727 If you have money to spend, you can spend it as you like
There is a very subtle saying, a woman's favorite two kinds of flowers in her life are not roses, lilies, tulips and the like, but rich flowers and casual flowers.
Don't look at the Queen Mother as the mother of the country, she is the most powerful woman in the entire Qing Dynasty, but in the face of money, he is the same as ordinary little girls.
Small households earn less, but they spend less, and their desires are not big. And the palace is big, although there is a lot of money, but the expenses are also very large, and the little money allocated by the imperial court every year is not enough at all.
Qing Sanye has 600,000 cash silver, which is really too much help to Ci'an, God knows how many loyal ministers and guards these silver will buy in the future, and how many spies can be planted for the opponent.
If there is no money, no troops, ninety percent of all the forces in the world are gathered together by money, especially in countries with a system like the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Listening to Qing Sanye say the three words I am willing, the manly smell that came to her face made Ci Xin move, this feeling is so wonderful, the feeling of being protected and cared for is like this, just three words, a sense of security gushing out of her heart wrapped her.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many eunuchs and palace maids here, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a meeting in broad daylight, Ci'an might have been able to roll into the arms of Qing Sanye.
"You...... There has to be a degree of waste! Repair a few houses for me, why did you even buy golden silk nanmu? Isn't this waiting for outsiders to chew their tongues...... "At this moment, Ci'an is just like his own little daughter-in-law.
Qing Sanye said domineeringly, "The Queen Mother is the mother of the Qing Dynasty and the most valuable person, and it is nothing to use a few golden silk nan...... Besides, these golden silk nans were purchased in the name of Lotte & Co., and it didn't cost much to go by sea at all!"
"Some people outside say that this golden silk is worth 150,000 taels of silver, this is right, not right, not right, according to the idea of that group of dirty officials, the water over the ground and wet silver have to be greedy, if they go to purchase Jin Sinan, they can really make a high price of 200,000 taels out......"
"But it doesn't matter if Lotte foreign company purchases, the whole process is a commercial behavior, and the emphasis is on how fast and easy it is, and no one will be greedy for themselves!
A sentence that we called Ci'an's heart softened, and her little face was slightly red, "Forget it, it's all entrusted to you anyway, let you do it...... But there's one more thing I want to ask you!"
"Six million debts, how did Xiao Letian become so much cash?
In fact, Qing Sanye couldn't say that he couldn't explain the complicated financial knowledge, he could only say that everything boiled down to the loyalty of his subjects to the Queen Mother.
"Lotte Bank takes away the national debt, it is impossible to lose money, he can only use the way of splitting to pass on the risk, and the local governors have no money in their hands, so they can only rely on the people and rich households of the Qing Dynasty......"
"One yuan, ten yuan, one hundred yuan bonds are sold in Jiangnan, everyone hears that it is to raise funds for the queen mother's garden, who doesn't offer some filial piety, so the bonds are snapped up wherever they go......"
Ci'an covered his mouth with a smile, "Sycophant, don't come to this set, I don't believe your nonsense...... If the small people hadn't embezzled the thirty percent of the money and interest, and the hope of tax cuts in the future, they wouldn't have bought it, slippery!"
The third master also smiled, "Actually, it's all the same, filial piety and money, do you say they can not be enthusiastic? Besides, Lotte is an endless gold mine, and it is not a problem to earn 30% of the profit in three years, so everyone can rest assured, and the natural subscription will be fast......"
Ci'an nodded, and then said solemnly, "My ugly words are ahead, in case you can't fulfill your promise in the future, I will never admit it, don't look for me to carry the black pot for you when the time comes......"
"The Queen Mother puts her heart in her stomach, and no one will pit you if I pit you!"
Speaking of this, Ci'an gave Zhou Daoying a look, Zhou Daoying smiled and gave Qing Sanye a thousand, and then handed over a golden key, "Third Master, the Queen Mother still has 60,000 taels of gold in her hand, that is the Queen Mother's last bit of private money, I want to entrust the Third Master to invest ......"
"No one in the world dares to believe the Queen Mother, and there is only one reliable person, the third master, the Queen Mother is embarrassed to say something, but I have to say it...... Third master, give me a letter of approval, how much money can I earn, and how many years can I return to my capital?"
The third master pondered for a while, "The Queen Mother, Father-in-law Zhou...... I don't say anything to fool people, I can only understand sixty percent of this bank business, and forty percent of that is people's secrets, but I can still analyze one or two ......"
"Now the Qing Dynasty is obviously cheap silver and gold is expensive, according to the convention, the exchange ratio of gold and silver should be one to ten, but the actual exchange has reached one to fifteen, which also means that one tael of gold can be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver, and the queen mother's 60,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for at least 900,000 taels of silver......
"I'll make up a whole for the Queen Mother, it's no problem to count a million!"
