Guo Xing'a's own words that didn't care about things made Wen Xiang in a fog, and Wen Xiang couldn't understand how Guo Xing'a, who was in the hands of the male soldiers, was overtaken by Pi Runmin. The current military and political dignitaries of Northern Manchu are all descendants of Guoxing'a, and these people actually sit idly by and ignore the power of Guoxing'a, and Pi Runmin's scholars have not a single soldier, but they can control Manchuria, which is established by the army, which is really strange and strange.

Wen Xiang suspected that Guo Xing'a was playing a scoundrel, and only flashed in his heart before passing. Because Wen Xiang walked around Changchun, he also found that many places were Pi Runmin's principles and policies, and the real ruler Guo Xing'a was very inconspicuous. In addition to the army in Northern Manchuria, the portraits of Guoxinga and the like are also common, but they are all symbols, and it is Pi Runmin who really gives orders.

Judging from what Wen Xiang has seen and heard, Guoxing's freedom is definitely no problem, and Guoxing's threats to the imperial court and commanding the army are also logically clear, and he must be sober in his mind. And Guo Xing'a doesn't seem to have been fooled, he is very clear about his situation, and he also knows very well that the administrative power is in the hands of Pi Runmin. Why Guo Xing'a, who was in his right mind, willingly handed over the authority to Pi Runmin, is indeed not something that the ministers of the Guannai court can understand. And what Wen Xiang didn't understand the most was why Guo Xing'a didn't resist, Pi Runmin's hands definitely didn't have soldiers, but Guo Xing'a had all the Manchurian soldiers, Guo Xing'a could take Pi Runmin's life with a word, but Guo Xing'a didn't have any thoughts in this regard, and he was very cooperative with giving all administrative rights to Pi Runmin.

And not to mention anything else, just by looking at the residence of Pi Runmin and Guo Xing'a, you know that Pi Runmin is very bad to Guo Xing'a. Guo Xing Ah is not a person who can swallow his anger, in order to be able to get out of the bad breath of being played by the queen mother of the two palaces, Guo Xing Ah Ke snatched away the little widows left by the first emperor. Pi Runmin bullied Guo Xing'a like this, Guo Xing'a can endure it, and there are definitely many important problems in it.

"General, the application for additional investment has been written, but the cost this time is too big, and the cabinet will definitely not approve it, and in the end, I have to take your special approval." Wen Xiang was thinking about how to provoke civil strife in Manchuria, and Tan Shaoguang had already reluctantly returned with the fold that Guo Xing'a had just given him.

"It's just a procedure, that is, I pay for it myself, Mr. Zeyuan's money has been invested in the navy, where is there any surplus money now. Have you asked about Hi-shou? Do I have enough money for my private room? "Guo Xinga has been prepared for a long time.

Wen Xiang patiently savored the meaning of Tan and Guo's words. Guo Xing'a has to apply to Pi Runmin with money, which Wen Xiang can understand, and the emperor has to discuss the country's money with the head of the household. This so-called special approval is roughly equivalent to the emperor's use of the money of the Internal Affairs Office, and he has to go through the process in front of Pi Runmin to spend his own private money, which is a bit excessive. Hubu Shangshu is powerful and at most looks at the treasury, and the internal affairs office is not in his hands, Pi Runmin is shouldering both sides.

"The general has already spent too much money on his private house this year! The money of the Yellow Sea Fleet is not enough, you just made up for it, how can you use your private money. The gap in Project Zero this time is too big, and if you fill it up again, your hands will be too tight. Tan Shaoguang still settled the accounts for Guo Xing'a, and didn't want Guo Xing'a's private money to bottom out.

"Things always have to be done! Let the forest and Jilin eat a few more meals of rice porridge and pickles, and the money will be saved, and the zero project is a major event, and it cannot be delayed! Guo Xing'a himself has almost no personal expenses, that is, Concubine Li and Jilin's family spend some money, both of which are also living normally, and they can't spend much money in a year.

"Zou Xiang is here, he should be fair, the general's days are getting tighter and tighter, and the days of skin can be very relaxed! The general's note passed, and the skin said that the government had no money, so he would let the general's special approval for everything, and every once in a while, he handed the note up and asked the general for money. In the past, even if it was over, the Republic of Lanfang had just sent a batch of gold over last month, more than 2,000 tons, and it would be inappropriate to say that there was no money at this time, and the life of the general was poor enough! Tan Shaoguang enjoyed the various allowances arranged for him by Guo Xing'a, and then looked at Guo Xing'a who was messing around in the barracks every day, and he began to feel unjust for Guo Xing'a.

In addition to the annual government allocation of a pension equivalent to three percent of the fiscal revenue, the income of the major industrial groups and colonies, the income of arms, and the income of the * are all credited to the name of the Goxinga individual. Looking at the accounts alone, Guo Xing'a is very rich, he is richer than the imperial court and the government of North Manchuria. But Guoxing's expenses are also too large, more than half of his income has to be subsidized to the North Manchurian government, and all secret projects are also supplied by Guoxinga's private property, which has almost exhausted Guoxinga's money. However, the general has to occasionally go to the university to encourage scientific and technological innovation, to build military welfare apartments for senior officers, to build magnificent Fengluan Terrace for civilian officials, etc., Guo Xing'a's income is increasing every year, but he can always spend it very smoothly, and his life is getting tighter and tighter. In the eyes of Tan Shaoguang and others, it is because Pi Runmin always tries his best to get money from Guoxing'a that Guoxing's life is so miserable.

