The headquarters of the Huade Group in Canada, after Richard returned to Canada, immediately began to arrange various affairs. The focus of the future is not Canada, but the United States.

According to Wang Lin's arrangement, the main target of Huade Group is the countries of the Americas, and the focus of Warner Group is Europe. As for other countries, Wang Lin has other arrangements, and will set up a new company in the near future, which will be mainly responsible for the offensive of other impoverished areas, of course, mainly in light industry.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the end of 1904, and according to the previous agreement with various merchants, Wang Lin was to recover part of the dividends at the end of the year. However, due to the fact that many factories are still in the trial operation stage, they are not yet able to pay the dividends agreed by Wang Lin, and Wang Lin is not in a hurry to use these funds for a while, so he decided to cancel this year's dividends for factories that have been established within half a year, and accumulate the amount of dividends this year to the end of next year.

Although Wang Lin's move was very popular with those factory owners, it also made the Ministry of Finance under Wang Lin anxious. Now that the state has just been established, many tax collection projects have not yet been implemented, and the financial aspect is also closely supported by loans from Hualong Group and Wang Lin's free aid.

Now that the domestic development has reached the most difficult stage, it just so happens that the Ministry of Finance is facing the danger of breaking the chain of funds, for a while, the Minister of Finance Li Yihe faced a pair of hands waiting for money below, and he was even more anxious to run to Wang Lin's office every day to complain.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance really can't hold on, and now countless people are reporting the money they need every day, and each of them is very important and has to be done. Now that the Ministry of Finance has basically been evacuated, if it does not inject funds, I am afraid that the Ministry of Finance will not survive for a month. Li Yihe stood in front of Wang Lin and complained.

The Ministry of Finance is short of money, so it should first find the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then the Prime Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and the Minister of Finance will meet the emperor together, but now Li Ping is also troubled by the matter of funds, and even the salaries of political axe personnel are almost not paid, let alone the benefits at the end of the year.

Wang Lin is also a little anxious, seeing that he has changed from a rich man to a begging for food, vigorously developing in the whole country, and some projects have even just started, if they stop at this time, it not only means that all the previous investment is burned, and it is even possible to make his entire plan a dream, a dream that can never be realized.

At this time, the people below are in a hurry, Wang Lin is even more anxious, his small treasury has now been almost exhausted, and some of the remaining funds are what he intends to keep until the future to engage in new projects, after all, in Wang Lin's plan, all the expenses of the royal family in the future do not need to be paid from the treasury, the royal family has its own property, that is to say, all the expenses of the royal family can only be solved by the royal family itself.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so let's stop all the projects below and let the employees go home for a good year, so that we can have more time to find funds." Wang Lin said lightly.

Over the years, only Wang Lin himself has taken out the funds to subsidize the state is not less than eight figures, of course, most of them are subsidized in gold, and now Wang Lin does not have too much idle funds in his hands, so he can only drag it back first, and then find a way to do it next year.

"But it's not a good idea to drag it out like this, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. Your Majesty, I don't know whether to say something or not? Li Yihe said boldly, saying these words in front of the emperor, one will be dismissed if he is not careful, although Wang Lin is not the kind of person who can't listen to advice, but as long as he is a person, he will have words that he doesn't like to hear, and it is not a good thing if he provokes the anger of the saint.

"Tell me, there's nothing to say in front of me." Wang Lin nodded, he didn't know what Li Yihe would do to solve the current financial crisis, he could only know after hearing about it.

"Your Majesty, if we want to solve the recent financial crisis, we have three methods at our disposal, first, issue treasury bonds, and issue treasury bonds during the end of the year, so that many people will buy them, so that we can solve the current fiscal crisis. Second, use the credit method, pick up the goods first and pay later, so as to delay the time, and when we have money, we will pay the merchant together. Third, we sell arms to foreign countries, because at present our arms are still very popular in the world, especially Chinese warships and tanks, and if we want to sell them abroad, I believe that they can be sold at a good price. Li Yihe said with some horror, although his three methods seem to be very practical, they are no different from Sun Wen's approach at the beginning, the only difference is that they are not selling equipment from active troops.

