Tune the Pacific

Chapter 324 Use!

Outside the window.

The heavy snow was flying and sprinkled one after another. Looking at it, the whole South China Sea of Yingtai seemed to be shrouded in silk cotton wool. Although the lake was frozen, the white fog was still rising from the ice, and the sky and the earth seemed to be connected at this moment.

"It's worthy of Yingtai, the fairy island on the sea!"

Master Li didn't want to blink his eyes. His predecessor was a broken engineer. Although he had money, guns and four wives in his life, his appreciation ability still stayed in the concept of cement-wrapped villa in later generations. He had never seen such a wonderful scenery. If he hadn't mastered his own life, maybe he would have thought that he had crossed. I'm in Wonderland!

What the ancestors left behind is not all bad!

At least it is difficult for those awesome designers in later generations to make such a corresponding scene. It seems that urban planning and ancient city protection should be discussed as soon as possible. A special department should be set up to protect them. Otherwise, if the gang of people in the Ministry of Construction mess up, I don't know how many Chinese treasures will be lost.

In the bookstore, Mr. Qiao chatted with Liang Dunyan about how to do the ticket number. From time to time, he glanced at Li Mo standing in front of the window. Compared with the cold outside, this bookstore was as warm as spring, and the four xylophones were simple and elegant.

After being invited to Yanjing for a New Year's dinner, most of the guests had gone back. Some people were satisfied, but some of them were dissatisfied, while he was one of the few guests invited to stay, and he was also temporarily arranged to stay in Xinhua Garden. It was also the experience of this period that made him very angry with the young emperor. I'm curious about how different it is.

For example, at this moment, only a few experienced old eunuchs can be seen in Xinhua Garden, leaving an inventory. Although some maids have stayed, most of them are servants, and these eunuchs and maids of honor are not called their original names now, but like the clerks in their ticket number, they can get a certain salary every month. .

After most of the eunuchs and maids left, they became a department responsible for the management of the Xinhua Garden and the Summer Palace. It is said that this is also proposed by the new emperor. Those people are responsible for the maintenance of the garden as well as other things of the royal family. As for their salaries. It's all out of the royal family themselves, and it's not under the control of the government.

This is a strange thing that I haven't heard of for many years, but after living here for more than half a month, I have been much more indifferent to this kind of thing. I turned my head and looked at the four pianos on the bookcase.

It is said that this Buwu Academy used to be used in the Yongzheng period. Qianlong, as a prince, was used to study here. At that time, there were two old tung trees in the courtyard. One of them died of illness, and then another one was planted. The four pianos in front of him was made of dead sycamore trees, and the name of the Sui'an room in the north house was written by Emperor Qianlong himself. It means to be at ease.

According to the bodyguard who brought him before, it remains unchanged here, and there is basically no change everywhere in Xinhua Garden. This style of keeping and innovation is completely different from innovation, which is the first time he has seen it appear on a young man.

"Mr. Qiao, you are used to living here." Li Mo withdrew his eyes and said with a smile.

"With the blessing of the emperor, it is already my birthday to be able to stay here for a few days." As soon as Mr. Qiao was about to get up, Li Mo smiled and motioned him to sit down and speak. He smiled and said, "Sir, what did you think about what I told you a few days ago?"

Mr. Qiao moved the corners of his mouth twice, but he didn't know how to say it. It turned out that a few days ago, the new finance minister Liang Dunyan suddenly brought a message from Li Mo, hoping to borrow his Dade pass number.

Use it!

This is not a trivial matter. The Dade pass ticket number was established by him. Now I dare not say that it ranks first. At least it can be ranked in the Shanxi ticket number. The branch under the name has opened all over the country. It can be said that it is Qiao's **. How can it be borrowed? But he can't resist. Resisting the New Deal Axe is going to kill the head. The blood of the Manchu descendants on the streets of Yanjing City has not dried up, so he is only half worried to death.

"Mr. Joe, if you have something to say, just say it directly." Li Mo saw his concerns and asked with a smile.

It seemed that Mr. Qiao was kind when he saw that Li Mo was still kind. After thinking about it, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If the emperor wants a ticket number, I dare not disobey, but this ticket number is the lifeblood of my Qiao's family, so..."

"Oh? Ha ha, ha ha..."

The more Li Mo listened, the more he frowned. In the end, he found that the old man was wrong. He thought he was going to forcibly buy him. He quickly stared at Liang Dunyan: "Didn't you make it clear?"

Liang Dunyan also shook his head with tears and laughter. Master Li's family resources are several times more than the whole Jin merchants combined. How could he look at a ticket number? He laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I said I would borrow it. He... He misunderstood."

Misunderstanding? Don't you really want to get your own ticket number? Mr. Qiao was also stunned and quickly asked, "Lord Liang, don't you want my ticket number?"

Liang Dunyan quickly shook his head: "Mr. Qiao, where do you want to go? The emperor is rich all over the world. Even if it is only real gold and silver, it is not enough to add up one-tenth of your Jin merchants. How can you want your ticket number?"

