Chapter 247: Clearing the House
Duan Fang stood up, walked slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, I can't say anything more." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoKing Qing, do you know that King Su will end up like this? He colluded with the Japanese to sneak out of the customs to rebel and cause chaos. Commissioner Chen has already grasped the evidence, and soon the military and police will raid the Su Mansion and lock up the relevant people. If you are convicted of treason, it will be like raiding your family and destroying your family! If this king of Su climbs and bites indiscriminately, it will be difficult to protect the fish in the pond. When the time comes, it will depend on the impression that everyone has on Commissioner Chen and the new government. β
Yixuan immediately heard the voice, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"It's an expedient measure to hide in the concession." Duan Fang continued: "Can you still nest for the rest of your life and not come out and walk around? Zai Zhenxian's nephew is still young, and he still has offspring, so he lives in fear. If this matter is publicized, King Qing will not take care of the lives of the people, and second, he will not contribute to the government, I am afraid that there will be good people who will come to find trouble! β
Yixuan's face turned pale, and he snorted: "I am willing to invest, I am willing to invest." β
Duan Fang slowly turned around and said coldly: "King Qing, you are really willing, but don't be reluctant!" β
"Not reluctantly, not reluctantly at all." Yixuan gritted his teeth and said: "This is for our future life considerations, but I was confused and didn't understand it." Money is not for nothing, and there are dividends, so why not? β
A smile appeared on Duanfang's face, and he walked over and patted Yixuan's arm cordially, and said softly, "Why bother? The new government is very benevolent to all of you, does not confiscate family property, does not arrest indiscriminately, but only allows you to invest in the country, and also considers your future life. Sit and eat the mountains and empty mountains, even if you have thousands of family wealth. How long can it last? Even the Queen Mother couldn't bear to see the hardships of the people, so she took out her private children and bought shares. Why should you be stingy and invite resentment and revenge? β
"The Queen Motherβ" Yixuan paused and asked, "I heard that Commissioner Chen went to visit the Queen Mother today, I don't know what the result will be?" β
"Everybody rejoices." Duan Fang also had to nod in admiration, "Commissioner Chen is really talented. After some analysis, it was sincere and sincere, which made the Queen Mother happy and convinced. The preferential treatment clauses have been greatly relaxed, if there are no accidents, the queen mother and the emperor do not have to worry anymore, and they can be safe. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Judging from historical experience, coercion by force is generally successful, and it can also avoid a lot of verbal disputes. Under the suppression of power, the Manchu princes had no power to resist. However, if Chen Wenqiang wants to be famous as a teacher and not be accused of trampling on the law, it is best for them to be consciously voluntary.
Yi Xuan succumbed, and Jae-jin succumbed. In other words, in fact, they did not lose anything, as Chen Wenqiang said, money is not confiscation, it is investment. Only temporarily at the disposal of the government. Ten years later, it's still theirs. It is not impossible to double it in ten years, and the result of not agreeing to it is too terrible. The family is ruined, the family is bankrupt, and anyone has to think about it. Of course, Chen Wenqiang may not be ready to do this, and there are still many elements to scare them.
"When the money is in place, the blockade of Qingwangfu will be lifted immediately, and others must see the benefits. will be followed by others. Chen Wenqiang tapped lightly on the table and said thoughtfully: "Zhi'an, what do you think we should do next?" β
Zhao Bingjun pondered for a while and said: "My subordinates are a little stupid, but they are suspected of having an axe. β
"Tell me about it. Don't keep those clichΓ©s. Chen Wenqiang waved his hand and motioned for him to speak up.
"The use of the money donated by Yiqiao to help the poor people is of course, which is nominally a compassionate act by the government." Zhao Bingjun said: "Treat the poor banner people differently from the Manchu relatives and nobles, so that they can't set off the storm." Let out the rumors, or deliberately encircle a few Manchu relatives and nobles, take them as an example, and let others follow. Solve the two in the Forbidden City as soon as possible, and the preferential conditions will be confirmed, so as to save people panic. β
"Yes, that's very methodical." Chen Wenqiang nodded and said appreciatively: "Relief for the poor will be done immediately, and it will be up to you to let out the news or envelop the Manchu relatives and nobles." When I need to intervene, you report to me in advance. In addition, you can find some lower-class representatives of the bannermen in Beijing and hold a negotiation meeting on preferential conditions, not just the royal family and nobles. Also, make an appointment to meet Jaefeng for me, and I'm going to start solving the affairs of the palace. β
Zhao Bingjun took out a pen and paper very seriously, recorded Chen Wenqiang's order, bowed slightly, and turned away.
