Chapter 471: Touching the Bottom Line

Outside the gate of the palace and Wang Ding and the other four people said goodbye, and saw the four people get off the sedan chair and leave, Yi Zhishu suddenly felt refreshed, and today I was tired of seeing the audience, but I completed two goals, one of which was to convert the 20 million silver arrears into indefinite treasury bonds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the first step for Yuanqi Bank to become the central bank of the Qing Dynasty, and in the future, Yuanqi will be able to justifiably issue Qing banknotes - legal tender! Of course, in the next few years, he will make the imperial court fall deeper and deeper into the indefinite treasury bonds, and he will be completely inseparable from Yuanqi Bank!

The second is the theory of financial threat, the landing of the Western Bank in the Qing Dynasty will pose a huge threat to the Qing silver system and finance, so that Daoguang and Wang Ding understand and believe this, not only can weaken the imperial court's fear of Yuanqi, but also conducive to Yuanqi's expansion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and will also make the imperial court rely on Yuanqi to deal with Western banks.

This is still a trick of raising bandits and self-respect, not to mention that Western countries do have the idea of infiltrating and encroaching on the financial network of the Qing Dynasty and mastering the capital and credit flow channels of the Qing Dynasty, so as to achieve full control of the Qing Dynasty's finances.

Now the Qianzhuang Bank, which can resist the infiltration and encroachment of Western banks on the monetary and financial affairs of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to Yuanqi, there can be no second, plus Yuanqi promised to issue indefinite treasury bonds for the imperial court, and it is also to issue lottery bonds, at least within three or five years, Yuanqi can be safe and worry-free, and there is no need to worry about the imperial court crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Li Wang, who was waiting, led the horse over, Yi Zhizu turned over and got on the horse, and was about to urge the horse to move forward, when a boy in his early twenties dressed in a long dress trotted up and went straight in front of the horse, and played a thousand children neatly on the spot, and said with a smile on his face: "Yi Ye, the small one is from Prince Hui's mansion, Wu Xiaoliu, you can call me Xiaoliu." ”

Prince Hui's Mansion? Yi Zhixiang secretly wondered in his heart, can this happiness also feast on himself? Without waiting for him to speak, Wu Xiaoliu continued: "I heard that Yi Ye entered Beijing, and our prince specially set up a banquet for Yi Ye to catch the wind and wash the dust, and asked Yi Ye to go with Xiao. ”

Prince Hui Mianyu treats guests, Yi Zhizhi is really not good to refuse, after all, this Mianyu is now the general of Zhengnan, it can be said that he is his top boss, this relationship is not handled well, if the other party does not know what to do, it is a big trouble to be constrained everywhere, he immediately smiled and said: "The prince is invited to a banquet, it is naturally better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and lead the way in front." As he spoke, he looked back and instructed Li Wangdao: "Go and tell the sixth master." ”

Prince Hui Mianyu can be said to have given enough face to Yi Zhi, and personally greeted him at the gate of the courtyard, seeing this situation, Yi Zhizhi turned over and dismounted from a distance and stepped forward quickly, neatly saluting a thousand people, "Say hello to the prince!" Standing up, he smiled and said: "I don't know that the prince is still in Beijing, and he didn't come to visit, and I hope the prince will forgive me." ”

Mianyu said with a spring breeze on his face: "Some time ago, the emperor's dragon body was not safe, so he didn't set off for a long time, and when he learned that the national city had entered Beijing, he simply waited to go south with you." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”

Slowly entering the garden, Mianyu said: "The national city by sea is comparable to an eight-hundred-mile expedited, but I heard that going to sea by boat is not a small risk...... ”

"But the prince is planning to go south by boat with the last general?" Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "That's okay to be prepared to suffer, the sea is stormy, and you will be seasick when you go to sea for the first time, and the prince is afraid that he will vomit in the dark." ”

Mianyu smiled and said: "Before this king left Beijing, Hongji's victory has been passed to Beijing, so it is better to go to Guangzhou a day earlier to sit in the town, in order to see and hear the truth, as for seasickness, I can only bear it." ”

Hearing him say this, Yi Zhixiang had a good impression of him, and said: "The prince can rest assured, the crew and sailors on the ship are all experienced, and this season, there is no big risk, and the prince will be able to deliver the prince to Guangzhou safely." ”

Walking all the way, to a lakeside attic, Mianyu led up to the second floor, and the people who waited for him served fruit and tea, and retreated from a group of people, Mianyu said: "I heard that Annan is not easy to fight?" ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "Annan is not difficult to fight, but Annan is capricious, repeatedly surrendered and rebelled, and if he wants to do it once and for all, it is not easy to use ordinary means." ”

"Oh?" Mianyu said with some surprise: "Can the national city make Annan surrender to my Qing Dynasty forever?" ”

"How can the last general have this ability." Yi Zhixiang smiled and said: "However, Yuanqi group training is a sharp sword, whether it can be done once and for all depends on the means of the prince." ”

After a slight groan, Mianyu said: "Guocheng wants to borrow the hand of this king?" ”

