"If the governor knows that Fu Lao (Song Yuren) wants to see him, he will be very happy."

78 cooperation

Song Yuren agreed, and Jiang Hongyu was very happy.

It can be regarded as completing a task assigned by Duan Xun.Although they are all Sichuan, Sichuan is also divided into many different factions.Just like the Sichuan Army is also divided into the Accelerated Department, which is the faction dominated by students who graduated from the Sichuan Army Accelerated Academy.There is also the Baoding Department, of course, mainly students who graduated from Baoding Military Academy.Above them is the non-commissioned officer department, which is the student faction who graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school.

The Sichuan army is like this, and Sichuan is also divided into factions in the political and cultural circles.The two largest factions are the Chengdu and Chongqing circles.Although these two cities belong to Sichuan, the circles of the two cities are not quite the same.Not only are they different, Chengdu and Chongqing compete with each other in Sichuan, and they can't get used to each other.Whether in terms of politics, economy, culture, or even the military, Chengdu and Chongqing are divided into factions.

Chengdu looks down on Chongqing, and Chongqing is not convinced by Chengdu.Moreover, there are mostly conservatives in Chengdu, and there are mostly revolutionaries and Gelaohui in Chongqing.There are also many differences in their political stances.

Duan Xun is an outsider.

After coming to Sichuan, if you want to stabilize Sichuan, you can only mix and match.

Transfer people from Chongqing to Chengdu, transfer people from Chengdu to Chongqing, and do some crossover.This will prevent them from staying in a certain place for too long, and they have conflicts with each other, which is greatly conducive to Duan Xun's control of Sichuan.If the Sichuan people are too united, Duan Xun, an outsider, will feel uncomfortable.

Transferring Song Yuren to Chengdu also has this idea.

"Thanks for the old age."

After Jiang Hongyu and Song Yuren finished speaking, they turned to Chu and said, "Mr. Xian Qiao, the governor also hopes that you can come out of the mountain."

"I?"

Xiang Chu smiled.

The 39-year-old Xiang Chu is also a celebrity in Sichuan. It should be said that he is a leader of the Sichuan Revolutionary Party.He was one of the main propagandists, organizers and leaders of the [-] Revolution in Chongqing.After the recovery of Chongqing, he served as the president of the Secretary of the Shu Military Government and the Director of the Secretary of the Sichuan Military Government.During the War to Protect the Nation, he participated in the conspiracy to instigate the uprising of the "Haguto Cruiser".

This person has a good reputation in Sichuan.

Because after the Revolution of 270, the military government in Chongqing was short of money, and the money was very short.Xiang Chu was ordered to take over the Daqing Bank and Junchuan Bank of the Qing government.It took only two people to take down all the bank account books, and withdrew all the deposits of [-] million silver dollars in the two banks together, which solved the financial crisis of the Chongqing military government.However, Xiang Chu managed to put the money into his own pocket without compromising public welfare and private interests under such a poor situation, and his integrity was affirmed by the whole Chongqing.

Not long ago, Duan Xun and Xiang Chu were enemies, because Xiang Chu supported the National Defense Movement.

"Duan Xun still wants me to leave the mountain?"

Duan Xun.

Now he is the governor of Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan.But people like Xiang Chu have never been afraid of power.So he said indifferently in front of Jiang Hongyu: "Hahaha. Duan Xun, a person who suppressed the movement to protect the country, also wants me to come out to help. Do you think I will agree?"

"Mr. Xian Qiao, everyone is their master. There is no right or wrong on the battlefield."

Jiang Hongyu was not angry.

Jiang Hongyu was such a person.Being able to serve as the chief of staff for Duan Xun, being able to handle conflicts in the army and local conflicts.Even as the mayor of Chongqing like this now, he can handle things with ease.

"In the past, it is useless to distinguish right from wrong. And who can say who is right and who is wrong in the past, and history is left to future generations to evaluate. Isn't the most important thing for everyone now? Xian Qiao Gong, you As you may know, Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui) is now the Prime Minister of the State and the Chief of the Army. Governor Duan is Duan Hefei’s nephew and son-in-law, and he has a large army. Regardless, the position of Governor of Sichuan in the next few years will be rock-solid. "

Anger appeared on Xiang Chu's face, but he gradually calmed down.

Because Jiang Hongyu was right.From the current point of view, Duan Xun's position as the governor of Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan is very stable.Because this position was obtained by Duan Xun with his performance on the battlefield.

Coupled with the support of Duan Qirui, there is currently no one who can threaten Duan Xun's position.

