Zhang Kexiang, the veteran of the Youzhou Republic Senate, left the Senate building with all his thoughts and returned to his mansion.

His thoughts have little to do with the "million Khitan" approaching Lushun Prefecture, but are related to a secret letter sent by his cousin, Zhang Kegong, the current Hebei Transportation Initiative.

As a member of the Zhang family generals of Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhang Kexiang is of course in Wuying and Zhao. In his opinion, the Youzhou Republic regime in Wuhaogu was just a traitor! Since he was a traitor, he was certainly punished by everyone. If the "Million Khitan" wanted to attack Lushun, even if he won, he would kill the traitor. What's the point?

In the letter Zhang Kegong sent to Zhang Kexiang, of course, it also mentioned how to dig out a corner of the Republican regime.

It is of course the best idea to reject the issuance of war bonds in the Senate! However, Zhang Kegong also knew that this matter was a bit difficult.

Then Zhang Kegong hoped that Zhang Kexiang could settle for the second best and help Hebei Xuanfu Department hire heroes in Tianjin. The heroes in Yan land were limited. The imperial court hired one person, and Wu Haogu could hire less than one person.

This time, the imperial court allocated 10 million yuan to the Hebei Xuanfu Department, which was nominally recruiting arms to prepare for war against the Khitan, but in fact it was to compete with Wu Haogu.

Zhang Kegong (the money was allocated to the Xuanfu Department, but the Transport Department was in charge of the money) and Tao Jiefu did not save money for Zhao Ji, and offered 200 yuan of settlement fees and a high salary of 5 yuan per month, and the military rations were calculated separately. If you take the horses and equipment, the settlement fee would be added to 100 yuan, and the monthly salary would be increased to 8 yuan.

The price is really not low, enough to dig up a little Wu Haogu's corner. The task assigned by Zhang Kegong to his cousin was to hire guards in the name of the Zhang family's business, which would make the better. The expenses of hiring a guard team were of course reimbursed by the Hebei Transportation Department.

This matter is a betrayal if you talk too seriously!

Zhang Kexiang himself is an old man and of course a citizen, and he has the obligation to defend Youzhou. Now Youzhou is facing a great enemy and people are in panic. If he, the old citizen, takes the lead in betraying, then he will step on the bottom line of Wu Haogu...

Moreover, the collapse of Youzhou is not good for Zhang Kexiang!

Because Zhang Kexiang is not popular among the Zhang family generals, Zhang Qi, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was very capable of giving birth to twenty-four sons. Zhang Kexiang's generation was too numerous to count, so he did not have the ability to get a hereditary official position, nor did he have the ability to take the Jinshi exam. Otherwise, how could he be sent to Tianjin to do business?

And he made a fortune in Tianjin again, and now he holds more than 10 million yuan in family assets... The property rights of this property are a bit difficult to explain!

In Youzhou, all these properties are registered under Zhang Kexiang's name! In the view of the Zhang family in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhang Kexiang's property is a clan property.

In Tianjin, Zhang Kexiang was certainly not afraid of Zhang's generals coming to fight for his family. He was a senator or a member of the party named Xiangguo Temple Sect in the Senate. He did not believe in the Tianli Sect, but traditional Buddhists often gathered at the Daxiangguo Temple in Tianjin, so he was called the Xiangguo Temple Sect.

Such an identity is an amazing existence in Youzhou. Wu Haogu himself is also the chief veteran of the Senate, slightly higher than Zhang Kexiang.

But if he went to Kaifeng Prefecture, what is Zhang Kexiang's elder? He just had the official body of a ninth-rank military officer (he came from his own movement). Why should he have tens of millions of property?

Therefore, Zhang Kexiang and several other bigwigs from the Xiangguo Temple Sect are now quite conflicting.

On one hand, there is the court, and on the other hand, his own wealth and status... It is really hard to choose! Should I be a rich and traitor, or a poor and pauper, loyal and filial son?

After Zhang Kexiang was in a dilemma, he was waiting for dinner in the hall when he saw his two sons who were in elementary school, Liulang Zhang Zhongshu and Yalang Zhang Zhongning chatting in the corner with excitement. He called them forward, and suddenly remembered what Wu Haogu said in the Senate, so he asked.

"Sir, the child is going to join the army and go to Liaodong to fight with the Khitans!"

"Sir, go too! The child is a citizen of Youzhou. If you are responsible for the rise and fall of Youzhou, you must not sit and watch the Yongjia Rebellion reappear in China!"

What?

These two little bastards are crazy?

Zhang Kexiang couldn't believe his ears. He was still thinking about recruiting some heroes in Tianjin to dig out the corners of Wu Haogu. When he got home, he saw that his son was going to join the army to defend Wu Haogu...

"You, how old are you? How can you join the army?" Zhang Kexiang pointed at his two sons, "And Youzhou is from the Wu family, so you need to protect it?"

"Sir," said Zhang Zhongshu, who was a little older and a fifth-grade student at Beikai Primary School, "My son is already sixteen and has good martial arts skills. Why can't he join the army? And why is it from Youzhou the Wu family? Wu Zhizheng is an elder, and you are also an elder. Youzhou has one!"

Is there any? Zhang Kexiang thought about it carefully and it seemed that there was really...

