Under Shang Zhen's persecution, Xu Yiqing had no choice but to order the printing of 2 million Jin banknotes, and then handed over to Shang Zhen along with the remaining 500,000 Jin banknotes from Shanxi Provincial Bank.

Then, Xu Yiqing immediately asked people to hang out a sign in front of the provincial bank that the provincial bank's position was tight and that it was temporarily suspended.

Years of experience and his intuition told him that Shang Zhen's doing so was likely to cause big trouble, and as the manager of the provincial bank, he would inevitably bear the brunt of the blame. After thinking anxiously for a long time, he finally called Jia Jiying and asked Jia Jiying to let his family take refuge at Jia Jiying's house for the sake of knowing each other for many years.

Xu Yiqing is very talented, and he is not as jealous and jealous as others, not only repeatedly helped Jia Jiying say good things in front of Yan Xishan, but also partnered with Jia Jiying to start an industry, and the two have always gotten along very well. For Xu Yiqing's request, Jia Jiying naturally couldn't refuse, and agreed at the moment. In order to prevent accidents, Jia Jiying then went to Song Zhewu again, reported the incident, and asked Song Zhewu to send someone to protect him.

Song Zhewu immediately called Ye Changgui and asked him to send people to guard Jia Jiying's house 24 hours a day, to absolutely ensure the safety of the two families. Song Zhewu was very happy about Xu Yiqing's request for help, of course he would not let go of such a good opportunity, and instructed Jia Jiying to "talk to Jia Jiying".

After receiving Jia Jiying's reply, Xu Yiqing breathed a long sigh of relief. But after the two old friends talked heartily, Xu Yiqing felt a little uneasy in his heart. He still has a lot of affection for Yan Xishan, Yan Xishan is not only his niece and son-in-law, but also has always attached great importance to his talents, and it is difficult for him to make up his mind to betray Yan Xishan.

Regarding Jia Jiying's saying that Yan Xishan will definitely go to the field in the near future, Xu Yiqing is very clear, this is not alarmist, after hesitating for a long time, Xu Yiqing gritted his teeth and told Jia Jiying that if Yan Xishan went into the wild, he would help Song Zhewu this time, and before Yan Xishan went into the wild, he would neither help Shang Zhen nor help Song Zhewu.

Then, Xu Yiqing didn't go home, now his home is not safe, after explaining the affairs of the provincial bank, he left the provincial bank, got into the Shanxi provincial political axe, ate and lived there, and refused to come out again.

Shang Zhen, who got 2.5 million jin banknotes as he wished, finally breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, he, the new chairman of Shanxi Province, finally had money in his hands, and finally looked like a real provincial chairman.

Originally, it would be a few days before the salaries of employees at all levels arrived, but Shang Zhen felt that in this extraordinary period, he, the provincial chairman who had just taken office, had to express something, otherwise it would be difficult to gather people's hearts, you know, for more than ten years, the Shanxi Provincial Political Axe has been under the control of Yan Xishan.

Although Shang Zhen was very concerned about the fact that since he returned to Taiyuan, officials at all levels in Shanxi Province had a very bad attitude towards him, but he also knew that these people could not move now, and the gentleman would take revenge, ten years would not be too late, and this would have to wait for him to gain a firm foothold, and then slowly clean up those Yan Xishan's minions who had disobeyed him according to Yan Xishan's "will" and even raised his eyebrows.

For these people, not only can't they be touched now, but even have to find a way to reassure them. Therefore, Shang Zhen ordered Qiu Zengyi, the director of the Department of Finance, to pay double the salaries of all personnel at all levels.

Due to the fact that the Jin banknotes had depreciated significantly at this time, even if the salaries were doubled, the actual Jin banknotes received by these public officials, if converted into silver dollars, would only be equivalent to one-fifth of the previous amount, which was already a great reduction from the Yan Xishan period.

And the most important thing is that even if they get more Jin money, it is useless, because no merchant still collects Jin banknotes, and even hawkers will not collect Jin banknotes, and Jin banknotes are almost waste paper in their hands. Of course, if they are willing to exchange it for Dayang, it is still possible, but in this way, Shang Zhen actually gave them a lot less salary.

Among the public officials, the posts of section chief and above are better, these people have some savings, and they can still insist on saving some money at home, but those low-level employees are not good, and the vast majority of people's families are waiting for these people's salaries to live, and this money is not enough for them to support their families.

As a result, the personnel of various departments found their top bosses one after another, and asked them to respond to Shang Zhen, if they want to use the ocean to pay their salaries, they really need to use Jin banknotes, which must be paid according to the comparison price converted into the ocean, that is, at least ten times the salary.

If Shang Zhen has money in his hands, it's fine, but he doesn't have money, the 2.5 million Jin banknotes, Shang Zhen is ready to use it for a few months, if he agrees to the following requirements, it is not enough to send the 2.5 million Jin banknotes.

asked Xu Yiqing to print Jin banknotes again, this time Xu Yiqing was surprisingly resolute, but he didn't agree to die.

