In the end, Shang Zhen said with some disdain, "Yan Xishan has printed and distributed a total of 148 million Jin banknotes in the past few years, and at this time when people are panicking, if they want to restore the value of Jin banknotes, there is only one way, and that is to make up 145 million oceans to the provincial bank and let people exchange them." ’

And such a large sum of money is not only impossible for him, the provincial chairman who is so poor that only the provincial political axe building remains, but also Zhang Xueliang, who is rich in the northeast, and even Chairman Jiang of the Nanjing Central Political Axe. If anyone regrets this, let him be the chairman of the province. ’

Shang Zhen's words were telling the people who marched and petitioned that if they wanted to restore the value of the Jin banknotes, they should not even think about it, no one could do it, no one could get the surplus of 145 million, not to mention Shanxi in these years, even the central government axe was not rich.

Of course, Shang Zhen's last sentence was for Song Zhewu, and the meaning of the words was, "If you are ashamed to say cool things, the chairman of this province will give it to you, and let these people find you Song Zhewu." ”

After saying this, Shang Zhen turned around and walked back to the courtyard of the provincial political axe, ignoring the people who were marching and petitioning.

Shang Zhen's words and actions made people somewhat understand in the first paragraph, but the latter paragraph not only shocked the people participating in the march, but also made them extremely angry.

Shang Zhen, the new provincial chairman, has no money, which everyone basically knows, and many people still understand this. As for Yan Xishan's taking away a huge amount of money from the Shanxi Provincial Bank, it was finally confirmed by Shang Zhen today, which shocked some people who were originally suspicious, and Yan Xishan's image plummeted in their minds.

What made them feel extremely angry was not only that they were angry that Yan Xishan took the money that originally belonged to them, but also because Shang Zhen, the chairman of Shanxi Province, blindly shirked his responsibilities and was not only helpless against the depreciation of the Jin banknotes, but could be said to be indifferent.

The news in the newspaper about Wang Xinggang's vague mention that Song Zhewu is likely to have a way to solve the Jin banknote problem has long been discussed in the streets and alleys, but Shang Zhen not only did not take the initiative to discuss the solution with Song Zhewu, but even alluded to Song Zhewu saying cool things, which made them unacceptable anyway, and what made them feel most angry was Shang Zhen's attitude of throwing his hands and leaving.

After a moment of silence, the surging crowd erupted in angry scolding, some cursing Yan Xishan loudly, some cursing Shang Zhen, and even those who cursed Shang Zhen gradually accounted for the majority. So much so that a few of the dozen county mayors were short-tempered, and they also cursed loudly for Shang Zhen, their top boss.

The reason why they are like this is because they think that if Yan Xishan is still in Shanxi, they believe that Yan Xishan will definitely think of some way to solve the problem of the depreciation of Jin banknotes, and it will never be like Shang Zhen who has no way at all, and it is even more impossible to be like an outsider without asking.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "We don't want Shang Zhen to be the provincial chairman of the corpse vegetarian meal, whoever can restore the original value of the Jin banknote, we will support whoever is the chairman of this province." ”

This shout immediately won the loud applause of the crowd, "Yes, Shang Zhen stepped down, and we welcome General Song Zhewu as the chairman of Shanxi Province." ”

The shouts of more than 100,000 people were so loud that almost the entire Taiyuan City could hear them.

A tall male student with glasses who looked like a student leader walked up the steps in a few steps, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Students, citizens, since Shang Zhen is the same as Yan Xishan, regardless of the life or death of our Shanxi people, then we don't want such a provincial chairman, let's go to General Song Zhewu, as long as he can help our Shanxi people solve the problem of the depreciation of the Jin banknote, we will support him to be our Shanxi provincial chairman, right?" ”

"Yes, let's go find General Song." The crowd shouted in response.

Xu Yiqing, who had been hiding behind Kong Wei, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said in his heart: "This young man is not simple, he didn't have the time to ask about the 1 million he distributed, but firmly grasped the key issue of solving the depreciation of Jin banknotes. ”

Before the crowd of marchers could move, Zhao Pilian, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd under the escort of several capable young men in civilian clothes, hurried up the steps, took the tin horn handed over by Kong Wei, and said breathlessly: "Students, citizens, please listen to me. ”

Zhao Pilian is not only a celebrity in Taiyuan, but also in Shanxi, he is especially influential in Shanxi's education circles, and he has now joined the Fourth Route Army system, and everyone knows that as soon as he appeared, a large number of students in the crowd cheered.

