder."
