C670 make a fortune (1/2)
The news of Ceng Guofan sending troops to lock up the Shanghai Road Altar shocked the entire Jiangnan in an instant, and then, it quickly flew to different parts of the entire nation. After half a year of construction, the Qing San Ye had already laid many sections of telegraph line cables on the Eastern Plains.
Although it was an intermittent telegraph network, it was still very helpful in transmitting information. In just five days, it had already shaken the capital.
The two kings in power, Head Office, couldn't believe their eyes. The words on the electric newspaper were like a hammer smashing onto their hearts, they finally understood that the Xiang Army had already sided with the Emperor and the empress dowager and prince in the capital were all bullsh * t.
”A eleven year old child, yet he was blown away by two Cao Cao. Did he think he was doing this for the sake of his own family?!” ”He's making someone else use it as a gun …”
”No, we have to go see the empress dowager. If this goes on, the kingdom will fall into chaos!”
The two princes hastily entered the palace to hand over the signboard, but they did not expect that Ci Xi had already known about this news, so he directly sent the matter over to the Eastern Palace Empress Dowager without saying anything further.
”I is just an empress dowager of the Western Palace. His shoulders are too narrow, and he can't afford to shoulder the burden of military matters. With that, she turned around and went to the imperial garden to look at the flowers.
The two princes looked at each other, they could only muster up the courage to see Empress Dowager of the East Ci An who had a drastic change in personality. Ci An, who was fishing at the edge of the North Sea, laughed coldly after hearing the two dukes' reports, ”You think it's against the rules? I also felt that it was against the rules, but so what? Now, tell I what you want to do. ”
The two princes were stunned by that question. Yes, what could they do? The court ordered that the emperor's decree was illegal? That Xiao Letian and Ceng Guofan's actions were against the rules and rebelling? Wasn't that beating his own mouth? If you say they revolted, then you should just go and suppress them.
With just the small military power of the imperial court, who could they defeat?
”If it wasn't for me, the sister-in-law, you, you two would have been a little muddled in the past few years. You don't even know how to do something so obvious?”
”Hurry up and bring that damned Dao Tai Lock to the capital. Even if we have to kill him or cut him to pieces, we have to do it ourselves! He wanted the Ministry of Justice to take the blame for killing him and vent his anger on His Majesty and the two big bosses … ”In any case, you guys should at least send over the taxes of Jiangnan. At least you guys should get some money to train the new army …”
”If I really can't take it easy, the imperial government will never be able to get tough without a new army to back it up …” ”If it really isn't possible, then contact the foreigners and see if we can borrow some money. We have to tide the current situation over …”
The two princes were scolded to the point that their faces and necks turned red. After leaving the Jingshan, they spat on the ground, ”What the hell are you doing, all covered in peach blossoms, do you think we don't know what you did? Relying on the power of the Second Demon, who do you think you are … ”Let's go!”
The Manchu dynasty was still in a state of invective, they were unwilling to change their plans in the future. After half a year, the new army did not even have a chance to show off, the Inside Eight Flags was fighting for the limited number of places as officers, and their heads were beaten like dogs.
But in their eyes, if the official's airs were not jabbed up, how would they be able to cram troops in? Eight flags are a family, you can't let fat water flow into foreign lands, my boy has nothing to do, do you want to give your position to the Chinese? Grandmother …
Without Xiao Letian, the capital's capital had returned to its old path. The nine bulls could not even pull it back.
The fourth floor of the Letian Firm Building had already been hung with photos of the Letian Bank. Merchants from all over the world had brought gold and silver to deposit in here, and the branch that Jiangnan Hu Xueyan was in charge of was also sending ships of gold and silver to this place.
A box full of silver taels was piled up in the hall. Under the protection of the armed and heavily armed New Army, the shop assistant of the Foreign Bank started to weigh the silver taels. ”Jiangnan Eternal Xing has 1 million taels of silver and 20 thousand taels of gold …” This shopkeeper, how many silver coins do you want and how many certificates of deposit do you want? ”Oh, I understand. I'll give Eternal Xing 500 thousand eagles …”
”This shopkeeper, our Ryukyu has a new type of silver coin. Look, it's called Dragon Coin, with the four words' Dragon Soaring Sky 'printed on the front. Behind it is a coiling dragon, look how beautiful it is …”
Countless shopkeepers were touching the exquisite dragon coins that the machine in their hands was producing, as they loved each and every one of them. They were experts at this and were able to see through it with a slight flick of their palms.
”Aiya, he's the same size as Ying Yang, why does it feel like he's holding back a little?”
”Aiyo, you are an expert. There is nothing wrong with it. This Dragon dollar is a new technology, its purification skills are much better than Ying Yang's. How can this silver not be superior?” ”If you look at the edges of these small sawteeth, it's to prevent anyone from stealing the silver from the files. Please don't change these beautiful silver coins for something of equal value …”
”It's done. I want all 500,000 silver coins in dragon dollars. Silver coins like this are definitely popular …”
Xiao Letian and old shopkeeper Fan Lian stood at the top floor of the bank, watching the bustling crowd outside the square, laughing so hard that their mouths almost reached their ears.
”How lucrative! This is how we do things! As long as we have the right to forge coins, we will never lose any money!” The old shopkeeper said with a smile.
”Father, you can decide. As long as we have more gold and silver in our warehouse, our army will become stronger. The stronger our army is, the more gold and silver we will be able to obtain in the future …”
