Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 4 Do You Have the Courage?

() Zhang Zuolin has dealt with Japan himself for a long time. In fact, since the Japanese-Russian War, Japan has penetrated into the three eastern provinces. Any military and political figure who wants to hang out here needs the approval of Japan.

Lao Zhang has also said a lot of things in the past, such as helping Japan with affairs, but those are all words of entertainment, which are not costly.In fact, Japan himself was still wary of Zhang Zuolin, mainly because Zhang Zuolin supported the republican system during the Revolution of [-] and defeated the first Manchurian independence instigated by Naniwa Kawashima and his group.Therefore, many Japanese people still regard Zhang Zuolin as a thorn in the flesh.

This time Zhang Zuolin was going to borrow money from Japan, and the Japanese side also expressed their approval. This is completely different from the previous contact.There is no doubt that this decision is related to the fate and future of more than 27 people in the 1th Division, and even related to the peace of the three eastern provinces. The pressure on Zhang Zuolin can be imagined.

"Old Ba, do you really have an idea? Tell me quickly!"

"Brother Seven, it's not that I have a solution, it's that Ting Lan has an idea, let him introduce it to you!"

It was only then that Zhang Zuolin noticed Zhang Tinglan who was following Zhang Zuoxiang. He thought Zhang Tinglan was just passing by, but Zhang Zuoxiang said that he could help him solve the problem. Old Zhang was stunned.He knew Zhang Tinglan very well. This kid was very good at studying and was very honest. He rarely messed around with second-generation young masters like Zhang Xueliang.

But if Zhang Tinglan has a way to solve the difficulties that he can't solve, Lao Zhang will not believe it anyway.

"Old Ba, we can't joke around like this. It's not that I look down on my eldest nephew, it's just that he's still a child. What can I do?"

"Brother Seven, whether it can be achieved is still in doubt, but listen first, maybe there is a way!" Zhang Zuoxiang dragged Zhang Zuolin into the room while he was speaking, and Zhang Tinglan followed closely behind. The house smelled a pungent smoke.What Lao Zhang smoked was not cigarettes, but authentic Kanto cigarettes, which were pungent and pungent, and Zhang Tinglan almost fainted from the smoke.

But he didn't care about anything, both father and Zhang Zuolin sat at the table, Zhang Tinglan hurried over, told Zhang Zuolin exactly what he had discussed with Fred, and at the same time took out the blueprint of the North Market, pointing Looking at the drawings, he introduced his ideas to him.

Zhang Zuolin's comprehension ability is obviously higher than that of Zhang Zuoxiang. The more Zhang Tinglan talked, the happier he was, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He was keenly aware of the business opportunities involved. It took Zhang Tinglan more than half an hour to introduce his ideas.Then Zhang Zuolin asked him for nearly two hours.

The questions involve various aspects, including the specific size of the North Market, infrastructure construction, business direction, how to collect taxes, how to manage and so on.Zhang Tinglan tried his best to answer one by one. Old Zhang asked far more deeply than he imagined. He even saw the value of this market for the revitalization of national industry. Finally, Zhang Zuolin stopped asking questions, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he couldn't stop patting Zhang Tinglan shoulders.

"Okay, great! That's a great idea!"

"Old Ba, it's called not singing, it's a blockbuster, Ting Lan is extraordinary!"

Zhang Zuoxiang is also full of joy, seeing his son's future, which father can be unhappy.However, Zhang Zuoxiang said modestly: "Yuting, Tinglan is just an idea. It is still very difficult to realize it. To establish this large market, we must first obtain the support of the government, and we must also guard against the big powers." Take the opportunity to intervene, especially Ri himself, once something good happens, they will not be left behind!"

Zhang Zuolin narrowed his eyes, he had already come out of the joy of seeing this plan, and he was thinking more about the resistance and troubles that would be encountered in implementing this plan.

"Old Ba, you're right. I don't think it's easy to pass the first level. Zhang Xiluan, the fast horse, is getting more and more defensive towards us. Besides, he's just messing around now, and doesn't think about any big things. Never mind, let him nod and agree to such a big thing, I think it's hard!"

"Besides, it's not easy to prevent Ri himself from participating. Their eyes and ears are too flexible. For such a large project, how many bricks, tiles, wood, and labor are required. Once the construction is started, everyone can clearly see it!"

