"My worries were almost broken by the eaves!"

Yuan Shikai, who had been sitting in the study for several days, sighed again and threw the book in his hand on the table.

I ask you how much sorrow you can have, the clouds are bleak and the clouds are condensed in thousands of miles!

Perhaps it is most appropriate to use this word to describe Yuan Shikai's mood at this time. Although he felt quite uncomfortable with the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Member and Zhili Governor, he had been working with Tang for decades, and he could not break up too rashly, but this matter was just one thing.

It only means two words that really upset Yuan Shikai.

silver!

"That boy is nothing more!"

When he was thinking about the fact that when he sent someone to test Li Zicheng, the boy's left-handed gaze made Yuan Shikai even more angry. When he came, he condescended to greet him and specially held a banquet to entertain himself, but how did that boy repay him?

"President, then Li Zhiyuan is still pretty!"

Sitting respectfully in the President's study, Xiong Xiling said a fair word.

"The day before yesterday, it was worth paying again. The department was still short of 750,000 yuan. As soon as I said that, he wrote a check, otherwise..."

Shaking his head and sighed, Xiong Xiling's face became even more sad. When paying wages on the 25th of each month, facing the situation of more monks and less porridge and millions of dollars, the people in the authorities were like hot pot ants. The chief financial officer was even more helpless. He was the chief financial officer, which means that the day of the month was better. In the past, he asked his father to sue his grandmother and got some money together. But this month, he thought he had not pointed out the hundreds of thousands, but it was only a matter of one sentence.

750,000 yuan for birds!

Although mosquitoes are still fleshy no matter how small they are, Yuan Shikai still couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"President, you actually saw it too. If we say we don't take out some things, I'm afraid that it would be really not easy for Li Zicheng to take out the money in his pocket!"

Murmuring, Xiong Xiling's eyes turned and spoke again.

"They really don't do business that grow up in foreign countries, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and are at a loss!"

"Attack?"

With a cold snorting, Yuan Shikai's eyes widened.

"He was at a disadvantage!"

Xiong Xiling's eyes were cast by the president, and he quickly spoke.

"That's right, President, the interest rate issued by the Ministry of Finance is 5 cents, the issuance price is 9 deductions, and the actual charge is 82 deductions. No matter how you calculate, Li Zhiyuan takes advantage of it, but although we are taking advantage of the salt tax as a guarantee, the interception of the salt tax in each province is not a matter of one or two days, so he naturally has his concerns."

The words were a little deeper, and Xiong Xiling continued to explain.

"If the central government cannot collect the salt tax, the rest of the country will not transfer it. When repaying it on a monthly basis, we will borrow his money from the left and pay the interest with his money from the right. With Li Zhiyuan's shrewdness, how could he not see through these? Even if he can't see through them, there will definitely be someone around him who can see through them!"

Xiong Xiling's truth made Yuan Shikai snort coldly, but he didn't say anything. As the president, how could he not know the root cause of the current government's financial tension? After the Republic, in addition to Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and Shandong, all provinces intercepted the taxes they should pay. Not only did they intercept this tax, but they even intercepted the salt tax that was unshakable in the Qing Dynasty in the past. On the other hand, the countries in charge of customs were blocked and did not recognize themselves, so naturally they did not transfer the Guanyu they controlled.

When the Qing Dynasty presided over the new policy, the central government's fiscal revenue was quadrupled, but the root of the source was salt tax and tariffs, followed by the provinces' release of funds. Now there is no local release of funds, and there is no salt tax and tariffs. It is naturally inevitable that the central government's financial tension will be tense.

"That,"

After a while of a word, Yuan Shikai looked at Xiong Xiling and asked.

"In your opinion, we have to take out something to exchange for money from him, right?"

"President, this is human nature!"

Xiong Xiling just nodded.

"Bingsan, then tell me what we can do to give him Li Zicheng!"

Listening to the President's inquiry, Xiong Xiling, who was stroking his left hand, was silent. What should he get? The money he could dig now has been dug. Even if there are still some things that can be mortgaged in the government, it is not until the critical moment. He really doesn't want to mortgage all the buildings, land, water plants, power plants, etc. Now, maybe at the critical moment, these things can be supported, let alone how much money can be borrowed even if they mortgage them? But it's only a few million, such a small amount... that's not bad.

A swearing in his heart, Xiong Xiling was really useless for a moment. After thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to be mortgaged.

For a moment, both of them fell silent. The President's study was quiet, and occasionally only the sound of cups and plates colliding.

"Grand President, Mr. Guan Mianjun, a member of the Council of Constitutions, asked for a meeting!"

Suddenly, the report of the attendant made Yuan Shikai frown slightly and he lowered his head. What is the member of the Council for the Constitution? That is, he also has the position of Guan Mianjun as the General Office of Zhangsui Railway and the Director of the Jinbei Quotong Bureau.

It sounded like Guan Mianjun came to pay homage to the President. Neng Xiling, who knew why he came, stood up like a burning buttocks, bowed to the President, and then said.

