Chapter 46 Currency Reform (4)
"If China were to recognize Manchukuo, then Manchukuo would also have to inherit part of China's pre-independence debts; Second, Japan must guarantee the integrity of China's territory except for Northeast China. The third is the joint loan of Britain and Japan to China, and the fourth is to assist us in currency reform! β
After listening to Xiao Linghu's narration, Feng Xuan nodded and said, "It seems that Vice Chief Wu is not a pure traitor, and he knows how to fight for some benefits for us. x is the fastest to update"
"Do you really think he's a good guy?" Xiao Linghu was very dissatisfied, and gave him an ultimatum: "Big brother, are you doing me this favor or not?" β
Feng Xuan said with a smile: "Our Huzi personally went out to do it, won't I help?" Rest assured, you can go back to class with peace of mind, and in a week, you will be able to read the news you want in the newspaper! β
"Really?" Xiao Linghu asked with some disbelief, he felt that this was the first time he had seen Brother Feng agree to him so happily. But think about it, in fact, as long as he made a request, Feng Xuan really didn't refute his face.
"Really!" Feng Xuan is serious.
Xiao Linghu's face finally showed a smile, and after talking to the two of them for a while, he left in a hurry.
"Old Feng, do you really want to help Ling Hu get rid of Wu Yuqing?" Su Xianmin still had some doubts.
"Yes!" Feng Xuan didn't hide it.
"Why is that?" Su Xianmin asked puzzledly: "Are you really doing something for Xiao Linghu's momentary righteousness?" β
Feng Xuan smiled and said, "Of course it's not just for him!" β
"And what are you doing it for?"
"For our nation!" Feng Xuan said solemnly: "We must have a clear understanding, you were good just now, although the British are not a good thing, but the Japanese are our great enemy!" Their hearts have never died. If there are still people in China who have naΓ―ve fantasies about the Japanese, then they should tell him to die quickly. Regardless of whether Wu Yuqing colluded with the Japanese or not, since he chose to believe the Japanese, it was his fault. Maybe with his head, he can also warn those who dare to flatter the Japanese that if they do it again, then Wu Yuqing will be their fate! β
Su Xianmin was silent for a moment, and finally followed: "Okay!" There is indeed some truth in your words, assassinating Wu Yuqing is much easier than killing the two killers of the Black Dragon Society in the first place! Shall I provide you with the news, or will I let Sha Wenhua do it? β
Feng Xuan nodded: "If you don't let him practice his hands, it is estimated that he will be rusty!" β
Su Xianmin also smiled and stretched: "Yes, this year, there is nothing important to do, and I am also a lot of rusty!" β
"Don't worry! We have already been contacted, and the central government has arrived in northern Shaanxi......"
"Really?" Su Xianmin couldn't believe his ears.
Sure enough, five days later, the news of the assassination of Vice Minister of Finance was published in the newspapers, and as soon as this news came out, people quickly put the assassination of Yan Shiji, governor of the Central Bank, behind them a few days ago. Only a few well-intentioned people linked these two assassinations, thus coming to the conclusion that the pro-British faction eventually defeated the pro-Japanese faction.
Indeed, more than half a month later, on November 3, Finance Minister Kong Xiangxi suddenly announced China's currency reform.
The main contents of this currency reform are as follows: First, the three banks of the central government, China, and the Bank of Communications will issue banknotes in a centralized manner and make them legal tender. Second, the use of all kinds of silver coins in circulation was prohibited, silver was no longer in circulation, and all cash silver must be exchanged for legal tender. Third, the above three banks can buy and sell foreign exchange without restrictions.
Since then, China has leapt from a silver standard country to a managing currency country.
Of course, in the early years of the enactment of the currency reform, there were some problems throughout the country, especially the obstruction of the Japanese, who tried to bankrupt the currency reform by smuggling silver and blocking the southern movement of silver from the north, but in the end it was a failure.
Who would have imagined that it was precisely because of this currency reform that it indirectly led to the formation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party's anti-Japanese united front after 1937. In other words, if there was no currency reform in 1935, there would have been no War of Resistance in 1937!
Xiao Linghu was very happy to return to the Xiao Mansion with the newspaper, read the news of Wu Yuqing's assassination to his uncle, and said triumphantly: "I will avenge you that time, how about it?" Do it! β
Yan Shiji and Xiao Huang couldn't help but look at each other.
Xiao Huang's face became grim: "Ling Hu, did you really do this?" β
The smug look he had just now was suddenly lost without a trace at this moment, and he suddenly realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake, but at this time, he could only honestly turn his head.
"Smack!" With a sound, Xiao Huang slapped Xiao Linghu fiercely, so that Xiao Linghu only felt that there was a golden light in his front eyes, and he fell to the ground sideways, only to feel that there was a salty stream of water flowing out of the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it casually, and it was all blood.
"Brother-in-law! What are you doing here? Yan Shiji's left arm was wrapped in gauze and hurriedly blocked in front of the father and son.
Xiao Huang watched his son's mouth bleed, Xiao Huang also felt a little heartbroken, but he felt that Xiao Linghu's actions had exceeded the limit of what he could bear, and the anger on his face eased, but he still pointed at him and taught him a lesson: "Ling Hu, my slap is just to let you remember that this world is not something you can do whatever you want!" There are family rules, and the country has national laws! As a soldier of the country, how can you treat the law of the king and human life as child's play? Even if Wu Yuqing deserves death, there are laws and courts in charge, and you don't need to do the right thing for heaven! β
Xiao Linghu covered his face and didn't say a word, when he was in the army, when he was not Xiao Huang's son, he was very afraid of this division commander, and now that he is a son, in addition to fear, there is also admiration. He felt that he was beaten, and he really deserved it, and he didn't complain at all.
"Brother-in-law! Ay! Don't blame Ling Hu, he's all for me! β
Yan Shiji sighed, pulled Xiao Linghu up from the ground, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the blood on Xiao Linghu's face, and looked at this handsome face, the left side was already swollen, and he felt extremely heartbroken.
"Do you know what's wrong with you?" Xiao Huang also saw Xiao Linghu's swollen face, his voice had softened, he lost the anger just now, and began to regret it.
"Yes!" Xiao Linghu is as honest as a child.
This made Yan Shiji feel a little surprised, in his impression, Xiao Linghu was an unruly wild horse, when Xiao Huang did not return to Nanjing, this son caused trouble everywhere, but he was able to settle it by himself, as if he was between him and Leng Jinghan. But it turned out that Xiao Linghu also had someone to fear, and it was Xiao Huang. Xiao Huang's sentence has already fulfilled a hundred words of his bitter heart.
However, Xiao Huang has always been very harmonious with this son, and he has never blushed, and Xiao Linghu's respect for Xiao Huang is also what all sons should have.
