I really don't want to be a warlord

The murder of Huang Silang caused a sensation throughout Echeng County. What was even more sensational was that the new county magistrate actually wanted to redress their grievances and appeal the unjust case.

In the afternoon, a notice was posted at the city gate

‘All families who have been persecuted by Huang Silang, regardless of age or sex, can receive compensation from the county government once the truth is found out with proof in hand.

Once you pretend to claim it, you will be responsible for the consequences, and Huang Silang's fate will be the standard.

The right to interpret all the above content belongs to the county government.

On October 24, the fifth year of the Republic of China, a scholar was excited about the recitation, and people around him also talked about it.

‘What a great master of Qingtian’

‘My daughter was beaten to death by Huang Silang’

‘My ten acres of fertile land were occupied by Huang Silang’

‘My son has gone nowhere since he entered Huang Silang's castle. I heard he was sold to another place.’

‘Mr. Shen is actually willing to give up 300,000 yuan? My darling cow’

‘If it were me, I would steal all the money and no one would dare to say anything’

‘Master Shen is a great virtuous man, Master Qingtian, and a man who brings Buddhahood to thousands of families.

Many people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly with excitement.

Shen Hao looked at the system, preparing to draw the lottery that Meng Xiaodong revealed.

At the same time, he was confused,"System, does Meng Xiaodong count as my employee?"

【As long as they have not received a marriage certificate, all women are subordinates]

Hearing this, Shen Hao felt happy.

For a woman in this era, if you treat her slightly better, she will be loyal to you.

Since Meng Xiaodong is 100%, what about Dong Ge, Qiu Ju, Bai Xiuzhu, and Hong Girl?

Thinking of this, Shen Hao subconsciously touched his cheek and exclaimed:"My damn charm."

At night, a telegram from the Japanese embassy shocked the whole country.

Not only was the newly appointed General Chief Li Hong shocked, but the big warlords across the country were also shocked. No one expected that things would develop in such a big way.

‘Yesterday, Hideyoshi Shenmitsu, Commander-in-Chief of the Route Army of our 18th Division stationed in the Qing Peninsula, and Minister-General Toyotomi Sakata were assassinated in the early hours of yesterday morning and died after ineffective rescue efforts.

God is angry! My great Japanese pirate country is furious! All the people of the Japanese pirate empire were furious.

This is a provocation to us by returning home.

According to reliable information, the person who paid for the murder is Shen Hao, the new commander of the 28th Xiangxi Division of your country.

Pay 1.8 million oceans to bribe the assassin.

On behalf of the gods and the Great Japanese Empire, our embassy makes a serious warning:

According to our"Laws of the Great Japanese Empire", anyone who assassinates the commander of the country's garrison and public history has violated the laws of our Great Japanese Empire.

We now order your country to immediately hand over the murderer Shen Hao and compensate us for all economic losses. The general leader personally apologizes publicly.

If not, our great Japanese pirate empire will launch a self-defense counterattack against your country.

Immediately send troops to western Hunan to capture the murderer in person. I hope your country will have difficulty in establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries and things will go to a dead end.

The Great Japanese Pirate Empire's Residence in the Republic of China

October 25, 1916, the fifth year of the Republic of China.

Li Hong, the trusted leader who had been very busy these days, looked at the warning on the telegram and his eyes widened.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. What the hell, the commander of the 18th Division stationed in the Ao Peninsula, Army Lieutenant General Kamiko Hideyoshi, and Minister Osaka Sakata Toyotomi were all killed?

At first, I felt a little weird.

In the past few days, he had been busy competing with Duan Qirui, who was directly affiliated with Feng Yuxiang and the Anhui faction, for the position of overall leader. He didn't even pay attention to the situation outside, and thought that something suddenly happened.

Subconsciously he looked at the secretary and deputy chief Jin Quan next to him. The incredible look in his eyes made it self-evident. Is this true?

Jin Quan also woke up from the shock at this time and nodded.

Li Hong couldn't help but gasped:"My dear, are you going to break the sky? Is Shen Hao crazy? Spend 1.8 million oceans, so much money to buy a human head."

Beside him, Jin Quan, who had just been promoted to vice president, , and then he smiled bitterly and said:"Since this man appeared in the capital, he has been a crazy person. He is known as a spendthrift and has spent countless amounts of money along the way.

In this short period of one month, according to my rough estimate, there are probably at least four people. One million oceans."

Li Hong was stunned when he heard the news, and his scalp was numb:"Four million oceans? My dear, where did this brat get his money? Four million oceans, are you sure he has such a lot of money? Spending so much money in one month?

The annual budget for the entire palace of the Republic of China is only 4 million yuan. He spends so much money alone in just one month."

Jin Quan also nodded helplessly, and you can imagine the shock in his heart. , I dared to go to his door with a painting of Tang Bohu, and finally I was offered the position of Echeng County Magistrate. I didn’t expect that in less than a month, he became the commander of the 28th Division of Xiangxi. Not to mention, he also made such a great achievement. disaster.

When he heard that the Japanese garrison commander and minister had been killed, he rushed over.

After roughly doing some calculations, I was shocked. I found out that the annual fee allocated by the Republic of China government to the little emperor Pu Yi was 4 million yuan.

The total expenses of the eunuchs, the emperor, the concubines, the maids, and the princes and ministers in the palace are not as much as a person's consumption in a month. Think about what a shocking figure this is.

Jin Quan is not only the vice president, but also a part-time financial director, so he understands the meaning of this number even more.

The two years from 1912 to 1913 were the most difficult period for Yuan Datou's finances. At this time, when the Yuan clan was first established, the political situation was turbulent. As each province became independent, payments to the provinces, which were the main source of Zhongyang's income, were basically interrupted.

In October 1913, he had just become the step commander of Caizheng and reported to deputy chief Li Yuanhong. He still remembers that report very clearly.

："In the former Qing Dynasty, each province had a fixed annual quota for the central government's funds. Due to the reform of the state system, the settlement of funds came to a halt. Although the headquarters repeatedly called for reminders, the amount of money for settlement was very little.

In total, from the first year of the Republic of China to the present, the settlement funds collected from Qi, Henan, Hunan, Guangdong and other provinces are no more than���"More than 1.6 million yuan, just a drop in salary, can't help the hardship."

2.6 million yuan can't be imagined. How poor it is. This mere payment was not even enough to cover the one-month administrative expenses of the Datou Palace of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the past few years Not only does it have to compensate foreign countries as much as 11 million pounds, but it also has to rely on debts and loans to survive.

According to the announced budget for 1916, Zhongyang's annual income is more than 315.78 million yuan. It seems like a lot, but what about its annual expenditure of 31517? More than 10,000 yuan, which is about 600,000 yuan in surplus after income and expenditure.

The balance of a centralized government is less than the monthly expenses of a warlord. You can only realize how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are when you become a family.

, one can imagine the sadness and shock in the hearts of big guys like Jin Quan and Li Hong.
