Volume Two Chapter 320: The Plan Behind the Plan

No one is a fool, and everyone knows the benefits. It is even more intense than the debate last night when today's meeting. Fang Zida, who had already prepared a long time ago, asked Liao Zhongkai to make the meeting minutes, and each one was officially recorded in text. The meeting started from morning to evening. All parties proposed nearly 70 proposals in various ways, but Fang Zida did not refuse. After Liao Zhongkai sorted out the meeting minutes, he immediately announced that the more than 70 proposals were officially formed as the main purpose of the post-war government. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice assisted, and the heads of the heads were divided according to the content of the proposal. This result was a happy ending.

After the meeting, the generals who were still immersed in excitement happily chatted and left happily. Fang Zida, who had hardly had a long rest since last night, felt sleepy after relaxing. He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, closed his eyes and raised his hand to the table, rubbed his forehead lightly with his thumb.

"Yingming, are you okay?" Fang Zida opened his eyes and saw that the Chief Financial Officer Tang Shaoyi was looking at him.

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired." Fang Zida replied with a smile.

Nodded slightly, Tang Shaoyi asked in a low voice when he saw that the others had left the conference room, "Zheng Ming, this proposal is probably inappropriate, right?"

“What’s wrong?”

Tang Shaoyi said solemnly: "There are more than 70 proposals. Although I do not deny that some of these proposals are very likely to succeed, the economic strength and fiscal revenue of the Republic of China cannot meet all requirements at all. Moreover, such a big thing must not be hidden from the eyes of all countries. Our Allies are not all fools. Who would not understand the key? Especially Japan, Japan has suppressed China since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and in the early stage, it took advantage of the opportunity of war in Europe to sneak attack on me, Fengtian, Jiaodong and other places. Their ambitions are obvious. With such a move, Japan will definitely not turn a blind eye, and will definitely come up with some tricks at that time."

"Haha, of course I know this." Fang Zida replied with a smile.

"Then why are you still..." Tang Shaoyi blurted out in surprise, but as soon as he said that, he immediately understood. Tang Shaoyi was a prime minister after all, and when he saw Fang Zi reaching the head, he thought of another possibility.

"You mean... a bill belongs to a bill, success or failure depends on success or failure?"

"yes!"

Fang Zida nodded and smiled, "You should encourage your enthusiasm. Besides, this is also a good thing. Why bother to get stuck too hard in the bill and let everyone down? But no matter what the bill is, you still have to do things within your ability. You have to eat food in one bite and do things one by one. This is the reason why you can't become fat in one breath. How much fund can the national finance have? This is fixed. No matter how great you and I have great skills, it is impossible to make money out of thin air, right?"

Tang Shaoyi was stunned when he heard this. Isn’t Fang Zida Mazi called Mazi a scam? He threw out such a big pie at the cabinet meeting and finally got a card in the finance department. It is estimated that half of these more than 70 proposals will be successful. Is this appropriate? Tang Shaoyi couldn’t help but worry about Fang Zida. Once the cabinet chiefs were disappointed and took off their anger on Fang Zida, wouldn’t this be shot in the foot?

"How is that possible?" Seeing Tang Shaoyi worrying about him, Fang Zida shook his head and smiled: "Our government's finances are open. The greater the power we have, the greater the task. As long as we make arrangements at that time, we will be equal. There is nothing to say about a bowl of water. In other words, there is no war compensation? Mr. Shaochuan should not underestimate this compensation. If it is operated well, it will be a considerable amount. Moreover, these proposals are now subject to the heads of the heads of each department, and the Eight Immortals show their magical powers across the sea. Maybe it is not impossible to handle them."

"This..." Tang Shaoyi felt dizzy. Fang Zida's words sounded unreasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't figure it out for a while. As for the reactions of Japan and other countries, Fang Zida didn't care. Some things were definitely not hidden, so he just did it openly. Why can Japan do this if it has the ability? Look at their own abilities. If he has the ability, he would move the entire Germany home. Fang Zida didn't say anything. This is a clear plan. What can the Japanese do under the eyes of the world?

After frowning slightly and thinking for a long time, Tang Shaoyi felt that his mind was not enough. Fang Zida was not stunned for a long time, so he stood up and said goodbye and went back to the official residence to rest. After Fang Zida left, Tang Shaoyi was still thinking for a long time, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When he returned to the official residence, Fang Zida did not rest early, but went to the study room with fatigue. Yang Du, who had been waiting for him in the study room, saw Fang Zida come in with a tired look on his face, and quickly stood up and said, "Zhengming, why don't you go and rest first, and we're going to talk tomorrow?"

