Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Shut up! Emperor!

Hiding in the ammunition depot, three Chinese were munching on bread and sausage, drinking a bottle of whiskey.

"Master Yang, your good days are here after you escaped from the Ryukyu. With the secret of the paper money, can't you get rich and die in the future? "Don't forget to bring the rest of the brothers …"

"Sure, sure. Since my brothers saved me with their lives, how could I not have a few friends? "It's a pity that my wives …"

"Tsk, you're rich and you're afraid of not having a woman? When we reach Hong Kong, I'll pick out a few beauties for you in Guangzhou. That pigeon milk, that three inch golden lotus … Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this is simply the best! "

's desolate feeling of abandoning his family's property was quickly washed away by the beautiful expectations of his future life. Humans were like this, as long as their shoes get wet, it didn't matter, and this was also the same for women. This was the first time that they had an affair, maybe it was their first time feeling guilty, but as long as they got used to it, it would be natural.

The three of them chatted about the beauties and delicacies in all parts of the Great Qing, the good things that the steward would use, the good things that the servants would do, and the good things that the cooks would use. Gradually, the warship drew closer to Hong Kong.

During the days when Yang Zhi and the others were escaping through the British battleship, the Ryukyu and the Great Qing Dynasty were already at loggerheads because of this spy incident.

Firstly, the Prime Minister's Manor expressed endless anger at Weng Tonghe's envoy, and following this, the size of the welcoming ceremony for the envoy plummeted.

Originally, Shang Tai and Xiao Letian had attended the welcoming ceremony, but in the end, the two of them did not appear. Only the officials of Ryukyu's Department of Rites and Rites were able to conduct a simple ceremony and move from Shouli City to the Hall of Rites.

Originally, the banquet had turned into a teahouse party, and the ISI had turned from not being able to listen to orders to following closely behind. Feng Fu and the others protested a few times, but to no avail, they didn't even see Xiao Letian face to face.

Weng Tonghe's treatment of diplomacy was tactful, it was difficult to see him getting angry. On the battlefield, Xiao Letian was a general who shouted crazily, but once he came to the diplomatic scene, he would become tactful and tactful, even if Ci Xi was standing in front of him, he would probably joke around.

This was Xiao Letian's unique personality and charisma, as well as the quality an outstanding and mature politician should have. Qing Dynasty's actions today had obviously touched Xiao Letian's bottom line.

Inside the Hall of Rites, Weng Tonghe and Zai Chun could no longer sit still. The two of them walked around the room randomly, and the old man shook his head and asked, "Why is it like this? Just now, the Ministry of Rites said that the King of Ryukyu had already sent a protest message to Beijing, saying that if they do not give the Ryukyu an explanation, they will expel the envoy and terminate the Ministry of Revenue's bond underwriting plan … "

"It's rebelling, it's really rebelling, a little Ryukyu actually dares to be so tyrannical, and criticizes the main country so much?"

Zai Chun's performance today was far more calm than his master's. In this world, strength is the only thing that matters. Other people are just too strong, isn't that because we're too weak? "So what if it is the Subordinate States? Back then when Emperor Gao Zu was still alive, didn't the Yingyi still come to Beijing to pay respects and ask for a trade with us? But a few decades later, in the Daoguang years, the Yingyi dared to start a war with us …"

"Forget about the Ryukyu, just based on the military strength of our current Ryukyu, we are not a match for them …" Do you expect the imperial army to cross the sea and punish Ryukyu? "

The old man blushed slightly, "But Xiao Letian is still a Chinese, for such a small matter, is his reaction so intense?"

"A small matter?" Zai Chun let out a long sigh, "Master, why do you also have to say such words? The printing process of paper money is extremely confidential, it's the basis to guarantee paper money's credibility … "If we don't want to end up with a Ming Dynasty treasure note, we can't do this kind of stupid thing!"

"If we do not have the Real Gold and Silver as a deposit, then what happens when we run out of money? "Even if we use taxes as collateral, there will still be devaluation..."

"The Prime Minister said that money itself has no practical use. He is just the target of social wealth, the total amount of social wealth has not changed, but once the amount of money has increased, people will find that the purchasing power of money has decreased. This is the devaluation, westerner is called inflation …"

"Similarly, the total wealth of society is constant, but the amount of money that flows is limited, so people will realize that the same money can buy more things. This is the appreciation, westerner is called deflation …"

"In order for a country's economy to be stable, it is necessary to ensure that the purchasing power of money is as stable as possible... If the imperial court were to hand out money without authorization, it would be tantamount to stealing the wealth of the society in disguise. The part of the purchasing power lost by the people would be stolen by the people who stole the money … "

Weng Tonghe rushed over and covered Zai Chun's mouth with his hands, "Your majesty! Don't say such words again. You are the Emperor of the Great Qing! You have to know which way to go... Right now, there are already rumors in the Beijing saying that you no longer care about the flag bearer and the imperial government … "

"This kind of atmosphere cannot increase, haven't you heard the story of the three of them becoming tigers? Once this accumulated resentment was accumulated to a certain extent, it would go through a series of changes! "In the end, the Great Qing is still the Manchu's imperial court, and the customs in the Manchu don't have much to do with the orthodoxy of imperial power …"

"If His Majesty has really offended the civil and military officials and officials of the imperial court, even if you have a strong army, you can forget about becoming the emperor …" It is not only the eunuchs and maids who have died in grievance in the Forbidden City! "

Weng Tonghe knelt on the ground and looked left and right. No one said in a low voice, "Everyone knows that the Emperor is the Son of Heaven, as if he is a saint that cannot be violated. However, countless amounts of Emperors have died in the history, in front of power and authority, even Emperors would try to obstruct one's way …"

"Rebellion and chaos caused by a battle of attrition are all fools. This lowly one's schemes are impossible to guard against. Chronic poisons, the beauty of a song every night, the elixir of immortality …" Countless ancient emperors have died in these schemes! "

"Your Majesty, please be careful. Your travelling studies have touched upon the interests of many important figures. The discontent of the capital has been stirred up. Are you going to take the initiative now?"

"So what if they make counterfeit money? In the end, it wasn't the imperial government that was the cheapest. Could it be that Xiao Letian had made all of this money for nothing? Your Majesty, you really cannot make any comment on this matter. You must make them feel that you are still the emperor of the imperial court, and not someone who has let Xiao Letian brainwash … "

Zai Chun's mind buzzed, he was still young after all. He could not accept the reality of the battle in such a cruel palace.

"Then what should I do?" Zai Chun said powerlessly.

"You don't need to do anything. You just have to shut up and don't act the way you did before. You want to participate in politics at such a young age …"

"Your majesty, you must know, many people do not wish for the imperial government to produce another ancestor, another High Ancestor, and another Master Kang Xi? "Then where are they going to get power from?"
