"Ouch! Third Master, are you cheating on me?" Luo Huo shouted, "Are you trying to use moral kidnapping?"
Fu Qing's face turned purple, "Fu Yin'er... you... you... you... I am your uncle, why are you not facing me at all?"
"Lao Luo... listen to me, this is a curved way to save the country. In the end, you Chinese people will not suffer any loss? My court did not say not to give money. In the end, whether it is gold or silver, even IOUs will have interest!"
"Your profits will not suffer at all. What are you afraid of? This is just an expedient measure to allow the treaty to be passed smoothly by the Chinese Congress!"
"The treaty was passed, the court got through the difficulties, and the Chinese capitalists made money. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Fu Yin'er shook his head, "But in this way, uncle, you have tricked Uncle Luo. How will the wealthy Chinese people treat Uncle Luo in the future? Will there be any complaints?"
"And... and also my reputation! If people know in the future that I was present when the memorandum was signed... what will people think?"
"Ah!" Fu Qing exclaimed and his face suddenly turned pale again. "I... uncle didn't expect... uncle didn't expect... uncle didn't expect you to be here today..."
What he said is correct. Fu Yin'er signed such a treaty while attending the event. If someone with a heart is allowed to gossip and say that Fu Yin'er sympathizes with the Manchus in his heart, it would be terrible if word spread!
Fu Qing seemed to have been drained of energy all of a sudden, "No... I won't sign it anymore... I can't cheat my nephew... I can't cheat the Chinese young master..."
"No more signing, no more signing..."
Fu Yin'er and Luo Huo looked at Fu Qing, who suddenly became old and weak, and felt really unbearable, sour and uncomfortable!
"Uncle... But if you don't sign, you won't be able to buy supplies. How can you deliver the goods? What will you do to defend the capital?" Fu Yin'er said.
Fu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? Take it one step at a time, and defend as far as you can! At worst, the Yongding River defense line will be abandoned, and we will fight a defensive battle under the capital city wall..."
Luo Huo shook his head and said, "No! If you want to completely defend a city of the size of the capital, you must defend the outer defense line. Counting on the defense of the forty-nine city walls will not be able to withstand it. Sooner or later the city will be broken!"
"You have never thought about moving the capital...forget it, just pretend I didn't say it, pretend I didn't say it!"
The room fell into silence. Fu Qingxin was desperate. He knew that today was in vain. If the excessive use of gold was discovered, it would be almost impossible for the Chinese Congress to successfully pass the arms sales treaty. impossible.
Maybe we can only move the capital!
Time passed minute by minute, and after eight or nine minutes, Fu Yin'er suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle! Can't you look at me, my nephew?"
"I've been waiting for you for ten minutes, why don't you ask my nephew if there is anything he can do?"
ah? Fu Qing and Luo Huo were stunned as soon as these words came out!
"Haha... Hey... I still wanted to wait for my uncle to ask my nephew for advice. Then I would also get a fan to install, but no one paid attention to me..."
"No kidding, uncle, my nephew, I have a way to solve your predicament!"
Fu Qing jumped up from the chair with a groan, hugged Fu Yin'er's shoulders and said eagerly, "Good nephew... tell me, tell me, I'm listening!"
"Uncle, don't worry... After all, I can divide your shopping list into two parts. I was just sorting it without saying anything!"
"The first category is non-controlled materials, such as grain, military boots, military uniform fabrics, canned food, gauze, etc... These are not controlled materials stipulated by the Chinese. As long as the buyer and seller are willing to trade, they can be traded! "
"In fact, the most difficult thing about this type of supplies is food. It's not that the Chinese are banned from selling it... but that some big businessmen don't sell it in their own name for various reasons. Am I right?"
"Yes, yes..." Fu Qing nodded desperately.
Fu Yin'er smiled faintly, "Those people are unwilling to sell food to my senior brother due to various considerations...but I...can!"
Xiao Letian's prince pointed at his nose, "I have food! Although Fusang is poor, the rice is delicious!"
"I can sell as much money as I want with a note! Give me your senior brother's gold and I'll sell it to him... I don't believe it. The entire rice production of Fuso cannot feed a single person in the capital?"
"Not just Fusang, even Nanyang and Jiangnan... I, Fu Yin'er, want to buy food, who will stop me?"
"I will sell you the food you are short of!"
"Ah!" Fu Qing cried out in excitement, "Nephew... Fu Yin'er... wu wu wu... don't do this, don't let yourself get some bad influence!"
Fu Yin'er shook his head, "Uncle, listen to what I'm going on to say... The other half of your purchase list is Chinese controlled materials, many of which are banned, mainly arms and ammunition!"
"I can't make the decision... There is only one way to solve this problem, and it's fair and square!"
"Uncle... when you go back and see my senior brother, please tell me something... conspiracy is always better than conspiracy. If you want to solve any problem, the best way is to face him directly!"
"I will go back to the Chinese community immediately tomorrow. I will publicly state my position in the newspaper, and I will make a speech in support of my brother in parliament!"
"Let's do things openly and openly! When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down... What are you afraid of? I'm just afraid that you might think of a conspiracy before doing anything, and then you'll end up in trouble!"
"Uncle... tell me that senior brother, in this purchase list, grain and other non-forbidden supplies can be purchased with silver, or even IOUs can be purchased with interest!"
"But for these materials that are prohibited from being sold by the military, please prepare gold, senior brother! It's not that I'm greedy, but I want to use gold to convince the capitalists in the Great Council!"
"I won't make any promises to my senior brother, but I promise that I will do my best to handle this matter!"
At this point, Fu Yin'er turned around and coughed out the window, and heard someone outside the window respond in a low voice, "Hai..."
"Pass my order...well...purchase grain from Fusang and transport it to Tanggu Port as quickly as possible... before Fusang has time, it will redeem it from local and Nanyang grain merchants!"
"I don't care about the process, as long as the result...just do it!"
"Hai..." There was another response outside the window, and then a gust of wind blew!
Fu Qing looked at Fu Yin'er. At this moment, he shuddered from his heart. It was excitement and fear. His nephew was really helping his uncle, but Fu Yin'er exuded this temperament.
This is really Xiao Letian's biological son! If the aura of a superior person is not that of a dragon, then who is considered an emperor or general?
Fu Yin'er was still so respectful and polite to his uncle. He turned around, took out a small leather bag from the back room, and opened it in front of his uncle.
"Uncle...my nephew has ten million here...please accept it!"
"Don't look at me like that... This money was collected from many families, and I don't have that much money!"
