Beiyang reactionaries

Originally, Duan Xun's reputation was very good.Duan Xun's reputation is not only due to the good military discipline of the army, the Duan Xun government's good governance, but also Duan Xun's very good reputation.Duan Xun has borrowed so much money over the years, but he has never breached the contract.

How much should be repaid and how much interest should be paid, Duan Xun never delayed.

Moreover, Duan Xun has too many high-quality assets in his hands, so Duan Xun's reputation in the loan market is very good.Now Duan Xun is about to take back Guan Yu, which means that Duan Xun's ability to repay the money has been further improved.

Therefore, if Duan Xun wants to issue public bonds, there will be absolutely no problems.

"Mr. Wang, do your own calculations. And don't always calculate based on the current financial situation. You are boldly issuing public bonds and boldly borrowing money for construction. Now I just want to close the surplus. In two years, I will definitely be with these Negotiations with the diplomatic missions of the great powers, higher tariff rates. Our revenues will be much higher by then, so don’t worry about that.”

Wang Yongjiang nodded.

Up to now, Wang Yongjiang really believes in Duan Xun.

Before Duan Xun said that he would take back Guan Yu, Wang Yongjiang was terrified and worried.But what Duan Xun said to do, he can definitely do it, which makes Wang Yongjiang's trust in Duan Xun higher and higher.

When Duan Xun said that he wanted to talk about the tax rate, Wang Yongjiang believed it.

If China's tariff rate can be increased to 20.00%, then the tariff revenue will be doubled.If it can be raised to [-]%, the tariff revenue will be four times what it is now.

That's a lot of income.

In fact, the tax rate in many countries is above 30.00%5.00, and even some important goods have a tax rate of 20.00%[-].Even if China's tariff rate cannot reach that level, as long as it can be raised to [-]%, then Duan Xun's income will increase greatly.

Paying back the borrowed money is not a problem at all.

"General, I understand what you mean."

"Come out with a public bond plan as soon as possible, and I will sign it after reading it."

"Yes."

…………

"After negotiations, on September 8, 1919, the newly-appointed chief negotiator, Duan Xun, the new frontier supervisor, Chen Jintao, formally signed the 'Tariff Use Clause' with the British, French, American and Japanese diplomatic missions. The regiment agreed to transfer all the customs clearances of the nine provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Hunan, Guangxi, Hubei, Shaanxi and Henan to the Border Supervision Office, transfer the customs clearances of Zhejiang to Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, and transfer the customs clearance of Fujian to Li Houji, the governor of Fujian. Shanghai Customs will transfer the remaining customs duties to He Fenglin, the envoy of Songhu Guards. And the customs duties in these places will be transferred from Shanghai HSBC Bank to Southwest Commercial Bank. The General Department of Customs has the power to supervise the customs duties and will send representatives to Southwest Commercial Bank The bank oversees the money."

"This is a victory for Duan Xun, the new border defense supervisor, and it is also a victory for the Chinese people. After the Revolution of [-], the big powers deposited all the tariffs that should have been stored in the Bank of China into Shanghai HSBC Bank for security reasons. The new border defense supervisor Duan Xun Xun transferred the tariffs from HSBC to Southwest Commercial Bank, which is a great victory for the Chinese people and a victory worthy of applause from the people of the whole country."

"The newly-appointed border inspector Duan Xun's struggle for customs rights is not because he has increased a sum of financial revenue for his border inspectorate, but more because he is fighting for the rights of the country and the nation. Fighting for customs rights is not just general Duan Xun's border inspector. The affairs of one department of the Department are the affairs of the whole country. Fighting for the rights and interests of the customs is to fight for the sovereignty of China. Fighting for the rights and interests of the customs is related to the personality of the people of the whole country, and it is related to the dignity of the people of the whole country. Fighting for rights, fighting for sovereignty over China, heightened his stature as a national hero."

"Humph."

Lu Rongting looked at the disgusting praise of "Declaration" to Duan Xun, and couldn't help throwing the newspaper on the table.

