The things that put Jiang Shuren in trouble must be related to finances. After dealing with him for so long, Ouyang Yun has become accustomed to his way of doing things. Once there is financial difficulty, he will be the first to push the hot potato to himself. Of course, with the tacit understanding between the two of them on some things, this is something Jiang Shuren really can't solve.
"What you fight in a war is actually money." This sentence has now become the consensus of senior officials in the Xuebing Army. Unlike the middle and lower-level officers who only need to fight on the front line, these big guys in the rear must not only consider the battlefield, but also the battlefield. On top of that, you have to consider whether you will make a profit or a loss in this battle, and how long your own savings can last.
Speaking of which, the Xuebing Army's policy of raising soldiers with high salaries has certainly made the morale of the troops extremely high, making the profession of soldiers one of the most popular professions under the Xuebing Military Government to a certain extent. However, at the same time, it has also given Ouyang Yunhe The trouble caused by Jiang Shuren and the others was also huge, and if it weren't for their status as time travellers, who could make money like magic, Xue Bingjun would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Jiang Shuren is a somewhat special being in the Xuebingjun system. The reason why I say this is because he is a veteran member of the Yun Party and has also developed his own power. As we all know, among the veterans of the Xuebingjun, Ouyang Yun was the most tolerant of Jiang Shuren. On the one hand, he gave him as much power as himself. On the other hand, he actually let a layman participate in military affairs. This was simply unbelievable in the eyes of some middle and low-level officers, because this Mr. Jiang was If you don't speak up in a large meeting, you will definitely go against the theme of the meeting. For this reason, many people feel that Jiang Shuren should be replaced as soon as possible for the sake of the long-term stability of the military commander.
The people who were talking about Jiang Shuren at this time were all cadres such as finance ministers or deputy county magistrates from the warring areas in southern Fujian or surrounding areas. They came to Jiang Shuren in the hope of obtaining government subsidies to compensate for the military failure. The property losses suffered during the operation are simply unimaginable in other places. However, in the student military government system, from the initial uneasiness to the present, this system has matured and matured, and even some of the more avant-garde People and taxpayers have their perspectives.
"We are taxpayers. The money that your Xuebing Army pays for is not all ours. Why do we support your Xuebing Army? Isn't it just to protect our safety? If your Xuebing Army can't fight the Japanese, give it to us." If we have caused losses, we should naturally compensate for them." This was said by a returned overseas Chinese named Peregrine Falcon. Perhaps because he grew up in the United States, he was ahead of his time. The electronics factory he ran was bombed by the Japanese and suffered heavy damage. After the loss, I found Jiang Shuren, and after throwing out these words, I was shocked.
"You unruly people, you unruly people, they don't even think about what they can do with the more than two hundred yuan they pay every month. Ouyang, I told you a long time ago. Given our current national conditions, we should not be too democratic. You If you don't listen, it's okay now, the unruly people have appeared." This was said by Jiang Shuren. He was very worried at the time, because this Peregrine Falcon had made a "good start", and this kind of thing would happen in endlessly, and there must be some among them. Fake, then just the personnel expenses for arranging the verification will be a big expense.
Ouyang Yun thought it was a good thing. He responded to Jiang Shuren at the time: "It's a huge progress for the people to have this kind of thinking. I'm worried that they don't have this awareness. Haha, Mr. Jiang, the advantages of this kind of thing are still there." It can’t be reflected, but as long as we persevere and look back on this matter ten or twenty years from now, you will find something extraordinary about it.”
Ouyang Yun is not very good at the political system. Fortunately, he has the experience of that time and space and knows what direction is the general trend. Therefore, although he knows that this will definitely lead to a painful process and even affect the governance of Xuebingjun, but In the long run, the temporary sacrifice and effort are worth it.
Jiang Shuren's assertion at that time came true. Now, this kind of forward-thinking consciousness is not only in the hearts of unscrupulous people, but even some government officials have been "tainted".
In fact, people at this time were still very naive, and impersonation was impossible to happen. After all, the guns of the Xuebing Army were not for free, and Ouyang Yun, the young leader, was not as incompetent as he seemed on the surface. City government, therefore, compensation claims that appear within a limited time period are basically necessary.
