Díaz is personally rich, the high-ranking officials of the Díaz government are rich, but the Díaz government itself has no money.

This is just like in the late Ming and Qing dynasties, when the dignitaries of the court and the local ministers were so rich that only one poor emperor was poor. Mexico's 'poor emperor' is the government of Díaz itself.

This devastated country has become very bad after Dias came to power for the second time, and corruption and huge government spending have put the country's finances into bankruptcy, and it is ostensibly completely supported by loans from the United States and Britain, but all the loans from Britain and the United States are politically conditional, and must be rewarded with Mexico's further opening of the market. As a result, the loans were accompanied by cheap industrial goods from Britain and the United States - Mexico's own low tariffs were simply not enough to protect the country's weak industries. And the local power in Mexico is very strong. Complex issues of class, ethnicity, and religion have become stumbling blocks to the country's progress. Almost all reforms are unlikely to succeed!

Or it is based on the exploitation of the people at the bottom and the enrichment of the upper classes - the scientists, whose 'reforms' seem to have achieved great results, but in fact make the foundations of the Dias government slowly wither until they wither!

“…… Your Majesty the Emperor, Anyone who has ever known the history of Mexico should know that the greatest enemy of the Mexican government and people is not Spain, but the Americans in the north. The war that ended in 1848 cost Mexico half of its territory, and the Americans seized 2.3 million square kilometers of land through this modest war, completing the largest land grabbing in the history of war. The United States has become a great power across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and its momentum has soared. Mexico has lost its original international status and its vitality has been greatly damaged. The United States also gained dominance in the Americas. "Dias uses 'memory of bitterness' to hook up Mexico's common hatred with China!

"In this just punitive war between China and the United States. Mexico is firmly on China's side. Fifteen million Mexicans are looking forward to seeing the United States punished. The lie in Dias's mouth came as soon as he opened his mouth. Nonsense made Liu Xian want to laugh.

"But because of the previous U.S. assertiveness, the Mexican government has largely had to bow to U.S. intentions. The United States and the United Kingdom, as far away as the United Kingdom, will also provide large amounts of money and loans to Mexico in order to strengthen their influence and control in Mexico. Now that the United States has been punished, the British have devoted all their energy to the United States, Mexico has cut off foreign funding and loans, and the demise of American capital in Mexico has also greatly affected Mexico's tax revenues. Now, just halfway through the year, the Mexican government is in a deep financial crisis. On behalf of the Mexican government, I would like to sincerely implore China to lend a helping hand to Mexico in difficulty......"

Díaz's payment of protection money to Liu Siam and now his borrowing from the Chinese government on behalf of the Mexican government are two completely different things. The money of the former was taken out of the pockets of the Dias group and some other forces, but the latter was counted in the public account.

"Want to borrow money?" It was the first time Liu Xian had heard this from Dias. I was stunned at first. Then I thought about it, and it wasn't impossible to think about it. The Mexican peso he got from Dias alone was worth a lot of money, and if Dias didn't borrow much, he would have changed his right hand to his left hand.

As long as it can help Dias stabilize Mexico temporarily, everything is easy to say.

Although in his eyes, the situation in Mexico is already terrible and irretrievable.

Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Liu Xian's face, and he nodded, "Yes." China is well placed to replace the United States and Britain in Mexican politics. "You don't need a hammer to beat a drum. Next, when Liu Xian said that he could re-lend the money to Mexico, Dias's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Father, this group of people is really greedy." Liu Xian's sons are incomprehensible. They don't understand at all, Díaz and other Mexican political oligarchs. When the treasury at home is full of gold and silver, how can the treasury be left without a single penny?

Liu Xian smiled secretly in his heart. Although the son who is still a minor has to read history in addition to receiving school education. And accept some tricks of power and intrigue, but how can you understand the hearts of a group of political and military oligarchs. They will only covet personal enjoyment. His own wealth and nowhere else. There is no money in the treasury. They won't take out a single point. And if there is money in the treasury, he will do everything possible to get ideas in his pocket.

In China, this kind of person is 'not the master'!

"10,000,000 silver pesos...... Your Majesty the Emperor, if you only have this money...... It doesn't seem to be enough! Dias looked at Liu Xian with a somewhat embarrassed face. The Mexican government is now extremely poor, and the tax revenue in the second half of the year may be worse than that of the first half, and 10 million silver pesos is absolutely not enough to run the whole of Mexico. Although this is also a lot of money.

