Who is the real leader in the Ming Empire?

There is no doubt that it must be the Reichsbank.

As the largest bank in Ming Dynasty, it grew into a giant through investment and loans as early as the Nanhua period.But now, as the leader of the empire's financial circle, his every move directly affects the empire's financial lifeline.

In October, the sky was drizzling, and Yingtian Eighth Avenue was full of people holding folded umbrellas, rushing in the rain under the seclusion. Eighth Avenue is Yingtian’s famous financial street, where there are many Like Nanhua, Financial Street is concentrated on Eighth Avenue, which is said to be because "eight" is a homonym for "fa".

However, for Edward Elias Sassoon, it is really difficult for him to connect the two. A month ago, Edward came to Daming and started his trip to Daming. At the age of 45, he is like Like every tourist who comes here, they walk in the city of Ming Dynasty, read newspapers, and participate in bankers' gatherings.

One of the very important reasons why Edward came here was to understand this land and this country.

What is the ultimate purpose of understanding?

To destroy the empire, of course!
Therefore, he needs to understand the empire, the opponent he wants to destroy.Today, as usual, when strolling in the city, Edward, who inadvertently found himself on Eighth Avenue, couldn't help being surprised.

Opposite is the Imperial Bank.

From time to time, people come and go in and out of the tall Greek temple-like building.It's past eleven o'clock at noon, and it's time to get off work in the morning.

Standing by the newsstand on the side of the road, when Edward browsed newspapers and magazines, his attention was not on the newspaper, but on the temple-like building opposite.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, although there was still half an hour before the Imperial Bank’s lunch break, some people had already left work early—the financial elites of the empire could be recognized at a glance. It seems to be wearing a uniform: black leather shoes, mesh socks, stiff trousers, a narrow tie, and an empire-style lapel-a kind of clothing that is similar to a European suit, but simpler and lighter, and the financial elite of the empire They are generally dressed in black or dark gray.

They walked and talked pleasantly to each other.Edward somewhat understood what they were talking about, and he could even judge by their facial expressions—they were talking about some insignificant things: some were talking about how to spend a weekend in the countryside, some were talking about the performance at the opera house last night, of course Someone was talking about a certain actress there too.

"empire……"

Saying this word in his mouth, Edward touched a coin in his hand - this is the silver coin of the Ming Empire.

The diameter is 39 mm, the weight is 27.07 grams, and the fineness is 95%.

It has the same silver content and weight as the Mexican silver dollar, what is the biggest difference?It's the pattern - the figure of the silver dollar is a Suzaku, and there are flame patterns around the Suzaku, which means rebirth from the ashes.

This is the legal currency of the Ming Empire - Ming Yuan.

Touching the rebellious Suzaku with its head and wings raised on the silver dollar, Edward sneered with his lips slightly raised.

"Finally...you can take revenge!"

Edward Elias Sassoon said this because his elder brother, Jacob Elias Sassoon, was illegally kidnapped to South China almost 20 years ago and sentenced by the so-called court death penalty.

At that time, in order to save Jacob, his father hired many lawyers, but it didn't make any sense.

Jacob is dead!
Died under Ming's despicable laws - what right do they have to judge a foreigner?What's more, it is simply absurd to kidnap people from another country to Ming Dynasty and try them according to Ming's laws.

But no matter how absurd it is, it can’t change the reality—they did, and they used Jacob’s life as a warning to everyone—anyone who sells porn to Daming will be sent to Ming’s court, and the only thing waiting for them is A dead end.

For the past 20 years, Edward has been waiting for an opportunity. What opportunity is he waiting for?

A chance for revenge, of course!

revenge!

For Jacob!
For Sassoon!
"Father, soon you will get your wish!"

Edward smiled coldly, his expression full of complacency. When his father passed away five years ago, he had repeatedly told him to take revenge.

Yes, the Jews are vengeful. Perhaps, he can't kill an empire, but he can take revenge in another way!

Do it the way the Jews do best.

"Well, it's time to go back to London!"

Almost a month later, Edward finally returned to London. After resting at home, he went directly to Downing Street.

As the son-in-law of the Rothschild family, perhaps his marriage with Irene Caroline Rothschild did not bring him any wealth, but relying on the influence of the Rothschild family, he still successfully squeezed into London The upper class, of course, is the most important thing?
It was he who had the opportunity to get in touch with the real high-level officials of the British Empire, and only through them could he have the opportunity to avenge Jacopo!
On the way to Downing Street, Edward continued to play with the "Suzaku silver dollar". The silver dollar was very beautiful, but...is it just a silver coin?

"This is... a silver coin?"

Robert Gascoigne-Cecil looked at the silver coin, then looked at Edward puzzled, his brows were full of doubts.

In fact, Cecil didn't like the Jew in front of him. If it wasn't for his wife's family, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand here, but his wife was from the Rothschild family.

Well, the British Empire has its own national conditions.

"Is this just a silver coin?"

Edward asked himself the answer.

"This is definitely not a silver coin, it is also a weapon!"

Taking a deep breath, looking at the Prime Minister of the British Empire in front of him, Edward expressed his thoughts that he had been thinking for a long time.

"The weapon of money - if it is in the hands of the British Empire, its power is not inferior to a huge fleet. It can even help the British Empire destroy the fleet of the Ming Empire. Not only can it destroy their fleet, but it can also destroy the fleet. Destroy their economy and ultimately their country! Mr Prime Minister, this is a very different kind of war!"

After a pause, Edward said.

"This is a money war, um... a money war too!"

"Currency war?"

Cecil looked at the guy in front of him puzzled.

"Yes, it's a currency war. Now the Ming Empire has made ammunition for us. We just need to fire this bullet. Mr. Prime Minister, I guarantee that it will bring unprecedented disasters to the Ming Empire, not only It is them, and their allies are also included! If we succeed, we will destroy the entire Ming Empire without firing a single shot, or even a single soldier! At least we can severely damage his ambitious Ming Empire! "

Looking at the swearing-in Amity in front of him, Prime Minister Cecil couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Edward, you have successfully aroused my curiosity, tell me about your plan!"

Everyone has curiosity, but what Cecil is curious about is how to start this currency war with Daming without firing a single shot.
