Chapter 76: Xiucai and Bing
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "I wonder if Shibo has ever watched a football game?" The pitch was full of players running, but the focus of the conversation fell on the player who shot the goal. No matter how much Yang Huizi did, Shibo only needed to kick the ball into the field at the door. It's all so big, and Yang Du is still there to cover up. Shibo might as well tell the world clearly, if you want people to send people, you want money to pay, anyway, the methods that can promote the imperial system have been done, and President Yuan Da will not be able to remember you when the time comes. ”
Zhu Qichao, Lei Zhenchun, Jiang Chaozong, Zhou Ziqi, Yuan Naikuan, Zhu Jiabao, Lu Jianzhang, Gu Ao and other uncles all wanted to form a national petition federation under the leadership of Shibo. With Shibo's influence, the petition group that gathers celebrities and dignitaries across the country can't compare to the influence of Yang Du's group of talents? When the time comes, whoever will contribute the most can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. ”
Liang Shiyi is also a first-class person in the world, and after a little thought, it became clear: "Zhang Zuolin has pulled up a large network of forces, this is to let Zhang Hanqing throw himself into the door, and let himself use huge financial resources, even if he uses money to smash it, he will smash it out of the field." He is very confident, because this is his strength, and he accepts Zhang Zuolin's kindness with joy. For the young man in front of him, he suddenly had a very close feeling: "Speaking of which, I should also be close to your father, but the road is far away, and there is no leisure for a while. Since he has done so many things behind the scenes, Shibo can't be resigned to being behind. He will meet one day, and he will definitely be with him. Then he suddenly remembered something: "What is the second thing Han Qing said?" ”
This old fox, in addition to being proud, does not forget the name of "profit" and "five-way God of Wealth", which is not an exaggeration.
After untying the knot, there is a good breakthrough in the matter of "profit". Zhang Hanqing also said the idea of building coal mines and iron mines in Fengtian, and Liang Shiyi knew that this was the autumn wind.
Well played though. As long as there are resources----, recruit some people and buy some equipment, you can always make money, so that you can not only have a tacit understanding with Zhang Zuolin, but also set up a factory under his protection to build a mine, and everyone can make money, happy? As for whether Zhang Zuolin will have an outside heart and annex this industry, Liang Shiyi does not want to ---- there is no such precedent in the Republic of China. And as a local official, if Zhang Zuolin wants to make a voice or gain attention in the center, he will not miss his own mouth no matter what.
The unexpected joy is that Liang Shiyi not only agreed to invest in the "China Merchants Bureau" in Fengtian, but also paid out of his own pocket to set up the Wutong Navigation Company, sailing on the Songhua River and Heilongjiang River and handling fisheries, and also built several wharves in the upper reaches of several tributaries in Fengtian Province, which can be regarded as Zhang Zuolin---- he has always thought it was Zhang Zuolin's idea---- so he reciprocate the peach.
Guests and hosts have fun. Liang Shiyi sent Zhang Hanqing out of the Yimen for the first time, which is a rare special appearance, and ordinary ministerial-level officials of the Republic of China have not received this treatment. People who know the news are very interested in Zhang Hanqing, a young man: The military circles praise him, why do the political circles also care about him so much? What the hell is this guy coming from?
Sending Zhang Hanqing away, Liang Shiyi decisively and immediately convened a meeting of the cadres of the Department of Transportation to discuss the crisis faced by the Department of Transportation. At the meeting, Liang Shiyi proposed: "At present, the dilemma of the transportation department, only by supporting the imperial system can the participation be cancelled; If you don't approve of the imperial system, the consequences may be unimaginable."
The cadres and generals have a lot of discussions, and they are inconsistent. Liang Shiyi listened impatiently next to him, and he simply said: "It's shameless to be in favor of the imperial system, and don't want to be in favor of it." Whether you want a head or a face, you can do it yourself. ”
At the meeting, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally unanimously agreed: "Be shameless!" ”
After that, Liang Shiyi and others decided to "be shameless", and then launched an organization of citizens' petition groups, whose members were not only members of the transportation department, but also Zhang Zhenfang, Na Yantu, Liang Hongzhi, Ruan Zhongshu, Xia Shoutian, and other celebrities in the political circles, and publicly elected Shen Yunpei as the president, preparing to launch a petition.
Ruan Zhongshu visited his old friend Duan Zhigui after he returned to Beijing, and under Ruan Zhongshu's guidance, Duan Zhigui hit it off with the citizens' petition group and decided that Duan Zhigui would come forward to invite Zhu Qichao, Lei Zhenchun, Jiang Chaozong, Zhou Ziqi, Yuan Naikuan, Zhu Jiabao, Zhang Zuolin, Lu Jianzhang, Gu Ao and other powerful figures to form a national petition federation. As a result, the imperial faction of the petition meeting was greatly boosted for a while, and the backbone of the meeting was nicknamed "Thirteen Taibao". Zhang Zuolin, as one of the initiators, although he was not classified as one of the 13 Taibao, became an early political stain.
Under the secret operation of Liang Shiyi, Duan Zhigui and others, officials from all over the country were also invited to send "citizens" to represent the "public opinion" (of course, the cost was fully covered by the Department of Transportation); Subsequently, these people bought some newspapers and preached the imperial system every day under the guise of public opinion, making it the same as the real thing...... As long as there is real money, there is no fear of any false public opinion!
The All-China Federation of Petitions is powerful, rich and powerful, and of course it is not comparable to the "six gentlemen" who play with the pen, and the performance of handing over the petition at the entrance of the Senate is actually a masterpiece planned by the "Seven Murderers". This time, the petitioners are divided into business petitions, academic petitions, provincial petitions, women's petitions, and so on. The transportation department is throwing money everywhere, and this momentum can be small!
Yang Du saw that Liang Shiyi and others came from behind and snatched the limelight from him, and couldn't help but say sadly: "Liang Caishen, Liang Caishen, you are really good, you are rich and powerful, I can't get you, but don't be rampant, let's see!" He never knew that the mastermind behind the scenes who had yin against him was Xiao Zhang Liugongzi, who he couldn't look down on. (Zhang Hanqing: Who told this guy not to open his eyes, he has to provoke me?) )
But the talents are shy in their pockets, and a mere 200,000 yuan can't do anything big after all, and in the end, they just organize some beggars and prostitutes petition groups that the God of Wealth looks down on, and talk about their voices. Under the pressure of the petition committee, the Preparatory Security Committee soon became a thing of the past, and finally ended up in a situation where no one cared about it. Yang Du was annoyed and ashamed, so he had to take off the signboard of the "Preparatory Security Association" and put it out with a sign of "Constitutional Political Consultative Conference", but after all, it was a new bottle of old wine, and he couldn't make any new tricks.
Helplessly, the flowers fell, and it was hard to make wedding clothes for others. As a result, the six gentlemen also gave up the stage, and the task of petitioning for restructuring was changed to Liang Shiyi, the National Petition Federation with sufficient funds and talents.
One wants to keep the talent Sven, and the other doesn't know what shame is; The former has a passion, and the latter has a strong strength. Under such a confrontation, Yang Du has a chance of winning?
Even Yang Du's teacher, Wang Minyun, criticized Yang Du's autocracy and the practice of "boiling voting", saying, "There are many slanders, and those who know the sage are not afraid." However, there is no need to doubt yourself. It makes no sense to change autocracy and still follow the will of the people. ”
