Beiyang 1917

The ministries of the previous cabinet governments of Beiyang, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the three high-ranking and powerful ministries have always been the private land of the Southern Party members. The conditions for the exchange of the throne, of course, after the Second Revolution, in fact, this tacit understanding gradually dissipated in the process of continuous exploration by both parties.

At this moment, the Minister of Internal Affairs is concurrently headed by the Minister of Education, Fan Yuanlian, and the Chief of Finance is Chen Jintao. people.Although Chen Jintao got on the ship of the Anhui Clique through Xu Shiying's bridge, he still couldn't become a direct descendant, and he had a fight with Yin Ruli, the former deputy chief of the Southern Party, because of corruption. Seeing the position of the Chief Financial Officer It will not be guaranteed.

Wang Geng walked into the Duan Mansion by familiar ways and went straight to the study. The old man just woke up from his lunch break. He was very happy to see Wang Geng, but he deliberately put on a face and said, "If you have something to do, just call. The Nanyuan area, and As for the Americans, how many important things are waiting for you to arrange for me, why do you come here all day to ask for peace?"

"Hey, Prime Minister, the conscience of heaven and earth, I have been doing business even sleeping these days, and I went to Nanyuan early this morning. Don't worry, the 60 teams of the Recruitment Office boarded the car from Fengtai yesterday afternoon and were scattered I estimated that within a week the first batch of labor and soldiers would be transported back to Fengtai. I have arranged for the engineer camp to repair the Nanyuan barracks day and night, and the military police have also taken to the streets to maintain order. The railway bureau has also sent people, so you can relax a hundred times, and you won't miss anything!" Wang Geng clapped his fingers to judge his merits and set it up!

"Don't play tricks, I heard that you took that girl from the Lu family and Erya to go shopping together the other afternoon?" The Prime Minister was obviously in a good mood, so he had the leisure to ask about it.

"Hey, you've heard about it... I'm not on my way. Besides, I haven't even gone shopping before returning to Beijing. The two ladies can be regarded as guides, but I haven't done much shopping. It's just around the front door. A few cloth shops in the silk and satin village ripped up some clothes! I don’t look at evil and don’t even dare to hold hands!” Wang Geng blushed and argued with a haha.

"You didn't even hold hands? That girl from the Lu family didn't let go of your hand all the way? Well, I don't care about these little things between the children, but I can go shopping with the two girls in the afternoon, and in the evening Went to Bada Hutong to drink flower wine?" Duan Qirui's expression darkened, and he said to scare Wang Geng.

"Entertainment, it's all entertainment! For the Prime Minister's career, I really went through fire and water with all my strength!" Wang Geng was shocked. He didn't expect that even the old Duan knew about it, but he was relieved when he thought about it. My son even sent Duan Tiezhu to watch the scene in Yixiangyuan. If this news had not been reported to Duan Qirui, Duan Tiezhu and Xia Shan who had been placed by his side would be guilty of dereliction of duty!

"You do it yourself! When you are young, don't put your mind on romantic affairs, let alone live up to the country's expectations of you!" Duan Qirui narrowed his eyes slightly, but his tone softened, obviously he did not dare to shirk his full confession to Wang Geng The attitude is quite acceptable.

"Prime Minister, I was just about to ask for instructions on this matter. To tell you the truth, some friends from the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China invited me to drink flower wine last night, but the wine was a bit fancy, but it was all right. Isn’t the Ministry of Finance always controlled by the southern party members, now, I saw the opportunity to win it over for you, what do you think?” Wang Geng didn’t dare to get too entangled in the matter of drinking flower wine and visiting kilns. , let’s get down to business.

"Chen Jin-tao, the chief financial officer, has long entrusted Xu Shiying to talk about favors, and he is counted as one of my own, so why do you need to intervene to find someone for me?" Duan Qirui's heart moved, but he asked calmly road.

"Hey, Prime Minister, don't make me happy. Although I have just returned to China, I also know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have always been private lands in the south. Chen Jin-tao was born in the Bank of China. When the government was established, it defected to Lao Sun!

This guy's ability is only mediocre, but his appetite for making money is not small. In my opinion, he is just a fool. And as soon as he voted for the prime minister, the Southern Party began to clean up his dirty materials. I think this guy with bad morals can't clean his ass. Well, the prime minister can't afford to keep him out of everyone's mouth! "Wang Geng said with a smile.

Duan Qirui is naturally well aware of Chen Jintao's mess. This guy is the same as Yin Ruli, the deputy finance minister. Because he abandoned the south and voted for himself, he attacked his deputy Yin Ruli for corruption, and was killed by Yin Ruli He abandoned his job and ran away, but this guy himself was caught by the press, and even a businessman who opened a copper factory stepped forward to correct the fact that the Chief Financial Officer extorted bribes and accepted bribes. Ruizheng was annoyed by it.

