Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Your Excellency, Minister, this is Mr. Xu Shuzheng, Vice Minister of the Chinese Army." Kenji Doihara respectfully introduced Xu Shuzheng, who came to visit, to the new Japanese Minister Yukichi Kobata.

"Haha, hello Deputy Chief Xu, I heard about it when I was in Japan. You are a good friend of the Great Japanese Empire. I heard that you graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy." Xiaofanyouji mentioned very politely.

Xu Shuzheng nodded and said: "In a blink of an eye, it was ten years ago. It was the 31st year of Guangxu, and now it is the Republic of China. Mr. Minister, our country has changed a lot in the past year. I believe you The government has also seen

Xiao Fan Youji also nodded: "The empire has been paying attention to the great changes in your country, and at the same time, we are also very worried. We don't know why the rebels in the south were pardoned in the end, and they even organized their own government. We I really want to know what the central government of your country thinks? Why is it in this situation?"

Xu Shuzheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's very simple. We don't have the money to continue the war. In fact, the government not only continues the war, but even the expenditure of the existing army is very difficult. And we don't know the British and French governments. What do you think? Under such circumstances, you actually choose to hand over the customs of the nine southern provinces to the rebel government. This not only increases our burden, but also reduces our income. In the long run, we don’t even need to send troops. Finances can drain our government and bring it down."

Xiaofan Youji seemed to have known that Xu Shuzheng would say that, he smiled and exchanged a look with Kenji Doihara.

Kenji Doihara quickly sat up straight and said: "Deputy Chief Xu, the Empire of Japan has never been stingy with its friends. If you and Chief Duan need help, we will spare no effort. In fact, we have an idea, which is to ask Your government is in this war, declaring war on Germany, and if that happens, we will..."

Iron Lion Alley Yuan Mansion, here is no longer the presidential palace of the Republic of China.In less than a month, Yuan Shikai's name was no longer mentioned, as if he had never been in this world.

And his old Beiyang men disappeared without a trace after mourning, and Yuan Shikai's children suddenly changed from the favored sons of heaven to pheasants with hairless hair, and no one cares about them.

In order to avoid family division after his death, Yuan Shikai made a special will: "The sons will each receive more than [-] yuan in cash, more than [-] shares of various stocks, and each of them will allocate more than [-] rooms. More than [-] yuan. The daughters each share more than [-] yuan in cash, and have no other property. The mothers live with their children and do not give money."

That is to say, the property that our classmate Yuan Jingxue can get now is 4 oceans, which is equivalent to about 0 catties of flour on the market, which can be eaten for [-] years. Yuan Shikai has done his calculations carefully.It's a pity that he didn't consider the so-called inflation, he didn't consider the problem of leisure and work, and the problem of unworthy children and grandchildren.As a result, the third generation of the Yuan family in history began to engage in the profession of beggars. Who could have imagined that the grandson of Yuan Shikai, who was once famous, lived by begging? Who could have imagined that Yuan Shikai’s son starved to death on the street?So don't ignore the significance of education at any time, because what can be passed on is always knowledge, and wealth and power cannot be passed on.

Yuan Jingxue has been a little annoyed recently. Ever since her father died, the elder brothers in the family have started to split up. Some have moved to Tianjin and some have moved to Henan. The Zong family no longer has a family.Although in the eyes of the people of the whole country, her father is a great thief, but in Yuan Jingxue's heart, her father is a big tree and she can rely on her.But now that this dependence is gone, my current third concubine, Mrs. Jin, is an honest and responsible person.Yuan Jingxue now feels that she is in a mess, so taking advantage of the fact that no one is in charge of the family these days, she sneaks out to go boating in the North Sea with Miss Lu's family, and there she accidentally crossed with a young man on the same boat.

Regardless of Yuan Jingxue's 17-year-old Mood for Love, she knows a little bit about the relationship between a man and a woman. She has read The Story of the West Chamber and The Story of the White Snake.So she could still understand the eyes of the middle-sized young man with good features, so after getting off the boat, she shyly pulled Miss Lu and ran away without even knowing his name.Hate!

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard his mother Jin shout: "Uncle Zhen, Miss Lu's family is here to look for you."

Yuan Jingxue looked back, and it turned out to be Lu Xiaoman's younger sister, who was one year younger than herself: "Sister, why are you here?"

Lu Xiaoman pretended to be mysterious and said: "Go and play with you, there is someone who wants to see you."

Yuan Jingxue was taken aback and said, "Who wants to see me? It's so mysterious."

Lu Xiaoman looked at Yuan Jingxue with a smile and said: "Hehe, my sister, just pretend to be confused, do you remember the last time you rowed in Beihai?"

Yuan Jingxue blushed immediately, she quickly covered Lu Xiaoman's mouth, and then said to Jin: "Mother, I want to go out for a while."

