Chapter 164: Money, It's Important

"On the one hand, the Protector Army wants to negotiate with us, and Sun Wen is making small moves in Guangzhou on the other hand, and wants to put a new government out, what does he mean?"

Yuan Datou, who was prominent for a while, was about to lose his breath, and now the power is in the hands of Duan Qirui, and the negotiations are all done up and down, what to do, the Beiyang faction basically has a charter.

But at this time, Sun Wen's matter made Beiyang very unhappy.

At this time, Xu Shuzheng, a new figure, who gradually showed his face in Beiyang, thought about it and said: "Teacher, the southwest is not necessarily monolithic. I think they are all people who want to support the army and respect themselves, all of them are better than ghosts, so it is better for us to put a little pressure on them, as long as these powerful factions do not support Sun Wen, Sun Wen is a scholar, and they will not become a climate. ”

Duan Qirui is a military figure, and as soon as he heard Xu Shuzheng's suggestion, he immediately took the case: "Okay, give Li Cunhou from Fujian, Cheng Qian from Hunan and others, and add officials to the knighthood." Hmph, let's put a little pressure on the Protector Army to see, Cai Ye went abroad, I see that they can still turn the sky upside down, and they make me angry, and they will be completely beaten by the whole line, and see that they are still arrogant. ”

It is impossible to start a war on all fronts, and Duan Qirui is just talking. However, the nailing in Fujian and Hunan really scared the southwest.

Zhao Hengxi and Tan Yanmin on the Hunan side, which is not an old fox, said that they were independent and opposed to Yuan Datou, but they all understood that there was nothing wrong with opposing Yuan Datou, but they couldn't oppose Beiyang, wouldn't that be looking for death.

The Hunan side was ready to move, the troops were facing the south, and the first to panic was Lu Rongting, Nima's, scared Lao Tzu to death, and hurriedly pulled out of Guizhou to turn around, Lu Rongting's last main force except for Chen Bingkun was mostly placed in Quanzhou, beware of Hunan in trouble.

Similarly, Liu Cunhou in the east was not a person of Anfen in the first place, and as soon as he got Duan Qirui's support, he was eyeing Meizhou and other places. Chen Jiongming looked at it, didn't say a word, didn't care what Sun Wen didn't care about Sun Wen or not, he left Guangzhou that night and rushed back to Dongjiang.

As a result, Sun Wen was surprised to find that Guangzhou City, which was lively a day ago, has now become a lonely feeling. How will my new government be built?

At this time, Yang Shuai returned to Nanning and received an unprecedented welcome. There are three reasons, one is that Yang Shuai stubbornly suppressed Tan Haoming's digging of the Third Army, which greatly united the Third Army. Second, because of Yang Shuai's strong support for industry and commerce, now Nanning and even the entire Beibu Gulf are grateful to Yang Shuai, especially the investment in education, which has made Yang Shuai's popularity unprecedentedly high, and greatly integrated the multi-ethnic people of Gui. The last point is that because of this Eastern Crusade, the achievements of Li Zongren's regiment have made the name Li Zongren begin to become famous.

Yang Shuai patted Li Zongren with a smile: "Zongren, did you hear those girls below call your name, hehehe, do you want to pick one?" ”

In a good mood, Yang Shuai couldn't help but joke, Yang Hua and the others also laughed, and even Bai Zhuge and the others, who greeted him painfully, opened their mouths and laughed, which made Li Zongren blush.

Construction, the next time, will usher in a golden period of development. After studying together, Yang Shuai, Bai Zhuge Linhu and other staff officers unanimously came to the conclusion that in the short term, there would be no war in the Third Army, and Nanning would have a rare period of peace.

Just when Yang Shuai thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Zhuge said at an inopportune time: "Commander, we have no money." ”

Yang Shuai was shocked, no money? How is this possible, when you think about it, you have a lot of money, and Shanghai has hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, and the industry in the family has been making a profit.

Bai Zhuge shook his head: "Commander, what I'm talking about is that the military department has no money, it's not that you have no money, the food bureau is empty, it's not that you're empty." ”

Yang Shuai then understood, damn, scared me to death. Since the implementation of the clear distinction between public and private, Yang Shuai has never been, or Yang Tai is no longer willing, to use the Yang family's money for the army. The Food and Salary Bureau was in charge of the entry and exit of the Third Army, and Bai Zhuge was of course the first to report this.

"To what extent?" Now relying on the taxes of Triangle Bay and Nanning, the Nanning Taxation Bureau is of course nervous, and Yang Shuai's recent investment in people's livelihood has signed a large amount of money, and there is not much left for the military department, so Yang Shuai has to ask about the specific situation.

Bai Zhuge looked at the accounts: "One month, now there is still a month's military salary, and next month, it is not enough." "Bai Zhuge took over as the head of Ma Junwu, and he is a capable person, if it weren't for the situation where he was powerless, Bai Zhuge would not have opened this mouth.

When Yang Shuai heard this, he glanced at Bai Zhuge : "Needless to say, the people's livelihood must not be able to get money, otherwise you wouldn't mention it to me." You told me that it must have been another idea to fight the army, didn't it? ”

The military force under Yang Shuai, most people only know about the Third Army of Guangxi, and few people pay attention to another force under Yang Shuai, that is, Weizhou Island. First, it is because the Ding Jiawu Navy has not shown up a few times, nor has it participated in any battles. Second, because of the blockade system currently implemented on Weizhou Island, although there are still residents on the island, few people on the shore talk about the island. If you are not a person with a heart, it is difficult to know that Yang Shuai also has a navy.

