The moment the figure of 20 million was said, the crowd exploded. Not everyone understood the gist of this war; most of the scholars only read a few military manuals and thought that they could expand their land.

The famous Xue Shuang, the founder of the Xiang Army's Water Master. Her position in the Xiang Army was only inferior to Ceng Guofan's and Hu Linyi's. Even Ceng Guoquan and Zuo Zongtang did not dare to take him on too high a pedestal in front of him.

Upon hearing Peng Yulin's words, Ci Xi's face became even paler. She nodded and said, "Good, good, good … They were all loyal officials of the Qing Dynasty! He allowed His Majesty to be humiliated without money? Yet you all are unmoved by the assassination of your majesty? "

After a long conversation, the topic finally shifted to Old Lin. Today, this Minister of Revenue was like a louse with no itch. He had already made up his mind to return to his hometown next year. He really couldn't afford to be an official.

"Majesty, after all, His Majesty was not in any danger. Furthermore, the Japanese side has promised to turn in the culprit and dig out the mastermind behind this … Even our best students have killed the Japanese envoy, but you can still be considered to have vented your anger on us! "

"Not to mention that Japan even took out the Silver Hill and the Zowu Gold Mine as compensation and gave it to His Majesty. This is already giving face to the imperial government …" Don't forget the four million silver taels that the Letian Firm sent over. His Majesty used his shares in the gold and silver mine to mortgage it out of the Letian Bank! "

This was why Xiao Letian's writing was so intelligent, because he knew that there were very few people in the Manchu dynasty, who could understand economy. If you were to tell them that you were going to use the shares of Fu Sang Bank as compensation, the imperial government would not be able to sense how powerful you are.

However, changing the topic, it could be said that Japan used a silver mountain and a gold mine to compensate the Great Qing Dynasty. This was too honorable, the Imperial Court was no different from the idler in the capital, living and repaying this honor.

Then, the men would gather together in the teahouse restaurant. When the topic of Tongzhi coming out to visit Japan, he would immediately turn around and find a silver mountain and a gold mountain. This topic was much more interesting and had more face.

Even when his Majesty was assassinated, the storyteller would make it seem like the protector of mountains and mountains was going to fight against pirates. The Chun Sanshiniang was still trying to find a good storyteller to make up this story.
