Winter passed quickly, and spring came.

Li Xiao watched the branches in the yard slowly climb up to the tender green!

That's the case in the north, because of the different climates. The peach blossoms in Guanzhong are all gone, and the branches in Liaodong are still bare.

Li Xiao has just been to these two places, one is for public and the other is for private purposes, and the purpose is related to the dead.

I went to Xi'an to pay tribute to the heroic souls who died in battle, and I went to Liaodong to pay tribute to my dead family.

Although the identities are different, the mood is not so good after all.

Especially in Xi'an, I saw a lot of crying old people, women and children. Looking at the gray-haired old man, and the young child crying bitterly.

After all, war can only continue by burning human lives!

Daming burned more lives, but he also paid a great price.

After reading the report of the General Staff, after three years of war, the Ming Dynasty paid a total of 193,000 casualties.

In a war of this intensity, 200,000 casualties were suffered in three years. But the Ming army annihilated the European coalition forces ten times their size!

Militarily speaking, the record is already very impressive.

No one in the country can say anything about this war loss ratio.

The Ming Dynasty's domestic understanding of the war was entirely from the newspapers. The newspaper has reporters stationed on the front line, and every day they use airships to bring the situation of the war on the front line back to China.

Some of these reports were from both sides of the war, while others were interviews with some of the rank and file officers. There are even some daring reporters who brave the fire to go to the front line to report first-hand news of the war.

Although the casualty exchange ratio is very beautiful, no matter how beautiful the casualty ratio is, it can't hide the fact that Daming suffered heavy casualties.

200,000 casualties, this is like a thousand pounds of boulder pressing on Li Xiao's heart.

Especially when I saw those disabled warriors, the one-legged warriors stood stubbornly and saluted.

The warrior without an arm salutes with his other hand.

There are also those who are blind, and their legs are blown off. As for those who are disfigured and have lost their fingers and toes, that's even more.

After all, there is a murder weapon in the war, and Li Xiao, who has been a soldier for two lifetimes. I've always had a natural affinity for war!

Because soldiers are born for war, and without war, soldiers lose the value of their existence.

But for the first time, Li Xiao was afraid of war for the first time.

He didn't care how many people died in Europe, but the problem was that Da Ming also lost 200,000 athletes because of it.

They are fathers, sons, brothers, husbands!

Because millions of people were affected by their wounds or deaths.

Compared to the population of 400 million in the Ming Empire, one million people does not seem to be a large number.

The Ming court is also a praise of victory.

The Ming Empire not only brought back wagons and wagons from Europe, but also drove back ships and ships of loot.

Moreover, the Ming Empire thus established its position as a leader in the world.

Looking at the world, there is no country that can compete with the strength of the Ming Empire.

Wherever the people of the Ming Kingdom go, they are the most respected existences.

As long as you are a Mingguo person, you don't have any intention of daring to hurt you.

I thought that as long as you hurt a Ming person, no matter where you go, you will die.

In order to kill a murderer hiding in the village, Da Ming can fence the village and then use cannons to flatten the entire village.

As for the people who were implicated, they were not considered by the Ming army.

According to them, the Ming army was only responsible for the lives of the Ming people.

You are not in the consideration of the Ming army.

Everyone agreed that casualties were the price that the Ming Empire should pay for reaching the top of the world.

However, Li Xiao felt that this price was still a bit too much, and if possible, he preferred white prostitution more.

Ai Husheng, who is sitting in front of him, is a person who can make the big understand prostitution.

Twenty years ago, Li Xiao knew that this guy was a genius in business, but he didn't expect him to be such a genius now.

He can actually be self-taught about finance!

"We have already placed 350 million silver dollars in bonds in Europe, of which 200 million have been acquired by Germany.

The rest, completely acquired by the rest of Europe. Spain and Italy have bought the most, and the most surprising thing is that the Swiss have shown a strong willingness to buy.

We never thought the Swiss would be so rich. ”

Ai Husheng sat on the sofa and reported to Li Xiao the results of this trip to Europe.

