The two pairs of flower candlesticks on the coffee table on the desk in the room exuded bright and soft candlelight, Yi Zhixiang glanced at the heroic young man in front of him, only twelve or thirteen years old Yixun had a faint smile on his face, his demeanor was calm, and he had a maturity and stability that did not match his age. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In terms of appearance, Yi Xun is not like his fourth brother Yi Xun, perhaps because of different mothers, Yi Xun looks delicate, but because of smallpox left some flesh and pockmarks, Yi Xun looks very heroic, but also much stronger, I think I should be skilled in bow horses.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, he can only be regarded as a child in the next generation, but as a prince, Yixun has begun to win over ministers in order to compete for the throne, Yi Zhixin secretly sighed in his heart, but he felt that Zhuo Bingtian and Yixun were still a little cautious, if they wanted to show favor and woo, why did they sneak here at night? In contrast, Yi Su's courage was much fatter, and he dared to blatantly ask him for one million yuan qi silver shares.

Now that Daoguang is old, he doesn't have a few years to live, and the two brothers who have the ability to compete for the storage position are the old four Yixu and the sixth Yixun, he and the fourth Yixu can be said to have torn their faces, but he hopes that the short-lived ghost of the fourth Yixu will inherit the unification, how to face the pull from the old six?

The three of them sat down, Zhuo Bingtian took out a gift slip and pushed it over the coffee table, and said: "The national city moved to a new home, raised the nationality and flag, and a little light gift, which is a part of the sixth elder brother's heart." ”

Yixun hasn't been divided yet, and he's young, where does he get the silver to give gifts? Most of it was a gift from Zhuo Bingtian, who was a teacher, and Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "It is already a great .....honor for the sixth elder brother to come to congratulate him. ”

"The national city proposed the issuance of national bonds, the construction of railways, the preparation of the navy, the conquest of Annam, and the establishment of factories and ......" Zhuo Bingtian said slowly: "The sixth elder brother has always admired the national city, but he just took this opportunity to express his heart, and the national city does not need to refuse. ”

"That being the case, I laughed at it." Yi Zhishu said and said with his hand arched over Yixun: "Brother Xie Liu." ”

Seeing that he received the gift happily, Yixun smiled and returned the salute, and said: "Lord Yi and I don't need to be polite, during this time in Beijing, I still want to find more opportunities to ask Lord Yi about economic and Western convenience." ”

Does this mean that you will have to move around more in the future? Yi Zhizhi smiled, "I don't dare to boast about the economy, but when it comes to the understanding of the Western world pattern, I still know a little bit about it, and if the sixth elder brother is interested, he is welcome at any time." ”

"Why should the city be humble? In the commercial economy, if the national city is the second, who dares to be the first? Zhuo Bingtian said with a smile: "Not only the sixth elder brother, but also the headquarters also hope to find more opportunities to sit and discuss with the national city, the first few times we met, we were in a hurry, this is a rare opportunity, we will definitely bother it." ”

"Always welcome." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "I hope that our Qing Dynasty can have more economic talents, especially officials, who are officials and do not understand the economy, and it is really difficult to benefit the local people." ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Bingtian was greatly pleased, and said with a smile: "Since Guocheng has this intention, Bubutang will bring a few young heroes over and let them listen." ”

In the next few days, Daoguang was not summoned, Yi Zhizhi was not idle, and visited Pan Shien, Wang Ding, Qi Liaozao and several military ministers, Pan Shien and Wang Ding needless to say, since they came to Jingshi, they should go to visit, Qi Liaozao, the new minister of military aircraft and the secretary of the household department, Yuan Qi has a lot of opportunities to deal with the household department in the future, and he naturally has to visit.

Furthermore, Daoguang gave marriage and house, raised his nationality and entered the flag, and seemed to have a faint idea of staying in Beijing, and he also walked around, and when the time came, someone would help him talk, and he didn't want to stay in the Quartet of Beijing.

After a few days of busyness, he finally got rid of it, this morning, Yi Zhishu was planning to go out to buy a few maids, there were no maids in the Viscount's Mansion of Nuoda, there were no maids and no people, just him and a group of guards, it was really inconvenient, the last time he came to Beijing, there were people to send maids, but this time he was going to settle in Beijing, but no one sent maids.