"It's okay, some things will be discussed sooner, I can resist this tiredness." He waved his hand and signaled Yang Du to sit down, took the hot towel sent by the servant and wiped a few times, took a sip of strong tea, lit a cigar, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt much more awake.

"What do you think of the proposals for today's cabinet meeting?"

Although Yang Du, as the president of the Central Bank, is not a formal member of the cabinet, he also attended today's meeting. Moreover, Yang Du has contributed a lot to the more than 70 proposals at today's meeting. It can be said that Yang Du has made a lot of efforts in the formation of this proposal.

After hearing Fang Zida's question, Yang Du immediately laughed: "How can Zheng Mingzhi not know what he thinks about? This proposal belongs to the proposal, success or failure depends on success or failure. The two cannot be discussed together."

"Hahaha, Xizi is worthy of being a Xizi!" Fang Zida smiled and Yang Du also laughed. The two of them had the same intentions and everything was in it.

"Germany heavy industry, especially military technology, equipment, middle and lower officer groups, scientists and skilled workers, are our real goals. Let Xizi do this matter personally. I will notify Cao Runtian to cooperate with you. As for other aspects, let them do it themselves. If it can be done, of course it will be good, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't."

"I understand, but some of these matters have been handed over to the Ministry of National Defense, General Staff and Ministry of Rural Affairs and Commerce. I will negotiate directly..." Yang Du asked with some concerns.

"It's okay." Fang Zida made a circle in the air with a cigar in his hand: "Although the cabinet proposal is responsible for all parts of the heads, Xizi should not forget that the main ones are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice. Besides, you are the president of the central bank now, so you don't need money to do these things? You, the God of Wealth, can only praise you when you see them, how can you think you are in the way? Of course, you must also grasp the degree. Some things that should not be known to outsiders need to be kept secret. You just need to do everything you should do. As for the others, turn a blind eye and let them mess around."

"Haha, Zheng Ming is really easy to plot. I'm afraid no one would have thought of this plan to secretly repair the plank road and secretly overcome Chen Cang? If we don't know the real goal for a long time, we'll probably be furious."

"Oh, this is also a helpless move. It's because the country is weak and the people in the cabinet are uneven. Otherwise, I wouldn't do this. When you finish the important tasks, you can help them as much as you can, so as not to make some people look bad." Fang Zida sighed, paused and said, "As for the funds that go from the Ministry of Finance, the other part will directly allocate funds from the United States as discussed in advance. However, Xizi must remember that this money must be strictly confidential and no one except you and me must disclose it."

Yang Du restrained his smile and pointed: "Don't worry, I know the pros and cons of it."

Fang Zida was still very relieved when Yang Du was in charge of the service. This person was not a person who had no choice but to say. Finally, Fang Zida reminded him a few more words, asking him to go to *hai as soon as possible and urge Jiang Zhiqing to speed up the issuance of bonds to raise funds in the shortest time.

Jiang Zhiqing is now in Shanghai. He now holds the Asian issuance rights of various financial derivatives. In addition, he and several bigwigs from Shang* Beach cooperate with the underground foreign exchange market that cooperate with the Japanese Kansai business community, have made a lot of achievements every day. In order to commend Jiang Zhiqing's contribution, Fang Zida has promoted him to the position of vice president of the Central Bank. In this regard, Jiang Zhiqing has also become a senior government official.

In addition, since the bond issuance incident was negotiated with the Russian Empire's orthodox government, Fang Zida instructed Jiang Zhiqing and the American consortium to start preparing without stopping. The Russian Empire's Central Bank was officially established a few days ago. The new Russian currency, which is the new ruble printing, will be produced by the Chinese Central Bank. As for the issuance of bonds, the Central Bank of China and several major American consortiums, will be jointly responsible for and underwritten by the Chinese Central Bank. Secondly, China and the American consortium can obtain huge profits, and with the astronomical gold reserves of the Russian Empire's orthodox government, the sales of these bonds are not a problem at all.

According to the fiscal budget, government funding is far from meeting Fang Zida's plan. Moreover, if fiscal expenditure exceeds the budget, it must be approved by Congress and the Presidential Office. If the amount is too large, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Fang Zida asked Yang Du to be responsible for this matter. Most of his funds did not go through the Ministry of Finance, but paid by the central bank. This can be regarded as a pure commercial operation, and Congress can be bypassed to achieve the simplest and most effective effect. As for the American consortium, Fang Zida has also done it well.
