Chapter 291
Wu Qishan was one of the first civilians to come to Lingnan Province with Lin Hongfei. After years of experience, he has become a very important internal affairs talent in Lin Hongfei.
Lin Hongfei had already planned the idea of letting Wu Qishan be the general manager of Hanyang Arsenal.
No one is a fool. Everyone knows that the status of Hanyang Arsenal is extremely important. Naturally, the position of the Arsenal General Office is not something that ordinary people can become.
Then it must be a widow lying on the bachelor kang, with someone on it!
Therefore, Wu Qishan, a child of the Wu family, naturally has advantages.
In order to get this matter done, Lin Hongfei began to make an effort to be the identity of Wu Ziyu’s two lakes inspection envoy:
"Yushushuai, you are now serving as the inspector of the Two Lakes. In the future, you will definitely be in charge of Hunan and Hubei provinces."
"Training troops to fight is based on food, grass, military pay, and weapons and ammunition."
"My words are not to instigate the relationship between you and Marshal Cao, but recently, Marshal Cao has indeed been a little wary of you."
"Also, that old boy Li Yanqing is also stuck with your military pay, just not paying it."
"There is no military pay in your pocket, so what should we buy guns, cannons and bullets?"
"So, let's just take Hanyang Arsenal in hand. As long as we have this Arsenal, it will be like an old hen that can lay eggs."
"Qishan is also a child of the Wu family. If he can become the chief arsenal of this arsenal, how many guns, ammunition we will need in the future will not be a matter of one word."
"At that time, even if Li Yanqing doesn't give us military salary, we don't have to support his stinky feet!"
Lin Hongfei's words made Wu Ziyu fall into silence. In fact, Wu Ziyu also knew that Lin Hongfei chose Wu Qishan as the general manager of the arsenal because it was for him to purchase ammunition himself.
Moreover, when there is chaos today, the weapons and ammunition produced by the Hanyang Arsenal does not have to worry about sales. It basically makes money while lying down, and can also raise a large amount of military pay.
However, Lin Hongfei's idea touched Wu Ziyu's thoughts, letting Wu Qishan, a child of the Wu family, take charge of the Hanyang Arsenal, have advantages and disadvantages for him to manage the Lianghu area.
So, Wu Ziyu nodded quickly and said, "Your idea is worth considering. Let's think about it again. When I think about it safely, I will naturally recommend it to the top!"
In fact, when it comes to this, Lin Hongfei already knew that Wu Ziyu agreed to his idea.
Lin Hongfei smiled and said, "That's thank you for your hard work!"
"Hmph, thank you, I will not have any trouble in Hubei Province in the future!" Wu Ziyu cursed with a smile.
Lin Hongfei patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will be honest in Hubei Province in the future and I will not mess with anything!"
The two looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere in the room became much easier.
At this moment, an adjutant came in to report that it was Xiao Yaonan who came!
Hearing this, Wu Ziyu looked at Lin Hongfei: "You go to the next room and wait, don't come out!"
"Yes, Yushuai!"
Lin Hongfei immediately stood up and went to the next room to wait.
Soon, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps. As the door opened and closed, Xiao Yaonan strode into Wu Ziyu's study.
Lin Hongfei's ears were pressed against the wall, wanting to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.
However, the sound insulation effect of the wall is really good. Lin Hongfei even held a water cup and pressed it against the wall. He could only vaguely hear Xiao Yaonan clamoring with his voice raised.
Although I didn't hear what Xiao Yaonan said, Lin Hongfei was certainly not a good thing.
Seeing that he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, Lin Hongfei simply sat on the chair, raised his legs to the table, and then leaned against the back of the chair and took a nap.
I don’t know how long it took, but the door was pushed open. Lin Hongfei was awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw an adjutant smiling and said, “Sir, Yushuai, please come here!”
"Oh, OK!"
Lin Hongfei rubbed his eyes and returned to Yushuai's study. At this time, Xiao Yaonan had left, leaving only Wu Ziyu.
"How is it, Yushuai?" Lin Hongfei asked.
Wu Ziyu smiled slightly: "There has been agreed upon, Xiao Yaonan has agreed to the matter of the Salt Police Brigade."
"but....."
Wu Ziyu paused: "He still made some requests!"
"Oh, what are the requirements?" Lin Hongfei asked.
"At the same time, you can't support Liu Haochun in the future. Xiao Yaonan is preparing to expel Liu Haochun and get the position of governor of Hubei Province."
"In addition, Wang Zichun left a lot of remaining troops in Hubei Province. You can't move these people. Xiao Yaonan wants to reorganize them all."
"At the same time, the Jiangbei Army in western Hubei must publicly obey Xiao Yaonan's orders and recognize his position as the governor of Hubei Province." Wu Ziyu said one by one.
Lin Hongfei nodded and sneered: "Two hundred thousand oceans are greedy enough!"
"Satisfied!"
"He originally wanted 300,000 oceans!"
"Besides, if it were you, if there were outsiders stationing an army in Jiangbei City, would you give up?" Wu Ziyu asked back.
Lin Hongfei smiled and said, "Of course I won't give up, unless I don't have the confidence to destroy this army that does not belong to me."
"I think Xiao Yaonan finally agreed to the matter of the Salt Police Brigade, which should be related to his lack of confidence in repelling my Jiangbei army!"
Wu Ziyu smiled and said, "You boy, you are right. In fact, Xiao Yaonan's life is not easy."
"Although he took office as the governor of Hubei Province, in Hubei Province, Xiao Yaonan could only mobilize a 25th Division, and most of the officials at all levels were Wang Zichun's old subordinates."
"Also, Wang Zichun's remaining troops still have many forces. Once they gather to counterattack, he was not sure to eliminate these people."
Lin Hongfei took over the conversation: "So, he asked western Hubei to publicly recognize his position as the governor, to shock the remaining troops of Wang Zichun?"
Wu Ziyu nodded: "Yes, in this way, Wang Zichun's old subordinates would think that your Jiangbei army supports Xiao Yaonan, so they naturally would not dare to act rashly."
Speaking of this, Wu Ziyu's tone calmed down: "Okay, I'll clear the clouds and mists away, and finally I'll handle your affairs."
"I will be the host another day and call you two together. We are all direct and look across the river. Don't make the relationship too stiff, so as not to be laughed at by outsiders."
Lin Hongfei shrugged: "Okay, I don't care. It depends on whether our Governor Xiao is willing!"
A dispute was settled, and the Salt Police Brigade completely gained a foothold in Hubei Province. Relying on the power of private salt anti-smuggling in its hands, it has a generous monthly investment.
Wu Ziyu also started to work hard and was preparing to handle the matter of Wu Qishan as the general manager of Hanyang Arsenal.
All this has nothing to do with Lin Hongfei for the time being, so he left Hankou by boat and returned to Jiangbei City.
