These days, Mrs. Yuxiu and some of her family members have taken the train to leave Jingshi and go back to Yangzhou, Yuxiu feels that the sooner you go, the better, and it will be harder to go again when your belly is bigger in the future, maybe you have lived in Yangzhou for a long time, and everything feels inconvenient in Beijing. In particular, the Yangzhou Military Hospital is not too far from Wuthering Heights, and the hospital has a gynecology department that is not available in other hospitals in China at this time, and the gynecologists and nurses are all women, while the gynecologists in the foreign hospitals in Beijing are actually yellow-haired and blue-eyed men. Yu Xiu would rather die than let the gringos examine her, so she left the capital and headed south on the third day after Wang Yongan returned safely.

As soon as Yuxiu left, the house seemed very deserted, and a family must not be without a hostess, of course, it is not good to have more hostesses.

Wang Yongan asked Liu Tong to prepare a table of Jiangbei hometown dishes and soju for him and Zhang Jian, Liu Tong asked the kitchen to prepare six dishes and serve them, and then sat aside, Wang Yongan asked him to sit together to eat, Liu Tong only ate and did not drink, listening to the two talking.

Wang Yongan poured a full glass and raised his glass, Zhang Jian also raised his glass and just clinked glasses, Wang Yongan drank it all, Zhang Jianxin said Why did you drink so fast. Wang Yongan quickly poured another full glass, and then toasted together, Zhang Jian smiled bitterly: "Jingyun, why are you so hard?" If you don't want to, you don't have to hand it over, so why regret it? ”

Wang Yongan sighed: "I don't regret it, I'm just unwilling." I will inevitably be restrained by handing over the remaining shares of the China Industrial Bank to Yuan Shikai, but I have to hand them over to him, after all, I am a Chinese and cannot help foreigners control the right to issue currency in our country. But I'm not reconciled, I'm really unwilling! But if I am replaced by Yuan Shikai, I am afraid that I will not have the courage to hand over a southwest to a political opponent and give him the shares of the central bank. ”

Zhang Jian said with emotion: "But if Yuan Shikai calculates you accurately and controls your patriotism, he will be the traitor of the ages." I guess he's also betting, he's betting that you won't really help the Four Nations Bank, that you're going to be the big president in the end. If you hand over the handle to the banks of the four countries now, you will hardly be able to take back the right to issue currency when you become president in the future, and China will really not be a country, but no Chinese will ever do that. ”

Wang Yongan drank it all again, shook his head and said: "Maybe he won the bet, but I, Wang Yongan, have exhausted all my organs, but I still fell into his trap, unwilling, unwilling." ”

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly: "He calculated you, who made you his son-in-law, how many people in the whole China can have his wisdom, he knows that you will inevitably hand over the shares of the Industrial Bank of China to the central government, so he can bargain with you, if you insist on not paying the shares and cooperating with the Bank of the Four Nations?" He must be powerless. ”

"But I've really become a traitor." Wang Yongan laughed, raised his glass and drank with Zhang Jian, and then said: "Zhang Gong, if you were me, what would you do?" ”

Zhang Jian was about to pour wine, Liu Tong on the side hurriedly filled the wine glasses of the two, Zhang Jian said: "I am not you, I don't need to bear the heavy responsibility of supporting 100,000 troops, let alone support the bureaucrats of the Jiangbei department." ”

Wang Yongan suddenly raised his head and said, "I don't understand what Zhang Gong means. ”

Zhang Jian said: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." ”

"Hahaha......" Wang Yongan laughed, and the later movie Spider-Man has a sentence similar to it, how much ability and responsibility. If Wang Yongan wants to get everything, he has to endure the hardships in the process, and he has to sacrifice more. He knew that if he resolutely did not hand over the shares of the Industrial Bank of China to the central government, although Yuan Shikai had no way to deal with himself, his reputation would become synonymous with traitors like Wu Sangui, and even the Jiangbei faction would fall apart because of his own selfishness.

Thinking of this, Wang Yongan couldn't help but shudder, fortunately he made a concession and didn't catch anyone, but this concession was too costly......

Zhang Jian said: "Drink, Jingyun." ”

"Gong Zhang, do this." Wang Yongan said with a smile.

Sending Zhang Jian away, Wang Yongan asked Liu Tong to move a chair and put it in the yard, Liu Tong hurriedly said that it was snowing heavily, in case it was cold and handsome, Wang Yongan insisted that he move the Taishi chair to the yard, lay on the Taishi chair and look at the sky, the snow is not heavy tonight, and the moon appears and disappears from time to time.

Today's choice may have changed his life, but in the face of the country, the nation and personal interests, Wang Yongan still chose the country and the nation after all. He knew that as a butterfly that changed history, he had made history go off the rails, and if this deviation was for the better, it would be a good thing, but what if it was for the worse? However, if a country and a nation want to rejuvenate, it must go through a lot of hardships, and the reason why China in later generations has such a strong patriotic heart is precisely because it has experienced the tempering of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Civil War, various movements, etc., that it has a strong patriotism and cohesion, and will build a country in just 30 years, and the GDP will rise from a dozen to the second in the world. If the Great Qing Dynasty is still a peaceful and prosperous era without foreign invasion, I am afraid that the Great Qing Dynasty will continue for hundreds of years, and the Chinese will still live in a muddy life.

Wang Yongan's choice was certainly a great favor to Yuan Shikai, but it also defended the country, he had a clear conscience at this point, and even when he was old in the future, even if he did a lot of wrong things, he firmly believed that he did not make a mistake in the choice of this matter.

Of course, Wang Yongan chose this because he earned $50 million from the Four Nations Bank, and the value of $50 million in 1912 was equivalent to $3 billion in 2017. With this capital, Wang Yongan is not afraid of offending the Four Nations Bank, and they never dare to offend themselves, a big depositor. But there is always some insecurity in the 50 million US dollars in the China Industrial Bank, and he must find a way to reflect the transfer of property, thinking of this, he has to trouble Yu Qiaqing again.

The cold wind blew, Wang Yongan shivered, Liu Tong stood aside, worried that Wang Yongan was suffering from the cold, and hurriedly persuaded: "Dashuai, let's go back to the house, the temperature outside has dropped again." ”

Wang Yongan asked rhetorically: "Xiangtian, the road to the southwest is bumpy, and the future is uncertain, why are you willing to go with me?" ”

Liu Tong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You always need some people around you to help you deal with chores, if it is others, I am worried that they have ulterior motives." Dashuai, you promoted me from Muye to today's Liu Xiangtian, so that I have today's achievements, how can I forget my roots. ”

Wang Yongan was very moved, and said: "After working hard in Xiangtian, if you go to the southwest in the future, you will have another important use, but you must be prepared to work harder." ”

"Thank you, big handsome." Liu Tong is not a child anymore, so he naturally understands that Wang Yongan is hinting that he is going to be promoted, and his heart suddenly becomes excited.