Zhao Pilian tried hard to catch his breath, wiped the sweat on his head, and said loudly: "Students, citizens, I, Zhao Pilian, was born and grew up in Shanxi, Shanxi is my Zhao Pilian's home, no matter where I am, my heart will be thinking about Shanxi, do you all believe this?" ”

Zhao Pilian suddenly came to the provincial political axe, he would never come to this troubled water casually, he must have some mission, or some way, people shouted loudly in anticipation: "Believe, we believe in Mr. Zhao, if you have anything to say, please Mr. Zhao say it quickly." ”

Zhao Pilian straightened his clothes and said loudly: "The depreciation of the Jin banknote is drastic, and the savings of Shanxi's fathers and elders for many years have been wasted, and I, Zhao Pilian, see it in my eyes and cry in my heart!" ”

"Yes, the culprit of the depreciation of the Jin banknote is indeed Yan Xishan, Yan Xishan not only brought us Shanxi people great suffering, but even when he was in the wilderness, he unceremoniously stole a large amount of our Shanxi people's hard-earned money, and went to Dalian in the northeast to enjoy himself, we Shanxi people will never forgive Yan Xishan, and Yan Xishan will inevitably be despised by our Shanxi people."

Zhao Pilian changed his words, and then continued to say loudly: "Although Yan Xishan is heinous, he has abandoned all of us Shanxi people and left, and we Shanxi people who have suffered can only rely on the Shanxi Provincial Political Axe now. However, now the new chairman of Shanxi Provincial Commerce, completely ignoring the suffering of our Shanxi people, and simply putting the blame for the depreciation of the Jin banknote on Yan Xishan, and not thinking of any way to solve the problem. ”

At the instigation of Zhao Pilian, the crowd of marchers shouted angrily and loudly: "No, no. ”

Zhao Pilian saw that his incitement had achieved the effect he needed, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Pilian quickly put away his smile, and continued to say loudly with anger on his face: "This classmate said well, whoever can help our Shanxi people restore the value of the Jin banknote, we want whoever will be the chairman of this province, this is a good thing, whoever can help us Shanxi people, we will support whoever is the chairman of this province, no matter where he is from." ”

"Yes, we want General Song Zhewu to be the chairman of Shanxi Province."

Zhao Pilian waved his hand, stopped everyone's cries and said: "General Song Zhewu doesn't care whether he is the chairman of this province or not, what he cares about is to help our Shanxi fathers restore the value of the Jin banknotes. I can responsibly tell you that the Northern Investment and Development Bank is very strong, and if they are willing to help, the Jin banknote will definitely recover its original value soon. ”

"Good!" The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Zhao Pilian sighed loudly and said: "However, as everyone knows, the Northern Investment and Development Bank is a foreign-funded joint venture bank, and its operation is very standardized, and with such a huge amount of capital, without the consent and authorization of the majority of shareholders, the bank manager Jia Junchen will not dare to take any action, even General Song Zhewu, who has a large share. ”

"As far as I know, General Song Zhewu has communicated with foreign shareholders many times, and the foreign shareholders have now basically agreed with General Song Zhewu's intentions and are ready to help us restore the value of the Jin banknote in Shanxi."

"Good!"

The surging crowd erupted in a tsunami-like cheer again.

"However, they put forward a condition that made General Song Zhewu very embarrassed......

Speaking of this, Zhao Pilian deliberately bought a big pass and stopped talking.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhiqing, please tell me quickly, what conditions did they put forward? As long as the value of the Jin banknote can be restored, we will agree to any conditions. ”

The dense crowd let out a tight and anxious urging.

Zhao Pilian deliberately pondered for a while, and then said loudly: "Although the Northern Investment and Development Bank is willing to help our Shanxi fathers and elders relieve their difficulties in the face of General Song Zhewu, they are private banks after all, and the shareholders are very worried about the loss of their property. ”

It was just such a simple condition that made the crowd of marchers and petitioners very happy, and the dense crowd once again erupted in excited cheers.

Zhao Pilian paused and said in a tone full of regret: "However, the foreign shareholders only believe in the Shanxi Provincial Political Axe with General Song Zhewu as the chairman, and they do not believe in the promises and guarantees of anyone else, so they cannot save the Jin banknote for the time being." ”

The excited crowd was stunned by Zhao Pilian's sudden "basin of cold water", and the hope that had just risen in their hearts fell to the bottom in an instant.

In the astonished silence, Zhao Pilian said slowly: "I can also tell you that General Song Zhewu could not bear the heavy burden of interest on the shoulders of the people of Shanxi, and he has promised that if the central government appoints him as chairman of Shanxi Province, all the interest incurred during this period will be repaid by him with his private property. ”

"Good!" The boiling crowd erupted in a tsunami-like cheer again.

"We support General Song Zhewu as the chairman of Shanxi Province!"
