De Cuilin left Gordon Hall in a daze, returned to his home, and immediately stayed in the door. For three days, he couldn't help but go to work in the customs department, and refused to meet all guests. The consuls of Tianjin were also extremely surprised, and they all guessed what kind of blow De Cuilin had suffered from overseas Chinese to become like this.

Three days later, Decuilin finally walked out of her home and came to the Customs Department, but announced to the staff of the Customs Department that she would resign from her position as director of the Tianjin Customs Taxation Department. After she resigned, all the affairs of Tianjin Customs were handed over to overseas Chinese to manage, and immediately handled the handover procedures with the time travelers who arrived later. The People's Army entered the customs to protect relevant archives and materials. The Provisional Government of Tianjin New District then claimed that it had taken back Tianjin Customs from foreigners and safeguarded China's sovereignty.

The time traveler who took over Tianjin Customs was named Deng Yongjian, who was the deputy political commissar on the Kunming ship and the rank of lieutenant colonel. He is also the soldier with the highest position and rank among the military personnel who have been transferred from the military to the administrative staff.

Although customs is only a department-level administrative unit, it has always been an important position. Customs taxation is currently the main source of tax revenue for the Time Travel Group. At the same time, customs is also a department that is prone to corruption. There are no professionals in this field among the current Time Travelers. Therefore, after discussion by the Interim Executive Committee, it is believed that soldiers are still the ones who are currently the ones. As a result, the Interim Military Commission chose Deng Yongjian to serve as the Director of the Customs.

Tianjin Customs has been established for a long time and has complete information. Therefore, if you can accept Tianjin Customs in a balanced manner, it will certainly be conducive to the work of the Time Travel Group. In addition, although the senior management of the Customs is controlled by foreigners, a group of grassroots Chinese employees with rich experience have also been trained. For time Travelers, this is also a very considerable human resources.

Three days ago, Qin Zheng offered De Cuilin the condition that he resigned from Tianjin Customs and left Tianjin from then on. He also handed over the Tianjin Customs to the Tianjin Provisional Government. The time traveler would protect De Cuilin's attempt to annex the Kaiping Coal Mine and preserve De Cuilin's reputation. De Cuilin had no choice but to agree to the request of the time traveler. After all, if his attempt to annex the Kaiping Coal Mine was bursting, he would definitely not be able to maintain his position as the director of the Tianjin Customs Taxation Department. Therefore, it would be better to use this position to protect his reputation. After all, as long as his reputation is still there, he would have a chance to make a comeback.

After taking over Tianjin Customs, Deng Yongqian announced that all customs staff would be retained at one rate. However, from then on, Chinese and foreigners who work in customs will have equal opportunities for promotion and development, and those who want to leave will not be retained. At the same time, a resignation fee will be issued, but the work and information at hand must be handed over clearly. If anyone maliciously conceals work or destroys information, they will be arrested and punished for the crime of destroying public property.

As a result, the handover of Tianjin Customs was very stable. Although many foreign employees left their jobs, the work handover was clear and the information was complete, and it did not have a big impact. The successful change of ownership of Tianjin Customs also made the consuls of various countries realize that unless the Eight-Nation Alliance reoccupied Tianjin and drove away these overseas Chinese, in Tianjin, the overseas Chinese could only be counted in the area of ​​Tianjin.

Just as the Tianjin New District Provisional Government took over the customs, the First Battalion of the People's Army led by Luo Yue set out from Tianjin and entered the Kaiping Coal Mine.

After Decuilin and Hu Hua signed the share transfer agreement of the Kaiping Mining Bureau, the British army immediately sent troops into the mine and controlled the Kaiping coal mine. Of course, this was not because of the fear that the Chinese would repent, but because of the fear that other countries would intervene. Therefore, the British army occupied the first place. At this time, there were more than 60 British troops stationed in the Kaiping coal mine, most of which were Indian soldiers, with only fifteen British people serving as officers.

Tianjin was occupied by time travelers, but the British army stationed at Kaiping Coal Mine was not affected, because Kaiping Coal Mine was about 120 kilometers away from Tianjin, which was not close in this era. Moreover, after the time travelers occupied Tianjin, their energy was focused on stabilizing the situation in Tianjin and internal adjustments did not expand their power to the outside world of Tianjin. Therefore, the British army stationed at Kaiping Coal Mine actually fell asleep on the side of the time traveler's couch.

When the Eight-Nation Alliance counterattacked Tianjin, the British army stationed in Kaiping coal mine also heard the letter and planned to return to the team to participate in the war. However, before they arrived, the Eight-Nation Alliance was defeated and retreated to Beijing. As a result, the British army continued to garrison in Kaiping. At this time, the Kaiping coal mine area had formed a urban area, which could provide the survival of more than 60 British troops. Moreover, Tianjin was lost, and no one was in charge of the British army stationed in Kaiping coal mine. Although the Kaiping Mining Bureau's operations in recent years were not properly managed, it still had a lot of funds and materials. British soldiers took the opportunity to take it for themselves, and everyone made a fortune.

