An Zhiyuan looked at his brother-in-law, who had changed greatly in a suit and leather shoes, and asked with some uncertainty:

"Brother-in-law? ~~~ Is Pengxiang you? ”

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Don't even recognize me? ”

The second master is very helpless, is there something wrong with this cheap brother-in-law's eyes? Isn't it just a change of gear! Did I pass through and change the appearance of the original owner? I'm a soul wearer, okay!

But what the second master didn't know was that because of the reason he drank the space energy water, his body had been repaired and rebuilt in an all-round way from the inside out. There has indeed been a slight change in appearance, but people who meet often can't notice it.

An Zhiyuan, who didn't meet often, discovered this, some changes in his brother-in-law who he had always looked down on. It felt both familiar and strange to him.

"Oh! It's really Pengxiang! Sit in the fast house. You became, almost unrecognized. ”

"Huh! Uncle, you don't take me seriously! ”

The second master knew very well in his heart that this cheap brother-in-law was a high-ranking government official at a young age, so he had never looked down on his peers in his relatives, let alone the anointed son of his predecessor who walked his horse and walked his dog.

After the two sat down separately with their own thoughts, they looked at each other again.

"Listen to Jiayi~ My uncle is in a hurry to find me?"

"It's urgent! Something has changed about what you're trying to do. Now there are two people competing with you for the position of governor of Xinjiang. ”

"Oh! Those two? ”

The second master is a little confused? The information of later generations shows that there is no one else except Yang Zengxin who cares about the rights of Xinjiang in the near future! Why is there another one?

"One is Yang Zengxin, and the other is Jin Shuren."

Jin Shuren? The second master suddenly understood. Jin Shuren is Yang Zengxin's successor. But that was after 1928? Could it be that Jin Shuren is now peeking into Xinjiang?

During the Republic of China, Xinjiang served as three governors, namely Yang Zengxin; Jin Shuren; Sheng Shicai.

The political situation in Xinjiang is also divided into three stages, namely:

(1) Yang Zengxin encouraged the border people to separate from the central government of the Central Plains and raise tigers for the suffering period;

(2) The chaotic hatred period of Jin Shuren's incompetence. Because of his brutal persecution of the border nationalities, the border people deepened their hatred of the central government.

(3) Sheng Shicai's collusion with foreign enemies, independence, and the lure of wolves into the room.

All in all, none of the three Xinjiang chiefs appointed by the government of the Republic of China are "good birds"! They are all national sinners who deserve to be killed.

Therefore, it is impossible for the second master to let these three people on the historical stage of Xinjiang again.

"Uncle! So be it! In the afternoon, you ask our middleman out, and I will talk to him personally. ”

The second master wants to quickly cut through the mess and solve the matter of entering Xinjiang as soon as possible, otherwise it will change later. Entering Xinjiang by force is the last resort. To be able to enter Xinjiang justifiably, we must try to be justifiable.

He has no political qualifications, and he does not have any political and network advantages compared to his two competitors. But the second master also understands that his biggest advantage is that he is rich. And now how many officials of the Beiyang government do not recognize money?

So the second master made up his mind to spend money at all costs.

"Brother-in-law! It's not appropriate for you to meet the intermediary in person, right? ”

An Zhiyuan is also a key person who understands the relationship and now wants 2 million oceans. So he was a little hesitant, after all, he would have to mix in the government in the future! In this way, it is directly connected with the operator, where does it put others?

The second master also understands what this cheap brother-in-law is hesitating about. Straight Says:

"Uncle! Rest assured! The remuneration of other people is 20,000 oceans per person, and one counts as one! As for you, we are relatives, and it is impossible for me to treat my daughter-in-law's family badly, na~~~ No matter whether things work out or not, this is your reward! ”

As he spoke, the second master casually took out a piece of gold from his briefcase, which could brighten An Zhiyuan's eyes, "Bang!" It was placed on the table between the two of them.

"Brother-in-law! Did you really make a fortune? ”

An Zhiyuan's eyes lit up and he stroked the bright gold brick with his hand, and his usual sophistication and steadiness as a young government official had long since disappeared without a trace.

At this time, his greedy face of the small citizen who was mercenary was undoubtedly exposed in front of the glittering gold bricks.

"Uncle! Uncle! I can do what I'm talking about, right? ”

"Yes! OK! I will post a post to invite people to the Changhuai Spring Tea House on the first floor of the "Shoushan First Floor". You go there and book a private room and wait. ”

An Zhiyuan happily agreed, and quickly made arrangements. But his eyes never took off the big gold bricks on the table.

"That's right! Uncle, you haven't said what the other party's identity is! ”

The second master is very curious, who is this "big man" who can influence the appointment of the overseers of a province?

"Brother-in-law! Don't worry! Definitely someone who can talk. It's the president's second son, you get the idea! ”

The second son of the president? ~~~ One of the four princes of the Republic of China! The second master suddenly understood and knew who the so-called "second son of the president" was!

====

The second master drove the car and came to the entertainment and commercial area in the Dashilar area of old Beijing.

During the Republic of China, the four famous shopping malls in the capital, except for Dong'an Market in Wangfujing, the other three were all in the southwest area outside the front gate, which is today's Dashilan area.

