Chapter 196 Fiscal Revenue and Expenditure

"This Qin Yu has also learned to play temper now." Seeing the telegram sent by Fengtian, Yuan Shikai couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart, no matter how good Qin Yu did in Fengtian, he was not the one he brought up after all. To be able to grow to the current scale in just a few years is too demonic. The greater Qin Yu's ability, the more he felt threatened, after all, Fengtian was too close to Beijing, and it would not take a day to take Jingfeng Road south.

If Qin Yu is like those people in the revolutionary party, he doesn't have to worry too much, but Qin Yu usually talks little, and he is better at doing practical things than anyone else. Including the extermination of the rebels in Outer Mongolia, the troops in the northern provinces won a great victory a day, and the number of enemies reported to be killed added up to more than 100,000, which was five or six times more than the total strength of the rebels combined.

A full jar does not shake half a jar, or to put it vulgarly, a dog that bites people does not bark.

"This Qin Yu is really both loveable and disgusting."

"If the president is not at ease with him, he might as well try to transfer him to Rehe or other provinces to cut off the foundation he has laid in Mukden." Yuan Shikai's think tank Yang Shiqi suggested.

"Let him lead the troops into the customs to suppress the bandits, Zhang Xun heard that I wanted him to suppress the bandits, and threatened to expand the army by 10 battalions, Qin Yu was good, and directly doubled. Twenty battalions, one reinforced mixed brigade. In the final analysis, Zhang Xun used to garrison Jiangsu, but now he is back again, and he is reluctant to leave because of the old man. Qin Yu ran Fengtian like an iron bucket, the wind could not blow in, and the raindrops could not penetrate. If you want him to move the nest, it's not ordinarily difficult. Yuan Shikai shook his head and directly rejected Yang Shiqi's proposal.

"At the beginning, the president single-handedly trained the six towns of Beiyang, and his mastery of the new army was unmatched, but now there are still a large number of old troops in the Republic of China, and these people are not the disciples and grandchildren of the president. Moreover, it has a profound impact on the local government, and many people have grasped the military and political power in the local area. If the president wants to consolidate the foundation of the Republic of China, he must separate the armies of these people from the localities, so that the military and the government are not subordinate to each other, and there are no inextricable ties with the localities. Yang Shiqi said.

"Well, that's a good idea." Yuan Shikai nodded, he had already had the idea of separating the military and the government from the local government. It's just that the overall situation is still undecided, although the Kuomintang's armed forces in the Battle of Kwai Chou have been resolved, there are still some remnants, and now there is Bai Lang ravaging most of the Central Plains, and there are still many unstable factors in the locality, and Yuan Shikai has no way to make results for a while, and everyone understands the truth that it is too much.

It is difficult to deploy the huge local army in the face of war, and the ineffective command has been fully manifested in many wars. These local armies are not only not strong in combat effectiveness. It is also necessary to squeeze out a large amount of military spending, and the time is ripe. According to Yuan Shikai's temperament, he had to cut everything that was left. If it weren't for the fact that the Battle of Kwai Chou had consumed a large amount of military spending last year, the central government would have been able to maintain a balance between revenue and expenditure on the whole, and if a large number of local armies could have been cut, Yuan Shikai would have been able to free up his hands to reorganize the army and manage the army well for three to five years. The Republic of China is by no means the current situation.

"However, the others have not yet become a climate, but Qin Yu has been running Fengtian for a long time, and even Zhang Xiluan, an old man who has been mixed in the Fengtian officialdom for several years, has been subdued by Qin Yu, and last time I promoted Yang Xing of the Taonan Cavalry Brigade, I didn't respond much. Qin Yu's control of the Fengtian army has exceeded my expectations, and if it continues to grow, I am afraid that it will not be able to shake off. After thinking for a while, Yuan Shikai was a little worried, "But now that Japan is moving more and more outside the customs, it is indeed impossible to guarantee to resist the infiltration of Japan and Russia if it is replaced by ordinary mediocre people." ”

"What the president is worried about is nothing more than Qin Yu's loyalty, Qin Yu has not been promoted by the president, and he does have the talent to do things, the president might as well recruit him into Beijing, and look at Qin Yu's attitude face to face, Qin Yu doesn't want to move, and he doesn't come to Beijing after receiving the telegram, so it's unreasonable." Yang Shiqi offered a plan.

