On the way back, Song Jiaoren kept complaining about Fang Zida's recklessness. How could national affairs be such a trivial matter? Once his shocking remarks were spread, they would be criticized by thousands of people. Even Song Jiaoren could not save him.

As he talked, Song Jiaoren couldn't help but shake his head. He really regretted taking Fang Zida to see Yuan Shikai today.

Fang Zida didn't pay any attention to Song Jiaoren's complaints, as if he had just done a trivial thing, and kept smiling while sitting in the car. It wasn't until Song Jiaoren got a little angry when he said it that he calmly asked Song

Jiaoren, if after he officially takes over as Prime Minister, the government's finances are facing a collapse under the current situation, is there a good way to solve the problem? Song Jiaoren's anger was extinguished at once, and he frowned and said nothing.

Song Jiaoren is a conscientious politician and a responsible politician, but he is definitely not a mature and experienced politician. At least he is still relatively naive. Fang Zida sees this very clearly. From a practical point of view, Fang Zida is not actually a mature politician.

I do not agree with Song Jiaoren taking over government affairs immediately. Under the current situation, once the parliamentary election is completed and he becomes prime minister, Song Jiaoren will go beyond the current situation.

Naturally, the place suddenly sat on the crater. The current financial situation of the Republic of China government is extremely bad. Today Zhou Xuexi and others have also confirmed this. Moreover, the military governments in various places are full of factions, and Sun Wen and others are jumping up and down in Japan.

The tossing was intense, and the calm situation concealed the turbulent waves underneath. Once he took over, this particularly hot potato fell into Song Jiaoren's hands.

Fang Zida had some expectations of this before, and after today's meeting with Yuan Shikai, he is even more convinced. The topic of large-scale government borrowing is very heavy. As the president, Yuan Shikai must grasp this life-saving straw, both public and private.

This is also a hurdle that the current government cannot avoid. But

Everyone knows that no matter whether the people involved in this matter are doing it for the country or for themselves, once the contract is signed, there is no way to escape the betrayal of national interests. You can try to avoid being involved in this vortex and act lightly.

Going into battle is the only thing Song Jiaoren can do.

It is for this reason that Fang Zida deliberately intervened to stir up trouble and made everyone disperse unhappy. However, he was not without purpose. Although those words had the intention of helping Song Jiaoren out of the siege, they also had other intentions. Regardless of

No matter what the result is, it will definitely not be harmful to you.

When he returned to his residence, Song Jiaoren, who had calmed down, had already figured it out. Although he didn't say anything, he was a little moved in his heart. He took Fang Zida's hand and shook it tightly, explaining the future arrangements. After the two broke up, Fang Zida

Go to the house you just bought, and Marcos has been waiting for him for a long time.

The new house was simply tidied up, and Zhou Zhou'er was asked to help find a reliable old man to be the concierge. Although a lot of furniture and supplies still need to be added, it is still ready for people to live in. The long private room of the Six Nations Hotel has been given to Marcos for temporary accommodation.

, Fang Zida moved here directly, after all, it is much more convenient to talk things here than other places.

After closing the door, Fang Zida and Marcos stayed in the room for more than three hours. No one knew what they were talking about. When Fang Zida sent Marcos off through the back door, he saw Marcos' solemn expression.

With a hint of excitement in his heart, he left quickly under the night.

Yuan Shikai's presidential decree came down very quickly. With his support, Song Jiaoren immediately made preparations for the convening of the Congress. At the same time, Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun also actively cooperated with him to gradually transfer government affairs. Of course, under Fang Zida's reminder,

Song Jiaoren did not immediately take over all government work.

It is about to start. With the current constitutional governance as the primary reason, I have only slightly participated in the Prime Minister's affairs. After all, for the government, Premier Zhao is still the legal Prime Minister of the government. Song Jiaoren is only the acting speaker before the formal election of the National Assembly.

, the name is not justified, and no one can find fault with this.

The convening of the first National Congress was a major event for the Republic of China and the first step in constitutional government. Song Jiaoren sent everyone who went north to cooperate and notified the Nanjing House of Representatives and the Senate to officially move to Beijing from now on. At the same time, he convened the Senate in Beijing

Members of both houses of Congress have set up preparatory committees, which are very busy every day.

, even Fang Zida, who had no interest in the convening of the Congress, was encouraged by Song Jiaoren and helped him share part of the work. He walked around several venues all day long, and some trivial matters made him dizzy. Moreover,

Some people don't know where they got the idea that the strange face Fang Zida is actually

Song Jiaoren's status as a personal assistant has attracted political speculators who are eyeing certain positions in Congress and government positions to come one after another. They are like a group of extremely annoying flies buzzing around him, and they can't be driven away no matter how hard they try.

Let’s go. There are countless tricks like flattering, treating guests, giving gifts, drinking wine and trying to get along with fellow villagers.

What's more, what makes Fang Zida dumbfounded is that there are a few old guys who look like they are about to put half of their feet in the coffin. Every time they meet him, they can't help praising Fang Zida for his youth and promise, and they keep trying to sell him the beauty of their home.

Daughters, nieces, nieces, granddaughters, granddaughters...

"It's good to be an official. No wonder so many people want to be an official..." In his spare time, Fang Zida couldn't help but sigh. He, a man who didn't even have half an official hat on his head, actually became one because of Song Jiaoren.

A famous person in Beijing. These ten or so

God, he knows almost more people than he did in the past half year, and there are many strangers who can't even name him. Seeing that he is brother Zhang Ming, brother Zhang Ming, as if he is a long-lost brother, they treat him

It's extremely affectionate.

Preparations for the Congress are in full swing, and negotiations between the government and the five-nation bank group are also continuing. I don’t know whether it was affected by Fang Zida’s wild words or for other reasons.

The presidents suddenly made a request to the five-nation banking group to increase the amount of borrowing. Although they were rejected by the British, French, and Japanese banking groups on the spot, it was strange.

The two banking groups, Dehua and Huayodaosheng, had an ambiguous attitude. Although they did not directly accept the proposal, they showed some interest. This change made the three members of the negotiating team overjoyed, and they quickly spread the news.

The news reached Yuan Shikai. After receiving the news, Yuan Shikai immediately instructed them to strike while the iron was hot and try to win over the two German and Russian banking groups to achieve the purpose of increasing borrowings.

The ensuing negotiations reached a deadlock, especially Japan's Yokohama Masaki, who was very dissatisfied with the changes in Germany and Russia's attitudes. After several failed coordination efforts, he even acted violently at internal meetings of the banking group and threatened to withdraw. It is a pity that the Japanese

I made a wrong calculation. Among the five-nation bank group, Japan's Yokohama Masaki was the last to join, and its capital strength and amount of funds raised were far inferior to those of the other four countries.

Banking group. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan, an Asian island country, has risen rapidly, and has also shouted the slogan of leaving Asia and joining Europe. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1891, Japan barely defeated the Manchus with the strength of the whole country, and only relied on indemnities to pay off the five-year-old military force.

With a huge foreign debt of tens of millions of pounds, Japan suddenly became a powerful country in Asia. After the victory of the Russo-Japanese War eight years ago, Japan finally became a powerful country this time.