"The reason why we want to borrow your ticket number is that we like the wide network of Dadetong, and the branches have opened in various places, so we are ready to operate the cash in our hands."

All the Jin merchants add up to less than one!

Mr. Qiao's heart trembled a few times. He thought that Jin Shang was rich enough, but he knew that compared with others, he was nothing! Fortunately, I still have the face to build such a big house to honor my ancestors. It turned out that in the eyes of others, he was still a lame child!

"But what does this operation mean?"

While he was thinking about it, Li Mo said slowly, "It's not that I'm joking. Compared with the outside world, Jin Shang is just a drop in the sea, so you can't just focus on the country. How much tax was paid in the Qing Dynasty in a year? Less than 100 million taels of silver, less than a fraction of the United Kingdom, let alone the United States.

"This time I want to borrow your ticket number because we are promoting the gold standard of foreigners. The Ministry of Finance will soon issue banknotes. Banknotes are linked to gold, and all silver will be gradually withdrawn from the market."

"Is the silver useless?" Hearing this, Mr. Qiao's figure also stood up in surprise. Liang Dunyan quickly grabbed him and said with a smile, "Silver is not useless, but not so valuable. After a while, our political axe will open up to recover silver and will not let the people suffer losses, but to large silver investors like you must get a certain discount. Recycling, and the silver must withdraw from the market as soon as possible, otherwise the circulation of the two currencies together will damage the interests of the country. Therefore, once we let go of the recycling, the value of the silver will definitely depreciate significantly!"

"Although silver can be used as industrial materials, the demand is not so large now, so we can't watch so much silver in our hands. We will transfer some of them abroad to digest them, but the main part still needs to be solved in China, so we are ready to rely on great virtue. Tong and several other Jin merchants, send it to the southern flower!"

"Did you ship flowers to the south?" Who is Mr. Joe? I have been playing with the ticket number for decades. Naturally, I know what problems will be caused once there is too much silver in the market. What's more, it is only a matter of time before the unification of the north. The remaining provinces in the south have to digest the silver of the whole country, and there will definitely be problems. At least the price of rice will rise is certain!

Once the price of rice rises, everything will rise, which will inevitably cause chaos in the southern market. Playing this is equivalent to baking the southern provinces on the fire!

It is not surprising that Mr. Qiao implemented the gold standard for Li Mo, because the Shanxi ticket numbers in the north have been withdrawn without exception over the years. It is because the silver is not in circulation and the banknotes have been issued, so it can no longer be maintained. Now it is almost unified in the north, and it is normal to continue to promote banknotes, but he did not expect that Li Mo Unexpectedly, he was not ready to suffer losses, but to pass on the losses in the south!

When the southern provinces notice more and more silver and higher prices, I'm afraid it's too late!

"Sir, you are engaged in ticket numbers. Naturally, you should know the way in this. I won't go into details. As for how it works, I will let Liang Dunyan talk to you in detail. In addition, I also want to say that I also hope you can tell the landlords of Jin merchants that the ticket number will definitely not exist in the future. In addition to investing in the railway, you It is also time to open your eyes and open a bank in the form of shares. However, according to the new law, banks must pay 30% of the deposit to the central bank, in order to avoid the loss of bankrupt depositors in the future.

"Moreover, I also hope that you can send some young people out for a walk. If necessary, you can contact Liang Dunyan and let him arrange to study abroad. You can also work in our bank for a few years. Don't have an old vision!" Li Mo said this, and his eyes became bright: "The world is very big. I hope to see our own bank go abroad as soon as possible, instead of foreigners constantly reaching into our Xinhua!"

Mr. Qiao finally understood Li Mo's thoughts, and he couldn't help but be shocked by his ambition. Although he didn't know how much silver Liang Dunyan said, it must be more than astronomical figures. In addition, all the silver of the northern people will also converge to the south. I'm afraid that so much silver will support those who are still trying to blackmail the ocean. The adults of the princes, at least it is inevitable that prices are chaotic!

Once prices soar, I'm afraid the south will not be peaceful!

Thinking of this, Mr. Qiao couldn't help admiring Li Mo's tricks. He secretly said that this person was really extraordinary. He quickly got up and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know how to do it. I will definitely contact Jin Shang when I go back this time to make preparations for the emperor's great cause."

"Well, I won't keep you. When the railway is opened in the future, I also want to see the land of Sanjin. I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful." Seeing Du Dazhuang poked his head outside the house, Li Mo immediately asked Liang Dunyan to take him to see him off.

"That's great. At that time, I will cooperate with all the Jin merchants and drink the emperor happily!"

"Ha ha." Li Mo smiled. After sending the two people away, he stared at Du Dazhuang in the corner and shouted, "It's sneaky, what are you doing?"

Seeing Liang Dunyan and Mr. Qiao leaving, Du Dazhuang rushed in quickly: "Young master, Mr. Li asked me to remind you that we will discuss the land law today."

"Land Law!"

Li Mo's eyes were cold, and it was finally coming!
