Chapter 90: Money and Guns

People are inherently different, as soon as Lao Zhang appeared, he had a strong aura, whether it was thousands of parades, or Lu Lin, these Beiyang troops, they were all subdued by Zhang Zuolin.

Lao Zhang was about to enter the mansion gate, but suddenly turned back and came to the front of the procession, Zhang Zuolin arched his hand at everyone.

"Fathers, everyone must know Zhang, and please rest assured that Zhang will definitely convey everyone's thoughts to the general. It's not a way for you to surround the Governor's Mansion like this, and please leave for the time being, if Zhang's thing is not done, what do you want to do, Zhang will definitely not stop you! ”

Lao Zhang made a promise, and the emotions of everyone present calmed down, and gradually began to disperse, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Zhang Zuolin walked into the gate of the Governor's Mansion with his head held high, originally Lu Lin asked his subordinates to pile up a lot of sandbags here, as if facing a great enemy, and now Lao Zhang arrived, they didn't dare to stop this Hu Shuai, Lao Zhang was so alone, swaggering into the Governor's Mansion.

Duan Zhigui had already received a report from his subordinates at this time, his face was gloomy, and when he saw Zhang Zuolin coming in, he stood up.

"Zhang Yuting, what kind of tricks are you playing, you dare to let your subordinates rush into my mansion, do you want to watch those rebels and mobs take off my head, you are satisfied, and this Fengtian will become your hand?"

"General, you are going to wrongfully punish the dead, I heard that someone had launched a march and stormed your mansion, so I rushed over to protect your safety. I Lao Zhang is the same sentence everywhere, the people in the rivers and lakes pay the most attention to righteousness, when Zhang Mou, he can't forget the great president's kindness, of course, there will be no disobedience! ”

"It's better to say than to sing, you dare to say that those soldiers who made trouble are not your subordinates, what they did, everyone can see it clearly, how can you deny it!" Duan Zhigui is not a stupid hat, from the time he grabbed those businessmen to the outbreak of large-scale demonstrations, it took more than a day before and after, but the momentum was so violent, and there were so many people who participated, if there was no driving force behind it, no one would believe it!

"General, this matter is indeed Zhang's fault, but please let me explain a thing or two. In recent years, the military salary of the 27th Division has not been paid in full, and the subordinates have to find some way to live, or run some business, or think of other ways. Recently, the development of the North Market, a large number of bricks and tiles and timber have been transported in, and they need to be guarded, and ordinary patrol officers are unreliable, so Xingye Company has leased a group of helpers to be responsible for public security. If you detain those merchants, the North Market will not be able to do anything, and these people's jobs will be gone. ”

"If you don't have a job, can you make trouble with those mobs, and there is no general like me in your eyes!" Although Duan Zhigui was still tough on his lips, his momentum had weakened a lot. Military salaries are a big problem for the armies in various places, and soldiers' salaries are even more commonplace.

Duan Zhigui also knew that these Eight Masters Qiu could do anything, so he also felt that things were tricky. In fact, this is also Duan Zhigui's confusion, he decided to attack the North Market, but he didn't carefully understand the background of the North Market, if he knew the truth, he would clear Zhang Zuolin was purely running the train with his mouth full.

The 27th Division is not a simple worker, but the real owner and manager of the North Market!

"General, don't worry, after I go back, I will definitely teach a strict lesson, so that these rabbits know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. However, please give me an idea of the current situation, tens of thousands of people marched on the streets, and the whole city came to a standstill in Mukden City for a strike, a boycott of the city, and a boycott of classes, and the whole city came to a standstill, which has a very bad impact, and I am afraid that it will jeopardize the prestige of the president! ”

Of course, there is no need for Zhang Zuolin to say this kind of thing, Duan Zhigui also thought that the godfather is now at a critical moment to ascend the throne, and representatives of public opinion have been sent from all over the country, and they will gather in Beijing to vote on the issue of national system. As a result, such a serious incident occurred in Fengtian, once the godfather was humiliated and affected the great cause of ascending the throne, there would be no redemption.

"This matter really needs to be resolved, do you have any rules for Yuting?"

"General, there is such a large-scale parade this time, but there are only two reasons, the first is that you have detained some Fengtian merchants, and the second is the problem of the depreciation of Fengtian, as long as it can be solved, naturally no one will march!"

Duan Zhigui's eyes widened suddenly, and he waved his hand again and again: "Impossible, there is no discussion!" I can put people, but I must pay the full donation according to the requirements, as for the issue of the ticket, find the official silver number, it's none of my business! ”

Who will spit out the fat meat that is swallowed, the reserves worth more than one million oceans of Fengtian Guanyin have fallen into Duan Zhigui's pocket, part of it has been remitted to Lao Yuan, and the rest is all locked in Duan Zhigui's small vault, how can he let it out.

"General, you have your difficulties, everyone knows it, but I also ask you to think about it carefully, it is not so simple to strike in Fengtian!"

