Yuanqi stickers, save ninety-eight, take one hundred, a period of one month, this is when Yuanqi was founded, in order to compete with other money Zhuang silver number depositors deliberately launched, the interest is as high as two cents or more, it is very attractive to a large number of powerful depositors, after the monopoly of Guangzhou money bank, Yuanqi stickers will be canceled, although it is short-lived, but Yuanqi stickers still left a deep impression on the gentry and businessmen in Guangzhou.

The reason why Kong Jian'an mentioned the Yuanqi discount is because the treasury bonds sold at a ninety-five discount or nine-fold discount are very similar to the discounts, not only are they more flexible than the discounts, because the treasury bonds sold through the stock exchange can be traded at any time, and the interest rate is higher than the discounts.

Yi Zhifu didn't expect Kong Jian'an to be more radical than him, and directly proposed a nine-fold discount, obviously, the other party's purpose is to push out all the national bonds, although Yuan Qi is in a bad situation at the moment, but the loss of one million taels, Yuan Qi can survive with a tight trouser pocket, if the national debt is smashed in his hands, it will be a big trouble.

The room was quiet for a while, and Xie Xiuyuan said: "The sale of nine-fold is bound to cause a sensation, but whether it can cause a scramble for purchase, it is difficult to say, there is a way that good goods are not cheap, and the treasury bonds sold at nine-fold discounts will inevitably make people suspicious of treasury bonds, after all, the issuance of treasury bonds is still the first time in our Qing Dynasty, and the vast majority of people don't know what treasury bonds are?" ”

"There is no need to worry, the "Xiguan Daily" can introduce the situation of treasury bonds in a series of articles, including the significance of issuing treasury bonds, the history and current situation of the issuance of treasury bonds in European countries, and so on." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "The reason why we propose to sell treasury bonds at a low price is not only to sell treasury bonds smoothly, but also to allow the first batch of people who buy treasury bonds to make money.

It's like doing business, and investing some money in total, isn't it? The loss of 50 or 1 million yuan is regarded as the capital invested by yuan qi to the stock exchange, and the treasury bonds can be issued smoothly, traded normally, and can make money steadily, which is equivalent to making an excellent publicity for the stock exchange, and it will be much easier for yuan qi to launch various stocks in the future. ”

Kong Jian'an said keenly: "The first group of people who buy treasury bonds can make money, but what about the people who buy later?" Could it be a drum and a flower? ”

"Treasury bonds are low-risk, low-return, and relatively stable financial investments." Yi Zhisuff explained: "This is the first time that the government and the opposition have issued treasury bonds, and I would suggest a five-year period, the shorter the term, the smaller the risk, as long as the imperial court shows no signs of collapse, the fluctuation range of treasury bonds will not be too large." ”

Hearing this, Xie Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment before he said: "Big shopkeeper, I heard that the 100-yuan treasury bonds issued by England once fell to five yuan at the lowest, which is no different from waste paper, is this true?" ”

"Yes." Yi Zhizu nodded and said: "You are talking about the most famous 'Waterloo financial speculation' in Europe, and that situation is extremely special, because the Battle of Waterloo is a battle between England and France to gamble on their national fortunes, and it can even be said to be a battle of life and death.

In the first battle of Waterloo, England finally won the battle, and the British national debt fell from tens of dollars to five yuan in just two or three days, and then rose from five yuan to more than 100 yuan, and the Rothschilds became the biggest winners. ”

After a pause, he continued: "We are different from the situation in Europe, Europe is the same area as ours but there are dozens of large and small countries, conquest is endless, but we are a big unification, unless it is a change of dynasty, otherwise the treasury bonds issued by the imperial court will not fluctuate much, although it is an eventful autumn at the moment, but the imperial court rule can still be said to be as stable as a rock, five-year treasury bonds, without the slightest risk." ”

Hearing him say this, Xie Xiuyuan said eagerly: "Since we make money and don't lose money, can we buy treasury bonds privately?" ”

"Of course." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "Not only can you buy, but you should also encourage everyone to buy, not only for example, but also to make money, why not?" ”

"Then you can have a good fight this time." Xie Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Last time, I made a lot of money in the tea market with the big shopkeeper, but unfortunately I was a little timid. ”

"Financial speculation must be bold and careful, but also know how to stop." Yi Zhizhi said and knocked the cigarette ash, pulled the topic back, and said: "The matter of opening a stock exchange, you think about it, see what precautions there are, in addition, nine-five or nine-fold, you also need to weigh it well." ”

Yuehua Academy, Qin Cha Xingyuan.

