Triggered a large-scale run, prompting Yuanqi Bank to go bankrupt, which was proposed by Erle and Bu, Yiyun did not hide it, and bowed slightly: "Yuanqi's large-scale false issuance of paper money has caused serious dissatisfaction among the gentry in the northern provinces. ”

Ci'an glanced at the two of them with a somewhat cold expression, if the Yuanqi Bank was spread to issue large-scale false banknotes, and then deliberately triggered a large-scale run, the northern gentry who had long been dissatisfied with Yuanqi would inevitably deliberately run on it, and Yuanqi was afraid that he would really not be able to deal with it this time.

After a moment of silence, she said slowly, "Erle and Bu kneel down." ”

Hearing this, Erle and Buzi knew that the two of them wanted to be private, so they hurriedly saluted, bowed and withdrew, and then Ci'an said in a deep voice: "Uncle Huang is ready to break with Yuan Qi openly and completely?" ”

"It's a matter of time." Yi Xun said nonchalantly: "Now is an extremely rare opportunity!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Ci'an tried his best to say in a rather stable tone: "Uncle Huang should know how many crises Yuan Qi has experienced since the day it was founded, and there have been several large-scale runs, and the result is that Yuan Qi not only did not go out of business, but became stronger and stronger, and Uncle Huang was sure to take a gamble?" ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yi Xun's eyes, and he said resolutely: "Rather than waiting for Yuan Qi to send troops to fight after the Northern Catastrophe, it is better to strike first!" Even if Yuan Qi can't go out of business this time, at least it can make Yuan Qi's vitality hurt a lot, and he can buy more time for Sheng Jing! ”

Seeing his iron-hearted appearance, Ci'an's tone changed, and he said softly: "Has Uncle Huang ever thought that if Yuanqi wants to implement the gold standard, there is no need to ask for a decree at all, and the Mingfa Holy Decree is not in time for Yuanqi Bank to publish an announcement in the newspaper, why does Yuanqi want Baba's request?" ”

Yi Xun was stunned for a moment, "The Queen Mother is saying that this is a trap?" ”

"Uncle Huang should know that Yuan Qi's ears and eyes are pervasive." Ci'an said unhurriedly: "Shengjing restored the small imperial court, expanded the imperial village, increased taxes, compiled and trained Zhuang Ding, and purchased a large number of machines to prepare for the construction of military factories...... one by one, not to mention hiding from Yi Guocheng, even Yi Yi could not hide it."

But why did Yuan Qi pay the royal family and the imperial court's salary to the forbidden army never less? Even the funds for disaster relief in Liaodong, funds for immigrants in Northeast China, universal education, and cash-for-work are still allocated? Yuan Qi has a lot of silver and has nowhere to spend it?

Also, the east tour of the palace worships the ancestors, and more than 100,000 forbidden troops accompany them, why didn't Yuan Qi stop it? The palace has been stranded in Shengjing for nearly a year, has the cabinet ever urged the palace to return to Beijing? ”

Listening to her repeated questions, Yi Yi felt a little confused for a while, the other party had not spoken to him in such a strong tone for a long time, and after hesitating, he said: "Isn't it because of the drought in the north that it is not suitable to use troops, in order to stabilize us?" ”

"Steady? With Shengjing's strength, can he stand on his own? Or can you wave your way into the customs? Ci'an asked unceremoniously, and then said in a deep voice: "Yuan Qi is deliberately conniving, conniving at Sheng Jing to sit big step by step, and wait for Sheng Jing to send an excuse to be requisitioned in the open!" ”

Intentional connivance? Yi Xun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Qi may have a heart of connivance, but it is also a fact that there is a great drought in the nine northern provinces, and Yuan Qi is unable to use troops in the northeast!" ”

Seeing that he was stubborn, Ci'an sighed lightly and said slowly: "There is a great drought in the north, Yuan Qi can be said to be doing his best to help, the government and the opposition are obvious to all, and now the drought is still continuing, Uncle Huang accused Yuan Qi of issuing paper money in vain at this time, and deliberately caused a large-scale run, which will be pointed out by thousands of people, and will lose the hearts of the people, and even King Gong will be forced to publicly denounce it due to the situation."

Even if Yuan Qi has no intention of going on the Northern Expedition for the time being, in the case of public condemnation from the government and the opposition, he will take advantage of the situation and raise troops to launch the Northern Expedition, so as to shock the world and alleviate the risk of a run. Is Uncle Huang ready for war? ”

Yi Xun was speechless for a long time, plus the garrison in the three northeastern provinces and the newly trained Zhuang Yong, Shengjing's strength was only 200,000 people, at this time, the war was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, the combat power of Yuanqi's new army was far from being comparable to the forbidden army, if it weren't for this self-knowledge, he would have already set up Ci'an to stand on his own feet in Shengjing.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed lightly: "Even if this is the case, it is still a good ...... without any extraneous branches." ”

Seeing his fear, Ci'an hit the railroad while it was hot: "Uncle Huang is in command of more than 100,000 troops, and it should be clear that this is not the era of invincible cavalry and archery, not to mention the light and flexible, powerful land artillery, with semi-automatic rifles, Makqin machine guns are enough to crush the cavalry."

Looking at the American Civil War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War, today's wars are not only about money and food, but also about finance, transportation, and industrial base.

