Red Alert 1895

Chapter 271: Immigration (on)

When Wang Guorui returned to Borneo, Indonesia, the work in Taiwan was also proceeding in an orderly manner. Taiwan first sent a message to the Taiwan Office in Beijing, and then ordered Zhou Chen, the director of the Taiwan Office in Beijing, to start preparations for immigration. As for the specific immigration work, of course, the local officials of the Qing Dynasty needed to cooperate with each other, otherwise it would not be possible to complete. And Zhou Chen also received a large amount of activity funds. As for what it was used for, this is the way of heaven.

"Brother, please take it to drink tea, our Taiwan Embassy in Beijing wants to meet the governor of Zhili, Mr. Wang Wenshao!" Zhou Chen said.

And the concierge took a bank note of three hundred taels, and he didn't dare to neglect at all, so he went to report immediately. Of course, in Zhou Chen's current capacity as the director of Taiwan's Beijing Office, if he asked to see Wang Wenshao, Governor of Zhili, it didn't need to be that complicated. But in the position of the Beijing Office, and having been in the society of the Tiandihui for many years, he naturally knows the truth that the king of **** likes to see little devils. Although these little guys don’t seem to have much power, they are fundamental to Taiwan. A piece of cake. But they have affected a lot of judgments of their mission goals, so they still have to give some for this mission. If the time comes, he deliberately talks nonsense in front of his mission target, it will be miserable. Therefore, if it can be avoided, it is avoided, and all unfavorable factors must be minimized. This is the quality that a shrewd agent should have.

"Our Lord Wang wants to see you!" said the porter.

"Oh, brother Zhou Chen, what brought you here?" Wang Wenshao asked.

Although Taiwan and the mainland are now secretly hostile, it is a matter of face. Still have to be prepared. As for Taiwan's strength and status, Wang Wenshao also has to show face to Taiwan's "Minister" in Beijing, otherwise who knows if this guy will say nonsense in front of people in Taiwan in the future, this will be troublesome . So some things on the face must be prepared!

"Master Wang Wenshao. You should also know that Taiwan has captured Kalimantan Island in Borneo." Zhou Chen paused.

"Oh, I've heard that you Taiwan has given us Chinese a face, and you have taken such a large piece of territory from foreigners. This is really amazing." Wang Wenshao boasted.

And Zhou Chen also said without any concealment: "Although we have conquered such a large piece of territory, there are not enough Chinese to help us occupy it. And if this continues, it will be tantamount to conquering the territory. So we Immigration is necessary, and what we currently lack in Taiwan is sufficient population. If Mr. Wang can cooperate with us, then we will be very grateful to Mr. Wang.”

"It's easy to say, your governor of Taiwan is also surnamed Wang. You and I are in the same family!" Wang Wenshao said.

After Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately said in his heart: "There is a door!"

Of course Zhou Chen could hear that Wang Wenshao was trying to get close, hoping to gain Taiwan's favor. As for the stuff of my own family, this is of no value at all. This is just an excuse, if it can be used, it can be used, and if others don't take it seriously, then it's okay. But now this is tantamount to Wang Wenshao taking the initiative to make friends. So Zhou Chen has to take the initiative to agree, otherwise how can he complete the next task?

"My lord Wang, a family doesn't talk about two different things. Our lord Wang often mentions you too! He said that your brother is the pillar of the Wang family, and you are the great talent of our Wang family!" Zhou Chen replied.

And with Zhou Chen's mouth, Wang Guorui and Wang Wenshao became "life brothers" inexplicably. But Wang Wenshao is a few dozen years old, and Wang Guorui has become brothers, so it's a bit embarrassing for Wang Wenshao. However, in officialdom, official position is the most important factor in determining status. Therefore, Wang Guorui, the most powerful governor in China, is not an insult to Wang Wenshao.

But next. Now that they have become relatives, it is time to help out.

"Okay. Since Brother Wang asked me to help, then I will help. But you also know that our Qing Dynasty is rampant, not as clean as Taiwan. And we are all powerless about it, and we are in the quagmire I can't help myself! Well, of course it's not that I don't want to help, it's really difficult. But if my brother must need it, then I can do my best to help, no matter what." Wang Wenshao said.

And Zhou Chen immediately took out a piece of paper, and said, "This is a bearer bond from the American Citibank, worth 50,000 taels of silver. It's a small thing! This is the first batch of gifts for Mr. Wang!"

