Fang Zida didn't know that he was about to be entrusted with important tasks by Song Jiaoren. He was drinking tea and listening to an opera leisurely in a teahouse. The commotion was so violent that the common people below remained indifferent and continued to live their usual lives, visiting the garden, drinking tea, going to Bada Hutong to have fun, chatting and bragging, playing leaf cards... Anyway, everyone should do whatever they want, as if national affairs and These people have no influence at all.

Downstairs on the stage, an old student Yiyi sang without knowing what he was singing, and from time to time, tea guests applauded. In fact, Fang Zida didn't understand these Chinese quintessence at all, but it didn't stop him from pretending He sipped his tea and acted like he was very interested.

"If you want to talk about this Beijing opera, Boss Wang Yaoqing is the first to recommend Boss Wang. Boss Wang's flowered shirt is second to none! I think Lafayette also praised Boss Wang's Jingbai in those days!" Jin Jiu shook his thumb and said He couldn't help shaking his head and humming a few words: "However, since the Qing Dynasty was gone, the Shengping Administration also closed Zhang, and now it's not easy to hear Boss Wang's play, but I heard that Boss Wang will come to you later. Going back to Beijing to hold a special show, if I can listen to it one more time, I will die willingly!"

"Hehe, it's not easy to listen to a special session. I'll just invite Lord Jiu to go." Fang Zida said with a smile, and Jin Jiu was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth when he heard it, and thanked him repeatedly.

These days, Jin Jiu's little life is quite comfortable. Since he sold the old house and got a large sum of money from Fang Zida, his somewhat tight life has immediately become more affluent, and he has changed up and down with new outfits. Not to mention, I can still go to listen to operas every now and then, fight insects, stroll over overpasses and so on, it seems that I have regained the happy time back then.That's not to mention, Fang Zida invited himself out to restaurants and drinks from time to time, and after a few visits, he regained the feeling of being a master, and for this reason, Fang Zida, a very interesting friend, was even more affectionate. deep.

When the old student left the stage, Fang Zida took out his pocket watch to check the time, Jin Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Fang, Master Xia will definitely come, hey! Look! Isn't it coming?"

Looking outside, I saw Xia Shoutian's figure going up the stairs, smiling and standing up, Fang Zida hurriedly walked around the table to meet him.

"Brother Farmer."

"Hehe, brother Zhang Ming, I'm not late." Xia Shoutian asked with a smile, cupping his hands in a friendly manner.

"It's not too late, Brother Gengfu, please take your seat." Fang Zida stretched out his hand to ask, and Jin Jiu who was next to him thoughtfully found a reason to leave first. Before leaving, he specially helped to close the door of the private room. That leaves the two of them.

Xia Shoutian said a few unnutritious polite words first, and then Xia Shoutian said: "Brother Zhang Ming knows about Sun Wen's telegram. This is the first time I have seen the President so angry, to be honest, brother Zhang Ming! You party members have gone too far."

"Hehe, Brother Gengfu, look at what you said, no matter how bad you are, you can't overturn the whole boat with a stick. There are differences between party members and party members." Fang Zida didn't care, and helped Xia Shoutian pour a cup with a smile. The tea is handed over with both hands.

Nodding his thanks, he took the teacup and put it down, Xia Shoutian reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper, then sighed: "Brother Zhang Ming's words are not bad, President Song Dunchu also understands the efforts of your party. Especially thanks to brother Zhang Ming for his contribution, for which the President even took special care of him to express his thanks, just to express his gratitude."

After a quick glance, it was a 5000 tael HSBC bank note. Fang Zida didn't refuse. He put his sleeves on the table and put it in his pocket deftly.He said polite words like "how dare you dare", but in his heart he secretly praised Yuan Shikai for his generosity.

Seeing that Fang Zida had collected the money, Xia Shoutian's attitude towards him became more affectionate, and he even told him something about what happened in the presidential palace today, and told Fang Zida that Yuan Shikai was ready to gather the army to solve the worst case by force. Intend.

"We are fellow compatriots, and we are fighting each other with swords. Brother Gengfu should try to persuade the President more. After all, using force is really a bad idea."

"Actually, the President doesn't know it!" Xia Shoutian said earnestly, "A solution by force is of course the last solution. Sun Tzu's Art of War says at the very beginning: The important affairs of a soldier's country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival must be investigated. More What's more, although the north and the south have different opinions, they are all people of the same country after all. The country was initially established, the Republic of China was established, and congressional elections are in progress. If there is no use of troops, it is better to avoid using them as much as possible. But... Once Sun Wen and others raise troops in the south, If they want to split the country and set up another government, the central government will never sit back and watch, and by that time, the president may have the only way to go."

"This little brother naturally understands." Fang Zida nodded understandingly, frowning with concern.

Seeing Fang Zida's expression, Xia Shoutian smiled and comforted him again: "This is just the worst plan. Brother Zhang Ming doesn't need to worry too much. In fact, the president still wants to coordinate and solve it. Don't hide it from Brother Cheng Ming. I have been entrusted by the President to send someone to Song Dunchu's residence, and the President will invite him to dinner tomorrow, so we may be able to negotiate a way to get the best of both worlds."

"Oh, it's a good thing this way, and the President is far-sighted!" Fang Zida seemed relieved after hearing this, and nodded in praise.

"Brother Zhang Ming is a unparalleled national scholar. At the beginning of Song Dun, getting help from such a great talent as brother Zhang Ming is like adding wings to a tiger. I also ask Brother Zhang Ming to start from the overall situation of the country this time and persuade him to make peace."

"It should be, it should be." Fang Zida replied very modestly: "The younger brother at Dunchu must persuade him well, and as for the president, he still needs to rely on Brother Gengfu to help him a lot."

"That's for sure..." Xia Shoutian nodded in agreement, thought for a while and then smiled: "Brother Zhang Ming, do you intend to become an official in the central government after the election? With Brother Zhang Ming's ability, I think it is more than enough to be the Chief Financial Officer."

"Hahaha, how can my three-legged cat level be the chief financial officer?" Fang Zida laughed dumbfounded and shook his head again and again: "However, if I can contribute to the country at the right time, I, Fang Zida, will not hesitate to do so. In the current situation, Take it easy."

"Hehe, it's fine to take it slow, it's fine to take it slow." Xia Shoutian nodded secretly, and immediately laughed too. The two looked at each other as if they had reached an agreement, each tacit understanding, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

After sending Xia Shoutian away, Fang Zida touched the bank note in his pocket, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that a good show was about to begin.
