Time flies in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Winter is approaching, and there are already a lot of leather goods on the market, and the group of hunters in the north has finally not continued to increase after reaching a certain value. Shipments of leather goods also reached a roughly stable figure.

There is already a lot of China's own furs, but the Russians are still transporting them to China, even if the prices and profits of those skins are getting lower and lower.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival in China, the city of Nanjing is full of lights, and the city of Nanjing will be jubilant day and night, singing and dancing for a few days before and after.

And as the end of the year approached, the residents of Nanjing City also looked more and more to the east - that was to pay attention to the war report in North America.

Compared with the fighting on the west coast of North America, which may be over, the news that the 19th Division of the Yunnan Frontier Army of the Southwest Military Region has entered Burma has not attracted people's attention at all. A month earlier, newspaper restrictions had been imposed throughout China, and news of Myanmar had been wiped out of the newspapers. Tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Chinese people do not know that in this short period of one month, there have been more than 4,000 vendettas between the Mon and Burmese peoples, large and small brawls -- is that a brawl, how can it be a vendetta, the total number of dead and wounded on both sides has reached more than 30,000, more than 100,000 Burmese people were arrested by the Siamese army, and together with their families, it is estimated that no less than 300,000 Burmese people have been taken back to the country by the Siamese. This figure is one-tenth of the number of Siamese nationals.

As for the numbers that could not be counted, and the number of Burmese fleeing as a result, the whole of Myanmar became a hell on earth in July and August.

It is estimated that there are at most a million Burmese living in the territory of Central Burma, of which the Burmese may not even be one-third, and most of the rest are Mon, and a small number of Shan and Chinese.

Two Korean-sized lands, only 100,000 people chatting, and the Mon people, who occupy more than the general number, are still relatively friendly to Chen Han, when the Burmese were in power, they were slaves of the country, so since they are all slaves of the country, why not change to a more powerful master?

Maybe that's what some of the first Mon people thought.

It's a pity that such a powerful victory could not attract the attention of the people of Nanjing, and North America, thousands of miles away, is the paradise in their eyes.

There is a vast land comparable to the entire Central Plains, and there are no people in the wilderness for thousands of miles, only some wild people and millions or tens of millions of bison live there, and there are a large number of wild horses. There are also gold mines, super large gold mines, with a moderate climate and moderate rainfall.

Chen Han's tireless propaganda over the years has long formed a deep-rooted impression in the minds of many Chinese people - a country of God-given countries, and North America is a perfect God-given country.

What does Myanmar compare to the vast future of North America?

In addition, the war situation in North America has not yet been confirmed, and the news that came back only said that the final attack had begun. The 20,000 coalition forces set out from Manzanillo and attacked Mexico City. But what the final outcome will be, the local area is still unknown.

While the war in North America is still fraught with uncertainty, the battle in Burma was settled a month ago, and the heads of their kings were made into wine vessels by Tibetans. Who cares about an established fact?

The citizens of Nanjing are in a relatively neutral position, and almost none of them will immigrate to North America or Burma, so their concerns are also the most representative of the emotional tendencies of the vast majority of the local population.

You must know that Chen Han had already sent envoys to North America in the middle of last month, and at the same time sent troops to Europe earlier. That was all last year, and before China and Britain reached that treaty in Jinghai, Chen Ming sent a fleet of two warships to Europe. In addition to carrying some necessary goods on the battleship, it was to convey to Gao Yanming, who was still stranded in Europe———— all the power was in his hands, and he had all the rights to open negotiations and conclude treaties with the Spanish royal family.

With this trust, Chen Ming still has this old watch.

Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Nanjing City is very lively, and many ordinary people are already thinking about the beauty of the victory in the war. The treasury bonds, war bonds, and land bonds that they bought from the banks and the stock market did not even need to wait until the war was won to receive dividends.

Nanjing is the political center of Chen Han, and it is not the first time that Chen Han has made national debts, war bonds and land bonds over the years, relying on the good reputation of the Chen Han court, Emperor Chen has never pit the small people at the bottom in this regard, and the small people in Nanjing, middle and low-level businessmen, have also contributed their own strength to the imperial court.

Now it's time for them to 'harvest'.

The final outcome of the battle in North America has not yet been reported, but few believe that the expeditionary force will be defeated.

In fact, since August, the value of war bonds and land bonds in North America has slowly risen, and the interest rates of both land bonds issued at a discount and war bonds issued in full have been very low, and it can be said that even if such bonds are used to make a profit, they will not make a few dollars. But who gave China the land now?

The collateral of these bonds, the collateral of those treasury bonds, is the land held in the hands of the Chen Han court.

With the North American war bond in hand, you can use the price of three yuan per acre of land [bond value] to go to North America to get land, during this period, if you are lucky enough to circle the mine, then the mineral belongs to you, and the amount of property tax can be halved.

