Where does Jin Yunpeng have money?

If there is no money to pay the salaries of the Beijing government staff, and if there is no way to pay the troops under the Ministry of the Army, the whole country will force the palace.Jin Yunpeng's cabinet can't survive at all.

"Where is Yifu (Liang Shiyi) now?"

"Mr. Liang is in Hong Kong."

"Should contact him."

Zhou Ziqi nodded.

Liang Shiyi was the head of the old transportation department, and was known as the "Liang God of Wealth" when Yuan Shikai was alive.When Yuan Shikai was in Beijing, all the money was raised with the help of Liang Shiyi.

Great.

Even if he goes to the field, Liang Shiyi's power is still there.If Liang Shiyi appeared in China's financial market now, he would still be able to cause big waves.No one dared to ignore Liang Shiyi.Because there are not one or two people in China's financial circle who have a relationship with Liang Shiyi. In other words, when the big names in China's financial circle rose that year, many people were supported by Liang Shiyi.

This is the network, this is the strength.

Once Jin Yunpeng's cabinet falls, it is natural to invite Liang Shiyi, the former head of the transportation department, in order to raise funds.

"Then I'll go back and contact Liang Gong now."

"kindness."

Zhou Ziqi nodded.But he quickly said: "But tell Yifu, don't rush to go north, let him keep in close contact with us in Hong Kong, wait for a while. The current situation in Beijing is complicated, it is best not to rush north. When Beijing invites Yifu, Let him go north in a prosperous way. Only in this way can he return to Beijing and gain enough power."

"Yes, Mr. Xie is still thoughtful."

Ye Gongchuo nodded repeatedly.

"Go and telegraph Yi Fu."

"it is good."

Ye Gongchuo left Zhou Ziqi's office excitedly.Looking at Ye Gongchuo's back, Zhou Ziqi's eyes shone brightly.He muttered to himself: "Yu Fu, Yu Fu (Ye Gongchuo), the position of the Prime Minister is close at hand, and I want to sit down too."

246 Beijing Government 2

"Brother Zhongshan, if you don't settle this matter, I can't go on working as prime minister. The troops below have already started urging me to pay my military salary. Where do I have any money now, I'm waiting for Guan Yu. If even Guan Yu If there is none, the military salary will not be settled at all.”

Jin Yunpeng was restless.

Immediately meet with Cao Kun, there are Cao Kun, Gao Lingyu, and Cao Rui.Zhang Zuolin had already packed all the things seized from Zhili on a train and brought them to Fengtian, and he himself returned to Fengtian with the army.

Only Cao Kun remained in Tianjin.So Jin Yunpeng can only discuss with Cao Kun.It happened that Cao Kun's younger brothers Cao Rui, Cao Ying, and Gao Lingfei were all in Tianjin.

It is impossible to keep the matter of Guan Yu secret, and most of the powerful factions in China have already got the news.After all, many parties were involved. Representatives of warlords from the Anhui faction participated, as well as representatives of diplomatic missions from Britain, France, the United States, Japan and Italy, so it was impossible to keep it secret.

Very surprised.

None of them thought that Duan Xun and other Anhui warlords would really take Guan Yu back from the diplomatic mission.It made all the warlords go crazy, because they have been coveting Guan Yu for a long time.

Since Duan Xun is capable, so can they.

They were excited, but Jin Yunpeng's face turned green.

He just waited for Guan Yu.

It is already September, and Jin Yunpeng will have two months to take over as Prime Minister.However, in the past two months, apart from being blackmailed by Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin for 2000 million, of course Jin Yunpeng has not yet raised the money, so he can only bet all the national taxes that should have been recovered to Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin.The national tax in the area they control does not need to be handed over.

If this continues, Jin Yunpeng will have even less money in his hands.Therefore, the salary of the Beijing government and the military pay that should have been handed over to the various troops have not yet been paid.

Jin Yunpeng asked Zhou Ziqi and Ye Gongchuo to come out, hoping that they would raise money for him.But these two people are working hard for themselves, and they don't care about the national debt they plan to issue at all.

To put it bluntly, the credibility of the Beijing government has almost gone bankrupt.Jin Yunpeng's cabinet is sandwiched between Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin, and no one is optimistic about how long it can last.Under such circumstances, the national debt issued by Jin Yunpeng is not optimistic at all in China.Those big institutions, those banks, who will buy such national debt, who will hoard such national debt.

Once Jin Yunpeng's cabinet falls, these national debts cannot be sold at all, they are just a pile of waste paper.

Jin Yunpeng knows.

Zhou Ziqi and Ye Gongchuo, the old transportation departments, have a way to let domestic banks and financial institutions buy these national bonds.But if they don't work hard, no one in the country will take over.

Since the issuance of treasury bonds was not enough, Jin Yunpeng pinned his hopes on the customs surplus at the end of the year.I hope to use Guan Yu to tide over the difficulties and borrow some money from foreigners next year.But unexpectedly, Guan Yu had another problem.

Jin Yunpeng's head is getting bigger now.

Immediately find Cao Kun to discuss what to do.

"That is to say, the army's military salary has not been paid? Does the Ministry of the Army not care about our troops?"

Cao Rui asked Jin Yunpeng with a bad face.

There are many troops in the country, but there are differences between troops.The troops directly under the Ministry of the Army are all named as the First Division of the Central Army and the Second Division of the Central Army.Such a designation is to distinguish it from those local armies.

Just like the First Division of the Shaanxi Army, the First Division of the Henan Army, and the First Division of the Hubei Army.

The designations of these two units are different, and the treatment they receive is also different.The army with the XXX designation of the Central Army in front is a designation recognized by the Ministry of the Army, and it is a unit that receives the military salary of the Ministry of the Army.As for the designation of the local troops, it is the troops that need the local warlords to raise their own salaries to support them.

Not many units received War Department designations, but not many.

Cao Kun has many troops with such numbers here.For example, Wu Peifu's Third Division, Zheng Shiqi's Fifth Division, Feng Yuxiang's No.16 Mixed Brigade, and Sun Yue's No.15 Mixed Brigade have a total of 7 to [-] troops. .

But the Beijing government has no money, and the Ministry of the Army can't pay the troops, so Cao Kun and the others are responsible for the military salaries of these troops.This is not a small amount, the military salary of these troops is several million a year.

The money was originally given by the Beijing government, but now he has to pay for it himself. Of course, Cao Rui's face is not good.

"That's the way it is at the moment."

Jin Yunpeng nodded.

Military pay?

Now Jin Yunpeng can't even pay the salary of the Beijing government staff, not to mention the military salary.The military salary of the national army needs tens of millions, where does Jin Yunpeng get it from.

When Duan Qirui was there, because he was short of money, the Anhui troops were well paid.But for the direct troops, they are very stingy.Even if Jin Yunpeng doesn't care about the Anhui troops, just the Central Army troops among the direct troops, there are still 10,000+ troops.Including the Fengtian Central Army, the Ministry of the Army needs to manage more than 20 troops.

Where is the money to pay them military salaries.

"You can't even come up with money, so what kind of prime minister are you?"

Cao Rui immediately satirized Jin Yunpeng.

Cao Rui is nine years older than Jin Yunpeng.Moreover, Duan Qirui was promoted by Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin in cooperation. You, Jin Yunpeng, just picked up a bargain to get in with the Prime Minister.

Anyway, Cao Kun looked down on Jin Yunpeng.

So it was a harsh irony.
