Chapter seven hundred and ninth financial collapse

After the rectification of the Lu army and the transfer of a large number of unstable elements to Shandong by immigration, Shaanxi's society became slightly stable for a while. Those who had the courage to make trouble left, and the rest were to safeguard the kind people. No matter how the government exploited it, they would not dare to resist.

Before the Lu army returned to Shandong, in addition to immigration, they did another major task, which was to bid for road construction. They raised funds from the private sector in the form of official business operations, and built the railway originally connected to Tongguan to Chang'an. A large number of laborers had stable work, which also stabilized the market. As the banknotes became less valuable, the road gradually became unable to be repaired, and the situation that was finally maintained collapsed again.

During the Chang'an Rebellion, Chen Fan made a fortune by releasing his troops and robbing them. However, he also had a great grudge with the local gentry in the northwest. He spent a lot of money to deal with Yuan Hanyun before he got the opportunity to govern the Shaanxi army.

After robbing in Shaanxi, he was able to become a general in this place, and proved that the power of gold, silver and treasures is much greater than that of axioms and law. So after Chen Fan took office, the first thing he thought was to collect more and more magic weapons to ensure that he had more and more magic weapons.

A large part of the road payment paid in advance by the contractor was retained and deducted by him. He did not dare to move only the part deposited in Siheng Bank. If the railway was to be completed, he would also make a fortune. As the sand in the meals of migrant workers became more and more and more, and the source of railway building materials became more and more suspicious.

Chen was a soldier and naturally knew the importance of the army. Soon after taking office, he began to expand his army wildly. The recruits used pistols and ropes to tie a large number of young and strong men from the countryside to join the army, and then changed a large number of farmland into duck fields to supplement military salaries with black goods trade.

Relying on the profits of the black goods, Chen Fan made friends with the Hongmen of Shantang, and introduced the party members into the army and bribed them to ensure that the association did not stand up and sang against it. He also let these underground forces enter the army and become their own minions, and then used the power of these underground members to suppress workers. With daggers and axes, they promoted the speed of railway construction and made several holes in journalists who opposed him, and shocked all dissidents. Today, in Shaanxi, the laws that are jointly law-sharing are no match for the rules of the hall, and law enforcement officers are not as powerful as those of the village agreement.

The Hong Xian system was soliciting public opinion. Chen Ye, like Zhang Zongyao, personally took up the saber and was in charge of voting to ensure that the proposal of abolishing the Communist Party and changing the monarchy was passed unanimously. But now, he has decided to change his mind.

The military pay of the troops is all issued in banknotes, but the money is becoming less and less valuable, and the military pay is always sharply reduced. The province's reposting is difficult to investigate. Many villages have formed civilian militia groups to confront Chen Fan's troops. If you are not careful, the second rebellion of saving the king may break out.

The boss of the Hongmen, also Chen Fan's sworn brother Liu Jie, placed another copy of the reposted chicken feathers on Chen Fan's desk.

"This is what came down from the mountain, and it means a few dragon leaders in the sect. Our Hongmen rebels against Jin and restores Han, and retires successfully. But now Yuan is coming out to be the emperor again, why? What qualifications are he qualified to be the emperor? The Yuan family is neither born nor raised by a dragon, nor has the surname Zhao, so why should he sit in that position? Our Hongmen brothers do not accept him. The big dragon leaders have something to say, and 100,000 Hongmen's children do not share the world with Yuan thieves. The brothers who are helping in the army, please give me a message. What do you think? Should I continue to work hard for Yuan thieves, or should I recognize the situation and follow the trend?"

Chen Fan knew that although the army was huge, his control ability was actually very limited. A large number of troops only recognized the leaders of the hall and did not recognize the commander of the army. If the power of the Hongmenshan Hall in Guanzhong opposed him, this supervisor would probably not be able to be the governor. He said without hesitation:

"Brother, what you said is boring. Do you still know who I am? I have always been loyal and don't care about official positions. Isn't it just against Yuan? I did it. Tell Siwa, let him take the guard brigade to Chang'an first, arrest all the people sent by the monkey head, and then block the road bureau, and we will turn on the electricity!"

