Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Qing Wen coughed lightly, resolving the awkwardness and placed the hot milk in Fu Hui's hands. "Madame only knows that it's a joke, that's not what I meant …"

"Do you remember? Last spring, that shopkeeper called Fan Jin brought us a gift from the Second Wife, a gift from Fu Sang. "

"The westernmost weave, the add silk, the fan, the iron pot, the tortoise shell, the smeared tea etc …"

"That day, Madame was in the buddhist hall greeting buddha, I accompanied shopkeeper Fan Jin and chatted for a while, and within it, we chatted about the current Capital's luxurious atmosphere!"

"He is, after all, a Trader. He travels far and wide, even going overseas frequently. The story he told me made it hard for me to guess!"

"It's said that among the Imperial palace, no one goes to a banquet with less than a thousand taels of silver. What white tongue, that's just a small thing. Ever since our Special Administrative Region's glass factory began production, many warm rooms were built around the Capital!"

"In the cold winter, you can eat the freshest watermelon, and those Prince watermelons will only eat a spoonful of Center. Sometimes, during a feast, a plate of watermelon will cost you over a hundred watermelons …"

"There's no need to talk about the rare delicacies from the mountains and the seas. They even like to import products from the western seas now!" Right now, the new foreign trade houses in the Capital are opening one after another, every one of them has a thriving business! "

"With the help of our Chinese's shipping facilities, they have truly enjoyed some of the world's good stuff! Who had ever eaten a Monarch crab in the deep seas before? Now, we can fish them up from the north side of Fu Sang and the corydalis radix s. Then, we can send them thousands of miles away using ice cubes to the Capital s! "

"What red wine from the Europa, wild game from Africa, coffee from the South America … I heard that there is a USA Merchant ships that specializes in selling buffalo from the North America! "

"To drive a living buffalo onto a boat, float across the ocean and travel across the entire Pacific Ocean, and then deliver it to the Beijing for the royal officials to enjoy!"

"What kind of old master gave us caviar, ham, cheese... Right now, Capital is no longer a rare place, there are plenty of them! "

"These are all shipped from overseas. The freight is more than ten times more expensive than the ingredients themselves!"

"Not only do they care about food, they also care about dressing up... I heard that Sharif is in the middle of a good deal right now, there are countless white bears and white seal sea lions in the north … "

"That leather goods are definitely top-notch, it is even better than the quality of the outside's leather goods … There's really a shortage of supply in Capital, buy as many as you want! "

"The Prince Kung used to spend one hundred and sixty thousand silver to buy ten whole pieces of white bear skin! The silver Flower is like a drizzle of water, it didn't even blink … "

"The size of the eight major alleys has been exactly twice that of the first year of Xian Feng, and the number of women who are scum has been increased by at least three times. It's practically a night's worth of songs, and those Official s have gone crazy playing around!"

"Even the craftier the wiser. The entire Beijing is so extravagant that it has turned into a wind, and is several times more vicious than before the incident with the long hair!"

Fu Hui had never heard these stories before. She held the milk in her hands and even forgot to drink it, "You … What's the point of saying all this? What does this old master have to do with this? "

"After listening to it for half a day, it seems that it's because the Chinese has increased the scale of the ocean trade, making it easier for luxury goods to enter the capital from overseas. It's more convenient for them to buy them … …"

"This can't be blamed on old master!" Ping Er was unhappy.

Qing Wen laughed and said, "I'm not done yet, the reason why Master got his sea to import more luxury goods is because of the extravagance he brought up, and the reason is because of Fan Jin. And it's even above the silver! "

"Manager Fan Jin said … It was as if the original words were true … In fact, the production of Silver on the entire planet is very high, it's not even a little bit rare compared to gold! "

"And South America has many mountains of pure silver … It's really Silver Mountain, not just because it's a joke but because the entire mountain is filled with silver! "

"silver are not expensive on the international market, why are they expensive in the Daqing? The reason is because we China produce less silver, and also used silver as Currency, so silver are clearly more expensive! "

"Master has been doing business all these years in the world, taking the initiative to go out and do business. Through all kinds of methods, he can directly purchase the cheapest silver ore, and then refine it ourselves!"

"Is the cost of the silver reduced? The forged silver dollar s are sent to the Great Qing Kingdom to spend it, does that mean that the total number of silver s is increasing? "

"This seems to be something... What inflation! There were still so many goods on the market, but the silver were increasing in number. Wouldn't that mean the silver were not worth much? "The items are getting more and more expensive …"

"Fan Jin said that all these years, Silver are absolute importers of the Great Qing Kingdom. It is because the entire Country has silver roots, there are too many silver in the society, and with the help of the banknote, the court suddenly became rich! "

"Especially those Official s and ministers, they already have a lot of ways to earn money. Since we have more money, what else can we wait for? "

Upon saying that, Fu Hui and Ping Er suddenly realised, "That makes sense, that does make sense. If it really is Xiao Letian's fault, then it must be him who brought so many Silver!"

Ping Er asked in confusion, "But... But look at the people on the market, life is still so tough, even with this money, they still don't have a good time! "

Qing Wen shrugged her shoulders. I've also asked the other Manager Fan … Fan Jin said that this is the problem of the distribution. The Silver Flood is coming and the inflation is coming, but the way of distributing the wealth has not changed! "

"The entire court is just those Imperial palace s and Official s that are able to enjoy the benefits of this Silver's inflation. people is not affected by it at all, their income is still that high …"

"Not only does the income not rise, but we also have to share the pressure of social inflation... To put it bluntly, this is to let the entire nation's people share the benefits for those people whose heads are full of fat … "

Fu Hui let out a long sigh as she closed her eyes, "The two of you are singing at the same time, do you take me as your Idiot!? Do you want to plead for Zhu Bao? directly put his crime of embezzlement in the dark of the official area? "

"That's right... Everyone is extravagant and extravagant, but it is rare for him to be able to get away with it alone... "

Qing Wen and Qing Wen looked at each other and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Qing Wen said in a low voice: "We are not pleading for adults Zhu Bao, but we are actually just trying to say that all the officials here are black crows. Zhu Bao is already considered grey in here!"

"The river workers use silver s, can't you just make up for it in the future! If he could protect the adults from any crime, they could drink blood and even intentionally cause a grievance, forcing a few rich families to die to earn some dark money … If it really is like that, Madame will kill him with one slash! "

"He doesn't dare to do all these, it is just embezzlement of some engineering funds, and he is considered a good Official in this Great Qing Kingdom's official territory!"
