    Zhao Bingjun sat on the chair and remained still: "Yes, I will take some time to attend the state meeting. Why, can't Zhao come?"

    Tang Shaoyi laughed a few times: "What are you talking about? Brother Zhi'an, as the chief minister of the interior, should attend the state meeting in time. But a few days ago, I heard that you were seriously ill and were recuperating in the mansion. Tang and his colleagues in the cabinet were worried about you.  Thank you very much, and I hope that Brother Zhi'an will recover soon and attend the meeting as soon as possible. It's really a surprise to see Brother Zhi'an attending state affairs today!"

    However, Zhao Bingjun did not appreciate it at all: "Zhao has always been in strong health, and he was as usual in the past few days. The reason why he did not attend the State Council meeting was because Zhao was too lazy to come. As for Zhao's attendance at the State Council today, I guess Prime Minister Shaochuan was happy  Not even a little bit, but 100% surprised, right?"

    Seeing Zhao Bingjun tearing down the platform and setting up rice seedlings like this, how could Tang Shaoyi not understand his purpose?  He laughed aloud immediately, went straight to the seat at the top and sat down, took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, and then asked seriously: "Commanders-in-Chief, what are the proposals of each department today?"

    Song Jiaoren, the director-general of agriculture and forestry, spoke first: "On behalf of the southern provinces, I propose a motion to ask the State Council to draft the Senate to allow the establishment of a bureau to investigate and reward those who contributed to the founding of the country."

    Zhao Bingjun glanced sideways at Song Jiaoren: "Isn't this a matter of our Ministry of Internal Affairs? When did it become the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's turn to overstep its bounds? It's really ridiculous!"

    Song Jiaoren immediately retorted: "You, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have nothing to do with their duties and do not seek political advice in their positions. Do you still not allow others to interfere?"

    Tang Shaoyi quickly explained: "Chief Zhi'an doesn't know something. The purpose of the State Council is for everyone to express their opinions on the current state affairs and save the shortcomings without being limited to the departments they are in charge of. Therefore, Chief Dunchu's proposal is not considered overstepping."

    Zhao Bingjun snorted a few times and stopped talking.

    Song Jiaoren continued: "Although the Republic of China was founded not long ago, righteous men from all over the country were determined to drive out the Tartars and regain China twenty years ago. They came forward one after another and rose up. During this period, countless people sacrificed their lives for the country and achieved special honors. The dead have died.  For a scrap of loess, he remains unknown, and even suffers the reputation of being a traitor; those who have made contributions have exhausted their wealth, suffered from injuries and illnesses, and may be hungry, cold and poor. If the country does not praise them, how can they comfort the deceased and encourage those who come?

    "Many people think that the best reward for those who have made meritorious service in the revolution is to give them an official position. However, they do not know that the price of using an official position as a reward is the same as not giving a reward for meritorious service, which will seriously damage the image of the government. What's more, there are many meritorious officers and soldiers, and the government established by the country  What about limited official positions? Therefore, it is urgent to set up a bureau to investigate and count the officials who contributed to the founding of the country, distinguish the levels of rewards and pensions for each person, and establish corresponding reward terms. For example, the gentry who had their property expropriated and funded the revolution before and after the Restoration should also be given  Certain compensation will be provided to demonstrate the government¡¯s credibility.¡±

    Duan Qirui immediately asked: "Commander Dunchu, are the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army who died in Hubei last year also included in the pension rewards?"

    Song Jiaoren sneered: "Back then, the Beiyang Army willingly served as Manchu hawks and went south to strangle the revolution, causing numerous casualties to the rebels and civilians. Not holding them accountable for their crimes after the founding of the People's Republic was considered an extrajudicial favor. They still want pensions and rewards? Zhiquan  The commander-in-chief is too whimsical!"

    Duan Qirui said: "According to what President Dunchu said, the only ones who receive pensions and rewards are you revolutionaries?"

    Song Jiaoren replied confidently: "That's natural! Who gives us revolutionaries the greatest credit?"

    Zhao Bingjun said at this time: "The proposal to establish the Jixun Bureau may be discussed again. Zhao only cares about one issue. What Director Dunchu said is both reward and compensation. Where does this money come from? Now the treasury is empty, rats.  They all starved to death. If Zhao remembers correctly, the problem of borrowing money for the aftermath of the last disarmament has not been resolved yet? By the way, Prime Minister Shaochuan, I heard that you refused the loan conditions of the Six Nations Bank Group. What happened?  thing?"

    Everyone present was suddenly shocked: It seems that this is the reason why Zhao Bingjun specially attended the state meeting today. It seems that the finale is about to begin!

    Tang Shaoyi pulled out an agreement from the pile of documents in front of him and said with a smile: "Tang originally planned to discuss this matter with colleagues later. Since Director Zhi'an specifically asked about it now, why not discuss this issue first?  !¡±

    Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Tang Shaoyi continued: "When the State Council was established, the president came in person and delivered a speech, pointing out that the current top priority of the government is to quickly clarify military affairs, so as to avoid fiscal deficits, reduce the burden on the people, and maintain the normal operation of the government.  Purpose. According to the instructions of the President, colleagues in the cabinet began to solve and clarify military affairs issues, and found that the root of the problem was how to demobilize redundant soldiers. When demobilizing redundant soldiers, most of them were veterans of the war in the north, while most of them were revolutionary heroes in the south.?It is essential, otherwise countless troubles will occur.  It is estimated that the cost will be more than 3 million yuan.