However, when the time travelers freed up their hands, the good days for the British army stationed in Kaiping Coal Mine were over. The first battalion itself had certain combat experience, and both the number of people and weapons and equipment were far stronger than the British army. Therefore, the battle ended in only twenty minutes. More than 30 British soldiers were injured and killed, and the rest all surrendered. Luo Yue then led his army to the Kaiping Coal Mine. The Tianjin New District Government immediately announced that it had successfully recovered the Kaiping Coal Mine that was invaded by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Because the Kaiping coal mine is relatively remote and the British army is stationed here, it has not been damaged. After the British controlled the coal mine, the mining operations were still carried out as usual and supplying coal to various countries. The travelers took over the Kaiping coal mine, which did not cause any conflict. It doesn’t matter who controls the coal mine workers, as long as they pay on time.

Five days later, the Time Traveler established the Kaiping Coal Mine Management Company, with He Shengdong as the company's general manager and formed the company's leadership team. The Kaiping Coal Mine also started production again, leaving a company to be stationed in the Kaiping Coal Mine for a long time. This is also the first large modern enterprise controlled by the Time Travel Group in this time and space.

He Shengdong is an engineering staff member. He used to be a project manager and participated in the project of new rural construction. He has rich middle-level management experience. He was appointed as the general manager of Kaiping Coal Mine Management Company. All other management staff are engineering staff members who have participated in the construction of new rural construction. It also shows that the temporary executive committee resolution, the employment system of engineering personnel and personnel with grassroots work experience will be given priority improvement has been implemented thoroughly.

This is the first time that the Time Traveler has expanded his power to areas outside Tianjin, which also shows that the adjustment within the Time Travel Group has ended and has begun to focus on areas outside Tianjin.

A month later, Decuilin bought all his industries in Tianjin to Time Travelers, with a total value of about 1.2 million taels of silver and a contract of about 200,000 pounds. Decuilin has been operating in Kaijin for more than 30 years and has more than ten industries under his jurisdiction, including many excellent assets. For example, the Tianjin time-honored Lishunde Hotel behind Gordon Hall, has become the first batch of industries for Time Travelers.

However, the time traveler did not lower the price. He basically acquired Decuilin's industry at the market price. More than 1.2 million taels of silver was a huge fortune at that time. Gordon Hall's cost was not more than 30,000 taels of silver, and the estimated price of the entire Kaiping Coal Mine was six or seven million, so Decuilin did not suffer any loss.

De Cuilin took the funds from Buy to leave Tianjin on a boat and came to Shanghai to join Li Hongzhang. At this time, Hoover excitedly returned to China from the UK with the agreement of the new company, and went to Tianjin through Shanghai to prepare to receive the first pot of gold he had dug in his life. However, when he met De Cuilin in Shanghai, he realized that the current situation in China had undergone major changes. Kaiping Coal Mine had been confiscated by overseas Chinese, and his dream of getting rich was completely shattered. De Cuilin was afraid that Hoover would be entangled, so he gave him 5,000 pounds and completely ended the matter.

In fact, 5,000 pounds was a huge sum of money for Hoover at this time. As an engineer, his maximum monthly income was only 200 pounds, but compared with the benefits brought by the encroachment of the Kaiping Coal Mine, it was too trivial. Although Hoover was unwilling to give up, he was just an ordinary engineer now. Now even countries have no choice but to take this group of overseas Chinese. So what if he is unwilling to accept it, so he had to accept Decuilin's 5,000 pounds. Of course, the embezzlement of the Kaiping Coal Mine was ruined, and Hoover could not stay in Molin's company, so he brought the 5,000 pounds back to the United States to start a business.

Decuilin came to Shanghai to join Li Hongzhang and wanted to make a comeback. Unfortunately, Li Hongzhang had lost power at this time and could only pass Hede and found another job for Decuilin at Shanghai Customs. However, compared with the former director of the Tianjin Customs Taxation Department, it was a world of difference. Decuilin developed the habit of spending money like falling into the water when he was in Tianjin. Although he was in a bad mood, his driver still did not fall. As a result, he spent three years in Shanghai, and spent most of his savings, but still achieved nothing, so he had to return to the UK to retire. However, in Shanghai, Decuilin never mentioned the reason for resigning from his official position and leaving Tianjin.

De Cuilin's loss of power naturally made his son-in-law fall sharply, either leaving China, returning to China to develop, or fading out of the current situation in China. Therefore, the De Cuilin family, which was once prominent in China, went to annihilation.

Another party involved in the Kaiping Coal Mine Incident, Zhang Yi, who was then the General Office of the Kaiping Coal Mine, was locked in the prison of the Travel Group. It was not until the travelers seized power across the country that they were released as an amnesty person. At this time, China had already changed everything. Later, with the permission of the government, Zhang Yi wrote a memoir, which recorded in detail the entire story of the Kaiping Coal Mine Incident, which made Decuillin, Hoover and others attempted to annex the Kaiping Coal Mine look like it was revealed to the world.
