The crackling of the dial, the clatter of turning the paper, the various data on the blackboard and the different data charts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWang Mingshan: At the head office of Europa Bank in Cyprus, I once again felt the feeling of a central banker.

Bank Europa is very concerned about the collapse of food prices in Europe, because some bank customers have committed suicide, and the local branch of Europa Bank immediately started liquidation work to maximize profits. Branches around the world are nervous and don't know where the future holds.

"The analyst department believes that the collapse in food prices is not accidental, but a general outbreak of long-term changes." The president of the bank gave a report to Wang Mingshan with a nervous face, and the people who attended the meeting with him also looked nervous.

Wang Mingshan knows the most critical of these people in charge and has some confidence in their professionalism. So Wang Mingshan just nodded and listened quietly. The governor did not get the slightest excitement when he saw the old central bank governor, and he calmed down and continued to introduce.

Europa's analytical arm believes that agricultural productivity in Europe has improved a lot over the years, but Europe's main food importers are the United Kingdom, Germany and the Nordic countries. The Nordic countries are sparsely populated and have an abundant supply of meat and fish. The main markets that can influence food prices on a large scale are the United Kingdom and Germany. More than 2 million poor people have left the British island in the past two years, which has greatly reduced the actual demand for food in the UK.

"Cheaper meats, as well as non-staple foods, began to enter the island of Great Britain, and that was the last straw. Food prices will continue to fall in the future. Unless there is a large-scale famine year, food prices are unlikely to rebound quickly. Large transport vessels have made transportation costs lower rapidly, and it is the grain production in North America that determines the price of grain in the UK. There is a risk of deflation in Europe. The president of Europa Bank finished reading his expectations for the future.

"Is it deflation......" Wang Mingshan nodded slightly. Inflation and deflation are new terms that have suddenly appeared in China in the last two decades. Wang Mingshan is considered a disciple of Wei Ze, and he heard these words when he was in party school. The young people under Wang Mingshan probably heard these words in junior high school, and their junior high school teachers may not have known these words much earlier than the students. Thinking of this, Wang Mingshan couldn't help but want to laugh, it was very interesting to see large-scale deflation in the real sense.

Seeing the old president's smile of unknown meaning, the president of Europa Bank felt uneasy in his heart. He asked tentatively, "Secretary Wang, this ...... Do you have any comments on our report? ”

Wang Mingshan replied easily: "I think everyone has done their best." As for how things turn out, let's keep looking down. There are a lot of things we've only heard of, but we haven't really seen before. ”

"However......, according to textbooks, deflation is not necessarily a better threat than inflation if it leads to a decrease in the amount of transactions in society as a whole." The president of Europa Bank said uneasily.

Seeing that the governor was so nervous, Wang Mingshan waved his hand, "I'm here this time to see how everyone faces the problem, and I don't give instructions on the implementation of specific problems." Over the years, we haven't seen real deflation. So when it comes to how to deal with it, we've only read what it's written in the book. Although the Governor will never lie to us, it will take the experience to know if there is a problem with our ability to cope. ”

There was no practical solution to this, and the president of Europa Bank was disappointed. However, Wang Mingshan did not blame him, at least let the bank pass this hurdle. The governor sighed in his heart, and said that he would talk about it wherever he went in the future.

At a time when the market's response was nothing more than a collapse in food prices, London was not at all ashamed of the situation it had created. The British Empire was only thinking about a day-by-day affair, and the members of Parliament, out of their own interests, either hoping to get more votes in the election, or hoping to be able to make a profit on certain investments, or simply hoping to push for a decree that they agreed with, quite a few votes of parliamentarians continued to encourage the British people to emigrate to North America.

Britain emigrated to North America, and the Min Dynasty was also immigrating to the Min Dynasty. Qi Rui, one of the key figures in the purge of the United States, did the opposite, and in July 1895, he took his fiancée, who was about to turn 18, to Beijing by boat. I haven't seen my father Wei Ze take any action to promote Qi Rui's recovery, which makes Qi Rui himself feel a little surprised. This time, the marriage matter can be done, and Qi Rui also wants to take this opportunity to have a serious chat with his father to see what his father means by this.

"Qi Rui, is your father really so kind to you?" Bu Ran had been asking the same question uneasily many times.

Qi Rui could think of Bu Ran's uneasiness, and he smiled: "Have you heard of my father's atrocities?" ”

Bu Ran blinked his eyes and whispered, "He's the one who promulgated the law of untouchables." ”

Unexpectedly, Bu Ran actually brought up this matter, and Qi Rui suddenly had a sigh in his heart. Weeser said that the eyes of the people are clear. Bu Ran's grandfather was an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his rank was not low, so he gathered 'big landlords, traitors, and executioners who slaughtered the people'. This family is very prosperous, and it is not within the scope of the 'Vulnerable Group Protection Regulations', so this family has really been a pariah for almost 20 years. can let the 'chief', who is the founding major general, marry the daughter of a pariah family, although because of a chance encounter of fate, Bu Ran's mother's appearance and temperament can also be imagined.

