Chapter 162 There is another group of people
"It's true that being at home is good for a thousand days, but being outside is difficult, and you need help with everything."
Ma Leizi said somewhat unhappily, it's nothing more than a military organization. Can't we live without it?
Li Shaoyi knew that his subordinates were unhappy, but he had no way to explain to them. Could it be that I have a staffing system that he would not recognize if the official did not?
Even if he said it out loud, I guess few of the people present would believe it.
"Alright, alright, asking for help is normal. Look at the people walking back and forth in this corridor. The lowest-ranking ones are about the same as me. What did we do before? We used to carry heavy bags at the train station. Coming here shows you that there are always people better than you. This means our trip was worthwhile."
Li Shaoyi also felt that several of his brothers had become a little arrogant recently. He wanted to let these guys see the officials in Nanjing and realize how big our country is. We are really insignificant in the entire National Government.
After listening to Li Shaoyi's words, the brothers nodded. They originally thought they had made it big, but they didn't expect that there were so many officials in Jinling, and even our eldest brother was at the bottom here.
"Commissioner Li, this meal costs a total of one hundred and four dollars, which has already been added to your room charge. You can pay the bill together when you leave. You've almost finished your drinks now, so please wait for me at the door."
Manager Cai came all the way to greet Li Shaoyi. He had done this many times before. Even some young masters in Jinling City would not easily offend a hotel manager like him.
Although he is a service staff, you have to consider where he is. If he spreads some rumors about you, although it may not cause much substantial harm, it will be disgusting and unbearable.
What's more, some people also have to ask Manager Cai for help, so in this small piece of land, few people will not give him face.
At the same time, in another box, people were also discussing matters concerning Jidong.
"Commissioner Matt, I'm leaving this matter to you. We brothers have been in Nanjing for quite some time now, and now that we've finally recovered, the central government should demonstrate its capabilities. How can we let that guy have the final say? As long as we brothers can return to Peking, this is just a small amount."
A middle-aged man in his forties patted the box next to him, which contained a silver note worth 100,000 yuan.
Even in Nanjing, 100,000 silver dollars is not a small amount. Moreover, they had spent a lot of money on this matter several times before. If they could really return to the north, they would have to collect 100,000 silver dollars.
"Commissioner Sun, I can't guarantee you anything about this. I can only say that the higher-ups are hesitating. You're all former Party and government officials, and you know that the Party and government must be more thoughtful when doing certain things. They can't just act on impulse. This Li Shaoyi is no ordinary person. He's very popular among the local people, and he knows how to use newspapers. This is going to be difficult!"
Agent Matt, who was sitting in the middle of the round table, was picking his teeth while saying that the box hadn't been opened yet, but he knew the approximate number inside and it was obviously not enough.
This Commissioner Sun was none other than the Commissioner of Tongzhou Special District.
Later, when the autonomous government was established, these former officials of the Nanjing National Government were directly expelled by the Japanese, so they stayed in Nanjing, hoping that the National Government could give them new arrangements.
But the problem is that positions are so limited, and if no one retires, how can we arrange for you guys to be employed? So the only option is to keep delaying it.
Now that Li Shaoyi has taken back these six counties, these people are like cats that have smelled blood. They start jumping around in Jinling and are determined to get the letter of appointment from Jinling, as if those counties were their own homes.
"The Special Envoy is right. We understand this isn't going to be easy, but staying in Nanjing forever isn't a good idea. When we went to Pujiang a few days ago, we were thinking of just being a fool in the Pujiang Concession. But the brothers are still in their prime and want to do something for the Party and the country. These house deeds were bought in Pujiang. We must be determined to return to Peking. I'll hand this house over to the Special Envoy first..."
Sun Zhongyue took out a few more property deeds from his briefcase. The houses in Pujiang were different from those in Beijing. A small courtyard house in Beijing only cost a few hundred dollars.
But the villas in the French Concession are different, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. In this case, it is obvious that the special envoy does not have enough money, so we have to be willing to spend money.
The special envoy glanced at the property deeds and found that they were all houses in good places. His expression changed immediately. He knew that these officials from the north were rich and had sold many properties in the north in order to get back their original official positions. If it was only tens of thousands of dollars, he would do the job for them. But the official positions were too worthless.
"Everyone, rest assured. The central government has already stated the separation of military and political power more than once or twice. Even the newly returned Jidong Special District must comply with this regulation. I, Ma, have been entrusted by the Party and the country to manage the affairs here. Once I have communicated with the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, this should not be difficult. Just wait for good news. However, there are also some officials in the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs..."
After Agent Matt collected enough money, he started to make promises. As for the money from the military and political officials, it seemed that he would also have to collect it first. These people are just greedy.
Sun Zhongyue and the others looked at each other in embarrassment, but thinking about their future prospects, if they didn't spend money now, the money they had spent before would be gone. They had to find a way to mortgage the land in their hometown to feed all these people. After taking office, they would squeeze the land as much as possible.
On the other hand, Li Shaoyi originally thought that this young and energetic young man from aristocratic family would be the second generation who would not care about anything, but he did not expect that after listening to what Manager Cai said, he hurried out to greet him.
"Commander Li, it's really Commander Li..."
Although Wu Zhenkui reeked of alcohol, he quickly straightened his military uniform and saluted Li Shaoyi. There were other people drinking in the room. After hearing about this, some of them knew Li Shaoyi, while others did not, but they all came over with smiles on their faces.
Li Shaoyi glanced at the situation in the room. Most of the people were yellow, except for Secretary Wu, who was very green. It seemed that there should be no problem for us to get a military organization. It seemed that most people in this era were still fighting against the Japanese.
