Chapter 493: Expanding the Emperor's Harem

Hu Zhen's guess was right, the top level of the English government is indeed discussing how to regulate the financial market, and the blocking of this action is:

First, many people are worried that after the implementation of capital controls in England, the financial market will lose its vitality, and no one will be willing to invest their own funds in the financial market, and the financial market will become a backwater.

Second, the forces in the financial and banking circles strongly oppose this kind of market regulation, which is a very terrible force, and even the two great bulls of Rosebury and Salisbury dare not act rashly.

Third, the most important reason is that Roseberry is only a caretaker government, and he only needs to wait for the Chinese Empire to approve the contract before he can step down, and he can't take this risk.

However, the situation in the financial market has plummeted, and the financial market is about to end, so that the top management of England has to start a serious discussion on this matter.

Of course, this kind of information can't be hidden from the intelligence department of the Chinese Empire and the eyes and ears of the two major groups of Ou Lang and Frodo.

Under Hu Zhen's instructions, the supercomputer system quickly calculated the most reasonable plan for the funds controlled by Hu Zhen, formulated the price values of almost all high-quality stocks and bonds in the English financial market, and determined the funds invested.

According to this plan, Hu Zhen ordered the two major capital groups of Oulang and Frodo to push up the prices of these stocks and bonds to around this value.

Sure enough, the prices of these stocks and bonds were pushed up, which quickly stabilized the psychology of the English people, especially those businessmen who held large sums of cash, and turned back to the stock and bond markets, greatly pushing up the market.

The capital under Hu Zhen's control took the opportunity to sell a batch of stocks and bonds in exchange for cash, gold, silver and other assets to withdraw from the English market.

The financial authorities in England feel that things are very strange, but in this era, there is a lack of technical means, and there is a lack of tools such as computers, so it is difficult to calculate the flow of funds in a short period of time.

Soon, news finally came from the Chinese Empire that they had agreed to ratify the Sino-British Peace Treaty.

People in England behave differently.

Some people finally feel at ease, such as Salisbury and other high-ranking figures, they believe that the English Empire has finally ushered in a long period of peace, and should firmly grasp this precious time, use a strong industrial base, absorb the new technology of the Chinese Empire, build a new English army, and when the time is ripe, once again unite the major European powers to defeat the hateful Chinese Empire.

But the majority of the English people are in endless grief, they think that the British Empire is like a phoenix that has been plucked by the Chinese Empire, and now it is almost roasted by fire.

The English Empire, with a population of only 40 million, was mobilized by tens of millions of patriotic people to take to the streets to protest against the caretaker government's signing of a traitorous treaty with the Chinese Empire, which humiliated the country, and had large-scale clashes with the military and police.

Rosebury was now a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water, he ordered the resolute suppression of those who tried to overturn the peace treaty, and proposed to Salisbury that he had fulfilled the responsibility of the caretaker government to sign a peace treaty with the Chinese Empire, and that it was time to leave it to Salisbury's Conservative Party.

Salisbury originally wanted this Roseberry to be a substitute for the dead, but now that the peace treaty had been signed, he pushed Roseberry out of power and ousted him from power, so that he could give an account to the angry patriotic people of England.

While the political game was still playing in England, the capital under Hu Zhen's control once again set off a wave of stock and bond markets, and swept away a staggering amount of wealth in a lightning flash.

Salisbury thought it was strange that someone must be playing tricks on the financial markets to make this strange situation.

So, after Rothbury's resignation, Salisbury came to power again, and decided to start managing the financial markets with an iron fist, imposing a strict registration system for all capital to find out where the money went.

But at this time, under Hu Zhen's arrangement, the two major capital groups of Oulang and Frodo had already made a layout, and all the funds that should be withdrawn had already been withdrawn, and the funds that were not withdrawn planned to lurk for a long time, slowly steal the wealth of the British Empire, and only launch a fatal blow to the British Empire when necessary.

In the end, the British Empire did not seize any of the controls of the capital group under Hu Zhen's control.

The major powers who learned of this news only woke up from a dream at this time, and realized that the situation in their own country was completely similar to that of the English Empire, and it was probably someone else who had brought down their financial markets.

As a result, countries have followed the example of the British Empire and implemented strict management of the capital market, in addition to the invisible hand of the market, they also extended the visible hand of the government to implement strict management of the financial market.

