The Akche silver coin was the official currency of Ottoman Turkey, but it was of very small quality.

An Akche silver coin is only 0.8 grams, which is equivalent to about 0.024 Ming Yuan, which is equivalent to 6 yuan.

It is hard for outsiders to imagine that the powerful ministers who had just deposed two sultans now only had these coins in their pockets.

In fact, Akshan, of course, still has a lot of money.

In the previous cement corruption case alone, Akshang earned at least 300,000 yuan, equivalent to 75 million yuan.

It can be said that the wealth possessed by Akshan is definitely enough for an ordinary Ottoman shepherd to eat and dress for tens of thousands of lifetimes.

It's just that among the money, hidden at home, it was either snatched by the damned Armenians or swept away by the defecting servants.

Fortunately, at least a small amount of money has been deposited anonymously in the British Schroder Bank and the Daming Royal Savings Bank.

In the troubled times, betting on both ends is a necessary cultivation as a child of an old nobleman.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the change, and now after the Russians enter the city, the Istanbul branch of the Daming Royal Bank has been ordered to close, the vault has been looted, and the bank staff have been imprisoned along with the Ming minister in Istanbul and other diplomatic personnel.

Together with Abdul and others, they will be tried by the Tsar himself on August 15.

This is a clear and flagrant violation of international practice not targeting diplomats.

In ancient China, there was also a saying that two armies fought without fighting.

The British, who have always claimed to be defenders of the international order, did not raise any objection to this.

In particular, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill Sr. angrily pointed out that his third son was in Beijing to serve as the British Empire's minister to the Qing Empire, and as a result, he was brutally punished with "linchi" by the Ming.

It was the Ming people who first openly undermined international norms and set a bad example.

But a spokesman for the Daming Honglu Temple was quick to point out that Joseph Churchill's actions in Peiping were extremely inconsistent with his status as a diplomat.

There is ample evidence that he was involved in several immoral cases, and was directly involved in the British army's engagement with Ming vassals, and was a clear war criminal, not a diplomat.

In addition, the Ming vassal states also gave Joseph Churchill's children preferential treatment, provided a lifetime employment contract, and enjoyed the civil service establishment.

The Ming envoy to Istanbul was completely different from Joseph Churchill, he was just a peace-loving agent of fermented juices, and he never acted in a way inconsistent with his diplomatic status.

Therefore, the sophistry of the British side is purely reversing black and white, pointing to the deer as a horse, engaging in two sets of standards, and wearing two skins.

The Ming side ordered the Russian government to rein in the precipice, release the illegally imprisoned Ming non-military personnel, and compensate for mental damages, lost work, and medical expenses, totaling 120,000 Ming yuan.

In the end, not surprisingly, the matter became another war of words.

Therefore, it is impossible for Akshang to get money from the Daming Royal Savings Bank in the short term.

As for the British banks, it is clear that the office in Istanbul has long been closed by Abdul, and it is unlikely that they will reopen in the short term.

So at the moment, Akshang has empty savings, but he can't withdraw money at all.

In fact, even if he could, he would not dare to take it.

Under the noses of the Russians, as many mud cows are taken into the sea, and there is no return.

Akshan could only watch as he deposited himself in the Bank of England, depreciating the pound-denominated money wildly, while the money on the Ming side steadily appreciated at an annualized interest rate of 1.20.

Therefore, now Akshan is at the end of his rope, and he has to save even the money for paying the subway tickets for his servants.

Akshan lowered his hat a little and held the collar of his woollen robe as upright as possible.

Mahmoud II, Abdul's father, introduced a dress reform in March 1829, ordering official members to stop wearing the traditional Ottoman military uniform, but to follow the example of the West and start wearing trousers and tops, and hats were also required to wear Little Red Riding Hood (Fes Cap FES), and Little Red Riding Hood officially became the official hat.

Although Akshan deposed Abdul on the grounds of disrespect for the teachings and dissoluteness, after the Russians entered the city, he, like other Istanbul, crossed out, Constantinople natives, wore Little Red Riding Hood instead of a turban when he went out, in order to make himself look more Westernized.

The fact that Istanbul had a metro in the seventies of the nineteenth century may sound a bit magical, but it is true.

In fact, this Dunel-Taksim Square tube has a longer history than the Fengdu Underground, and is the second in the world after the London Underground.

However, this subway still holds the world record for the shortest subway in the world until the 21st century.

The metro has only two stops and is 0.6 kilometers long......

0.6 kilometers, the physical test of female junior high school students is more than this distance.

But for the aristocratic lord, this is still a very long way, and there must be a means of transportation.

Akshan walked into the subway station and found that there were many more people inside than expected.

These are not Ottomans, but fresh Russians.

Russia's first metro, the Moscow Metro, did not open until 1935, and the St. Petersburg, or Leningrad Metro, did not open until 1955.

So these Russian buns have never seen the subway, and they come here to see the freshness.

They carried rifles on their backs and low-quality vodka in their hands, filling the whole subway with a pungent smell.

Unlike the London Metro, the Istanbul Metro, because it is only 600 meters away, connects the palace with the aristocratic mansions, to put it bluntly, it is just a toy and an exclusive means of transportation for the aristocracy.

So there is no one peeing and, the air quality here is much better than the London Underground, and there is even a special incense here to keep the nobles happy physically and mentally.

It's a pity that all this was ruined by the gray animals.

Not only did they get drunk, they also excreted everywhere, and even drank incense secretly......

Because the subway has only two stations, the starting station and the final station, the whole line is actually a simple ring with only one train on it.

Even at the aging speed of the Ottoman Metro, three minutes is enough to make a round trip.

It's just that in the past, the train staff here was very inefficient, and they only departed once every half an hour, and they had to stop and pray at the specified time.

But now it's different.

Hordes of Russian soldiers are like children who go to the playground to make a merry-go-round, and after sitting once, they have to sit a second time, a third time.

And new soldiers are coming in all the time.

So the subway driver had to keep driving them in circles.

Of course, it was impossible for these Russian soldiers to buy tickets, and they knocked over the gate with bayonets.

Akshan pulled his turban and lowered his head, and followed the Russian soldiers to prepare for the zero-dollar multiplication.

At that moment, an unbelievable face with a huge Jewish nose suddenly appeared in front of him and winked at him......

Akshan clearly remembered this face, this face, the iconic Jewish nose on this face.

It was he who replaced the Daming high-standard cement to himself at an irresistible price, and it was he who sent himself more than one miraculous Hebrew secret medicine.

In the eyes of the Ottomans, the Jews were nothing more than a bunch of stinking beggars.

Akshan really didn't understand why he risked being here.

Although Russia did not exclude the Jews as the British did, because without the Jews, the Russians would not be able to run the economy at all, but these Jews, who submitted to the Khan of the East, clearly did not belong here.

"My King wants to see you."

Suddenly, the Jew passed by Akshan and whispered, "Get off the subway and follow me." ”

"Idiot, why should I listen to you!"

Akshan was outraged that this contractor, who had never been worthy of licking his boots before, dared to yell at him without honorifics.

But for a moment, he was stunned.

Because he's not talking about the boss, he's talking about the King.

And the only one who can be called King by a Jew is probably the only one alive today......

King Pincy is coming to Istanbul?

In an instant, the hairs of Akshan's whole body stood on end.

He knew that the big one was coming.
