Chapter 698: Hong Xianchao sits on the country and the mountain in Taipingchun
The reconstitution of the republic is regarded as the smallest movement in the change of dynasty in recent years. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Since it was a petition and a parade before, everyone has already made some mental preparations, so as not to be caught off guard. The attitude of the northern provinces also seemed calmer, as if the Overseers had already prepared for the throne, and all that was lacking was this edict.
After the enthronement ceremony was held, there was a special envoy to Shandong to present Zhao Guanhou with a new dynasty dress, plus a full set of honor guards. Since the republic was changed to an imperial system, the original official system naturally changed. Yuan Weiting supervised the army in all provinces, and all added titles, or dukes, or marquis, compared with the previous Jin Dynasty miserliness of the famous lord, and even Zeng Wenzheng's crusade against the Taiping, but also only the marquis compared to the Hongxian Dynasty or the emperor's grace.
The one who came to Shandong to send the court clothes was Zhao Guanhou's sworn siblings, and Xiao Dezhang, a confidant of the Empress Dowager Longyu in the former Jin Dynasty. Before Yuan Weiting became emperor, he hired him as a consultant and asked about the etiquette in the palace so as not to attract ridicule. Xiao Dezhang originally thought that when the constitution was completed, he would inevitably be able to be the general manager. I don't want Yuan Weiting to restore the imperial system, but he refuses to restore the eunuchs, and only female officials are used in the palace, not eunuchs.
Xiao Dezhang was unable to serve in the palace, and he came out in vain to become a minister, not only failed to receive meritorious service awards, but also lost his reputation among the widows, and only then did he know that he was not as good as Li Lianying after all. This errand to send the reward can actually be regarded as a transfer, and after going to Zhao Guanhou to fight the autumn breeze, it is time to go back to the residence in the Jinmen concession to stay idle.
Zhao Guanhou had already prepared a passbook of 100,000 yuan, and handed it over as soon as he met. "The cost of the concession is large, and the eldest brother is not in charge of the palace now, and there is not much income, so with this money, you can also defend yourself."
When Xiaode was majestic, he might not care much about the 100,000 yuan. But now that he has no power or power, Zhao Guanhou is in charge, like a hero in the north, plus he is a sibling with a different surname from the imperial concubine, he doesn't have to sell his face at all, but he is willing to take out such a large sum of money, this is true friendship. I was greatly moved in my heart, and I spoke very sincerely
"Brother, my brother is not as good as you. Mr. Li was gone some time ago, and the person walked very peacefully, and he could be considered to have lived enough. After his death, he had a full face, and many old ministers mentioned him and praised him for his loyalty. I'm not as old as him, I shouldn't have come out to wade into this troubled water, and now, I am not a person inside and outside when I look in the mirror. Tell me, I'm not asking for my own suffering? ”
"The eldest brother is still young, and he always wants to do something, which I can understand. However, this is really not good enough. Yuan Weiting is already an adventure, how can he still use internal officials? Fortunately, I have friends in the concession, and I have many friends in Jinmen. With their care, it is not a problem to keep the eldest brother peaceful for half his life. ”
Xiaode Zhang bowed, "Don't thank you for your kindness, my brother, I won't say anything." My brother owes you nothing, and you can't pay it back. The industry under my name must all exist in your Zhengyuan, even if we have two grasshoppers on a rope, we can't run away from you, and we can't jump on me. It can be regarded as a friendship between our brothers. The emperor treats me well, but he treats you well, and has made a decree that all old couples and old people should not be called ministers. In particular, he also instructed me to explain to my brother that this country weighs a thousand pounds, and you have more than 800 on your shoulders. This country is shared by Yuan and Zhao, and they are still brothers, not monarchs and ministers. Xu Juren was only named the Four Friends of Songshan, but he was named the prince to his brother. Hong Xianchao, there are two princes in total, one is Li Huangpo in the Imperial City Division Hutong, and the other is you. Hereditary replacement, **** master, when this is put in the former gold, I don't dare to think about it. ”
Zhao Guanhou was noncommittal, and only asked: "I heard that Li Huangpo himself didn't take this seal?" ”
"He doesn't know what to do! Originally, he was to give him a face and reward him as a prince, but he was not happy. The emperor has a will, and he can't allow him to push back, in fact, now that there is no president, his vice president will be automatically invalidated. It is not an exaggeration to blast him out of the capital, and it is the emperor's grace to give him a prince and a knighthood. When you want to put the former gold, dare to resist the decree? This should give him a suicide! ”
"After all, it is a constitutional monarchy, not a monarchy, how can you say that you will commit suicide, we still have to talk about the law. The title of this prince is counted as the thanksgiving telegram of Shandong, which I will take...... I think the uncle has already prepared it for me, and I am happy to save a few telegram fees. ”
