Chapter 35 Section thirty-fifth

After listening to Duan Zhigui's words, Yuan Shikai pondered for a while, before he began to speak: "Zhen Beizi wants you to be his entourage, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is not difficult to guarantee you to fill in the real vacancies. As for the governor of a province, I think you are not only It was too much to expect, and it was almost a dream." "As for the commander in chief, it depends on man's effort. As long as the commander in chief is willing to train me, I will be successful." "How can I cultivate you?" Yuan Shikai said, "I can't make trouble for you.

You know, I can't hit the wall anymore. " "Of course I don't dare to let the commander-in-chief make fun of it and run into trouble. What I mean is: first, please let the commander-in-chief let me try; second, if King Qing asks the commander-in-chief, please say something nice to the commander-in-chief. " "If you ask me, of course I will say good things for you." Yuan Shikai replied: "If you are willing to try, I don't have to stop you. But I think you are wasting your efforts in vain." Hearing this, Duan Zhigui smiled and asked Ann, "As long as the commander allows me to try it, it will be fine."

After resigning from Beiyang Yamen, Duan Zhigui immediately went to visit Wang Xiying.There is also a Wang Xianbin present here, whose name is Zhulin. He is basically an alternate road. He distributes it in Henan. He also followed Duan Zhigui's footsteps.All the expenses of the Beiyang Yamen that cannot be paid out of the public account are allocated by Wang Xianbin to the merchants, and he can be regarded as a wealthy owner of Duan Zhigui. "The commander-in-chief has already nodded." Duan Zhigui said excitedly: "It depends on how the two old men praise me!" "I'm responsible for Cuixi's affairs." Wang Xiying replied, "I've already told her adoptive mother that the lion wants 30,000 silver, so take your time!"

"It can't be too slow..." "Please don't worry!" Wang Xiying rushed to say, "I'm sure, anyway, when Zhen Beizi came back from outside the pass, the matter must have been finished." "One more thing," Duan Zhigui added, "Zhen Beizi also likes Jin'er, so it's best to do it together." "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, but there's always a way to think about it, and it's a big deal to spend a few more dollars." "By the way! Please worry about it." Duan Zhigui turned his face and asked, "Zhulin, how are you doing?"

"This number is a little too big." Wang Xianbin said emotionally, "Xiang Gong, can it be less?" "Less is never less! If it's less, it won't work, it's like throwing it in the water." Duan Zhigui thought for a while and said, "I also know that the amount is a bit too big, so how about I borrow half of it temporarily?" "As long as there is, how can you not be dedicated to Mr. Xiang's affairs? Money is really tight and the interest is heavy. It is very difficult to borrow." "When it comes to interest, it's easy. I'm sure I'll borrow half of it! Come, come, I'll write an IOU, and Yisun will be a witness."

"Yisun" is Wang Xiying's alias, of course he helped Duan Zhigui, and said without hesitation: "Okay! I will bear witness." After saying that, he opened the ink cartridge himself, and waited for Duan Zhigui to come and write the IOU. "Yisun," Duan Zhigui said, "you write it for me, and I will sign it with my own hand." So Wang Xiying took a piece of flower paper and wrote down an IOU: "I borrowed 50,000 taels of Kuping for the preparation of the establishment of the province, and it will be cleared within this year." Then Duan Zhigui sat down and signed the pledge , the signed title is: "Duan Zhigui, Governor of Heilongjiang."

It's almost child's play!But what is this, but a joke?Wang Xianbin has heard that the reward for buying a gun is an IOU signed by a "new imperial examiner" so-and-so. IOUs should be regarded as counterfeit.Now that Duan Zhigui followed his advice and wrote such an IOU, seeing that he wrote without any hesitation, he seemed to be sure of everything, Wang Xianbin was greatly encouraged and decided to bet a big bet. Therefore, when Duan Zhigui handed over this IOU, he held back his hands and said, "Mr. Xiang is simply scolding! Mr. Cheng Xiang praised me. I have to make up that number no matter what." He deliberately thought for a while and said: "My mother has 30,000 taels of silver in her hand, and she intends to donate it to a royal title in the future. I will discuss it with my mother, and we will move it to make up the amount first."

"I can't thank you enough." Duan Zhigui said, "Please tell the Lingtang that the first-rank seal will be granted, and I will guarantee her the old man's wish. Zhulin, to tell you the truth, if there is no province in the three eastern provinces, it will be fine. If there is a province, I will be the governor. , at that time, you and Yisun, whatever job you want, it's up to you to choose." As soon as this wish was made, Wang Xianbin became even more energetic. He collected a hundred thousand silver to return to his command.Duan Zhigui did things properly, so he still asked Wang Zibin to keep it, because this huge sum of money was a birthday present for Yikuang.February 28 next year will be his seventieth birthday, which is too early.Of course, it also depends on the situation. In case the restructuring of the three eastern provinces is not easy to achieve, this large sum of money may as well be saved.
