Chapter 33: Live Yourself

Is it to live in the name of Emperor Xianfeng or to love Xinjueluo. The name of Yi Su is a problem for ordinary people to live freely and freely. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xianfeng thought: Obviously, the Japanese minister is happy, happy, and he can live freely. But I am rich in the world, but I can't live myself.

After thinking about it, Xianfeng said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and ask me about the military aircraft department, Aixin Jueluo. In the Battle of Tongzhou, Yi Su beheaded seven foreign soldiers and two foreign officers. It should be added to the ninth level, the actual two levels, and the reward is 3,100 taels of silver, why hasn't it come down yet? Is someone greedy for ink? ”

"Slag." The chief eunuch was already sweating profusely after hearing this, the name of this Yisu is about what Xianfeng called, what is the matter with others calling it that?

Waiting for Xianfeng's dictation to reach the military plane, the military plane was also in a hurry, Su Shun read and looked at Hanchen in the military plane and asked, "Who knows what the Lord is going to play?" ”

Du Han, the son of the emperor, was old in his studies, and replied: "There is already a precedent in the previous dynasty for this matter, so you can just do it." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone also remembered that Zhu Houzhao, the former emperor of Wuzong, killed several Mongolian robbers at the border pass, and made himself a general and chief military officer. This can indeed be cited as an example.

Soon the will was written, after the palm seal eunuch used the seal, the chief eunuch trembled and held the holy decree to pass the decree, and when the chief eunuch came back to the heart palace, the incense case here was placed, and when he saw the holy decree coming, Xianfeng knelt on the ground and shouted: "The grass people love Xinjueluo. Yi Su took the order. ”

Originally, this sentence should be recited after the holy decree was spoken, but Xianfeng saw this situation, and he didn't dare to come to deliver the decree without reading it first.

Sure enough, as soon as he shouted like this, the chief eunuch also remembered his errand, and turned slightly sideways and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Zhenghuangqi Ding Aixin Jueluo. The battle of Yishu Tongzhou beheaded seven foreign soldiers, two officers, and added the rank of deputy thousand households from the fifth grade to the Shenji battalion and the ninth rank of foreign commission. The reward was three thousand one hundred taels of silver. Chin this. ”

Xianfeng clasped his head again: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

After getting up, Xianfeng happily picked up the holy decree and looked at it, and after reading the holy decree, he looked at the crystal top brought by the little eunuch beside the chief eunuch and the five-grade official uniform of the martial arts embroidered with a bear.

After Xianfeng put on the five-grade military attache uniform, he remembered: "What about the silver?" ”

The chief eunuch immediately picked up a bag from the tray held by the little eunuch: "Long live the lord, it's all here." ”

According to Xianfeng's idea, more than 3,000 taels of silver is 200 catties small, how can this be, but at a glance, you can understand that there are three pieces of official silver for 20 taels, 3 pieces of official silver for 10 taels, and 2 pieces of official silver for 5 taels. Then there were 30 silver rolls of 100 yuan each issued by the Nissin Bank.

The front of this silver round scroll is an intricate security pattern and the three characters of 100 silver dollars. On the back, it is written that this volume can be exchanged for 100 yuan of silver from the Nissin Bank in the capital or 60 quintals of rice from the Jinwei Nissin United Grain Store.

Xianfeng: "I remember that the Japanese silver dollar is lighter than one tael of silver, right?" ”

The chief eunuch: "Back to Long Live Lord, yes, one tael of silver is ten coins, and the weight of a Japanese silver dollar is seven coins and two cents." However, the Bank of Japan linked the silver dollar to the rice, and the Jinwei Nade grain store did not accept the cashier, but only recognized the Japanese silver dollar and bank rolls. So even if a silver dollar is not worth a tael of silver, it is now worth a tael of silver. The Bank of Japan silver dollars and silver dollar rolls are well-made, but they cannot be faked, so they are used as one or two silver in the market, and merchants like to accept them. ”

Xianfeng sighed: "There are so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, even Weng Qing's family can't make money as much as the Japanese." Just by pegging the silver dollar to the price of grain, the price of this small silver dollar has risen by 30%. ”

Chief Eunuch: "Back to Long Live Lord, you also have to have this ability." The grain that Tsue brought by sea was all Japanese cargo ships. It is said that the amount of Nanyang rice imported by Japanese merchant ships into Jinwei is always around 10 million quintals a year, not counting the fruits imported from Nanyang, and others do not have so many sea ships. We also said privately that if there was not so much grain to base upon, the price of the Japanese silver dollar would have fallen long ago. ”

The transportation of 10 million quintals of grain every year was definitely a vast project for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when the canal could still be used, it would transport up to 8 million quintals of grain a year, which would be the top of the sky, and the loss in the middle would have to be one or two percent, and part of the loss would be borne by the peasants and part by the state, fattening the large and small officials and gangs of Caoyun.

However, for the United Shipping Company of Japan, which has hundreds of 10,000-ton armed steam merchant ships, a load of 100 catties is 0.05 tons, 10 million tons is only 500,000 tons, and 50 10,000-ton cargo ships are theoretically transported once in full load -- in fact, they are transported in several times throughout the year, and the rice on the South Sea side is harvested three times a year.

The Qing Dynasty itself didn't even have sea ships, let alone others - you said that the Qing Imperial Navy, which bought a few ironclad ships, was a Bohai Bay bathtub fleet, and it would not go to the far sea to defend the safety of Gyeonggi.

Xianfeng, who had changed into a five-grade official uniform, said: "Okay, I'll go out, if someone follows me and is found by me, I will have his good fruit to eat when I turn around." ”

The guards frowned, don't follow, the emperor really had an accident, and these guards should have killed the nine clans alive. Follow it, this obviously doesn't fall well. In the end, I had no choice but to change my clothes and hang far away, constantly changing people.

Fortunately, Xianfeng didn't embarrass them, and he didn't look behind him after leaving the palace gate.

On the street, Xianfeng took the silver to buy things by himself for the first time, and he only felt that the things on the street were so cheap, and it seemed that the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should really be sorted out.

When Xianfeng appeared at the door of Song Erye's house with a jar of wine and roast chicken, roast duck, marinated meat, meat and ham and many other cooked food, Song Erye was startled first, and was just about to kneel down and shout long live, but Xianfeng hugged him: "Our brothers and sons are a lifelong friendship, what are you doing with this false courtesy." ”

Second Master Song thought about it, and it was estimated that the emperor didn't want to leak his identity, so he wouldn't be unhappy. Hurriedly said: "Come on, come on, why do you bring so many things, come on, hurry into the house." ”

Xianfeng entered the courtyard and saw a woman of the same grade as Second Master Song, and hurriedly shouted, "This is the second sister-in-law!" Luo Ning has seen the second sister-in-law. ”

Second sister-in-law: "Who is this?" ”

Xianfeng: "The second master pulled me out of the pile of dead people in Tongzhou." It was a life-saving grace, like a reinvention. ”

Second Master Song added: "It's a matter of helping. ”

Second sister-in-law: "Come into the hall and talk, I'll clean up the food, and your brothers will talk while drinking." ”

Xianfeng: "I'm troublesome to my second sister-in-law." ”

Entering the house, Xianfeng asked, "Has the second brother's reward come down?" ”

Second Master Song: "It's down, add the second level of strings, and the general manager of the ninth grade foreign commission." ”

Xianfeng: "The second brother used to be white. ”

Second Master Song: "No, this time I have half an official body." ”
