Chapter 009 Name! Profit!,
On April 15, 1912, the Qianmen Railway Station in Beijing was full of guards. You can see small national flags everywhere inside and outside the railway station, as if you were preparing to welcome people. From Qianmen Railway Station to both sides of the city road, there were also people standing there, and slogans could be seen everywhere on both sides of the street.
"Promote the spirit of the republic and build a strong China!"
At this time, Yuan Shikai, who was the interim president, came to the train station at this time. Occasionally, he would look at his pocket watch, all of which looked suffocated.
"President, the car will enter the station in a short while!"
Perhaps seeing the President Jiao Qi, Tang Shaoyi said repeatedly.
Although Tang Shaoyi has not felt very comfortable since becoming this prime minister, and even broke up with Yuan, this is a rare occasion since becoming this cabinet prime minister, which has the same opinion as Yuan Shikai. After all, the cabinet now needs more money and has no money. The first one to collapse is the cabinet, not the president.
"Shaochuan, why do you think Li Zicheng is unwilling to get on the float?"
While pondering, Yuan Shikai spit out something he was a little worried about. According to the plan, under his careful arrangement, Xiong Xiling, Liang Ruhao and others made a special trip from Beijing to Tianjin to welcome him. At the same time, a special float train was specially arranged in Tianjin so that he could go directly to Beijing, but he never thought he would refuse.
"President, I think he also wants to save some money for the government!"
Tang Shaoyi's answer made Yuan Shikai murmured in his heart.
"I'm not afraid of him spending money indiscriminately, but I'm afraid he's a money-saving master!"
Perhaps because he noticed the strange color on the President's face, Tang Shaoyi continued.
"President, after the welcome banquet, the President can directly interview him and ask him about his current interests. As for other things, it is better to just tell him directly that the government is willing to support him in various places in the industry and factories, and we can even give his factory ten or twenty years of tax exemption. In this way, he will be grateful to the President."
Listening to Tang Shaoyi's words, Yuan Shikai smiled.
"Shaochuan, you are so smart. Don't use the power of the Prime Minister to plot against me in the future!"
If he had some meaning, Tang Shaoyi was shocked, but he immediately returned to normal.
"How can you do it? If you don't like you, you will be exempted from my position with just one word!"
Although Tang Shaoyi said differently from the temporary agreement, Yuan Shikai put away his smile and said.
"Okay, don't talk anymore, just do what you do."
Then Yuan Shikai touched his beard, thought for a while, but finally said nothing.
Seeing that the president did not speak, Tang Shaoyi quickly complimented.
"The President's arrangement this time is really a great chess. I think if Li Zicheng saw the welcome party prepared by the President for him, he would be very grateful."
Faced with Tang Shaoyi's compliment, Yuan Shikai said nothing, but just raised his lips and smiled. He had invited all the ministers and famous gentry in the capital. If it were Li Zicheng...
"The train is here!"
Suddenly a shout sounded from the platform. When the car was coming, the people on the platform immediately looked towards the direction the train was coming. In the crowd, a group of young girls in Western skirts were even more shy and expectant. Most of them came to "blind dates". Although they could only look at each other at a distance, they also flocked to them.
At 1:00 noon, when the train entered the Qianmen Railway Station in Beijing, Yuan Shikai's representative and the secretary-general of the Presidential Palace had already taken the ministers to wait at the station, plus nearly 10,000 people from the Senate, business, academic, educational, newspapers, foreign guests, etc., plus a majestic military band.
Almost as soon as the train stopped, he saw the field on the platform through the car window. Li Zicheng was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. There was a long red carpet on the ground, and on both sides of the carpet were fully armed army soldiers, and more were officers carrying Western command knives on their waists.
But in the center surrounded by the army and gentry, there were bald men with a short head and a fat figure. That was... Yuan Shikai!
At this moment, Yang Du looked at Li Zicheng by the window. He seemed to be moved and could not speak. He even felt that the "Li Caishen" was moved and his eyes were wet, but he knew that Li Zicheng had a hint of gratitude at this time, but he was more worried and confused.
Yuan Shikai actually greeted Li Zicheng with such a grand scene, which was really beyond Yang Du's expectations, and also made him realize that Li Zicheng. To be precise, his money was worthy of Yuan Shikai's heart, and he even strengthened his previous decision. Seeing that the train had stopped for a while, he was still standing there as if he had not come back to his senses, he reminded him:
"Zhiyuan, it's time to get off the bus!"
"Oh...oh, okay...good! Get off...get off!"
Taking a deep breath, when walking to the door of the car, the military band immediately played the "Song of the Great Commander's Training", and the people who were greeting immediately cheered and shook the small national flag in their hands.
