Chapter 526: Grace and Power (II)
Shen Jinying crossed his horse and bent his bow, for this one thing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info separation of military and political in various provinces, probably starting from Shandong. Shen Jinying also knows that Shandong's civil affairs, Zhao Guanhou's management is very improving, the salt silk road mine, and the light industry are all very profitable, and the two major banks of Siheng and Zhengyuan, although they are not as large as the transportation and Zhongyang banks, but in terms of income, they may not be smaller than them.
Unlike the provinces that supervised the remnants of the army and the people, Shandong's integration of the military and the people actually outweighed the disadvantages for the local people in Shandong. Moreover, the salt law and grain management methods he engaged in allow the people to have basic living guarantees, and there are also many fewer homeless people ringing horses, and moving his chief of civil affairs is the most difficult thing.
But on the other hand, if such an excellent civil governor is dismissed, then the overseers in other places are not as good as Zhao Guanhou in terms of governance, so naturally there is no reason to sit on the seat again.
Moreover, Shandong's salt, roads, and mines were all guaranteed in loans, and Yuan Weiting could not get much money from Shandong. However, according to the information reflected below, Shandong's surplus is extremely large and its financial situation is good, and it is very profitable to change its own chief of civil affairs and relieve the financial pressure on the government.
These words can only be understood, not spoken, and Shen Jinying can't say them too carefully. The reason why she came forward to talk was that there was room for turnaround. At present, most of the elite soldiers in Beiyang are mobilized to the southern provinces to seize territory, the north is empty, and a white wolf is in Henan, and there is no official army to control it.
The strength of Zhao Guanhou's two divisions, one brigade and one regiment, plus the local security forces, was strong and strong, with many men and guns. Once he gets into the situation where the cart hits the wall, if he resists by force, Yuan Weiting will also have to consider the consequences.
In the autumn breeze, it brings the fragrance of plants and trees, Shen Jinying blows like an orchid, and the Capet perfume on her body makes people have countless thoughts in their hearts.
"Little brother, sister also knows that it is not appropriate for you to grow up in civil affairs, but the separation of military and political affairs is inevitable, and the relationship between this does not need to be said, you can understand it yourself. We are the closest people, if we don't start with you, how can others be convinced. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you will look at the face of your sister, suffer a loss, and hand over the chief of civil affairs. Sister promises that the person who arranged it will not hold your elbows, and when the time comes, you will still be your Shandong overseer, and he will just be your substitute. When the separation of military and government in the provinces is completed, your brother-in-law will also be in a big position, and my sister will protect you and be a bigger official than the overseer. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled slightly, "The eldest lady is far away, at my age, being a patrol envoy is already an outlier, how dare I ask for a bigger official." Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and besides, only removing my civil chief is also reducing my burden, and I have no reason not to agree. Anyway, the republican soldiers must obey the orders of the government, and there is a temporary law to govern them, and as long as the president gives a warrant, I can immediately give way. ”
Syllable!
A small slap fell on his face, and there was a hint of crying in Shen Jinying's voice
"You have no conscience, and you have a temper with your sister, and the eldest lady is called, don't you plan to recognize me as a sister? Tell you, no way! Sister, just your relative, you can't recognize it if you want to. Do you think it's easy? Say good things for you in the palace, dredge up in front of the president, do you think you are in the former gold, as long as there is power, you can press it if you kill seven or eight. Your brother-in-law is the president, but not Lafayette, and the president is still temporary, so how can you be lawless? Even if Keyun did this, he would still break his other leg! Your disposition is already high-minded, if you really don't want people to come, we'll discuss it again...... Is it so ruthless? ”
Although Zhao Guanhou became an overseer, his habit of carrying a handkerchief with him did not change, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears for Shen Jinying. "Well, it's my fault, I shouldn't have said something like that. But sister, you have to be considerate of me. I fought the world for my brother-in-law's birth and death, and I have no credit and hard work, right? The result? Jiang Ning knocked down, Songjiang beat down, if you want me to let it, I will let it, what do I say more? What qualifications does Zheng Zhengcheng have to compare with me, he will be the guard of Songjiang, why should he be given such a fat shortage? I don't say a word, let me let me, I'll let me, but now I can't even kill a few people? Simply, I won't do this overseer anymore, and go to Qingdao to enjoy happiness. ”
Shen Jinying took the initiative to hold Zhao Guanhou's hand and moved to his side, "I don't mention my friendship with Shigege and Jade, just say you and me, how does my sister treat you?" You say, "Am I going to hurt you?" At the beginning, Rong An was dismissed, and he ran into walls everywhere, you gave a huge amount of money in Shandong, and Huanshang Village had a good supply every month, which Rong An and I have not forgotten. But the more this is the case, the more cautious you must be, and you must know this truth. If you want to reuse you, you must be pressed first, otherwise, even those clear public opinion will drown you. People have to look at the long, and in the future, there will always be no hardships for you. If your brother-in-law becomes president in the future, can't you be the head of the cabinet? When the time comes, the two of you will join forces, and you will be above 10,000 people under one person, just like the king who said on the stage, what else can you not get? Whether it's Songjiang or Jiangning, it's just one city and one place, compared with the world, what is it? You said that your sister and brother-in-law are not good to you, let me give you an example. That Feng Huanzhang followed Wu Dingzhen to make trouble with Ge Ming, and led his troops to fight in Jinmen. After being arrested, it is said that it is the crime of shooting, because because he mentioned that he was your friend, your brother-in-law showed mercy, not only did not kill him, but also asked him to become an officer. ”
Feng Huanzhang? Zhao Guanhou almost forgot the name at first, but soon remembered the classmate who seemed honest and a little wooden. At the beginning, he gave him the quota to study abroad, and after he came back, he also became a Ge Ming party?
