Seventy-two, outside and inside (3)
Baojun was told by the Empress Dowager Cixi about his recent whereabouts, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and then immediately stood up and argued, "Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare to do such things, there are contacts with old subordinates in the past, but in the matter of national debts, slaves dare not disobey the orders of the imperial court, and they will dare to resist." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"I said this, naturally, it will not be without basis," the Queen Mother sneered, "I will never wronged anyone," she waved her hand, and the palace people who were waiting in the palace retreated, and Li Lianying stepped forward and presented a booklet to the Queen Mother, Cixi nodded her chin towards Baojun, "Please take a look." ”
Bao Jun took the booklet, only looked at it a few times, his face had already changed greatly, and he carefully read the entire booklet, he couldn't help but have an angry and ashamed expression in his heart, he didn't dare to get angry at the Empress Dowager Cixi, just glared at Li Lianying with his eyes, "It's a good errand for the Xuanli Department, and it's hard for you to find out one by one about these bullshit!" ”
Li Lianying's eyelids drooped gently, and she didn't speak, and the Empress Dowager Cixi sneered again, "What, you still want to go crazy here?" These are not bullshit, they are all Pei Gong You, the former Minister of Military Aircraft, how to give orders to instruct the southeast, snipe Hu Xueyan's ticket number, how to contact Jin Shang, and refuse the acquisition of national bonds, these things are not few, let me ask you why you are so busy, you are busy enough," the Empress Dowager Cixi patted the kang table, "but you are here to continue to be the secretary of the Taishang Household Department, right?" ”
It has been two or three days since the issuance of treasury bonds, public opinion is like a tide, and the big guys are very enthusiastic to buy them, but these ordinary people, in the end, are still a drop in the bucket, and they take out all their net worth, and it is not enough for the pocket money of businessmen and ticket numbers, and the **** in the newspaper is publicizing, saying that some bond sales are very smooth, but Yan Jingming knows, the Empress Dowager Cixi knows, and Baojun also knows that the sales of treasury bonds and Vietnam War bonds are very unsatisfactory.
The most fundamental reason for this is that the credit of the imperial court may not be much, and the big guy has a skeptical attitude. Regardless of whether the imperial court is squandering this silver, or using it to invest in construction, or making up military expenses, it doesn't matter, how to spend it is a matter of the imperial court, the most important thing is whether the imperial court will pay back the silver smoothly, when it expires, if the super imperial court turns its face, eats and wipes it all and does not admit it, these people's silver is floating, but it is not fun, the silver of the merchants' ticket number is not as good as the change in the hands of the people, and the silver in the hands of the people is lost, I can't get it back, I don't know how many people will be ruined, so there are a little doubts, plus Baojun is very active in running and contacting, the matter of this bond, no need to say anything, as long as a few words are understated, "not optimistic" is enough to make most of the people retreat.
Yan Jingming has been thinking hard about this matter, he has not slept well for several nights, and this bond cannot be sold, but he is afraid that there will be a problem with the Zijin raising on the front line, which is a very big blow to the war.
After Emperor Guangxu ascended the throne, the most unheard in the court was the word "Taishang", and no one dared to mention these words in the ears of the Queen Mother. This is also detrimental to the reputation of the imperial court. ”
"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this," the Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand, "It's not you in the world who will manage money, Su Shun in the past, and Yan Jingming today are all good at financial management, you know that others understand, what you don't understand, may not be understood by others." Don't use your selfishness to stir up this matter, you have been in the household department for so many years, don't you know that there is a word called 'Yin eats grain'? If you can't get it back, then continue to issue treasury bonds, and pay interest on the silver collected in the future! ”
"Then I'll ask you about Shanghai, Hu Xueyan, do you think it's just a blow to Zuo Zongtang?" Empress Dowager Cixi continued to peel pine nuts, "Once the price of silk is controlled by foreigners, the life and death of these hundreds of thousands of silkworm farmers in the future is not up to them, the export price of silk is reduced to whatever extent the foreigners want to be lowered, to what extent, China's exports are nothing more than silk silk and tea, these things, silk has fallen, and naturally nothing else can be pleased, you just let people cut off his silver root on the surface, but in fact, it is to cut off the pricing power of the Qing Dynasty's exports, if the price war of silk is lost to the French, They have the final say on everything that is exported, how can we play? This consequence was far worse than the result of the Qing Dynasty's defeat in the war with the French in Vietnam! Have you thought of this? ”
Dense sweat broke out on Bao Jun's forehead, "The slave is stupid." ”
"I don't think you're stupid, you're talking nonsense with your eyes open, so I rely on you to target Hu Xueyan's affairs, I will make you a foreign country, it's simple, and there is no problem." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "What, are you convinced?" ”
Bao Jun was still tough, "The slave has no selfish intentions, please Xisheng Mingcha." ”
"Discerning? Hehe, you raise your head," Bao Jun raised her head, Empress Dowager Cixi pointed to the silver big bowl on the kang table, which was full of pine nuts like the tip of the mountain, the pine nuts were full and shiny, Bao Jun looked at the sea bowl, the Empress Dowager Cixi took a pine nut out of the sea bowl and put it on the kang table of Huanghuali wood, she pointed to the pine nut, "This is your Bao Yun Bao Pei Yu," and pointed to the pile of pine nuts in the other big bowl, "This is me and the people you look down on outside, do you think," She scratched in the middle, "You can fight us?" ”
"You, no." The Empress Dowager Cixi said leisurely, she stretched out her hand and easily peeled off the pine nut and ate it, and threw the pine nut shell on the ground, "The general trend of the world, if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die." You've been on an errand for 20 years, and you should know that nothing I want to do can't be done, have you ever wondered why? She wasn't ready to let Bao Jun talk, she asked herself and answered, "Because I have never insisted on going my own way, what I want to do, there are many people who want to do it more than me, don't underestimate public opinion, public opinion is like water, moisturizing things silently, and it can also break everything that stands in front of you." ”
