Chapter 161: The Ambition of the Three Eastern Provinces
After Wang Bin finished talking to Ma Longbiao and Xu Dajun about the suppression of bandits, he hurriedly went to the staff meeting, and the current territory is two more than the previous Fengtian Province, so it is natural to have a good discussion with the staff on how to develop this issue.
The previous development of Fengtian can be said to be thriving, this time for the development of Jilin and Heilongjiang Wang Bin originally wanted to implement in accordance with the development plan of Fengtian, but in the end Wang Bin felt that he was not feasible in this way, after all, he was not an authority in this area, for the development of Jilin and Heilongjiang Wang Bin just had a general plan in his mind, if he really began to develop, he still had to listen to the suggestions of the following staff.
After Wang Bin arrived in the conference room, a group of staff had already arrived here, one by one gathered to talk about this, and these staff members immediately stopped the ongoing communication after seeing Wang Bin arrive, and sat down one by one to wait for Wang Bin to start speaking.
Wang Bin saw that these staff members sat down one by one and waited for their own words, so he didn't say anything more and said directly: "When you come here today, everyone knows it, that is, let you have any thoughts on the development of Jilin, Heilongjiang and Fengtian in the future. ”
After Wang Bin finished speaking, he looked at the staff below, and after seeing Wang Bin looking down, these staff members immediately straightened their backs one by one.
At this time, I saw Xiong Xiling suddenly stand up and said: "My lord, my subordinates sent people to check on Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province not long ago. ”
"Therefore, the subordinates think that the first thing to do is to clean up the bandits in these two provinces, and then allocate special funds to repair these houses, so that the adults can further win the hearts of the people in these two provinces."
After Xiong Xiling finished speaking, Liang Zilong on the side also echoed: "My lord, in addition, the financial situation of Jilin and Heilongjiang is also precarious, and the local economy is almost equivalent to stagnation, so these two provinces must inject a certain amount of additional funds to make the economy of these two provinces gradually recover." ”
After listening to Xiong Xiling and Liang Zilong's words, Wang Bin paused for a moment and then said to Xiong Xiling: "Xiling, according to what you and Zilong said, I don't know how much money and silver it will cost in total?" ”
After all, the future development of the three northeastern provinces is closely linked to their own interests, so the money that should be paid still has to be paid, but Wang Bin does not have a clear concept of how much money is needed to repair private houses and the economic recovery of Jilin and Heilongjiang, and how much money can be taken out of the current finance.
So Wang Bin had no choice but to ask his housekeeper Xiong Xiling, after all, Xiong Xiling is a professional in this field, and his peers are also in charge of this Fengtian's "money bag".
Xiong Xiling saw Wang Bin asking at himself, when he took out a notebook and a pencil and began to calculate, after calculating for a while, Xiong Xiling raised his head and said to Wang Bin: "My lord, this repair house is at most one or two taels of silver per house, although the houses in these two provinces have not been counted, but it will not be too much, and now the population of Jilin and Heilongjiang is greatly reduced, so this item will only cost six or seven hundred thousand taels of silver at most, As for this economy, for the time being, it is only used for people's livelihood, so after the calculation of the subordinate figures, this time a total of about 3.6 million silver taels need to be invested in Jilin and Heilongjiang as a preliminary investment. ”
"Is the current financial situation still bearable?" Wang Bin then asked the question he was most concerned about.
"My lord, there is no need to worry too much about this at the moment, this year's tax revenue has only been collected in a few months, and it has not taken a few months to go out to invest in the army, people's livelihood, and education, and there is still a surplus of more than seven million taels, which is enough to last next year's tax revenue, and there is still a batch of emergency funds in this treasury with a quantity of 1.5 million taels, which is more than enough to use." Xiong Xiling continued Wang Bin's words.
After listening to Xiong Xiling's words, Wang Bindang was much more relieved, and then Wang Bin said: "After this solution, there is still one thing that needs to be solved. ”
Originally, in Wang Bin's opinion, according to the situation, it is very likely that when the three eastern provinces have not yet been established, there will be a huge turmoil in the imperial court, but Wang Bin saw that Yuan Shikai's prestige at that time had surpassed the whole country, and the imperial court would inevitably suppress Yuan Shikai.
Then the Beiyang series will inevitably have a series of contradictions with the imperial court, then Wang Bin only needs to provoke a little, the imperial court and Beiyang will inevitably have disputes, and even willing to use knives and guns, at that time it is a good time for themselves to get out of the customs, but what I didn't expect is that everything is indeed going according to Wang Bin's script, but in the end, there was a problem, Yuan Shikai died, and Cixi directly seized this point to directly strangle this danger.
And Wang Bin has been thinking about how to get out of the customs, and he is not preparing for taking over the three eastern provinces at all, so he is not too concerned about the system of the three eastern provinces, and now after he has become the governor of the three eastern provinces, Wang Bin finds that he has to think about the official system of the three eastern provinces again.
With the current official system alone, it is okay to manage one province in Fengtian, but it is not enough to manage three provinces, there must always be a general management method, not just a simple province to set up a separate financial, educational, people's livelihood and other institutions, in Fengtian should also establish a general management body.
After Wang Bin expressed his intentions, these staff members first remained silent and then expressed their agreement, this territory is large, there must always be an organization that can manage all the institutions.
For example, in Mukden, a general finance bureau is needed to be responsible for managing all the finances of the three eastern provinces, and other education, agriculture and forestry, and patrol police are all doing so to build Fengtian into the political and economic core of the three eastern provinces.
So under the gossip of these staff, it was quickly determined that those departments should be established, the first to be established was the General Administration of Finance, which was undoubtedly in charge of Xiong Xiling, followed by the General Administration of Agriculture and Forestry or Cui Yun, and then the General Administration of Patrol Police and the General Administration of Education, which were respectively established by Deng Jichun and Tang Anguo.
This Tang Anguo is a very open educator in Fengtian, who can accept some Western knowledge, and is very famous for vigorously establishing education in Fengtian, so Wang Bin proposed this Tang Anguo to be the person in charge of the General Administration of Education. (To be continued.) )