As early as Shang Zhen's formal appointment, Xu Yiqing was anxious to resign to avoid the disaster, but Shang Zhen sternly refused. Xu Yiqing told Shang Zhen that if he was asked to print Jin banknotes again, then he would resign, or Shang Zhen would remove him from his post now.

Regarding Xu Yiqing's resignation, Shang Zhen would never agree. Joke, Xu Yiqing, the "culprit" of the depreciation of the Jin banknotes, wants to resign at this time, because the anger of the people of Shanxi caused by the depreciation of the Jin banknotes is not all sprinkled on him Shang Zhen, Xu Yiqing's shield is absolutely indispensable, seeing Xu Yiqing live in his provincial political axe, Shang Zhen was very happy in private, which saved sending people to watch him.

However, it is not okay not to agree to the requests of these public officials, in case they make a fuss, his position as the newly promoted provincial chairman will not be stable, and it is very likely that Zhang Xueliang will be replaced. Although if he agrees to their request, his 2.5 million will be gone, and he will have to find a way to deal with the administrative expenses next month, but he can't take care of it so much, so let's cross the difficulty in front of him first.

The helpless Shang Zhen gritted his teeth and handed over all the 2.5 million Jin bills he had just received to Qiu Zengyi, asking Qiu Zengyi to pay him ten times his salary immediately.

But what Shang Zhen didn't expect was that a wave had just calmed down, and a wave had just calmed down these administrative staff, and there was another incident on the side of the police department, and the police department refused to receive the salary issued by the provincial political axe, even if it was ten times the face value of the original salary.

As soon as Shang Zhen inquired, he learned that the Fourth Route Army was under military control, and the police were working very hard to maintain law and order with the Fourth Route Army, and their salaries were paid by them, and not only were they paid in vain, but they also raised 10 percent of the original salary.

Originally, someone paid for him Shang Zhen and paid the police, Shang Zhen would be very happy, but the key is that now is not the time, Song Zhewu paid for him Shang Zhen at this time, obviously he had ulterior motives and wanted to cause trouble for Shang Zhen.

Sure enough, looking at the policemen who happily got the ocean, the staff of the other departments immediately blew up, and collectively asked their respective bosses to find Shang Zhen, 'They also want the ocean, not in danger, and will definitely continue to depreciate the Jin banknotes', and some people even shouted that they would not send the ocean, and they supported Song Zhewu to be the chairman of Shanxi Province.

This incident was so angry that Shang Zhen scolded Song Zhewu fiercely in his provincial chairman's office. But scolding and scolding, he has no way at all now, Song Zhewu now not only has heavy troops, but also has strong financial resources. And he is shocking, but now he wants money but no money, and no one wants people.

Several of the directors of the hall are old people during the Yan Xishan period, although they administrative officials do not necessarily follow Yan Xishan, but when Yan Xishan was in power, they didn't take Shang Zhen, the provincial chairman, seriously, and even made Shang Zhen more or less embarrassed, and now they are very worried that Shang Zhen will retaliate against them in the future, if Shang Zhen can't do it in Shanxi, it will be a good thing for them.

Therefore, under the leadership of the director of the administrative department, Xuan Tingyou, these directors collectively came to Shang Zhen to "reflect the public opinion".

Shang Zhen, who was anxious, knew that these people had bad intentions, and he wanted to kick them to death one by one, but he also understood that now was by no means the time for him to be happy and revenge, so Shang Zhen, who was forced to be helpless, had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Xiao Guodong and ask Xiao Guodong to help him exchange his 2.5 million Jin notes for Dayang.

Since Song Zhewu met with him the day after he arrived in Taiyuan, Song Zhewu has never shown up again, and all matters are approached by Song Zhewu's "big housekeeper" Xiao Guodong.

After receiving Shang Zhen's call, in a short period of time, Xiao Guodong called back and agreed to Shang Zhen's request, telling Shang Zhen that he could send someone to take the Jin banknotes to the Northern Investment and Development Bank to exchange them at the market price, and he had already greeted Jia Jiying, so he didn't have to wait in line outside like ordinary people.

Some dizzy Shang Zhen didn't think much about it, and immediately instructed Qiu Zengyi to send someone to the Northern Investment and Development Bank presided over by Jia Jiying to exchange the ocean.

As soon as Qiu Zengyi returned to the office, Kong Wei, who didn't know where he got the news, called and told Qiu Zengyi that the security in the city was not good now, and for the safety of this large sum of money, he had sent a team of mounted guards to escort him.

Although Qiu Zengyi, who is surnamed Gengzhi, knows that it is very inappropriate to do this, he has already agreed to Jia Jiying to work for Song Zhewu, and has asked Shang Zhen to resign, but Shang Zhen refused, but seeing his resolute attitude, Shang Zhen finally agreed to wait for the depreciation of Jin banknotes to pass before agreeing to his resignation.

At this time, it should be said that he is already Song Zhewu's person, and Kong Wei's actual identity is already known to everyone, and now Kong Wei and his police department are only nominally under the jurisdiction of Shang Zhen's provincial political axe. Don't talk about him, even Shang Zhen understands it, because he is already on the same side, he will not debunk Kong Wei's trick no matter what.
