In view of the disturbance of the soldiers, Cao Kun and the others showed unhappy looks on their faces, for such an important meeting, could there be any report that could not be reported after the meeting?

However, what was completely different from the others was that Qin Yu stood up from his position, raised his eyebrows and asked, "But there are preliminary results in the customs matter?" ”

"Sir, as the plenipotentiary representative, General Chen has concluded a new Sino-US tariff treaty with the United States. In addition, the British Minister has made it clear that he will discuss with Chief Chen the specific matters of the new Sino-British tariff treaty within three days. The soldier said loudly.

"What?" Lan Tianwei, Yan Xishan and a few others who knew the meaning of this new testament all stood up with discoloration.

"Haha...."Qin Yu laughed loudly, "Damn, there have been troubles one after another during this time, and I am finally going to get out, what are you doing in a daze, take the telegram over, and Lao Tzu will see what it is." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

"Forget it, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy, Brother Ji Hao, it's better for you to read it." Qin Yu just pinched the telegram, and the other Yan Xishan and the others had already stretched their necks and glanced at it, Qin Yu smiled dumbly and handed the telegram to Lan Tianwei's hand.

Lan Tianwei calmed down the excitement in her heart and tried to read out the content in a steady tone as much as possible, but the slightly trembling voice showed that her heart was not calm at this time.

"Having lost the sovereignty of the customs for more than 60 years, and now the recovery is imminent, such a feat is unprecedented in China in the past 100 years. After Yan Xishan's initial shock, his face was also full of joy, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then said with a straight face. "In this conflict with Japan, the whole of Shanxi will be the leader of the rain and the horses, and whether it is war or peace, it will all depend on the decision of the central government, and all the Jin troops will obey the orders of the central government."

"The Republic of China is a mess. really made Yu Shuai stiff and gave him a future. The beard on Liu Guanxiong's lips trembled slightly, as a naval admiral, he knows better than anyone the meaning of tariff autonomy, and the Beiyang Fleet is almost pulled up by Guan Yu. The navy also obeyed the dispatch of the central government, and even if it was defeated by the Japanese invaders, it would not hesitate to fight to the death. ”

Wang Zhanyuan and Cao Kun glanced at each other. They also nodded.

"In fact, having done so much, it is nothing more than thinking that the Japanese will let go, and now that Britain and the United States have left Japan one after another, and several other Western powers will soon loosen their mouths, it is better not to fight this war. Do you think I'm full of food and have nothing to do, and I'm going to hit my head with the Japanese? One cry, two troubles, three hangings, and if it doesn't work, start fighting. In short, who wants to move the ocean in the central pocket. That had to be done, Britain and the United States left Japan to sign a new tariff treaty with the Republic of China first. Their attitude is already obvious. Qin Yu sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

The people present all smiled when they heard Qin Yu's words, Qin Yu said good things to foreigners, slapped the table with foreigners, and quarreled with the Japanese to fight, but that's not what he did, at this time, several people admired this youngest guy a little. The central government, which was already in tatters, actually had a new situation under the hard work of Qin Yu, the desperate Saburo.

"As long as we can withstand the Japanese three-plate axe. Life will be better, if Yu Shuai can play another Bo Li Lai, the Japanese will have to lose face. Cao Kun smiled and said, although he was proud of his age in public, he would not take his identity in front of Qin Yu.

"The Northeast Army can still fight. In the future, whether it is the Northeast Army, the Zhili Army, or the Jin Army, or the Hubei Army, they are all the Central Army, and the disaster of the Republic of China lies in the inability to unite as one, otherwise how can there be anything to do with Little Japan? Recovering the rights and interests of the country is not something I can do alone, without the support of all the brothers here, it is not interesting to stare at this one-third of an acre of land in Guannai, and there is a lot of money outside, we can send it abroad. Yan Shichao drove away the White Russians in Tangnu Wulianghai, and Lao Maozi had been mining gold there for several years. There is also a large coal mine on the Kulun side, and there are also a lot of gold mines in Outer Mongolia, and the army will stop there. Even if you have to pay some taxes to the central government, isn't there still a big profit in it? If you or your nephews are interested, you can get together in the company established by President Tian, so many interests are in it, someone must take it, and the fertilizer does not flow to outsiders, isn't it? ”

Qin Yu was also in a good mood at this time, Tian Helin had been pushed to the position of chief financial officer by him at this time, and when he was familiar with the business, it was logical to become the prime minister again.

"Is Yu Shuai serious?" When Wang Zhanyuan heard about this fortune, he immediately became interested, and Cao Kun's eyes lit up.

