Mr. Qing is corrupt? Are you kidding me? Does Fuqing still use corruption to make money? The business privileges Xiao Letian gave him in the Chinese clan were enough to make him as rich as the country.
In fact, there is no need for Xiao Letian to say anything. Among the Chinese businessmen headed by Mr. Fan Lian, there is no one who would not give face to Mr. Qing. The hot goods in the Northern Industrial Zone will be picked up by Mr. San. If others want it, just queue up. Mr. Qing Want to have it anytime.
From needles and threads to iron nails and pots, to guns, fire and ships... As long as the Chinese sell things, is there something that Mr. Qing can't get?
Moreover, the industrial product distribution rights that the Manchu nobles wanted had to be found through the Third Master!
In addition, Fuqing itself has more than a dozen factories, large and small, as well as various financial products and real estate investments in Jiangnan. Now Fuqing's claim that he is worth tens of millions is not bragging!
Why do you still need to make false accounts in the telegraph office in such a wealthy life? In the final analysis, it was because Fu Qing was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Tongzhi from the bottom of his heart.
He knows that it is not easy for the little emperor, so he is trying every means to save some private money for Long Live Lord!
"Brother Ermao, I also know what happened to you in Fujian. It's not easy for you, Long Live Lord. It's so difficult for you to have millions of dollars..."
"Go back and get rid of the Ermao brothers and tell Long Live Lord that while His Majesty is away from the country, it's not that the brothers won't take care of the army in Fujian, it's that they can't!"
"Wealth cannot be revealed..."
A lot of words are worth ten thousand words. Er Mao understood that he held Fu Qing's hand and said, "I understand the third master's difficulties, I understand them all... If we can help Long Live Master, we can help him as much as possible..."
There were tears in the third master's eyes: "Er Mao, people say you are rebellious, but I know you are not... In fact, you still care about Long Live Lord in your heart. From the bottom of your heart, you don't want His Majesty and the Head of State to meet each other in war. You don't want to... "
"Please, I'm so sorry for you..."
Er Mao waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, it's not easy, even Third Master is difficult..."
In fact, Emperor Tongzhi had always had a knot in his heart. He was very angry when he saw his new Yulin army being treated in such a poor way. He was so angry all the way!
Didn’t Emperor Tongzhi have the money to train his new army? No, in fact, Xiao Letian and many loyal emperors of the Qing Dynasty sent Zai Chun to create a very good situation.
Don’t forget that Emperor Tongzhi each still owns 25% of the shares of Fuso Bank! Although Fuso Bank has only been established for a short period of time and has not yet reached a large scale, it is also Fuso's note-issuing bank after all. The annual 25% share dividends are worth millions of taels.
This is a big gift package given by the head of state to his apprentice. This is the biggest financial support behind his pro-government!
Don’t the forces of the Hunan Army have the same intentions? What does Hu Xueyan do? That was the God of Wealth in Jiangnan. He had already contributed two million taels since the very beginning of Fujian's military training, but why did he have no money to continue giving in the end?
Only Zuo Jigao's forces have been raising money for Emperor Tongzhi, but Zuo Zongtang himself has to fight a war and it must be difficult for Shen Baozhen to raise 30,000 new imperial troops by himself.
After all, all the forces gave money, but the Manchus themselves did not give the little emperor a penny. This is really a big joke.
In fact, there are still loyalists within the Manchu people, and Fu Qing is one of them. Fu Qing didn't pay a penny before, so today he can be said to have spoken out his true feelings.
In the final analysis, it is still a security issue and a principle of keeping wealth secret!
Little emperor, don't be impatient and angry. Think about it carefully first. You are not in charge, your new army has not experienced the test of war, and you are not even in the Qing Dynasty.
How can others give money in this situation? There is no airtight wall in the world. As long as these domestic forces dare to spend money abroad, the hostile forces of Emperor Tongzhi will definitely take action.
Under this background, the court would cause trouble for anyone who showed up. How dare Hu Xueyan give money? Fu Qing dares to pay? As long as you reveal your money, there are ten thousand ways to squeeze you out!
If Mr. Qing had secretly given money to the Fujian Yulin New Army before, then he would not be able to perform the trick of concealing the truth today!
"General Manager Er Mao... the painstaking efforts of Wei Chen can be seen every day!" After saying this, Fu Qing bowed to Er Mao.
How dare Ermao accept such a gift? "No, no... you are the uncle of the head of state. According to seniority, I am the younger generation. It is my turn to salute..."
"I understand what you are thinking. You are hiding your clumsiness and leaving private money for Long Live Lord. This is a good thing!"
"We are just taking advantage of these times when we are blind and ignorant of the market, and seize power! To be honest, Mr. Third... the secret of the huge profits of the Qing Telegraph Bureau will probably not be kept for a year or two..."
"Two years from now, many forces in North Korea and China will definitely counterattack! When they turn around and realize that what they have lost is a huge piece of fat, they will kill like crazy!"
The Third Master gritted his molars and said, "That's right, so within two years, Long Live Master must be allowed to truly take charge, and he must have military power! Otherwise, for the sake of money, those bastards will have to kill us all..."
Er Mao nodded and sneered, "Actually, making money is only one aspect of this telegraph office. I think your intention, Third Master, is to restructure it, right?"
Fu Qing's eyes flashed, "Haha... smart, brother Ermao is so smart, yes, what I want is those military quotas at the station!"
This is the deepest secret, Master Qing’s true intention!
The Qing Dynasty's postal system continued from the Ming Dynasty's system, and did not make many changes, but the scale was much larger, because the territory actually controlled by the Qing Dynasty was larger than that of the Ming Dynasty.
When the Qing Dynasty postal system was at its peak, there were more than 70,000 postmen, more than 40,000 auxiliary troops, more than 2,000 post stations and more than 14,000 post shops across the country!
Numerous stations and personnel formed a huge communication network, responsible for the transmission of information throughout the country, especially the transmission of military intelligence.
Precisely because of its importance, the management of the station has always been placed in the Ministry of War!
Today, this system has finally been leveraged. Since no one in the Manchu court understands how to build or manage the telegraph network, and the country still needs an advanced telegraph network, this gives Fuqing an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
What he wants is for your court to cry for poverty. As long as you cry for poverty and don't allocate funds to me, I have the right to raise funds by myself. I have raised funds by myself and you still don't give me management rights?
I am so poor that I borrowed money to build a telegraph network. Are you still going to hand over management rights to the Ministry of War and continue to argue with me?
You can't bully others like this. You have to be reasonable, okay?
Look, this is Mr. Qing's plan, to force you to jump into the pit and make you embarrassed to control the postal system any more!
In fact, Third Master Qing was not fooling around. The grandsons who reported the accounts from the Ministry of War were really ugly. The strong wind blew the wooden poles crooked, and they dared to ask the telegraph office to reimburse them fifty taels of silver for just such a small job.
Where can I go to reason? Find help from local idlers or even old farmers on the roadside, and even if you are given ten copper coins, people are rushing to do a simple job. How dare you lick your face and ask for fifty taels of silver?
With such internal friction, how can Mr. Qing carry out his work?
"If you want the Qing Dynasty's telegraph to be good, you have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure! Restructuring is about reducing expenditure and saving money... Of course, as long as the management rights of these soldiers are in my hands..."
"Haha... I don't believe it anymore. I can't secretly train a surprise army for Lord Long Live!"
