He turned his head and asked the minister as if confirming.
In fact, without the last sentence, no one doubts that the emperor is not qualified.It's just this last sentence that completely undermines the majesty of the emperor.
"Your Majesty is really wise..." Lahua's launching into the water has always been something the minister has been looking forward to. At this moment, the opponent is preparing to attack the revolutionary army. It will definitely not be a small fight. No matter what the result is, he will always be the winner.
The land occupied by the revolutionary army belongs to the empire, and this is only on the surface. In fact, everyone knows that the empire has lost the ownership of that piece of land.
"Then, aside from military expenses, we hope to lease the river estuary near Dawn City and the right to develop and use the area along the way from the estuary to Dawn City."
"Ambassador Li, if I remember correctly, the estuary from Shuguang City is a 600-kilometer river. If that area is leased, the rent will be..."
"Of course we want zero cost... It's just that Huaguo's treasury funds are currently tight, and it's not enough to just invest in construction. It's really powerless to pay the rent."
When it comes to money, of course it is necessary to do nothing.
This time, in addition to the permission of force, the test of the sea is being carried out.After all, that is the construction base of the future navy and the oil operation center.
The planning of that place will definitely not be weaker than the current Dawn City.
"There are difficulties, of course we understand, but zero rent will seriously damage the relationship and trade exchanges between our two countries, so let's put this matter aside..."
The opponent is still thinking about occupying more land, which is absolutely impossible to simply let go.The minister has his own thoughts...
Chapter 173 Huaguo Bank
Even now that the Chinese ambassador went to the Imperial Palace to discuss the assassination incident, it did not affect the normal trade in the business district near the location of the Chinese embassy.Of course, this has something to do with the news not being disclosed.
Since the opening of the air transport flight from the empire to Dawn City, the goods have been continuously sent to the imperial capital.
The far-sighted noble merchants gathered here to buy cheap but exquisite and practical goods from China.Especially food convenience is in short supply.
If it weren't for the original agreement, several important grains would be handed over to the chamber of commerce under the name of the minister for sale, and many people would try their best to get more shares.
In today's turbulent era, there is nothing more important than food.
"Boss Feeney, are you here to exchange gold coins again today?"
"Of course, of course, you don't only recognize the currency issued by Philius, otherwise, I can directly buy it with the gold coins of the empire, without having to go to such trouble to exchange it before buying."
"There is no way to do this. After all, the empire does not allow us to use our country's currency for trade exchange, so we can only use a compromise method of exchange. Of course, it is just a little troublesome for us, but there is no way, but this gold coin is completely useless. There is no possibility of counterfeiting, and there is no need to worry about receiving counterfeit money when using it.”
In fact, the use of this gold coin these days has made many people realize the importance of this gold coin.After all, gold coins, which are comparable to works of art, can tell the real from the fake at a glance, and it is too convenient to use.
Of course, if the quantity is small, it may not be useful, and it is fine as a collection.But no matter how many gold coins were used to exchange, the place called "Hua Guo Bank" in Huaguo could always produce the same amount of gold coins, which let them know that the other party's reserves of gold coins were beyond their imagination.
"Indeed, but no matter what, it would be nice if it could be more convenient..."
Although there is no problem in anti-counterfeiting, but also, the quantity is too large, and the transportation is really inconvenient.It's just that if there are paper money, the weight will be very small, but the same thing. The empire expressly stipulates that paper and pen cannot be used. The disaster of using paper and pen in the past almost caused the empire to be destroyed directly.
Although, that was hundreds of years ago.
The manager of Huaguo Bank just smiled and said nothing.
The Empire banned paper money, of course he knew it.The root cause is that banknotes are too forged, and the institutions that have been in charge of manufacturing are too private, completely disregarding inflation, in an attempt to use banknotes to continuously gather wealth in the hands of the people.
The final result is that the money in the hands of the people has no purchasing power at all.
Therefore, the people pushed to the limit raised the banner of resistance.Although, this time the rebellion ended under the suppression of the empire.
