v11 Chapter 91: Drumming noise is difficult to treat

Remember [New] for a second,! Thirty thousand!

30,000 is a piece of shit!

Although Hijikata Suizan knew that it was rude to do so, he didn't expect so much, and he stepped forward and grabbed Alcock's sleeve.

As a university student studying in the UK, he has a London accent and is naturally well-learned. He asked Alcock why he had broken his trust. He promised only 100,000 pounds a week ago, but now he can only give 30,000 pounds.

If you are 89,000, it's just a little bit short, and it's fine. Songping Qixuan sent it down, thousands of people, all of them shattered into pieces after this launch, the soldiers' calculations were not much better, and they couldn't detect the difference.

But if it's only 30,000, what's the point? It is only a few taels in one hand, which is completely incompatible with the British claim that India is the number of double stipends plus subsidies every day.

To tell the truth, this amount of money is paid, it is not like repayment of owed wages at all, it is more like ridicule and ridicule. Your heads are tied to the waistbands of your trousers and you worked hard to carry the guns of the British Empire. Now that the war is over, the British will dump you like garbage.

Such behavior, and the end of the arbitration with that kind of employee, received due wages and compensation. What the company took out was a whole basket of dime coins, all of which were very bad in nature.

"The Indian side has not paid more for the balance, and I have nothing to do." Alcock knew that he was right, and he could only temporarily tolerate Hijikata's unreasonableness.

In fact, it is very convenient to transfer money from India to Japan, as long as you go to the bank for an account. Here in Yokohama, it will take less than a week to determine, and then through the settlement and exchange of foreign exchange and local currency through Hama Customs, you can pay in cash within ten days.

After all, Binhai Customs has reserves of gold and silver spot exchange worth millions of taels all year round. Moreover, in order to facilitate transactions with the United Kingdom, the two of Japan's shogunate have already achieved the gold content of exchange with the British pound, and the exchange between the two sides is very easy.

If Yokohama now says there is no money, then it is estimated that India has no money!

Moreover, Alcock's great achievement in conquering India has already been obtained, so he is not in such a hurry to urge him. He, the main intermediary, was not in a hurry. In order to deal with the post-war reconstruction, and to reimburse and buy off various princes and religious forces in India, Earl Canning, who had spent a lot of money, would not take the initiative to pay.

You keep an eye on it, send a letter every week, and he estimates that he will pay you 120,000 yuan. Alcock's thoughts were all on the London round, so he urged him before returning to Japan. He could come to 30,000 at this time, and it was really a gift from Earl Canning.

You guys are holding hands, what should we do here?

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and in the large camp outside Yokohama, thousands of soldiers were looking forward to it. Songping Qi Xuan's words have been given to them long ago, and today they will give 100,000 yuan!

"With your face, it's just a matter of a word to temporarily borrow tens of thousands of pounds from British merchants!" Tsujikata saw Alcock's prevarication and immediately replied.

To tell the truth, Alcock was even able to kill him first, and then let the British merchants and Binhai Customs collect 1.5 million cash for him to hire a training team. As long as he borrowed 58,000 yuan now, it was just a matter of handing over a business card to him.

"No, no, I can't do anything about such a large sum of money." Alcock should not, just shirk.

He is about to be promoted back to London soon, and the mess on the shogunate side will be dealt with by someone behind him. If he borrowed now, he was the one who borrowed the money, and it was hard to say whether Earl Canning would pay him back. Even if he had to pay it back, it would be a year or two later, and he didn't want to take such a risk.

"Only 30,000 yuan, how can you handle the soldiers and soldiers!" It's not tough, and Tufang Sui San can only be soft.

Don't need too much, even if it's just 20,000 more, Songping Qixuan and the others will temporarily borrow a little bit and raise a little bit, and they can be perfunctory today. Let's mess up today first, and then we can make a long-term plan later.

"No, no, not at all..." Alcock didn't eat hard or soft, he pulled out his sleeves with force, and the two British soldiers on the left and right stepped forward and set aside Suikata Seizan.

"You can't go, you can't go!" Hijikata Suishan still wanted to struggle, but the door of the British embassy was closed.

The anxious Hijikata Toishan knew that he might not be able to get the money here. He was also a decisive person. He did not delay at the embassy, ​​and immediately rushed back to the Yokohama City Representative Office. In the official hall, officials such as Matsudaira Qixuan and Yokohama Jodaikawaji Seimo, Yokohama Steel Works General Manager Oguri Tadashi, Yokohama Naval Training Institute Principal Takeyo Enomoto, Merchant Marine School Principal Katsu Kaishu and other bureaucrats were all waiting for him.

"Did you get the money?" Enomoto Wuyang and Hijikata Toshizo were classmates or the same class, and they stepped forward and asked.

"Thirty thousand..." When Hijikata Suishan said this number, of course he was not confident enough.

"Hi..." The first reaction of everyone present was not to scold Alcock or the Englishman, but to take a deep breath.

Now there are soldiers from the training team guarding the entrance of the official hall. Thousands of people are waiting to pay today, but Alcock only gave 30,000. A mere 30,000, let alone let the grievances of the soldiers dissipate, just go to Alcock for a meal.

"It's over, it's over..." This was the voice of everyone.

"Where's the 30,000 yuan?" Songping Qixuan immediately asked him when he saw that Tufang Suishan came back empty-handed.

"Xiaguan sent someone to Binhaiguan to exchange the small sentence. I think it's already on the way for a while." Of course, Tufang Suishan couldn't carry 30,000 pounds with him. He had already sent someone to Binhaiguan to exchange cash.

"Not good!" Sheng Haizhou on the side suddenly shouted.

What is he in a hurry? He was so anxious that the person who was going to exchange the small sentence was actually a soldier of the training team, the personal guard of Hijikata Suizan himself, and actually belonged to the part of the people who were owed military pay. It's just that they followed Hijikata's third year and robbed a big family in India, so they have some savings, so they won't make trouble for the time being.

But if they don't make trouble, it doesn't mean they will strictly keep the secret that only 30,000 taels are exchanged today. And now, at the entrance of the official hall, there are soldiers from the training team guarding. When asked on both sides, this matter will immediately come to the bottom.

The soldiers of the training team who know the details, what will they do if they are not ready?

Sheng Haizhou took three steps and took two steps. Before the door, he heard the soldiers roaring. There was only a mere 30,000. What is 30,000?

At the same time, amid the angry scolding of the soldiers of the training team, the train loaded with copper produced by Ashio Copper Mountain slowly drove to Yokohama Railway Station. Ready to deliver the goods immediately to the British merchants who purchased the goods in exchange for foreign exchange.