This scene almost scared Li Zicheng back into the carriage and swallowed his mouth. Li Zicheng, who had never seen such a scene, felt sweat coming out of his palms. This... this scene was too big.
silver!
This is all caused by money!
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng calmed down, then took a deep breath again, and learned from the behavior of accompanying his leader to inspect the mine before, and walked off the train with serious and steady steps as much as possible. As soon as the person walked out of the train, a deafening sound of cannons suddenly sounded.
The sudden sound of cannons only shocked Li Zicheng. The sound of cannons...
Just as he was about to watch the cannon be there, Yang Du said softly behind him.
"That's President Yuan. He never welcomes guests. Today, he is making an exception for Zhiyuan."
Following Yang Du's sight, Li Zicheng only saw a man walking out of the red carpet. He saw that the man had a short head and thighs, wide arms and round waist, a red face, bright eyes, and a German military tweed coat. However, even though he looked so rough, he looked like the round ancient bell in the Dazhong Temple.
Looking at the person who existed in "Yuan Datou" and historical pictures, until he approached, Li Zicheng finally saw the face that everyone in China knew clearly. This "thief stealing the country" and "thief stealing the world" looked like...
"Zhiyuan! The President is here!"
When Yang Du's reminder sounded in his ears, Li Zicheng saw Yuan Shikai actually stretched out his right hand to him. He felt panic and hurriedly took a step forward and shouted.
"Have you seen the President!"
At this moment, Yuan Shikai stretched out his hands, held Li Zicheng's hand, and looked him up and down with his eyes.
Today, Li Zicheng wore a black suit, a red-soled black striped silk tie, and black bright leather shoes. His elegant appearance, coupled with this brand new dress, made Yuan Shikai feel like a crane came to the crowd of chickens in front of a large group of dark and quaint jackets and robes.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Yuan Shikai exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
"I have long heard that Mr. Li has Pan An and He Yan's beauty. I always have doubts. How could a person who is as talented as a teacher have such a look? When I saw him today, he was indeed well-known. In front of him, all the children became crows."
This is what he said! Li Zicheng said repeatedly by Yuan Shikai's hand-held.
"The President has been awarded more than the award!"
Li Zicheng noticed that Yuan Shikai did not let go of his hand, but instead held his hand tightly and said enthusiastically and sincerely.
"Zhiyuan, I, Yuan, really want to see Zhiyuan soon! At the beginning, the Japanese newspaper mentioned that you had disembarked from Xia Weiyi, and Yuan thought you were scared back to New York by those reports!"
Yuan Shikai's words made Li Zicheng speak quickly.
"The United States is not my country, New York is not my home, so I have to go back to my country and home anyway!"
With a word in my ear, Yuan Shikai stared at the young man in front of him. After a while, he nodded heavily.
"Okay! Good thing, America is not my country, New York is not my home! This..."
Holding Li Zicheng's hand, he turned around and Yuan Shikai pointed at the welcome crowd and said.
"Zhiyuan, now you're home!"
Yuan Shikai greeted himself with such solemn etiquette, which was something Li Zicheng did not expect, and something unexpected happened after leaving the station. Accompanied by Yuan Shikai, Li Zicheng and his group left the station and boarded Yuan Shikai's luxurious four-shaft carriage specially prepared for him. Under the escort of the military and police, they went to the hotel without any obstacles.
Along the way, although there were military and police who were armed with guns and bullets to maintain order, the crowds of onlookers on both sides of the street were still crowded, and everyone was still scrambling to see the character of this person who was discussed in the country due to the billions of dollars in patents.
Sitting in this luxurious carriage, watching everyone staring at him, Li Zicheng, who had been unable to control himself for several times, leaned out from time to time, and waved his hats to the crowd on the roadside as a greeting. Every wave of his hand from his body, the onlookers cheered like a tsunami. Facing the crowd, the cheers of everyone like a tsunami, and facing Yuan Shikai to give himself this supreme treatment.
For the first time, Li Zicheng became a little relieved and contented from the initial discomfort and embarrassment. In this kind of satisfaction, he still began to enjoy the enthusiasm of the people on the roadside. After walking for a long time in the luxury carriage, he leaned out and waved to the crowd.
"Famous! Profit!"
Feeling the sights that people cast, Li Zicheng, who was a little floating, had a smile on his face. It was not until today that he understood why those people were saying something, and what a real man was chasing for fame and fortune!
(Yuhu, the protagonist has begun to fight with the first modern Chinese person. Is it Yuan Shikai who eats meat or the protagonist who chats with bones? Is it for the subsequent development? Haha! The new book is not easy! Please collect it, please recommend it! Thank you!)