"Feng Huanzhang, he said he was my friend?"
"Yes, after he was arrested, he wrote a confession, and he specifically mentioned that he was close friends with you in the Martial Arts Academy, and even the quota for him to study abroad was also given to him by you. Your brother-in-law checked the file, it's indeed like this, what's the matter, could it be that something has changed? ”
"That's not true, then where is he now."
"I followed the troops to Shaanxi, the area around Guanzhong has never been peaceful, and when Dong Wuxing was alive, he could still hold it down. After he died, there was no order at all, and it was chaotic. Your brother-in-law sent troops into Shaanxi, he went out with the team, I heard that he led the troops very well, and his subordinates can make a lot of death, and as long as he makes military achievements in Shaanxi, he must be reused. Tell him again, it's your face, and in the future, this will be your arm. ”
Zhao Guanhou did not say no, and responded. Shen Jinying saw that he had lost his temper, and his heart relaxed a little. "Actually, it's really a bit embarrassing to let you enter Beijing this time, and you can probably imagine that your brother-in-law is running out of money. This country is like a monster that eats gold, and it can't be filled with any amount of money. The expansion of the army in various provinces is very strong, and there is no way to pay the military salary alone. This time, I want to borrow a sum of money from Huabi and Zhengyuan, and I want you to tell me about it. Sister knows that you have to do these things, which is to embarrass you. But who makes my sister a relative like you, who can wronged you, who can be wronged. It's like the country has no money, so if you don't tell you about such a confidential matter, who will you tell it? ”
"The matter of money, everyone is very tight, I haven't looked at the bank's account recently, how much money can be raised, I don't dare to pack a ticket now. I can only do my best, always within my ability, and I will not shirk. ”
"I knew you believed it." Shen Jinying got up with a smile, took Zhao Guanhou's hand, walked a few steps in the direction of the Forbidden City, and pointed with his finger, "Look, how beautiful that must be!" Now, I want to eat, I want to wear, I can get what I want. The only regret is that I am not as good as Sai Jinhua. She can live in the Luanyi Palace, but I can't live in the Forbidden City. ”
"Sister, this is the Luanyi Palace. It was burned down, the Buddha Zhao Building was rebuilt, and later, it was changed to Juren Hall. ”
"I know, but you know what I mean. My background, food and clothing, I don't care the most, what I care about the most is my reputation and face. There's a Yu up there, the first lady, and I'm hopeless. But if your brother-in-law is not the president, but the emperor, I can be an imperial concubine, with a phoenix ribbon, and the six palaces, and the first lady, I don't think it's much different. ”
Zhao Guanhou was stunned for a moment, and said, "Sister, if we really get to that point, we want to meet, but it will be difficult." There is a difference between inside and outside, the palace is strictly forbidden, and at this moment, you must be surrounded by a few little eunuchs. Even if I want to hold my sister's hand, the system doesn't allow it. ”
"If my sister really becomes the imperial concubine, I have the final say, I want you to hold my hand, whoever dares to stop him, I will kill him!" When Shen Jinying said this, she smiled charmingly, "Forget it, even the president is still temporary, and if you say that the emperor is talking about it, let's go back." Your two wives, don't be suspicious of where you go to steal your mouth, give you a good night to eat. ”
That night, Zhao Guanhou naturally slept with Chen Lenghe. Chen Lenghe has always been supportive of the separation of military and government, but when this matter fell on her husband, she couldn't deal with it calmly.