For the untouchable law, Qi Rui's attitude is, 'I have heard of such a thing', and today that the untouchable law has been abolished, Qi Rui never expected that his fiancée's impression of his father Wei Ze turned out to be this 'untouchable law'. Qi Rui smiled: "When did this happen, can you still remember?" ”

This remark made Bu Ran tremble slightly, and the eighteen-year-old girl wanted to say that the untouchability law had been in place for more than fifteen years. It has only been twenty-six years since the Republic of China. The destruction of the mainstream of society in the Manchu era was so brutal that it was not just that an entire generation lost the opportunity to receive higher education forever, and not just that two generations lost the opportunity to enter the upper echelons of society. What's more, this overt and explicit discrimination has dealt a heavy blow to the self-esteem of these families.

To be designated as a pariah by such a powerful force as the Min Dynasty is an extremely terrifying thing. Bu Ran found that the children of those families around his father had not only grandparents but also grandparents since they were young. It wasn't until she was ten years old that she was taken by her mother to see her grandparents for the first time. Later, she learned that in that year, the Min Dynasty officially announced that it would stop the implementation of the untouchability law. The people in my grandfather's family looked very intimidating, and they all lowered their heads when they walked, and they never dared to speak loudly. Ten-year-old Bu Ran was his father's sweetheart, and at that time he knew what the reason was. When she found out that her cousins were cowardly, she couldn't help but bully them. Then Bu Ran was beaten by his mother for the first time.

Of course, Buran cried loudly, and when she was crying, through the hazy teary eyes, I saw that her mother was also crying heartbroken. Although Buran didn't know why, she knew she was wrong. Later, she learned that there was such a thing as a pariah law. Now that the Untouchability Law has been completely abolished, but when it comes to the Governor of Wei Zedu, it is difficult for Bu Ran to forget that his mother said in a terrified voice: "It was His Majesty the Emperor himself who made the Untouchability Law. ”

Qi Rui knew that the beauty of the beauties' appearance had nothing to do with their inner thoughts, but seeing Bu Ran's pitiful expression because of the fear he felt, he found that his love and pity burst out strongly. knew that Daddy Wei Ze would never target individuals, but Qi Rui found that he actually had a trace of dissatisfaction with Daddy Wei Ze.

Quickly expelling this trace of dissatisfaction from his brain, Qi Rui stepped forward and hugged Bu Ran's shoulder, "This is all in the past, whether you are afraid or not is afraid of things that do not exist." Don't be yourself. ”

Bu Ran leaned on Qi Rui's chest and whispered aggrievedly: "It happened before, won't it happen in the future?" ”

Qi Rui was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem. As a political commissar, Qi Rui has to do ideological work, so Qi Rui didn't know how to answer the questions raised by his fiancée for a while. Buran's fear is not groundless, when the untouchability law was enacted, it was very enforced. Those people in the mainstream society of the former dynasty fell to the bottom after the earth-shaking social upheaval. Why doesn't something that happened once come back a second time?

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Rui felt that his emotions had finally broken free from the pity and cherishing the jade, and then he suddenly realized that this question was actually very easy to answer. Touching Bu Ran's long hair with his hand, Qi Rui smiled: "Because the exploiting class of the old era no longer exists." Institutionally, cognitively, the old system has been completely eliminated. If anyone still wants to restore the old system, it is impossible. So the old untouchable laws will never be revived again. You don't have to worry. ”

"Really?" Bu Ran looked up at Qi Rui, and his beautiful appearance was brightened.

Qi Rui found that he had not recovered his reason for a long time and was about to disappear in front of such a beauty, so he couldn't help but look away. Qi Rui even felt that his state of mind was very shameful. However, after a while, Qi Rui turned his head, looking at such a beauty is really very satisfying. Now is not an office incident, Qi Rui decided to follow his own ideas.

Mature and busy routes, newly built ships, the voyage went smoothly. Qi Rui and Bu Ran arrived in Tianjin, and then took the train to Beijing. Seeing his father Wei Ze, Qi Rui didn't have time to introduce Bu Ran, but he saw his mother staring at Bu Ran intently. Daddy Weser also looked at it seriously. Bu Ran didn't have shyness or stage fright under such a gaze, she stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wei is good, Aunt Qi is good." Uncle Web, my father misses you so much that he asked me to bring you a letter. ”

Wei Ze took the letter handed over by Bu Ran, and then praised happily: "I really didn't expect that Bu Zhengtu could give birth to such a good little girl." He...... He's so capable! ”

After Wei Ze finished speaking, Qi Hongyi stepped forward and pulled Bu Ran to look up and down carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed. "I saw your father when I was in Guangdong, your father...... Gee...... It's incredible. ”

Bu Ran has long been accustomed to others praising her beauty, so the little girl replied calmly with a modest beauty: "Uncle, auntie, you have won the award." ”

Wei Ze recovered quickly, and he gave Qi Hongyi a look. Qi Rui also woke up like a dream, quickly turned around and took out a thick red envelope from the sofa. Looking at that thickness, Qi Rui believed that it was about 10,000 yuan in meeting money. However, he suddenly had a doubt, whether it was a hundred or ten dollars?

"Thank you, Auntie." Bu Ran showed the politeness and kindness of everyone's ladies who people liked very much.

"Buran, sit! Sit! Weeser beckoned everyone to take their seats in the living room. The meeting with a good atmosphere began.
