Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 90 Money and Guns

People are different by nature. When Lao Zhang appeared, he carried a strong aura. Whether it was the thousands of parades or the Beiyang army like Lu Lin, they were all overwhelmed by Zhang Zuolin.

Lao Zhang was about to step into the gate of the mansion, but suddenly turned back, and before the parade, Zhang Zuolin bowed his hands to everyone.

"Fathers and elders, everyone must know Mr. Zhang. Please rest assured that Mr. Zhang will convey your thoughts to the general. It is not an option for you to surround the Dudu Mansion like this. Please leave temporarily. If something happens to Mr. Zhang If it doesn’t work out, no matter what you think about it, Zhang will definitely not stop you!”

Lao Zhang made a promise, and everyone present calmed down, gradually began to disperse, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Only then did Zhang Zuolin step into the gate of the Governor's Mansion with his head held high. Originally, Lu Lin asked his subordinates to pile up a lot of sandbags here, as if he was facing a big enemy. Now that Lao Zhang is here, they dare not stop this handsome Hu. Lao Zhang is so single, swaggering walked into the Dudu's mansion.

Duan Zhigui had already received the report from his subordinates. He had a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw Zhang Zuolin coming in, he suddenly stood up.

"Zhang Yuting, what kind of tricks are you playing? How dare you let your subordinates rush into my mansion? Do you want to see those rebels and mobs take my head off so that you will be satisfied? Fengtian will be in your palm thing?"

"General, you are trying to wrong the dead. I heard that someone launched a parade and rushed into your mansion, so I rushed here non-stop to protect your safety. My old Zhang always said that, Jiang Hu People value loyalty the most, and Zhang will never forget the kindness of the President, and of course he will not have any thoughts of disobedience!"

"Speaking is better than singing. You dare to say that those soldiers who caused trouble are not your subordinates. Everyone can see clearly what they did. How can you deny it!" Duan Zhigui was not an idiot. Businessmen, it took more than a day before and after the outbreak, but the momentum was so violent, and there were only so many people participating. If there was no driving force behind it, no one would believe it!

"General, this matter is indeed Zhang's fault, but please allow me to explain a few things. Over the years, the 27th Division's military salary has not been paid in full, and the subordinates have to find a way to survive or run a business. , or think of something else. Recently, the North Market has been developed, and a large amount of bricks, tiles and wood have been brought in, and people need to be guarded. Ordinary patrols are unreliable, so Xingye Company has hired a group of helpers to take care of security. You put those businessmen Withhold it, and if the North Market can’t continue, these people’s jobs will be gone.”

"If I don't have a job, can I make trouble with those mobs? Do you still see me as a general?" Although Duan Zhigui was still stubborn, his momentum had weakened a lot.Military pay is a big problem for armies everywhere, and it is even more common for soldiers to argue about their pay.

Duan Zhigui also knew that these eight uncles Qiu could do anything, so he also felt that things were difficult.In fact, this is due to Duan Zhigui's confusion. He decided to attack the North Market, but he didn't carefully understand the background of the North Market. If he knew the truth, he would clear up Zhang Zuolin's purely talking about the train.

Division 27 is not a simple worker, but the real owner and manager of the North Market!

"General, don't worry. After I go back, I will definitely teach these bastards a lesson. However, please make up your mind about the current situation. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets to march, and Fengtian City went on strike, strikes, and strikes. The whole city is at a standstill, which has a very bad effect, and I am worried that it will endanger the prestige of the President!"

Of course, Zhang Zuolin didn't need to talk about this kind of thing. Duan Zhigui also thought of it. Now is the critical moment for the godfather to ascend the throne. Representatives of public opinion have been sent from all over the country, and they will gather in Beijing to vote and discuss the issue of the national system.As a result, such a serious incident happened in Fengtian, once the godfather was humiliated and the great cause of ascension to the throne was affected, there would be no redemption.

"This matter really needs to be resolved, Yuting, do you have any regulations?"

"General, there are two reasons for such a large-scale parade this time. The first is that you have detained some Fengtian businessmen. The second is the issue of the devaluation of Fengtian tickets. As long as it can be resolved, no one will Parade!"

Duan Zhigui's eyes widened immediately, and he waved his hands again and again: "Absolutely impossible, there is no discussion! I can let people go, but they must pay the full amount of money as required. As for the issue of offering tickets, it is none of my business to go to the official bank. !"

Who will spit out the fat that has been swallowed? Fengtian Official Bank's reserve fund worth more than 100 million oceans has fallen into Duan Zhigui's pocket, part of it has been remitted to Lao Yuan, and the rest is locked in Duan Zhigui's small treasury Then, how could he let it out.

"General, you have your difficulties, everyone knows it, but I ask you to think carefully, Fengtian strike is not that simple!"

"Isn't it simple? Are those muddy legs going to turn the world upside down?"

