Chapter 56: Righteousness

They talked with great interest, and Miss Zhu San was not happy. This Zhang Hanqing is a guest I invited, you can't hold it on, right? Where do you stars surround him like the moon? She was dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing and said, "Hanqing, the dishes are cold, don't come over quickly!" ”

The celebrities in the social field are probably used to being self-centered, and they didn't expect this person to appear just because of one of her pranks. Although Gu Weijun talked speculatively with Zhang Hanqing, he couldn't bear to complain about the beauty, the so-called eye-catching person is like this, he pointed at Zhu Songyun and smiled to Zhang Hanqing.

If it's another man, Miss Zhu San has a life, then she can't run over? But who is Zhang Hanqing, so that he will not be led by the nose by a woman, especially when he is finally able to show what he has learned in front of the cattle of the Republic of China, which is the first refreshing thing since the crossing. What three young ladies and four young ladies, all go to the side! He waved his hand casually: "You eat first, I have something to talk about with Brother Shaochuan." ”

Miss Zhu San is probably the first time she has met such a faceless man, but the more this happens, the more her interest is aroused. has always been surrounded by bees and butterflies, and it has always been her protagonist's aura, without exception. Zhang Hanqing's casual command made her feel very rare, and it aroused her fighting spirit---- what's wrong with being young? My sister is all-inclusive!

However, as a well-educated lady, Zhu Songyun didn't speak again, she was thinking about what to do next.

Zhang Hanqing had the opportunity to show his "talent" in economics and politics, and of course confided in Gu Weijun bit by bit. He has made "reasonable" judgments and predictions on the current world situation and the development of the post-war world pattern, and he also has a detailed plan for how China can get rid of its current position.

All this surprised Gu Weijun. Regardless of the fact that the future situation has not been confirmed, it is worthy of admiration and deep friendship to think about such a huge topic and have an almost impeccable theory from this point of view, with Zhang Hanqing's vision of the northeast and the age when the milk smell has not dried up.

Gu Weijun, who has always thought that he is already a leader in the younger generation and is often self-conscious, now has a rare heart to put away his original greetings. "This son will be a great thing!" He thought. With his knowledge in the British and American diplomatic circles, he was very unoptimistic about Yuan Shikai's attempt to become emperor, so he was very concerned about the political trend in the post-Yuan era. Zhang Hanqing has such insight, and his father is the most powerful general in Fengtian, so it is really unpredictable what the outcome will be in the future.

With the mentality of "burning the cold stove", Gu Weijun decided to use his fame to add firewood to Zhang Hanqing. He praised Zhang Hanqing to the people around him in a slightly exaggerated but sincere tone, saying: "Giving birth to a son should be like Hanqing!" I originally thought that Han Qing could be praised by Jiang and Cai, two military giants, but it was just a work of his reward and backwardness, but now I know that Han Qing's knowledge is far above my generation! In time, my brother's achievements should be beyond my reach! If Han Qing doesn't give up, I am willing to marry Jin Lan with you and be a righteous brother. ”

With his identity and his background, he was originally quite unimpressed with this kind of charlatanism, he was educated in the Western style. But in order to cater to Zhang Hanqing, who was born in a bandit family, he decided to go out and use the favorite way of martial artists at that time to pre-set with Xiao Zhang. Of course, in this era, the boat of friendship is overturned, and this relationship is not to be trusted, but it is not something he has to consider. After being cultivated in Beiyang political circles for a long time, his obsession with power has made him a real politician---- which is the best evaluation of his use of personal ability to achieve political benefits.

At the beginning of his career, he resolutely abandoned Entong's original fiancée---- it was the latter's father's insight that gave him the ability to return from studying across the sea and settle in the center, and devoted himself to the disciple of Tang Shaoyi, the first premier of the Republic of China, because Tang Baoyue, the daughter of Premier Tang, fell in love with him.

Men are loyal because the stakes for betrayal are too low. Although he abandoned his wife because he was unwilling to be bound by his "not very generous" fiancée, the private life of the great diplomat in modern history was not grand.

However, when Tang Shaoyi did not meet Yuan Shikai's intentions and left Beijing for Shanghai and firmly opposed Lao Yuan's claim to be emperor, although Lao Yuan still had an appreciative attitude towards him as a young talent, he knew the disadvantages of an unstable foundation. Therefore, in order to add more reinforcements, he was able to resolutely bow to Zhang Hanqing, who was twelve years younger than him.

That's enough to surprise people. Because in the eyes of the contemporaries, he, a rising star in the diplomatic world, was far more favored than the kid from the Northeast, but he deigned to take the initiative to offer to worship the young man who was a lot younger than him!

So everyone was really "shocked".

Zhang Hanqing didn't expect Gu Weijun to be so "discerning". For the alliance brothers, he has always been cold-toothed: didn't his father worship Feng Delin at the next table twice? You're about to fight to the death! In the face of absolute interests, everything is a scum! Brothers can still be on the wall, let alone alliance brothers!

