Chapter 216: Extraordinary Means

As for how to solve the trend of ticket runs, this is a difficult problem, and there are several masters in the financial world under Zhang Zuolin's command, such as Liu Shangqing, but they are at a loss for it. The others are either from Zhang Zuolin's bandit background, and they don't know a few big characters; Either learn to be rich and have five cars, but have a low eye, and stay away from these things in finance, and despise those who are high. Seeing that there are all together, those who can take charge of things.

Liu Shangqing thought that in the past, money merchants begged for redemption and used many excuses to transfer remittances, but now if they use the method of issuing bills of exchange to remit the money to the money reserve merchants for purchase and use, they will not be able to redeem them in Mukden. The old men were elegant, and said in unison: "Not bad! ”

Although most people don't understand what it means, it's always good to think of CBN masters.

However, Zhang Hanqing poured cold water on everyone: "Although this method is good, it is only for specific people to use, and it cannot be widely circulated, and its use is very narrow, and it has little effect on solving the run on the trend." Wang Shuhan, the director of finance, also shook his head and said: "It's not urgent. ”

The young marshal questioned the professionalism of General Liu's office, and some people in the military and political leadership of Fengtian were quite dissatisfied: "Even if your young marshal cultivates both civil and military, he can pull up a good team in the military circles, but he still relies on his father's strength?" What kind of land reform, I don't know what the result is, now I have become a political upstart, and all the yamen in Fengtian are polite to you in the 'Fengtian Land Reform Committee', and you have the face of the overseer and governor, so forget it. Now this is a major event that even the 'iron abacus' Liu Shangqing can't carry, what do you know as a child? Those businessmen won't give you face! ”

However, Liu Shangqing lowered his head and thought about it, but said with a smile: "The young marshal is right, this is really not a cure. He suddenly raised his head and faced Zhang Hanqing: "I wonder if the young marshal has a way to solve this matter?" "This young marshal has repeatedly performed surprisingly, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult to say that it is difficult to ensure that the young marshal has no solution. Others may have a secret complaint about the young marshal's deeds, but he often has a long talk with the young marshal all night, and deeply admires the young marshal's ability.

Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "It's not difficult to say, I have two ways to solve this matter in one fell swoop!" ”

Everyone was shocked. People can't think of a single way, and there are two young marshals as soon as they make a move. There's no way, don't pretend to be struck by lightning. To have an extraordinary influence in Mukden, when it is extraordinary, it is necessary to use extraordinary means.

Although Zhang Hanqing is frighteningly young, he has always done what he says, and occasionally surprising words were quickly confirmed to be true, which makes his reputation excellent. Whether he is satisfied with him or not, he can still face up to his words, especially since the assassination, Lao Zhang has obviously cultivated Xiao Zhang as an heir, and it is reasonable for Xiao Zhang's influence to increase without looking at the face of the monk.

The influence of the young marshal in the military circles is very great, and he almost came from behind, becoming a figure second only to Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen, and as far as the senior Yang Yuting is concerned, he must also take a step back. It's just that Xiao Zhang's status in the political circles is not obvious, and if the run crisis can be properly resolved, his sense of presence in the political circles will definitely be brushed, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing spares no effort to solve it.

Of course, paving the way for dad is another reason.

It's like getting lost and encountering a compass and a pillow mat when you fall asleep. Liu Shangqing has been immersed in the financial industry for many years, and it is the first time he has encountered this kind of problem without a solution, and his obsessive heart has been itching. No matter who it is, as long as he can solve his doubts, it is a great joy in life. This young marshal really has extraordinary ability, not only did he come up with a way, but he also had two, which inevitably made people feel a mixed surprise.

Zhang Hanqing did not hide it, he said: "Xueliang after thinking hard, suddenly thought of the previous Shanxi bill of exchange, sometimes there are bearers with a credit relationship, turnover with each other, this is not similar to paper money? Can we issue such a bill of exchange? As long as you don't cash in on the spot, won't this run gradually subside? Anyway, we want time. ”

Mo Dehui retorted: "Remittance to other cities is a general discussion of the ocean, which is not suitable for the habit of using Xiaoyang in Mukden. "As far as matters are concerned, Zhang Hanqing is not used to speaking by himself. Whether it is Mo Dehui, who is close to him, or other people in Fengtian, they all know that the young marshal has the habit of saying something at the meeting, and saying nothing after the meeting. Even if the argument is red-faced, it will not affect his perception of the other party, but may be one step closer. Zhang Zuolin was also influenced by him, and in Zhang Hanqing's private chat, he wanted to be a good boss who "admonished".

Wang Ruizhi, a judge of the High Court of Justice, also proposed: "The word word ticket is not as good as the word coupon." As for the question of Da and Xiaoyang, Wang did not express any opinion, because in terms of life experience, he did not have good ideas in the financial industry.

