The Imperial Central Cabinet Government in 1912 had only one goal, which was to strive to turn China into the world's largest debtor country. If the country wants to develop, it would not work without capital support. //Baidu search View the latest chapter//
If you want to obtain international capital, borrowing debt is always the easiest and most direct way, but for any country, actively developing foreign export business is the real first choice for national economic development.
Although Germany is very dissatisfied with the signing of a military mutual assistance agreement between China and Russia and France, Germany also lacks the means to counter the trade. Although Germany is the largest seller of soybeans in China and also the largest importer in China, it is interdependent.
Very strong.
It is a good thing that Germany has no further measures, but Song Biao must consider another thing, that is, once the outbreak of World War I, Germany's trade with China will be completely stopped, and it is impossible to import machinery and equipment and electrical appliances from Germany, nor can it be
Export soybeans, tea and raw silk to Germany.
History has only two years left for Song Biao.
It was under this urgent situation that after signing the "Mutual Assistance Agreement on the Three Mutual Assistance between China, France and Russia", Song Biao personally set out south to Shanghai.
The two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong used to visit Jiangnan and how many times they went to the world.
The Emperor of Song Dynasty traveled to Jiangnan this time with the same momentum. After the Xinhai War, the worship of the emperor had reached an unattractive point. In the eyes of almost all Chinese people, the emperor was tantamount to the point where he was enlightened and enlightened. With the emperor there,
The whole country and the rejuvenation of China are just around the corner. It is precisely because of such a strong public opinion. The cabinet government also attached great importance to the emperor's trip to Jiangnan. As early as last year, when Song Biao decided to go south, he began to do a lot of preparations.
.
Due to the restrictions of the railway, Song Biao directly took the auxiliary cruiser Liaohe and arrived in Shanghai under the escort of the navy's warship.
Shanghai.
How brilliant was Shanghai in the early 20th century? The most brilliant was in the 1930s. It was the golden years of Shanghai.
However, this year's Shanghai is a bit depressed and tragic. Everyone was crazy about the rubber storm at this time last year, and now everyone is sad people on the road.
The pillar of Shanghai's financial industry is money shops. There are more than a hundred Shanghai money shops that went bankrupt during the rubber storm. Yuan Fengrun and Yishanyuan, known as the two major financial pillars in the late Qing Dynasty, also fell, causing money shops across the country to lose tens of millions of taels.
Silver led to the most tragic Great Depression in China's financial history. It was not until the Far East Bank returned to Shanghai to operate that it was not until its strong strength and its involvement in foreign banks that China gradually got rid of this financial crisis.
Song Biao came to Shanghai under such a background, and his purpose of this trip was to trade in China's raw silk and tea.
In mid-1911, China's largest export items were soybeans, coal, raw silk, sugar, textiles, tea, soybeans, mainly Northeast soybeans, with a total export volume of 2.234 million tons last year, accounting for 2/3 of the international market, and the annual foreign trade volume was 2/3 of the total amount of foreign trade.
55.87 million pounds. It mainly supplies Germany, France, Britain, the United States and other countries. Germany's total imports account for half of China's total exports.
As for how much money Germany has to earn after purchasing Northeast soybeans for oil processing, it is really unknown.
Considering that the German import market may be interrupted at any time, in the past two years, the Northeast has begun to build a large-scale oil and grease industry, introduce small and medium-sized foreign-invested enterprises from Germany, the United States and other countries, and at the same time, it increases the purchase of equipment from Germany and the United Kingdom on a large scale, trying to improve the entire industry.
But at this stage, let alone cannot compete with the German oil and fat industry. Even the United States and France are far inferior.
The total export volume of coal last year was 37.3 million tons and the total foreign trade volume was 10,000 pounds.
These two items are the two major fist products of the Empire. The third one is raw silk, which was exported last year by 4,192 tons, with low-priced tussah silk accounting for half of the total export volume, with only 4.727 million pounds and only coal exports
10% of the sugar exports were 1.04 million tons, with a total price of 4.51 million pounds.
Soybeans, coal, raw silk and sugar are the four major pieces. The total export of textiles barely reaches a £1 million, while the once brilliant tea exports did not even reach a £1 million. As for steel, hardware, cement, wood,
The export of glass, camphor, flax, sesame, fur, porcelain, wrapping paper, pencil, kerosene lamp, straw hat, milk powder, etc. are all minor items, which is also related to China's current industrial level.