Xiao Dezhang was stunned, it seemed that this prince's position did not make Zhao Guanhou very happy. Thinking of his relationship with the imperial concubine, maybe he was dissatisfied with the eldest prince? "Brother, I listen to what you mean, aren't you very happy? In my opinion, Your Majesty is still good to your brothers, not to mention that now there is a distinction between monarchs and ministers, and you can't mess with respect and inferiority, you can't treat the emperor like a president. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "Big brother, your brain is still in the front gold." Now the world has changed, and the emperor ...... Prince, it's useless. I'll let you prepare a table for you later, I still have guests here, but I won't accompany my eldest brother. ”
Xiao Dezhang is naturally not qualified to be angry with Zhao Guanhou now, so he hurriedly said: "You are busy, I will take care of myself, and I will return to Jinmen in two days." I don't know, which distinguished guest came, is it inconvenient to introduce? ”
"There's nothing inconvenient, just a few scholars. Although it is not respectable, it is enough to be noble, everyone is not a person all the way, and you have nothing to say to them. Otherwise, it's okay if everyone eats together. ”
Since the implementation of the Hongxian Imperial System, he has vigorously advocated the old learning, taking Confucianism as the state religion, and comprehensively advocating the retro law. Xinxue, which was established for several years, became the first batch of martyrs in the Gonghe. Although it has not been demolished or closed, the policy is becoming stricter and stricter, and the so-called independent spirit of running a school, academic self-ownership, etc., cannot be discussed. A large number of advocates of Xinxue, along with some Chinese scholars, have chosen to leave Beijing.
A large number of them bought boats and went south to develop in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but some of them chose Shandong. Different from those previous readers who pursued romance, these people valued Zhao Guanhou's prestige and attitude towards readers.
Shandong's scholars can also enjoy high salaries and high treatments, such as the study of literature, which has little practical role in production and construction. Therefore, many people who are known as masters are also willing to come to live in Shandong. Yu Meiren, director of the Shandong Department of Education, is not very knowledgeable. It's just that he has good means, is good at perfunctory parties, and is one of Zhao Guanhou's outer rooms, so he can sit in this position. Now that a group of masters are coming, she can't hold back the scene, and Zhao Guanhou set up a dinner party to support her.
Shandong's official entertainment dinners are all set up in the Deyi Building. This industry under the name of Yang Cuiyu is still run by the sisters of the Fengxiang class in the past. These women from Bada Hutong have no doubt about their ability to entertain guests. When Zhao Guanhou arrived, he saw that there was already an extra female shopkeeper beside each master, and the atmosphere was harmonious with each other, and it was not as he imagined, these people joined hands to put pressure on the jade beauty.
"Thanks to a few shopkeepers, as soon as they came out, they stabilized the scene. Otherwise, it's a real nuisance. Whether it is these grandmasters or everyone, they can't beat or scold, so they can only support them. Partial birth, these people are all knowledgeable, where can I put a woman from a hall in my eyes? If we join forces to make a difficulty, I, the director of education, will not be able to control the scene. ”
Finding an opportunity, Yumeiren and Zhao Guanhou slipped out and talked in a low voice outside, "They want to teach in Shandong, which is of course a good thing, but these people have a bad temper, will they become incense and attract ghosts?" ”
"You don't have to be afraid of this, with me supporting you, whoever dares not to obey your orders, I don't care what his identity is, and I will clean it up." Zhao Guanhou smiled and took the hand of the jade beauty, "Although you are not as knowledgeable as them, you are not knowledgeable enough. But you have enough brains and money in your hands, can't you deal with these masters? They are not in harmony with each other, pulling one faction to fight another, and using their own people against their own people, it is not difficult to control the situation. Although their knowledge is not of much help to the current Shandong industry. But in the long run, everyone is a treasure trove. Just say that at the moment, they can attract more intellectuals to us by issuing a call, and the more people in Shandong know how to read, the stronger the power. The emperor lost them more terrible than the loss of a division of officers and soldiers. ”
Yumeiren has been the director of education for several years, and she has already realized the importance of culture and education. nodded and said, "It's a pity that there are too few people like Guan Shuai." What they said was that they chose to leave the authoritarian capital in order to pursue academic autonomy and education for themselves. In fact, it's all about money. Whether it is the capital or the provinces, as long as there is poverty, they will start with education funds first. At present, Beijing is advocating the old learning, and those who teach the new learning have their funds reduced by 60 percent, and they are also distributed in banknotes. These masters have to eat and drink well, and they also have to write bureau tickets, how can this money be enough? Thinking about it, I am afraid that only we in Shandong can cut education funds without cutting education funds. ”
"Why, the tickets for two lines have begun to be worthless?"
"That's not really, but these masters have access to the Ministry of Finance, and they have heard the rumors. Now at the mint, it rotates 24 hours a day, printing money. As soon as the banknotes are printed, they have to be pulled out to pay the soldiers and pay the salaries of the civil servants. With such a printing method, sooner or later the ticket will become waste paper. As soon as these masters sat down, they asked me if I could exchange the tickets in their hands for the ocean......
