cＣHe has a curly brown head, thin lips, delicate hands, slender fingers, and a beard. Perhaps due to the experience, he is strong in physique, strong muscles, and neat in manners. Anyone who sees him will think he is a professional soldier.

Grant lowered his head and looked at Xuan Yuemeng, thinking it was very fun. He didn't expect that the famous Xuan Yuemeng would be like this, although Li Xiande had already introduced Xuan Yuemeng to him in detail.

The cute president looked up at Grant and blinked his eyes. When he saw Empress Dowager Cixi, he was a little nervous, but when he saw a foreign president, the cute president had no feeling at all, it was like an ordinary business negotiation.

In the eyes of the cute young master, it is like an ordinary official. No matter how old you are, you are still working. No matter how young I am, I am also the boss!

Grant is a US leader, a general of the 6th Army, and the 18th US President.

US President Grant is also the first president in American history to graduate from West Point Military Academy. The style of a soldier can be seen in every move.

In the late period of the American Civil War, he served as commander-in-chief of the Federal Army and made many extraordinary achievements.

But being able to fight is not equivalent to being good at governing politics. Grant's mediocre achievements are a clear contrast with his outstanding military achievements.

His compromise and concession to the southern slave owners and his tolerance and condolence towards corrupted subordinates have aroused general dissatisfaction among voters.

The current huge economic crisis has made Grant look anxious and exhausted.

The cute president smiled slightly and stretched out his fat claws, "Hello, Mr. President."

US President Grant also found it funny when he looked at Xuan Yuemeng, who was knee-high. If Xuan Yuemeng hadn't been accompanied by a bunch of well-suited assistants, Grant would have thought it was an April Fool's Day joke.

"Hello, are you the boss of Klinsmann Foreign Company? I really didn't expect that this company that has risen very quickly would be founded by a child. You are very powerful. Please read the book W÷ｗΩＷΩＱingKanShu．cC” After all, the president is the president. Although he finds it funny, he still regards Xuan Yuemeng as a normal visitor.

It is a big chance that Grant can bring the US president, and even Grant himself finds it very surprising.

In July 1866, the US team added the rank of general, and Johnson awarded the first rank of general to Grant. But Grant had great reservations about Johnson's practice of condoning southern rebels.

In August 1867, Johnson wanted to remove Stanton from his post because the Secretary of the 6th Army Stanton disagrees with him, but was boycotted by the Senate. So he used the presidential power to order the suspension of Stanton's post and appointed Gran as interim minister.

In early 1868, the Senate formally refused the president's request to remove Stanton from his post as Secretary of the 6th Army, and Grant resigned from his post as interim minister.

Johnson publicly accused Grant of his move as unfaithful to the president. Grant turned angrily to the Republican radicals and participated in the impeachment campaign against President Johnson.

Although the impeachment movement failed, Johnson had lost his reputation and could not participate in the presidential election that year.

Who will be elected to be president?

This was a major issue in the 1868 US election.

Many people in the Republican Party have taken a fancy to Grant, who has made great achievements in the civil war, and believe that a famous person like Grant will definitely have great appeal if he comes to the election.

But some people disagree, believing that Grant has no experience in governing and no clear political program, especially his ambiguous attitude towards the most important issue at that time, the issue of reconstruction in the South.

However, the Republican Party had no other suitable candidate at the time, so Gran successfully became the party's presidential candidate and easily defeated Democratic opponent Horasha Seymour in the election.

On March 4, 1869, 46-year-old Grant became the 18th president of the United States.

At the beginning of Grant's administration, reformers placed hopes on the president who was in the political world.∮Please read the book Wｗ∮Ｗ∮Ｗ（．

Grant also seems to want to reform the civil service system.

Like all the new White House owners, Grant is very troubled by those seeking officials.

Grant once said, "The power to appoint officials is the bane of the presidency, and in this country, no one is more eager to reform the civil service system than the president."

But Grant performed mixed on this issue, and he asked Treasury Secretary George Sewell Bowtwell, Interior Secretary Cox and Attorney General Hall to implement fair examinations in their respective ministries to determine the promotion and appointment of certain positions; in an annual address to Congress in 1870, Grant urged reform legislation, and the two houses made a joint decision to authorize the President to form a committee to formulate new rules for civilians.

