"Miss Otaya, news came from the Tokyo Branch that the price of war bonds has been hyped upwards through our secretly, and the price has risen from 105 taels when we took over to 120 taels. The Tokyo Branch sent a telegram from Edo Castle to ask whether to continue holding war bonds, or should it sell them in large quantities at this price?" The people from the Ministry of Revenue came to find Otaya.

The plan to speculate on war bonds was proposed by Da Yuer.

"The war between the shogunate and the rebels has lasted for most of the winter, and the chances of winning of the shogunate are rapidly decreasing. It is estimated that the dream of war bonds being able to make 50% profit will soon be shattered. 120 taels have reached its peak, allowing the Tokyo branch to deal with the war bonds they bought in batches at the price of 120 taels as soon as possible." Oyu'er said indifferently.

"The Tokyo branch bought about 300,000 taels of silver war bonds at a price ranging from 102 taels to 107 taels. If it is sold at a price of 120 taels, it will probably make a profit of about 40,000 taels of silver. This financial method is really powerful. It does not require war. You can get a huge profit by buying and selling..." After doing some calculations, the official in charge of following up on the speculation of war bonds in the Ministry of Revenue could not help but feel that Oyu'er could use the shogunate to raise war funds to make a profit, which was equivalent to a generous income in vain.

"It's not that simple. Using financial means requires a solid principal and you also need to risk failure. If you make a mistake, you may lose all your money. Without the private acquisition of principal and the promotion of Jiuzhou Daily, the price of war bonds will be difficult to rise." Da Yuer said, "It is not our purpose to obtain a profit of 40,000 taels of silver, it is just a profit..."

"When I go down, I go to the Beijing Telegraph Office to issue instructions to the Tokyo Branch, asking them to clear all the war bonds in hand as soon as possible at a high price." The official of the Ministry of Revenue said, and was still flattering before leaving. "Miss Da Yu'er repeatedly made suggestions, and maybe she will be able to enter the six ministries soon."

Only the highest civil servants in the empire can participate in the Six Ministry meetings. For example, the President is only qualified to participate in the Six Ministry meetings.

"Six ministries meetings... I'm too young." Da Yu'er knew that the civil servant group attached importance to seniority. No matter how she was, she would never become a senior civil servant in the empire at her early twenties. It was already the limit to be able to climb to her current position.

"The future is long, at least your future is unlimited, Miss." Officials from the Ministry of Revenue were still very optimistic about Da Yu'er. After all, she is regarded as the representative of female officials in the civil service group. Chu Yun wants to find someone to set a flag, so unless something happened to Da Yu'er himself, there is no possibility that anyone would destroy the flag.

Oyu'er didn't care much about Japan. Even if she didn't get involved in this matter, the Kyushu army would be able to resolve the civil war in Japan. She instructed the Tokyo branch to hype war bonds just to accelerate the collapse of the shogunate.

"Da Yu'er, why have you come to our Peking University?" Sophia discovered Da Yu'er who was looking for her.

"I want to invite Your Highness, Princess, to come to my house for dinner during the Spring Festival," said Da Yu'er.

"Spring Festival! I have heard from Chinese lecturers that it is the grandest and most important festival in the Eastern countries!" Princess Sophia studied overseas at the Beijing University for several months. Even though she was not studying seriously, she had to learn Chinese and learn a lot of Chinese culture in order to be able to communicate with people around her normally.

"Yes, my brother is out on the battlefield and may not be able to come back during this period... I am alone in the capital, and it just so happens that you are alone in the capital. I was thinking that it would be better to ask you guys to cook together." Da Yuer said.

"That's the best! Salina has a child and came to our Beijing University in the first three months, but it's not convenient to come after three months. She took a few months off school leave... I'm here alone now. Fortunately, I met Kazuko, otherwise I would be a little lonely." Princess Sophia said.

"It is my honor to be able to know His Royal Highness of Britain's Princess." Kazuko, an international student sent by the shogunate, said from the side.

She was asked by an overseas lecturer to take care of Princess Sofia and Salina, and the few people naturally became familiar with each other.

"Hezi, how about you come to my house with you?" Da Yu'er sent an invitation to Hezi.

"Can I go too?" Kazuko was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Da Yu'er would invite her with a shogunate background to go with her.

"Aren't you having any disagreements with other international students in the shogunate? I think you may not have a place to go during the holidays. Why not cook with us? You should know the cuisine in Japan. I can cook some wild game on the Mongolian grasslands, and Liu Rushi can also know that Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. I think it will be quite interesting. Of course, if you have other arrangements, I don't say anything." Da Yu'er stared at Kazuko, knowing that she would definitely not refuse.

"Of course I do it..." Hezi couldn't help but feel a little flattered when he saw Da Yuer let her join the circle.

"The shogunate has begun to recruit a group of international students to return to Japan to participate in the civil war. You should stay in our capital for a long time and wait until the Japanese civil war is over before going back." Da Yuer said.

"I don't know what I have learned well, and the shogunate won't call me back so soon..." Kazuko said calmly.

"A civil war broke out in your country?" Princess Sophia was not familiar with Japan, but she was not unfamiliar with war. Europe fought wars every year.

"I don't know if it's my country. My father is a Han Chinese. At that time, he was wandering on the sea and his mother was a Japanese woman who was taken away by her father." Hezi said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Why don't we talk about the division of labor for the New Year's Eve dinner? I wonder if Princess Sophia, will you make European dishes? I have not eaten the dishes there yet." Da Yu'er thought that in the future, Kazuko would not have to worry about nationality at all, and the Japanese Congress will be demoted to a province.

"Although we in Britain have some unique dishes, I don't know." Princess Sophia said naturally.

As His Highness, you don’t need to cook the dishes yourself.

"That's a pity. I originally wanted to try His Royal Highness the Princess's skills." Da Yu'er said regretfully.

"A few servants left by Sir Greenville, among them, whom I can order them to cook for us." Princess Sophia said.

"Your Highness, the dish you cooked yourself is soulless..." said Kazuko.
