Chapter 1037 Da Yuer's Invitation

"Miss Da Yuer, there is news from the Tokyo branch that the price of war bonds has been hyped up secretly by us, and the price has risen from 105 taels when we took over to 120 taels. The Tokyo branch sent a telegram from Edo Castle to ask whether Should we continue to hold the war bond, or should we sell it at this price?" People from the Ministry of Finance came to find Da Yuer.

The plan to hype up war bonds was proposed by Da Yuer.

"The war between the shogunate and the rebels has lasted for more than half of the winter, and the odds of winning the shogunate are rapidly decreasing. It is estimated that the dream of war bonds that can make a profit of 50% will soon be shattered. 120 taels has reached its peak. Let the Tokyo branch The purchased war bonds will be disposed of as soon as possible at the price of 120 taels." Da Yuer said indifferently.

"The Tokyo Branch bought about 102 taels of silver war bonds at a price ranging from 107 taels to 30 taels. If they were resold at a price of 120 taels, they could make a profit of about 4 taels of silver. This financial method is really powerful, no It is necessary to fight against each other, and as long as you buy and sell, you can get huge profits..." After the officials in charge of following up and speculating on war bonds in the Ministry of Accounts did the calculations, they couldn't help thinking that Da Yuer could use the war bonds raised by the shogunate to raise war funds Making a profit is simply equivalent to getting a huge income for nothing.

"It's not that simple. Using financial means requires a solid capital, and you also need to take the risk of failure. If you make a mistake in your calculations, you may lose your money. Without the principal, the private acquisition and the momentum of the Kyushu Daily, It is difficult for the price of war bonds to rise." Da Yuer said, "It is not our goal to obtain a profit of 4 taels of silver, but just to make a profit..."

"Then I will go to the telegraph office in the capital to issue instructions to the Tokyo branch, asking them to sell all the war bonds in hand as soon as possible when the price is high." The official of the household department said, flattering before leaving, "Miss Da Yuer If you make suggestions many times, maybe you will be able to enter the six conferences soon."

Only the most senior civil servants of the empire can participate in the six conferences.For example, the Monetary Policy and Fiscal Policy Committee where Dayuer works is only eligible to participate in the meeting of the six ministries.

"Six Ministry Conference...I'm still too young." Da Yu'er knew that the civil service group attached great importance to seniority. No matter what, it was impossible for her to become a senior civil service officer of the empire in her early twenties. Climbing to her current position was already her limit.

"The future will be long, at least Miss, your future is limitless." The officials of the household department are still very optimistic about Da Yuer, after all, she is regarded as a representative of female officials in the civil service group, and Chu Yun wants to find someone to set an example, so Unless Da Yuer had an accident on his own, there was no possibility that someone would self-destruct the flaunt.

Da Yuer didn't care much about Dongpu's affairs. Even if she didn't get involved in this matter, the Kyushu Army could still solve Dongpu's civil war.She instructed the Tokyo branch to hype up war bonds just to hasten the collapse of the shogunate.

"Da Yuer, why did you come to our Imperial College?" Sophia found Da Yuer who was looking for her.

"I would like to invite Your Highness Princess to come to my house for dinner during the Spring Festival." Da Yuer said.

"Spring Festival! I heard from my Chinese lecturer that it is the grandest and most important festival in the eastern countries!" Princess Sophia studied in the Overseas Department of the Imperial University for several months. To communicate with the people around me, I had to learn Chinese and learned a lot about Chinese culture.

"Yes, my brother is away on an expedition, and he may not be able to come back during this time... I am alone in the capital, and you, the princess, are also alone in the capital. I was thinking that I might as well ask you to cook together." Dayu son said.

"That would be the best! Selina has a child, and she will come to our Jingshi University in the first three months, but it will be inconvenient to come after three months, and she will take a few months of school leave... I will now I am here alone, fortunately I met Hezi, otherwise I would be really lonely." Princess Sophia said.

"It's an honor for Kazuko to get to know Her Royal Highness Princess of Britain." Said Kazuko, an international student sent by the shogunate.

She was entrusted by a lecturer from the Overseas Department to take care of Princess Sofia and Selina, and they became familiar with each other naturally.

"Hezi, how about you coming to my house together?" Da Yuer extended an invitation to Hezi.

"Can I go too?" Hezi was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Da Yuer would invite her, who had a background in the shogunate, to go with her.

"Aren't you different from other international students in the shogunate? I think you may not have a place to go during the holidays. Why don't you cook with us. You should know the cuisine of Dongying, and I will know some on the Mongolian grassland. The cooking of wild game, and Liu Rushi's knowledge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, I think it should be very interesting. Of course, if you have other arrangements, just pretend I didn't mention it." Da Yuer stared at Hezi, knowing that she would definitely not refuse.

"Of course I am willing..." Hezi couldn't help being flattered to see Da Yuer let her join the circle.

"The shogunate began to recruit a group of foreign students to return to Japan to participate in the civil war. Kazuko, you should stay in our capital for a little longer and go back after the civil war in Japan is over." Da Yuer said.

"I'm not good at learning, the shogunate won't call me back so soon..." Hezi said calmly.

"A civil war broke out in your country?" Princess Sophia was not familiar with things in Japan, but she was no stranger to wars, and wars were fought every year in Europe.

"I don't know if it is my country. My father was a Han Chinese. He was wandering in the sea at that time, and my mother was a Japanese woman who was taken away by my father." Hezi said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter. Why don't we talk about the division of labor for the New Year's Eve dinner? I wonder if Princess Sofia can cook European dishes? I haven't eaten the dishes there yet." Dayuer said heartily Thinking about the establishment of the Dongying Province in the future, Hezi doesn't have to worry about the issue of nationality at all. At that time, the Dongying Congress will be downgraded to a province.

"Although we in Britain have some unique dishes, I don't know it." Princess Sophia said naturally.

As Her Royal Highness, there is no need to cook dishes by yourself.

"That's a pity. I wanted to taste the craftsmanship of Her Royal Highness." Da Yu'er regretted.

"Several servants left by Lord Greenville, some of them know British cuisine, and I can order them to cook for us." Princess Sophia said.

"Your Highness, food that is not cooked by yourself has no soul..." Hezi said.