So, this is a very crazy era, completely breaking through the conventional understanding of the 21st century. In fact, the abnormality of the soybean oil industry is completely a special stage in these thirty years, and it is accompanied by the rise of the German oil industry.
Just like oil rose to $300 per barrel.
After World War II, with the comprehensive rise of the petrochemical industry, soybeans and coal were completely destroyed, and they were no match for the petrochemical industry at all. Even silk was declining from the petrochemical industry.
It seems that there is a certain number in the dark. China's destiny is completely lost in the mid-20th century when the United States began to dominate the world.
Apart from the Pacific Ocean, China and the United States seem to be their natural mortal enemies.
The soybean industry has already made arrangements, and Song Biao doesn’t have to worry about the development of the coal industry for the time being.
The world raw silk market has an annual trade volume of nearly 15 million pounds, and the associated textile industry is larger, while the world tea market continues to maintain a trade volume of 30 million pounds per year, but China, the tea kingdom, was completely out of the box.
That's it.
In fact, compared with these two fields, the scale of the sugar industry is even larger.
These are ways China can work hard. The reason why Song Biao pays more attention to raw silk and tea is more related to the dignity and symbol of the country and its damage to the Japanese economy.
After arriving in Shanghai, Song Biao and his wife Shu Xuan moved into Yuyuan. Because they had planned to come to Shanghai for a long time, the General Administration of the Neijing bought some of the gardens in the western part of Yuyuan through Far East Trading Company and Yu Qiaqing. After isolation, they renovated them and renamed Dongyuyuan.
The royal property managed by the inner court was kept separately and served as the palace after the emperor arrived in Shanghai.
Because of the limited funding, the renovation of Dongyu Garden was very simple, and it could only be basically restored to its original appearance, and decorate and modify it first in the emperor's living room, study room and living room.
The French Concession and the US Concession are being changed to the Shanghai Special Administrative Region, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still selecting suitable Chinese and foreign directors. Song Biao is temporarily inconvenient to go there during this special period.
The Shanghai Hotel and the Shanghai Far East Hotel in the British Concession are both authentic hotels. Although the conditions are good, Song Biao cannot go. As the Emperor of China, he has to live in a country established by other countries in his empire territory.
There is probably nothing more humiliating than this.
From this point of view, Song Biao hates Britain very much.
There is never a lack of many absurd and unexplainable things on the world political stage. The method of using the SAR to exchange concessions proposed by the Imperial Central Cabinet Government is actually a real win-win policy. China needs this policy to attract foreign talents.
And funds, increase import and export trade, foreign countries can also get real benefits and profit from it.
The reason is this, but the UK just disagrees with the merger of the Shanghai Concession into a special zone.
Is it beneficial to the exchanges between the two sides if it has to leave a scar cut by the British Empire in the financial capital of the Chinese Empire? Or is it that the British Empire increasingly feels that it is the country above the Celestial Empire and can humiliate other countries at will?
Although Song Biao also said that this was a small matter, he knew in his heart that it would become a big matter sooner or later, and he would make Britain regret it sooner or later. One day, he would tell the British that you are just being humble and deserved.
Now it is still weak, especially the weak navy, which is not even a fishing boat in front of the British Empire. Song Biao can only endure it no matter how angry she is.
After living in Dongyu Garden, Song Biao did not meet anyone for the first two days. He just felt the winter in the south in Shanghai.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and there is no sign of snow in Shanghai this year.
Song Biao has been in the south for a long time and doesn’t know much about the south. He doesn’t know if it will snow in winter in Shanghai. It is said that it will snow occasionally!!
Yuyuan is still very good. The pure Jiangnan water town garden style is not common in the capital. It is exquisite and unique, quite novel, but a bit old. It has been repeatedly suffered from wars and destruction. Due to limited funds, the General Administration of the Inner Court failed to
All repaired.
Although I have not met outsiders for the past two days, there are many people who have followed Song Biao south together. In addition to the entourage of the Secretariat and the Secret Service, the Minister of Agriculture of the Prime Minister's Office and the Director of the Silk Tea Industry Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, Wang Shuhan, has come.
Now, Shu Fangxin is here too.
In his spare time, Song Biao also played two chess games with Chen Qimei, the young director of the secretariat. Chen Qimei's level is good, so that the two sons can tie with Song Biao. If they don't let the son, they will basically tie. The more they lose, the less they win.
