225 Underground Bank
Lin Fei reached out to take the dress on the ground, Li Ying's face suddenly showed shyness, she reached out and pressed the clothes, and said in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, what are you doing with this dress?" ”
Lin Fei smiled lightly and said, "Let me take a look at this dress, okay?" ”
Li Ying's face turned even redder, and she said nonoriously: "What's so nice about this dress?" ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "I think this dress is very good-looking, so I want to see it, what?" Can't watch it? ”
Li Ying thought for a moment, picked up the clothes, turned her back, didn't know what she had done, then turned around, hid her back with one hand, handed out the clothes with the other, and whispered, "Your Majesty, look." ”
Lin Fei smiled helplessly: "What's in the clothes?" Don't let me see it yet. ”
Li Yingjiao said angrily: "There is a secret piece of clothing, you can't show it to others." ”
Lin Fei heard that it was a "secret dress", smiled, didn't say anything, took the dress, this dress is a style often worn by Chinese women, the top is a long-sleeved jacket, the bottom is a long skirt, the small jacket and the long skirt are made of moon-white satin, with a dreamlike brilliance, the silk is embroidered with grass-green patterns, and the skirt is also inlaid with gold edges, which is very beautiful.
Lin Fei stared at the suit of clothes and didn't speak, Li Ying smiled on the side and said, "Your Majesty is a man, how can you be interested in clothes?" Like us girls. ”
Lin Fei didn't answer Li Ying's words, he was still looking at the dress, there was no joy or anger on his face, Lin Fei looked at it, suddenly stretched out his hand towards Li Ying, and said in a commanding tone: "Show me the dress you hid." ”
Li Ying was stunned for a moment, and wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare, so she had to stretch out her hand slowly, and what she was holding in her hand was a pure white bandeau, which was a woman's underwear in this era, so Li Ying was embarrassed to show it to Lin Fei, and now she took it in front of Lin Fei, her face was red with shame, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei stretched out his hand to take the bandeau, as soon as his hand touched it, he felt that it was very soft, knowing that the fabric made of it must be very precious, Lin Fei looked at the bandeau and reached out to return it to Li Ying, Li Ying snatched it down and hid it behind him, Lin Fei put down the dress and asked, "Where did this dress come from?" ”
Li Ying replied, "It was given to me by my cousin." ”
Lin Fei thought for a while and asked, "Is it that your sister Yu'er also has one?" ”
Li Ying exclaimed "ah" and said, "How do you know?" ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "I guess, I think this dress is very beautiful, especially the bandeau with very good fabric, I guess Mr. Wang Ruihe should not favor one over the other." ”
Li Ying nodded and said, "That's right, Sister Yu'er also has a set, which is exactly the same as mine." Li Ying changed her voice as she spoke, and said in a coquettish voice: "My cousin doesn't understand a girl's heart at all, why do you want to give us two sets of exactly the same clothes, it's good to change the color, the clothes of two people are the same, and people will laugh to death if they wear them." ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Okay, I don't have anything else to do, do you still have something?" If not, I'll go back first. ”
Li Ying hurriedly asked, "What about my cousin?" ”
Lin Fei said: "Let him first invest 20 tons of grain into the market, stabilize the price of grain, and discuss it later." ”
Li Ying cheered, Lin Fei turned to say goodbye, and asked before leaving, "Is this your home?" Why didn't you live with Mr. Wang Ruihe? ”
Li Ying said with a smile: "There are a lot of people in my cousin's family, and Master Wang Yao said that it was too inconvenient to work there, so he asked me to move out." ”
Lin Fei then asked, "Then when I have something to do in the future, can I come here to find you?" ”
Li Ying nodded and said, "Of course." ”
Lin Fei nodded, turned around and pushed the door open, Li Ying took advantage of Lin Fei's push to open the door, and asked before he went out, "Your Majesty, why did you look at my clothes just now?" ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Nothing. Then he instructed Li Ying to work hard and so on, turned around and left, Li Ying was confused, and wanted to ask in the back, but Lin Fei had already gone away.
As soon as Lin Fei returned to the Governor's Palace, Wang Ruihe sent someone to deliver a letter and told him the news of the release of grain, Lin Fei said casually: "This Wang Ruihe is still good." ”
At this time, Li Tianqian, a staff officer on the side, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this Wang Ruihe has done something unfavorable to us again..."