Listening to Li Yihe's three methods, Wang Lin secretly commented in his heart, although these methods are feasible, but they cannot be used, the issuance of treasury bonds, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is still too early, first, the people do not have too much money in their hands to buy treasury bonds, second, most of the businessmen's funds are used to build factories, where is there any spare funds to buy treasury bonds? As for the arms business, it is not impossible, and Wang Lin is also planning large-scale arms sales to foreign countries.

It's just that there must be a limit to this arms sales, and you can't be desperate for the sake of making money, at least you must take into account the balance between countries, although Wang Lin is also eager for the arrival of war at present, because only war can bring Wang Lin huge wealth, but the current domestic situation is not suitable for participating in the war.

Excessive arms trafficking will only speed up the outbreak of World War I, and according to Wang Lin's prediction, the outbreak of World War I within five years will not be beneficial to China.

Thinking of this, Wang Lin can also understand why country M continues to provide weapons and equipment to TW in the future, between countries, there is only the most direct interest relationship, once there is no common interest between the two sides, then the two sides will gradually break up. Today, although China's status is not as good as that of the United States in later generations and not as good as that of Britain now, Wang Lin wants to consider the current situation of the world in the future with the status of the United States in the future.

"The issuance of treasury bonds and credit is absolutely not good, that is not conducive to our strategic development, you go back and drag it out first, as long as you can drag it out until April, it will be easy to say anything." Wang Lin thought about it and returned.

In April, in fact, it is not very far, and now it is February, and it has dragged on for more than a month, as long as you save a little use, it is not impossible. Since the emperor had spoken, Li Yihe naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he had to reply again and again: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing Li Yihe's emaciated body slowly leaving the office, Wang Lin suddenly felt a burst of guilt in his heart, it was his too unrestrained **, which caused so many people below to run back and forth all day, and sometimes they were even too busy to even take care of eating, and lack of sleep was even more common.

But if Wang Lin doesn't do this, what can he do? Now is a great time for the development of the country, while the First World War has not yet begun, the Western powers will enter a frenzied military race in a few years, and only by taking advantage of this time to seize time to develop, can we achieve the greatest benefits in the future wars.

In my previous life, I didn't have this opportunity, but now that I have come here, and I have the ability to do this, why do I have such a good opportunity and don't know how to take advantage of it? No matter how difficult it is, we must continue step by step until China becomes the world's largest power.

But now Wang Lin is limited by funds, as the saying goes, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, Wang Lin's past life and present life, but also more than once experienced this feeling, to be honest, Wang Lin at this time think about it and feel funny, he had gold and silver at the beginning, but now he is empty-handed, except for a small vault with a little gold left, there is no other wealth.

The things that are currently being planned are all long-term plans, and it is impossible to have income in the next few months, in Wang Lin's heart, as long as it can be delayed for these few months, it will be easy to say anything in the future.

Penicillin, on the other hand, has also reached the trial production stage, and in a few days the first batch of drugs will be completed, and it will only need to be packaged and immediately sent to the world for sale. At that moment, Wang Lin no longer hesitated to do anything, and had already decided in his heart that after the first batch of trial production of penicillin was completed, it would be sent to Britain and the United States for sale. Although the windfall income from this batch of drugs is still not enough to support the development of this country, it is better than nothing.

As for the arms, it really stumped Wang Lin, and now he wants to sell arms frantically to make up for his lack of funds, but the question is who to sell to? German? It's okay to sell them small beans, but if it's a rifle, it's too reluctant. However, there is another advantage of selling to the Germans, as long as the Germans buy something, the British and French will definitely follow.

You can even piggyback on it so that Austria-Hungary can buy some, and in short, the European line seems to be good. But Wang Lin was not willing to sell only small bean dices, and he still hoped that the infantry equipment could be sold well. Now the inventory of the Chinese style can be said to have reached an astonishing level, and even Wang Lin didn't know what happened to him at the beginning, so he ordered the arsenal to produce the Chinese style without night and night.

In addition to equipping each soldier in the active army with a rifle and then preparing a rifle, a number of Chinese models were also pre-produced. It was only with the commissioning of the Chunghua Type II rifle a few months ago that the production of the Chung Hwa Type 1 was stopped. It's just that if you want to replace all the troops with the Zhonghua II type now, I'm afraid that it won't be completed at all in two years.

But who should this rifle be sold to? Suddenly, Wang Lin's mind was bright, and he said secretly: "There is!" ”
