Chapter 281: Strong Promotion, Leisurely and Contented
"This is the trend of the times! It is far beyond the ability of ordinary people to resist! Don't be scared and shrink back because of a little insignificant difficulty!" Fang Yu stared at the other person with his sharp eyes like an eagle, as if he wanted to see through the other person's eyes to the depths of his heart.
Every word that came out of his mouth struck the other person's heartstrings like a heavy hammer, and the deep meaning contained in it was self-evident.
What he wanted to express was very clear: the matter was settled and there was no room for maneuver.
And it must be implemented immediately and vigorously at the fastest speed and efficiency.
Right now, it is time for you local government officials to lobby and push forward with all your might and without any effort.
At such a crucial moment, you actually dare to openly sing a different tune. Isn't this obviously asking for trouble and getting yourself into trouble?
"Yes... yes, Chairman Fang! You're right! We will fully support the issuance of the new currency and unwaveringly uphold the wise decisions and instructions of our superiors!"
The person in charge of Zhili Province only felt a sudden chill on his back, and his heart instantly rose to his throat and started beating wildly.
Faced with such a strong and unquestionable Fang Yu, how could he dare to have any different opinions?
At this moment, all he felt was fear and absolute obedience.
In response to this, Fang Yu just frowned slightly and did not show too much dissatisfaction or intention to pursue the matter.
He paused for a moment and quickly changed the subject, as if the previous incident had never happened.
He said solemnly, "The issuance of this new currency is a major undertaking. At the same time, all old coins and notes, including the silver dollars that were once widely circulated, will be completely invalidated from now on and will no longer be used in any form of transaction."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other with astonishment on their faces.
However, Fang Yu didn't give them much time to react, and immediately added, "Of course, the government won't take coercive measures to require everyone to exchange their belongings immediately. If anyone is secretly hiding gold bars, silver, or early silver dollars, and is worried that these properties will depreciate due to the implementation of the new currency, or if they are not optimistic about the new currency's short-term trend, then they can choose to keep them for themselves. However, it should be noted that from now on, these things can no longer be used as normal trading currencies as before!"
These words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar among the crowd.
Many people's hearts sank suddenly, and a feeling of unease quickly spread.
At this point, they finally deeply understood the Marshal's firm determination and tough attitude towards this matter.
After all, if the currency cannot be unified, then all fields, including politics, business, industry, agriculture, etc., will find it difficult to operate smoothly.
As the saying goes, a serious illness requires strong medicine. Now we are in such a special period. If we want to quickly reverse the current unfavorable situation, I am afraid we have to adopt such a decisive and resolute strategy.
Just as everyone was still immersed in shock and hadn't recovered, Fang Yu spoke again, breaking the silence: "Also, starting this month, the military and political departments will take the lead in implementing this new policy. From now on, all military salaries and wages will be paid out in a new currency!"
After saying that, he waved his hands vigorously, as if to cut off all hesitation and delay.
With his action, the atmosphere in the entire conference room instantly became tense.
Finally, Fang Yu swept his gaze across the room and delivered his closing remarks in an unassailable tone: "I've explained everything about the new currency issuance to you all. As for how to properly arrange the various tasks and how to appease and guide the grassroots, those are issues you each need to consider and resolve."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and sat down, leaving the group of people looking at each other, secretly thinking about the many challenges they would face next.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, sunlight shone through the window onto the desk, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.
Zhang Ye, who had just enjoyed a delicious lunch, was now sitting leisurely in a comfortable office chair, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.
Ever since he put down the heavy burden of work, his life has suddenly become easy and comfortable.
The days of being overwhelmed by work and busy all day are gradually fading away.
Now he has plenty of time every day and can do whatever he wants to do but couldn't due to being busy.
Although his current status is still some distance away from becoming a true "hands-off boss", compared with the day and night work and hard work in the past, this relatively relaxed and free pace of life undoubtedly makes him feel extremely satisfied.
"General, the weather is so nice, why don't you go out and play?" A voice came from outside the door, and Lu Shan came holding a wooden tray with a pile of freshly washed sweet potatoes on it, and greeted with a smile.
After hearing the voice, Zhang Ye slowly turned his head.
His movements seemed a little slow, as if his whole body was shrouded in an invisible fatigue.
After seeing that the person coming was Lu Shan, he replied in an extremely lazy tone: "Alas, there is nothing fun to do here. When we can capture Guangzhou, it would be a good choice to spend the winter there. At least it won't be cold."
After hearing what Zhang Ye said, Lu Shan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, you can't spread this, otherwise it will scare the national army to death."
As he spoke, Lu Shan walked nimbly to the fire and expertly opened the heavy iron cover above it.
Accompanied by a slight "creaking" sound, the blazing flames in the furnace immediately burst out, emitting waves of heat and dazzling light.
Lu Shan carefully put the sweet potatoes into the oven one by one, trying his best to prevent them from colliding with each other or being squeezed and deformed.
After completing this step, he gently brushed off the dust on his hands and reached into his pocket.
Not long after, Lu Shan pulled out a neatly folded document from his pocket. He quickly walked over to Zhang Ye, handed it to him, and said, "Marshal, this is news from the Intelligence Department. There's some movement in Sakura Country. They're still not giving up on the Qindao incident."
"What a bunch of cowards, too afraid to fight, too afraid to come, and unable to even comprehend international public opinion. They are truly useless to the extreme."
Zhang Ye's words were full of contempt. He didn't even look at the information and threw it directly into the fire.
He had never had a good impression of those dwarfs in the first place, and he always adhered to the principle of avoiding quarrels if he could fight, and was always looking for an opportunity to start a fight.
As it turned out, those beasts were too timid. After clamoring for so long, they didn't even have the courage to land.