Liu Zhongsan, the manager of the Zuoxin Printing Bureau under the Guanyin of the three eastern provinces, his eyes lit up, and he interjected from the side and said: "One yuan of the ocean is worth seven jiao and two cents, if the small ocean is twelve jiao, can it be worth it?" ”

Zhang Hanqing clapped his hands and said, "The words of the third brother Zhong are exactly what I want. ”

Liu Shangqing suddenly realized. He added: "We can use Xiaoyang as the basis and stipulate that the twelve jiao should be used as one ocean dollar, which is called 'one or two ocean exchange bonds'." The specific method is to store cash in Shanghai, think it is the capital exchange, and issue new coupons, each yuan is equivalent to seven cents of cash silver, and let the merchants buy goods in Shanghai, and transfer the cash on the spot, but they are not allowed to redeem it in Mukden. The small foreign bills of the official silver number are not allowed to be used in the Fengtian market, so this kind of exchange coupons will replace the small foreign bills and are commonly used in the three northeastern provinces. As for the small foreign bills issued by the Fengtian Industrial Bank and others, they were renamed bonds, and the interest was paid twice a year, and they were still circulated in the market, and they were neither exchanged nor cashed. Han Qing, but what does this mean? ”

Zhang Hanqing echoed and said: "Xueliang hasn't thought of so much, the little nephew is just imaginative, and he doesn't want to be blind and meet a dead mouse." This is all Liu Shibo's idea, does it work, Shibo has eaten more salt than Xueliang has eaten, so he naturally has a big idea. He laughed and said, "If it doesn't work, don't blame Shibo for learning a lot, anyway, you took the idea, and I can't blame it." ”

The small foreign bills exchanged by the landlords for cutting their meat suddenly became government bonds, which in essence was equivalent to the government taking out their principal to use, and all they could get was "interest" twice a year. Since the bonds cannot be cashed, no matter how they change, the government will not need to consider this principal for a while, and it will naturally be much easier. These landlords worked hard to exploit the loopholes of the government, and the bonds exchanged for jumping off the property price were suddenly no different from "renting" land to the government, and they also lost a lot of transaction fees, which virtually saved the people a sum of money.

Seeing him like this, Liu Shangqing also laughed and said: "What the young marshal said, it will definitely work." The young marshal is not arrogant and has always been approachable, which is one of the important reasons why he and Zhang Hanqing can become year-old friends.

At the end of 1916, the plan of the "One and Two Oceanic Exchange Bills" was approved, and it played a great role in calming down the trend of running on bills and alleviating the financial crisis. Since Zhang Zuolin took charge of Fengtian, he has taken many measures to maintain the stability of the issuance of votes and the payment of votes, and prices have basically remained stable. Among them, Liu Shangqing has spent hard work and efforts, so he has won Zhang Zuolin's trust, and at the same time, it has also paved the way for him to rise to prominence.

After solving the major problem, Liu Shangqing was in a much better mood, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and make a joke about Zhang Hanqing: "The young marshal just said that the two-pronged approach, one tube has already worked, I don't know where the other tube is going to be thrown?" ”

Zhang Hanqing restrained his smile and said lightly: "Today may be able to solve the run on the trend, but if someone is still scheming, once there is an opportunity, they will make waves again, and this trend must be solved at the root." The government encourages normal commercial and financial behavior, but for those black sheep who are opportunistic and even worse, interfere with the economy of Mukden with the help of foreign forces, we should deal with them by extraordinary means, cut through the chaos quickly, and directly deter followers at the source! ”

The people he said were Liu Mingqi, deputy manager of the Industrial Bank, and Huang Xianting, deacon of the "Ruihuanchang" gold store, who colluded with the Japanese to carry out a run on the money in order to bring down Fengtian's financial resources so that the Japanese could take advantage of the situation.

Liu Mingqi, deputy manager of Industrial Bank, started as a comprador and can speak fluent Japanese. He is quite economically minded, and in the many runs in Fengtian, he took the opportunity to lower the exchange rate of small foreign bills for the ocean, and made a huge difference in price. Anyway, he is in the bank and has unique conditions.

The Japanese also found him, gave him a lot of benefits, and asked him to use the silver dollars stored by the Japanese to continue to block Fengtian: in a series of battles, not only did he fail to help Zhang Zuolin, but also made him more and more energetic. According to this process, it is only a matter of time before Zhang Zuolin becomes the king of the Northeast. The key is that both Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhang don't seem to be very interested in the Japanese, which is one of the reasons why Japan wants to work hard to bring down Zhang's power. Without money, all Zhang Zuolin's dreams would not come true.

The hatred for the Japanese is hidden in the hearts of many high-ranking military and political leaders in Fengtian, especially Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing, who have been repeatedly constrained by the Japanese but have not been able to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. Now that there is this good opportunity, Zhang Hanqing certainly put it forward.

Liu Shangqing strongly agreed, and he understood the meaning of the young marshal's "extraordinary means." He was convinced that as long as these pioneers were shot, at least there would be no more grandiose leaders in Fengtianming's face, and the impact on those who followed the trend would be huge. If the "one or two ocean exchange bonds" are implemented, the financial crisis in Mukden will definitely be eliminated, and this is probably the significance of the "two-pronged approach" that the young marshal thinks, right?

He had indescribable joy in his heart and asked Wang Ruizhi: "How?" "After all, Wang Ruizhi is a famous judge, and it is naturally a wonderful thing to suppress illegal money merchants if it can be solved from the legal theory.

Wang Ruizhi said: "This matter should be tried by the court. ”

After hearing this, Liu Shangqing said disapprovingly: "The judge abides by the law, the procedure is cumbersome, and he is afraid of leniency, even if he is sentenced to death, it is better to set an example for the city and the court, and it is better to take extraordinary measures to suppress the trend of running on the bank." ”

Zhang Zuolin was very satisfied. The most important thing to solve the run problem is to solve it, and as for shooting a few Japanese lackeys, it couldn't be better. The ghost of the Japanese is still lingering, first they used troops, and now they are pinching his money bag, which is unbearable or unbearable. He slapped the table: "These people will be arrested immediately, and they will be executed tomorrow in the Great West to set an example!" ”
