In order to save time, Wang Yongan had already prepared a working meal, two white flour steamed buns, a bowl of sorghum rice, a bowl of vegetable soup, a fried shredded potatoes and a braised pork. This kind of working meal is the first time in the eyes of many people, and Wang Yongan also promised that those who work in the government department in the future will have lunch in the work organization, and provide free lunch (only for himself, not for his family), which immediately won the enthusiastic support of the participants. What everyone cared about was not the lunch, but the strong support for the Jiangbei military government and the firm belief in reform behind the lunch, and everyone believed that Wang Yongan would definitely become a great leader in the future, even though he was only 24 years old this year. (Tomorrow after the Chinese New Year, he will be 25 years old)

After a brief lunch, everyone continued to discuss government affairs, and the biggest question now is the question of where the ministers and directors of the government will work in the future -- where is the yamen, so that everyone will not work from home, right?

Although there are many government agencies and a shortage of personnel, and their functions still need to be improved, they have jointly decided to concentrate all departments in the Jiangbei Military Government, and the office will be centralized and more efficient. There are four places in Yangzhou City that can be used as the yamen of the Jiangbei Military Government, namely the Yamen of the Salt Affairs Envoy, the Yamen of Yangzhou Mansion, the Yamen of the Jiangbei Patrol Envoy and the Yamen of the Jiangbei Protector Army.

After careful consideration and discussion, the yamen of the Jiangbei Protector's Mansion will become the office building of the Ministry of War in the future, the yamen of Yangzhou Mansion will be rebuilt into the office building of the Yangzhou Government, the Yamen of the Salt Affairs Department will be rebuilt into the contract office building of the Salt Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, and the Statistics Bureau, and the yamen will be expanded into the office building of the Jiangbei Governor's Office, and the rest of the ministries will work in the Governor's Mansion.

At that moment, some people suggested that Wang Yongtai should take up an important official position in the Jiangbei Military Government, but Wang Yongan rejected it with a smile, he declared that Wang Yongtai was originally concerned about the revolution and the establishment of New China, and now that the revolution in the south was successful, and the Central Plains and Jianghuai were recovered, his wish was to understand, Wang Yongtai was willing to retire to the countryside after becoming famous, and no longer cared about politics.

Everyone was puzzled at first, and then began to discuss, everyone speculated about Wang Yongtai's personnel arrangements in advance, and they all thought that Wang Yongan would definitely hand over the most important position in Jiangbei to his brother Wang Yongtai, but they never expected that Wang Yongtai would be sent to the wilderness. Everyone speculated that Wang Yongan secretly forced Wang Yongtai to go into the wilderness, and Wang Yongtai should be loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so in order to avoid fratricide, Wang Yongtai went abroad - this wronged Wang Yongan, Wang Yongtai's body was really sick.

When Li Shuwen was leaving, he was invited to his brother's house by Wang Yongan, Li Shuwen looked at Wang Yongtai's body and said: "Although the kung fu you got can't kill the enemy fatally, it can strengthen the body and prolong life." In the future, plant some flowers and plants, raise some flowers, birds, fish and insects, don't worry about anything, and don't work hard, you will definitely be able to live past the age of 50. ”

The Wang family was overjoyed, and Wang Yongan said goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law and his wives, and everyone went south by boat, and then took a special passenger ferry of China Shipping Group to St. Lucas.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Jian "finally" arrived in Yangzhou, and when he was still apologizing to everyone for being late after entering the auditorium, he was stunned by everyone's warm applause.

"Congratulations to Governor Zhang, congratulations to Governor Zhang." Everyone stepped forward to compliment.

The second monk Zhang Jian was confused, his face was foggy, and he saw his friend Gu Yanqing coming over, and said with a smile: "Brother Ji, everyone in Jiangbei has already recommended Brother Ji to be the governor of Jiangbei, you are now the governor of Jiangbei, and you are not the first to take the seat?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Jian was dizzy for a while, of course, not angry, but the surprise was too big, making it difficult for him to parry. Originally, in Zhang Jian's heart, this time Jiangbei Guangfu himself was at most a vassal, but he never expected that he would become one of the core figures of Jiangbei Guangfu, he glanced at Wang Yongan, who stood up and applauded and smiled at him on the rostrum, and couldn't help but walk over.

Wang Yongan gave up his position in the middle, stood aside and said, "Governor, please take a seat." ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Jian asked.

Wang Yongan said: "I proposed that you be the governor of the capital, which was supported by all the gentry officials of Jiangbei, and passed a vote, and now you are the governor of Jiangbei." ”

Zhang Jian blushed and said: "How can the old man He De entrust this important task, and ask the marshal to invite Gao Ming......

Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "Metropolitan Governor, now I am only the army commander, and I am just a cadre under you, if the metropolitan governor resigns and does not do it, how can we talk about the recovery of Jiangbei?" ”

"This ...... This...... This ......" Zhang Jian was excited, but he was humble again and again, of course, Chinese's humility is also a meaning, the ancient Zen let have to say three words, everyone gave each other face, highlighting the humility of the Chinese. However, Zhang Jian "had to" take over the burden and sit in the middle of the rostrum, with Wang Yongan on the left and Chen Zhaotang, the deputy governor on the right.

Wang Yongan said with a smile: "Governor, this is Jiangbei's restoration of electricity, please take a look." ”

Zhang Jian took the telegram manuscript, nodded after reading it carefully, and said, "Good, send it as it is." ”

Wang Yongan said with a smile: "Isn't the governor afraid that Yuan Shikai will lead the army south to conquer in person?" ”

Zhang Jian smiled and said: "You are not afraid of your father-in-law, how can I be afraid of your father-in-law?" He is your father-in-law, not my father-in-law, and the matter of the war will be handed over to you, and I am a civilian official, and I do not participate in the affairs of the military department. If you win, count your skills, if you lose, it means that you can't beat your father-in-law, no wonder me. ”

"Hahaha......" The people on the rostrum laughed, this old man and young man bickering was extremely interesting, and the internal personnel of the Jiangbei Military Government were obviously much more harmonious than those of the Nanjing Revolutionary Government.

"Power on! Calling to the nation! The Jiangbei region was recovered, and it was no longer subordinate to the Great Qing Dynasty from then on. Zhang Jian shouted loudly as he waved the telegram.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, a letter from Yangzhou, Jiangbei "Zijian telegraph" shook the whole of China and even the world: "The Qing court is decaying, mediocre, and has no ability to govern the whole country, the thousand-year-old civilization of the Celestial Empire is vast, the Qing court is incompetent, and our generation will seek for the rise of China, and our 30 million people and 260,000 soldiers in Jiangbei will jointly decide Jiangbei to recover, and hereby announce to the world, Zhang Jian, the governor of Jiangbei." ”
