The little gentleman's father was sitting in the living room drinking tea and thinking about things. The little gentleman's wife came over and said to her father-in-law: "Father, what should I do from now on? These two people don't look alike at all.

What you said, Master, is just a temporary novelty.

That woman is not a person without any ideas. She always answers to the point. She has seen the world better than me, and she can dress up well. The young master completely dislikes me."

Mr. Xiao's father also knew that his daughter-in-law was only seeking help from him, and was not really seeking death or survival to leave.

The reason why I came to Tianjin from my hometown is because I can no longer stay there. Moreover, my daughter-in-law’s natal family has completely disappeared. Where can she run away from her own home?

Moreover, the security situation in the Tianjin Concession is getting worse and worse now. We cannot say that the police are ineffective. We can only say that there are too many criminals and they are too busy.

If the guards who had escorted him all the way to Tianjin hadn't been abolished, he might have died in the last refugee attack. Although he was suppressed by the army in the concession in the end, the people who died in the conflict were still the same.

Go and never return.

My daughter-in-law can be considered handsome. How can a woman survive in such a chaotic era? Isn't she relying on men and family? My daughter-in-law's natal family is gone, so she can only rely on her man.

.

Originally, the little gentleman's father should have responded positively immediately. But after the little gentleman's father met the sixth girl, he found that this woman was not as bad as he thought. It seems that this man named Wang Wenwu still has some taste.

Mr. Xiao’s father also found out from the conversation with Miss Six that this woman wanted to be a eldest wife. This may be because she is now someone else’s concubine. Regarding the candidate for the future wife of the family, Mr. Xiao’s father did not like him.

As before, so many people firmly chose their current daughter-in-law.

Of course, he didn't show it in front of his daughter-in-law. After sending his daughter-in-law away, the young gentleman's father planned to have a good chat with his son after he came back.

Nowadays, the Tianjin Concession is like a lonely boat. Whether it is dealing with the Japanese aggression or various internal problems, Mr. Xiao's father has to make good plans for his family.

On November 3, the 24th year of the Republic of China, the Nationalist Government announced the implementation of a legal tender policy. The policy stated that banknotes issued by the Central Bank, the Bank of China, and the Bank of Communications were legal tender, and silver dollars were no longer allowed to be used in the market. It also stipulated that other

The banknotes issued by the bank must be exchanged for legal tender within a time limit, and at the same time, the legal reserves, new banknotes that have not yet been issued, and the old banknotes that have been withdrawn are handed over to the Issuance Preparation Management Committee for safekeeping.

The legal reserves here include a large amount of silver dollars. The committee first handed over these cash to the Central Bank for preservation, and later handed them over to the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications for joint preservation. Since the Tianjin Bank of China and the Bank of Communications are both located in the French Concession, the Bank of Communications

There is also a part of the inventory stored in the basement of the old Daosheng Bank in the British Concession. The cash inventories of Bank of China and Bank of Communications in Tianjin are also under the protection of Britain and France.

Tianjin fell. The Japanese army then implemented colonial rule over Tianjin and used various excuses to force the British and French concessions to ban the circulation of legal tender, and required them to hand over the silver stocks of the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications in the concession. The British and French concessions did not take the Japanese army's request seriously, and legal tender continued to circulate in the concession.

, refused to hand over the silver stored in the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications.

Now, as the British and Japanese sides continue to negotiate, the Japanese troops who invaded Tianjin have set up roadblocks around the British Concession.

When Wang Wenwu came to the concession, he also used the space to transport a lot of supplies and made a small fortune by the way.

The reason why the Japanese pay special attention to this cash is not only because the amount is extremely huge, but also because they want to achieve the purpose of using war to support war.

After Japan occupied Beiping and Tianjin, it established the pseudo-China Joint Reserve Bank and issued "United Bank Notes" on a large scale in an attempt to replace legal tender with "United Bank Notes", thus seizing Chinese legal tender in disguise.

Because "United Bank Notes" are illegal currency and cannot be used in the international foreign exchange market. Japan can only exchange foreign currency and purchase wartime supplies by plundering Chinese legal currency. In addition to legal currency, the white cash can be taken directly.

By selling them in the foreign exchange market, you can achieve the purpose of purchasing military supplies.

In addition to the money problem, what made the Japanese army even more uneasy was that there were various anti-Japanese forces lurking in the British and French concessions. These forces mostly operated in secret, destroying the Japanese army's warehouses, factories, shops, foreign companies, etc., especially several

An assassination attempt against a traitor that shocked the country.

But all this made Mr. Xiao's father realize that hiding in and out of here was not as safe as he thought before. He also wanted to buy some property, otherwise he would always be left with nothing. No matter how much property he had, he would not be able to withstand it.

But there has been little progress in the matter of purchasing property. When Mr. Xiao’s family was in his hometown, he was the first to introduce Western machinery to open a factory. This made the old man’s mouth full of food.

But this is different in Tianjin. There are not only Chinese businessmen here, but each business is as strong as its own. There is also competition from foreign banks.

If it's not good, not only may the capital not be recovered, but it may even become a bottomless pit.

Of course, this is the same as Mr. Xiao's factory in his hometown, but it is the worst factory. Not only does it not have any technology, but all the equipment is purchased from the West. Even the maintenance of the equipment depends on foreigners.

Mr. Xiao lives in his hometown, and by virtue of his local influence, he is engaged in a unique business. Naturally, he won't bother with all the hard work.

The young gentleman and the sixth girl returned to the back street of the barber shop.

The sixth girl did not go back to the barber shop immediately. Instead, as if she wanted to go to the young gentleman's house, she first tidied up the young gentleman's clothes that were a little wrinkled because of the rickshaw ride.

The young gentleman looked at the woman in front of him. He saw such a gentle and lovely woman. He knew how frustrating the meal just now was.

His sweetheart, the one he loves and cherishes in his hands. In his own home, he actually needs to please the servants. This makes the young gentleman feel quite guilty.

The young gentleman said: "There is no need for you to make things difficult for yourself with my father. And you have also seen that there are many guards at my house. Don't be afraid. You can leave that person with peace of mind and start a new life with me.

!”

The sixth girl stroked the young gentleman's handsome face, looked into his eyes affectionately, and said, "That's your father. How can I alienate you father and son because of me?"
