Chapter 591 The aftermath of currency restructuring
Li Hongzhang was responsible for the overall planning of the war and had no actual combat experience in naval battles. He planned and deployed Taiwan's defense and listened to Shen Baozhen alone. Shen Baozhen had the right to speak about naval battles. When it came to having breakfast, others could only mention it.
Li Hongzhang submitted the plan for the defense of Taiwan to Emperor Tongzhi. Shen Baozhen wrote a detailed strategy, and then Li Hongzhang approved it and submitted it to Emperor Tongzhi. Finally, the Military Aircraft Department issued an order, and the Ministry of War could implement it.
Li Guolou drank a large bowl of porridge in one breath, wiped his mouth with a wet towel, and said: "Master Fu Xiang, this plan cannot be just one tone, putting the initiative in your own hands, the enemy is more cunning than us.
This official article is placed on the military, it will harm others and ourselves. We must also write the worst ending. Every possibility must be clearly stated on how we deal with it, so that we will not be tied up. It is urgent that we think of emergency treatment.
, which is not advisable in response.”
Li Hongzhang glanced at him and said: "I'm not going to feel comfortable showing this thing to the emperor. I have my own strategies to deal with various complex situations, but I must not let the emperor know about it first, otherwise my cleverness will not be shown.
If you don’t understand politics, don’t make nonsense. Write it concisely and capture the essence.”
"Of course!" Ding Richang twirled his beard and nodded in approval.
"Oh...I don't understand." Li Guolou was shy. He was an unusual person among the courtiers. He could write tens of thousands of words and submit a running account to Emperor Tongzhi. As for whether Emperor Tongzhi would be bored by it, I don't know.
In his consideration, Li Guolou just wanted Emperor Tongzhi to know more about the sufferings of the people and express his feelings in his own way. Thinking about it now is too inappropriate and a waste of everyone's time.[
"You know how to spend money to win people's hearts." Ding Richang drank milk and burped, not forgetting to scold Li Guolou.
Li Guolou rolled his eyes and refuted: "Ding Xiaogui, the people who said this were lined up from Chang'an Street to Hainan Island and went to sea. But I am the only one in the world who can create tens of millions of taels of wealth for the Qing Dynasty. Solve the problem
The livelihood of tens of millions of people will change the exploitation of our country by foreign banks. Anyone who slanders me is like sour milk and a few stinking bubbles."
"Ouch!" Ding Richang choked and couldn't catch his breath. He wanted to fight back but was speechless for a moment, and the milk sprayed on his official robe.
The others smiled, eating breakfast and listening to jokes. As long as Li Guolou and Ding Richang were together, they would watch them play the octagonal drum and throw the dignity of officialdom into the garbage.
Ding Richang took a cup of tea from the servant's hand, rinsed his mouth, regained his composure, stood up from the ground, and shouted angrily: "Fake foreign devils, that's not the full support of our Westernization faction. You are too thick-skinned.
If you take all the credit, why don't you let us live?"
Now Li Guolou did not dare to reply. He might have started a quarrel with all the Westernizers.
Mr. Li, this is more promising than grabbing a job for one term. Mr. Fu Xiang wants to reform the system
, since the national treasury is full, how can we let people make a lot of money? Once the monetary policy is changed, we will all live a hard life. How can Mr. Fu let the grain road and salt road survive alone?
Where have they gone? From now on, all the good jobs will be in Mr. Li's hands, so that private enterprises can become bigger and stronger!"
Li Guolou angrily scolded: "Master Xue, what are you talking about? How can I afford such an outstanding talent?"
Ding Richang waved his hand and drove away the servants and maids in the dining room, and said: "Master Xue, you can tell me that there are no outsiders here, we are all friends on the same line."
"Hey!" Li Hongzhang always felt a little disappointed when he thought that the private enterprises he controlled were defeated by Li Guolou. National policy supports companies controlled by Li Guolou. This is a favor given to Li Guolou by the imperial power. He only
He could go with the trend and could not violate the edicts of the two empress dowagers. His insatiable greed made Li Hongzhang feel that the 10% shares his two sons held in the bank were too small, and it was too late to regret it now. However,
that
"Well! Xiaolou, let's talk to your wives during lunch. Now we'd better solve the matter of Grandson Ding as soon as possible. You want a thousand gold to buy the bones. Grandson Ding is the bone of the thousand-mile horse. Whether the currency reform is successful or not depends on Ding.
On your grandson's head, otherwise you will be against the officials of the world, and a brick will fly from behind your head and hit you to death." Xue Fucheng's face was solemn, and he threatened Li Guolou with words.
"I have the support of Mr. Fu Xiang behind me." Li Guolou found a strong reason. No matter how big the reason was, he didn't bother to say it. It would scare people to death.
"That's not enough! Xiaolou, look at when Mr. Fu forced his subordinates to sell their sons and daughters. When you carried out currency reform, didn't you mean that the officials in the world didn't even have the money to marry their wives? Now, who of the officials in the world can rely on maintaining integrity?
People who live by money, how many families are you going to destroy if you create a silver dollar system?" Xue Fucheng made eighteen lies, and just telling one of them at random would make people laugh out loud.
"This is unreasonable! Mr. Xue, I want to tell you that this is an established national policy, and anyone who opposes it will take off his hat." Li Guolou fought back and used the most powerful weapons to overturn Xue Fucheng's fallacy.
"Hey Xiaolou, you are still too young. Qing and Ku are twin brothers. You have used the imperial power to force officials all over the world to live a hard life, and the Qing Dynasty has become a world of poverty. I can assure you with my chest that as long as your
Once the monetary policy is introduced, no official will object, but the national tax
On the contrary, the income will be greatly reduced. You have blocked the source of motivation for officials. From the lowest-level clerk to the princes and ministers, they will scold you. The Westernization Movement will also be affected. Do foreigners understand?" Xue Fu grew up with a big mouth,
Spit everywhere, tell a more terrifying scene, and the myth will become the truth.
"Oh, what you said makes sense." Li Guolou looked up at the yard. The green pines were swaying in the wind, and dead leaves were scattered on the ground. The rotten leaves were blown down by the wind, but this ancient pines were
It has already taken root deep underground and no one can uproot it.
"My greatest advantage is that I am an honest person and tell the truth. Mr. Fu Xiang understands me best!" Xue Fucheng winked at Li Hongzhang furtively, with an expression that said he had a chance to win. He could win a verbal battle with him.
People are still waiting to be reincarnated in the Temple of the King of Hell.
Li Guolou was dejected and was struck by Xue Fucheng's words. The silver dollar system benefited the country. The biggest benefit was to change the situation of the outflow of silver in the Qing Dynasty, allowing people to come into the bank and make big money. However, it directly harmed the interests of local officials.
The Huohuo system no longer exists. Even if the country's integrity system remains unchanged, it has emptied the pockets of government officials. He is going against officials all over the world, and even petty officials will go against him.
It seems that he succeeded in the monetary reform of the Qing Dynasty, but it laid the foundation for disaster. In the future, he will have to pay a heavy price for his own selfishness. Those who oppose the majority of government officials are the public enemies of the country. The lice on Li Guolou's official robe
, grab a large handful, and wait until next year to make a list, you will definitely be suspicious.
