Chapter 465: When will I show my hand again?

Huanshang Village is named after the village, there is no village, it was originally a villa of the salt merchant He, and now it is given to Yuan Weiting to live. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and even Yangshouyuan are also built in Huanshang Village, the so-called village, which is just the residence of the Yuan family.

Although Yuan Weiting was vacant, he did not hand over the words of strict supervision by the magistrate, and his authority did not fall, and he had King Qing, Naqin Xuan, Zhao Guanhou and the military officers of various towns in Beiyang as Olympic aid, and the local government still respected him. As the parents of a province, the governor of the feudal department should hand over the notebook to meet him, and transfer officers and soldiers to protect the safety, so as to show the importance of the former military minister.

This house was built with a large sum of silver, and Shandong repaid 500,000 silver, and it was built very wide. Referring to the ideas of many Taixi people, the entire Yuan Mansion was built as if it were a huge Taixi Castle. There are tall walls on all sides, and in the walls, there are watchtowers of different styles in China and the West.

Yangshou Garden is a garden built in the village, which transplants countless exotic flowers and plants from China and abroad, even in this winter season, there are still a lot of flowers and plants to see. And on a watchtower, a young man, with binoculars in his hand, leaned against the window and looked down.

His attendant waited carefully in the back and reminded: "Third master, pay attention, it's cold, don't freeze." Don't lean out, watch out for falls. ”

The peep turned around and glared at the servant viciously, "You fucking don't let it be quiet, I'm afraid I won't hear it, what's the matter?" ”

The servant was scolded, but he smiled and said, "Third master, the key is that it's too cold, don't freeze." That woman is indeed beautiful, if you really like her, just to see what it means, you must not think of a way......"

He has always given advice to the third son of the Yuan family, and he has done a lot of things to thread the needle, and he has also won a lot of bounties. But this time, he obviously said the wrong thing, and as soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Sangongzi, who had always regarded him as a think tank, suddenly changed his face, and a slap fell on the servant's face.

"Bastard! This woman can also be remembered? It's good to take a look, she is a man, you provoke it, or I provoke it! When the time comes, be careful, you don't even know how to die! Get out of here, don't let me see you for the next two days, or I'll break your legs! ”

When the servant saw that he was really annoyed, he kowtowed, ran downstairs, stumbled under his feet, followed all the way, and rolled down the stairs. Yuan Sangongzi didn't have the heart to care about this person, so he returned to the window, set up the binoculars, looked down with relish, and muttered "beautiful" while watching...... It's beautiful! ”

The northwest wind blew on his face, and the flesh was blown painfully, but the man gritted his teeth and insisted, praying in his heart, "Don't go, stay a little longer, don't go......"

In the garden, a man and a woman did not notice the greedy gaze shot from a small building, and still walked in the longevity garden, enjoying the flowers and trees in the garden. The woman's head rests on the man's shoulder, and the man's hand rests around the woman's waist.

The man was dressed in a furry leather robe, covered with a Wolong bag and horse coat, and a large-brimmed warm hat on his head, the brim of which was a sable with a ruler length and a width of three or four inches.

The woman beside him wore a gray-backed coat with a waist and a belt; The lower body is black flannel pants, and on the feet is a pair of low-top riding boots, and the waist sword is also equipped with a Western thin sword. From the perspective of Yuan Sangongzi, you can see her white and flawless melon seed face, eyebrows like daisies, beautiful eyes like stars, with this dress, she looks like a heroic and sassy Western-style beauty.

Even if she has read countless people, she has never seen such a beautiful and foreign-style woman, since she arrived in Huanshang Village, Yuan Sangongzi has been full of her in his dreams at night. He is a famous Huahua Tai Sui of the Yuan family, and he has done soft and hard work on women, and he has also made a few troubles about his life. It's the first time I've seen a beauty like this, and if you don't want to be tempted, then no one will believe it. However, looking at the man next to her, the third prince was like being poured cold water on his head, and he didn't dare to do anything.

