When Cixi fled, she borrowed 100,000 yuan from the Qiao family. Why do jstars only need four words when they are rewarded?

In 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to Shanxi with their ministers. In August, the jstars received a letter from Gui Chun, a bachelor of cabinet, who was one of the accompanying ministers who fled to the west with Cixi and Guangxu.

Gui Chundao: The Empress Dowager and Emperor Guangxu will arrive in Qixian on the eighth day, so you should be prepared. Hearing this, the jstars will definitely move, and they should be well decorated inside and outside. The Qiao Family Courtyard will serve as a temporary palace for Cixi and Guangxu.

When Cixi arrived in Shanxi, she brought all the wealthy businessmen in Shanxi together. The meaning is obvious, that is, Cixi needs to spend a lot of money along the way, so everyone will come out.

As we all know, Empress Dowager Cixi needs a lot of money, and it can't be sent away by one or two thousand. You can't talk less when you say it, and it hurts when you say too much, so everyone is particularly hesitant.

At this time, Jia from the Defeng Bank of the jstars came out and said that our jstars had paid100000. With the leadership of the jstars, other families have paid more or less. Empress Dowager Cixi is also very happy. Jia told the big shopkeeper Yan about it.

Yan said that 102,000 is not a small sum. We haven't told the host yet. How dare you promise? Jia said: if the queen mother and the emperor are gone, we will suffer. If they are still here, the money will definitely be returned to us.

Think about it, this is the same reason that he praised Jia for his vision. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi was really good to Shanxi Bank. All the taxes paid by the provinces go through Shanxi Bank, and1200 million boxer indemnity is also handed over to Shanxi Bank.

Cixi went back and forth to Beijing later, and she certainly won't forget the people who helped her when she fled to the west, such as the Qiao family. She asked Qiao Zhiyong, the boss of jstars, what reward do you want?

Of course, it is impossible for Qiao Zhiyong to say, "Give me back the 100,000 taels of silver you lent me. It is estimated that this sentence will anger Cixi, who will think, "Dear Qiao Zhiyong, do you think that the imperial court doesn't even have 100,000 taels of silver? Are you here to collect debts?

Qiao Zhiyong said: I just want four words. I hope the Queen Mother can give them to me.

Empress Dowager Cixi usually likes calligraphy and wrote four words: Fu Zhong Lang Yi. This kind of blessing, that is, the meaning of blessed land, and this library is the place where the emperor collects books, and later it means fairyland, which is a good place on the whole! And the cave means the same thing, and these four words are very suitable as the plaque of the jstars courtyard.
