Fengxian Jiangshan

Long before coming to Beijing, Zhang Tinglan and Lao Zhang analyzed Yuan Shikai's ambivalence. Zhang Zuolin took it very seriously. Therefore, how to behave became a problem. A submissive Lao Yuan would think that he could not be reused. People will also jump out and step on a few feet.

If it was too tough, it would be of no benefit to make old Yuan Xinxin afraid. After some consideration, Lao Zhang found that it was best to show enough strength while deliberately exposing some character flaws, so that Yuan Shikai mistakenly believed that he was easy to control.

Therefore, during the interview, Lao Zhang would say that the heavenly king and Lao Tzu should not even try to get their hands on Fengtian. This is beating Yuan Shikai. If you send someone to Fengtian casually, you have to see if Lao Zhang agrees.In addition, Zhang Zuolin showed the recklessness and greed of a reckless person from time to time.

For example, the beating of the Chongwenmen tax official, or the conflict with Liang Shiyi, or the pocket watch.Ever since Zhang Tinglan made repeated troubles, Division 27 has ample funds on his books, and Lao Zhang also has millions of deposits in Daosheng Bank. Would he care about a pocket watch?

However, Lao Zhang found a shiny golden pocket watch among a pile of rusty bronzes, as if he was afraid that others would not know, so he pretended to be attracted, and sure enough, Lao Yuan gave him the pocket watch when he came in. .

Lao Zhang is also a high-ranking person. He knows very well that this is just a small way to buy people's hearts, and it is also a test to see if he is greedy for money.After returning to the Liuguo Hotel, Lao Zhang casually threw the pocket watch on the sofa, not caring at all.

On the contrary, when Zhang Xueliang saw his father throwing out a shiny golden object, he quickly picked it up, saw that it was a delicate pocket watch, and started to play with it casually.

"Seventh Lord, President Yuan is too stingy. We gave them so many things from the Yuan family, and he returned the gift with a pocket watch. It's not appropriate!"

"President Yuan doesn't think so. This is a gift from the future Lord Long Live, and it's something for the emperor. When Lao Yuan becomes the emperor, we will get a memorial tablet and offer this thing as a family heirloom."

Lao Zhang picked up the tea cup, took a few sips, moistened his throat, and said, "Ting Lan, Lao Yuan also heard about the signing of the contract between you and Zhu Erdian. He has a crush on you and wants to keep you in Beijing for training."

Zhang Xueliang, who was playing with the pocket watch at the side, heard this, his small eyes widened immediately, he put the pocket watch aside, and said angrily: "Father, Datou Yuan wants to exchange a gold watch for brother Tinglan. It's wishful thinking, from head to toe, Brother Ting Lang is a man of gold, pure gold!" Zhang Xueliang was also anxious.

Zhang Tinglan knew better, although Yuan Shikai was powerful now, but he was dying and dying.On the contrary, Zhang Zuolin is the sun at midnight, with great development potential. Zhang Tinglan will never stay in Beijing to be buried with Lao Yuan.

What's more, today's Beijing is full of old bureaucrats fighting for power and power. They can't do any serious business. It can't compare with Fengtian's freedom and unrestrained style, which can be played at will.

"Seventh Lord, Lao Yuan has never had a lot of money, and besides, he wants to be the emperor, and he needs to spend money on everything. He doesn't really want to keep me, but just wants to make some money to spend."

"That's right, do you have the ability to get him money?"

"No!" Zhang Tinglan replied very simply: "If you want to make money, you have to show courage in doing things. If we want to do something in Fengtian, we have to fight against the Japanese, especially in Beijing. But Lao Yuan The subordinates are intertwined, and there are great powers watching over them, wanting to get anything real, the obstacles are so huge, Beijing is a quagmire, if you fall into it, don’t even think about getting out.”

"Although Lao Yuan didn't say it clearly, he already had this idea and asked me to take you to the presidential palace. If Lao Yuan insists on keeping you, I can't refuse!"

Of course Zhang Zuolin didn't want Zhang Tinglan to stay in Beijing, but he couldn't directly reject Lao Yuan. If Yuan Shikai was annoyed, it would be useless for him to go to Beijing this time.

Zhang Tinglan is also very aware of the importance of it. He rolled his eyes and carefully considered the countermeasures.

"Seventh Lord, you said that I caused some trouble, so that Lao Yuan dare not keep me in Beijing, what's your idea?"

stir up trouble?During this period of time, Lao Zhang has learned Zhang Tinglan's ability to provoke troubles. He provoked all kinds of forces in Fengtian and Liang Shiyi when he arrived in Beijing, but who is this kid planning to provoke?

"Ting Lan, Beijing is no better than Fengtian. Don't make trouble, you boy. I think it's better to pretend to be sick and say that the environment is not acclimatized. I will send someone to send you back to Fengtian overnight. I guess Lao Yuan has nothing to say."

Old Zhang proposed the safest method, Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and said, "Seventh Lord, although this is safe, it will also make Yuan Shikai feel a thorn in his heart, so it is not suitable!"

"Okay, since you have an idea, go ahead and do it, and I'll take care of it if something goes wrong!" Lao Zhang also knew that Zhang Tinglan was actually very stubborn, and since he had an idea, he would persist, so he simply didn't care, and he still treated Zhang Tinglan Very confident.

