At the banquet, Elaline was chatting happily with other ladies and ladies about fashion. Anyway, women, it's always okay with this kind of thing.

But just when a group of people were chatting happily, Elaline suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind him, and when he looked back, it was Yan Shaozheng staggering over.

"Why did you drink so much!" Smelling Yan Shao's full body of wine, Elaline looked a little surprised.

Like Yan Shao, she is a person who doesn't like alcohol very much, and she usually tries not to touch alcohol as much as possible, but now that Yan Shao has become like this, Eleno will naturally be surprised.

"Hehe..."With a smirk, Yan Shao staggered two steps forward, but maybe he drank too much, but one of them staggered two steps and fell in front of Elanon, just like a very ordinary drunk.

As the protagonist of the entire banquet, Yan Shao was naturally treated by tens of thousands of people, not to mention that in order to protect him, there were several bodyguards next to him, so when he saw Yan Shao about to fall to the ground, these people were all shocked.

But before they could rush forward to help Yan Shao, Elaline had already stepped forward to help him up, and when they saw this scene, the others hurriedly stopped, just looking at Yan Shao's drunken appearance, Elaline sighed slightly.

"Ugh..."

"Sigh what..."

“？” Hearing this voice, Eleno was slightly stunned, because this sentence was said by Yan Shao, who was supported by him. And Yan Shao, who should have been drunk, did not have the slightest drunkenness on his face at this time. On the contrary, the whole person seems to be very energetic.

After noticing this, Elaline suddenly understood, and as usual, Yan Shao was pretending to be drunk.

It's just that there were many people who could make Yan Shao pretend to be drunk in the past, but there are few at this time. So she couldn't react for a while.

Thinking of this, Elaine's thin eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately helped Yan Shao to the chair next to him, and stopped those who wanted to come over to help, just let them get something sober.

Naturally, due to this, those who want to follow up to toast can only find someone with a wine glass.

Wiping his face with a wet towel, Yan Shao pretended to be a little more energetic.

"Whew. It's so much better..."

Since the announcement of the 'political consultation' was issued, powerful factions from all provinces have sent representatives to Beijing. Isn't it said that the essence of Chinese culture is the wine table culture? —————— although it is also said to be dross...

China's wine table culture is broad and profound, and there are many wise sayings that can be summed up. But if you summarize it simply, it can actually be summed up in one sentence.

If someone else toasts, if you don't drink, you won't save face. ’

Originally, at this time in China, there were not many people who needed Yan Shao to save face. However, this banquet was specially used to entertain powerful factions from all over the world. Now that Yan Shao needs to use them, it's not good to really give no face at all, so he had to reluctantly drink the first cup...

And then...

Maybe it's really been like this for several years, so Yan Shao forgot one thing, that is, by doing so, he committed the biggest taboo on the wine table, that is, if you don't want to drink, don't drink a glass, if you drink the first glass. Then this cup is for the second, third, fourth.............

After reaching the most sluggish, Yan Shao couldn't refuse even if he wanted to...

I can't help it. Yan Shao can only avoid it by pretending to be drunk, after all, they can't force a drunk person to continue to accompany them...

Ahem, that's what happened...

"You..." sniffing the smell of wine on Yan Shao's body, Elaline couldn't help but tap his forehead with his finger. Be sure to give me a good bath when you go back..."

"Don't worry, madam...", noticing that everyone else had already focused on the banquet, Yan Shao grinned at Elaino. By the way, how is the loan going? ”

At this time, it was already November, and almost one month had passed since the announcement of the plan, and the private banks had already received a lot of loans for loans, and now Yan Shao was naturally very concerned about this matter.

"It's okay," he said, looking down and thinking about it, Elaline recalled the information he had just read. At present, there are many loan applications received by banks, but they are generally concentrated in some relatively easy projects, such as ash, textiles, machine grinding, salt making, sugar production, mining and other profitable industries, and other industries such as chemicals, papermaking, matches, etc.

"It's a bit biased..."Touching his nose, Yan Shao smiled bitterly.

"Yes, this is normal, after all, it is human nature to pursue profits, these are industries with relatively low profits, and there are naturally fewer people who are willing to pay attention..."

"Textiles, machine grinding, mining, etc. are originally very good to make a living, there are naturally a lot of people who are willing to do this business, and there are more ash, although the sales of ash are not very good now, but the government is ready to build roads in the provinces The matter has spread, and the demand for ash will be great in the future.

