"Alright, with these good generals joining, I believe the new 34th Alliance Army will be greatly improved." Tie Liang nodded in agreement with a smile on his face, but judging from Tie Liang's expression, he seemed to be quite satisfied with the people Zhao Shouhong chose. Because of disdain, and he has no intention of wooing Zhao Shouhong at all, and always speaks to him in an official tone.

After Zhao Shouhong submitted the person he wanted to Tie Liang, there was nothing else to do, so he immediately got up and left on the grounds that he would not delay Tie Liang's official business. .Zhao Shouhong didn't care much about such an idiot as Tie Liang. This person is very representative, which fully explained the incompetence and arrogance of those late gold nobles. surprise him.

For the rest of the day, Zhao Shouhong planned to stay in the mansion and plan his next development plan, but Xu Haichang came to him instead.

"Master Zhao is at home." Xu Haichang smiled and walked into the living room. At this time, Zhao Shouhong was sitting in the lobby and wandering away, but he got a report from the servant that someone had visited.

Seeing Xu Haichang coming in, Zhao Shouhong greeted him with a smile and said, "Master Xu, you are too polite, how can this junior bear your name."

"It's well deserved, I can invite you today. My brother came from Tianfeng City and specially held a banquet at Zhengyanglou Restaurant, waiting for you to have a banquet." Xu Haichang said with a smile.

"Why should Master Yuan Kai personally invite me? I'll change my clothes and ask Master Xu to wait." Zhao Shouhong quickly changed his clothes and headed towards Zhengyang Tower together with Xu Haichang.

Zhengyanglou Restaurant was first built in the Qianguang period. It is one of the eight famous buildings in the imperial capital. It mainly serves Shandong cuisine, and the taste is quite good.When Zhao Shouhong and Xu Haichang went up to the second floor and entered the private room, there were already several people waiting here.

"Your Majesty Yuan Kai's banquet, it's a crime to come late to a humble position, a crime." Zhao Shouhong didn't want to offend this big man in the officialdom, so he spoke very politely.

Yuan Kai cupped his hands with a pleasant smile and said: "This must be Mingshen. You and I hit it off right away and don't need to be polite. Today we only talk about friendship and don't arrange official positions. Just be casual."

Yuan Kai's attitude warmed Zhao Shouhong's heart. What he did was much better than those diehards. If Zhao Shouhong hadn't clearly known in the history books, his methods of buying people's hearts might have happened to him. Favorable.

Speaking of Yuan Kai, he has made a great contribution to the history of Hualan Kingdom. He promoted the country's democratic process, forced Emperor Xuanxing of the Later Jin Dynasty to abdicate, and argued with the Wa Kingdom on the Huangdao issue, reducing the country's lost.Although he became emperor in his later years in a daze, his flaws were not concealed, and most importantly, he was also the founder of Hualan Kingdom's modern army construction.

Yuan Kai smiled and pointed to a few people around him: "Shou Hong just arrived, so I don't know these people, let me introduce them. These are Zhao Bingjun, Zhou Xuexi, Wang Shizhen, Duan Ruiquan, Feng Guofu, and Tang Shaoyi. They are all my best friends. .”

"My lords are well, I'm being polite here." Zhao Shouhong saluted with a smile, but was secretly surprised that Yuan Kai's right-hand man and right-hand man came here today. I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

"Master Zhao's salute is not worthy of him. Heroes who can fight Westerners, especially Saars, are role models that Duan admires." Duan Ruiquan stood at attention and saluted him, obviously he did it from the heart.

"Zhao doesn't have such a talent. I just took out the blankets of the Saar people while they were sleeping." Zhao Shouhong said something funny, and his words made everyone laugh.

"It's agreed that regardless of official position, everyone should address each other by their first names. Come and serve the food quickly, and let's talk while eating." Yuan Kai quickly called everyone to sit down. Then call the official position.

"I heard that Shouhong has also done a great business in Sichuan and Xinjiang. Many factories have been built?" Zhou Xuexi, Yuan Kai's God of Wealth, naturally cared most about industry and commerce.

Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "I was just making a fuss. How big a factory can I build in the place where the transportation is inconvenient in Sichuan and Xinjiang? It can't compare with Mr. Zhou's Qixin Cement Company, which has a large output and a much wider market. .”

Zhou Xuexi smiled and said, "I'm also very surprised that you set up a factory in such a closed place. Why didn't you consider setting up a factory in Tianfeng or Guanghai? It will make money faster."

