sultan's crescent

Chapter 22
"The main force of the Janikli family will go to Egypt in the near future and take them down. I will give Amasia to the Chapan family as a reward for you."

"But, Your Majesty, this needs an excuse, otherwise..."

Suleiman was already very moved, but he was still vigilant. Who knew if the Sultan would use them to overthrow the Janikli family, and then send someone to clean them up in the name of counter-insurgency.

Suleiman is not a fool. The sultan looks good, but in fact he is so bad.

The fact that Ali Pasha led troops to give away the head was invisible to others, but it didn't mean that Suleiman couldn't.

"Patriarch Suleiman, you will get a suitable excuse, whether it is the defeat of the Janikli family in the Caucasus, although the Caucasus is not important, or the collusion of the Janikli family with the Mamluks, resulting in a failure to counter the rebellion, believe me , I'll give you a suitable excuse."

Suleiman didn't ask any more questions. The Sultan's conditions were already generous enough. If he didn't seize the opportunity, could he hand it over to the Kara Osman family.

He bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Chapan family will successfully complete your mission."

"That's good, Suleiman. At that time, I will send someone to count the property of the Janikli family. You'd better make sure that the Chapan family only takes what belongs to you."

"I understand what you mean, Your Majesty, the Chapan family will always be your most loyal servants." Suleiman slowly exited the room while speaking.

He had to go back and prepare to attack the Janikeli family. It was true that the private soldiers had been transferred, but the guards of the Janikeli family were not a small number.

After arranging this group of powerful families, Selim decided to go to Abraham. As for why he didn't call him into the palace, it was naturally to make a surprise check whether Abraham had any thoughts or things that he shouldn't have done.After all, as a nation of Jews, we still need to be more careful.

Selim, who walked all the way, came to the headquarters of the Royal Bank of the Ottoman Empire. There were people coming and going at the entrance of the bank, French, Venetians, British, Spaniards, Greeks, and Armenians.

But this is also normal. After all, it is the headquarters of the Royal Bank of the Ottoman Empire. If there is no such flow of people, it shows that the Ottoman Empire is really poor.

In this case, instead of working hard, it is better to make a mess, such as building a Dokhma Bache Palace.

Shaking his head and clearing his mind of unrealistic thoughts, Selim continued to walk towards the inside of the bank. Once he entered the bank, he was immediately spotted by a young Jewish man.

The other party rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, please follow me. My father is working in the vice president's office."

"You know me? I remember that your father only brought his eldest son David to see me once. Are you?"

"Your Majesty, I am Jacob, the second son of my father. As for my elder brother, he is in charge of opening the branch of the Imperial Bank of Rumelia."

Jacob replied respectfully, but Selim clearly noticed the jealousy in his eyes when he mentioned his brother.

"Interesting, as expected of the Jews. Although later generations often praise the Rothschild brothers to work together to build the Rothschild family into the sixth most powerful in Europe, overthrowing the Bahrain family in one fell swoop.

But the leaders of the Rothschild family are mainly the third child Nathan and the fifth child James, and the rest, let's run with them. "

While thinking about how to use Jacob's ambition to harvest these Jews in the future, Selim listened to Jacob's introduction to the Imperial Bank.

"Your Majesty, the entire Royal Bank of the Ottoman Empire has a total of four floors. In fact, it is a standard arrangement of wealth levels. The first to third floors receive customers with different levels of financial resources. As for the fourth floor, it is the bank's office area.

The overall design structure refers to the Bank of England established in 1694. The concept adopts Baroque architectural art, and the interior is according to your arrangement, diluting the religious elements and replacing them with classicism, using the monograms of successive sultans as decorations .

Today, the bank is in charge of four major business segments, namely bill discounting, bank loans, currency exchange, and treasury bond sales. "While Jacob on the side was introducing, the two had already arrived at the door of Abraham's office.

The two pushed the door and entered, only to see that Abraham had been buried in the pile of books, surrounded by coins of the Ottoman Empire from different periods.

There are the earliest Bursa silver coins made in the Orhan era, the later Akche silver coins, the Ducat gold coins used in the Suleiman era, and the gold coins selected by the King of France when the Ottoman Empire encountered a silver coin crisis. Silver coins minted by Louis XIV, and current currency.

Seeing Selim coming in, Abraham immediately raised his head from the pile of books.

"Great Sultan, Protector of the Two Holy Lands, Caliph of the Islamic world, what instructions do you wish to convey today?"

"No need to be polite, Abraham, are you studying the currency of the empire?"

Although Selim has learned about the Ottoman Empire's currency issuance, he still wants to hear the opinions of the Jews in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you are right. I am indeed researching the currency of the empire. In my opinion, there are quite big problems. Please let me explain to you."

Raising his glasses, Abraham said seriously.

"Look at these two silver coins, Your Majesty, they were issued in 1760 and 1780 respectively, but the silver content of the latter is only 80.00% of the silver of the former, and the imperial government stipulates that the two coins have the same value. In a disguised form, the hardworking Ottoman people were deprived of their wealth.

Looking at this Louis XIV silver coin again, don't you think it is a shame that the majestic Ottoman Empire uses French currency.

In fact, there are far more foreign currencies in the empire than Louis XIV silver coins. Countless foreign currencies and our country's Akche silver coins constitute the currency in circulation in the market, but the imperial government has never stipulated their This is undoubtedly not conducive to the development of the empire.

To be honest, before your Majesty made this proposal, I never thought that a bank would have such a large profit, although we used to have our own financial business.

But Your Majesty, I don't think the Royal Bank of the Ottoman Empire can rectify the poor financial system of the empire if it only does four major businesses. "

Having said that, Abraham shut up.But Selim had already guessed what the other party meant, didn't he just want the currency issuance rights of the Ottoman Empire!
It is strange that the old man Abraham has sympathy for the industrious Ottoman people mentioned earlier.

In fact, Abraham's request cannot be said to be ambitious. After all, Selim's position for the Royal Bank of the Ottoman Empire is the central bank.

However, out of guard against the Jews, Selim did not directly grant the right to issue currency, but waited for the other party to find him.

Well now, the fish is hooked.
