I won’t talk about the matter of Shanghai for the time being. Zhou Chen is also a kind of supervision of Jiang Zhiqing in Shanghai. Whether they have a fight or how Zhou Chen wins Fang Zida’s trust again with practical actions depends on whether Zhou Chen has made a difference.

The negotiations in Europe are still continuing, and the prices offered by the French are simply unacceptable. Although the French have given up a little in form under the coordination of other countries of the Allies, they are still something that the German Provisional Government cannot bear. Therefore, it is still a long way to go when the entire negotiation will have a result.

During the negotiation process, countries were not idle, especially the Chinese took the lead and took a lot of benefits from the defeated countries. Following the Chinese government, other countries also reselled the assets of the defeated countries. Although they did not need Germany's basic industry, who would not like the matter of replacing these scrap copper and iron for real money and silver?

With this trend, the representatives of various countries at the negotiating table are hypocritical, as if they are discussing how to judge the defeated countries. But at the negotiating table, these representatives have transformed into insatiable merchants, and the countries with the resources of the defeated countries are doing big deals with each other. The entire Paris fǎngfo has become a paradise for international brokers.

In this feast, the Chinese government achieved brilliant results. The Japanese government, which was one step behind, would certainly not be willing to do so. Although compared with the Chinese government that had been prepared for a long time, the Japanese had almost no advantage, but in order to restrain China, the top leaders of the Allied Powers still gave Japan some benefits.

The effort to seize a little leftover from the Chinese, and the Japanese government paid a huge price. Because the yen withdrew from the international currency market, the only part of the domestic exchange exchange transactions between the Japanese yen and the local areas caused a loss of exchange rate of more than 20%. Moreover, because Japan did not expect the Chinese to take action so quickly and decisively, on the one hand, mobilized funds and also used the government's name to deal with the Allies. For example, the United Kingdom and the United States to rush to buy industrial resources of the defeated countries, so it also caused quite a small loss.

Through these two aspects, the Japanese government finally found several factories and mining facilities, but the price paid was not affordable. This made the Japanese show their strength in front of the Chinese and compete with each other. They couldn't help but shook their heads and sigh. Because of this, the Japanese cabinet had even begun to discuss the proposal to redevelop the Japanese currency market.

After receiving a report from the Intelligence Bureau about the Japanese government in Europe, Fang Zida couldn't help laughing in the office. The Japanese were swollen and fat. Except for some expenses and costs, the rest of the losses in the foreign exchange market were all flowed into the pockets of the Chinese government. In order to compete with the Chinese government for the Chinese government, the money borrowed from the United States actually ended up on the Chinese government. Fang Zida had already calculated this in the plan, and the Japanese were destined to do so. So from the beginning, Fang Zida made preparations with the American consortium and waited for the Japanese to hook up.

What's more, the Chinese government took some important factories, mines and other facilities before everyone. The things that the Japanese later snatched were left by the Chinese government. Even if they were transported back to Japan, it was comparable to the current basic industrial level of Japan and did not play much role at all. Moreover, Japan is a country with poor resources, and all industries have to rely on imported resources from abroad for operation. This is compared with China, which has a vast territory and rich mineral resources. Its innate shortcomings are obvious.

"When will Yang Xizi come back?" Fang Zida asked casually when she laughed at Yang Yongtai.

"I guess next month, the telegram said that Brother Xizi had already gone to Hamburg some time ago. According to the itinerary, he will board the boat with this group of German technicians." Yang Yongtai replied, revealing his envy of Yang Du's trip. This time, Yang Du's plan to go to Europe as the president of the Central Bank to implement Fang Zida's plan was a great success. As a friend, Yang Yongtai was happy for him. At the same time, he sighed why the person who went there was not himself.

However, Yang Yongtai was also in his heart. As the Secretary-General of the State Council, he was Fang Zida's housekeeper, and his status was no less than Yang Du, and his focus on his work was not allowed to leave the country for a long time. Providing advice for Fang Zida was everything he had to do.

"It's really long after going." Fang Zida smiled bitterly and shook his head. The transportation in this era is really inconvenient. It takes at least 2 months to travel to Europe. And it's still a smooth journey. If there are wind and waves on the road, the time may be longer.

It’s not like decades later, when you go to Europe or return to China from China, buy a ticket and take a flight for more than ten hours to arrive. Now, although the plane has made its mark on the European battlefield, European countries have officially formed air force, so the performance and safety of the aircraft in this era are still far away to achieve what Fang Zida thought.

Thinking of the plane, Fang Zida suddenly remembered the task assigned to Chen Ju. More than a year has passed, and I don’t know how Chen Ju is doing.

