786 Bureaucracy and capital
"Sometimes the bureaucrats are corrupt, not purely greedy for money, he is more often because he is not convinced, because he is free he is brainwashed, he thinks that he is the pride of the sky, the scholars and the emperor share the world, they are the most noble class except the emperor......"
"Then the question arises, since they have already recognized themselves as the best groups in the country, how can they watch the businessmen make a lot of money and remain indifferent? Therefore, Chinese businessmen have made a little money, and there are few ...... who are willing to invest and upgrade their industries."
"They will gather money together, use jars and boxes, hide them deep underground, or buy land, buy a lot of land, and finally donate officials to future generations, and they must let future generations integrate into the collective of bureaucrats, and whether they make money or not is at least a protection of identity!"
Zaichun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not that we can't get such a bank, but it's about whether it can be managed well, just look at the current officialdom without officials and not greedy, tens of millions of taels or even hundreds of millions of funds are gathered together, what will be the result? It will attract the greedy eyes of countless hungry wolves......
"Don't look at me, don't think that I am the emperor to protect such a fortune, I eat an egg in the Forbidden City for ten taels of silver, and those minions are even more unscrupulous ......to be greedy for my money."
"You say that in such a court, how much silver does this bank have to earn to satisfy their appetite? Now Lotte Bank only has one or two silver reserves in the treasury to issue eight-dollar bills, what he is afraid of is a run, it can be said that the credit of Lotte Bank is very carefully held up by people......
"If we also set up a bank, I am sure that there is 10 million physical silver in the treasury, and they will dare to issue 50 million or even 100 million bonds! Why did the treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty have to be abolished in the Zhengde period? It is because of the inflation caused by indiscriminate issuance!"
Speaking of this, Zaichun shook his head sadly, "Seriously, I have been in the Forbidden City and Sijiu City for a long time, and I really think that I am the pride of the sky, but in fact, I only realized that the credit of the current imperial court may not be comparable to that of the Ryukyus, and that of Lotte Bank......"
At this time, the pamphlet had already been spread throughout the envoys, and people's expressions were extremely complicated, Feng Fu said entangledly, "Your Majesty, don't be so pessimistic, we have to cheer up, as long as you are pro-government in the future, pro-gentleman and far from villains, naturally the government is clear and ......."
Good guy, it's been a year, Zaichun has long been annoyed with the eight strands, and when he saw Feng Fu opening his mouth, he was frightened and hurriedly waved his hand, "Borrow Lord Feng's auspicious words, let's talk about the things in front of us first......"
In fact, there is nothing to say about this visit in front of me, and people with discerning eyes can see that the court wants to touch the details of Xiao Lotian on the next visit, and some courtiers in the court already have doubts in their hearts, they can't figure out what is the reason for Xiao Letian's rapid rise.
Clearly said that the inspection, their faces were still dull, thinking that they had always said that the outside world was dross, and only the things left by the ancestors were treasures, if they went abroad in the name of investigation, it means that the imperial court wants to learn Western studies, isn't this a slap in the face.
Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that His Majesty was studying abroad, and there were many things happening in the past year, he justifiably sent an envoy to visit the little emperor and see if His Majesty missed home! When he would come back! But in fact, they were forced to feel helpless that they should open their eyes and see the world.
I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for just a year, and the little emperor had changed so much, so is Xiao Letian really a bit of a golden hand? Not only can he turn stones into gold, but he can also turn decay into magic?
Weng Tongji knew his student very well, he knew that Emperor Tongzhi was very smart, and he could be regarded as a child with a high IQ in the Manchu imperial family, but he was definitely not a genius, and he was not at the same level as those folk genius boys.
Moreover, the Tongzhi Emperor in the past had a trace of confusion in his arrogance, but there was three points of cowardice in his dignity, which was not at all the high-spirited appearance he is now. It seems that Xiao Letian not only taught the emperor a lot of new knowledge, but also reshaped the character of the little emperor.
At the banquet at noon, everyone only drank four minutes, which was a little drunk, very relieved and comfortable, but not so much to delay things. After dinner, the senior wanted to go to the checkout, but Zai Chunyi raised his hand, "No, I have money!"
Under the stunned gaze of the courtiers, Jae-chun took out a leather folding wallet from the pocket of his military uniform, which contained thick Ryukyu military tickets.
Military tickets, this is one of the earliest banknotes issued by Xiao Letian, and he also personally issued them to the soldiers when he was in Tanggu to show his favor.
Military tickets are the most privileged of all Ryukyu banknotes, there is no need to queue up to exchange military tickets for physical gold and silver, anyone gives way to military tickets, you say you came first, then it is useless All financial institutions have to exchange this military ticket first.
The tax payment of military tickets will always enjoy the highest discount, which is clearly stipulated in the Prime Minister's Military Law, and the preferential amount of paper money tax payment is different every year, but no matter how many military tickets are always the highest.
Last but not least, military tickets can be consumed in some military family stores, and there are some very small goods in the streets and alleys of the Ryukyus, and they have a unified name called military family stores, which are opened by the families of military officials and meritorious officials.
Only military tickets are accepted for consumption here, and nothing else is easy to use, and military tickets can buy some top-notch black market goods here.
Foreign guns and bullets eliminated by the army, surplus armed belts, kerosene lighters, and top-quality cowhide combat boots in the army storeroom...... Anyway, some military products that are rarely seen on the market can be purchased here with military tickets.
Especially foreign guns, as long as the people of the Ryukyus are trained, they can get the legal right to carry guns, but guns cannot be bought and sold casually, especially good guns, you have to go to those military stores to buy, so many privileges can be seen that it is difficult to think about the business of military stores.
If you settle the bill with real money, people will laugh at you and settle the bill with ordinary bonds, and everyone will think that you are a normal person.
If you settle the bill with a check book issued by Rakuten Bank, you must be a big dealer, and if you are using this kind of military ticket...... This means that you must be in politics or have a close relationship with the military.
The exchange ratio of bonds and military bills on the black market can reach a maximum of 1:15! This shows the extent to which military tickets are sought after.
The fat boss of Fujianju saw that the distinguished guest took out a military ticket today, and immediately shouted at a sharp voice, "Distinguished guest on the third floor, the military ticket is rewarded...... Thanks!" The guys on the entire three-story building shouted in unison, just like the ones they had rehearsed in advance, "Thank you!"
