Chapter 161: Preparing for the Arsenal

Although Li Han did not ask much about the details of the work of the provincial government, every month the heads of several major departments of the provincial government, including Wang Wei, would report to him on the progress of the government's work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, Li Han knew that the provincial government's gross income would reach three million oceans starting next month.

Of course, excluding the salaries of government department staff and the military expenses of the security forces, after deducting other miscellaneous items, there will probably be about one million oceans leftover.

This is already very good, because Chahar province has always been in the bottom three of the national economic rankings, and in many cases not only cannot pay taxes to the central government, but needs central government funding to keep the provincial government running.

This is the advantage of unifying the whole province, and if the national government can actually unify the whole country, then the annual fiscal revenue will be a very considerable amount.

It was enough for the Nationalist Government to arm more German armourers, but unfortunately, this was not achieved until the day the Nationalist Government fell.

Since there is at least one million oceans every month, Li Han plans to borrow a little more, and he does not plan to borrow from the common people, because the speed of money is too slow and not suitable for the situation he is encountering now, and once there is an emergency, it will easily be used by the Japanese as a weapon to attack the government.

"Elder Yan, how much money can be raised if you sell bonds to merchants, and how long will it take?"

This is what Li Han is most concerned about, the development of Chahar is on the right track, and the Jews will have to wait until at least next year if they want to respond.

Although the mustache has expressed his intention to deal with the Jews, after all, there is no formal law, so the Jews in Germany are still in a wait-and-see mode, after all, moving is not a simple matter.

"At present, including the old man, there are more than 10 businessmen working in the provincial government, and there are also many businessmen in other cities and counties working in government departments.

Yan Zhonghua said.

"What's so much? It seems that during this time, all the princes have made a lot of money! ”

Li Han said with an unhappy face, originally he thought it would be good to be able to borrow hundreds of thousands of oceans, but he didn't expect that he underestimated these merchants.

The figure of five million oceans shocked Li Han, just a businessman who worked in a government agency could lend five million oceans, and according to Yan Zhonghua, these five million oceans were far from their limit.

Li Han immediately thought that these people must have taken the opportunity of Chahar's large-scale development to take care of both public and private interests, and to enrich themselves privately.

He worked hard to develop in Chahar for a few months, not only did he not earn a dime, but also filled in all the funds he had saved hundreds of thousands of oceans before, but in the end, he raised these businessmen fat, and it is no wonder that Li Han can be happy.

Although he had long expected that after the businessman entered the government department, such a thing would be inevitable, but it was too fast.

"Military seat, five million sounds like a lot, but if it is spread over dozens of businessmen, it is only a few hundred thousand oceans.

Now there are many businessmen who are optimistic about Chahar, so the businessmen who come to invest are also big businessmen, and they still take out hundreds of thousands of oceans, and they still lend them to the government rather than give them to the government. ”

Yan Zhonghua is a scheming person, and when he saw Li Han's reaction, he knew that he must be suspecting that their money came from an unknown source.

But this is really Li Han thinking too much, although Chahar has developed well, but the time is relatively short, and he does not have the ability to achieve dozens of big businessmen worth hundreds of thousands of oceans. The hundreds of thousands of oceans in this period are not a small number, and they are almost the same as the billionaires of modern society.

However, Li Han's sudden change of color made Yan Zhonghua a little afraid, Li Han had never shown such an expression in front of him before, he had always been kind and respectful.

Yan Zhonghua didn't show all this, because on the day he took office in the Ministry of Finance, Yan Zhonghua didn't bother with the specific affairs of Yan's firm, just thinking that he knew that the composition of the businessman would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

He is now the director of the Department of Finance, his son is the main head of the security army, and his daughter is in college in Beiping, so it can be said that he already has everything that an ordinary person wants to have.

Now Yan Zhonghua has nothing else to ask for, the only goal is to do some outstanding political achievements in the position of Minister of Finance, so as to be an official and benefit a place, and the best thing is to leave a good reputation in the era of the Republic of China.

However, after going back this time, he was going to warn the other descendants of the Yan family not to touch Li Han's red line, otherwise even if he could hide from the first day of junior high school, he would not be able to hide from the fifteenth.

"Junzuo, you misunderstood Yan Lao, the businessmen and government departments who came to inspect have records, and the businessmen who can be invited by Yan Lao are all big businessmen in the Beijing-Tianjin region, and hundreds of thousands of oceans are really not difficult for them."

Wang Wei also added that in the past few months, he, Yan Zhonghua and Shi Dingzhong have often discussed the prospects for the development of Chahar together, and witnessed Yan Zhonghua's hard work for the development of Chahar, so Wang Wei admires Yan Zhonghua very much.