The reason, Yi Zhishu pondered a little, but also understood, the maid, especially the personal maid through the room, that is the people around him, he used to be in Shanghai in Guangzhou, thousands of miles away, it doesn't matter if he sends the maid, but in Beijing, sending the maid again may make people misunderstand that it is to put eyes and ears in his house, this kind of thankless thing is naturally no one wants to do.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a carriage stop outside the door, and Jin Ling, who was dressed as a man, jumped out of the car, he couldn't help but smile, why did this aunt come over today? He immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "A few days ago, your mansion came to congratulate you, why didn't you see Brother Jin coming?" ”

Jin Ling glanced at him and said, "There are no female dependents in your house, and we don't even have anyone to greet when we come, how can we come?" As he spoke, he looked him up and down and said, "Something to do when you go out?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm going to buy some maids." Yi Zhizhi said: "Brother Jin, is there something wrong? ”

"Just to take a look." Jin Ling said: "If you buy a maid, you still go to the tooth shop, which saves a lot of trouble." ”

Easy to know content can not buy less maids, in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Jiangning, Hangzhou have sent people to buy a large number of maids, from the tooth shop to buy a maid although the price is more expensive, but it is indeed worry-free, one is the legitimacy of the guarantee, the other is guaranteed, clear the way, if the girl escapes, the tooth line also bears the responsibility of recovery, and then there is a 'repentance' period, that is, the probation period, the period is not satisfied can be returned.

However, the maids that can be bought by Yuan Qi can be said to have burned high incense in their previous lives, and the maids purchased by Yuan Qi are all for the purpose of cultivating new professional women such as female workers, female staff, nurses, primary and secondary school teachers, newspaper reporters, etc., and there are almost no constraints on them, so he naturally does not worry about those problems, even if something happens, it is a big deal to do good deeds.

Of course, for Jin Ling's kind reminder, he still appreciates it, and most of the maids he bought this time will stay in the Jingshi Mansion, so it's better to be safe, after all, the Jingshi dragon and snake are mixed, so it's right to be cautious, when even the jaw head said: "What Brother Jin reminds is that if you are not familiar with the life in Jingshi, it is better to go to the teeth and walk safely." ”

Jin Ling said: "Since you bought it at the tooth store, why do you have to go in person?" Then they brought people to the house and chose them. ”

It seems that there is something wrong with this woman? Yi Zhixiang originally went out to buy a maid to be distracted, and immediately ordered someone to go to find out the situation of the tooth shop, and smiled at Jin Ling: "Since you are here, go in and sit down." ”

"What is there to sit in your house?" Jin Ling said: "Why don't I take you to visit Jingshi?" ”

What's the matter with me going to Beijing with you? Yi Zhishu wondered in his heart, and groaned slightly, before he said: "If you have anything to say, don't hide it." ”

Jin Ling squirmed rarely, and then said softly: "I have a clan brother who wants to invite you, but he is afraid that he will not move you, so he begged me to come forward." ”

"It seems that there is no good feast." Yi Zhizhi smiled: "Say something first." ”

Since he said it, Jin Ling simply said bluntly: "My brother Song Guixun has a few silver accounts in Jingshi, and he wants to invest in Yuanqi Bank. ”

"How big of a deal is this, and you need to come forward as a lobbyist?" Yi Zhizhi said disapprerovingly: "It's no problem to invest in Yuanqi Bank, however, Yuanqi will not expand significantly in Beijing in the past few years, and its main business is in exchange, and you also know that the water in Jingshi Yinhao Pawnshop is very deep, and Yuanqi doesn't want to test the depth of this pool of water for the time being." ”

"Say this to him yourself." Jin Ling said with a smile, "I owe you a personal favor." ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled, "It's a trivial matter, what kind of unkind ......." After a pause, he said, "Do me a favor, make an appointment with Zaiton, and we'll settle it." ”

"Zaiton? The one in the House of Humbel? Jin Ling chuckled: "You're really interesting, and you're in a hurry, aren't you?" ”

"Nurture the feelings." Yi Zhizhi said with the old god: "The candle night in the cave room, facing a completely strange woman, is really a little unaccustomed. ”

"Cheng, it's up to me." Jin Ling said with a smile.

"Then let's go our separate ways, I'll go to the banquet, and you go to ......." Halfway through the words, Yi Zhixiang stopped, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's going to be changed to the afternoon." Saying that, her chin was raised forward, Jin Ling turned around and saw the three eunuchs hurrying over, and immediately understood that this should be the one who came to Xuanyi Zhizhi to enter the palace to meet her.

Sure enough, the three eunuchs walked up, and the chief eunuch said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, Xuanyi is content to enter the palace to meet him." ”

Jin Ling, who retreated to the side, looked at it very hotly, this guy's holy family is really deep, look at his casual appearance when receiving the order, obviously he is accustomed to it, Yi Zhizhi got up after receiving the order, skillfully took out a silver ticket to reward the eunuch, and then walked over to Jin Ling and said: "Noon, you should be able to leave the palace at noon, you leave an address, I will go by myself." ”

After returning to the house and changing his official robe, Yi Zhizhi hurriedly entered the palace, entered the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and saw Qi Liaozao, the minister of military aircraft and the secretary of the household department, kneeling in front of Daoguang, he was very vigilant in his heart, wouldn't it be to ask Yuan Qi for silver again? In the past few years, the life of the imperial court has not been easy, he is clear, the Yellow River has been flooded for many years, not to mention earthquakes, and natural disasters are frequent, which can be said to be worse for the imperial court.

