Treasury bonds can help them to flow a certain amount of funds, but this is still far from enough, at least, they have to prepare 200 million funds, of course, the source of these 200 million, then from Britain and France and other countries, to borrow.

Wu Tingfang has returned to Beijing since the surrender of the imperial court, presiding over the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Liu Jun thought for a while, if he wanted to take out a loan to Britain and France, he would have to communicate with the British and French Embassy, so it was the most appropriate time to leave this matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with.

"Isn't it too late, it's almost twelve o'clock, why don't you call tomorrow?"

This, Liu Jun looked at the time, indeed, it was already eleven forty-five, at this time, Wu Tingfang had already fallen asleep, and it made no sense to bother again, not to mention, taking out a loan with Britain and France is not something that can be completed in a day or two.

"Okay, then let him come over tomorrow." Liu Jun, who thought of this, thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

Early the next morning. Zheng Yiqian got up early in the morning, she remembered Liu Jun's words yesterday very clearly, that is, she wanted to see Wu Tingfang today, so after getting up, Zheng Yiqian did not go to Renshou Palace, but went directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find Wu Tingfang.

As soon as she entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zheng Yiqian saw that Wu Tingfang was already in the office.

"Old Wu, are you there?" After entering, Zheng Yiqian opened her mouth to ask questions.

Wu Tingfang was originally so old, even if it was Liu Jun, he would call Wu Tingfang Wu Lao when he was in person, so for such a name, Wu Tingfang, who raised his head, put down the documents in his hand and looked at Zheng Yiqian with a puzzled expression, he was very puzzled, how could Zheng Yiqian come here.

Normally, it is Zhong Lin who comes to convey orders, but today, Zheng Yiqian came here in person, and this is what makes Wu Tingfang puzzled.

"Dashuai asked you to go to Renshou Hall immediately, he has something to discuss with you." Seeing Wu Tingfang's doubts, Zheng Yiqian said directly.

Well, I heard that Liu Jun wanted to see him, Wu Tingfang immediately closed the documents in his hand and went out with Zheng Yiqian

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not far from Renshou Palace, and about ten minutes later, Zheng Yiqian and Wu Tingfang appeared in Renshou Palace, and at this time, Liu Jun had already begun to work.

Seeing that it was Wu Tingfang coming in, Liu Jun directly opened the drawer, took out a document from it and handed it to Wu Tingfang.

According to the situation in Britain and France, Liu Jun decided to borrow 60 million from Britain, 40 million from France, and the rest with Germany, Austria-Hungary and the United States. In this way, there will be nearly 300 million yuan, and after adding the treasury bonds that will be carried out directly and immediately, the funds in one's own hands will be completely able to turn over at that time, and there will be a surplus.

"Dashuai wants to borrow money from them?" Wu Tingfang, who looked at the documents, asked.

That's what it means, Liu Jun nodded, and then said: "Yes Wu Lao, after the political situation in the southwest is stabilized, I need to build a lot of southwest China, but our finances are temporarily in difficulty, so I plan to borrow money from them." Speaking of this, Liu Jun glanced at Wu Tingfang's expression, and then said, "Is there any difficulty?" ”

There are no difficulties, but Wu Tingfang has never been in contact with this aspect, at the beginning, the imperial court also took loans from Britain and France, but that was Li Hongzhang was responsible, and he didn't interfere at all, besides, he didn't understand the financial aspect at all, if he was tricked by Britain and France, he didn't know.

"There will be no problem then, but I don't know how to finance, and even if I inform the British and French embassies of this, I don't understand the rules." After Wu Tingfang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Jun with an aggrieved expression.

This is a thing, Wu Tingfang is a good hand in diplomacy, but in terms of finance, he is really not good, he looked down and thought for a while, Liu Jun looked at Wu Tingfang in front of him, Okay, I will let the Ministry of Finance cooperate with you. “

With the assistance of the Ministry of Finance, this matter is much easier, and immediately, Wu Tingfang nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely get this matter done." ”

Wu Tingfang's words, Liu Jun believes that as long as the two things are done from his mouth, he will be able not to interfere.

Therefore, after Wu Tingfang left, Liu Jun was not entangled in the loan issue of Britain and France, but asked Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side.

"What has Clinder been doing all this time?"

Clint had already left Liaodong and went to Japan to serve as his Japanese governor. Now, in Beijing, is Clinder's nephew, Eiffel.

Listening to Liu Jun ask Clinde, Zheng Yiqian knew that Liu Jun wanted to discuss this matter with Clint about the loan with Germany.

Looking down and thinking for a while, Zheng Yiqian looked at Liu Jun in front of her, and then said: "Since he went to Japan, he has been suppressing rebellions in various places during this time. ”

Rebellion, remembered, since the surrender of Japan. Japan's rebellions in various places have never stopped, especially in the German occupation areas and the Tsarist occupation areas, that is, there are people making trouble every day, compared to their own Dongzhou, that is hell.

Although there were also rebellions in Dongzhou, they were far less common than those occupied by Germany and Tsarist Russia, and this was due to the fact that after dealing with the occupied areas and the people, the way they dealt with them was not the same.

German Tsarist Russia, that is, regarded the Japanese occupation zone as a colony, a place of exploitation of property, therefore, not to say that it was for the people to eat, it was eager to divide half of the food of the people, and such a thing, whoever did not rebel, it was all fake.

However, in Dongzhou, which is still the former headquarters of Kyushu and the southwest region, Liu Jun implements the same policy as Liaodong, that is, not only does he regard the original Japanese as natives, but even in terms of land reform, they are exactly the same, and he will not be less divided because he is Japanese.

No matter what the country, the people are the most basic personnel, once the people have something to eat, then there is no need to worry about anything, on the contrary, once the people are hungry and afraid, and they are in a hurry, they will rebel at that time.

The answer to this point can be obtained from the current Tsarist Russia and Germany.

It's time for him to get his muscles on the move, for so many years, he has played well enough, and when he heard that Klinder was suppressing the rebellion in the occupied area, Liu Jun smiled slightly, and then said: "Send him a telegram and let him take time to come back." And the sooner the better. “

Zheng Yiqian knew that Liu Jun was going to let Clint return to Beijing to discuss this matter. Immediately, she walked out, ready to send this telegram to Clinder herself, after all, the current correspondence with Clinder was secret. (To be continued.) )