He then remembered something and asked, "What should I do with Siheng Bank? It's very rich, should I let the soldiers be...?"

Liu Jie shook his head, "Don't do anything randomly. Siheng is the property of Zhao Guanhou, Shandong. If you stole his business, he will lead his troops to Guanzhong carefully. Even the Eastern people asked him to defeat him. Who could have beaten him? Send a company of troops to protect the safety of Siheng's business. Who dares to let go and kill him without mercy!"

The telegram from Shaanxi was a little later than the telegram. Chen Guan, the Sichuan Governor appointed by Yuan Weiting, issued a telegram earlier than Chen Fan. Of course, this obviously requires greater courage. After all, Chen Fan has an army of 100,000, and Chen Guan has no troops at hand. He is also stationed in the territory of Beiyang to conquer Yunnan, so he can be dealt with at any time.

But it is precisely because the Dian Army stationed in the territory that the telegram was released was even more lethal. It is inevitable that people would speculate whether the Dian Army had already gained a tacit understanding with Chen Guan, turning a blind eye to his behavior?

When Zhao Guanhou received the telegram, Yu Qing had completely admitted that he had failed and his whole body was in a low mood. Zhao Guanhou comforted him several times, but she still locked himself in the room and cried. A person's dream was broken, and it would definitely take a cycle to restore his mood. It was nothing more than that some people had the conditions to recover, and some people could only force this trauma to be suppressed in their hearts and not express themselves, and continue their lives due to practical reasons such as livelihoods.

Yu Qing obviously belongs to the part that has the conditions. Zhao Guanhou gave her a long vacation and arranged for Cuiyu to accompany her to help her to make peace. He only hopes that Yu Qing can quickly come out of the shadow of the failure of the bet and realize that today's China can no longer tolerate a dragon throne.

Zhao Guanhou himself came to the small villa and continued to serve Leng He. Although Ajiu and Annie were both there, it was obvious that with him by his side, Leng He's mood was much better, and even his bad temper could be suppressed.

"Chen Er'an can send this telegram, but Wu Ziyu's power is quite powerful. The eldest brother is a kind person. Although he is not satisfied with the monkey head, he will not really rebel. Only Wu Jingfula's lower face does not hesitate when talking about rebel. This Guan Gong is willing to be loyal to the boss again, but he is not loyal to others."

Leng He said: "I just can't understand why the troops of the Third Division have advantages in military strength and equipment, so why do we still have to fight back?"

"Although the Beiyang Army has an advantage in military strength, the progress on the battlefield is not satisfactory, and the Sichuan civilian army is in a trend of fighting more and more. Xiong Wu called on all the brothers of Pao to rise up and fight against Yuan. In addition, the Beiyang Army has taken counter-attacks, which has attracted a large number of Sichuan people to attack. What's even more serious is that Cai Feng seems to be rich. Before, he had no money, and his strength was weak, and it was difficult to get into the team. But now he seems to have a large amount of military pay, and Pao brothers of Pao have begun to hold him as the leader. Many of the officers of the brigades in Chen's hands were subordinates of Cai Feng. When the old commanders had military pay, many of them were willing to throw guns over. On the other hand, the Beiyang Army only had banknotes. The banknotes could not beat the ocean, and on the battlefield, Cai Feng was getting stronger and stronger. Although he had not lost the foundation of the Third Division, Wu Jingfu had to worry about the losses."

Zhao Guanhou picked up the second telegram again, "What's more, the situation in Hunan is also very dangerous now, and Cheng Songyun has a great influence in Hunan. This time he went to Hunan to organize the civilian army to fight against Yuan. Many local forces supported him. In addition, Zhang Zongyao... successfully allowed many neutral factions to join the anti-Yuan camp. As a result, I think the Beiyang soldiers in Hunan may not be the opponent of the Communist Party Army. Wu Jingfu was worried that the rear was cut off, the food and salary were interrupted, and he was even more worried that he would lose his strength and not get a return. So this time, it was probably the result of his discussion with the Communist Party Army."

