Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

More than 90% of the exchange point silver had been bribed dry, and there was no silver at all. Once again, the tide of raiders on the Yangtze River surged.

What was even more terrifying was that a group of thugs had actually set fire to some of the Nanyang grain boats, pushing the atmosphere of panic to the extreme.

"Fellow villagers!" Don't push! There's plenty of silver coins, and the Prime Minister's ship is at sea, so there's plenty of silver coins in the Ryukyu … " The men were moving with the crowd, trying to explain.

However, the commoners went crazy again as they cursed, "Liar, Xiao Letian is a liar …" Big guy, don't listen to his bullsh * t. The Jiangnan Notes had released 1.6 billion yuan, but Xiao Letian did not have that much money on him! "They are all lies …"

"Everyone, don't believe their lies. Half of the food boats on the Yangtze River are empty. They are all used to stabilize the human heart …" "In the morning, someone set fire to quite a few ships. In the end, there was no food at all, only big stones …"

"Rumors! Fellow villagers, don't believe me! This is a bad guy creating a rumor... Oh, don't step on me... Help! "

The poor little fellow wanted to explain to the crowd, but no one listened. The crazy crowd only became more crowded, squeezing around the little fellow until he was stepped on.

A few painful wails could be heard before there was nothing left. The numb and crazy crowd stood on the young lad's corpse and no one felt that he was alive.

There was only one word in everyone's eyes – money!

Everyone in the whole Jiangnan region was involved, regardless of their status, whether they were people of high status or low status. The market price of banknotes for silver coins was changed three times a day, and the proponents of both sides rolled up their sleeves and went on stage.

It was interesting to talk about newspapers, something that had existed for a hundred years in Europe. Originally, it was not rare in the Great Qing Dynasty.

Although the people's newspapers had recovered, the Qing Government had strictly prohibited Xiao Letian from advertising any news regarding the government. Xiao Letian was currently on a honeymoon with the Qing Government, so he did not wish to excessively provoke them. Thus, the people's newspaper had now become a tabloid gossip.

There was a lot of business information and interesting news on the market, including a lot of floral news. Coupled with a long column introducing overseas customs and practices, the newspaper had become an entertainment newspaper from the beginning to the end.

Of course, there were also newspapers in the hands of the foreigners. However, the circulation was not big, and all the newspapers were in foreign languages for the Asians to see. No one in the Great Qing Dynasty knew of the existence of newspapers.

Originally, everything was peaceful and peaceful. Unfortunately, after the war, the development of the East Asian press changed. Both sides simultaneously realized that hiring random people to spread the news was too inefficient. After thinking about it, it was still fun for the newspapers.

The people's newspaper of the Great Qing Dynasty suddenly issued a special account with a great change in style. This was a serious account without any advertisements or side news.

On the other side of the ship, the old and ruthless editor had started to write about everything from the Russian killing the gold miners of the Great Qingdao to enslaving the citizens of the Wusuli River, all the way until the people of the imperial court rose up to resist the formation of the loyal army.

It was only until now that the citizens of Jiangnan finally understood that a large piece of land had been snatched away by the Russian in the last decade, and that so many Chinese had been oppressed and enslaved. The newspaper even pulled out the mastermind behind the currency crisis, and it was none other than those foreign Bankers.

This was truly Luo Yang's paper. This account had been printed more than ten times in the Jiangnan region. Countless people began to copy it, and the originally bad image of the foreigners suddenly crumbled.

When the foreign merchants in Shanghai saw this, they immediately came up with a plan to deal with the situation on the same night of the emergency consultations. The British established the Shanghai Daily Times and the Shanghai Weekly Times, which merged together to form the Chinese version of the Shanghai Times.

The entire Times started to analyze the difference in strength between the Ryukyu and himself. How many people, how many lands, how many armies were there in the Russia?

On the other hand, just how much of a pitiful strength Xiao Letian had, even idiots would be able to tell that Xiao Letian was going to lose if they compared him with others.

He kept repeating the same phrase, "Now is the last chance for me to escape. If I don't run now, I will die without a burial ground!"

When had Great Qing ever seen such a crazy public opinion battle! For a moment, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't help but exclaim, "So …" This world is actually so complicated! "

The competition between both sides in the financial war was just that tragic. The dividends from this war were so huge, they conservatively estimated that if Xiao Letian won, he would earn at least 600 million yuan. That was enough for him to build the strongest navy in Asia.

To the foreign devils, Bankers and the buyers, if they won, the spoils of war they would receive would not only be 600 million Yuan, but might even be as high as 2 billion Yuan. It was impossible to even buy those high-quality fixed assets in Jiangnan.

Everyone turned their attention to Russian fleet. This was the first time the citizens of Jiangnan had paid so much attention to the movements of a foreign fleet. A huge financial market had already opened up for gambling, and there were even derivatives about gambling.

The dealer said that gamblers could bet on who won and who lost. They could also bet on how little money was exchanged for silver the next day. They even added food prices to the gamble three times a day.

Do you think this is gambling? But in Xiao Letian's eyes, how could this be so similar to the financial futures on the Wall Street of the future! It seems that China has no shortage of smart people, China just lacks a stage for smart people to dance on.

From that day onwards, the Russian fleet became a magic spell in the whole of Southern China. Countless people were paying attention to his movements, every step this fleet took towards Asia was like a step the death god had strangled them, causing the hearts of the people in the whole society to become a mess.

The South Ticket Market was about to collapse. At this moment, people noticed that the North Ticket s released by the northern imperial government had arrived. As the Qing Government maintained a neutral attitude in this war, this allowed the North Ticket's credibility to be protected to a certain extent.

Of course, in the Henan Province which was a contiguous province between the north and the south, there were also the Anhui and Jiangsu regions. The North Ticket had also once had some market fluctuations, but do not forget what the Qing Dynasty relied on to live in the Central Plains.

Of course I'm going to kill him! This time, the imperial government's response was very effective. The imperial government had decreed that anyone who dared to cause trouble for the North Ticket would be killed without pardon.

Tattoo don't talk to the people about human rights, what do you say? Want to exchange for cash? Take it out and behead them! Do you dare to refuse using paper money to purchase? Take it out and behead them!

The bloody heads intimidated those people, and after that, the officials continued to guarantee that there would be no problems with the taxes on the North Ticket. The imperial government had to admit, this allowed the North Ticket market to be temporarily stabilized.

The difference between the printing of North Ticket and the south ticket was obvious to the people, so the Qing Ting was not afraid of this financial crisis. On the contrary, some smart people in the imperial court even saw the opportunity in this crisis.

A North Ticket seizing the perfect opportunity of Jiangnan Market.