It was already the third watch, the night was as cold as water, and in the courtyard, Qi Shan was pacing slowly in a gauze gown, and after sending away all the officials who came to visit, he calmed down and pondered how to write an excerpt for Daoguang.

When he was in Beijing, he only heard that the scale of Yuanqi Bank was large, and he didn't think much about it, and the scale of Yuanqi Bank, which can monopolize the money-saving industry, is naturally not small, but after inspecting Yuanqi's factories in Henan Island today, he really realized how big Yuanqi's scale is.

When he inspected the factories on Henan Island, what struck him the most was not the clusters of tall chimneys, not the machines that could make deafening noises and seemed to have infinite power, but the huge number of workers in the factory, roughly estimated, estimated to be tens of thousands, and all of them were young and strong.

Listening to Lin Zexu's introduction, Yuanqi also has a Donghuang silk company, in the South China Sea, Panyu, Shunde, Xiangshan and other surrounding counties opened dozens of large-scale machine silk reeling factories, just silk reeling female workers as many as 30,000 people, in addition to Changhua County, Qiongzhou Prefecture also opened a large iron ore factory, with tens of thousands of mining miners.

If you add the Yuanqi Bank itself in the lower prefectures and counties, the Yuanqi group training, and the many resettlement villages built by Yuanqi, Yuanqi controls at least 100,000 people under his name, which is simply to the point of appalling, and it is no wonder that Daoguang wants to apportionment 10 million taels of treasury bonds to Yuanqi Bank in the situation of Yuanqi's tight funds.

It is easy to know that this big treasurer of Yuanqi is satisfied with the huge amount of 10 million taels of treasury bonds apportioned to Yuanqi, and he actually accepts it with only a little consideration, and he also strongly supports the issuance of treasury bonds by the imperial court, and considers the imperial court everywhere.

Lin Zexu accompanied the inspection today, and in and out of his words, he also spoke for Yuan Qi everywhere, so he just patted his chest to ensure that Yuan Qi would definitely not become a disaster for the imperial court.

In fact, judging from what Yuan Qi did, he didn't believe that Yuan Qi had bad intentions, and he contributed funds to build the Fozhou-Guangzhou Railway for the imperial court to inspect the railway, and took the initiative to donate a huge amount of silver taels to buy Western artillery muskets for the Guangdong Navy Division to strengthen the defense of Humen, and sent troops to assist the Navy Division to sharpen his sword and encircle and annihilate Yingyi, and sent troops across the sea to recover Dinghai at his own expense.

To say that the only thing that makes the court feel uneasy is the 10,000 yuan odd group practice, but this 10,000 group practice is not Yuan Qi himself to form, but under the strong supervision of Lin Zexu and Deng Tingzhen, such a large-scale group training was formed, and he complained about Yuan Qi?

Daoguang obviously knows all these things, but why is he still wary of Yuan Qi? What's the problem? Minister of League Training! Yi Zhicontent wants to be the minister of group training, what kind of intention is this? This is to preserve the Yuanqi regimental training for a long time, such a strong combat power, the scale is not small, and even the Eight Banners Green Battalion is difficult to compete with, in the hands of Yuanqi, who has abundant funds, it is enough to make the imperial court sleep.

Thinking of this, he sighed, Daoguang was wary of Yuan Qi, but Yuan Qi was loyal to the imperial court, his errand was difficult to do, tomorrow when he went to the Henan regiment training camp, which holy decree should be read?

For the great victory of grinding the knife and the great victory of Dinghai, Daoguang gave Qi Shan two commendation decrees, and acted with his camera, of course he knew that the so-called camera action refers to Yuan Qi's attitude towards the 10 million national debt, to undertake the national debt, and to reward it heavily! Don't undertake, light reward!

Now that Yuan Qi has made it clear that he will accept the national debt, and it is sincere, it stands to reason that he has no hesitation, and he will be rewarded directly, but Daoguang's attitude towards Yuan Qi makes him a little uncertain.

As soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, Lin Zexu accompanied him to inspect Yuan Qi, not to let him see what Western strange skills and tricks, but to let him see Yuan Qi's strength and ability, and implicitly mention him, for Yuan Qi, when appeased, for this point, he was like a mirror in his heart, but Yuan Qi was ambitious, and he wanted to develop to Jiangnan, Daoguang would sooner or later make a move on Yuan Qi, and when the time came, I was afraid that he would be angry with him for rewarding Yuan Qi's group practice today.

But if it is a light reward, it is also inappropriate, this not only involves the reward of the Guangdong sailor, but also related to the prestige of the imperial court and the reputation of Daoguang, the reward and punishment are unknown, but it is taboo, I am afraid that I will be reprimanded by Daoguang immediately. Weigh the two phases, or take care of the current and future things, who can say clearly?