"The economy is indeed the economy determines everything. The current situation is so chaotic. Both Yuan and Chen rebelled. I think, the government's monetary system will soon go bankrupt." Leng He frowned and said, "We have to consider the next method of coping. You must take care of the Ten Princess, but economic issues are also very important..."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "I know what you mean. I will go with the princess these days, but I will also have meetings here, so I won't miss the serious matter. If you are in poor health, you should take a rest and don't go too much. Our baby is the most important thing."

Leng He looked at Annie, "My current situation is indeed not as good as usual, everything is done for you." After she said that, she grabbed her husband's hand and put it on her abdomen. "Touch it, the little thing is moving again, I can feel... so cute. Annie, when the child is born in the future, how about you, mother?"

Diane, who was sitting with her, was so furious that she was blushed by the two of them. After all, she was still an unmarried woman. Even if she had an inappropriate relationship with Chen Lenghe, she was always embarrassed to see her getting close to her husband with her own eyes. When Lenghe mentioned her, she seemed to be shot and jumped up suddenly, "I can't be a mother, and I don't plan to get married..."

Leng He smiled and said, "What do you mean not planning to get married? Really, godmother, it's not just giving you my baby. You have seen this now. It's hard for me to help you with the banking business. Thank you so hard. This time, this matter is no longer a problem that can be solved by the economy. You still have to ask your brother-in-law what to do, and everything will be followed by his arrangements."

Zhao Guanhou originally wanted to go to accompany the Tenth Princess in the afternoon, but when the meeting was held in the evening, Zou Xiurong ran into the small villa in a hurry just after noon. Leng He had already gone to rest at this time. Zhao Guanhou was chatting with Annie, and she didn't avoid anything. She rushed in and said in a hurry: "Fourth brother, don't care about this place now, you have to care about the lives and death of the people first. Liang Caishen is simply a mess. If he does this like him, there will definitely be a big mess."

"Second sister-in-law, don't panic, what's going on?"

"We just found out that Liang Caishen and Yuan Keyun cooperated to promote abolish money across the country. It is said that Hong Xian's current rule of law is abolished and greedy, a large number of officials are full of personal pockets, landlords and gentry hide their property and resist tax payments. Some people exchange silver dollars to support Cai Feng. In order to crack down on these corrupt officials and the Cai party, they decided to completely abolish money. It won't take long to issue an order to hand over the banknotes issued in total, and the banknotes and bonds were terminated, and existing banknotes are not allowed to be exchanged for silver dollars. After the new banknotes are issued, they will be exchanged at a discount. Isn't this obvious that you want to rob money?"

"It seems that Liang Cai Shen can't hold on." Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly: "The God of Cai who prints money indiscriminately, when I see him, I can't spare him! It seems that I have to deal with it. Second sister-in-law, please help me call Aunt Jin and the others. Ajiu, call Jason, we are in charge of the money pockets, and we are going to hold a meeting. Annie, I will prepare coffee for you. Maybe we have to stay up late today."

Seeing that he was confident, Diane's heart was a little calm, but she was afraid that he was good at military affairs and was not good at economics, so she couldn't figure out the dangers of this situation. She held up the coffee and said, "Brother-in-law, you can't be too careless. We Zhengyuan also saved a lot in the two lines. Also, we owe us debts..."

"Drink coffee. Drink all the coffee, I'll tell you." Zhao Guanhou raised his cup. Diane had no choice but to finish the coffee. Zhao Guanhou waited for her to put down the cup, and then smiled and stretched out his hand and tidied her hair on her temples. "Look, they are all Zhengyuan's managers, how can you still be so sloppy? Let Ajiu help you make hair. Ajiu is a great hair stylist. After you finish it, the bag will look good. Look at you, your eyes are so red and you are very haggard. You must have not had a good sleep for a few days."

