"Although Sichuan is basically calm, it does not mean that it is peaceful."

Entering Chengdu, Wang Hengyue was not in a hurry to rest, but immediately summoned his subordinates, including Qin Guangcheng, general manager of Chengdu Commercial Bank, to the former "General Chengwu" mansion, now the Sichuan Governor's Mansion.

Looking at his subordinates, Wang Hengyue thought carefully and said:

"Sichuan has canceled the reading force, and in the future, don't call the military and political axe long live. Also, although the Yunnan army was defeated, Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, is still eyeing our Sichuan, and the same is true for Guizhou, so we must prepare early! ”

Jiang Baili said: "Before Heng Shuai, it has always been better to move first than later, and it is better to move last than to move last, but this time is different, we have to find an opportunity to move first!" ”

"Yes, the first strike is the strongest!" Jiang Baili's words completely spoke to Wang Hengyue's heart: "This time, I will [***] fight Beiyang, capture Chen Eun, protect the country and seek Yuan, and rebuild the republic." Megatron Sichuan, megatron the whole country. Ladies and gentlemen, rebuild the republic! Now Li Yuanhong is the president, but he, the president, has no soldiers and no power, who will listen to him? He was afraid that his orders would not leave his large presidential palace and would have to be monitored. Yang Sen, you, the division commander, have a lot more taste than President Leba! ”

Yang Sen and his subordinates laughed, and Wang Hengyue smiled and quieted everyone down:

"Who is this Qirui? Old Beiyang, with heavy troops in hand, where will Li Yuanhong be put in his eyes? Sooner or later, you have to argue. In this dispute, as long as Li Yuanhong wants to get rid of Duan Qirui, hehe, these provinces will inevitably have to read again! ”

"Reading power again?" Everyone was stunned.

"This reading power tastes sweet, why not use it? Reading power can achieve its own goals, and it doesn't hurt to use it ten times or eight times, anyway, it's a threat, if you meet my requirements, I'll cancel reading power. Wang Hengyue said sarcastically:

"So politics is the most complicated and simple thing, the most serious and the most fun game, and it's up to you to play the game well. What should I do if the provinces have read hard? Do you want a republic? People with ulterior motives, take this opportunity to do something unseemly, and the world is about to change. So, someone has to stand up and raise their arms, this is called the republic of three creations! ”

Three republics? Everyone looked at each other.

It's busy enough to recreate the republic, the whole country is in chaos, and then what kind of "three republics", then what's the repayment?

Wang Hengyue didn't care what his subordinates thought:

"Don't be surprised, I said that politics is just a game, a republic, we got Sichuan, if these three republics come, we have to be the first to rise up and support the republic"

"Southwest!" Yang Sen blurted out: "The Metropolitan Governor is now the king of Sichuan, so what if he is the king of the southwest again!" ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Hengyue made a blank face: "What is the king of the southwest, the world is peaceful now, and he should live in harmony and develop the place." King of the Southwest, do you want to provoke a war? ”

"Yes, the subordinate is wrong." Yang Sen admitted his mistake, but his face was full of smiles.

A re-creation of the republic, Heng Shuai won Sichuan, if you really come to the three republics, with Heng Shuai's temper, it is specified that you must find an excuse to take the land of Yunnan and Guizhou!

Once the three provinces of Yunnan fall into the hands of Heng Shuai, they can protect themselves by retreating, and they can attack Shaanxi and Lianghu when they advance

Yang Sen didn't dare to think about it, could it be that Heng Shuai not only wanted to be the king of the southwest, but also the whole country

"Yang Sen's words, everyone should not talk nonsense in the future, if it spreads, it will inevitably provoke a war. I am peace-loving and the last thing I want to see a war happen. Wang Hengyue looked serious: "However, if you don't want to take the initiative to provoke a war, you can't do it!" This time to protect the country and fight against Yuan, our army fought on the front line, but the Guizhou army tried to sneak attack Sichuan, fortunately was defeated by Xu Mu, Yunnan Governor Tang Jiyao also wanted to intervene by force, fortunately, Dongliu was well guarded, so that he did not dare to act rashly, people did not hurt the tiger, the tiger hurt people's hearts, because I had to do it! ”

As he spoke, his face was straight:

"Order, I will start to expand from now on, eight regular infantry divisions, two special divisions, one armored division, two mixed divisions, two mixed brigades, one Sichuan River defense army, and two artillery divisions."

A group of subordinates listened to it again and again, Heng Shuai is going to make a big deal.

There must be big moves under big strokes!

