Chapter 38 Yuan Mansion Family Banquet

When Wang Maoru made money in the United States, it was because of the Second Revolution in the South of the Assassination of Song, a student movement occurred in Beijing. Even the students at Baoding Army University made a fuss and marches in the riots. Yuan Shikai ordered the rectification of academic style. Some students were arrested, and the students involved in the troubled trouble were immediately fired, which shocked the ambassadors of various countries. The Beijing government and the Western ambassadors had a very tense relationship. Wang Maoru used the excuse of the Russian ambassadors' wife to hold a birthday party to reorganize relations with the ambassadors of various countries. Not only did he calm the diplomatic accusations, but he also brought the eldest son Yuan Keding closer to foreigners. Even because of this incident, Yuan Shikai even admired Wang Maoru more.

Lu Jianzhang sent his secretary to find Wang Maoru, indicating that the president wanted to see you. Wang Maoru nodded faintly and said he knew. After the others left, Zhao Jiacheng said, "Xiusheng, don't you want to see him?" Wang Maoru said confidently: "Why don't I want to see him? It's just that this invitation is almost too late. He should have seen me two years ago, but he just sent me to the Ministry of Education and really treated me as a literati." Zhao Jiacheng said, "So that's it, so how do you prepare to treat him when you go to Xiusheng?" Wang Maoru smiled and said, "I don't say anything astonishing as he can!"

In Yingtai, it turned out that Yuan Shikai met Wang Maoru for the first time, but Yuan Shikai held a family banquet. Because Yuan Keding recommended Wang Maoru, others also recommended Wang Maoru as a great scholar, the author of "The Rise of the Great Power", Gu Weijun, as the senior secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also received great appreciation from Yuan Shikai, because Gu Weijun recommended that Wang Maoru's analysis of the international situation of international relations and no one in the country could match. Wang Maoru followed Yuan Keding to have a drink at the table of his juniors. When the banquet ended, someone sent a message to Wang Maoru and asked him to go over, so he went to the house with Yuan Keding. As soon as he entered the house, he was startled. There were more than a dozen people in the room. When he saw that the Thirteenth Taibao and so on were here, Yuan Shikai directly said, "Mr. Xiusheng? You are finally willing to come to see me." It seemed that Wang Maoru was arrogant because of his talent.

Wang Maoru smiled and greeted a younger man. He was the youngest here, and Yuan Shikai held a family banquet, so it was appropriate to greet him, saying, "How dare you, how dare you?"

"You are so brave. I don't give you the funds and auditing department of the Ministry of Education to do not do the research, but I went to the United States to make a fortune." Yuan Shikai said.

Wang Maoru said: "Haha, I don't know how to make a fortune, but I've achieved a little success. Compared to the God of Wealth, the younger generation is a little yellow croaker who sees the sea whale."

Liang Shiyi smiled and Yang Du said, "Little fox, you really know how to talk."

"Senior Yang Xizi, the unparalleled master of the country, praised it, praised it." Wang Maoru bowed his fists and said with a respectful respect to Yang Du.

Yuan Shikai said: "I heard Keding and Gu Weijun say that you are familiar with the international situation and the secrets of European countries? Then you will talk about the situation in Europe and the United States. "

Wang Maoru immediately shouted: "His Excellency the President, the official asserted that Europe will fight one battle, and Europe will fight one battle!"

"Absurd, absurd!" Cao Kun, who was on the side, shouted, "What do you know? There will be a war in Europe. Europe has a century of peace, so how can it be a war?"

The others hurriedly asked why they said this. Yuan Shikai was also very curious and asked, "Xiusheng, don't be exaggerated."

Wang Maoru hurriedly apologized and said, "The officials are not alarmist. Now European countries are actively preparing for war to increase imports, just to prepare for war. Dear seniors also know that there are seven major countries in Europe, namely Britain, Germany, France, Austro-Hungary, Russia, Italy and Spain. Germany and Austro-Hungary have the same race and language, and the emperors of the two countries are also cousins, forming an allied country. Britain, France and Russia form an allied country to restrain them. The two groups are constantly conflicting, among which Britain, France and Russia are the first to divide the world's wealth, while Germany, Austro-Hungary's new rise, and their rapid rise has made other old empires frightened. The two groups have constant conflicts and frictions, and Europe is now a powder keg, and it is only a little bit of Mars to detonate. Once it is detonated, the European civil war will bring us good opportunities to develop."

Secretary Yang Du retorted: "What does it have to do with us, the European civil war?"

Wang Maoru asked back: "Senior, what is the European civil war fighting?"

"Of course it's the army." Someone answered.

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "With the answer right, except for the army, the fight is still resources, and logistics, including guns, food, and steel. If we seize the opportunity and dump our country's products into Europe, will the country be prosperous and the people be strong just around the corner?"

Yang Du laughed and said, "After all the time, it's about your businessmen. Xiusheng, you never forget to make money." Others laughed, all knowing that he recently opened a canning factory. Because of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the First Division, Third Division of the Beiyang Army stationed in Zhili, and the newly formed Seventh Division of the Beiyang Army stationed in Zhili have placed orders. If the canning factory is built, the orders obtained from the army every year will be hundreds of thousands of oceans.

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "You haven't thought about making money? What are the kettles, military quilts, military boots, armed belts, bullets, guns, cans, iron cups, forks and spoons? Once Europeans fight, they may not be short of them for a year or two. However, once the war exceeds two years, these things will be in urgent need, and the opportunity for you to get rich is also here."

Yang Du smiled again and said, "You have snatched Liang Caishen's job."

Wang Maoru said, "Aren't you provoking Liang Shiyi to punish me?" It seems that you, Secretary-General Yang, are not very good and have a bad mind. He laughed and said, "How can I compare with Mr. Liang? He is considering the wealth of a country. What I consider is only the wealth of a family. I am much more relaxed, haha."

Liang Shiyi's expression then improved. Yuan Shikai nodded and said, "Yes, you have the ability to make money for everyone." Because of Yuan Shikai's words, the Northern Business Federation asked him to be the president, and Wang Maoru refused to take responsibility. However, there were any disputes in the business world, and others asked Wang Maoru, who was impartial and coordinated, was quite famous.

The Six Gentlemen and Thirteen Grandpa all strongly advocated the imperial system. Some people suggested that the eldest son must not have military power if he wanted to inherit the throne. He suggested that the eldest son lead the troops, so Yuan Keding asked his father to lead the troops.

Before becoming the president, Yuan Shikai allowed his children to serve as important positions, but after becoming the president, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not allow the Yuan family to come out to be an official. However, during the mutiny in Beijing, Yuan Shikai found that there were many factions under his command and he had gradually lost control of the army.

So, after taking power, Yuan Shikai began to rebuild his army. At this time, Jiang Fangzhen, the principal of Baoding Army School, proposed to train a "model regiment" to reorganize the military power, and Yuan Shikai adopted this opinion. The so-called "model regiment" means to draw officers at all levels from each division to serve as officers and soldiers, and establish a regiment. After half a year of training, he sent them to each division to act as officers to transform and optimize the officer structure in the army.

At the beginning, Yuan Shikai planned to let Cai E, who came to Beijing in Yunnan, serve as the leader of the model regiment, but this proposal was rejected because of opposition from the Beiyang generals. After hearing about this, Yuan Keding also wanted to learn from Yuan Shikai's experience of training in small stations, so he proposed to the old man that he would serve as the leader of the model regiment. Yuan Shikai began to feel inappropriate, and Yuan Keding said that when he was in Germany, he found that the German royal family could only hold military positions in China and were not allowed to interfere in internal affairs. This was a good way to imitate.