"That money has basically been invested in the construction of railways and various infrastructure in Mongolia, even if there are still some unspent, there are not many places waiting for it, and I am afraid that the zero project will not be ranked!" Pi Runmin is the prime minister of Guoxing'a, and Zou Degui is Pi Runmin's first assistant, and Zou Degui personally divided the money, of course he knows that the government has not budgeted for projects such as Project Zero.

"It's useless for me to ask for money, it's a big deal to find Mr. Zeyuan to eat, this process follows the rules, I have the money, and the most important thing is to do things!" Project Zero is related to the fortunes of China, and I can't be careless! Tan Shaoguang had a tendency to lose his temper with Zou Degui, and Guo Xing'a hurriedly jumped out and diluted the mud.

Wen Xiang had many more questions, but no one answered them for him anymore, such as how terrifying Xing'a's private money was, such as what the No. 0 project related to China's national fortunes was doing. Wen Xiang formally accepted Pi Runmin's proposal, and after using the telegram from the British Embassy in Beijing to get in touch with the imperial court, Wen Xiang was granted the right to start subsequent formal negotiations with North Manchuria. The original intention of the imperial court was to limit the development of Northern Manchukuo and curb the momentum of Northern Manchuria's invasion of the imperial court's territory, of course, it would be better if Northern Manchukuo could become its own thugs. As a leading figure of the Westernization faction, Wen Xiang, in addition to the ideas of the imperial court, he also has his own plans.

Zou Degui took Wenxiang to wander around Changchun, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for Wenxiang, although Wenxiang has a lot of things he doesn't understand, but he also knows that the industrial achievements of North Manchurian are very remarkable. The Westernists have begun the Westernization movement, but there are too many foreigners involved, and it is inevitable that no one in the new and old Westernists will be able to trust the foreigners, which has greatly hindered the development of factories and so on. If the Manchurians, who were originally born from the same roots, could help the Qing Dynasty to engage in foreign affairs, they would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and Wen Xiang had always suspected that Guo Xing'a had mastered some methods of industrial speed.

The fact that Guo Xing'a took down the Mengdong Four Leagues was a little uncomfortable for the imperial court, but Guo Xing'a's coming forward to suppress Zeng Guofan also made the imperial court remember it vividly, so in the eyes of the imperial court, Guo Xing'a was still his own person, but he was just a special person of his own. It is precisely because Goxinga has recently fought on the same front with the imperial court that it is possible for the two sides to sit down and talk.

Wen Xiang thought about it for a long time, he was very worried that after proposing technical assistance, Pi Runmin would sit on the ground and raise the price, but Pi Runmin agreed very happily and helped Wen Xiang come up with a series of policies such as investment promotion. Wen Xiang only knew that this was a method that Guo Xing'a had used, but he didn't know that the reason why Pi Runmin put forward this idea was that he had already seen through the economic situation between Northern Manchu and the imperial court. At this time, the imperial court introduced the strong economic group of North Manchuria into Guannai, and the imperial court would be in an absolutely weak position, and North Manchuria would not need to make any special moves to turn Guannai into a dumping ground and raw material production area of North Manchuria. The light and heavy industrial clusters in North Manchurian are all in urgent need of dumping sites and raw material production areas, and the imperial court sent them to the door at this time, and Pi Runmin of course immediately agreed.

Northern Manchuria's willingness to support the imperial court in the development of industry was already more important to Wenxiang than anything else, and everything else was trivial. However, this kind of major event is still not over, and Wenxiang is here for this matter, so the two sides have to give the territory first. Mengdong Four Leagues Guoxing'a has already eaten, it is a railway and infrastructure, and there is no way to count how much money North Manchurian has invested in it, and now if you want Guoxing'a to spit out the floor again, there must be no door. The strength is not as good as others, Wen Xiang has nothing to say, even if the imperial court recovers the four alliances, it will not be able to stop the infiltration of Northern Manchuria. It's better to be generous, take out the bearing of the Son of Heaven, and directly give the Four Alliances to Guoxing'a in exchange for other advantages.

After some bargaining, the dispute between Northern Manchu and the imperial court finally came to a conclusion, and the two sides sat together again and became a family. After Guoxing'a swore allegiance to the Tongzhi Emperor, the imperial court demarcated the boundary with Northern Manchukuo with the border wall of the Great Wall and the Chahar Eight Banners, and as for the future development of Northern Manchukuo to the north, it was no longer restricted by the imperial court. In Fengtian in the south, the imperial court also gave Guoxinga from Xu, as long as Guoxinga recovered the lost land in Outer Manchuria from Lao Maozi, the imperial court assigned Fengtian to Guoxinga. The main reason for doing this is that Fengtian has been in the middle of the attack between the north and south of Northern Manchuria, and has fallen into the siege of Northern Manchurian on three sides, and has almost become an enclave of the imperial court. Now he can only use Fengtian as a bargaining chip to lure Guo Xing'a and Lao Maozi into an all-out fight, and strive to make both sides lose.

The imperial court suffered a loss this time, but the situation was stronger than the people, and it could only be admitted, and in the end it was considered to have achieved its goal, and North Manchuria would not go south or west. North Manchu is not bad, not only did they take advantage of it, but Pi Runmin finally thought of Goxinga militarily The previous time, the government of North Manchukuo led an army militarily for the first time, and their target was Wusu Yalitai, commonly known as Outer Mongolia.
