Fengxian Jiangshan

Wu Junsheng only got the title of assistant military affairs officer.Nominally, his power is not as great as that of Zhang Zuoxiang's aftermath supervision, and Lao Wu is also very dissatisfied. The situation in Heilongjiang is similar to that before the war, and it has returned to the situation of all parties playing games, but Xu Lanzhou, who was the most powerful in the past, has fallen and replaced him. The more powerful Wu Junsheng.

Since Lao Zhang does not have the title of patrol envoy, it is not easy to make a unified appointment of officials from the three northeastern provinces.Many government affairs cannot be implemented, so Zhang Zuolin is also very depressed.

"Marshal, you don't have to worry. Whether Duan Qirui admits it or not, you are the master of the three eastern provinces. It doesn't matter what your title is. The important thing is that the entire army will obey your command."

Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin felt very warm in his heart. It is very clear who is close and who is not. .”

"Oh?" Old Zhang's eyes also brightened. He didn't know how to completely control the three eastern provinces. Beiyang stumbled, and the pressure from the Japanese did not disappear. The most urgent thing was to unify all forces.

"Zhuoyan, tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

"Marshal, I suggest starting with financial rights. After the war, Jilin's economic system almost collapsed, so I asked my father to issue a statement on behalf of Jilin, merging Jilin's official bank account into Fengtian Bank, unifying the two currencies, and abolishing Jilin. Then Heilongjiang is following up, I think Zhu Qinglan is a smart person, and he will be willing to hand over power if he reciprocates. After the three currency policies are unified, let Mr. Minyuan take the lead in unifying the fiscal policies of the three provinces, so that financial power will be completely unified."

Fiscal power and monetary power have always been two sides of the same coin, and must be used together. It seems that only the European Union in later generations foolishly launched the euro and unified currency, but failed to unify finances, which caused the subsequent debt crisis.

"After the financial power is unified, don't you still carry the name of the commander-in-chief of the three eastern provinces to suppress bandits? You might as well set up a headquarters and ask the military leaders of the three provinces to participate together. The only person who is qualified is Wu Junsheng, my father, and then Adding Zhu Qinglan, Uncle Wu and my father are both your sworn brothers, like brothers and sisters, and Zhu Qinglan has received your favor, so how can he oppose you, and you can also use the name of the head of the headquarters to order Dong The three provinces, won’t the military power be unified like this?”

After Zhang Tinglan put forward his suggestion, Lao Zhang thought about it carefully, and immediately smiled. This method is indeed good. As long as he holds the gun barrel and money bag firmly in his hand, the three provinces in the east will actually fall into his hands. No one can take it away.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang was still a little moved. When he first met Bao Guiqing, he proposed to unify the currency, but Bao Guiqing repeatedly shirked the blame. In fact, everyone knows that giving up the power of currency issuance is tantamount to cutting flesh, but Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan The two can take the initiative to raise this matter, which shows their loyalty.

Old Zhang even regretted it a bit. Back then, he directly supported Zhang Zuoxiang and let his army station in Jilin, so there would be no troubles later. It seems that at the critical moment, Zhang Zuolin was moved by the reliability of these old brothers, but he ignored it. The unification of the currency has indeed weakened Jilin's local power, but don't forget that Fengtian Bank is still in the hands of Zhang Tinglan. Moved to the right hand.

By the way, he also abducted the monetary power of Heilongjiang, so Zhang Tinglan is also an out-and-out winner.As for the establishment of the Bandit Suppression Headquarters, Zhang Tinglan had a deeper idea. He actually wanted to change Fengjun's patriarchal style and become a committee system.

In the original history, after Lao Zhang served as a tour envoy, he was the veritable master of the three eastern provinces, and he could do everything arbitrarily.But once Zhang Tinglan's method is followed, the so-called Bandit Suppression Headquarters is established, and all major and minor matters must be agreed by all members.

If there are too many differences, votes will naturally be needed to decide. The minority obeys the majority. At present, Fengjun's territory is limited, and the number of people who can squeeze into this headquarters is also limited. It has almost no impact on Lao Zhang's power, but in the long run, Fengjun The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the size of the headquarters will inevitably expand.

Of course, this name will change, and become a military meeting, a military affairs committee, in short, no matter how it changes, as long as the voting decision-making can be guaranteed and the principle of the minority obeying the majority, Fengjun will change from a patriarchal system to a collective leadership system. Don't even try to act arbitrarily, and the strategic mistakes of Fengjun's blind entry into the customs in history can be avoided.

If Lao Zhang knew Zhang Tinglan's deep-seated thoughts, I am afraid that Lao Zhang would not spare him. Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin, an old-fashioned person, although quick-witted, did not see through such deep calculations, so he readily accepted it. Zhang Tinglan's suggestion.

