The northwest has just entered spring, and the city of Nanjing, which is entrenched in the Yangtze River, is already in the heat. The sweltering summer and cold climate in winter made many officials and businessmen from the north complain, and they couldn't help but complain. The discourse was full of dissatisfaction with the city of Nanjing, and last year several members of the northern parliament again raised the concept of the Son of Heaven guarding the country, demanding that the capital be moved to Beijing. But no matter how much hustle and bustle, it is the current capital of the country, and the city has prospered quickly with merchants from all over the world, officials on business trips, and diplomats from all over the world.

Zhang Wenjing's home is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, a two-story Western-style building with a single family. This house was bought when he first came to Nanjing, because he was honest and never greedy for money, and he was not interested in business, so he borrowed money from his wife's wife, who opened the tailor's 555th chapter third lady's horse shop. With the position of finance minister in recent years, although the money has been paid off, the debt is owed, and his wife always nagged him to help arrange a few people, which is regarded as repaying the favor of the year, but he insisted on not opening the back door, so now there are fewer and fewer people who come to the house to play the autumn breeze.

"I'm back."

Zhang Wenjing opened the door, his wife was knitting a sweater under the lamp, and the two and a half children were lying on the table doing their homework. ”

"Not yet."

"Then you wait, I'll give you a hot meal."

After his wife left, Zhang Wenjing picked up his son's last night and checked it. The topics are all mathematics and geometry, the vast majority of schools in the country did not have this course during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and after the popularization of education in the Republic of China, mathematics, physics and chemistry, and physical geography were determined to be three compulsory courses, but due to the insufficient number of teachers, many remote areas were still dominated by Chinese studies, until the European war Britain and France supported tens of thousands of teachers, and tens of thousands of Russian refugees who came to China at the end of last year were selected to gradually improve.

Looking at the homework, he was also very emotional in his heart. When they were soldiers in Hubei, the greatest dream of him and Yue Peng was to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish New China. Now that the wish has been completed, the fifth and fifth chapters of the third lady have come to fruition, and the foundation of the Republic of China has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the eight years since its establishment. Guotai and the people's security are not counted, but through several wars, the state status was finally established, and the financial order was gradually restored after the silver crisis, and various loopholes were plugged. The education coverage rate began to increase, and everything was moving towards his dream, but he suddenly felt extremely tired.

In fact, he doesn't like Nanjing very much, it is full of too many transactions and calculations, and since he came, he seems to have plunged into a big cage and can't get out, if it weren't for his ideals, he would rather go to guard a few acres of thin fields. 9 to 5 carefree days.

The wife quickly warmed up the meal, and drove the child to the inner room to do homework, cleaned up the table and just put down the meal, but saw that his face was very bad, and quickly asked, "Are you too tired?" Seeing that you are not looking good these days, do you want to take a leave of absence for two days? ”

"I'm fine, don't worry about it." Zhang Wenjing was full of worries, and he had been depressed since he quarreled with Yang Qiu last year, but he didn't want his wife to worry. So I barely squeezed out a little smile and shook my head, but as soon as the chopsticks in my hand reached for the rice bowl, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"It's so late. Who is it? The wife muttered and opened the door and was stunned, because there was a woman standing at the door in a silk cheongsam, with a bewitching curve and a luxurious appearance.

"Excuse me...... Such a beautiful woman came to the door with a black light, which made Zhang Wenjing's wife murmur secretly in her heart, thinking of the anecdotes of those golden houses in the streets and alleys, she was nervous, but she felt very strange, although their family was a single family, but it was also the minister's house, so there were guards outside, how could a strange woman come in? At this time, Zhang Wenjing poked his head out. Seeing the woman's appearance, he was also shocked: "Third lady! How did you get here? ”

No wonder he was surprised, it was Lu Bicheng standing at the door.

Lu Bicheng smiled slightly: "What? I can't come and meet with the Minister of Finance? You're not going to hang me in the doorway, are you? This must be my sister-in-law, right? ”

Zhang Wenjing's wife is just the daughter of an ordinary tailor shopkeeper, although she is very beautiful, but because she doesn't read much, she is afraid of embarrassing her husband, so she doesn't dare to go to other official wives on weekdays to go shopping together, and she doesn't dare to go to the ball or anything. It's just that the husband and son at home abide by their duties, so when they saw such a beautiful woman calling themselves sister-in-law, the panic in my heart finally disappeared, but then I became suspicious again, secretly wondering who this woman was.

Lu Bicheng's identity is quite special, although she is not officially married to Yang Qiu, but people who know her usually call her the third lady, and even she herself never argues. So after Zhang Wenjing thought about it, he still introduced his wife as the wife of the vice president. Although I don't know Lu Bicheng, who doesn't know Vice President Yang Qiu's name now? So his wife's heart became nervous again, and she didn't understand why Lu Bicheng came.

"What are you still standing for? Go pack up. Zhang Wenjing didn't expect Lu Bicheng to come. Because after she gave birth to a son for Yang Qiu two months ago, she didn't go out of the door and concentrated on recuperating at home, it is said that she didn't even care much about the affairs of Huachen Petroleum Company, how could she suddenly come to her house tonight? So I couldn't help but look behind me.

