"Lease? That's what he really said?"
"Yes, the emperor, what he said is probably the practice of the Ming Dynasty, which has been implemented since the era of King Wuzhong. When the Ming Dynasty supported the Rakshasa Kingdom to fight Napoleon in the early years, the weapons and ammunition he gave were also 'rented'. Now he supports the Mexican emperor, the weapons and ammunition he gave were also 'rented'."
"Do you have to pay it back?"
"I'll definitely pay it back."
"Have Rakshasa been reunited?"
"I'm paying it back, I'll pay it back a little a year, and I'll pay it back in ten or eight years."
"That was the account of 1812 in the Western calendar. It's been fourteen years now, and I have to pay it back ten or eight years? Isn't this too dark?"
"Your Majesty, it's not difficult to borrow again!"
"No, no, what if there is anything wrong with this, wouldn't I become King Nan of Zhou who is heavily in debt?"
When the sky became dark, in the study room in the Immortal Gate Palace, Emperor Daoguang and his most trusted minister Heshen were discussing borrowing and begging for food.
Previously, Emperor Daoguang and Lin Zexu did not talk about any substantial issues at the welcoming banquet, but at the end of the banquet, they finalized the major policy of "printing for financial aid".
It was substantial that Heshen had a conversation with Zhuge Weidao in the carriage. The two of them had been talking in the carriage for nearly half an hour, but did not reach any agreement. They just proposed and explained their own requirements and conditions for exchange.
The Ming Dynasty's requirement was very simple, that is, the Great Jin Kingdom should be the evil people to harass India under the British Empire. If possible, the war could be introduced into Afghanistan. The exchange conditions given by the Ming Dynasty were to send a group of naval and army advisors to rent a batch of naval and army equipment and ammunition to the Great Jin Kingdom. As for renting materials, of course, they had to borrow and repay them. If they could not pay them back, they had to pay them.
This practice of providing assistance in the form of "rental" can be seen as being passed down by King Zhuge Wuzhong. Since it is the rule passed down by King Zhuge Wuzhong, the real "ancestor" of the new Ming Dynasty, is naturally the family law of the ancestors.
But Emperor Daoguang was still a little unhappy. He was just poor now, but he was debt-free. If he "lent" the weapons of the Ming Dynasty to India to "beg for food" from the British, it would be fine if he wanted it, but what if he didn't? Then wouldn't he become a heavily in debt "Gold Debt Sect"?
The Rakshasa Kingdom next door had to pay back the debts owed to the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years. Daoguang was unwilling to spend the rest of his life under the pressure of repaying the debt, and he did not want to be a Jinde Sect with heavy debts.
However, Heshen was very open about debt. Seeing that Daoguang did not dare to engage in debt management, he smiled and said, "Do you know that King Nan of Zhou finally paid back the money owed to the rich people in Luoyang?"
"That's a big deal!" said Fat Daoguang, "I've been evading debts, why are you still paying it? Besides, he just wants to pay it back but he has no money to pay it back!"
Heshen smiled and said, "That's just a debt. The emperor thought that King Nan of Zhou should borrow money from wealthy families to fight this war?"
"Of course I shouldn't borrow it," said Fat Daoguang. "It's so ugly if you don't pay it back if you borrow it, and you'll force someone to go to the top!"
"Oh," Heshen said, "Then do nothing, and watch the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty ruin the world in his own hands?"
"This" Daoguang was stunned.
Heshen said, "King Nan of Zhou borrowed the debts of wealthy families to raise five or six thousand people, and then met the princes to attack the powerful Qin. In the end, although he was defeated without a fight, he himself was in debt. But he finally did his best to protect the Great Zhou world! Although he failed, he had already tried his best, and even if he died, he would be worthy of the ancestors of the Great Zhou.
Let’s talk about it the other way around. If he doesn’t borrow this debt, will the emperor think the Great Zhou Dynasty can guarantee it?”
"Of course I can't save it," said Daoguang, "How could the tyrant Qin let the Zhou Dynasty go?"
Heshen smiled and said, "Isn't this just a debt to borrow money and lose the country and lose it. If you don't have a chance to win, it will also be a chance to lose it. Anyway, it will be a chance to lose it, so why not? What if you win?"