The power of the three northeastern provinces underwent a brand-new reshuffle immediately. Due to the war, the currencies of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces were severely depreciated, and the common people complained a lot.

The chamber of commerce in Jilin took the lead in agreeing that all business transactions between each other would be settled by bills. Then Zhang Zuoxiang announced that the Jilin official bank would be merged into Fengtian Bank and become the Jilin branch of Fengtian Bank, which would be solely responsible for the currency exchange business.

With Zhang Zuoxiang as an example, Zhu Qinglan from Heilongjiang is also hard to resist. After all, without Lao Zhang, how could he return to Heilongjiang, so he can only reluctantly follow up and turn the official bank in Heilongjiang into a branch of Fengtian Bank. The three coins are completely unified.

The market for Fengtian has doubled in an instant. With the support of the three provinces, Fengtian Bank has also grown rapidly, and it has sufficient confidence to face the banks of the big powers.

After the currency was unified, Wang Yongjiang also immediately invited Guo Zongxi and Bi Guifang to demand the unification of fiscal policies in the three provinces. Bi Guifang wanted to object, but Guo Zongxi had already sided with Wang Yongjiang. They joined forces to force the palace, and Bi Guifang could only reluctantly compromise.

After successfully obtaining the financial power, Lao Zhang summoned the military leaders of the three provinces in the name of chasing down the bandits in Jilin and Heilongjiang, and established the so-called bandit suppression headquarters. He brought Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui in.

In fact, this headquarters is no different from the meeting of the Tiger Hall, except that there is one more Zhu Qinglan, but the status has been completely changed. Lao Zhang was able to issue orders to the three eastern provinces smoothly and became the well-deserved leader of the party.At the same time, Zhang Tinglan also got everything he wanted, and with enough stage, the next step is to invest heavily and develop

2Chapter 17 Development Corps

"Everyone line up, each with a new set of clothes, don't make any mess!"

"What about you, do you hear me?"

While speaking, the whip in a young soldier's hand snapped, and it hit a dazed young man, leaving a bruise mark immediately. The painful young man hurriedly stood in the line, not daring to look around.

This is the opposite of Huanggutun Station. Zhang Tinglan built a temporary shelter here, which covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres and can accommodate up to 8000 people. This is the first stop for immigrants entering Fengtian.

They have to register in a unified way here, and then distribute them. The people who come to the three northeastern provinces are also divided into many categories. In addition to the most common refugees, there are also some small merchants, citizens, teachers and workers, etc. They all have With a little capital, you only need to register, obtain a suitable status, and then you can find a job and settle down in Fengtian. Basically, these people will not live in a detention center.

The center is mainly responsible for the refugees. They have no means of earning a living, and they can only farm the land outside the customs. Most of these people have suffered disasters at home and are penniless, even to the point of not covering their clothes.

Clothes, food, and simple instruction will be given to them in the detention center, and then they will be able to move there to form brand new villages and towns after waiting for suitable land to be arranged to settle down and take root.

Zhang Tinglan is responsible for the immigration work of the entire three northeastern provinces. In fact, many people have entered the Guandong. Even if they do not manage it, a large number of people will flow into the three eastern provinces.But Zhang Tinglan insisted that immigration is only a means, and the real purpose is to develop the three eastern provinces and strengthen the Fengjun. Therefore, all immigrants must be managed from the first day they enter the three eastern provinces, and they cannot be like a mess.

Otherwise, just a single acclimatization is enough to kill many people.In the original history, a large number of ordinary people died on the road to the Guandong. Zhang Tinglan's arrangement was also responsible for all immigrants.

Now it happens to be a rainy season, and many areas in the pass have been hit by disasters, plus the war between Beiyang and the guards.As a result, the Beiyang government has no energy to settle these victims, and countless victims have been displaced and reduced to refugees.

Zhang Tinglan had already made friends with those Shanxi merchants and asked them to transport personnel outside the customs. According to the number of people, they could get corresponding rewards.This also attracted the attention of many businessmen, who took the initiative to help make contact, and batches of disaster victims were continuously sent outside the customs.

"Sir, you see, the villain has sent more than 150 people, one yuan per person, plus travel expenses and food, you should give me 400 yuan. Why is it only 230 yuan? It's not easy for a small one to do things for you , you can’t let the villain lose money!”

"You don't have to cry poorly. I have questioned these people just now. More than [-] refugees died on the road, and what you gave them were cornmeal, rotten leaves, and even some wild vegetables. It's not worth a few dollars. What can you give them? This money from you is already considered a great mercy, if you dare not take the life and death of the refugees seriously, you will never even think about doing this business!"