In this way, textiles, machine grinding and mining are very easy to make money, and others such as papermaking, matches, etc., although they are used, but the profits are not very high. Especially in the paper industry, because a particularly important point is that there are not many literate people in China during this period, and there may not be one in twenty, and the profitability is naturally relatively poor.

As for the ash ...

Originally, the profitability of the industry was not very high, but the government has already reported that it will build roads in the provinces, improve transportation, and increase the construction of infrastructure. Considering that the government is not short of money now, this will definitely be a big project, and there is no need to think about the sale of ash or something...

Nature. Some people have suggested that the government use asphalt to pave roads, after all, asphalt is somewhat stronger than ash pavement, but after some consideration, this proposal was rejected by Yan Shao.

No way. At this time, China did not produce oil, and if it wanted asphalt, it had to buy it from the United States or Mexico on the other side of the ocean, and the cost was too high for the ash. And if the ash is used, it can be used to stimulate the development of the ash industry, on the contrary, if the asphalt is used, there is no benefit to the development of the ash industry, and even in addition to providing a lot of jobs. It is also not beneficial to China's industrial development in the slightest.

Just when Yan Shao and Elaline were chatting secretly, Cai Ye suddenly walked over with a wine glass.

"The Great President? How's it going? ”

Seeing someone coming with a wine glass, Elaline frowned slightly. I want to tell him that Yan Shaozheng is drunk.

Who knew that before she could speak, Yan Shao had already beckoned to him. "It's nothing, I just pretended to be drunk." Hearing Yan Shao say this, Elano was immediately angry. However, hearing Yan Shao's words, Cai Ye was dumbfounded.

"Pretending to be drunk?"

"yes. No way, I really don't like alcohol and the like..."Beckoning to Cai Yi, Yan Shao motioned for him to come over, and Cai Yi obediently pulled a chair next to Yan Shao and sat down.

"How's it going, are you satisfied with this banquet?"

In the whole banquet, Yan Shao paid the most attention to Cai Yi, so his attitude was naturally different, and after seeing this, Eleno also kept silent, just sat quietly beside Yan Shao.

"It's a little too lively...", smiled helplessly. Cai Yi shook his head.

"Hah..."Yan Shao smiled.

It's just that when Yan Shao wanted to talk more with Cai Yi, maybe his current 'posture' was too arrogant. In addition, he was the protagonist of the whole banquet, and he was suddenly discovered that he was pretending to be drunk.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people had already gathered around, and everyone was holding a wine glass in their hands.

"It's too unrighteous to pretend to be drunk..."

"Yes, yes, President, quick, drink this cup!"

More than a dozen wine glasses were placed in front of Yan Shao, so that Yan Shao had to taste the pain of eating his own fruits.

It's just that just when he wanted to find a reinforcement, he found that Cai Ye had already quietly left, as for Elainor? After getting up from the chair, Elaino's lips opened slightly, and with 10 years of contact, Yan Shao quickly understood the meaning...

"Well deserved!"

————————————————————

Noticing Yan Shao's predicament, Cai Yi smiled slightly.

Although he has just arrived in Beijing and has not had much contact with Yan Shao, Yan Shao has already left a lot of impression on him, coupled with some previous experiences in Anhui and other places, Cai Ye already has a deep affection for Yan Shao...

"Maybe you can really think about that offer..."

Thinking like this, Cai Ye suddenly felt a little unwell, and couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and this scene happened to fall in Yan Shao's eyes.

"This..."Yan Shao, who was a little embarrassed when he saw this scene, his heart suddenly tightened, because this scene reminded him of something. I remember, Cai Ye seems to have died of illness? ”

He didn't know exactly what kind of disease Cai Ye had, because Yan Shao didn't listen carefully when he was studying this history—————— not to mention that even if he listened carefully, the textbook was so thick, it was impossible to even talk about any illness in a person's life.

So Yan Shao just remembered that during the Protectorate War, Cai Ye seemed to have died of illness, and he was still very young when he died...

In fact, to a certain extent, Yan Shao attaches more importance to Cai Ye than Jiang Baili. The reason is also very simple, after all, the current Jiang Baili has just come into contact with military affairs, no matter how strong his own ability is, I am afraid that he will not be able to use it in a short time.

On the other hand, Cai Ye is different.

As the governor of Yunnan, the entire Yunnan army was built by him, if it weren't for the appearance of Yan Shao, at this time, Cai Yi was afraid that he would have led the army to help Yuan Shikai suppress the Sichuan uprising.