After seeing the salute, he knelt down behind Qi Liaozao in an orderly manner, and listened to Daoguang and said slowly: "In the past few years, disasters have been frequent, and the imperial court has been unable to make ends meet, so Yuan Qi may dismantle some silver and household departments?" ”

"Yuanqi is also having a hard time now." Yi Zhishu said without hesitation: "I really can't afford to borrow." ”

Qi Liaozao said in a sullen voice: "Can you issue treasury bonds?" ”

"It is feasible to issue indefinite treasury bonds and lottery bonds, but it takes some time to prepare." Yi Zhizhi said in a deep voice: "However, there is one thing that has to be said that in recent years, funds have been raised too frequently in the private sector, whether it is indefinite treasury bonds or lottery bonds, the sales results will not be very optimistic." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Weichen suggested that it is best to postpone the issuance of indefinite treasury bonds and lottery bonds for a year or two, as for the current difficult turnover, you might as well wait, maybe Prince Hui will bring good news to the emperor." ”

Prince Hui Mianyu is now negotiating with the Nguyen family's small court in Vietnam, and when he heard this, Daoguang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked: "How much can Vietnam pay war reparations?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Yi Zhishu hurriedly said: "Weichen suggested that Prince Hui asked for five million taels of silver, and more than half of it should be there. ”

Qi Liaozao said: "Your Majesty, even if Vietnam can pay three million, there is still a gap of three million. ”

Yi Zhizu said loudly: "Since it is disaster relief, lottery tickets can be issued in Beijing." ”

For the issuance of lottery tickets,A number of ministers in the DPRK and China are quite controversial,Jingshi itself has a heavy gambling atmosphere,If it is a lottery ticket,It's tantamount to fueling the fire,Even Daoguang can't easily make up this determination,Seeing Daoguang silent,Qi Liaozao said:"Three million taels of silver,For Yuan Qi,It won't be too difficult, right?" ”

After a slight sigh, Yi Zhizhi said: "Three million, Yuan Qi can draw it, but it can't be drawn, including the national bonds, Yuan Qi has borrowed 30 million taels of silver to the imperial court, even if it is to issue indefinite treasury bonds, the imperial court cannot be unrestrained." Moreover, Yuan Qi is now in its infancy, and the imperial court should support Yuan Qi to grow further, rather than constantly drawing blood from Yuan Qi.

Three million taels of silver, for Yuan Qi, it is completely possible to build a large-scale factory, such a factory, which can house thousands of workers and bring tens of thousands of taels of tax silver to the imperial court every year, and the imperial court should consider it in the long run. ”

Qi Liaozao was secretly frightened when he heard this, for fear that Daoguang would be angry, and he was quiet for a long time, and then Daoguang spoke: "Delay it first, wait for the news of Prince Hui, and kneel down." Easy contentment to stay. ”

After Qi Liaozao withdrew, Daoguangcai sighed lightly: "During my reign of more than 20 years, floods, droughts, locust plagues, and earthquakes have almost continued...... Even if Yuanqi develops rapidly, it will take more than ten years to achieve some results, so is there no other way to deal with it? ”

Listening to this, Yi Zhixiang secretly admired, who said that the light has no foresight, near the end of the Xiaoice River, this period of time is indeed frequent disasters, a little muttering, he said: "The countermeasure is not without ....... Large-scale issuance of indefinite treasury bonds! ”

Large-scale issuance of indefinite treasury bonds? Daoguang listened for a moment and said, "Didn't you just say that the imperial court can't issue indefinite treasury bonds without restraint?" ”

"Imitate England." Yi Zhishu said in a deep voice: "The Bank of England provides the English court with indefinite treasury bonds to issue pounds. ”

Issuing pounds? Daoguang has also paid a lot of attention to England in recent years, and naturally knows that the pound sterling is the banknote issued by England, and he said with doubt: "The pound is not issued by the English court?" ”

"It's not." Yi Zhizhi said: "The pound sterling is issued by the Bank of England, that is, the central bank of England, but the Bank of England does not belong to the English court, not only England, but also Citigroup, and the dollar of Citigroup is not issued by the Citi court. ”

Hearing this, Daoguang understood and issued banknotes! Yuan Qi wants to issue banknotes! (To be continued.) )