The Kim family is a Korean, a concubine presented to Yuan Shikai by the last king of North Korea.She gave birth to Yuan Shikai's sons Yuan Kewen and Yuan Keliang and this daughter Yuan Jingxue.Yuan Kewen sent it to his aunt who had no children since she was a child, so after the separation, she could only live with Yuan Keliang and Yuan Jingxue according to Yuan Shikai's will, so she didn't dare to ask about Yuan Jingxue's affairs at all.

Yuan Jingxue followed Lu Xiaoman into the rickshaw and ran all the way to Beihai, only to see Wang Zhenpeng and Wang Geng were already waiting there.

"It's you, you want to see me?" Yuan Jingxue blushed after asking this question.

Wang Zhenpeng nodded quickly and said: "Last time, last time, last time you and Miss were lucky enough to be on the same boat, that, that..."

It was also the first time for Wang Zhenpeng to deal with girls, and his face turned red and he stuttered.

Lu Xiaoman was still a big kid, she pulled Wang Geng over and said, "Let's rent a boat and let them say, let's go!"

The younger brother over there is busy picking up girls, and the older brother here is not idle either.He just severely punished Zhao Yuting who dared to seduce him in the office. To be honest, this woman is really too alluring, especially her breasts, which attracted him deeply like a penis.

Dressed up, Wang Zhenbang came in, holding the urban planning and construction map of Wuhan in his hand.According to the agreement, once they join the war, Britain and France will take the lead in revoking the concession in Hankou.Maybe the concessions in Shanghai and Guangzhou are still nothing, but Wang Zhenyu feels somewhat uncomfortable when he thinks that there are foreign fleets around him.Therefore, the Hankou Concession was also added to the negotiation terms of the expeditionary force, and Britain and France also expressed a good understanding of this.

According to this spirit, Wang Zhenbang convened a group of experts to plan the urban construction of Wuhan. Many of these experts participated in the construction of Anjiang and Liuzhou new cities.

Wang Zhenyu looked at the drawings carefully and said: "This plan is not bad, but it's still a bit stingy. I remember I told my father-in-law that I left 0 billion of the 10 million yuan for urban construction. Yes. Wuhan is different from Anjiang and Liuzhou. It is a major transportation hub and it is close to the Yangtze River, so it is prone to waterlogging. Therefore, there are two most important things for construction here. The first is that the roads should be wide and the planning should be generous. The drainage facilities should be top-notch, larger and more practical than those in Anjiang. Can you add more money? Fifth brother, the third brother will give you a solid background. The French earned 9 million US dollars (the transaction price was 300 US dollars per ton, six times the non-war price, but not 13% less than the American Bethlehem, which was seven times the non-war price), Do you know how much it is? 5000 billion customs silver, 135 billion Chinese yuan. And next year, there will be at least more than 40 billion yuan of income every year."

Wang Zhenyu felt refreshed physically and mentally at the moment. He stood up and said, "We not only want to build Wuhan, we also want to build railways from Luyang to Changsha, from Jiujiang to Ganzhou, and from Nanchang to Xiamen. It feels really good to be rich, so You need to change this plan, be more generous, and assume that Wuhan is the center of the entire Central South, a world-class metropolis, go! "

After Wang Zhenbang left, Liu Guojun, who was then the industrial director of the China Development Corporation, and Lieutenant General Ma Xicheng of the Armament Department came together, and they brought the latest industrial construction plan.

Wang Zhenyu took a closer look. In the next five years, Liu Guojun's plan is to build a steel plant with an annual output of 300 million tons and a cement plant with an annual output of 200 million tons in Anjiang, Liuzhou, Wuhan, and Ma'anshan. If the package plan including the chemical plant is to be realized, the minimum investment is expected to be no less than 60 billion Chinese yuan.At present, the fiscal revenue of the national government that controls the territory of nine provinces has basically come out. The customs revenue is about 15 million Chinese yuan, the land tax and commercial tax are about 6 billion Chinese yuan, and the lijin tax has been passed by Wang Zhenyu through Zhang Taiyan at the National Assembly. The order is repealed.In other words, once this plan is implemented, the fiscal revenue for three years will be gone. This also includes the investment after the six-year compulsory education bill in nine provinces just passed by the National Assembly. It is estimated that [-] million Chinese yuan will be invested in compulsory education every year. educate.In a word, the government's current money can't afford to support the army under Wang Zhenyu's command. Wang Zhenyu is paying for the army himself, and he has to pay for industrial construction. Such a country is very abnormal.But there is no way, Wang Zhenyu must be so perverted, otherwise who knows what inexplicable places the money will be invested once the finances are concentrated.Wang Zhenyu is very clear about the virtues of his compatriots. He doesn't want to believe in the character of politicians, because he himself is not a good thing.

Wang Zhenyu signaled the two to sit down: "I think we need to change our thinking. The production capacity of these industrial projects is what we need, and it is very dangerous to digest all products by export. We'd better make the people under our jurisdiction rich. rise up and become purchasing power, so that our production capacity can have the opportunity to expand. The essence of our national socialism is to let our government play the role of regulator in this process, so we want to expand production, and let our army Becoming the biggest consumer is inevitable. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Liu Guojun and Ma Xicheng shook their heads. . .
