"A major opium case was seized in Sichuan, and the Tang governor was killed by the mastermind!"
"A large amount of cloud soil has been seized in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, and drug control in the southwest may become empty talk!"
"Opium caused the disaster, and Sichuan and Yunnan clashed again!"
Major newspapers have turned their attention to this major case. Nowadays, most local warlords in various places rely on opium to seek huge profits and maintain military operations, especially in poor places such as the southwest and northwest. Although everyone is like this, these
The warlords still have a sense of shame, knowing that this is something that harms the people, and the money they make from opium is also an unscrupulous money that will destroy their descendants. Once exposed, it may be a serious matter that will ruin their reputation.
Therefore, Tang Jiyao quickly became infamous under the offensive of public opinion. He was not even able to fight back. The matter also spread to Beijing. At this time, Lao Yuan was still entangled in the 21st and had already made concessions in Japan.
, a new treaty was about to be signed, but this battle made Yuan Shikai physically and mentally exhausted, and also made Lao Yuan thoroughly feel the difference between the great president and the great emperor. How many treasonous treaties were signed by the former Qing Dynasty? Couldn't Li Hongzhang be blamed for this?
Why is it so difficult to be president?
"Xingcheng, you and Xizi are helping me with my advice. What does Qiao Yu mean when he raises the opium issue at this time?"
Yang Shiqi was originally Yuan Shikai's chief adviser, and his status in Lao Yuan's heart was still very high. In addition, Yang Shiqi was a better person than Yang Du and was highly regarded by Lao Yuan. However, there were more and more twists and turns, and Lao Yuan saw Yang Du's
Yang Shiqi's talent and vision were far above that of Yang Shiqi. In such precarious times, great talents are needed even more, and accordingly Yang Shiqi's status has declined.
At this time, Lao Yuan first asked Yang Shiqi, obviously asking him to give him advice. The key was to see what Yang Du meant. Yang Shiqi was also very unconvinced and coughed and said: "President, in my opinion, Qiao Yu is short of money. Sichuan is here
In the past few years, factories have been set up, water conservancy projects have been renovated, and railways have been built, all of which cost money, especially this confrontation with Japan. After all, they are major powers. Britain, France, and the United States have come forward for Qiao Yu. I think it must have been Qiao Yu who made the promise.
Enough benefits, that's why Qiao Yu wants to develop opium now that his financial resources are exhausted. As long as Yuntu is contained, Sichuan can operate opium, and everyone will be tempted by the huge profits from opium!"
When Lao Yuan heard Yang Shiqi's words, he also had a hint of agreement. He also couldn't understand why Qiao Yu could make such a large investment. Even if businessmen from Sichuan gave him money, he might not be able to do this. What about the Sichuan-Hankou Railway?
It is so difficult to repair, but now it is almost all open to traffic. It is a miracle in the eyes of foreigners. There is no doubt that every inch of the road is paved with money. It is possible according to what Yang Shiqi said.
"Xizi, what do you think?"
"President, Qiao Yu is definitely not short of money now. Not only is he not short of money, he is also extremely rich!" Yang Du frowned slightly and said this. Yang Shiqi suddenly felt his face burning, and the basis for his judgment was established.
On top of Qiao Yu having no money, and Yang Du denying this issue with just one sentence, how could Yang Shiqi not feel resentful?
"Mr. Xizi, what you say must be well-founded!"
Yang Du ignored Yang Shiqi, but said to Yuan Shikai: "President, after the outbreak of World War I, I went to Sichuan, and then to Wuhan to mediate the conflict. After reading this, I understood what a cannon is.
There are thousands of taels of gold. Now there are cargo ships from Sichuan on the Yangtze River. They are transporting arms, food and other materials from Sichuan to the Allies, and then transporting various resources into Sichuan. I am ashamed to say that I have never seen so many cargo ships.
, Sichuan seized the opportunity of the war and exported a large amount of materials. I estimated that the total price of these goods should be more than hundreds of millions of pounds. Sichuan's profits were also more than 100 million pounds, and the tax revenue falling into Qiao Yu's hands should also be at least 100 million pounds.
100 million silver dollars, with such a huge profit, how could Qiao Yu be short of money?" b fu can only get so much tax revenue in a year, how can a small Sichuan achieve this level?
"Xizi, are you kidding? How can you have such a high profit?"
"President, I'm afraid it's much higher than this. I've been studying this matter these days!" Yang Du smiled bitterly: "President, in order to determine the accurate trade volume, I asked some friends in Europe
, they all said that a large number of Sichuan products have appeared in Europe. Sichuan's canned yak is the favorite food of the British and French frontline generals. Russia has imported a large number of rifles from Sichuan, and Sichuan's specialty bristle tung oil and other products are sold at sky-high prices. Qiao Yu's vision is absolutely
It’s amazing. After he took control of Sichuan, he used various means to establish an industrial foundation. The seeds he planted at the beginning have now sprouted and grown, and there will be a bumper harvest soon. It’s a pity that Qi missed a trick."
Qiao Yu can build a large number of factories. Beiyang controls the political power of the country and has far more abundant resources than Qiao Yu. In fact, he can do it and even do better. However, Beiyang has no such awareness at all and will use all his energy.
