Extra Story 5: The Final Chapter
At the end of the tenth year of the Legal Reign, a heavy goose-feather snow suddenly fell in the capital in the evening, and snowflakes fell straight in the air, and they also flew or circled by the wind. The temperature was obviously colder than in previous years.
Lingshi Hutong, Lin Mansion Dining Room.
The Lin family is a system of monogamous and nine concubines. Since they have already been born and raised, Lin Wenhu and Lin Wenlei have added male members, which has led to the current Lin family being prosperous.
The housekeeper led a group of maids to serve hot dishes, and the men and women at several tables sat in a regular manner, which seemed very lively.
Lin Weiran is over 50 years old. Although he still has a fair and handsome face, his eyes have already been stained with crow's feet, which is ultimately beyond the erosion of time.
While picking up the bowls and chopsticks to eat, he looked at the wind and snow falling from the courtyard below, and suddenly sighed sadly, then put down the bowls and chopsticks and stood up and left without any scent.
The families in the living room looked at Lin Weiran like this and couldn't help but look at each other. Princess Maria, who was holding her newborn son, was still full of confusion.
"Today, the master has no appetite, everyone will continue to eat!" Wu Qiuyu also stopped the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, took out the majesty of the mistress of the family and said.
When the families heard the mistress Wu Qiuyu's words, they continued to silence the rice.
The sky became darker and darker, and goose feather-like snowflakes floated down, quietly rendering the entire courtyard into a vast white area. The old peach trees that were usually planted in the forest back then could not be lucky.
Lin Weiran stood under the eaves, looking at the white snow in the courtyard, and looking up at the dark sky, a kind of vicissitudes of life that had experienced all things surged up on his face.
Wu Qiuyu came to Lin Qingran's side and asked with concern: "Mr., are you worried that this heavy snow will affect the people's harvest?"
"Why should China worry about food now? I am worried about the greed of this person!" Lin Weiran shook his head gently, but said bitterly.
Hua Yingrong and Ali both followed, Hua Yingrong seemed helpless and said: "Xiaomi and Damai from four exchanges in Songjiang, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Guangzhou were jointly promoted by those people. Now with this snow disaster, I am afraid
There are countless people involved in it that are going bankrupt!"
"The abyss has its bottom, but only someone is invincible! These people have been planning for so long, and now they have encountered such a disaster, they must have reaped a lot!" Lin Qingran sighed leisurely, and said helplessly.
Hua Yingrong knew that this matter was far more difficult than the surface. If they took action rashly, it would treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it would even encourage some people's enthusiasm for speculation.
"My husband, I don't understand! My husband is in the position of the prime minister and holds military power. What problems cannot be solved?" Ali said seriously without changing her heroic spirit back then.
Lin Weiran looked at Ali deeply and finally stopped talking.
The winter of the ten-year legal system seemed particularly cold. Due to the double killing of the stock market and futures market, many originally wealthy families went bankrupt overnight.
The well-off society that Lin Qingran spent decades to build was damaged by most of the sudden financial crisis, and many families even suffered heavy debts.
The superficial cause of this financial crisis is that Lin Yeran's ten-year term expires and the arrival of the Little Ice Age, but the biggest root cause is that the country's economy is facing a severe recession.
China's maritime trade prosperity for so many years is essentially a "punishment" on the consumer markets of other countries. The purchasing power of countries is declining, resulting in a decline in maritime trade volume year by year.
On the other hand, the dividend period for tens of millions of farmers to flock to towns has disappeared, causing traditional handicrafts such as textile industry to stagnate.
This business dilemma is overshadowed by the booming stock market over the years. With the sudden arrival of this financial crisis, many workshop owners went bankrupt, resulting in a large number of workers being unemployed.
The lethality of the financial crisis is not just the crazy speculators involved. As China's consumer market further shrinks, more Chinese commodities are unsalable and "milk dumping incidents" have frequently occurred.
The most serious are those private lending money houses growing wildly. These money houses have strong official backgrounds and lend money to students, speculators, businessmen on the verge of bankruptcy and young people who are greedy for pleasure.
The industrial revolution that Lin Weiran has always advocated did not appear. Instead, the lending industry is like mushrooms after a rain, and is crazily eroding the achievements of China's maritime trade for decades.
On the sixth day of the 12th month of the 10th year of the Legal Affairs, this is not only a grand ceremony to celebrate the Queen's birthday, but also an important day to appoint the new Chief Minister of the Legal Affairs.
A rising sun rose from the east, and the entire Forbidden City became clear. There are more than 70 palaces and more than 9,000 houses, covering an area of 720,000 square meters.
All civil and military officials wore modern professional attire marked by various yamen. They walked into the Forbidden City from the Meridian Gate and stood opposite each other at the platform in front of Huangji Gate.
Lin, wearing a long brocade dress and queen clothes, walked out of Huangji Gate and came to this highest platform.
Her skin is as snow as her eyes are still clear and bright. Although she is no longer the wild girl she used to be, she has never forgotten her original intention. She has been committed to upholding justice and promoting the construction of a feminist society over the years.
"I am so happy to see the Queen, wishing the Queen as good as the East Sea and as long as the South Mountain!"
When civil and military officials saw Lin Pingchang appear, they pressed their hands on their chests and expressed their wishes to the queen who has certain real power and strong reputation.
Lin usually doesn't care about red tape, but he doesn't look at the two candidates for the chief minister. He immediately declared: "This queen announced that the new chief minister of the French Republic will be re-elected by former chief minister Lin Shiran!"
When civil and military officials heard this appointment, some were happy and some were worried. Some people, especially some officials who knew that Lin Shiran had objections to usury and applauded reluctantly.
"Brother, let's retire after working for another ten years!" Lin Pingchang handed over the chief minister's seal to Lin Weiran and said seriously.
Lin Qingran smiled bitterly, looked at the Songjiang Prefecture and Shanxi officials who were dodging their gaze below, but sighed: "I hope I can really retire at that time!"
On the first day of the first lunar month of the 11th year of the Legal Affairs Commission, the new chief minister Lin Yeran promulgated the "Personal Bankruptcy Law", giving the citizens legal protection to get rid of past debts and start a new life again.
Faced with the omnipresent ugly capital, although he could not break the sacred and inviolable iron rules of private property, his philosophy of governing the country was always to protect the people rather than the so-called private property.
As for the essence of this economic crisis, there have been measures to deal with it. Since the French currency has become the world currency, we only need to turn on the printing machine in a crazy way.
