Good times are always short-lived, after the founding ceremony, Wang Lin was not in a hurry to leave Nanjing, according to common sense, the emperor naturally wanted to stay in the capital to work, but Nanjing was only a temporary capital, and finally before the new capital was elected, Wang Lin was still working in Hainan, but the title was replaced by the emperor.

Leaving the parade site, under the escort of many soldiers, Wang Lin and Sun Wen came to the temporary office building of the Central Political Axe, where Wang Lin and Sun Wen stood together, and accepted the photos of reporters with a smile on their faces.

After that, Wang Lin and Sun Wen entered the temporary office building of the Central Political Axe, and the two had a meeting for nearly five hours.

However, judging from the expressions of Wang Lin and Sun Wen later, it seems that both of them are more satisfied with this conversation, at least there is no sad face, but there is a little more worry in Sun Wen's smile.

After talking with Sun Wen, Wang Lin did not stay in Nanjing for another minute, and immediately went straight to Shanghai by water, and then transferred to a battleship to leave Shanghai and return to Hainan. At present, the central political axe offices at all levels of the First Chinese Empire are basically in Hainan, and if they want to completely transfer to the past, it will take half a year to complete them all. Sun Wen became the chairman of the Central Political Axe in Nanjing, which seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, in the future, he is really beautiful, and even Sun Wen himself can't believe that this will be true.

After returning to Hainan, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, the road to be paved in front of him was finally paved with only one step, and the rest was time for onlookers.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" Li Yihe, Minister of Finance, came to Wang Lin's office and shouted the word emperor a little awkwardly.

Although Wang Lin was called the emperor as they expected, but this is really the emperor, but it is difficult to change the title for a while, and Wang Lin is no different from before after being called emperor, and the style of acting and the treatment of subordinates are still business as usual. If it weren't for the heavy name of the emperor pressing heavily on him, he would still be calling Commander-in-Chief Wang Lin now.

"Minister Li, you came just in time, how is our financial situation now?" Wang Lin also has some understanding of the financial situation in his heart, but he still has to ask this professional for this detailed question.

"Our financial situation is very bad, it can be said that it is getting worse and worse, for the personal tax we have not yet begun to collect in any province in the country, and now our financial income is only the shares of those factories, but this is also long-term, only at the end of the year to get the money, in the six months before the end of the year, according to the agreement, we have no right to those factory owners to pay dividends.

With the increase of the territory under our rule, the development of those new provinces is also slowly unfolding, the main money is used in the people's livelihood, for a time our Ministry of Finance expenses are a little difficult to continue to maintain, if it is not for the Hualong Group and the emperor every six months you will come up with a different amount of funds to support our Ministry of Finance, I am afraid that the Ministry of Finance is now an empty shell. ”

Li Yihe was stunned at first, Wang Lin, who has never been short of money to spend, now asked about the financial situation? Is there any big move? At that moment, Li Yihe did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Wang Lin the financial situation that he had only sorted out last month.

Wang Lin knows that the Ministry of Finance has no actual income now, which is why he will take out a part of the funds from Hualong Group and himself every six months to maintain the expenses of the Ministry of Finance. The worst is the Hualong Group, which has a semi-annual financial report, after which it will make a detailed plan based on the income of the six months, in addition to leaving the necessary start-up costs, workers' salaries and funds needed to expand the industry, all the remaining profits will be taken out to help the Ministry of Finance.

Rao is like this, and the situation of the Ministry of Finance is still not very good, and in the end, Wang Lin has to take out about ten tons of gold every six months to support the Ministry of Finance. After so many years, Wang Lin, who could have built a villa with gold, can only think about it now. But fortunately, there are gold mines in Canada that are slowly mining, otherwise Wang Lin would really consider whether to enclose the land again and then sell the oil field.

"At present, how long can the funds of the Ministry of Finance be supported without any outside help?" Wang Lin asked lightly, he needed to know the detailed situation before he could make detailed arrangements.

Li Yihe thought for a while, and replied in an uncertain tone: "A month ago, the Ministry of Finance only received the basic funds allocated by Hualong Group and the emperor for the second half of the year, if calculated according to the current progress, I expect it to only last for three months at most, but this is somewhat unlikely, all localities have just stabilized, and suddenly increased so many political axe organs at all levels, but the salary of this public servant is a big head." In addition, according to the emperor's wishes, the next step is to build four north-south railways in the country, and if it is really to be implemented, it is estimated that the Ministry of Finance will only be able to issue treasury bonds. ”

Wang Lin nodded, his mind was spinning rapidly, the fiscal deficit, and now Wang Lin finally realized the feeling of the fiscal deficit. Before, because the territory was small and the funds in his hands were enough to squander, Wang Lin did not hesitate to order all localities to increase the welfare of the people. With the increase of territory, the funds that were originally more than enough have now had to be distributed equally to all parts of the country.

