This time, they stayed in retreat for a bit longer and didn't return until June 19.

This day happened to be the day when the United States passed the "Silver Purchase Act".

The bill went from proposal to passage overnight, in fact, the price of silver began to rise from 30 cents to 50 cents since the beginning of May. On the day the bill was passed, the price of silver jumped to 80 cents.

Qin Di previously purchased silver futures, with a total investment of $16 million, using a leverage of 1:3, enlarged to $48 million, and as of June 19, he had earned $120 million.

He shipped half of the investment, leaving the remaining half for 1935, when the price of silver reached $1.29 an ounce.

In addition, he asked You Long and Zhang Bin to sell their real estate, returned 23 million yuan of funds, and exchanged another 20 million yuan from the Bank of China, plus more than 14 million silver dollars and silver ingots that he had grabbed before, for a total of 57 million yuan. This part of the silver, he is going to save until September. Because after October, the government of the Republic of China will charge a 10% silver export tax.

The Silver Act had a great impact on China, and from July to October 1934, in just three months, 200 million yuan of silver flowed out. This shows the outflow of silver.

As early as 1931, China had 1.7 billion silver coins, plus a number of silver ingots. At the end of 1933, foreign banks in the city alone had silver reserves of 270 million yuan, but by September 1935, 80% of the silver reserves had disappeared.

The massive outflow of silver disrupted the economic order and caused huge losses to China, with the value of agricultural output in 1934 falling by 46% compared with 1931, and the export of raw silk was only 21.8% of that in 1930......

Under such internal and external troubles, Mr. Qing is still mobilizing a large army to carry out the fifth "encirclement and suppression", and the lives of the common people are in dire straits......

The U.S. Silver Act exacerbated the collapse of China's economy and greatly weakened the economic foundation of China's resistance to Japan.

Historically, Japan relied on the gold and silver seized from the three eastern provinces, plus the silver smuggled from the magic capital, Tianjin, and Qingdao, and sold it in the London market, and made a fortune from it.

And Qin Di stole a large amount of gold and silver from the Northeast, and intervened in the appreciation of silver in advance, helping China recover some of its losses.

He further converted the money he earned into grain, sugar, oil, and cotton yarn, and stored it in Sichuan, Wuhan, Shaanxi, and other places, making preparations as much as he could for the future war of resistance.

Zhang Naijing followed Qin Di step by step, and also increased his wealth by five or six percent, so he was complacent, and often boasted to Qin Ling, saying that he had vision.

In 1934, the Great Red Army lost step by step in the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" and paid huge sacrifices.

However, the left-wing writers' union in the magic capital has achieved brilliant results.

Zhou Changgeng's essays, Mao Dun's "Midnight", "Lin Family Shop", and "Spring Silkworm", Jiang Guangci's "Roaring Land", the novels of Ding Ling, Zhang Tianyi, Ye Zi and others, the plays of Wang Shu, Hong Shen, Xia Yan and others, and the poems of the poets of the Chinese Poetry Society have all shown the achievements of left-wing literature and art with their new ideological and artistic expansion, and have had a wide influence.

The Left Federation also recruited members of the "Drama Association" such as Jin Shan and Zhao Dan, and musicians such as Nie Er, Lu Ji, and He Luting to open up the film front and shoot progressive films, which became the center of gravity of the left-wing cultural movement. The left-wing film front gradually took control of film companies such as Star, Lianhua, Dentsu, Tianyi, and Dahua.

Among them, the "West Wind Theater" and the "Dahua Film Company" presided over by Wang Shu became important positions of the revolution.

Wang Shu and Qin Yue worked energetically, but Qin Di was worried about them.

Sometimes, Qin Yue wanted Yan Xue to go to the West Wind Theater to sing the "Ballad of the Great Wall", and asked Gu Rumei to go over to play the piano, but she was blocked by Qin Di.

For this reason, Qin Yue complained a lot: "Brother, it's time for you to accept ideological transformation! At this juncture of the vigorous revolution, how can you, as the heir of the Qin family, hold back?"

