Liu Yuanqing said the solution, and Huangfu Gao said it was wonderful.

Unlike Huangfu Gao's route of imperial examination, Liu Yuanqing was originally a student of the Tongwenguan in the capital. He was proficient in foreign languages ​​and later joined Cen Chunxuan as an aide. His method was to trace the roots and find out what was going on - isn't your Langezhi company known as a wide range of business and rich money? I will follow this idea to check you. If you really manage it well, it proves that there are real materials, otherwise you will inevitably be deceived.

It was also thanks to Liu Yuanqing's origin, and there were many classmates who were proficient in Western Affairs. After the position of Minister of Nanyang was revoked, the embassies and consulates in Nanyang were uniformly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A classmate of Liu Yuanqing happened to be a counselor in the local consulate. He immediately sent a letter to ask him to investigate the Langezhi Company. In addition, Liu had another friend, although he graduated from the Tongwenguan, but had not entered the official career and had always been doing business in Nanyang. Langezhi Company asked him to inquire about the so-called purchase of a new rubber plantation in Australia.

Having made up his mind, he sent telegrams to the two of them separately, and then turned around to report to Cen Chunxuan.

Just as the two were investigating around, Mai Bianpian, the boss of Langezhi Company, went to HSBC. In an extremely secretive situation, he met with Richard, the bank's director.

"Mr. Richard, all the documents and preparations are ready, and we can start the next step." Maiba said slowly with a cigar in his mouth. "This time the denomination is 300 yuan, which is about 30 yuan. I am determined to sell it at least 10% premium."

"How much time will it take?"

"The price in London is still rising. I am optimistic that it will be sold out in less than three days at most in five days. I have done my preliminary work. Those Chinese people are almost crazy to get rich..." Mai Bian smiled contemptuously. "They begged to give me the money."

"Ha...Dear Mai Bian, in the kindest humanitarianism, we should satisfy their desire to make money no matter what. Say it. What do you want to do?"

"It's still the same as before. First, it is announced that stock holders can mortgage their loans at face value; second, prepare enough cash and lend them to these already crazy money houses."

"You seem to have forgotten to say one." Richard reminded quietly and cunningly.

"How could I forget?" Mai Bian laughed wildly, "Third. Your bank will obtain 35% of the issuance fee. As for you, Mr. Richard, you will receive an additional issuance consultant fee of 3 of our company."

“Cheers to the success of our cooperation.”

"At the same time, we also cheer for the next successful cooperation!" The two laughed wildly, as if countless silver coins were waving to them. The issuance fee was as high as 38%. This was by no means something that any normal stock issuance could bear. The only explanation was that this was a complete scam.

"What's the situation?" Cen Chunxuan was waiting for the report of Liu Yuanqing and Huangfu Gao.

"It's confusing. According to the news on the market, the companies that issue rubber stocks have different situations. Some have planted saplings and waited for rubber to be produced. Some have purchased land. If the climate and soil are suitable, they plan to open rubber gardens. If they don't work, they will do real estate transactions. When there is such a mud and sand, there must be many wallet companies with false names and even specialized in cheating money. Zhiqiang and I think that a company named Langezhituoqing is the most suspicious. The company claims to have a dividend of 45% per year, the highest dividend, the longest time, and the most stocks, and there are many doubts."

"Ah... many Shanghai people can't even understand what rubber is. They can't wait to buy it based on the rumors in the market and follow the crowd. Zhengyuan Money House alone invested 10,000 taels of silver. Yesterday, the company announced that the Australian rubber estate had successfully produced rubber. In order to expand the scale, they decided to issue another 300 yuan of stocks. As a result, in less than a day, "the world was almost crazy, and everyone thought about getting rich overnight."

"45% of the profits?" Cen Chunxuan was stunned, "There is such a good business. Are you willing to take out a large-scale offering to make others prosperous? It's better to borrow money and put your big head in your arms."

"I also think so. I always feel it's too bizarre, so I asked a friend to investigate secretly. But the time may have been too long. We want to ask the adults to slow down the investigation and prosecution of the Sheng case for a month or two."

"You two are becoming more and more stable in doing things and are making great progress. Prepare for the civil service exam next year. Then, you can find a background in each department and experience it for another 10 or 20 years. I dare not guarantee the Secretary. It should be fine." While Cen Chun was praising me, someone suddenly sent a telegram, and his face changed drastically after reading it.

