Years of the Republic of China 1913

() Perhaps because he was too excited, or because he was worried that Fang Zida would turn his back on what he said, Liang Dunyan brought the information back to the Ministry of Communications and immediately summoned the police officers, and even recruited his old classmate Zhan Tianyou through personal relationships. After working on the drawings for more than half a month, Liang Dunyan rushed to the Ministry of Finance without delay after finishing all the drawings.

"Brother Zhang Ming! Brother Zhang Ming!"

Shouting all the way into Fang Zida's office, Fang Zida was shocked when he saw Liang Dunyan's appearance.Liang Dunyan was born in the United States. He is usually polite and pays attention to his image. His gray hair is often neatly combed, he wears a suit and holds a civilized stick, and he looks like an old Keller.But today, if he took a closer look, if he hadn't heard Liang Dunyan's voice, Fang Zida would have thought that a beggar had come from somewhere. He saw Liang Dunyan with messy hair, sunken eye sockets, beard and scumbags, and his clothes were also dirty. I don't know how long it has been changed, the white shirt has almost turned into a yellow shirt, the suit is crumpled like a rag, and before I get close, I can smell a very strong and sour smell of sweat.

"Brother Songsheng...?"

"Haha, it's not me..." Liang Dunyan danced and put the materials in his arms on the table, and sat down on the sofa without elegance, holding his clothes and fanning the wind: "I'm so hot!" , It’s not long since spring started this day, why is it so hot…”

A pungent smell almost choked Fang Zida to sneeze, he quickly took out his cigar and took a deep puff, feeling better in the permeation of the tobacco.

"Brother Songsheng, these are...?"

"This is a reworked plan based on the plan you gave me, as well as budget reports and so on."

Fang Zida was taken aback: "It's only been a few days, so fast?"

"Time doesn't wait for me, time doesn't wait for me!" Liang Dunyan shook his head and said, "My colleagues from the Ministry of Communications spent more than ten days without sleep to rush out. Brother Zhang Ming, I have completed the task you entrusted to me. , and then wait for your rice to go into the pot."

Fang Zida opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time. He took the things Liang Dunyan brought and looked through them. The more he looked, the more shocked he felt.Although he is not professional in engineering design and so on.However, he is still an expert in budget documents and the like. Just by looking at them, he found that the Ministry of Communications has really put a lot of effort into these things. All the preparations are well-organized, and the budget report is very detailed.Except for some small issues with financial formatting.This item has exceeded Fang Zida's original expectations.

Looking up to Liang Dunyan, Fang Zida couldn't help but be filled with emotion when he saw him sipping his tea in a disheveled manner.

Silently walking in front of the other party, Fang Zida bowed to Liang Dunyan solemnly.

"Brother Zhang Ming. You...you are...."

Liang Dunyan was taken aback, and quickly got up to ask.

"Brother Songsheng, I thank you on behalf of all Chinese people, and thank you for the contribution made by the Ministry of Communications."

"This...how do you say this...it's all about contributing to the country, shouldn't it be all right..." Liang Dunyan blushed.Some waved his hands at a loss, and after Fang Zida sat down beside him, he couldn't help asking: "This...brother Zhang Ming, brother, I patted my chest in the ministry. Look, this plan and budget I've figured it all out, and please tell me the truth, brother Zhang Ming, when will the funds be available..."

"Brother Songsheng, don't worry." Fang Zida replied seriously, "I'll give you an accurate answer in five days, at most five days. How about it?"

"Okay! Then I will be quiet and good news for my brother." Although Liang Dunyan wanted Fang Zida to give him a definite answer today, he also knew that Fang Zida could promise himself five days for such a big project.Immediately he stood up, nodded, smiled and left.

After seeing off Liang Dunyan, Fang Zida returned to the office, looked at the pile of things and thought about it.He rang the bell to call for a temporary meeting to conduct a routine review of the budget of the Ministry of Communications, and to produce a new budget report based on the plan he had prepared long ago.

After dealing with these matters, Yang Du just rushed over.He brought good news.Sun Wen's case has been loosened due to the overwhelming statement made earlier.In addition, the United States intervened, and Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao were acquitted in the end. Even the guards will return to China at the same time due to insufficient evidence.

"Okay! This is good news!" Fang Zida was immediately overjoyed. Originally, he planned to change generals temporarily, since Jiang Zhiqing and others will be able to return to China soon, so they should be responsible for this plan, so as not to cause complications.

Three days later, Jiang Zhiqing, Dai Jitao and others arrived in Tianjin by cruise ship. Fang Zida was busy with business, so he asked Yang Yongtai to meet him at the pier, and rushed back to the capital that night.

After throwing a banquet to welcome the two of them, Fang Zida and these confidants had a long talk in the house until the next morning.Another day later, which was the time Fang Zida and Liang Dunyan agreed on, as soon as he walked into the gate of the Ministry of Finance early in the morning, he saw Liang Dunyan anxiously wandering around the door of his office, waiting for him.

"Brother Zhang Ming, today..."

