Before Chen **** and Ma Yin first met Song Jiaoren, Song Jiaoren was in the Wenhua Hall restlessly, and the first few **** made a special trip to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan to understand the problem of changing jobs of the mulberry farmers -- the Inspectorate reluctantly passed the agricultural loan, and the mulberry farmers who were willing to cut mulberry trees and plant grain and cotton could get an agricultural loan to survive the difficult period of changing jobs.

In addition to the mulberry farmers, there were also cocoon collectors, squires who managed the ovens, and large and small silk reeling factories and weaving and forging factories, and these people knelt down in front of him with a group of unemployed workers, and their tears were crying out, so that he could not get out of it at all. Indeed, the Sannong suffered heavy losses, and the silk workers suffered even heavier losses. The two lakes in the south of the Yangtze River were originally densely populated, and the land reform could not divide much land, and the eldest farmer within a household could only exclude the work when he was old, and now the silk industry is withering, and these silk workers are hungry and cold, and they are already going to sell their children......

This is true in small towns, but in Shanghai, as well as in large cities along the river and along the road, the economic crisis has made cinemas and movie theaters surprisingly popular. In order to make a few dramas popular, rich people often spend thousands of dollars. The poor are poor, the rich are rich, after walking through the Jiangnan completely, Song Jiaoren couldn't help but feel a kind of grief and indignation: Why, some people spend all day drinking, but some people can't eat? Why, some people have a lot of money, and some people are penniless?

"Prime Minister, Lord Chen of the Household Department said that he had something to see...... " Tan Yihong, Song Jiaoren's secretary, walked up to his side and reported carefully.

"What's the matter with him!" Song Jiaoren was a little impatient. He can see that Chen **** is an old slippery head at all, and he is messing around in the cabinet with the mind that no one can be offended. In response to the economic crisis, there has been no movement in the issuance of public bonds.

"Say yes...... There is something important. Tan Yihong said, "It should be Master Ma who has something to report." ”

"Hmm. Let them in. "I heard that it was Ma Yinchu, but Song Jiaoren wanted to see it. Least. Ma Yinchu is completely consistent with him in terms of position, and he is psychologically resistant to those powerful people in China.

When Chen **** came in, his face was tense and unhappy, but Ma Yinchu's eyebrows were a little flying, and he was struggling behind him, with an indescribable confidence.

"Sit down." Song Jiaoren, who returned to the bookcase, said in a harmonious voice, his hand pressed on the teacup.

"Prime Minister, Won-sun doesn't know where he heard the news. said that the National Bank was speculating in the Deutsche Mark ...... "As soon as Chen **** opened his mouth, he attributed the news to the three no products, which made Ma Yinchu on his side very dissatisfied. After he finished speaking, Ma Yinchu immediately corrected: "Prime Minister, this is not news that I don't know where I heard it, this is a true fact!" ”

"But Liu Jitao hasn't even seen the accounts of the Overseas Chinese Commercial Bank now, how do you know that they are speculating in the Deutsche Mark?" Chen **** asked rhetorically.

"Why bother looking at the accounts in this matter, and besides, the accounts are not fake?" Ma Yinchu asked rhetorically, "The hype run on the Deutsche Mark was originally a roundabout trick of Zhang Xingjian to hit the yen. The defeat of the Deutsche Mark is good for implicating the pound, and the pound falls. Then the yen is in hand. Who else could have thought of such a clever trick except for the rentier people of the National Bank? This is just like the Shanghai rubber stock boom 20 years ago, and it is not a fair and fair thing. ”

With Yang Rui's downfall, some black history began to be widely spread among the people, and one of the blackest was the original rubber stock trend in Shanghai. It is said that all the money that the Revival Society used to win the world in the first place came from this. Ma Yin was an economist at the beginning, and after research, he was sure that there was indeed a mastermind behind the trend, and the Revival Society must have been the initiator.

"Won-seon. Let's just take matters into account. "Song Jiaoren doesn't like Ma Yin's junior high school injury revival meeting, especially on formal occasions.

"Prime Minister. Here's the thing. I went to the State Bank of Shanghai to check the accounts, and they hid the yen very well. There is no clue at all, but the wise man thinks a thousand times, and a mark loan of hundreds of millions of dollars forgets to cover up. The money was loaned to the Overseas Chinese Commercial Bank, and we found the Overseas Chinese Commercial Bank, but the bank said that the money was abroad, and there would be no detailed account until the accounts were summarized in the second half of the year. Combined with the previous run in Germany, Ji Tao judged that the money should be remitted to Germany, and its purpose was to let the German government declare foreign exchange controls or withdraw from the gold standard because it could not bear the run on the mark...... "Ma Yinchu said the result after the audit, and the look on his face was difficult to hide.