"President, we are going to see you today..."

Xiong Xiling's eagerness to leave made Yuan Shikai smile bitterly in his heart, and then interrupted him casually.

"Guan Yaoqin is here because she is afraid that it is because of Zhang Sui Railway funds! Bingsan, you are the Chief Finance Minister, come and meet him with me!"

Yuan Shikai, who stood up, looked at Xiong Xiling's bitter expression and spoke again.

"Go, go to the office!"

He walked into the study seriously and was five steps away from the President's desk, Guan Mianjun immediately made a deep prayer.

"Have you seen the President!"

Except for the lack of kneeling ceremony, the rest were all about the etiquette that had been used to meet the emperor, and at the same time, they gave a light greeting to Xiong Xiling.

"General Xiong!"

Yuan Shikai, who had no expression on his face, nodded and pointed to the chair on the left side of the study.

"Sit down, Yaoqin!"

However, when Guan Mianjun sat down, Xiong Xiling took a special look at the Western-style cowhide briefcase he was holding. Maybe there was another request for Zhang Sui Railway.

"The President..."

After sitting down, Guan Mianjun was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiong Xiling.

"Yaoqin, the Ministry of Finance really doesn't have a penny to pay. At the beginning, the Ministry of Finance was first established, and the remaining amount in the warehouse was only hundreds of thousands, but you don't know the current expenses. The president took the face and finally borrowed a sum from the four-country banking group. But that money was almost done just to pay military salaries and dismiss the troops of various provinces. Now, Beijing alone only needs 3.5 million yuan per month. In recent months, the monthly arrears and foreign debts should not be repaid. Now the government has been overwhelmed by the debts and is already breathless. You say, tell me."

With a sigh, Xiong Xiling couldn't help but become jealous of the Finance Minister in the previous dynasty. It was a glory, but what was it her turn? When Chengtian saw it, he wanted money, and it was not a kind look at him.

"Now the government still has some remaining money to build a railway!"

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Xiong Xiling's screams. Guan Mianjun smiled bitterly and nodded in deep thought.

"President, President Xiong, I don't know or understand the government. But now the railway has been built to Yanggu County, half a total of the roadbed from Yanggu to Datong. If you stop rashly, you are afraid that the amount of more than one million yuan you invested before will be filled with water. And if the master on the construction site has been owed a long salary, you are afraid..."

With a wry smile, Guan Mianjun knew that if he was not prepared today, he would have to wait for at least a few more years if he wanted this model.

"It's hard!"

Yuan Shikai then sighed bitterly, then looked at Guan Mianjun and said.

"Yaoqin, you have difficulties, but the difficulties here...hey..."

After a long sigh, Yuan Shikai closed his eyes, as if he could no longer face these problems by closing his eyes.

"President, a while ago, didn't Li Zhiyuan come? It's logical..."

It was really a pot that didn't open to the pot. Guan Mianjun's words made Yuan Shikai and Xiong Xiling look ugly. Outsiders thought that Li Caishen had come, and the government would have money, but...

"Yaoqin!"

Seeing that the president closed his eyes and did not speak, the person was invited by the president, but the man still had no expression at all. He shook his head and Xiong Xiling to relieve the president's sleep.

"If it's less, this money is easy to borrow, but if it's more, this money..."

After lamenting for a moment, Xiong Xiling continued.

"Now, the army's electricity for the salary will come in a few days, and it will not be affected. When outsiders see me more anxiously, the threats will become stronger. My embarrassment is dangerous, and the embarrassment is dangerous, and the embarrassment is dangerous, and the overall situation is dangerous. That is, others have the patriotic desire to solve the problem, but if it is a material, how dare they take out a huge sum of money!"

One sentence only made the three of them sigh, and even Guan Mianjun, who was in his belly, showed a little sadness, but deep down, he was already filled with joy.

"Material?"

Guan Mianjun, who was silent on his face, asked in confusion about Xiong Xiling.

Xiong Xiling nodded.

"Borrowing must be offset by things. Syndicated loans require salt tax and customs duties as a guarantee, and supervise our country's financial power. Military power is qualifying. If you borrow from private individuals, you need to offset in kind! But what can the government pay for now?"

Listening to Xiong Xiling's explanation, Guan Mianjun, who had achieved his goal, was silent. After thinking for a long time, he went to Xiong Xilingnian first.

"General Xiong, Mian Jun has an immature view, I wonder if it is possible?"

Yuan Shikai, who had originally closed his eyes, immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this, wanting to hear what Guan Mianjun had any suggestions.

"General, what if we defeat each other by railway?"

Guan Mianjun's words only made Xiong Xiling's eyes lit up, and also made Yuan Shikai open his eyes and look at Guan Mianjun with joy.

"Yaoqin, do you mean to use the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway?"

(The fifth update, I admire myself, Wushu, I am so impressed by myself. Five updates a day, this is an unprecedented achievement! Isn’t it recommended to encourage me? Haha!)
