Yi? slapped his thigh and said sadly, "I once secretly consulted Hurd. He has a group of powerful businessmen under him. What they say is correct... Queen Mother, do you know that even if we don't print fake money, he Xiao Letian also has to seal..."
"You don't know, foreigners have said that the Qing Dynasty's economy is so huge that it actually doesn't even need one tael of silver to issue one tael of bonds. For such a large country, it is simply not enough to issue 30 to 40% more banknotes. No one can tell."
"On the surface, Xiao Letian said that he would issue as many bonds as he had in silver deposits and print as many banknotes as he had in banknotes. In fact, it was all deceiving people. If Xiao Letian didn't issue more bonds, brother, I would rip off his eyeballs as a pawn. Bubble."
"What are you talking about?" Ci'an frowned. "There are no outsiders in the room. How can anyone not believe you? Why are you saying this?"
"Hey...my good sister-in-law, in fact, if we print more bonds, it is not the Han people who bear the losses for us. Even if the bonds depreciate by 10% or 20% because we print an extra batch, on the surface we are satisfied. The money in people's hands has depreciated, but they don't think about it..."
"The formula for printing bonds is in our hands. We will replenish them in other names as much as the depreciation in value. It will not be the same then...it will sink while holding on to our backs."
"Since prices have risen, we can just issue more bonds to them. In fact, the Han people will bear the final loss. It's such a simple truth. I just can't understand it. I have to tear myself down to be happy. To put it bluntly, it's the Eight Banners." Everyone is doing their own thing, and their minds are scattered..."
Yi? You are right. It has been 200 years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners system has long since collapsed. The Manchu people are no longer united. The petty interests of each family are far higher than the interests of the country. In the final analysis, it is the boss of the country. , problems have already begun.
Cixi gasped angrily, "This Xiao Letian is so unreasonable. He was allowed to print more bonds to make money, but the court was not allowed to print them. He made all the money away. No wonder he had money to raise such powerful soldiers. If The imperial court has so much money, why would it do this?"
"Now he dares to print newspapers to scold us. He is still shameless. He, Xiao Letian, is even more shameless."
"We must no longer tolerate Xiao Letian's bad habits. We escort Yang Zhi to Beijing quickly. Babai Li is anxious to see our own printed bonds in the New Year..."
Yixuan was stunned, "What about the newspaper? Just let him slander the imperial court."
Ci Xi smiled sinisterly and said, "We can no longer retreat. If we give in this time, we will never stand up again... If it doesn't work, we will... measure China's material resources and the happiness of the country... Even if the Aijia is The slaves of Xiyi will also destroy him."
"If Xiao Letian doesn't give in, I will unite with the United Kingdom, France, and Russia... If you want land, I will give it, if you want money, I will give money. Anyway, they are all damn Han Chinese things. I will give them to them for free, and I will also kill Xiao Letian." die."
"Don't force me, no one forces me... I really hope the Aijia won't go crazy."
With just one sentence, the temperature in the entire Yangxin Hall dropped a lot. The two princes looked at me and I looked at you and said cautiously, "No...it can't be like that."
"This is what Xiao Letian forced me to do... If he doesn't let the Ai family live, I won't let him live either..." There was a cry in Cixi's voice.
At this time, Ci'an finally spoke, "What are you arguing about? It's not like the sky is falling apart. There's everything to talk about..."
"Didn't you realize that Xiao Letian scolded him fiercely in this incident, but in fact the revenge was not serious... Rumors are flying all over the capital, and the news that the bonds are about to depreciate is already known to everyone, and everyone is using bonds to buy supplies. But I ask you, why have prices only increased by 30%?"
One sentence shocked everyone, yes, if the rumors were so widespread, why did prices only increase by an average of 30%, and there were no businesses that closed their doors and stopped doing business.
If things were to be considered in the past, once such fatal rumors appeared, it would be trivial not to double the price of goods in the capital. If it were serious, there would be a wave of large-scale closures, and businesses would close and hoard.
"You guys, you know how to get angry. Whenever something big happens, you have to calm down. The more chaotic the situation, the more carefully you have to analyze the situation at hand. Since ancient times, stable food prices will lead to stable commodity prices. The key to stabilizing commodity prices in this rush to buy is still In Nancheng, especially in Longxugou..."
Yi? was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "Yes, Longxugou is now a place where Ryukyu merchants gather, and Sihai Grain Merchant is now the largest supplier in the capital... He has been open to supply until now, and the bonds are unconditional The collection."
"So, Xiao Letian has never closed the channel for selling grain. Is he using grain from Nanyang, Japan, Jiangnan, and Ryukyu to stabilize prices in the capital?"
Ci'an nodded, "Yes, since Xiao Letian allowed the Sihai Grain Company to continue transporting grain to the capital, it shows that they have not closed the door to negotiations at all. They have left us a buffer, and things have not been completed..."
"As for the newspaper, it is actually a part of the negotiation. He is using this method to put pressure on the court. Believe it or not, as long as the court agrees to negotiate well with him, the newspaper will disappear without a trace tomorrow. …”
"I have entrusted Fu Qing to go to Tanggu to negotiate with Xiao Letian. The negotiations can take place slowly, but this civil newspaper cannot be printed again before the Spring Festival. There is only so much that the Ai family can fight for you. As for how to talk to Xiao Letian , that’s something you have to consider…”
Ci'an stood up, "This year, I can make your life more comfortable, but after the Chinese New Year, I can't guarantee it. You have to make your own decisions... But I think he said it in the Journey to the West. One sentence still makes sense.
"The so-called negotiation does not mean that we have to come up with a winner or lose, or have one family cry and the other laugh. The best negotiation should be that after the result is announced, both parties and even many parties will complain a lot, jump and curse, but in the end it can be implemented. …This is the highest state of successful negotiation.”
"Haha... they all scolded me, but in the end they were all willing to implement it. This idea is really novel, and it's completely different from what we thought before."
This secret meeting in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall was not actually a meeting on behalf of the Manchus. This meeting only represented the interests of the royal family, that is, the interests of the Aisin Gioro family.
Cracks have arisen within the Manchu people, and people are scattered and each has their own agenda. Only one common interest still holds them from splitting, which is to unite and jointly enslave the Han people. This is the common interest of the entire Eight Banners Group, and it was also the common interest of the late Qing Dynasty in history. There has been no main reason for internal division.
Note: Many book friends in the group said they didn’t know how to read the original version or where the original version was. Some people even took screenshots of pirated copies and asked me if what they read was the original version.
Xinjing could only say helplessly that everyone used their browsers to search for Daqing Hidden Dragon, and the books cached offline were all pirated copies.
Don't tell me which Baidu browser, QQ browser, 360 browser, UC browser you are using...the book links provided by these browsers, as well as the entire offline cache, are all pirated links.
You can only use your browser to search for '17k Chinese website' and then enter this website, and then read Daqing Yinlong, which is considered genuine and can help Xinjing. Reading books anywhere else will not help Xinjing. .
Unknowingly, this book has 2.57 million words. You should know whether it is good or not. You have read pirated copies with so many words. Why don’t you come and subscribe to the original version? Even if you only pay two yuan for a subscription, it is still a token of your gratitude. .
Xinjing is setting up a broken bowl to beg for food today. Where is the genuine version of Daqing Yinlong? You can subscribe for one or two yuan. Just because Xinjing has provided you with 2.57 million words of wonderful stories, just for this little friendship , you are reluctant to even pay one or two yuan for a subscription.
