"What the lord said is very true, when he first went north to King Qin that day, the lord once said in the capital, how can there be a filial son whose parents are in bed and are stingy with medicine expenses. We are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains is where the ancestral tomb is located, the state of parents, how can our generation be greedy for small profits and forget the righteousness, if the slave succeeds, the goods can not be transported freely, the personnel can not be free to come and go, if the mother and child are forcibly demolished. ”

There was a look at the wind with that eyebrows and eyes, and he immediately jumped out to express his position. As a result, others followed suit. Originally! The lord made it very clear that everyone's money mainly depends on earning in the hinterland, and in the workshops, granges, and businesses, the endless stream of displaced people from the hinterland has provided labor and technology, and those skilled workers have regained their motivation under the technical conditions provided by various machinery in Nanzhong, and in addition to a way to make a living, they have also found their own life value. The Central Plains is of such great significance to the Southern Guangdong Army, people, money, product outlets, and raw material origins all depend on this, how can they give up lightly?

But there are also people who are the first to be popular, and the first few people who jumped out to echo Li Shouhan secretly sneered: "I, at the beginning, you shouted that you didn't care about the mainland, and now you are pretending to be a filial son, can you have a little discipline." ”

A round of red sun gradually fell on the surface of the Pearl River, dyeing the entire river surface red. As night fell, people dispersed in twos and threes, ready to find a place to drink.

Upstairs in Yuexiu, watching the lights in Guangzhou City sprinkled on both sides of the Pearl River like stars, people can't help but feel fascinated and relaxed.

Upstairs at this time were Zheng Zhilong and his son, Shi Lang and Li Huamei and his wife, as well as Ye Qi and Mo Yu, the commander of the Guards Brigade, Chen Tianhua, the commander of the second town, and others, all of whom sat around a huge round table. Some soldiers opened the windows on all sides to let the cool wind blow in, and suddenly the autumn tiger had nowhere to show his majesty.

This is tantamount to concentrating all the senior cadres of the Nanyue Army who are in Guangzhou at the moment. Seeing this formation, Shi Lang couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and didn't know why there was such a battle. Could it be that my father-in-law has something important to communicate with us?

Don't. His old man's python robe is a little tired of wearing, and he plans to change it? Shi Lang couldn't help but feel a sudden heat in his heart.

"It's been a long time since I've had dinner with my in-laws, Ye Shaoning." It was Li Shouhan's words that made everyone's hearts settle down a little, no matter what the purpose is, they must listen to the lord's words.

"My father has always worked hard for the country and is loyal to the king, and we have always followed Jiwei and followed suit." Shi Lang as the eldest son-in-law. At this time, Zheng Zhilong, who is an elder, naturally can't be allowed to say too flattering words, which is a bit inconsistent with Zheng Zhilong's identity, so who else can he be?

"Exactly. The grandfather worked hard for the Ming court, and His Majesty the emperor and the court also saw it. Zheng Zhilong added a sentence to Shi Lang very appropriately.

"There is another thing, which is a happy event between the grandfather and the next one." Zheng Zhilong had a smile on the corner of his eyebrows, with Li Shouhan's understanding of him, if it weren't for some great joy. With Zheng Zhilong's long-standing character, although it is not said to be moody, it is invisible. But he can also be pretentious and control his own feelings.

"In-laws, today is a light meal for our own family, and those common names will be thrown outside the Pearl River. If there's any happy event, just say it! "After being sick these days, Li Shouhan is also bored to death. Now that I heard Zheng Zhilong say that there is a happy event, how can I not let him get excited?

"That's right, Damu and Hua Ying have been married for a while, and someone in the family sent a letter last month, and Hua Ying is already pregnant. Count Chenguang. It should have been about three months since you ordered Damu to send troops to quell the rebellion. ”

Zheng Sen is going to be a father?! Li Huaying is going to be a mother? Isn't Zheng Zhilong and himself in front of him going to be promoted to the grandfather level? Although he already has a group of wives and concubines and a full house of children and grandchildren, Li Shouhan still attaches great importance to the import of Tian Ding.

"Yes! Then I'm going to have a few drinks today! Father-in-law, you're going to be a grandfather! ”

"Each other, aren't you going to be a grandfather too!"

The two old guys each picked up the openwork glass goblet in their hands, collided with a crisp sound, and drank the hot wine in the cup.

"There's a good thing for my father to know." Shi Lang saw that Zheng Sen had won the lottery, and at this time, Li Shouhan's eyes were full of enthusiasm when he looked at this big tree, and naturally he couldn't be reconciled, so he immediately added a sentence.