"Well, that's it." Yuan Shikai nodded.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%

"Up to now, in the past two years, the province has added 227 light industrial factories such as textile, brick, sugar, and oil extraction, of which 5 have an output value of more than 1 million yuan and 23 have an output value of more than 500,000 yuan. 34 new factories for machining, manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc...."

"The agricultural tax is 12.071 million yuan, the tobacco tax is 1.063 million yuan, the wine tax is 593,000 yuan, the centigold is 1.395 million yuan, and the various taxes and miscellaneous donations are 2.339 million yuan, with a total of 17.361 million yuan."

"The above taxes escorted the central government 5.637 million yuan..."

"There are 3 new hydroelectric power stations and 5 thermal power stations, with a total power generation capacity of 236,000 kilowatt hours."

"Last year, 591 kilometers of new roads were built, and the cumulative mileage was 723 kilometers. Under construction this year and next year, a total of 2,071 kilometers of roads will be built. ”

Qin Yu flipped through the economic construction achievements of Fengtian in the last one or two years, and these numbers roughly showed the economic presentation of Fengtian in the past two years. On the books, the annual financial revenue of Fengtian Province is 17.361 million yuan, which is the result of rectifying the officialdom, organizing a large number of immigrants to reclaim land, and building water conservancy. Of course, this is only in agriculture, and the accounts of industrial and mining enterprises are independent, and at this time, the total tax paid by industrial and mining enterprises reached 8.671 million, of which the enterprises with mine development, iron and steel, and coal mines paid relatively heavy taxes, accounting for more than half. Especially Benxi Iron and Steel under Qin Yu's name, the profits of the steel mill are huge, and the funds paid into the provincial treasury are also very amazing.

"If the tax revenue of the central government knows that the industrial and mining enterprises have not been reported and directly concealed it, I am afraid that the president will be afraid of the division..." Tian Helin was a little worried, Yuan Shikai originally had a lot of suspicions about Qin Yu, and if he came out like this, Yuan Shikai was only afraid of more.

"Don't get in the way, I'm in debt now, I'm not Yuan Shikai's apprentice. With so many troops in my hands, no matter how much tax I pay, I can't change Yuan Shikai's suspicion of me. "In the first two years, Fengtian's finances were basically in deficit, and now after repaying various debts, there can still be a large amount of surplus, which is also the result of the efforts of the people of Fengtian themselves. More than 5.6 million yuan was handed over to the central government in one year. It has risen by more than one million compared to the first year of the Republic of China. Qin Yu waved his hand and said, the future chaos of the Republic of China is destined to waste a lot of money, rather than handing it over to the central government, it is better to stay in Fengtian directly, with the development speed of Fengtian at this time, and the efficiency of the use of funds is much higher than that of the central government.

"Besides, this amount of money is not enough even for Fengtian himself. Where is the spare money to help others. ”

Tian Helin nodded, of course, the money is most comfortable in his hands. At this time, Mukden's finances were far from abundant. The original First Mixed Brigade, the 27th Division was organized, and the military expenses were responsible for the central government, and the later mixed Second Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the Liaodong Mixed Regiment were privately expanded by Qin Yu, and they did not even have a name in the central government. In addition to the cavalry brigade, it was meritorious to exterminate the Mongolian rebels. Nominally outside the War Department, there was also a mixed brigade and a mixed regiment that Mukden himself was responsible for. In addition, the armory on the other side of Taonan. Next year, nearly 1,000 kilometers of roads will be built, and more than 100 primary schools, 30 middle schools, 7 primary schools, and higher normal schools will be established within two years. The large and small rivers in Mukden were renovated and hydropower stations were built. Improve the police system in Mukden. The repayment of various debts owed since the end of the Qing Dynasty has stretched the seemingly abundant funds, with a deficit of about 200 to 3 million this year and next.

"If it weren't for the rapid growth of Fengtian Guanhao Bank and the mainstay of Huaxing Bank, I wouldn't dare to be so rash." Tian Helin said with a smile.

"Fengtian is in ruins. Don't look at the current deficit of several million a year, if I don't have other investments, the deficit expands to four or five million, which is nothing for the economic growth rate of Fengtian's high-speed economy. "Agriculture alone is very slow to drive the economy, and it will not be able to bring in a large number of employed people. However, industrial and mining enterprises can drive a huge industrial chain, and now Fengtian has to add tens of thousands of jobs every year. The economic growth was enough to close the fiscal gap of the previous year.