But at least, the expected purpose of these people has been achieved, forcing the empire to ban paper money.
This is not a victory.
After such a thing happened, it was expressly stipulated that paper money could not be manufactured, and the money circulating in the market could only be made of metal currencies such as gold coins and silver coins.
"However, I have always been curious about the meaning of the string of words next to it. I remember that the original gold coin did not have this word at all, and there were patterns, which seemed to be different from the original version."
"That is the latest finalized version. The previous version is only a trial version, which is transitional."
In fact, the manager of Huaguo Bank was originally a member of the logistics department of the Shuguang Base.It's just that the rest of the staff can't be transferred, so they can only be recruited from the logistics to act temporarily.
Although he is now wearing a suit and tie, and looks like a successful person, in fact he still prefers military uniforms.
He was looking forward to his immediate boss, Lin Ye, bringing relevant personnel to take over his job as soon as possible.
"That's it!"
Fick shook her head. She clearly knew that the elements on the current version of the gold coins were not empires at all. The first batch still had the shadow of the empire, but now this batch is completely gone.
What this means, he can think of, but, knowing it is knowing, some words cannot be said.He's just a businessman doing business.He is willing to invest, but he is unwilling to participate in the politics of the empire.
The ancestral precepts clearly told him never to get involved in politics.Because if you are not careful, you will be killed.
What's more, this is the time when the edifice of this empire is about to collapse.
He just needs to make money.Anyway, no matter who is in power, as long as his father has enough money and taxes, then there is no problem.
Seeing that the gold coins had been exchanged, he signaled the servant to take the gold coins away, then turned and left.
Although he was originally a soldier in the army's logistics, he was sent here because he knew the country's layout.
You must know that according to recent data feedback, some of the gold coins exchanged by these merchants are used for the purchase of goods, and the remaining gold coins are all taken away.
What does this represent? It means that they trust this 'gold coin of Huaguo' even more (everyone knows that this is for sale by Huaguo, but it is only named in the name of Philip Wusde).
Then, next, as the number of people using it increases and the scope becomes wider and wider, the recognition of this gold coin is getting higher and higher.
Huaguo will gradually control the country's economy.
Afterwards, whether it is to take over the country in an all-round way, or to stand on the sidelines and let the country develop on its own, it will not cause any damage to the interests of China.
This is a relatively simple currency war.It's just that with the current technology of the empire, there is no suitable method at all.
Of course, by means of war, or by administrative means, such gold coins cannot be circulated in the market.
this is possible.
But it is only possible.
The self-proclaimed powerful empire would never imagine what kind of national power the country he faced had.
Economics, politics, military, no matter which one is far behind the empire.
Today's gentle and friendly attitude is just because they don't want to destroy the world too much, and they don't want to attract too much attention from the world forces here.Of course, there are also considerations for the safety of their own personnel.
After all, everyone who comes here is precious.
……
A strong country is indeed the best guarantee of diplomacy.However, Li Lei knew the strength of his country, but the idiots in front of him didn't know it at all. Up to now, they were immersed in the dream of a powerful empire.
It is obvious that the revolutionary army has not yet solved the problem of passing the southwestern aliens.
And based on the current policy strategy, he can't do too tough things.If everything is solved by the army, then he is not needed as a diplomat.
"Then, Your Majesty, thank you for your proof of force permit, I will go back to report first..." The main purpose has been achieved, and Li Lei is going to go back to report.
The harvest is not much, but it is also a lot.
Chapter 174
"You bastard, I'm not done with you, you know? You let me stay in that dark room for so long, I will never forgive you."
When the door of the confinement room was opened, the light from outside shone in, causing Chelsea to squint her eyes slightly, but deep down in her heart was a sense of relief.Then, he walked towards the gate as fast as he could, and happened to run into Lin Ye who had just walked out and looked like he had nothing to do.
Chelsea rushed forward and let out a sigh of relief.