This guy is a talent, but unfortunately he doesn't dare to reuse it for the time being, Chen Wenqiang squinted his eyes, looked at Zhao Bingjun's departing figure, and his brain turned again.
The relocation of Longyu and Pu Yi from the Forbidden City was in line with popular will, and there was no reason for the common people to spend millions of silver dollars a year to support a useless Xuantong. This is also in line with the national interest, and eliminating the shadow of the feudal Manchu Qing and preserving the hard-won republican system has a bearing on the vital interests of all Chinese.
But is there a need to get rid of evil? This question has been plaguing Chen Wenqiang. Kill Pu Yi, and the Japanese won't be able to find someone to support? Pu Jie, the descendants of Aixin Jueluo, especially the descendants of the direct bloodline, can kill as many as they can, as if this is not a good way. There are not many villains who are willing to take refuge in foreigners and help foreigners invade China and establish a puppet regime, and they can even find a Japanese who can speak Manchu and say that he has the blood of Aixin Jueluo.
If you can't prevent it, you can only find countermeasures from yourself. Iron must also be hard, this sentence is very apt. When the country is strong, external forces will naturally not be able to intervene, and internal enemies will not have the strength to resist. A weak country, of course, will have a lot of opportunities for people to take advantage of loopholes.
A little child, let him go first! But future monitoring must exist, and his growing environment must be under control. What good things can be taught by those old and young can only be taught by a traitor who has no patriotic thoughts and only regards being an emperor as the only ideal in his life.
For Chen Wenqiang and Beijing's new leadership team, the work is more trivial and complicated. Of course, if you are not responsible, you don't have to be tired to death.
There are many people in the city banner of Beijing, most of them are at the bottom of society, and similarly, most of the Han people are also in poverty. If we want Beijing to take on a new look as the capital, the new government must make an image of equality among all ethnic groups and sympathetic to the people of Beijing and solve the problem of the poor.
At this time, the Manchu people, especially the bannermen in Beijing, faced two major problems. It's ethnic discrimination and livelihood difficulties. At that time, "the banner people of Tunju, Jingdong and Jingbei, most of them had no food and clothing...... Hardship. Those who are poor have no way to borrow and have no means to make a living...... So the tyrants become thieves, and the scoundrels become prostitutes. Bibi has it. β
It can be seen that at any time, it is the lower class of laborers who suffer. For the people of Beijing, their hardships were not just after the Republic of China, but during the Republic of China, in addition to the hardships of life, there were more mental pains. It is precisely because of ethnic discrimination that their livelihood problems are more difficult to solve.
First of all, there is a narrow nationalism in the media, and articles advocating ethnic discrimination have basically been eliminated, and instead there is a lot of propaganda for ethnic equality. The slogan of self-reliance. Many newspaper reading columns have been set up in the city, and students from some colleges and universities have been mobilized to serve as volunteer newspaper readers to spread the word to the public.
At the same time, a number of vocational and technical schools came into being, and new factories began to train workers and put them into construction. Wangzhuang Qitian was measured, mainly for the poor, not only low rent, but also to provide them with small low-interest loans as start-up capital. The Environmental Sanitation Bureau and the Municipal Engineering Bureau were established. began to recruit personnel, and the Manchurian and Han were not restricted. The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) issues a tax reduction order. People were encouraged to make a living by doing small business, and four large integrated outdoor markets were planned and opened for business.
Various government departments also responded to the call and began to recruit staff, of course, the conditions were much higher. Most notably, the War Office began recruiting female medical staff. It is required to be healthy, full-bodied, and able to bear hardships and stand hard work. All of a sudden, a large number of flag girl girls were absorbed, and after receiving the advance monthly salary. All of them entered the short course and began to learn medical knowledge. And there is some military training content in it.
In addition to bringing in some officials, Chen Wenqiang also absorbed a large number of personnel from the northern revolutionary organizations, as well as some full officials, and carried out his work vigorously and resolutely. Several major departments, including the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Engineering Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, and the Civil Affairs Bureau, were quickly established and began to operate. And the role of money is also reflected, the relief work has calmed people's hearts, and the material aid from the south is also in place. Coupled with the strict discipline of the troops in the capital, the city began to gradually stabilize after public buying and selling.
Zhao Bingjun did have some ability, no matter what method he used, the Manchu relatives and nobles began to bow to the government one by one, and Chen Wenqiang's fundraising plan went smoothly. Naturally, these soldiers in front of the Manchu pro-noble mansion began to withdraw, and the restrictions on their personal freedom were greatly relaxed, but they were still not allowed to leave the city at will.
The negotiations on the "preferential conditions for the Qing Dynasty" are also coming to an end, and the last issue that needs to be resolved is the debate over the distinction between public and private property in the Forbidden City.