"The eldest brother in Jinan sent a letter saying that the sister-in-law had given birth to a son, weighing six pounds and eight taels. Mother and child are safe. In addition, the two aunts also added a son and a daughter to their father, but a few days later than the sister-in-law. ”

There was a burst of joy at the banquet again. All of a sudden, the Li family has added three more generations and two generations, although the uncle and sister-in-law are a few days younger than the eldest nephew, but what is this among the wealthy families everywhere? It can only be said that a family member like Li Shouhan is not old.

"Birthday for the Lord!"

"Shuai Shou for my father!"

Everyone had to congratulate Li Shouhan again, and for a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table was warm and cheerful. However, the time of joy was always short-lived, and Li Shouhan waited for everyone to drink for three rounds, and after slowing down the pace slightly, he motioned to his soldiers to fetch a piece of paperwork.

"We're done celebrating the happy event, now let's talk about some bad things!" He handed the text to Ye Qi and motioned for him to read it to everyone.

When Ye Qi finished reading this secret letter from the capital in standard Nanzhili official dialect, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a hot oil pot, and the atmosphere suddenly exploded.

The letter was written by Li Peiting in the capital. The letter is nothing more than how the imperial court dispatched troops after the defeat of Liaodong and the Central Plains, and how to fight fires everywhere and demolish the east wall to make up the west wall. However, one of the passages made everyone angry.

"It is reported that a court official in the household department said that at present, the imperial court has a large amount of military salary expenditure, and the treasury is empty, so Jianyi will re-implement the old Hongwu system and issue treasure banknotes to alleviate the shortage of military supplies for the imperial court."

The so-called alleviation of the lack of military needs of the imperial court is actually to use treasure money to wipe the butt and dislike its rotten waste paper, and trade with the Nanyue army for bulk goods such as ordnance and food. In addition to the cost of training the new army and filling holes in Liaodong and the Central Plains, what are the major expenses?

Isn't this obviously stealing money from the hands of the Nanyue Army?! I just told the officers at all levels that the Central Plains is where our production and color go, and the source of raw materials and labor needed can be poured now. If someone has a piece of waste paper and messy printing, they will exchange artillery, armor, knives and guns, and food from your hands.

The banknote law has been abolished since the Hongzhi and Zhengde years, and when the apocalypse, Hui Shiyang was asked to make a trip in the matter. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were Jiang Chen's Shen Qi said. Promoted to the secretary of the household department. Ni Yuanlu was in charge of the affairs and advocated it, but it was impossible to stop.

This is the original history of Chongzhen's attempt to carry out the reform of the financial system in order to recover the declining situation, and he planned to use guò to scrape the common people again to see how effective it is to knock the bone and suck the marrow and scrape the oil on the legs of the heron. However, such a method was stillborn because of the excessive harm done to the Jiangnan merchant group, and it was never implemented. I can't imagine such a trick today. This kind of indiscriminate issuance of paper money, gold yuan coupons and other means of wiping the buttocks are dirty, but it is still used as a magic weapon to rejuvenate the youth of the Ming court.

"My lord, the matter of the imperial court coinage, my subordinates have heard a little about it when they are in Jiangnan." After reading Li Peiting's secret letter, Ye Qi still had a signature smile on his face, "The subordinates will talk about one or two, thinking that the lord will refer to him." ”

"The first year of Chongzhen. More than 79,000 taels of Nanjing were cast, and 39,000 taels of silver were earned; It is strange that the household mints money and earns 26,000 silver interest. The money it minted. All of them are used as a penny of 55 wen, and the interest is calculated to make a profit, and the compensation of the craftsman and the folding of the exercise are unbearable. The copper capital of Baoquan Bureau is 400,000 taels, and the old example of money is to repay the principal in Taicang. The following year, he borrowed it again, and he made it forever. ”