The Food and Salary Bureau is in charge of the logistics of the Third Army, but Ding Jiawu's navy has its own logistics system, and Yang Shuai seems to prefer the navy, and he almost gave the shares of the Triangle Bay Wharf to the navy at the beginning, which shows the degree of Yang Shuai's preference.

Hearing that Ding Jiawu still had about one million in his hands, Bai Zhuge came up with the idea of the navy. But it was because of Bai Zhuge that the navy lost the shares of the Triangle Bay Wharf, Bai Zhuge is now a person who is not to be seen in the navy, Bai Zhuge knows that he went to find Ding Jiawu by himself, and it was 100% useless, so he made a heart and looked for Yang Shuai.

Now when Bai Zhuge heard Yang Shuai say this, he lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled, and he didn't deny it.

"Commander, if you borrow it, borrow it from the navy, wait for next month, no, the Food and Salary Bureau will allocate the money from the treasury at the beginning of next year, and it will be repaid immediately."

Yang Shuai thought for a while and turned around: "Hero, come over to Yang Tai." ”

Bai Zhuge was stunned, what are you looking for Yang Tai, is it possible that the army commander has to pay out of his own pocket?

"Commander, in fact, no, it is enough to transfer funds directly from the navy, if you pay again, then some people will say that you raise a private army, and that the third army is your private product."

This is the strange thing these days, some people are like this, he doesn't contribute himself, others contribute to the country, and he is jealous, so he will do everything possible to ruin your reputation. For example, some people say that Yang Shuai pays for his own soldiers, which is not in accordance with the rules, isn't this third army your private army?

Damn, look at it now, which one has a soldier and doesn't raise it himself?

I can't afford to hurt it.

Yang Shuai: "You call me out now, I won't come out, you know more or less about my family background, these two years of tossing, my father's savings have been lost to me, what money do I have." Also, even if I have money, I have to keep it, the European plan cannot be broken, and when the negotiations with foreigners are completed, I must buy a ship with foreigners, and I can't do anything without money. ”

As soon as he heard about money, Bai Zhuge immediately lit up his eyes, to say that Bai Zhuge is not only a genius in military strategy, but also has a hand in political struggle, and Yang Shuai also saw another domineering talent from Bai Zhuge , I am about money.

First, the Food and Salary Bureau was separated from the Ministry of Finance, so that Yang Shuai could see Bai Zhuge in this regard. Then Bai Zhuge helped the Food and Salary Bureau to snatch a part of the share share of the arsenal and the wharf from the Ministry of Finance, so that the Food and Salary Bureau suddenly had the idea of small finance.

It turned out that on the issue of the joint shareholding of the state and the people of the arsenal and the Triangle Bay wharf, a contract was finally reached, that is, Yang Shuai held 60 percent of the shares of the arsenal and the wharf, while the Nanning Ministry of Finance held 40 percent.

And Bai Zhuge looked at it, although the Food and Salary Bureau now has the power to allocate funds, it is still subject to the Finance Bureau to a certain extent. He rushed in one by one, dead and alive, and actually dug out 5 percent of the 40 percent of the Ministry of Finance. Let Ma Junwu, Li Zhengwen and others hate Bai Zhuge to the core, and they are called little foxes behind their backs.

Now, as soon as Bai Zhuge heard about Europe's plan, he suddenly came up with a bold plan.

"That, Commander, Commander, I think, ah, this European material plan, very good."

Yang Shuai was stunned: ", haven't you discussed it before, you also put forward a lot of opinions, hey, no, I see that your face is wrong, ah, you kid shouldn't be playing any ghost idea again." ”

Bai Zhuge hurried: "No, no, absolutely not, where do I dare to fight any ghost idea." Commander, I just think, you see, this European plan, the commander is planning to mobilize as many people as possible, isn't it? ”

Yang Shuai rolled his eyes: "Yes, this is an account that is guaranteed to be profitable, and besides, I can't make it alone." At this time, Yang Shuai was 100% sure of what Bai Zhuge was thinking.

"So, military commander, I think it would happen, you said that if our food bureau also paid for it, and went with the captain of your boat, what do you say?" After speaking, Bai Zhuge looked at Yang Shuai cautiously.

Yang Shuai was speechless for a while, and he knew that he knew that this kid was now in the money bag and wanted to make money.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shuai was not angry, but said calmly: "A freighter with ocean-going capabilities will cost more than one million at least, and hundreds of thousands for a smaller one." You still have to come to cry for me now, you can't pay the military salary for the next rain, and you still want a piece of the pie? ”

Yang Shuai's blow did not make Bai Zhuge flinch, on the contrary, Bai Zhuge listened to Yang Shuai's words and was overjoyed, Yang Shuai's words revealed a message, that is, as long as you have money, I have no objection.

Bai Zhuge hurriedly said: "Commander, the Food and Salary Bureau has no money, that's just now, and it is estimated that the affairs of Europe will not be settled for a while and a half, and the Food and Salary Bureau may have money by then, definitely, there must be money." ”

Yang Shuai looked at Bai Zhuge excitedly, and couldn't help but feel in his heart, Bai Zhuge is a quiet and calm person, why is it like this, it's all about money.
