Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 112 Small Gifts

During this period of Fengtian's ups and downs, and the whole of China is also turbulent, Lao Yuan's imperial career has reached a critical moment.Relying on the preparatory meetings and petition groups to jump up and down, he successfully created the so-called public opinion. Lao Yuan also "reluctantly" summoned representatives from all provinces to gather in Beijing to prepare to vote on the issue of the national system.

It just so happened that a carjacking happened at this time, and the Japanese came over aggressively. Lao Yuan suddenly felt the danger, and he didn't have the heart to vote. He contacted the ministers of various countries every day to seek support, and finally things eased down.

Although no final settlement agreement was reached with the Japanese, at any rate there would be no war. The heroes under Lao Yuan urged Lao Yuan to vote as soon as possible. Soon the representatives of all provinces unanimously agreed to a constitutional monarchy, and local officials also jointly signed Congratulations, Lao Yuan's emperor's dream has finally begun.

Yuan Shikai's mind is not completely confused, he understands very well the truth of falling short for Shan Jiuren, the closer he is to success, the more he can't relax, especially to stabilize the powerful factions in various places.

Zhang Zuolin, who made great contributions to eradicating the Russian bandits, must be rewarded. A few days ago, Zhang Zuolin and Fengtian Consul General Shi Tian reached a cooperation agreement. Fengtian will export grain to Japan at a [-]% discount to help Japan stabilize grain prices.Don't care about how many discords there were before, but after all, he didn't tear his face. Lao Zhang exported grain to Japan at this time, which can be regarded as showing enough goodwill to the Japanese.

The opinion of this little warlord in Japan has also improved a lot, thinking that he can still be wooed, so there are no obstacles set up, and it will be a matter of course for Lao Zhang to become Fengtian's new capital.

However, Lao Yuan was unwilling to withdraw his hand from outside the customs. After some consideration, he decided to appoint Duan Zhigui as the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces to manage the military affairs of the three provinces.In this way, His Royal Highness Duan is still Lao Zhang's immediate boss. After Zhang Zuolin was appointed, he immediately became furious.Isn't Yuan's big head a joke!

"Hanqing, I have a somewhat different view. Everything should be done in good faith. The seventh uncle was originally a division commander. If he interferes with affairs other than the army, he is overstepping his authority. Now he is the governor, and he can manage Fengtian's military and political affairs in a legitimate way. Although Duan Zhigui is an inspector Yes, but it can be completely assumed that he does not exist. Anyway, Fengtian has long since returned to Marshal Zhang, and His Highness Duan has long since had to stand aside!"

"That makes sense. Brother Tinglan, now my father is a veritable Marshal Zhang, so I will be a young marshal!"

"That's right, the genuine Young Marshal Zhang, who dares to say otherwise. I'll beat him!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Hanqing, I suggest you order a set of military uniforms for generals as soon as possible. Wear them out. It's definitely a dignified look." Young General."

"Brother Ting Lan, don't be joking. In fact, I always feel that Zhang Shaoshuai is no different from Gao Yanei in Pingshu. They all rely on my prestige. A man wants to conquer the world by himself!"

It seems that this Young Marshal Zhang is quite ambitious!It's best to continue to be so passionate, so as not to ruin the foundation of the three eastern provinces.

Never mind.From this moment, Lao Zhang has become the master of Fengtian, a real prince, which is definitely something worth celebrating.Zhang Tinglan tidied up briefly, and went to the Marshal's Mansion with Zhang Xueliang.

At this time, the commander's mansion was already decorated with lights and festoons, and it was very lively. A group of old brothers under Lao Zhang all gathered to congratulate Zhang Zuolin on his promotion.Everyone's face is filled with smiles, as the saying goes, birds follow the phoenix and fly away. Now that Zhang Zuolin has developed, it proves that everyone's vision was correct.

There is a future with Lao Zhang. Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Yuan Jinkai and others are sitting on both sides of the Tiger Hall. Compared with the past, the biggest difference is that sitting next to Zhang Zuolin is a short and fat middle-aged man, It was Wang Yongjiang.

As soon as Zhang Tinglan entered the gate of the Tiger Hall, he noticed Wang Yongjiang. Judging from his seat, Wang Yongjiang was definitely the protagonist of the day. It seemed that the general manager of Fengjun was about to make his official debut.At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang and Yang Yuting also rushed over. Yang Yuting was in charge of the training of the heavy artillery battalion, while Zhang Zuoxiang was recruiting sharpshooters.

It was Zhang Tinglan's idea to form a sniper unit. Zhang Zuoxiang also knew that his son attached great importance to this matter, and he was more familiar with the sharpshooters in the Feng army, so he took the initiative to recruit people.The heavy artillery unit and snipers are the secret weapons of the Feng army, so the training locations are all arranged outside the city, so they came last.

"Everyone is here. Lao Yuan appointed me as General Shengwu to supervise Fengtian's military affairs. From today onwards, Fengtian is our brother's territory. That's why we should also use our minds to manage Fengtian well, so that Fathers and villagers live a good life. Serving as an official will benefit one party, and everyone will talk about their opinions, what are you going to do!"

After Lao Zhang asked this question, everyone present was a little dumbfounded. They were experts in leading troops to fight, but absolutely helpless in governing the region.Of course Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting had their own ideas in mind, but both of them were clever. It was obvious that Lao Zhang wanted to give Wang Yongjiang a chance to perform, so he shouldn't talk too much.

