Seeing that everyone was too excited, especially Zhang Hongyang seemed to be restless, Fang Hongxin's face was also ugly, Wang Maoru smiled indifferently, and then ordered everyone to pour tea and talk while eating, which relieved the feelings. It's not that Wang Maoru is not angry, but this kind of thing is too normal, and the Chinese people have a good impression of white people, thinking that white people are good, excellent, and advanced, don't you know that this is just a kind of cultural invasion carried out by white people. The ancient sages said well, non-our race will have different hearts, and the white people are eager to exterminate all the yellow race, which even the Japanese can see clearly, but many Chinese people can't see clearly

Moreover, it is not a day or two for foreign powers to unite to pong China, or a hundred years later, Europe has also done everything possible to pong the rising China, and even imposed sanctions on various fields of China several times, and arbitrarily revised the anti-dumping law against China to combat China's rise. Especially with France as the most, France is the first pioneer in the world, while Germany is the world's largest base camp, and the United States is the first leader, and the reason why whites are doing everything possible is to target the rise of the yellow race. Looking at the world, only China can lead the rise of the yellow race. After all, the great Chinese nation is ahead of the world by a few years, only a hundred years behind, as long as the whites with long brains know that China is the biggest problem in the white world.

Why are Caucasians good to blacks? Because blacks have no brains, only bodies. Why do Caucasians curb the yellow race, because the yellow race has brains. Wang Maoru thought of these and sighed, the rise of China has a long way to go. You can't rush for a while, you can't rush it, but fortunately, I'm not old now. He is only 34 years old, and as long as he lives for 20 years and takes China on the right path for 20 years, he will die and leave a happy foundation for future generations

After Zang Hao hurriedly poured tea for everyone, Pan Fu took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly, and continued: "Who made my country weak. Even if 80 percent of China's fiscal revenue is equal to military investment, it will be difficult for us to become a military power. ”

Wang Maoru interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Wait." Eighty percent of our country's fiscal revenue is now spent on the military? Such a large proportion of military spending? ”

Pan Fu said: "Yes, the military expenses of the provincial armies also need to be paid by the central government. ”

Wang Maoru thought it was funny that the military expenses of the provinces had to be paid by the central government, and the provincial armies had to announce that the poisonous Li was going to blackmail the central government. Then he asked, "Chief Pan." What advice do you have on military affairs and military spending? ”

Pan Fu hurriedly apologized and said: "I am only a financial talent, and I don't know anything about the army, and I don't have any opinions. ”

Wang Mao was like a head, knowing in his heart that this Pan Fu didn't understand, how could a person who did this position not understand the truth, but the matter equivalent to cutting the feudal domain offended people too deeply and too much, how could he, an acting chief financial officer, dare to do this. So Wang Maoru smiled and then changed the topic and asked: "What do you think the Ministry of Finance needs to do immediately?" In addition to the difficulty of changing the dollar settlement in France. ”

Pan Fu didn't think about it and said: "The most urgent thing now is my country's tariffs, and since the end of the Qing Dynasty, my country's tariffs have been in the hands of foreigners. All of them will be placed in the Joint Committee of Directors of the Banks of Shanghai Countries, and then they will settle the part of the Gengzi indemnity, the part of the tariff, and other consumption expenses, and finally return the balance to the Chinese government. However, the Joint Committee of Directors of Banks in Shanghai is composed of three banks, each of which has three foreign banks in China. ”

Zhang Hongyang said: "Wait, first put the money in the three banks and then settle, so how to calculate the interest?" Is the huge annual interest of the customs so much that the committee eats it up? ”

Pan Fu sighed: "Yes. ”

At this time, even Wang Maoru was not calm, and said angrily: "Shameless! ”

Pan Fu said: "The Joint Committee of Directors of Banks in Shanghai eats up our huge annual interest on the one hand, and on the other hand, lends customs taxes to Chinese people or investments, which is really a cancer in China. ”

Wang Maoru sneered: "These will have to be taken back sooner or later, but not now." ”

Zhang Hongyang said: "It is better to immediately ask for the settlement of the Huaxia National Bank...... but I feel that this construction is hasty, and it involves all foreign banks, especially the American Citibank, which has deep negotiations with Wang Maoru, if it is taken back rashly, China's good situation will definitely face collapse.

Wang Maoru turned his head to look at Fang Hongxin, who had not spoken, and asked, "Zicheng, what do you have to say, the future finance minister can't be silent, right?" ”

Fang Hongxin said with a smile: "Let's solve an immediate problem first, one is to coordinate the number of central government staff and salaries, and check the problem of empty salaries and salaries. Second, it is time to stop the preferential treatment of 400 taels of silver equivalent to 5 million oceans to the Forbidden City every year. Third, I calculated before, last year, that is, in the eighth year of the Republic of China, after deducting the Gengzi indemnity, my country's tariffs were only 7.19 million yuan, and the 7.19 million yuan will not be returned until June this year, but the position has not been given so far, and it needs to be asked. Fourth, integrate mining resources, recover state-owned, and investigate the collusion of foreign nationals to encroach on China's resources

of profiteers. Here's what needs to be done in the next year. ”

Wang Maoru laughed and lined his shoulders and said: "Okay, Zicheng, if you have an idea, you do it, I will support you in the back, if anyone disobeys you, I will lead the troops to destroy him first." ”

Zhang Kuian arrived in Wuhan, Hubei by airship, it was already more than three in the afternoon, Cao Kun warmly welcomed Zhang Kuian's arrival, for this young man, Cao Kun is still more admired, with a three-inch tongue can start a business, his talent is naturally not said to be popular.

