King Hua glanced at Liang Ji and didn't say anything, then he took the fold of the construction debt bill presented by Liang Ji, and after reading it, King Hua put it down.

"It's just some money, find a way to stabilize it, the provincial government proposed to take the land to offset it, I think it's okay, but it can't be around Zhaojia, you can talk about it this time, and you can fight for as much as you want." King Hua waited for a while and looked at it again, and said: "Those who took pictures were sent to the port, let the Central Fleet look at them, and put them on the place, I am afraid that they will be used." ”

Liang Ji said, "Yes." ”

Diplomatic matters are not a new thing for the empire, except for Mo Hu, several people in the trial committee have been in charge of foreign affairs, not to mention that Hua Tianxiong was mentioned in the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, the empire still understands international rules when dealing with foreign affairs.

For example, this time, it is a foreign negotiation, but it is actually a diplomatic matter, but it is difficult for both sides to talk about it.

Germany, France, Britain, and the United States are all diplomats, and even a French vice consul has arrived. However, it is interesting to note that in Europe at this time, the United States was having a good time between Britain and France, while Germany was competing with Britain and France.

The two sides sat down, and the international side sat five people, representing the five countries, with Teoduro in the center. On the imperial side, King Hua is in the center, Liang Ji is on the left, Lu Dake is on the right, and Dove is often on the left.

After sitting down for a few minutes, neither side said anything.

King Hua's face was displeased, after all, he had never been so left out, and he didn't speak at this moment.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Hua fell yesterday." Teoduro came up and asked, and the rest of the countries laughed as well. King Hua has been admired since he was a child, how could he have suffered such a scene, and his face turned even colder.

Liang Ji knew very well how King Hua felt at this time, and said: "Speak well, he is just talking with the empire, if it leads to the escalation of the foreign affairs of the two countries, it will not be able to be lowered in a word, Ambassador Teodulo, you should be clear." ”

"Our country has already killed 81 people in this chaos, how can you let us talk well?" The representative of the United States spoke.

"Compensation by personnel." Liang Ji said.

Teoduro glanced at the dove, the dove looked at the American representative expressionlessly, but his eyelids suddenly trembled, Teoduro understood what he meant at this time, and said loudly: "The compensation is over?" Do you know how much the economy of several of our countries has suffered because of the chaos at this time? ”

King Hua was so angry at this time that he didn't have the heart to make eye contact at all, and he didn't pay attention to the dove attendants around him. Before Liang Ji could refute, Teoduro said again: "There are also a large number of construction debts in our hands, do you know, you are in this mess, how much have we lost in the trading place?" The compensation we are talking about now is not the same, it is an all-round compensation! Speaking of Portugal alone, 100 million taels of silver were lost! ”

"Don't deceive too much!" Lu Dake said!

Teoduro shouted, "How much do we deceive? It's you, how does your court manage things, how do you manage it, and how much assets have we invested in Portugal in the north island of the twin islands? Now, it's all in vain! ”

Liang Ji replied: "There is chaos in China, and there is no precedent for the domestic government to compensate foreign governments." ”

Teoduro: "Okay, then whoever gets the North Island will recognize the compensation given to us, and we will recognize it!" ”

"How do you speak, although my imperial government has lost some land at this time, it is only for a while! What recognition, you tell me what is recognition! King Hua said with some annoyance.

Teoduro: "Your Highness, to tell you the truth, there are only a dozen countries in the world, and those sitting here now all represent their respective countries, and if our five countries recognize that country, that country will be considered independent!" If you don't recognize the reparations, we'll ask the people over there, and if they do, we'll declare them independent! ”

King Hua was stunned for a moment.

The dove waiter felt that the opportunity was right, and with a roll of his eyes, he said: "We want to talk about compensation, not talk about it, you are asking for a price, and we will pay it back on the ground." 100 million taels of silver, or a little more realistic. In addition, under the current chaos, all the rules in the land to be recovered have been broken by mobs, and if they are recovered, some of the original construction projects will be much less troublesome, so the construction bonds are not without appreciation. ”

"We don't want you to promise us anything, we want real money! Besides, you don't know if you've beaten these mobs! How many days, if you could have fought, you would have occupied it a long time ago! The representative of the United States also shuddered.

The dove glared at Teoduro, who immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Yes, we have no illusions about you now, and if you are recovered, you will lose the North Island!" ”

When Hua Wang heard this, he slapped the table, got up and walked out.

Liang Ji also hurriedly stood up and followed out the door.

Lu Dake glanced at the dove attendant, and then at Teodulo, and said coldly: "I'll take a break for a round, tomorrow at 10 o'clock, a round will be held, and I hope you can talk in some way to solve problems." ”

After saying this, he went out with the dove attendant.

The representatives of the other five countries looked at each other and got up and left.

The first negotiation broke up after a few minutes, much to everyone's surprise.

King Hua didn't say anything, and went back to the backyard directly.

Liang Ji, Gu Changshi, and Lu Dake stood in the courtyard of the palace and discussed.

Lu Dake asked a little hurriedly: "Now that the first game is collapsing, what should I do next?" ”

Liang Ji waved his hand and said, "Gu Chang is serving you in the Twin Islands Maritime Affairs Division, what contact can you have with these people on a daily basis?" ”

"The villains do have trade contacts with the shops of these countries, especially Portugal, where the Maritime Department is the main trading partner." The dove attendant saluted.

