The group went down the Yellow Crane Tower and sent Zhao Bei to the rocks before stopping. Yang Du said, "Yang lived in Speaker Li's mansion these days. If the commander-in-chief made up his mind, he would send someone to inform him. Now the court is sincerely committed to constitutionalism, and all conditions are easy to say."

Zhao Bei bowed and said, "Xizi, whether it is a Republic or a Jun Xian, I have to decide it alone. All the soldiers of the Republican Army have the final say, and the people of the world have the final say. One step back, even if it is a constitutional monarch, we have to find a Han person to be the emperor. The bannermen have been trampling on us for more than 200 years, so we can't ask them to step on it anymore, right? We revolutionaries have been calling 'racial revolution', so we can't just shout it out in vain? If the bannermen don't let the country, wouldn't we slap ourselves?"

Everyone's expressions changed. Zhao Bei's words understood very well. Even if he agreed to the constitutional monarchy, it was probably not the King of the Qing court. Yang Du was not surprised. He pondered for a moment thinking about it and said, "Yang has recorded the words of the Commander-in-Chief."

Zhao Bei nodded and said to Zou Tingbi who was standing beside him: "Mr. Zou, I heard that Mr. Zou was an industrialist on the way. I originally wanted to say something to him, but I was busy talking about Jun Xian just now. I don't know where the teacher is staying? Zhao went to visit him when he had time."

Zou Tingbi said, "You are polite to Commander-in-Chief. In fact, Zou also has important matters to discuss with the Commander-in-Chief. If the Commander-in-Chief is convenient, we might as well talk on the road." As he said that, he pointed to Li Yuanhong's carriage.

"Okay, I'll say on the road. Speaker Li, I'll lend you a carriage." Zhao Bei nodded, regardless of whether Li Yuanhong was happy or not, and raised the whip and took Tian Jinfu into the car. Zou Tingbi and the others sued, and hurriedly brought a servant into the car.

With the guards' incline, the carriage slowly started.

"What does Mr. Zou say, let's say it. Lao Tian is my guard captain, not an outsider." Zhao Bei pointed to Tian Jinfu sitting opposite him. The situation of the struggle is complicated and we are not distinguished from each other. No matter where Zhao Bei goes, he must at least bring one company of guards, and Tian Jinfu is his personal bodyguard.

Zou Tingbi hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Zou came here not for constitutional establishment."

"Oh? I hope to hear the details." Zhao Bei was a little curious.

"I'm not afraid of laughing at the commander-in-chief. Now I'm almost at a loss. I come to Wuhan just to ask the commander-in-chief for help." Zou Tingbi sighed and told the whole story one by one. Only then did Zhao Bei understand why he came to Wuchang.

Zou Tingbi was born into a tutor family and was poor. When he was young, he went to Shanghai to be an apprentice of the Iron Number. At that time, Shanghai had opened a port and foreign merchants gathered. Seeing this, Zou Tingbi buried himself in learning foreign dialects. After many years of cold and heat, he finally achieved success. He became a small comprador in a foreign company. From then on, he left foreigners to work alone and started his own career. Now he has many industries under his name, and has been involved in many industries such as steel, grain, oil, construction, medicinal materials, pawnshops, cotton weaving, and silk weaving. Although he was not a rich man, he was also considered a genius in the business world. After the Boxern, the Qing court implemented the "new policy". Zou Tingbi asked someone to go through relationships and finally got into a narrow lawsuit with Prince Qing Yi, Lianruthenium, Xin Suqiu, and started to smuggle;

Catching up this kind of run-up, I couldn't handle it for a moment, and I was about to go bankrupt, Zou Tingbi had to borrow money everywhere and finally managed to deal with it. But who knew that Yuan Shikai rebelled again. The Beiyang Army was ordered to attack the Governor of Liangjiang. The war spread to Jiangsu. The society was in turmoil. As a result, there were more and more depositors. Xincheng Bank could no longer hold on. Zou Tingbi's backer Yi Lie Sha Shao's jealous and meteoric balls were tamed. Locust silk showed its brilliance. Lu? My nephew? The bed was deserted?? 〓б Refuge the cup of the brilliance. The brilliance was secretly wielding the punishment of Xinzhi.?? Putting together the armpit and rudging eyes, the sword?? blowing the tribute palm?? The goods were leaning on Huiyan?p>The current situation is very clear. In the north, Yuan Shikai ordered the world.

