While rectifying finance, Wang Maoru ordered the Chief Financial Officer Pan Fu and Deputy Chief Fang Hongxin to reform tariffs, and sent the Deputy Chief Financial Officer Fang Hongxin as the head of the tariff negotiation team to propose to the Bank of Four to increase the tariff limit, recover the right to tariffs for some goods, and change the annual payment of tariffs to monthly payments. The minimum line is half a year and the payback shall not be postponed to the central government under any excuse.

The change of the tariff delivery time was naturally rejected by American and British banks such as Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank. However, Fang Hongxin, as a representative of the central finance and familiar with foreign laws, sued Citibank and other four banks in the Hague National Court for embezzling Chinese customs duties and requested the Hague International Court of Justice to send an investigative officer to investigate the accounts of the Four Banks.

If the investigation is really done, all the matters of the Four Banks will be exposed. Not only is the money loss problem. If the scandal is exposed, the credibility of the four banks will be ruined, and it will even lead to the four banks' slump from then on.

The giants of the Bank of Four were panicked and warned the Chinese government on the one hand to ask for help from the domestic government, while on the other hand, and convinced the soft and took the initiative to invite Fang Hongxin to ask for another talk.

Fang Hongxin caught their weaknesses. After many negotiations, the Bank of Siguo finally agreed to pay the tariffs for half a year and no longer stayed. The most important thing is that the Chinese government can send officials to inquire and record records. Although it does not interfere with the flow of tariffs, there is no doubt that this gave the Bank of Siguo a shackle. This trick was the eunuch supervision system in the Ming Dynasty. Chinese people were familiar with it, but when modern people used it, they always thought they were inferior and did not dare to monitor foreign men.

The negotiations finally made a small part of the progress. Fang Hongxin also knew that it was impossible to recover the tariffs at once, so he also accepted the tariffs as soon as possible and immediately recovered the six million ocean tariffs in the first half of the nine years of the Republic of China. This move set a record for many firsts in the Republic of China. The first time he gained an advantage in tariff negotiations, the first time he used international law to resolve disputes, and the first time he felt the power of a unified country.

Yes, the victory of the fight to recover tariffs was the unyielding struggle of Fang Hongxin and others on the surface, but the actual reason was that the gradual unification of the country made the Bank of Siguo feel the pressure. Military unification is not scary, and the unity of finance and finance and taxation is what they feared. The settlement and promotion of RMB have greatly affected the loan business of Siguo Bank. Once the RMB depreciates, Siguo Bank will suffer great losses.

After learning that the central government recovered the tariffs of 6 million oceans, the first one to ask for money was not the army, but the royal family. It was originally from the royal family. It was originally the generous terms of the Qing royal family formulated by Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen in the early years of the Republic of China. The generous treatment did not change in the first few years. After Yuan Shikai's death, no one had enough money, whether it was Li Yuanhong as president, Feng Guozhang, or even Xu Shichang. The promised four million oceans were actually less than half of the royal family, but in fact two million oceans were enough to pay the royal expenses, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs still

When he was greedy, the palace maids and eunuchs also reached out to ask for it, so that the little emperor always felt that he was not full or warm in food. However, this time, Wang Maoru refused the royal family's request and ordered the arrest of a large number of eunuchs and palace maids who reselled the Forbidden City's cultural relics, and was sent to the Western Regions for the crime of theft. These eunuchs who encouraged the royal family to ask for money were frightened. The royal family became honest. Then Wang Mao ordered a battalion of troops to closely monitor the Forbidden City, requiring that no cultural relics be taken out of the palace. These cultural relics will be state assets in the future and will never be taken out of the palace.

Afterwards, Wang Maoru and Jin Yunpeng discussed with each other and believed that it would be better to rescue the victims of the north, especially the aftermath work. The victims were not allowed to give a bowl of rice to survive today. The important thing was how to resettle their future lives. Even if they immigrate to the north and Mongolia and the Western Regions, resettle immigrants would cost a lot of money. Just like these six million oceans solved the urgent problem.

Soon after, the Deputy Finance Minister Fang Hongxin announced that all 6 million tariffs were used for disaster relief funds in the north. At the same time, Wang Maoru, the new general commander of the National Defense Forces, will hold a charitable donation event in Beijing and actively donate 200,000 yuan. Other sectors have also donated generously and raised 1.2 million silver dollars in charity funds.

Unexpectedly, the main force of donating this time was not the landlords and gentry, but famous Peking Opera artists from all over the country. Among them, Shanghai Peking Opera artist Zhou Xinfang rushed from Shanghai to Beijing and donated 50,000 yuan. After donating, he didn't have a penny on his body. He joked that he performed in Beijing for three shows and raised the travel expenses to return to Shanghai.

After Wang Maoru learned that famous Peking Opera artists from all walks of life had to provide disaster relief, he immediately ordered them to perform charity in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, with Zhou Xinfang's finale, which caused a sensation across the country. People from all walks of life went to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing to listen to operas. Even the young emperor of the previous dynasty couldn't help but run over to listen to operas. Zhou Xinfang became the number one actor in China at the age of 35. After Zhou Xinfang performed three finale dramas in the Temple of Heaven, she became famous all over the world and established the title of No. 1 artist in one fell swoop.

