The officials in the government of the State and the government basically agreed to the abolition of the 'Qing House Preferential Treatment Regulations', and the reason was very simple, after deducting the Han military flag, there were probably more than one million people in the banners at this time.

Of course, not every flag person has to receive a flag salary, but even so, there are two or three hundred thousand. And according to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty when he was in power, even if he retired from old age, he could receive 1 tael of silver every month, so that the government would give the Qing Dynasty 4 million taels of silver every year, I am afraid that it would take 120 million, 20 or 30 million...

We all know that the Han people at that time were basically very hostile to the Manchus, especially after the Xinhai Revolution, there were even massacres of Manchus in some places.

For example, in Hangzhou, after Hangzhou was breached, the new army broke into the city and burned down the houses of the banner people, confiscated the property of the banner people, and imprisoned and executed the banner men over the age of 18.

There is also Jingzhou, Hubei Jingzhou was besieged by the new army for half a month, after the city was broken by Jingzhou deputy capital Yuxiang committed suicide, most of the Manchus in Jingzhou City fled, and the old and weak women and children who could not escape were pulled to the city by the new army and were collectively shot dead by T-shaped street (today's bonsai garden, blue sky supermarket).

Another example is the worst Xi'an, when the city of Xi'an was broken by the new army in the early morning, and the arsenal at the north gate of Xi'an was occupied and burned by the new army. The new army took out explosives and blew open the outer gates of the city to break into the Governor's Office, and the Xi'an general Wen Rui committed suicide. Subsequently, the new army broke into the residential area of the banner family in Dongcheng, and slaughtered and looted property. Only 300 of the 20,000 bannermen in Xi'an survived the destruction of the city. Due to the lack of military salaries, the New Army broke into the Han Chinese settlements to loot and extort money, and this behavior continued for several days before it was stopped.

These are the inglorious histories of the Xinhai Revolution, but later generations have covered them up in order to publicize its legitimacy. And this kind of thing is not uncommon after the recovery, but in Yan Shao's Anhui has not happened—————— it can't be said that there is really none, after all, Yan Shao initially controlled only Anqing, Wuhu and Dangtu A few cities, and the control over other regions is relatively weak, if this kind of thing really happens, Yan Shao has nothing to do for a while.

However, as long as it happened within his control, he basically dealt with it harshly. In addition, there are not many banner people in other regions, and it is not easy to distinguish between Manchu and Han people just from their appearance, so Anhui has become one of the provinces with the fewest such incidents...

————————————————————

Like I said before. At this time, the Han people were very hostile to the Manchus.

Of course, there must be nothing in the northeast, after all, it is the hometown of the Qing family, and there is not much problem with Hebei Zhili. In fact, even if Qing Mu is useless, he still has some control over there.

And it's different from the South. The bureaucratic system in the north was almost always inherited from the former Qing dynasty, and most of the local officials there were also left over from the former Qing dynasty and still retained a certain degree of loyalty to the Qing dynasty.

So in order to be able to take over all this smoothly, Yuan Shikai could only sign this very generous 'Qing Family Preferential Treatment Regulations', in exchange for the loyalty of the north and the acquiescence of most of the banner people—————— of course, there are still some banner people who oppose it, but think about how many princes and nobles and Yuan Shikai called them brothers and sisters at that time...

However, after all, only the north agrees with this regulation, to be precise, Hebei Zhili and Liaodong. Other regions, especially the provinces in the south, where the revolutionary power is strong, do not agree. After all, according to the regulations, the expulsion of the Tartars would be empty words.

It's just because Yuan Shikai's strength was the strongest at that time. Therefore, the provincial military governments can only acquiesce, but in fact, they are reluctant, especially for the matter of taking tens of millions of dollars every year to raise a group of rice worms, you must know that the finance and taxes of a province at that time may not be 10 million, and Cai Yi's Yunnan is only five or six million, six or seven million...

Even within Beiyang, not all of them support it...

To be honest, Yan Shao really had no interest in bullying Yulon and Pu Yi's pair of orphans and widows, and he didn't want to kill the pair of orphans and widows, but...

Forbidden City, Yan Shao wants to come back to get a Forbidden City Museum, this is not too much, right?

Summer palace? This is the courtyard that the old demon woman of Cixi embezzled the navy's military funds to repair, and it is not too much to take it back, right?

In addition, four million taels a year, your sister's, four million taels a year, four million taels is enough for Yan Shao to build a cruiser!

And the salary of the Eight Banners, what the hell do you want me to come out?

Yan Shao understood why Yuan Shikai wanted to get that big loan for the aftermath, without that big loan for the aftermath, where would Yuan Shikai get the money for the Manchu royal family?

Yan Shao is not Yuan Shikai, nor is he Sun Yat-sen, and the Qing abdication regulations did not have Yan Shao's share back then, so the above regulations, except for some irrelevant ones, the rest of Yan Shao will not recognize them...

