Years of the Republic of China 1913

() It is certain that Sun Wen's case will be anticlimactic. With the development of the situation, Jiang Zhiqing, Dai Jitao and others may not return to China for too long. Fang Zida handed over the finishing work to Yang Du, Yang Yongtai and others, and turned his attention to out of the country.

While the European war caused heavy losses to European countries, the United States, China and even Japan all benefited a lot from it.Of course, it is the United States that has benefited the most from these three countries. The United States has strong industrial strength, and it is a natural ally with Britain and France. The lack of local resources in Japan and the impact of the counterfeit banknote incident have caused the domestic economic depression. In fact, China is closely behind. Before the official declaration of war, China's finances have improved rapidly under the influence of the European War. Due to the outbreak of the local war between China and Japan, the finances deteriorated for a period of time, but because the scale of the war was not too large after all, and the fighting time between the two sides was short, shortly after the armistice, the tight finances soon became more comfortable.

In the past few years, the seeds sown by Fang Zida have finally begun to take root. The massive investment of national capital and national capital has made China's industry and commerce flourish.There are more and more factories and commercial banks in various places, and projects in several major cities have also been launched under the leadership of the Ministry of Finance. The large amount of labor and skilled workers required have also given the farmers who have been planing in the fields for generations to find another way out of life. .

Just like the reform and opening up in the 80s, millions of migrant workers went to Guangdong, which opened the prelude to the country's rapid development.

But now, although there is no such exciting and grand scene.However, due to the development of various places, the conflict between the land and farmers has been buffered.Someone once said it.China's problems are mainly farmers' problems, and solving the farmers' problems is equivalent to solving China's problems.As an agricultural country, Fang Zida is very clear that this problem must be solved in order to achieve stable development. However, due to the current situation, he cannot use radical means. Instead, using the development of industry and commerce to induce farmers to come out of the land is the best way.

What's more.Now the entire Republic of China is fully open, there are no special economic zones at all, and there are no such things as pilot projects. Enterprises that are blooming everywhere are ordered by the market to gradually embark on a virtuous cycle of development, and the manpower consumed by these industrial and commercial enterprises is overall. In fact, it is no less than that time.According to internal statistics, only in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, 877 large and small factories have been added in the past two years.There are 3419 folk workshops, employing about 15 people. If the family members of the hired workers and temporary workers are added, the total number reaches nearly one million. This is not only a huge achievement in this era, but even 70 years later.

Except China is the richest.The fastest-growing Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places are not far behind. Due to geographical restrictions, although the Zhili region is not as developed as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the achievements it can achieve are surprising.And affected by these areas.Some remote provinces have gradually changed their conservative views and started a gratifying change.

But.With the development, there are many problems.Fang Zida clearly realized that today's rapid development is based on the European War. Once this war is over, the industry and commerce developed by relying on the war fortune will inevitably produce unsalable commodities, reduced profits, and lead to production (mainly The problem of sharp decline in industrial production) is followed by a large increase in unemployment, underutilization of enterprises and a large number of bankruptcies, serious damage and loss of productivity and products, and social economy falling into a state of paralysis, chaos and regression.The fall in production and the surge in unemployment led to a global economic crisis.A fragile China simply cannot bear such a blow, which will cause huge losses to the fledgling Chinese industry and commerce, and cause sharp social turmoil.

To this end, Fang Zida has a series of plans, among which not replacing silver coins with banknotes as the national legal tender is also part of the plan.In addition, stimulating domestic demand and reducing the impact of the future economic crisis on industry and commerce is also a way. As for a series of other means, Fang Zida is also preparing one after another.

Today, Fang Zida specially invited Liang Dunyan, the director of transportation, to come here. After Song Jiaoren formed the cabinet, the original Ministry of Railways was abolished and merged into the Ministry of Communications, which greatly increased the power of the Ministry of Communications.But the good times didn't last long, as Fang Zida forcibly took over the Bank of Communications from Liang Shiyi through Yuan Shikai and changed it to Zhongyang Bank, and then took the military power of the road guards.After Liang Shiyi's plot failed and he stepped down, the entire Ministry of Communications, apart from mastering the few railway lines in China, lost the glory of the first cabinet department at all, and gradually became an ordinary department.

Liang Dunyan was one of the children who were sent by the Qing government to study in the United States. He graduated from Yale University. He was in the same group as Zhan Tianyou and Tang Shaoyi, and they were also classmates and friends.Liang Dunyan is a technical official. After taking over the Ministry of Communications, he has always wanted to do something. However, it is impossible for China to invest a lot of money in the current finances. In addition, the Ministry of Communications has lost the control of the Bank of Communications and the road guards. He was not loud, and the proposals he put forward in several cabinet meetings were always rejected, and he became discouraged after a long time.