Quanyechang is built in Langfang Toutiao (its front door is in Langfang Toutiao, and the back door is along the West River); Qingyun Pavilion was built on Guanyin Temple Street (now Dashilan West Street, its front door is in Guanyin Temple Street, and the back door is in Yangmeizhu Xiejie).

So where is the "first floor of Shoushan"? In fact, it is not far away, it is in the south of Langfang Toutiao Road, opposite to the front gate (south gate) of Quanyechang, which is now restored. The difference is that the front door of the Quanyechang was opposite to the back door of the "first floor of the first goodness", and the front door of the "first floor of the first floor of the first goodness" was opened in the second section of the corridor.

At that time, the "First Floor of Shoushan" was one of the most famous shopping malls in old Beijing that was second to none in Beijing, integrating entertainment, dining and shopping.

The newspapers of the time described it as "the first floor of Shoushan":

"The first floor of Shoushan is in the headline alley of Zhengyangmen Outer Corridor. The building has three floors, eight rooms in the north and south, five rooms in the east and west, and a total of 78 rooms in the whole building. The south of the upper floor is the Yufang photo studio, the north is the Changhuaichun teahouse, and the southwest is the ball room. The south of the middle floor is the Zhongxing Jade Barber Shop, the north is the Biyanxuan Tea House, if the east is the west, then in addition to the electroplating lacquer tea shop, the rate is the room for inlaid teeth and eyes. The lower floor is a miscellaneous display of goods, colorful and dazzling...... The upper teahouse is always full. ”

It can be seen that the lively and prosperous scene at that time.

The second master came to the third floor of the "first floor" and found the "Changhuaichun Tea House". Although the predecessor often came here, the second master who wore it was not familiar with this place! So I found Dr. Tea, chartered a private room with better privacy, and told Dr. Tea that there would be a guest who was looking for Zhang Erye to come over directly.

The second master waited until three o'clock in the afternoon before he saw Dr. Tea leading his eldest brother and a young man into the box. He hurriedly stood up.

"Your guests are coming, and you are not welcome! Forgiveness! Forgiveness! ”

The second master was polite in his mouth, looking at this young guest, and thought to himself~ He is worthy of being one of the four princes of the Republic of China. The literary quality is polite and talented.

"Second Master Zhang is polite! Your name is like a thunderbolt! I want to see the 'true face of Lushan' early in the morning! Today I finally got my wish. ”

"You're lifted! Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! ”

"That's it! I don't think I need to introduce it anymore. The two of you sit down and have a good talk, and I won't accompany you. Leave! ”

The eldest brother withdrew very wisely. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, the second master was no longer pretending to be polite, it was originally a money transaction, and he pretended to be a "big-tailed wolf" in a polite manner!

"Second son! Ming people don't say secret words, I want to take the military and political power in Xinjiang, how much silver do I need? ”

The second master went straight to the point.

"Hehe, the second master is very direct! How? Didn't your uncle tell you the price beforehand? ”

This second son, still has a calm tone, and he looks like he is hanging from above!

The temper of the second master when he was a soldier turned out, and he can't get used to these "second generation officials" in modern times, let alone the four princes of the Republic of China! Who do I care you are? Lao Tzu spends money, you do things. Achievement, not achievement, one shot and two scattered, where are there so many false sets!

"Second son! Now that there are no outsiders, then you and I will simply do it! This is a $5 million cashier's note from Citibank. Within 10 days, if you can help me appoint the two powers in Xinjiang, you will take it! ”

When the second master came to this era, he has always used money to oppress people, and what can be done with money has never been dragged with mud and water. Now he has taken out another 5 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the current financial resources of 25 million oceans, to tempt this famous son of the Republic of China.

Because the second master knows that this second son has this ability, and from the information of later generations, this is the heart of today's president.

And the second master also knows that the current president is also short of money, so the money is not all for the second son, or all for him, and he doesn't dare to take it! That's a lot of money, it's hot!

It's just a political donation from the second master to the president through his hands. Everyone tacitly understands that this second son also understands.

So he didn't say anything, picked up the cashier's note, turned around and left. The second master also watched all this without saying a word. Both of them have a tacit understanding and have no communication. At their level, there is no need for too much negotiation and mutual testing, everything is laid out nakedly.

Seeing that the other party took the money, the second master breathed a sigh of relief! That's all right!

How can the second master rest assured that he will pay now? Isn't he afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty? Hehe, do you think this is a small deal? ~~~ This grade of "power and money trading" is an earth-shattering "big scandal" no matter what era it is!

It is not uncommon for it to burst out of energy to subvert a government!

Therefore, the second master is not worried at all that he will lose his wife and lose his soldiers by "chicken and egg". Since the other party dares to take the money, it means that he is sure to do it!

Sure enough, money can make grinding ghosts. Seven days later, the second master received a letter of appointment signed by the president of the Beiyang government.

But now the second master doesn't know that his money offensive has been a huge success!

At this time, he was driving a Ford car, wandering in the ancient streets and alleys of old Beijing~~~ with the mentality of a tourist in later generations, admiring the market of old Beijing, which is rare for later generations, and immersed in this ancient charm ~~~
