Chapter 319: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs
Jensen first hung up the phone to the governor's yamen, and then joined the second round of scuffle, and it was not until late evening that the group of four came to the governor's yamen to visit Yuan Weiting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Yamen of the Mid-Autumn Festival is nominally not a holiday, in fact the shift is also very early, and in the afternoon, no one is seen in the various government offices. All the adults have to get dressed up, tidy up, and prepare for the evening. Yuan Weiting's birthday is August 17, which is not yet the first day, and at this time, no one came to congratulate him. On the door, Tang Tianxi was already waiting there, and when he saw Zhao Guanhou, he immediately knelt on the ground to give a salute, and the lower officials saw the courtesies of the officials, and they did not dare to judge each other as brothers as in the past. Zhao Guanhou was to him, but as in the past, he first called him brother when he met, and then handed over the gift list, which made Tang Tianxi very satisfied.
Cuiyu and Jin Ying are old friends, so they naturally went straight to the inner house, Zhao Guanhou came to the signing room, Yuan Weiting had already changed into a regular clothes, and when he saw him, he hurriedly greeted "Brother, you are so blessed." Someone just sent six Shengfang crabs yesterday, and you caught up. Tonight, eat crab feast and drink chrysanthemum wine at my place. Jin Ying made crabs, and he didn't have any skills, and in the evening, we went to the back house to eat, and the two of us talked about something serious first. Kyosato, what's the situation? Is the big guy's body good? ”
"Brother-in-law, rest assured, my father-in-law's health is very good, and it is the body and bones of Lotus Rokuro...... That is, to stay up for time. ”
"Tinggui also told me about this, and he can't even save his medical skills, but there is no way. Of course, there are good ginseng in the palace, and you can stay up for a while longer than ordinary people, but it won't be too long. But to take precautions, we have to prepare first and push the big guy up. I'll give you a sum of money to do just that. ”
"Don't bother brother-in-law to break the bank, the younger brother still has money here. But we can't be too anxious about this. Now the limelight in the court is a bit chaotic, some people want to implement new laws, some people want to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, guess who, who did I meet in King Su? Wang Xiaohang! The cadre of the Kang Party is now a staff member of King Su, and he still wants to recommend people to me, but I refute him. In such a chaotic situation, the court doesn't know what kind of wind to blow, and you must be careful now. As soon as the foreigners retreated, the ministers of our military training were useless, and it should be the turn of those old men to be ruthless, Zhai Zijiu was there, but staring at us, it was not good for him to grasp the handle. ”
Yuan Weiting snorted, "Shanyi is also a dishonest person, a sparse sect, but he always wants to rush forward and put himself on sooner or later." I have no objection to the implementation of the new law, but it also depends on how to do it, who will do it, and if it is not done well, it will be another palace change. The current country can't afford to toss, and if it tosses a few more times, I'm afraid it will fall apart. Although the peace treaty has been concluded, the world is not a peaceful year, and there is a possibility of fighting at any time. Jenson should have told you, you have to be prepared, your troops may have to go out of the customs and fight with the foreigners. ”
"It's done?"
"Yesterday Hachiro Itanishi of Fuso came to visit me, and when he spoke, he revealed the news. Fusang was ready to move troops against Tiele, and the people of Fusang had a habit of fighting and fought without declaring war. I guess that they are going to sneak attack the Tiele people, and as for where to sneak attack, there are no more than the Tiele ships of the brigade on the left and right, and then land with a large army. They came to have Daikin as an ally and to fight with them. ”
"What did my brother-in-law say?"
"I'm going to be simple, it's too big for me to be the master. In a word, I called him back. But the meaning of the Fusang people is obvious, saying that the court is the affairs of the court, and the supervision of the Xinjiang ministers is the business of the supervision of the Xinjiang ministers. Today's imperial court does not dare to decide to use force against a powerful country like Tiele without authorization, which is conceivable. But as a Xinjiang minister, if he is within his authority, he can also help the Fusang people a little if he uses some methods. For example, if they want to recruit An horse thieves, and Fusang people go to recruit An, it is not as convenient as the Jin State to send people to recruit An, so they need the support of the Jin State. These crabs are one of the gifts of the Fuso people. You've met the Tiele people, and you've dealt with the Fuso people, and you've almost become Aoki Nobujun's son-in-law. What do you think of these two countries? ”
"Fusang is like an explosive household, with no foundation, and he doesn't understand food and clothing, and he doesn't talk about human feelings. In terms of behavior, it is full of a small family's poverty. From the gifts they gave to Qingdi, you can know one or two. Tiele is a family who is used to being a thief, and he made a fortune by relying on the dirty of thieves, although he is a rich man, he has a bad background, he cannot be regarded as a gentleman, and he still retains the nature of a robber in his means. In the past few months, all countries have protested to him, and diplomatically, although he has Capet and Prussia as allies, he is still very passive. Breaking out is just a group of bastards fighting another group of bastards, and whoever wins and who loses is not much good for us. ”
"What if you look at it from the point of view of war?"