"Of course it's not them, but the big powers. Fengtian just signed a contract with the United Kingdom to supply them with goods. Just a few days ago, the United Kingdom reached an agreement, and Fengtian and Russia also reached an agreement to provide them with war materials. There are two powerful countries Staring, Fengtian is in turmoil, will they remain indifferent? And there is Japan watching, I am afraid of causing some diplomatic troubles."

Nothing else works these days, only the great powers are more effective than Shang Fang's sword, Duan Zhigui can't be indifferent now.

"Who told them to sign a contract with the big powers casually, why don't you ask my opinion on this kind of thing, it's just nonsense!"

The bullshit is also done by the great powers, can your Highness Duan still manage it?Zhang Zuolin simply ignored Duan Zhigui, but the old god sat on the side, watching Duan Zhigui grind back and forth on the ground.

"The big powers have to give them face. I can let them go, but the president is about to take the throne, and they have to contribute funds. This is absolutely unavoidable!"

Lao Zhang has long defined his identity as a mediator, so he has to make both parties take a step back so that he can handle it.

"General, more than 200 million is not a small amount. These people can't get together for a while. If Fengtian business stops, they will not be able to make any money. I think so, first pay 20, and you let them all go." After that, wait for them to have funds before continuing to contribute!"

When Lao Zhang proposed this compromise, Duan Zhigui's face was gloomy. 20 yuan was far from satisfying his appetite, but Duan Zhigui was frightened by the appalling public opinion, so he had no choice but to agree temporarily.

"I can delay for a few days, but don't try to delay the money!"

"Don't worry, General, I am willing to serve as the guarantor and promise to hand over all the money. Another point is the issue of the vote. I have heard people say that the amount involved is as high as 1000 million. If the vote becomes Blank paper is equivalent to taking out two or three oceans from every Fengtian person, the common people really can't afford it!"

As soon as Zhang Zuolin mentioned the ticket, Duan Zhigui immediately became very ugly as if he had been stepped on the tail.

"I didn't discuss this matter. I donated all my money to the President. If they have the ability, they will go to Beijing to ask for money!"

Zhang Zuolin had already discussed with Zhang Tinglan yesterday, and he had already guessed that Duan Zhigui would play a scoundrel. In fact, they also hoped that Duan Zhigui would do the same, otherwise things would not be easy to handle!

"General, the depreciation of Fengpiao is very violent now, and panic has already arisen. Even if you return all those reserves, it will not work. I have inquired, and the original reserve of Fengpiao is not enough, and it is impossible to deal with large-scale run on."

Duan Zhigui was dumbfounded as well, he didn't expect it to be so bad. In his view, money is just a piece of colorful paper, and he doesn't understand that credit is the life of money.

"Yuting, what can you do?"

"General, Zuolin is a soldier. I don't know what to do, but I think this kind of thing needs to find professionals. Those businessmen have many masters of bank accounts. If you let them go, these people should be grateful to Dade , I asked them to find a way to stabilize the currency without asking for reserves!"

When Duan Zhigui heard that he would not ask him for money, he immediately showed joy: "This is the best. If those merchants can stabilize the currency value, this general will definitely reward them!"

"General, since the merchants are to contribute, we must give them some power. I think it is better to temporarily hand over the management rights of the Fengtian Official Bank and let the Fengtian merchants temporarily manage it!"

When Lao Zhang said this, he fixed his eyes on Duan Zhigui, for fear that he would see something.Zhang Tinglan repeatedly stated to him yesterday that the most important issue is the issue of currency issuance rights. Only by mastering this can we truly grasp the lifeline of Fengtian.

Duan Zhigui obviously didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, the official bank account has been evacuated, and it has lost its value for the time being. If it is still in his own hands, he must find a way to stabilize the currency. If he can avoid this trouble For merchants, it couldn't be better.

"I agree." Duan Zhigui agreed very easily: "Yuting, you must deal with those mobs as soon as possible, everything must be the president's imperial career, and there must be no more trouble!"

Everyone was a little worried about Lao Zhang breaking into the Governor's Mansion alone. If Duan Zhigui found out that Zhang Zuolin was behind it, he might take Lao Zhang down in a fit of anger!

When everyone was worried, Zhang Zuolin came out of the Governor's Mansion with a happy face. Zhang Tinglan had also arrived. After seeing Lao Zhang's expression, he was immediately elated. He knew that what he had planned for a long time had finally come true.

The Fengtian Guanyinhao not only represents the right to issue currency, the greatest value of the Guanyinhao is the subordinate Fengtian Machinery Bureau, which has been established since the end of the Qing Dynasty to produce silver dollars and copper coins.The Machinery Bureau is the earliest industrialized production enterprise in Fengtian, and the problem of producing arms was considered at the beginning of the design. This is also the predecessor of the famous Fengtian Arsenal.

Once you get the official silver number, you get the machine bureau, and at the same time, you have the opportunity to build an arsenal.Only by being able to independently produce arms can the Feng family truly grow, and Zhang Tinglan has taken a big step towards this goal!
