Chapter Ninety-Nine: Su Changzhen's Guard
Yuan Shikai looked at Guo Yu, this young man for him, what was he thinking, what was his intention to return to China, now he has a huge family of assets, a successful career, and could have enjoyed life, why do you have to wade into this troubled water, is it really as he said, to fight for charity.
"Your Majesty, this is Guo Yu, Guo Hanyang." Liang Shiyi said.
Guo Yu bowed to Yuan Shikai and said, "Your Majesty is good." Guo Yu is not ready to say much, just look at how Yuan Shikai arranges for him.
"I know your business, Kaihua Welfare will help the people, meritorious to the country, now the state is difficult, and we need the help of people of insight like you to tide over the difficulties together, Yifu told me about you, you want to find a position in the port to develop trade, this is a good thing, the government should support it, is this Shanghai?"
When Guo Yu heard the word Shanghai, his heart moved, could he go to Shanghai to take up a post, no matter what position, it would be best to go to Shanghai.
I heard Yuan Shikai continue: "This Shanghai is too important, you have not been trained in government affairs before, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it." Speaking of this, Guo Yu was deflated in his heart, why don't you arrange for me to go to Shanghai, what do you want him to do, and tease me.
Yuan Shikai continued, "But I'm going to arrange for you to go to Suzhou, which is very close to Shanghai and is also very helpful for your trade business, you see how it goes." ”
Guo Yu was happy in his heart, Suzhou is not bad, but I don't know what position it is.
"You just be a Su Changzhen guard, I am giving you to be the general of Hanyang, I know that your Huafu will have its own security personnel, and they can also be called the Huafu Society Escort in the future, of course, you need to raise it yourself, the government will not contribute a penny, you have to take care of your subordinates, don't make trouble, if you use them one day, you must be able to contribute to the country, you know." Yuan Shikai's words are a bit strict, and it seems that he deliberately knocked down Guo Yu.
"Thank you, Wechen will definitely be loyal and serve Your Majesty." Guo Yu replied with a happy face. This is for Yuan Shikai to see, and he is really happy, it has been beyond Guo Yu's expectations to be able to get a Su Chang town guard, he thought that Yuan Shikai would arrange a civilian official for him at most, but he didn't expect that now he has become a prince, and he can build an army in the name of righteousness.
5 million US dollars, just the money of a calligraphy and painting in later generations, who knew that he would get a town guard for himself, it seems that the power of money is really not small.
Yuan Shikai told Guo Yu a few more words, it is nothing more than to be obedient, don't make trouble, you are my person now, etc.
Guo Yu was not ambiguous, directly took out a prepared check, put his hands on Yuan Shikai's desktop, and said: "I know that His Majesty is frugal on weekdays, but His Majesty is related to the face of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and it should not be too simple. ”
Yuan Shikai looked at the check on the table, good guy, it's really generous, Citibank cashier's check, $500,000.
"Your Majesty, I also have a special car for you, do you want to take a look now." Too much to continue.
"It's rare that you have a heart, and you happen to be tired of sitting, let's go and have a look." When Yuan Shikai saw the check for $500,000, he was happy in his heart, and naturally he also gave face.
A group of people came to the courtyard near the courtyard gate of Xinhua Mansion, where Guo Yu prepared a gift for Yuan Shikai was parked, Yuan Shikai, Liang Shiyi and others circled the car several times, and listened to Guo Yu said: "Your Majesty, this car is called the Great Wall Haval H6, it is all handmade, now the world's most advanced technology, unique design, this car runs fast, can walk on muddy dirt roads, you look at this place, this is called the skylight, people can stand directly to see the outside, if you want to review the army, You can go directly to the car to review. Guo Yu ran the train with his mouth full, so he didn't care whether Yuan Shikai would go out from the skylight and hit the tree.
Guo Yu also invited Yuan Shikai and Liang Shiyi to get in the car and take a turn, both of them liked the car very much, the car was comfortable to sit on, not bumpy, fast, and very quiet when the windows were closed, which was a hundred times stronger than Yuan Shikai's original car.
On the way back, Guo Yu and Liang Shiyi chatted in the same car, "Brother Hanyang, it seems that Your Majesty appreciates you very much, the town guard envoy is already a prince, and my brother is here to congratulate you." ”
"Brother Liang, thanks to you this time, I am very satisfied with this town guard." As he spoke, he took out a check on his body, handed it to Liang Shiyi with both hands and said, "I can't repay my brother's kindness, so I can only talk about my heart like this." ”
Liang Shiyi excused himself, and finally accepted it, and secretly glanced at it when he stuffed it in his pocket, good guy, 100,000 US dollars, it's really a huge amount of money. When the car arrived at the door of the Bank of Communications, Guo Yu got out of the car with Liang Shiyi, took Liang Shiyi's hand and said, "Brother, look over there." As he spoke, he pointed to a white Great Wall Haval parked not far from the entrance of the Bank of Communications and said, "Your Majesty, that one is black, black represents honor, I have prepared a white one for you, white represents Gaojie, my brother still likes it." ”
Liang Shiyi was greedy for the Great Wall Haval car just now, but he was embarrassed to speak directly, and now Guo Yu took the initiative to send it, scratching the itch in the center, and suddenly his face was full of smiles.
Things are done successfully, spend a few dollars Guo Yu doesn't care, as long as he can achieve his goal, he has a town guard, it is already an unexpected joy, how can he not be happy.
Back at the headquarters of the Huafu Association, Chen Yougong directly followed up Guo Yu's office, and when he saw Guo Yu's face full of smiles, he knew that his master's business was done, and quickly asked: "Master, is there an errand, where is the errand?" ”
"Your lord and I went out, and I could still return empty-handed, and I got a Su Changzhen guard." Guo Yu said.
After listening to Guo Yu's words, Chen Yougong was full of surprise, he was even more shocked than Guo Yu, Guo Yu didn't know much about the situation of the officialdom of the Republic of China after all, others were all governors, presidents, emperors or something, he was a town guard, a local small warlord, but Chen Yougong knew how rare this was, his master was a white body, and he could step into the town guard in one step, which was really a step to the sky.
Seeing Guo Yu's indifferent expression, Chen Yougong said: "Congratulations, master, you are now a figure in the Republic of China, when the time comes, you will have 100,000 soldiers, and you will be a celebrity in the future." ”
"Just right, tell me what kind of official position this town guard is, I only know a rough idea." Guo Yu asked.
"This town guard was originally a temporary official position, and it was changed to a permanent position in the second year of the Republic of China, generally dividing a province into several regions, like Jiangsu has seven town guards, and your Su Chang town guard should be Suzhou and Changzhou."
"The authority of this town guard envoy is similar to that of the former Qing general army, he is the highest commander of the army, and sometimes he has the post of Dao Yin, under the command of the town guard envoy, responsible for civil affairs, but the town guard envoy is in charge of the army and the people in many places, and all things are decided by you alone, and the power is very great, I just don't know how Yuan Shikai arranged it for you, but he set up Dao Yin, and he also listens to you."
Guo Yu became more and more happy when he heard this, and he bought a provincial military division commander plus the mayor's official son for millions of dollars, and the money was well spent.
