He simply turned bla aoldlera loose In the rice llclds, and i hey had to be content with the rations mm me iiiiseraoie pittance paid to them by the government 'I he gnat man also became his own contractor for army supplies. He would sen his own rice to the government Cor army radons at an enormous profit, ami pocketed u bandaoma rake off ou all other supplies furnished to the tens of thousands of soldiers lu the Pechlll province.

It has long been notorious that one of the methods be employed was to Import l nan title! of goods through bis agents without the payment Of a cent of duty, and than sell the goods nt a round llgure to his countrymen. This meth od of money-making finally Involved the old gentleman In trouble, charges were made against him, and he came near losing bis ortlclal bend; but his power was so great and his real services to the state ttrre so valuable that he was almost Invulnerable In spite of the many enemies who huve always born ready to accuse blm.

One of the greatest sources of monev getting employed by Li linug Chang during the later years of bis enrcer as Viceroy was as a mouey lender.