Shi Liangcai, the "dog slave".

I don't know how much Duan Xun was charged.The previous "Declaration" was completely known for its sharp comments, but recently, for some reason, it just praised Duan Xun like that.Look at this sycophant.

Shit.

Duan Xun took Guan Yu back just to fight for financial revenue for himself.It has nothing to do with fighting for sovereignty and power for the Chinese people in eight lifetimes.And what is all this talking about, national hero?

grandma's.

Too flattering.

"Marshal, this Duan Xun is really evil. Why did the diplomatic missions of these great powers agree to Duan Xun to hand over Guan Yu to him?"

Chen Bingkun had a look of disbelief.

After Sun Yat-sen came to Guangdong, he also worked very hard for Guan Yu.They even said that they would mobilize troops to rob the customs, which made the relationship with the big powers very stiff.In the end, it was Sun Yat-sen who saw that the great powers really wanted to mobilize troops, so he softened.

However, the great powers did not want to make too much trouble with Sun Yat-sen.

So I took a step back.

But the concessions are very limited.The diplomatic missions of the great powers gave Sun Yat-sen's Guangdong law-enforcement military government a share of 137% of the Guanyu from Guangdong Customs.Don't underestimate such a small share, there were nearly 200 million in that year.For Sun Yat-sen at that time, it was still a large number.If Sun Yat-sen was able to take down all the customs in Guangdong Customs at that time, there would be tens of millions a year.

Later, Sun Yat-sen was kicked out by Lu Rongting, and the great powers even stopped paying the money.The money has been accumulated so far, and it is almost 300 million.

At that time, Sun Yat-sen used all his strength to get 137 shares.

But what about Duan Xun?

Take all the customs surplus in the area under your control.

so good.

"Who knows?"

Lu Rongting also shook his head.Quite quickly said: "I heard that Japan strongly supports Duan Xun, and those diplomatic missions will agree."

"Marshal, this is a good thing. Why can Duan Xun get Guan Yu, but we can't? Our customs revenue in Guangdong is the highest in the country, and only Shanghai can compare with us. If we can get To Guan Yu, then..."

Lu Rongting nodded.

Yes.

Guangdong's customs revenue is very large.Lu Rongting currently controls the Guangzhou area, and almost all of the important customs in Guangdong are in places ruled by Lu Rongting.Moreover, Lu Rongting is currently the president of the Guangdong law-protecting military government, and if he can take back Guan Yu, his strength will increase exponentially.

With money, everything is easy to do.

"Send a telegram to Li Chun, Governor of Jiangsu, and Chen Guangyuan, Governor of Jiangxi, and the three of us will join forces to negotiate with the diplomatic mission. Since Duan Xun can take Guan Yu away, of course we can take it too."

"Yes."

"Yin Qing (Lin Hu)."

"Master."

"You are familiar with Yang Yongtai, Gu Zhongxiu, Zhang Yaozeng, and Xiong Kewu, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Hu nodded.

Although Lin Hu currently works for the Guangxi Clan, he was born in the Revolutionary Party, and he has a lot of connections within the Revolutionary Party.When Sun Yat-sen founded the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Japan, a large number of former members of the Tongmenghui did not join the Chinese Revolutionary Party, thinking that Sun Yat-sen was engaging in "dictatorship."

These people set up an organization like the "European Affairs Research Association".

Some people from this organization defected to Sun Yat-sen again, and some people went north to defect to the Beiyang government.Yang Yongtai's "Department of Political Science", in fact, from the source, most of the people are from the "European Affairs Research Association".

Lin Hu is one of them.

So I am familiar with many people.

"Go and contact Duan Xun to see if they can sell us a batch of weapons. Tell them, I will spend as much as the market price. If they are willing to sell weapons, then I will ask for [-] Thousands of rifles, if possible, buy some infantry guns and machine guns. Of course, grenades are also needed, and the ammunition must be sufficient.”

"Yes."