But at this time, Zhang Kuian's arrival is actually a matter of course, after the fight, we have to talk, everything is easy to talk about, it is impossible for the direct family to be beaten to death with a stick, and the direct line will not be beaten to death by a stick. Since you can't die, let's negotiate well.

Zhang Kuian brought Wang Maoru's conditions, because Xu Shichang was the president elected by the Anfu department, and the legitimacy of the Anfu Congress is still up for debate. Therefore, in the future, for the sake of national stability, it is really difficult to say whether the parliamentary union is illegal or not, and if we want a republic between the north and the south in the future, we must elect parliamentarians and parliaments that are trusted by both the north and the south, and we must also re-elect the president in the future. Wang Maoru meant that he hoped that Cao Kun would be able to participate in the election and wished him the presidency of the Republic of China. After learning the conditions, Cao Kun summoned his confidants and told everyone about Wang Maoru's conditions, and said strangely: "What kind of medicine is sold in Wang Xiusheng's gourd?" ”

Cao Rui said: "It doesn't matter what kind of medicine he is, in short, it's not a good medicine, the surname Wang is not a good thing, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until we are almost done to pick up fruits to eat." ”

Cao Kun thought for a while and said, "Do we agree or not?" ”

"Promise, third brother, do you still want to fight? If you fight Henan, Hubei, and Hunan again, you won't have seen it, good guys, the sky is full of their heavenly soldiers and generals. Cao Rui said fearfully.

In fact, as soon as Zhang Kuian arrived in Wuhan, Hubei, he first visited Cao Kun's two closest confidants, Cao Rui and Li Yanqing, and promised to accept the reorganization of the direct army in the future, Cao Rui became the mayor of Tianjin, and Li Yanqing became the chief financial officer of the Railway Management Office of the Ministry of Communications.

Cao Kun's henchman Li Yanqing quietly walked up to him and said, "Dashuai, we don't have the money to fight." ”

Cao Kun was taken aback and said, "How can there be no money? ”

Hearing Cao Kun ask himself, Li Yanqing, who has always been more greedy, also had to tell the truth, and said: "The marshal doesn't know anything, where does he need money to mobilize the army and settle down on the march?" In the Qingyuan battle alone, the money we gave to the sergeant was 200,000 oceans, so the sergeant was unwilling to come forward. Marshal, now the plan for the present is to raise money, if there is no money, there will be no army, and if there is no army, there will be no dependence. Why is General Shangwu not afraid of war, he has money, and he can afford to raise the navy, so he can fight. Look at his soldiers, all screaming and screaming, as if they had eaten opium paste, why? It's not that their soldiers are well paid and rich. How much money can General Shangwu make with a Huaxia bank? Over the years, he has opened coal mines, iron mines, and gold mines outside the Guan, and has also attracted businessmen from all over the country to invest, so he has the money and strength to go south. Dashuai, we also need to be rich. ”

Cao Kun was not in a hurry to meet Zhang Kuian for a detailed discussion, he was waiting for the attitude of the British, and Zhang Kuian was eager to buy Cao Kun's men, and he was not in a hurry to say goodbye to him. And the attitude of the British is also very ambiguous, both sides must not be offended, it is better to maintain the status quo, plus the British ambassador Zhu Erdian is about to retire, and he does not want to offend the Chinese establishment at such a critical moment, so Britain is silent.

The direct family couldn't wait, especially Cao Rui persuaded Cao Kun in his ears every day, and Li Yanqing was also dissatisfied with Wu Peifu, so he joined forces with Cao Qi and others in the hope of attacking Wu Peifu. Cao Kun waited for two days before giving a banquet to Zhang Kuian, and said with a smile: "The people want peace, and we also want peace, but you also know that the Anhui system was aggressive before." Now the Anhui system still controls the central government, and the Anfu system is responsible for the Congress, and the central government can't help us people survive. ”

Zhang Kuian smiled: "Is Vice President Cao going one step further?" ”

Cao Kun's eyes widened, and he was surprised: "What do you mean by this? "My heart beat noticeably faster.

Zhang Kuian said with a smile: "Now that President Xu Shichang is operating unfavorably, the country is in turmoil, and the Congress is being manipulated by people with intentions, and it has become a private stick for some people." Wu Ziyu hates the Anfu Congress, why doesn't Xiushuai hate it? It's just that things need to be done slowly, and they also need to be explained and accepted slowly, and the marshal can't be in a hurry, and the marshal may be able to participate in the presidential election in two years' time. If you get the support of Xiu Shuai, the dream of a handsome president can be realized immediately. ”

Cao Kun breathed quickly and said, "Wang Xiusheng is willing to support me?" ”

Zhang Kuian said with a smile: "Xiu Shuai only supports interests, if Cao Dashuai gives Xiu Shuai enough benefits, isn't it what Da Shuai wants?" ”

Cao Kun said: "Wait, let me think about it. ”

Zhang Kuian smiled: "Shuai, please." He sat with Erlang's legs crossed, drinking tea and watching them discuss, as if he was not in a hurry, and looked out the window in a limited way. (To be continued.) )
