Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The plan that Xiao Letian had mentioned about the aquaculture camp was not just a delusion that he had thought of to stay on the paper. Actually, this plan had already surfaced before the war, but only a few elites had the right to know about it.

Of course, these people would not spread it to the outside, and even more so, would not tell it to Zai Chun, the emperor of the Great Qing.

Since humans had completed their geographical discoveries, the distance between countries had grown smaller and smaller. The ancient people talked about the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea, and Xiao Letian had sometimes even said the words "global village".

From these two words you can sense a great change in the consciousness of human society. In the Middle Ages Europeans believed that the end of the Atlantic was a cliff, that the water flowed like a waterfall into the universe, and that wherever the ship went, it fell into the universe.

Nowadays, the concept of the earth being round had already been deeply rooted in the minds of the people, including the various sects and schools of Christianity. After the fact that the earth was round had been proven, Christianity had been directly beaten down and religion had quickly retreated from Europe, no longer able to compete with secular power.

Since Earth had become a village, it meant that the circulation of people, wealth, and goods was becoming more and more convenient. At this time, more and more merchants threw themselves into international trade, and there was bound to be a portion of successful merchants choosing to upgrade, which meant that capitalists began to appear.

The most successful merchant group in the history of mankind must be Jews. This had already become an international consensus in Xiao Letian's previous life.

But in the middle of the nineteenth century, the Jews were powerful but could only be described as a member of a successful group of merchants.

The Arabian merchants, the Chinese Jin Shang merchants, and the thirteen lines of Guangzhou, including the recent thriving Jiang-Zhe Business Group, were also very powerful merchants at that time. The capital they controlled was not one bit inferior to that of the Jews.

Now that the Chinese race had risen to power, Xiao Letian did his utmost to promote mercantilism. As long as the Chinese Shang of the world complied with the rules and stayed in this group of the Chinese race, they would receive protection, and even political rights.

This would stimulate all merchants in the world. To be able to obtain political rights was the dream of all merchants over thousands of years. That was why you could see the sub-titles of all the Chinese businesses in this new City.

In this era, the Jin Shang was very close to the Great Qing. However, even though they were from the Jin Shang's family, they actually sent their own son to the Ryukyu to get their points.

The Qiao Family's business name, the Great Virtue Bank, the Chang Family's jade company number, the Cao Family's Sanpang Hall, and the Hou Family's name … All the famous merchants in the Jin Shang had opened offices with Na Ba, some even had opened branch offices.

This was the nature of all the merchants betting on each other and spreading their net widely. However, to be able to get those Jin Shang who never interfered with the trade to give a name for themselves, this proved that Xiao Letian's mercantilism was supported by countless of merchants.

Good wind, with your power, help me ascend to the Azure Sky! Xiao Letian's influence could not be separated from these merchants's support. These merchants had spent the most money and energy in all of the wars.

Not to mention the southern part of the storm that had made everyone unable to eat or sleep well, at that time, almost all of the Chinese merchants had placed their lives on Xiao Letian.

Putting aside Xiao Letian's father-in-law, Fan Lian, even if the whole family followed him until the end of the road, they had no other choice. After all, without a son, this young master was the only one left to follow Xiao Letian.

But the other merchants were different, such as Keeper Niu, the big boss of Four Seas Bank who was only second to Fan Lian, and Boss Mi, the majority shareholder of the Mi Shi Bank.

Rewards for grace was a very important reason, and the titles and political rights set up for the merchants within the Chinese Statute Book were also a very important reason. And the third reason was the plan for the aquaculture camp launched by Xiao Letian before the war of the Far East.

Businessmen can't just rely on kindness to tie them down. If you want them to fight to the death, or even kill them, you'll have to write a cheque.

How rich the Far East was, and how rich the natural resources there were, had already been a lot before the war. First, these merchants were provoked, and then they secretly gave out their plans to the key figures.

My god, how could any merchant in the world escape the temptation of monopolization! For a land of over 1 million square kilometers, there were only three permits for wood development, and they were even going to be auctioned off. One could imagine how fierce the robbery was.

There were also investments in gold, iron ore, non-ferrous metals, smelting, and port construction … Although the starting capital of the most profitable industries was quite large, the returns were extremely high. As long as they could guarantee a monopoly, there would be nothing that they would not earn money.

The number of merchants who ran over to Fan Ru's side to express their loyalty before the war was innumerable. The Old Master was so annoyed by this group of people that he almost lost his mind.

In the end, all the special War bond s released by the Chinese had been swept clean. In addition, they had also successfully dragged the Jiang-Nan ticket crisis to victory. They had even obtained the first stock exchange market in Asia … It was because of the unremitting efforts of these merchants that the War of the Far East had sufficient ammunition.

Many years after the war, European military experts and politicians analyzed this war. Only then did they slowly uncover Xiao Letian's previous financial plans from the many pieces of information they had decrypted. It was only then did they realise that the defeat by Sha Russia was not wrong at all.

The Chinese side had instigated a military battle in the Far East. The Chinese side had declared war on the Russian Federation in terms of finance, diplomacy and military. Their battle plan was not above that of the Military Maps s.

In the three aspects of the war, only the military side of Russia had some interesting tactics, while the diplomatic side was completely passive and took beatings. As for the financial side, they were not aware of that.

Before the war, Xiao Letian had also been conflicted. He was clearly aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the colonization plan. In his previous life, there was a unique country, Korea, whose post-World War II economic rise depended on the policy of aquaculture.

After the Korean War, the line split the two countries. Originally, the Korean peninsula was a mountainous and barren place, but now that it was divided into two countries, it was even more so.

Korea looked carefully at its own land. The farmland did not depend on growing food, but it was still up to the heavens to feed them. There were simply no resources, and the limited coal and iron resources were all north, so they could not develop them either.

In the end, the only way to survive was to develop manufacturing, but there was no place for them in international manufacturing at that time.

There was no need to talk about the older English and French or America. The defeated nation, Germany, was full of resources. Even the manufacturing industry of Japan had become a climate-change.

If South Korea wanted to take action now, they would have to use some evil tricks, and in the end, they would have to reveal their plan to attack the aquarium camp, and that was even more so than Xiao Letian's plan.
