Liang Shiyi opened the curtain of the cotton door, walked into the inner room, and saw Yuan Shikai sitting cross-legged on the kang to review the text, and there was a small stove on the side, and the sparse hair on the back of his head was already gray.

"Wingman, what's wrong here, is there something wrong?" When Liang Shiyi was talking to the guards just now, Yuan Shikai heard that he was coming.

"Your Majesty, there is a happy event to report to you." Liang Shiyi stepped forward and said.

"Sit down and pour yourself a cup of tea." He gestured to the teapot on the table.

Liang Shiyi picked up the steaming copper kettle on the stove, filled some hot water in the teapot, changed the hot tea for Yuan Shikai, and poured a cup himself.

"Your Majesty, but you still remember Guo Yu." Liang Shiyi asked.

"Guo Yu, is it the Guo Yu who does charity, Jianhua Welfare Association." Yuan Shikai thought for a while and said.

"Yes, this is the person, you also know that we have had several contacts before, and he is the president of the China Charity Federation, and I introduced him to Lord Xu Shichang. Now that he's back, he just came to me and wanted to get a job in China. ”

Yuan Shikai looked up at Liang Shiyi, who was full of joy, and said, "He has the name of that philanthropist, and he is also the president of the China Charity Federation, his status is comparable to that of the ministers of various departments, and he himself is not short of money, why should he come back now to seek a position." ”

"He went to the United States for more than a year, where he has a big industry, according to him, this time he came back mainly to do trade business between the two countries, and it is also convenient to take care of the Huafu Association, so he has the idea of developing in China." Liang Shiyi said.

"We have also discussed this Huafu Association before, although it is beneficial to the country and the people, but now they have grown to hundreds of thousands of congregations, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of guns, which is already comparable to an army, and their own statement is to protect the property of the Huafu Society, but if it develops to a certain extent, out of our control, it will raise tigers for trouble, and it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will jump up and hurt people." Yuan Shikai naturally knows the stakes involved, the religion of ancient times, developed to a certain extent, many will rebel, the Yellow Turban Army, the White Lotus Sect, the Heaven and Earth Society, abound in history, it is difficult to guarantee that Guo Yu is not the next.

"Then I refuse him, it's a pity that the 10 million silver dollars." Liang Shiyi sighed.

Yuan Shikai is now in charge of finances by himself, and he knows the current embarrassing financial situation very well, of course, he is also very scratching his head, and when he heard Liang Shiyi mention 10 million oceans, he immediately came to his senses and asked: "What 10 million oceans?" ”

"That Guo Yu said that if he can get a position and is willing to deposit 5 million US dollars into the Bank of Communications, isn't this 10 million oceans?"

Yuan Shikai was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, this Guo Yu can still be used, and which of those powers seems to be the same, he can create such a career in a foreign country alone, which shows that Guo Yu has great talent, if this person can be used by me, it will be a help." ”

Listening to Yuan Shikai's words, Liang Shiyi thought to himself, you haven't fallen in love with the 10 million oceans of others, but he didn't dare to say this.

"Your Majesty, what position do you think you give him?"

"Since he has taken out a lot of money, he will ask for something, did he tell you anything?" Yuan Shikai asked. This is already equivalent to a clear transaction, so it is natural to ask the price code offered by the other party.

"He wants to do outdoor trade, and he wants to get a head official in the port area, of course, Tianjin and Shanghai are the best.

"He really dares to speak, Tianjin is too close to the capital, it is the maritime gateway of the capital, if there is a change, the capital will not react in a hurry, Tianjin is not good, Shanghai is the most important customs of the empire, there are many concessions of the great powers, it is our wallet, and we must have intimate people to manage it." Yuan Shikai said.

Yuan Shikai and Liang Shiyi studied for a while, and finally Yuan Shikai said: "You bring him in two days, I want to meet him." Liang Shiyi said goodbye and left.

Guo Yu took Chen Yougong and Erzhu out of the Bank of Communications and drove back to the headquarters of the Huafu Association, in fact, Guo Yu had little hope for Liang Shiyi's success, he always felt that the head of a country, the emperor, would not be moved for this money, and it was estimated that he would arrange a political official for himself.

However, Guo Yu will not be discouraged, he also has his own arrangements, it is nothing more than a later time. first has a foundation in the country, and when Yuan Shikai dies, he is choosing how to develop, and at that time, the whole country is in turmoil, and he will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Inspecting Huafu School, holding a meeting with the management to study the affairs of Huafu Shopping Mall, checking antiques, and studying and arranging matters related to Huafu Club, Guo Yu has been very busy these days, but on the morning of January 25, Liang Shiyi sent someone to the headquarters of Huafu Club to find Guo Yu, saying that Lord Liang asked him to meet Yuan Shikai together, Guo Yu thought, it seems that things have come to an end.

Liang Shiyi and Guo Yu met in front of the Bank of Communications, Guo Yu invited Liang Shiyi to get into his car, and the convoy drove towards the Grand Presidential Palace, looking at the luxurious interior decoration of Guo Yu's car, Liang Shiyi said, "Brother Hanyang, your car is really beautiful, driving steadily and fast, is this the latest foreign car?" ”

"Yes, the latest product, but the cost of production is too high, only a few cars are produced every year, today to meet His Majesty, I prepared a gift, it is such a car." Guo Yu replied.

The convoy stopped in front of the Xinhua Mansion, Guo Yu saw that the east side was the Jinshui Bridge of the Forbidden City, which he knew, the so-called Xinhua Mansion, the original presidential palace, was Zhongnanhai.

In later generations, Guo Yu once stood on the pavilion of Jingshan Park and saw the center of power in this country, but he was not qualified to go in, and now he was really excited to get close to Zhongnanhai.

Green bricks and green tiles, courtyards everywhere, Guo Yu feels that this place is like an independent courtyard house, there is not too much unusual, it may just be that people are very yearning for this place, and some myths have mythologized Zhongnanhai.

Liang Shiyi took Guo Yu to the door and stopped, and said to the guards: "Liang Shiyi brought Guo Yu to meet His Majesty, you go and report it." ”

Guo Yu raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding scenery, a few plum blossoms were planted in the courtyard, and the branches have been for some years, it is said that when Cixi hung the curtain to listen to the government, it was in Zhongnanhai, and I don't know if it was Yuan Shikai who lived here.

"Lord Liang, Your Majesty will let you in." The guard came out and said.

Liang Shiyi raised the curtain and walked into the room, Yuan Shikai sat behind the desk, was reviewing the text, the two didn't dare to speak, they both stood in the hall and waited for Yuan Shikai to ask, after a few minutes, Yuan Shikai raised his head after approving a text, glanced at Liang Shiyi, and then fixed his eyes on Guo Yu.

At this time, Guo Yu was also looking at Yuan Shikai, it turned out that he was just from the Internet or books, and saw other people's comments on Yuan Shikai, saying that he betrayed the country, greedy for money and enjoyment, meritorious to the country, and thieves, in fact, in Guo Yu's view, sometimes these are not what he can choose, Yuan Shikai is in such an environment, he will definitely use all his strength to fight, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to steal the country, and he has also worked hard against the great powers, sometimes people can promote the times, but more often the times push people away.
