Lao Yuan knew at a glance that his son had hit a wall. In fact, his own son doesn't have much hope, he knows what those two guys are, he just wants not to lose his face too much. At this point, he still believes in Yang Xiaolin, and believes that as long as there is a suitable position, Yang Dagui will make an arrangement for Yuan Keding.

"You haven't been in the house for more than half a month since you came back, and I still have something I want to ask you and I don't have a chance, so let's ask together today."

Yang Xiaolin said: "You say. ”

"Shanxi Yan Xishan, what are you going to do with him? The Shanxi troops have also been reorganized by you, and the people over there are not very stable, if there is nothing wrong with him, you can let him go. ”

Commander Yang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after returning to Beijing, Yang Xiaolin began to reorganize the troops involved in the turmoil. For those in the Beiyang, the navy, and the revolutionary party, they all have different policies, and they have been dealt with almost in the past half a month.

But the problem is that Yan Xishan is not a navy, nor a revolutionary party, nor is he Lao Yuan's descendant Beiyang, and he can't rely on the tripartite policy! So I'm still in prison! If it weren't for Yuan Shikai's reminder, Yang Xiaolin really forgot about this person, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Yuan Gong, I'll let him go back immediately." ”

Lao Yuan saw Yang beating the ghost and knew that this guy had really forgotten, there was nothing to do, just think about it. Yuan Shikai put down the dishes and chopsticks and said softly: "That's it, if you don't have any work after eating, let's go together, I want to take him out in person." ”

Yan Xishan is different from those generals in Beiyang, those people in Beiyang are all eating on Lao Yuan's boat, and no one should blame anyone when the ship sinks, but Yan Xishan came from Shanxi to help! As the former leader of the green forest in the Northeast, Yang Xiaolin can understand Lao Yuan's approach: "Cheng, we will go together later." ”

Yan Xishan really couldn't think about it in prison, he was really depressed in that battle! mobilized Sun Chuanfang's troops to help, and he didn't think that he would be able to defeat Wu Zhaolin on the other side. Yan Xishan felt that Lao Yuan's arrangement was not wrong at all, he attracted Wu Zhaolin's troops, and when the troops from the north attacked, it would be absolutely devastating!

However, as soon as the northern troops appeared, they wiped out his troops in a devastating manner, and even when Zhang Biao's pistol was pointed at his head, he still couldn't understand what was happening.

What made him even more depressed was that he had been in prison for more than half a month, and the people who had been arrested with him had gone out one by one, only he remained in the cell, and no one interrogated him about anything. It's really a bit unscientific. You guys have nothing to do when they fight, and I'm still locked up when I help, so you can give me a happy word if you live or die.

Also, when I came, the people in my hometown explained clearly that the purpose of what Shanxi wanted to win in this gambling game was very obvious. Now that I've lost, what's going on at home? Yan Xishan knew that behind him was the fate of a family, and his failure meant that his family would be in crisis.

Looking at the already dark sky outside the window, Yan Xishan squatted in the corner of the prison and sighed. He really couldn't understand why Yang beat the ghost and didn't even send someone to interrogate him. Did they lose a clean game in this game?

At this time, the sound of the cell door being opened sounded behind him, and Yan Xishan subconsciously looked back to see who was going to be released, but after meeting Yuan Shikai's fat body, he suddenly got up from the ground as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "President." Great President! ”

Lao Yuan waved at him on the steps, signaling him not to get excited. Yuan Shikai's eyes are not very good now, and the lights in this prison are not good, and he is very slow to go down the steps with a cane. Step by step seems a bit laborious.

Yang came down from behind and grabbed his arm: "Gong Yuan, slow down." ”

Yuan Shikai walked down and came to Yan Xishan's prison door, and Yang Xiaolin motioned for the guards to open the prison door. Lao Yuan squeezed in from the door: "Baichuan, you are tired and suffering." ”

Yan Xishan really didn't know what to say, he was only in his twenties now, and he said that this commander of Shanxi was actually a rich second generation who relied on his family's background and had some ability, plus a little luck.

He hadn't cried for a long time, but now his eyes were red, and the tears were about to come down, and he choked up and said, "President, I've really done my best!" It's just that I can't do anything, so what should I do in the future? ”

Lao Yuan patted him lightly on the shoulder: "This time I'm tired of you, don't worry, this is Commander Yang, he is here today specifically for your business." ”

Yan Xishan followed Yuan Shikai's hand and looked at Yang Xiaolin, Yang Xiaolin was not wearing a military uniform, and to be honest, Yang Jiang's appearance was really not very rich, and with a scar on his face, he looked like an outlaw.

"Yang, Commander Yang?"