For example, in this battle between the Xuebing Army and the South China Front Army, Pucheng suffered very serious losses. Among them, more than 200 private houses were destroyed, leaving more than a thousand people homeless. More than a hundred casualties and casualties must be resolved by the military government. Jiang Shuren has no intention of passing the buck. It's just that the finances are a little tight now. In order to ensure the needs of the front line, the government has reduced some daily projects. In this case, the issue of private compensation must be put aside later. The reason why these local government officials are so keen to help people run errands is related to their own positions. The appointment of these local government officials, There are two types, one is direct appointment under the wartime system, these are limited to main officials, while other officials have two sources, one is those who passed the civil service examination, and the other is recommended by the local government, the so-called local recommendation It is similar to the electoral system in the West, so these officials will work so hard for the people, even if they offend their superiors, they will not hesitate.
After listening to Jiang Shuren's narration of the situation, Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly again. He took a look at everyone and said: "According to regulations, the government will definitely make corresponding compensation, but you have also seen that the war is raging ahead, which has brought unprecedented consequences to the government. economic pressure, so the compensation thing must be slowed down, um, the housing problem must be solved, let's see if we can rent some housing, and first arrange for the families whose houses were bombed, and as for livelihood , I will say hello to those big companies and ask them to give priority to recruiting these people when they recruit workers. What do you think? Yes, the government has admitted that all losses caused by the war under its own rule will be paid for by the government, but under special circumstances , it is necessary to be accommodating. Haha, if the war fails because of this, it will not only bring property losses, but we may even be driven out of Fujian and even Guangdong."
What Ouyang Yun said was actually a bit shameful. Of course, people with a little more sense would accept his irresponsible words. Those officials looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent for a moment. ,
Although government compensation has happened many times, this was their first experience. In fact, the reason why they came together was because they were not sure about this matter, so they wanted to find more people to share the burden so that they could have psychological comfort. My little calculation is that even if this matter is unreasonable and will cause trouble, then for the sake of so many people, the handling will probably be lighter. They are not willing to lose this position for the sake of future terms. Then But the gain outweighs the loss,
Ouyang Yun could roughly guess what they were thinking. As the supreme leader of the student army, he could still maintain a certain amount of pressure in front of these officials. Seeing their silence, he continued: "Don't worry, the government is only experiencing temporary difficulties. You won’t default on your debt, Mr. Jiang, please issue a certificate to each of them. In the future, you can ask for compensation based on this certificate."
Jiang Shuren smiled and nodded, then ordered his secretary to take everyone to do it, and sent them away. He closed the door, personally made a cup of tea for Ouyang Yun, and said: "Ouyang, if you have any idea, just say it in a few words. You don’t know, when they pestered me just now, they all acted very tenaciously.”
Ouyang Yun smiled and did not try to expose his false and true tricks. As a result, Teacup said straight to the point: "I came to you actually because of money. I plan to go to Changsha to resolve the misunderstanding with Xue Yue. No. It’s good to go empty-handed, so I’m here to discuss with you how much it would be appropriate if Xue Yue wants to compensate.”
Jiang Shuren picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He pondered for a while and asked, "Are Yingtan and Guangrao about to be recovered? Are you ready to take these two places into your hands?"
"yes."
"Then compensation is necessary, but with all due respect, it is not cost-effective to provide financial compensation. I think that if a batch of weapons and equipment are donated, it should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."
"Weapons and equipment are not good enough. We didn't give them to Yan Laoxi before. It was to let others help take care of the Dingzhou base. In fact, we don't have enough ourselves. Hey, if we wait another two years, we can easily come up with a batch Weapons and equipment are coming, but for now, it’s better to hold on to your own first.”
Jiang Shuren asked: "Have you decided to use the money directly?"
"Yes, it's easy to carry. I'm going to use some foreign exchange reserves."
"Dollar."
"Only dollars left."
"No, the U.S. dollar cannot be moved. Ouyang, that is a hen that lays eggs. Well, it is still an item. I will draw up the details. Don't worry, I will satisfy Xue Yue. Ouyang, I heard that Xiao Guo and Mu Jiandie Went to Chongqing."
Ouyang Yun smiled and asked, "What did you hear?"
Jiang Shuren said: "You should actually discuss this with me. Haha, you will never guess who told me."
"Um."
"It's Huang Zhenlu, do you remember this person?"
"Huang Jinro, who is that?"
"GCD is Lao Kang's online presence. Haha, you've got so many things going on that you won't be able to remember."
Ouyang Yun became confused and asked, "Have you been in contact with her often recently?"
Jiang Shuren quickly waved his hand: "No, she has been in Guangzhou, but she and I only met twice by chance. When I met her yesterday, she told me about Chongqing."
"She is helping GCD to spread the message, right?" Ouyang Yun asked calmly,
"Yes, they seem to have noticed something, and from what they say, they want us to change our approach."
