Chapter 37 The Revolutionary Party Comes to the Door (Part 1)

"Sir, Fuguo also asked me to bring back fifty twenty-shot Mather pistols with one thousand rounds of ammunition for each gun. He said that your guards need to strengthen their firepower. Enming has learned from the past and must be on guard."

As soon as Li Muyan said this, Feng Xu leaned forward and said solemnly in a low voice: "This is not a small amount. Fang Fuguo cannot be so generous."

Li Muyan smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are wise! After twenty days of this trip, I have gained some understanding of Fang Fuguo. Please listen to me slowly..." Li Muyan gave a rough summary of what Fang Jianxiong did in Wuhu.

After talking for a while, Feng Xu frowned in confusion and said, "In your opinion, what does Fang Fuguo want?"

"Fang Fuguo was in Wuhu, developing industry and emphasizing education. In just ten days, I saw him busy all the time. I am afraid that such a person has big ambitions and big plans. I secretly thought that Fang Fuguo was unwilling to come to Anqing.

Army, what he fears is that he will be troubled by the interest disputes of the New Army and have his hands tied. It is better to be in Wuhu, where the place is small and there are few mothers. Unfortunately, with his qualifications, even if he comes to Anqing, he will only be a camp management position at most. This

No matter where he goes, it will not be difficult to get a position. Taken together, if he runs an industry and wants to do things, his loyalty to the court can be affirmed." Li Muyan's evaluation, except for the last point, was all right. If Fang Jianxiong had been on the spot,

You will definitely be shocked when you hear it.

The last point of Li Muyan's judgment was what Feng Xu valued most. The ground in Anqing was unstable and the activities of the Yue Wanghui were rampant, and Feng Xu was tired of dealing with it.

"Mu Yan, what's wrong with this person?" Feng Xu slowly sat back and regained his calm posture.

"Money-greedy, I heard him say that with the same goods and the same price as this batch, he can still get 20,000 to 30,000 rods and leave them to find a buyer." Li Muyan couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart as he said that.

There is no psychological pressure at all when earning this kind of money.

Feng Xu laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "That's right. Is it okay for someone who is young and doesn't have the disadvantages of others? You can do this business. In addition, it is not appropriate for the New Army to be the only one. The imperial court has many interests in each province.

Establish a patrol battalion to check and balance the new army. The patrol battalion also needs guns and ammunition, and Anqing also needs to prepare some stocks of guns and bullets. You can just go ahead and do these, well, it is better to purchase another 5,000 79 rifles." Feng Xu

As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup.

Li Muyan stood up with a smile and held up his hands, then suddenly stopped and said: "By the way, sir, Fang Fuguo also said that the manufacturing bureau in Anqing, with its machines left to rust, is better left to him to handle it, and he is guaranteed to turn it into a bastard within two years.

Golden Egg Hen.”

Anqing's manufacturing bureau is similar to today's state-owned enterprises. Most of the foundation laid by Zeng Guofan during the Xianfeng period was later moved to Shanghai and was called Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. During Enming's tenure, he spent some money to buy some machines.

He could repair firearms and make some bullets himself. Later, after Enming was assassinated and Feng Xu took office, basically no one took care of the manufacturing bureau and could not control it, because the general office was a bannerman, and the subordinate assistants were also bannermen.

When Enming was here, he was already very dissatisfied with manufacturing. Coupled with financial difficulties, the manufacturing bureau's investment dropped sharply. Before Enming's assassination, the manufacturing bureau was basically in a state of shutdown. When Feng Xu took office, the bannermen of the manufacturing bureau

Uncle, we are clamoring to increase investment. Feng Xu knows where all these investments will go in the end. Mr. Futai wanted to take over this manufacturing bureau, but the bannermen refused to do it. They simply used the excuse that there was no money in the finance and made the excuse that it is better to buy it.

Yes, the funding for the manufacturing bureau was directly stopped.

Now the two sides are still wrangling and fighting over this matter, and no one can do anything about the other. The bannermen's assistants relied on themselves as hard-core farmers, and Feng Xu sent people to take over, so they dared to fight. The bannermen's lawsuit against Feng Xu also happened in the capital.

A stone sinks into the sea.

So, just stay there.

Fang Jianxiong didn't know what was going on here. He just wanted to find a reason to cultivate his own technical team. Feng Xu now had a good attitude towards Fang Jianxiong and did not doubt that he was a revolutionary party. Naturally, he considered Fang Jianxiong:

"Mu Yan, you don't know about the manufacturing bureau, why didn't you tell Fang Fuguo?"

Of course, Li Muyan understood Feng Xu's thoughts. Firstly, this man felt sorry for the money, and secondly, he did not want to offend the banner man too much. "Sir, Fang Fuguo means that in the future, the new army's bullets and artillery shells will be purchased from him.

Jin, this calculation is very shrewd. I think it is better to let Fang Jianxiong start a new business in Wuhu, but he has to raise the money himself. Sir, I will give him the title of a weapon repair shop. If he can get things done, Sir, you will be indispensable here.

The advantage of this is that the imperial court should also be able to understand the difficulty of starting a new business. If it cannot be done, your Excellency will not suffer any losses." At this point, Li Muyan thought to himself: Fang Fuguo, I can be considered a worthy friend, and I can only say this for this reason.

.

Feng Xu hesitated, stood up and walked around for a while before saying: "That's fine, but it would be better if you go over and tell him face to face about this officer's difficulties. He is still expected to operate the firearms of the patrol camp. You have a day off.