After Dahonglu Zheng Sen negotiated the preliminary intentions, Ai Husheng personally went to Europe.

This guy was very warmly received in Europe, and he ate Hesse all day long, and when he came back, he seemed to have gained ten pounds all of a sudden.

"350 million silver dollars, this time a lot of things in our country have been solved.

Projects in various localities should also be started as soon as possible. Especially the roads and railways in Yunnan-Guizhou places, remote places will be put first.

Kunming and Guiyang, two places, are also connected to roads and railways no matter what.

In Yunnan, Guizhou, this is a difficult project. ”

Li Xiao nodded, and the bonds of 350 million silver dollars suddenly alleviated the financial difficulties of the Ming Empire.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and build roads can not only allow goods and goods to circulate. Moreover, it can quickly connect the southwest that has always been free from the Ming Dynasty and the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

For thousands of years, in the southwest, it is the toast who has the final say.

As long as the road and railway are connected, people and materials can circulate freely, I believe that those toasts will not have the final say.

In this way, these southwestern provinces can be integrated with Daming, and there will never be that kind of thing that does not listen to the propaganda.

Li Xiao doesn't want to rule in name, he wants real and real rule.

"Dashuai, the bond matter is only the first step.

In the second step, we need to speculate on the price of the bond. Therefore, these 350 million cannot be moved. Ai Husheng's words made Li Xiao's excitement fly out of the clouds at once.

What are you kidding, the bonds raised can't be used, so what the hell are you going to issue them?

It's so close that a beautiful big girl stripped naked and lay on the bed, she can only look at it and can't touch it, this fucking hanging.

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I have to tell you about this." Ai Husheng saw Li Xiao's displeasure and hurriedly lit a cigar for Li Xiao.

"Say!" Li Xiao glanced at Ai Husheng, Li Xiao really didn't understand these things about people's livelihood and economy.

"350 million bonds, that's debt!

If we buy these bonds at a high price with that money, then these bonds become commodities.

If it is a commodity, it has a price, and if it has a price, it can be fried.

We now have 350 million silver dollars in our hands, enough to gradually increase the price of these bonds.

When the price is high, we will put these bonds out.

So that we can make a lot of money! Ai Husheng's words made Li Xiao's eyes light up.

"According to preliminary estimates, we will be able to make at least ten times as much money this time. That is, 3.5 billion Ming silver dollars.

Europe's wealth will almost be looted by us. ”

"Thirty-five billion! So much? Rao is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and Li Xiao is still shocked by this number.

"Yes, three and a half billion.

And that's not all! Ai Husheng "hey" "hey" smirked.

"Three and a half billion, and that's not all?" Li Xiao was at a loss, bringing this guy back from North Korea was worth a thousand dollars.

"When we sell, we will push the price of the bond down and spend some money to get the local newspaper to cooperate.

For example, say something like the Ming bond is unreliable. Or the relationship between the two countries is tense, and the Ming Dynasty will rely on the debt.

Then we will be able to create a panic sell!

When chasing up, everyone will take Daming bonds as a treasure. When it comes to killing, everyone will use the Ming bond as a poisonous snake that bites people.

Under our repression and public opinion offensive, many people will sell their bonds in panic.

We were able to buy these bonds back for very little money.

In this way, we will no longer have to pay interest on these bonds. You don't have to pay back the principal of the bond! ”

After Ai Husheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiao proudly.

Li Xiao held a cigar in his mouth and looked at Ai Husheng blankly.

Oh my God! Grab money or these glasses are ruthless!

In this way, the Ming Dynasty was able to take away the wealth that Europe had collected for hundreds of years just by using some printed paper.

The whole process did not take a single shot, but it emptied Europe's liquid cash.

God knows how many Europeans will go bankrupt and how many will be homeless at that time.

The little match girl will not be a story, but a real thing.

It's so ruthless! It's so ruthless!

This set may be more than Daming to dispatch a million troops. Spend hundreds of millions of military spending, and get more wealth.

White prostitution! This is a real fucking prostitute!
