"Temptation, this is the temptation of nakedness! What should I do? Feng Yong thought with a frown. Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is definitely a temptation that cannot be refused for the development of the Northeast. But big opportunities inevitably lead to big troubles. If one does not respond well, the Northeast may even become the target of public criticism.

Feng Yong hadn't been so upset for a long time. Because he can't be sure what his decision will bring to the entire Northeast. After all, the Northeast has a big business, and its hard power is stronger than that of Beiyang. It's just a little bit less influential.

The world has undergone earth-shaking changes now, and Feng Yong no longer has an innate advantage, and all decisions have to rely on himself, which makes Feng Yong's heart grasp much smaller. After this period of study, Feng Yong's ability has improved a lot. But making a big decision that affects the life and death of the entire Northeast in a short period of time is a huge challenge for Feng Yong.

In the war room, Feng Yong stared at the map on the wall. There are two maps on it, one is the map of the Republic of China and the other is the map of the world. Judging from the map of the Republic of China, the territory occupied by the Northeast is more than half of that of the Republic of China. Although most of them are remote and barren areas, they have a large population. Such a piece of land ruled in Feng Yong's hands, which made him feel a sense of satisfaction every time he saw it. Especially those lands that were split in the original time and space, Feng Yong had an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, no matter how the situation developed, as long as he controlled the Northeast for a day, no country would want to snatch these border lands away. This is Feng Yong's insistence from the bottom of his heart.

"Xu Zheng, hand over the report of the Government Affairs Yuan to me!" Feng Yong said in a deep voice. The Government Council is now presided over by Wang Sa. As Li Jun's most important assistant, his performance is also very good. During Li Jun's absence, the entire government was put in order.

There is nothing wrong with the report of the Government Council, except that Wang Qi, the minister of finance, asked the Northeast Bank to vigorously issue paper money to replace the current metal currency.

The Northeast Governor's Office set up its own bank at the beginning of its establishment, and the wealth of the Manchu remnants robbed by Feng Yong was consumed through the Northeast Bank. It's just that at that time, in order to avoid the turmoil of prices in Northeast China, Li Jun took a very cautious attitude towards the issuance of Northeast banknotes. At present, the entire market in Tohoku is still used in paper money and metal money. This also restricts the economic development of Northeast China.

"I want Wang Qi to come to see me!" Feng Yong said. He knows that although the large-scale issuance of banknotes may cause some shock to the current market, after all, banknotes issued by local banks are not loved by private businessmen because of their safety. After all, no one can say for sure how long local governments will be able to exist. Once the local government collapses, these banknotes become waste paper.

Wang Qi has been in the Ministry of Finance for more than half a year now, and he has a calm temperament in his whole body, and his eyes are sharp, as if he can see through people's hearts. Feng Yong was very satisfied with Wang Qi's transformation. This let him know that Wang Qi was no longer the young boy he was half a year ago.

"Young marshal!" Wang Qi said respectfully.

"Baokang, don't be so restrained. I'm coming to you this time to ask you something. You are our finance minister in the Northeast, and no one knows the finances of the Northeast better than you. Feng Yong said with a smile. The current Feng Yongcheng Mansion is already very deep. After all, he has been in this position for so long, and all kinds of aura envelop him, which always makes him learn a lot.

"Young marshal, excuse me!"

"Can the finances of the Northeast support a long war?" Feng Yong asked.

"Can't!" Wang Qi said simply.

Feng Yong was stunned! He asked in surprise: "Aren't our government-controlled enterprises making money?" How can there be no money for war? ”

"The young marshal doesn't know that we have started countless infrastructure projects in the Northeast in the past six months. The road and rail network alone is a huge expense. This is still after we won the South Manchurian Railway. The original rebuilt railway line was abandoned. So the government's revenue is basically invested in the construction of infrastructure! Wang Qi said.

"It's winter now. Haven't a lot of projects stopped? Why do you need so much financial expenditure? Feng Yong said in surprise.

"The railway work is stopped. However, the construction of highways is still ongoing, and the reconstruction and demolition of the city require a lot of money. Wang Qi said carefully.

Feng Yong felt a secret headache.

"Young marshal, are you going to make a big move again?" Wang Qi asked with some excitement. After all, he is a young man in his twenties, although because he is in charge of the Ministry of Finance, his personality is much calmer. However, as the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and its nature is difficult to change. No matter how old young people are, Chengdu is not short of enthusiasm.

"You don't care about that. Without money, even if Young Marshal Ben wants to take action, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it! Feng Yong sighed depressedly. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive firewood The Northeast seems to have a huge foundation, but in fact, it is asking for money everywhere, and it costs money to improve the army's equipment and the government's infrastructure construction. The newly annexed areas need financial support, and the advancing armies also need weapons and ammunition, as well as food and grass. The development of the three eastern provinces is based on the consumption of a large amount of finance.