"Tiele has a lot of soldiers, but his guns are clumsy, and his training skills are not as good as those of Fusang. Moreover, the forces they can devote to the Eastern Front are limited, and even if there is a Trans-Siberian railway to transport supplies, it will not be able to support large-scale operations. They didn't get much compensation from Gengzi, and if they wanted to fight this battle, the military budget was not sufficient. Moreover, Tiele was unpopular outside the pass, and most of the people did it against him. In our garrison outside the Guan, there are also many people who collude with their beards and fight with the Tiele people. The Tiele people are embattled and attacked everywhere, but the Fuso people are more easily accepted by the local people, and militarily, the Tiele people do not have an advantage. However, Tiele has a world-famous Cossack horse corps and a Pacific Fleet, and in field and naval battles, both have really strong forces, and they should not be underestimated. ”
Yuan Weiting nodded frequently when he listened, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”
"The younger brother's opinion can only be told to his brother-in-law, not to others. There is a casino in Jinmen, and some people go to gamble, but good friends will not gamble, but will lend him money, as long as he wins, he can share dividends. In the casino, there is another way to help. They don't have money to lend to others, but when they see who wins, they go to deliver hot hand towels, make a fan, and say a few auspicious words. These two kinds of people have never gambled themselves, the first kind of people can be justified in dividends, and the second kind of people can only be cheeky to ask for rewards, more rewards and less rewards, and they can only rely on the happiness of the master's family. The younger brother means that if you want to do it, you must be the first kind of person, and you can't be the second kind of person. ”
Yuan Weiting said: "I understand what you said, but to be the first kind of person, you also have to be sure who wins." In case you lend money to a loser, you have to pay the bill. ”
"It's not hard to think about it. If the Tiele people win, we will lose the three provinces outside the Guanwai. The Fuso people won, and there is still hope for the three provinces to come back. Therefore, starting from ourselves, we can only bet on the Fusang people to win, and there is no reason to help Tiele fight Fusang. Besides, the Cossacks of the Tiele people are indeed powerful, but they are not invincible in the world. If the Fuso people are ruthless, they are not very easy to deal with. Those dwarves are very ruthless, and when they are really desperate, they dare to fight to the death, and it is difficult to deal with. I am optimistic about Fusang, and of course I can only be optimistic about Fusang. ”
Yuan Weiting also agreed, "You are the same as I think, so I said that I want your soldiers to go out of the customs, just to try to buy shares." When the time comes, we will have elite soldiers, and it will not be good for the Fuso people to ask too much outside the customs, and we can still make a great contribution. But...... It is not so easy for your troops to get out of the customs, a set of procedures, always have to go. ”
"We have to negotiate with Lotus Rokuro first, we can't move without the nod of the big military plane. In the other section, the dispatch of the army, the transportation of food and equipment are all major matters, and it is even more difficult to let the Tiele people seize the handle of our participation in the war. On the battlefield, many things are easy to do, you can change military uniforms and banners. But how to get so many soldiers on the battlefield, this has to be a fuss. ”
"You're just in time, this article, you have to help me do it. When it's done, give it to Lotus Rokuro and ask him to agree. If he asks his people to do this, they will not do it. ”
While the two were talking, a maid in the inner house came out to deliver the news, saying that the crab had been steamed and the two of them were invited to the table.
The two families are the same as the family, so they are not shy about it, and Jensen is also in the seat, just like Zhao Guanhou's wife and concubine. For this female god of wealth, Yuan Weiting did not dare to treat slowly, and Shen Jinying also dealt with it very diligently. Jensen coped with it decently and appeared very close. Although Fengzhi is a child of Haihe, he has eaten a lot from Xiaohe, but he has never eaten this kind of fat crab, and his hands are full of greasy crab paste, and he shouted again and again, "I have grown up in Jinmen from childhood to adulthood, and I have eaten countless fresh foods in the river and sea, why have I never eaten this kind of crab, look at my hands." ”
"How fresh, the first-class crabs in this Shengfang only produce a few pairs a year, and the people have nowhere to eat. In the south, there are eight taels of crabs in Yangcheng Lake, and in the north, you have to count the crabs in this Shengfang. As soon as it is fished out, someone will decide. The Fuso people can get six, and they can be regarded as having the means. ”
Jenson smiled, although she is a foreigner, but the posture of eating crabs is very elegant, the eight pieces of crabs are skillful, and the empty crab shell can still be put together into a whole crab. While wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he said: "The methods of the Fuso people are very powerful, but not in this matter, they are powerful in many ways. For example, they have a high-scale map of the three provinces outside the customs of your country. And this kind of map is not only not available in your country, but also not even in the Tiele people. I happened to see it once, and it can be said that the Fusang people have a better grasp of the mountains and rivers outside the Guanwai than both the Chinese and the Tiele people. The late Mr. Aoki Nobujun was the main mapmaker, and he also personally surveyed the terrain along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and if the Tiele people needed a map to arrange the battle, I think they should buy it from Fuso. ”
Jiang Fengzhi stretched out her hand, asked Zhao Guanhou to wipe the oil on her hands with a hand towel, and said on the side: "This helper is really powerful, how can he know better than us...... Huh? No, he has nothing to do with a map of our country. How can there be a reason to go to someone else's house as a guest and step on the plate? ”
Cuiyu sneered and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "My silly sister, you also understand, these two sides are not good people." ”
Yuan Weiting coughed dryly twice and looked at Jensen, "It seems that the Tiele people are already a mess in terms of intelligence." But I don't know what about the preparation of military funds? ”
"The Fuso people are the worst kind of people to work with, they are like a fussy old woman buying groceries at the market. But they have a specialty that can jam your psychological price very well, so the business can still be completed. As for the Tielers......"