Zhang Zhongning, who is a little younger and half of the Hu bloodline (a baby born by Zhang Kexiang and a Hu Ji), also said: "Sir, although the child is only thirteen years old, he also has martial arts skills and is not afraid of the Khitans! He also needs to defend the Youzhou Republic! After defeating the Khitan, the child will no longer study, and he will be a knight."

"You..." Looking at the two uneasy sons, Zhang Kexiang was so angry that he didn't know what to say. In his opinion, the martial artist was ultimately a low-ranking man, and the song title outside Donghua Gate was a good man.

So his older sons stayed at the Zhang family school in Kaifeng Prefecture to study, but unfortunately they were limited in talent and could not even pass the trial. Now they are old and still study hard at home.

It was precisely because the big ones were not promising that Zhang Kexiang was also excited and asked the two young ones to study the new ones. In the future, if they failed to pass the Jinshi exam, they could take on their own business.

But unexpectedly, my two sons were brainwashed in the empirical school!

Zhang Kexiang had a stern face and was about to teach his son a lesson, when the servant at home came to inform him: A guest was visiting!

The visiting was also a veteran of the Daxiangguo Sect. Master Zhishen, the abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple in Tianjin, was Lu Zhishen. Daxiangguo Temple is also one of the initiators of Jiehe Commercial City. Moreover, Daxiangguo Temple Bank (the original Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple Changshengku) is also the bank with the largest asset scale in Youzhou. Master Zhishen became a veteran of Youzhou Senate through the tax payment of Daxiangguo Temple Bank.

The rich monk came, and Zhang Kexiang had no time to train his son. He quickly asked someone to prepare a vegetarian meal, and went out to greet him in person, and invited the monk into the inner hall.

Monk Zhishen is a little older now, with a gray beard and not as fat as ever, but his voice is still as bright as ever.

"How is it? Are your little men also yelling to join the army to serve the country?" The monk took the tea cup handed over by the servants of the Zhang family, took a sip of fragrant tea, and asked with a smile.

Zhang Kexiang was a little strange when he heard this. Why did Lu Zhishen ask this? He has no son...

"Xiang's two grandsons were also bewitched, and the old man was so angry that he ran to Daxiangguo Temple to become a monk."

"Become a monk?" Zhang Kexiang was stunned and stunned, "When he became a monk, will his two grandsons not join the army?"

"Oh," Master Zhishen shook his head repeatedly, "The two grandsons have been small in military affairs, and Daming has fought for the family to make a big deal."

"Daming Xiang family..." Zhang Kexiang sighed.

Every family has a difficult sutra! The Xiang Bao family also has a property rights dispute between Zhang Kexiang's family, and it is even more troublesome. Zhang Kexiang is the descendant of Zhang Qi, and Zhang Kegong, Zhang Shuye, and Zhang Kejian (also a Jinshi from the Zhang family) are both serious Zhang family members. But Xiang Bao is not a descendant of Xiang Minzhong, but only a member of the Xiang clan. After being entrusted by Xiang Zonghui and Xiang Zongliang, he brought tens of thousands of treasuries to Jiehe Market to start a business.

Who knew that this business was so prosperous! I had millions of scoops, and I became the senator of the Youzhou Republic Senate.

The two brothers of the Xiang family who supported him died one after another during the Daguan period. The descendants of the Xiang family wanted to allocate the industries run by Xiang Bao, and asked Xiang Bao to sell the industries and take the money back to Kaifeng Mansion. However, Xiang Bao's sons refused to agree and wanted to swallow the millions of properties.

Speaking of which, this matter is also a matter of Wu Haogu. During the development of Jiehe Commercial City, he had several property rights registrations. Using the excuse of convenient tax collection, he encouraged agents like Zhang Kexiang and Xiang Bao to "hold on behalf of others".

In other words, Zhang Kexiang and Xiang Bao have millions of property under their names!

The wealth is touching!

They not only had wealth, but also the senators of the Republic's Senate... Although they had political differences with Wu Haogu, they had been operating in Tianjin for many years and formed their own power. Moreover, the earlier Jiehe Market and now Youzhou had their own set of rules for their politics. They took the principle of the world as public, the voting of the Senate and social opinion (mainly newspapers) as a means, and the judiciary and the army had never intervened in internal struggles. Moreover, the Senate did not aim to deprive their opponents of their lives and voice. Even the suppressed Daxiangguo Temple faction still acted as the senate, and their property and honor were extremely guaranteed.

Wu Haogu set a very good example in this regard. Not only did the elders of the Daxiangguo Temple Sect not be persecuted, but even the property of the Liao Kingdom relatives who were tying millions to fight Lushun in Tianjin was also protected.

"Mr. Mingxin," said the monk Zhishen, calling Zhang Kexiang's nickname and whispered, "You Zhang family has more than twenty rooms... Give them a little bit of your family business, how much is left? Or do you also go to Daxiangguo Temple to stay for a few days?"

"Is this a monk effective?" Zhang Kexiang took a breath, "I think I have to look at Liaodong! Liaodong is the battle to establish a country. If it wins, Mr. Xiang and I will be the elders of the Republic..."

The monk just smiled, "Laby, do you think you can win?"

Zhang Kexiang was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "This matter is not about the old man, but about the young man! The two dogs in my family are clamoring to join the army to kill the enemy... I don't know how many such young men are in Youzhou?"

The monk stretched out two slaps and smiled and said, "There is always a hundred thousand, right?"

"Hundreds of thousands? How is that possible?"