Diane's fair face turned red, and the coffee cup almost fell to the ground. She lowered her head and called her brother-in-law. Her eyes looked at Lenghe.

"Okay, let's talk about the main business now. For the sake of war, the emperor made a ruthless move and the machine drove enough money to print money. Originally, our banknotes were exchanged one to one with silver dollars, but now, seven yuan could only be exchanged for one yuan of silver. This is the best place, and the difference is lower. Liang Cai Shen Luo was poor and could not borrow foreign debts, so he could only close the door. More importantly, the imperial system could not be maintained. The situation became more and more like Ge Ming, who was like Sun Emperor, and the imperial system was not cancelled, and the scene could not be stopped. But in order to be emperor, Liang Cai Shen took the debt. I heard that the preparatory office of the ceremony owed more than 10 million in debt. If the imperial system was abolished and had not paid off, he would have to pay the money. Therefore, he must have tried to find a way to repay his own account first. The reserves in the two lines would be used to clear the account."

"Ah? What should I do?" Annie said anxiously: "The Communist economy has just improved a little, so I can't just end it. Besides, we Zhengyuan..." She said anxiously, subconsciously grabbed Zhao Guanhou's arm, and suddenly realized that her behavior was not appropriate, and she was so scared that she retreated quickly.

Zhao Guanhou laughed and said, "I don't have an infectious disease. Why are you doing that far away from me? Come and sit here. Look at you, you are afraid of being like this, and you don't have any calmness at all. In this regard, you are not as good as Lenghe. Lenghe no matters how much money is left on the books, it will always give people the feeling that she has endless money to spend. Only when she has confidence can the depositors be confident and we can discuss business with others. They are like you, like a little rabbit, how dare they give us money?"

Annie murmured in a low voice: "I am not as good as Sister Leng He."

Zhao Guanhou continued to say, "Isn't it just that the two banks went bankrupt? Let's see how bold Liang Caishen is, and he dares to let me get the bill. No matter how bankrupt he goes bankrupt, he will pay back a penny of ours, and he can't get it back. In addition, if the bills are invalidated, the two banks will inevitably close. We Zhengyuan and Siheng will not close. We promise to use Lu tickets to pay deposits and exchange them for banknotes. Of course, we have to deduct 100% of the deposits, and only 60% of the banknotes will be redeemed, and the banknotes will be exchanged in half. If the depositor is willing to bear this loss, then take the certificate of deposit and go to our bank to withdraw money."

"Ah? No, no, we can't take this debt." Annie shook her hands and shook her head desperately. But Ajiu couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Annie, you are the same when you are talking about business with others? If so, then Ajiu would say one more thing. You are really not good enough. You will be bullied. When I was in Huile, I also knew that I had to be a stern face and be a gentleman, and those old fighters would take you seriously. If you are so easy to bully, they will gain a lot of urgency."

Diane also wondered that she could always keep moving forward and backward when she talked to others in the bank. Why did she breathe faster when she met Zhao Guanhou, her face turned red and her ears were empty? It must be because Sister Leng He was not here, it must be like this...

"This is not a debt burden, it is a debt rectification. When your sister Leng He wakes up later, you can ask her yourself."

"I didn't sleep at all." Leng He held the door with one hand, and the person was already standing at the entrance of the living room, looking at Annie with a smile. "You are really stupid. Your brother-in-law has a certainty, just follow his arrangements. I guess your brother-in-law's next step is to take you to Beijing and have an interview with Liang Caishen."

"Interview? I can't..." Annie felt ecstatic at first when she thought of going to Beijing with Zhao Guanhou, but then she was inexplicably panicked. What came to her mind was the scenes she had seen several times that she had not been able to break through, and she said quickly: "It's better for Sister Leng He, go, why don't Ajiu go."