Unlike the situation at the Shandong Mint, Liang Shiyi did not seal the tickets, but shipped them with the seals, and there were several large trucks ready to transport the finished products at all times. Even though the mint is operating at full capacity, the printed banknotes are still a drop in the bucket compared to the shortfall in demand. Let him curse more than once, these machines are so old, we should buy new machines to make money printing faster!
The weather is getting colder and colder, and as the end of the year approaches, everyone needs money. In particular, the capital has a large cost, many people use money, and the use of money is also large. The economy of the partial capital is not as good as that of other cities.
Prices are getting higher and higher, so that everyone can work together in the city, quite a strong sense of inadequacy. Not long ago, the War Department issued a report hoping for a salary increase, and the president personally approved eight words on it: "If you have a little heart, it will not be like this."
Even the darling of the president was snubbed, and the situation of the other yamen could be known without asking. The arrears of wages of employees in various departments have become the norm, and at the end of the year, it is impossible to say that they will not pay salaries. Yuan Keyun wants to train the new army, although the Preparatory Security Council has been abolished, the Preparatory Office for the Ceremony has been established, and since the president has become the emperor, everything must not be shabby. The palace has to be renovated, and the ceremonial guard halogen jade seal crown has to be remade, which one can have less money?
Due to the rebellion of the warships, the arms could not be delivered to Xiangdao, and Albion could not borrow the foreign debts that he had promised, so he had to find his own way. Rao is Liang Caishen is known as Luo Du's skill, but at this time it is no longer conceivable. Public bonds, duck slices, and even the banned duck slices sealed in the Songjiang warehouse were secretly stolen. However, the proceeds were still not enough to meet the expenses.
Liang Shiyi is not unable to see that printing banknotes is waiting to quench his thirst by drinking, but if he doesn't do this, how can he do it? When the new king ascends the throne, he must be gracious to all over the world, and the military salaries of the provinces cannot be in arrears, and the staff must be paid, and there is no money, what should I do?
Nest egg...... Inflation...... To hell with all the financial knowledge you have learned! Print money, print money, print money faster! Only enough money can solve the problems of the present, as for the future...... This can only be said later.
The money printing machine was at full power, working hard to provide a guarantee of loyalty to the Hongxian Dynasty. In Liang Shiyi's view, the overall economic situation of Gonghe is not bad, but because of the huge expenditure before and after the emperor's reign, a large amount of expenditure is needed in a short period of time, so the finances are facing unprecedented pressure. As long as you get through this hurdle, the future will be better. In a few years of peacetime, the gap caused by the indiscriminate issuance of banknotes this time can be filled.
However, his thoughts were obviously overly optimistic, and it was clear that God had no intention of favoring this troubled country. Located in Kunming, southwest of the map, on the day of the arrival of the telegram proclaiming the emperor and crowning Tang Rongchang as a first-class marquis, the five-color flag had already fallen, and in its place, it was the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag.
Cai Feng, who was originally the overseer of Yunnan as a native of Hunan, has some powerful factions in Yunnan who oppose him as the overseer of Yunnan. Even after he returned to Yunnan, there was also a boycott from many parties. However, with the announcement of the telegram of the official proclamation of the emperor and the order to abolish the provincial council, these powerful factions immediately switched sides, changing opposition to support. Tang Rongchang offered to return the position of Yunnan overseer to Cai Feng.
However, this Gonghe official did not take over the Great Seal, but advocated the formation of a Gonghe Army to protect the country and fight against Yuan. All officers above the regimental level swore an alliance in the Huguo Temple and made an oath to defend the union with their lives, and Cai Feng even said, "If you fail, you will die in battle, and you will never die; If you succeed, you will go into the wilderness, and you will never fight for turf." Immediately the message was drafted, and the whole country was electrified
"Natural disasters in China, the head of state conspired against the law, disdained the "Covenant Law", reneged on his oath, rebelled against public opinion, and regarded himself as an imperial ,......。
The president, the president of the Republic of China, all the officials are guarded, and all the officials of the Republic of China are guarded. If he is a sinner who betrays the Republic of China, he will of course lose his qualification as the head of state. …… If the imperial system is not eliminated forever from now on and the republic is ensured, then the internal security and the external security will be exhausted. Feng and the people today abide by this belief with the army and the people, sacrifice their lives unswervingly, and hope that those who eat the Lu of the Republic of China and do the affairs of the Republic of China will inspire the conscience of heaven and the righteousness of Shenzi. If we wait and see, or hold similarities and differences, then the trend of the situation can also be slightly predicted ....... Benefiting and doing evil, in the danger of a thought; Protecting the country and recovering the sect is of great importance. To the heart of the cloth, but the command of the real profit. ”
