Chapter 65: What Can I Do?
In fact, Yang Xiaolin really restrained himself on the issue of dealing with Japan, if it weren't for the British suddenly making him feel that his goal should not be on Japan, he had no intention of armisting war with Japan at all, and beating him to death with a stick was his strategic intention at the beginning.
And now he has left Japan, as he himself said, like raising a dog, he now makes this dog stronger and more obedient, and in the future, whether he bullies others or others bully him, he will close the door first, and then release Japan.
Chen Tianhua obviously knows this idea about Japan, and Yang Xiaolin also knows that a catastrophe is about to break out in this world, and after the catastrophe, it must be people's reflection on the current period of time, when everyone begins to recall the pain, there is too much blood on their hands, and they may not be overcome.
Knowing is knowing, what he said was completely perfunctory to Chen Tianhua.
Chen Tianhua stared at him for a while, then sighed and said, "Alas, you are so stubborn, I know that it is useless to say it." ”
Yang Xiaolin suddenly took his foot off the table: "Then don't talk about it." You came just in time today, come with me to see Yuan Shikai, this old guy came back yesterday, and I didn't dare to see him alone. ”
Chen Tianhua smiled: "Scared? ”
Yang Xiaolin picked up the hat on the hanger: "I'm really a little scared." I'm not afraid that he will beat me, just his old arms and legs, if he doesn't knock me down and throw himself down, I can't afford to take this responsibility. You come with me, he won't do anything in front of you. ”
Lao Yuan only came back yesterday, and the eldest prince also came back. Although Yuan Keding is now China's ambassador to Timor-Leste, and it stands to reason that he should stay in Timor-Leste, in fact, Wu Jiatao on the Timor-Leste side has contacted Beijing for everything, and the embassies of the two sides are basically fictitious.
Lao Yuan came back this time very low-key, he didn't make it known all over the city like he used to, and he didn't arrange a group of people to pick him up at the dock in advance. When Yang Xiaolin and Chen Tianhua came to Lao Yuan's house together, Yuan Shikai was lying on the recliner in the courtyard. Covered with a thin silk quilt, squinting to enjoy the sun.
Yuan Keding saw Yang Xiaolin and them coming in, gently pushed Yuan Shikai's shoulder with his hand, and whispered something in his ear. But Lao Yuan didn't react at all, as if he was asleep, and he didn't move.
Yang Xiaolin's footsteps walked in front of him, and he didn't react in the slightest, which made the eldest prince's face embarrassed.
"Old man, old man?"
Yang Xiaolin shouted softly twice, but Yuan Shikai still closed his eyes and shook for a while. Everyone could see that he was pretending, and Yuan Keding was very anxious. immediately wanted to push Yuan Shikai up, but Chen Tianhua said: "Forget it, Yuan Gong may be asleep, let him rest for a while, let's talk next to him." ”
Old Yuan was still hanging there, and Yuan Keding accompanied them to the stone table next to them and sat down.
"Uncle, how is the old man's recovery?"
"It's not a big problem, the doctor said that you can't worry about it anymore in the future, just rest in peace. There are also some things to pay attention to in terms of diet, my father is too fat, and the foreigner said that he has problems in many parts of his body. ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Just rest assured, if you are not busy over there, you will stay in Beijing for a few more days." Come back often. ”
Yuan Keding nodded: "Things are going well in Timor-Leste, the framework of the air force has been formed, they are also developing well economically, and the policy of free trade has made many businessmen choose to trade with them." Low tariffs are even more attractive. Those guys are quite good at it, and if they can continue to develop steadily, it is estimated that it will not be long before East Timor will replace Kuala Lumpur. Become Asia's trade chokepoint. ”
A smile flashed in Yang Xiaolin's eyes, it seems that the eldest prince is not bad at everything, he just lacks some experience and courage, after all, a child of a family like him, he began to endorse when others were still playing with mud.
"Is there any impact on our economy?"
Yuan Keding put down the teacup: "I was about to tell you about this, there is tariff-free trade between us and Timor-Leste, which is equivalent to Western goods entering Timor-Leste is equivalent to entering China." It is not clear now, once East Timor develops into size, the prices of some of our imported goods will inevitably fall, which will be a shock to our native industry. Sister-in-law, you have to prepare in advance. ”
Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed, and he thought about it and said, "You come back and write a report on this matter and send it to the Prime Minister's Cabinet to remind Tang Shaoyi to pay attention." ”
When he said this, Lao Yuan's hand on the recliner moved unconsciously.
Yang Xiaolin didn't notice Yuan Shikai at all, and continued to say to Yuan Keding: "When you go to East Timor in a few days, bring a few helpers over." Things over there seem simple now, but there may be a big move in the future. ”
Yuan Ke nodded, but then he said a piece of news that surprised Yang Xiaolin: "Sister-in-law, Sun Wen has arrived in East Timor, and is now active in the Nanyang area. ”
Yang Xiaolin was taken aback: "Didn't he go to France?" Xingtai personally sent him on a ship to France. ”
Yuan Keding said: "I don't know about this, but Sun Wen is indeed in Nanyang now, and he is active among those overseas Chinese, and he has also looked for his father, but his father has not seen him." I also looked for Wu Jiatao, and I don't know what he said to Wu Jiatao. ”
Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed, and Yuan Keding suddenly felt that this was an opportunity for him to express himself: "Sister-in-law, if it is inconvenient for you, let me handle this matter, and finish him off in Timor-Leste, so that we can clean it up." ”
Don't look at the eldest prince's legs and feet, people are also people with means. Although his current ability can't make any waves in front of Yang Xiaolin, it is too simple to set up a Sun Wen in Timor-Leste.