According to Chen Wenqiang's original plan, the aftermath committee was organized, and together with the personnel of the Qing Dynasty, they coordinated the clean-up of public and private property to show the public. All the public property received was temporarily entrusted to the committee to take proper custody, and when all the property was closed, the palace ban was opened to the public, and it was used for books, museums, etc., so as to promote culture for a long time.
However, before the Aftermath Committee was established, the Qing Dynasty sought advice from someone or asked someone to dredge up the boundaries of antiquities regardless of era, subject to what was discovered by the Qing court, and belonged to the Qing Dynasty. The remnants of the Qing Dynasty advocated that the Qing Dynasty should divide more antiquities, and they moved around, with one voice, and spared no effort.
Lin Baishui, a well-known newspaperman, expressed his opinion in the "Social Daily": All kinds of antiquities in the palace, which should belong to the Qing Dynasty and which should belong to the people, should be purely based on whether they have historical value and whether they have anything to do with culture. Large and small pieces of jewelry, gold and silver, leather goods, silk and the like can all be classified as Qing Dynasty.
The large and heavy objects, as well as the gold and stone calligraphy and paintings related to history and culture, have been handed down as national treasures for thousands of years, and have nothing to do with Aixin Jueluo, and should be regarded as the public property of the state, and all of them should be displayed for the reference of those who study history, art and culture.
In the end, Chen Wenqiang made a final decision very arbitrarily, and acted according to Lin Baishui's opinion, and the property that should be assigned to the Qing room was divided into three, and part of it was returned to the Qing room; Part of it is used as an investment, and the dividend is raised to 5%, and the state pays the dividend on time every year for the purpose of cleaning up the house; The other part is to set up a resettlement and relief fund to help the poor in Manchu and Mongolia as appropriate.
Take other people's money for good deeds, keep a good name for yourself, and a bad name for others. The poor who are being helped will only say that the government is good, and the government has not paid much price.
Yuan Shikai shook his head again and again with the latest finalized "Preferential Treatment Terms", as a former minister of the Qing Dynasty, of course he felt that it was stricter than what he had set.
Emperor Xuantong of the Great Qing Dynasty will permanently abolish the title of emperor with immediate effect, and enjoy all the same rights as the citizens of the Republic of China in law; Since the fulfillment of these conditions, the government of the Republic of China has subsidized 1 million yuan per year for the families of the Qing family, and has spent 2 million yuan to set up a civilian factory in Beijing, so as to shelter the poor people with flag registration as much as possible; In accordance with the preferential conditions, the Qing family moved out of the forbidden palace to the Summer Palace, and was free to choose to live in the future, but the government still had the responsibility to protect it; All its private property shall be disposed of in accordance with preferential terms, and the government shall give special protection; All its public property shall belong to the Government of the State.........
Yuan Shikai sighed: "Looking at the history books, this is much stronger than many emperors of the previous dynasties, at least their lives are worry-free." If he hadn't taken the initiative to abdicate and give up the country, I'm afraid that the capital would be full of people and blood now, and there would be no one left in the Aixin Jueluo family. β
"I have to admire Chen Wenqiang's quick knife to cut through the mess, although he didn't chase stolen goods like Li Chuang, but the effect is almost the same." Yang Shiqi sighed: "Bank of Communications has raised 20 million shares, which can be regarded as surviving this hurdle." In the future, if the shares are publicly issued, the construction of the railway will be able to begin. If you don't borrow foreign debts, I'm afraid it will disappoint Zhu Erdian very much, and the powers will be dumbfounded! β
"Chen Wenqiang is really a master of making money, I think it may be more than that, and see how he raises his own funds to overhaul the railway!" Yuan Shikai let out a sigh of relief, and said with sighing and emotion: "If you can do such a big thing without losing the right, it will be a great merit. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The layout of the Forbidden City is strict and orderly, and every brick and tile follows the feudal hierarchical etiquette system, reflecting the supreme authority of the emperor. In the era of feudal monarchy, ordinary people could not and did not dare to take a step closer.
But now, Chen Wenqiang walked in as if he was loitering. The red walls and yellow tiles, the carved beams of the paintings, are splendid. The palace tower, high and low, spectacular and majestic.
"It's too big." "It's beautiful!" "Where the emperor lives." "We can come in too." β¦β¦
Several guards looked around, whispering, their faces full of curiosity and excitement.
"This place will be open to the public in the future, and anyone can come in and visit." Chen Wenqiang frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Republic, democracy, freedom, and equality are the trend of the times, and whoever wants to block this trend will be crushed into powder." The emperor is gone, and his word is gone, and there is no export constitution, and there will never be one in the future. β
