    In the sedan chair, Maung Ji stared into the other person's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Honestly, why did you take such a big risk to protect the Lieutenant's Mansion?" "It's okay to tell you! I'm not here this time.  For other reasons, just to kill Chen Zaixing!" Maang Ji frowned and asked, "Chen Zaixing? Why did you kill him? He has long since resigned from the post of Emperor Dashun and is just a businessman.  "Hmph, if he doesn't become an official, he will do more harm than good! Think about it, after he marries Her Majesty, the eldest princess, he will be able to legitimately control the power of the Kingdom of Myanmar. I heard that he will also build a road leading from Mandalay to Datong.  If we follow the path of Shun, I'm afraid that the whole of Myanmar will be annexed by Shun in a few years." Maung Ji sighed when he heard this: "Although what you said makes some sense, Chen Zaixing has been living in seclusion these days, protecting the Burmese captain's mansion!  The security is tight. What can you do alone? Even if you are asked to kill Chen Zaixing, what will happen? Now that the war in the country has just subsided and the people have just lived in peace for two days, the farmers you originally wanted have obtained  Land and freedom are gradually coming. What good will come of your making such a fuss? You should leave the city early, find a remote place, marry a wife, and live a good life for two days!" Song Shen listened and was silent for a long time.  He whispered, "At that time, tens of thousands of people died because of me, but I was living well, marrying a wife, and living a good life? Do you think my conscience will not be guilty?" "Words  You can¡¯t say that. I didn¡¯t let you out before, so I didn¡¯t let you die like this!¡± ¡°Then why did you do that?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t change the fate of Myanmar. You have not finished the road, but the assassination  Chen Zaixing can't change anything!" Song Shen was convinced by Maung Ji. He lowered his head and asked, "Wu Maung Ji, what do you think I should do?" "I don't know, at least I don't know yet.  I have now achieved part of your previous goal. About 15% of the farmers in Central Myanmar have received their own land and freedom. In the next three years, the remaining 85% will  The farmers will also get land and freedom, and then go to Burma! I think you should sit down and observe Chen Zaixing carefully to see what he does. This is also very useful for Burma. Don¡¯t die easily. There are many things that only a living person can do.  "You're right!" Song Shen nodded: "It's not the time for me to die!" "Okay!"  The bearer outside shouted twice, and the soft sedan changed direction.  He said seriously: "Wu Songcan, let me try this road first. If I can't make it, turn everything over and try your own way!"  Chen Zaixing from Cindy and Simba was facing two thick stacks of documents and accounts, his forehead already wrinkled into a "mountain shape". Sitting facing him was Liu Qingyang, who had been in Mandalay for two months.  "Hey, Brother Liu, I really can't stand it anymore! Why do I think this thing of yours is much more difficult than when I took the Jinshi exam?" Chen Zaixing finally gave up on trying to figure out the relationship between Jiangnan Bank Group and the Jiangnan Bank Group by reading the two stacks of documents four to five feet high.  The Royal Government of Myanmar Loan Details Efforts.  "Haha, there is a specialization in the arts! I am not as good as you in terms of policy papers, but compared to these monetary things, haha!" Liu Qingyang smiled and poured a cup of tea for Chen Zaixing, but did not say, "You are not as good as me."  exit.  "What are you laughing at?" Chen Zaixing snorted coldly and picked up the tea cup: "If I hadn't left Kong Zhang in Kunming to build a steel plant, you wouldn't be so proud!" "You can't say that! Kong Zhang  Although my family also runs a bank, it is still a little different from us. In terms of legal documents, our Jiangnan Bank is more formal." At this point, Liu Qingyang took out a book from the document, flipped through a few pages, and pointed to the line above.  Said: "Fusheng, what do you think this paragraph means?" Chen Zaixing took the document and read it according to the other person's finger: "The Jiangnan Five Bank Group paid 8.5 million taels of customs silver to the Kingdom of Myanmar. This payment is  The total number of loans recorded on June 22, 1886 AD (Appendix 12) (A) The 8,500,000 taels are customs silver, which can be easily converted into gold at the market price.  The price of money in various countries is as shown on the left: one tael of customs silver, which is three marks and five hundred and fifty-five in Germany, three and five ninety-five in Austria, three and seven hundred and forty-two in the United States, and three and five francs in France.  , which is three shillings in England, one Fleur 0,796 in Holland, and one ruble 412 in Russia. The Russian ruble, with an annual interest rate of four cents, was originally divided into thirty-nine years by the Kingdom of Burma, as shown in the following table.  Each chapter shall be paid off (Appendix 13). The principal and interest shall be paid in cash, or in cash based on the market price on the due date." "How?" Chen Zaixing frowned and replied, "It seems that these compensations are paid in cash.  It¡¯s priced in gold, so what?