"Annan is not only a granary, but also rich in mineral deposits, including coal mines and iron ores, and its geographical location is prominent, which can not only hold the South Seas, but also serve as a springboard for the Qing Dynasty to enter the South Seas." Yi Zhixiang smiled and said in a flat tone, "If the prince is not afraid of infamy, he may be able to earn an iron hat." ”

Mianyu's heart jumped, and she no longer had the calmness of Fang Cai, "Can you really do it once and for all?" ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly: "The Qing Dynasty is not short of people now, but it is overpopulated, there are many people and few places, and half of the population of Annan is immigrants from the Qing Dynasty. ”

Listening to this, where can Mianyu not understand what the other party means, I have to say, it is a little ruthless, but it can indeed be done once and for all! After glancing at Yi Zhicontentment, he said: "This king is not only the general of the southern expedition, but also the younger brother of the current emperor, for the long-term interests of the Qing Dynasty, why be afraid of a mere notoriety?" As he spoke, he smiled, "The Yuanqi group can't practice more than 10,000 people, I'm afraid it's powerless?" ”

"And the navy." Yi Zhizhi said: "The navy has recruited 10,000, and 6,000 new troops are added every year, and in five years, 50,000 new troops are enough to sweep through Annam." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the stairs, and Yi Su walked over slowly, and arched his hand: "The little nephew has seen the emperor's uncle." ”

"The fourth is here?" Mianyu said and stretched out his hand and said, "Sit." ”

Why did Yi Su come too? Yi Zhishu was a little surprised, I only saw him yesterday, and I saw him today, how could it be so coincidental? What is the intention of this kid to come forward all the time? Yi Zhixiang wondered in his heart, he really didn't dare to be rude, so he hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "I've seen the fourth elder brother below." ”

"This king is the most tolerant of red tape." Mianyu chuckled and greeted: "Sit, you are not an outsider, there is no need to be formal." ”

What do you mean by not being an outsider? It seems that the relationship between this Mianyu and Yi Su is extraordinary, it should be optimistic that Yi Su may support Yi Su, this eyesight is good, Yi Zhi is content to sit calmly, but he secretly complains in his heart, he doesn't want to get involved in the prince's struggle for the prince, after all, this Yi Su is a short-lived ghost, besides, when Yi Su Yuji ascends the throne, the court can no longer threaten Yuan Qi, he doesn't need to do much.

As soon as he sat down, Yi Su smiled and said: "I just met Mr. Du on the road, and when I mentioned Mr. Yi, Mr. praised him greatly, saying that Mr. Yi is a rare economic talent in my Qing Dynasty." ”

Hearing this, Mianyu understood that Du Shoutian should have some scruples, and in order to avoid suspicion, he did not come to the banquet.

Yi Zhishu was a little surprised, Mr. Du in Yisu's mouth was obviously Du Shoutian, but he didn't expect Du Shoutian to be Yisu's teacher? In his mouth, he said humbly: "Master Du praised falsely, but he just read a few Western books." ”

"Why should Lord Yi be humble." Yi Su said: "Yuan Qi has achieved such an achievement in just a few years, and it is all the merit of Master Yi alone. As he spoke, he changed his words, "I heard that Yuanqi silver shares are publicly traded on the Guangzhou Stock Exchange..... I wonder if we can buy some Yuanqi silver shares? ”

Buying Yuanqi Silver Shares? What do you mean? Although this kid is a prince, he is not divided, how much silver can he have? Yi Zhixiang was vigilant in his heart, but said with a smile: "Since Yuanqi silver shares are publicly traded, naturally anyone can buy them, I don't know how much the fourth elder brother wants to buy?" ”

"I heard that the price of Yuanqi silver stocks is up and down." Yi Su said slowly: "Can you help Master Yi buy a million shares?" ”

A million shares? This kid is so big! Yi Zhishu understood as soon as he thought about it, what stock price is uncertain is an excuse, helping to buy it is just a euphemism, this kid simply wants him to give away one million yuan odd silver shares for nothing! He couldn't help sneering in his heart, he really had a fucking good appetite, and he wasn't afraid of being choked to death! But what is this kid trying to do? Or is it sincere extortion?

After glancing at Mianyu, he said slowly: "130 million shares of Yuanqi silver shares, only one million shares, it is really not enough to worry about it, the fourth elder brother has opened his mouth, this is busy in the next certain help, however, it is difficult for Yuanqi silver shares to fall again, it will only rise slowly all the way, one million silver shares, according to the market price, at least seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, the fourth elder brother can take out so much silver?" ”

Yi Su didn't have the idea of wooing Yi Zhizhi at all, listening to the meaning of Mianyu's words yesterday, Daoguang seemed to be dealing with Yuan Qi, and he should have a plan, how could he take the risk of wooing Yi Zhixiang at this time? When he said this, he was just trying to see if he could get a sum of money from Yuan Qi.

