Just when Chen Huan was thinking about countermeasures, someone suddenly came to visit. Chen Huan saw that the name on the post was Zhang Deyang. Chen Huan did not remember who it was at first, but then his eyes lit up. This was not the famous man in Southwest China in the past.
Fushun salt merchant, but since Qiao Yu reformed the salt policy, the largest salt merchant in the southwest has become the Lu family. At this time, Zhang Deyang definitely had his intention to come to him, so he could meet him.
Zhang Deyang has become very old in less than a year, with silver hair all over his head and wrinkles on his face. After the old guy lost the management rights of Jingyan, the Zhang family declined rapidly, and they could only sit back and have nothing.
, this made Zhang Deyang anxious, but he was also tenacious and always looking for opportunities. This time Chen Huan entered Sichuan, Zhang Deyang found this good opportunity that he had been looking for.
"Sir, I would like to venture to guess that your purpose of coming here must be for Sichuan's financial problems. I know a little bit about Qiao Yu's group. I wonder if you are willing to listen?"
"Mr. Zhang, your guess is right. Sichuan is withholding taxes. Instead of paying the money to the court, these people complain about poverty to me. I am also very worried now. If the old man can point out a way for me, I will be very grateful.
All!"
"Haha, sir, you are so polite. I dare to ask again, how do you want to start?"
As soon as Chen Huan saw Zhang Deyang's confident look, he knew that this old guy seemed to have some idea. It stands to reason that the Zhang family's financial path was cut off by Qiao Yu.
Now there is a deadlock, so Chen Huan laughed and said: "The left and right just started with the accounts. Sichuan invested everywhere, which cost a lot of money. As long as we find one or two problems, everything will be easy to handle!"
Zhang Deyang understood Chen Huan's plan as soon as he heard it. He wanted to get evidence of corruption among Sichuan officials and take the opportunity to stop Sichuan's money-burning projects. Then the finances would naturally have a balance, and he could make a report to Lao Yuan.
, but Zhang Deyang sneered in his heart, this method is okay to deal with others, but it is not good enough to deal with Qiao Yu.
"Sir, I dare to say that you can't tell the corruption of these officials in Sichuan through their accounts. But it doesn't mean that they are not corrupt, but that they are more covert and greedy!"
After Chen Huan entered Sichuan, it was as if he had entered a strange world. The previous rules were of no use at all. The officials from top to bottom actually worked together not to take notice of himself, the president's favorite, making it impossible for him to fight.
To open up the situation, it would be really great if there was someone who understood to help me clarify my doubts, so I smiled and said: "Old sir, if you can show your heart to the central government, I will definitely speak well for you in front of the president."
"Thank you for your support, sir. Sichuan is now ruled by businessmen. Many of the ministers are from wealthy businessmen. These people share weal and woe with Qiao Yu. It is with the support of these people that Qiao Yu can maintain his rule in Sichuan. Speaking of which,
Nowadays, Sichuan's officialdom is much better than in the past. The people at the top do not commit corruption, but the people at the bottom do not dare to do so. Therefore, it seems to be clean and bright, so you can't see any problems in the accounts."
Chen Huan frowned tightly: "How can those officials who are businessmen not be corrupt? They are all people who regard wealth as their lives. How can they not be tempted when real money is placed in front of them? I absolutely don't believe it.
!”
"Haha, your Excellency is right, but they don't see the profit from corruption in their eyes. They basically own factories and have a large number of industries. This is where they make money, such as building
A dam requires steel bars, cement, and sand. These things must be purchased from factories. Therefore, it seems that Sichuan has invested millions of taels. In fact, most of this money has become purchase money, which naturally falls into their pockets.
Why should they take the risk and embezzle? Sooner or later the money will fall back into their pockets!”….
Zhang Deyang told what he had observed over the past few days, and Chen Huan suddenly realized that he had indeed taken things too simply. The reason why Sichuan was monolithic was due to the strong bond of interests. If he rashly dealt with these financial
Spending money will inevitably lead to a concerted resistance from all over Sichuan. Fortunately, he has not taken action yet, otherwise he will be in big trouble. Looking at this Zhang Deyang, he still has some knowledge.
"Old sir, in your opinion, how should we open up the situation in front of us?"
"Sir, according to my observation, these wealthy businessmen in Sichuan also have a life gate. As long as they are caught, they can be forced to submit. This life gate is the Sichuan Investment Company!"
When Chen Huan heard Zhang Deyang say that a small company was his lifeblood, he was quite dissatisfied: "Old sir, what is the origin of this company that it can have such influence?"
"Sir, please don't underestimate this company. This is the bond of interest between Qiao Yu and all wealthy businessmen. In addition to direct investment in industry and commerce, this Sichuan company also provides guidance and help to other factories in Sichuan. As a result, more and more people
All the businessmen have been coerced into it. I don’t know exactly how large it has reached, but this company is definitely as rich as the country!”
At this moment, Chen Huan suddenly remembered the problems of Hanyang Iron Works some time ago. Didn't this large factory fall into the hands of Sichuan Investment Company? Thinking of this, Chen Huan's eyes gradually narrowed, and he gradually got a clue.
"Old sir, the content you provided is very helpful. Don't worry, I will definitely thank you very much!" After Chen Huan sent Zhang Deyang away, he took the initiative to send electricity to Lao Yuan, explained the situation in Sichuan in detail, and asked Lao Yuan to send some
Manpower entered Sichuan to help him capture the Sichuan Investment Company.
Chen Huan tried his best to get the financial power of Sichuan. Qiao Yu, who was in Tibet, also received a secret report from Wang Lingji. Even Zhang Deyang's visit to Chen Huan was clear about it. Since Chen Huan was restless,
Then he would have to stir up some noise. Qiao Yu knew very well Lao Yuan's current ambivalence.
Although he hoped to defend Tibet and hold on to his prestige, he was also worried that the British would fall out, so Chen Huan had no intention of going to Sichuan to hinder Qiao Yu, so he might as well put Lao Yuan on the fire.
At this time, Qiao Yu's vanguard had already approached Lhasa, and that afternoon, Feng Ru personally led two planes to fly into Lhasa and made contact with Luo Changchun who was trapped in Lhasa. This flight was also a great shock.
The conservative upper class of Tibet made them feel even more pressure from the Sichuan army.
At this critical juncture, Qiao Yu began to publicly interrogate Gongjue Jebu. He single-handedly controlled the Batang Massacre. More than 300 Han people were brutally murdered. There were many crimes. These photos were published in newspapers and spread throughout the country.
, even the world was shocked. It is incredible that in this civilized era, there are still places where living people are used for sacrifice. Public opinion in mainland China was also in an uproar.
At this time, Qiao Yu announced the public interrogation of a group of separatists who had committed heinous crimes and wanted to avenge the tragic deaths of his compatriots. One stone stirred up waves. The Snowy Land once again attracted the attention of the whole country, and the most depressing one was Zhu Erdian. China
Not only has the pace of people's counter-rebellion not slowed down, it is still accelerating. Public interrogations of the rebels have now begun. If things are allowed to develop, the pro-British forces will inevitably collapse. Isn't Yuan Shikai playing a trick on himself!
