Chapter 279: Passing through the Northeast (4)

This is an anonymous report letter, listing Zhang Jian's three major crimes, with more than 50 minor crimes. The first major crime is to abuse power to open the door to the Zhang family's enterprises, and in the financial field, to raise tens of millions of dollars for the Zhang family's enterprises. In terms of taxation, they took advantage of the loopholes of the state law to transform some old enterprises into new enterprises, defrauded the state of the tax exemption policy, and exempted more than 5 million yuan for the Zhang enterprises. The second major crime is to connive at family members to bring disaster to the township, strictly violating the laws of the Republic of China, going on a blind date, and robbing other people's real estate. Since Zhang Jian entered the cabinet, the children of his family members have colluded with local officials to wantonly annex land, and the land under Zhang's name is as much as 500,000 mu, making him the largest landowner in Jiangsu today. The Zhang family collected as much as 70% of the rent from the tenants, regardless of the life or death of the tenants. The third major crime, forming a party for personal gain, serving the former Qing Dynasty for the cabinet ministers of the Republic of China, his comrade Lu Runyang was loyal to the Qing court to death, and when he died in 15 years, he was named the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Jian himself was the leader of the constitutionalist faction, advocating a constitutional monarchy, and the crime was extremely evil. There are even more other minor crimes, and according to the content of this report letter, Zhang Jian is enough to be shot a hundred times.

Back at his apartment in Beijing, Zhang Jian carefully read the report letters again, and finally looked at Fang Jianxiong's criticism: "The so-called three major crimes are mostly fabricated, and they are not credible. Only in relation to the section of the Tenancy Act may be possible. Ji Lao is highly respected, and he will not ruin the evening festival because of small profits in the short term, and I am afraid that Ji Lao may not know about this matter. ”

There must be something to say about this matter in front of Zhang Jian in this way. According to Fang Dashuai's way, it was definitely not what he meant, it should be some old treacherous and cunning person who was teaching Fang Dashuai to do this. Otherwise, the person who invited Zhang Jian to drink tea today should be someone from the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Zhang Jian's cabinet represented not only the interests of the traditional constitutionalists, but also the interests of the local gentry in Jiangsu, as well as the interests of the industrial and commercial circles in Jiangsu. If there is no change in the history of the Republic of China. There will be a huge interest group in modern history such as the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums. At this stage of this time and space, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium was actually dismembered into many pieces. Among them, the most powerful are Song Hanzhang, Yu Qiaqing, Sheng Xuanhuai, and a group of people who are attached to the Eurasian Group, but these people are different, and their positions and interests are different.

Fang Jianxiong is the expansion of the Eurasian group, slowly priing open this group, and gradually dividing these interest groups. What is now in front of Fang Jianxiong is the traditional Jiangsu gentleman interest group represented by Zhang Jian, what should I do? It is to use coercive means to knock them over with a rod. Or is it a peaceful solution to the problem?

Fang Jianxiong was distressed for a long time, if he took thunderous measures to sweep away Jiangsu's traditional forces, the resulting aftermath would inevitably be a huge blow to Jiangsu's industry and commerce. To do so is to turn back the clock of history. Obviously, the existing industrial and commercial workers in China are mainly these knowledgeable and powerful gentry, who control the vast distribution channels of villages and towns.

Strong means are unrealistic, so the remaining means are simple, restrict, suppress, differentiate, and come up with a set of combination punches. Now is the first step, throwing stones and asking for directions. Take a look at Zhang Jian's reaction. If he can conform to Fang Dashuai's wishes, then use a slow move. Taking Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a breakthrough, starting with Zhang Jian and Tang Shou, the "Tenant Act" was put in place in a real sense. The issue of immigration to the Northeast can also be naturally complied with by Zhang and Tang.

Zhang Jian was bored at home for a day, claiming to be sick and didn't even go to work. Tang Shouqian, a fellow friend of the constitutionalist faction, came to the door at night.

Tang Shouqian, the vice minister of the Ministry of Communications, can be described as the hottest lord today. Newly introduced local road tolls. You must pass him, and then ask Zhan Tianyou to use the seal. That's it. Zhan Tianyou is a kind person, his mind is on the railway, and he is old again, and the main things of the Ministry of Communications are Tang Shouqian's management. Another vice minister, Yu Youren, is also not very in charge of affairs, so it is not that he does not want to take care of it, but the problem is that he is from the Democratic Party, and it is natural for him to be excluded from the cabinet. This Yu Youren's favorite thing to do is to go around inspecting traffic and municipal construction, and then give people inscriptions.

Following this Tang Shou into Zhang's Mansion was Xiong Xiling, the deputy minister of the Ministry of the Interior, who was also a Jinshi and a Jishi of the Hanlin Academy. In the former Qing Dynasty, his political future was still very bright, and during Yuan Shikai's reign, he was also doing well. Xiong Xiling is also the main figure of the constitutionalists, and several former Qing Dynasty Jinshi masters can naturally get closer to the cabinet.

Zhang Jian's study was brightly lit, incandescent light bulbs replaced candles, and the three cabinet ministers and deputy ministers didn't say much, staring at the black material on the table. This time it's Zhang Jian's, what about next time? These ministers are relatively powerful ministers in the cabinet, and they are naturally unwilling to lose their political future, and the current Republic of China is in a period of rapid rise, and they only leave the political arena when their brains are broken.