The two lanterns slowly moved over, and when they arrived, a young girl whispered, "Liang Ama is paying attention to her body at night here." ”

"Amma knows." Qi Shan said with a smile, this is his pearl in the palm - Jin Ling, his most doting little daughter in Pingsu, heard that he came to Guangzhou, begged to come with him to open his eyes, he couldn't help it, so he had to take her with him, a little pause, he continued: "A night of sitting and seeing people and talking about things, walking around a little, the right is to relax the bones of the body." ”

Jin Ling said with a smile: "My daughter specially boiled japonica rice porridge for Amma, and Ama used some of it." ”

"I'm really hungry for that." Qi Shan turned his head as he spoke, and said, "Ama has been busy these days, so I'll take you out for a few days, and then I'll take you out to visit this Guangzhou city." ”

"State affairs are paramount." Jin Ling said with an empathetic face: "Ama doesn't need to worry about her daughter. ”

There is a way to know that a daughter is not as good as a father, Qi Shan is very clear about his little daughter's temperament, but it is not a sitting temperament at all, after thinking about it, he said: "There are many skilled painters in Guangzhou, especially good at painting portraits, Ama will find a painter to paint a few pictures for you?" ”

"Sheaama." Jin Ling said happily: "My daughter heard that there are many painting shops in Xiguan, specializing in painting portraits of people, and there is a painter named Gro Ga II, who is not small. ”

Qi Shan said with a smile: "Ama will invite him tomorrow and ask them to paint a few pictures for us Jingdong." ”

Early the next morning, after Yi Zhizhi got up, he hurried to Henan Daying without even drinking morning tea, Qishan was going to Henan Daying to announce the decree today, he rushed to arrange it in advance, he didn't understand anything about receiving the order, but he was not worried, Wu Changqing was there, Wu Bingjian had seen pigs run even if he had never eaten pork, and he would definitely tell Wu Changqing about the precautions.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the Henan camp, Wu Changqing was already commanding a group of regimental warriors who were busy arranging, and when he saw him coming, Wu Changqing came up and complained: "This is too hasty." ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled and said: "Isn't it just to receive a holy decree, don't you have to be too troublesome?" ”

"You should be in your own home, just set up an incense case?" Wu Changqing rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "This is in the big camp, the more grand it is, the more it shows the loyalty of the Yuanqi regimental training." ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "I don't understand the rules, the evergreen arrangement is." As he spoke, he asked, "Have they all been notified?" ”

"I sent someone to notify you separately last night." Wu Changqing said, "The battalions surrounded by Xiao Hoop, are you content to send people to spread the word?" ”

The regimental warriors with military achievements were all stationed in Xiaohoop, and Yi Zhizhi would not forget to inform them, so he immediately nodded and said, "Someone has been sent." ”

The two were talking, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Wu Yundong wearing a neat military uniform and walking quickly in high spirits, Wu Changqing glanced at him and hesitated: "Should I also change into a military uniform?" ”

Yi Zhishu glanced at the oily and slippery braid that he dragged behind him, and said, "You have such a thick braid, how can you wear a military hat?" ”

Wu Changqing was reluctant to cut off his braids, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It won't be inappropriate, right?" ”

"It's fine." Yi Zhicontent smiled: "Brother Junhu who is waiting, they are here, you will not be conspicuous." ”

Wu Yundong strode up to him, saluted a military salute according to the rules, and then said with a smile: "They haven't arrived yet?" ”

"It should be soon." Yi Zhizu looked him up and down as he spoke, and said: "I have been in the camp for more than half a year, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener in the Knife Grinding Ocean, and the reward from the imperial court is about to come down, what's the matter, are you still willing to continue in the camp?" ”

What does this mean? Let him lead the troops? Wu Yundong was excited in his heart, he had long wanted to lead the troops, but Yi Zhishu never spoke, and he didn't dare to ask more, now that he saw that it was an opportunity, where did he dare to hesitate, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Mark willing." ”

"You are impulsive, let you command the troops, I'm afraid of hurting you." Yi Zhizhi groaned: "Go back and ask your family for advice first, and then we'll decide." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Yundong suddenly became stunned, the old man of his family did not approve of him commanding the troops in the regimental training battalion, he only hoped that he would be exposed to the light of the regimental training, he muttered softly: "The mark is not the only son in the family, and his temperament can be sharpened." ”

"It's not negotiable." Yi Zhizhi smiled: "I'm afraid that your old man will make trouble for me." (To be continued.) )