Liang Ji snuffed, sneezed firmly, and said with some comfort: "I remember, that Teodulo, you can contact them privately to see if you can stabilize them and find out the truth." ”

The dove waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Wouldn't it be bad for me to meet them privately as a negotiator?" I heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate had sent an inspection team to North Island. ”

"You don't have any baggage, this is also to solve things as soon as possible." Liang Ji thought for a while and then said: "If you can explain to the end, you can be regarded as a hero, I and Governor Lu will testify to you, you went for official business, not to communicate with foreign countries, presumably the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not say anything." ”

After saying this, Liang Ji felt that it was still a little less, so he added: "This time Qin sent down to solve the problem, not to punish anyone." Go ahead, I'll wait for Your Highness to feel better, and I'll report later. ”

The dove Chang Shi nodded and went out with Lu Dake.

Just as he was about to walk to the driver's place, Lu Dake pulled the dove attendant and whispered: "This time the root of the matter is in the duty-free port, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has come down, and we can't escape from it, what should we do?" ”

The dove often glanced at Lu Dake, and said: "Governor Lu, you have to be clear, where the root is, it is not what you say, but what Qin Cha said, do your current errand well, and with the credit, Governor Lu can still be the governor in the future." ”

"If you did what I said about the tax exemption policy at the beginning, why did you do this?" Lu Dake preached.

The dove attendant ignored Lu Dake, got into the car, and said: "You think about it first, you want to be the dog of the king of Chu and the official of the empire." ”

With these words, the dove waiter left.

3 p.m. Twin Island Bank North Island Branch State Guest House Wu Cao Hall

Cong Wenzhao took off his shoes and sat on the soft couch at the top, with a beaded curtain in front of him, which had a taste of listening to politics with a curtain.

Lin Ding and Teodulo sat at the bottom.

Cong Wenzhao: "It's right that you don't see the dove now, the time is just right." How much did you throw this time? ”

Teoduro said with a smile: "Listen to President Lin, I didn't throw much, it just caused panic, but it didn't collapse, and the five countries threw more than 20,000 shares of bonds." ”

Cong Wen Zhao asked Lin Ding: "Are you sure you won't disrupt King Chu's plan?" ”

Lin Ding: "More than 20,000 shares of bonds, the Twin Islands Bank itself eaten, but the impact on the bond market is still there, the imperial government bonds fell 4.7% in the London trading market this afternoon. ”

Cong Wen Zhao said with a smile: "4.7% is enough to make those old guys nervous, and it can also make King Hua not be so arrogant." ”

"What do we talk about next?" Teoduro asked.

"Don't move the bonds, you start to promote the sale of assets, but don't really sell, just let the Twin Islands Bank take an account, mainly to make the society panic. You and the dove can meet tonight, and if you want to talk about grain, Lin Ding will give him the amount of grain stored in the provincial treasury. From Wen Zhao preached.

Teodulo took the grain list handed by Lin Ding, and said with a smile: "There is no problem. We also want to make money. But isn't it too slow to make money from grain? ”

"If you want to make money, we will create another 2 million shares of construction bonds, and while the inspection team of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still in the future, your five countries will eat 1 million shares, and our cooperative companies and foreign business associations will eat 1 million shares." From Wen Zhaodao.

Teoduro was a little puzzled: "Are these 2 million shares silver shares or national currency shares?" ”

Lin Dingdao: "National currency shares, one share is equivalent to 150 yuan. ”

Teoduro was a little embarrassed and said: "The more than 20,000 shares we sold today are all silver stocks, and one share is 200 taels of silver. ”

Cong Wen Zhao said: "You don't want to buy it." ”

Teoduro froze.

The empire has always been a dual-currency system, in which silver and currency circulated at the same time, which was an important result of the "reform of the state system". Officially, 1 tael of silver was cashed into 1 yuan of national currency, but because of the vast area of the empire, in order to speed up the time for currency to replace silver, the authority to print currency was delegated to 17 banks and ticket numbers, and the requirements must meet the requirements of the bank or the deposit silver in the ticket number.

This was a good policy in line with the law of development, but because of the deepening of the control of the four kings over the locality, after several rounds of integration, in the past two years, five major banks in the empire have been formed to issue five major currencies, and the scope of these five currencies is the same as the jurisdiction of the military region, the royal currency (central), the southwest currency (King Qi), the northern currency (King Huai), the peninsula currency (King Luo), and the currency of the Twin Islands (King Chu).

As long as it crosses regions, silver must be used, which is why financial settlement is still based on silver. The four kings are not good at stubble, and the ratio of this currency to silver is difficult to maintain, and the most valuable currency is the peninsula currency issued by the Luowang Peninsula Bank in the best economic area, which has maintained a ratio of 1:1.

As for the national currency of the king of Chu, it is even more mysterious, floating every day, basically maintaining a silver ratio of about 1:5 to the currency.

Therefore, Teodulo was stunned, the silver stocks of the Twin Islands Construction Bond can still maintain their value, but the national currency stocks, Xuan!
