C3502 He who loves to be a slave

Yang Zhi was currently the Assistant Minister of Revenue, and was in charge of forging the most oily silver and printing of North Ticket s in Great Qing.

The amount of silver collected each year, the amount of silver forged, and the number of North Ticket notes produced according to the market's financial scale were things the imperial government would have to consult with Yang Zhi.

To be able to give such an important position to a Chinese minister, that was something that he could not do anything about. The entire Great Qing knew that there were very few people in the new financial system, and it would be impossible to find anyone without Yang Zhi.

Of course, this was not the most important reason, what was most important was that Yang Zhi was very cunning. Although he was a traitor of the Chinese race, he had a very close relationship with the United Kingdom.

Due to his previous business dealings with the Chinese, he even established a close relationship with the merchants in Jiangnan.

This gave Yang Zhi one more business, and that was financial investment!

In the past few years, Xiao Letian had made the imperial court smarter. They were forced to come out from the Middle Age system and try a new way to earn money.

There was no other way. The imperial government was very poor. They could only count on the little money they had in the past to collect and pay taxes to survive. Then, the imperial government would go bankrupt!

Take a look at the Chinese people. Issuing bonds, making stocks, selling silver on the international market, hoarding all kinds of non-ferrous metals, and even buying and selling food.

The game of money making money made a lot of money!

Who wouldn't be jealous? Of course, the most envious ones were the Chinese who could win the war and extort war reparations and new colonies!

However, the Manchu dynasty did not dare to be jealous anymore. They had completely given up on this kind of wealth!

If the imperial government wanted to rely on money to make money, then they would have to rely even more on Yang Zhi. Even with his connections, they still needed to use him.

A small part of the money was made in the European market, while a large part was made in Jiangnan, buying Chinese bonds, including hoarding raw silk, tea leaves, porcelain and other goods. And make a profit.

But are all this money from the court? had two accounts with him, one of them was made public to the Ministry of Revenue, the other only recorded the seven million silver capital that the Ministry of Revenue had taken out.

All that was left were the private money of the powerful nobles!

Would the devil let go of the opportunity to make money? Obviously not, Xishan New Army was just a bottomless pit that swallowed gold, the amount of silver General Gui Zi Liu had poured in was not less than 2 million. Even if he was the King, he would not be able to afford it!

"So you're saying... The matter of Jiangnan smashing the bottom of the plate... Is there no hope? "

Within the warm pavilion in the Head Office, a thin and frail body of a six man sat on a chair, a cup in his hand rippled with the tea leaves, and he spoke to Yang Zhi who was kneeling on the ground in a weird tone.

Yang Zhi entered the city in the morning, but didn't go directly to the Forbidden City. Instead, he ran over to the Head Office to hit his card.

With a bang, his head hit the ground and his forehead turned green. The long braid on his back fell to the ground!

"To reply Your Highness, this servant is useless. I never thought that Sakamoto Ryoma would bring troops to threaten Jiang Nan merchants! Jiang Nan and the rest were all scared silly, no one dares to move! "

"Hehe …" Don't! You, Yang Zhi, are the big celebrity in front of the empress dowager. You are an official in charge of the wealth of geniuses, how can you call yourself a servant? "

"That servant was a disciple of the Inside Eight Flags and only the coating could call him that. Is it even appropriate for you to call him that …"

When Yang Zhi saw the sneaky grin on General Gui Zi Liu's face, he knew that he had passed the test today. "Your words really made this servant's heart go cold …"

"What else do I have?" Even if one of them were to be killed, there would still be people who would kill it … Didn't those bastards chase us again this morning … "

"Wuwuwu …" Without the protection of the imperial court, I would have immediately become a darned cat! Now that you say these words, is it because you don't want your servant anymore? "

"This servant no longer has any path in the sky or on the ground. I only have the Great Qing left …"

"Bullshit!" With a "hua la" sound, a cup of hot tea was poured all over Yang Zhi's face.

"How can you not have connections? You, Yang Zhi, secretly took the British's money as if I didn't know? Without Great Qing, go find the foreign devil master! "

"The British large nose wants a coating slave like you. Go to London and lick your butt!"

The flustered General Gui Six stood up and kicked Yang Zhi on the shoulder, causing him to stagger a little. Then, he angrily turned around in the room, pointed at Yang Zhi's nose and cursed at him.

"Dog slave, is it easy for me to raise 4 million silver?" That was the money to buy bullets for the new army... If you say it's useful, I'll take it apart and give it to you! "

"I thought you would earn a lot of money, but you ended up farting!"

"Now tell me, is it too late? Do you think this lord is a fool to fool around with? "

Yang Zhi kowtowed as if he was smashing garlic. "Prince, please calm your anger, please calm your anger …" This servant will definitely think of a way to earn money for Prince. How about we open two more silver furnaces in the Western Mountain? "

"Fuck you..." He even opened a silver furnace, how many silver ores was there in the Great Qing? How much silver was left? Damn it, all of the silver trade in the Pacific Ocean has been monopolized by his f * cking Xiao Letian, what are you talking about! "

"If you don't have any silver, I will burn you in it!" "How many taels of silver can you make out of this smelly meat?"

The more Gui Zi Liu scolded, the more relieved Yang Zhi was, because he knew that if he did not scold him, that would be when his life was at stake. He was willing to scold you, showing that the Duke did not want to kill him!

"Yes, yes, yes …" The prince is right... Your servant is useless … But don't worry, your highness, we will think it through for a long time. In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to earn money! "

"Construction of railways, construction of iron mills... It's a business that does not lose anything for ten thousand years, this servant will help you run away! "

In fact, General Gui Six only wanted to vent the anger in his heart for the recent few moments. Since Zai Chun had been getting closer and closer to returning, the nameless anger in his heart had grown stronger and stronger!

Furthermore, with Ceng Guofan causing such a ruckus in the East Warm Pavilion, General Gui Six was practically exploding with rage.

If he had enough anger, he wouldn't really be able to do anything to Yang Zhi. He let out a long sigh and had to help Yang Zhi up, "Don't blame me for … "The imperial government is really having a hard time. I've been in too much of a rage these past two days …"

"Another assassination this morning? Are you all right? "

When Yang Zhi saw that the Prince had begun to pacify him, he quickly gave in. Your highness is truly too kind to this servant. Thank you for your concern, your highness! "

"One substitute has died, four sedan bearers have been wounded, several guards have been wounded …" "Don't worry about it!"

Yang Zhi simply described the process of the assassination before blinking his eyes and muttered, "This servant, I, in the end, placed all the blame on the Ten Thousand Life Mountain Green Camp …"

"With this assassination attempt, the soldiers of the Xishan Camp will naturally be able to move into the Kunming Lake … Even minister of nine city gates would have to admit it! "

The six evil spirits laughed, and patted Yang Zhi's shoulders, "Haha … "You're being considerate, you're being considerate!"
