Chapter six hundred and eighty sixth usurping the Qing Dynasty
When the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Lerjin, the governor of Shaanxi, Bi Yuan, and the governor of Shandong, Guotai, met Jia Liu again, he was already very drunk. How drunk was he?
I want to hold her, rub her, squeeze her, and pick her.
What a joy.
The father who is about to die has given himself a big brother, who wouldn't be happy?
People are in high spirits when happy events occur, and the great military strategists, strategists, politicians, reformers, and Eight Banners heroes of the Qing Dynasty are no exception.
First, he had two bowls with Qing Gui, the "unique" military minister, and then had another bowl with his brother-in-law Chunying. Finally, he came out with the bowl and went around the table to salute. It was strange that there was not much.
If Lao A hadn't discovered something was wrong later and asked someone to change the wine in the jar to water in time, Master Jia Jia would have been carried to the hospital and put on an intravenous drip. Otherwise, the Jia family would have to prepare for a funeral.
"It's not that I can't drink well, it's that Erguotou is really bad. If I can't get it on the countertop, I can't get it on the countertop. If you bring a few bottles of Maotai over, I won't be able to lie down... Uh... bring the basin quickly!"
After the guests left, Jia Liu was helped into the inner hall.
After a burst of vomiting, he drank half a bowl of ginger soup to relieve hangover, and after putting a hot towel on his forehead, Jia Liu's mental state calmed down a little.
To be honest, he really couldn't hold on any longer, and now he just wanted to bury himself in a deep sleep.
But I heard that the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Leerjin, the Governor of Shaanxi, Bi Yuan, and the Governor of Shandong, Cathay, were coming to visit, but they had to get up to receive the guests no matter what.
Because this is a national matter.
Why should we avoid it because of our personal health?
"A distinguished guest is coming, a distinguished guest is coming!"
Jia Liu, who was wandering around, almost bumped into the doorpost, shouting for Governor Le to come in and sit down.
"This is?"
The strong smell of alcohol in his nose made Leerjin regret that he should have come tomorrow, because there was nothing he could tell with a drunkard.
Over there, Jia Liu had already stepped forward, stretched out his big hand and shook it with Cathay, and said affectionately: "Brother Cathay, you and I have been separated since Linqing. We haven't seen each other for more than a year, right?"
"You are inside the capital, and I am outside the capital. I miss you every day without seeing you, and we drink the canal water together...Isn't this how we met? Brother Shikai, I miss you so much! If I knew that Brother Shikai had someone in his home
This is such a happy event, I have to come over early and have a few drinks with you..."
Cathay is an authentic Lao Man. His father is Wen Shou, the former governor of Sichuan. He was already in a prominent position when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. He always treats others carelessly, and he never treats his subordinates politely. He will curse if he is not satisfied.
.
Shandong's second-in-command, Yu Yijian, even straightened up and knelt down when reporting the situation to Cathay Pacific, which shows how domineering he is in Shandong.
However, in front of Jia Jiashikai, who was even younger than him, Cathay Pacific's performance surprised Leerjin and Bi Yuan, who had heard about it for a long time.
"Come on, come on, sit in the room, sit in the room!"
"Serve tea, serve good tea!"
Jia Liu shook his head and pinched himself secretly, holding Le Erjin with one hand and Cathay with the other, not forgetting to give Bi Yuan a few friendly looks.
Bi Yuan hesitated for a moment and then said: "I seem to have had a little too much wine. I think it's better to come back tomorrow."
"Don't bother me! You're already here, why do you want to change the date?"
"The three of you who came together must have something important to discuss. Although Shikai is drunk, his head is still sober at this time, so you three can rest assured."
Jia Liu picked up the towel on the table and wiped it on his face, exhaled a long breath, and the blush on his face suddenly disappeared by a third, and his expression became serious, without any frivolity.
"That's fine."
