Zhao Bingjun sat on the chair and did not move: "Yes, take the time to attend the State Council." What, can't Zhao come? ”

Tang Shaoyi laughed dryly: "What are these words?" As the Minister of Internal Affairs, Brother Zhi'an should attend the State Council in a timely manner. It's just that a few years ago, I heard that you were sick and lying quietly in the mansion to recuperate, and Tang and his cabinet colleagues were very concerned, and they all wished Brother Zhi'an a speedy recovery and attended the meeting as soon as possible. It was a great surprise to suddenly see Brother Zhi'an attending state affairs today! ”

Zhao Bingjun didn't appreciate it at all: "Zhao has always been strong, and the previous ones were as usual, the reason why he didn't attend the State Council was because Zhao was too lazy to come over." As for Zhao's attendance at the State Council today, it is estimated that Prime Minister Shaochuan is not half happy, but he is surprised by ten out of ten, right? ”

Seeing Zhao Bingjun dismantling the platform like this, how could Tang Shaoyi not understand his intention? I snorted at the moment, went straight to the seat of the head and sat down, took out a stack of documents from my briefcase, and then asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what are the proposals of the various ministries today?" ”

..

Song Jiaoren, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, spoke first: "On behalf of the southern provinces, I will propose a bill to ask the Senate of the State Council to approve the establishment of an inspection bureau to investigate and reward those who have made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country. ”

Zhao Bingjun glanced at Song Jiaoren: "Isn't this a matter of our Ministry of Internal Affairs?" When will it be the turn of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to take over? It's a ridiculous joke! ”

Song Jiaoren immediately retorted and ridiculed: "Your Ministry of Internal Affairs is a vegetarian meal, and you don't seek politics in your position, don't you allow others to interfere?" ”

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly explained: "Chief Zhi'an doesn't know that the State Council wants everyone to express their opinions on the current state affairs. Save the deviation and save the disadvantages, and do not have to stick to the departments under their respective charges, so the proposal of the chief executive is not arrogant. ”

Zhao Bingjun snorted coldly. No more talking.

Song Jiaoren continued: "Although the Republic of China was established not long ago, in the last 20 years, righteous people from all over the country were determined to drive out the Tartars and restore China. The dead have been reduced to a pinch of loess, and they are silent. and even suffered a reputation for being a thief; The meritorious person has exhausted his family wealth, is injured or sick, or is inevitably hungry, cold and poor. If the state does not give praise. How to comfort the deceased and exhort the comer?

"Many people think that the best reward for meritorious revolutionary personnel is to give an official and a half-post, but they don't know that using an official position as a reward is the same as not rewarding meritorious service, which will seriously damage the image of zhèngfǔ. What's more, there are many meritorious soldiers. And what about the limited number of official positions created by the state? Therefore, there is an urgent need to set up an audit bureau. Investigate and count the meritorious officials of the founding country, distinguish the level of rewards and pensions that should be given to each person, and formulate corresponding reward terms. Like the gentry who were expropriated before and after the restoration and financed the revolution, they should also be given a certain amount of compensation to show their credibility. ”

Duan Qirui immediately asked: "May I ask the chief of Dunchu, are the officers and men of the Beiyang Army who died in Hubei last year also among the bereavement awards?" ”

Song Jiaoren sneered: "At the beginning, the Beiyang Army was willing to be the eagle dog of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and went south to strangle the revolution. As a result, countless casualties have been caused to the rebels and civilians, and the failure to investigate their crimes after the founding of the People's Republic of China is already considered an extrajudicial favor. Do they still want a bereavement reward? Mr. Shiba Quan is too whimsical! ”

Duan Qirui said: "According to what the chief said at the beginning of the year, the only people who can receive the pension reward are you revolutionaries?" ”

Song Jiaoren replied confidently: "That's nature! Who gives us the most credit to the revolutionaries? ”

Zhao Bingjun said at this time: "The proposal to set up an audit bureau may be renegotiable, Zhao only cares about one issue, what the chief executive said is both reward and compensation, where does this money come from?" Now the treasury is empty, and the rats are starving to death. If Zhao is not mistaken, the problem of borrowing money for the aftermath of the last disarmament has not been resolved, right? By the way, Prime Minister Shaochuan, I heard that you rejected the loan conditions of the six countries' banking group, what is going on? ”

Everyone present was shocked: It seems that this is the reason why Zhao Bingjun deliberately participated in the State Council today, and it seems that the finale is about to start!

Tang Shaoyi took out an agreement from the stack of documents in front of him, and said with a smile: "Tang originally planned to discuss this matter with your colleagues later, but now that the chief of Zhi'an specially asked, it is better to discuss this issue first!" ”

Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Tang Shaoyi continued: "When the State Council was established, the president personally came and delivered a speech, pointing out that the primary task of the current government is to quickly clarify military affairs, so as to achieve the purpose of avoiding fiscal deficits, reducing the burden on the people, and maintaining the normal operation of the government. In accordance with the instructions of the President, the Cabinet began to solve the problem of clarifying military affairs, and found that the root cause of the problem was how to dismiss redundant soldiers. As for the dismissal of redundant soldiers, most of the soldiers in the north are veterans of a hundred battles, and most of the people in the south are revolutionary heroes, and severance pay is indispensable, otherwise countless incidents will be caused. According to the estimate, the amount of expenses is more than 3 million yuan.