However, when Hu Zhen, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, ordered the completion of the withdrawal of funds from the English Empire, he had already completed the layout of the financial markets of various countries, and the actions of various countries could not have any impact on the transfer of funds under his control.

However, when various countries were carrying out strict market management, they discovered a big problem: not only are there serious shortages of gold reserves in their own countries, but also precious metals such as silver and copper are also seriously insufficient.

Where have all the precious metals gone?

Meticulous investigations were carried out by various countries, and the clues were discovered: gold, silver, copper and other precious metals have flowed into Swiss banks!

Although Switzerland claims to be a permanently neutral country with a well-developed banking sector, its territory is small, with an area of only 41,285 square kilometers, and it is a landlocked country, so it is impossible to store a huge amount of money of tens of thousands of tons of gold.

Countries have sent people to ask the Swiss government who has transferred huge amounts of capital to and from Switzerland.

However, the countries received a reply from the Swiss government: Swiss banks have always adhered to the principle of confidentiality of bank customers, and there is no comment on inquiries from countries!

In fact, the flow of gold, silver, brass, and funds is of course directed to the Chinese Empire, and the major Swiss banks are naturally well aware, but most of the Swiss banks are controlled by Hu Zhen's command capital, and under the inertia of the good reputation of the Swiss bank for hundreds of years, of course, no one will say a word about it.

This time, the Chinese Empire made a lot of money, and the European organization of the Combined Fleet to expedition the Chinese Empire, but unexpectedly, the Combined Fleet was completely destroyed, and the Chinese Empire seized almost the entire Pacific region, and more importantly, the Chinese Empire received reparations from various countries, and the wealth rolled up in the financial market was an astronomical amount, which could not be calculated clearly using the tools of this era.

This can only be calculated by Hu Zhen using the supercomputer system on the nuclear submarine: the wealth that the Chinese Empire has brought from various countries has reached three billion pounds, which is 21 billion taels of silver when converted into silver, which is 21 times the indemnity of the Qing Dynasty carried away by the "Xinchou Treaty" in another time and space!

That's a pretty staggering number!

This is the strong foundation of the Chinese Empire standing on the earth!

Hu Zhen ordered various departments of the imperial government to formulate a huge infrastructure construction plan and a national education plan with China itself as the core, and frantically purchased industrial production machine tools from the German Empire.

In the south, west, and north, the pace of war of the Chinese army basically stopped, although the Oros Empire said that it would never surrender to the Chinese Empire, but it did not have the strength to launch a counterattack against the Chinese army, and the Chinese army had advanced to the central part of the Xianbei Land (Otto: Siberia), and also stopped the offensive, and the two sides temporarily entered a state of confrontation and ceasefire.

The only direction in which the Huaxia army maintained its offensive was the Wa State.

After a long period of suffering from the Japanese army, the population of the Goryeo Peninsula was reduced by more than half, and the people of the Goryeo Peninsula finally woke up to the fact that the only thing that could save the Goryeo Peninsula was the Chinese Empire.

As a result, the Goryeo people went to Yuan Shikai, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Goryeo State of the Chinese Empire stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula, to apply for the merger of the Goryeo Peninsula into the Chinese Empire, and implored the Chinese Emperor for permission.

But Yuan Shikai followed Hu Zhen's will and did not express any attitude for the time being, which made the Goryeo people anxious, but at this time, there was nothing to use in the Goryeo Peninsula as a gift, and finally someone came up with a solution:

Ten young beauties were immediately selected from among the remaining nobles of the Goryeo Peninsula and sent to His Majesty the Emperor of the Huaxia Empire, imploring that the Goryeo Peninsula be accepted as part of the Huaxia Empire and that the remnants of the Japanese army be quickly expelled!

Hu Zhen still had to wait, and in the end, the Goryeo people could not stand the ravages of the Japanese army on the Goryeo Peninsula, and fled to the northeast of the Chinese Empire one after another, becoming refugees.

However, the Chinese Empire was unequivocal about these refugees, and immediately dispersed a small number of its women to Xianbeidi, Australia, Nanyang and other places, and in addition to giving Chinese men as wives, a large part of them were resettled across the ocean to the North American continent to increase the population of the Indian Kingdom.

