3923 Crying in Baoyuan Bureau

Baoyuan Bureau, a small yamen in the capital that is not very famous but closely related to everyone. The business managed here is actually very high-end, which is to mint money!

There were two mints in the Qing Dynasty, one was Baoyuan Bureau and the other was Baoquan Bureau. All silver furnaces that minted copper coins and silver ingots in the world were managed by these two yamen!

They are jointly managed by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry and have always controlled the annual money supply of the Qing Dynasty!

This was originally a golden rice bowl that was worth ten thousand years, but life has been difficult in the past few years!

After the Qing Dynasty was forced to open a port, a large amount of overseas silver dollars flowed in. In addition, Xiao Letian also cast Yingyang privately, but later he simply stopped casting it and directly issued the Chinese dragon pattern silver dollars!

This kind of silver coins minted or stamped out are simply hard currency in the market, and the people are too accepting. This can directly impact the silver business of the Qing Dynasty Mint.

The silver business has dropped sharply, so they had to cast a lot of copper coins. However, they did not expect that after a few days of coin casting, the coin ticket appeared again. The printing of paper currency can save much more than the economy of casting copper coins. Now even the task of making copper coins is much less.

Baoyuan Bureau, which has a poor business operation, closed three copper furnaces last year alone, and it was almost impossible to unload the pot!

Manren also knew what the general trend was irreversible. In the end, the management rights of Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau were temporarily granted to Yang Zhi, the traitor!

Yang Zhi controlled the printing of the Manchu and Peking Piao, and now he controlled two major mints. His power almost caught up with the governor of the later Central Bank!

I don’t know what happened today, but Yang Zhi actually spent the night in the city. This guy, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, rarely rested in one place for more than three days because he was afraid of being assassinated!

Sometimes I am in a village outside the city, sometimes I hide in the courtyards in the inner city or the south city, and sometimes I even live directly in the office yamen!

Why did he live in Baoyuan Bureau, which is closest to the conflict today? It is unknown what is the original one!

No matter why he lived here, the battle never escaped his eyes from beginning to end. He kept paying close attention to everything in front of him, and his subordinates also sent messages to him.

From the attack of the poisonous smoke bomb, he knew that the head of state had taken action. At the beginning, he really wanted to escape, and he was afraid that he would become the target of Ye Qiu and the others.

But curiosity killed the cat. He had been away from the Chinese clan for too long. He really wanted to know what the Chinese clan had become now!

Looking at the martial arts experts hired by more than 100 high salaries, he had a little confidence in his heart... These people should have no problem protecting themselves!

But as soon as the battle started, Yang Zhi's mouth was so shocked that he never closed. He lay on the roof like a huge gecko, and was not afraid of Xia Ye's tide. From the start of the war to the end of retreat to Maojiawan, he had been watching the battle secretly!

He has never learned the tactics of Ye Qiu and the others, which means that the special operations have been upgraded since his defection!

He had never heard of many equipment, especially the poisonous smoke cartridges! Including the reappearance of *** also shocked him!

He was filled with emotions. In fact, he had all this. If he had not defected, he might have become such an elite general at this moment, right?

But there is no such thing in life. Since you have made a choice, you have to choose to bear it!

But in the end, when the dragon sang and Ye Qiu's former comrades raised the flag of blood in their hearts, Yang Zhi could no longer control his emotions.

He lay on the tiles and choked, tears gushing like a spring, "Why... I hate so much... Woooo... I originally had my glory!"

"Originally, the great cause of the Chinese people should have my glory... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

"I hate so much! Why is my life so miserable if I hate it..."

Human hearts are so greedy. Yang Zhi is a greedy person. On the one hand, he wants the benefits of a semi-slave aristocratic system like the Qing Dynasty... Because enslaving others is the long-standing evil in human hearts, and it is also the original desire of human beings!

Who doesn’t want to be a nobleman and enjoy the sweet taste of being served by slaves?

But he got these things, but he felt empty in his heart. He remembered the glorious years of fighting bloody battles under the head of state!

Yes! At that time, there were no slaves to use, and no three wives and four concubines to be happy. Even if you can eat, you can’t serve 66 dishes in one meal. Everyone eats big pot meals together!

A large pot of tofu, cabbage, vermicelli, pork belly stewed, and a canned iron box for each person. After eating, it was a mess. Even if you were having a meal, it was all the same as the farm’s local brew!

Such a life is very poor, but it is extremely fulfilling, and the soul is satisfied, because everyone knows that I am doing a great cause, and my inner sense of glory is overflowing!

And all this has never happened since I came to Sijiu City!

Today, he saw his appearance again, and heard military songs again. He cried like a child, and he was distorted and stubborn in his heart, and he was always unable to understand!

Why can’t I enjoy both blessings? Why don’t I enjoy them all?

Lying on the tiles, he didn't dare to cry loudly. He was afraid that the guards in the yard below would find his weakness, and he could not guarantee the loyalty of these people. It was very likely that there were many spies from various Qing factions mixed in this place!

He could only bury his face on the tiles and let the tears flow down as rain!

"Wuwuwu... I went up the mountain and was a tiger... I went down the sea and came back to the sea and was a dragon...Wuwu... I am dignified in the world..."

The song can no longer be sung, so he has no face to say what kind of hero he is!

Why do people become perverted? They are dissatisfied with desires and cannot reflect on their own mistakes. Such people will always shift the responsibility to others!

"Why am I crying? Bah... Why am I crying? Xiao Letian is sorry for me, he is the one who misleads me!"

"This damn bastard, why didn't I declare the sixth title and eighteenth order before I defected? If you had announced it long ago, why would I defect?"

"If you had given me a duke and marquis, why would I come to the Qing Dynasty to kowtow to them?"

"You forced me to be a good person! Xiao Letian, you forced me to be a good person..."

The expression of regret gradually disappeared. The cold Yang Zhi looked up at the subordinates waiting in the yard, "Listen to my order... These Xishan Camp and the Nine Gate Admiral Palace are all waste!"

"Master, I will reward you with great credit, and maybe you can win a wife and a son!"

"Lighten the torch! Bring enough kerosene... ride on a fast horse and fight for me!"

"Let's set fire! Burn all these traitors to death, burn them all to death in the warehouse!"

"Are there a bunch of waste outside? I can't even think of such a simple plan? Do you still want to catch a living person? They know nothing. Xiao Letian is proficient in brainwashing. All he brings out is loyal and it is impossible for him to surrender!"

"Don't hold on to the fantasy, set the fire!"

"Yeah!" Dozens of guards in the yard collectively knelt down and beat thousands of people, all of whom were full of silky flesh and blood!

With a bang, the gate of the Baoyuan Bureau's yamen opened, and war horses rushed out from it, and the alley was covered with shiny light when the torch commanded it!