This day, Liang Dunyan was puzzled when he suddenly received Fang Zida's invitation. Liang Dunyan both admired and hated Fang Zida.This kind of complicated mentality is that Fang Zida took away most of the rights that belonged to the Ministry of Communications, so that his Ministry of Communications can only look up to the Ministry of Finance and eat by looking at other people's eyes.Secondly, in several cabinet meetings, Fang Zida was always the one who opposed the proposal of the Ministry of Communications. The Ministry of Communications without funds and financial appropriations had a hard time. Whenever he saw Fang Zida's smiling face, Liang Dunyan felt a pang Stomach.

As for admiration, although Liang Dunyan is a technical official, he can see some things clearly after decades of ups and downs in the officialdom.Fang Zida turned his hands into clouds, turned his hands into rain, and used his strength to create a series of coups. In just a few years, he achieved such a status and made the country's finances improve rapidly. The attitude forced Japan to cease the war with China... Liang Dunyan couldn't help admiring these things. If it were him, he might not be able to do half of them.

"Brother Songsheng!"

When he arrived at the Ministry of Finance, Liang Dunyan walked towards Fang Zida's office, thinking about why he asked him to come here.Who would have thought that just after going upstairs and turning a corner, he would see Fang Zida standing at the door of the office waiting for him.

"Brother Zhang Ming, you are..."

Surprised, Fang Zida was waiting for him at the door?How can this be?His grandma doesn't love him, and his uncle doesn't love the chief of transportation. It sounds good, but his status in the cabinet is not even as good as the chief of education. Fang Zida, as the chief of finance and the president of the central bank, is in charge of the country's money bag , who is still the director of kmt, holds military power in his hand, how can someone who even Song Jiaoren treat him politely treat him so courteously?

Seeing Liang Dunyan's astonished expression, Fang Zida smiled and took two steps forward and held out his hands: "Brother Songsheng is here, I am very grateful, come, come, let's go into the room and talk."

"Is this Fang Zida? Is it impersonation?" Liang Dunyan and Fang Zida have never had a personal relationship. They only dealt with each other in cabinet meetings. Fang Zida's image in his mind was always tough and assertive. Like some time ago, the cabinet rejected the proposal of the Ministry of Communications to apply for funding, and also threw out a five-finger investigation report to prove that the proposal of the Ministry of Communications did not need to be discussed in the cabinet, which made Liang Dunyan angry on the spot half dead.

Who would have thought that today Fang Zida was uncharacteristically being so polite to him, and after looking up and down that the person standing in front of him was indeed a real person, Liang Dunyan was very puzzled.

"If you don't have anything to show courtesy, can't you steal or steal?"

Walking into Fang Zida's office, Liang Dunyan muttered something, Fang Zida who was walking in front couldn't hear what the other party was saying, turned around and asked strangely: "Brother Songsheng, what did you just say?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I said I'm thirsty..." Liang Dunyan was taken aback, and quickly found a reason to reply, seeing Fang Zida said with a smile: "Hehe, it's such a trivial matter, I have a Dahongpao from a friend here, I will invite brother Songsheng to give you a piece later."

"Hehe, thank you so much, brother Zhang Ming." Liang Dunyan confirmed that Fang Zida did not hear what he said, and his heart relaxed and he smiled and cupped his hands.

The two sides sat down accordingly, Fang Zida took out the tea set and fiddled with it for a while, and soon a refreshing tea fragrance filled the air.

"Brother Songsheng, please!"

"Good tea! It's really good tea! I was lucky enough to taste this tea at Xiangshuai's mansion when I was a brother. It's been more than 20 years now..."

Liang Dunyan took a sip of tea, couldn't help sighing, and when he put down the tea cup, he asked solemnly: "Brother Zhang Ming, please come here today, brother, what can you tell me?"

Fang Zida smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "I can't talk about seeing the teacher. I invite Brother Songsheng to come here today to discuss the work of the Ministry of Communications."

"What does my department have to do with you!" Liang Dunyan's expression changed suddenly.

"Brother Songsheng, why is this so? Haha, I understand, you misunderstood, blame me, blame me, it's all my fault, I didn't speak clearly, which caused brother Songsheng to misunderstand." Fang Zida was stunned for a moment, and soon understood, Immediately laughed.

Then, without waiting for the other party to ask, Fang Zida said: "Brother Songsheng's talent has always been admired by younger brothers. There are not many technical officials like Brother Songsheng in China, but there are very few, especially in the cabinet. Brother Songsheng is the one who is most qualified for the position of chief minister. Today I invited brother Songsheng to come over to talk about the Ministry of Communications, but it is not that I want to point fingers at your ministry, but I want to discuss with you. I remember Songsheng Brother Songsheng put forward funding proposals many times in cabinet meetings, right? At that time, my younger brother rejected these proposals for the sake of the overall situation, so please don’t take it to heart. But today I can tell Brother Songsheng the truth, after long-term investigation and preparation by the Ministry of Finance , will carry out a comprehensive and long-term investment plan for national railway and highway construction, and the leading implementation of this plan will be in charge of your Ministry of Communications."
