How much is 30 million taels of silver?

Actually not much!

That is, one-third of the Qing Dynasty's treasury income!

You should know that during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty urgently borrowed four loans from HSBC Bank, with a total amount of only 40 million taels!

As for what we said all day in Wanqing's history, Xier, who paid the accounts, how much is the tariffs for the Qing Dynasty? It is now 1888, and it is about 20 million silver!

To put it more specifically, when the Beiyang Navy was first formed, the Qing Dynasty allocated only four million taels of silver for construction by the Navy!

Later, in 1888, after the Beiyang Navy formed its army, the rated military expenditure was only 1.7 million taels. Well, this one was misappropriated all day long!

There is also the construction of the entire Lushun Fortress, and so many fortress cannons, known as the number one fortress in Asia, how much did it cost? Well, it was only more than two million taels of silver!

Even the final transaction price of the fortress shore defense artillery negotiated by Mande and Li Hongzhang is only 5.5 million marks, but the price of a Dingyuan ship, because a Dingyuan ship is 6.2 million marks, which is about 370,000 pounds, or 1.4 million taels of silver!

So, the big business of 30 million taels of silver is indeed not something he can do with Mande, and it is not a fault for letting the Minister to China Baland come!

But, let alone you, Li Hongzhang's son-in-law, even Li Hongzhang can't get 30 million taels of silver!

"Your Excellency really has 30 million taels of silver?" Mande said with some doubts.

Of course, depending on his relationship with Baland, it would be nothing to ask Baland to come, but the problem is that the word 30 million taels made him excited!

Finally it’s my turn to develop!

I knew this oriental rich and full of gold!

Think about Marco Polo back then, he is simply the contemporary Marco Polo!

With this order of 30 million taels of silver, what can I do?

Zhu Ming smiled faintly and said slowly, "When Minister Baland comes, I will show him the fact that I have 30 million taels of silver!"

Mande sent Zhu Ming out respectfully.

Zhu Ming was also very satisfied with the other party's attitude and played with the Colt m1851 revolver given to him by the other party. You should know that guns, especially pistols, are inexplicably attractive to a man, and Zhu Ming is no exception!

While walking, Zhu Ming was also feeling uncomfortable with two guards from the Governor's Mansion, carrying guns on their backs. They seemed to be protecting, but in fact they were surveillance.

With a gun, how could I resist trying to shoot twice?

But there was nothing we could do with these two people behind him!

As long as it is kept in his own pocket, fortunately he is wearing Western clothes specially prepared for him by Li Juou. With his short hair, he really looks like a fake foreigner, and no one dares to mess with him!

As he walked, Zhu Ming stood up, looked at the restaurant beside him, turned around, and said with some unquestionable words, "Let's go and have some drinks?"

Have some drinks?

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts!

They could hear what the person above said, let alone Zhu Ming!

Zhang Peilun has been in the Governor's Mansion for a long time, so they have naturally heard the sound, especially the words they said, and they feel uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Peilun said that Li Hongzhang was what he said, and he was qualified, but what about himself?

"Not good?"

One of them, who was a little bold and tentatively persuaded him!

Zhu Ming smiled slightly and said lightly, "There is nothing wrong, just listen to people's livelihood..."

Haha, with a gun and a rival in love, what should I do?

Of course it was a gun test!

A good gun, you have to be shot!

Love rival must die!
