"Um."

Yuan Shikai nodded briefly, then glanced at Li Zicheng in a playful manner, and then said.

"If you were to clear the meeting in front of me, based on the conditions you offered, even if I don't deal with you, the princes and ministers will not be able to spare you, but..."

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shikai suddenly smiled again.

"Zhiyuan, how do you know that I will not agree to you! I agree to your conditions!"

Yuan Shikai's words only surprised Li Zicheng. He never expected that Yuan Shikai would actually agree to him. Didn't he know that his demands were many times more excessive than those of the Russians and Japanese. Yuan Shikai could still agree to him. He

, what is Yuan Shikai’s idea?

Originally, he just thought that this was a secret chess piece given to Yuan Shikai, but then he understood what he meant, and he asked for an exorbitant price to pay back the money by building the land, but he agreed!

Li Zicheng's face was full of surprise, but Yuan Shikai looked at him with joy in his heart. After all, this boy was still a young man. He thought that after studying foreign ink for a few years, he could scare others.

"but!"

After spitting out two words, Yuan Shikai picked up the black jade cup on the table and took a big sip, then put the cup down again and continued:

"I can agree to your conditions, but others may not be able to agree to you, and may even have thoughts of killing you..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became solemn. With a wry smile, Li Zicheng knew that Lao Yuan must have wanted to take the opportunity to knock something out of him and give him a gift first, but this gift was

I wanted to take it back, but I couldn't bear to take it back.

But what does he want to get from himself?

"However, the matter is settled like this. If others don't believe you, I believe you. The United States is not my country and New York is not my home. Those who can say these words have a lesson to learn!"

First he gave a compliment, and then Yuan Shikai said again.

"Zhiyuan, it seems that the Longhai Railway will definitely be handed over to Liuhe. Road construction and road construction always require workers. Let's do this. As the saying goes, send Buddha to the west, and I will help you.

A handful..."

When Yuan Shikai mentioned the word "gang", Li Zi listened carefully and at the same time considered in his mind whether there was any conspiracy behind his word "gang".

"...Although the North and the South have reached a consensus on demobilizing the militiamen with gracious payments, such demobilization also leaves consequences. Some of the militiamen who were originally from Green Forest returned to Green Forest after they were disbanded, robbing homes and houses, and disrupting social order. So,"

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shikai looked at Li Zicheng and said sincerely.

"When it comes to helping you, it's better to ask Zhiyuan to help a group of people from the country, or to hire tens of thousands of people to demobilize the civilian army when building roads in Liuhe, so as to prevent them from returning to the green forest, robbing homes and homes, and disturbing the people and the country.

.”

Listening to Yuan Shikai's "help", Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Old Yuan, Old Yuan, there is no one smarter than you. You are trying to help me here and there, but you are clearly trying to... trick me. You sent tens of thousands of bandits to the construction site, which is basically..."

No need to think about it, Li Zicheng knew what Yuan Shikai wanted to do, and he sent him a secret chess move, but Yuan Shikai dug a hole for him to jump into, and...

"Zhiyuan!"

At this time Yuan Shikai suddenly said again.

"This favor is not only for you, but also for the country and the people. I don't know what Zhiyuan thinks!"

For the country, for the people!

Such a big hat was slapped on his face, which only made Li Zicheng smile bitterly, but also felt funny at the same time.

For the country, for the people!

If you really serve the country and the people, how could you come up with such a naughty idea to deceive me!

When he raised his head, he found that Yuan Shikai's big and bright eyes were filled with a look of trust. He was as loyal as a traitor, and a traitor as loyal as a traitor. Perhaps he was talking about Yuan Shikai.

Seeing that Li Zicheng hesitated for a long time without sending a letter, Yuan Shikai smiled at first, but then said lukewarmly.

"Zhiyuan, to be honest, this is also to silence those individuals. After all, handing such a huge benefit to an individual will only arouse suspicion in others and make other countries greedy, so they can use it as an excuse to demand

National interests, no, if you recruit those militiamen, the government will have an excuse to block those people, especially foreign countries!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng still looked embarrassed, Yuan Shikai then said with a smile.

"Actually, this matter is not difficult. They are just a group of civilian soldiers who have surrendered their guns. If your Liuhe were to build the Longhai Railway, the workers alone would probably have to hire 30,000 to 40,000 people. Even though they are civilians,

Army, after all, they are all young and strong laborers. No matter what, they will work in the army for a few months. If they are trained strictly, they will be considered good workers."

Li Zhang’s training?

I smiled bitterly in my heart, fearing that if I didn't train them, the so-called "migrant workers" over there would cause trouble. When the road workers were in trouble, if I couldn't suppress it, Yuan Shikai wouldn't just send troops in, Yuan Shikai said.

This abacus was made with great precision.

Taking the risk of beheading, he made a condition that he thought he could not accept, but he didn't expect that he actually accepted it. Then he made another request that was not a condition, but this "request" was very difficult for him.

It's fatal in general, and if you're not careful, there's a risk of losing your head.

It was not cut down by Yuan Shikai, but by those dissatisfied heroes who were called migrant workers but were actually green forests.

What he said about serving the country and the people was bullshit. He was simply trying to "encircle" himself with the law. Yuan Shikai's previous words were at most just trying to silence foreigners. Maybe, maybe it was true.

If the government gives itself such generous conditions, it would be strange if the great powers wouldn't be jealous. But Yuan Shikai only needs to ask them to accept "retired soldiers", and he can block all those countries back. Even the Japanese are not willing to replace Yuan Shikai.

Support tens of thousands of veterans.

But at least he was a veteran! And what did he want to stuff here?

They are a group of unemployed vagrants and green woods, all a bunch of "heroes" who refuse to obey discipline!

He thought about him in his mind, but when he looked up at the smile on Yuan Shikai's square face, Li Zicheng understood that he had no choice.

When he came to this time and space, Li Zicheng sighed sincerely, stood up suddenly, and almost gritted his teeth and said to Yuan Shikai.

"President, since it is a state matter, then... Zicheng is willing to do whatever it takes to do it!"

"good!"

He also stood up and held Li Zicheng's hand tightly. A very happy smile appeared on Yuan Shikai's face.

"Zhiyuan, I have accepted your patriotism today."

The three of them sat down again. Looking at Li Zicheng who seemed a little unwilling, Yuan Shikai secretly felt happy in his heart. Boy, you must have known that Jiang is old and hot today! But he said with a slightly sad face.

"The years go by so fast, these decades have passed in a blink of an eye, I am getting old and looking at you,"

Pointing his hand, Yuan Shikai praised again.

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and I am getting old!"

"The President is in his prime years. The younger generation is really too young. From now on, we will have to listen to the President's teachings more often!"

Li Zicheng quickly flattered him, but at the same time he flattered him, he felt mixed feelings in his heart. He had been tricked to the core and still had to laugh with him. I was afraid it would only be this once.

Old Yuan! Old Yuan!
