Chapter 591 The Troubles of Currency Reform

Li Hongzhang was responsible for the overall planning of the war and had no actual combat experience in naval warfare.When planning and deploying Taiwan's defense, I heard from Shen Baozhen alone.Shen Baozhen has the right to speak about the naval battle, and when it comes to eating breakfast, others can only ask questions.Li Hongzhang submitted to Emperor Tongzhi the plan for Taiwan's defense. 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 finished a big bowl of porridge in one gulp, wiped his mouth with a wet towel, and said, "Master Fu Xiang, this plan cannot be one-sided and put the initiative in our own hands, the enemy is more cunning than us. Putting this official article on the military, it harms others and ourselves. It is also necessary to write the worst ending, every possibility, and how we should deal with it must be clearly written, so that we will not be at a loss. Only when the fire is imminent, do we think of emergency , which is not advisable to deal with.”

Li Hongzhang glanced at him and said: "Showing this kind of thing to the emperor, I don't feel happy about it myself. I have my own strategies to deal with various complicated situations, but I must not let the emperor know first, otherwise my brilliance will not be shown If you don’t understand politics, don’t make nonsense, and the excerpts should be written concisely and grasp the essence.”

"Of course!" Ding Richang twisted his beard and nodded in approval.

"Oh... I don't understand." Li Guolou was ashamed. He was a different kind of courtier. He could write tens of thousands of words in an eloquent manner and report the journal to Emperor Tongzhi.As for whether Emperor Tongzhi would get bored watching it, it was no longer in his consideration.Li Guolou just wanted to let Emperor Tongzhi know more about the sufferings of the people and express his feelings in his own way.Now that I think about it, it should not be a waste of everyone's time. [

"You know how to spend money and buy people's hearts." Ding Richang drank milk, hiccupped, and did not forget to reprimand Li Guolou.

Li Guolou rolled his eyes and retorted: "Ding Xiaogui, the people who said this lined up from Chang'an Street to Hainan Island, and the sea is gone. But I am the only one in the world who can create tens of millions of taels of wealth for the Qing Dynasty. The livelihood of tens of millions of people will change the exploitation of our country by foreign banks. Whoever slanders me is sour milk with a few stinky bubbles."

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Ding Richang choked, did not catch a breath, wanted to fight back but was speechless for a while, milk was sprayed on the official robe.

The others smiled and ate their breakfast and listened to the jokes.As long as Li Guolou and Ding Richang are together, watch them play the octagonal drum and throw their official dignity into the trash.

Ding Richang took a cup of tea from the servant, rinsed his mouth, recovered his strength, stood up, and shouted angrily: "Fake foreign devils, that's not because of the full support of our Westernization faction. You are too thick-skinned. Take the credit for yourself, and let us live."

Now Li Guolou didn't dare to speak back, so he might be in a verbal war with all the Westernization factions.Xue Fucheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Ding, sit down and talk. Have you forgotten what I said? Your son's life's wealth and splendor will depend on Mr. Li, which is more promising than earning a job for one term. Mr. Fu Your Excellency wants to reform the system and fill the national treasury. How can people make a lot of money? If the monetary policy is changed, we will all have a hard life. How can Mr. Fu let the food road and the salt road be alone, and we have to live a hard life together. The fat and the shortage will not go anywhere. In the future, the fat and shortage will be in the hands of Mr. Li, so that private enterprises can grow bigger and stronger!"

Li Guolou scolded angrily: "Master Xue, what are you talking about? I can't afford to support such an outstanding talent."

With a wave of his hand, Ding Richang drove away the servants and maidservants in the dining room, and said, "Master Xue, you can tell me that there are no outsiders here, they are all friends on the same line."

"Hey!" Li Hongzhang always feels a little disappointed when he thinks that the private enterprise he controls has lost to Li Guolou.The national policy supports the enterprises controlled by Li Guolou. This is the favor bestowed on Li Guolou by the imperial power.The insatiable greed made Li Hongzhang feel that the 10% shares held by his two sons in the bank were too little, and it was too late to regret it now.but that

"Well! Xiaolou, tell your wives at lunch. Now we should solve the matter of Ding Sunzi as soon as possible. You want a thousand gold to buy bones, and Ding Sunzi is the bone of the Maxima. Whether the currency reform is successful or not depends on Ding Grandson, otherwise you will be against the officials of the world, and you will be killed by a brick flying from behind your head." Xue Fucheng's face was serious, and he threatened Li Guolou with words.

"I have Master Fu's support behind me." Li Guolou found out 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. Didn't you reform the currency system so that the officials in the world would not even have the money to marry their concubine? Nowadays, which of the officials in the world depends on maintaining integrity? Those who live on silver, how many families will be ruined if you come up with a silver dollar system?" Xue Fucheng made [-] fallacies, and if he said one casually, it made people laugh out loud.

"How unreasonable! Master Xue, I want to tell you that this is an established national policy, and whoever opposes it will take off his black hat." Li Guolou fought back desperately, using the most powerful weapon to overthrow 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 Qing has also become a poor world. I can assure you that as long as your Once the monetary policy is introduced, no official will oppose it, but the national tax revenue will be greatly reduced instead. You have blocked the source of official motivation, and everyone from the lowest officials to the princes and ministers will scold you, and the Westernization Movement will also spread. Come on, do foreign workers understand?" Xue Fu grew his mouth wide, spitting everywhere, and said even more terrifying scenes, fallacies will become truth.

"Oh, what you said makes sense." Li Guolou looked up at the yard, where the green pines were swaying in the wind, and there were dead leaves floating on the ground.The rotten fallen leaves were blown off by the wind, but this quaint pines had already taken root deep in the ground, and no one could uproot them.

"The biggest advantage of me is being honest and telling the truth. Mr. Fu Xiang knows me best!" Xue Fucheng winked furtively at Li Hongzhang, with an expression that he was sure of winning, and he could win a verbal battle with him. People who are still waiting to be reincarnated in the Temple of Hades.

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 silver outflow in the Qing Dynasty, and let people come in to the bank to make a lot of money.However, it directly damages the interests of local officials. The fire consumption system of silver no longer exists. Little officials will also oppose him.

The currency reform of the Qing Dynasty seems to have succeeded, but it has planted the root of 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 public enemies of the state.Li Guolou caught a lot of lice on his official robe at random, and when he made a list in the coming year, he would definitely be suspicious.