"Military spending must be resolved, and finances must be guaranteed!" Wang Hengyue's face was solemn: "Don't increase the burden of the people, otherwise if you don't have to fight us, the people will drive us away!" Chen Qifeng, you are the director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Finance, in charge of Sichuan's finance. Remember, don't add to the burden on the people, but you have to promise me the money I want! ”

Chen Qifeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The Director of the Department of Finance? This sounds strange and nice, but Heng Shuai's order made his ass sit on the brazier

Where will Wang Hengyue go to manage what his subordinates are thinking: "We must abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, prohibit borrowing from the people to raise funds, and clearly stipulate the standard of paying taxes on grain, which will be collected by the county taxation organs." As for the military expenses of the garrisons, the Quartermaster Division of the Governor's Office will issue monthly vouchers for the payment of funds in installments within the budget of each army, and the Department of Finance will issue monthly receipts for the administrative expenses required by the prefectural governors, and the payment will be collected from the local tax authorities. It is necessary to establish a financial system of unified revenue and expenditure, in which the common people are only responsible for paying the regular grain tax, and other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted. ”

"Yes!" Chen Qifeng stiffly responded.

Wang Hengyue nodded with satisfaction:

"There's also the issue of private armies and banditry. In terms of local security, the army is naturally responsible, so what do you want so many private armed forces to do? Is it to fight bandits or to prepare for a rebellion? All private armed forces will be abolished, and violators will be punished for destroying the place with the intention of rebellion! Bandit problem"

Wang Hengyue paused:

"There are frequent wars in Sichuan, and bandits take advantage of the opportunity to swarm up, doing all kinds of evil, which is very rampant, and the local people are worried about the day and night, and they can't stop worrying. In order to rectify law and order and eliminate bandits, I decided to carry out the clean-up of the township! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Chongxian: "The armed police have been expanded to six brigades, and together with the local governors, they will carry out the cleansing of the township." I'll tune it again, and then tune this Jia Haoyang! ”

"Here!"

"That is, from now on, remove the first two words of your division, and call it a guard division. Huang Zixuan, you transfer two more regiments from the Tiger Division, and they will be under the command of Jia Haoyang to assist in clearing the township! ”

"Yes!"

"Remember, don't be polite to bandits, fight when you should fight, kill when you should kill! There are also some so-called righteous bandits, dogs, who usually don't see them do any good deeds, and if they rob something and then divide it to the people, they are considered righteous bandits? Hit, hit me resolutely! Within half a year, I will purge the whole Sichuan bandits! ”

"Yes! Within half a year, the whole Sichuan bandits will be eliminated! ”

Wang Hengyue sat down with satisfaction: "Then there is the currency issue." Brother Qin, you can talk about this. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't call Qin like that." Qin Guangcheng hurriedly said respectfully, and then cleared his throat:

"Since the Wuchang Uprising, the military bills issued by the Junchuanyuan Bank and the large number of banknotes issued by the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications in Sichuan have been like waste paper among the people. In order to stabilize the people's livelihood and balance the fiscal revenues and expenditures, I propose to stop the circulation of 200 copper dollars and replace them with 50 copper dollars in circulation. For paper money, according to the currency value and price situation, first increase the value of paper money, the original one-dollar denomination banknote, converted into a coin one silver dollar and five jiao, so that the paper money circulating in the market gradually decreases, and the value of paper money is stable and no longer low. Only when the value of the currency is stable can market prices be calmed, people's lives be stabilized, and economic order can be restored. ”

"Okay, everything will be done as you say, and you will be solely responsible." Wang Hengyue didn't know much about this aspect, and he felt relieved that he had entrusted it all to Qin Guangcheng:

"Finally, there is the revitalization of industry and education. In the past, some people shouted that industry could save the country, but industry could not save the country, but without industry, the country and the local government could not develop. The first thing is to promote the development of industry and transportation, I decided to prepare a steel plant, and then build the Chengdu-Chongqing highway! ”

There was an exclamation from below.

"Everyone, no matter how hard it is, you have to cultivate, this is a major event related to the future!" Wang Hengyue said slowly: "No matter how difficult it is, no matter how much money you spend, you have to use the manpower to build the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway!" ”

I thought for a moment there: "Huai Zhao, you have been focusing on this recently. ”

"Yes!" Wang Qinglu replied calmly.

"It is necessary to hold various forms of grass-roots training classes, allocate funds to train technical personnel for industrial schools, and designate sugar and meat taxes to enrich industrial and educational funds, and these things must be grasped as soon as possible!" Wang Hengyue's face was solemn:

"Industry, education, no one is missing. Everyone is responsible for their own mess, I will check from time to time, catch someone who has a problem, don't blame me Wang Hengyue is not welcome! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Hengyue's voice was raised: "The last point is the opium problem!" First, continue to implement subsidies for farmers, and increase the original subsidy by one yuan per mu of land. The money for the implementation of high-yield crops and subsidies to farmers must be handed over to the farmers.

Second, we will resolutely crack down on local tyrants who openly violate the ban and privately grow and sell opium. For the common people, we must take advantage of the situation, but for those local tyrants, my Wang Hengyue will not blink his eyes when he kills people! ”

This meeting lasted a whole day.

It is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world, and now Wang Hengyue really understands the meaning of this sentence, he has to think of everything, he has to worry about everything, and he has to ask everything.

The name of the King of Sichuan sounds good, but you have to really sit on it to know the difficulty!
