"You are issuing reckless bills in Shandong, if the new civil governor goes, will the value of the currency be turbulent? How much do you have reserves, and how much cash do you have? ”

"Returning to the president's words, the total number of reckless bills issued by the lowly post in Shandong is about 15 million yuan, and the reserves, gold and silver, totaling more than 7 million taels. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info raided several gentry in northern Jiangsu this time, and got about one million or so silver, and added two million. The number of over-issuance, which is double the principal, has been conservative to the extreme, and there will be no problems. ”

After Yuan Weiting became the provisional president, his subordinates and military generals were all rewarded, and they had to appease the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of several towns in Beiyang, and money was the most important thing. Liang Shiyi is good at accumulation, serving as the secretary general of the presidential office, and his ability to accumulate is also very related, and he will not miss the issue of banknotes.

Since the printing of banknotes at the end of the gold period, Daikin has issued banknotes several times, but they have all been abandoned halfway, among which counterfeit bills and credit bankruptcy are important factors. Liang is anti-counterfeiting money, specially imported American cotton paper from Taixi to print money, this kind of paper can not be produced in China, as long as the quantity is strictly controlled, there is no way to counterfeit.

Jensen served as Shandong's financial adviser, and he would not lag behind in the matter of issuing banknotes. Taking the opportunity of importing American cotton paper, Jensen also imported a large number of the same paper and issued reckless stamps in Shandong. The printing machine it uses is more advanced than that of CCCC and CCCC, and the ticket is not only beautifully printed, but also of better quality than the ticket of CCCC, coupled with the prosperity of Shandong's economy, the value of the ticket is strong, and it is very well received by the people. Yuan Weiting is printed on one side of the ticket, and the head of Zhao Guanhou is printed on the other, which can be regarded as bold. Fortunately, there is also Jensen's avatar alongside Zhao Guanhou, and this time, the responsibility is not on Zhao Guanhou.

What Yuan Weiting is worried about is that Shandong's financial self-proclaimed system, after this kind of indiscriminate issuance of tickets, the imperial court will be asked to clean up the aftermath in the future. Hearing that Zhao Guanhou was sure of control, he breathed a sigh of relief. If paper money is not issued indiscriminately, some people will dare to accept this stall in Shandong. But then he remembered something again, and asked again:

"You don't set up obstacles, I believe it, but what about the foreigners? I changed people, and foreigners were willing to buy his account. Whether he can continue to maintain Shandong's economy like you is all about the question. ”

Yuan Weiting didn't hide his thoughts, "The things you cause are not much trouble, they are nothing more than some people, kill them." In fact, as long as you put some charges on them, you can completely explain it. Now that there are white wolves in Henan, you can say that they colluded with the white wolves to harm the township, even if Kang Nanhai came to ask, he would reply to him with this word. I removed your chief of civil affairs, not to kill some people for you, nor to take some land for you. It is the overseers of the provinces, who have greater authority than the governors of the pre-Jin era, and there is no one to check and balance them, and there are already some people who have begun to look down on the supreme officials and despise the authority of the imperial court. Separate the military and the people, just to let them know that this country is powerful, and they still have to obey my orders! ”

He said a little excited, and his tone was a little higher: "You are in Shandong, and there are some things you don't know." The new minister of Fuso, Ri Zhiyi, is a man of considerable ambition who has an eye on our territory. All along, it has been proposed to expand Fuso's interests in China, especially those outside the border. He also showed covetousness for Shandong's rights and interests. Although they defeated Tiele in the battle outside the Guan, they also suffered a lot of losses, so why did they have the courage to fight our idea? It's not because we have no leader now, we don't have a strong government to play a role, and everyone is scattered, so we are looked down upon by foreigners. What the imperial court has to do now is to restore its authority. We are a weak country, and only by combining the strength of the whole country can it be possible to fight against foreigners. Divided like now, how can it be the opponent of foreigners, not at the mercy of others? But if we want to integrate the power of the country, we must return the power to the top, let the president have real power, and the governors of the provinces will unconditionally obey the orders of the president. The separation of military and government is only the first step, and it will be followed step by step in the future. China is like a patient who does not suffer from taking medicine and undergoing surgery, and in the future, he will die. This surgery is the only one I do, even if I can't do it and I'm scolded, I admit it. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "I understand the hard work of the president, and I must be loyal to the president." ”

"You have suffered a loss of being too close to me this time, and if you don't move you, I can't move others. But I, Yuan, am not a heartless person, if you let this step, in the future, I will compensate you. The position of the War Department is reserved for you. In the future, all power will be returned to Zhong Yang, you will be in charge of the War Department, your Mrs. Songjiang will be in charge of the Ministry of Finance, and I will take care of political affairs with peace of mind, what else do we have to fear? ”

When Yuan Weiting said this, he touched his beard with his hand, "Song Dunchu, when they wanted to engage in the cabinet system, they used some parliamentarians who had no experience in governance to slap my elbows, which was a big joke!" What qualifications do a group of people who are sold like piglets have to restrain my behavior? If I am swayed by them, how can I save this country! Those people shouted that they would live in a common people, and that no man or woman could have equal rights. Later, those women who supported Ge Ming's party turned around and supported us, saying that we would make progress compared to Xingzhong, which I think is correct. We are far more advanced than those who are hypocrites. ”

"This is the care of the president, if it weren't for the fact that the president could give Shandong enough authority, there would be no way to push the affairs of female parliamentarians and female soldiers forward."