Seeing this, Le Erjin was embarrassed to say anything, and nodded slightly to Bi Yuan, who hurriedly stepped forward and placed a stack of banknotes on the table.
No more, no less, half a million taels.
They are all tickets issued by the largest bank in the capital, "Henghe".
There are about a dozen bank accounts in Jingli, but the largest is the "Four Da Heng", that is, the four banks with the word "Heng" in their names.
They are Henghe Hao, Hengxing Hao, Hengli Hao and Hengyuan Hao.
The proprietors of the four major Hengyin accounts are all from Ningbo, Zhejiang. When they were first founded, they were established by local businessmen in the form of a shareholding. Since the Kangxi period, the financial system dominated by Ningbo people has accounted for one-third of the entire Qing Dynasty.
one.
It is similar to Yuantong, Shentong and Shuntong.
"The money is in place and everything is in place, Ding Qing, accept it."
Jia Liu never paid attention to the money matters and asked Ding Qing to collect the banknotes and hand them over to the general ledger accountant Li Anping for safekeeping.
"Yongxin's matter is taken care of by me. I ask for your help for 90% of the matter!"
Jia Liu picked up the tea bowl to celebrate the happy cooperation with tea instead of wine.
After drinking, close the lid of the tea bowl.
This means seeing off guests.
Because it's okay.
I don't want anything to happen.
Bi Yuan spoke and stated the main purpose of his trip.
"Let me be the general...host of the mutual aid association?"
Jia Liu was excited, took off the hot towel on his forehead, and looked at the three of them seriously, "Is it decided in the meeting, or is it the intention of the three of you?"
"Is such that,"
Bi Yuan explained that it was the unanimous opinion of several members of the Mutual Aid Association in Beijing, including Xu Yucheng, the governor of Henan, E Bao, the governor of Shanxi, Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili, and Yu Yi Jian, the governor of Shandong.
"If Brother Shikai agrees, you can keep the seals and account books of the association. From now on, Brother Shikai will be in charge of everything in our mutual aid association."
Cathay Pacific supports this resolution. When several people met at the Shaanxi Guild Hall to discuss the matter, he was the first to stand up and support it.
"Well...who is keeping the seal and ledger now?"
Jia Liu was very tempted to be the host of the mutual aid association, because it would allow him to better control the power of the mutual aid association composed of governors and important ministers.
Among the local powerful factions, members of the mutual aid association account for more than one-third. Therefore, if the power of the mutual aid association is used properly, it can withstand twenty divisions!
Although the Mutual Advancement Association has many members, the apparent governor-level members are only a fraction of the members of the Mutual Aid Association, including two double-faced members, namely himself and Yang Jingsu.
Therefore, becoming the host of a mutual aid association is conducive to the great cause of usurping the Qing Dynasty.
Bi Yuan said that the Yinhe account book was previously kept by Yu Zhongtang, and later he gave it to Fuzhongtang when he returned home.
Hearing this, Jia Liu couldn't help but frown: "This is troublesome. The whole world knows that Fu Zhongtang wants to be the host. How could he hand over the faucet...how could he hand over the things?"
Le'er said cautiously: "I don't have to worry about this. As long as I am willing to serve as the host, I think Fu Zhongtang will understand the general situation and take the overall situation into consideration."
"The meeting thinks highly of Shikai and elected me to be the host. Logically speaking, Shikai should never shirk it. However... with all due respect to Shikai, Fu Zhongtang now has a large number of people and I can't deal with him."
The National Congress was about to convene, and Jia Liu just wanted to make a fortune happily. He really didn't want to fight with the rich man again at this juncture over the matter of hosting the mutual aid association.
Hearing this, Cathay said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? There are so many people in Fu Zhong Hall, and we are just decorations to eat dry food?"
"It is precisely because Fuzhongtang is now the only one that we want you to be the host."
Bi Yuan also told the truth.
"oh?"
These words sounded familiar to Jia Liu, "The association cannot be dominated by one person, right?"
