Beiyang 1917

Wang Geng did it all in one go, revealing Lao Duan's original intention of appointing him and his role, as well as his plan to win over the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China to form a team.

After hearing this, Duan Qirui groaned and did not speak, thinking how to persuade Xu Shuzheng to give up the fight against the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China.

The old Duan thought about what Wang Geng said was right. The side effect of Xu Shuzheng’s dominance in the Anhui Department is that he is self-centered. Being too arrogant is never a good way to control his subordinates. Wang Geng’s positioning of himself in the Anhui Department is obviously in line with Lao Duan’s wishes. You It's just a catfish. If it develops well in the future, it will be the second Xu Shuzheng. As long as you know how to advance and retreat, with you and Xu Shuzheng as two right-hand men who constrain each other and must cooperate, you will have the opportunity to realize your desire to unify China as soon as possible!

"Prime Minister! Are you worried about Lu Ding and the others? These few are much better than Chen Jin-tao in all aspects of conduct, and you don't have to worry about whether they will be fools in the future. I told them Now, as long as they are united under the banner of the Prime Minister, there are plenty of places where they can use their abilities...I...I drank too much last night, and I even made a deal with these guys. Prime Minister, you can't trust them, Can't you still trust me!" Wang Geng showed his cards!

"Have you already asked for help? You also pay attention to this when you come back from studying abroad in West Point? The efficiency is not low, and yes, do as the Romans do! You have said so much, and you are nothing more than building your own team for the country and me, right? If I don't support you right now, are you going to leave me alone?" Duan Qirui stared into Wang Geng's eyes and said seriously.

"Prime Minister, there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for doubting people. Since I have voted for you to fight for my ideals, my sworn brothers will naturally follow the Prime Minister's lead. Of course, I do not deny that the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China will cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Communications in the future. The banks have formed a competitive relationship, but that is a healthy competition, no matter how capable Xu Shuzheng is, he is the prime minister's subordinate after all, if he has all the military, government, financial and personnel affairs in his hands, it will not be his own blessing, nor the Anhui Department's blessing!"

Wang Geng said something, and he didn't hide it. Even if he said this in front of Xu Shuzheng, this guy dared to say it right. How about a gentleman who is magnanimous? In Wang Geng's mind, he is right One's own people engage in conspiracy, and they only engage in conspiracy against the enemy. At this moment, Xu Shuzheng will never be classified as the enemy by him.

"There is no way to solve the problem of Beijing banknotes. Those brothers from the Bank of China you have handed over, and Lu Ding, the director of the Taxation Department, are really so capable? That's good! The Ministry of Finance The position of deputy chief can be given to Lu, but you have to guarantee for them that the problem of reorganizing Beijing banknotes will be resolved within one year! Do you dare to accept this military order?"

Although the Prime Minister had long decided to accept Wang Geng's recommendation for this personnel arrangement, he didn't want him to feel that the matter was too easy, so he imposed such harsh conditions on the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China!

Wang Geng was crying in his heart, Nima, Zhang Jiaao spent five years in his previous life, taking advantage of the opportunity of China becoming a victorious country after the end of the First World War, especially on the basis of the five-year deferred payment of the boxer indemnity, the funds raised through the issuance of public bonds were only recovered With the banknotes deposited by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications outside, now the old Duan actually wants to solve this shit by himself in a year!

"What? No way? No way, replace Xu Shuzheng's people as soon as possible!" Duan Qirui was obviously trying to provoke him!

"Prime Minister, since you said that, I have nothing to bargain with, but the Bank of Communications issued banknotes, but the Ministry of Communications and the Bank of Communications can figure out their own way. I can promise on behalf of the Ministry of Finance and Bank of China that if the government and the cabinet Support, solve the recycling and sorting of all old banknotes issued by the Bank of China within one year!" Wang Geng said that he would not bargain, and finally picked out the banknotes of the Bank of Communications in advance!

"You bastard! The Ministry of Finance is in charge of the country's financial revenue and expenditure, good! Let them figure out the matter of the Bank of Communications. This matter is settled? I want to see how big you and your brothers are. Capable! As long as I can support you in the matter of sorting out the banknotes in Beijing, I won’t hold you back! You don’t have to worry about Xu Shuzheng, since I’ve agreed to you, I’ll convince him myself!”

Duan Qirui squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Geng in front of him, as if he saw Xu Shuzheng back then, the same youth, the same style, but the difference was that Wang Geng seemed to be more open-minded and straightforward, and when he got along with each other, he was very friendly. There is no need to guess what the other party is thinking, unlike You Zheng, who is too extreme when he is extreme, and sometimes has a strong literati atmosphere.