"This is not fair, you are engaged in economic construction in Shandong, why should you dismiss your civil affairs chief. If you want to borrow money from Zhengyuan, you must guarantee your position as civil governor, and I will go to Jensen tomorrow to say that if the Gonghe Zhengfu replaces the civil governor of Shandong, then it will not get a penny of the loan. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled and blamed her, "When you first came to me, you were also very reluctant, and you also said that you would earn 10 million and then leave me." Now, I will take the initiative to defend my interests. ”
"You said it yourself, you have a shortcut to my heart." At this time, Chen Lenghe was not ashamed to admit his feelings, but responded enthusiastically, "I am not a wooden person, I also have my own emotions, in order to protect my lover, I can be fearless." If the president wants to borrow, then you must guarantee your position, otherwise, I will not borrow a single money! ”
"No, should you borrow or borrow, numerically, another story." Zhao Guanhou didn't say in her ear until he once again obeyed Chen Lenghezhi:
"The reason why he did this to me this time was actually to test my bottom line and see if I was loyal enough to him. Now most of the northern provinces are empty, and only Shandong has a strong army. If I have any dissatisfaction with him, as long as the troops go out of Shandong and aim at the capital, his career will collapse immediately. So, he was testing me, what he thought of him, and whether he was loyal or treacherous. If I have the idea of holding myself on top, he will take measures against me. I'm not afraid of him, but now in China, do you think there should be a civil war? ”
Chen Lenghe also knows that now the country's finances are close to bankruptcy, people's livelihood is withering, and there are strong neighbors watching outside. If there is another large-scale civil war, it is likely that the country will be divided among the great powers. She is not a willful person, but she still can't help but say:
"I'm not convinced. Why...... It's you who are out of luck. ”
"It's not necessarily unlucky, I don't do it to the civil governor, and I don't need him to send someone to sit down. When the time comes, I can incite the Shandong Provincial Council to elect the chief of civil affairs, as long as this candidate is the person in my pocket, it will be no different from sitting with me. Besides, as long as I have military power in my hands, changing the chief of civil affairs is just a matter of taking care of the matter, and there is no embarrassment. You will cooperate with me to play the play well, and borrow some of the money you should borrow. In terms of numbers, control it yourself, not too much, not too little, and you can explain it in face. ”
Chen Lenghe said: "I think some of the president's measures are very suspicious. He supported Dajin's extravagant Feng'an ceremony, and he also regarded the Confucian Church as the state religion, which always gave me a feeling. ”
"What does it feel?"
"It's more and more like an imperial state. No matter how much the Ge Ming Party offended me before, they always sacrificed countless lives to change our country from an imperial system to a communist state. If you return to the imperial system again, this blood will not be shed in vain, and people will be sacrificed in vain. The people will never allow such a thing to happen, and the civil war, which you fear the most, will definitely happen. ”
"I don't think the president is so confused." Zhao Guanhou suddenly remembered the Napoleonic biography he sent, hoping that it was not a sin of his own making. He really wants to follow the example of the emperor and become the supreme soldier from the army.
The night breeze blew the leaves, and the rustling sound came into the room along the window, Zhao Guanhou thought for a long time, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What should come will always come, and it can't be stopped." In our opinion, it is even more necessary to fulfill his wish to be president, anyway, when he becomes president, the power is similar to that of the emperor, as long as he becomes president, he probably doesn't want the emperor to be famous. Look at the emperor in the Forbidden City, even if you have to avoid this and that, even for a funeral, what's the point! ”
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Tianxi came to invite again, Zhao Guanhou changed his dress and military uniform, handed over all the weapons to Tang Tianxi, and then entered the Juren Hall.
The light here is very good, and as soon as you enter the door, you can see Yuan Weiting in full costume perched high on the throne of the president. Wearing a white-tasseled military hat on his head, a generalissimo's dress with blue gold epaulettes, and a variety of medals and watches on his chest, his majesty is unbelievable.
After Zhao Guanhou saw the salute, Yuan Weiting said unhurriedly: "Sit down and talk." Now it's a republic, don't do kneeling and worshipping anymore, otherwise the reporter will know that they will find fault with us. Everyone else, all withdrew. The tone was calm, not angry and arrogant, and the entire Ju Ren Hall was shrouded in the authority of this emperor, who was not called the emperor, but was like the Son of Heaven.
Tang Tianxi slapped a few times, and the attendants in the Ju Ren Hall followed him and retreated, leaving this place for the two of them. This behavior is just like the method taught by Li Lianying to disperse the little eunuch that day, I don't know which eunuch in the palace taught it.
Yuan Weiting showed a smile at this time, and made a gesture towards Zhao Guanhou, "Come and sit beside me, don't be restrained." Just now, there were outsiders who had to maintain the system, otherwise we would be laughed at. Now that there are no outsiders, we are relatives, how can there be so much hypocrisy to talk about. Yesterday, Jin Ying entertained your family banquet, are you still satisfied? I also want to wait for you to come to Beijing and talk to you, but I can't get out of Feng'an ceremony. You will also go to the court today and prostrate yourself, for it is the duty of a servant. In any case, you and I have eaten a lot of money, and we should do our part. ”
"Humble duty understands."
Yuan Weiting paused, and then asked: "Guanhou, how is the folk customs in Shandong, is the law and order okay?" If...... I mean, if you send someone to Shandong to pick up the civil affairs chief, would you be willing to do it? I heard Jin Ying say, if you have grievances, if you are angry, you will say, you don't want people to go, I won't send this person. ”
Seeing that Yuan Weiting was straight to the point, Zhao Guanhou couldn't turn around in circles anymore, so he had to respond: "I lost my mouth last night, don't be surprised by the president." Personnel arrangements, since the president decides, the provinces have no right to disobey, the president sent a subordinate, from the humble duty to the full assistance, to do their best to cooperate with his work. I will automatically resign from the post of civil affairs chief and ask the state to appoint a meritocracy to take over, and Shandong will not set up any obstacles. (To be continued.) )