"Young marshal, we can borrow some money first! There is also the government's treasury that can squeeze out a part, and if a large number of paper money can be scraped together, these should add up enough to support an army of hundreds of thousands to fight a battle that is not particularly protracted. Wang Qi whispered.

"Even? Borrow money? Who to borrow? You don't want to borrow from a foreigner! No, absolutely not, this opening cannot be opened, once it is opened, there will be big trouble in the future! "If the Northeast borrows money from foreign countries, it will no longer be able to resist the erosion of foreign capital. And from the bottom of his heart, Feng Yong doesn't want to be controlled by others.

"Young Marshal, when I say borrowing money, I don't mean borrowing money from foreigners. There is a chamber of commerce in our northeast that is particularly rich. Wang Qi smiled as he spoke. This kind of laugh made Feng Yong a little inexplicable.

"Don't sell it, have something to say!" Feng Yong said with a frown.

"Young marshal, forgive me for being disrespectful, the richest person in our Northeast now is not the government, but you, the young marshal!" Wang Qi said.

"Me? What money do I have! Besides, mine is not governmental! Feng Yong shook his head and said. In his heart, he is a warlord, and the entire Northeast is his, so why bother to separate you and me.

"Young Marshal, the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Northeast China, and the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce is independent in organization and finance, and our Ministry of Finance can't manage it. Over the past year or so, the development of the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce has been terrifying, and it has become a real giant in the Northeast business community, and the current Mansfield Chamber of Commerce is even richer than our government. "Since the Mason Chamber of Commerce came to power, the capital has multiplied. And with Feng Yong's relationship, the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce has already extended its tentacles to all aspects of the Northeast. Some time ago, it monopolized most of the trade routes in the Ganning area, and with this road, the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce almost squeezed out the entire Southwest Governor's Palace. It can be said that in the entire Ganning Road, the profits of the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce accounted for the lion's share, and the enterprises of the Northeast Government and other scattered businessmen just drank some soup. Even if it is this soup, it has greatly increased the strength of the entire Northeast business community, and from here we can judge how much benefit the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce has obtained.

"Really?" Feng Yong was surprised, you must know that he rarely manages the affairs of the government, and Feng Yong, who came from later generations, knows the consequences of indiscriminate intervention. So, a lot of times, he just selects talents, gives the right people a stage to play, and then he monitors the operation of the whole government. As long as it is not a major issue of right and wrong, Feng Yong will not interfere in the operation of the government.

"Young marshal, subordinates don't dare to deceive!" Wang Qi said affirmatively.

"Okay! I know. When you go back now, you will mobilize all kinds of financial resources, and I am afraid that they will be used soon! Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"It seems that I really lack understanding of the women in my backyard!" Feng Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Tuoba Huiji is the most proficient of Feng Yong's many women, whether it is Mrs. Feng of the Feng family's Taishan Beidou, or Zhao Ya, who is now a noble mother and son. Tuoba Huiji can always dance with long sleeves and sort out the relationship between all parties in an orderly manner. And she is also the busiest of the girls. A lot of the time I don't see anyone. Feng Yong would marry her at that time, except that she was good-looking. The most important thing is to take a fancy to her business ability. The most important thing is that it has a strong political connotation, but now the two are also old husbands and wives, and their relationship has also surged a lot.

"Xu Zheng, send a telegram to the Southern Theater of Operations! Content: Execute Plan 1 and go south! Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Xu Zheng said excitedly.

Looking at Xu Zheng's excited back, Feng Yong muttered to himself: "It seems that the entire Northeast is waiting for me to make a decision!" ”

Beiyang's great defeat in the southwest not only questioned the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army from all quarters, but also the Beiyang government's finances were much tighter. Now the North Sea is like a giant moth. Although it is huge, the fangs have degenerated a lot. Because of his bloated body, it is difficult to exert strong combat effectiveness.

This has been seen by the top military and political leaders in Beiyang. is also looking forward to the young marshal being able to issue an order to send troops, swing his troops into the customs, and achieve the cause of the king. After all, this is the best chance for the Northeast to enter the customs.

"What do you guys know, you need money to fight! It seems that Ya'er will not be able to go to her room tonight. Huihee, this girl will be very happy! Feng Yong said with a wry smile. Now he also found that having sex would seriously slow down his cultivation speed of the Breathing and Breathing Technique. Now his breathing and breathing technique has been cultivated to the edge of Xiaocheng. has even touched the bottleneck of Xiaocheng. This is all thanks to Zhao Ya's pregnancy, and she hasn't touched a woman for more than a month in order to accompany her. This ascetic life made his breathing and breathing art improve rapidly. Of course, the result of abstinence was that when he sounded the fiery passion of Tuoba Huiji, his body reacted unconsciously.