The price of land based on three yuan per acre of agricultural land is a price that makes many people crazy.

And what about war bonds? It is more restrictive than North American land bonds, and in addition to enjoying all the rights of land bonds, such bonds can also be used outside North America - such as Nanyang, Myanmar and Nanmingzhou, for the icy Xiangzhou and Lake Baikal, and the price of land in Nanming and Xiangzhou is only one yuan per acre. Of course, the mining areas that have been explored are still marked with other prices, but in general, it is much cheaper than buying them directly.

The same is true for national debt.

Therefore, the merchants who buy these bonds are the real source of interest for the small owners of these bonds.

The exchange price of war bonds with a value of only 10 yuan from the bank, and the interest added to a few years may be less than one dollar, but the businessmen who buy these bonds can buy them at a price of 15 or 20 yuan.

It is because the merchants who have twice the premium still have a lot of interests in this gluttonous feast. So, the people who waved money to buy bonds were never just the powerful, the big landowners, but also the big businessmen.

Some people may say that since bonds are so profitable, why didn't these big businessmen just pay for bonds in the first place? Don't they have faith in Chen Han?

Of course not.

No one said that these big businessmen didn't have the energy to buy bonds in the first place. It's just that everyone's financial resources are limited, the liquidity is limited, and people's greed is unlimited. No one will go from 200% or 300% in the past to 100% or 50% in the current profit of a business, and then no one will do it anymore.

It's still a lucrative business, and it's already making a lot of money, but it's less than it used to be.

And this can be regarded as a kind of national interest party, and the audience that makes money is the entire group, not just the top businessmen.

This can stimulate the centripetal force and cohesion of the people of the whole country, and can also enable the national government to forge its own prestige, majesty and credibility, build its own credibility, and cast the national character of the whole country.

Wealth is pooled from the hands of countless people to the state, which then invests this wealth in the war - snowflakes of orders fall into the hands of merchants, snowflakes of money fall into the hands of soldiers, military families. Thus a good cycle is formed.

The entire war cost innumerable, and a large part of the funds raised by these bonds and treasury bonds were also invested in the finances, smoothing out the financial deficits of many imperial courts, and the amount involved in the entire loan body in a few years was in units of 100 million yuan.

These bonds and treasury bonds were converted into land property rights owned by the nobles and merchants themselves, into land capital under the names of large and medium-sized companies and enterprises, into their fixed assets and their respective heritages.

With the passage of time, the growth and development of science and technology, the multiplication of the population, these things will sooner or later be able to earn back huge profits for them. The businessmen may be short-sighted, but these businessmen who have devoted themselves to the bond market have finally fought and merged, and finally existed in a place that could become an indispensable existence in the future.

This time may be long or short.

Maybe the people who are making waves now will become one in ten years and one in 10 years, and one in 100 years later, but this can only say that the business game also requires a long-term vision. The big waves wash the sand, and the real gold is seen. This phrase applies not only to groups, but also to guests.

What Chen Ming wants to do is never to share wealth among the middle and upper classes of society, all he needs is a good cycle of interests.

The imperial court relied on war to seize land, and merchants and magnates 'lent money' to the imperial court to let the army fight, and then part of the land obtained belonged to the merchants and magnates who borrowed money. It's a very healthy cycle of benefits.

The small citizens don't need to see how far ahead, they just see a money, every time the 'gluttonous feast' there are always small citizens who are out early knowing that the bonds in their hands may rise sharply in the future, but they just can't resist the temptation of immediate interests, so that they sell the bonds in their hands to the buyer early, and then watch the bonds rise and go red, calculating how much money they have lost and regretting inexplicably, but when the next opportunity comes, they can't control themselves......

Or it is a strange commodity that has been nested in his hands, and the asking price is so high that he really nests in his own hands in the end.

In this big drama, life is full of wonders.

These small citizens gathered in twos and threes on the riverbank, lakeside, riverside, flower boats, courtyards, and both sides of the building, chatting with each other or really looking at the moon in the sky.

The common people always have a 120,000-point curiosity about the movements of officialdom and the royal family.

The Bagua Party is by no means a unique product of the 21st century, and in this era, the scale of the Bagua Party in Nanjing is also expanding.

Anyway, Chen Han is not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although there is no explicit provision that the crime of speech is not committed, but it is really much more relaxed for the people. And sending a mouth cannon is always the favorite of the little people.

What's more, the current Nanjing City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they are the people under the roots of the imperial city, and imagining the brother of Beijing in the previous life can also reflect the current Nanjing City. Everybody's a joker!

Compared with the officials and nobles who are worried that they will be held accountable for saying the wrong thing, or even lose their official positions, these ordinary people are more courageous and more unscrupulous.

