The next day, the Mo family's shop replaced the original uniform price of two taels and three yuan for a case of wine, and put up a low price of two taels in one go. At this time, one tael of silver was equal to a thousand copper coins of the most sufficient condition, and the soldiers often bought wine together, and the people of a class made up more than two taels to buy six bottles and drank it, and then spread it on everyone's head, but it saved two cents of silver--- which together could add a lot of snacks. The old man and the old lady of later generations were able to cheat a lot of money from the sale of health care products for a few eggs, not to mention the lack of material at this time.

For the sake of these two cents of silver, people felt that they had taken a big advantage, and they all ran to tell each other; So, boxes and boxes of wine were moved out of the Mo family's shop. Several others also got a lot of running water, and they hurriedly filled the hole that afternoon (of course, including the cost to fill it).

"The Mo family took the lead in breaking the rules!"

"Stupid him, smash his own job, really!"

"He doesn't want to eat anymore, we still want to eat. Let's go, let's go to the judges! ”

A few businessmen who did not have "bad rules" got the news and couldn't help but go out to Xingshi together to ask for their guilt, of course, before that, they also lowered the price of their shop. However, when he arrived at the door of Mo's house, he ate a closed door.

"Okay, do you want to fold each other? I want to see if your Mo family can't hold it first, or are we us? Several families got together, thinking that they could fight back against the Mo family and a few small miscellaneous fish who broke the rules, so they decided to turn him into an army: early the next morning, the guys of several families shouted everywhere, and the price of each box was reduced by one dollar, one two nine! Although the profit is very small, at least it has not reached the point of depreciation.

"Humph!" Knowing that those people began to fight back, Mo Xiaobei sneered lightly, with the support of Lord Yi, his blood bar is currently in an infinite state, and in this business war, he is already in an undefeated position. Just as the national debt is collateralized by various rights, everything that the loser loses becomes the cost of the winner's borrowing of blood.

At this time, in the vast majority of guilds, merchants could not reach absolute superiority--- if they could reach more than 50% absolute superiority, then the rest would have been slowly annexed by this family, so that this situation could not be maintained. Mo Xiaobei is the same, although he is the de facto head of each industry, but his capital in Yunnan Mansion accounts for at most 20%, and he can't even meet the requirements of the British Empire's second plus third, and when new forces join, it is no wonder that he plans to drink a few sips of soup and pursue greater interests!

In the same way, the guild's control over employees was as rigid as that of later Japan, which adopted the seniority system--- "I am tired to death, I am wheeled, and I will never quit if I jump from here!" "Gai because each family maintains a tacit understanding not to dig into each other's corners, and at the same time, they don't trust these job-hopping people; In a feudal society without the spirit of contract, the so-called loyalty seems to be much more important than money, otherwise there would not be a "family child" that looks extremely ridiculous in later generations. However, all this is based on the guild system that seems to be very stable at present, when the guild system becomes a castle on the sand, these are not cropped, only "car and boat shops", where is there a way out except to go to the black shops in the countryside?

At this time, the black shop is not only the existence of blackmail in later generations, but most of them are directly taking advantage of people's unpreparedness to kill people and rob money. If you have a lot of people, then play with drugs in the meal and so on, but these guys are alone, and when they go to these black shops, they may become slaves!

At this moment, Liu Jun, who was sitting on the roof of the restaurant, did not know that his opponent had already figured out how to eat himself like a vulture, and set up the most luxurious banquet in one of the best hotels in the city, enjoying the food while showing off his financial resources. Six hard dishes, eight hot dishes, eight cold dishes, and a table of banquets is more than twenty taels, which is not too much in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, but in a remote place like Yunnan, it is a banquet level of a state banquet. Liu Jun's capital can only rank fourth in the Chamber of Commerce, but he has a swollen face and is fat, and he has set such a big table, and he also brought a box of liquor by the way.

"This wine is called Ava, and it is a wine produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to supply the heavenly family and reward princes and ministers, and I spent a lot of money to get such a box."

Hearing this boastful remark, everyone present complimented them - not to mention that the taste of this wine is really different from that of the Irrawaddy.

Looking at the bustling street under the restaurant, with the strength of the wine, Liu Jun said in a shocking voice: "Let's talk about the heart, how much capital does anyone have, how much cash, and ten stops can be counted as six or seven stops, right?" In less than ten days and half a month, he will have to start selling shops, and when the time comes, it will be up to him to see who can't plug the hole! ”

Everyone present responded one after another, of course, Liu Jun himself also had a small calculation: on his side, there will always be a few people who can't hold up to sell shops, right? When the time comes, he will borrow some money under the pretense of benevolence and righteousness, and draw his salary with interest......

After eating the banquet, Liu Jun sent everyone downstairs and sent everyone away before going home by himself.

"The proprietor said that it will be sold for one or two dollars when it opens tomorrow! Remember! In the Mo family's shop, the shopkeeper said to the new guy.

……

After the establishment of the General Staff, the functions of the Military Department to usurp the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces were gradually returned to the hands of the General Staff, and this newly established organization gained many powers for military training, logistics, equipment, and personnel. The authority to remain in the military department is almost only the two parts of military orders and intelligence.

After dealing with all kinds of machine affairs, Dou Mingwang raised his head and looked at the large map on the wall--- which used magnets to mark the current location of the various field troops in the recovery area. The new army had five regiments, three and a half regiments in Yunnan, two battalions in Yunnan Province and one battalion in Dali, and the rest of the troops were scattered in companies and cities in major towns. Of course, there were also some native soldiers mixed with them, and they were generally about twice as large as they were.

In Burma, the remaining semi-new regiment (the fourth regiment is a shelf regiment) is stationed on both sides of the Irrawaddy River, and fortunately there are still four regiments of old troops scattered all over the place, so that all kinds of evil remnants dare not move.

After the defeat of Yunnan, the financial problems of the imperial court were not only not solved, but were further expanded. In the second half of this year, when almost all of the military expenditures are settled by the national debts, if the debts cannot be repaid in a timely manner, then half of Yunnan's various government-owned lands and newly opened minerals will have to be handed over to the buyers of the treasury bonds. Even if these merchants were afraid of the imperial court and did not dare to really ask for so much, then no one would dare to buy bonds after that.

In fact, this is Dou Ming's "ditch life and sea heart", and these problems are directly worried about the household department, and indirectly the cabinet, and no matter how it is his turn to worry about the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff.

sighed and turned his head slightly, only to find that Zhu Youlang was standing behind him. Dou Fame couldn't help but be frightened by a spirit. "Your Majesty... These people can't even look down on the General Staff, and the ministers will punish them! ”