Lin Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did Wang Ruihe do again?" ”
Li Tianqian said: "It has been three days since we announced that the Huaxia currency was exchanged for huàn pesos and gold, and today is the fourth day, but none of Wang Ruihe's various commercial houses have come to exchange huàn. ”
Lin Fei frowned and said: "Wang Ruihe is the most influential Chinese businessman in the local area, many ordinary people are looking at them, they don't use Huaxia coins, what will the people think?" ”
Li Tianqian said in a deep voice: "Yes, if this goes on for a long time, it is very likely that our Huaxia coins will not be able to circulate in the market. ”
Lin Fei nodded, and then said, "If they don't redeem huàn, how will the funds work?" Now all banks in Manila must use Huaxia coins for payment settlement, Wang Ruihe does not exchange huàn Huaxia coins, does he use cash and gold every time he settles payments? ”
Li Tianqian said ashamedly: "We haven't investigated this yet. ”
Lin Fei thought for a while and said: "I think this Wang Ruihe should have an underground bank, and their transactions with other merchants rely on the underground bank to complete the transfer of funds, you go and check the underground bank." ”
Li Tianqian's expression darkened, and he said, "Your Majesty, how should I check this underground bank?" Please make it clear. ”
Lin Fei realized that in this era, although financial institutions such as banks have been very developed in Europe and the United States, and there are many money banks and silver accounts in the Qing Kingdom, these things are still completely unfamiliar to most Chinese, and since they are unfamiliar with banks, they have no way to investigate underground banks.
Lin Fei thought for a moment and said, "There are no people among us who can investigate these things, so I'll go there myself." ”
Li Tianqian hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, you can't go in person, there are still many things you have to deal with......
Lin Fei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this matter won't take much time, let me ask you, which is the largest of Wang Ruihe's commercial firms?" What is the business? ”
Li Tianqian replied: "It is a shop called 'Zheng Ji Antique Shop', which is engaged in the business of jewelry, jade and antiques, and the rich Spanish people are very fond of those things, and often pay a lot of money to buy them, and the shopkeeper of this antique shop is a man named 'Zheng Yuming'. ”
Li Tianqian showed an angry look on his face as he spoke, Lin Fei didn't know why he suddenly showed such an expression, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Li Tianqian sighed and said, "I'm angry when I talk about this, that Zheng Yuming actually sold the good things of our ancestors to foreigners... According to our guide, there are many merchants in the Qing Kingdom who take the good things left by their ancestors to Nanyang and sell them to foreigners, and they are all by Zheng Yuming's hands..."
When it came to antiques, Lin Fei's heart couldn't help but ache, in the modern history of China, countless rare treasures of the Chinese nation were snatched away by foreigners, such as when the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, in Lin Fei's era, the Chinese people actually had to pay a high price to buy antiques and treasures from foreigners...
Lin Fei secretly thought in his heart, now our strength is not strong enough, and when our strength is strong, we will take back those treasures that were robbed by foreigners...
Lin Fei thought about the humiliation suffered by the Chinese nation in his time, and couldn't help but be a little distracted, Li Tianqian whispered: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Fei came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I remembered something, okay, I'll take you to check the underground money bank now, you go to the sniper team, and find a few fighters with the greatest strength." ”
Li Tianqian was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Lin Fei was looking for the most powerful warrior, but he didn't ask much, turned around and left, and when he came in with four warriors, he said to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, Captain Zhang Chuang said that they are the strongest warriors. ”
Lin Fei agreed "um", and then said: "Okay, I know, you immediately lead them to Santander Bank now, when you go, one person takes two large boxes, asks for that kind of large suitcase, and then goes to the bank vault, you can hold as much gold as you can, and come back to see me after loading." ”
Only then did Li Tianqian understand why Lin Fei was looking for a strong warrior, because the density of gold was very high, very heavy, and a box full of gold could not be carried by ordinary people.
Li Tianqian took four soldiers to the vault of the Bank of Santander, and after a while, one person returned with two large boxes, and Li Tianqian certainly did not carry them.
The boxes were obviously very heavy, and the four warriors were all panting as they carried them, and Lin Fei asked with a smile, "How much gold is there?" ”
Li Tianqian replied: "A box is twenty kilograms..."
Lin Fei smiled and said, "That's enough", then looked at the four sweaty warriors and asked, "Is it hard to carry?" ”
The fighters shook their heads and said, "No effort. ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Don't you sweat hard?" Open the chest and take out some of the gold. ”
As if they had been pardoned, the four warriors opened the chests and took out a few pieces of gold, which were reduced to fifteen kilograms in each box, making it much easier to carry.
Lin Fei said with a smile: "Change your clothes, come with me, and go to Zheng Ji Antique Shop..."
Li Tianqian was confused, and secretly thought, do these things we do have anything to do with the antique shop?
