    Wang Geng poured the beans out of the bamboo tube in one go, telling Lao Duan his original intention of appointing him and his role, as well as his plan to win over the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China to form a team.

    Duan Qirui pondered and said nothing after listening, thinking in his mind how to persuade Xu Shuzheng to give up the fight for the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China.

    Old Duan thought that Wang Geng was right. The side effect of Xu Shuzheng's dominance in the Anhui Clique was that he was self-centered. Excessive arrogance was never a good way to control his subordinates. Wang Geng's positioning of himself in the Anhui Clique was obviously in line with Lao Duan's wishes. You  You are just a catfish. If you develop well in the future, you will be the second Xu Shuzheng. As long as you know how to advance and retreat, and with you and Xu Shuzheng as your two right-hand men who restrict each other and must cooperate, your wish to unify China will have a chance to be realized as soon as possible!

    "Prime Minister! Are you worried about Lu Ding and the others? Compared with Chen Jintao, these people have much better conduct in all aspects. You don't have to worry about whether they will be the weaklings in the future. I told them  Yes, as long as we unite under the banner of the Prime Minister, there is plenty of room for them to use. I drank too much last night, and I had a crush on these guys. You can¡¯t believe it.  Don¡¯t they still believe me?¡± Wang Geng showed his trump card!

    "Already accepted? Did you pay attention to this when you came back from studying abroad at West Point? The efficiency is not low, and yes, do as the Romans do! You have said so much, and you just want to build your own team for the country and me, right?  If I don't support you now, are you going to give up and leave?" Duan Qirui looked into Wang Geng's eyes and said seriously.

    "Prime Minister, you don't trust those who employ you, and you don't trust those who doubt you. Since I have surrendered to you to fight for my ideals, my sworn brothers will naturally follow the Prime Minister's lead. Of course, I do not deny that the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China will cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Communications in the future.  The banks have formed a competitive relationship, but it is a healthy competition. No matter how capable Xu Shuzheng is, he is a subordinate of the Prime Minister after all. If he has all the military, government, financial and personnel matters in his hands, it will not be his own blessing, nor the blessing of the Anhui Province! "

    Whatever Wang Geng said, he didn't hide it. Even in front of Xu Shuzheng's face, this guy dared to take it seriously. How else could he say that a gentleman is magnanimous? In Wang Geng's mind, for Xu Shuzheng,  He only conspired against his enemies when he conspired against his own people. At this moment, Xu Shuzheng would never be classified as an enemy by him.

    "There's no way out of this mess in Beijing Banknote. So far, there's no way to solve it. Those new friends from the Bank of China and Lu Ding, the director of the Taxation Department, are they really that capable? That's great! The Ministry of Finance  The position of deputy chief can be given to Lu Ding, but you have to guarantee for them that the Beijing banknote arrangement problem will be solved within one year! Do you dare to accept this military order? "

    Although the Prime Minister has long decided to accept Wang Geng¡¯s recommendation for this personnel arrangement, he does not want him to feel that the matter is too easy, so he has imposed such harsh conditions on the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China!

    Wang Geng was complaining in his heart, Damn, it took Zhang Jiayao five years in his previous life to take advantage of the opportunity after the First World War for China to become a victorious country, especially on the basis of the five-year deferment of the Gengzi indemnity, and to recover the funds raised through the issuance of public bonds.  With the banknotes deposited by Bank of China and Bank of Communications outside, Lao Duan actually wants to finish this mess by himself within a year!

    "What? No? If you can't, replace Xu Shuzheng's people as soon as possible!" Duan Qirui was obviously motivating the general!

    "Prime Minister, since you said so, what else do I have to bargain with? However, for the banknotes issued by the Bank of Communications, the Ministry of Communications and the Bank of Communications must find their own solutions. I can promise on behalf of the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China that if the government and cabinet get the  With the support, we will resolve the recycling and sorting of all old banknotes issued by the Bank of China within one year!" Wang Geng said he would not bargain, but in the end he took out the banknotes from the Bank of Communications first!

    "You guy! The Ministry of Finance is in charge of the country's fiscal revenue and expenditure, okay, okay! Let them figure out the Bank of Communications matters themselves. Is this settled? I want to see you and your brother.  How capable we are! As long as I can support you in this matter of Beijing Banknotes, you don¡¯t have to worry about Xu Shuzheng, I will convince him!"

    Duan Qirui squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Geng in front of him, as if he had seen Xu Shuzheng back then, the same youth, the same boldness, but the difference was that Wang Geng seemed to be more open-minded and direct, and both of them were friendly when getting along with him.  There is no need to guess what the other person is thinking, unlike Youzheng, who is too extreme when he is extreme, and sometimes his scholarly atmosphere is too strong.

