The reason why Li Junwei believed that Jinshang Bank had lobbyed King Cheng was because he went to see Lin Junhong before leaving Beijing. After the nomination review of the new cabinet was completed, Lin Junhong had already been in the Senate. After completing the legislative work of the first law on the protection of minors, he further prepared to improve the financial law, mainly for foreign-related loans.

However, this bill involves too many levels and needs to be treated differently. For example, the civil war in Japan has consumed too much in recent years and gradually subsided. When the battle was lively in the past few years, various types of capital in the empire went deep into it and loaned it to the shogunate and the vassals. If the partner won, he would naturally make a fortune. If he lost, he would lose his pants. The win or loss was largely mediated by the empire.

When the shogunate has the advantage, the empire will increase military aid and arms supply to the southwestern vassals. When the southwestern vassals alliance is too strong, the empire will provoke their alliance relations and even increase troops to Ryukyu and even Kyushu Island. In order to restrict Japan, it will maintain its division and balance its domestic factions. Therefore, in addition to being friendly with the Japanese emperor, the empire never chooses sides between the shogunate and the vassals. In order not to do a loss-making business, domestic financial consortiums want to force the empire to express their opinions, which is also in a mess.

However, in Japan, no matter how the various consortiums act, they will not change the overall situation of the empire balancing Japan. However, it is different in some places. Since Annan bowed to the empire and became a foreign vassal, and normalized relations with the empire, it has been trying to unify the entire Vietnam. Of course, this cannot be accepted by the empire. However, Annan borrowed loans everywhere in Port City, Guangzhou and Haikou, expanding the army, breaking the regional military balance. Although the empire was discovered late, it sent fleets and marines to the traditional friendly country Guangnan, and instructed the Kowloon Company to support Guangnan, it was still a secret.

After the Annan Kingdom, which originally aimed to go south to Guangnan to unify the entire territory, simply went north directly and destroyed the Mo family regime that had been separating Gaoping for many years, causing the empire to suffer a loss.

Since then, the Empire has realized that there are loopholes in financial laws, but this loophole has not been filled. The reason is very simple. Although Annan's ambitions were strangled, Annan's strong troops have become a reality. Therefore, Guangnan and Laos immediately expanded their arms, triggering a chain reaction, and Siam and Myanmar also acted. Expanding arms requires money. Where does the money come from, it is not just borrowing money from the Empire.

At this time, whoever was willing to use the implementation of the bill to influence merchants' plans to make money, even the emperor was willing to use this spring breeze to control the major countries on the Indochina Peninsula. As a result, the repair of the financial bill would be incomplete. In the end, it was an old trick of bureaucracy to establish a new institution to solve new problems. Therefore, the Financial Review Office, which belongs to the Imperial Bank, was born, and merchants and bureaucrats were all happy.

However, this review department reports review rather than supervise the review. It only reviews the loan plan that is mainly reported without actively supervising it. It is obviously a decoration.

The one who opposes the existing financial bill and supports the amendment is the overseas colonial parties, both overseas provinces and colonial companies. Because some consortiums with interest have begun to affect the local order and the expansion of colonies, the Penang Bank once loaned to the Tamil Kingdom on Ceylon, which greatly deteriorated the local security environment. Local officials who set up the empire in Muscat also reported that the consortium that settled in the local area actually borrowed and provided firearms to the original Muscat Sultan. Obviously, as long as the profit is enough, merchants can sell ropes to hang themselves.

But this is still what happened on the empire land. In the colonies, everything was even more chaotic. African development companies had assassinated some empire merchants because they provided loans and arms to the company's enemies.

In any case, everything that happened was nothing but irrelevant, but now it is different. If the Jinshang Bank lends this ten million to the Ottoman Empire, the original policy will be directly destroyed. What changes ten million is not only the regional situation, but also the imperial diplomatic policy.

Li Junwei knew this, and Jin Shang Bank also knew this. They chose to walk on two legs, and one leg was Xu Bangyan. They originally wanted to lobby for King Yu, while the second leg was lobbying the Senate to revise the Financial Act. The purpose of the two methods was only one, that is, to get the imperial court to agree to the transaction.

