It was night, Fang Zida was holding an invitation in his hand. The person on the invitation was Ichiro Fujita, a former logistics officer of the Eighth Army Division and a Japanese consultant. A few days after Fang Zida left office in Nanjing, Fujita's term as consultant also came to an end. I thought he

I have returned to Japan a long time ago, but I didn't expect that I would come to Beijing and find myself in my own house alone.

Fang Zida happened to be in the Song Dynasty when Fujita visited, so he left an invitation specially for him to attend a reception at the Six Nations Hotel the next night. Fang Zida had always been wary of this Japanese, and the true identity behind Fujita's consultant

, Fang Zida also guessed one or two.

To be honest, Fang Zida has not been able to fully guess what kind of medicine Fujita actually sells, but judging from his feeling, it is definitely not a good thing. To show kindness for nothing, to commit adultery or to steal, this is what Little Japan has always been like, in business

Fang Zida, who has competed with the Japanese many times on the court, has experienced this deeply.

However, Fang Zida was not afraid of whatever he planned. When he was in Nanjing, he had thought carefully that the most likely way for the Japanese to use him was to use him. As for using him, Fang Zida didn't care. The Japanese used him, so he didn't.

Are you using the Japanese? The key is to achieve your own goals. For example, in the case of Chen Qimei, Fang Zida certainly understood that Fujita's whistleblower was definitely not well-intentioned, let alone loved China as he said, but for Fang Zida

, No matter what the reason is, he must arrest Chen Qimei.

Fang Zida is different from people of this era. He has his own ideas and judgments, and is not bound by any moral framework. To put it bluntly, he is just a pure businessman at heart. In the mall, Fang Zida has seen a lot of life and death.

If you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed by it. Indecisiveness will never achieve great things. Just like Chen Qimei, a die-hard member of the Revolutionary Party, who has been defeated in every battle but is indomitable. As long as such a person still has freedom, it will be very scary. Fang Zida will never

Allow Chen Qimei to escape so easily and have another chance to make a comeback.

Of course, Chen Qimei's final suicide was unexpected by Fang Zida. Originally, he only wanted to catch Chen Qimei, and then let him spend his life in prison after a legal trial. Who would have thought that he would commit suicide in anger. But it would be better if he died, it would be over once and for all.

If possible, Fang Zida wished that Sun Wen would end up like Chen Qimei.

After thinking about it, Fang Zida threw the invitation aside, asked Zhou Er to explain in detail, and asked him to arrange for someone to go to the Liuguo Hotel to keep an eye on Ichiro Fujita, and report any situation at any time.

"Central bank?"

Yuan Shikai read the report submitted by Song Jiaoren and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the Bank of Communications still there? If Fang Zhangming wants to be the general manager, why does he need to split up the Bank of Communications?"

"That's right, what does Fang Zida mean? What does he want to do!" Liang Shiyi's face was extremely ugly. You must know that he is now the general office of the Bank of Communications, and the Bank of Communications is actually the money bag of the Beiyang Department, and the actual power of the General Office of the Bank of Communications

If he is not under the Chief of Finance, if the Bank of Communications is split up according to Fang Zida's opinion, and a central bank is established, and the currency issuance rights of the original Bank of Communications are cancelled, what status does he, the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, and the General Office of the Bank of Communications have?

?Wouldn’t it be weird if you weren’t angry?

"Brother Yifu, there is no need to be angry. I just forwarded Fang Zhangming's request to the president." Seeing Liang Shiyi's reaction, Song Jiaoren explained in a pleasant manner, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

This Liang Shiyi relied on Yuan Shikai's trust and held the power of the Bank of Communications. He never took himself seriously. Moreover, all the main funds for the large loans for the aftermath were deposited in the Bank of Communications. Without Liang Shiyi's permission, the Ministry of Finance could not mobilize them at all. On several occasions

Song Jiaoren approached Liang Shiyi about financial issues, but he pushed him back. If Yuan Shikai hadn't come forward to approve the note in the end, the Ministry of Finance would have been unable to reveal the cause.

"Fang Zida is messing around! He...he has ulterior motives! President, you must not agree to him!" Before Yuan Shikai could say anything, Liang Shiyi refused with a dark face and a very excited expression. He had never dealt with Fang Zida, let alone

This matter is directly related to his rights, so it would be strange not to argue.

"Whenever important things happen, calm down! Mr. Yi, you're thirsty, go and drink some water..." Yuan Shikai suddenly said something coldly. After hearing this, Liang Shiyi's body suddenly trembled, and he quickly stepped aside without daring to take a breath.

, picked up the teacup and drank in small sips.

Yuan Shikai usually valued Liang Shiyi, his confidant, but today Liang Shiyi's explicit reaction made Yuan Shikai very unhappy. As the president of the Republic of China, the Beiyang boss himself had not yet spoken, let alone the Prime Minister Song who was present.

Jiao Ren, Liang Shi accused him of being the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office for speaking nonsense without authorization and being too domineering.