Zhao Guanhou is not only the best friend of the current Yuan family, but also the godbrother of the eldest wife. And the eldest lady takes power at home, even Yuan Weiting, the head of the family, is obedient to the eldest wife. If there is a conflict between the two, the eldest lady must help her brother and not help her cheap son. I heard that Zhao Guanhou could cut half of his own fingers and cut other people's parts for the sake of women, so he would not hesitate. The third prince didn't want to be unloaded by the other party for the sake of a beauty, so he had to ...... Let's get over it.

In the garden, Zhao Guanhou smiled at the woman beside him: "You are here, the entire Yuan family is much more lively than in the past. Outside the house, I don't know how many people secretly look at you, I think of a word, look at the killing guard. ”

As a party, Chen Lenghe did not feel shy about this kind of onlookers, but said very generously: "People are meant to be watched, what are you afraid of?" If you're so shy, how can you go to socialize, you can't use a piece of cloth to cover your face, right? ”

Her face is not very good-looking, and she seems to be angry about spending the New Year here, "I used to read the newspaper in Albiang, saying that Yuan Rong'an is a rare strongman in China, and I really thought he was an unborn hero." As a result, he is nothing more than a good bureaucrat. Such a person is not worthy of my respect. Feudal, old-fashioned, these things are still haunting him. I don't see any progress in his words and deeds, and I don't see any bright hope in this mansion full of decay. ”

Chen Lenghe looked at the small attics again, and did not notice that one of the windows was open at this time, "Henan is suffering from natural disasters, and the people are starving." On the way here, I met girls who had to sell themselves in order to survive. There are also parents who sell their children, and husbands who sell their wives in exchange for hope to live. As an influential person, Yuan Weiting lives in a mansion, but he never thinks about saving people, this kind of indifference disappoints me too much. ”

"Well, my eldest lady, Rong An is now vacant, and he is overly concerned about local affairs, and people will say that he has a bad heart. If you are not in his position, you don't seek his own government, you don't care about this matter, and don't tell him. I'll go back and say to the governor of Henan, donate some money, even if it's dedicated, okay? ”

Chen Lenghe was frustrated, "You always have a lot of crooked reasoning, no wonder my mother said that if I don't want to talk to you, I must know that you have too many crooked reasoning." Let's go, accompany Miss Ben to the county town, when I'm in a bad mood, I want to buy something, you accompany me to Anyang, I want to buy some rice, and find a gentry to cooperate with the relief. ”

"As you wish, my wife."

Zhao Guanhou walked out and glanced back at the small building where Yuan Liangyun, the third son of Yuan, was located. It seemed to be an unintentional glance, but when Zhao Guanhou's face appeared in the telescope, Yuan Liangyun clearly saw it, and he smiled at himself.

Maybe it was an illusion, Yuan Liangyun always felt that in an instant, he seemed to see a hideous-looking evil ghost, but then disappeared. His hand was already frozen and stiff, and at this time, coupled with fear, his hand shook, and the telescope fell downstairs from his hand. By the time the servant returned the telescope, it had broken to pieces.

Yuan Liangyun, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, was a little pale, sitting on a chair, gasping violently. Looking at the broken telescope, I can always think of some very scary images, muttering "scary, so scary......"

In the evening, when it was time to eat, Chen Lenghe was still in the outhouse, sitting in the men's seat with Mrs. Jensen. Su Hanzhi and Feng Zhi accompanied Shen Jinying to dinner in the inner house. Jensen is a foreigner, but he is not taboo about the difference between men and women, and Chen Lenghe also sits in the men's seat, which makes the other people at the same table a little uncomfortable.

In addition to Zhao Guanhou at this table, it is Yuan Weiting and Liang Shiyi, the God of Wealth. Xu Juren and Yuan Weiting are sworn brothers, and it is said that they should come to the New Year, but there are too many official affairs in Beijing, so they can't get out.

Although Liang Shiyi studied abroad, she still couldn't accept this kind of foreign girl style, and she said very little. Chen Lenghe knew his name, and when it came to his views on Dajin's economy, he only listened to it and rarely spoke.