After thinking about it, Li Junwei said to Xu Bangyan: "You must not talk about this matter, but you can't say after seeing the emperor's brother, this is very unruly. In this way, when the emperor comes back from worshiping the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, I will tell you first, so that the emperor's brother will also be prepared. If you have an idea in your heart, it will not be too late to see you again."

"With Your Highness helping the people to connect with each other, there is nothing to worry about. Everything depends on your Highness's arrangement." Xu Bangyan said with a smile, and then said: "Your Highness, our Shanxi merchants have always supported the major policies of the empire, but they were not able to do so a few years ago. It was not until Your Highness's expedition to the west and expand its territory that they had the opportunity to make a name for themselves. Therefore, all the Shanxi merchants were grateful to Your Highness, so Shanxi merchants prepared half-finished shares to honor Your Highness."

When Li Junwei saw him take out the equity documents, he glanced at him and shook his head slightly: "I am a greedy person, but that was my youth. As a prince, I am carefree and don't love politics. I always have to find some hobbies. But over the years, whether it is the Supreme Emperor or the Emperor, I have given too many rewards, and I have no place to spend. No matter how much money I have, in my eyes, is just a number and meaningless.

I know what you think and think there are people in the court who are easy to do, but you also know that I have no errands in Shenjing and can't help you a lot."

"No, this is just a thank you for your highness for your support over the years." Xu Bangyan said with a smile.

Li Junwei shook his head, knowing that this was just a remark, but he didn't expose it and asked directly: "What day is today?"

"The seventh day of the seventh month." Xu Bangyan said.

Li Junwei nodded: "Good days." As he said that, he took out the pen he carried with him, first drew a check mark on the equity book, then directly applied the middle finger of his left hand with ink, and printed a not-so-clear black paper seal on it. Xu Bangyan looked around, thinking that this was not in line with the rules of the Imperial Contract Law, but he didn't dare to speak, and thought that King Yu was trying to avoid suspicion, but King Yu picked up the equity book and handed it to Xu Bangyan, and said, "You send a decent person to Shenjing and hand it to Princess Jing'an, and let her spend money to buy your stock. If I have the mark, she will definitely agree. The princess will pay as much as she gives. I don't have enough money, I will make up for it. I will calculate a dowry in the future."

"This..." Although this stock was not for free, Xu Bangyan still felt that giving it to Li Junwei himself for free was more beneficial to Jinshang Bank.

"If you do this, I will arrange for Royal Bank to cross-hold shares with your Jinshang Bank. Don't you have to rely on me? I can't hold on my old friend, so I'd better rely on my brother. He is a pillar of the universe and can't fall back on him." Li Junwei smiled.

When Xu Bangyan heard this, he felt that the grace was so great. Today's major banks in the Empire regard cross-holdings with Royal Bank as a sign that they can become evergreens. If Jinshang Bank can embark on this path, it will be a place to enter the house.

Two days later, Li Junwei boarded the imperial chariot. He rubbed his eyes with a sleepy look and muttered, "Didn't it mean that the emperor's brother sacrificed the tomb of the Yellow Emperor? Why did I have to go? Let me wait for you to come back in Guanzhong?"

"The national affairs are only sacrifices and Rong. If you are in Shenjing, how can you not go in person? It's a joke. This is a sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, a national ceremony. If I don't come in the future, you will come for me. You'd better follow me." Li Junhua beat Li Junwei who wanted to say he was sick.

Li Junwei yawned, looking like he couldn't lift his energy. Li Junhua shook his head, knowing that he could drag his younger brother, but he couldn't make him interested in sacrificial matters, so he simply said: "You follow me, it's time to kowtow. I have already ordered the ritual officer. At that time, he will whisper to what you did, just hold your ears up, and don't make a fool of yourself."

"Yeah, yeah." Li Junwei responded.

Li Junhua said: "I asked the people in the Zhongting about the Shanxi Bank that you mentioned yesterday, but there was no news. It seems that the Shanxi merchants were strictly covered. What do you think about this?"

