"So Your Majesty, with the meaning of Weichen, Your Majesty might as well agree to the request of the British envoy." Zhou Chang said.

"What about the opinions of a few Aiqing?" Zhang Lingyang did not rush to nod his head, but continued to ask the opinions of several other people.

"Weichen supports Zhou Shangshu's opinion!" Li Tai and Zhu Yang stood up and replied.

As for Zhu Kaishan, Li Guangtai and others, they stood there silently without saying a word.

The attitude couldn't be more obvious.

"Sun Aiqing, what is your opinion?" Zhang Lingyang looked at Sun Qicheng, who had not spoken since entering the hall, and asked.

"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's family matter, and it is inconvenient for Weichen to express his opinion." Sun Qicheng said lightly.

This is also Ning Guofu's consistent attitude towards the world.

For military affairs, they are fighting to the end.

And other things, more precisely, related to the royal family, they never expressed their opinion.

In the more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ning Guofu has always done this.

"Since this is the case, then according to Zhou Aiqing's wishes, three days later, the British envoy Paul will be summoned to the palace for an audience, and I will say that I should do this matter."

"Plus!" As he spoke, Zhang Lingyang turned around and glanced at Xiao Fuzi and ordered: "Xiao Fuzi, you go and tell Victoria, let her start packing her luggage, and once the date is set, send her home." ”

"Yes, long live the Lord!" Xiao Fuzi responded, turned around and just walked out of the temple gate.

At this time, Zhu Kaishan asked Zhang Lingyang: "Your Majesty, the Nine Emperors are still young, I don't know if you want to go to England with Princess Victoria?" ”

"Well...... this" Zhang Lingyang lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "The Nine Emperor Princes are still young, and they can't do without their mother for the time being, so let him temporarily follow Victoria to England for a few years."

After he is sensible, he will be taken back to stay with me for a few years, and then sent back to England! ”

"Lao Chen understands!" Zhu Kaishan saluted and stepped aside.

"But!" Zhang Lingyang thought of one thing, so he said again: "The Nine Emperor Princes are the princes of my Great Zhou, if they live in England for a long time, I am afraid that they will soon forget all about the native language of Great Zhou."

Therefore, Zhu Aiqing selected two great Confucians from the Hanlin Academy to follow Victoria to England to teach the Nine Emperors the necessary etiquette and writing.

In addition, I will also send a few grandmothers, palace maids, and eunuchs to follow and take care of the food and clothing of the Nine Emperor Princes.

That's all, do you have any other opinions? ”

"The ministers have no opinion!" The crowd replied.

"That's good!" Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Zhang Lingyang nodded and said, "Since there is no opinion, you Aiqing should go down first!" ”

"Wait for the resignation!" Seeing Zhang Lingyang rushing people, everyone left the main hall and left the palace one after another.

Three days later, Zhang Lingyang summoned the British envoy Paul to the palace for an audience and agreed to Princess Victoria's return to her home country.

After another three days, Victoria, who was the imperial concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty, held the Nine Emperor Princes, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and slowly walked out of the palace in a carriage, and after leaving the north gate of Luoyang City, he took a boat at the Yellow River ferry and went to Songjiang Mansion through the canal.

After arriving at Matsue Mansion, the group changed to a sea boat and headed to England.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

On this day, the Jews, who had already established themselves in the Middle East, sent envoys to the Great Zhou Dynasty to implore the Great Zhou court to sell them weapons, ammunition, and some necessary industrial equipment.

Although the Jews succeeded in establishing a state in the Middle East, the situation was not stable.

Next to the Jewish state, the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, with the support of the countries of Europa, has always eyed the Jewish state.

Moreover, the Jews have just established a state, and the country can be described as poor and white, and they want nothing, so they will repeatedly beg for the support of Da Zhou.

Among them, the main ones are weapons, ammunition and industrial equipment.

In the Middle East, the most famous resource is oil.

But in this era, oil has no role at all, and there are no minerals in the Middle East, such as coal, iron, and copper.

The Jews wanted to get their hands on these minerals, and apart from buying them from abroad, they were left to plunder.

But to the west of the Middle East is Africa, to the north is Europe, and to the east is Central Asia and Tianzhu under the control of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, there is no way to talk about plunder.

Expanding eastward, and then infringing on the interests of the Great Zhou, the Jews did not dare to do.

Breaking north into Europe, the Jews did not have the courage to do so.

As for Africa?

Every inch of Africa was a colony of the European powers, and the Jews did not have the audacity to grab it.

Therefore, the Jews had no other way out than to purchase from the Great Zhou.

The reason behind this is that the last time the Jewish consortium used a series of financial means to greatly damage the economic vitality of the European countries, and they have not yet recovered, how can the European countries sell mineral resources to the Jews?

It would have been good if we hadn't taken the opportunity to destroy the Jewish state.

The wealth accumulated over hundreds of years was once plundered by the Jews by financial means. And the Jews took these gold and silver and bought all kinds of supplies in the Great Zhou.

So in the end, the gold and silver of Europe still flowed into the pockets of Da Zhou after all.

It is well known that the currencies of European countries are mainly based on the gold standard, while the Great Zhou is based on the silver standard.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of gold in European countries, and under the instruction of Zhang Lingyang, the trade settlement between Dazhou and European countries has been quietly changed to silver as the monetary unit.

This means that if this settlement method of using silver as the trade currency persists for a long time, European countries will gradually transform into economic markets dominated by the silver standard.

At that time, gold will only exist as a precious metal and gradually lose its monetary value.

Of course, Zhang Lingyang's methods are not limited to these.

Under the instruction of Zhang Lingyang, the Royal Bank of the Great Zhou Dynasty began to discover paper currencies in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty one after another, namely one wen, two wen, five wen, ten wen, twenty wen, fifty wen, one hundred wen, two hundred wen, five hundred wen and one or twenty currencies.

However, in the beginning, the implementation of paper money did not go well.

The general public thinks that it is more secure to put a handful of copper coins and broken silver on the body.

Zhang Lingyang's opinion on this phenomenon is very simple, the court officials' salaries are distributed in paper money.

As for commercial promotion, it's actually a lot easier.

Because in the past, the bulk commodity trade of the Great Zhou was settled by silver bills.

It's just that under Zhang Lingyang's instructions, the appearance of the silver ticket has changed. They can withdraw the same amount of money from the Royal Bank anyway, so why wouldn't they?

In addition, the exchange between paper money and metal money, the Royal Bank of Da Zhou did not list any restrictions, so in the commercial field, the implementation of paper money went smoothly.

The only tricky point now is how to promote it to the ordinary people on a large scale.