"Ah, how can there be so many ......" Zhou Daoying couldn't believe his ears, "Let's go to Jingshi Qianzhuang to exchange it ourselves, at most it's one to thirteen, this group of black-hearted ghosts eat so many miscellaneous families?"
"You didn't find the right place, what I gave you is the internal bulk transaction price of Lotte Bank, and the gold and silver exchange on the market, other small traders also have to make a difference, otherwise wouldn't you want to drink the northwest wind?"
"I heard the old shopkeeper Fan Yi say, he said that Europeans are different from us Asians, they think gold as money, only we Asia take silver as money, in Europe silver only has two uses, one is for decoration, and the other is used to do business with our Asia, especially the Qing Dynasty......"
"This situation has appeared since the late Ming Dynasty, and over the past few hundred years, there has been more and more gold in Europe, and more and more silver in our China, and gradually there has been a strange phenomenon of gold and silver in our Qing Dynasty......"
"My brother Xiao Letian once said that if the phenomenon of gold outflow from China is not curbed, I am afraid that there will be great disasters in the future! I don't know what the big difficulties are, and he didn't tell me in detail......
Of course, Xiao Letian will not talk to the third master about currency wars and anything like that, an economy that has not even popularized paper money cannot understand such advanced economic theories.
Under the premise that there is no large number of mature economists to escort the country, the only thing Xiao Lotian can do is to get a lot of gold from the Chinese people first, and then store it secretly.
No matter how many hundred years have passed, these secretly hidden gold may be able to play a decisive role in the moment of national survival, and gold is actually one of the three caves of Xiao Letian's cunning rabbit.
The third master slapped his thigh violently, "The queen mother's million taels of silver, I will open my face to beg my Xiao brother, I will ask him to give you a part of the shares of Lotte Foreign Bank, but the most primitive shares, more dare not guarantee, after three years of repayment, you can get no less than the interest of the first three years......"
Ci'an was stunned at the time, three years of repayment is a year of 330,000 ah, and this is still the original shares, as long as Lotte Ocean exists in the future, it will be able to get no less than 300,000 taels of silver interest every year!
"Three million taels in ten years, six million taels in twenty years...... Zhou Daoying's mouth trembled, "Is this true? You're not lying to the minions, are you?"
"Hahaha, 300,000 a Chinese New Year's Eve is just the current market, my brother's economic layout swallowing mountains and rivers, who in the world can compare? As long as he is given time, it is not impossible to divide 600,000 or even 1 million a year in the future?"
"He came back from Europa empty-handed, and it only took a few years to create such a big family business, so what about ten years later? The future is limitless......
The two sides reached a deal, and at this time, the eunuch outside the Qiwang Tower also ran in, "The Empress Dowager Qiqi, the Empress Dowager of the West and the princes and ministers have already arrived, when will they be summoned?"
As soon as Fuqing heard this, he quickly got up from the stool and stood sideways where his grade should stand, with a respectful expression that was as respectful as he was.
"Alright, it's cool outside, let my sister and all the adults come in...... Prepare osmanthus sour plum soup for everyone to go to the heat!"
Cixi was the first to enter the temple, and after saluting Ci'an, her eyes were ruddy, and she sat aside without saying a word, obviously the news of her son's assassination made her very sad.
They were followed by the princes and ministers, and when they saw that Fuqing had already stood in the hall in advance, they all had strange expressions on their faces, and some of them even showed angry expressions.
Qing Sanye didn't see it, lowered his eyebrows and didn't say anything, honestly like a statue.
The ministers saluted the Queen Mother, and then gave a seat, and everyone was in no mood to drink the sour plum soup, quietly waiting for the Queen Mother's opening remarks.
After a moment of silence, Ci'an finally spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone already knows the news of His Majesty's assassination in Japan, this is something that has never been encountered in the two hundred years of the dynasty, how to solve it, let's discuss it and pay attention to it......"
It was Emperor Tongzhi's biological mother who followed Ci'an's mouth, even if Cixi in history was vicious, but she still loved her own son, and the stupid news of Zaichun was tantamount to a thunderclap to her.
"Woooooooooo......oo The mourning family has long said that the emperor can't leave the Forbidden City, and he definitely can't trust Xiao Letian's demon......, what is the result?
Cixi slapped the table, desperately venting the resentment in her heart, no one dared to contradict him this time, even Ci'an had to let her order, don't top her when a woman protects her calf, this is a life experience.
After a whole cup of tea, Cixi calmed down a little, and finally said, "I only have two demands, the first is to take His Majesty back to Beijing, and the second is to send troops to Japan to take revenge.
Cixi's cold words were murderous, and everyone had a cold breath on the back of their necks, and the new saying that this woman was really going crazy, such unrealistic words could be said.