"As the chief minister of Zhi'an just said, the treasury is empty, and the only way to raise this huge amount of money is to borrow money. After Tang reported to the president, he discussed the loan with a group of banks of six countries with preferential borrowing rights in accordance with the relevant agreement. The group of banks of the six countries agreed to borrow, but with the condition attached, that is, to supervise the country's finances. This condition seriously undermines the sovereignty of the state, and it is naturally difficult for Tang to agree."

Zhao Bingjun abruptly interrupted Tang Shaoyi's statement: "Premier Shaochuan, as far as Zhao knows, the so-called conditions for the banking group of the six countries to supervise China's finances are only two aspects: supervising the use of funds and supervising the demobilization of the army, how can it seriously damage the sovereignty of the country?" ”

This Zhao Bingjun is slightly the same as what Sun Yuanqi saw as a hero!

Just when Sun Yuanqi pinched a sweat for Tang Shaoyi, Tang Shaoyi replied: "Although the six countries of Britain, the United States, Germany, France and Russia did not act excessively after the establishment of the Republic of China, they were full of bad deeds in the former Qing Dynasty, not to mention the burning of the Old Summer Palace, the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle and other old things, ten years ago, the Eight-Nation Alliance broke through the capital, causing the emperor and queen to hunt in the west, and finally signed the "Xinchou Treaty" to compensate the eight countries for 980 million taels of silver. I think the chief of Ji'an still remembers this incident vividly, right?

"The so-called 'you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to defend people', and these six countries are all in the Eight-Nation Alliance, who knows if they will not come back in the future? According to Tang, it is false for the bank group of the six countries to supervise the use of funds and dismiss the army, and it is true to inquire about the deployment of our first force and military equipment! Wouldn't this seriously harm national interests and endanger national sovereignty? ”

Zhao Bingjun spit out four words: "People are worried!" ”

"It's not that people are worried about the sky, but that the past does not forget the future!" Tang Shaoyi corrected: "It is precisely in view of this that Tang saw that the bank group of the six countries insisted on supervising the conditions of China's finances, so he had to politely decline and find another home. After several rounds of selection and negotiation, Bloomage Bank, which has become famous, was finally selected as the borrower, and Bloomage Bank agreed to borrow 5 million yuan, and the conditions were also very favorable, with an annual interest of only three percent. And the interest rate of the bank group of the six countries is 5%! ”

Zhao Bingjun said: "I'm afraid that the conditions we give are also very 'favorable', right?" ”

"Our condition is to use the income and property of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway as a guarantee to give Bloomage Bank the right to issue currency nationwide." Since the signed agreement had to be approved by the cabinet, it was natural that all the terms would be made public, so Tang Shaoyi did not hide it.

Zhao Bingjun was surprised: "What? You actually want to give the right to issue currency to Bloomage Bank? ”

He actually knew the right to issue money, which shows that he was prepared.

Tang Shaoyi did not move: "Yes! At present, the country's financial market is chaotic and there are many types of currencies, which seriously hinder the circulation of goods and economic development, and there is an urgent need for a certain bank to unify the currency. The silver dollar carved jīng issued by Bloomage Bank has been widely circulated in the Yangtze River basin and gradually spread to the whole country, and I think everyone here has used it. Since it already has a currency issue, why not give it a false name now? ”

Zhao Bingjun's eyes widened: "But Bloomage Bank is a foreign bank, how can we give it the right to issue currency?" ”

Tang Shaoyi said lightly: "Who said that Bloomage Bank is a foreign bank? It's just a lie! As far as Tang knows, almost 100% of the shareholders of Bloomage Bank are Chinese nationals, how can it be a foreign bank? ”

Zhao Bingjun suddenly jumped up: "Nonsense! Who doesn't know that the manager of Bloomage Bank is an American woman? Tang Shaochuan, do you think you can fool everyone here by talking nonsense? ”

At this time, Zhang Jian said softly: "The old man heard that Ms. Lilith, the manager of Bloomage Bank, has become a Chinese citizen. Baixi, don't you say? ”

Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to reply: "What Si Weng said is right! At the end of last year, in order to solve the shortage of silver dollars in Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places, Bloomage Bank and Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces jointly issued currency. ”

Zhao Bingjun was suddenly angry, and pointed his finger at Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Jian and others: "You, you ......!" ”

Tang Shaoyi said unconsciously: "Do you have any other opinions?" If there is no opinion, then let's vote by show of hands! With that, he raised his arm.

Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Jian, and Tang Shouqian naturally voted in favor, and Song Jiaoren and Wang Chonghui also quickly raised their hands in favor. In this way, even if all five people from the Yuan family, including Zhao Bingjun, Duan Qirui, and Liu Guanxiong, and the centrist Lu Zhengxiang and Xiong Xiling, voted against, these bills could be passed by a simple majority in the State Council.

Without waiting for the remaining few people to express their positions, Zhao Bingjun said hatefully: "Anyway, the agreement will be sealed at the Grand Presidential Palace." Even if you barely pass in the cabinet, you won't be able to get along with the president! With that, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving everyone in the conference room staring wide-eyed. (To be continued.) )

ps: Lazy muscles are committed again, the code word is a little out of state, and there are 3,000 words in front of me. I'm sorry!!