Wang Songting is currently in charge of managing the detention center. He waved his hands like a fly.After sending the businessman away, it happened that Zhang Tinglan also came here to inspect at this time, and Wang Songting hurriedly greeted him.

"Director, thank you for your blessing. Five groups of people came here today, a total of more than 700 people. Including the people who came here two days ago, it is enough to build a new town!"

"I am dissatisfied with the action, how is the status of the new immigrants?"

Wang Songting smiled wryly and shook his head: "To be honest, it's not very good. Most of them are disaster victims. They were suffering from hunger and cold, and they drove a long way to Fengtian. Many people died of exhaustion along the way. .”

"Didn't we ask these businessmen to provide medicine to the victims? We also promised them to reimburse the train tickets. We paid for this. Why don't they care about the lives of the people and let them die on the road?"

"Director, businessmen have to calculate their own profits in everything they do. Medical treatment is not a small amount of money, and if the patient is dragged down, it will also affect their walking speed. As for taking the train, although it is good, it costs too much, so it is a lot of money. No one would let the disaster victims sit, and some people even made fake train tickets and came to us to cheat money. I have seen the face of the so-called unscrupulous profiteers.”

"How could they do this, isn't this just disregarding human life?"

Wang Songting saw that the person who asked the question was a young girl who was following Zhang Tinglan. She was beautiful and dignified, but also showed a trace of new style from inside to outside. She didn't look like an ordinary person. He didn't know how to address her for a while, so he was a little embarrassed.

"This is Dr. Zhou Xinyao. I invited her to help check the sanitation of the detention center." Zhang Tinglan introduced from the side.

"It turned out to be Dr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work!" Wang Songting said: "You may not know, but after all, it's just a profit. Businessmen are after profits, and they don't want to do business that loses money. They don't want to make money if they can make a hundred dollars." Fifty, there is no way to avoid it. And if these victims stay in their hometowns, even fewer people will survive, so they will fight outside the customs, and no one cares about how many people died along the way!"

"Then you can't just watch, you have to find a way, can't you?"

Wang Songting saw Zhou Xinyao's questioning, and Zhang Tinglan next to him was also very concerned. He hurriedly took them to his office, took out a document and sent it to Zhang Tinglan.

"Director, this is the latest regulation I have drawn up. Wherever the victims are recruited, they must be registered, and each victim must sign and pledge as proof of our acceptance. During the transportation process, if the death rate of the victims is less than 5.00%, we will Pay in full, if it is higher than this figure, we will deduct money, if it exceeds 30.00%, don’t even think about getting a penny.”

"This method is good. It is difficult to prevent the death of the victims, but it must be controlled to the greatest extent. We are saving people, and we can't become harm. Of course, we can't be fools. Just now you said that businessmen will make some fake train tickets to cheat money. Is there any solution to this kind of thing?"

"There is also a way. After the victims arrive in Fengtian, we will ask them in detail, how many people there are when they come, how they got here along the way, and the food and drink. We will investigate and compare with the information provided by the merchants. If If there is a serious discrepancy, money will also be withheld or even punished.”

"How can we guarantee that the disaster victims are telling the truth? Will they not collude with the businessman?" Zhou Xinyao asked curiously as soon as he heard that the businessman didn't care about human life and wanted to do other immoral things.

Wang Songting said with a smile: "Actually, I don't care whether they are telling the truth. In short, the expenses of the merchants have to be shared equally among the victims. Only after paying off the loan can they get their own land." If they help the businessmen to lie, they will suffer the loss in the end. I learned this method from the director. I heard that they used it during the disaster relief in Liaoyang. The common people there are vying to find ways to save money! "

Zhang Tinglan deliberated on the plan in front of him again, and then asked: "Songting, you said that we want to ensure the survival rate of the victims, will those people deliberately only want some young and strong when accepting the victims, and leave the old and weak, women and children alone?" Leave it alone, that won't work!"

Although immigrant work requires a strong labor force, it is also necessary for this group of labor force to stay in the three northeastern provinces. Therefore, the best immigration is the migration of one family after another. The ratio of men to women in the three northeastern provinces is not seriously out of balance.

Otherwise, a large group of bachelors will be troublesome in the end.Wang Songting hurriedly said: "The director is right, then I will add another one, and provide some rewards for those who move their families!"

"Well, in short, when doing immigration work, we must constantly find and solve problems, and try our best to ensure the quality and quantity of immigrants!"

In fact, Zhang Tinglan also had an account in mind. In areas where Fengtian forces cannot reach, entrusting the immigration work to businessmen will definitely cause many disadvantages, and no matter how strict the regulations are, there will always be loopholes to exploit.