Sensei said that Yuanqi would not give Uncle Huang time to consolidate and develop the Northeast, that is, to give ten or eight years, Sheng Jing can really compete with Yuanqi to protect himself or be self-reliant? ”

Yi Xun didn't say anything, he was ambitious when he was in Beijing, thinking that as long as he arrived in Shengjing, he could show his strength, and he could be self-reliant in the Northeast, but after he arrived in Shengjing, he was struggling, England and France ignored him at all, and wanted to develop industry, but he had neither foundation nor talent and lack of funds.

Judging from the current situation, let alone ten or eight years, it is impossible to compete with Yuan Qi in twenty or thirty years, the longer the time, the bigger the gap, and besides, it is impossible for Yuan Qi to be so long-term indulgent.

It is precisely because he clearly understands this that he wants to seize this opportunity to take the risk of Bo, only if Yuanqi goes out of business, Shengjing will have a chance, and Daqing will have a chance! But even this so-called opportunity was a trap, and he couldn't help but be disheartened.

After being silent for a long time, he said in a muffled voice: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, and now you can only go all the way to the dark." ”

"Uncle Huang's words are wrong." Ci'an's voice softened a little unconsciously, "Whether it is the palace or King Gong, the reason why they agree to a peaceful constitution is not only to follow the trend, but also to extend the Qing Dynasty. This time to visit the ancestors in the east, King Gong's attitude is very clear, it is support and laissez-faire.

Because King Gong also hoped to preserve a Manchurian army with a certain size and combat power in Shengjing, so as to ensure the continuation of the Qing Dynasty to the greatest extent. ”

Yi Xun glanced at her suspiciously, "Sixth brother really supports?" ”

"Of course." A smile appeared at the corner of Ci'an's mouth, "King Gong intends to establish the Shengjing Military Region, so that the imperial uncle can be stationed in the three eastern provinces, but he must not expand the army, he must not set up a small court, he must not interfere in government affairs, and the palace and the emperor must lead 20,000 forbidden troops back to Beijing." ”

Yi Yi said in a deep voice: "Yi Guocheng will agree?" ”

"Without a legitimate excuse and reason for crusade, even if Yi Guocheng disagrees, what can he do?" Ci'an said slowly: "As long as the Senior Administration Yuan agrees, Yi Guocheng can't openly oppose it, right?" With the support of King Gong, the Senior Council can definitely pass by a majority vote. ”

Yi Yi couldn't help but be moved, once the senior council passed the decision, even if Yi Guocheng was unwilling, he would not openly oppose it, so that he could justifiably stay in Shengjing, as long as the military power was in hand, he would be a veritable king of the Northeast!

Jingshi, Xuanwumen, Qiaolou.

Surrounded by a group of officials, Yi Yi stood on the city wall with a gratifying face and looked at the wide black asphalt road below, which lasted two years, the pavement hardening project of Jingshi Street and alleys has been basically completed, the main road is paved with oil roads, small streets and alleys are paved with cement pavement or bluestone slabs, and sewers have been completed at the same time - all cement pipes of all sizes have been completed.

His gaze swept over the asphalt avenue and fell on the huge construction site on the side of the wide moat, where thousands of workers were busy on both sides of the mile-long moat.

Glancing at the fluffy reeds and weeping willows by the moat, he had a faint smile on his face, "Shanghai has an avenue along the river, and a park dedicated to playing after tea and dinner, we don't have big rivers in Beijing, but there are canals and moats, plan both sides of the river well, plant more willows and flowers, and harden the road surface, and the people of Beijing will have a place .......to relax after tea and dinner." ”

Shuntian Mansion Yin Wanqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, this is a big project, and now the cement supply is ...... tight." ”

"The tight cement supply is only temporary." Yi Yi said disapprerovingly: "The second phase of the expansion of Tangshan Cement Plant has been completed, and the Tianjin Cement Plant has been officially put into operation, so there is no need to worry about the lack of cement supply." After a pause, he continued: "Now that the drought is still going on, no one knows how many years this drought will last, so it should be a cash-for-work project." ”

"Lord Wang." Xie Xiuyuan, Minister of Duzhi, said slowly: "The reconstruction of Tianjin Wei is also in full swing, as a key project of the Beijing-Tianjin cement road has a greater demand for cement, and in the past year and a half, the cement supply is not generally tight." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the moat, "With all due respect, the moat is no longer necessary to ...... now. ”

Yi Yi turned around and said with a smile on his face: "The proposal made by the King of Zhennan for the reconstruction of the Jingshi is to maintain the original pattern of the Jingshi as much as possible, and not to destroy it in vain, focusing on the city walls, gates and moats of the inner city, and let us pay attention to the people's livelihood projects." ”

Seeing that he brought out Yi Zhicontentment, Xie Xiuyuan naturally didn't want to object anymore, and hurriedly said: "It's the ...... that the lower officials are shallow." ”

Yi Yi didn't want him to be embarrassed, waved his hand, and said: "It's that the king of Zhennan has too long-term vision, saying that he wants to leave a complete inner city ....... for future generations." ”

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Su Shun's footsteps hurriedly ascending the tower, and immediately changed his head, "Let's think about it first." As he spoke, he paced over, Su Shunxu took two steps, and said softly: "Sheng Jing called, it's the seventh master." ”
