Years of the Republic of China 1913

No one is a fool, and everyone knows the benefits. Compared with last night's debate, today's meeting discussion is more intense.Fang Zida, who had been prepared for a long time, asked Liao Zhongkai to take the minutes of the meeting, and every time he confirmed one item, he would formally record it in the form of words. The meeting lasted from morning to evening. Various parties put forward nearly 70 proposals, and Fang Zida did not refuse. After Liao Zhongkai sorted out the minutes of the meeting, he immediately announced that these more than 70 proposals were officially formed as the main purpose of the post-war government. The bill was led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and assisted by the Ministry of Justice. The result was a happy one.

At the end of the meeting, the chief executives who were still immersed in the excitement chatted happily and left. Fang Zida, who had hardly had a rest since last night, felt sleepy after relaxing.Picking up the coffee in front of him and taking a sip, he closed his eyes and put his hand on the table, rubbing his forehead lightly with his thumb.

"Zhang Ming, are you alright?" Hearing a concerned voice from the side, Fang Zida opened his eyes and saw Tang Shaoyi, the chief financial officer, looking at him.

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired." Fang Zida replied with a smile.

Nodding slightly, Tang Shaoyi saw that other people had left the meeting room, and then asked in a low voice: "Chang Ming, I'm afraid this proposal is not appropriate today?"

"What's wrong?"

Tang Shaoyi said solemnly: "There are more than 70 bills. Although I don't deny that some of these bills have a high possibility of success, but with the economic strength and financial revenue of the Republic of China, it is impossible to meet all the requirements. Besides, such a big matter must be hidden. But the eyes of all countries, we are not all fools in the countries of the Allied Powers. Who would not understand the key point? Especially Japan. Since the Sino-Japanese War, Japan has been suppressing China since the Sino-Japanese War. In the early stage, it took advantage of the war in Europe to attack Fengtian, Jiaodong, etc. Obviously, its wolfish ambitions are obvious. Japan will certainly not turn a blind eye to such a move from our country, and will definitely come up with some tricks at that time."

"Hehe, of course I know that." Fang Zida replied with a smile.

"Then why do you still...?" Tang Shaoyi blurted out in surprise, but he understood immediately as soon as the words came out.After all, Tang Shaoyi was a former prime minister. Seeing Fang Zicheng's well-thought-out appearance, he suddenly thought of another possibility.

"Are you saying...the proposal belongs to the proposal, and the success or failure belongs to the success or failure?"

"Yes!"

Fang Zida nodded with a smile and said, "Your enthusiasm should be encouraged. Besides, this is a good thing. Why let everyone down by being too stuck in the motion? But no matter how the motion is, you still have to do things within your capabilities. Eat one bite at a time, and do things one by one. This is the so-called saying that you can’t become fat in one sitting. The amount of appropriation from the state’s finances is fixed. No matter how powerful you and I are, it’s impossible to conjure up money out of thin air? "

Tang Shaoyi was dumbfounded when he heard that, isn't this Fang Zi Da Mazi called Mazi or a cheater?In the cabinet meeting, such a big pie was thrown out, and in the end, it got stuck financially. It is estimated that not even half of the more than 70 bills can really succeed.Is it appropriate to do so?Tang Shaoyi couldn't help worrying about Fang Zida. Once the chief ministers of the cabinet turned their anger on Fang Zida in disappointment, wouldn't they shoot themselves in the foot?

"How is it possible?" Seeing Tang Shaoyi worrying about himself, Fang Zida shook his head and smiled and said, "Our government's finances are open, and we can do as many things as we have, as long as we make arrangements according to priorities. A bowl of water is flat, and everyone will There is nothing to say. In other words. Isn’t there still war reparations? Mr. Shaochuan, don’t underestimate this reparation. If it works well, it’s not a small amount. What’s more, these bills are now under the responsibility of the heads of various ministries, and the Eight Immortals cross the sea. Supernatural powers, maybe it can be done, but it’s not impossible.”

"This..." Tang Shaoyi was dizzy for a while, Fang Zida's words sounded reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong.But I couldn't figure it out for a while.As for the reaction of Japan and other countries, Fang Zida didn't care. There are some things that can't be hidden, so just do it openly.At that time, Japan's state-owned ability can do the same, let's take a look at their own abilities.If he has the ability to move the whole of Germany back to Japan, Fang Zida has nothing to say.This is a conspiracy. What can the Japanese do under the eyes of the world?

Frowning slightly and pondering for a long time, Tang Shaoyi felt that her brain was not enough.At this time Fang Zida didn't stay long, got up and said goodbye and went back to the mansion to rest.After Fang Zida left, Tang Shaoyi still thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and smiled wryly.

Back at the mansion, Fang Zida did not rest early, but went to the study patiently tired.Yang Du, who had been waiting for him in the study for a long time, saw Fang Zida come in with a tired face, and quickly got up and said, "Shang Ming, why don't you go and rest first, and we can talk tomorrow?"