"Now Daikin's economy is on the verge of bankruptcy, and it is not a way to survive by borrowing foreign debts. In my opinion, it is necessary to let the secretary of the Du branch resign, replace a talented Shangshu, replace a group of experts as advisers, and reorganize the economy, so that the country can have hope. For example, the nationalization of railway shares is a good purpose, but in terms of specific operation, it is really bad. Doing so will harm the interests of private capital, and in the future, there will be big problems. ”

Liang Shiyi was almost hit by an arrow in the Songjiang stock market crash this time, thanks to Zhao Guanhou who rescued the city, borrowed money for emergencies, and kept his position, which can be regarded as owing a favor. Now he has to serve as the assistant manager of the Daikin Railway Administration, and the railway affairs have a lot to do with him. Seeing that he didn't speak, just laughed, Yuan Weiting said: "You have to say a few words, one of the daughters of the family has spoken, why, our God of Wealth has nothing to say?" ”

"No...... No, it's because I'm thinking about how to answer. Liang Shiyi smiled awkwardly, "Financial rectification is a very complicated work, and it is not clear in a few words. Moreover, it involves political, economic, and even military aspects, and is not a problem that can be solved by one or two people. As for the replacement of Shangshu...... This is unlikely, and the crown should know. ”

Mrs. Jenson smiled, "Leng He, you have made a mistake by thinking only about the economy and ignoring integrity. Zegong is the eldest brother-in-law of the Queen Mother, and he is considered a confidant by the Queen Mother, so he is the secretary of the branch in order to grasp the economic lifeline, how can he be removed from his position? ”

Chen Lenghe snorted, "The corruption of Dajin lies in this, cronyism, not meritocracy, the monarch **** can only bear such evil results." ”

Zhao Guanhou coughed, and Yuan Weiting smiled: "It's okay, I'm an idle waster, and it's not an exaggeration to complain a few words at home." But when it comes to economics, it's the specialty of the three of them, Guanhou, and the two of us don't spoil their nature. Let's go, accompany me to the study, I have some good things for you. ”

When the two of them came to the study, Yuan Weiting said: "Guanhou, your peach blossom luck is very good, but if you are not careful, it is easy to become a peach blossom robbery." This aunt's wife is too reckless, it is good to have something, but if she is arrogant, she will invite trouble. ”

"I'm still young, and when I'm older, I'll be fine. She has a good ability to do things, as for being a person, she has to hone it, but fortunately, Jenson has her with her, which is more convenient than others. For example, this clan fund, I am ready to hand it over to her to help run it. ”

Yuan Weiting nodded, "Make the best use of people and make the best use of things, this is the means for the superiors, you can dispatch it." What she said just now is very true, the railway, you can't do it like this. Sichuan people are bloody, and they take back the right of way in vain and do not give subsidies, which cannot be said anywhere. Although they said that they lost money by investing it themselves, reasoning with 70 million people is the biggest unreasonableness. Sheng Bulou is not a foolish person, he arranged it like this, he deliberately forced the tiger to jump into the stream, and wanted to do things in Sichuan. ”

Zhao Guanhou thought for a while, "The official newspaper said that the Sichuan-Han Railway was supervised, and it was Tao Zhai?" ”

Duanfang Duantao Zhai is Yuan Weiting's son and daughter, although he is a banner man, he is actually Yuan Weiting's close comrade-in-arms. Sheng Xingsun first deliberately forcibly took back the right of way of the Sichuan-Han Railway, and then handed over the task of supervision to the dismissed Duanfang, which appeared to be a promotion, but in fact it was still digging a pit.

Yuan Weiting nodded and said: "He originally guaranteed you to do this errand, but you escaped, so he changed to protect Tao Zhai, and the left and right are people who can't do without me." He remembered my old enmity of taking away his post and railway power, and deliberately cut off my arm. I sent a letter to Tao Zhai, telling him to find a way to push away this errand and not to roast himself on the fire. But...... Not necessarily. ”

"What, Tao Zhai's livelihood is difficult? Not really. He let go of the governor, or in a good place such as Huguang, how could he get a large sum of silver, even if he didn't go out in the future, his livelihood would not be embarrassed. ”