"Prime Minister, along with the economic crisis, the whole world is in a run, and the collapse of the Silk Bank last year was caused by the run. How can what is happening in Germany have anything to do with us? With seven million German workers unemployed, and a few years ago there was a huge inflation, so how could there be no run on the people? Chen **** immediately objected. Besides, Zhang Xingjian really wants to run on the Deutsche mark, why should he write the number in his account in a grand manner? Our country already has a great deal of trade with Germany, and although this 100 million marks is a lot, it does not mean that it has problems. ”

"At that time, because the National Bank controlled all foreign exchange in our country, trading banks had to settle foreign exchange at the National Bank." Ma Yinchu unceremoniously interjected, "What are the trade deals we have with Germany that exceed 100 million marks?" Even if it's a trade, what about trade contracts, customs documents, and packing items? What did the Overseas Chinese Commercial Bank buy in Germany, which was worth 100 million marks, 50 million Chinese dollars, and 25 million US dollars? ”

"That's it!" Song Jiaoren saw that the two did not give in, and he was afraid that the quarrel would be out of control, so he had to stop it. He asked: "What if this run on the Deutsche Mark was indeed done in Shanghai?" ”

"Since you have the money to go abroad to speculate in foreign exchange, why not undertake the construction bonds issued by the government?" Ma Yinchu also thought about it several times before he thought of some benefits, and asking the State Bank to take the lead in undertaking construction bonds was one of them.

"Undertaking public debt?" Song Jiaoren's eyes suddenly became hot, the Ministry of Infrastructure Planning and Industry had already drawn it up, but the Inspectorate did not raise taxes and the bank did not lend, although he was the prime minister, it was difficult for a penny to defeat a hero.

Seeing that Song Jiaoren was interested, Ma Yinchu smiled and said, "Exactly." Although the Ministry of Industry has formulated a number of plans to save the market, it is doubtful how the institute will start construction without raising taxes. But if the bank can undertake the 100 billion 2 billion yuan construction debt, then many projects can be started, and the unemployed people will be able to have a livelihood. He shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, the current society." The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and the government should rob the rich to help the poor. To ensure that the poor can also read, get sick, and live a decent life, most countries in Europe have workers' welfare bills. And we ......"

Ma Yinchu's righteous words became louder and louder, and Chen **** on the side finally couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Xingjian will never agree, why should we let him accept public debts?" In addition, the Inspectorate will not agree to the Workers' Welfare Act, which is obviously pitting workers against factory owners and hindering the stability of the country. ”

"The National Bank has money to speculate in foreign exchange, but it turns a blind eye to the unemployed people in the country?" Ma Yinchu said very resentfully, "European workers have implemented an eight-hour work week, as well as Labor Day, and unemployment benefits, but what do Chinese workers have?" Say what to hire for life. Now it's going to be intermittently rotated, isn't that unemployment? Prime Minister, China is not the China of a very few rich and nobles, China is the China of 50,000 people, and the country should consider the toiling masses, not a few nobles and ......"

Ma Yinchu's socialist tendencies were extremely obvious, and he regarded robbing the rich and helping the poor as the foundation of the government, which violated the spirit of the constitution after the second amendment: that is, the government is a government organized by taxpayers, and it should indeed protect the rights and interests of every citizen. However, the legitimate rights and interests of a small number of people must not be harmed by the demands of the majority, and this is the lesson learned from the land reform bill and the public property ownership case. All the government needs to do is to ensure that competition is fair, and at the same time strictly prohibit the collusion between officials and businessmen to seek rents for power, and ultimately rob the poor and help the rich.

As a representative of the previous Inspectorate. Chen ****, who is familiar with the spirit of the Constitution, wanted to correct Ma Yinchu's words, but when he saw Song Jiaoren nodding more and more when he listened, he thought that he was just holding it up. I stopped thinking about everything, only thinking about when the current cabinet would fall.

The results of Wenhuadian's deliberations reached Shanghai in the afternoon. Seeing the official document sent by the capital asking the State Bank to undertake the construction bonds, Zhang Kun suddenly sneered. What is it?! They are also worthy of their own forcible collection of public debts.

"Dude. What is this? Li Guangqian, the general office of the Overseas Chinese Commercial Bank, who was discussing with Zhang Kunzheng how to make fake accounts, saw that his face suddenly changed, and the goodbye document was red-headed, so he couldn't help asking.

"Something to wipe your ass!" Zhang Kun sneered and turned into disdain, he struck a match and lit a cigarette while his heart was stirring, and he couldn't help but light the document asking for money, but as soon as the document was burned, he immediately blew it out - any official document of the bank must be recorded, and if it is really burned, such an official document will be missing.

