Fengtian was in a state of upheaval during this period, and the whole of China was also in turmoil. Lao Yuan's imperial career had reached a critical moment. By relying on the preparatory committee and the petition group to jump up and down, he successfully created the so-called public opinion, and Lao Yuan also "reluctantly" convened
Representatives from various provinces gathered in Beijing to prepare for a vote on the national system issue.
It happened that a carjacking case occurred at this time, and the Japanese pressed forward aggressively. Lao Yuan suddenly felt that it was dangerous and had no intention of voting. He contacted ministers from various countries every day to seek support, and finally things calmed down.
Although a final settlement agreement was not reached with the Japanese, at least there would be no war. These Conglong heroes under Lao Yuan encouraged Lao Yuan to vote as soon as possible. Soon, representatives from all provinces unanimously agreed to the constitutional monarchy, and local officials also signed
With his support, Lao Yuan’s dream of becoming an emperor finally began.
Yuan Shikai's mind was not completely confused yet. He understood very well the principle of falling short for Shan Jiu Ren. The closer he was to success, the less he could relax, especially to stabilize the powerful factions in various places.
Zhang Zuolin, who was instrumental in suppressing the Russian bandits, must be commended. A few days ago, Zhang Zuolin and Fengtian Consul General Shi Tian reached a cooperation agreement. Fengtian will export grain to Japan at a 10% discount to help Japan stabilize grain prices. Regardless of how many discords there were in the past,
After all, there is no quarrel. Lao Zhang exported grain to Japan at this time, which can be regarded as releasing enough goodwill to the Japanese.
Japan's domestic view of this little warlord has also improved a lot, and they think he can still be won over, so there are no obstacles set up, and it is a matter of course that Lao Zhang becomes the new capital of Fengtian.
However, Lao Yuan was unwilling to withdraw his hand from outside the customs. After some consideration, he decided to appoint Duan Zhigui as the patrol envoy to the three eastern provinces to manage the military affairs of the three provinces. In this way, His Highness Duan was still Lao Zhang's immediate boss. After Zhang Zuolin was appointed,
Suddenly he was furious. Isn’t Yuan Datou playing tricks on people!
"Han Qing, I have a different view. Everything must be done in a legitimate manner. The seventh uncle used to be a division commander, and intervening in matters other than the army is an act of overstepping his authority. Now he is the governor, and he can legitimately manage the military and political affairs of Fengtian. Although Duan Zhigui is on patrol
However, you can completely pretend that he does not exist. Anyway, everyone in Fengtian has long since returned to Marshal Zhang, and His Highness Duan has long been forced to stand aside!"
"That makes sense. Brother Tinglan, now my father is truly Marshal Zhang, then I will be the Young Marshal!"
"That's right, Marshal Zhang is the real deal. Who dares to say otherwise? I'll whip him!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Han Qing, I suggest you quickly order a set of military uniforms like a general's. When you wear it, you will definitely look impressive.
Young General."
"Brother Tinglan, don't be ridiculous. In fact, I always feel that there is no difference between Shaoshuai Zhang and Gao Yanei in Pingshu. They both rely on my prestige. A manly man wants to conquer the world by himself!"
It seems that this Marshal Zhang is quite ambitious! It is best to continue to be so enthusiastic, so as not to ruin the foundation of the three eastern provinces.
No matter what you say. From this moment on, Lao Zhang has become the master of Fengtian, a real prince, which is definitely something worth celebrating. Zhang Tinglan simply packed up and went to the Marshal's Mansion with Zhang Xueliang.
At this time, the handsome manor was decorated with lights and decorations, and it was very lively. A group of old brothers under Lao Zhang gathered over to congratulate Zhang Zuolin on his promotion. Everyone's face was filled with smiles. As the saying goes, birds follow the Luan and the phoenix soar far away, and now Zhang Zuolin
Being developed proves that everyone's original vision was correct.
