(The second watch, the third watch is in the yard, around twelve o'clock.) ）

As a businessman, Sheng Xuanhuai can be called sharp-eyed and vicious, but as an official, his political intuition is obviously much duller.

"What Lord Liang has to say, I still say it clearly, and I don't understand it very well." After being stunned for a long time, Sheng Xuanhuai suddenly asked.

Hearing that Sheng Xuanhuai finally spoke, Ye Kai seemed to have a few beats slower in his ears, and he looked unhurried, and after taking a sip of tea, he said slowly: "How has Master Sheng been in the Ministry of Posts and Communications all these years, it seems that there is no need to say more." ”

As soon as Ye Kai's words came out, the red-roofed businessman who used to crisscross the mall suddenly couldn't sit still, how was he doing? These words are equivalent to asking Master Sheng if you have suffered enough in the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and pressing the anger in his heart, Sheng Xuanhuai tried his best to remain calm and said: "The old man is over sixty years old, and he has nothing to do all day, but he can live for a long time." ”

"Master Shan, it's not a good sign to live such a negative life." Hearing the thick sourness in these words, Ye Xingxing smiled happily and sighed with regret.

"Liangbi is still speaking well for Lord Sheng in front of the regent today, I don't have anything, you have to live up to the regent's high expectations." Ye Kai shook his head and sighed deeply again, the expression on his face was accurate and not too contrived.

"Regent?" Hearing this, Sheng Xuanhuai opened his mouth in some surprise, since he arrived in the capital, how many days have he been, he has not had the opportunity to meet the supreme ruler of the empire and personally state his thoughts to him.

"Yes, it is the regent, the regent will summon Master Sheng in three days, and then enter the palace to play the right thing, and Lord Sheng will have the opportunity to play in person." Ye Kai looked at Sheng Xuanhuai, who had an eager face, and then said: "Oh, by the way, Master Sheng seems to be quite concerned about setting up a bank and reforming the currency system. With that, Ye Kai showed a smile that had been premeditated for a long time.

If Sheng Xuanhuai was just surprised by Ye Kai just now, then now he was replaced by a look of horror, his thoughts were almost unattended in that era, and the person in front of him was only about thirty or so, and he was still a military general, how could he know so much.

"Lord Liang is also in favor of currency reform and the creation of banks?" Sheng Xuanhuai was a little unsure and asked cautiously.

Of course, Ye Kai will not say that I have crossed over, from the perspective of modern people, financial stability is related to the lifeblood of the country, he nodded, and then said with a regretful face: "The currency system is complicated, harmful and useless, foreigners, money banks, and governors from all over the country take the opportunity to issue paper money indiscriminately, and in the end, it is my 40,000,000 people in China who suffer from it, how can Liangbi have a reason not to approve." ”

Ye Kai's words were not leaky, Sheng Xuanhuai came back to his senses for a long time, and nodded thoughtfully: "I didn't expect Lord Liang to think so, I was really moved." Regarding Sheng Xuanhuai's praise, Ye Kai was noncommittal, and just wanted to say in his heart that as long as his brain is still sound in modern times, everyone will think so.

"However, it doesn't matter whether Liangbi approves or disapproves, the key is the regent." Ye Kai continued what he had just said: "Then it depends on whether the regent can be persuaded by Lord Shan." ”

"Such a major event that benefits the country and the people, the old man must do his best." Sheng Xuan said with righteous affirmation, after listening to Ye Kai's remarks just now, he couldn't help but be impressed by the latter's knowledge and knowledge, and since he can talk to the regent, then he is definitely not an ordinary person, and then he thinks that the military advisory office has just been established, and the other party has become a military envoy at a young age, and he has a little respect in his heart, and then he bowed his head and whispered: "I don't know what the regent means about this matter?" ”

"How dare the Lord Regent speculate on what this official means." Ye Kai didn't continue, and teased in a calm voice: "Sheng Daren will naturally know when he arrives." ”

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Sheng Xuanhuai still accepted it when he saw the situation, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you Lord Liang for your kind words for the old man." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you, whether the regent agrees or not, in the final analysis, this matter still has to be done by Sheng Daren."

Ye Kai's sudden words made Sheng Xuanhuai a little confused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked suspiciously, "What does Lord Liang mean?" ”

"Sheng Daren should know that this officialdom is more fraudulent than the shopping mall, although Sheng Daren is the right attendant of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, a dignified second-class member, but he is still the same name and powerless, every time Sheng Daren does anything, he is constrained everywhere, even if the regent is persuaded by the adult to let the adult preside over the currency reform, I am afraid that the grand person is powerless." Ye Kai said in an almost inducing tone.

And Sheng Xuanhuai also fell silent when he heard this, in the past few years in the capital, after experiencing these turmoil, he understood Ye Kai's words more deeply, indeed, in the shopping mall, he can be called the wind and rain, so that a generation of famous businessman Hu Xueyan ruined, and finally died of depression, but the same method, but in this huge yamen there is nothing to do, this series of realities told him in a cold tone that the big net of officialdom is far from being comparable to the shopping mall, in addition to money, there is more power, and this is not what he is good at.

"What does Nara-sama think?" Sheng Xuanhuai said as he pondered his words.

For Ye Kai, when he heard this, this transaction had officially entered the stage of serving the main course, and he said bluntly in a language that had been organized long ago: "Chen Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, is stealing from a high position and doing nothing, if you don't go to Chen, I'm afraid that there will be more idle days in the future." ”

Seeing that the latter's face was slightly frozen, Ye Kai would not let go of this opportunity, and then said with more material: "Li Dai Tao stiff, the capable are on top, it is understandable, not to mention that with the talent of Master Sheng, how can he live such a life of nothingness." ”

Ye Kai's words were like a gong striking in Sheng Xuanhuai's ears, deafening, and he finally understood what Li Hongzhang, a lifelong acquaintance, said, "If you want to do great things, you must be a high-ranking official." Perhaps, when he was struggling in the first few years of foreign affairs, he was thinking about this sentence.

Sheng Xuanhuai sighed, plucked up his courage, and said concisely but affirmatively: "How to go to Chen?" ”

"This is not the trouble of the adult, Liangbi must do his best to plan for the adult." Ye Kai showed a sly smile.

For power, a pair of stingy hands can't hold the table, Sheng Xuanhuai nodded knowingly, acquiesced to the other party's request, and did not continue to ask, but he did not relax either, he knew that his chips had all been out, and the next thing was when the other party gave the conditions, and this transaction was actually only half of the talks.

"Lord Liang has worked hard, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Ye Kai smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "Master Sheng is worthy of being a businessman, and there is no business in the world that is not eaten for nothing." ”

Sheng Xuanhuai is a businessman, Ye Kai is also a businessman, in addition to the necessary tacit understanding, businessmen and businessmen have always paid attention to reciprocal transactions, but this time the goods they want to exchange are called power.

"That Sheng listened."

Sheng Xuanhuai sat upright, he waited for Ye Kai's next chips, and the businessman's intuition told him that the next thing would not be easy.
