Chapter 305
Mr. Su tenderly hugged Miss Zhu Er who was balled up like a kitten on his chest, listening to her soft complaints.
“…… those foreigners, so comfortable ah, they in our country, more comfortable than our own people, really call people upset!”
Zhu Yuyan is actually very clear, foreigners can be free and easy because their motherland is strong. The strong motherland sheltered their own nationals, so that they are also very safe in foreign countries. The Japanese didn’t dare to bully foreigners and only bullied the Chinese because China was too weak now.
It’s still necessary to make the country strong ah.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it. I heard Xiao Chen say that the government has no money now, you just came to power, is there anything you can do?” She asked worriedly.
An ordinary citizen’s family has to worry about their family’s food and drink when they have no money, a government has no money, it’s more than just a matter of food and drink.
She also thought a lot, such as whether to rob the rich ……
Su Chunjun: “The rich people in the city have all run out,Now the rich people are all over the river dragon, it is not good to clean up.”
He personally cleaned up Master Jin, like Master Jin there are a lot of rich people lost their lives in this way.
But rich men are counted, kill one, less one.
Besides, the rich men were not stupid, and had run away long ago when they realized the situation was bad.
Department stores are still busy, cabarets have not closed, and the number of rich people in the city has not decreased, but increased.
Because the local rich people ran away, the foreign rich people came again.
These rich people from outside are not only rich, most of them are also very powerful, or have soldiers and guns.
Su Chunjun has been introduced to many warlords’ spokesmen, their sons, brothers-in-law and so on by Chiang in the past few days.
Soldiers also want to make money, especially these troops from horse bandits and robbers. They are not afraid that Su Chunjun doesn’t have any money in his hand now. Many banks are happy to lend money to the government.
They are also not afraid of Su Chunjun reneging on his debt. In this world, people with guns in their hands always have more guts than others, and if they have 1,000 guns, 10,000 guns, or 100,000 guns, the guts will be even bigger.
At least like now, everyone is running out, dare to enter, all are the people who have to rely on.
In this way, Jiang dignitary is not really want to send Su Chunjun to die, he is not sincere for him to find a way?
The first step is to promise the Japanese that he will stabilize the country.
The first step is to promise the Japanese to stabilize the situation.
The second step is to borrow money from the bank and engage in war loans.
The advantage of war loans is that the repayment period is after victory. That is to say, the payment is not made by Su Chunjun, but by the city. At that time, it may be necessary to pay for some land, wharves and so on, and it may also be necessary to make some concessions in certain agreements.
But this will all have to wait until the government regains the initiative.
So, this is not a small deal. It’s not even one that can be paid back in a year or five.
But it certainly pays off very handsomely.
So the bank was happy to facilitate the deal, even going out of its way to find it over and over again.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether Su Chunjun, who signed the loan contract, will become a traitor in the history books.
The third step is to pay this loaned money to the warlord, who will then naturally send troops into the city to protect it.
Inside and out, Su Chunjun could get a considerable kickback from the bank. And the warlord would also give him a favor fee.
If he is a little more capable, he can also be “security of the people have merit” as the reason to all walks of life to ask for money, from the rich and powerful officials, down to the people, all have to pay a security fee, and then a share of the military expenses, in short, a variety of names, are to money business.
This is the “clear way” that Jiang Jiang showed him.
The success rate is very high.
It can even be said that Mr. Jiang did not want to harm him, he pointed out a clear way.
But it’s just a dead horse being treated as a living horse.
Because Mayor Feng and the previous government used this trick, and in the end, didn’t they let the army all run away because they couldn’t pay for it?
It’s a lot of money to bring the army in, but for the army to keep protecting the city, it needs to keep paying all the time.
The banks would be happy to give him unlimited funds, but the city was finite.
He could sell the docks once, could he sell them ten more times?
When he sold all the places in the city and the banks saw that he couldn’t take advantage of them here anymore and stopped lending him any more money, he would no longer be able to pay the army, and then what?
Mayor Feng will run away. Will he be able to do the same?
Hearing that he couldn’t arrest the rich man anymore, Zhu Yuyan was also relieved.
After all, it’s not a good thing.
Su Chunjun: “It has been agreed today to start printing money.”
Start printing money?
Zhu Yuyan straightened up and said, “The government has no credibility at all right now, so what good can printing money and sending it out do? You won’t be unaware of this. Is there no other way?”
Su Chunjun shook his head and said calmly, “There is no way. Even if we know that this will only exacerbate social conflicts, there is no other way.”
This was the tenth time the government had increased the printing of money.
The first nine times were when it was Mayor Feng. At that time, Mayor Feng faced the same situation as he did, both with empty pockets and no money to spend.
Everything else could be forgotten, but the government could not stop paying salaries.
What could be done?
It could only print money.
Once the money printing machine was turned on, money came out. Although it will cause inflation afterward, but there is no better way.
Su Chunjun has been trying his best to think of a way to rob rich people, but in the end, he can only open the money printing machine.
Because the money he needs now is not a small amount, the money printing machine is the fastest way.
The coquettish woman could not cook without rice.
The two of them snuggled together through this unspeakable time.
The next day, Zhu Yuyan went to the university to visit the second son.
No matter what it is like outside, the Japanese building here is the same as before, nothing has changed, just a little less people.
Zhu Yuyan walked all the way there and realized that it was almost all female students, with only a few male students.
She first visited Sakai-sensei, then visited Kobayashi-sensei, and finally came to talk to Sakai-sensei.
“I see that there seems to be some people missing, what’s going on?” She asked Sakai-sensei.
Sakai-sensei sighed and said, “They were all taken by the draft. It’s now a requirement that all Japanese men over the age of eighteen have to serve the Emperor and serve in the military. So all those male students who turned eighteen are already gone.”
She said painfully, “They also wanted to take away the female students, and a few teachers and I fought tooth and nail to stop them.”
Zhu Yuyan listened in horror.
The Japanese were going to increase their troops? Even the Japanese students who go to school in China want to take away, so eager ……
She was worried that the Japanese would soon take Chinese people as soldiers!
Zhu Yuyan couldn’t sit still at once and got up to say goodbye.
Sakai teacher said, “You go and visit Erzi, she has been missing you.”
Zhu Yuyan hurriedly asked, “By the way, how is Erzi doing? Is she being bullied?”
Sakai-sensei was trembling, and she closed her eyes tightly, “Those …… male students who are going to the army, they got together and …… bullied Erzi before they left… …They said that they didn’t want to leave regrets before they became soldiers, and that samurai were looking for prostitutes to soothe them before they went to war.” She couldn’t say any more and covered her mouth.
Zhu Yuyan couldn’t believe her ears!