"Your brother can just make an idea, why are you asking me again?" Li Junwei complained.

"If you don't ask who you are, I have only been to far-far borders. Chen Ping and Chen Ping have not participated in the negotiations with the Ottoman. He doesn't even know the full name of the Ottoman Sultan." Li Junhua said lightly. Seeing Li Junwei sitting upright, he showed some spirits and said, "Do you think this matter is true or false? Why do I think something is wrong? They defeated us three years ago and threw away the northern coast of the Black Sea. Why do you have to borrow another 10 million taels? This is a big war, which is not supposed to be."

Li Junwei said: "Brother, the Sultan is different from your emperor. Although they are both emperors, they are essentially different. Our empire wars either protect existing interests or expand territory. But the Sultan is like many emperors in history. Many times, they rely on wars to maintain rule. Especially for the Sultan, it is much better to defeat wars than not to fight."

Although he has been away from the far-dragon region for two or three years, Li Junwei still has the understanding of the Ottoman Empire. During the Four Kingdoms War, the Ottoman lost his dominance over the Black Sea and the important vassal of the Crimean Khanate. He did not experience much loss. Instead, due to failure, the internal struggles were slowed down. As a traditional political family, Fazo was driven to Egypt to be Pasha, and Mustafa was still the Great Vizier of the Ottomans.

However, the Sultan came out of the harem. Although he drove away Fazo, he appointed Fazo's brother Ahmed as Vizier, which triggered a reform within the Ottomans. The purpose of this reform was to strengthen the army, so it inevitably affected the interests of the Imperial Guards. Therefore, after the initial results, in order to stabilize their domestic rule, the Sultan had to transfer the contradictions abroad and launch a war. The war was in line with the interests of the Imperial Guards. Similarly, in the war, the Imperial Guards could also be integrated, but this time it was different from the previous wars. In the past wars, the Sultan could accept failure, but this time, victory must be achieved.

Therefore, in order to make the war more confident, Sudan could only borrow money to strengthen his arms, and internal borrowing would shake the results of the reform. After Jinshang Bank had successful experience in Russia, Sudan was surprised to find that it was not only not harmful to let imperial merchants master some of the tax system, but also beneficial, especially customs. Therefore, Sudan made up his mind to approach Jinshang Bank.

"What do you mean is that this matter is true, and the loan from Shanxi merchants to Ottoman is also in the interests of the empire?" Li Junhua asked directly.

"At least it seems like this at the moment, but there is no way that a merchant can decide on his own whether to borrow a loan, how much to borrow, how long to give, what to give, or what to give, or what to find someone to control the empire. Our goal is to be a balancer to balance the strength between the Ottomans and other Europa countries, just how about it." Li Junwei answered seriously.

"Then do you think it's better to let Ottoman win or lose?" Li Junhua asked.

Li Junwei laughed: "This is not something that can be said now. We don't know who the enemy selected by Sudan is, and how to talk about winning or losing. If the enemy is too weak, it is better to let the Ottoman win. Anyway, if you win, it will only enhance the strength of this country. Instead, it will give us the opportunity to intervene in the customs of the Mesopotamia and Egypt. If the enemy of Sudan is very strong, it is better to let Sudan lose. The more you lose, the more they need us and the more benefits they will pay."

Li Junhua had clear eyes and looked at Li Junwei seriously. Li Junwei was surprised: "Is what I said wrong?"

Li Junhua shook his head slightly and said nothing. However, he had already decided that this matter would be best done by his younger brother, but she would not say it now, because Li Junhua knew that Li Junwei would definitely not want to go.

Li Junwei said: "How to make Shanxi merchants agree to everything with the baton of the empire? Brother, we have never done business before, so we don't know the depth. However, I have seen it in the distance that asking for money but not life is the nature of merchants. If the interests are ahead, that is a group of madmen. How to restrain their use is difficult."

"One method, two name, and then again, it is to use violence. It is not easy to deal with a few businessmen." Li Junhua didn't take it seriously. He obviously had a plan in his heart and asked Li Junwei: "If you want to find someone who is appropriate in Shanxi businessmen, what about Xu Bangyan?"
