Beiyang reactionaries

These three bastards, relying on their own strength, dared to obstruct their own issuance of public bonds.Especially Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin, one of them is the governor of Zhejiang, and the most famous Yongshang (Ningbo merchants) and Hushang (Huzhou merchants, mainly Nanxun merchants) are both from Zhejiang.No matter how rich they are, who would want to directly confront a warlord like Lu Yongxiang with a gun.

After all, no matter how rich you are, you are no match for a warlord with a gun.If those warlords are really crazy, nothing can be done.Those people are just businessmen. Although they have connections in the officialdom, the so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current one.They are all in Lu Yongxiang's control area, who dares to offend Lu Yongxiang.

And He Fenglin.

Although various forces gather in Shanghai, it can be described as a mixed bag.

But He Fenglin is a well-known Songhu Army Guard, and he has been there for many years.Unless those who do business run into the concession, they only do business in the concession.Otherwise, who would offend He Fenglin casually.

These two bandits have said so, who dares to buy public bonds.

"Is there any way?"

"General, it's very difficult at the moment. I have found many people, but they all have concerns, and they dare not offend Duan Xun, Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin. After all, their homes are here."

"Does that mean that the issuance of public bonds is not going well?"

"Yes."

Zhou Ziqi nodded, and said helplessly: "Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and those people are all businessmen. This time I found a few bigwigs among the lake merchants, who are rich in Nanxun. They support us, but Lu Yongxiang directly threatened them with the army, and they dare not buy our government bonds at all. If Duan Xun, Lu Yongxiang, and He Fenglin are not dealt with, no one in Shanghai will dare to buy our government bonds.”

Hearing this, Cao Kun's face became gloomy.

His grandma's.

This is the Beijing government, the place Cao Kun dreamed of.Cao Kun's purpose is very simple, to control the Beijing government, in order to prove that he is orthodox.After mastering the Beijing government, Cao Kun can issue many legitimate orders.

However, it has been four months since the end of the Zhiwan War, but Cao Kun has not yet tasted the benefits of the Beijing government.

Instead, it has been carrying a heavy burden.

If Beijing's financial crisis is not resolved, the Beijing government will not be able to perform its normal functions.You can't let yourself contribute money to solve the problems of the Beijing government.And speaking of it, Cao Kun is also short of money, after all, he has reorganized so many troops.At present, Cao Kun's troops can only get half of the military salary, because Cao Kun is not rich.

How can I have the money to subsidize the Beijing government.

And even if he was really rich, Cao Kun would not subsidize the Beijing government.Taking Beijing by myself is hoping to get benefits from the Beijing government, not to subsidize the Beijing government.

"Mr. Zhou, what else do you think can be done?"

Cao Kun was a little angry, so his voice was stiff.

The way Cao Kun looked at Zhou Ziqi was not very good looking either.Duan Xun, Lu Yongxiang, and He Fenglin have spoken, but those people in the domestic financial circle are not easy to mess with.Don't look at Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin's bullying, saying cruel words, saying that if they are not obedient, they will make them look good.But for the real bigwigs, their banks and factories may have foreigners' shares, and Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin dare to lay hands on foreigners' industries.

Especially in Shanghai and Zhejiang, where foreign businessmen began to come and go decades ago.The many big bankers and businessmen who came out there have no background behind them.That place has the most big compradors.

Those people, with their backs against foreigners, ran rampant in Shanghai Bund.

Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin dared to deal with them but failed.If they really want to buy government bonds issued by the Beijing government, who can stop them.

Cao Kun is not a fool.

Yes.

In terms of ability, Cao Kun does have many deficiencies.As a general who leads troops to fight, Cao Kun is not as good as those famous generals of the Beiyang Army in terms of training, fighting, strategy and tactics.Including governing the local area, Cao Kun himself didn't have much idea.

The ability is indeed not as good as others.

But Cao Kun's ability in this area is not as good as others, but he is very smart.Otherwise, how could Cao Kun, a military officer whose business was not very good, become Yuan Shikai's favorite general, and how could he defeat Duan Qirui to control Beijing.You, Zhou Ziqi, wanted to change the subject, so you wanted to clear the blame. You underestimated Cao Kun too much.Cao Kun was angry at first, but he was not completely disturbed by Zhou Ziqi.

Zhou Ziqi was unable to raise money, and there must be pressure from Duan Xun, Lu Yongxiang, and He Fenglin.But it also shows that Zhou Ziqi is still not very appealing in Shanghai's financial circle.

Zhou Ziqi sighed inwardly.

It is said outside that Cao Kun is a "Cao fool", but look at Cao Kun's cleverness, how can he be a fool.

So Zhou Ziqi immediately said: "Cao inspector, in the current situation, we can only borrow money."

"With whom?"

"European and American banks."

"Can I borrow it?"

Cao Kun's face was gloomy.

loan?

It sounds nice.Now borrowing money from foreigners, you don’t mortgage something, you don’t sell something, how can you borrow money.But now public opinion is staring at this kind of thing every day, as long as it is said to borrow money from foreigners, public opinion will follow.

That's how Duan Qirui's reputation was ruined back then.

"Always try."

Zhou Ziqi had no choice.

Domestically speaking, it is really too difficult to borrow money now.There is only one way in the current situation, and that is to borrow money from foreigners.Cao Kun's face was ugly, and he sat there thinking about something.

It is not easy to borrow money from foreigners.

"Tap-tap-"

"A tour envoy."

"what happened?"

"Zhang Zuolin, the tour envoy of the three northeastern provinces, called and asked when the Ministry of the Army would be able to allocate military salaries. He also said that the Beijing government should not delay in arrears with education funds."

Cao Kun stood up slightly.

His face was cloudy and uncertain.Originally, Duan Xun and these Anhui warlords persecuted the government, which already made Cao Kun very troubled.What does Zhang Zuolin want to do?

264 Difficult 5

"Damn it, what does Zhang Zuolin mean?"

Zhang Zuolin intervened suddenly and suddenly forced the palace, which caught Cao Kun completely by surprise.

So the meeting ended hastily.

After returning to his home, Cao Kun was furious.

Originally, Duan Xun and the others were aggressive, and they had completely exposed the embarrassment of Zhou Ziqi's cabinet to the public.Even Duan Xun has used public opinion to tell everyone that Zhou Ziqi's plan to issue public bonds in Shanghai has been a complete failure.In fact, they all mean the same thing. Cao Kun forced Jin Yunpeng to tell the whole country how embarrassed Jin Yunpeng's cabinet was and how moneyless it was.

Now Duan Xun uses the same method.

Use the same method to tell everyone that Zhou Ziqi is the same at the moment, and there is no money at all.

The end of the year.
