In the governor's office, Qi Xieyuan was sitting with his back to the huge window. The light shone in against his back, illuminating the governor's face with a gloomy look.

Qi Xieyuan did not give Yang Wei a good look. Although Zhao Jinzhong regarded Yang Wei as a treasure, Qi Xieyuan was a dignified military governor and did not take Yang Wei into his eyes at all. What's more, he originally planned to let Yang Wei serve as a staff officer under him.

, but he was picky and disobeyed orders. Wouldn't it be lawless if he was really promoted?

Qi Xieyuan had a stern face, but Yang Wei was smiling. As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smiling face. He politely saluted Qi Xieyuan and said, "See the warlord."

Tieniu behind him also wanted to follow Yang Wei in saluting, but he had no choice but to hold the gift box in his hand, so he had to hide it awkwardly behind Yang Wei. On the contrary, his action was seen by Qi Xieyuan, who glanced at the gift box and curled his lips.

They were all sending gold and silver, but Yang Wei came over with a broken box. Qi Xieyuan waved his hand and said: "Since Commander Yang has come to take office, he will be a member of the army in the future."

Yang Wei straightened up and said: "The Overseer, taking office today is the second most important thing. The main thing is to prepare a gift for the Overseer. It's a small thing but not a sign of respect." Tempering Blood Mountains and Rivers 57

Yang Wei said this and was about to wave to Tieniu to bring the things up, but Qi Xieyuan snorted, crossed his legs and looked at Yang Wei and said, "Gifts? It seems that Commander Yang's military pay has been settled?"

As a governor, he was so confident in not rationing military supplies. Yang Wei found it funny, but he said respectfully: "Please don't worry, Overseer, Yang Wei has made preparations."

Can one person support a regiment these days? Qi Xieyuan simply does not believe that Yang Wei has such great ability. In his concept, there is no such person. It seems that Yang Wei is just interested in the title of regiment leader. As for the "practice"

Anyway, it's another matter. Come to think of it, he can't afford to cause any trouble.

"However," Yang Wei changed the topic: "I came here today to have another matter. Yang Wei heard that the former Hangzhou garrison commander died in the line of duty and there is no one in his post now. Yang Wei took the initiative to come here today and asked the military governor for approval.

.”

Qi Xieyuan's eyes immediately widened as big as bells, wondering what Yang Wei's plan was? Was being a regiment leader not enough for him? He actually dared to target the security commander's errand. He was simply going too far! Qi Xieyuan's eyes widened with anger.

He said angrily: "If you want anything else, just say it directly. Do you want me to give up the position of the warlord to you?"

Yang Wei quickly waved his hand to calm Qi Xieyuan and said humbly: "I'm afraid the governor has misunderstood. Yang Wei doesn't mean anything else. He just has feelings for Hangzhou, and transportation is also convenient."

Just as he said this, Yang Wei winked at Tieniu, took the statue in his hand and brought it to Qi Xieyuan. He stretched out his hand and said, "This is a small gift prepared for the governor. Please take a look at it."

Qi Xieyuan blew his beard and snorted, and opened the gift box angrily. He thought that Yang Wei gave him something he couldn't see, but he didn't expect that Qi Xieyuan was stunned as soon as the gilded glazed statue came into view.

.

In terms of craftsmanship, the French made it by hand, so it is naturally of the highest quality. In terms of texture, the enamel colors complement each other and change colors under the light, which is simply beautiful. In terms of value, such a statue is 30 centimeters long.

The tall statue is completely gilded, so it must be priceless.

Qi Xieyuan, who was still furious just now, was attracted by this gold-plated and enamel statue in a blink of an eye. He didn't care about anything else. When Qi Xieyuan's son Qi Hongmai celebrated his birthday last year, someone gave him a small gold statue. Qi Xieyuan was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

, but it is nothing compared to the gold-plated and enamel statue sent by Yang Wei.

Looking at Qi Xieyuan's expression, Yang Wei felt proud that he was right in the right position for flattering him this time. Yang Wei knew very well that Qi Xieyuan was a vain man, and whenever he got something rare, he would show it off, so he gave him gold and silver.

It would be better to give him something that is hard to find in the world and has no market price, so that it will suit his heart.

Yang Wei looked at Qi Xieyuan, whose eyes were straight, and whispered from the side: "Warlord, this gold-plated and enamel statue was imported from France and came across the ocean. There is only one like this in the whole of Shanghai. I wonder if the Warlord is satisfied?"

The implication is that Qi Xieyuan has another treasure to brag about this time. After hearing this, Qi Xieyuan was even more satisfied and nodded repeatedly: "Satisfied, satisfied, it really made Commander Yang... no, it cost Commander Yang a lot of money."

It was not for nothing that Qi Xieyuan agreed to Yang Wei's request so readily. Originally, Qi Xieyuan had heard too much about Zhao Jinzhong recently and planned to award the post of Hangzhou Garrison Commander to Liao Huaji. However, Qi Xieyuan did not have any affection for Liao Huaji, but it was just

As his confidant, Zhao Jinzhong tried his best to persuade Liao Huaji before he reluctantly agreed. Qi Xieyuan knew in his heart that both Yang Wei's knowledge and ability were far beyond Liao Huaji's reach.

However, there are outstanding people in Hangzhou, and the Hangzhou garrison commander is a fat errand, so everyone is vying for him, and Zhao Jinzhong is his confidant. Liao Huaji obeys Zhao Jinzhong and gives the job to Liao Huaji.

Only then can the wealth and wealth be kept from outsiders. But today, when he saw how "sensible" Yang Wei was, Qi Xieyuan felt relieved. He saw that Yang Wei's ability to make money was definitely not as good as that of Liao Huaji, and he was also very good at figuring out his own thoughts. Instead of leaving it to Liao Huaji,

Huaji might as well let Yang Weilai take over the post of Hangzhou garrison commander.

Hearing that Qi Xieyuan so happily handed over the post of Hangzhou garrison commander to Yang Wei, Yang Wei was naturally relieved and struck while the railroad was hot: "It's just that there are so many merchants coming and going in Hangzhou, so I'm afraid it won't be managed properly if it's just a regiment of soldiers. I hope that

To expand the strength of the troops, the new regiment allocated by the governor will be expanded into a brigade with two regiments under its jurisdiction. Of course, the military supplies and salaries will be taken care of by themselves, and there is no need for the governor to work hard for it. I wonder what the governor wants?"

Supporting a traveler by yourself? Qi Xieyuan looked at Yang Wei sideways. It seemed that Yang Wei was not ordinary rich. But what is the concept of managing vendors? That is to make money. Yang Wei made such a request, and Qi Xieyuan had no reason to refuse.

, and he happily agreed to Yang Wei's request.

Yang Wei stood up and left the governor's office with satisfaction, leaving behind Qi Xieyuan who was holding the gilded glazed statue and was ecstatic.

People without desires are the most terrifying people in the world, but as long as they have desires, they can cut straight to the point. Greedy people are the best to deal with. Tempering Blood Mountains and Rivers 57

Yang Wei was walking downstairs while thinking about it, but he met Zhao Jinzhong and Liao Huaji who were coming out of the office in the stairwell. Zhao Jinzhong looked at Yang Wei with a happy face and said: "Congratulations.

Here we go, Commander Yang."

Liao Huaji, who was following behind, said in an almost inaudible voice: "He's just a regiment leader."

However, Tieniu immediately heard what he said and said with a frown: "What captain? My eldest brother is now the Hangzhou garrison commander!"