Dias looked at Liu Siam expectantly, thinking in his heart what additional conditions to attract the other party - Dias did not feel that oil was such a key factor, because the oil wells developed by the Americans off the coast of Texas were now all occupied by the Chinese. Even if those oil wells have been destroyed by the Americans, Mexican oil will not be where it once was.

If it wants to continue to get real money from China, the Mexican government will have to make concessions in other areas. Dias pondered whether he could give China the most favorable country, or hire Chinese consultants in relevant departments such as finance and the military......

"£5 million?" Liu Xian pondered, 5 million pounds is close to 2.5 billion Chinese dollars, which is really not a small amount. However, it is not impossible to borrow, after all, Mexico still has the ability to repay - the era of oil has begun!

It is said that since the expeditionary force landed in North America, after sweeping all the way, it has a large amount of foreign currency in its hands. Removing the dollar, which has become waste paper, there are also a large number of pounds, francs, and marks. After all, many banks on the west coast of North America are engaged in international currency exchange, remittances, and loans.

The expeditionary force was only on the west coast of North America, or in San Francisco and Los Angeles alone, and millions of pounds, francs, and marks were collected.

China has almost broken off its ties with the West, and with the exception of Germany, which still has relatively close contacts, the others have been completely severed. And the trade with Germany is mostly about exports and imports. Germany needs rare metals and a large number of soybeans produced in China, and there was raw silk before, but with China's own domestic use, the raw silk trade has been shelved, and some large counterpart trade is only rare metals, soybeans, pig bristles, coptis, etc. China imports as much as it exports from Germany. Maintain a trade balance! Therefore, the foreign currency seized in North America remained in the hands of the North American Expeditionary Force and was not spent.

The reason, of course, is to make it easier to trade with countries in the Americas. No country in the Americas wants to recognize China's Huayuan. In addition to the original US dollar, the only currencies recognized by the countries of the Americas for international transactions are the British pound, the franc and the mark. Even the franc and the mark, many countries do not think so.

"10% per annum for a period of 20 years, with a lump sum repayment of principal and interest. However, if this loan is useful for the import of large sums of materials and machinery, it must be used to buy items produced by the Ming Empire, of course, the price will not be higher than similar products in Europe. "Liu Xian's meaning of 'not higher than' is actually 'not lower than'.

The price of industrial products from Europe and Mexico is not low, and it is much higher than that of American goods. In addition to Mexico's proximity to the United States, the terrain has natural favorable factors, the Americans can have such a huge and far-reaching influence in Mexico, and the dumping of American industrial products in Mexico is also one of the elements that cannot be ignored.

Although Mexico will develop the market for China, it will take time for Chinese goods to enter Mexico. If the Mexican government had come forward to buy large sums of money, it would have made it much easier to open up new markets for Chinese goods.

"That's all?" Liu Siam does not ask the Mexican government to hire Chinese advisers or anything, and he is not interested in meddling in Mexico's internal affairs right now. A hint of joy appeared on Dias's face, the annual interest rate of 10% is not low, borrowing 10 million silver pesos and five million pounds, that is, a total of 7 million pounds, and 21 million pounds will be repaid after 20 years! But twenty years later, Dias is long gone. Where else does he need to think about twenty years later? As for the large amount of industrial products, it is not at all a matter of buying Chinese goods, who is not buying? Anyway, Mexico's own factories can't produce anything good......

"Well, that's all." Liu Xian really doesn't have much demand for Mexico. Anyway, when there is a Gulf of Mexico, as long as China can ensure its national strength, it will not be able to suffer any loss.

"Then thank you so much to His Majesty the Emperor." Dias was very excited. With 10 million silver pesos and 5 million pounds, Mexico has the money to run not only this year, but also next year. In a year and a half, Dias believes that Mexico can also get out of its current predicament.

He will completely suppress the turmoil of local forces for such a long time, and he will also vigorously support the scientific school and vigorously develop the Mexican economy. Especially the oil fields in the bay. The future of Mexico is still his Pofirio. The world of Dias!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we can immediately sign a formal agreement to finalize the loan, and the Mexican government urgently needs this money to run the entire country."

Bofirio is not a tall man. Dias, when he stood up at this moment, seemed to be covered in golden light. The tone is not very fiery, but it seems to contain a strong confidence and success.

The Mexican dictator and dictator, who has been very mediocre so far, finally showed a trace of his style in front of Liu Xian. This is the confidence and elegance that a country controller should have! (To be continued......)