"Hehe, Brother Songsheng, don't you think my ability to talk doesn't count? I planned to call you after I got to the office, but I didn't expect Brother Songsheng to come earlier. That's fine, come on, let's go in and talk."

Opening the office door, Fang Zida and Liang Dunyan walked in, asked the office staff to make a cup of tea, then Fang Zida picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, and said a few words. Not long after, Yang Du, Yang Yongtai, Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao arrived one after another.

"Brother Songsheng, you should know Xizi and Changqing. This is Jiang Zhiqing, Jiang Ruiyuan, and this is Dai Jitao and Dai Chuanxian."

First introduced the people who came down, everyone greeted with a smile, then Fang Zida nodded at Jiang Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing knowingly took out a document from the purse he was carrying.

"Mr. Songsheng, according to the final calculation of the plan and budget of the Ministry of Communications by the Ministry of Finance and Zhongyang Bank, in the next 15 years, Zhongyang Bank will allocate 38 billion yuan, which is an estimated allocation of 2.5 billion yuan per year. About [-] million yuan. This special fund will be used as a special purpose for the construction of railway network and road network. Expenditures must be jointly signed by the Ministry of Communications and the dispatched commissioner, and sent to the Ministry of Finance and Zhongyang Bank for separate records before they can be used..."

Jiang Zhiqing made a big request according to the scriptures. Liang Dunyan was not angry when he heard this, but smiled.Since Fang Zida attaches so much importance to funding, he allocates 2.5 million yuan a year in one breath. Of course, he must be carefully supervised, which also shows his sincerity.He, Liang Dunyan, just wanted to do some practical things, and he didn't use his brain to try to gain benefits for himself. In his eyes, money and the like were just the conditions for doing things, not anything else.

"That's no problem!" After Jiang Zhiqing finished speaking, Liang Dunyan agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiqing had finished speaking, Liang Dunyan asked when the funds would be available after he agreed, and Yang Du said, "Brother Songsheng, don't worry, I still have something here, please listen to it."

"Oh, what is Xizi going to say?"

Yang Du smiled, and took out a document and handed it to Liang Dunyan: "To be honest, such a large amount of money cannot be paid out with our country's financial strength. In fact, it is allocated by the Ministry of Finance. In the final analysis, it is financed by the Central Yang Bank and then transferred to the bank. The Ministry of Finance allocates. Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate with the Ministry of Communications on the ownership and management of the new railway network and road network to avoid conflicts in the future.”

"Xizi mean...?" Liang Dunyan suddenly shuddered in his heart, frowning and asked: "You don't mean to say that the money was borrowed from a foreign country? This is absolutely not allowed! The right of way cannot be transferred, this is a very important matter The story of the Sichuan Railway back then is vivid in my memory, once it gets out, you and I will die without a place to die!"

Liang Dunyan was talking about the road protection movement back then, which led to the revolution only for the Manchu Qing to take back the railway rights, which was also the fuse of the Manchu Qing's downfall.What's more, since the Opium War, the Chinese have always attached great importance to the right of way, equating the right of way with the power of the country, and whoever gives up the right of way is a traitor. This is a red line, and even Yuan Shikai dared not touch it back then.Although Liang Dunyan was jealous of having such a large amount of funds, he was still clear-headed. If the source of the money was not correct, if there were any problems, Liang Dunyan, as the chief of transportation, would definitely be scolded and ruined.

"What did Brother Songsheng say? Is it possible that I, Yang Du, don't know the benefits?" Yang Du laughed and explained that the right of way is still in the hands of the state, but the Ministry of Communications will transfer the ownership to Zhong Yang Bank as a Mortgage, and the exclusive 50-year operating right by Zhong Yang Bank.The Ministry of Communications is only responsible for surveying, road construction, maintenance, etc. As compensation, the Ministry of Finance allocates another 1000 million yuan per year to subsidize it, but the ownership and management rights are transferred from the Ministry of Communications to Zhongyang Bank.

"If this is the case... it's okay..." Liang Dunyan thought about it, as long as he didn't sell the right of way to the outside world, he didn't care who owns the ownership and management rights. Whether it is the Zhongyang Bank or the Ministry of Communications, they all belong to the state Well.After reading the document description handed over by Yang Du, Liang Dunyan was completely relieved and said that he could accept it.

Then, the two sides discussed specific issues. The meeting lasted from morning to afternoon. During the meeting, Liang Dunyan called several directors of the Ministry of Communications to come and participate in the meeting. The agreement was signed in the office of the Prime Minister and filed with the Prime Minister's Office.

At the end of the meeting, Fang Zida paid the Ministry of Communications 800 million yuan in survey funds in the name of the Ministry of Finance, and the remaining funds will be allocated gradually according to the progress of the project.With the check in his arms, Liang Dunyan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Looking at Fang Zida, he was even closer than his grandfather.

Watching Liang Dunyan go away, Yang Du couldn't help laughing and said: "Fang Zhangming, Fang Zhangming, I really admire you. Guess what expression Liang Songsheng would have if he knew the truth? What does the old saying say? That is to sell you and happily help count the money!"

As soon as Yang Du finished speaking, everyone burst out laughing at the same time.