Anyway, it can satisfy Song Biao.
Losing all will definitely not work, and winning will have to be a narrow victory.
Chen Qimei knew the emperor very well. The emperor never asked him to play chess for his ability, but for entertainment and leisure. Therefore, he could not make the emperor sad. It would be better to let the emperor win a small victory, and let the emperor win a big victory and see the opportunity.
So, Song Biao has really admired Chen Qimei in the past two years. After all, he is a cultural person born from the bottom. He has the means and scheming, and has education and education. He is indeed a rare talent.
That afternoon, the two of them were playing chess in the study, and Shu Fangxin watched the chess without saying a word.
When Song Biao lost one game and won two games and became addicted to chess, he decided to go out and enjoy the scenery. As soon as the agricultural minister Wang Yongjiang came to meet him.
Wang Yongjiang is a talented person. He was famous as a "wizard" when he worked in the Secretariat. His ancestral home is Shandong, born in Jinzhou, Liaoning. At the age of 20, he was the first candidate in the county examination and was selected as Yougong. He had already visited the group when he was young.
He has extraordinary talent in books.
When Song Biao was appointed as the governor of the three eastern provinces, he specially appointed Wang Yongjiang to be responsible for soybean promotion and export affairs. His political achievements were amazing and everyone was convinced. Even Song Biao, Tang Shaoyi and others were quite surprised. After the Governor's Office officially set up the Agricultural Department, Wang
Yongjiang became the first choice of the director of the Department of Agriculture.
When Tang Shaoyi formed the cabinet, many people thought that the Minister of Agriculture was just a idle position and could not compare with transportation. The Minister of Finance and other people held heavy power and could be distributed to non-party members to form a cabinet. Tang Shaoyi sided with the public opinion and elected Wang Yongjiang.
He served as Minister of Agriculture.
Although there are many seats in the cabinet minister, there are some main and deputy. The ministerial cabinet is the main cabinet minister. The General Administration and the General Administration are all deputy cabinet ministers. When Huang Xing refused to resign, he asked someone to bring a message to Song Biao.
To seek a position that is more suitable for him, the Minister of Agriculture is also the Minister of Agriculture.
Huang Xing is also a person with a very revolutionary reputation, and Song Biao is not convenient for simply shirking it. So he asked Tang Shaoyi to write a letter to express the reasons for choosing Wang Yongjiang as the Minister of Agriculture, and also said how important agriculture is to China and how big the gap between China and the United States is.
, you must use Yongjiang.
After reading this letter, Huang Xing didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, but he directly announced his withdrawal from the cabinet.
Now it is the world of the Imperial Party. The Imperial Party comes from three places, one is the Northeast Army, the second is the Governor's Office of the Three East Provinces. The third is the Restoration Association. The Imperial Party, which was born in the Secretariat, is the most direct line, and Wang Yongjiang is the one who is the one who is from the Governor's Office of the Three East Provinces.
Such a person.
The weather in the garden is slightly cold.
Song Biao was wearing a dark brown military coat and gloves, walking on the cobblestone road. Wang Yongjiang was accompanied by the cabinet minister and took a step back slightly, while Zhang Futian, Shu Fangxin, Chen Qicai and two eunuchs were
Accompany a few steps away.
Entering the quiet and dense bamboo forest, there was no wind on both sides, Song Biao sat down in a small pavilion here. At this time, the eunuchs placed two glass screens and presented tea sets. Song Biao, Wang Yongjiang, Shu Fangxin and others
Here, boil water with refined charcoal to make tea.
While waiting for the hot water to boil, Song Biao and Wang Yongjiang felt something and said: "Raw silk, tea is still very good in the long run. Although the share is not as good as soybeans and coal, international trade is like this. There are some unpredictable risks, as the old saying goes. Eggs cannot be kept in one basket, and all the work that can be done should be done well. Moreover, these two items are even more symbols of my country's revival. If you have to do raw silk and tea. Even exports cannot reach the heyday of the previous dynasty, how can the country call it liberation?”
Wang Yongjiang silently paused his head and said, "The emperor is wise and wise. It is related to the reputation and dignity of the country and the nation. Even if the amount is not as good as in the past, the ministers should do their best."
Song Biao asked him: "How many possible do you think these two things are going to return to their heyday? If they can do it, how many years will it take to work hard?"