Zhang Tinglan returned to her room, thinking constantly in her heart. This time when she came to Beijing, besides helping Zhang Zuolin run an official, he also wanted to recruit some available talents, especially those who knew about industry and mining.

The three northeastern provinces are first-class and rich places in the country, with rich mineral resources. If you want to develop the economy, you must develop these minerals, but this requires specialized talents. Now it is not college students who go everywhere In the later generations, there are no scientific and technological talents who can take on great responsibilities in Fengtian.

Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to play Beijing's idea, hoping to recruit a few professionals who knew about industry and mining from the university. Since he wanted to recruit talents, he had to deal with those literati and scholars.

It was only in this era that Zhang Tinglan really understood the preferential treatment for these literati. They enjoy a monthly salary of three or four hundred oceans, which is fifty times, or even a hundred times, that of ordinary workers. In slightly remote areas, ordinary people You can't get a few dollars all year round, and the salary of a university professor is thousands of times theirs.

This is not the dark end of the world, it is simply a paradise for literati!

In later generations, the monthly salary of an ordinary university professor is hardly more than 1 yuan, and the dishwashing worker also earns 3000 to [-] yuan. The difference is only three to five times. No wonder the disciples and grandchildren of later generations desperately recall the Republic of China. They are far behind their predecessors. up.

But they never thought about whether the preferential treatment for literati during the Republic of China was normal. If the wage gap of three to five times was to encourage people to work hard, then the income gap of tens or hundreds of times was intensifying social conflicts and causing hatred.

On the one hand, the ordinary people are hungry and hungry, and on the other hand, the literati embrace the ladies, dance ballroom dances, and enjoy a luxurious life.As a result, these people continue to write articles, lamenting social injustice, attacking traditional culture, and claiming to be representatives of spreading new ideas, but they do not know that their existence is itself a serious injustice.

Of course, only Zhang Tinglan dared to think so, and even Yuan Shikai was afraid of these literati, allowing them to publish articles in newspapers, there was absolutely no way to deal with them.

Before coming to Beijing, Zhang Tinglan told Wang Yongjiang about the idea of ​​recruiting talents. Wang Yongjiang also supported it. Fengtian really needs talents. When he went to Beijing a few years ago, he also met a friend named Kuang Rongguang. He was one of the first batch of young children studying in the United States. He studied mining and metallurgy. He also discovered the Xiangtan Coal Mine in Hunan. He became famous all over the world. He is now teaching at Peking University.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that young children studying in the United States were a gold-lettered signboard, and a large number of talents emerged from this group, including Cabinet Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, railway engineer Zhan Tianyou and so on.This Kuang Rongguang seems to have been heard in later generations, and he is indeed a talent. Since Wang Yongjiang recommended him, Zhang Tinglan wanted to find an opportunity to recruit him to Fengtian to help find mines and develop mineral resources.

Now when Zhang Tinglan heard that Lao Yuan wanted to recruit him, and he couldn't refuse, he thought of a way, which was to take the opportunity of recruiting Kuang Rongguang to poke a hornet's nest, compete with the literati of this era, and intensify Public opinion made Lao Yuan dare not keep himself.

Now that she had thought of this idea, Zhang Tinglan went straight to Peking University the next day. The campus of this era is still full of classical style, with elegant architecture, red bricks and green trees, pavilions and waterside pavilions.Under the guidance of the guide, Zhang Tinglan quickly found the specially established professor's villa area, all of which are new-style western-style buildings with unique design, electric lights, telephones, hot and cold water are all available.

The environment is so good that it is enviable. It is in stark contrast to the low and dark houses of ordinary people outside. Suddenly, this is not China, but the developed West.

However, the Kuang Rongguang he was looking for was not arranged in the villa area. There is an idle compound not far from the villa area. This is Kuang Rongguang's residence. It is spacious and neat, but it is incomparable with those glamorous villas. up.Zhang Tinglan quickly found this place, and saw a few people in the yard who seemed to be arguing from a distance.

A middle-aged man in an oriental satin gown is clasping his hands behind his back, talking loudly: "Mr. Kuang, this is a campus, a clean and holy place. Your side is jingling and rattling, just like a vegetable market. What do outsiders think of us, shame on us!"

"What's there to be ashamed of?" A young man in his early twenties walked quickly from one side, his body was still stained with black engine oil, and there were some scattered parts beside him. Most of the sound came from him fiddling with these things.

"There is no special operation laboratory in a dignified university campus. I can only work here. Although I am not from this school, I want to say that students pay attention to the unity of knowledge and action. Only by practical operation can they better master Learned knowledge, this is your school's negligence!"

"Hmph, I want to manipulate you to go to a junior college and become a Liba. No one is stopping you. This is a place for research and learning, so you can't disturb the tranquility."

At this time, a little old man in his fifties said: "Professor Yang, Yunhua is still young, ignorant, and has made thousands of mistakes, all of which are my fault. Please don't take offense."

"Professor Kuang, you and I are both scholars. We should be respectable. It is our duty to study and learn. As for other workers, it is enough. Why should we lower our status!"