If it weren't for the investment of a lot of money in local construction, according to the standards of other provinces, Fengtian at this time would also be able to raise an army of 100,000 people, and Tian and Lin discussed financial matters, and after the budget expenditure of the new year, Qin Yu thought with some petty bourgeoisie. The second set of steel smelting equipment will arrive in Mukden in about two months, and with the suggestions of the mining area, it is a safe thing to put into operation next year. In addition, the equipment for the production of gunpowder has been purchased and built in large quantities on the west coast of the Atlantic in the United States, using companies registered in the United Kingdom. At this time, racial discrimination in the United States is still quite serious, and directly in the name of Qin Yu, even if Qin Yu is a division commander, under the influence of the American consortium, it is not enough to see it, and it will inevitably be swallowed.

Nearly 10 million yuan, or four or five million dollars when converted into dollars, after the gunpowder factory is completed, it can also be mortgaged to the Morgan consortium to lend a large amount of money again, although it has to bear a high interest rate of 6 percent, but it is nothing compared with the profits made from the production of gunpowder. As long as this speculation can be successful, it will have the capital to bargain with the Japanese. Qin Yu said secretly in his heart.

"Master, something strange happened in the north of the city today." As Qin Yu's adjutant, Ding Cheng was also a busy man, knocked on the door of Qin Yu's office a few times and walked in.

"What's the matter?"

"Jilin Meng Enyuan, the nephew of Master Meng made trouble in Mukden and clashed with the Tsarist Russians, and now he has been forcibly arrested by a group of Tsarist Russians." Ding Cheng said with a smile.

"Is that the one named Gao Shifu?" Qin Yu put down the documents in his hand and said with some surprise. Meng Enyuan is also regarded as the head snake of Jilin, and now he is the Jilin Protector Envoy, the commander of the 23rd Division, and he has the title of Protector Envoy more than Qin Yu, and he has an unusual relationship with Yuan Shikai, that is, the Jilin Overseer, and he must also give three points to him.

"It's called Gao Shifu." Ding Cheng nodded.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Yu asked.

Gao Shifu had some conflicts with Chasayev who was playing on the other side of Changzhao Lake, Chasayev suffered a small loss at first, and heard that he was slapped in the face, Chasayev's guards were nearby, and immediately ran over and arrested Gao Shifu and several of his entourage, which will be the police chief on Fengtian's side also rushed over, Chasayev just refused to let go. Gao Shifu and his retinue were also beaten badly. Ding Chengdao.

Knock knock. Wang Yuhai ran over from next door. "The phone number transferred by Jilin is Commander Meng of the 23rd Division."

"Really? Turn the phone around. Qin Yu lifted the phone, "Hey, Meng Lao, I'm Qin Yu." ”

Meng Mengyuan and Yuan Shikai are of the same generation, and it is normal for Qin Yu to call them elders verbally.

"Yuchen. You see that you are a teacher in Fengtian, and I am a teacher in Jilin, the two have the same official positions, but the age difference is dozens of years, and the future is terrifying. Meng Enyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Meng Lao has won the award, Meng Lao has a wide range of contacts in Beiyang, and he has many friends, which is not comparable to a brat." Qin Yu said modestly.

"It's rare for a young man to be so humble, and my nephew can have one-tenth of you, and I will burn high incense." Meng Enyuan sighed on the phone, "My nephew's adjutant called me just now to tell me. Shifu played in Mukden, but there was some conflict with a nobleman in Tsarist Russia, the two sides moved, and now Shifu is still under the control of the other party, Yuchen you are in Fengtian, what you say in front of the Russians is more effective than the old man, see if you can help me with this, and say good things to the Russians. Let them put the priest back, and I can help you if there is anything you can do in the future. I'm by no means ambiguous. ”

"Really? Wait a minute, Meng Lao, I'll call and ask about this matter. Qin Yu pretended to ask again, then picked up the phone and said, "Old Meng, I asked just now, this time Shifu was not very lucky. It was in the hands of the Russian Viscount Chasayev, who is Chasayev, let alone a gentry, I'm afraid that even me, or Meng Lao, can't afford to offend. ”

"What the hell is this Chasayev?" Meng Enyuan couldn't help but ask.