They were all used in the fight for power and wealth, and they drove Sun Dapao and his gang to Japan with all their strength. Then Beiyang was ready to enjoy the country without any decent construction work at all.
Only when Japan's bullying reached its head did Beiyang realize the fragility of his regime. But by this time, it was too late. Once the opportunity passed, it would never come back. But now Yuan Shikai did not want to let fate dictate.
"President, since industry can generate so much profit, we might as well build some factories to alleviate financial difficulties!"
Yang Shiqi was not very clear about the European War. He was more concerned about the competition for domestic factional interests, and his vision was relatively narrow, so he could only follow Yang Du's words.
A glimmer of light flashed in Yuan Shikai's eyes. It would be a good thing if he could build his own factory. Ever since he became president, Yuan Shikai has been overwhelmed by financial problems. Seeing an opportunity, Yuan Shikai also wanted to make a fortune.
Bundle.
"Xizi, what do you think of this idea?" Yuan Shikai has obviously regarded Yang Du as the number one plotter, and everything depends on Yang Du's wishes.
"President, Europe has been fighting for more than half a year. It is still uncertain how long it will continue to fight. It will take at least one or two years to build large-scale factories. By then, I am afraid that the European war will be over. What we can do now
The most important thing is to integrate existing military factories. Even if the quality of our products is relatively poor, Russia has reached its most difficult period now. It is said that they only need two or three people to use a rifle. As long as it can shoot out bullets, the Russians will want it.
, and the other is to encourage the establishment of some light industries, textiles, flour, matches, etc. These investments are small and profits can be seen quickly!"
Yang Du expressed his suggestion, and Yuan Shikai nodded secretly. Yang Du was indeed more knowledgeable than Yang Shiqi. From the conversation, it could be seen that Yang Du knew Europe and the entire world, not only the Jing Dynasty.
He also knows a lot about economics and is much smarter than Yang Shiqi.
"Xizi, since you said Qiao Yu is not short of money, then why did he rashly target Tang Jiyao?"
"President, please forgive me. I am afraid that Qiao Yu only wants to plot the entire southwest and take all three provinces into his own hands. Now Zhang Bailin of Guizhou is completely under Qiao Yu's orders. It can be said that the Sichuan army has occupied half of Guizhou. President, have you noticed
No, this time it’s not just Tang Jiyao, Liu Xianshi of Guizhou is also under attack, Qiao Yu is going to remove the obstacles in one fell swoop!"
After Yang Du told his estimate, Yuan Shikai and Yang Shiqi both had ugly expressions on their faces. If Qiao Yu dared to openly expand, it would be equivalent to destroying Zhong Yang's authority, and Lao Yuan would have to ask Qiao Yu.
Start a war.
Putting down a White Wolf will make the Beiyang Army in a hurry. It will be even more difficult to deal with Qiao Yu. What's even worse is the attitude of the great powers. If the trade between Sichuan and the great powers is really that close, I'm afraid the great powers won't look at it.
After Qiao Yu's defeat, he will definitely protect Sichuan. Since the great powers have this attitude, it means that there is no possibility of victory in Beiyang. The fate of Beiyang is now in the hands of the great powers. A president like Yuan Shikai is no better than a puppet on a string.
How many.
It would be even worse if Sichuan gained the advantage. Maybe the great powers would push Qiao Yu to the position of president, and everything would be terrible. There was also fine sweat on Lao Yuan's forehead, and it was a little difficult to breathe. Lao Yuan
It is obvious that my health is getting worse. You must know that no one in the Yuan family can live beyond the age of sixty.
"Xizi, please give me an idea on how to deal with Qiao Yu!" There was a hint of begging in Yuan Shikai's tone, which made Yang Shiqi feel frightened.
"President, I suggest you send Cai E to the southwest and give him a name to handle Tang Jiyao's affairs. Cai E has outstanding abilities. Maybe he can restrain Qiao Yu!"
The beijing President Yuan Da is plotting measures to check Qiao Yu, while Qiao Yu is enjoying a rare leisure in the backyard of Tiantai Tea House. At this time, the gorgeous Xue Yanniang is holding a baby eating milk in her arms, with plump breasts.
After Xue Yanniang gave birth, her figure became plumper, her chest looked like two small watermelons, plump and moving, and the baby in her arms was even more petite and cute.
This is Qiao Yu's first daughter. She has just been four months old. The little girl has inherited the excellent genes of her parents. Her face is so pink that it can almost ooze moisture, and she is as chubby as a lotus root. At this time, the little girl is sleeping soundly, and her hands are tight all the time.
Pressing tightly against her mother's chest, her little mouth was still opening and closing, as if she was still savoring the taste of breast juice.
"Yanniang, when our woman grows up, she will definitely be a domineering guy. You see, she dominates her mother even when she is sleeping. She doesn't even give me a chance to be her father!"
"Shun Qing, you are still jealous of your child. If you hadn't made me unable to stay with your child all night, would she be so fed up with me?" After saying this, Xue Yanniang's face also turned red, and her body unconsciously
Moved slightly.
Begging for mercy on the first day of the Lunar New Year, be sure to collect it!