"Naturally, I took it seriously, and when I said it, I naturally took the lead. The problem of earning more and earning less is much better than guarding the few acres and three points of land at home, and the reserves of tens of billions of tons in the coal mine in Outer Mongolia. According to the current progress, I am afraid that there will be more than tens of hundreds of years of mining, which is a matter of blessing for several generations. ”

Qin Yu smiled slightly, oppressing Wang Zhanyuan, Cao Kun and others to send troops, forcing these people to hand over their military power will also have to pay a price, if these people are uncomfortable, casually create some trouble in the local area, it is enough for Qin Yu to have a headache, local affairs are far from being solved by a single order from the central government, the officialdom of the Republic of China is dark, and there are too many unspoken rules outside the law. Moreover, Qin Yu also wants to guide these people to invest funds in the development of Outer Mongolia and the development of the Russian Far East in the future.

Having occupied these places, it is necessary to develop these places as well. With the interests in it, there is no need for Qin Yu to force it in the future, I am afraid that they will jump out and compete for investment. What the central government needs to do is to send troops, build railways, and provide a platform for these people, so that the economy can rise.

Relying solely on his order for the army to conquer a place is the best policy, and only by encouraging the capital of the Republic of China to actively develop outward is the right way. Although the central government is very poor, except for Liu Guanxiong, who is not extremely rich, Cao Kun's net worth is at least more than 10 million, and Wang Zhanyuan, an old man, has been scraping in Hubei for many years, and the military and local politics and taxes have to be involved, at least 20 million doxxing, and it is difficult to have more than 30 million. It's Lan Tianwei, even if he doesn't care much about money, under Qin Yu's care. Now there are millions of net worth.

In this era, you can go down to the restaurant and invite people to have a good meal for a piece of ocean, but it is not a piece of yuan in later generations, and it is only seven or eight hundred yuan to buy a car. If the money of these overseers can be released, it can be regarded as doing some good things for the industry of the Republic of China. It's better than putting it in some foreigner's bank.

"Since there is a golden sign of Yu Shuai, I will just join it, but Yu Shuai. Outer Mongolia is a place of many disasters, Mongolians, Russians, can we open mines with peace of mind? Although Wang Zhanyuan said that he was relieved, he still asked the key to the problem.

"Mongolians and Russians? Is our army vegetarian? Money can't be bought in this national territory, no matter who you are, if you want to think about it in the territory of the Republic of China, is our country's army vegetarian? Lan Tianwei smiled coldly, "The railway from Mukden has been repaired to a place less than four hundred kilometers away from Kulun. It would be three years at the latest, or two years at the earliest, to build the railway to Kulen, and if Red Russia still had ideas about Outer Mongolia, it would be possible to fight another war similar to the Middle East Road. ”

"Well, now that the railway has not been built, the supply is too inconvenient, and once the conditions for rapid troop transportation are met, there is no need to worry about the affairs of Outer Mongolia." Qin Yu nodded and dispelled everyone's doubts.

"Outer Mongolia has always been extremely tricky. Unexpectedly, Yu Shuai had already started planning this matter. I think it's a good deal. Yan Xishan said with a smile,

"Then I'll be a part too." Cao Kun nodded. None of the people here are stupid people, how can Qin Yu not see that he wants to tie the interests of everyone here to the chariot of Fengtian? But even so, it's a bait that people can't refuse. There is a saying that toasting is not eaten and punished, if you choose not to cooperate, I am afraid that Qin Yu's suppression methods will immediately swell.

Wang Zhanyuan also nodded in agreement, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's Outer Mongolia. Or Fengtian and Shandong, there are Fengjun, which is now the Central Army, to take the lead, even if they lose, the biggest blame will not fall on their heads. The sky fell and there was a tall head. Afraid of what.

"Okay, let's get back to the problem, Shandong's geographical location is very important, and it is at odds with the Liaodong Peninsula, but unfortunately now the Luda is occupied by the Japanese, and the role of defending Beijing and Tianjin has been greatly reduced, but this is also the first barrier for Japan to land from Jiaozhou Bay to threaten Beijing. Therefore, the central authorities decided to establish the Shandong-Henan Military Region in Shandong and Henan. At present, it is in charge of the possible outbreak of a war against Japan in the future, and if the customs issue can be peacefully resolved this time, the Luyu Military Region will be responsible for supervising the disarmament of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui and other provinces, and streamlining the administration of the army. ”

Lan Tianwei dropped a bombshell again, shocking everyone present. However, this is also expected, the entire province north of the Yangtze River was basically subdued by Qin Yu, and by virtue of this conflict with Japan, the formation of the Luyu Military Region, the mobilization of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Zhili, Hunan Province and several provinces of the army for their own use. Once the war fails, he can continue to command the army in the name of the military region, move south along the Jinpu Road, and supervise the disarmament of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shanghai. It is much more clever than the means of Hefei attacking Hunan in the early stage. After all, at the beginning, Duan Hefei advocated the unification of the Republic of China by force, although the provinces sent troops, but the commands were different, Duan Qirui and even a few generals of the Anhui department could not be as commanded, but Qin Yu had to summarize the armies of several provinces under the command of a military region. Of course, unlike Duan Qirui at the beginning, Qin Yu has an absolutely strong central army in his hands, that is, the Luyu Military Region, and more than half of the army directly under the central government will also be there, which is also the reason why several people have to obey.