"Well, how embarrassing is this!" Wang Wenshao said politely, but quickly took the Citibank bond and put it in the horseshoe sleeve.

And this Citibank bond is actually a kind of national debt, and this kind of unregistered national debt is more secure, and it will not be easy to be checked like those bank notes and deposits. Therefore, although this kind of bond has a relatively long payback period, it is better than safety! There will even be more money in hand at that time. After all, national bonds also have interest, and those who buy them can earn interest. Wang Wenshao also understood this, so he immediately pocketed the bonds.

For these bureaucrats in the Qing Dynasty, whether it was Zhou Chen or even Wang Guorui, they also deeply understood their greediness. So when dealing with these guys, sometimes 10,000 good words may not be as effective as 10,000 taels of silver. So it is best to solve it directly with money. As for now, I will give them money, and this Wang Wenshao is really tempted.

"Also, as long as we send one commoner, we can give you half a silver dollar!" Zhou Chen said.

And this news made Wang Wenshao's eyes light up, and this was a lot of money. You must know that they are all officials of the imperial court, as long as they give an order, they can get more people. You must know that in mainland China, many people are also very poor, and their lives are very miserable. As long as they can give some food, then they can be sent to Taiwan. In this way, a sum of money has also come, and this kind of thing is simply to arrest the people by force.

The condition given by the Taiwan side was one silver dollar per citizen, but when Zhou Chen came here, he cut it in half. After all, he couldn't expose his bottom line from the beginning. He cut it in half to prepare for the next discussion.

"Brother Zhou Chen, we can do this, but I have an idea. I don't know if you Taiwan can agree or not?" Wang Wenshao asked.

Zhou Chen asked, "Please tell me!"

"Brother Zhou Chen, I heard that you have recently opened up a lot of territory, so there is a shortage of officials. What do you think of dogs? My youngest son is about twenty years old this year. If you want, you can send him to work for Brother Wang." Wang Wenshao said .

Zhou Chen immediately knew what this Wang Wenshao wanted to do. In fact, this Wang Wenshao just hoped to bet on both sides. Send my youngest son to Taiwan to work, and then I can give myself another way. Now any officials in the mainland know that Taiwan is likely to become the ruler of China in the future, so they all hope to get some benefits. And Wang Wenshao himself is currently the governor of Zhili, and he is also the minister of Beiyang. It is impossible for him to seek refuge in Taiwan. Will Taiwan be able to let him be the prime minister? Even if he, a governor-level person, took refuge in the past, he couldn't get any good arrangements.

And Wang Wenshao just hoped to bet on both ends. He served in the Manchu Qing government in the mainland, but then he sent his youngest son to serve in Taiwan, so that both ends could develop. This is the way to keep the family going no matter what. After all, if you only bet on one end, it may be very dangerous in the end. Therefore, Wang Wenshao hopes to bet on both sides, and then his family can survive this revolution in peace. Now Taiwan is in urgent need of officials, so he sent his son to take up the post. It's a good time! At this time, Taiwan lacks officials~lightnovelpub.net~, especially experienced officials, who can be reused. Taking refuge at this time, maybe those experienced people can advance several levels in a row, so my son has seized the good opportunity.

"My lord Wang, we in Taiwan pay attention to meritocracy, so if Mr. Ling goes to Taiwan, not only must he obey Taiwan's arrangement of positions, but he must also pass the assessment and assign positions according to his performance, so you have to think clearly! In Taiwan, there may not be too many people who will take you, the son of the governor of Zhili, seriously! At that time, Mr. Ling may have to suffer, so Mr. Wang, do you really want your son to suffer?" Zhou Chen said.

But Wang Wenshao was determined to send one of his sons there. He just said: "Jade is not perfect, so he should leave my wings and create his own sky. So when he arrives in Taiwan, you can use it whatever you want. Don't give me face. If this guy is useless, then don't come back."

"Well, I can agree to you in principle, but I can't directly guarantee his starting point. I'm afraid he still has to pass the assessment of the Personnel Office before he can be assigned a position, and I can only promise you that he can go. What do you think? ?” Zhou Chen said.

Wang Wenshao was overjoyed when he got this result, and said: "Thank you, brother Zhou, I will invite you to drink tea some other day!" (To be continued)