Others all regretted why they were so stingy at the time. If they were to learn from Zhou Xinfang, wouldn’t they win both fame and fortune? In fact, Zhou Xinfang really didn’t seek fame and reputation. He really donated all of them, and he really thought about the victims. This is a good person who has good rewards.

Amid the sound of fundraising for disaster relief, President Xu Shichang announced the appointment of Wang Maoru as the chief of the army and officially announced the letter of appointment. Wang Maoru and the army simply announced the appointment and held a small-scale inauguration ceremony. As soon as the inauguration ceremony ended, Wang Maoru turned on the radio and heard the news from the radio that the Chinese football team defeated the Japanese team and won the official army of the Far East Games. He was shocked and thought to himself that Chinese football was still the Far East champion? He quickly called the Minister of Internal Affairs Tian Wenlie and asked him about the Chinese football team. Tian Wenlie didn't know about this and said that the future would be the answer.

The next day, Tian Wenlie really got the answer. It turned out that the Chinese football team representing China was not the official football team sent by China, but the football team organized by the non-government. The main people were from Shanghai and Hong Kong. Although Hong Kong was occupied by the UK at that time and Shanghai divided up for various countries, Shanghai and Hong Kong people always believed that they represented China. At that time, Japan organized the Far East Games, and the Chinese Sports Promotion Association (National Organization) selected a group of Chinese football elites and raised funds to compete in Japan. From the first year of the Republic of China to the present, it has held four sessions. In addition to the first session, the Chinese team has won three consecutive championships because it was just formed to win the runner-up. However, Tian Wenlie obviously was not concerned about Raoshizi football. He was concerned about whether the reform of the whole country's affairs would continue after Wang Maoru took office as the chief of the army. If so, where should the warlords of all sizes go?

Wang Maoru didn't hear a word and ordered: "I'm sorry, General Tian, ​​if the Chinese football team returns to China, I want to see them."

A month later, Tian Wenlie told Wang Maoru that the Chinese football team learned that Wang Maoru wanted to see them, so they arrived directly from Manila, Philippines to Hong Kong, and then went north to Beijing. Wang Maoru was very excited. He took his men to visit the football team, but saw that the football team lived in a big car shop outside Beijing to save money. It was the kind of big car shop where a big kang slept with more than a dozen or twenty people at a glance. When Wang Maoru arrived, the owner of the big car shop was frightened. The team leader was the team leader Chen Yan and the deputy captain Xu Minhui. Qiu Jixiang also did not expect to see Wang Maoru in this situation. Seeing the Chinese football team

The team's life was so simple, Wang Maoru sighed and said, "Even if you are someone like you who are willing to endure hardships and want to win glory for the country, they are respected in Asia." After that, he saluted the eighteen players. Afterwards, he ordered the reward of 5,000 silver dollars for each football player, and officially announced that this football team was the official football team, and took them to the State Council for formal appointment. Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng was amused and cried, thinking that what happened? You, a dignified army chief, are concerned about what football came, so he issued a formal appointment letter to these eighteen people and appointed them to officially serve as members of the Chinese football team.

However, it has become a difficult point for which department this football player belongs to. The ten departments under the State Council are the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Army, the Ministry of Navy, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Which department is in charge of sports?

Wang Maoru said that the Navy Department has been incorporated into the National Defense Forces and became the Coast Guard of the National Defense Forces. The ten central ministries are already nine, so it is better to add a sports department. Jin Yunpeng said that the addition of the sports department must be drafted by the parliament. Wang Maoru said that there is no parliament now, so if you increase it, you should increase it. In the future, the money will be paid by the National Defense Forces. Seeing that Wang Maoru was so stubborn and did not want to argue with him, Jin Yunpeng ordered the addition of the Sports Department in the Republic of China, and the first Minister of Sports will be Wang Maoru. No one competed with Wang Maoru for the position of the chief of the Sports Department. These are all the gods and horse departments, and the power in his hands will not increase at all.

Afterwards, Wang Maoru paid out of his own pocket to build a stadium with an capacity of 20,000 people outside the south city of Beijing, and built eight training grounds and a large-scale office building with fitness, dormitory, canteen and medical care, saying that it was the home stadium for the Chinese football team. Chen Yan and others have always found a place for competitions and training. Most of the home stadiums are school stadiums, and there is no special stadium for home stadiums. When the stadium was built, Chen Yan and others even cried excitedly.

After the stadium was completed, Chen Yan and others gave the naming power to Wang Maoru. After thinking, Wang Maoru believed that the Chinese nation has been leading the world for 5,000 years, but it has only lagged behind the world for nearly a hundred years. That is because the dragon of China is tired and resting, but now the dragon of China is about to rise again and lead the world again, so he named the stadium Tenglong Stadium. Some people suggested that it is better to establish a professional football club, but Chen Yan and others immediately said that professional teams are prohibited from participating in sports meetings in various countries. If a professional football club is established, I am afraid that the Chinese team will not be able to participate in the competition in the future, so the suggestion was abolished.
Chapter completed!