Four million taels, plus the salary of the Eight Banners or something, Yan Shao couldn't waste it even if he had money.

And Li Liang and Liang Shiyi have long been overwhelmed by the heavy burden of finance and taxes, and now that they can reduce their expenditures by 20 or 30 million, they naturally support it. So now the upper echelons of the national government are quite unanimous about this, but there is some disagreement on how to do it and when to do it.

In the eyes of many people, Yan Shao's decision was a little impatient, and he acted in a hurry...

However, in Yan Shao's opinion, this time is just right, after all, it will be canceled now, even if the flag people make any trouble, Yan Shao will have a few months to clean it up, but if it is done after a while...

It's time for World War I...

Not to mention how long Qingdao will fight, after the outbreak of World War I, it is the most suitable time for China's development, Yan Shao has no time to fight with the flag man at this time...

So come early and solve it early...

————————————————————

"But what Duan Qirui said is not unreasonable..."Sitting opposite Yan Shao, Fu Xiuming muttered. After serving as Minister of Defense for half a year, Fu Xiuming has developed a bit of prestige. "Now there are 200,000 or 300,000 banner people in Beijing, and these banner people have nothing to do on weekdays, all of them barely make ends meet by paying salaries. If they are hastily cut off from their source of livelihood, even if there are only 30,000 or 20,000 people who make a fuss, it will be a problem..."

"That's why I'm looking for you...", signaling everyone to retreat, Yan Shao looked at Fu Xiuming and Li Liang who was sitting next to him. Riots are sure to happen. So what we have to do now is to find a way to suppress the riots that might happen..."

Judging by the habits of the flag people, the probability of this kind of thing happening is almost 100%.

"Troubles..."

This kind of thing is not only good at the soldiers of various provinces in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, but even the banner people in the capital are also very good at it—————— or it should be said that the flag men in the capital are better at this kind of thing than the soldiers in the hands of the warlords.

In troubled times, no matter how big the ambition is, even if he just wants to guard his own one-third of his own land to be the emperor of the soil, he must meet all the needs of the army under his command. In this case, no matter how difficult the situation is, as long as there is still some surplus food in hand. Then the warlords will definitely be paid the general's salary as scheduled.

But the flag man is not...

First of all, since Gengzi, when has the Qing family ever been rich? Naturally, the banner people's salaries were not for a while, after the Xinhai Revolution. Pu Yi and Yulon themselves are about to run out of life. Not to mention the more than one million banner people below.

Living a day without a meal, many flag people are no longer in the mood to go shopping with birdcages, and their daily task is naturally to 'make money'.

This situation was not improved until Yuan Shikai came to power and signed a large loan with the Great Powers for the aftermath—————— which was not only used to expand the army, but also used to pay the 4 million taels of wages for the bannermen after the abdication of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the Kuomintang at that time used the aftermath of borrowing money as an excuse to make trouble, which was somewhat vexatious. After all, everyone knew the situation in Beiyang at that time, and Yuan Shikai only controlled the north, and he couldn't control the financial and tax land in the south at all. Coupled with the mess in the north at that time, there was no big borrowing for the aftermath. The 4 million taels that Yuan Shikai abdicated from the Qing Dynasty couldn't take out at all, let alone the salary of the banner people.

You must know that the 4 million taels of the abdication of the Qing Dynasty are not a total of 4 million taels, but every year...

"But if the army is dispatched, in case......... Will there be some disadvantages in the international perspective? ”

Li Liang also knew about the recent military transfer, and he and Duan Qirui, Xu Shichang and others had also talked about it for a long time, and they all felt that it was a bit too much to send the army to deal with this matter.

"This is also something that can't be helped..."Before Yan Shao could speak, Fu Xiuming on the side had already said. Nowadays, most of the police in the city are inherited from the Beiyang period, these police officers have lived in Beijing for many years, and they have an inextricable relationship with the banner people in the city.

On the side, Yan Shao bowed slightly.

As Fu Xiuming said, the flag people have survived in this city for hundreds of years, and the police and flag people in the city are almost inextricably linked. Of course it's nothing now, but if they go and suppress the 'troublesome' flag people...

Who knows what will happen to Lu Dao afterwards...

There's no way, after all, the Nationalist government has only been established for half a year, and its foundation in the city is still too shallow...

————————————————————

At a time when China is underwhelmed by the 'preferential treatment regulations', the U.S. and other countries' auto markets are also excited by a number of new arrivals.

It may be a little surprising, but in this era, the United States is probably the highest per capita income in the world, even much higher than Europe—————— of course, this also leads to the high cost of some products in the United States, for example, textile products are because of the high price, the result is that compared with the textiles of European or Asian countries, American textiles are obviously not competitive.

But on the other hand, since the daily wage level of American workers has reached more than $2 at this time, this is equivalent to the annual income of American workers reaching more than $700 per year...

