Chapter 40: Weak Court

Zhou Comprador left in a hurry and came back in a hurry.

Ji Shan was eating lunch. He took a sip of the red wine and asked casually, “Zhou, it’s done. Is that Yang Yi scared out of his courage? Such a small person always thinks that he can do whatever he wants with some money. I don’t know him. In the eyes of some people, it is just a bed bug, a bed bug that can be pinched to death at will.”

Zhou Comprador cursed in his heart, if Yang Yi is a bug, then what is he?

He cried and said, “Mr. Jishan, you may be disappointed. We didn’t even see Yang Yi’s face. Although you gave me ten soldiers and ten guns, they have hundreds of guns.”

Comprador Zhou recalled the scene of being pointed at his head by hundreds of guns, but he still had lingering fears.

It’s so cruel.

Yang’s Industrial Group actually owns so many muskets.

At that moment, he knelt down.

Other United States soldiers followed suit and surrendered directly.

In the end, they failed to warn and were disarmed by the other party instead.

“What!”

Ji Shan stood up and said loudly, “How could this be, damn it, how could he have so many guns?”

Comprador Zhou shrugged and said, “He has money. It is not easy to buy a gun.”

Jishan asked, “If he is rich, is he rich?”

Comprador Zhou is speechless, dare to feel that you don’t even know who the enemy is, no wonder you are so arrogant.

He had to patiently say: “Of course he is very rich, and it is very likely to be the richest in Guangdong. He has hundreds of factories under his name, spread across all provinces and counties in Guangdong, and his monthly profit is at least one million yuan. You said Is he rich?”

hiss! hiss

Ji Shan also took a deep breath, earning millions of dollars a month, wouldn’t it be tens of millions that year!

Even if it is located in the United States, it is also a prominent rich man.

Ji Shan’s face became gloomy, and he walked back and forth.

Things are far more troublesome than he thought.

In fact, he also knows that as long as he apologizes, the other party will definitely lift the ban on them.

But he couldn’t lower his head, so he said coldly: “Since I can’t deal with him, let your government deal with it. In your country of China, aren’t businessmen who are afraid of the government?”

Comprador Zhou wanted to say that it also depends on who it is.

For a big businessman like Yang Yi, the hidden dark forces are even more afraid. No official will be stupid enough to be a good enemy of him. Unless the other party rebels, the court really can’t help the other party.

At least, the Foshan government did not dare to provoke Yang Yi.

…………

Ji Shan took the soldiers and found the prefect.

He said indignantly: “Provocation, this is a provocation. Wu, you must order him to cancel the purchase ban and compensate me with 500,000 yuan, otherwise I will regard this as a provocation by your country to America. At that time, you will be responsible for the series of consequences caused by this.”

The prefect was shocked. He hurriedly bent over and explained: “Mr. Jishan, please listen to me. This is Yang Yi’s personal behavior and has nothing to do with our Qing government. Moreover, this purchase ban is a commercial act, and our government cannot interfere. .”

Ji Shan said arrogantly: “I don’t care. I will give you one day. If you can’t solve it in one day, then wait for the war to start.”

With that, he turned around and left.

The prefect paled, and he thumped his chest and said: “How can Yang Yi do such ignorant things? Isn’t this a mischief to the chief? Once two wars are caused, he is a sinner. Come on. People, prepare a sedan chair.”

…………

Yang Mansion.

Yang Yi saw the prefect who was full of fear.

The prefect said with sorrow, “Yang Yi, this official was so optimistic about you before, why did you do such a silly thing, wanting to trap the official to death without burial?”

Yang Yi was surprised and asked: “Why did you say this, your lord?”

The prefect said angrily: “Why are you saying this? Are you calling for a ban on United States purchases in the city? Do you know that the United States people will use this as an excuse to prepare to go to war with us. Then the court will blame it, Ben How can officials survive?

And once the war begins, not only will the Westernization Movement that has been going on for many years be stopped, but the road to the rise of the country will be interrupted. The people of Foshan will also be plunged into dire straits, and you will be the country’s sinner.

Yang Yi, if you listen to my advice, let’s stop here.

Mr. Jishan said, as long as you compensate him with 500,000 yuan, he won’t care about it anymore. ”

Yang Yi’s face turned cold, and said indifferently: “The adults are serious, I’m just a business behavior, and ascending is not at the level of national conflict. Also, I’m a small businessman, and I don’t understand or don’t want to understand major national issues. If your lord only talks about this, please forgive me for nothing I can do.”

“you!”

The prefect opened his eyes wide, revealing an incredible color.

This Yang Yi, dare to treat him this way?

He was frightened and angry, and almost blurted out and grabbed the opponent.

But thinking of the opponent’s force and thinking that this is Yang Mansion, he secretly said that it was bad, so he flicked his sleeves and said coldly: “Yang Yi, if that’s the case, then you can do it yourself.”

With that, he turned around and left.

“My lord, go slowly, don’t give it away!”



Yang Yi said lightly, his eyes cold.

He used to think that the prefect was pretty good, but he didn’t expect that once he met a foreigner, he would completely lose his bones.

In this matter, the United States was wrong first, and the other party even persuaded him to compensate the other party with half a million yuan, which is extremely incompetent.

…………

Back to the prefect of Yamen, his heart was still angry.

He called to the admiral, explained the matter all over, and finally angrily said: “Master Cheng, you will light up my soldiers and horses now and catch Yang Yi back to the officer.”

The admiral was shocked and hurriedly said: “My lord, you can’t make it, you can’t make it. This Yang Yi has more than 10,000 employees in Foshan. Once we catch them for no reason, don’t we want to force them?”

The prefect was full of spirits, and instantly calmed down.

If it was an ordinary businessman, they would arrest if they caught it, but Yang Yi was different.

In Foshan, more than 10,000 people directly rely on Yang Yi for food, and more than 100,000 people indirectly rely on him for food. This is an extremely large number, and it might provoke civil upheavals.

The admiral had more than three thousand green camps. They said they were good soldiers, but they were old, weak, sick, and disabled.

The prefect walked back and forth, fearing: “Then how is this good?”

The admiral frowned and said, “My lord, in my opinion, this Mr. Jishan should have intimidated us. He is just a small squadron commander who can’t decide the battle between the two countries. Besides, the most powerful foreigners are now It’s the British, and the United States are so far apart, we don’t have to fear them at all.”

Having said this, he paused and suggested: “My lord, while you respond to Mr. Ji Shan, you say that our government can’t control Yang Yi, and you report it to the Governor overnight.”

The prefect’s eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly and said, “Okay, just do as you said.”

If the matter is reported to the governor, his responsibilities can be shrunk most of the time.