Zhao Shouhong sighed and said, "There is no way out. I heard that if these local forces are not properly managed, the establishment of factories will not be successful."

"I see who dares, you come to Tianfeng to set up a factory, whoever dares to embarrass you, I will knock off his head." Duan Ruiquan said.

"Ruiquan is calm, don't be impatient, why get angry because of these things, if Mr. Yuan speaks out, will anyone dare to break ground on Taisui?" Wang Shizhen comforted Duan Ruiquan with a smile. A good friend who understands politics, Mr. Yuan didn't say a word, so it's better for him not to say anything.

"Yes, as long as you come to Tianfeng to set up a factory, I will definitely keep you safe." Yuan Kai laughed.

"Thank you, Master Yuan." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"Look, it was agreed not to be an official, but you come again and you should be punished with alcohol." Yuan Kai pointed at Zhao Shouhong and said.

"Yes, I will punish myself with three drinks." Zhao Shouhong hurriedly punished him with three drinks, and everyone watching clapped their hands and laughed.

"Shou Hong is really good at drinking, eat food quickly, don't just drink." Xu Haichang said.

Zhao Shouhong took two mouthfuls of food, and raised his wine glass again. "I heard that Master Yuan, oh no, Yuan Shibo is going to be promoted to the Minister of Military Aircraft. From now on, he will be Master Zhongtang. It's really gratifying. I'm here to borrow flowers and offer a toast to you."

This sentence seemed to refer to Yuan Kai's pain. The muscles on his face twitched but he didn't attack. He just raised his glass and had sex with Zhao Shouhong. However, from his expression, it was obvious that he didn't like talking about it.Zhao Shouhong was trying to test Yuan Wei on purpose. He was very depressed when he was pulled down from the real power of Minister of the Northern Territory, and he was very depressed when he was given a false title. Naturally, he would not feel good when he was brought up like this.

This time Zhao Shouhong wanted to see how big Yuan Kui was, so he pretended not to congratulate him, which made him feel a little chilly.Yuan Kui really deserved to be a generation of heroes, but he didn't get angry on the spot because of this incident. Obviously, the city is very deep, and he should be extra careful when dealing with such people.

"Shouhong doesn't know something." Xu Haichang didn't see Zhao Shouhong's thoughts, he sighed and said: "There is nothing to boast about in this matter, how can the power of the Minister of Military Aircraft be compared with that of the Minister of the Northern Territory, this is because the Empress Dowager does not trust Proof of our Constitutionalists."

Xu Haichang expressed his feelings, but Wang Shizhen who was on the side said: "Brother Haichang, be careful, don't talk about this matter, after all, Yuan Gong can be regarded as high-ranking." Obviously Wang Shizhen still didn't believe Zhao Shouhong, for fear that he would reveal something.

Although there was a smile on his face, Zhao Shouhong's brain was spinning rapidly, calculating the pros and cons of various things.The constitutional faction represents the new merchant class in Hualan Kingdom, and it is a faction with a bright future. At least in the early years of the Republic of China, Yuan Wei will have a great advantage.Now I rely on the constitutional faction, which is of great benefit to my industrial and commercial development. After the establishment of the Republic of China, I can also have a good relationship with the Northern Territory Department, so that Zhongchuan has time to develop steadily.

"I think the matter is exactly the opposite of what Mr. Xu said. The empress dowager has included Yuan Shibo and Zhang Xiangshuai in the center. It seems that she is determined to establish a constitution. This should be of great benefit to the country." Zhao Shouhong raised his head and said.

"Oh? It turns out that Shou Hong is also in favor of constitutionalism?" Zhou Xuexi laughed.

"The boy also came back from studying abroad. Naturally, he knows how beneficial the establishment of a constitution and the development of industry are to the country. Otherwise, I would not want to set up industry to overhaul the railway. This is really a strategy for strengthening the country." Zhao Shouhong is deliberately showing favor , Now that the constitutionalists are on the verge of waning, expressing their support can be regarded as a timely help. I believe that the benefits he can obtain in the future should be enough to make up for the losses he suffered from being suppressed by the diehards.

"Let me just say, when Shou Hong came back from abroad, he must be from our side. You still don't believe me when I say it. Could it be that Zhao Shilang's thoughts can represent him?" Yuan Kai slapped his thigh with a smile and Zhao Shouhong knew it , it turned out that Yuan Wei wanted to test his mind for today's meal.Hearing this, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help secretly regretting it. If he had known that he would not have expressed his heart so early, he might have reaped a lot of benefits. It seems that he is still too young in the officialdom.

