Volume VIII 1196 is difficult to convince

Next chapter

Jiangning Marshal's Mansion has become a vegetable market at the moment, and when Zeng Guofan announced the ban on the transfer of all bulk industries in the Jiangnan area, everyone in the hall was stunned, followed by a voice of opposition.

"What is this doing? There has never been such a ban in the more than 200 years of the dynasty, and the people are free to buy and sell fields and industries, as long as they pay taxes according to the regulations, how can our government manage it?"

"Taboo, this is a great taboo! Sir, you know that once such a ban is promulgated, the entire economy of Jiangnan will be frozen, and the tax revenue will drop sharply for two months in a row.

"It's still a trivial matter if the money is gone, the key is that the imperial court will be deeply jealous of us, there are many people in Sijiu City who suspect that we have a disobedient heart, and now it's even more honest to others if it's such a toss?"

Officials, you say a word, but no one supports Zeng Guofan's order, which makes the old farmer next to the big marshal turn white.

"Quiet ......" a long shout shook the chaotic vegetable market, and the old farmer turned his head to look at the handsome.

Zeng Guofan had already guessed everyone's reaction, he didn't get angry, just smiled faintly, "Is there anything else? Who still has a new big reason? Say it before I go north, don't save it ......in my heart."

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and finally the fierce general Bao Chao arched his hand and said, "Dashuai, my subordinates don't say anything false, let me tell the truth!"

"In this Nanpiao crisis, not only those businessmen have suffered heavy losses, but in fact, our old brothers in the Hunan army have also shed a lot of blood. We people can withstand the rough skin and thick flesh of these people, but what about the middle-level officers of those small families under our command? What about the ordinary big-headed soldiers? They don't have any family background from us!"

"Hey...... In the final analysis, the Hunan army still relied on the war to start the family, hundreds of thousands of people did not produce to save some belongings, relying on the capture of the war and the rewards of the imperial court, and when the war is over, we will naturally have no way to get money......"

"War cannot last forever, and now it is time for the civil servants to get rich. Boss, you have to think about your brothers! The money ticket has become a waste of paper, so don't you want our brothers to buy some property with silver? Do you really want to starve the big guy?"

This sentence is too real, and there was a voice in the lobby that echoed it: "That's it, there will be no war in the future, and we don't know any craftsmanship, and we won't be able to operate, can we sit and eat nothing? At this time, if you don't save some family business for yourself, you really won't have a chance in the future......"

Zeng Guofan nodded, "Yes, after talking for a long time, I finally got to the point, which is much better than saying those empty words...... But I ask you to think again, what will happen if I lift the ban?"

"I have a telegram here, from Zuo Jigao, who is in Xi'an...... You all think that my ban was requested by Xiao Letian? It is a big mistake, in fact, before Xiao Letian's telegram, Zuo Jigao had already made the same request!"

With a bang, people were stunned, "Why does Zuo Zongtang care about this idle matter? He doesn't want to make a fortune in Xi'an, and he still prevents us from getting rich? There was such a telegram before Xiao Letian......

Zeng Guofan sighed, "Hey...... Zuo Jigao can still see it thoroughly! He said in the telegram that if the southern ticket completely collapses, then the foreigners in Shanghai will definitely take action, and with their huge financial resources, I am afraid that all the valuable assets in Jiangnan will be looted at that time......

"Do you really think you can take advantage of the fire? Don't think about good things, how can the poor little silver in your hands compare with the foreigner's bank? The shop you fancy can easily be snatched away at double the price, how many good industries do you really think you can eat?"

"It's been five years since Tongzhi Zhongxing, and Jiangnan has finally saved up this bit of money, is it all cheap foreign devils? Do you have to have foreigners monopolize a people's livelihood industry to finish?"

"Could it be that the tea, silk, porcelain, medicinal herbs, and dyes in Jiangnan will be ...... in the future? Even the wine-making, catering, Qinglou entertainment, and other industries are monopolized by foreigners, so you will give up? Are you satisfied with giving up the grain industry to foreigners?"

Zeng Guofan frowned tightly and said bitterly: "What is more terrible than the country is that the lifeblood of the entire country has become a tool for collecting wealth in the hands of others, I am afraid that in the future, we Chinese will have to pay money to drink saliva and take a breath, that is the real death of the country!"

The people below listened to the shuai's alarmist words and swallowed a mouthful of spit, and someone muttered in a low voice, "Is it so strict?"

There was a loud bang, and Zeng Guofan took the case, "If you have something to say loudly, don't pretend to be my grandson!" The people below were stunned by a loud shout.

At this time, Jiushuai Zeng Guoquan couldn't be silent, he hurriedly played a round for the generals, "Big brother, don't be angry, you can dissipate your anger......"

"Shut up! This is the White Tiger Festival, what are you shouting big brother? Is there your big brother here and there? Do you understand the rules......

Jiu Shuai was frightened and hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand, "Da Shuai is angry, it's a rude subordinate!"

"You speak, I'll give you a chance......"

"Dashuai, let's not talk about the fight for industry, I just want to ask you, what is the use of the two-month ban? Don't you fantasize that Xiao Lotian can defeat the Russians and then restore the credit of the southern ticket? But is it possible!"

"Everyone knows the strength of the Russian Expeditionary Force, the British have already revealed the bottom, 30,000 elites plus 45 warships of various types, and dozens of accompanying supply ships...... How can such a huge corps expect Xiao Lotian to resist?"

"Of course I know that Xiao Lotian has a strange battleship named Zhiyuan, which is so powerful that Westerners are afraid, but no matter how powerful the battleship is, there is only one!

"Dashuai! It's not that we don't feel sorry for Jiangnan's industry, but now whether we ban it or not, Jiangnan's industry has to be cheap foreign devils, rather than that, it's better for us to shoot in advance, relying on the geographical advantage, we can still eat more part, the meat is rotten on our own people, isn't it also rotten in the pot?"

This truth was catered to by everyone, and people turned their heads and said: "Jiu Shuai is right! Anyway, this is a battle that must be lost, whether there is a ban for these two months or not, the industry in Jiangnan has to be finished, why take off your pants and fart......

Zeng Guofan's face was red and white with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "You know what a fart, how can you be defeated?

Note: Recently, there are many book friends who have given Xinjing red envelopes, some of them have been rewarded on the website, and some have even directly used WeChat or QQ to give Xinjing a reward.

Although I won't ask for WeChat and QQ red envelopes with a clean heart, I have received your heart, and I am still very grateful!

But at the same time of thanks, Xinjing also has a humble little request, if you want to support the book of Hidden Dragon in the future, can you replace the red envelope with a subscription? Let's be honest, the subscription is the lifeline of this book.

How important is subscription? I thought about it for a long time and thought it would be a good example.

If the book Hidden Dragon is a variety show or TV series, the subscription is actually the ratings. I think book lovers should be able to understand how important ratings are, this is the only criterion to prove the value of a show.

It's the same for the book Hidden Dragon, subscription = ratings. If the ratings are insufficient, the book will be put into the cold, the website will not pay attention to it, the industry will not pay attention to it, and there will even be the possibility of being forcibly completed.

Don't you know that variety shows will be cut if the ratings are low? Don't you really know?

And what is a red envelope? A red envelope reward is actually an extra reward for the performer after you like the show, which is a very private behavior.

Of course, Xinjing has to bow and thank for this additional reward, but the most urgent thing at the moment is actually to increase the ratings, that is, the genuine subscription.

Not for anything else, just to ask this book to be cut down or hidden! Now everyone understands the situation of the book Hidden Dragon, right?