Following Lao Zhang, there was a promising future, Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Yuan Jinkai and others were sitting on both sides of the Tiger Hall. Compared with the past, the biggest difference was that sitting next to Zhang Zuolin was a short and fat middle-aged man.
It is Wang Yongjiang.
As soon as Zhang Tinglan entered the Tiger Hall gate, he noticed Wang Yongjiang. Judging from his seat, Wang Yongjiang was definitely the protagonist today. It seemed that the chief executive of Fengjun was about to make his official debut. At this moment, Zhang Zuoxiang and Yang Yuting
They all rushed over. Yang Yuting was in charge of training the heavy artillery battalion, while Zhang Zuoxiang was recruiting sharpshooters.
It was Zhang Tinglan's idea to form a sniper unit. Zhang Zuoxiang also knew that his son valued this matter. He was also familiar with the sharpshooters in the Feng Army, so he took the initiative to recruit people. The heavy artillery unit and snipers were both secret weapons of the Feng Army, so
The training locations were all arranged outside the city, and they came last.
"Everyone is here. Lao Yuan appointed me as General Shengwu to supervise the military affairs of Fengtian. From today on, Fengtian will be our buddy's territory. Just like this, we should also think about it and manage Fengtian well so that we can
My fellow villagers can live a good life. Serving as an official will benefit the whole country. Let us all share our opinions and tell you what you are going to do!"
After Lao Zhang asked this question, everyone present was a little dumbfounded. If it comes to leading troops to fight, they are experts, but if it comes to governing a place, they are absolutely clueless. Of course, Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting have ideas in their minds, but they are both ghosts.
Smart, it is obvious that Lao Zhang wants to give Wang Yongjiang a chance to show off today, so he should stop talking.
Lao Zhang looked around and saw that no one was speaking. Then he turned to Wang Yongjiang and said with a smile: "Minyuan, give us a lesson and tell us your ideas!"
Wang Yongjiang nodded slightly. Due to Zhang Tinglan's matchmaking, Wang Yongjiang and Zhang Zuolin had several contacts. Now Wang Yongjiang is basically taking care of the official bank affairs. Everything is in order, showing strong management ability.
Lao Zhang also asked Wang Yongjiang several times for advice on how to govern Fengtian. Wang Yongjiang talked eloquently and without reservation. Zhang Zuolin was also deeply inspired and had the idea of appointing Wang Yongjiang. Not only did he just take office, he also mentioned it in the first meeting.
The performance opportunity was given to Wang Yongjiang.
"Everyone, Wang will first talk about the overall situation of Fengtian. Currently, Fengtian has a total population of 8 million and is located on both sides of the Liao River. It has fertile soil and rich products. However, there is a huge financial deficit every year, unable to make ends meet, public security is chaotic, and financial instability
, the people are hungry, thieves are rampant everywhere, and people's livelihood is in ruins. I think these things can be summed up in one word, that is poverty. If we want to cure the disease of poverty in Fengtian, we must make drastic financial management!"
Wang Yongjiang's views coincided with Zhang Tinglan's. Even though Zhang Tinglan worked so hard during this period, the effect was limited. He only made Lao Zhang a little more wealthy. The business in Fengjun Provincial City has achieved great development, and the public security has also been improved.
However, other areas have not yet been affected, and Fengtian still wears the label of poverty and backwardness.
"Since ancient times, there are only two methods of financial management, one is to increase revenue and the other is to reduce expenditure. I think that at present, we should focus on increasing revenue and reduce expenditure as a supplement. The so-called increase in revenue is to expand new financial sources. This new financial source is divided into two
The first is the rent and tax for farmers. I suggest that the land should be cleared immediately and all the land hidden by the landlords should be investigated. Let them all pay taxes. The second is the industrial and commercial tax, which is also the area with the greatest growth potential for Fengtian in the future."