In his mind, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is very promising to inherit the unification, Yi Zhizhi has always had a long-term vision, for the long-term consideration of Yuan Qi, he will not easily offend him, the eldest son of the emperor, as long as he speaks, Yi Zhizhi will definitely not refuse, and Yuan Qi has donated tens of millions of taels of silver to the imperial court over the years, and he will definitely not offend him for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Seeing that Yi Zhishu didn't seem to sell his account as a prince, Yi Su was naturally uncomfortable, but he was unwilling, and said with a forced smile: "Isn't it possible for Yuan Qi to mortgage and borrow, over the years, my father has also rewarded me with a lot of good things......" ”

Mortgage something from the Imperial Gift? Yuan Qi dare to collect? This kid is a bully! It's a strong begging for evil! Yi Zhishu was annoyed in his heart, since the creation of Yuanqi, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing! Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he replied: "Yuanqi is now tightening the monetary base and does not lend to the outside world." ”

Saying that, he stood up and bowed his hand to Mianyu, and said: "I have to go back and write the excerpt overnight, the prince is gracious, and I have received it in my heart!" Leave! With that, he strode away.

Seeing that Yi Zhixiang even blamed him, Mian Yu couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't expect Yi Zhicontent's reaction to be so big, and he didn't expect Yi Zhixiang to show no mercy to Yisu, the eldest son of the emperor.

Yi Su didn't expect Yi Zhi's reaction to be so intense, seeing that the other party completely ignored him, he left, his face was swollen and red, he was the eldest son of the emperor, and the ministers saw him on weekdays, which one was not polite and respectful, how could he have been so ignored? Although he is a young man and an old man, he is a teenager after all, and today he invited Du Shoutian to the banquet and was refused, he was already on fire, and he was ignored by Yi Zhicontentment, his heart was on fire, he slapped the coffee table, and shouted: "Presumptuous!" ”

Yi Zhizu stopped and turned around, looking directly at Yi Su, his gaze was pressing, and his tone was cold, "Fourth Elder Brother should not want to make this matter in front of the saint?" ”

Give Yi Su a hundred guts, he didn't dare to stab this matter in front of Daoguang, he was a little afraid, and hurriedly looked at Mianyu, Mianyu was also annoyed in his heart, as soon as this kid came, he made the scene to the point of being out of control in a few words, he faintly felt that Yi Su's move seemed to have touched the bottom line of Yi Zhi's contentment, and immediately stood up, forced himself to laugh and said: "Since the country has an errand in the city, you can't drink and have fun, this king will send you out of the park." ”

The two of them walked out of the pavilion, and Mianyu said, "The fourth elder brother is young ........" ”

Yi Zhizu waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Some openings can't be opened, otherwise Yuan Qi will not be able to withstand the toss even if he has a sea of gold and silver." ”

Sure enough, it touched Yuan Qi's bottom line, Mianyu sighed secretly, this matter can't be turned around at all, but he has to pick him out by himself, Yi Su is not afraid of falling out with Yi Zhi, he is the general of Zhengnan, and he also wants to rely on Yuan Qi's regiment to practice pacifying Annan to win military merits, and even said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, poke this matter up, this king can speak ..... bluntly." ”

"That's not necessary." Yi Zhizu shook his head, not to mention that he didn't dare to conclude whether Mianyu would be righteous and outspoken, even if Mianyu could speak directly, it would be useless, Daoguang would reprimand Yi Su a few words at most, what else could he do?

Seeing that Yi Zhishu had no intention of stabbing this matter in front of Daoguang, Mianyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and diligently sent Yi Zhifen outside the gate, then quickly turned back, went up to the second floor, and saw Yi Xi sitting and drinking tea with a gloomy face, and immediately said angrily: "Unprovoked, how did you think of asking for Yuanqi silver shares?" Yuanqi's silver is so easy to deceive, can it develop to this point in just a few years? ”

Yi Su said with a depressed face: "Yuan Qi has donated a lot to the imperial court over the years, but it is only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver...... ”

"That's it?" Mianyu sneered: "Your fifth uncle is just a panty, and he can't make up seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, you are good, you dare to slander Yuanqi for such a large amount when you open your mouth, is it really not possible for Yuanqi to be kneaded by others?" ”

"That's what it means to be offended." Yi Su stiffened his neck and said, "Anyway, my father wants to deal with Yuan Qi ......" ”

"Confused!" Mianyu had a look of hatred that iron could not become steel, "What the emperor is dealing with is not Yuan Qi, but Yuan Qi's group training!" Now the imperial court is inseparable from Yuanqi at all, conquest of Annam, preparation for the construction of the navy, construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou railway, issuance of treasury bonds, and improvement of financial difficulties...... Each of these piles has to rely on Yuan Qi, otherwise, can it be so deep that it is easy to be content to arrive at the Holy Grace? ”

What do you want to deal with Yuanqi group training? Yi Su was a little anxious at this time, "He won't stab his father, right?" ”

"Not really." Mianyu comforted him before saying, "However, you have fallen out with Yi Zhishu this time, and try not to meet him these days." ”

actually let him, the eldest son of the emperor, hide from Yi Zhicontent! Yi Su felt aggrieved, but nodded obediently. (To be continued.) )
