Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C3454 The Soldiers'Costs of Selling

The ideals of the lowest class people were actually very simple. There was food, change, and flowers.

One should not look down on the fact that they were in arrears. A single silver dollar a month was not a lot of money to them. However, it was just a small amount of money. Many forces were unable to afford it.

In his previous life, Xiao Letian was mainly responsible for business negotiations, and he received a lot of systematic training in his spare time.

This was the very famous Marlboros Pyramid Map!

The experts in training had made some adaptable modifications to the Malloroth Pyramid Map. The result was that the lowest level of the Pyramid, which was the most basic requirement of the staff, was actually not very high.

It was just a timely salary offer!

It sounded like a lowly dream, but at that time, Xiao Letian could not understand why such a demand could be put on the stage to be explained in detail.

However, after the explanation of the training experts, he then understood that although Xiao Letian was not some famous figure in his previous life, he was still a good candidate among the white-collar workers in the imperial city.

The treatment of middle-class people gave him the feeling of not eating minced meat at all!

Of course, at his level, he wouldn't face any salary arrears. However, in the lower and middle class of society, it was already very rare for ordinary people to find a peaceful job that didn't involve any salary arrears.

A large number of companies in the society were in arrears in salary of their employees, some even maliciously in arrears. Every year, more conflicts would appear and even news reports would be lazy to spread.

From then on, Xiao Letian understood a principle. To most ordinary people, rather than giving them fake big cakes, it was better to just tell him the truth.

The actual benefits he had gained were much more convincing than verbal promises!

The Tongzhi Emperor took out a million pounds. How much is a million silver worth? How many meters can I buy? These were things that ordinary soldiers had no idea about.

The emperor and the officials talked until their eyes filled with tears, while the soldiers had a hard time empathizing with them!

Until Zai Chun realised this, he immediately expressed that he would pay the soldiers their salaries when it was day, and each person would receive 10 pieces of shiny silver as reward!

This was what ordinary soldiers wanted. The sounds of cheers throughout the night never stopped. Even the villagers who heard it kept chanting Amitabha!

At the end of the nineteenth century, Fujian was a new port. Throughout the entire Qing Dynasty, there were not many places with too many people. The villagers were too poor, some of them had never touched silver in their entire lives.

Many of the villages in the Wuyishan were still using items to exchange for items!

With ten silver coins in the hands of these villagers, the amount of resources exchanged would be enough to sustain a family for a whole year of disaster. With these ten silver coins, the soldiers would feel at ease!

They knew that the silver would be in their parents' hands. With this silver as a lifesaver, they would be able to go to war with the Emperor without worry.

His family had always been poor. They had gotten used to it. The commoners had ten thousand ways to survive the disaster … If they had ten more silver coins and three months of salary arrears, the soldiers would have more confidence.

If more than ten silver taels were to be placed at home, it would guarantee that no one would starve to death in three years. Then they would be able to peacefully fight for three years with the Emperor's life on the line!

And during these three years of service, the Emperor would surely bestow more rewards to the family. A family that could eat royal food would be saved by the whole family!

If it was under the protection of the ancestors, they could buy heaven and earth, or even purchase some properties and properties, regardless of whether they were sick or not!

If he could find a carpenter or blacksmith to make some tools to grind tofu and squeeze oil, then this small family workshop would be able to do it!

"Long live the Emperor! This is truly a Saint Lord meeting! "

The soldiers were so excited that their eyes were streaming with tears. At that moment, they truly had the determination to die for the emperor!

"Give it your all!" It's worth it to trade my life for the lives of my parents and sisters! "

After a sleepless night, Zai Chun felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment when he saw Hachi Chan's high morale, which had been boosted by him.

"Master!" I only understand your feelings today, but it's actually such a wonderful feeling to feel thousands of times move according to your feelings! "

"A good man should be! "When that happens …"

The Zai Chun who was in a good mood actually drank a few more bowls of rice wine, he lied down on the army bed in the big tent and fell into a deep sleep!

Outside the tent was the sleepless night of Huban's excitement. The soldiers were laughing, chatting, and praising … "Ahh!" It was like hearing the sound of tides on the way back to their country as they surrounded Tongzhi.

"His Majesty... Wake up... His Majesty... Wake up! "

In his dream, Zai Chun was bringing an army from the Deisenmun into Beijing, when suddenly, Da Sixi's hateful voice sounded, startling the emperor's sweet dreams.

"What time is it? Has This Emperor overslept? " Zai Chun opened his eyes and saw that his mouth was swollen.

"Your Majesty, don't be in such a hurry …" It's only four-thirty in the morning and the sky is still dark... "

"Ouch …" "It's so early …" Zai Chun yawned.

Da Sixi was so anxious that he was about to cry. His Majesty, please calm your anger. "He said we have to wake up His Majesty. It's urgent …"

Zai Chun's sleepiness had completely disappeared. He jumped up from the bed and shouted, "Bring him in, hurry up …"

4 am was the darkest time of the day. Although many of the soldiers in the army had not slept due to the excitement, they were still talking quietly.

The moment Shen Baozhen entered, he brought in a gust of fresh air from the forest and blew on Zai Chun, giving him a shock!

With a "putong" sound, Shen Baozhen kneeled in front of Tongzhi the emperor. This subject … This subject is useless … I plead for His Majesty to punish me! "

Zai Chun's heart thumped loudly, "What happened exactly? "Stop kowtowing, hurry up and say it …"

"Ah, His Majesty … This official is incapable, unable to get his hands on the cash … Fuzhou City is truly unable to exchange for any silver! "

"What?" Zai Chun was anxious, "Bastard! What I have given you is the promissory note to the Bank of England, a Real Gold and Silver! You can't even afford to pay a million silver? "

"What do I need you for?" Tongzhi was so angry that he slammed the document on the table into Shen Baozhen's head.

Shen Baozhen didn't dodge and just kneeled there with his back straightened and replied, "His Majesty, this subject is useless. I was able to exchange for four hundred thousand in half a day. Those ticket numbers... And the rich merchants... All... You don't even know the English promissory notes! "

"No …" "You don't know him?" Zai Chun was so angry that he almost fainted. Even in his wildest imaginations, he had never thought that the late Qing Chinese merchants would be so closed, and had even overestimated the scope of the merchants in Fuzhou.

Not knowing a single word, it made Tongzhi unable to say a single word!
