The soldier who was still kneeling on the ground replied: "Master He only said it was an important matter and didn't say much else?"
Wang Huaiqing frowned slightly, but still showed a nonchalant attitude and said: "Go and invite Mr. He to meet you at the headquarters hall."
"yes."
Then Wang Huaiqing turned to his subordinates and said a few words: "You have taken care of the new military uniforms in the past few days. After the first month is over, I want to see that our patrol camp has a new look from top to bottom. Do you understand?"
All the officers agreed and then took their leave in a sensible manner.
The three soldiers holding Wang Huaiqing's brand-new uniforms and top hats were still standing where they were, not knowing what to do with the new clothes.
Wang Huaiqing took one look at it and gave it up a little impatiently, saying: "Step aside first and send the dress to my house."
After everyone had retreated, Wang Huaiqing's face gradually darkened, and then he walked towards the auditorium.
When he arrived at the auditorium, He Keping had already been brought here and was sitting next to the coffee table in the corner of the auditorium. When he saw Wang Huaiqing entering from the main entrance, he quickly stood up and greeted him. He Keping is now over 40 years old. Although he is now
He is a celebrity who "supports the republic" in Changli County, but he wears the same outfit as before, and even the braid on the back of his head has not been cut off like Wang Huaiqing.
Wang Huaiqing invited He Keping to sit down, and ordered the waiter to serve tea again. After the tea and snacks were ready, he turned away the rest of the crowd. After taking a sip of hot tea, he asked He Keping with a meaningful smile: "Master He
Come see me in the camp today, but is there anything important?"
He Keping said with a smile on his face: "If it is not an important matter, how can I dare to disturb Mr. Wang? In the past few days, I have been discussing with a group of officials all night, and finally decided on a perfect strategy. From now on, all documents and cases on tax affairs will be answered.
If you are fully prepared, even if the superiors investigate, we will have evidence to rely on."
Wang Huaiqing immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you really sure it's all right?"
He Keping said with a smile: "Is it possible that I still dare to joke with Mr. Wang? You must know that this matter was handled by me from beginning to end. If the superiors track it down, I will not be able to escape the blame. But come here today, I will
I still have to tell Mr. Wang some subtle things, firstly, it will be good for everyone, and secondly, I can make some things clear."
Since it was nothing to worry about, Wang Huaiqing naturally relaxed and said with a smile: "Very good, very good. I like to open the skylight and speak frankly. If Mr. He has something to say, just say it directly.
"
He Keping then said calmly: "Mr. Wang, you are a sensible person. In order to deal with the tax affairs, our county government needs to take care of it from top to bottom. Although it has been done now, there is no guarantee that it will be done in the future."
No matter what kind of trouble we encounter, we still have to send people up there to walk around."
With Wang Huaiqing's skill, he immediately understood what He Keping meant, but he pretended to be thoughtful and did not respond for a while.
He Keping knew very well that Wang Huaiqing, an old fox, was greedy and would never be vague as long as he could put something in his pocket. After a brief pause, he continued: "Although there are some provisions in our tax policy in Changli County, after all,
We still have to take some of it and hand it over to the higher authorities. On the one hand, it will be managed and on the other hand, it will be handed over to the public. There is really not much left in the county. So..."
Wang Huaiqing's face gradually became serious, and he interrupted unhurriedly: "What do you mean, Mr. He?"
Seeing Wang Huaiqing's change of expression, He Keping cursed in his heart: He is nainai, and the man surnamed Wang is really relentless. But no matter what, he could only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "
I don’t have any other intentions, I just hope that we can make an agreement with Mr. Wang. From now on, the county government and the patrol camp will always follow the rule of dividing the ranks into four and six. This way, it will be easier for me to have good relations with you, and Mr. Wang will not have any impact."
Upon hearing that He Keping did not ask him to renegotiate the tax division, Wang Huaiqing's face immediately relaxed and he said happily: "What are you saying, Mr. He? Are you afraid that I, Wang Huaiqing, will renege on my word? Mr. He, don't worry, we men have said the same thing, and we will do it today.
This agreement has been made and it will never change again."
He Keping came to meet with Wang Huaiqing this time, and he really hoped to renegotiate the proportion of dividends. After all, he had to make an explanation to the officials and gentry in the county. Once too much was given to Wang Huaiqing, the bureaucrats would have to raise taxes if they wanted to make more.
Taxes were imposed, and once the taxes were increased, it would make things difficult for the gentry and landowners. Although Wang Huaiqing was behind them, these people were not easy to offend.
Having served in Changli County for so many years, he naturally knows Wang Huaiqing's character, so he has prepared two sets of rhetoric before meeting. If Wang Huaiqing refuses to give in, he can only settle for the next best thing and hope to be the best from now on.
If we act according to the "iron rule" of 40 to 60 points, the provincial Wang Huaiqing will be greedy and ask for more one day.
After receiving Wang Huaiqing's promise, He Keping reluctantly smiled and said: "As we all know, Mr. Wang has promised a thousand dollars, and we will make an appointment with Mr. Wang today, so I can feel at ease."
Wang Huaiqing laughed boldly and said: "Haha, where is it? From now on, Mr. He, just don't worry. In addition, if Mr. He encounters any trouble, you can come to me. As long as I can solve the problem, I will never let Mr. He worry.
.”
He Keping nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you in advance, Mr. Wang. Oh, by the way, apart from this matter, I have another matter to report to Mr. Wang today."
Wang Huaiqing asked: "Oh? What's the matter?"
