Chapter subtitle: Plot Acceleration ......

"Let's do it here!"

Our Master Yuan is also a good child who grew up eating crispy noodles, and he does things simply. However, before the two Germans could speak, another Seris immediately spoke up and said, "Hongchuan, this is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Yuan Yan said nonchalantly in Chinese: "Uncle Luo Shi, what's wrong with this, isn't it just to be a Junker?" ”

Luo Jiaxiang first confessed to the two Germans and said, "Your Excellency the Earl, Mr. Stauffenberg, I'm very sorry, we are sorry. ”

"Please, two of you."

Then he dragged Master Yuan out of the side hall and into a secluded office.

After he closed the door, he immediately said: "Hongji, this is a matter of your future, you must not be so negligent." ”

When Yuan Yanqian heard this, he couldn't help but humbly ask: "Uncle Shi, what does this knighthood have to do with my future?" ”

"Of course it matters......

Who is Luo Jiaxiang, the first secretary? He is a native of Tianjin.

Moreover, their Luo family is still the descendant of the Hunan army led by Zuo Zongtang, and they are also a member of the officials and businessmen who are attached to the Beiyang system.

What is Tianjin? True - the lair of the Beiyang warlords, the place where the bigwigs became public servants after they went into the wilderness.

Although the warlords north of Wusongkou on the Yangtze River were all called Beiyang warlords at that time, there were only two branches in Beiyang, which were rooted in the red roots, the direct line and the Anhui line.

Where did the Beiyang warlords come from? In 1895, President Yuan Da trained in Tianjin Station.

In fact, the small station training is an extremely important historical event in the modern history of Seris, and its significance is the same as that of the later Sanwan adaptation.

President Yuan Da assigned Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and others who graduated from Tianjin Wubei Academy to serve as the general office or commander of each department; Cao Kun, Lu Yongxiang, Wang Zhanyuan, Duan Zhigui, Li Chun and others were appointed as sentry officers of each battalion; and appointed old friends Xu Shichang, Ren Xiushen, and Tang Shaoyi to handle copywriting.

Just look at the names of these people to know how important this new army is that the small station has trained its troops.

Based on the Prussian military system, the training of troops at small stations has drawn up a set of plans for building the army with the organizational structure of the modern army, the system for appointing and training officers, the training and education system, the recruitment system, and the food and salary system. In other words, most of the influential figures on the table of the Beijing government today are ...... Sticks.

Well, in fact, almost all the military powerhouses in the world these days are sticks. Because there is a good saying, for other countries, it is the country that has an army; In the case of Prussia, it was the army that owned a state.

Luo Jiaxiang, who was born in Beiyang, is of course clear about this, so he said earnestly: "Hongchuan, although Liang Yuan is not the hometown of long-term love. You can't stay in Citigroup all the time. When you return home, this title of Junker Knight will be enough to make you rise to the top. So this thing must be done lively, lively, and beautiful......"

What a step, what a cloud.

Yuan Yanqian rolled her eyes in her heart. As a traverser, of course he knew that these people in Beiyang would have nothing to show in the future. Besides, even if he enters the Beijing government, what will he do? A Ph.D. in economics like him in the United States is nothing more than finance and diplomacy, and the Ministry of Education can be added to these three paths. This has nothing to do with his life plan as the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, this is indeed a good intention, so Master Yuan pondered the words and said, "Uncle Shi's meaning is understood. But not long after the war in Europe. The little nephew accepted the award of Wilhelm II so magnificently, I am afraid that the outside world will be violent......"

At this point, his heart moved.

Well, that's a bit wrong. Why is Uncle Luo Shi so concerned about my future?

He glanced at Luo Jiaxiang and understood.

Oh, I got it. In addition to my future, he cares about his own future. Now that the consul in New York has returned to China to report on his work, it stands to reason that when the head of the embassy is absent, the counsellor is usually temporarily acting as the chargé d'affaires a.i. However, probably because of the relationship between the Zhiwan War, the post of counselor of the consulate in New York is still vacant, so this first-class secretary has taken the lead.

Uncle Luo Shi wants to make some big news, so that he can make some political achievements for himself and go one step further.

Thinking of this, Master Yuan already had an idea in his heart, and he changed his words and said, "Uncle Shi, I think it's better to do this......

His idea is very simple, the award will be done today, but the sword ceremony can be carried out with great fanfare.

"What do you think, Mr. Earl?"

Mr. Scharnhorst exchanged words with his aide-de-camp, then turned and said, "So be it." However, I have important business and am about to return to China, so it is better to let Mr. Stauffenberg preside over the sword presentation ceremony. ”

It seems that this old guy did not want to play this game of house wine with the Chinese, but he was not willing to refuse directly, so he threw the pot to his young adjutant.

Yuan Yan agreed: "Thank you so much for your understanding, Mr. Earl." So let's get started......"

"So...... Should I call you Neo von-Yuan now? ”

"Yuri, don't be kidding. Without...... I really don't want to be this knight. ”

Grand Knight Yuan rubbed his right knee, which was a little sore, and said with a wry smile. The freshly baked Junker Knight didn't even eat and slipped out the back door.

"Alright, Lord Knight, shall we go home now or find a place to eat?"

"Well, let me think about it...... We're going to Chinatown now. ”

They drove to Anliang Hall and found the fifth brother of Hongqi and his wife, the fourth sister of Jin Feng.

"Brother Hongjixian, it's all thanks to you that the business of the hall is so prosperous these days."

"Yes, second master. We sisters miss you very much, do you want to ......?"

"Fifth brother and fourth sister, don't." Our Master Yuan shook his head like a rattle and said, "I'm here to talk about business today, let's leave it for later." ”

"It's okay, since Brother Hong has said so, then let's talk about business first!"

"Second master, this is the account book of Baisui Mountain."

"Brother Xian, this is the income and expenditure details of "Biqu Pavilion"."

Yuan Yanqian flipped through the account books of these two undertakings and nodded with satisfaction. How to say it, even if you just look at the account books of Baisui Mountain and "Biqu Pavilion", the labor costs on it are too high. To say that there is no cat in it, he must not believe it.

However, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. And his ambition is not to make money, so if he can have an income of one or two thousand dollars, then just turn a blind eye.
