Chapter 366: Entering the Forbidden City
"To put it mildly, the cultivated land area of our Fengtian Province is only more than 20 million mu, and the cultivated land controlled by these Eight Banner Princes actually exceeds one province, it's just too scary!"
"That's right, most of the land they control is in Henan, Hebei and Shandong, which has always been a densely populated place, and they have annexed so much land, I don't know how many people will be displaced, and even their families will be ruined, these bastards are simply moths!"
Zhang Xueliang also said indignantly: "The most infuriating thing is that the Republic of China is over, these people can still occupy so much land and wealth, act as a prestige, and oppress the good, is this the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or not?" ”
"Well, the connection between the Beiyang clique and the old bureaucracy is too close, and they simply do not have the courage to reform the country, but on the contrary, they have to constantly maintain the old system. At the beginning, Yuan Shikai made a big loan for the aftermath, which made the city full of wind and rain, if Lao Yuan really had the courage to directly confiscate the property of the Eight Banners, he would definitely get more, and he could also gain fame and fortune. ”
Sun Liechen also smiled on the side: "Don't talk about this, if Lao Yuan has the courage, can we still pick up the cheap now, you can tell me, how much money did we get, I looked at those numbers, and I was dizzy." ”
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "This time we have made a fortune, from these people, the direct deposits and gold and silver are conservatively estimated at more than 50 million, these money are all we can directly call, and we are arranging manpower to transfer all the funds to our account." ”
"It's a lot, more than 50 million, almost catching up with Fengtian's financial income for two or three years, to put it mildly, if you take the Middle East Road, the wealth seized is only fifty or sixty million, these Eight Banner princes are really a group of rats!"
"Anything else is more expensive than direct funding. The real estate estate is sold at the current price, which can reach about 20 million; Of the 27 million acres of land, the vast majority of which are fertile fields, is 270 million based on an average of 10 oceans per acre of land; If the price of the shop is discounted, it is more than 100 million yuan, and they also have a large number of jewelry, jade, ancient characters and paintings, all of which have been sold. It is also a huge fortune, which will be at least more than 20 million. ”
Zhang Tinglan said the same, even if Zhang Xueliang and Sun Liechen were the same, after adding up these things, they were also a little dizzy.
"That's almost 500 million yuan. I remember that the Zuihou of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had the highest fiscal income in a year, reaching more than 300 million taels of silver. The result was the Xinhai Revolution. We got a year's worth of Manchu revenue at once. Feng Jun is a step to the sky! ”
Sun Liechen was ecstatic about this amount, Fengjun is fat, and the big guys will definitely get benefits, it seems that this time the entry is right, and the benefits are too great.
Zhang Tinglan was also pleased that the Beiyang government was established since then. When the fiscal revenue of the year was at its highest, it was only 80 million yuan, mainly due to the frenzied interception in various places, and the figure became smaller and smaller. 500 million yuan is equivalent to their income for six or seven years. In addition, the Japanese extorted 230 million taels of silver during the First Sino-Japanese War, and then the small island country quickly swelled up like eating a big tonic pill and became a great power.
Feng Jun got more wealth than them this time, and the natural conditions of the three eastern provinces were more superior, Zhang Tinglan was also full of confidence and enthusiasm at this time.
"In fact, we have only checked some of the upper-level princes and ministers of the Eight Banners, and there are many people who have hid in the concession, if we can catch them all, it is not impossible to get more than a billion wealth!"
"Humble words, are you going to enter the concession and arrest people?" Zhang Xueliang's eyes were red, the genes of the old Zhang bandits were burning, as long as Zhang Tinglan nodded, this young marshal could immediately rush into Dongjiaomin Lane.
However, Zhang Tinglan grabbed him and said with a smile: "I don't want to have a conflict with the great powers yet, I mean to treat these Eight Banner princes as an inexhaustible treasure, now issue a wanted warrant first, and then give me a good watch, and if there is a chance in the future, arrest them, of course, kidnapping is okay, and this will become our fixed source of wealth in the future!" ”
"That's it, humble words, didn't you say that you want to continue to strengthen the training of those sharpshooters, what kind of special forces, I think this is an opportunity, in the future, kidnapping is the graduation exam of special forces, the higher the position of the Manchu officials who are kidnapped, the more property, the better their graduation grades, I don't believe that these boys don't work hard."
Zhang Tinglan was also frightened by this idea, if it continues to develop like this, Fengjun really has a tendency to change back into a beard, but he didn't stop it, anyway, it is already a great gift to attack those Eight Banner princes, and it is already a great gift to be able to keep them alive, and I don't look at what they have ruined the country.
"Humble, the money has been obtained, but what are we going to do with it?"
Sun Liechen asked a very critical question again, and when he got the money, he had to put it in his pocket, which was completely safe.
