European sick man, what was going on with the Ottoman Turkish Empire?

Simply put, they borrowed too much money, and so much money, so repayment would be quite tragic, and even the entire financial system would be taken out.

This is easy to understand, but some of the details are actually very interesting.

As for some information obtained by Li Mengyang, this is how the Ottoman Empire borrows money.

They borrowed 3 million from Britain and France, but they got less than 1.5 million!

You can see it clearly, it’s a loan shark!

But to say one thing, that is the definition of usury.

Let’s talk about the current U.S. interest rate is 12%, which is a public price. There is such a borrowing rate in the market. Even if the Li Mengyang Empire comes, the eastern region is defeated, and our central bank comes, and we will be a central bank, but this interest rate cannot be achieved!

Simply put, you can make strict regulations, but this regulation is useless at all. Just like the Qingmiao Law that Wang Anshi implemented back then, he collected 20% interest, but the private interest was 40%, and there was a spread there, so some people went to the interests to seek rent, the same thing.

But there is another thing that shows here. Compared with 20% interest, is the interest in the United States considered usury?

In Li Mengyang's era, basically as long as the interest rate exceeded 10, then this is definitely a loan shark, because our usual interest rate is not much. Looking at the world of the 21st century, Europe is even more interesting. They later made it out, you can borrow 100 for a few years, and then change it next year, and you can just change it for 98 for a while!

Negative interest rates are so ruthless.

However, this is the case now, the United States is 12%. So according to the Ottoman Türkiye's loan situation, the interest there should be more than 50%!

This reflects a huge problem, that is, the economy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire has collapsed!

Why is the interest high?

Look at the empire. Although it is a bit of a political and cultural life, it is a good life for great development, construction, and the people's lives are pretty good. However, Turkey has just fought a big battle, so it is definitely unstable.

In other words, the greater the risk, the greater the accompanying benefits. On the contrary, the interest in Turkey reflects the local economic and ecological risks.

With Li Mengyang's vision and his years of experience in economics and politics, he can use such a small message to launch a lot of things. This guy is not bad...

The risk is so great that it is too normal to have some problems with the repayment.

So here, this Türkiye...

"Sew r-majesty! Could it be that you are interested in Türkiye?" Gladstone was not a fool. Of course, he accurately grasped the changes in Li Mengyang's expression.

"..." Disraelli was also very alert, and he immediately felt something was wrong!

How did Li Mengyang answer?

"I'm interested! I'm very interested!" I express my feelings directly!

"This is great!" The British Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were both happy...

Then let’s talk about how to make a transaction here?

The key is, where is Li Mengyang’s interest here?

First of all, Li Mengyang would not let Türkiye ced Romania to himself because of this matter.

This is unrealistic. Moreover, after talking to Joseph I, there is no need to get this place in person. You know, Li Mengyang does not believe in how loyal and honest that guy Joseph I is here. Even his relatives can cheat him. They just called out his brother and younger brother, which was very false.

Regarding Romania, Li Mengyang only needs to make good use of Joseph I, and this guy is really good, so he directly let Andrahi take charge of this matter. Although Hungary and Romania are bordered,... forget it, their housework.

It is enough to bind Joseph I with your interests!

In addition, Li Mengyang does not seem to interfere in Türkiye's affairs.

It should be said that he can't intervene now, and the empire's hand can't be reached at all!

Compared with that area, the American Empire is still very different from the old powers like Britain and France. They have been operating for many years and their own domestic development needs to be developed. Moreover, the United States itself has isolationism. If you want the army to go out now, the American society that has just been comforted will definitely be in chaos. I am afraid that Whitman will not speak for him at that time.

So, what can Li Mengyang get from Turkey in this way?

"What do you think of the estuary of the Black Sea?" This is what Li Mengyang wants!

"..." Disraelli and Gladstone's face changed at the same time...

The fuck we don’t want to let go of the benefits!

This is definitely what the two British gentlemen said at this time, absolutely, Li Mengyang doesn't need to listen to it.

