Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Only after Yuan Shikai died and the Beiyang government split did these people have the opportunity to develop.

Cao Yuanzheng's message was very timely.

Currently, Zhao Bingjun is still the general manager, and the Cao Yuanzheng line must continue to be maintained.

Shen Hao sent 10,000 silver dollars to Cao Yuanzheng through his bodyguards in the capital.

That evening, Shen Hao and Bai Ling continued playing 'Kun'.

The next day, Shen Hao went to inspect the training base early in the morning.

Looking at the orderly scene, Shen Hao was quite satisfied.

Moreover, the car that Becker promised had arrived, and Shen Hao couldn't wait to take it for a spin.

Just as everyone was having a good time, suddenly, the police summoned Shen Hao.

"Brigade Commander, Governor Hu requests your presence at the Governor's Mansion. He says there's important business to discuss."

Shen Hao was taken aback. Why did Hu Ningmin want to see him?

However, since this Lao Hu is also the top official in Guangdong Province and Shen Hao's nominal superior, Shen Hao still intends to meet him.

"Let's go see this Governor Hu."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Hao drove to the provincial capital with several guards.

What frustrated Shen Hao was that none of his many subordinates could drive, so he had to do it himself, which made him feel a bit inferior.

On the road, ordinary people instinctively avoid cars; in this day and age, only the powerful and influential can afford to drive them.

Even if a wealthy person can afford to buy a car, they can't afford to drive it.

Not only does the driver have to pay 20 yuan a month, but gasoline is also ridiculously expensive.

Gasoline is a military-controlled commodity; even if you have money, there are no gas stations available.

This is not counting.

Not only is the car very expensive, costing 40,000 yuan.

They are expensive luxury items, and because the parts cannot be produced domestically, car tires and spare parts need to be shipped from overseas. Therefore, the maintenance costs of cars are very high, and the cost of maintenance and repairs is exorbitant.

A single tire costs 50 silver dollars; how could a typical nouveau riche afford that?

A single car repair cost a gold bar; you could say that if you opened a car repair company during the Republic of China era, you'd be rich.

The social status of car repairmen is ridiculously high, and they get to know high-ranking military and political officials.

After driving for more than two hours, Shen Hao was quite tired, but they finally arrived in the provincial capital.

Once we entered the provincial capital, the number of cars gradually increased.

Of course, there were only a few of them, along with buses, trolleybuses, and streetlights.

Now that's more like a provincial capital.

On the way, Shen Hao didn't even honk his horn.

Upon seeing the car, everyone ran away in fright.

They were terrified of being hit by a car and killed.

In this day and age, there are no car accidents, and no traffic police will come out to determine liability for you.

If you die in a crash, you die.

These days, car owners are either high-ranking officials or foreigners who are considered superior.

Even if you kill someone in a car accident, you won't be held legally responsible; you'll just have to pay compensation.

If someone is killed in a traffic accident, the person only needs to pay 150 yuan in funeral expenses.

A human life costs about the same as three tires.

At this point, none of the cars had turn signals, so Shen Hao had to honk the horn frantically.

After asking around the whole way, we finally found the Governor's Mansion.

Upon arriving at the Governor's Mansion, the two policemen at the gate, though not recognizing Shen Hao, showed great respect upon seeing the car.

Salute directly.

When they saw Shen Hao get out of the car, they were a little surprised, not expecting him to be a young playboy.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

Shen Hao said, "I'm looking for Governor Hu."

"you are?"

"I am Shen Hao."

Upon hearing this, the two policemen who opened the door widened their eyes.

He immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Brigade Commander Shen. Governor Hu is waiting for you in his study. Please come with me."

Shen Hao followed the police into the governor's mansion.

I must say, this governor's mansion is truly luxurious.

Hu Ningmin also heard the news and went out to greet them.

Seeing Hu Ningmin standing at the study door, Shen Hao smiled and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Commander Hu."

Hu Ningmin stepped forward and grasped Shen Hao's hand, saying, "I've long heard of your great reputation, and seeing you today, it's truly well-deserved!"

Shen Hao said, "Not at all, I was just lucky, and I caused Governor Hu a lot of trouble."

"Haha, no trouble at all. If everyone else were as capable as you, our country would have become strong long ago. Why would we be allowed to be ridden on by foreigners?"

Shen Hao said, "Lord Hu, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary person."

Hu Ningmin smiled and said, "Please have a seat."

"Someone, bring out that box of treasured tea!"

"Yes, sir"

After the maid left, instead of pouring tea, he went to the back room and found Hu Ningyuan.

"Miss, Brigade Commander Shen is here."

Hu Ningyuan, who was reading, froze, and hurriedly asked, "Really? You saw the real person?"

The maidservant smiled happily and said, "He's so handsome in person, even more so than in the photos, and he has such a refined and elegant demeanor."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ningyuan was thrown into turmoil.

"Come on, take me to see it."

The maid nodded.

A moment later, the maids slowly came up with two cups of tea.

At the same time, a pretty and well-behaved woman appeared behind the barrier, peeking out slightly and stealing glances at Shen Hao.

When I saw Shen Hao sitting there calmly, even more handsome than in the photos, my heart pounded.

My heart was pounding in my throat.

Shen Hao seemed to have a magnet, firmly drawing Hu Ningyuan's gaze.

After taking a sip of tea, Shen Hao exclaimed, "Excellent tea!"

Hu Ningmin smiled and said, "If Commander Shen likes them, I'll bring some back for you later."

Shen Hao waved his hand and said, "No, a gentleman doesn't take what others cherish. Lord Hu, it would be best if you didn't make things difficult for me."

···Requesting 0 flowers···

Still unsure what Hu Ningmin was up to, Shen Hao decided to observe first.

Hu Ningmin said, "It's just a little tea leaf, there's no need to make such a fuss."

"I haven't met Brigade Commander Shen since he took office; this time I need to have a proper chat."

Shen Hao didn't want to waste time with him, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Did Governor Hu summon me here this time to give me some important instructions?"

Hu Ningmin did not expect that Shen Hao would not even dare to exchange pleasantries and would be so direct.

This way of doing things also suits Hu Ningmin's temperament, as he himself is straightforward in his dealings with others.

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to know what Brigade Commander Shen thinks of the Tongmenghui and the Nationalists?"

Does this guy want me to join the Alliance?

Thinking of this, Shen Hao said, "My position is relatively low, and I don't have access to these things, so I don't know much about them."

....... ....... ...

Hu Ningmin found this hard to believe. These days, newspapers are everywhere, and the Nationalists are giving speeches all over the place. How could they not know?

It's obvious they don't want to talk about it.

Hu Ningmin said, "That's right. Mr. Sun heard about your deeds among the Japanese pirates and thought highly of you."

"We believe you have great potential and would like to invite you to join the Tongmenghui and the Nationalist faction."
