C1406 All sheep (1/2)

In order to get the Prime Minister's help, there would have to be a price to pay. If Xiao Letian did not want anything else, he had to pay for it! Although the cause of the financial crisis in Jiangnan was not Xiao Letian's primary cause, he still played the role of the bandit in the final stage of the crisis.

Xiao Letian also spared no effort to save the market, because he was very clear that not only had the wealth of Jiangnan been plundered but also countless of its citizens.

At that time, Xiao Letian was still facing the threat of being threatened by the Expeditionary forces of Sha Russia, but he had still transferred all his military spending to support the market. He had even used Nan Yang's food to support the market, but the opponent was too strong and too vicious, the Qing Dynasty and the foreign devil had combined their efforts to destroy the market, and the rumors had spread far and wide.

It would be a lie to say that they were not angry, as the Letian Firm had made many detailed budgets before. They thought that if one third of the people in Jiangnan chose to support the southern side of the bill, then the financial war would not end up in such a state.

However, the reality was too cruel. Over 90% of the people chose to protect themselves in the midst of danger, and all chose to follow the flow. This kind of large trend was not something that Xiao Letian's forces could resist.

In the end, the greedy and foolish citizens had angered Xiao Letian. Since they had chosen to abandon him, then they might as well hurt each other!

After that, the Chinese side had to play with foreign devils, Qing Dynasty and the entire population's funds. They established the Gambling to use people's gambling mentality to set up the market, and then purposely released all kinds of fake information to lure the people in.

In the end, the American Merchant Shipping released the news of their defeat, which was a Chinese conspiracy.

Jiang Nan's wealth had been plundered, following that, Xiao Letian released the news of his true victory, and used his influence to quickly restore the credit of the paper money. As long as the food and taxes were tied up, the paper money's credit would be restored.

With money, Xiao Letian would never give up with such a name! In the future, the Chinese would slowly eat up Jiangnan until it became clear to everyone. This was to ensure that the Prime Minister did not have any bad reputation.

The telegraph instructions that Liu Chouchu received stated that before the Prime Minister's funds could come to the rescue market, they had to harmonize all the Big Merchant's thoughts, especially those with the same caliber.

The black pot was for the foreign devils and corrupt officials to carry, while the Prime Minister carried the reputation of a savior. This was the minimum requirement. If he did not agree to this, then there was no hope of saving the market.

Liu Chouchu and Wang Liuyi understood the Prime Minister's words tacitly, so they decided to convene a Hundred Streams Meet to invite all the top merchants from the region together.

Every one of the biggest merchants would influence dozens or even hundreds of small ones. It was very effective for them to advertise those people. Basically, those people would believe whatever the big boss said, but no one dared to question him.

And those small merchants at the most basic level would directly deal with ordinary citizens. During the process of doing business and chatting, these small merchants would be able to instigate these kinds of ideas among the common folk, and eventually make all the citizens of Jiangnan accept the Prime Minister's point of view.

It was needless to say that the subtext between the two parties had already stated that if one was inexperienced in business or had a lack of wisdom, he or she would not understand it at all.

Everyone understood each other, so there was no need to say that everyone understood it!

Seeing how the merchants were acting, Liu Chouchu and Wang Liuyi felt extremely gratified. The meeting had just reached the real crucial point, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, but no one felt hungry at all.