"Isn't it easy? Are those mud legs going to turn the sky upside down? ”

"Of course not them, but the Great Powers. Mukden had just signed a contract with the British to supply them with goods. Just a few days ago, Britain pulled the strings, and Mukden and Russia also reached an agreement to provide them with war materials, and with two powerful countries staring at it, Mukden is in turmoil, will they be indifferent? In addition, there is Japan on the sidelines, and I am afraid of causing some diplomatic trouble. ”

It's not easy to do anything else these days, but the great powers are more effective than Shang Fang's sword, and Duan Zhigui can't be indifferent now.

"Who let them sign a contract with the great powers casually, why don't you ask my opinion for this kind of thing, it's just nonsense!"

Hu Lai is also the Great Power Hu Lai, can Your Highness Duan still manage it? Zhang Zuolin simply ignored Duan Zhigui, but the old god was sitting on the side, watching Duan Zhigui grinding back and forth on the ground.

"The great powers can't afford to give face, I can release people, but the president is about to ascend the throne, and they must contribute funds, which must not be exempted!"

Lao Zhang has long characterized his identity as a mediator, so he has to let both sides take a step back before he can deal with it.

"General, more than two million is not a small number, these people can't make up for a while, if Fengtian's commerce comes to a halt, they won't be able to make money. I think so, pay 200,000 yuan first, you release them all, and then wait for them to have the funds, and then continue to contribute! ”

Lao Zhang proposed this compromise solution, Duan Zhigui's face was gloomy, 200,000 was far from satisfying his appetite, but Duan Zhigui was frightened by this terrifying public opinion, so he had to nod his head in agreement temporarily.

"I can delay it for a few days, but don't think about delaying this money!"

"Don't worry, General, I'm willing to be the guarantor and promise to hand over all the money. Another point is the issue of tickets, I have heard that the amount involved is as much as more than 10 million, if the tickets become a blank piece of paper, it is equivalent to taking out two or three oceans from the hands of each Fengtian person, and the people really can't afford it! ”

As soon as Zhang Zuolin mentioned the ticket, Duan Zhigui suddenly felt as if he had been stepped on by the tail, and his face instantly became very ugly.

"This matter is not negotiable, my money is dedicated to the president, they have the ability, so go to Beijing to ask for money!"

Zhang Zuolin had already discussed with Zhang Tinglan yesterday, and had already guessed that Duan Zhigui would be a scoundrel, in fact, they also hoped that Duan Zhigui would be like this, otherwise things would not be easy to do!

"General, the depreciation of the ticket is very strong now, and panic has arisen, even if you return all those reserves, it will not work. I inquired, and the original reserves of the ticket were insufficient to cope with the large-scale run. ”

Duan Zhigui was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect it to be so bad, in his opinion, money is just a piece of colorful paper, and he doesn't understand that credit is the life of money.

"Yuting, is there anything you can do about it?"

"General, Zuo Lin is a soldier, what can I do, but I think this kind of thing needs to find professionals. Those businessmen have a lot of masters who operate ticket numbers, you let them go, these people naturally have to be grateful to Dade, I let them think of a way, without asking for reserves, to stabilize the currency! ”

As soon as Duan Zhigui heard that he didn't ask for money, he immediately showed joy: "This is the best, if those merchants can really stabilize the value of the currency, General Ben will definitely reward them!" ”

"General, since we are letting the merchants contribute, we must give them a little power, I think it is better to temporarily hand over the management rights of the Fengtian Guanyin and let the Fengtian merchants temporarily manage it!"

When Lao Zhang said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on Duan Zhigui, for fear that he would see something. Yesterday, Zhang Tinglan repeatedly told him that the most important thing is the issue of the right to issue currency, and only by mastering this can we truly grasp the lifeblood of Fengtian.

Duan Zhigui obviously didn't think about it so much, in his opinion, the official silver account has been emptied, and it has lost its value for the time being, if it is still in his hands, he must find a way to stabilize the currency, and if he can push this trouble to the businessman, it would be better.

"I agreed." Duan Zhigui agreed very easily: "Yuting, you must deal with those mobs as soon as possible, everything must be prioritized by the great president's imperial cause, and there can be no more chaos!" ”

Lao Zhang broke into the Governor's Mansion alone, everyone was a little worried, if Duan Zhigui realized that Zhang Zuolin was the black hand behind him, maybe he would take down Lao Zhang in a fit of anger!

When everyone was worried, Zhang Zuolin walked out of the Governor's Mansion with a happy face, Zhang Tinglan had also arrived, after he saw Lao Zhang's expression, his heart suddenly burst into joy, he knew that what he had been planning for a long time had finally come true.

The Fengtian Guanyin not only represents the right to issue currency, but the greatest value of the Guanyin is that it is subordinate to a Fengtian Machinery Bureau, which has been established since the end of the Qing Dynasty to produce silver dollars and copper. The Machinery Bureau was the earliest industrial production enterprise in Fengtian, and the issue of producing munitions was considered at the beginning of its design, which was also the predecessor of the famous Fengtian Arsenal.

If you get the official silver number, you will get the machine bureau, and at the same time, you will have the opportunity to build an arsenal. Being able to produce arms independently, the Feng Department can really grow, and Zhang Tinglan has taken a big step towards this goal!
