"Old thief, when there is a dispute among the heroes today, there is Zhang Zuolin in the north, Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu in the south, the world is divided into three, saying that Cao Cao should also be Zhang Zuolin, how can you get your turn in the National Revolutionary Army, not to mention that your strength is only 100,000, for them it is just a bandit army, no different from the Northern Red Thief National Army!" The one-meter-five villain was erected, and he was still shouting, but he didn't say much, he was already put in front of Shi Bian, and with a "snap", Shi Bian slapped him directly in the face, shaking off the dwarf villain.

Now the National Revolutionary Army has a total of 7 armies, the first army belongs to the Whampoa School Army, headed by Chang Gong; The 2nd Army belonged to the Tan Pai Xiang Army, headed by Tan Yanhong; The 3rd Army belonged to the Dian Army, headed by Zhu Peide; The 4th Army belonged to the Guangdong Army, headed by Li Jishen; The 5th Army belonged to the Fu Army, headed by Li Fulin; The 6th Army belonged to the Cheng Pai Hunan Army, headed by Cheng Qian; The 7th Army belonged to the Gui Army, with the strongest combat power, headed by Li Zongren; In addition to these 7 armies, there was also the 1st army, which was Tang Shengzhi's troops, and also defected and joined the ranks of the Northern Expedition. Although there are more than 100,000 people in total, they take advantage of the discord of the warlords and go their own way, which is inevitably unbreakable.

Yan Buwen looked at the past, this dwarf villain was also quite bold, and dared to come here to make trouble, although this meeting of business people, everyone knew what they were going to do. But after his clamour, everyone may take a wait-and-see attitude, if the president can't name it, I'm afraid that this business gathering will not be necessary.

Suddenly, Shi Bian smiled and said: "I know you, aren't you the staff officer of Jiang Baili, a think tank under Sun Chuanfang, who calls himself Xiao Li Shiqi (Yi fourth sound, Ji first tone) or Xiao Feng Xiao, what's wrong?" Is it for Sun Dashuai today? Or is it to quell the war and think about the people of the world? Or is it to show his talent and show the courage of going to the meeting alone? ”

The dwarf villain said coldly: "Since you know me, then let me go quickly, this time I came to the business community gathering to express my opinion, what's wrong?" What's more, Sun Dashuai has more than 200,000 elite soldiers in his hands, how can you win, don't hit the stone with an egg. ”

"Haha, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and the like, and compare themselves to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, do you think that you are really Sun Quan when you hold Jiangdong? Besides, I never saw your name on the invitation list, and if you came uninvited, then don't blame me for being rude. Shi Bian smiled, and gave an order, asking his subordinates to escort this person down.

This person was extremely troublesome, but it did not affect the mood of the businessmen present too much, and the only impact may be that he decided to donate 100,000 yuan at the beginning, and now he can donate 80,000 yuan. When I came to Guangzhou this time, I heard that the army's monthly expenses would be several million yuan, and that in July, the National Revolutionary Army successively captured Zhuzhou, Changsha, and other places, and the military expenditure for that month had already reached 12 million, and in August it was also spent 10 million, and it is estimated that it will be less in September, but it will definitely be 8 million. Now there are a total of 132 businessmen present, and one person is only more than 13 million yuan, which is only enough for the Northern Expeditionary Army for more than a month. The army is like a bottomless pit, and no amount of money can fill it. And businessmen are businessmen after all, even if the Northern Expeditionary Army wins, they will not be able to enter the core leadership, they are just equivalent to sheep that have been woolen, so most people's feeling is just to invest roughly, and then if they can win, they can provide themselves with convenience.

If you want to enter the leadership, unless you have a relationship with the upper leadership, no matter how much money you spend, you will only be treated as an old fat sheep and get a flashy compliment.

Everyone is still very satisfied with Shi Bian's answer, at least it is clear. After that, the party continued, and in order to win people's hearts, Shi Bian talked around with a wine glass.