"Prime Minister, now is a good time to bring the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China together. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Yin Ruli, the former deputy minister, to abscond, let's arrange the deputy minister of finance with our own people first, and wait until Chen Jintao's matter can't be covered. Now, when the time comes, we will have to beat Ma Su with tears, throw Chen Jin-tao out to quell public anger, and then use the deputy chief to act as the chief, and the Ministry of Finance will be in his hands!" Wang Geng decided not to play tricks, Tell the old man directly about your plan.

"Youzheng also mentioned Chen Jin-tao to me two days ago. Seeing that the paper can't cover the fire, this guy must have accepted bribes for the application of the owner of the copper factory to open the factory. The most hateful thing is This guy actually asked the owner of the factory to write a letter, declaring that he had never taken bribes, isn’t it true that there is no 300 taels of silver here! Hateful! Damn! No brains at all! He deserves it!” Duan Qirui said, feeling angry, He clapped the armrest.

"Prime Minister, the big waves wash the sand, the sand gathers, and what remains is the essence. The smelly fish and rotten shrimps are just washed away by the tide! You don't have to be angry!" Wang Geng took out a cigar and lit it with a smile, while his mind was spinning , Xu Shuzheng also talked to the old man?Then he must have a backup candidate for the deputy chief or even the chief, which must be guarded against.

"Youzheng recommended a candidate for the deputy chief. Li Sihao, director of the Salt Affairs Bureau, is from Yuyao, Zhejiang. He was originally intended to be the deputy chief last year. Later, because he formed a cabinet with the South, Yin Ruli, a member of the Southern Party, was appointed as the deputy chief. "

The Prime Minister’s eyes are sharp. Apparently, Wang Geng said that he was trying to attract people from the Anhui Province. In fact, he is starting to build his own team, hoping to stand up to Xu Shuzheng. Indulge him a little or two, just throw a balloon at this moment and see how Wang Geng responds.

"Prime Minister, I also have a personal recommendation. Lu Ding, Director of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance, his daughter is Miss Duan's classmate and best friend. This person is good at managing money. He graduated from Waseda University in Japan and is Ito Hirobumi's proud student. Moreover, I have very good personal relationships with Feng Gengguang, Zhang Jiaao, and Song Hanzhang of the Bank of China, and I think he is more suitable than that Li Sihao!" Wang Geng expressed his thoughts bluntly.

"Lu Ding? He is also a talented person. This is difficult. The Li Sihao recommended by Youzheng has done a good job as the director of the Salt Affairs Bureau..." The Prime Minister made a face of being in trouble. .

"Prime Minister, everyone knows that the Bank of China is in the Ministry of Finance, just like the Bank of Communications is in the Ministry of Communications. Lu Ding is from Japan. He graduated from a famous school Waseda and is a disciple of Ito Hirobumi. Don't we have to let the Japanese Give us help and support?

Lu Ding is a thoughtful and reliable person. He came to my door because he felt that the Ministry of Communications and the Bank of Communications belonged to Xu Shuzheng's sphere of influence, and I was a newcomer who appeared in front of you, so he came through me. Prime Minister Shucheng, this is a great gift that comes to your door, we can't refuse people thousands of miles away! "Wang Geng almost put his arms around Lao Duan and yelled directly, "You gave me a chance to strengthen my team and cultivate a direct descendant!" "

"If you come to find an errand for Lu Ding just for this reason, I really can't agree! Youzheng has a very strong temper, and he won't give up easily on the people he likes!" The Prime Minister said, looking at Wang Geng meaningfully.

"Hey... old man... well, let me tell you the truth, besides the above-mentioned high-sounding reasons, I have other reasons for not being on stage!" Wang Geng gritted his teeth.

"Say it and listen!" Duan Qirui showed a smile, and said in his heart, everyone knows that I, Duan Qirui, is nepotism, but don't forget that to become the old man's confidant, being honest with the old man comes first.

"Whether it is a country, a political party, or a group, it is necessary to hear the voice of opposition. Even if everyone has the same general goal, there will still be differences in the specific path chosen and the implementation process. Differences will force us to do everything. One thing is considered more carefully and thoughtfully!

You made an exception to promote and appoint me. I am the new catfish in the pond, and I will definitely constrain Xu Shuzheng and other members of your deployment within the Anhui Department. I have nothing to hold back from you, but no matter how capable I am alone The Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China are a gift I have won for you, and they are also the team I want to build. Please understand, forgive and support me as always! "