"Mr. Xian Qiao, this is the end of the matter. Shouldn't we be thinking about the future of Sichuan? When you come out of the mountain, you can think of it as helping the governor, but in fact it is not helping the elders of Sichuan. Just like you are now, if the governor does something Things, you think it's wrong, but the governor doesn't care what you say. Because you and the governor are completely parallel, how can the governor care about what you say. But if you are in a high position, you are right around the governor , then when the governor does something wrong, you have enough status and opportunity to persuade the governor. This will prevent the governor from making some wrong judgments. Similarly, Mr. Xianqiao is in a high position and can help me in Sichuan Do a lot of beneficial things, isn't this good for me in Sichuan?"

Seeing Jiang Hongyu talking, Song Yuren, Li Zhanyang, Li Heyang couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.Because Jiang Hongyu was too powerful, it was inevitable to talk to Chu Bi in a few words.

It seems that if you don't agree, then you are the sinner of the elders in Sichuan.

Not ordinary people.

In fact, Jiang Hongyu is really not famous, because Jiang Hongyu was born in the army, and he has been in the army after graduating from the military academy.If it weren't for Jiang Hongyu's sudden appointment as the guard of eastern Sichuan and the mayor of Chongqing, many people would not know Jiang Hongyu at all.After all, Jiang Hongyu did not personally participate in this war to protect the country, unlike the famous generals like Li Jishen, Shang Zhen, and Liu Xiang who suppressed the national defense army.The sudden arrival in Chongqing made many powerful people in Chongqing try to find out who Jiang Hongyu was, and asked Duan Xun to hand over such an important place in Chongqing to Jiang Hongyu.

Several people were very curious about Jiang Hongyu.Seeing Jiang Hongyu himself today, several people's evaluation of Jiang Hongyu suddenly became much higher.Even Song Yuren was looking forward to meeting Duan Xun.What a powerful person Duan Xun would be if he could have the assistance of someone like Jiang Hongyu.

Certainly not ordinary people.

Xiang Chu looked at Jiang Hongyu amusedly.Jiang Hongyu was indeed a very powerful talker, Xiang Chu felt that what Jiang Hongyu said was right.If he is in a high position, he can not only do some practical things for the people of Sichuan, but also persuade Duan Xun.

not bad.

So Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I don't know what Governor Duan wants me to do."

"Grand Xian Qiao, after the governor entered Chengdu and re-stated, it was found that there are a lot of assets belonging to our Sichuan government. However, these assets have been mismanaged in recent years, resulting in the loss of a large number of government assets. Therefore, the governor plans to set up a government in Sichuan. The Sichuan Provincial Assets Management Bureau specializes in managing assets belonging to the government.”

"Which are there?"

Xiang Chu asked directly.

"That's too much. The land, real estate, and real estate under the names of governments at all levels, as well as my mines in Sichuan, and the industries invested by the government back then are all government assets. All assets, including Liu Peilie, who committed the crime this time, will be confiscated." , are all government assets. As well as industries that the government needs to invest in in the future, various resources in Sichuan Province, including Sichuan salt, are all government assets.”

"I understand what you mean."

Xiang Chu nodded.

There is nothing new about managing government properties.As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were similar departments.It's just that it's not like Duan Xun who wants to directly set up a department to directly manage these industries.

Xiang Chu didn't resist this.

Because after the establishment of the Chongqing military government, Xiang Chu was in charge of these.Because China's government has been strong since ancient times, the assets under the name of the government are very huge, which is incomparable to any private rich.However, these assets have always been mismanaged, or colluded with each other, resulting in a very serious loss of property.

But the same is very difficult to manage.

Because those who dare to embezzle these government assets are the government's own people.Each one has a deep background and is very difficult to deal with.

"I need all the information on this."

"No problem. The governor believes that the only person in Sichuan who can take on this important task is Xian Qiao Gong (Xiang Chu)."

Jiang Hongyu spoke with a smile.

Then he continued: "Just right, Mr. Xian Qiao, you are also here. Although you have not taken up this position yet, you can also help me to refer to it. Brother Pei Zhi (Li Heyang), your Chuanjiang Shipping Company is the largest shipping company in Chongqing. Now that the European War broke out, the shipping on the Yangtze River is getting more and more busy. I think your Li family’s Chuanjiang Shipping Company also needs to develop. This time, our Chongqing Municipal Government confiscated Liu Peilie’s wharf, cargo ships, and ships. I wonder if we can cooperate. Establish a new Chuanjiang Shipping Company."

"Mayor Jiang means..."

Li family.

That is, the family of Li Yaoting, known as the richest man in Sichuan.Li Yaoting passed away in the year of Xinhai, leaving behind two sons, Li Zhanyang and Li Heyang.Li Zhanyang appeared more in the political circle, and Li Heyang was in charge of the Li family's property.

Chuanjiang Steamship Company is the industry of the Li family, and it is also the largest steamship company in Sichuan.

"We don't lose anyone, so we calculate according to the market price. Let's see how many shares each of us can take if we cooperate. Our government's attitude is that we don't participate in such business operations, and we only send people to supervise the finances."

"Can you keep your word?"

"of course."