Lao Zhang looked around, saw no one was talking, then turned to Wang Yongjiang, and said with a smile: "Minyuan, you teach the big guys and talk about your ideas!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded slightly. Because of Zhang Tinglan's matchmaking, Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Zuolin had contacted several times. Now Wang Yongjiang is basically taking care of the affairs of the official bank account. Everything is in order, showing strong management ability.

Lao Zhang also asked Wang Yongjiang several times for his ideas on governing Fengtian. Wang Yongjiang talked eloquently and without reservation. The opportunity to perform was given to Wang Yongjiang.

"Everyone, Mr. Wang will first talk about the overall situation of Fengtian. At present, Fengtian has a total population of 800 million, sitting on both sides of the Liaohe River. The fertile land is thousands of miles away, and the products are rich. But every year there is a huge deficit in the finances, making ends meet, public security chaos, financial turmoil, The common people are starved of food, thieves are rampant everywhere, and the people's livelihood is in decline. I think these things can be summed up in one word, that is, poverty. If you want to cure Fengtian's poverty disease, you must take drastic financial management!"

Wang Yongjiang's views coincided with Zhang Tinglan's. Don't look at Zhang Tinglan's tossing around during this time, but the effect was limited. He only made Lao Zhang a little more financially. The business of Fengjun Provincial City has achieved great development, and the law and order are also good. up.But other areas have not been affected yet, and Fengtian still wears the hat of poverty and backwardness.

"Since ancient times, there are no more than two means of financial management, one is to increase income, and the other is to reduce expenditure. I think that at present, we should focus on increasing income and supplementing it by reducing expenditure. The so-called open source is to expand new sources of income. This new source of income is divided into two The first is farmers' rent and tax. I suggest that the land be cleared immediately, and all the land hidden by the landlords be found out. Let them all pay taxes. The second is industrial and commercial taxation, which is also the area with the greatest growth potential in Fengtian in the future."

Speaking of this, Wang Yongjiang's eyes glanced at Zhang Tinglan inadvertently. After being in contact with her for so long, Wang Yongjiang is also very clear about some of Zhang Tinglan's secrets.Take the North Market as an example, how much tax has flowed into Zhang Tinglan's pocket.Wang Yongjiang has an account in his heart.It turned out that it was to evade Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui.Now it is Zhang Zuolin's turn to take charge of Fengtian, these rules must be changed, and the taxation power of the North Market will be handed over to the Fengtian government.

This is undoubtedly cutting flesh, but Zhang Tinglan has long been prepared. He has planned the North Market by himself, and has already taken the most profitable land in his hands.Then he took control of finance, both of which were inconspicuous and profitable, and Zhang Tinglan didn't care so much about taxes long ago.It is a good opportunity to hand it over now.

Seeing Zhang Tinglan's calm and breezy appearance, Wang Yongjiang also secretly admired him. This young man is really not simple.Wang Yongjiang continued: "The land is dead, and what can be collected is limited after all. The industrial and commercial development is huge, and it will be the main source of income in the future, so it must be carefully protected. First of all, we must rectify the administration of officials to prevent officials from extorting at will. In addition, rogues, There are also soldiers and ruffians, and they must be dealt with!"

When it comes to the word "soldier ruffian", Wang Yongjiang deliberately paused, and the hearts of everyone present were also moved.Zhang Tinglan had already rectified law and order, but Zhang Tinglan had no ability to deal with the malignant tumor of soldiers, so he just restrained it as much as possible.

The first time Wang Yongjiang spoke in front of everyone, he brought up the issue of the soldiers. most.

To rectify the soldiers, there is no doubt that they took the knife there. Even Sun Liechen's face is not very good. Fengjun was originally a bandit, and the military discipline was lax. Many soldiers played the role of gang bosses and blackmailed everywhere. Although the important income is unreasonable, it has existed for many years. If it is really cut off, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

"Let me say a few words about the soldiers." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to take over the conversation: "In the past, we didn't have any money, and we couldn't let the brothers starve to death. I just opened my eyes for some extra money. Turn one eye and close one eye. Now that the funds are sufficient, everyone is not short of food and drink, and the military salary is not in arrears, if there is more trouble, it will not be appropriate!"

Ever since Wang Yongjiang raised the question of the soldiers, Zhang Tinglan had been stealing eyes on Zhang Zuolin's expression.It stands to reason that Zhang Zuolin had just taken power, so he shouldn't have brought up such a sensitive topic, but Lao Zhang did the opposite, there must be something in it.

"Yuting, it's not easy for brothers to fight desperately. I don't think there are so many restrictions, let everyone have a little freedom!" Zhang Jinghui spoke first.

Who knew that Zhang Zuolin shook his head: "Without rules, you can't make a circle. During this time, I am drawing up a pension standard. In the future, if brothers are injured or even die in battle, they will be given enough pensions for their families, so that brothers will not have to worry about it." .My old Zhang has made it this far, and they have to be worthy of the money. If anyone dares to ignore military discipline and disturb the place wantonly, I will not be polite!"

Zhang Zuolin stood by Wang Yongjiang's side without hesitation, which made the atmosphere in the Tiger Hall a little depressing. Wang Yongjiang then gave a lot of development opinions, but everyone was not in the mood to listen.

The meeting ended with great difficulty, and they all walked out dejectedly, but Zhang Tinglan took a few steps and called to Sun Liechen to stop.

"Sixth uncle, a few days ago I asked a friend in Beijing to help me get in touch. He helped me buy a batch of Jiutian Gongjiao, which is specially used to treat the deficiency of Qi and blood. I heard that Miss Xianrui is weak, so I just gave her a supplement. , In addition, I also asked for a few prescriptions for diet therapy, but I don’t know if it will work or not?” (To be continued..)
