C2801 wolf ambition (1/2)
A single sentence caused Gordon to be stunned. He started to ponder over and over again in his heart.
Is it really just financial knowledge? If it was just a question of financial knowledge, some scholars in Europe would be willing to help the emperor achieve enlightenment!
Are financial scientists at any university in Berlin more professional than they are? Why are you asking me, I'm a general!
From the very beginning, when Tongzhi asked him what was capitalism and what was the right price of gold, he had already felt that something was wrong.
There was only one possibility for him to ask so many professional questions from someone who was not a professional. That was, the little Emperor's question could not be told to others!
There aren't many people that can be trusted by the little emperor in Europe, but there are no experts that can answer his questions. In the end, all I can do is find a way out from me, Gordon!
What did the little Emperor want to know? Why did he become so cautious? What was he afraid of, or afraid of?
A bold idea surfaced in Gordon's mind. Could it be that everything the little emperor did was against Xiao Letian?
It was very possible that all the previous questions were just a preparation. In fact, what the little emperor really wanted to know was whether or not the Chinese financial system would be a threat to his rule.
After all, he just said that those hidden capital forces were too powerful and that he overstated the magic of money. The little emperor was a little scared!
Gordon gradually understood a bit more, and slowly said, ”Your Majesty! ”This official is just a martial general after all. I really don't know much about finance …”
Seeing that Gordon's words seemed to contain an intention to reject, Zai Chun's little face immediately turned cold, but he did not expect Gordon to change the topic.
”But since Your Majesty trusts this subject so much, this subject will explain according to my own understanding. If I'm wrong, I hope Your Majesty can forgive me …”
”No, no!” ”We're just casually chatting here, you can say whatever you want. This Emperor will definitely not blame you for that!”
”Good …” If Your Majesty wishes to hear it, this subject shall spout a few lies! ”
”The leader is not an ordinary person. Not to mention his military and political skills, just based on this financial reform package of his, I already know that he has some dry goods in his heart!”
”Where is the financial foundation of the Chinese people? ”Your subject's understanding lies in the following points …”
”First, silver! Everyone knows that the Great Qing is a silver standard country, and there are not many gold reserves. At this moment, the Leader has already grasped several silver trading channels that lead to the North America and the South America! ”
”Why are Chinese and American commercial relations so close? Some contracts had to be invested by the Americans first? In the end, he still has to protect the Pacific Ocean's silver trade channel. At the very least, the United States and Mexico can import the Silver leaders! ”
”There are also the silver mines of South America, the Great Ocean War of Ikek, which allowed the leader's influence to gradually penetrate deep into the Andes Mountain Range. The silver ores there are worth a lot!”
”With enough silver, the Chinese people will have enough money to supply their businesses.”
”The second point is the note! With enough silver, the Führer can issue paper money, which is the same as my British currency … ”
”On the market, paper flows while silver sleeps in the warehouse. That is to say, no matter what happens, silver has never left Xiao Letian's control!”
”The silver vault is protected by rifles and cannons. This is the confidence of the Chinese!”
”Your Majesty, look and see, isn't this a little better than the currency of the Great Qing? Great Qing Cultivators can collect taxes and spend money outside. This is the true transaction of silver ingots … ”