This move of the empire made the people of the Goryeo Peninsula almost collapse, and they could no longer bear it, and repeatedly submitted to Hu Zhen, saying that they would always accept the rule of His Majesty the Emperor and ensure that the Goryeo Peninsula would become a loyal administrative region of the Chinese Empire.

Hu Zhen saw that it was almost over, and then ordered the General Staff to command 300,000 troops to enter the Goryeo Peninsula.

At this time, on the Goryeo Peninsula, the Japanese army and the resistance groups of the Goryeo people fought for a whole year, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining Japanese army was less than 100,000, and there was no way to replenish the weapons and ammunition.

In the face of the powerful force of the Huaxia army, the little weapon of the Japanese army was not even as good as the burning stick, as long as the two sides came into contact, they were immediately beaten to ashes.

In just 15 days, 300,000 Chinese troops swept across the entire Goryeo Peninsula from north to south, wiping out all 100,000 Japanese troops.

For the hateful Japanese army, the Huaxia army will not capture prisoners, but will only completely destroy them physically.

Yuan Shikai resolutely carried out the emperor's will without any discount, and after he entered the Goryeo Peninsula, he immediately evacuated the Goryeo people from the Goryeo Peninsula on a large scale according to the original plan, in the name of avoiding the plague.

Although the Korean people are reluctant to give up on this homeland, they have long been sad to this barren land stained with blood and corpses, and now that they have the opportunity to leave, do not hesitate.

With the support of the Chinese Empire's powerful funds, more than ninety percent of the surviving population of the Goryeo Peninsula left their ruined homeland and obeyed the arrangements of the Chinese Empire to go to their new homeland.

After some arrangement, less than a million people remained on the Goryeo Peninsula, and due to its sparse population and rapid vegetation growth, it soon became the world's most famous green belt, covered with lush forests and an excellent source of timber supply for the Chinese Empire.

After destroying the Japanese army on the Goryeo Peninsula, the Chinese Imperial Army advanced to the area across the sea from the Japanese Kingdom, and the generals hoped that the emperor would order the army to be stationed in the Japanese Kingdom.

But this disappointed everyone, and Hu Zhen did not order the army to march into the Wa Kingdom, but ordered the air force and navy to continue to bomb the Wa Kingdom day and night.

The Japanese government and the opposition hoped that the Chinese Empire would accept the surrender of the Japanese State, but the Chinese Empire had no such intention at all, and could only accept the blows of the Chinese Empire's air weapons day and night, and the population casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

The whole Chinese Empire did not know why Emperor Hu Zhen refused to accept the surrender of the Japanese State, and Hu Zhen's statement was that the Japanese State was a great harm to Chinese civilization and must be resolutely cracked down.

However, since the Emperor had completely annihilated the European Combined Fleet in the South China Sea, his prestige had soared, and no one dared to question his decision, and the navy and air force had to carry out his demands 100 percent.

But the emperor has a little trouble now.

This troublesome thing is that a lot of beautiful women send the emperor to the door.

As an emperor, of course, there is no need to worry about the harem, but there are too many harems and you can't stand it.

Hu Zhen himself thought that having the queen and the imperial concubine was enough to meet his needs, but from the perspective of outsiders, this was far from enough.

Even Empress Han Yuqing and Imperial Concubine Zhong Ling thought that since the emperor was the ninth five, there should be a few more beauties in the harem.

The Koreans sent ten beauties, and at the instigation of the ministers, Hu Zhen selected a seventeen-year-old girl named Li Shanming who was quite suitable for her eyes, and put her in the harem to accompany the queen Han Yuqing.

Who knows, when the various tribes on the grassland heard about this, they actually sent more than 100 grassland beauties, saying that they would ask the emperor to accept them.

A hundred beauties, this is still worth it? What to satisfy these able-bodied little ladies?

Hu Zhen suddenly shuddered with fright.

But Empress Han Yuqing insisted that this could not lose the royal face, and the emperor must select a few or one grassland beauties, otherwise the grassland tribes would think that the empire had something to think of them, which would not be worth it to cause the turmoil in the grassland.

Hu Zhen had no choice but to follow the queen's advice and choose two more grassland girls.

It was still the queen who was reasonable, and she personally came out to the three girls and said that if they were willing to stay in the palace, they would stay in the palace, and if they were unwilling, please leave now, otherwise they would not leave the palace in the future.
