Chapter 175 Assassination

Fengsheng's forehead is dead.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Manchu Qing tycoon who disliked Heshen, was hereditary Gongfeng and promoted his throne and died!

Feng Yinglian picked up a big advantage and immediately took office. At the same time, he also served as the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the president of the Siku Quanshu Library. He was co-organized by the Grand Secretary and was also in charge of the Ministry of Justice!

It is a great power.

Heshen also transferred from the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to the Left Assistant Minister, and also appointed the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the commander of the infantry, which is the admiral of the Nine Gates. He immediately asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to write and write a letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the Ministry of Personnel, he took the exam every three years and was promoted and demoted according to the advantages and disadvantages. He was given to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss the procedures.

As soon as this proposal was made, Heshen, the chief executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, immediately became famous for his influence in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

So, are you going to make money again at the starting point of Lingnan?

Zhao Liang smiled so happily.

Since he took the money to Guangzhou Prefecture starting last year, he was surrounded by Heshen's influence and Chen Biao's old friends were taken care of in the local area, so he soon gained a firm foothold in Guangzhou Prefecture.

After all, Qidian holds a real silver in his hand.

Not all foreign businesses in Guangzhou’s Thirteen Trading Company are Pan’s family. The Wu family is so prosperous and prosperous, and some are short of money.

But the risk of sea trade is extremely high, and very few families are willing to lend them money.

Even the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has a great family and a great career, is unwilling to lend them money.

People are more willing to lend money to salt merchants than to throw money into Guangzhou.

(The Qing court had a system of foreign loans, and the loans were loaned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, called "treasury" and the interest collected was called "treasury")

Therefore, when the cash flow of foreign companies is tight, the owner can only seek help from other loan sources.

Of course, there are internal lending between the Thirteen Banks, but this also led to the concentration of wealth. Rich foreign banks became richer and richer by lending money, while poor foreign banks became poorer and poorer due to borrowing money. Due to lack of credit, some newly established foreign banks and poorly managed foreign banks were unwilling to lend to them. These foreign banks had no access to internal borrowing, so there was only one way left: loans to foreign merchants.

The East India Company in the UK is one of them, with an annual interest rate of 6% to 12%, which is not high and is considered a normal commercial loan.

However, the procedures for borrowing money from John Bulls will be more troublesome and the process is complicated. Moreover, the senior teams of East India Company in Guangzhou do not always have spare money to borrow. Sometimes they have to write IOUs to Chinese merchants.

As a result, Bass merchants from India filled this gap. They usually did not need complicated guarantees and other commercial loan procedures to release large loans quickly. But in the same way, their interest rates would be very high. The annual interest rates were generally higher than 12%, sometimes reaching 20% ​​to 40%, and the profits were extremely shocking.

As for why East India Company and Bass merchants dared to borrow money from foreign banks frequently, it was purely because of the system stipulated by the Qing Dynasty (already explained before). Even if the foreign banks ruined their own business, other foreign banks would repay them.

The usual method of Bath merchants is to sign a loan contract and make clear the loan, and then leave Guangzhou by boat. A few years later, he suddenly appeared and asked the foreign merchants of Thirteen Banks for interest that was several times the principal, thus forcing these foreign merchants into the abyss of bankruptcy. However, Thirteen Banks could only bite their front teeth and swallow them.

So Zhao Liang's prediction was still wrong before. Although Thirteen Banks have just monopolized the maritime trade for 20 years, some foreign companies have gone bankrupt due to poor management, and they are not one. As for foreign companies that owe high loans outside, it is quite common. However, some foreign companies have strong capital and can be fully repaid, while others are already on the edge of the abyss.

Qidian came to Guangzhou with more than 100,000 taels of silver, and easily found out the details of some foreign companies, and then came to the door to seek cooperation with the silver. Not to mention that he had a big backer behind him, he could easily get involved in it!

People who suffer once will always gain a memory.

After experiencing a crisis of falling into the abyss, the foreign company will naturally become cautious and conservative when operating. To a certain extent, this really delays the Zhao family making money!

But Zhao Liang did not urge Qidian. Qidian's current task is to learn and observe, and he would not urge the boss of a foreign company.