Yuan Weiting asked: "The matter of female soldiers, can it really be promoted?" When a woman arrives in the barracks, how can her chastity be preserved? If there is a scandal, it will be a shame. ”

"The first stage is to learn to grow hair, men and women are divided into camps, and military law is strictly enforced. The man did not follow the military order, broke into the women's camp and was immediately killed. As for the future, it is always possible to solve things by channeling slowly. At present, female soldiers are only responsible for auxiliary tasks such as transporting supplies and rescuing the wounded, and rarely appear on the frontal battlefield. It is also a good thing that there are fewer men in the ambulance team and multiple fighters on the battlefield. Women's strength is small, but they can choose particularly strong stretchers, which can also be carried on stretchers, and can also be transported with grain and grass. ”

Yuan Weiting listened attentively and couldn't stop nodding, "Your three women's special forces battalions in Shandong are a role model. If it can be done, I will promote it throughout the country, which is a good governance. Let's not talk about these women, and then talk about your bannermen. Since the abdication of the Golden Chamber, some of the banner people have returned to Guanwai, but most of them are in Shandong. Together with the clans of various prefectures, most of them live in seclusion in Shandong, can they still be peaceful? ”

"It's fine. The clans are still waiting to see what the Gonghe Mansion will do, for fear that they will not be cautious enough to do anything, and they will be caught and mishap, so they dare not mess around. Ordinary flag people, Yuqing set up some flag factories, and bought a part of the land as a flag field as their placement. Those uncles have no hardcore crops, and they have to try to survive. Pinching his nose, he made do it, and he could do it well, but there was not much harvest in the field, but fortunately, he didn't collect their rent, plus the flag man fund was there, and a part of the flag man relief office was set up, and Qingdi father and son were the general office of this relief office. will be able to live, and there will be no trouble. ”

"It's good that you can't make a fuss. The Fuso people are now making a fuss about these flag people. Outside the Guan, some secret envoys of the Fusang people came and went frequently, and negotiated with many leading figures in the bannermen, but I was afraid that they did not have any good intentions. Once they provoke any bad thoughts, the world will be another mess. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "If you want to come here, the people of Fusang are not so stupid, right?" That gang of uncles to make a restoration? Even if the Fuso people were really willing to pay for and arm them with guns, they would not be able to pull out the troops. If they had been able to fight, they would not be where they are today. ”

Yuan Weiting has no objection to this, "That's what I said, but I can't be careless, the Fusang people are eyeing our country, and if there is a slight loophole, they will inevitably take the opportunity to make waves." If we talk about the former Jin, our China is a broken house, and after two years of co-operation, I don't think this China can even be regarded as a house. We don't say things that fool people on the scene. If it seems to others, our country is how good it is, but what the actual situation is, everyone knows in their hearts. The people are poor and rich, the government decrees are not implemented, and the taxes collected by the provinces are not as good as half of the pre-Jin era. When Huang Changjie was running disarmament in the south, he was still whimsical: the people of the whole country can get hundreds of trillions of wealth by donating one yuan each, but he doesn't want to think about how this works. I want to set up civil governors in all provinces, and the separation of the military and the people is also because the situation is compelling, and the revenue of the provinces has been in arrears for too long. Military personnel are not good at managing their finances, and if we do not separate the military and civilian administrations, our country's finances will go bankrupt. ”

Although Zhao Guanhou's Shandong was a rich province, because the salt tax revenue was mortgaged as a guarantee for the loan of the Huabi Bank, and the tariffs could not be independent, and it had to raise troops of two divisions and one brigade, as well as local security regiments and other armed forces, the annual expenditure exceeded 10 million yuan. If you don't ask Zhong Yang for money, it's already a blessing, and Yuan Weiting can't open his mouth to talk about it, so he can't talk about it, and he didn't say this to him.

But the voice outside the words can also be heard. The so-called poor financial management in the provinces is better than the local overseers, who hold the army into self-respect, and whose power exceeds that of the former gold. The amount that should be solved was withheld and not paid, resulting in a weaker national strength than in the pre-Jin era. Yuan Weiting abolished the overseer army and set up a civil chief, just like the story of the previous dynasty's cutting of the domain, the original intention was to enhance the national strength and enhance the overall strength of the country.

