    Li Jingfang smiled unnaturally and said: "First of all, of course, I came to visit Baixi."

    "What about the second step?" Sun Yuanqi asked.

    Li Jingfang looked at Li Jingchu and then said solemnly: "A few months ago, according to the report of Sheng Xingsun (Sheng Xuanhuai) of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, the imperial court dismissed Liang Yansun (Liang Shiyi) from his post as director of the General Administration of Railways and from his part-time job as assistant to the Bank of Communications. This matter has nothing to do with it.  Xi, do you know?"

    In the late Qing Dynasty, the General Administration of Railways was a subordinate department of the Postal and Communications Department, and the director was only a minor official of the fourth or fifth rank. Although he had a lot of money, he could not get on the stage.  Not to mention that Sun Yuanqi didn't know about this, he didn't even know who Liang Yansun was.

    Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "My nephew is seriously injured and has been recuperating behind closed doors at home recently. I really didn't know there was such a thing. Why did Minister Xingsun dismiss Liang Yansun from his post?"

    Li Jingchu said angrily: "The memorial said that Liang Yansun controlled the General Administration of Railways, but in fact it was just Sheng Xuanhuai's personal revenge! In the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), Sheng Xuanhuai, then Minister of Posts and Communications, begged for leave due to illness, so the imperial court appointed Tang Shaochuan (Tang Shaoyi).  He served as the Minister of Railway Supervision and was responsible for the restructuring. Tang Shaochuan, with Liang Yansun as the chief copywriter, was responsible for clearing out redundant employees in the original railway company. Many of these redundant employees were from Sheng Xuan's old department, so the two had a grudge. At the end of last year, Tang Shaochuan resigned, and Sheng Xuanhuai continued to serve as post office.  The Secretary of the Ministry of Communications took over the railway affairs. Remembering the old grudge, he killed Liang Yansun and dismissed Liang Yansun from all his positions in the name of monopolizing power."

    Li Jingfang added: "Liang Yansun is from Yuan Xiangcheng, so the court is optimistic about the success of this matter."

    Yuan Shikai made his fortune by training troops at a small station. He had a group of Qiu Ba who were good at fighting, but making plans and intrigues were not their strengths.  Before and after the Revolution of 1911, Yuan Shikai's assistants in the political, economic and cultural fields were mainly Zhao Bingjun, Yang Shiqi, Liang Shiyi and others.  Liang Shiyi was particularly outstanding in economics and scheming.  ¡ª¡ªOf course, there is still Yang Du in history, but he is now living under Sun Yuanqi.

    Sun Yuan nodded, finally understanding the whole story: "Then Liang Yansun's resignation, what does it have to do with the two uncles?"

    Li Jingchu¡¯s face looked a little unhappy: ¡°Baixi, you should be familiar with the rubber stock trend that broke out in the middle of last year, right?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s indeed no stranger.¡± Speaking of which, Sun Yuanqi also had a share of the credit for opening the lid!

    Li Jingchu said: "After the rubber stock craze broke out, numerous large and small banks in Shanghai closed down, and our Yishanyuan also suffered heavy losses¡ª¡ª"

    "Is Yishanyuan the property of my uncle's family?" Surprised, Sun Yuanqi interrupted Li Jingchu's narrative rudely.

    Yishanyuan was the first bank to pioneer the foreign exchange business. It is very powerful. It has 27 branches across the country and has close relationships with as many as 36 banks. Its status is similar to today's China Merchants Bank, and it occupies a huge market share in the financial market.  , its influence can be imagined.

    Li Jingchu replied: "It cannot be counted as the property of our Li family. Our Li family is just the major shareholder of Yishanyuan."

    Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: I'll strangle him!  Just now he said, "My Duke Wen Zhong fought hard in the north and south for many years. Nothing else has been handed down, except for a lot of good gold sore medicine." This source of charity alone is probably worth several million taels of silver.  ?

    Seeing that Sun Yuanqi stopped asking questions, Li Jingchu continued: "Fortunately, Cai Naihuang, the former Shanghai Daoist, advocated active rescue of the market and borrowed 3.5 million taels of emergency loans from major foreign banks, plus 3 million taels of Shanghai official bank, which were deposited in Yuan Fengrun and Yishan Yuan.  , initially maintaining Shanghai's market stability. Who would have thought that just over a month later, due to official strife, Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan and others wrote a letter criticizing Cai Daotai, saying that he had used public affairs for personal gain during the rescue process, had cunning intentions, and deliberately intimidated the court, demanding that Shanghai  Daotai paid 1.9 million taels of official silver within a time limit. Cai Daotai was forced to withdraw part of the official silver from two banks. Subsequently, Yuan Fengrun declared bankruptcy and liquidated."

    "Yi Shanyuan escaped?" Sun Yuanqi had already devoted himself to the epidemic prevention affairs in Northeast China at that time, and did not know much about the follow-up events.

    "How can disaster be so easy to avoid?" Li Jingchu said with a bitter smile: "Because I was still the Prime Minister of the Bank of Communications, I borrowed 2.87 million taels from the Bank of Communications using the Li family's property as collateral; I also urgently transferred funds from branches across the country to make up for the loss.  The deficit after the handover of official funds was considered to be the temporary preservation of Yishanyuan. Moreover, after the collapse of Yuan Fengrun, the Du branch ordered the Daqing Bank to urgently transfer 1 million taels of silver to Shanghai to maintain financial stability; later, the government came to rescue the market again  , presided over by Zhang Qianli (Zhang Renjun), the governor of Liangjiang, borrowing 3 million taels from HSBC, Caili and Dehua Bank with Jiangsu Yanli as guarantee. I thought at the time that the Shanghai market had returned to calm, and Yi Shanyuan should be considered a hiding place.  Have you passed the tribulation? Now it seems, but?, Mr. Li came here this time to implore you to come forward and borrow 2 million taels from banks in Europe and the United States to save the source of justice!  "

    "How much? How much?!" Sun Yuanqi suddenly sat up on the hospital bed regardless of his injuries, "Two million taels?"

    Surprised, Sun Yuanqi actually remembered the classic lines in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance":

    "You bastard, do you think this is a charity hall?"  Want three hundred thousand taels?  No need to talk!

    Three sticks of incense?  Humph, don't say that brother doesn't take care of you. I will definitely write an elegiac couplet for you in your mourning hall. If you write that you deserve to die, you will be unworthy of it, and if you write that you will not regret it, you will not regret it!  You made your choice!  (To be continued.