After asking about Yang Yongtai’s recent work arrangements, Fang Zida had the idea of ​​going to Chen Yu to inspect. He did it as soon as he thought of it. This was Fang Zida’s usual personality, so he soon decided to ask Yang Yongtai to arrange his itinerary as soon as possible.

Now Fang Zida is the prime minister of a country, and his travel is not as easy as before. In addition to the itinerary, there are also confidentiality, security work, etc. Moreover, he went to the military research base this time, which requires absolute confidentiality, so Yang Yongtai did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately notified Chen Guofu to make a security plan and personally implemented the itinerary. He went for more than ten days before he confirmed this matter.

On this day, Fang Zida held a state meeting as usual, and the main discussion of the development issues next year was about the development issues. Due to the victory of the European War, a series of compensation agreements signed by the Chinese government since the Qing Dynasty had basically been cancelled. Among them, the compensation from Britain and France was stopped when China sent troops due to China's participation in the war. Although the final agreement on Europe was not signed, the three countries have actually determined to cancel the original treaty. And the allies, since China declared war, these compensations no longer existed. As for the United States, on the issue of Boxer Indemnity, the Russian government had long since the Boxer Indemnity was returned to China, let alone the Russian government. China did not recognize that the orthodox government of the Russian Empire was supported by China. They only owe China what China owed them? After counting, only the Japanese were shamelessly deaf and dumb, holding on to the issue of compensation.

As a result, China's fiscal situation has improved a lot, and coupled with the huge benefits achieved by the Chinese government in domestic construction and Europe, the development issues next year are optimistic and extremely important. In this regard, Fang Zida asked all departments to make targeted plans for reference and implementation, and at the meeting, he pointed out at the meeting that if any department is careless and perfunctory about this, he will definitely punish him as the Prime Minister.

At the end of the meeting, Fang Zida also officially announced the appointment of Cen Chunxuan as Minister of the State Supervision Department. The department established an anti-corruption committee, an examination committee, an prevention committee and a regional committee and other institutions, with the principle of "fairness, justice and openness", and fully supervised officials at all levels to prevent corruption and the decline in government credibility, so as to build a clean and efficient official group.

This appointment was like a bomb, making all the members of the cabinet dizzy. Everyone looked at each other, and no one could speak. Moreover, no one was dissatisfied in this vote, but they still voted in favor and got all the members of the cabinet.

In this regard, the Ministry of State Supervision was officially established. Although this department did not belong to the cabinet ministries, it was directly responsible to the State Council and had the right to supervise the ministries. Moreover, the first minister, Cen Chunxuan, was famous. He had been very angry in the Qing Dynasty and had the reputation of being a slaughter. After the establishment of the Republic of China, with Fang Zida's recommendation, Cen Chunxuan also held supervisory duties in developed areas of the southeast coast, which enabled the central government to promote encouragement and develop industry and commerce while maintaining the integrity and efficiency of local governments. Fang Zida always remembered his contribution. This time, Fang Zida's intention was very obvious, that is, to use this knife to thoroughly establish the supervision and restraint system of governments at all levels in the country.

At the end of the meeting, Fang Zida kept Cen Chunxuan talking for nearly an hour. It was not until Cen Chunxuan left with excitement that he quietly left from the side door of the State Council Office under the arrangement of Yang Yongtai. Half an hour later, Fang Zida boarded the specially-hung carriage at the railway station through a confidential passage. He left the capital without knowing it and headed southwest.

The next day, the train entered Shanxi. Fang Zida did not get off the train when he arrived in Tai*yuan. Yang Yongtai had already arranged it. Fang Zida and his guard's carriage were transferred to the front and left in Tai*yuan. On the third day, the train left Shanxi and arrived in Shaanxi. Fang Zida had just finished lunch that day, and Yang Yongtai came to report that they would arrive at their destination Yulin in another hour.

"So fast? I thought I had to sit for another night." Fang Zida looked out the car window with some surprise. As the train drove, the yellow soil outside the window swept back quickly.

"This is all the wisdom of the Prime Minister. With your support from you over the years, the Ministry of Transport's railway construction has been a long way to go. To be honest, in a few years, it will not only take a few days of train from Beijing to Yulin, but also have to transfer stations and change trains in the middle. There is no need to mention the troubles. Now it is much better. Apart from being transferred in Tai*yuan, it is basically smooth all the way." Yang Yongtai said with a smile, handing the white towel in his hand to Fang Zida.

Nodding his head to express his gratitude, took the towel and wiped it, Fang Zida also smiled and said, "This is not bad. It seems that the Ministry of Transport is doing a good job, and it is not in vain that I will allocate so much money every year..."