More than $700, compared to the $2, $3,000 or $3,000 cars of the past, this income still requires American workers to work for years to save up money to buy a car.

But then the advent of the Model T and the 'Raindrops' changed that.

Especially 'Raindrops', which sells for $750. The average American worker could buy one with a year's income, and if a family of three had a job...

Of course, considering that the status of women is very low in this era. Most women have only the right to have children at home. In fact, this was the same in Europe at this time, but during the First World War, too many three-legged creatures in Europe died, and two-legged women had to be allowed to work with them, so the status of women was improved, and the United States...

Historically, the United States waited until it was almost over the war to enter the war, and its own losses were not very large, and poor American women naturally lost this opportunity...

And because of this. In fact, generally speaking, if a family of three is located, usually only adult men, that is, the head of the family, have a job.

But in any case, the 'raindrops' and Ford's Model T are a generational product. If one day the 'raindrops' were to reduce the price to $260, like the historical Ford, the average American worker would earn enough for three cars in a year...

This is one of the reasons why the United States has been able to become the kingdom of automobiles...

————————————————————

In front of a car dealership in New York, a couple looked at the advertisement in front of the dealership and looked a little hesitant. And at their hand. A little girl who looked to be 7 or 8 years old was holding a rag doll and looking at her parents strangely.

"Is it a new model?" the middle-aged man who seemed to be his father hesitated as he looked at the new model advertised in the dealership.

This time the family of three came out to buy a car, originally they planned to go to the 'Chevrolet' next door to have a look, although the price of the Chevrolet is dozens of dollars higher than the 'raindrops' of the rain stone, but anyway, after all, it is a 'domestic product', in such an era of strong xenophobic thinking, it is not a strange thing to support domestic products.

The question is...

This new car that appears on a dealership billboard. Not only is it much more beautiful than the current 'raindrops' of the Rainstone Group and the low-end cars of companies such as Chevrolet and Ford, but there is also a price code written on the billboard that makes him very excited...

"$998..."

Say goodbye to the high price. Don't 3400, don't 1200, just 998, just 998...

Cough...

The first line can be ignored...

In fact, the billboard says $1,000 and the advertising slogan says, '1/3 more price, 3/1 performance...'

Of course, this is just an advertising slogan, and we all know how fake advertising is. In fact, the new Raindrop A is only 2 times more powerful than the original Raindrop at most, but even then it is super cost-effective.

The middle-aged man was not very wealthy, although he earned more than the average worker, but the 'Liulan', which already occupied the high-end market, was still too expensive for him.

But...

For $1,000, he can afford it...

And a new car with extremely high performance for only $1,000 is undoubtedly more attractive to him than a low-end car that requires $800 but is much worse in performance...

"Honey, why don't we go in and take a look at this car..."

Holding her husband's hand, the little girl's mother said softly.

Of course, she knows that her husband wants to support domestic products, but as a woman, she always has to think more. As a budget-conscious woman, there is no difference between Chinese and American goods, she just knows that the car in front of her is more beautiful than Chevrolet and Ford's cars, and the performance is much higher, but the price is only a third higher...

How to choose, even if it is only with your knees, it seems that you can figure it out...

Looking at the billboard outside the dealership, the husband was already a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant, after all, when he was at home, he had sworn to his wife that he would not patronize those Chinese cars no matter how cheap they were, if he regretted it now......... How embarrassed he was in front of his wife and children...

Men, they always want to save face...

However, his wife's words were like a step to him, after all, this is what his wife wants to go in and see, not himself...

Thinking of this, the husband pretended to be embarrassed, but nodded anyway.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look..."

It was more than 9 o'clock in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, but when the husband opened the door and led his wife and daughter in, he found that there were already more than 10 people standing in the dealership, all of whom seemed to be coming to see the car.

At the same time, several salesmen who were busy in the store hurriedly walked up to a young man in his early 20s after seeing a new customer walk in.

"A few of you are here to see the car..."A hearty smile and white teeth make people can't help but feel a little good about it.

"That's right," he nodded, hesitating, and her husband pointed in the direction of the door. We wanted to see the billboard outside the door..."

"It's an A-car," the young man didn't seem surprised. Check it out! ”

After leading the family of three to the corner of the dealership, the young man pointed to a dark green car.

"This is the latest 'Raindrop A' car launched by Yushi Group, which is the car on the billboard just now. Compared with the 'raindrops' of the past, it has been greatly improved, otherwise the appearance has become fuller than in the past, and the interior space and comfort have also been greatly improved, and most importantly..."Speaking of which, the salesman, who was only in his 20s, smiled at the three of them, revealing the white teeth inside. “……… Compared to the raindrops of the past, the price of this car is only 250 dollars higher, and it is very cost-effective, which suits the requirements of customers, in fact, almost all customers in the store now come for this car..." (To be continued......