"It seems that we have to find a way..."Thinking so in his heart, Yan Shao took the wine glass in the hand of the representative of Fengtian, perhaps because he had other things in his heart, he actually drank all the wine in the cup without thinking about it, and this heroic gesture suddenly caused a round of applause...

————————————————————

In Beijing, Yan Shao specially arranged a room for the representatives of various provinces, including Cai Yi. Cai Yi had just put on his clothes and was about to go out for a walk. Suddenly, his squire walked in.

"The Governor..."

"What's the matter?" Unconcerned, Cai Yi straightened his clothes and asked.

"That's right. Someone from the presidential palace came to the door, saying that they wanted to invite the governor to go to the presidential palace, and the president had an urgent matter to see you..."

Although the new presidential palace has not yet been built at this time, people have become accustomed to calling the manor where Yan Shao lives now the presidential palace, and even the group of people brought from Yunnan with Cai Yi are the same.

"The president has something to see me?" Cai Ye was a little strange, but still nodded. "Alright, let's go..."

It wasn't until Cai Ye walked out of his residence that he found out. The car was already parked outside the door.

Although it was a little strange that he called himself early in the morning what was going on, Cai Ye still got into the car with his attendants and rushed to the direction of the presidential palace.

At the same time, the situation when he was in the special car of the presidential palace. It also fell into the eyes of the representatives of the provinces.

At yesterday's banquet, Yan Shao's attitude towards Cai Ye was seen by many people, of course, if it was just like this, you could also say that it was because Cai Ye's status was high enough. The problem is that this time, in addition to Cai Yi, there is also Cheng Dequan who is also here. And Yan Shao's attitude towards Cheng Dequan ......... It can only be said that it is more courteous. It is completely different from Cai Yibi.

Now early in the morning, Yan Shao actually sent someone to pick Cai Ye over, which naturally made people whisper.

"Looks like we're really close..."

"Could it be..."

"Quite possibly..."

"Maybe that Cai Ye has already taken refuge in Yan Shao behind his back..."

The whispers were endless, but these Cai Ye definitely couldn't hear them. At this time, he was thinking about what Yan Shao had to ask him to go to, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason...

In this way, after driving the car for a while, Cai Ye finally came to Yan Shao's residence...

Not long after coming to Beijing, in fact, Cai Ye also came to Yan Shao's residence for the first time, so when he saw Yan Shao's residence for the first time. Cai Ye was suddenly surprised.

"Such a manor......... How much does it cost? ”

The estate has a huge footprint, as well as lakes, gardens, lawns, pools, woods and other decorations on the estate. And so many places he didn't see. All of this made Cai Yi think about how much it would cost him to build all this in front of him.

From a certain point of view, Yan Shao's current manor is more expensive than the two in Wuhu and Anqing combined. It's not surprising, after all, those two places are temporary residences, and if nothing else, I'm afraid I'll have to live here for a lifetime, and the treatment is naturally completely different...

"Who knows...", the black-clothed young man sitting in the co-pilot smiled.

Cai Yi shook his head, in his opinion, there is no need to be so extravagant and wasteful in the place where he lives, and with so much money, isn't it good to take it out to run an industry and an education?

But...

Thinking that Yan Shao has already taken out more than one billion, Cai Yi doesn't know what to say, after all, people have already paid more than one billion, you can't let people take out the money to build a house...

"Ugh..."

————————————————————

It didn't take long for Cai Ye to enter the mansion under the guidance of several maids, but in the living room of the mansion, in addition to Yan Shao, Cai Ye also saw a few eccentric people.

"These are..."

Just when Cai Yi was strange in his heart, he saw Yan Shao pointing at himself with his finger and said in his mouth. "That's the man, I'll give him to you!"

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Cai Yi was shocked in his heart, and thought that he was going to be unfavorable to himself, but who knew that after the few people surrounded him, he didn't do anything else, just looked at him, and then smiled. "General, please come here and check it out with us..."

"Check?" Cai Ye was stunned for a moment, and his clenched fist was also loosened. "What to check..."

"Of course it's a physical examination..."Now the doctor is also strange, after all, Yan Shao is looking for them to see a doctor, why don't the patients themselves know what's going on?