"Brother Sting, I'm afraid you and I will bear the brunt of this matter." Zhang Jian still spoke first, breaking the silence. Now this cabinet, speaking of factions, the three-person alliance is also a big force, and the reality forces them to unite.

"Well, this matter needs to be cautious, let me consider a thing or two." Tang Shouqian didn't answer this, he kept thinking about Fang Jianxiong's true intentions in his mind. In today's cabinet, Tang Shouqian's judgment comes from Sun Baoqi's handwriting. Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve that the interests of all parties have been taken care of to a certain extent, and this time the incident is obviously from the hands of a scheming person. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult, it's a difficult multiple-choice question.

Xiong Xiling has not spoken, among these three, historically, he is the most successful and persistent, and he has been the prime minister of the cabinet. Well, it's not simply a character.

When Zhang Jian's eyes came, Xiong Xiling coughed and said, "This matter is not a big trouble, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here and talking." Where can Fang Fuguo's eyes rub sand? What a character Yuan Shikai is, they are all planted in his hands. The words were very interesting, and when the other two were more focused, Xiong Xiling continued: "This matter is actually very easy to deal with, as long as you grasp two points. First, the issue of immigration from the Northeast is firmly supported when discussed at the Cabinet meeting, and when the Diet deliberates, the United Party MPs must not have any counter-arguments. Second, things at home should also be sorted out, nothing else is fine, it is this "Tenant Act", which must not be touched. As for outsiders, just leave it alone, make a gesture so that others can see it, and it is best to make a storm in the newspaper. ”

"Bingsan, it seems that there is still no end to the words!" Tang Shouqian's expression was much more relaxed, his thinking was also active, and he took over with a smile. Xiong Xiling laughed dryly and said: "Old Ji, brother sting, everyone understands people, why pretend to be confused?" ”

Zhang Jian nodded and said, "It's time to make up your mind, otherwise this knife is on your neck, and it will be too late to make a move." ”

When the three of them were partying, Fang Jianxiong's study was also plotting, Sun Baoqi and Tang Hualong were there, and there was also Gu Weijun who was listening. Sun Baoqi attaches great importance to this young man, and he takes it with him wherever he goes. Gu Weijun is good-looking and has enough skills, and he has always been a good candidate for a son-in-law in the eyes of women. Let's take the current lady surnamed Tang as an example, that is the daughter of former Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, who must add Gu Weijun to the death, otherwise she will go to the monk's house, and she will go to Bada Hutong to be a red sister. The funny thing is that the father and daughter were in the same place on the same day, and they did a happy event one after another. It can be regarded as a major anecdote of the Republic of China.

A young talent like Gu Weijun is destined to shine wherever he goes, just like fireflies in the night. But today it is different, because he is facing not only Sun Baoqi, who appreciates him, but also Fang Jianxiong, the first person in the country, and Tang Hualong, the prime minister of the cabinet.

Judging from his personal qualifications and political status development curve, Tang Hualong was really lucky and caught up with Fang Dashuai to send troops to Wuhan. Only then did he catch the line, and since then he has soared to the prime minister. The key is that he, the prime minister, has real power, and Sun Baoqi's focus is still on party affairs, and at the same time he is a symbol of the country.

"Supporting the country, such a big expense, this is Zhang Jizhi's life." When Sun Baoqi spoke, his brows tightened. Fang Jianxiong didn't tell them about the immigration in the Northeast in advance, but now that he said it, Sun Baoqi certainly had a headache.

Tang Hualong was silent on the side, and waited patiently for Fang Jianxiong's next step. Fang Jianxiong smiled and took out a plan, handed it to the two of them, and said, "Look at this." Tang Hualong hesitated, took it, read it one by one, handed it to Gu Weijun, and Sun Baoqi took it and looked at it. The two watched it for ten minutes or so, and they finished watching it.

"The issuance of this bond is in Shanghai, which is a good choice. The cabinet deliberated, and if it was tightened, it could come up with fifty or sixty million. Tang Hualong immediately said that he was worried that all the money would go from the treasury, which would be really fatal.

Fang Jianxiong glanced at Gu Weijun and said, "Shaochuan, you also talk about this matter." ”

Gu Weijun hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "The annual interest rate of this public bond is only five percent, I am afraid it is difficult to be accepted by the people." ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled and didn't say anything, and said to Tang Hualong: "Brother Jiwu, at the cabinet meeting, you come to mention this matter." The Northeast has coal and iron, is rich in soybeans, and can also grow high-quality rice. The issue of people's livelihood is the key to whether the country is stable or not, and it directly affects whether the whole country can concentrate its efforts to develop heavy industry. Turning the Northeast into a big granary will make great contributions to the stability and prosperity of the country. ”

The matter in the northeast was thus decided, Fang Jianxiong reversed his attention slightly, and the two armies were advancing towards the set goal. The disadvantage of sending troops during this season is that the weather brings a lot of difficulties, and the advantage is that it can be taken by surprise, and at the same time, it also allows soldiers to try to fight in bad weather conditions. For Fang Jianxiong, 1917 was a good year, and many things had to be done quickly, and he should not leave his hands in the future.
