When Yuan Shikai was the chief financial officer, he borrowed tens of millions and tens of millions.In the history of China after the Republic of China, Liang Shiyi was the one with the strongest ability to raise money.

Compared with the old transportation department represented by Liang Shiyi, the new transportation department established by Duan Qirui was not a little bit worse.

"Cao Gong, he can't do it. He is too famous and powerful, which is not good for Cao Gong. Cao Gong and Zhou Ziqi have a good relationship. It is more beneficial for us to push Zhou Ziqi up. I think Zhou Ziqi is also waiting for such an opportunity."

Gao Lingxuan immediately advised Cao Kun.

Liang Shiyi is too powerful. He was a pole of Yuan Shikai's government back then, supporting Yuan Shikai's finances.If he came back out of the rivers and lakes to assume the post of Prime Minister, those officials from the old transportation department would all attach themselves to Liang Shiyi's side.

At that time, it will not be conducive to Cao Kun's control.

On the contrary, Zhou Ziqi is different.

Although Zhou Ziqi is also a bigwig in the old transportation department, he is also very capable, and he is older than Liang Shiyi.But in terms of appeal to the old transportation department, it is not as good as Liang Shiyi.

More importantly, Zhou Ziqi, as Yuan Shikai's confidant, has a very good relationship with the same confidant Cao Kun.

"kindness."

Cao Kun nodded slightly, and said to Gao Lingxuan, "Talk to Zizhen (Zhou Ziqi) quietly and see what he means."

Zhou Ziqi is an expert in financial management.

There was such an evaluation of Zhou Ziqi back then, how Zhou Ziqi made money, first borrowed money from the UK, went to the US to exchange dollars, then got the money to the UK to exchange for pounds, and finally bought cheap Japanese goods, and then sold them at a high price.

Anyway, many people say that Zhou Ziqi is very sensitive to changes in exchange rates and prices.A lot of money can be made for the treasury in between transfers.

It does look good to have him as Prime Minister.

"Yes."

"I'm leaving now, to Baoding. Otherwise, Yiqing (Jin Yunpeng) will come and bother me every day for the disarmament. Disarmament, hehehe."

"it is good."

The willingness of the diplomatic missions to negotiate has been very clear.

They are going to give in.

Duan Xun now controls several customs with huge import and export volume.Including Chongqing, Wanxian, Hankou, and Changsha, these are all well-known customs in China.Down there are places like Nanning, Mengzi, and Xi'an.

Tariffs are very high.

As long as Guan Yu is taken down, Duan Xun will not have the slightest pressure to repay the Japanese loan he borrowed.In addition to borrowing large sums of money from Japan, Duan Xun also borrowed a lot of money from British banks and domestic banks in Shanghai.

However, the money Duan Xun can afford at present.

"Mr. Wang, this way you won't have a headache."

Wang Yongjiang had been very worried before.

Worried about Duan Xun's financial collapse.

After all, Duan Xun has borrowed too much money these years. In those years, Duan Xun borrowed more money than the Beijing government, even more than the Beijing government.In order to borrow money, Duan Xun mortgaged a lot of high-quality assets in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and even basically mortgaged all the high-quality assets that are currently considered good.

Including the railway currently under construction, the mines under construction have also been mortgaged a lot.

If you don't pay attention, if anything happens in the middle, resulting in Duan Xun not paying the money, then these things will become someone else's.If it is taken away by domestic banks, it can still be justified, and no one will say anything.But if foreigners, especially the Japanese, take away the management rights of railways and minerals, then Duan Xun will not be able to take off the hat of traitor on his head.Even Duan Xun will become the number one traitor in the history of the Republic of China.

Duan Xunhui lost his reputation in China in an instant, and there was no place to stand up.

Therefore, Wang Yongjiang has been trembling these days.Worrying that if you don't pay attention, Duan Xun and the group of Duan Xun will completely dissipate.Hearing the good news now, Wang Yongjiang nodded immediately and said: "It's good news, very good news, it's really great. General, with Guan Yu's income, our finances will become very healthy. Although It’s a lot of money to pay back every year, but we can definitely afford it.”

"That's good."

Duan Xun nodded.

In fact, it is not only Wang Yongjiang who is worried, but also Duan Xun.

Very adventurous.

In the whole of China, there is no one who borrows more money than Duan Xun.Of course, borrowing so much money has indeed played a big role in Duan Xun's development.Especially Sichuan, if Duan Xun hadn't borrowed so much money for construction, how could Sichuan's economy have developed so much in a short period of time.But borrowing so much money also put a huge burden on Duan Xun's finances.

Therefore, taking back Guan Yu was completely ruined for Duan Xun.Once it is not smooth to take back Guan Yu, then Duan Xun really dares to let the army attack.Because he couldn't get Guan Yu, Duan Xun died without a place to bury him.

Fortunately, Guan Yu can be taken back at present, without resorting to violence.

"Mr. Wang, your main work next will be to sort out the finances of several provinces. Unify tax rates, unify finances, and divide land tax and national tax."

"Yes."

At present, every province in China actually has a national tax and a local tax.

The original national tax was established by the Beijing government to collect taxes from the provinces.But after the founding of the Republic of China, the localities were ruled by these warlords.Where you can collect taxes if you want, even if you are the Beijing government, many local warlords resist national taxes.

After the founding of the Republic of China, it was not uncommon for the head of the National Taxation Bureau sent by the Beijing government to be blasted away by warlords in the local area.Not even one or two were assassinated by local warlords.

Therefore, the so-called national tax in many provinces is actually just a decoration and is of no use.

But Duan Xun wants to standardize the national tax.

Because Duan Xun's border guards have to collect taxes.Duan Xun currently controls almost nine provinces, including Tibet.The border supervision agency can never ask for money from the finances of various provinces. What if the following provinces have money and start to be disobedient?

Therefore, Duan Xun has made strict regulations since he started in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou.

What taxes are collected by the national tax agency and what taxes are local taxes.At present, most of the provinces have been taken away by the national tax, leaving only some small tax to the local government.In this way, Duan Xun's border supervision agency has sufficient financial resources.

Only when Duan Xun has enough money in his hands can he better control the provinces below.

The same must be true for newly controlled provinces.

National tax and local tax should be strictly distinguished.

"Also, send a telegram to Kang Xinru. We will issue additional public bonds in Shanghai."

"General, how much money do you want to raise?"

Issue public bonds.

This is the fastest way to borrow money from the private sector.

Jin Yunpeng currently wants to issue public bonds, but no one buys them at all.Because the Beijing government owes too much debt, and people don't trust Jin Yunpeng, and they don't trust Jin Yunpeng's cabinet.Therefore, no one is interested in the public bonds issued by Jin Yunpeng's cabinet.

Everyone is worried that Jin Yunpeng will fall, and the public debt will be waste paper.

But Duan Xun is different.