Mrs. Jenson smiled meaningfully, "Their quartermaster, who only cares about how much kickback they can get, not about the price. They will pay several times more than the market price to buy some very bad goods. But from my point of view, the Tiele people are angels sent from heaven, and the Fuso people are devils from hell. ”
Having said that, she doesn't need to say who she is optimistic about, Yuan Weiting nodded, obviously thinking about how to take advantage of this big battle.
He has a lot of staff under him, but if he wants to make a profit, he has to send troops, he has to send troops, Zhao Guanhou's front army must be the main force, how to do this article, in the end, Zhao Guanhou has to nod, otherwise things will not be good. When the banquet was withdrawn, the four women began to play cards at the table, while Yuan Weiting pulled Zhao Guanhou aside
"Guanhou, this matter, in fact, is also very dangerous. Although Fusang has a greater chance of winning, Tiele's soldiers are several times more than Fusang, and the population also has an absolute advantage. If the ferocity of the Tiele people is played, the Fuso people may not be cheap. So it's good for us to take stocks, and it doesn't matter if we don't. You can do it yourself, if you want to take it, we will discuss a way to make a fuss together, if you don't want to, just treat it as if there is no such thing. It didn't hurt that I handed a handkerchief to the Fuso people. Anyway, this country belongs to their Wanyan family, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
"What my brother-in-law said is not like you. You are recognized as a strong man in the eyes of foreigners, how can you do such a thing. This time, we must take it. Not for the Wanyan family, but also for ourselves. As long as we play our majesty this time, a Fusang will come to slap us; Second, Tiele will be afraid of us; In Beijing, those who want to use our brains have to weigh it themselves, maybe my brother-in-law can also enter the military plane. ”
Yuan Weiting shook his head and smiled, "I'm a person who hasn't even been a showman, and my foundation is too bad." To be able to be a minister of Xinjiang is already the emperor's grace, and the matter of the military aircraft will never dare to think about it. That is, Hai Weng, his brother was born in Hanlin, how many years have he survived, this time it is still up to you to take over the work, so he can finish the curtain, I have no hope. Think about this article, and we'll discuss it tomorrow. ”
Coming out of the governor's yamen, Zhao Guanhou and his party returned to the Huabi Bank. Cuiyu went to the bath room to release water, and waited for Zhao Guanhou to take a bath, and she was naturally not spared. In the bathtub, she suddenly asked, "Guanhou, do you want to make this article?" If you want to do it, I can help you with an idea. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled, and his hand made a fool of her creamy skin, "My good jade, it is really my female Zhuge , come, see me reward you......"
Cuiyu pointed outside, "There are still two of them, and if the movement is too big, they will be locked up again." I'm not going to mess around with you, let's get down to business. Lord Yuan mentioned Hai Weng today, obviously because he had something to say, and the solution of this article had to start with him. He opened a curtain at the military plane to learn to walk, and most of them were not satisfactory. Zhai Hongji doesn't look at you right, and he won't be pleasing to Hai Weng. On the division of generations, Shilin's fame, Hai Weng was eaten to death, and he was also guilty of the military aircraft, so it was better to let it out, and it was really refreshing to be a governor. ”
Zhao Guanhou thought for a while, already understood what she meant, and nodded: "Your idea is good, but my friends are all in Shandong, and there is no one around." ”
Cui Yu smiled and said, "I don't want to be your staff, I don't want to be said, your family is a chicken Si Chen, one official and two seals." If I really use my pen, those old masters may not be stronger than me. At the moment, there is no one around you to use, so I will write a post for you, come, my crown marquis, I am waiting, laying paper and grinding, so that you can see the means of this girl.