He Keping thought about it subconsciously for a while, and then said: "It's like this, my nephew has been running the grain business in East Zhili. Yesterday he sent a batch of grain to Luanzhou, and he happened to meet an old friend from his former hometown.
And this old friend is currently on duty at the 79 mark."
Wang Huaiqing couldn't help but change his expression, and murmured: "Is it related to the Seventy-nine Standards?"
He Keping continued: "That's it. My nephew heard from his old friend that recently Luanzhou also established a republic government with the support of the Seventy-nine Biao. However, it is said that the gentry in Luanzhou did not support it very much.
This republic government. And there are some differences on this matter within the Seventy-nine Biao. Their acting Biao leader Zhang Jiangong believes that the Twenty-Twenty Town will soon be transferred back to outside the customs, so it should not interfere with local government affairs.
There is a staff officer named Yuan who has been actively operating in Luanzhou and seems to want to do something big in Luanzhou."
Wang Huaiqing didn't know the agent Zhang Jiangong, but he was very impressed by the staff officer named Yuan. He knew that this person must be Yuan Su without much guessing. When he thought of Yuan Su, he felt like his teeth were itching.
There was a hatred in my heart that could not be dissipated for a long time. At first, I had praised Yuan Su, but I didn't expect that this stinking yellow-haired boy would turn his back on him.
He has always been worried about this matter. In his opinion, Yuan Su is an ungrateful villain.
He Keping paused briefly and said: "I heard from the news brought back by my nephew that there seems to be another plan being hatched within Seventy-nine Biao, which seems to be to break away from Twenty Town and occupy Luanzhou."
Wang Huaiqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Leave Twenty Towns? Occupy Luanzhou? Did your nephew hear all this news from that old friend?"
He Keping was stunned for a moment, then carefully thought about what Wang Huaiqing meant, and then said: "It is true that my nephew heard it from his old friends."
Wang Huaiqing said: "Seventy-nine bids are trying to break away from Twenty Towns. How can such a big thing be publicized everywhere?"
He Keping chuckled and said: "I don't know the situation on the New Army side. The reason why I mentioned this matter to Mr. Wang is simply because I thought it might be a profitable thing."
Wang Huaiqing asked attentively: "Is it profitable?"
He Keping further said: "Just think about it, Mr. Wang, after all, Twenty Towns are soldiers outside the customs. During the time they were transferred to the customs, accidents occurred frequently. How could the capital allow such an unreliable force to stay in Kinki?
Therefore, I speculate that what Zhang Jiangong, the agent of the 79th bid, said is very likely to be correct, and the 20 towns will be transferred back to outside the customs sooner or later."
Wang Huaiqing gradually realized something and immediately said: "Master He means that after the twenty towns are transferred back to the outside of the customs, our patrol battalion will also take over the defense of Luanzhou?"
To say that it is taking over the defense is just superficial, and it means nothing more than occupying the territory of Luanzhou.
He Keping nodded with a smile and said: "Once all the twenty towns are evacuated, there will be only the patrol battalion of Lord Wang in the East Zhili area. If Lord Wang does not manage the surrounding public security, who can the common people count on if any trouble occurs?
?”
Wang Huaiqing was very satisfied with what He Keping said, and nodded seriously and said: "Master He's words are very true. We soldiers are responsible for maintaining the stability of the country. This is our duty and our duty."
He Keping had no interest in Luanzhou. At the same time, he knew very well that whether Wang Huaiqing could occupy Luanzhou or not, it would not be of any benefit to him. The reason why he encouraged and hinted was just to hope that Wang Huaiqing would pay attention.
Focusing on the fat piece of Luanzhou, Changli County can breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he said: "Sir Wang has been guarding Tongyong Town for many years. It is really a tribute to his hard work. Zhili is an important place in Kinki. Beijing will rely on Mr. Wang to protect the safety of Kinki no matter what. I believe it won't take long before Mr. Wang will be appointed.
Serve as patrolling envoy, pacifying envoy, guarding envoy and other important generals, and then Sir Wang will be more justified."
This was originally just flattering words, but no one can say whether it will be realized.
But when Wang Huaiqing heard it, he realized something else. Kinki is such an important place. If he can gain a foothold and establish his power here, President Yuan will definitely want to win over him more and more.
Do you get any official position you want?
Thinking of this, Wang Huaiqing became more and more interested in the territory of Luanzhou. In his opinion, everything was just in his own pocket. Now he only needed to wait for Twenty Towns to receive orders to withdraw outside the customs.
As for Yuan Su, he did not ignore it. On the one hand, he did not believe that this old friend of He Keping's nephew was an old friend. An army was about to break away from its superiors. How could such a serious matter be leaked so easily?
On the other hand, he was sure that Yuan Su would not be able to accomplish anything big. Wouldn't it be wrong to say that Yuan Su would not have the guts? Even if Yuan Su was really plotting to launch the Seventy-Nine Bid Li, considering that the opponent was a yellow-haired boy with no qualifications and no funds, Seventy-Nine
Why is Biao making trouble with a yellow-haired boy?
What's more, he still hopes that Yuan Su will continue to stir up some troubles in Luanzhou. Counting the private purchase of arms before, this time he is so arrogant about du li. Even if Pan Juying, the commander of the twenty towns, dare not take care of it, the governor of Zhili
Will Zhang Zhenfang just sit back and watch the domineering nonsense of someone in his jurisdiction? Once the dispute breaks out, President Yuan will not even be able to save his own face, and this young boy named Yuan will surely reap the consequences.
"Master He's words are too presumptuous, everything depends on the meaning above, hahahaha!" Then Wang Huaiqing laughed heartily.
