Beiyang reactionaries

"General, Liang Shiyi's voice is very high at present. Many people think that Liang Shiyi is the most suitable for the current Beijing government. Jin Yunpeng said that the biggest problem is that he can't get money. He is a soldier. He has no contacts in this area and doesn't know at all. How to get money. The most urgent thing for the Beijing government now is to raise money. In terms of the ability to raise money, general, think about it? Who can compare with Liang Shiyi and Zhou Ziqi? Think about how much money these people raised for Yuan Xiangcheng when they were here .”

"Hmph, it's just an outdated faction."

Duan Xun sneered.

The old Department of Communications was really prosperous back then, and it was a powerful force in China's economic circle.But after so many years, the vicissitudes of life have changed, and their strength is far from what it was back then.Or the era of the old traffic department is over.

raise money?

Where is that easy.

At that time, they controlled China's railways, banks, postal services, and shipping, so they had a way to run amok in China's financial circle.Those bigwigs in China's financial circle want to give them face.But a few years have passed, times have changed, the new transportation system controls railways and banks, and China's shipping is monopolized by many foreign and domestic shipping companies. Even if the old transportation system reappears, so what.

"Yes, General. Liang Shiyi and the others are very famous, but the current situation of the Beijing government is very serious. The major warlords in the country have withheld funds, and they don't even bother to do anything for appearances, so that the Beijing government has no income at all. It is far inferior to Yuan Xiangcheng back then. (Yuan Shikai) time."

Yang Yongtai also shook his head.

When Yuan Shikai was there, although the strength of the local warlords had begun to expand and they had begun to occupy the localities as warlords, they still had to do some superficial work.Although those national taxes were rejected in the localities, the local warlords did not dare to completely withhold the national taxes.After all, the head of the Beijing government at that time was Yuan Shikai, so he still wanted to save face.

But not now.

Especially after the dispute between the government and the court, the power of the local warlords has risen sharply.In the Zhiwan War, Duan Qirui, the last leader of the Beiyang Army, had already resigned, and the local warlords became even more unscrupulous, and they even ignored the Beijing government.

National tax?

What a joke.

Today's local warlords don't even bother to show off, and simply don't pay national taxes to the Beijing government.Like Duan Xun, who directly regards the national tax as a department of his border supervision agency, how dare the Beijing government take care of it?

The same is true of other Anhui warlords, who do not hand over any money to Beijing.The same is true for those Zhili warlords, who ignore the Beijing government.

In other words, the Beijing government is currently able to collect taxes, that is, it collects Beijing's taxes.In other places, it is simply impossible to intervene.Originally, we could still wait for tens of millions from Guan Yu, but now even Guan Yu has been divided by the local warlords.

Therefore, the current Beijing government has nothing but name.

"Liang Shiyi is now back in Beijing, and it will be very difficult to borrow money from the domestic financial circle. Because the Beijing government has no income, who will lend money to the Beijing government at ease. Even if Liang Shiyi has a big face, he will not be able to borrow much. This is not a few years ago. At that time, as long as Liang Shiyi invested tens of millions, it would be no problem. But now..."

Yang Yongtai sneered.

The strength of the current domestic financial circle has also changed greatly.A few years ago, people like Liang Shiyi came out to raise tens of millions in the domestic financial circle. Although it was not easy, it was not impossible.

Because Liang Shiyi and the others were indeed very powerful at the time.

But now?

"Over there..."

"It's probably difficult, unless you agree to some conditions that shouldn't be agreed. But after Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui) and Japan's wanton borrowing, who dares to borrow money from foreign countries at will. And even if you borrow money, you don't dare to be too It’s too blatant. So I guess even if Liang Shiyi forms a cabinet, their main object is to borrow money from China. They will issue public bonds in Shanghai and ask the banks and big businessmen in Shanghai to buy them.”

Duan Xun nodded.

Yes.

Borrowing money from foreigners now is indeed easy to be targeted.

Duan Xun has done so many things to get rid of being targeted by public opinion.Such as taking back the control of Han Yeping Company, taking back Guan Yu, and this time entering Kulun, all in order to get rid of public opinion's attention to Duan Xun's wanton borrowing.

But even so, some newspapers still criticized Duan Xun for borrowing too much money from Japan.

Now the Beijing government is at the center of public opinion, and their every move is even more concerned by public opinion.How dare you borrow money casually.

"It seems to put some pressure on Shanghai."

Liang Shiyi?Zhou Ziqi?

These people from the old transportation department are still very capable and well-connected.Duan Xun didn't like or dislike them.These people are the most typical bureaucrats of this era, just like Cao Rulin and his new transportation department.

For their evaluation, it should not be too high, but it should not be too derogatory.

They are neither great heroes who save the world and the people, nor are they so-called traitors and traitors who betray the country.

However, Duan Xun couldn't stop the old transportation department from wanting to take over this time.But Duan Xun will never allow them to smoothly solve the current financial difficulties of the Beijing government.Because the current president of the Beijing government is Xu Shichang, and the prime minister of the cabinet may be Liang Shiyi, but in the eyes of Duan Xun, they are all just puppets.It is Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin who really control the Beijing government, especially Cao Kun who is currently heavily stationed in Beijing.

Since it is Cao Kun, Liang Shiyi and the others want to raise funds to help Cao Kun solve the problem.

Cao Kun was relaxed, but Duan Xun couldn't.

So Duan Xun can't let Cao Kun relax.

"General, don't Ningbo businessmen want to get close to the general? It doesn't matter if it's Zhu Baosan or Yu Qiaqing, they have a high status in Shanghai's financial circle. In addition, our Southwest Commercial Bank and Chongqing merchant's bank in Shanghai, as long as they make a little noise, It will be much more difficult for Liang Shiyi to raise funds in Shanghai."

"kindness."

Duan Xun also nodded.

Yes.

In the current Shanghai financial circle, Duan Xun's influence is much stronger than that of Liang Shiyi and the others.As long as the Chongqing banking circle and Ningbo businessmen are used to resist Liang Shiyi, it will be very difficult for the Beijing government to raise funds in the Shanghai financial circle.

"General, you can still contact Cao Rulin and the others. Keep Bank of China and Bank of Communications safe, and never raise funds for the Beijing government."

Although the New Communications Department has stepped down, their influence in the Bank of China and China Bank of Communications is still there.Moreover, although China Bank of Communications is government-run, private shares have far exceeded official shares, and those private shareholders are not easy to mess with.It is so easy to raise funds from them.

"Okay. Brother Changqing, I will leave this matter to you. Regardless of who is in power in the Beijing government, they must not be allowed to raise funds in the country. And as long as the Beijing government is reorganized, our troops will be asked for military salaries every day. The Beijing government finances When it goes bankrupt, I want to see how Cao Kun responds."

Cao Kun took control of Beijing with great difficulty, and what he wanted was the orthodox status of the Beijing government.

But the same.

The current Beijing government is a huge burden, and it depends on how Cao Kun resolves the disadvantage.

"Tap-tap-"

"General, Tatsuya Tsuruta is here."

"Tatsuya Tsuruta? Hehe, this is to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. Brother Changqing, I will leave the matter to you. I am going to meet Tatsuya Tsuruta."

"Tsuruta-kun, please stay safe."

"General Duan."

The two are very familiar.

So it was just a simple handshake and the two sat down.Soon someone made a cup of tea for two and walked off.Duan Xun made a gesture of invitation to Tsuruta Tatsuya.

Tsuruta Tatsuya blew slightly, but instead of drinking, he said, "General Duan, we are old friends for many years, aren't we?"
