C784 Fujian (2/2)

Zai Chun glanced at Feng Fu: ”This is the Ryukyu, if not for our Da Qing Empire, the Prime Minister would have already issued the decree, unless it is a sacrifice to the heavens and the Grand Commission that goes through the Spring Festival every year, no one is allowed to kneel down and kowtow to you …” ”Especially soldiers, as long as they wear military uniforms, they are not allowed to kneel. They are not allowed to kneel to the heavens and earth, and they are not allowed to kneel to their parents …”

”AHH!” ”This is truly outrageous …” The crowd burst into discussion.

But no one expected Zai Chun to shake his head indifferently, ”I think that's good, there's no need to go through all that details, if there's anything you need to say, go straight to the point! ”It's not like the so-called authority of an emperor is maintained through this sort of ceremony …”

”When I was in Japan, I wanted to meet the emperor in the capital, but because the Japanese Public official did not know how to use etiquette to receive me, I did not succeed. That's impossible, but he's going to kneel to me? ”He was reluctant, and in the end I just rode my horse and looked at the Japanese palace from a distance. I killed two birds on his wall and said hello!”

”The Emperor of Japan is like this now. Among his ministers, she still adhered to the etiquette of the Sui and Tang dynasties, without a single mistake. But what's the use? The power is still in the hands of the general and his great name. The Sky Emperor will forever remain empty … ”

”You think I'm not an empty shell? That Forbidden City is really big, the city wall is really high. I am trapped inside and I am a prisoner. You all kneel and kowtow to me everyday, but I want to ask you … Can my decree really leave the Forbidden City? ”Which one of you will listen to me …”

This was really not something an eleven or twelve-year-old child could say. He did not wait for anyone to reply before asking, ”You don't need to answer me, not to mention trying to lie to me using official language …” Go torture your own heart and question yourself. Is this Great Qing really being controlled by the Emperor? ”

Everyone's faces changed between red and white, and in the end, Feng Fu said in a weird voice, ”Of course … ”As long as you, Emperor Huang, can govern personally …”

”Hahaha …” Then let's take advantage of Master Feng's words! Hopefully, someone will be willing to return the power in my hands … ”Alright, let's not talk about this topic anymore. I'll answer your previous question now!”

”You said that Letian Firm doesn't have fifteen million in cash? I don't think so, but the amount of funds that Letian Firm and the banks can use every day is definitely above this amount! ”

”What?” So many... Isn't this just a silver mountain? ”

Fifteen million silver coins … That was a huge Silver Mountain. There were experts in math in the guild, so it would probably total the amount. ”Your Majesty, please don't lie to us …” Fifteen million silver coins to count as a foreign person was more than 400 tons! ”What a huge warehouse would it need to store this amount of silver!”

”That's right, that's a silver mountain and a silver sea!”

Zai Chun looked at them and asked puzzledly: ”What's impossible about that? The amount of silver stored in the Yongzheng at the end of the dynasty exceeds forty million silver. If this was counted to Western ton, then how much would it be? ”

”Besides, Letian Bank is not stupid, who would directly borrow money? They used bonds, Military Ticket and cheques! ”