Yang Xiaolin shook his head and said, "This kind of thing will be found in the future." ”
Yuan Keding was really stunned for a moment, he said two questions to Yang Xiaolin, Yang Xiaolin asked him to find Li Yuanhong, and the other asked him to find Tang Shaoyi, before the eldest prince could react to anything, Lao Yuan finally couldn't lie down, and his body was propped up from the recliner: "What?" Really doesn't care anymore? ”
Yang Xiaolin got up and helped him up, and said with a smile on his face: "How can a person hold power in his arms for the rest of his life, and he still has to let go when he should let go." ”
This was a pun, and Lao Yuan glared at him fiercely: "Your Yang method of fighting ghosts is ruthless enough." Lao Tzu's decades of family business were wiped out by you, and you said that I had to come forward in the matter of East Timor, why didn't I see you clearly in the first place? ”
Yang Xiaolin helped him sit down on the edge of the table, and said with a smile: "This incident happened suddenly, I didn't have time to discuss it with you, why don't you hit me a few times?" ”
Yuan Shikai's beard trembled: "The old man doesn't have the guts, Commander Yang, why don't you just kill me?" That's a lot of fun. ”
Chen Tianhua saw that Yuan Shikai's words were so serious, and immediately took it and said, "Yuan Gong." You are dissipated, your reputation in China is in full swing, even if you borrow a few of our courage, we dare not be disrespectful to you, but we have done this in a hurry. ”
Lao Yuan's crutch smashed on the ground: "Okay, don't say these nice things." ”
He knew that his reputation in China was really good, and Beiyang had really done a good job in developing industry in recent years, but this was not a reason for Yang Dagui to let him go.
The mistake was that he believed the wrong person, and he was fooled by Yang Dagui to Timor-Leste, and he handed over a huge family business to Jiang Zhiqing to watch. I valued him so much, and pulled him from a grassroots officer to the center of power, I really didn't expect that kid to start recognizing people without turning his face. Sell yourself so simply!
If it weren't for him, there were people in Beiyang who were rich and organized, and deeply rooted in the northwest, how could they let Yang beat the ghost so lightly?
Yang Xiaolin said at this time: "Yuan Gong." Do you really want to know why I don't move you and Sun Wen? ”
Yuan Shikai nodded, Yang Xiaolin didn't move, he had another explanation, but he really couldn't figure out why he would let Sun Wen go. In his opinion. Sun Wen should have no chance of leaving China alive. At least if he had done it, it would have been done like that.
"There is no other reason, I know that you and Mr. Sun Wen also want to make China rich and strong, this is what we have in common, our differences are very clear when I first met you, we take different paths."
Yang Xiaolin's waist straightened: "So you guys are in my way, I'll just move you away." I don't want to do things too much, and secondly, if I kill you, you'll always think I'm wrong, and I want you to live and see how I get down this path. ”
Lao Yuan stared at him for a while, and after a long time, he let out a sigh: "If I don't look at it, what can I do now?" ”
It's a very helpless statement, but it's also very practical. Yang Xiaolin really didn't know how to comfort him.
In fact, Lao Yuan doesn't need to be relieved, people like him who have played politics all his life have experienced a lot of ups and downs. He's just a little unwilling, if he is ten years younger, he will never give up like Sun Wen, if you let me look at me, I won't look at it, I'll go out and find my own way.
But now it really doesn't work.
Yuan Shikai got up from the stool: "If it's okay at noon, let's eat here, steamed sea fish." The doctor told me to eat more fish and less meat, especially deep-sea fish, which is good for my health. I thought that I would trouble you Commander Yang to use a warship to get a few for me in the future, but I didn't expect that this time I would come back and I could buy them in the market in Beijing. Thank you very much. ”
The corners of Yang Xiaolin's mouth smiled, this is the tangible benefit for the common people after we get Japan.
The average Chinese have not seen what those fish look like in the deep sea for many years, and only some royal families and rich people can taste them before the Sino-Japanese War, and only inside the palace after the Sino-Japanese War.
Chinese merchant ships going to sea had to go through the inspection of the Japanese fleet, not to mention the fishing boats, and we couldn't catch fish.
After the victory over Japan, our fishing boats can finally fish in the open ocean, and at present, these deep-sea fish are extremely expensive, just like fruits from the South Seas, ordinary people can only look at the appearance of fish, and only people like Lao Yuan can afford to buy them.
But as our navy grows stronger, and more and more merchant ships and fishing boats can protect us, and as we go farther and farther, the price of fruit will definitely fall, and the same will be true for these fish, which will one day appear on every table like an ordinary dish.