"Old Yan, I'm sorry, I spoke a little heavily, but you know, I didn't mean to target you."

Li Han also found that his words were a bit widespread, not to mention Yan Zhonghua's efforts for Chahar during this time, just with his net worth and status, there was no need to work this little money.

"The military seat is serious, let's continue to say, I don't know how many bonds the military seat intends to issue this time."

Yan Zhonghua smiled and said.

He has walked more bridges than Li Han has walked, and of course he won't mind what Li Han says.

And Yan Zhonghua knows that he is now a person on Li Han's boat, not only is he and his son hit, but even his daughter is estimated to have to accompany him, for him, the more powerful Li Han is, the better.

"Then let's borrow five million oceans first, with this money should be enough."

Li Han said.

"Junza, five million oceans is not a small number, I don't know what Junza plans to do with this money?"

For Li Han's order, Wang Wei has always not asked, but this time the amount is a bit large, just to repay the money The provincial government has to work in vain for more than half a year, which seriously affects the follow-up development plan of the provincial government, as the actual person in charge of the provincial government, Wang Wei of course wants to know what Li Han borrowed such a large amount of money to do.

Of course, Li Han of the five million oceans will not be used to arm the volunteers, and he is not as selfless as the Grand Duke.

Li Han had been planning to wait for the money to prepare for the construction of the arsenal, but Yan Zhonghua's proposal to issue government bonds just helped Li Han solve this problem.

Of course, the only difference is that Li Han doesn't even have to give a down payment now, and of course he can't afford it. But it was not without a price, because he was collateralized by the credibility of the government.

Of course, this is not a big problem for Li Han, because he is confident that Chahar will develop more prosperous and powerful.

"Wang Wei, I'm going to build an arsenal in Chahar, do you have a suitable candidate over there?"

Even if Wang Wei didn't ask him, Li Han was going to talk to Wang Wei, five million was not a small number for Chahar, and Li Han knew that he had to give an explanation to Wang Wei and the provincial government.

And building an arsenal is not a matter of one sentence, these need Wang Wei to arrange people to do it, Li Hanzheng is only responsible for making this decision and paying money, strictly speaking, it can't even be counted, because the money you borrowed from him has to be repaid by the provincial government in the end.

"Junzuo, I have also considered the matter of the arsenal, but to build the arsenal, the most lacking thing for us is not money, but technical personnel.

Money, we pool the financial resources of the whole province, and we will be able to build an arsenal in a few months, and the equipment can be done at some cost, but the technical personnel are not easy to handle. ”

During the Republican period, building an arsenal was something that both the local powerful faction and the central government had to do, because it was too expensive to buy ordnance.

Originally, it only took ten or twenty yuan to solve the problem, but buying from others may cost twenty or forty yuan, and it is easy to be controlled by others.

If you can make a difference yourself, not only can you greatly reduce the cost, but you can also use arms to control other warlords.

However, the arsenal is not to throw money down, and then just find a few workers, it is necessary to have a core technical backbone, but where to find military talents in Chahar.

If you recruit people from other provinces, it will definitely attract the suspicion of the Nanjing government, and it is possible to do it directly against them.

Wang Wei is also from the military system, of course, he also knows the importance of the arsenal to the security army, but he feels that it is not the right time, if he is given a year, he will also suggest that Li Han prepare for the arsenal without Li Han saying it.

The devil is eyeing the enemy at the door of his home, if he does not develop military strength, no matter how well he builds Chahar, it is just a piece of meat on the lips of the Japanese, not only can he not contribute to the Republic of China, but he will cheapen the Japanese in vain.

However, whether from the financial aspect or from the perspective of technical talent reserves, Chahar does not yet have this ability.

"For the technical personnel, I'll figure out a way, you will build the arsenal first, and the machinery and equipment must be prepared first.

We can also produce bullets and shells first, and I've already negotiated the bullet production line with Will, so you can just send someone to contact him when the time comes. ”

Li Han originally had the same idea as Wang Wei, and planned to set up an arsenal in another year, because now it is indeed as Wang Wei said, neither money nor technical personnel Chahar has it.

However, Li Han and Wang Wei have some different ideas, and the reason why he plans to wait is because the provincial government really has no money.

This is the key, without money, no one can build an arsenal, and the machinery and equipment for the production of weapons cannot be bought. Without money, Li Han can also be a clever woman who can cook without rice.

As for the technicians, to use a phrase from later generations: there will always be crowding.