"Direct transfer of cash, gold, silver and jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other things are all escorted back to Fengtian for processing, we also have a Forbidden City in Fengtian, directly converted into a museum, valuable cultural relics are put inside, and we will deal with those with slightly worse value, but we can't sell them all at once, but we have to ship them slowly!"
"Well, that's right." Sun Liechen nodded: "If something is sold too much at one time, the price will definitely not go up, and the same is true for those fields and houses, they must also be processed in batches, and then sold at the right price!" ”
Zhang Tinglan nodded: "The price is on the one hand, it also depends on whether Fengtian needs it, and in addition, there are a lot of tenant farmers on these lands, I think don't disrupt their lives for the time being, let's find out the specific situation first, and then it is best to encourage these tenant farmers to immigrate to the Northeast and enrich the population of the Northeast." ”
Land has always been the most important thing for the Chinese, Zhang Tinglan is not ready to sell it all, this time the income Zhang Tinglan mainly has two uses, to continue to invest in Mukden's industry and education, in addition, the Russian Revolution is imminent, Fengjun must seize the time to expand the military strength.
The main target of the foreign world is Europe, the time of the First World War has reached Zuihou, the collapse of Germany is imminent, the Feng army must take advantage of this opportunity to buy Germany and Austria-Hungary, so a lot of money is also needed.
After preparing enough funds, Zhang Tinglan also hopes to keep some land in Guannai and transform this land into a farm model. This is a long-term investment, mainly to explore the way to deal with the land problem, Guannai is different from the three eastern provinces, densely populated, serious land annexation, and there is not enough arable land as a maneuver, but the land problem can not be solved, so Zhang Tinglan is ready to keep a large amount of land for pilot purposes.
In addition, if they are well managed, these lands and peasants will become the internal response of the Feng army to enter the customs in the future, and they can play the role of surprise soldiers, and they can also use them to listen to intelligence and understand all kinds of necessary information.
"Humble words, now that these Eight Banner princes have also been raided, are you still going to stay in the capital?"
"There's not much interest, let's take what should be taken, the next thing is the confrontation between Li Yuanhong and Lao Duan, it's really nothing to look at, let's hurry up and stay away!"
"That's right." Sun Liechen smiled and nodded: "In the capital, they will force us to make a statement, I am ready to go back to Fengtian, meet Yuting, and then go to Rehe." ”
Sun Liechen's position as the Overseer of Rehe has been determined, and he is also the feudal official of a province, although Rehe is still a little barren compared to the three eastern provinces, but it can be regarded as a boil out, Sun Liechen is very satisfied, so he is in a hurry to take office.
"Then you will go back to Fengtian first, and the teachers and students of Nanyuan Aviation School, as well as Dagu Shipyard, will be relocated to Fengtian and will go back with you. I'm going to go to Tianjin first to deal with the problem of going down the salt farm, and then go back to Mukden when I have a clue.
"Well, it's okay, in addition, you can get closer to the Zhou family, and the hairy son-in-law should also recognize the door!"
Sun Liechen and Yang Yuting withdrew to the customs with the Feng army in batches, they escorted a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, and returned with a full load, everyone was beaming.
Zhang Tinglan is also preparing to leave Beijing, of course, the Eight Banners nobles have too much property, and they will continue to investigate, and the land and properties they get in hand, the trading firms, and the mansions and manors must all be managed, and they will be sold at the appropriate time.
"Clumsy words, let's go to Beijing and leave, don't you think it's a bit anticlimactic?" Zhang Xueliang is the most lively, and he has not been in a hurry to return to Fengtian.
"Han Qing, there is a big thing in history, I don't know if you want to do it?"
"What's the matter, hurry up and say it!" Zhang Xueliang's eyes lit up.
"The little emperor Puyi is still living in the Forbidden City, but I told the reporter that I want to drive the little emperor out of the Forbidden City, and now Lao Duan is pretending to be confused, this matter should be handled by us, and expelling an emperor from the Forbidden City in China, isn't this a famous history?"
When Zhang Xueliang heard this, he patted his thigh happily and said with a smile: "I'll just say that my humble words won't be untargeted, let's spit and spit is a nail, we will do what we say, immediately reorganize the army, and we will kill the Forbidden City!" ”
Sun Liechen took away most of the Feng army, but Zhang Tinglan also had a reinforced regiment in his hand, and then he was mobilized, and the Feng army raided the mansions of the princes and ministers everywhere in the capital during this time, and the people were familiar with it.
But as soon as they saw thousands of Feng troops dispatched together, they were vicious, and these ordinary people were wondering who they were targeting. It wasn't until the Feng army rushed directly to the Forbidden City and surrounded this building that symbolized imperial power that the common people realized in a dream that the little emperor was going to get out.
Not only the people, but also reporters from various newspapers, as well as school students, heard the news, all gathered on Tiananmen Square, Zhang Tinglan said to them: "In the land of the Republic of China, there lives an emperor of the previous dynasty, occupying the former palace, it is a shame for the Republic of China, and the Feng army will completely remove the cancer of zuihou today!"