"That's right," Daoguang heard it was reasonable, "If you win, the Great Zhou might be able to last for a few more years."
"That's it!" Heshen asked again, "Emperor, if you can be in the position of King Nan of Zhou, will you borrow this debt?"
"I have to borrow. And I have to borrow more!" said Daoguang, "If you borrow more, you can recruit more soldiers. This way, I will make a bigger chance of winning. If I win, I will promote the Great Zhou again. If I lose, I will abandon the city and flee!"
Heshen stretched out his thumb and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise! Then do you think we should lend more weapons and ammunition from Ming Kingdom? Borrow more chances of winning. If you win, you will not be worried about not paying it back. If you lose, you will lose. Haha, your soldiers are like gods. I, Dazhou, no, the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty are all loyal and brave, so it is impossible to lose."
Daoguang was finally convinced and nodded, "That's right, you should borrow more! Heshen, go and explore the bottom and see how much we can borrow at most?"
"Slaves receive the order."
Heshen breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to kneel down and leave after receiving Emperor Daoguang's order. However, Daoguang said to Heshen: "How is that Nalandili? Are you pregnant?"
"I haven't gotten pregnant yet," Heshen said, "I heard that Natalie's female grandfather is pregnant."
Emperor Daoguang frowned, "Then let her hold on."
“Wait.”
Daoguang then waved his hand and said, "Kneel down and rest."
At the same time, in the big house arranged by Heshen to the Ming Dynasty mission, Zhuge Weidao was also reporting to Lin Zexu who had just settled down on the negotiations with Heshen this afternoon. Yu Hui, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, was accompanying him.
"Zhongtang, Heshen has been talking about how powerful the British and Indian troops are, how poor the military equipment of the Great Golden Eight Banners soldiers are, and also said that Emperor Daoguang's brother, Dost Mohammed Khan, also needed a loaned material. It seems that he is preparing to open a lion's mouth and ask for more things."
Yu Hui next to him interjected with a smile: "This Heshen is cunning and must be having the idea of borrowing or not paying it back."
Zhuge Weidao smiled and said, "As long as the British can be introduced into the mud pit in Afghanistan, it's okay to borrow or repay it! By the way, what is the relationship between Daoguang and Dost Mohammed Khan from the Barakzai Dynasty in Afghanistan?"
This Dost Mohammed Khan, Zhuge Weidao, was known as the leader of the Barakzai tribe. He captured Kabul Province in 1826 and called him Khan, creating the Barakzai Dynasty. When the first Afghan War against Britain broke out in history, he was the Emir of Afghanistan. Although he became a prisoner in resistance against Britain, he had a filial son Akbar Khan. After he was captured, he continued to fight, led the Afghan tribal soldiers and the British and Indian troops to fight guerrilla warfare, and cut off Kabul's supplies, forcing thousands of British and Indian troops and more than 10,000 families to flee. On the way, he was ambushed by Akbar Khan's army. In the end, only one person ran away. After this battle, the British felt that Dost Mohammed Khan was easier to deal with, so they put him back and supported him to restore the situation.
Yu Hui said: "This Dost Mohammed Khan is Daoguang's younger brother. In our opinion, the Great Jin Kingdom is just a small country in the Western Regions and is not worth mentioning. However, in the eyes of Bukhara, Shiva, Afghanistan and other countries, the Great Jin in Wuji Valley and the Mongols on the Kazakh grassland are all the Heavenly Kingdom and Heavenly soldiers! With the support of Emperor Daoguang, the Emirs and Khan in these places can firmly stand."
"So, Daoguang can enter India as long as we get our rental supplies?" Lin Zexu frowned and asked, "Daozi, do you really think Heshen is making a decision to pay a debt? They will also pay a loss if they win?"
It is always bad to betray the debt, and there is also a problem of responsibility!
Although Lin Zexu would not lose his official position because of bad debts in renting materials, he would still lose some face and cause losses after all!
"Zhongtang," Zhuge Weidao smiled, "The lower officials think Heshen wants to pay the debt! But we can ask Dajin for some mortgage, so we don't have to worry about them pay the debt."
"What kind of mortgage is needed?" Lin Zexu asked.
"Railway building rights!" Zhuge Weidao said, "We need a railway to pass through Jin's land to Rakshasa."