Speaking of this, Wang Yongjiang glanced at Zhang Tinglan inadvertently. After being in contact with Zhang Tinglan for such a long time, Wang Yongjiang was also very clear about some of Zhang Tinglan's secrets. Taking the North Market as an example, how much tax money flowed into Zhang Tinglan's pockets. Wang Yongjiang's heart
They all have an account. It turned out to be to isolate Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui. Now it is Zhang Zuolin's turn to take charge of Fengtian. These rules must be changed and the taxation power of the North Market will be handed over to the Fengtian government.
This was undoubtedly a rip-off, but Zhang Tinglan was well prepared. He planned the North Market and already had the most profitable land in his hands. Then he controlled finance. Both of these were inconspicuous and yielded staggering profits. Zhang Tinglan was
I no longer care about taxes. Now is a good opportunity to pay them.
Seeing Zhang Tinglan's calm demeanor, Wang Yongjiang also secretly admired him. This young man was really extraordinary. He was able to tolerate humiliation and humiliation without being frightened. He was really formidable. Wang Yongjiang continued: "The land is dead, and what can be harvested is limited after all.
The development of industry and commerce will be huge and will be the main source of wealth in the future, so we must take good care of it. First of all, we must rectify the administration and prevent officials from extorting money at will. In addition, rogues, scoundrels, and soldiers must also be dealt with!"
When he mentioned the word soldier, Wang Yongjiang paused deliberately, and the hearts of everyone present were moved. Zhang Tinglan had already rectified the public security, but Zhang Tinglan did not have the ability to deal with the cancer of soldier, so he only restrained it to the maximum extent.
.
When Wang Yongjiang spoke in front of everyone for the first time, he raised the issue of the soldiers. This was tantamount to a slap in the face of everyone present. They were the leaders of the soldiers, especially Tang Yulin and Zhang Jinghui. The problem of the soldiers under them was
most.
To rectify the gangsters, they undoubtedly took action there. Even Sun Liechen's face was not very good. Fengjun was originally a bandit, and military discipline was lax. Many soldiers acted as gang bosses and went around extorting money. This was also the case for Fengjun.
Although this important income is unreasonable, it has existed for many years. If it were to be cut off, everyone would feel uncomfortable.
"Let me say a few words about the issue of soldiers and gangsters." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to take over the conversation: "In the past, we had no money, and we couldn't let our brothers starve to death. We just wanted to make some extra money, so I just turned a blind eye.
I just closed my eyes. Now I have enough money on hand, everyone is not short of food and drink, and the military pay is no longer in arrears. It would be inappropriate if we cause trouble again!"
Ever since Wang Yongjiang raised the issue of ruffians, Zhang Tinglan has been secretly watching Zhang Zuolin's expression. Logically speaking, Zhang Zuolin had just taken power and should not have brought up such a sensitive topic, but Lao Zhang did the opposite. There must be something in this
.
"Yuting, it's not easy for brothers to fight tooth and nail. I don't think there should be so many restrictions and let everyone have some freedom!" Zhang Jinghui spoke first.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin shook his head: "There can be no rule without rules. During this period, I am formulating a pension standard. In the future, if the brothers are injured or even die in battle, they must give their families enough pensions so that the brothers have no worries."
.I, Lao Zhang, have made it this far, and they must be worthy of the money. If anyone dares to ignore military discipline and disrupt the place wantonly, I will not be polite!"
Zhang Zuolin sided with Wang Yongjiang without hesitation, which made the atmosphere in the Tiger Hall a bit depressing. Wang Yongjiang then talked about a lot of development opinions, but no one was interested in listening.
The meeting finally ended and everyone walked out dejectedly. However, Zhang Tinglan walked a few steps closer and called out to Sun Liechen.
"Uncle Six, I asked a friend in Beijing to help me make some contacts in the first few days. He helped me buy a batch of Jiutian Gongjiao, which is specially used to treat insufficient Qi and blood. I heard that Sister Xianrui is weak, so I just need to give her a supplement. , In addition, I asked for a few dietary prescriptions, but I don’t know if they will work?” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