Grant appointed George William, editor of Harper Weekly, to lead the committee.

The committee recommends various competitive examinations as necessary conditions for obtaining civil servant positions at all levels and urges the cancellation of political parties' approval of wages.

Grant ordered the implementation of these rules from 1872. But Congress refused to allocate sufficient funds to prevent the committee from effectively implementing the new rules.

Only a few government departments adopted certain regulations, and the civil service system was not completely reformed during Grant's tenure.

The biggest problem facing Grant is how to deal with the political status of the southern rebellious states.

After the end of the Civil War, all the southern states were controlled by radical Republicans. They supported giving free people the right to citizenship and suffrage.

In the late 1860s, radical Republicans began to lose power in the South, and many of them were defeated by Democrats. But Democrats simply did not want to give free people any rights.

The earliest radical Republicans lost power in the South was in Virginia, where changes in Virginia were carried out in a peaceful manner.

That's not the case in other states, Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina, where Democrats won the election with threats and violence.

Shortly after the end of the civil war, the Klan Klan appeared one after another in the southern states.

In 1871, Republican Congress members demanded that laws be enacted to ban the Klan Klan.

A Republican-based investigation committee was formed to investigate the actions of the KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

After several debates, Congress passed the bill. The bill granted the president the power to exercise military control in southern states. Democrats accused the bill of the purpose of ensuring Republican power in the South.

Grant acted quickly under the bill, announcing military control in much of South Carolina, with thousands arrested and they will be tried in federal court, with a jury composed mainly of free people and radical Republicans.

Grant also made a series of mistakes in organizing the cabinet and arranging relatives and friends. Hamilton Fish, who had chosen to withdraw from politics for 20 years, was really confused and helpless; the three finance ministers he selected were either illegal, corruption, or experts in bribery and bribery, but the only excellent minister of war, John Rollins, died young.

In the arrangements of US President Grant and his relatives and friends, a typical nepotism practice was adopted.

Originally, Grant was once an unpopular prodigal son in his family, and was regarded as supreme after being elected president.

Some relatives and friends who used to laugh at him took the opportunity to make money.

Mrs. Grant's family, Julia Dent, was in charge of the Employment Administration and was unscrupulous in taking bribes.

Several other members of the Dent family also entrusted important tasks in public institutions with the help of Grant.

Grant's two sons hold important positions in the army and bank respectively.

Political critics complain that the Grant family is "one person in power, and the chickens and dogs are in power."

During Grant's tenure, there were countless scandals in other aspects.

The cute president made sufficient information before this meeting and knew that US President Grant was a president with no political and economic level. He looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. However, being able to get to this position is what the cute president needs to flatter!

Although the cute president didn't know how much money Li Xian had to spend for him to meet with the president this time, it must have cost money. The cute president knew very well, so he also planned to spend money!

"Mr. President, this is my gift, a calligraphy book from the Qing Dynasty." The cute president said with a smile.

Although this is just a calligraphy book that the cute president usually practices, and can buy several calligraphy books in a copper plate in the Qing Dynasty, when Grant sat down and opened it, he was shocked because there was a check of 200,000 US dollars in the middle.

Grant opened the book and saw the check at a glance. He closed it all at once, his eyes widened a lot, and he returned to its original state. Grant did not expect Xuan Yuemeng to be so direct.

US President Grant frowned slightly and looked at Xuan Yuemeng: "Mr. Manager, your calligraphy is too expensive, I cannot accept such a gift."

The cute president closed the calligraphy book instead of taking out the check and returning it to him. He knew that the information he knew was not a problem. This was a greedy thing, and US President Grant was already tempted!

The cute president just smiled slightly, looking very ordinary, casual, and gossiped: "Mr. President, this can work for you to appreciate Eastern culture. I hope you can accept my feelings. This is a secret hobby between the two of us. In the future, I will give you more similar calligraphy works."

The 200,000 US dollars is definitely a huge sum of money even for the president’s family!

US President Grant's mood in the face of this huge sum of money is the same as Li Xiande's feeling when facing the cute president's ten thousand dollars. No one in the world can refuse huge sums of money, especially officials from capitalist countries, and the president is just an official.