In the third year, Yu Shi Cheng Jing said: "The beginning of the coinage is the first to pass the world, but now it is suffering from no interest." From the north and south bureaus, only Huguang, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Xuan, Mi two towns remain. And the breath that was cast did not return to the imperial court, and there was no casting for the bitterness, and it was covered to buy copper instead of mining copper. In accordance with the example of the early Hongwu Dynasty and the ninth year of Yongle and the sixth year of Jiajing, officials were sent to the provinces to mint money, copper was mined in the place where copper was produced, and officials were stationed in the army, imitating the silver mining method, and three out of ten were taken. The benefits of the copper mountain, the imperial court is good at it, and the small people take it, and it is still directly to the city. "The emperor obeyed it. When the foundry is opened, it is beneficial to use more copper, and less copper is to benefit. Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, asked the special official to buy copper. The household department discussed the origin of the copper producers stationed in Zhenyuan, Jing, Chang copper and lead meeting places, the so-called copper mining in the copper production place. The emperor followed. Both, but also mining Jiang, Meng, Yuanqu, Wenxi Zhuzhou County copper lead. Zhu Da, the director of Jingzhou's extraction, said: "Jingzhou is connected to Guizhou and Shu, and is connected to Jiang and Guangzhou. The breath of the four casts is twice as much as the south and three times as much as the north. ”

Because of Chen's four things, he was ordered to be supervised. Then the money type was determined, each article weighed one penny, and every thousand straight silver one tael. Nandu's money is light and thin, and it is repeatedly strict, and it is set to weigh eight cents per article. At the beginning, Jiajing money was the most work, Longqing and Wanli money were heavier by half a baht, and the new money was minted from the apocalypse and Chongzhen, and the old money was discarded. However, the day is thin, most of them are mixed with lead sand, and they are broken by throwing and turning.

"This is the famous folk horse Chongzhen, speaking of which, we also want to thank the imperial court for casting bad coins so much more and more, if they mint money like Yongle Tongbao, our money will not be good to circulate in the north and south of the river." In the end, he was born as a scholar, who can not only lead troops into battle, but also manage business, and know the way of economy and people's livelihood.

"In the letter of the shopkeeper of Li, it was mentioned that the emperor intended to cast five coins, which may not be a good thing for me in Nanzhong." Ye Qi, who was as warm as jade, spoke slowly and logically, but although his tone was gentle, everyone vaguely smelled a trace of murder from his words.

"Bang Bang!" After Ye Qi finished speaking, Li Shouhan applauded Ye Qi with his own care, which is the so-called praise of the festival. The crowd didn't know why. However, there is nothing wrong with following the trend, so others applaud without knowing it.

In the midst of the applause, Li Shouhan motioned to Ye Qi to continue, telling all the strategies in the abdomen of this trend-chasing Ye Xianggong.

"The world knows that I am rich in Nanzhong, but the money and grain in my Nanzhong are not sent by the strong wind in the flat land, the farmers sweat and the soil is dropped, and the workers work all day long, so that Nanzhong is what it is today. It's that the lord doesn't care about money, but the blood and sweat of the soldiers and civilians in Nanzhong is not as good as a little fame? ”

Ye Qi's handsome face slightly showed a hint of hideousness.

After Li Shouhan waited for the applause to subside, he said to Ye Qi: "What you said is very good, money is not a problem, the problem is how to use it." Daming is the state of parents, not it is unfilial, but if the money is not used to buy medicine, it is even more unfilial. Therefore, I plan to contribute money and food to aid the imperial court, but I have to sign a rescue agreement with the Ming imperial court. ”

Li Shouhan's aid plan was shared with many confidants and cronies before the banquet. The so-called bailout was done in three parts. Compared with Nanzhong and Liangguang, Fujian and other places. At present, the reason why the Ming Dynasty is in a mess is that there are three fundamental problems, the water conservancy is not repaired, the annexation is strict, and the law is not good.

Therefore, the first batch of 10 million silver dollars was rescued to improve water conservancy in Shandong, Guangdong, and Fujian.

The second batch is anti-merger assistance, which will be piloted in Shandong first. Use money to buy land from the gentry and sell it to the peasants for cultivation at a low price. This money, about 20 million silver dollars.

The third, also amounting to about 20 million silver dollars, was used to establish a judicial college in Guangzhou to train judges for the Ming government to ensure the implementation of the relief agreement.

All loans were borrowed in the name of the Ming court, and Emperor Chongzhen guaranteed them in the name of the Son of Heaven. And on the agreement, it is stamped with a big treasure, that is, a jade seal. The annual interest is six cents, and the use of funds is controlled by Nanzhong Trading Company to ensure that the funds are not embezzled. Repayment can be deferred appropriately, but interest must be repaid on time.

After listening to Li Shouhan's brief introduction to this rescue plan, everyone was in a trance, it seemed that on the surface it was all for the Ming Dynasty, but they felt that they belonged to the kind of sword that hid in the mouth and belly. I feel that this rescue plan of Grandpa Guo is not a life-sustaining Laoshan ginseng soup for the Ming Dynasty. It's a bit like Pan Jinlian's decoction, if you don't eat it, you will die.

looked at everyone as if they didn't understand. With a dazed and overwhelmed look, Li Shouhan couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. This kind of financial means, which were mastered by Western countries hundreds of years later, have plunged countless developing countries, former colonial and semi-colonial countries, into a situation from which they will never recover.