"If it wasn't for assassinating me and almost succeeding, how could I have come to this place!" Lin Ye had an innocent expression on his face.He doesn't want to come to this place either!But the military order is like a mountain, and he must obey it.
It's only half a day, it's okay for him, if it's three days and three nights, it's really torture, after all, there is hunger in the process.
"Then don't call me up! Do you know how scary this place is? It's pitch black. No matter how I shout, there is no response. The world seems to be clean, and I am the only one left. Apart from my voice, I can't hear anything else at all...and you still dare to take advantage of me now..."
At first, she could bear it, but just treated it as night, but when she closed her eyes and prepared to pass the time, Chelsea found that she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
In the end, I really couldn't bear it, and I leaned on the wall to search, trying to find the way out, but I felt different, but no matter how I knocked on the door, no one responded.
Chelsea understood that this was Lin Ye's punishment for her.
"Pfft...you can't talk nonsense, you rushed up and hugged me, I can't shake it off no matter what, you see my hands are all raised, and you asked me to interrogate , so I brought you here. You are one of the parties involved, and you are responsible for the guilt, so you can experience the feeling of a small black room, isn't it a matter of course."
"Who wants to share the burden with you!" Although this is true, Chelsea is also very embarrassed to be told like this.
Seeing the posture of herself and Lin Ye now, Chelsea was embarrassed for a while.The rebirth-like feeling she faced just now and the anger at the man made her completely oblivious to what she had done.
It's just... Just now, after taking so much advantage of me, it's really unacceptable to treat me like this.
"Who touched my face, touched my chest..." Seeing that there was no one else outside the door, Chelsea plucked up the courage to continue, "Finally touched my buttocks, let me tell you, if you don't Responsible, I don’t think I’ll let you go.”
I rushed up by myself, I just reacted subconsciously, it has nothing to do with me.
"Responsible or not, I tell you it's impossible, don't say whether I want to be responsible, even if I want to be responsible, it's impossible."
My own marriage has a military marriage law, and I can't marry a non-citizen unless I take off this military uniform.
Of course, another point is that I have a girlfriend in private.
"Why?" Chelsea, who was fighting, calmed down a lot.She was very curious about what he said.
"As a Chinese soldier, the marriage partner must be a citizen of the country. You have not acquired the nationality of my country, so this is not acceptable."
Lin Ye shook his head slightly, with a tone full of regret, "So you just give up! What's more, facing a woman who wants to kill me, how can I spend my whole life with her, responsible for something, it's impossible!"
"That's right, that's it!" Chelsea showed a bright smile, but Lin Ye felt that the hidden meaning of this smile was very profound. "I will work hard to join Huaguo and obtain nationality. Please take care of me in the future. I believe that my ability will definitely be able to obtain Huaguo nationality!"
After taking a few steps back and arranging her clothes, Chelsea walked out of the confinement room.According to the rare conversations last night, one of them was to agree to answer questions raised by other interrogators.
"This..." Lin Ye was able to shake his head slightly and sighed.
Huaguo is eager for talents, but it will also choose.Compared to Chelsea, Lin Ye thinks that Chitong is more likely to obtain Huaguo nationality.
After teleporting to the command center, after confirming that the personnel are ready, I ate a little breakfast and waited for the interrogation to end. After taking the materials, I came to the base of the night attack.
It's just that compared to the previous few times when he had a smile on his face, now this time, Lin Ye's expression is serious and has a hint of apologizing.
Chelsea has already confessed that the top leader of the Revolutionary Army personally ordered her to assassinate herself, and distorted the information about herself during the period, which led to Chelsea's determination to assassinate herself.
I really don't know the choice of night attack after knowing such a thing!Let's break up or say...
Thinking of the possibility of joining him, Lin Ye could only shake his head, the chance was too small.It's just that after today, their relationship with the revolutionary army has gone a different way.
Of course, after those high-level people are eliminated, the people with lofty ideals led by Ed will start new exchanges with them.
A good excuse to use force, but before the official start, preparations must be made.
