To be precise, Suo Zhongtang and the others are not Jia Liu's people, but his clients.
Everything starts from the engineering project that Jia Liu started on a whim.
This project is called "Baolong", also known as "Baolong".
Project slogan - "I, Qianlong, make money!"
The person in charge is the dog-headed strategist Fan Wei.
The original intention was to launch a similar local debt project to solve the increasingly depleted wallets of the Gui family.
Later, it was packaged and turned into a national debt restoration project that could be invested.
The rate of return is astonishing, with an annual profit of 20%.
That is, as long as you invest one hundred taels, you will get twenty taels in return just by sitting at home and doing nothing for a year.
According to the contract, a few days before the famous boxer Fu Zhongtang fell into the gutter was the day when the project party paid the due interest.
But according to the meaning of the actual operator behind this project, Mr. Guijia - why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability?
This statement has a legal basis.
First of all, the project itself is illegal because the emperor himself did not abdicate, so the theory of restoration has no legal basis.
Even if the investors who participated in the investment complained to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it was of no use.
Secondly, this project was initiated by Mr. Guijia.
What is a ghost master?
The biggest mole in the Qing Dynasty.
So, the master of the Gui family is out of his mind and wants to pay the principal and interest to you, the lackeys of the fourth devil?
Finally, all customers who participate in investment have been told that investment is risky, that is, neither the project party can guarantee that the investment will make a profit without losing money.
Of course it’s good if you make a profit, but what if you lose?
Let everyone return to their own homes.
This point is clearly written at the bottom of the contract. In addition to the final interpretation right belonging to the project party, the first force majeure factor is that the emperor cannot be restored.
In fact, the staff in charge of sales in the Jingshi area truthfully explained to customers who came to ask for investment principal and interest in accordance with the text of the contract.
In short, in a word, it cannot be paid now.
This caused a major earthquake in the official and financial circles of the capital.
Many officials who were loyal to Qianlong invested half or even most of their net worth. If the investment was in vain, their life would be in vain.
The three military ministers Suolin, Yuan Shoudong, and Liang Guozhi were also major customers of the Baolong project. The three of them invested a total of 140,000 taels of silver and 2,300 taels of gold.
Now that it is due, the three principals cannot withdraw the money. Do you think they are in a hurry?
Complaints from all aspects were summarized to the project manager Fan Wei.
Fan Wei didn't pay any attention to the customers who were asking for money. In his opinion, he didn't arrest and behead all these people. Even if the ghost family has a conscience, he still dares to ask for money. Just go and live in your daydreams.
Bar.
When chatting with Mr. Shuanzhu, he told him about this incident as a matter of fun.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Shuan Zhu saw an opportunity from this matter.
An opportunity for the young master to stand out from the crowd and never have to succumb to others again!
This opportunity will also allow him, Shuan Zhu, and the Vatican Army Division to stand out and become important officials who can influence the government in the future.
What kind of opportunity?
That is to build the Baolong project, a sky-high real estate project.
Therefore, under the secret planning of Shuan Zhu and Fan Wei, a conspiracy for a coup was quietly brewing in the Gyeonggi Shang family.
This conspiracy was not even informed to the Capital Gathering Committee. It was completely a private action taken by Fan Wei and Shuan Zhu.
They began to secretly contact Solin, the minister of military aircraft, using pseudonyms and false identities respectively, of course.
In the end, driven by profit, the loyal Suo Zhongtang decided to take action and complete the last link of the Baolong project.
Then, the famous boxer Fu Zhongtang, who thought he could cover the sky with one hand, collapsed in the office of the Military Aircraft Department.
The emperor, who had been imprisoned for more than a year, once again visited his Qianqing Palace surrounded by hundreds of officials.
What happened next, even though Shuan Zhu didn't say anything, Jia Liu also understood.
He was angry and wanted to laugh, but he never expected that the coup plot that almost forced him to buy a plane ticket to fly to Myanmar would actually come from the pair of Wolong and Fengxia in front of him.
"How can you act on such a big matter without asking for permission? Do you know the serious consequences of this matter?"
Jia Liu was really angry. He couldn't accept Shuan Zhu and Fan Wei acting behind his back.
As if he had expected that the young master would get angry, Shuan Zhu immediately bowed at 90 degrees: "This incident was just an accident and a coincidence. It was not intentional on our part. Please forgive me!"
The dog-headed military advisor on the side followed suit when he saw this, and said sincerely: "No matter what, Qianlong must step down, you should be clear about this!"
After that, the two of them said in unison: "If there are any irreversible consequences due to this matter, the two of us are willing to bear all responsibilities! But there is one thing we hope you can understand, that is, you must unswervingly follow the established path. , you can’t look back, and you can’t stop, because you are the only hope of the Qing Dynasty!"
"."
Jia Liu felt a little confused in time and space.
This is a typical case of going down and over.
Could it be that the ghost of the Eight Banners martial arts spirit is still floating over the Qing Dynasty?
After a long while, he sighed softly and walked to the window.
"Now that things have happened, we don't have to dwell on the past. Let's think seriously about the future."
After saying that, he casually drew a peach blossom on the window paper.
Hearing this, Shuan Zhu and Fan Wei straightened up at the same time, looking at each other with expressions of victory and joy.
"Um, excuse me!"
Deputy Director Ji, who had been watching dreamily from the side, took two steps forward and asked weakly: "Long live, for the sake of my loyalty, can you return my investment in full? If you really have difficulties, at least you can I want to give 80% back to you."
"this,"
Jia Liu asked Lao Ji to negotiate with Mr. Fan who was in charge of the project, because the bodyguard office came to report that the Shaanxi-Gansu and Shanxi delegations had arrived.
The leader of the Shaanxi-Gansu delegation is Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi, and the deputy leader is Ma Dayi, the chief envoy of Gansu;
The leader of the Shanxi delegation was the Manchurian Surde, Shanxi's chief envoy, and the deputy leader was Shanxi deputy general Qian Anzhi.
Although these three provinces are not as wealthy as Liangjiang and Three Provinces, they are relatively close to the capital and have decent military strength.
Especially in Shaanxi and Gansu, there are several full cities that can dispatch Eight Banners troops with no less than 10,000 people.
Although the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp has been told to win by itself, the overall strength of Shaanxi-Gansu cannot be underestimated.
Therefore, of course Jia Liu had to meet these two delegations in person.
At the same time, I also want to know what Governor Leerjin of Shaanxi and Gansu is planning, and why he doesn't come in person and only lets Bi Yuan represent him.
Unexpectedly, after a brief polite exchange, Shanxi Governor Surder suddenly walked out of the delegation and then presented a formal text of the treaty.
"If Prince Rui wants to gain the unanimous support of the military and civilians of our three provinces, please sign this treaty!"
As soon as Surder finished speaking, Shaanxi Governor Bi Yuan added: "Prince Rui please give us a reply as soon as possible. If the treaty cannot be signed successfully, then our three provinces will contact Prince An instead!"
