Chapter 627: One Singing and One Harmony

Since the two sides have identified the relationship of interests, Wang Yongan directly explained his requirements, of course, this is not the bottom line, Wang Yongan temporarily opened his mouth. Yuan Shikai naturally made a resolute decision, and after considering one or two things, he proposed that he could exchange 10 percent of the shares of the Bank of Communications, after all, the Bank of Communications is the central bank, and the China Industrial Bank is only a local commercial bank. The development of the China Industrial Bank is only a loophole in the Qing government's lack of formal banks, coupled with the backing of today's Four Nations Bank, but the local banks cannot be compared with the central bank. But the most embarrassing thing now is that the so-called Bank of Communications, as the central bank, is only a central bank stipulated by law, and both in terms of scale and capital, the Bank of Communications has completely lost to the Industrial Bank of China.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai's request was refuted by Wang Yongan one by one, especially since in the future, he was not responsible for the management of the Bank of Communications, and could not make a judgment on its deficit or profit, so the exchange ratio must be maintained at 49 percent. How could Yuan Shikai agree that the central bank had become Wang Yongan's private bank, and he had not defeated the Four Nations Bank on the front foot, and Wang Yongan had taken the back road by Wang Yongan?

Weng and his son-in-law argued for a long time on the issue of the proportion of the Bank of Communications, and the two bargained as if they were equals, and neither of them refused to suffer. The discussion lasted from morning to evening, both sides were hungry and tired, Yuan Shikai saw that he couldn't convince Wang Yongan, so he invited him to stay and have dinner together, and after dinner, the discussion continued, and Wang Yongan naturally accepted it gladly. For him, his own interests have been damaged, and the government must compensate him, and as for the scale of compensation, Wang Yongan needs to test his bottom line from Yuan Shikai's words.

What Wang Yongan never expected was that this dinner was actually a roast whole sheep, a whole one-and-a-half-year-old suckling sheep was killed and roasted first, and a Mongolian cook divided the fragrant roast sheep into two after roasting, and handed it to the two, Wang Yongan looked at the fourteen or fifteen catties of half a sheep being roasted golden and swaying, exuding fragrance, and couldn't help but have a big appetite, but these dozen catties of mutton were too fat, could he eat so much?

Wang Yongan raised his head, but saw Yuan Shikai drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, cutting off pieces of roast meat with a silver Mongolian razor in his hand, eating mutton with condiments, and said with a hearty smile: "If I were younger, I could eat a roast lamb of this kind." ”

Wang Yongan admired his father-in-law's appetite in his heart, but he knew that his father-in-law was sick, so he admonished: "Father-in-law, I advise you to eat less greasy food, greasy food is not good for your body, especially your current body." Have you forgotten what your German doctor told you? You should eat a few things now, especially if you can't drink alcohol. ”

"Listen to him, I'll be a monk!" Yuan Shikai shook his head with a smile and said loudly, "My old Yuan is so old, how can I settle for myself because I don't eat well?" People, life is not going well, if the food is not good, what is the meaning of this life? ”

Wang Yongan saw that he was stubborn and could not persuade again, so he could only smile slightly, and learned that he cut off the mutton and tasted it carefully, so that the taste of the meat was very tender, and the smell was always good, so it didn't hurt for people to eat a bite of mutton, but it was really difficult to eat half of the mutton. After eating a few bites of mutton and drinking a few glasses of wine with his father-in-law, Wang Yongan felt a little drunk, he knew that he was not good at drinking, if he let his father-in-law get drunk, it would be bad to give in the negotiation for a while, so Wang Yongan put down the wine glass and concentrated on eating the whole roasted sheep. It's just that this roast sheep tastes good, and after eating two catties, it's too greasy to eat.

He raised his head and saw Yuan Shikai, only to see that Yuan Shikai had already eliminated a whole roast leg of mutton, and the full four catties of meat made him eat it all in a big gulp, and he couldn't help but admire Yuan Shikai, who was born in the army, with this heroic momentum, any subordinate who followed him would feel the heroism of the boss, how could he not be willing to use it.

"Jingyun, what's wrong, eat." Yuan Shikai said suddenly.

"This ......" Wang Yongan was about to make an excuse that he couldn't eat, when he suddenly pushed the door and entered, and a cold wind blew in from outside, Yuan Shikai was displeased, and Wang Yongan saw that it was actually his brother-in-law Yuan Keding. Yuan Keding closed the door and said with a smile: "Father, brother-in-law, you are all here, it's too cold outside today." ”

"Big brother, come and sit, sit here." Wang Yongan hurriedly pulled him to his side.

A few days ago, Yuan Keding was reprimanded by Yuan Shikai for proposing to Yuan Shikai to establish a model regiment, and was ordered to be locked up at home to reflect on himself, which made many people secretly laugh. Yuan Keding was angry in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why he was reprimanded, so he had to go to visit.

Yuan Keding took the opportunity to complain to He Jie, and He Xie smiled: "The enemy who is the most troublesome for the president at the moment is your brother-in-law Wang Yongan, who has an army of 100,000 loyal to Wang Yongan, and the president has given him up again and again. Therefore, if Wang Yongan does not solve it for a day, the president will be uneasy for a day. At this time, you propose to create a model corps of officers loyal to you...... How can you not provoke the anger of the president? ”

Yuan Keding finally realized where the problem was, there was nothing wrong with the officer model regiment, the fault was that the model regiment should be loyal to Yuan Shikai instead of him Yuan Keding, who is now just the son of the president.

"So what should I do about this?" Yuan Keding asked.

He explained: "Admit your mistakes to the president, and then stay away from the central government for the time being, and do a little truth to show the president your ability." ”

"Facts?"

"Yes, actually." He Xie said with a smile, "I heard that Zhang Xun is trying his best to rent the merger of Kaiping Coal Mine and Luanzhou Coal Mine in Luanzhou, if the two merge to form Kailuan Coal Mine, it will be a great achievement." So the students thought, why don't you go and pick the peaches and enjoy the results? ”

"But how can Zhang Xun let it?"

"The third division of Jiangbei left, Jiangbei was empty for a while, and now Bai Lang launched a riot in Henan to sweep through northern Henan, and it is very likely to invade Jianghuai, you can suggest that Zhang Xun lead troops to guard Huaibei."

"Is Zhang Xun willing to go to Huaibei?" Yuan Keding was skeptical.

He Xie sneered: "He can't ask for it, the eldest prince, let's see how I go to Luanzhou to persuade him." ”

After the two discussed for a long time, He Xie went to Luanzhou to find Zhang Xun, and persuaded Zhang Xun to be the emperor of Huaibei with his incorruptible tongue, and stayed away from the central government at ease. Zhang Xun, who had a very hard life under Yuan Shikai's nose, was not difficult to be convinced, and his idea was very simple, just live a small life with a high sky and a distant emperor. Under He Jie's analysis, Zhang Xun did not hesitate to ask Yuan Shikai for war, hoping to lead troops into Huaibei to guard against the Bailang bandits, promising that he could gradually eliminate Wang Yongan's influence in the Jianghuai region for the central government.