"Chasayev is the nephew of Tsara Rasputkin. The entire palace of Tsarist Russia, the tsar and the empress had great trust in Rasputkin, under one person, above tens of thousands of people. Qin Yu said.

"Such a big official, what should I do?" Meng Enyuan was taken aback, it was not quite the first powerful minister of Tsarist Russia, when Cixi was still there, Li Lianying, Cui Yugui and other big eunuchs and even local officials had to try their best to make good friends. Tsarist Russia was much stronger than the rotten Qing government.

"If it was an ordinary old man, I would directly send troops to rescue the gentry, but this Chasayev has a noble status, and if he doesn't do it, he will cause a diplomatic dispute, and the last time he was assassinated in Mukden, I almost got a lawsuit. But I still have a bit of a friendship with him, since Meng Lao made a special call to come over, I will go to see Chasayev, but how much can it help, I can't make a package ticket. ”

"That's really thank you Yuchen, I don't dare to say it anywhere else, if there is anything I can help in Jilin in the future, I will definitely do it for you." Meng En walked from afar.

"If you can help me, you can only give me Jilin." Qin Yu hung up the phone and whispered to himself, Meng Enyuan was only a military envoy at this time, and he was greedy for money, but he had not yet become an overseer, and Qin Yu with real estate in his hand was not very good, but at this time, the Jilin overseer had no military power, and as soon as Yuan Shikai fell, it was obvious that it would become Meng Enyuan's meal, and the two would still be hostile at that time, so take this opportunity to contact Meng Enyuan and get to know the officers of the Meng family.

"Prepare the horses, I'll see Chasayev later."

"Division, the Italian Ca30 plane and the French trainer plane have been put on the transport ship, and it won't take long to transport them to Fengtian, we don't have pilots in Fengtian yet, do you want those people in Nanyuan to come back by then?" Ding Cheng saw that Qin Yu was about to go out, and hurriedly asked.

"Well, let them come back, it's better to dig a few more people from Nanyuan." Qin Yu nodded, he spent a lot of money to buy the plane back from Italy and France, but it was not for decoration, it was not very difficult to fly the plane at this time, he had been on the plane a few times in Nanyuan, and it should be no problem to fly alone a few times, let these rookies come to Fengtian to fly the plane, let them be instructors, and it is a little reluctant, but everything is difficult at the beginning, no matter how strong it is, Fengtian's aviation skills must also be put up as soon as possible.

"General Qin!" When Qin Yu rushed to Changzhao Lake, the first thing he saw was Ye Lilina, the spring was bright, Ye Lilina was in the sun, her white skin was more crystalline, her golden and soft hair was sprinkled on the back of her head, and she had a dreamy feeling from a distance. Seeing Qin Yu, Ye Lilina beckoned to Qin Yu from a distance.

"Miss Elilina, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you doing in Mukden?" Qin Yu got off the horse.

"It's not bad, the lively atmosphere of Fengtian City is very fascinating, only when I was in Russia and Europe, I have seen such a lively city, the scenery of Changzhao Lake is very good, thank you for your recommendation." Yelilina smiled sweetly.

"What about Mr. Viscount?" Qin Yu asked.

"General Qin, every time you appear, it's always because of work needs. He caught a few Han people just now, and I don't know what novel tricks he thought of to torture them, in front of you, I'll take you over. Elilina shrugged her shoulders and walked forward with the hem of her skirt.

Qin Yu then followed, the distance was farther than expected, walking for six or seven minutes, there was a small forest composed of twenty or thirty trees in front of him, insects and birds chirping, and green grass was full.

Ah, Ye Lilina accidentally stepped on half of the mud brick, her feet and neck twisted, and the twist was not heavy, but her body stumbled forward, Qin Yu hurriedly grabbed her arm from behind and pulled Ye Lilina back, but just now she was a little stronger, Ye Lilina leaned back, and the whole person crashed into Qin Yu's bad, and her fat buttocks were tightly pressed against Qin Yu's lower abdomen, these days Zhou Yingxue's brother Zhou Jing'an married the third aunt who gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, Zhou Yingxue has not come back to her parents' home, and Chen Xinyi is inconvenient. I usually don't think there's anything, but when I suddenly hug such a foreign girl, I can't react at all. The sudden reaction below was against Yelilina's ass. (To be continued......)
