Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 743

[Chapter 743 Finance]

“Well, that’s a good idea.” Wolfe looked northeast of Dasong and nodded slowly.

As a lieutenant in the navy, he has no right to dictate Britain’s diplomacy.

But in his heart, he believed that he should contact the Ross people to deal with the threat from Dasong together.

Because, the rise of King Yan will not only endanger their interests in the East.

Another very important point is that this is a non-Western land country.

A country of yellow monkeys whom they despised.

How can they tolerate such a country above them on paper.

It was almost as unbearable as the natives of the colony sitting with them and drinking coffee.

Therefore, before the decision of the British Parliament arrived.

He supports Japan to do so first, so as not to delay the opportunity.

“Okay, it’s settled.” Wolfe’s support cheered Watanabe’s heart.

Thinking that King Yan had won the Battle of Koryo, and that he might attack Dongying next, he thought of a way to divert trouble from the east, and said to Wolff: “King Yan is inevitably complacent with his victory this time, and he is afraid I am at a disadvantage to Dongying, and it will affect the cooperation between Dongying and you.”

Wolf nodded, and it was precisely because of this that he was worried that he decided to station the fleet in Edo.

The Watanabe case continued: “So, I think we should continue to provoke the war between the Dasong clan and the King of Yan.”

“Liang Kai is also a very shrewd person, I’m afraid he won’t agree, especially when we failed in Goryeo. ” , He lost so many warships.” Wolff frowned.

Between Wu Guo and Dongying, he relied more on Dongying.

Both being island countries, Japan and Britain have many similarities.

Compared with the Dasong clan, Dongying is less willing to see the rise of King Yan, so it is more trustworthy.

It is not impossible to sacrifice the interests of Wu to protect Dongying.

After all, even if it fully cooperates with Dongying, it will take a year and a half to transport steam engines and personnel to Dongying.

During this period of time, anything can happen, it is still necessary to let the Dasong clan make some noise to attract King Yan’s attention.

“Liang Kai is just a villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness. As long as the benefits are big enough for him, he will dare to do anything.” I have a lot of family contacts, and I know him very well.”

Pacing back and forth, Wolfe pondered for a while, then nodded: “So, I will give you the same conditions as Dongying to tempt him.”

“Yes, we really thought of a place .” Watanabe laughed.

In this Koryo war, they sacrificed the most in Dongying, and they deserved the support of the Britons and the people of Sam.

In a normal war, the state of Wu is simply dispensable, and it is unfair to have the support of Britain and the state of Sam at the same time.

They have to pay some price to be satisfied.

“I will send someone to Wu to discuss this matter.” Wolfe clenched his fist, “It’s just that these powerful clans alone may not be able to deal with King Yan’s army, so I should suggest them to spend some money and find some Mercenaries.” The

Eastern Land is currently the last area that the countries of the Western Land Continent are developing.

Therefore, there are a large number of mercenaries operating in the colonies in the Eastern and Southern Regions.

They were all outlaws, or veterans of the military.

After arriving in the east, they recruited natives to join their team.

They are willing to do anything as long as they are paid.

After agreeing on this matter, a British steamer sailed from Edo to Lincheng the next day.

The steamship did not hold back the galleon.

In this way, the maximum speed can be maintained, and even if it is discovered by the King Yan battleship, it can be far away from it.

Therefore, Wolfe did not worry about the safety of the steamship at all.

At the same time, there was also a steam ship carrying the Japanese envoys to Beidi.

…

Yancheng.

Dongpu and Britain made small moves frequently, but here it was a lively scene.

The four major banks opened on the same day.

In front of the door, red firecrackers were crackling, and the blue smoke and strong smell of gunpowder made people unable to open their eyes and coughed.

Even so, the common people and merchants who came to save money and want to lend money did not retreat an inch.

Even more daring urchins rushed over as soon as the firecrackers were blown up, picked up the misfired firecrackers, and burst into laughter.

“It’s so lively, Your Highness, I’m afraid that half of Yancheng’s people will come.” Liu Fu held a plate and stood on the right side of Zhao Xu, which contained broken silver, peanuts, and red dates.

“That’s right, who doesn’t want to win a lottery today.” Yang He stood on the right side of Zhao Xu.

During this period of time, his firm was officially promoted to the Department of Commerce, responsible for the development of the entire Dasong industry and commerce, naturally it could not do without the support of the four major banks.

Therefore, when the four major banks opened, he also came over.

“Hahaha…These four big banks are the beginning of my eulogy of finance. If there are many people who get the lottery, they will prosper.” Zhao Xu smiled and said auspicious words.

After that, he grabbed a handful from the plate in his hand and sprinkled it to the crowd.

“Oh…” Seeing Zhao Xu throwing a lottery, the people suddenly became excited, laughing and fighting for each other.

They don’t lack these things. After several years of development, the lives of Yanzhou people are getting more and more prosperous.

Come here today for fun.

Seeing this, Liu Fu and Yang He also threw out the lottery in their hands, and the front of the four major groups became more and more noisy.

The lottery was sprinkled, and when the people finished picking it up, Zhao Xu said loudly to the people who came: “Everyone, feel free to deposit your money in the four major banks, this king assures you that your money will never be less, it will only be more.” .”

After a pause, he continued: “As for those who want to build workshops, those who run merchants and have no money can borrow money boldly. The four big banks will never ask you for high profits, but if you make a fortune, you have to pay it back… ”

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

With Yan Wang’s personal guarantee, they seemed to have taken a reassurance.

Immediately, Zhao Xu moved out of the way and made a gesture of please.

The common people immediately poured into the four major banks, crowding the lobby of the four major banks to the brim.

Many people held silver in their hands and asked to deposit it in the bank.

“This bank collects the world’s wealth and uses it in important places. It really benefits the country and the people.” Seeing the lively scene in the bank lobby, Yang He not only sighed.

Zhao Xu nodded.

In this era, common people like to hide their excess silver at home, so that their wealth will not be revealed.

But in this way, less and less money is circulating on the market, turning into dead money.

Asking the people to deposit their silver in the bank is equivalent to the imperial court borrowing from the people, using the money to invest in industry and commerce, infrastructure, and then using the profits earned as interest on savings, and returning the principal with interest to the people.

At the same time, with the support of a large amount of silver, business and industry will become more active.

Moreover, although in the past few years, the palace has saved some money through commerce and taxes.

But the money used to invest in infrastructure and workshop construction is a drop in the bucket. In any case, it is better to gather the wealth of the world in the bank.