His explanation also explained to Zhao Guanhou that the intention of cutting the feudal domain was public, not private, and he should not be afraid. Then he explained:

"I respect Confucianism and have a lot of tolerance for Confucianism, but also to give the people a direction. Ge Ming's party likes to talk about opening up the wisdom of the people, and in my opinion, this is an empty word. No matter what, the people of our country do not read after all, and there are many people who do not understand the reason, and very few people who know the truth. Ordinary people, what do they understand? It's nothing more than what the above says, how they do it. When there was an emperor before, the best thing to do was to tell everyone to be loyal to the emperor. People have their own duties, pay taxes and pay food, that is, they are good people of the first class, and people have their own livelihood, and do not go to adultery, which is the happy land of ancient times. But now, the emperor is gone, what should the common people believe? If you don't give them a direction, others will give them direction. It's like when there is a war, there is a piece of high ground, and if we don't occupy it, others will occupy it. If the people are made to believe in the heresy of foreigners, whether it is a foreign religion or a foreign theory, our China will become a country of foreigners. After Ge Ming, he first changed our hair accessories and then changed our clothes, in the future, will we change our thinking! ”

Yuan Weiting pointed to Zhao Guanhou and the dress on his body, "This is a foreigner's clothes, I didn't want to wear them." Dressing is important, whether it is to restore the old clothes of the Han and Tang Dynasties, or to set up another clothing, it is better than wearing the clothes of this foreigner. Wearing the clothes of foreigners and sitting as the president of China, I feel as if I am a puppet in the hands of foreigners. Confucianism is our own Chinese sect and our own ideology. As long as the common people are willing to believe in the learning of the saints and demand themselves according to the teachings of the saints, our country will at least have no internal worries. If the internal troubles are gone, the external troubles will not come. This is like recuperating from a disease, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and the external evil will not invade, how can the foreign enemy hurt us. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said: "I understand the hard work of the president, and the Confucian church is ...... It's a mistake to be humble. ”

Yuan Weiting shook his head generously, "This kind of thing can't be talked about right or wrong." If the things they did and did were sent to me, they would also be signed and shot! Next time, just get the formalities done and don't give people a place to talk. As long as there is one day with me, there is one day with you, our own people, I will always help you, you just need to remember this. ”

Speaking of which, the interim president actually took the initiative to pat Zhao Guanhou on the shoulder, as if the two of them were reluctantly relieved when they returned to the small station to train their troops.

"Guanhou, I can have today, I have a lot of help from you, and in the future, I have to ask you to help me. The president is not a lifelong system, I can't do it for a few years, I should retire to the forest, my son, either crippled, or busy, in short, no one can inherit my inheritance. After I abdicate, this big president, you can come and sit, and let's take care of this country together. ”

Zhao Guanhou hurriedly knelt down and said: "I was born in a gangster, and I can have today, all of them are cultivated by the president, and now there are groups of wives and concubines, and my family is rich, and my life wishes are fulfilled, and I no longer have any thoughts about it." I can't even think of a president like this. Don't be afraid of the president, he is timid and cowardly, and when he thinks of your words, he will be frightened and will not be able to sit steadily. ”

Yuan Weiting smiled and pulled up Zhao Guanhou, "Sit down!" Let your sister see it, and think I'm bullying your brother-in-law. If you can be an Overseer, you can be president, and with my support, there's nothing wrong with that. But...... For now, we have to put our name on the right track first. If the name is not right, it is not good. On my head, the big president, if I can't remove the word temporary, the people below will not obey me. Especially in the southern provinces, the remnants of the Ge Ming Party will still look down on me. In addition, there are some members of the parliament in Kyori who are playing tricks and want to use means to sabotage the election and prevent me from becoming president. Originally, I was not a big deal as president. However, today's China is suffering from internal and external troubles. In the Yankee Civil War, the Taixi countries were involved in their energy and had no time to look eastward, and Fusang took this opportunity to premeditate our territory. If there is no strong man in the country, then our whole China will be swallowed up. In peacetime, I can be the president, but now at this moment, I will not let it go! ”

Zhao Guanhou got up and gave a military salute, "Shandong soldiers, except for the president, no one recognizes it!" You are the president recognized by all the soldiers in Shandong, and everyone else is a chaotic minister and thief, and no one wants to covet the throne. ”

Yuan Weiting pulled Zhao Guanhou to sit down again, and the smile on his face was even brighter, "I know your attitude." However, now that it is a legitimate parliament and a congressional election, the attitude of the military can only be regarded as a reference, and the only thing that can really decide the presidential candidate is the vote. You have more experience than me in the general election, and I want you to help me become the president. (To be continued.) )