"Of course I agree, and I am very supportive of Mr. Yuan's approach." Zhao Shouhong smiled dryly to cover up his inner disappointment. At this time, he had already stated his position, so he naturally wanted to express his support.

"Since they are all our own people, there is no need for everyone to digress. How do you think the Empress Dowager plans to support constitutionalism?" Yuan Wei said.

"The boy is just guessing. How could he possibly guess what the empress dowager meant? It's just that I heard that the empress dowager is going to summon Yuan Kai and Zhang Xiangshuai alone, so there must be a deep meaning in it." Zhao Shouhong said.

Xu Haichang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Yes, it seems that Zaifeng and Tie Liang will not be able to sleep anymore." As soon as Xu Haichang said this, the people at the table burst into laughter.

"After the empress dowager summons me alone tomorrow, how about Shou Hong and me going to Prince Qing's mansion?" Yuan Kai said casually, and everyone was startled. The meeting with Prince Qing must be a very confidential matter. Zhao Shouhong participated, which shows that Yuan Wei attaches great importance to him.This situation is incredible to Yuan Wei, who has always been cautious.

Zhao Shouhong was also taken aback, he never thought that Yuan Kai would invite him to such a confidential meeting.He was very surprised by Yuan Kai's actions. Perhaps it was because the Zhao family was quite powerful, and they were relatively neutral conservatives. He was eager to win over such power for his own use.Maybe it was because of his close relationship with Zhang Zhidong, in short, he would not be so stupid as to think that Yuan Wei liked his military command and business ability.

Chapter 80 First Meeting Zhan Youming

"The boy will definitely accompany you." Zhao Shouhong has already expressed his position by saying this, and since then he can call himself a constitutionalist.Although he will be suppressed by the diehards in the last two years, with a goal like Yuan Wei ahead, the persecution Zhao Shouhong will suffer should be limited. When the constitutionalists gain power again, he will probably be able to get a lot of help.

The host and guests enjoyed the meal, Zhao Shouhong also made his position clear, he just waited for Yuan Kai to come back tomorrow, and went with him to meet Prince Qing Yiqian.Humming a ditty and returning home, Zhao Shouhong saw Xiaocui head-on.Seeing that Zhao Shouhong was in high spirits, Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Young master seems to be in a good mood today. Is there anything good?" In recent days of contact, Xiao Cui has learned that Zhao Shouhong has a generous temper towards his servants, so she also speaks Casually a lot.

"Of course there is a good thing, but you can't tell others." Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "Why are you standing in the yard today?"

"Master is looking for you and told you to meet him in the study when you come back, that's why I waited here." Xiao Cui replied.

"Oh? Grandpa looking for me?" Zhao Shouhong's mouth showed a smile: "It seems that there is more than one good thing."

Zhao Shouhong stepped into the study and found that there was more than one person waiting here. Besides his grandfather Zhao Erzhen, there was also a middle-aged man with a dark complexion. Still holding a top hat, he is obviously a Western figure.

"Grandfather, you are looking for me." After Zhao Shouhong looked at the middle-aged man for a few times, he first saluted Zhao Erzhen.

"Come and get acquainted. This is Zhan Youming who came here specially to see you. You can't wait." Zhao Erzhen nodded, pointing at the middle-aged man again.

"Hello, Mr. Zhan." Zhao Shouhong did not follow the official rules, but extended his hand.Zhan Youming was taken aback for a moment, then his face showed joy, and he also stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Shouhong tightly.

"I heard that Mr. Zhao is going to devote all his money to build a railway for the country. It's really touching, so I ran back when I received the news." Zhan Youming said with a smile.

Touching the rough and strong hand of the opponent, Zhao Shouhong felt extremely excited. This is a famous figure in the history of Hualan Kingdom, the first chief engineer of Hualan Kingdom to independently build a railway.Unexpectedly, he was able to stand with him and shake hands. For Zhao Shouhong, who is familiar with history, it was like a dream.

"Master Zhan is a role model for my generation who spares no effort to build roads for the country." Zhao Shouhong also replied.

"Okay, everyone is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so polite." Zhao Erzhen introduced with a smile. It turns out that the Zhan family and the Zhao family are family friends, and Zhan Youming and Zhao Shouhong are still of the same generation.

"It turns out that it's easy for everyone to be familiar with each other. The railway construction I applied to the empress dowager and the emperor still needs a lot of help from Brother Youming." Zhao Shouhong immediately drew in the relationship, and his words became much more intimate.
