Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua glanced at Cui Mingyi and asked knowingly: "Mr. Cui, what's wrong with you here?"

Cui Mingyi was like a fat-headed fish thrown ashore, breathing heavily. When he heard Chen Tianhua's active inquiry, he quickly said: "No...it's nothing."

Taking a closer look at Cui Mingyi, Chen Tianhua suddenly realized that the fat man was frightened by his expression just now, and couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh.

People like Cui Mingyi are capable, visionary, and good at taking sides, but they are just afraid of offending the powerful, so they deserve to be supported by themselves.

Currently, the economic development under the new regime in Jiangnan requires such businessmen to boldly stand up and support the government's economic construction.

"Mr. Cui, Xiaotian has done a very good job as the deputy director of the Political Affairs Committee of the Meiguang Autonomous Region. He is worthy of being a talent who returned from studying abroad. And with your teachings, he is very capable and a talented person." Chen Tianhua said with a smile, knowingly.

He named his eldest son.

Cui Mingyi was overjoyed. Youdao means to be obedient. After hearing what Chen Tianhua said, he wanted to promote his eldest son. He hurriedly said humbly:

"The commander-in-chief is so complimentary. Quanzi has just returned from studying abroad and has only been in the country for three years. He really doesn't deserve the commander-in-chief's praise."

"Three years does not mean that he has not achieved results. Xiaotian is very talented. He combines Western economics with local reality very well and fully understands the New Deal. I admire him very much. I am going to send him to Guidezhou in northeastern Henan to serve as a government official.

Governor."

Cui Mingyi was stunned for a moment and almost fainted from the huge joy.

Guidezhou was the Guide Prefecture, and the governor was the magistrate. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was a fourth-grade civil servant. This was extraordinary.

This basically counts as embarking on the road to great success.

In the future, if the commander-in-chief has a large territory, won't my Xiaotian also have the opportunity to block one side of the town?

Cui Mingyi couldn't hold on any longer and fell off his horse with a thud, causing the guard chief Fei Ge, adjutant Yu Yang and others to panic for a while.

Fortunately, Cui Mingyi had a lot of flesh, so he didn't need anyone to help him after landing. He rolled up by himself, bowed deeply and said:

"I would like to thank the Marshal for supporting Quanzi. The Cui family is full of people. They are willing to go through fire and water for the Marshal without any hesitation."

"Ouch, Mr. Cui, what's going on with you? You can't sit still or you didn't sleep well last night. You're startling everyone. Get up and get on your horse. We still have a lot of ground to go."

Chen Tianhua didn't listen to the flattery. It was just Cui Mingyi's performance just now that made him dumbfounded and urged him quickly.

Feige and Yu Yang worked together to help the fat man Cui Mingyi onto his horse, and the team started running forward in a hurry.

Cui Xiaotian, who had just taken the position of deputy director of the autonomous region and was still not hot on his butt, was ordered by the new Wuchang government to go to the war-torn Shangqiu, which belongs to the front line.

The area of ​​Gui Dezhou is not small. In addition to Shangqiu, it has six counties under its jurisdiction. In addition to the garrison garrison officer Xu Ji, he is mainly responsible for economy and administration, and his deputy is Ning Zexu.

Because he was sent by the Jiangnan government, he felt a bit like an imperial envoy. Xu Ji, Ning Zexu and others came to him for advice on all matters big and small. He even took charge of military appointments and promotions.

Cui Xiaotian's promotion speed was so fast that it also set a record for the fastest promotion speed among officials in Jiangnan.

At this point, another political force that Chen Tianhua strongly supported has officially entered the party.

This is different from the past when he was one of his own personal guards and favorite generals. This time, he was completely represented by the merchant force, which was another new force.

This caused the political structure of Jiangnan to begin to show diversified patterns.

Cui Xiaotian's ascension made the big businessmen of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce ecstatic.

This means that they, the lower class, finally have a spokesperson of their own at the top of the Jiangnan regime and a world of their own.

This is of great significance for improving the social status of businessmen.

In the past, businessmen were very active in providing money and efforts under Chen Tianhua's rule, but their social status has always been somewhat embarrassing.

For thousands of years, the ranking of soldiers, peasants, soldiers, industry and merchants has meant that although they are rich, their political status has always been low.

Although Cui Xiaotian has the status of studying abroad, he is studying abroad at his own expense and is not a public official, but he is actually a businessman.

And his rapid rise also means that Chen Tianhua values ​​businessmen like them and intends to increase their voice in Jiangnan politics.

With Cui Xiaotian's promotion, the happiest person is his father Cui Mingyi, a salt merchant who used to live on Chongming Island. With his keen political vision, he made unexpected moves that year.

Over the past few years, the returns have been astonishing. Not only has he risen to become the secretary-general of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce, with a fortune of hundreds of millions, but his son has also become a core member of the Jiangnan ruling group.

At the beginning of Cui Xiaotian's rise, Cui Mingyi vigorously organized various chambers of commerce to raise donations and raise food, which he continuously transported to Shangqiu to support his son's reconstruction work in Guizhou.

Jiangnan businessmen will naturally not let go of this investment opportunity. Cui Mingyi's successful example is in front of him. If you work hard now, you will be rewarded in the future.

In just a few days, Cui Mingzhou raised hundreds of thousands of taels of money and supplies.

Compared to the fanaticism of his father and the General Chamber of Commerce, Cui Xiaotian is much calmer.

Since returning to China and taking up the post of director of the Finance Bureau of Meiguang Autonomous Region, Cui Xiaotian knew that he had been on the fast track to promotion under the new Jiangnan regime.

Marshal Chen was far-sighted and intended to diversify the political forces under his rule. He did not hide this intention and intention at all.

Sure enough, after only serving as the deputy mayor of Meishan Town for one year, he was transferred to the position of finance director and officially entered the core financial department.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would be transferred again so soon, and that he would be returning to Dezhou.

It can be said that the other prefectures are calm, and they can just follow the steps, but now Guidzhou is the front line. Although the six surrounding counties have been captured, facing the Kaifeng Prefecture just around the corner, the people's hearts are floating, and the Northern Army Intelligence Department Sa

The nails were raging everywhere, killings and looting occurred from time to time, and the people of the whole state were unstable.

It can be said that what he took over was a mess. If he wanted to achieve something in a short period of time, his ability would need to be tested.

If you do it well, your future career will be bright; if you do it wrong, you will have to go back to Meiguang in despair. Your career will definitely suffer a heavy blow, and Chen Tianhua will also be very disappointed.

Therefore, on the way to Shangqiu to take office, Cui Xiaotian had already planned a package of plans.

The new government officials in Jiangnan rarely hired staff like the Manchus did, but Cui Xiaotian had a set of staff who were skilled in copywriting, agriculture, food, criminal justice, and other aspects.

These staff did not occupy the official establishment; they were hired out of his own pocket.

To the Cui family, money is just a drop of money, but what the whole family values ​​​​is political status, honor and reputation.