    "It's a deal! Just wait and see! But when will Lu Ding's position be announced?" Wang Geng smiled happily, but he did not forget to finalize Lu Ding's job.

    "Seeing that you are in a hurry, it will only take a few days. I will say hello to Youzheng and Chen Jintao later, and let him act as the Deputy Minister of Finance in his capacity as the Director of the Department of Taxation, and then find an opportunity to transfer.Right, when Chen Jintao is replaced as the chief, and he is asked to act as the deputy chief, as long as he can achieve results in all aspects, the position of chief will naturally be his!  "Duan Qirui is also unambiguous!

    "Okay! So, Prime Minister, you have many things to do, so I won't waste your time. Japanese Minister Hayashi Gonsuke made an appointment with me for tea in the afternoon at Dongjiaomin Lane. Is there anything you need to tell me?" Wang Geng stood up and planned to leave, speaking smoothly.  He also reported his whereabouts. Anyway, as long as Xia Shan and Duan Tiezhu were by his side for a day, his movements would not be hidden from Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng.

    "Lin Kwonsuke? This man has a gentle appearance and has been living in China for more than 20 years. I think his Chinese is more authentic than Japanese. There is nothing to worry about. Although you are only the supervisor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' diplomatic relations with the United States, you still  As for my national policy adviser, if you have the skills, use him. It would be best if you can squeeze out more loans and assistance! I think the Japanese government has given him authorization, and he is here to test your bottom line!  You guy, just don¡¯t fall for the sugar-coated bullet! Go ahead!¡± Duan Qirui waved his hand and dismissed Wang Geng!

    Wang Geng was in a great mood after implementing Lu Ding's matter in front of Lao Duan. Obviously Lao Duan was well aware of his efforts to win over and form his own team, and was optimistic about the success. As for how to convince Xu Shuzheng, this headache was left to him.  Lao Duan will handle it by himself. If he has to accommodate the Deputy Chief of Army in everything, he will not be able to do anything. This round, I have a small victory!

    Hayashi Gonsuke was born in 1860, and his surname was Takekage. He was a native of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. He was a late bloomer. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University at the age of 28 and was admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the same year, he served as a consul-at-large at the Japanese Consulate in Qingdao, China.  In addition to serving as minister to Korea from 1899 to 1906, this guy stayed in China for a full twenty-four years and served as minister to China twice. During the Reform Movement of 1898 in 1898, he was the one who rescued Kang Liang from exile.  In Japan, Emperor Guangxu was able to save his life because he persuaded the great powers to put pressure on Cixi.

    "Supervisor Wang, thank you for being invited to come. It's a great honor to come!" Wang Geng, who rushed to the Sakura House not far away from the Japanese Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane, was warmly and thoughtfully led into the elegant room in the backyard by Mamasang. The Japanese Embassy  Minister Hua Lin Quanzhu, dressed in an exquisite kimono, respectfully greeted Wang Geng personally at the door of the elegant room.

    "Oh! Minister Lin, you have a nice place. The courtyard has an elegant environment with small bridges and flowing water. It's a good time for spring to shine brightly, and Mama-sang is so young and beautiful! I will have to come here often in the future!" Wang Geng said, standing by his side.  Mama-san, who was leading the way, had a handful behind the kimono, which provoked Mama-san, named Kazuko, to scream in surprise. She turned around with a red face while hiding, pretending to hit Wang Geng but couldn't do it, with a shy look.  Both Wang Geng and Lin Quanzhu burst out laughing.

    They say that when one comes to country, do as the Romans do. This is a typical Japanese-style luxury izakaya in Sakura House. Before entering the backyard, Wang Geng changed into straw slippers. It goes without saying that the Japanese are very diligent in cleaning. Mama Sang¡¯s snow-white socks were walking in the courtyard.  This section of the corridor in the middle is clean and not stained with dust.

    Talking about drinking tea, Wang Geng had no patience to play with the tea ceremony stuff with the fifty-seven-year-old Lin Quanzhu who looked like he was in his early forties. Damn it, how many oceans are waiting for me to go to alms every minute? Yixiangyuan and home  How many women are waiting for me to hurt you? I have time to play tea ceremony with you.

    Lin Quanzhu had no choice but to ask someone to take away the tea set. He cursed in his heart, where did the bumpkin from the Wuxi countryside come from? He clapped his hands and summoned the geisha. Two young geishas, ??one red and one white, played, one sang and performed, and the other two  The two maids, one on the left and one on the right, cuddled next to Wang Geng to accompany him while drinking wine.

    Damn it, Wang Geng, who had been liberated by Yixiangyuan from his long-suppressed desire, is now obviously immune to the little devil¡¯s sugar-coated bullets, which is a bit worrying!