"It's a deal! Just keep an eye on it! But when will Lu Ding's position be announced this time?" Wang Geng smiled happily, but he didn't forget to finalize Lu Ding's errand again.

"Look at your urgency, just these few days, I'll say hello to Youzheng and Chen Jintao later, first let him act as the deputy secretary of the Ministry of Finance as the director of the Department of Taxation, and then find a chance to become a regular, wait Changing Chen Jin-tao as the chief, and letting him act as the deputy chief, as long as he can do well in terms of performance, the position of chief will naturally be his!" Duan Qirui was also unambiguous!

"Okay! Then, Prime Minister, you have a lot of work to do every day, so I won't waste your time. Japanese Minister Lin Quanzhu invited me to drink tea in Dongjiaomin Lane this afternoon. Do you have anything to tell me?" Wang Geng got up and planned to leave. He also reported his whereabouts. Anyway, as long as Xia Shan and Duan Tiezhu are by his side for a day, his movements cannot be hidden from Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng.

"Lin Quanzhu? This man has a gentle appearance and has been in China for more than 20 years. I think his Chinese is more authentic than Japanese, so there is nothing to worry about. Although you are only the foreign ministry's negotiating supervisor with the United States, you are still mine. As for the National Policy Advisor, if you have the ability, you can use him as much as possible, and it would be the best if you can squeeze out more loans and aid! I think the Japanese government may have given him the authorization, and he is here to test your bottom line! You Guy, just don’t get hit by sugar-coated bullets! Go!” Duan Qirui waved his hand and dismissed Wang Geng casually!

Wang Geng implemented Lu Ding's matter in front of Lao Duan, and he was in a great mood. Obviously, Lao Duan was well aware of how he would win over and form his own team, and he was optimistic about it. Lao Duan has to do it by himself. If everything is accommodated to the deputy chief of the army, then he will not be able to do anything. This round is considered a small victory for me!

Lin Quanzhu was born in 1860. His self-name is Zhuyin, and he was born in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. He was a late bloomer. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University at the age of 28 and was admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the same year, he was a student consul at the Japanese Consulate in Qingdao, China In addition to serving as the Minister to North Korea from 1899 to 1906, this guy stayed in China for 24 years and served as the Minister to China twice. During the Reform Movement of 1898, Kang Liang was the one who rescued the exiled Japanese However, Emperor Guangxu's ability to save his life was also the result of his persuading the great powers to put pressure on Cixi.

"Supervisor Wang, thank you for your invitation. It is a great honor to come here!" Wang Geng, who rushed to the Sakura House not far from the Japanese embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane, was warmly and thoughtfully led into the elegant room in the backyard by his mother Sang. Chinese Minister Lin Quanzhu, dressed in exquisite kimono, respectfully greeted Wang Geng at the door of the elegant room.

"Oh! Minister Lin, you are in a good place. The garden bridge and flowing water are elegant, and it is a beautiful spring season, and my mother is so young and beautiful! I will come to bother you often in the future!" Wang Geng said beside him. The mother who led the way, Sang, grabbed a hand from the back of the kimono, and the disturbed mother named Hezi screamed, blushing and turned around as if she was about to hit Wang Geng but couldn't do it. Both Wang Geng and Lin Quanzhu laughed.

It is said that you do as the Romans do. This Sakura House is a typical Japanese-style luxury izakaya. Before entering the backyard, Wang Geng changed into straw slippers. It is hard to say how diligent the Japanese are in cleaning. Mother Sang Xuebai’s socks walked in the courtyard. The section of the road in the middle corridor is clean and not stained with dust.

When it comes to drinking tea, Wang Geng is impatient with the 57-year-old Lin Quanzhu, who looks like he is in his early forties, tossing about tea ceremony stuff, Nima, how many oceans are waiting for me every minute, how many women are there in Yixiangyuan and at home Waiting for me to go to the pain, then I have the time to play tea ceremony with you.

Lin Quanzhu had no choice but to ask someone to take away the tea set. While slandering in his heart, where are the bumpkins from the Wuxi countryside? He clapped his hands and called the geisha. One red and one white young geisha played, one sang and performed, and the other two The two maids snuggled up to Wang Geng's side to accompany the wine.

Nima, Wang Geng, who had been suppressed for a long time by Yixiangyuan, is obviously immune to the little devil's sugar-coated shells, which is a bit worrying!
