Chapter 760 Finance

"Well, that's a good idea." Wolfe looked northeast of Dasong and nodded slowly.

As a lieutenant in the navy, he had no power to determine Britain's diplomacy.

But in his heart, he believed that he should contact the Russians to jointly deal with the threat from Dasong.

Because the rise of this King of Yan will not only harm their interests in the East.

Another very important point is that this is a non-Western country.

A nation of yellow monkeys that they despised.

How can they tolerate such a country overtaking them on paper.

It was as unbearable as the colonial natives sitting with them drinking coffee.

Therefore, before the decision of the British Parliament arrives.

He supports Japan to do this first so as not to delay the opportunity.

"Okay, it's settled." Wolfe's support cheered up Watanabe.

Thinking that King Yan had won the Battle of Goryeo and might attack Japan next, he thought of a way to divert trouble eastward and said to Wolfe: "King Yan will inevitably be satisfied with this great victory, but he is afraid of attacking Japan." If Japan is not in a good position, it will affect the cooperation between Japan and you."

Wolfe nodded. It was precisely because of this concern that he decided to station the fleet in Edo.

Watanabe Case continued: "So, I think we should continue to provoke a war between the Dasong clan and the King of Yan."

"Liang Kai is also an extremely shrewd person. I'm afraid he won't agree, especially since we failed in Goryeo and he lost so many warships." Wolfe frowned.

Between Wu and Japan, he relied more heavily on Japan.

As both island countries, Japan and Britain have many similarities.

Compared with the Dasong clan, Japan is less willing to see the rise of King Yan, so it is more trustworthy.

It is not impossible to sacrifice the interests of Wu State to protect Japan.

After all, even if we fully cooperate with Japan, it will take a year and a half to transport steam engines and personnel to Japan.

During this period, anything could happen, and it was still necessary for the Dashong clan to make some noise to attract King Yan's attention.

"Liang Kai is just a villain who is unscrupulous. As long as the benefits given to him are big enough, he will do anything." Wolff did not object, and the Watanabe case continued to be controversial. "Over the years, we in Japan and Liang We have a lot of contact with him, and I know him very well.”

Pacing back and forth, Wolfe pondered for a while and nodded: "In this case, I will give you the same conditions as Japan to seduce him."

"Yes, we really have something in mind." Watanabe smiled.

In this Goryeo war, Japan made the biggest sacrifice, and they deserved the support of the British and Sam people.

In a normal war, the Wu Kingdom is simply dispensable, and it is unfair to have the support of Britain and Sam at the same time.

They have to pay some more to be satisfied.

"I will send someone to the Kingdom of Wu to discuss this matter." Wolfe shook his fist, "It's just that these powerful clans may not be able to deal with the King of Yan's army with just these powerful people. We should suggest them to dig out some money and find some mercenary."

The Eastern Continent is currently the last area being developed by the Western Continent countries.

Therefore, there are a large number of mercenaries operating in the colonies in the Eastern and Southern Regions.

They are all outlaws or veterans of the military.

After arriving in Dongtu, they recruited natives to join their team.

As long as they are given money, they are willing to do anything.

The matter was agreed upon, and the next day, a British steamship left for Rincheng from Edo.

The steamer did not delay the sailing warship.

In this way, the maximum speed can be maintained, and even if it is discovered by the Yanwang battleship, it can be far away.

Therefore, Wolfe was not worried about the safety of the steamship at all.

At the same time, there was also a steamship carrying Japanese envoys to Beidi.

…

Yancheng.

Japan and Britain are making small moves frequently, but here it is a lively scene.

The four major banks opened on the same day.

In front of the door, big red firecrackers exploded, and the green smoke and strong smell of gunpowder made people unable to open their eyes and coughing.

Even so, the common people and merchants who came to deposit money and want to borrow money refused to back down.

There were even bolder naughty boys who rushed over as soon as the firecrackers had exploded and picked up the misfired firecrackers with joy on their faces.

"It's really lively, Your Highness, I'm afraid half of the people from Yancheng are here." Liu Fu held a plate and stood on Zhao Xu's right side. Inside was broken silver, peanuts, and red dates.

"No, who doesn't want to make a fortune today." Yang He stood on the right side of Zhao Xu.

During this period, his firm was officially promoted to the Commercial Department and was responsible for the entire industrial and commercial development of Dasong. Naturally, it was inseparable from the support of the four major banks.

Therefore, when the four major banks opened, he also had a great turn.

"Hahaha...these four major industries are the beginning of my praise of finance. The more people who get lucky, the more prosperous they will be." Zhao Xu said auspicious words while laughing.

After that, he grabbed a handful on the plate in his hand and sprinkled it to the crowd.

"Oh..." Seeing Zhao Xu spreading the lottery, the people suddenly became excited, laughing and fighting for it.

They do not lack this. After several years of development, the lives of Yanzhou people have become more and more prosperous.

I came here just for fun.

When Liu Fu and Yang He saw this, they also scattered the winnings in their hands, and the commotion in front of the four major groups became more and more noisy.

After scattering the lottery, after the people had finished picking it up, Zhao Xu said loudly to the people who came: "You can safely deposit your money in the four major banks, but I assure you that your money will never be less, it will only be more." ”

After a pause, he continued: "As for those who want to build a workshop or do business without money, you can also borrow money boldly. The four major banks will never ask you for high interest, but you can't not pay it back after you make a fortune..."

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

With the personal guarantee of King Yan, they felt reassured.

Then Zhao Xu made way and made a gesture of invitation.

The people immediately poured into the four major banks, crowding the lobby of the four major banks.

Many people held silver in their hands and asked to deposit it in the bank.

"This bank collects the wealth of the world and then takes it to the most important places. It is really beneficial to the country and the people." Seeing the lively scene in the bank lobby, Yang He couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Xu nodded.

In this era, people like to hide their extra silver at home and not show their wealth.

But in this way, the silver circulating in the market has become less and less, and it has become dead money.

Allowing the people to deposit money in the bank is equivalent to the court borrowing money from the people, investing the money in industry and commerce, and infrastructure, and then returning the profits to the people as interest on savings.

At the same time, with the support of a large amount of money, industry and commerce will also be active.

Moreover, although the palace has saved some money through trade and taxation in recent years.

But this money is a drop in the bucket for infrastructure and workshop construction. In any case, it is better to gather the wealth of the world in the bank.
