Chapter 212 - The Policy of Benefiting the People
c_t; Xu Huaijin had no choice but to reluctantly agree. ( )
In terms of military affairs, Zhang Yi can still rest assured, at least Xu Huaijin can be said to be a rare handsome figure in the Qing Dynasty in recent years, coupled with the help of new and old colleagues such as Zhang Yihu and Li Gang, and with the backing of 10,000 new troops, he is not afraid of accidents.
However, in terms of social economy, Zhang Yi is a little relieved, not that Tang Shaoyi and others can't do it, but he can't do it himself, at least he is not omnipotent as a special forces, and he can only rely on his grasp of history to do his best to promote the construction of the three eastern provinces.
In the next few days, Zhang Yi continued to hold meetings with Tang Shaoyi and others to discuss development, and their respective yamen were established, and Zhang Yi allocated a large number of silver taels to support these yamen to go all out.
It's just that there are less than 6 million people in Mukden Province now, and a large number of ordinary people dare not live in the Sino-Japanese war, for fear that the Japanese will come and take many families south to flee the three eastern provinces. Now look at Mukden, I am afraid that the population is less than five million.
Zhang Yi entrusted Tang Shaoyi to formulate the "Fengtian Provincial Reclamation Regulations", issued them to the Fengtian Prefecture Capital, and at the same time ordered people to ride fast horses, and Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other provinces posted notices to attract displaced people to go to Fengtian to reclaim the famine.
Zhang Yi directly promised that all those who come to Fengtian to reclaim the wasteland will be owned by the developer, and the government shall not privately occupy or rob it; No tax was levied on them for two years, and each household could receive a settling-in allowance of one tael of silver from the local yamen for two years, and at the same time five buckets of grain.
Tang Shaoyi looked at the plan written by Zhang Yi, and was so anxious that she almost vomited blood, this is real money and taxes, not only is it not taxed, but it is also necessary to subsidize one or two pieces of silver and five buckets of rice to each family. If one million people really moved in, together with the resettlement costs, etc., the Fengtian General's Mansion would have to spend at least nearly two million taels of silver!
Tang Shaoyi was furious with the paper at that time: "Jianzhi! That's it. Absolutely not, if you don't wait for Fengtian to develop, our general's mansion will go bankrupt first! Where did we get so much silver to support such a big thing? Coupled with the expenditure on military spending, the expenditure on the construction of railways and schools, and the expenditure on the establishment of factories and mines in the future, we are afraid that it will not take more than a year, and we will be poor as pants, do you think the millions of taels of silver you brought back can withstand such a waste? ”
Zhang Yi smiled: "Brother Shaochuan." Don't worry, you just have to follow my plan. There's no room for error! ”
Tang Shaoyi said angrily: "If you don't make it clear to me, I will never post such a notice." If we really do what is written on this, we will not be able to sustain it for long before we lose money. If it is false, then we will lose our trust in the world, and then no one will come to us in the future! ”
Zhang Yi nodded approvingly, only a talent who dares to insist on his own ideas is the real elite. Tang Shaoyi can face himself so frankly and never give in, which shows that he still insists. is not Tang Shaoyi, who was corrupted by the atmosphere in the early years of the Republic of China.
Zhang Yi said: "Shaochuan, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the financial aspect at all. First, we brought back millions of taels of silver from Korea, and we would never have spent it so quickly, which was a huge amount of money; Second, one more month at most. The Jin merchants of Shanxi will rush to Fengtian under the leadership of Qiao Zhiyong, and then they will start the construction of Fengtian Bank, and with the support of the bank, we will be able to use more sufficient financial resources to support our actions! Third, the most important point. It was the German legation that had fully agreed to give us a loan of 50 million pounds from the Mukden General's Office in the next six months to support our full development. This is hundreds of millions of taels of silver, with these hundreds of millions of taels of silver, what can't we do? ”
"This!!"
Tang Shaoyi looked at Zhang Yi with a shocked face, he really didn't expect that the general in front of him had already completed such a big deal quietly, not to mention the 50 million pounds loan promised by the German legation. It is not easy to just invite a large number of Jin merchants to Fengtian, the Jin merchants are now rich and rival the country, that Fusheng Gong heard that today's assets are no less than tens of millions of taels of silver, and the absolute richest man in the Qing Dynasty reads;!
Tang Shaoyi asked in shock: "Jianzhi, these have all been determined, and the German legation has fully agreed to borrow money?" ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Yes, the Jin merchants led by Qiao Zhiyong are estimated to have set off now and are on their way to Fengtian. As for the German Legation, it has already agreed to sign the final text of the contract. ”
Tang Shaoyi frowned slightly, and said: "Jianzhi, that's tens of millions of pounds, hundreds of millions of taels of silver, let's still be able to afford it in the future, this is a huge amount of money that I don't usually dare to think of!" The annual tax of the Qing Dynasty is only 80 million taels! When the time comes, what will we take? ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Therefore, we have to issue a policy of benefiting the people, and we are allowed to attract the displaced people of the Central Plains with heavy profits, only with people can we have financial income, only with people, we can have enough manpower to open mines and set up factories, as long as our factories, mines and industries are fully developed, then tens of millions of pounds will not be a problem at all, not to mention that this will be a long-term loan contract, and it is an interest-free loan, we are even more afraid." ”
Tang Shaoyi is really happy, with such a huge sum of money, then he is better than the Hubu Shangshu in the capital, has the Hubu Shangshu seen so much money, this is really to give himself a Hubu Shangshu and he doesn't go, he is determined by Zhang Jianzhi!
Zhang Yi said: "Shaochuan, I am not proficient in economic affairs, so how to make Fengtian's development more stable and faster is completely handed over to you people, you have to use every penny for me, I have great expectations for you!" ”
Tang Shaoyi nodded excitedly and said: "Jianzhi, you put your heart completely in your stomach, as long as you have sufficient funds, Lao Tzu is not afraid of anything, I will definitely build a prosperous Fengtian for you!" ”
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Shaochuan, now Fengtian is in ruins, there is an extreme lack of talents, the bureaucratic system of the original Fengtian state capital is seriously corrupt, I can only hope for you, I hope that you will build Fengtian at the same time, the bureaucratic system of Fengtian will also be focused on governance, without an enlightened and honest administrative system, no one will be willing to invest in us, I allow you to use other forces to picket corrupt officials and corrupt officials, re-govern the province, and make Fengtian look new in the shortest possible time." ”
Tang Shaoyi nodded and replied: "Jianzhi, I understand what you mean, when I was studying in the United States, I saw the politics of the United States with my own eyes, and it was indeed too much ahead of the Qing Dynasty.