Zhang Zuolin frowned as he spoke, although Zhang Tinglan proposed a good way to make money, but there were still many difficulties in getting money if he wanted to see immediate results!Lao Zhang became distressed again.

"Ting Lan, your method is good, but I calculated that it will take at least half a year to see the reward. Now I have been in arrears for three months. If it is delayed for another half year, I will never even think about being a teacher. !"

"Seventh Master, the 27th Division has such a big family business, can't it last for a few months?"

Zhang Zuolin smiled wryly and shook his head: "The president has been very aggressive with local power in the past two years, and the military pay is getting less and less. Except for the old Beiyang, they are all raised by stepmother. If I don't push myself into a corner, I won't either. I will borrow money from Ri himself, and according to the current situation, it will only last for half a month, a month at most, not to mention the military salary, even the military rations are gone!"

Zhang Tinglan did not expect that the mighty 27th Division, Fengtian's most powerful armed force, would be forced to such a point by the issue of military pay. It seems that it is not easy to be a warlord. up!

"Seventh Lord, I think we can rent a business space in advance and collect an entry fee. Anyone who wants to enter the North Market must pay a sum of money in advance, so that we may be able to get a sum of money quickly!"

After saying it, Zhang Tinglan immediately felt that something was wrong. This would definitely cause a big commotion and attract the attention of all parties. The Chinese running the market by themselves is undoubtedly poaching the corners of the big powers. They must not will agree.As long as these great powers start a fight, the Chinese government will probably succumb.

In the end, Zhang Tinglan thought it simply. He thought that the 27th Division was Fengtian's most powerful force, so he naturally said the same thing.But Zhang Tinglan didn't notice that Zhang Zuolin was not a genuine warlord after all, and he couldn't represent the Fengtian government. On the one hand, Governor Zhang Xiluan and Ri himself could hold back, and on the other hand, they didn't have enough appeal to Fengtian businessmen.

Zhang Zuolin walked around the ground a few times, frowning tightly: "The little devil has decided to eat me. During this period, many private businesses of the 27th Division have been suppressed. I guess it was the Japanese who did it. They are forcing me Do something for them!"

Zhang Tinglan is also a little annoyed now. He thought that he could easily solve the trouble by virtue of his aura as a traveler, and then won a lot of applause. Now it seems that he is thinking about things simply.

"Master Seven, do you have the guts?"

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and suddenly asked such a question, Zhang Zuolin was also stunned. From the conversation of these few hours, he had already seen the extraordinaryness of Zhang Tinglan, and he definitely had a purpose for asking himself this question.

"Boy, your seventh uncle started from nothing. From being a bandit to today, what you need most is courage. If you have any ideas, just speak up!"

Zhang Tinglan gritted her teeth, "Master Seventh, let's resell arms!"

"Tinglan, what nonsense are you talking about? Guns are our pillars, how can we sell them!" Zhang Zuoxiang thought that Zhang Tinglan wanted to sell some of the arms and guns in exchange for some funds.This is not without exception, some local troops have stolen and sold their weapons to local tyrants.It's just that everyone in the 27th Division knows the importance of force. These gun barrels are accumulated little by little. Even if it kills them, they will not sell weapons.

"Father, I'm not talking about selling our own weapons, but the Russians!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin were a little puzzled, how could it involve the Russians.

"Ting Lan, please speak clearly, as long as it is feasible and can make money quickly, I will fight for it!"

"Seventh Lord, Europe is at war right now. The Allied Powers and the Allied Powers are fighting each other. Russia is the weakest of the Allied Powers. They cannot supply their own weapons and need to import them from foreign countries. Many of the military supplies are from the east. The three provinces are then transported to Russia through the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the two foreign firms under the name of Daosheng Bank are responsible for purchasing in the three eastern provinces!"

"Tinglan, what do you mean by that? Could it be that we are not allowed to rob military supplies?" Zhang Zuolin asked in surprise. Of course he knew what Zhang Tinglan said. Trains full of munitions and supplies often passed by on the South Manchuria Railway. Zhang Zuolin was very jealous.

But those were all sent to Russia by the big powers, Zhang Zuolin didn't dare to take the idea of ​​these trains, he borrowed money from Japan, maybe he was taking chronic poison, but if he dared to snatch this, he would drink poison to quench his thirst, and immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"Master Seven, I'm not going to rob, but to steal!"