In the south, the Republican Army was very powerful, and Zou Tingbi chose almost only these two directions. He either defected to Yuan Shikai or Zhao Bei. He thought about it carefully: Yuan Shikai was majestic, but rich and might not be able to look at his small bank. On the other hand, although the Republican Army was a new force, it was full of vitality and was full of aura. What he lacked seemed to be the support of powerful industrialists and businessmen. After thinking about it, Zou Tingbi ran to Wuchang, first met Li Yuanhong, and then took the Zhao Bei line through Li Yuanhong to see if he could find a savior. Today, he proposed to visit Huanghe Tower, with the main purpose of visiting the commander-in-chief.

Of course, Yuan Shikai had to send people to explore the road. After all, Yuan Xiangcheng seemed to be in the world and had to flatter him. As a result, Zou Tingbi himself ran to Hubei and sent his son to Tianjin to see if he could catch up with Yuan Shikai's line. This is called betting on both ends, making sure to make a profit without losing money. However, this cannot be told to Commander-in-Chief Zhao. By the same token, Yuan Shikai from the north did not know the real reason why Zou Tingbi did not visit him in person.

After hearing Zou Tingbi say, Zhao Bei frowned and thought about it carefully for a moment.

It is obvious that this is a very speculative businessman, and he is very brave. He is indeed a rare business genius when he wants to do it, but the question is, why does Zhao Bei help him?

Zhao Bei said: "From Mr. Zou's words, is Xincheng Bank going bankrupt?"

Zou Tingbi said: "When the commander-in-chief helps, the bank will not go bankrupt. If the commander-in-chief does not help, the bank will not go bankrupt. Whether the bank or not is only a matter of thought by the commander-in-chief."

"Why should I help?" Zhao Bei asked.

Zou Tingbi blinked and said, "I know that the Commander-in-Chief is buying saltpeter and sulfur everywhere recently. If the Commander-in-Chief is willing to help, I am willing to work hard for the Commander-in-Chief."

"You are very informed." Zhao Bei nodded, as if he had agreed to Zou Tingbi's words.

Now the Hanyang Arsenal is working overtime to make weapons and ammunition, and the raw materials are consumed very much, but the concession in Hankou is still "armed neutral" and cannot be purchased nearby. Apart from a little bit of smuggling, he can only send people to other places to purchase. During this period, Zhao Bei has sent several groups of people to go east to try to purchase raw materials in Shanghai and other places, but no news has been heard back so far, which makes him extremely anxious.

"To be honest, when I visit the commander-in-chief, I have brought with me tens of thousands of kilograms of Japanese sulfur and tens of thousands of kilograms of Chilean saltpeter. It is on the Siguan Hall pier. Although there are not many, I am very concerned about it. The commander-in-chief can send someone to pick it up immediately." Zou Tingbi said.

Zhao Bei thought about it and asked, "How can I help you? If you ask me to invest some cash in your bank, it may not work. Now the Revolutionary Army is not financially prosperous."

"As long as the commander-in-chief sends a power, it is fine. The statement said that from now on, all the fiscal surplus in Hubei Province will be deposited in Xincheng Bank. Once the statement is issued, the run will be stopped."

"That's so simple?" Zhao Bei was a little surprised. If it was that simple, it would be really cheap.

"Of course, it's better to deposit some cash, and deposit it in front of the run depositors. Just deposit it in the ocean for 500,000 yuan. You can deposit it during the day and quietly raise it at night."
