A high-level meeting of the Qing Dynasty in Jingshan Qiwang Tower began with the discussion of the assassination of Emperor Tongzhi, and was interspersed with the tragic case of Shen Tailang being beaten to death. Finally, Cixi and Hu Bu disrupted the situation.
In the end, this meeting actually turned into a unified action by the Manchu and Qing court to put pressure on Xiao Letian. Cixi, Yi, Yixuan, and Qingliu leader Weng Tonghe, together with more than a dozen important court officials, collectively put pressure on Third Master Qing. , first show it with emotion and move it with reason, and then accumulate secret threats in words.
How could Qing Sanye withstand such a siege? He was sweating profusely after a while. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and could only nod and promise to discuss it with Lotte Bank.
Yi and the others beat the snake and followed the stick. At this time, they quickly continued to apply pressure, complaining and making wishes. After hard and soft work, they finally got Qing Sanye to make a promise.
"I have risked my life for the sake of the court. I dare not promise much, but no matter what, I have to let Lotte Bank accept part of the bonds to help the court tide over this difficulty..."
People have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. After the third master said it, there was a flood of flattery immediately, and the free flattery was so powerful that the third master in Tangnong was confused.
It was not until the end of the Qiwang Tower meeting that the third master walked out of Jingshan in a daze. The cold wind after the heavy rain woke him up. The third master slapped his forehead hard several times, "Pig brain, how can you promise such a thing?" Brother Xiao has already accepted more than 6 million yuan of household debt, how can he be asked to pay for it? No matter how rich he is, he doesn't have that much..."
Qing Sanye's mind was full of regrets. Today's meeting was a trap. If he had known that the issue of the household deficit would be discussed, he should not have attended.
The housekeeper and the bearer looked at their master slapping their foreheads, and were too frightened to dissuade him. These were the rules brought up by slaves who had children in the family for generations, and they were very respectful.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps and a panting voice behind the third master. Looking back, he saw that it was Zhou Daoying, the most useful eunuch around Ci'an.
"Third Master, wait, Third Master, wait..." Zhou Daoying ran to Fu Qing's side, stuffed the key and a leather bag into his hand, opened it and saw that it was the 600,000 yuan that he gave to the Queen Mother. The bonds are actually paper money.
"The Queen Mother said that the court has its own difficulties. Don't blame the ministers for plotting against you. They really have no choice. They have exhausted all the ways to make money that can be thought of in the world. How can Xiao Letian really be the last one to save his life? Straw!”
"You know some things outside the palace much better than the Za family. Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong and other provinces have already received money, grain and taxes for 20 years since Tongzhi. Even if the court wanted to increase taxes, it would be too shameless to do so. If it happens again, If you force one or two provinces to rebel, life will become even more difficult..."
"Third Master, please take all these silver and gold and deal with emergencies first. Discuss with Xiao Letian and see if there are any safe investments and use them first. The Queen Mother is not short of money to spend, so it doesn't matter if you hold on tight... …Let’s save the imperial court from its emergency first!”
Fu Qing's eye sockets felt hot at that time, and he almost shed tears. This is the Queen Mother who truly considers the country and the country. She uses her private money to replenish the national treasury. She cannot be timid because she only cares about the Queen Mother if she does not do anything else.
The third master held the key tightly in his hand, and then stuffed a whole batch of pocket banknotes into Zhou Daoying's hands. "I took the gold, and I won't let the Queen Mother suffer any loss. I promise to give the Queen Mother the maximum amount of this investment." As for the income from these bonds, the Queen Mother should keep them for herself, even the Tian family has to live!"
After saying that, Zhou Daoying didn't wait for excuses, turned around and got into the sedan chair and left the palace gate in a hurry. Zhou Daoying wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said helplessly, "What's going on? What happened to the Qing Dynasty? Why did you end up so poor in a good life..."
That night, Qing Sanye escorted the batch of gold and left Sijiu City and headed straight for Tanggu under the protection of the New Army Cavalry. He knew that old shopkeeper Fan Lian was in Tanggu to discuss some business with the Sihai Grain Trading Company.
A telegram had been sent to Tanggu before departure. The third master already knew everything that happened in Sijiu City today before he arrived.
When he saw the news that the court was going to forcibly assign a debt of 10 million taels to Lotte Bank, the old man was so excited that he almost had a stroke.
"Wine, pour me some wine, sir... Today I'll drink the wine sent by Chateau Lafite in France. It's the kind of wine my uncle likes to drink the most..."
Chateau Lafite was founded in 1763 and has a history of a hundred years. Although Chateau Lafite at this time is far less famous than later generations, it is still considered a mid-to-high-end variety in France.
I don’t know why, but Xiao Letian has a soft spot for this mid-range French Bordeaux brand. During the few months he visited Europe, his two favorite drinks were German dark beer and this. A mid-range Lafite wine.
The wealthy Xiao Letian bought out almost all the cellars of Chateau Lafite and shipped them all back to Ryukyu. He even ordered Lotte Bank to secretly control a French winery, including Lafite's name.
My uncle loves to drink, and the old man is also very curious. In addition, Xiao Letian kept instilling in the old man that drinking wine can prevent heart palpitations and strokes, which is of great benefit to the body. In the end, Mr. Fan Lian, the old shopkeeper, gave up liquor.
After three glasses of wine, the old shopkeeper finally told the good news to his companion, Boss Niu of Sihai Trading Company. Boss Niu is now the largest partner of Lotte Foreign Company, and he is involved in many secret businesses.
Boss Niu also participated in Jiangnan's bond issuance business. He and even the Prime Minister's economic layout were extremely sophisticated. At first, everyone thought that the six million household debt was a big burden. However, after the Prime Minister's order was issued, everyone suddenly realized that It turns out that money can still be played like this.
Shopkeeper Niu looked at the telegraph newspaper in his hand and drank several glasses of wine. He slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "It's really a pillow when you feel sleepy! God of Wealth, the Prime Minister is the God of Wealth!"
"Eat it in, eat it all in! We will absorb as much national debt as there is. When we are developed, we are very developed now! From now on, we have the final say in the gold and silver of the Qing Dynasty..."
Fan Jian also laughed, "Yeah, from the beginning to the end, we never thought that playing with money would make us so profitable. I didn't expect that after more than ten years of Changmao Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty could still hide so much gold and silver. , How much wealth our ancestors have left us!"
"I don't know how the Prime Minister's talks with the Japanese are going now. If the plan there goes smoothly, our big business will be a sure profit!"