Boss Duo smiled: "It costs money to fight, and there is a lot of money, which really fulfills the old saying, officials and businessmen collude." ”

Lin Yuan said: "A small capitalist like us can't be compared with a tycoon like Boss Duo at all, so it's better for Boss Duo to make a big head this time, let's just go along with it." ”

Boss Duo said: "You are embarrassed, how profitable is jewelry, we are engaged in the literary circle, calligraphy and painting circles, how can we have so much money, I think you are the most powerful." ”

"Haha, Boss Duo's words leave me speechless." Lin Yuan didn't say much, and pulled the skin with Boss Duo, and then saw that Huo Ting was communicating with a few foreigners over there, and the four young masters were shrouded in the side, quite like the stars holding the moon, so he commented with Cafford , Liu Xiyong , and Yan Buwen. Huo Ting is a veritable courtesan, eaten at home and abroad. During this period, many people invited Boss Duo to dance a dance, but Boss Duo directly refused. I was fighting with Huo Ting just now, and I just danced a song, dancing is so physically demanding, and it is easy to sweat, and I get my makeup spent, what should I do?

At this time, Shi Bian also went around in a circle, and finally went around to Boss Duo, and Shi Bian smiled: "I saw Boss Duo dancing just now, it was really amazing, why didn't you dance?" ”

"Jump if you want, don't jump if you don't want to." Boss Duo smiled. Almost everyone knows Shibian, and before these people are invited, Shibian has seen reports about these businessmen, and there are photos, so with his ability to remember them, it is impossible for Shibian to recognize the wrong person. I said hello to Boss Yan and others next to me, and began to talk about some trivial matters, and then mentioned business development, or many bigwigs in Shanghai, especially Shiliyangchang, which is prosperous and unstoppable, and is worthy of being known as the first Shanghai in the Far East.

At this time, someone came over and whispered a few words in Shibian's ear, and said with a smile: "Today, Mr. Song learned that there is a business gathering here, so he also came here, and it will be there later, I will go out to greet it first, and the bosses please wait." ”

"Mr. Song? Which Mr. Song? Boss Duo said.

Lin Yuan thought about it, could he let the president of the Chamber of Commerce personally greet him? So he said: "Isn't it, God of Wealth, Song Ziwen?" ”

As soon as Lin Yuan's words came out, the people around him understood that inviting so many business people this time is probably the meaning of the Ministry of Finance, and it is normal for Song Ziwen to come. At present, Song Ziwen has been appointed as the Minister of Finance of the Guangzhou National Government, the Director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank, and also serves as the Director of the Guangdong Department of Commerce and the Salt Audit Manager of the Liangguang Salt Administration.

Liu Xiyong said: "When I was in the United States before, I heard that Song Shao was very popular, and now he has been entrusted with important tasks when he returns to China, which is really envious." ”

Yan Buwen smiled, this trip to Guangzhou was really worthwhile, Song Ziwen is also a powerful figure in the Song family, but the corruption and destruction of the national government after that also had something to do with him.

In order to ensure that sufficient funds were raised for the early Northern Expedition, Finance Minister Soong Ziwen tried to increase government revenue in various ways. In the words of the Soviet adviser Schipanov: "The fundamental obstacle of the Northern Expeditionary Army is that it is due to the lack of funds. "But everyone understands this truth, the problem is that whether you understand this truth or not, you have to go on the Northern Expedition and all need money. Subsequently, Song Ziwen established the General Office of Salt Affairs, raised the stamp duty on cigarettes, introduced a special tax on kerosene and gasoline, and strengthened the collection of opium tobacco tax and gambling tax, so that the fiscal revenue of Guangdong Province further surged from 19.438 million yuan in the second half of 1925 to 51.071 million yuan in the first half of 1926, thus laying an economic foundation for the Northern Expeditionary Army to advance northward.
