In October, the financial crisis that broke out in the United States soon spread to Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Spain and other countries. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info please search!

Since the current financial crisis began with the banks, stock market, and bond market, the big banks have desperately shrunk their monetary resources in order to protect themselves, resulting in the bankruptcy and collapse of a large number of enterprise trusts and other companies, resulting in an increase in bad bank debts and insufficient liquidity of bank funds, and the unemployment rate in various countries has continued to rise, social consumption is insufficient, and it has become more difficult for enterprises that have not gone bankrupt to sell their products, and enterprises that cannot persist have gone bankrupt one after another, forming a vicious circle.

The Xia Empire's strong navy, strong army, stable political environment, stable currency value and relaxed economic environment of financial order, as well as convenient transportation conditions, attracted a large number of persecuted European Jews, the arrival of these people not only brought a lot of wealth, but also brought a large number of research and development technicians and a large number of skilled industrial workers and merchants, which greatly promoted the development of private enterprises and foreign trade in the Xia Empire.

At this time, the Xia Empire urgently promulgated the "Anti-Smoking Law", prohibiting the consumption of opium and transporting opium in the areas controlled by the Xia Empire and the sea, and prohibiting all opium trade.

This move is tantamount to hitting the soft underbelly of Western countries, especially Britain and France, and directly cutting off the channels for the outflow of silver from the Opium War in the Great Qing Dynasty, making the financial crisis of the European powers even worse.

This is not the anti-smoking campaign issued by the Qing Dynasty, but the "Anti-Smoking Law" issued by the Xia Empire, Britain and France and other countries do not dare to challenge the authority of the Xia Empire now, otherwise there will definitely be a third Opium War.

As Germany followed the Xia Empire to buy a large amount of silver, both the government and the banks controlled by the Junker aristocracy made a fortune in this transaction. Now that the Xia Empire has issued the "Anti-Smoking Law", the German government is the first to stand up and support the decision of the Xia Empire, in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the "Anti-Smoking Law" of the Xia Empire is the biggest blow to Britain and France, and Britain and France are Germany's biggest enemies, therefore, this is also a disguised help for Germany to clean up Britain and France.

Without foreign funds to supplement the lack of liquidity in the banks, the countries had no choice but to desperately squeeze the people of their colonies, and all the colonies were poor, the market was limited after all, and the European and American countries wanted to expand the scope of their colonies, which in turn intensified the contradictions between Britain and Germany, France and Germany, as well as the contradictions between European countries and the United States in the struggle for South America.

In order to exacerbate this contradiction, Zhang Wei decided to continue to increase the fire, so in early November, he asked the Government Council to announce that the import tariff would be raised by 10 points and the import tariff would be reduced to 2 points, regardless of product and type, and this policy would be implemented in full, with the purpose of restricting imports and encouraging exports.

At the same time, the world's largest shopping mall was built in Pontianak at that time, and all the locally produced goods of the Xia Empire and the products with price advantages in the system were put on the shelves, and customers could choose at will, and even Zhang Wei himself felt embarrassed when the price was cheap.

The Xia Empire's measures to raise import tariffs and reduce export tariffs made all countries feel enormous pressure.

Now the Xia Empire is the world's largest exporter of grain, the largest exporter of edible and industrial salt, the largest exporter of hardware, and the largest exporter of daily necessities.

The markets of Japan and the Qing Dynasty are flooded with all kinds of Xia Empire goods, although because of the frontier lease caused some people to boycott the Xia Empire's products, but in these two countries there is no need to pay taxes, and the Xia Empire's product quality is excellent, the price is even more ridiculously low, you can't buy it if you want to, it has not affected the sales of Xia Empire's products at all.

The products of the United States, Britain, France and other countries are not competitive at all in Japan and the Qing Dynasty, they are far away from the Qing Dynasty and Japan, and only the two problems of freight and transportation cycle have stumped most of the merchants.

Now the guns, ammunition, and cannons of the Great Qing Kingdom are purchased from the Xia Empire, and the Xia Empire has assisted some military production projects of the Great Qing Dynasty and began to produce its own bullets and rifles; Other machinery and equipment were also aided by the Xia Empire, and they were rarely purchased from the market; The construction of railways, which required huge funds and materials, not only provided loans and sold materials at low prices, but also provided technical personnel for free, without attaching any political terms, so that Britain, France, the United States and other countries lost a large piece of fat.

The commercial banks of Britain, France, the United States and other countries in the Qing Dynasty no longer have the former glory, and many commercial banks have not received any orders for half a year.

Seeing that the Xia Empire adopted a trade protection policy, various countries began to introduce protective measures for their own enterprises, which further exacerbated the contradictions between countries in the world.

And the Xia Empire is not afraid of this kind of thing at all, now only the market within the empire and the newly opened colonies is very huge, and it is difficult to meet the materials produced by the country, and Zhang Wei needs to buy from the system and from the Qing Dynasty, and there is no need to take the initiative to impact the markets of other countries.

The internal market and industrial development of the Qing Dynasty became more and more prosperous, and many of the materials needed by the Xia Empire to build the Lelang Peninsula Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Xinzhou and Ezo Province were purchased from the Qing Dynasty, because there was no need to go through the customs, so that the Xia Empire and the merchants achieved mutual benefit, which greatly promoted the development of the Qing Dynasty's industry.

The fat of the Qing Kingdom, and it can't be eaten in the mouth, European and American countries itch the root of the Xia Empire's hatred, and they can't do anything about the Xia Empire.

In order to increase the impact of the economic crisis in Europe and the United States, the Xia Empire actively explored new markets, especially to sell cheap grain, guns, ammunition and industrial products, even if it did not make money, it would squeeze the market share of European and American countries and aggravate their financial crisis.

For the traditional markets of Iran, Brazil, Chile and other European and American countries, the Xia Empire increased its penetration into these semi-independent countries, and for this reason, Zhang Wei also specially synthesized a group of spies and merchants with the appearance of personnel from these countries, allowing them to enter these countries as expatriates and expand trade with the Xia Empire.

With the support of the Xia Empire, these people quickly gained a foothold in their own country, and rapidly expanded their market share, squeezing the local currency value of European and American products, which provoked European and American countries to dare not speak out, while the economic crisis in European and American countries is becoming more and more serious.

As for Germany, the Xia Empire adopted a mutually beneficial trade policy, exporting to Germany their scarce grain, salt, tea, spices, pig iron, copper ingots, zinc ingots, tin ingots and other products, while importing products from Germany in which they had advantages, such as machinery and equipment, steel rails and other materials that the Xia Empire could not produce on a large scale for the time being.

The complementary trade with the Xia Empire made Germany taste the sweetness, and it made Europe and the United States and other countries envious, jealous and hateful, why couldn't this kind of good thing fall to their own country?

Germany, which was less affected by the financial crisis, swelled the ambitions of the Junker capitalists, increasing the contradictions with Britain and France for the colonies, which was what the Xia Empire hoped for.

In order to strengthen the strength of the German navy, under Zhang Wei's instructions, in December 1907, at a loss price of 9 million taels of silver (about 1.2 million pounds), two Lanfang-class battleships were sold to Germany, which intensified the British and French hunger against Germany, and at the same time they were also full of hatred for the Xia Empire.