Although Wang Lin has just injected a large amount of funds into the Ministry of Finance, even so, it is impossible for the Ministry of Finance to rely on these weak funds to support the operation of the whole country. This is also the reason why Wang Lin was anxious to want all countries from all over the world to come to him to buy small beans a few days ago, he needed funds, a lot of money.

At present, Wang Lin took the initiative to give Sun Wen the post of chairman of the Central Political Axe, and gave him all the rights that could be exercised, including the candidates for the formation of a new political axe, the arrangements for the ministers of various departments, etc., and Wang Lin could be said to have handed over all these personnel arrangements to Sun Wen.

Sun Wen, on the other hand, only needs to send a telegram to Wang Lin, handing over the list of ministers of each department to Wang Lin, and Wang Lin can sign his name. The most important reason why Sun Wen was not killed directly at the beginning was that Wang Lin did not want to spend a lot of time to clean up the domestic opposition party when he opened the chariot in the future, and at that time, there was no time for Wang Lin to play, and there was no time for him to play.

At present, when the country was first founded, many things in the country were still unstable, and it was also the time when the central government was most tested, Wang Lin decisively pushed this important task to Sun Wen, don't you want to be the master of the house? Don't you want me to step down and let you do some kind of republic of yours? Yes, I don't have a problem, as long as you can do it well, it doesn't matter if I step down.

When he first talked to Sun Wen, Wang Lin looked obedient and gave all the rights to Sun Wen, in order to let Sun Wen do his best to arrange the members of their alliance to various important positions. As the saying goes, officials are high, and at present, the salaries of these political cadres trained by the Hainan Political Axe Management Department are already very high, and the cadres at the ministerial level are even more frightening. Sun Wen promoted so many high-ranking officials all of a sudden, how could the money he gave be on par with what Wang Lin gave, right? Otherwise, the alliance will be in chaos first.

At that time, although Wang Lin could also use this reason to oust Sun Wen from power in one fell swoop, Wang Lin did not want Sun Wen to step down in this way, because this was not his original plan and it was not in his own interests.

"Hualong Group and I have detailed handover records of the funds given to the Ministry of Finance every six months, right?" Wang Lin continued to speak.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yihe nodded, every time he received assistance from Hualong Group and Wang Lin, the Ministry of Finance did have detailed records, and the best way to make sure that the source of each fund was clear and clear, and it was always useful to record it.

"Well, I will release the news that Hualong Group has encountered the problem of disconnection of funds and is about to face bankruptcy. After you go back, return all the funds of the Ministry of Finance to Hualong Group, stop all the projects under construction, recover all the funds that have been issued before and have not been used, even if there is still one dollar left, you must completely recover them, and then return all the funds to Hualong Group, and make detailed accounts, so that the Ministry of Finance can repay the loan of 1 million Chinese dollars to Hualong Group every month until the loan is paid off. After that, the Ministry of Finance was handed over to the central government. Wang Lin smiled a little sinisterly.

The right, I gave it to you, all the government agencies, I also gave it to you, but now there are some problems in the capital chain of Hualong Group, as a political axe organization, borrowing people's money, when people are in trouble, you can't not pay it back at all, right? This is Wang Lin's first move after Sun Wen took office, first take time out of finances, not to mention how to develop the people's livelihood economy or anything, as long as you can take care of the internal alliance, even if you have the ability.

And of course, to fundraise? As the chairman of the central political axe of a country, if you want to raise money or borrow money from the foreign powers, you must sell some national interests, as for the issuance of government bonds? Without Wang Lin's consent, how could Huaxia Bank accept Sun Wen's order to issue treasury bonds?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go back and do this." Li Yihe nodded, as the Minister of Finance, Wang Lin has already said this step, he can naturally guess what Wang Lin is going to do next, of course, he is also happy to Wang Lin to do this, as an old man who has worked hard with Wang Lin, how can he be willing to give his decades of hard work to others to make wedding dresses?

After Li Yihe left, Wang Lin stayed alone in the office, and the Ministry of Finance was emptied, which was equivalent to draining Sun Wen's last trace of strength, no money is equivalent to nothing, and Sun Wen in history seems to have been worried about money for most of his life.

"No money is equal to no popularity, see how long you can be the chairman of the Central Committee?"
