No Money, No Deal!
Another 100 million yuan, Zhang Kuang was instantly shocked!
He looked at Zhang Xuemin in shock!
His heart was in turmoil. Had he been gone for too long, or had the world changed? It was only the 20s and 30s, but money was actually in the hundreds of millions. This…Did he consider the feelings of the poor?
Jin Ling City's government had just been established, and it was so poor that it was almost like pants. It was not supported by a large-scale industrial base like the northeast, so it could only rely on plundering the people's wealth and issuing exorbitant taxes to make money. However, the people were also very poor, not to mention that the taxes had been collected by Wu Pei Fu, Duan Qi Rui, Xu Shu Zheng, and the other bastard warlords for decades!
The money he had earned from the Kong family, the Song family, and the Qing gang had all been used by the principal to subsidize Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang's military expenses. Otherwise, why would the two of them form the Northern Expedition Army and attack Zhang Zuolin?
So, Jin Ling City's government was really out of money, but Zhang Xuemin just asked for 100 million yuan!
"Chief…Chief…Chief Commander, are you serious?”Zhang Kuang was so scared that he couldn't even speak, stuttering!
"What else can I do? I have hundreds of thousands of people here to play with you?”
Zhang Xuemin rolled his eyes in displeasure." 100 million yuan in cash. I'll immediately remove the five-colored flag and replace it with a blue sky and white sun flag. I'll also hang a few portraits of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. Or a portrait of the principal. Anyway, I'll pay you!"”
If the Jin Ling city government really transferred 100 million yuan over, he would even be willing to hang erotic pictures in his room!
Zhang Kuang was shocked. 100 million, and it was in cash. Even if the Jin Ling city government took out all their money, they wouldn't be able to take it out. He said resentfully,""Commander-in-chief Zhang, changing the banner of the northeast and promoting the unification of the country is a great national and patriotic feat. Our country has been ravaged by war, and the people can't stand the suffering. We can't fight anymore.”
"Don't talk nonsense. If you don't have money, there's no need to talk about anything!”
Zhang Xuemin curled his lips in disdain. National justice and patriotic feats were very important, but following the principal didn't mean that they cared about national justice and patriotic feats. After all, Jin Ling city was not a good thing!
They were essentially warlords!
In history, after Zhang Xueliang changed his allegiance, the principal encouraged him to fight with the Bear Country and said that as long as they fought, Jin Ling City would follow. In the end, Zhang Xueliang was beaten so badly that his mother could not even recognize him, and Jin Ling City did not even send out a single soldier!
From the beginning to the end, it was a conspiracy to reduce the strength of the Northeast Army!
After all, although Zhang Xueliang had announced that he would change his allegiance and listen to the orders of the Jin Ling City government, he was still in charge of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northeast Army. There were actually more subordinates than the army under the boss. Naturally, he had to find a way to deal with them!
Therefore, Zhang Xuemin's attitude was very simple. If he wanted to change the Northeast, he would pay first and talk about the rest later!
" This…" Zhang Kuang didn't expect Zhang Xuemin to be so stubborn. He was in a dilemma. After all, he was just a representative, and the final decision was up to the principal." I'll send a telegram to the principal and see what he thinks!"”
"Of course!"
Xuemin smiled and nodded."Xishun, bring Minister Zhang to the State Guesthouse to have a good rest. Serve him good food and wine. Oh, don't forget to collect the money. 10 yuan a day in cash. Just pay it all at the end. Minister Zhang is here on behalf of the Jin Ling city government. He won't take advantage of us, nor will he run away!”
Zhang Kuang, who had just stood up from the sofa, almost fell down again. He had never heard of anyone paying to stay in a state guesthouse. 10 yuan a day was too cheap!
Zhang Xuemin didn't want this to happen either, but the northeast had just been developed and expanded, and money was needed everywhere. Even Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Zhang Jinghui had taken the initiative to donate all or half of their assets to support the government's decree. It was normal for the state guesthouse to charge fees!
After sending Zhang Kuang off, Zhao Xishun walked in and handed Zhang Xuemin a document!
"Commander-in-chief, this is the total assets of the marshal's mansion. It includes houses, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, all kinds of items, bank deposits, cash, and so on.”
It seemed that Zhang Zuolin was worthy of being the king of the northeast for so many years. In terms of personal assets, he had more than Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Zhang Jinghui combined. Most of them were real estate, including villas and shops in Fengtian and other places!
" Beiling Villa…"
When Zhang Xuemin saw the list of properties, he narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, this was the property that Zhang Xueliang had bought to support his mistress, the fourth daughter of the Zhao family. After he was killed in the explosion, it naturally belonged to Zhang Xuemin!
Zhao Si's real name was Zhao Yidi, and she was only 17 years old this year. When she was with Zhang Xueliang, she was only 16 years old, so she probably hadn't grown up yet!
" What a beast, he wouldn't even let a 16-year-old girl go…What a beast…" Zhang Xuemin muttered softly!
"Commander-in-chief, what are you mumbling about?”
"Oh, it's nothing. Xishun, if there's no one living in the property other than the Marshal's Mansion, we'll take it back, especially that Beiling Villa.”
Zhao Xishun's face immediately revealed a troubled expression. He hesitated and said,"Commander-in-chief, the person living in the Beiling Villa is Fourth Miss Zhao. She's your brother's…woman!”
"I know, but the northeast is currently in financial crisis. I can't afford to keep idle people. Let her move to the marshal's residence and be responsible for taking care of my daily life!”Zhang Xuemin said calmly.
