A huge amount of money and harsh terms, Song Jiaoren frowned and remained silent.

After a while, Zhou Xuexi finished speaking. Song Jiaoren was about to ask if he could not borrow so much money for a while, but he swallowed the words again.Although he doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of the country's financial situation, he still knows a thing or two. What's more, this so-called large loan was made by the revolutionaries of the Nanjing Provisional Government in the first place. On the head of kmt, that is to say, on the ass of Song Jiaoren, the current party leader.

Ruoda was a country that was riddled with holes by the Qing government. Although the Republic of China had been established now, the country's finances were on the verge of collapse.If he was just an opposition party member and a passionate young man, Song Jiaoren might run to the streets, raise flags, wave his fists, shout slogans, organize a march or something, and maybe show a posture of worrying about the country and the people, and publish in newspapers. There is a big book, calling on patriots to strongly resist borrowing to sell national interests.But now he is in a different position. It is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. Even if he can lead the country to the road of constitutionalism, how can the country be built without money?How to maintain huge political and military expenditures?

"These conditions are too harsh..." Song Jiaoren shook his head and sighed, turning his gaze to Zhou Xuexi: "Brother Ji, can we still discuss the terms of the contract? The customs duty and salt tax for 47... This is drinking poison to quench your thirst! "

"Brother Dunchu, why don't I know that!" Zhou Xuexi smiled wryly, "But it's this kind of request that I won after several times of arguing. The country is weak and the people are in decline, helpless... helpless!"

Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang was one of the parties in charge of the negotiations, and he took the initiative to explain the difficult situation of the negotiations. It can be seen that he, Zhou Xuexi and others did their best, and these terms are the maximum they can do at the moment.

"Dunchu, I know what you want to say and what you want to do. In fact, I want to say and do it more than you do! But I can't, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I really can't!" Yuan Shikai stood up and slowed down in the hall. Bu Zou said: "At the beginning, I have a deep understanding of Li Laozhong's difficulties, and the helplessness in Li Laozhong's heart is also the same!"

Li Laozhongtang in Yuan Shikai's mouth is Li Hongzhang, a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty. Li Hongzhang was praised and criticized by later generations, and there were many comments, but generally speaking, the detractors accounted for the majority. Go for the "traitor" hat.However, everyone here understands people. At the time when the late Qing Dynasty was crumbling, it was not easy for Li Hongzhang to do his best to maintain the country. No matter who sat in his position, he could not do better than him. Many things were often helpless , Just like Song Jiaoren pointed out that drinking poison to quench thirst, the country is in decline, and the government's finances are facing bankruptcy. This is the only way.

Fang Zida was stunned below, and Yuan Shikai's posture made him more and more incomprehensible. If you say that he is acting, his acting skills are really good.But to say that he is pretending to win people's hearts, this is really not like it. Could it be that I really misunderstood him?

"Brother Dunchu, you know the country's difficulties. If you don't sign the loan contract, the government will not be able to support it. If nothing else, it's just the army. If the food and pay are insufficient, you understand the consequences. What's more, the various ministries in the south now The reorganization and demobilization of our army requires a huge amount of money and food. Once the government funds are not available and the army mutinies, there will be chaos all over the country. I am afraid that your party members in the south will point at the president again and scold your mother.” Army Chief Duan Qi Rui spread his hands and said, although there was some ridicule in the words, everyone didn't laugh.

Speaking of the southern party members, Lu Zhengxiang interjected: "I heard that Sun Wen of your party recently contacted Gui Taro and other political elders in Japan. It seems that they want to exchange the rights and interests of Manchuria and Mongolia in exchange for a loan of 1000 million yen from Japan. , and even secretly sold Han Zhiping for 500 million yen, is there such a thing?"

Before Song Jiaoren could answer, Yang Du, who had been silent for a long time, laughed and said, "Brother Zixing made a mistake, but I heard that Sun Wen has already formed another party in Japan. What's the name... yes! It's called the Chinese Revolutionary Party... Hehe, I also heard that Sun Wen stipulated that those who join the party must absolutely obey their leadership. No matter how senior they are, they must open the incense hall, renew the oath, and have to add fingerprints to swear allegiance to Sun Wen himself, tsk tsk... awesome ...Awesome!"

Song Jiaoren had heard about Sun Wen's stay in Japan a long time ago, and he hated Sun Wen's actions from the bottom of his heart. How could a political party become a tool of personal power?How can the party engage in such a cult of personality?Isn't this like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?Song Jiaoren, who was deeply influenced by the advanced European political structure, completely differed from Sun Wen in this point of view. What annoyed him even more was that Sun Wen secretly colluded with Japanese politicians and secretly betrayed China's interests. He was even more strongly opposed. There are not a few members of the alliance and kmt members who hold opposing opinions, but due to the influence of Sun Wen's huge prestige, there are also many people who agree with this move.Family ugliness should not be publicized. Song Jiaoren only thought that the conflicts should be resolved internally, so he kept trying to cover them up. Who would have thought that they would be exposed in person today, and would feel extremely embarrassed.

"Nonsense!" Yuan Shikai's face darkened, and he reprimanded Yang Du: "Sun Wen is Sun Wen, and Dunchu is Dunchu, how can they be considered together? Besides, since Sun Wen has reorganized the party, it has nothing to do with Dunchu ! At the beginning of the day, Xizi speaks bluntly, if he offends you, don't take it to heart."

"High! It's really high!" Fang Zida's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up in secret. Yuan Shikai is Yuan Shikai.

Song Jiaoren was riding a tiger, and he said it or didn't say it, and Yuan Shikai suddenly separated himself from Sun Wen, which was obviously trying to provoke the relationship between the two parties, and played a stance.But he couldn't refute some things. What they said were all facts, and he could only secretly scold Sun Wen for being a shit stick. He did more than succeed in doing things. He did too much in Japan. Now he is holding the handle in others' hands He is in a dilemma, but he is free and easy in Japan. He is either fooling around to win people's hearts all day long, or shouting slogans so loudly that he doesn't feel bad at all.

"President, I think the loan is feasible, but the time and amount of the loan should be adjusted again." Seeing that Song Jiaoren was speechless for a while, Fang Zida stood up to save him, and said to Yuan Shikai who was in the middle.

"This is...Fang Zida and Fang Changming." Yuan Shikai has a good memory. He still remembers Song Jiaoren's introduction when he came, and he called out his name in one gulp: "What? Brother Zhang Ming has a better idea?"

"Brother Fang, this is a major national event!" Yang Du was complacent, and he wanted to watch Song Jiaoren hold back, but Fang Zida suddenly jumped out and said something coldly, pointing out that Fang Zida's identity had no Qualified to talk about state affairs in front of everyone.

"It's okay, it's the Republic of China now, and everything advocates democracy. It's good to listen to different opinions." Yuan Shikai smiled disapprovingly, and encouraged Fang Zida to express his thoughts with his eyes.