"It's okay, I have some things to talk about earlier, I can still bear this tiredness." He waved his hand to signal Yang Du to sit down, took the hot towel sent by the servant and wiped it off a few times, took a sip of strong tea, and lit it. Taking a deep breath on the cigar, he suddenly felt much more awake.

"What do you think of the proposal at today's cabinet meeting?"

Although Yang Du, as the governor of the central bank, is not an official member of the cabinet, he also attended today's meeting as a nonvoting delegate.Moreover, among the more than 70 proposals at today's meeting, Yang Du contributed a lot to the flames. It can be said that Yang Du contributed a lot to the formation of this proposal.

Hearing Fang Zida's question, Yang Du laughed immediately: "How can Yang not know what Zhang Mingzhi thinks? This bill belongs to the bill, and success or failure is success or failure. The two cannot be discussed together."

"Hahaha, Xizi is worthy of being Xizi!" Fang Zida clapped his palms and laughed, Yang Du also laughed, the two of them had the same heart, and everything was in it.

"Germany's heavy industry, especially military technology, equipment, middle and lower officers, scientists and skilled workers, these are our real goals. I will leave this matter to you, Xizi, and I will inform Cao Runtian to cooperate with you. As for the others It is up to them to figure it out separately, if it can be done, it is of course good, if it can’t be done, it doesn’t matter.”

"Understood, but some of these matters have been handed over to the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. If I negotiate directly..." Yang Du asked with some concerns.

"It doesn't matter." Fang Zida drew a circle in the air with a cigar in his hand: "Although the cabinet bills are assigned to the heads of various departments, Xizi, don't forget that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice are the main ones to come forward. What's more, you are the president of the Central Bank. There is no need to spend money on these things? You, the God of Wealth, they only praise you when they see you, how can they think you are in the way? Of course, you must be careful in it. Some things should not be known to outsiders. Keep it secret, you just need to do everything you should do, and turn a blind eye to the rest, let them toss about."

"Hehe, Zhang Ming is really good at scheming. I'm afraid no one would have thought of this Mingxiu Plank Road's secret plan? If these chief executives knew the real goal, they would probably be very angry."

"Hey, this is also a helpless move. Speaking of it, the country is weak and the cabinet is not united. Otherwise, I would not do this. When you finish the important things, you can help them as much as you can, so as not to Make some people look bad." Fang Zida sighed, paused and said: "As for the part of the funds, it will go from the Ministry of Finance, and the other part will be allocated directly from the United States according to what was discussed in advance. But Xizi, remember, This money must be kept strictly confidential and must not be revealed to anyone but you and me."

Yang Du suppressed his smile and nodded his head: "Don't worry about it, I know the pros and cons."

Fang Zida is still very relieved when Yang Du handles affairs. This person is not a person who has nothing to say. In the end, Fang Zida told him a few more words, asking him to go to Shanghai as soon as possible, and urging Jiang Zhiqing to speed up the bond issuance. To raise funds in the shortest possible time.

Jiang Zhiqing is now well-known in Shanghai*Shanghai. He now holds the Asian distribution rights of various financial derivatives, plus the underground foreign exchange market that he cooperates with several bigwigs in Shanghai*Bund and the Kansai business community in Japan. There are a lot of gains every day.In order to commend Jiang Zhiqing's contribution, Fang Zida has promoted him to the position of vice president of the central bank. From this point of view, Jiang Zhiqing can be regarded as a senior government official.

In addition, Fang Zida instructed Jiang Zhiqing and the American consortium to start preparations non-stop after negotiating the bond issue with the orthodox government of the Russian Empire.The Central Bank of the Russian Empire has been officially established a few days ago. After the establishment of the central bank, the new Russian currency, that is, the new ruble printing will be produced by the Central Bank of China. And underwrite.Second only to these, the Chinese and American consortia can reap huge profits, and with the astronomical gold reserves of the Russian Empire's orthodox government as a guarantee, the sale of these bonds is not a problem at all.

According to the budget, the government appropriation is far from meeting Fang Zida's plan. Moreover, if the fiscal expenditure exceeds the budget, it must be approved by the Congress and the Presidential Office. If the amount is too large, it will cause unnecessary trouble.So Fang Zida asked Yang Du to be in charge of this matter, and most of the sources of funds were not through the Ministry of Finance, but paid by the Central Bank.This can be regarded as a purely commercial operation, which can bypass Congress to achieve the most convenient and effective effect.As for the American consortium, Fang Zida has also made a plan. Capitalists are always extremely greedy. Of course, the German Yankees who split up the powerful will be interested. You must know that they can obtain huge benefits as long as they change hands, and the price they pay But it is extremely small.So Fang Zida is not worried that his plan will fail, because behind him is the shadow of the American consortium. When releasing smoke that confuses everyone, Fang Zida can obtain everything he needs at the fastest speed and at the lowest cost. (To be continued..)