,What's wrong?" Seeing his expression wrong, the two of them looked suspicious.

"The country is troubled and cannot calm down for a moment." Cen Chunxuan handed over the telegram: The war between the two miners affected the miners, and Kaiping's management rashly shot and killed the troubled miners, causing unrest. Local officials were improperly dealt with, favoring foreigners, and causing civil unrest...

"Ah, why is it so similar to the lesson plan?"

Huangfu Gao was full of doubts: "There are no reports in the newspaper these two days. Is it groundless?"

Cen Chunxuan smiled bitterly: "At this time of storm, the local civil war will naturally block the news. Otherwise, the whole country will change, and there will be wars everywhere. But foreigners always like to instigate trouble, but this time they will not make trouble?"

—

"Sir, they are not making trouble. They are obviously taking advantage and not willing to act like a good person."

"But I'm a little confused. Why did the emperor call me and ask me to deal with the case?" Cen Chun asked in his heart, "If I really want me to go, why should I add another tail to the ground after the case is processed?"

"I think this is the emperor who relies heavily on the adults." Huangfu Gao smiled and said, "Now, except for Master Kang Liang, the emperor obeys the central hall, even Master Weng was just like this. Yongping's civil war is of great importance, and the adults must take action..."

"I think the adults are very worried. This was originally a matter of urgent matter. Why did you have to wait until the Sheng case is investigated before leaving? It feels very strange."

Facts proved that Liu Yuanqing's guess was right. In the Yangxin Palace, Xu Shichang also raised this question in the face of Lin Guangyu's arrangement.

"Your Majesty, the change of change is like putting out a fire, and it will not be delayed for a moment. It is already an urgent solution to let Cen Yunjie go north to investigate and investigate. If he had to wait for him to investigate the Sheng case before returning to Beijing, the fire would probably have become a prairie fire."

"What are your opinions?"

"Or it would be better to check the Dragon Boat Festival Bridge first." Xu Shichang suggested, "This matter started in Zhili. Wuqiao, as a direct supervisor, has an unshirkable responsibility, and should bear the brunt. I secretly plan for Your Majesty and leave the existing direct supervisor without using it, and insist on using an imperial envoy with another important task, only to give people the feeling of distrust of the Xinjiang minister."

"Do I have it?" Lin Guangyu laughed in silence, "You are anxious for Duan Fang, but he has no attitude of volunteering at all."

This sentence is the truth, but Xu Shichang seemed to be indecent, because this is definitely not an ordinary change, Duan Fang knew it very clearly - no matter what the opinions outside were, the matter was caused by Kaiping Company shooting and killing miners. Even if there were other hidden information, it was always a disadvantage. If the local officials completely ignored the handling and turned black and white, not to mention that the local people did not follow, even the censors would likely rebound. The prefect Wan of Yongping Prefecture followed Master Gao's advice, did enough superficial work, put in enough strength, and it took more than 10 days to announce the handling results. He originally wanted to calm down the situation, but was reported to the world. In a few days, news of accepting bribes, corruption and abuse of power and being dismissed, which shows the people's will.

On the other hand, if you follow the people's will and just appease them, it will anger the British. After the fall of the prefect, the new prefect Zhang broke out and pushed all the responsibilities down. Not only did he bear the losses of the miners' smashing and looting during the commotion, but he also asked him to compensate tens of thousands of miners for wages and funeral expenses and medical expenses of the casualties. The people's hearts were ashamed and the people were relieved, but the British did not do it. Nasen, Decuillin and others blew their beards and stared at Juerdian, and the British minister submitted a letter of protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If they could not handle it properly, the British gunboats would come in. So within two days, the prefect Zhang was also removed from his post.

Everyone was stunned now. The people cannot fool them, otherwise the public opinion will be endless. The British cannot afford to offend them, otherwise the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be endless. In a dilemma, the prefect of Yongping Prefecture has become a rat in the bellows and is angry. Whoever takes over will be in trouble. Duan Fang wants to be farther away, the better. How dare you cause trouble?

"Your Majesty, if this matter lasts for a long time, it will inevitably be repeated. It is not a solution to drag it down..." Xu Shichang looked bitter, "The British are so observing so hard that we can avoid the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month."