Yang Xiaolin and Yan Xishan met for the first time, and he smiled: "This is not the place to talk, in fact, I haven't wanted to lock you up, I really forgot about you for a while, let's go out and talk about it." ”

Yuan Shikai also smiled: "We have already ordered a table in the teahouse outside, which can be regarded as washing the dust for Baichuan, let's go." ”

Regarding the question of how to deal with Yan Xishan, Yang Xiaolin had already discussed with Yuan Shikai on the way, and Lao Yuan interceded for Yan Xishan. In fact, even if Lao Yuan didn't say it, Yang Xiaolin didn't plan to do anything to him. Shanxi's army has been reorganized by itself, and it is impossible for Yan Xishan to return to the army, and the condition for Yang Xiaolin to let go of Beiyang in this turmoil is that all military personnel who are involved in Beiyang must go far away, either leaving the army or staying away from Beijing.

It's the same for Yan Xishan, it's impossible to continue to let him go back to Shanxi to lead the troops, but not only is land reform going to be implemented in that part of Shanxi, but China's tank base is also built there, and the future air base Yang Xiaolin is also going to be placed in the northwest, so for the sake of stability, this rich second generation still needs to be appeased.

"Baichuan, after you return to Shanxi, tell the squires in Shanxi that the promise I made has been recognized by Commander Yang, and some factories can be handed over to you to do, so you don't have any psychological burden."

Inside the teahouse, Yan Xishan was stuffing a piece of pastry into his mouth, and when he heard Lao Yuan say this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Really? ”

Lao Yuan glared at him: "You think who of the two of us will lie to you?" ”

Yan Xishan immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stood up and wiped his hands: "No, Gong Yuan, Commander Yang, I didn't mean that. I would just like to thank you very much and thank the central government for your support to our Shanxi! ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled and waved him to sit down: "Okay, we will give the policy to Shanxi, and I can talk to you about it, since I built the industrial base in Shanxi, I plan to develop the economy there." In the future, in the implementation of the policy, I hope that your local government can be consistent with the central government, of course, when we find that our policy is not appropriate. I hope you will say it right away. ”

Yan Xishan Nuonuo sat down: "Alas! Commander Yang was relieved. ”

Yang Xiaolin suddenly asked: "While the industrial base is developing, you must also pay attention to two aspects, first, you must not sacrifice farmland, and second, you must not damage the environment. ”

Yan Xishan's cheeks blinked a few times, he understood that he couldn't destroy the farmland, but he couldn't destroy the environment, what kind of environment was Commander Yang talking about? He really didn't quite understand. This idea is a bit ahead of its time.

"Commander, what do you mean by bad environment?"

This question made Yang Xiaolin stunned for a moment, to be honest, he really couldn't explain the specific concept of environmental protection. I was not in the mood to tell Yan Xishan what environmental protection was.

"Anyway. You can't destroy the forest and don't pollute the water. Baichuan, what do you think about land reform there? ”

Yang Xiaolin really wanted to know what the landlord class thought about land reform, because it did violate their fundamental interests. Yan Xishan hesitated, as if he was thinking of some wording. The old Yuan next to him knocked on his crutch: "Tell the truth." ”

Yan Xishan said: "In fact, we have also studied the policies of land reform, and we have also read the specific plan issued by Mr. Yang Du before. To be honest, although unwilling. However, everyone knows that this land cannot be changed, and the first thing to do to change the dynasty has always been to equalize the land, which everyone is prepared for, and the government can take the money out to buy it and give us the road to do business, there is nothing to say. But there are two things that concern us at the moment. ”

Yang Xiaolin sat up straight: "You say." ”

"The first point is, can the government come up with this large amount of money? In fact, I also paid attention to the pilot project in Langfang, and the people's distrust of the government comes from the fact that they don't believe that the government has so much money. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded after hearing this, what Yan Xishan said was the truth, land reform is a good thing, but the good things in Langfang are not done well, and the fundamental reason is distrust.

Yan Xishan continued: "There is a second point, that is, after doing business, you said that taxes are collected according to income, and it is said that the maximum tax amount reaches eighty percent, which is really unbearable, everyone has not done business, and the tax is so high that many people will not dare to take this first step with money." ”

Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed, he had never done business, but he knew that in fact, doing business was the same as doing other things, and it was really important to be able to take the first step. Just like the migrant workers in China in later generations, there was a person in a village who left the village and came back wearing bright clothes, and many people immediately followed him.

If their high taxes really make many landlords who get their money prefer to put their money in the bank to eat interest, then the loss will be too great.

Lao Yuan coughed lightly: "Xiaolin, what Baichuan said makes some sense, you think about it." Don't take too big a step at once. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I will find Yang Du and Sheng Huaixuan to renegotiate, and then invite some merchants in Beijing to renegotiate." ”

This is the merit of Yang Xiaolin, he is not democratic, but he is definitely not authoritarian. In some things, he dares to delegate power to let his brother do it, he doesn't care if there is an omission, I will change it immediately if it is wrong, and stop it immediately if it is not suitable.

That's how he came all the way from the Northeast. Yan Xishan on the side was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly a very peculiar feeling came to his heart, Yang Xiaolin admitted the mistake of the policy so happily, if he happily agreed to revise it, this really changed the image of Yang Dagui in his mind.