It’s just that Zhao Liang is not in a hurry to make money, but the people from the Thirteenth League will not be blind and cannot see Qidian. They will take the initiative to send the money to Qidian.

There is no need for heavy bleeding. You can make a deal, I will make a deal. It has been less than a year since the Zhao family entered Guangzhou, and the principal of 120,000 taels of silver has been returned.

Although this situation cannot last for a long time, as long as Heshen stands in the capital, it can be seen that the Zhao family cannot pay the money.

Now that Heshen's power has gone further, the opportunity for the Zhao family to make a fortune has come again.

How can those foreign company bosses who have just stopped sending another wave to express their respect for adults?

"Are you in a good mood?" Wu Sanniang looked at Zhao Liang and said. There was joy that could not be hidden at the end of this person's eyebrows.

"It's okay!" Zhao Liang's big white teeth were exposed very brightly when he answered.

He was about to make money, so he was naturally happy.

Somewhere in Tai'an Prefecture, just met, Zhao Liang called Wu Sanniang very unhappy.

This guy is in such a good mood, it must be that the Emperor Han has had some great things. However, the Emperor Han is beautiful, what about their Qingshui Cult? Thinking about the experience of the Qingshui Cult during this period, and thinking about the instructions in Wang Lun's letter, her mood is really not beautiful.

——It’s still beautiful, and it’s almost overwhelming to the point where “hometown” is about to end.

So Wu Sanniang not only felt very bad, but she was not very happy when she saw Zhao Liang in a good mood.

"I can't blame you for this. Everything was chosen by you, Qingshui Cult." If you didn't take advantage of the great opportunity to disperse your backbone forces, and now the situation is tight, who can you blame?

However, after all, the Qingshui Cult has been in the Yimeng Mountains for three years, causing a lot of trouble for the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Liang planned to absorb the essence of the Qingshui Cult to nourish himself, so he could not ignore it because of his feelings and reason.

That's why he and Wang Lun reached that series of exchanges.

Is it true that I am interested? There is no slightest bit of force?

I came to Laiwu County to have a walk.

"I'll make it clear to you. Assassination of A Guinai is the last try. Whether it succeeds or not, the people who are ambushed in my family will be evacuated. If they are still alive, and whether you can seize the opportunity, it's up to you to yourself."

Although I have many transactions with Wang Lun and are very specific, the "assassination" and "breakout" mentioned now are just the initial part, but this is also a major premise?

This time he came to Laiwu to take Agui's life. Otherwise, why would the tens of thousands of Qing troops in the Yimeng Mountains be in chaos, and why would Wang Lun's army break through the siege?

Therefore, he would not show mercy to Agui's subordinates at all.

Judging from the current performance of the Yimeng battlefield, Agui was a top-ranking general in the Qing Dynasty. At least he was good at suppressing people with his power. With his military advantage, Wang Lun's army was unable to resist!

Moreover, killing him is not only very beneficial to the Qingshui Doctrine Army besieged by the Qing army. If Wang Lun takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack, he will definitely make a mistake in the Qing army's reaction and response, not to mention the military spirit of the soldiers below. If Wang Lun takes the opportunity to launch a counterattack, he will definitely make achievements and then reach an agreement with Zhao Liang.

——Burn your last power and bloom the last glory of the Qingshui Cult!

That was quite exciting.

It also hit the Qing Dynasty a heavy blow.

Before Fu Kangan grew up, Agui was the trump card under Qianlong, and he was the number one general in the Qing Dynasty!

Furthermore, after A Gui died, Heshen could also lead the Military Affairs Office one step earlier.

You should know that although Heshen is so favored by Qianlong, he is always weak in the court. The latter has always been ahead of Heshen in the Military Affairs Office. He has served as the chief grandson and the chief minister of the Military Affairs Office for a long time. He has been the chief minister for 20 years and is in charge of military affairs.

Heshen was in charge of finance. After Agui's death, Heshen became the chief grand secretary and the foreman of the Military Affairs Office in a short time.

Moreover, Agui is cautious and has much better moral integrity than Heshen. In a sense, this person is also a good official!