Not to mention anything else, just my China, since the end of the Qing Dynasty. It has been used by Western countries to control the national finances by means of loans, tariffs and other means. Hurd, the British General Department of Customs and Excess, faintly became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Even if the first cannon rang out in Wuchang City, and the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag was replaced by the Yellow Dragon Banner, the warring sides did not dare to shoot at the customs controlled by the British.

After Xinhai, the Beiyang Army was also good. Whether it was the provisional government of Nanjing under the leadership of the Cannon Gong, they all had to rush to drink the footwashing water of the six countries bank group led by the British, and they had to drink the peach banquet wine of the Queen Mother.

Borrowing new debts to repay old debts, or using customs duties, tobacco and alcohol taxes, salt taxes, railway construction rights, inland waterway shipping rights and other rights and interests as collateral to do the so-called "sorting", to use modern financial terminology is to package and package non-performing assets and even junk bonds.

The brother-in-law Song, who claims to be a financial expert of the national government and knows the most about Western finance, has handled several famous loans, such as cotton and wheat loans, tung oil loans, silver loans, etc., all of which have to be deducted in advance, and then there are various expenses, which can be deducted at seven percent or eight, and the 100 million US dollars that can really fall into the hands of Song's brother-in-law for several of them to embezzle money is only tens of millions.

(Don't think that the world will be better later, in fact, it will get darker the further back it goes.) Back then, Rabbit wrote a book of gods, which was later denounced by some as extremely leftist, and the name of the book was "Modern Economic History". If you are interested, you can take a look. In this book, Rabbit describes in detail the means and consequences of the economic aggression of the great powers, especially the economic aggression of the Yankees against a certain democratic power, one of the four great powers after World War II, which can be said to be shocking. Since World War II, the democratic power has almost completely lost its economic autonomy, the market is completely occupied, the tax customs are not autonomous, and according to their own statistics, more than 70% of the Tianjin market is American goods, not counting smuggling. Because these actions are legal under a treaty of friendship (Sino-American Trade #Maritime Treaty) that has been praised by countless well-known elves. Therefore, it can be said that if the peace talks between the rabbit and the bald man dragged on in the spring of 1949, the army crossed the river a few years late, and Shanghai was liberated a few years later, and when the savings were exhausted, the only future for the national capitalists would be to line up and jump the Huangpu River. It is estimated that at that time, you had to find a scalper to get a number when jumping the Huangpu River.

As for monopolizing the mine wharf and staking land, it is even more of a trivial matter. However, it seems that God can't get used to it, just after the US imperialists enclosed the Yellow Flood Area, Liu Deng's army crossed the Yellow River and advanced into the Dabie Mountains, and beat the American imperialists, a bald eagle, dizzy, and the American imperialists' plan was stillborn only after completing the drawings. ）

Therefore, this is why Mr. Stuart # Redden said that as long as the CCP respects history and recognizes the treaties between China and the United States, the United States of America is willing to take the lead in recognizing the CCP regime as the sole legitimate government of China. It's a pity that the answer to him was those famous articles, "Farewell, Situ #Redden." "Friendship or Aggression." 》

Just because the generation headed by the chairman does not eat the Western financial bandits does not mean that others will not eat them. If you pay attention to the world financial situation, you can be pleasantly surprised to find that such a similar trick is now being reused in Greece by Aunt Merkel of the Hans family with a new packaging.

It's not just Greece, which has been fooled and lame by Europe and the United States, what to play with deindustrialization, green economy, tourism, and service industries as the support of the national economy. After the great changes, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Latin America, which was regarded as the backyard of US imperialism, still did not escape this fate. What is the most famous Czech Republic, the hometown of ZB26, which was an industrial power in Europe and is familiar to everyone? Probably those actresses who like to see films, right?

The most recent robbery by Western financial robbers was Greece, and after three bailouts, half of Greece's GDP will be looted. But now there are still fools who think that the West's rescue of Greece is out of kindness. It's not good to think about it, the white-skinned pig can be sold for the benefit of his mother, and there is no benefit, can people save Greece on the edge of Europe? Do you really think they all have wings on their backs? Even if they have wings, they are not necessarily angels, and both the devil and the carrion vultures have wings. (To be continued......)