¡±"Resurrection, you don't understand the mystery!" Liu Qingyang smiled: "You also know that the most common currency in the international market today is the pound. There is no other reason. The British currency is linked to gold. No matter who,  You can exchange pounds for corresponding gold at the Bank of England, but my country in Dashun uses silver as currency. Now that many silver mines have been discovered in the world, silver will inevitably depreciate relative to gold in the next few decades. I will lend him silver now.  , but in the future it will be stipulated that the money will be repaid according to the value of the gold. This alone will make the profit far better than the mere 4% annual interest!" At this point, Liu Qingyang could not help but laugh proudly.  "Chasing the bad guys!" Chen Zaixing snorted coldly, but he had to admit in his heart that he absolutely did not understand the many traps in these terms.  Liu Qingyang laughed twice and continued: "It would be best if the Kingdom of Myanmar pays off its debts, then we can use the various taxes, land, rights, and minerals they have used as mortgage. That will be a hugely profitable deal!"  Chen Zaixing did not speak. In this matter, he and Liu Qingyang were originally wearing the same pants. He helped the Jiangnan Bank Group behind him to build bridges and pave the way to enter Myanmar, while the Jiangnan Bank Group spent large sums of money to support  The realization of grand ideals is a matter of mutual benefit.  As for the Kingdom of Myanmar that suffered among them, even without Chen Zaixing and the Jiangnan Banking Group, this kingdom would have already become the possession of the British, and the end would be even more tragic.  Chen Zaixing and Liu Qingyang discussed for a while. Liu Qingyang was not interested in building the Kunming Iron and Steel Plant. This kind of heavy industrial project with large investment, slow recovery of costs and uncertain profit prospects was not what Jiangnan Banking Group was interested in. However, he was interested in the construction of Kunming Iron and Steel Plant.  The planned Yunnan-Myanmar Railway project is quite interesting. After all, judging from the several railways that have been built in Dashun, the profits and various potential benefits on paper are very considerable, not to mention that it can also be obtained through various other means.  The private sector obtains capital and makes profits from it.  After some bargaining, Chen Zaixing and the Jiangnan Banking Group represented by Liu Qingyang reached a preliminary agreement: Chen Zaixing would completely transfer the fundraising matters of the Yunnan-Burma Railway to the Jiangnan Banking Group, and the Jiangnan Banking Group must complete the transaction within two years starting in 1889.  Within the period, that is, before December 1891, no less than 6.5 million taels of silver were raised for the Yunnan-Burma Railway. In exchange, the Jiangnan Banking Group would obtain 60% of the equity of the Yunnan-Burma Railway.  At the same time, it has been initially determined that the rails of the Yunnan-Burma Railway will be mainly purchased from Kunming Iron and Steel Plant, and the insufficient parts will be purchased from other parts.  In this way, the historically famous Shunhua-Hude Group was born in this humble room in the backyard of the Hu Burian School Lieutenant's Mansion. In the decades of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this  The group has influenced, and can even be said to have controlled, the lives of hundreds of millions of people throughout Dashun and surrounding areas. It is like the Bible.  The terrifying beast described in the Book of Job is like a beast in the sea, ferocious and terrifying. Such a monster has never appeared in Dashun's thousands of years of history.  Japan, Tokyo, Luming Hall.  Duncan got down from the carriage with some difficulty. His figure seemed a bit too burly compared to the narrow carriage.  He looked around cautiously, then turned around and lightly knocked on the compartment wall twice, and then Gillins stuck his head out of the compartment.  I saw that he had returned to his old British gentleman attire. Except for some red cheeks, his recent trip to China did not leave any traces on his body.  Gillings jumped out of the carriage, held his hat that was knocked crooked, and smiled at the white man who jumped out behind him, "Colonel, don't you think old Duncan is making a fuss out of a molehill? Probably in his opinion, there is one on every street corner here."  Chinese spy!" The white man whom Gillings called "Colonel" had a serious face. He frowned slightly: "Mr. Gillings, I have been to this city many times as a naval officer.  , As far as I know, there are many Chinese businessmen and expats here. Who knows if there are any guys with special missions here. In view of the sensitive mission we have undertaken this time, I think it is better to be careful! "Also, white people!  The man straightened his back: "You'd better stop calling me by my military rank and call me Alexander!" "Okay, Alexander! It seems that what happened in Myanmar not long ago gave you a lot of stimulation. Indeed, because  With huge human resources, the Chinese have certain advantages in the army, but the navy is different. It not only needs a huge amount of money and excellent technology, but also a group of well-trained officers and officers with rich experience and bravery.  Sailors! In this regard, the Chinese can never compare with Great Britain! "That's natural, we Britons are fish!" Alexander puffed up his chest proudly, but then he whispered: "But China is still a fish.  It should not be underestimated. Although their navy is not worth mentioning now, their resources are too rich, and the long coastline cannot be blocked at all. The cruisers of the Far East Fleet will have to face armored battleship-level opponents in the future. If possible,  In the Far East or?Need a helper.  "