"Those straw bales in the capital think they have got our handle and want us to undertake 1.2 billion construction bonds." Zhang Kun shook the document disdainfully, then handed it to Li Guangqian, and asked with a smile: "Guangqian, do you have the money to undertake public debts?" ”

took the red-headed official document and scanned it hastily, Li Guangqian shook his head and said, "1.2 billion, what a lot!" Those officials really don't treat money as money. He sighed and returned the documents to Zhang Kun, and then replied: "There are a lot of deposits in the Overseas Chinese Commercial Bank, but the depositors don't agree, how can we, the housekeepers, use their money to buy public bonds behind their backs?" ”

Lee Kong Chian was a serious banker who was deeply resistant to Manchu-style apportionment and retribution. When Zhang Kun heard this, he smiled and said: "Some people don't even understand the most basic rules, and they think that the public weapon is in their hands, and the whole world is theirs, but they can be slaughtered and exploited." If this kind of person becomes the prime minister, he will only wipe out the little family business that his ancestors have accumulated with great difficulty!

Just before that, you asked the branches of overseas Chinese businessmen to immediately make up an account, and then open some short companies on the German side, and the money was used to acquire these companies. In this way, it will be a few months before it can escape Liu Jitao's eyes. ”

Making false accounts is definitely a taboo for bankers, but now in the face of the close attention of the household department, Zhang Kun has to arrange it like this. Li Guangqian answered, and after he left, Chen Guangfu, who came to hear the news, said: "Do you want us to undertake construction bonds?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Kun raised the red-headed official document that burned a small corner, "1.2 billion, you really treat us as Shen Wansan!" ”

"What then?" Chen Guangfu, who took the official document and read it hastily, said, "Do you undertake some of it first, and the rest will ......?"

"Absolutely not!" Zhang Kun's head shook like a rattle, "Although there is a lot of money in the bank, not a single cent is ours, so why should we use the money of depositors to buy this kind of construction bonds that have no return?" And why is it that when the economy only grows in real terms and gold does not actually increase, 1.2 billion Chinese dollars are overissued?

And these projects are simply official articles written by patting their heads and making up numbers, not to mention detailed project evaluation reports, and there is not even a draft profit return evaluation that coaxes people. Isn't the bureaucracy throwing money into the water when they treat the project as a welfare? ”

"But ......" Chen Guangfu also knew that the so-called construction public debt was a bottomless pit, but he was afraid that those people in the household department would do something next time.

"Don't." Zhang Kun said, "We can't move the money in the bank, and we can't open the printing press. Otherwise, let's see who has money to spare, and buy some if we want. ”

The 1.2 billion public debt suddenly became a private surplus investment, and when the telegram in Shanghai was finally transferred to the Wenhua Palace, there was a 'clang', and another teacup died in the Wenhua Palace.

"Does he Zhang Xingjian treat the cabinet as a begging for food!" Song Jiaoren, who had finished dropping the cup, shouted, and the green tendons on his head flared up, "1.2 billion has become 10,000 taels, does he still recognize this government, and is there me as the prime minister in his eyes?!" ”

"Prime Minister, Zhang Xingjian said before: He only has money in his eyes!" Song Jiaoren only stood in front of Ma Yinchu, and Chen ****, the head of the household who had always been 'against him', had already taken leave.

"Can you remove him from his post?" Song Jiaoren's anger disappeared after smashing the cup, and then he began to think about a way.

"No, you can't. The General Office of the State Bank is elected by the provincial banks and appointed by the Financial Committee of the Auditor's Yuan. To change people, both must agree to both. "Ma Yin Chu Dao." The only way to do that is ......"

"What's it?" Song Jiaoren quickly turned his head.

"It's just a legal way." Ma Yinchu said, "Zhang Xingjian has been in charge of the National Bank for nearly 20 years, and there are always some unsightly things, if these things can be investigated, he can be replaced openly." Ma Yin stopped when he first arrived, his eyes flickered a few times, and then said, "Or ...... again"

At the beginning of the lanterns, the neon lights on Daxin Street are dazzling and flashing, the music is moving, under the neon lights, the bustling streets are full of cars, but most of the parking lots are full, if it is not for the big face, early appointment, the drivers can only helplessly go around to the racecourse to park, and then the old lady and the young master can only walk back.

"Ga many!" On a Shanghai-made Venus luxury car, Mrs. Zhang, who rarely goes out, was startled by the crowd of traffic in front of her through the windshield in the front row.

"It's okay, we have an appointment." Zhang Kun, who closed his eyes and recuperated, glanced at his wife, and saw that the China Grand Theater he was going to was hundreds of meters away, and he picked up the newspaper and read it by the light with confidence -- he was paying close attention to the economic situation in Europe and only hoped that Germany would collapse by itself. After waiting for a while, the car finally drove to the gate of the China Grand Theater, and after the driver Bai Siwen showed the theater's exclusive brand, the waiter immediately pulled the stop bar and ran to lead the car in.
