C735 Fusang Bank (2/2)
Xiao Letian had seen through the crux of the problem long ago. The reason why Japan had such a low value of gold and silver was actually because the market was seriously lacking in small currency. It could be said that whoever could solve this problem would be able to control the Japanese economy.
Since Fusang Bank had developed the Japanese gold and silver mines, they naturally had the right to forge gold and silver. As for whether I should forge gold and silver into gold ingots or silver ingots, that would be my freedom. Even if I become a Ryukyu Dragon-striated Silver Coin, as long as I don't lack people, no one can stop me.
Well, since Fusang Bank can forge gold and silver, can't it issue banknotes with a standard silver issue at the same time? That was not impossible. Since the bank had a large amount of gold and silver in the bank, why couldn't it issue notes?
With the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, the cut that Xiao Letian had to make sure to kill was hidden very deeply. As long as the bill was successfully issued, then his warehouse would definitely accumulate a large amount of gold and silver.
Just as Xiao Letian was looking forward to a brighter future, the sound of footsteps came from outside the Heaven's Tower. The Dragon Lord walked in to deliver an urgent message to the Prime Minister.
”Prime Minister, the latest news has arrived from the capital. The imperial government is preparing to forcefully distribute the Letian Bank's ten million. Right now, Lord San is trying to force the two of them …” old shopkeeper never let go! ”
Xiao Letian was startled. ”Another 10 million debt? Do they really have the guts to cross the sea to fight Japan? ”
The Dragon Lord laughed and said, ”I've already investigated thoroughly in the capital. The truth is that they have used the assassination attempt on His Majesty as an excuse. ”Of course, as long as you have money, you will have to be strong. At that time, the negotiations with Japan will be more or less tough …”
This message did not come by a private message. Many officials saw this message and in a short while, this news was sent to the ears of the Tongzhi Emperor.
The little emperor didn't understand the trick behind this and quickly trotted over to find his master.
”This is too outrageous!” How could the imperial government be so reckless?! Master's money is also the money of countless investors in the world. The Letian Bank is related to the interests of millions of people, how can they say that they need money just because they want money? ”This is too unreasonable …”
Xiao Letian looked at Zai Chun who was sitting on the tatami and doing his best to act, and laughed without saying a word. In the end, the little emperor could not hold it in anymore, ”Master, please calm down, if not, I will give the order to the capital to stop them from messing around …”
”Is this really nonsense? I heard that the Department of Revenue is now so empty that they don't even have money left in storage. Some provinces have already received Tongzhi's taxes for twenty years, and some people even want to increase their taxes … ”
Zai Chun's face reddened. ”That's right, I heard about it too. The imperial government has been fighting so much in these few years, they really don't have any money left …”
”Since disciple has a filial piety, I won't worry about it anymore. I will send a message back to Tanggu and tell them to stop meddling in other people's business …”
”Don't... ”Don't!” Zai Chun panicked. ”Um … If you really can help that master, then just help him! ”Don't even mention ten million, why don't you settle the score with seven million …”
”Six million …”
”Four million should be enough …”
”Aiya, my good master! Even if you feel sorry for your disciple, can't you solve the problem of 3 million …”
