The man sneered slightly, picked up the dragon beard noodles again, squeaked and ate, and said slowly after eating, "This is still the same sentence, in Sijiu City, if the eyesight is not good, it is easy to offend people, and the four great auspicious people of the Jin merchants have already offended the imperial court?" The Jin merchants and the household department have a good relationship, and the previous silver borrowing and borrowing have dealings with the household department, but this old saying is thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, which is also an old thing in the past when Baozhongtang was in the past, the big guy doesn't know, this Jin merchant is not willing to buy this bond for the imperial court, this reason is also clear, "This person is a gentleman, and his words are neat," What do these ticket numbers do? It is to eat money interest, but the bond of the household department of the imperial court is also to make money for the big guys, one wants to eat money interest, and the other wants to put money interest, originally, it should be a hit, but in fact, the big guys have gone to the household department to buy bonds, and gave the silver to the court, the ticket numbers want to make money, and they must also have silver as the capital, this silver is so much, there is also a number of gold and silver mountains, and the silver of the household department is more, the silver of this ticket number is less, and there is such an interest, isn't this the life of the ticket number? He said to a few people around him who were listening attentively, "The ticket number has never been deposited with interest on silver, but now that the imperial court actually gives interest, isn't this bond just a deposit of silver in the treasury of the household department?" You said that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and the people of the Jin merchants can support this bond of the imperial court, then it is really a hell! ”

"Then according to what you mean, they have been resisting bonds?"

"With the wrong person, do the wrong thing, naturally there is no good fruit to eat, after the West Sage went south, the household department gave Hu Xueyan a ticket number of 80 million bonds to issue, this silver is stored in them, when to use, when to go, this is clear, since you Jin Shang is disobedient, there is no Zhang butcher, I will not eat mixed pigs, find a new person to do it, Hu Xueyan is trying to come to Beijing to do a big job, isn't this a matter of hitting it off?"

Although this person said it simply, the intrigue and fighting in it were shocking and terrifying, "Hu Xueyan has the blue eyes of the Western Holy Master, and I am afraid that he will be the God of Wealth of the Great Qing Kingdom." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's hard to say anything else, I'm afraid it's true that Hu Xueyan is going to get up, and I don't know where the evil wind is coming from," a tea guest wearing a green cloth coat on an errand in the yamen said to his companion, "I heard it a little funny, saying that Hu Xueyan was going to go to Beijing on an errand next, at least a red-topped!" ”

The red-crowned is a senior cadre of the country and the imperial court, "This can't be, right?" His companion said suspiciously, "Hu Xueyan is a businessman, how can he come to Beijing to be an official, let alone a red-topped official?" ”

"I also said so, although it is an evil wind, but the truth is not nothing, he played silk business with the French in Shanghai, in line with the righteousness of the imperial court, didn't the newspaper say it, China's property rights can not be taken away by outsiders, everyone also said clearly, the price is higher, then we can make more money from foreigners, although there are people haunted behind this matter, pulling his hind legs, fortunately, the West Sage came out and saved him, but in this matter, what is his talent, about the West Sage in the eyes, into Beijing, If he is a household official, do you think he has no ability? Not necessarily. ”

The person who finished eating the noodles came up at this time, "This official, not only depends on the ability, but also depends on the qualifications, this Hu Xueyan has the ability, but who will serve a businessman to suddenly appear as a third- or fourth-grade official?" If the people are not convinced, the underground people are easy to make trouble, and if they make trouble, they will not be able to do it well, and it will be difficult for this official to continue to be present in the future! ”

So in the end, the unanimous view is that although Hu Xueyan has the blue eyes of the queen mother, if he wants to enter the court as an official as a businessman, this is definitely just a rumor and cannot be taken seriously. The people at the table on the side were discussing how much they wanted to ask the French how much they wanted and the matter of cutting the land there, "If you want me to say, this ceded land must not be less than that of Germany, the Germans asked France for two counties, but they are really all overwhelmed, it is really France that falls, Germany is full, we can't be worse than Germany, and then we must have at least one county, let us go!" ”

"Didn't the French give up Vietnam? That's a lot more than any county! ”

"Hey, you're not right," the other person hurriedly waved his hand, "Vietnam is not big, and it has nothing to do with the French now!" Guo Zhongtang said very clearly, Vietnam is our subject country of China, although the people of Vietnam are different from our clothes, but they are also the people of the Celestial Empire, Vietnam naturally needless to say, it is naturally our place, where it is the turn of the French to cede what? Vietnam is not French, he is just a bandit, temporarily occupying Vietnam, and now it is justified to withdraw, where is it said that Vietnam was ceded to us? It doesn't make sense. ”

"Then naturally we have to choose another place," a businessman-like person said enthusiastically, the people who eat melons are really disturbed by the recent good news, and the teahouse is really full of people, "I heard that there is a place in Marseille in France, where there are the most shipyards, if you want me to say, our Nanyang naval division has also lost a lot of warships, it is better to discuss with the French, cede Marseille to us, those shipyards, can also build warships to subsidize the sailors." ”

"Marseille is in Europe, and we are 108,000 miles away, and the whip is beyond our reach," an older man shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "France is not Russia in the north, it is close to us, and it is like the North Sea to give us the land directly, they are far away, and it is not easy to fight, but this matter of ceding land, we are not as convenient as the Germans, if you want me to say," he said in a loud voice, "it is better to ask the French to pay more money!" ”

"Don't say it, it's really true! Nothing compares to the silver of the white flowers," a person clapped his hands and said suddenly, "The place is far away from us, so we can exchange it for silver, and it doesn't need much, as long as it is enough to make up for the number that was taken away by the British before, the so-called east is not bright and the west is bright, who told them to be in Europe?" The neighbor took our money, and this France has to pay some back, right? Eh, when Daoguang was in the time, how much silver was taken by the British? Which one remembers the numbers? ”

"Twenty-one million taels!" (To be continued.) )
