Fang Zida was in a good mood, whoever got a huge sum of money suddenly must be in a good mood.After leaving the Liuguo Hotel, he hummed a ditty excitedly on the way home, which rarely happened to Fang Zida.

Uchida Ryohei never imagined that Fang Zida was simply trying to trick him.Regarding what Uchida Ryohei said, except for the 1500 million yen proposed by the other party, Fang Zida basically went in his left ear and out of his right ear, and rightly regarded him as farting.

With a few words of nonsense, he got 230 million yuan. How could Fang Zida be in a bad mood?He is now full of thoughts about how to get all the remaining money. In Fang Zida's mind, this kind of self-inflicted bullying will not be cut for nothing. If possible, it would be better to get some more money. Fang Zida is not worried about Uchida Ryohei's reaction when he finally finds out that he has been fooled, and what measures he will take against him.

In this era, those who owe money have always been afraid of letting go, just like Yang Bailao in the opera who is afraid of Huang Shiren's debts and hides in a ravine.Of course, Fang Zida also speculated whether these two people really existed. No matter what, in the eyes of Chinese people today, owing money is a very shameful and disgraceful thing. Being in debt is inferior to others, and even outsiders dare not see it. Trembling and trembling, I am afraid that the creditor will come to ask for the debt.In fact, this is also normal. The current ideology has always been like this. Take the government’s large-scale borrowing for aftermath, which is obviously a normal national borrowing. It is conceivable why so many people oppose it.

But Fang Zida is different from ordinary people, his concept is completely opposite to ordinary people.It's like a common saying a hundred years later. "If you ask the bank to borrow [-] yuan, you are working for the bank. If you ask the bank to borrow [-] million yuan, then the bank will work for you." Fang Zida is a business elite and is familiar with capital operations. With a good calculation, he thought that Fang Zida was as wrong as ordinary Chinese officials. How could he have imagined that Fang Zida planned to eat meat without spit out bones, and regarded him as a winner.

As for what will happen in the future and how the Japanese will react, Fang Zida doesn't care at all.To put it bluntly, he has hundreds of ways to deal with Little Japan, and when the time comes, he has to let them send the money over, and he is still speechless.

Since Fang Zida gave a clear reply to Yang Du and Yuan Keding, the matter of President Yuan's marriage to his daughter has officially entered the procedure.In a few days, Fang Zida went to the Presidential Palace under the pretext of a family banquet. Yuan Shikai had many children, but only the seventh daughter Fuzhen, the ninth daughter Fuzhen and the tenth daughter Sizhen were of the right age.Apart from the existing marriage contract between Fuzhen and Yin Tiege, the son of Yinchang, the ninth daughter Fuzhen and the tenth daughter Sizhen are quite suitable, but after much consideration, Yuan Shikai decided to marry the tenth daughter Sizhen to Fang Zida.

Yuan Sizhen was born of the third concubine, the Jin family. Old Yuan has always loved this third concubine. Moreover, the second son Kewen, the third son Keliang and Sizhen are all compatriots from the same mother. The Jin family has a high status in the Yuan family. I heard that old Yuan plans to Marrying a daughter, the Jin family immediately became excited. After inquiring about Fang Zida's situation, he took the opportunity of the family banquet to take a look at the son-in-law. Yuan gave Yuan Sizhen the opportunity.

Marriage in the Republic of China was completely different from that a hundred years later, everything was old-fashioned.Although Fang Zida arrived at the presidential palace, he never saw Yuan Sizhen's face at all. Everything was arranged by Yuan Shikai.Everyone knew what Fang Zida was doing here, and what this family banquet represented. Everyone knew it well, and Lao Yuan was not polite. If he mentioned it a little during the meal, Fang Zida, who had been prepared for a long time, agreed to it. Such an attitude made Lao Yuan very happy.

Before leaving, they exchanged the birthday characters of both parties, and the marriage was initially settled.Then Fang Zida formally invited the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage after Fang Zida returned, and then sent the elders to determine the wedding date and so on.Yang Du and Song Jiaoren were helping to handle these matters, so Fang Zida didn't need to worry about everything.

Soon, within half a month, the wedding was going to be held years ago. After the marriage certificate was completed, although Fang Zida and Yuan Sizhen had not yet married, theoretically speaking, he had become Yuan Shikai's son-in-law.Such great news attracted officials in Beijing one after another, some came to congratulate, some came to express congratulations, and of course some rushed to win the relationship according to the wind. There were all kinds of things. It was about to be trampled to pieces.