Yuan Weiting shook his head and said: "It's not a problem of money, it's still his own problem, he wants to do something to come out and let people take a look, there are also talents in the banner." In the past year, the public opinion on the people's newspaper has been higher and higher, and people have decided that their uncles are all relying on the shadow of their ancestors to eat, and they have no talent. Tao Zhai was a little angry, and felt that he should come out and earn face for the flag man. Anyway, he is a talented man, if he can really make some achievements, he can also gag other people's mouths. He may not care much about the position of superintendent of the Sichuan-Han Railway, but if he can build the Sichuan-Han Railway, which no one can say can be built, this credit is enough to make the reputation of the banner man overwhelm the Han people, which is also the biggest reason why he came out. ”

"Tao Gong is too, he didn't think about the problem enough, not to mention the difficult route of the Sichuan-Han Railway, how to build it. Just saying that he has no money and no one now, isn't it in vain when he takes office? ”

Yuan Weiting said: "Who said it wasn't? Zhao Erfeng acted very unruly in Chengdu, arrested the people of the Baolu Comrades Association, and ordered the squad to shoot, killing several Sichuan gentry. The gentry in Sichuan, many of them have force in their hands, on the one hand, they go to Beijing to complain, on the other hand, most of them have to use force to confront, Zhao Erfeng's days are not a few days. As soon as he goes, the governor of Sichuan is in the air, and Tao Zhai must seek a governor of Sichuan to do it. When the time comes, the railway will be built, and the civilians will be changed, who will dare to say that the flag people are talentless. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "He has no soldiers and no money, and it is not easy for civilians to change." If he enters Sichuan, most of the troops he brings are the new army of the eighth town, but those soldiers are ...... It's hard to say. I hope he won't be confused and kill himself. ”

Yuan Weiting sneered twice, "Guanhou, your heart is kind, but who should your kindness be used for." Although Tao Zhai is my children's family, when it comes to relationships, they are not as good as the two of us. If you lead troops, I will definitely stop you, as for him...... I had no choice but to do my best and resign myself to the fate of God. It's also a good thing to make a fuss in the eighth town, let the court know what the difference between Beiyang and Nanyang is, and you can understand that not only one person can lead troops in the world. ”

His gaze turned to the window, "I single-handedly built the six towns of Beiyang, and the soldiers and generals are all my painstaking efforts." But now, you are the only one who can come to see me and accompany me for the New Year. Others may not be disloyal to me, but they have to worry about the opinion of the court, for fear of bringing trouble to themselves. This is not wrong, but compared to it, there is always a difference between superior and inferior. I'll tell you the truth. In today's world, with faithfulness as armor and etiquette as the trunk, it is no longer possible, if you want to settle down, report to the country, and protect one side, the only way to rely is on armor. And the most important thing in armor is obedience! If you can pull it out, but you can't pull it out, can your soldiers be obedient? ”

"Brother-in-law, rest assured, my soldiers promise to be obedient, not only to me, but also to my brother-in-law. When you ascend and shout, the brothers have absolutely no second words, and they will do whatever they are asked to do. ”

"Let them do whatever they want?" The corners of Yuan Weiting's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, "If this is the case, it will really be in vain for my hard work." When you go back after the Chinese New Year, the first thing you do is to do a good job of training. A good knife must be sharpened fast enough. When the world is peaceful, we must hold the pen in our hands, and the pen can calm the world; But in troubled times, we must hold the knife tightly in our hands, and the knife can determine the world! When I joined the Qing Army, I used the official photo of my nephew, because of the marching method on behalf of Wu Shuai, I beheaded seven chaotic troops, and was jealous of my colleagues. Later, when the impostor was revealed, my colleague sent me a limerick poem, and I still remember the words. This is a fake show talent in Zhongzhou, and there is no need to guess if you borrow a book, and now you can use your hand to kill the first seven people. Today I'm going to change this poem and give it to you."

Yuan Weiting came to the desk as he spoke, and with the paper on the table, he splashed ink, and the Seven Absolute Masters were readily available.

"Born in Zhongzhou fake showman, who can guess who is in charge. Today, we will show our hands again to reverse the situation! (To be continued.) )