"In this way, 100 tons of gold, 100 years, the operating rights of the port, we two will come together, everyone will share the profits. You British are great, I account for 40%, and you account for 60%, how about it?"

I have to say that Li Mengyang’s suggestion is so touching!

Didn't you say that the whole plate was taken away, right?

And he directly transferred 100 tons of gold, which was a huge sum of money, and the money was really not small!

"His Majesty the Emperor of the American Empire! You are really a generous monarch!" Gladston rushed to speak.

"Okay! That's it! I'll make a detailed financial plan when I go back, detailed..." Disraelli's side is faster!

"..." Li Mengyang was planning to talk about the price again, but he rushed to give the matter. This was simply... so unexpected! Is he offered a little too many price numbers?!

It’s a matter of this, Li Meng and Yang Fan must be allowed to discuss it together, but in fact, the two people who didn’t see this time are two people!

The British political arena at this time was very interesting. It was mainly two parties, one was the Conservative Party. This party did not have one. This was integrated by Disrael. Of course, if you want to say that conservatives have a long history in the UK, and now, everyone simply express their attitudes. We call it conservative, and whatever we like.

Another one is the Liberal Party. This Liberal Party is also very powerful. The previous big boss was the famous Parmestown. There was a translation into Parmeszun in Hong Kong. However, he died a few years ago, so Gladstone began to lead the Liberal Party.

But you should know that the Liberal Party is also a Conservative Party, so don't be deceived by the name of this Party. The so-called freedom is because they want to engage in free trade. According to Li Mengyang, it is a free market economy. This free market economy is somewhat slightly closer to the reformist side than Disraelli.

In terms of root, these two parties are both conservatives, that is, both rightists, but they are now fighting each other and fighting very well.

To be honest, this matter is really interesting. As Li Mengyang knows, it is in recent years that you have finished the show in the UK. It is not your leader of the Liberal Party to serve as prime minister, but my Conservative Party to serve as Minister of the Finance Department. Let’s change it.

There was not a big gap at first, but to put it bluntly, it was just to fight for power. The fight was really interesting. Li Mengyang also knew that Disrael and Gladstone had high evaluations in later generations and were both considered one of the most outstanding prime ministers in British history. Do you think this matter is interesting or not?

But now they are fighting, and it is obvious that they want to turn the political and economic "war results" against the American Empire into their own credit. Seeing that there is an economic crisis in Europe again, if we can get some benefits and dilute this crisis, wouldn't it be a great benefit to get votes?

So, these two people came together because of this, and they also gave outsiders a sense of good feelings for us brothers.

Politics is really interesting, but these two big names are fighting here, so Li Mengyang can't just watch it like this, right?

"Two gentlemen, don't be so anxious. We can roughly talk about Turkey's affairs, but I also heard that your country and the Qazar dynasty are doing well. Who is here, it seems that there is a way for Nasilding?"

Alas, this topic has been brought to the Kazar Dynasty, this...

What is the Kazar Dynasty?

The Kazar Dynasty, also known as the Caga Dynasty, and that Nasirdin is the current king. This dynasty is actually the current Persia, which is the future Iran!

In general, there is no Iran yet, or Iran is not called Iran, but Iran is now called Persia, Europe is called Persia, and we Chinese seem to call it that way.

The current dynasty is very interesting. The king is named Nasilding, and he has been in power for quite some time. However, when it comes to this dynasty, everyone understands that Iran's original position is not far from the Ottoman Turkey. If the Ottoman declines, then Persia will naturally not be able to do well.

So, Li Mengyang has mentioned this matter now, then this...

"Your Majesty, we can't control this matter..."

"Yes, yes, the whole thing is the personal work of my British Empire merchant. If we ask us to intervene now, it is a bit contrary to morality and law, and it is difficult for us to do..."

Hey, when Li Mengyang brought this topic to Persia, both of them waved their hands, saying that they couldn't control it.

They are both people who call the wind and rain in the UK, and they can't control it? Do you believe it?

So what is this?

This matter is really related to a person, a very famous but very low-key guy... (To be continued.)