During this period, the money promised by Uchida Ryohei also arrived. At this time, Uchida Ryohei had returned to Japan, and Fujita Ichiro stayed in China as a dispatcher and became a contact with Fang Zida.It is more appropriate to say that it is contact, but it is more appropriate to say surveillance or supervision. Of course Fang Zida understands this.When the huge check was handed over to Fang Zida, Ichiro Fujita congratulated Fang Zida and Yuan's marriage with a smile, and told Fang Zida not to forget the promise he made at the beginning.Fang Zida was also unequivocal, he just opened his mouth to talk nonsense, not only patted his chest in front of him to reassure him, but also pretended to come up with a non-existent "plan" and bragged about it, and had a discussion with Fujita Ichiro, which made Fujita's eyes shine , Excited.

Of course, Fang Zida did not forget to "recover" the balance when they broke up. Although he didn't say it clearly in his words, it revealed that the more money he gave from Japan, the faster his work progress would be.Seeing the back of Fujita Ichiro nodding repeatedly in agreement and leaving excitedly, Fang Zida laughed secretly, almost bursting with joy.

At the end of the second year of the Republic of China, that is, on December 1913, 12, two days before Christmas in the West, Fang Zida and Yuan Sizhen held their wedding.It is a big event for the President to marry a daughter. Although Yuan Shikai has always asked his children to save money and did not make a fuss about the marriage, there are still countless relatives and friends present. Fang Zida finally waited until it was time to enter the bridal chamber. When he lifted the bride's red head covering, Fang Zida finally saw the appearance of his new wife by candlelight.

Yuan Sizhen was just twenty-eight years old, and although he could not be said to be handsome, he was well-groomed, and he looked a little shy under the candlelight, which made Fang Zida very satisfied.

According to etiquette, the two first drank the carousel wine and chatted softly with each other. Soon, the candles in the bridal chamber were blown out, and Fang Zida slowly pressed down on the beautiful wife in his arms...

After dawn the next day, Fang Zida took his newlywed wife to the presidential palace. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Yuan Keding, Mr. Yuan, greeted him with a smile. You are waiting inside, I came out specially to pick you up."

"Thank you, brother!" Fang Zida and Yuan Sizhen thanked him quickly, and followed Yuan Keding into the door.

After paying respects to his parents-in-law as usual, Jin took the shy Yuan Sizhen to the back to talk quietly, while Fang Zida sat in the front hall with Yuan Shikai and Yuan Keding and his son.

"Shang Ming, we are all a family now, don't be so restrained." Looking at Fang Zida who was carefully sitting in the chair, Yuan Shikai smiled kindly, took out his things and said, "I have already approved the matter of the central bank, this is a transfer order. The documents from the Prime Minister's Office will be issued by Dunchu, and you can take office directly tomorrow."

After receiving it, Fang Zida was overjoyed, and quickly thanked Yuan Shikai.

"You don't have to be like this." Yuan Shikai waved his hand, looked at Fang Zida and warned: "I will leave the matter of the central bank to Zhang Ming in the future. Don't let the old man down!"

"Master Yuefu, please rest assured, I will handle this matter properly."

"Father, Zhang Ming is still very careful in his work, so you can rest assured!" Yuan Keding interjected with a smile on his side, saying good things for Fang Zida.

Smiling and stroking his beard, Yuan Shikai nodded, and then said: "Going back to the mansion today is a family matter, but as the president, family affairs and state affairs have no distinction between each other. In this way, Zhang Ming, I want to ask you some questions about the situation. idea."

"Father-in-law, please tell me." Fang Zida sat down respectfully.

"I've also read the Three Strategies of Zhang Ming carefully. I don't understand the way of economy. After Zhang Ming will run the central bank, I still need to help the old man with a lot of effort from Zhang Ming!"

"It's natural!"

Nodding his head, Yuan Shikai continued: "In the constitutional government of the Republic of China, matters of law mainly depended on the two chambers of Congress and Dunchu. The usual administrative aspects were also under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office. As the president, I will never interfere. If there are many, I will definitely do my best. I support it, but the nationalization of the army mentioned by Zhang Ming in the article, the old man thinks it is right after reading it, I wonder if Zhang Ming has any insights on this?"

Fang Zida smiled slightly. Ever since Yuan Shikai uttered the first sentence, he guessed what Lao Yuan was most concerned about.As expected, Yuan Shikai's most important suggestion to himself was this one, the nationalization of the army.

Yuan Shikai trained at a small station and took over Beiyang, and he reached this position step by step by relying on his strength.It can be said that the army is the lifeblood of his old Yuan, and only the guns of the army are what Lao Yuan cares most about.

In other words, although the Beiyang Army is a national army, it is actually Yuan Shikai's private army, and Yuan Yuan knows it very well in his heart.Regarding the nationalization of the army, Yuan Shikai is particularly concerned. In his opinion, this is not only beneficial to him, but also an opportunity to completely unify the whole country with Beiyang forces. For this reason, he has thought a lot these days and considered a lot, but limited Wherever he saw it, Yuan Shikai didn't know what to do for a while.

Fang Zida had already made up his mind, and was mentally prepared for this. Seeing Yuan Shikai's eyes looking at him, he immediately sat upright and said something.