    "As Director Chi-an said just now, the national treasury is empty, and the only way to raise this huge sum of money is borrowing. After Tang reported to the president, he negotiated a loan with a group of banks from six countries that had priority in borrowing money in accordance with the relevant agreement.  Matters. The six-nation banking group agreed to borrow money, but there was an additional condition, which was to supervise our government's finances. This condition seriously undermines the country's independence and sovereignty, so Tang will naturally find it difficult to agree to it¡ª¡ª"

    Zhao Bingjun suddenly interrupted Tang Shaoyi's statement: "Prime Minister Shaochuan, as far as Zhao knows, the so-called conditions for the six-nation banking group to supervise our government's finances are only to supervise the use of funds and supervise the demobilization of the army. How can it be seriously detrimental to the situation?"  Has the country become independent and sovereign?¡±

    Zhao Bingjun has the same views as Sun Yuanqi!

    Just when Sun Yuanqi was sweating for Tang Shaoyi, Tang Shaoyi replied: "Although the six countries of Britain, Germany, France, Russia and Japan did not act excessively after the founding of the Republic of China, they were full of misdeeds in the former Qing Dynasty, not to mention the burning of the Old Summer Palace and the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War.  Waiting for old news, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces attacked the capital ten years ago, causing the emperor and empress to hunt west, and finally signed the "Xin Chou Treaty", compensating the eight countries for 980 million taels of silver. I guess General Zhi'an still remembers this matter, right?

    "As the saying goes, 'You must have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to defend others', and these six countries are all in the Eight-Nation Alliance, how do you know they will not come back in the future? In Tang's opinion, the six countries' banking group supervision is  It is false to pay and disband the army, but it is true to inquire about our country¡¯s military deployment and military equipment! Wouldn¡¯t this seriously harm the national interests and endanger the country¡¯s independence and sovereignty?¡±

    Zhao Bingjun spit out four words: "It's unfounded to worry about the sky!"

    "It's not unreasonable to worry about the future, but a teacher who never forgets the past and the future!" Tang Shaoyi corrected: "It is precisely in view of this that Tang saw that the six-nation banking group insisted on supervising the conditions of our government's finances, so he had to politely decline and find another one.  After several rounds of selection and negotiation, Huaxi Bank, which came in and became famous, was finally selected as the loan target. Huaxi Bank agreed to borrow 5 million yuan, and the conditions were very favorable. The annual interest was only 3%. The interest rate of the Six Nations Bank Group was  Five cents!¡±

    Zhao Bingjun said: "I'm afraid the conditions we offer are also very 'favorable', right?"

    "Our condition is to use the income and property of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway as guarantee and give Huaxi Bank the right to issue currency nationwide." Since the signed agreement must be passed by the cabinet, it is natural that all the terms must be made public, so Tang Shaoyi did not hide it.  .

    Zhao Bingjun was surprised and said: "What? You actually want to give the currency issuance rights to Huaxi Bank?"

    He actually knows the right to issue currency, which shows that he is well prepared.

    Tang Shaoyi looked unmoved: "Yes! Now the national financial market is in chaos and there are many types of currencies, which seriously hinders the circulation of goods and economic development. There is an urgent need for a certain bank to unify the currency. The silver coins issued by Huaxi Bank are exquisitely carved and of appropriate weight. They have been  It has been widely circulated in the Yangtze River Basin and gradually spread to the whole country. I think everyone here has used it. Since it has already been issued as currency, why not give it a false name now?"

    Zhao Bingjun¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°But Huaxi Bank is a foreign bank, how can we give it our currency issuance rights?¡±

    Tang Shaoyi said lightly: "Who said that Huaxi Bank is a foreign bank? It's just spreading rumors! As far as Tang knows, nearly 100% of Huaxi Bank's shareholders are Chinese nationals. How can it be a foreign bank?"

    Zhao Bingjun jumped up immediately: "Nonsense! Who doesn't know that the manager of Huaxi Bank is an American woman? Tang Shaochuan, do you think you can deceive everyone here by just talking nonsense?"

    At this time, Zhang Jian said softly: "I heard that Ms. Lilith, the manager of Huaxi Bank, has become a Chinese national. Baixi, do you think so?"

    Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to reply: "What Shi Weng said is right! At the end of last year, in order to solve the shortage of silver coins in Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places, Huaxi Bank jointly issued currency with Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces. At that time, it was feared that the gentry in various places would be worried that Huaxi Bank was a foreign bank.  Refusing to use the new silver dollar, Ms. Lilith became a Chinese national in Sichuan."

    Zhao Bingjun was immediately furious and pointed at Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Jian and others: "You, you!"

    Tang Shaoyi unconsciously said: "Do you have any other opinions? If you don't have any opinions, let's vote by a show of hands!" After speaking, he raised his arms.

    Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Jian, and Tang Shouqian naturally voted in favor, and Song Jiaoren and Wang Chonghui also quickly raised their hands in favor.  In this way, even if five members of the Yuan faction, including Zhao Bingjun, Duan Qirui, and Liu Guanxiong, as well as centrists Lu Zhengxiang and Xiong Xiling, all vote against it, these bills can still be passed by a simple majority at the State Council.

    Without waiting for the few remaining people to express their stance, Zhao Bingjun said bitterly: "Anyway, the agreement still has to go to the presidential palace for sealing. Even if you can barely pass it in the cabinet, it won't get through with the president!" After that, he walked away, leaving everyone in the meeting.  There were big eyes and small eyes in the room.  (To be continued.