Qin Di smiled bitterly, as a cultivator, he could only serve the country secretly, and could not interfere blatantly.

Therefore, he opened his mouth and said: "Yan Xue can't go, her influence is too great, if she appears in the West Wind Theater, it will bring trouble to the Qin family." ”

Qin Yue pursed her lips: "What trouble can it bring? What are you afraid of?"

"It's hard to put into words. ”

Some of the things Qin Di did could not withstand serious investigation, such as Guotai Pharmaceutical supplying medicine to Li Shenggong and Mr. Ge, for example, Qin's grain store placed a large warehouse in Hancheng, for example, Ci'an Hospital treated the generals of the Great Red Army, and it was very troublesome for any one to be exposed.

However, Qin Yue didn't know these things, she always thought that her brother was very stubborn and refused to accept new ideas.

Qin Yue has become a mother, and her children have been six months old, but she herself seems to have not grown up yet, she always sees things very simply, and does things with enthusiasm.

Of course, this can't all be blamed on Qin Yue, but also on Qin Di's strange and unpredictable behavior, there are months of no one every year, and the Qin family's wealth swells dramatically like blowing bubbles, which makes Qin Yue feel incomprehensible.

"Brother, what's the point of you having so many companies? No matter how much money you make, you can't give back to the society, what's the value?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "You really don't eat the fireworks of the world! Could it be that you haven't read the newspapers? In the Sichuan earthquake last August and the floods and locust plagues this summer, our Qin family provided a large amount of grain, although it was not distributed for free, but it also lowered the price of grain and saved many people. ”

Qin Yue said: "I don't read that kind of newspaper that slaps horses, maybe it's an article written by someone you find! I only know that the Qin family's assets have to increase every year, isn't that the people's fat and people's ointment?"

"Nonsense! Who are you listening to? Could it be Wang Shu and his friends?"

"Hmph, I heard people say anyway that the Qin family is among the four major families of the Republic of China, and they are representatives of the big chaebol and the big bourgeoisie. ”

"Why do some people still say such things? Tang Jishan, who was the first to put forward the top ten richest list, wasn't I cleaned up and became honest?"

"Hmph, you make so much money, and you don't let people say it? It's too domineering! To tell you the truth, this is what Zhuo Qingqiu said at a meeting! I am not qualified to participate, Wang Shu came back to tell me. ”

Qin Di couldn't help frowning: "At this time, shouldn't Zhuo Qingqiu be in the Soviet District?"

Qin Yue said: "A few months ago, he went back to the Demon Capital to do business, and he went back soon. ”

For this person, Qin Di couldn't be angry, but felt sad and asked, "Is his body better?"

Qin Yue sighed: "Alas, it's much worse than before, and I often have a fever and hemoptysis......"

"Did you give him some streptomycin?"

"Take it, he said to take it back and distribute it to the wounded......"

This time, Qin Di didn't dare to say more, Zhuo Qingqiu's days were numbered.

The conditions in the Soviet area were difficult, and he was not in good health, so he repeatedly applied to participate in the Northern Expedition, but the leaders above did not agree, so he had to stay in the Soviet area. At that time, there were 18,000 people who remained in the Soviet area and persisted in fighting, including Chen, Su, Fang, He, Xiang, and others. Later, Zhuo Qingqiu was arrested, and many people persuaded him to surrender, but he resolutely went to die.

Sometimes, Qin Di couldn't help but think: "Do you want to save him? After saving him, he will continue the revolution, and he will encounter danger, and Zhuo Qingqiu should also be saved, but also thousands of soldiers who stayed behind and sacrificed, and tens of thousands of young people who fell on the road to the north......

Thinking about it like this, he couldn't make a move again.

In this regard, Qin Di, who was reincarnated as an immortal, also felt helpless!

Sometimes, Qin Di also wants to go to the Soviet area to have a look, disguised as an ordinary soldier, but with his skills, he will definitely create miracles repeatedly, the gods block and kill the gods, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, which is bound to arouse suspicion!

So he couldn't do any of these things, so he could only stay in the magic capital.