Fortunately, at this time, Yan Shao stepped forward to explain, and the misunderstanding was cleared. "That's right, yesterday I saw that Brother Songpa was not in good health, so I made a special trip to find a few doctors to come over and want to give Brother Songpa a check-up. Let's see what's going on......... Brother Songpa, please rest assured, these are all specially invited by me when I ran a hospital in Anhui, and there is absolutely no rival in China in terms of medical treatment..."

Heard Yan Shao say this. Cai Ye was even more strange, but he finally relaxed his vigilance, and blamed himself for making a fuss in his heart.

After all, if Yan Shaozhen wanted to do anything to him, he didn't need to bring him to the manor at all, just in the car or somewhere else.

In addition, Cai Ye really felt that his health was not very good recently, so he also cooperated with those doctors for diagnosis and treatment.

After walking to the side where Yan Shao was ready, Cai Ye sat on the sofa. Cooperate with the doctors. Since the patient in front of them was handed over to them by Yan Shao, those doctors also examined them very carefully, and it only took a short time to get the results.

It doesn't matter if the result is not diagnosed or treated. After diagnosis and treatment, it was discovered that Cai Ye was suffering from laryngeal disease, which was commonly referred to as tuberculosis in later generations.

When they came to this conclusion, both Yan Shao and Cai Ye were shocked in their hearts.

Because in this era, even if tuberculosis cannot be said to be a terminal disease, it is actually not very bad. Basically, it is very difficult for people who have this disease to recover. If you don't get it right, you can even die.

Yan Shao also understood why Cai Ye would die young, suffering from this disease and constantly fighting, it is a strange thing not to die.

But it was also because of this that Yan Shao was embarrassed. It's true that he wants to reuse Cai, but it would be a bit inhumane to let a person with tuberculosis continue to work for him...

Fortunately, at this time, the doctor took the initiative to explain, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Rest assured, this disease is not terminal. As long as it is detected promptly and with the right treatment. In addition, there is better nutrition and recuperation, and generally speaking, it will not lead to death...", but if it were really as easy as it is said, there would not be so many patients with tuberculosis who died in history, but as doctors, they always have to give some confidence to patients.

"That's it..."Yan Shao nodded, in fact, he should be glad that these doctors were not quacks at this time, because in history, Cai Ye was killed by quacks.

Xiao Fengxian, we all know this, in 'Let the Bullets Fly', she is said to be a famous Jingshi, what is the reputation of the whole country?

Cough...

That's what it means...

Of course, theoretically speaking, Xiao Fengxian should have nothing to do with Cai Yi's death, let alone the quack, but in fact, there is indeed some indirect relationship.

In history, when the Protectorate War was about to end, due to long-term hard work, Cai Yi's illness was already very serious, so when Cai Yi led the army into Luzhou and prepared to occupy Chengdu. Liang Qichao specially telegraphed Asmi, a German doctor in Chongqing, to rush to Luzhou to treat him.

Of course, diagnosis and treatment are nothing, after all, if you are sick, you have to see a doctor, you have to take medicine, the problem is that this guy is a real quack...

Because Asmi took plum repellent therapy at that time, and injected Cai Ye with a shot of "Sherfosan", which was a new drug 606 invented in Germany at that time, but what does this have to do with the story of Xiaofengxian?

The German doctor Asmi used the anti-syphilis therapy is a traditional treatment for syphilis, we all know what syphilis is, at that time Chinese officials prostituted prostitutes, syphilis is very common, and Cai Yi has a story with Xiao Fengxian that has been spread, and the symptoms are similar to syphilis, the German doctor who practiced medicine in China obviously relied on his own experience with Chinese officials, subjectively judged that Cai Yi was suffering from syphilis, and Cai Ye also admitted to him that he had a relationship with Xiao Fengxian, so a serious misdiagnosis occurred...

606 was invented in Germany at that time, it was a very rare drug, and it was the best nemesis of syphilis that was prevalent in the whole world at that time.

The most rear...

We all know the results of Cai Yi...

Fortunately, Cai Yi's tuberculosis was not serious at this time, and there was no romance with Xiao Fengxian, of course, the most important thing is that these people invited by Yan Shao are not quacks, otherwise...

I'm afraid Cai Ye will die young like in history...

The U.S. ban on the export of smelting equipment seems to be a matter of late 15 years, right? I remember that it seemed to be the end of 15 to the beginning of 16 years, because at that time, Hanyeping Company had imported equipment from the United States, and it had been negotiated, but at the end of 15 years, it was delayed because of this incident...

Ahem, of course, maybe I'm misremembering... (To be continued......)