, bring 40 students from the teaching team over the day after tomorrow. Tell Fang Fuguo that this is the first batch. Well, he can also recruit some more people."

……………………

Fang Jianxiong got up before dawn, chattering on the streets of Wuhu City to work off his energy. It's really depressing to say that he came back from a trip to Shanghai with a lot of stock. When he came back, he was ready to nourish the little maid Qiu Ju.

Unexpectedly, things were changing, and Qiu Ju's relatives who visited her every month came.

Qiu Ju was quite disappointed, not because the good thing didn't work out, but because she didn't get pregnant. At night, Fang Jianxiong comforted her. Qiu Ju wanted to ask another maid to warm the bed. Although Fang Jianxiong wanted to do it, she couldn't do it when she thought about it.

It was too evil, so I refused with dignity.

The result of pretending to be a saint was that I felt uncomfortable, so I had to get up early in the morning, tormenting myself and two foreign devils. After running around, I had a fist fight, and took a cold shower by the well in the backyard. The screams scared me so much that I quickly called someone.

Let's take a look. After learning that this child took a cold shower early in the morning and taught the servants a good lesson, he immediately took the young master back.

Fang Jianxiong ran back to the room wetly. Qiu Ju was busy waiting on her, complaining while serving her. "Young master, you should think about your own health. It's the coldest month of winter, and you can't even take a shower with cold water."

Fang Jianxiong couldn't listen to the woman's nagging, so he interrupted with a smile: "This is not something I'm holding back!"

Qiu Ju, who was taking off her clothes, immediately turned red. She quickly dried her with a towel, pushed her onto the bed and covered her with a quilt. She turned around and said, "I'll have someone cook a bowl of ginger soup." Fang Jianxiong stretched out his hand and grabbed her.

: "No! I'm really fine, I'm just holding it in."

"I'm going to die. The maid heard this and thought I couldn't serve the young master well." Qiu Ju complained and brought her underwear to change into. She thought about how to think of something. The young master was in full swing when he was full of energy.

The newly bought foxy girls have learned how to serve in a wealthy family. Qiu Ju can't compare with her in this regard. Even though they are still young, their bodies are spread out, and they don't even see the eyes of the young master.

I'm afraid I haven't been coveting this position for a long time.

After changing clothes and going out to have breakfast, I was greeted by my mother again. Fang Jianxiong kept talking with him with a smile and didn't make any excuses. After finishing his meal, he wiped his lips and turned around to leave.

As soon as he came into the stable yard, Wu Yunzhai was very spiritual, and he neighed happily when he heard the footsteps. Fang Jianxiong's horse was served by a dedicated groom, and every meal was filled with eggs, soybeans and other fine ingredients. When Fang Jianxiong came over, Wu Yunzhai

Zui then lowered his head to rub her, and the little mare also leaned over to please her.

Gu Heng was taking care of things outside the city, and the patrol camp did not want to move for the time being. Fang Jianxiong had time to consider recruiting students for the training team.

After staying in the stable for a while, Fang Jianxiong asked the groom to take good care of him and spend time in the morning and afternoon. This groom was the best in the neighborhood, and the salary was enough, so he naturally tried his best. Even so, every evening

At that meal, Fang Jianxiong came to feed him personally.

After leaving the stable, he was going to find Zhu Xiufeng and ask him to help recruit students for the teaching team at the school in the county. As soon as he put on a military uniform, packed up and prepared to go out, someone came from outside to report: "Two people came outside the door.

He was introduced by a friend who claimed to be the young master."

Fang Jianxiong secretly wondered, thinking that I don't have many friends. After thinking about it, he came out to take a look. The two young men who came to the door were both dressed as scholars in long robes.

Fang Jianxiong stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "I am Fang Jianxiong, courtesy name Fuguo. I have met these two dear brothers."

The two young men looked to be in their twenties. They each stepped forward and cupped their hands: "Wu Yanggu, courtesy name Chunyang." "Xiong Chengji, courtesy name Weigen." Fang Jianxiong's historical level was so bad, in fact, it was average even in his previous life.

Liberal arts students, unless they have personal preferences, would not know the names of these two people. Historical figures are generally meant to be forgotten.

Intuition told Fang Jianxiong that these two people were probably not in a good position and were most likely from the Revolutionary Party. In fact, the Revolutionary Party was divided into many factions. Before the establishment of the Tongmenghui, they basically fought on their own. Even if the Liberation Society joined the Tongmenghui, the relationship was not resolved later.

After Tao Chengzhang, Zhang Taiyan basically fell out with Sun. The more active group in Anhui and Zhejiang was the Guangfuhui, but Fang Jianxiong generally called it the revolutionary party.

"You two are very impressive, I'm afraid they are not ordinary people. Please let's talk in the room!" Fang Jianxiong was quite polite, and he had no intention of hanging out with these guys who didn't know whether to live or die, and just knew how to act recklessly. Anyway, Fang Jianxiong was determined to do it.

Wait until there is a fight in Wuchang first, and then we will consider starting an uprising and responding. Before that, no matter who you say, you will not be offended or join.

Inviting the two of them into the study, Fang Jianxiong waited for the maid to serve tea and then went out with a smile: "I understand why you two came here. Don't talk about joining the gang. We don't want to conspire against each other. However, there is no harm in being friends.

, if any difficulties come to your door, I will never refuse within my ability.”