Lu Bicheng has read countless people, so he can't see his little move, so he smiled and said, "Don't look at it, he is still in Wuchang and hasn't moved." ”

Zhang Wenjing was really a little afraid to see Yang Qiu now, and he was a little relieved when he heard that he was still in Wuchang, and after inviting Lu Bicheng into the house, he asked, "Why did you come?" ”

"I'm bored and upset to stay at home all day, and I heard that my sister-in-law is bored at home alone, so I want to go shopping together tomorrow." Lu Bicheng put the small bag on the table, swept the surroundings and left it on Zhang Wenjing's wife's face, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you free tomorrow?" ”

"Huh? I. Zhang Wenjing's wife was very nervous, and just wanted to answer that she didn't have much time to take care of the family, but remembered Lu Bicheng's identity and hurriedly looked at her husband with her eyes. Zhang Wenjing knew that what Lu Bicheng said was just an excuse, and said with a smile: "Madame will let you go, it will be hard for you to stay at home all day." ”

It was the first time for Mrs. Zhang to hear her husband say the word hard work, her eyes suddenly had a layer of mist, and she said with a smile: "You guys have something to talk about slowly, I'll go get some snacks." ”

Zhang Wenjing didn't stop him, and only after letting his wife go to prepare did he turn his head and ask, "Madam, I don't know what to do with me so late?" ”

Lu Bicheng smiled slightly, opened the small bag and took out a business card from it, and handed it to Zhang Wenjing seriously: "I heard a few days ago that Minister Zhang was going to resign, but our Huachen company lacks financial talents like you, so the little woman came to visit overnight and wanted to invite you to my company, I don't know if Lord Zhang looks down on my small temple?" ”

Zhang Wenjing didn't react at first, took the business card and saw the words "Huachen Petroleum" printed on it, and immediately cried and laughed: "Madam, you came in the middle of the night, don't you just want to ridicule me?" ”

Lu Bicheng covered the corners of his mouth and looked at him, snatched back the business card and stuffed it back into the small bag, and said angrily: "No kidding." I came here today to ask you, why did you resign after doing a good job? ”

"Sure enough, it's for this." Zhang Wenjing muttered secretly in his heart and said, "The vice president asked you to come, right?" Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I'm a little tired. Now that the country is on the right track, Xu Xiujun and Bei Zuyi can take the lead, so ...... Alright, my Minister Zhang, don't fight with me haha. Lu Bicheng didn't say whether Yang Qiu asked him to come, and said bluntly after interrupting: "Kuang Xukun has already told me about the quarrel you had with Chenhua that day. Chen Hua is really impatient in this matter, but the most important thing is to see the result in everything. Now that the currency reform has been basically completed, you know better than me how much gold and silver reserves the country has increased, so why bother? As for what happened back then, do you need to say more? There is no need to fake and sell national documents to force Yuan Shikai to death, and there is no means to drive away Sun Yat-sen, the Beiyang Kuomintang will definitely not decline, and how can it open its hands when there are many entanglements in state affairs? Cheng Cheng is not dead, how can the land reform bill shock people's hearts? If you don't die, if you don't purge officialdom, who can guarantee that there will be no yang and yin violations? If there are no such calculations, how can there be today's comprehensive promotion of the speed that dare not be followed? How many families are happy because of him?

Bicheng thought that there was no man in the world, but he was impressed by his methods! Wenjing, you have followed him for many years, and your knowledge is no worse than mine. Let me ask you? If he is truly selfish, what if he can't gain a foothold in the world with his means? ”

Zhang Wenjing lowered his head and listened quietly, his mind tumbling for a long time. In fact, he also knew that Yang Qiu had no second heart for the country, although he sacrificed the interests of some people, but it benefited more people and increased the country's strength rapidly. But his methods are really not on the table, especially the repeated use of the people's patriotism to achieve their goals, which makes him even more uneasy. You must know that he is actually the one who benefits the most after the Chengcheng bill, and after the support of hundreds of millions of peasants, the establishment of a real dictatorship is actually in the backhand!

This is even more evident in the silver crisis, leaving aside the parliament and the government, privately reaching an agreement with the British and American capital predators that no one knows about until now, and not informing the Prime Minister and the president until the matter is over, and not giving others a chance to speak at all! This is completely contrary to his ideals back then, so he was afraid, so he thought of resigning, he was afraid that the day would come, and he didn't know how to face it.

"By the way, he asked me to tell you. After 10 years, you can do whatever you want, if you want to jump into the Qinhuai River by yourself within 10 years! Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Lu Bicheng dropped a sentence and laughed himself, picked up the small bag and walked to the door and blinked deliberately: "Minister Zhang, you won't really jump the Qinhuai River, right?" If you jump, the newspapers will be lively tomorrow. The Minister of the Republic of China jumped into the river and the suspicious case chuckled. ”

Lu Bicheng leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, but Zhang Wenjing couldn't cry and laugh even more, and even had the urge to scold...... To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )rq！！！