"Does Liang Yifu have too much power?" Originally, Yuan Shikai did not have this idea, but today's incident reminded him of this idea. Normally, both Yang Du and Xia Shoutian would often criticize Liang Shiyi in front of him.

He even raised objections to some of Liang Shiyi's actions. However, because of Yuan Shikai's trust, Liang Shiyi's status was not affected. On the contrary, because he had always been loyal, he appointed Liang Shiyi as the general manager of the Bank of Communications after he officially took over the position of president.

.

Putting his right hand on the edge of the table and tapping his middle finger lightly, Yuan Shikai seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said: "This matter is important and requires caution. I will leave this thing here for now and let me think about it in a few days."

Reply again, what do you think of Dunchu?"

"Of course! Of course the President has no objection to considering Jiaoren in such a big matter. In addition, President, there is something else I need to inform you about."

"Oh, what else?"

Song Jiaoren said with a smile: "As for the formulation of formal constitution, criminal law, civil law and other laws, I plan to submit a law-making proposal to Congress in the near future. I hope the president can support it."

"Haha, of course, Dunchu can submit it with confidence, I will give my full support!" Yuan Shikai smiled and agreed. Yuan Shikai had already considered the proposal of formulating a constitution. As a country, it is natural to formulate laws. As the president, he has no

There is no reason to refuse. What's more, there is not much going on in the Congress at the moment. These members of Congress are not fuel-efficient lamps, so we cannot let them be too idle. It is easy for this person to do something when he is idle.

It's pretty peaceful right now, so let's find something for these guys to do first, so that they don't get too bored and jump out to cause trouble for themselves again.

After Song Jiaoren left, Liang Shiyi hurriedly persuaded him again: "President, this Bank of Communications is the lifeblood of my Beiyang! Who is Fang Zida? From KMT! Song Jiaoren's confidant! Song Jiaoren wants to dig up

Your roots! You must not agree to this matter. At the worst, you can allocate money to them and let them build their own bank. Why do you have to break up the Bank of Communications?"

"Okay! I will make my own decision on this matter!" He raised his hand to stop Liang Shiyi from continuing. Yuan Shikai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but seeing Liang Shiyi hesitate to speak and looking frightened, he couldn't help but sighed and comforted:

"Yifu, your loyal old man knows this. You can go back without worries. You don't have to take this matter to heart."

"Yes...yes..." Liang Shiyi nodded humbly, said goodbye and left.

After leaving the Presidential Palace, Liang Shiyi stamped his feet with a livid face and sent his heartfelt greetings to the ancestors of Song Jiaoren and Fang Zida. He had been with Yuan Shikai for a long time and knew Yuan Shikai's temper well. How could he not hear the representative in his last few words?

What do you mean by something else? It seems that regardless of whether the Bank of Communications is split up in the future, his position as head office is somewhat in jeopardy.

After Liang Shiyi left, Yuan Shikai thought for a while. Originally, he planned to recruit Yang Du and others to come over and discuss the matter carefully. But after thinking about it carefully, Yang Du and others have always been at odds with Liang Shiyi. This opportunity would definitely add insult to injury.

He will not let it go. As for the opinions of Duan Qirui and others, Yuan Shikai has not considered it for the time being. As a soldier, it is better to have less involvement in these political affairs. Although he, Yuan, has been a little old and dim in recent years, he can still grasp some things.

"Father, this is the Korean ginseng tea brewed by my son. Please try it..."

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw the eldest son Yuan Keding limping in with a tea cup and respectfully raising his hands.

He nodded slightly, took the tea cup and took a sip: "Well, it's the best Korean ginseng tea, which is rare nowadays."

While drinking tea, Yuan Shikai couldn't help but think about his past in Korea. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, Korea became a Japanese colony. The fine Korean ginseng tea that was easy to drink back then has become a rare commodity. The eldest son Yuan Keding didn't know where to bother.

I got this thing to respect myself, so this kid is a little filial.

"How are your legs and feet lately? Do they still hurt on cloudy and rainy days?" Yuan Shikai put down the tea cup, looked at Yuan Keding who was standing aside with his hands hanging down, pointed to the chair beside him and said: "Sit down, don't run around if your feet are inconvenient, in the future

Just let the servants do the little things like serving tea and water."

"Thank you for your concern, father. Ke Ding is fine. Besides, my father has been busy with state affairs and worked hard. Ke Ding is not able to share the worries for his father. But as a son of a man, he should serve his father." In front of Yuan Shikai, the playboy Yuan Keding acted like a filial boy.

The baby is normal.

"I have the intention..." Nodding with satisfaction, Yuan Shikai, who was always strict in front of his children, showed a happy smile, picked up the tea cup, drank it in one gulp, and put it aside.

Yuan Keding saw that he had finished drinking and hurriedly came over to clean up. He accidentally saw the report lying aside and couldn't help but take a few glances.

"Fang Zida? Central Bank?"

"Do you also know Fang Zida?" Hearing Yuan Keding exclaim softly, Yuan Shikai asked casually.

"Haha, of course I know. Father, you don't know yet, but Fang Zida has a pretty good relationship with his son." Yuan Keding replied with some pride.