For example, in the upcoming election of the members of the third cabinet, as well as the court push that has been officially implemented, the red line is still drawn to the three grades, whether it is the three grades or the three grades, and they can express their own suggestions on the selection of cabinet ministers. But in addition to the officials of the court officialdom, the nobles can also express their opinions on it now, but they must be earls or above, regardless of whether they are nobles or liujue, at least county counts.

Guijue - the county earl is equivalent to the three products, and the county earl is equivalent to the three products; And so on:

Guijue - the marquis is equivalent to the second grade, and the marquis of the Liujue is equivalent to the second grade. Then there was the duke, but the prince was not among them.

For a certain position, they have the right to recommend candidates they approve, and then the emperor recruits people to gather them and determine one candidate form - five to seven people. Then the Sanpin Wenchen in Beijing and the local government can be nominated for this list.

Of course, this can be done in public relations, but if 'public relations' can turn it into not bribery, it will be a test.

It's a real craft, it's a university question.

China is building this science little by little from scratch, which requires a strong sense of observation and insight into what the other side is thinking and wanting. It may be inevitable to exchange interests, but it will also be of great help to China's politics in the future.

At least that's what Chen Ming thought.

Let him think of the word 'public relations' for himself, if you get rid of public relations corruption, get rid of eating, drinking, entertainment, flirting or bribery, there will only be such a thing as the exchange of interests in Chen Ming's brain.

He himself was ignorant of this. So he can only hope that his ministers will turn their clever heads and complete this proposition well.

And the eldest son of the emperor is really looking for a daughter-in-law, and the whole Nanjing, the whole Jiangnan, and the whole world are staring at this matter. The good deeds in Nanjing City have ranked the ladies of the right age in the capital, which can be said to be bold.

……

Nanjing's Qinhuai River, on the high class of Sifu. In a small room with a closed door, a middle-aged maid dressed as a maid in her thirties and forties was carefully writing down what she had seen and heard in the past few days in a notebook.

"It is extremely wealthy, and every citizen is well-dressed and ruddy-faced. It has been a month since I came to this city, and I have never seen a single beggar, and I have heard that all the beggars and poor people in this country have been sent to the South Seas and the Northeast, North America, and each of them can get five acres of land. Here, white bread is available in every family, and meat is often available.

…… The city was extremely prosperous, the streets were lined with shops, and there were shops in every corner of the city, filled with goods shipped from all over the world. Some of the best things that are hard to find in Europe can be found everywhere here. And the price is several times cheaper......

The whole city was covered with cement and stones, the former paved the streets, the latter with more beautiful pavements than the former, especially the avenue in the middle of the city, which was large enough for ten horse-drawn carriages to run in parallel. It is said that a total of hundreds of thousands of bluestone slabs were consumed. There are many large shops on both sides, and the decoration is very luxurious, most of them deal in high-end luxury goods such as gold and silver treasures, precious silks, jade jewelry, etc., and the total number exceeds 500.

The Qinhuai River is the main entertainment area of the city, where a variety of dramas are performed, acrobatics, puppet shows, acrobatics, shadow plays, storytelling and other operas day and night, and tens of thousands of citizens and businessmen play and relax here every day.

They have an untold population, a well-trained navy and army, as well as advanced weapons and great wealth.

Men here generally shoot guns, because the Chinese government has set up a large number of special shooting ranges in private areas, and it only takes a small amount of money to shoot many rounds of paper bullets here. I can feel that a lot of Chinese men like to shoot guns. Every year, the community also holds shooting competitions, archery competitions, hand-to-hand fighting competitions and weapon fighting competitions, as well as horseback shooting.

The Chinese government has given tremendous support to such events.

On other days, people flock to the stadium, and football is loved by the public. So much so that a league project based on football games has been successfully held in many big cities in China.

............, China has its own beliefs, with indigenous Taoism and indigenized Buddhism introduced from India heavily influenced here, and many streets have small temples and Taoist temples. It is difficult for the light of the Lord to shine here, not only because of the faith that exists here, but also because of the cultural tradition of worshipping ancestors.

Chinese respect their ancestors and hold special sacrifices at multiple times every year, and some rules of the Holy See have touched their bottom line.

I'm a loyal Parisian person, and the only thing I'm glad about is that this huge country is too far away from Europe, but that doesn't give us peace of mind. The earth is getting smaller, this is a saying of the Chinese, and the connections between the continents of the globe are becoming more and more convenient.

Maybe I don't see the day when Chinese will appear in Europe in large numbers, but I think my children, my grandchildren, can always see it.

One day they will appear in Europe, perhaps with the Caucasians as the Spaniards did with the Indians of the New World......

……”

The maid carefully examined what was written, closed the notebook gently, locked it in the cabinet in her room, and finally arranged her clothes, opened the door and walked out.

Then, she's going to work.