However, if you see through it, you won't say it, at least for now, having a brotherly relationship with the celebrity in front of you is only good and not bad: as long as he really cares, there is an opportunity to bring in some investment from the United States, and in the future political chess, the role of the United States in the Feng system is also huge. Besides, Gu Weijun himself is also a rare talent in China's diplomatic circles, and he has a good relationship in advance, and he will naturally use it when he is in charge of the country in the future---- Feng Department can enter Beijing in history without his help, and now with his efforts, the situation will only be better. The so-called planning for a rainy day is exactly that.

He immediately hit the snake with the stick and made a surprise gesture: "This is exactly what Xueliang can't help but rejoice!" It is a blessing for the younger brother to be able to get the teachings of the eldest brother at any time. ”

Zhu Qichao praised Gao Zhang Hanqing, which was originally just an emergency work, but now when it shines, even the famous Gu Weijun takes the initiative to fold and hand it over, and he has to worship the handle, so he really cares. The sedan chair carried people, and in front of Gu Weijun's face, he also had to show his demeanor as a master. What's more, he is really optimistic about Zhang Hanqing now, how can it not be the icing on the cake? After all, it was he who first discerned the pearls, and he even admired his genius in placing Zhang Hanqing in the main position---- he really unintentionally inserted willows into the shade!

"Both of them are young talents, and they married Jin Lan at the birthday party of their old beloved daughter, and they are old and honored. Under the witness of everyone, you are allies with a cup of wine, and you are brothers with different surnames. Everyone is not pedantic people, you don't need to pay attention to those clichés, as long as you have affection in your heart. ”

The reason why I said this is that it happened suddenly, and this traditional routine of killing chickens for the alliance could not be fully performed, after all, it was at the birthday party, and the big rooster was not prepared. Besides, with the identities of the two of them, there is no need to change the paste and stab the blood of those children of the rivers and lakes.

Sure enough, both of them agreed, but Zhang Hanqing poured a glass of wine and said to Gu Weijun: "After drinking this glass of wine, you will be my eldest brother, and from now on you will rely on each other, take care of each other, and rest until death." Originally, he wanted to say such sour words as "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year", but when he thought about it, he was many years younger than Gu Weijun, so this kind of unlucky words would be avoided.

However, this sentence made Gu Weijun very fond of it, and he proposed to settle the knot, which inevitably had no speculative heart. However, Zhang Hanqing quietly agreed with him on a "mutual assistance" agreement, which is equivalent to catering to his desire to add more help in the political arena in the future.

The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses and wiped them out.

Since they have become brothers, and when they are drunk, they are much closer to each other. Zhang Hanqing told the ambitions in his chest, of course, it was limited to the economic plan of revitalizing the Northeast. Although he started his family and after several months of careful consideration, he did not aim too far, but based on reality, step by step.

For example, to upgrade the industrial plan, Zhang Hanqing did not make a tall project all at once, but seized the advantage of the abundant energy resources in Northeast China, starting with the development of steel and coal, which are the most basic industrial resources. In his plan, he gradually established a large-scale coal and iron company, and then used this as an opportunity to gradually penetrate into the marginal industries.

With iron ore, you have to smelt it, right? This boosts coke mining. With these proven technologies, there is a chance for metal exploration to develop and more metals to be found. Out of steel, you have to roll steel and iron, right? You have to turn it into a variety of needs, right? This requires a wide variety of machine tools. When the production and technology are mature, it will be a matter of course to do something in depth.

There are a lot of things needed here, and there are two main ones, one is technology, and the other is capital. And the United States, which ranks first in industry, has both.

The United States ranked first in the world in steel production and pig iron production in 1886 and 1890, respectively, and maintained this for more than 80 years in history. Economically, in 1894, that is, the 20th year of Guangxu of China's Qing Dynasty, the GDP of the United States surpassed that of the United Kingdom, and in 1905, it also surpassed the United Kingdom in per capita GDP, and by 1910, the United States became the world's largest in terms of overall national strength.

Although it has not surpassed the British Empire, which is the world's largest in military affairs, Zhang Hanqing's understanding that this important moment will come soon. As World War I entered a watershed moment, it was a matter of minutes for the United States to replace the shattered Britain. If China wants to hug its thighs, the United States is the best choice.

So when Zhang Hanqing once again mentioned that through Gu Weijun's mouth, he extended a hand of cooperation to major American consortia, and he would be familiar with it even if it was not good, Gu Weijun nodded and expressed his full support. Originally, with China's current status, it could only brush up its sense of existence in diplomacy, and if he wanted to do much, with his cognition, he did not have much hope.

But it is still feasible to make a difference economically, because American politics is, at worst, a kind of plutocratic politics. Among the two major political parties that influence or determine American politics, the Dish Party belongs to the Morgan family, and the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family. Although they are politically opposed, they have one aspect in common, and that is to make money.

No one is at odds with money, and the two major political parties backed by capital are no exception...

Therefore, Gu Weijun said to him with a smile: "There is a good opportunity to get to know the Rockefeller family in front of me, originally they asked me, but I am in a hurry to take office." I guess with your connections in Beijing, this matter is not too difficult. If it can be done, it will not only be a good opportunity to get to know each other, but also an opportunity to benefit China, and I will take you to know them after the meal. ”

Is this a gift package?