"In the past, Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine, and now Qin Yu uses investment to collect our military power, although this Qin Yu is young, his means are really good." After the meeting, Wang Zhanyuan found a topic and walked with Cao Kun, in fact, he and Cao Kun are also old acquaintances, as for Yan Xishan, Lu Shisheng, he was not a faction with him when he was in Beiyang, and the Jin army's brigade Wang Zhanyuan also looked down on him, if he wanted to say something considerate, he naturally had to find Cao Kun, one of the only powerful factions in the north.

"Who said it wasn't, this hard-working army was taken away by Qin Yu like this, and it doesn't feel good to think about it, if the shape changes in the future, we will have no capital to settle down." Cao Kun sighed and said, from a person who is full of words to now being bound by layers of things, it is somewhat unpleasant.

"In that case, with Brother Zhongshan's reputation, do you still need to be afraid of him being a backward leader?" Wang Zhanyuan was a little puzzled.

Cao Kun glanced at Wang Zhanyuan unhappily and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid with me, if you can resist, what are you doing running from Hubei to Beijing in a daze?" ”

Wang Zhanyuan touched his nose and said with a little embarrassment, "I don't know what Qin Yu has done, now Xiong Xiling of Xiang Province is obedient to the central government, and that Cheng Qian is also relieved, Hubei Province is sandwiched between Hunan Province and Henan Province, which is not good." ”

"The arm can't twist the thigh, Shaanxi Chen Shufan is not also known as more than 100,000 troops, and it only lasted a few days before the central army passed through Tongguan, and fled to southern Shaanxi with a few thousand, and it was untenable to be sold by that Zhang Baolin, and now he has fled to Hanzhong, Liu Cunhou in Sichuan also intends to take Chen Shufan to curry favor with the central government, no different from a lost dog, I don't want to live this kind of life." With the lessons of the past, Cao Kun is naturally reluctant to live this kind of life.

"I think of us old Beiyang, and when we are old, we are still called by one of his descendants, but I don't think about it in my heart, and I don't really want to do anything." Wang Zhanyuan shook his head and smiled. "At the meeting, Yan Baichuan had the most positive attitude, he had never been all the way with us, and he also hugged the thigh of the center. Forget it, I will return to Hubei in a few days, and the central government will transfer which division to Shandong, and it will be transferred. ”

"Well, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, to say that this Qin Yu has also done some good things since he entered Beijing. This time the recovery of the sovereignty of the sea is unprecedented since the founding of the Republic of China, and now it controls the central government, Xu Donghai and Qin Yu breathe out of one nostril, the central government is now in full swing, and there are soldiers and soldiers, as soon as the customs is recovered, it is not a lot of money to ask for money, Duan Hefei borrowed so much money from the Japanese and became crazy like that, it is just a hammer deal, and the customs is a real big profit. It's enough to pull a fighting army in a year. ”

Thinking of the military and financial strength of the central government in the future, Cao Kun shuddered and took advantage of the early stage to rest his thoughts of fighting with the central government. lest the late season be insecured. Don't look at Qin Yu's politeness to them now, once he goes against the central government, Chen Shufan, who doesn't even have a place to stay, is a role model.

"Is it really that much to benefit from customs?" Wang Zhanyuan asked more.

"Within two years that Qin Yu talked to foreigners, the ordinary tax rate directly doubled, and the tax rate on luxury goods rose by 30%. According to the previous one, the annual income of the customs paid off the debts of foreigners of nearly 100 million, and there were still tens of millions of customs surpluses. doubled, even if the part of the retrenchment is deducted, there will be at least forty or fifty million left, otherwise what do you think Qin Yu is doing to fight the Japanese when he throws off his arms? Damn, there are these forty or fifty million, and Lao Tzu dares to be tough with the Japanese. Cao Kun burst into a foul mouth.

Forty or fifty million, when Wang Zhanyuan heard this number, his eyes lit up, and then he felt a little cold and rancid on his back. He has struggled for most of his life, and he is almost only this half, what to use to fight with the central government? (To be continued......)
