233、The treasury has no money to issue bonds (four watches)

The Turkic handling opinions have been discussed here, and Lin Feng will not be involved in the details, and this group of important ministers will not let Lin Feng be involved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The next step was to discuss the matter of declaring war and starting a war with Goguryeo.

"The treasury cannot support the national war." Fang Xuanling spread his hands, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, there were still 50,000 troops stationed on the grassland, so I had to ask for money, grain and grass supply, the army of the class teacher just now wanted money to reward, and the dead soldiers wanted money to compensate.

Don't look at the seizure of so many livestock, they have not yet been converted into wealth, the captured booty has not yet been counted and put into storage, I don't know how much gold, silver and copper money there is, and most importantly, where did the grain and grass come from?

The soldiers glared angrily, what's the matter, is this not an opportunity for us to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions? Dong~ Turkic was flattened, seeing that the swords and guns were going to be put into storage, and the horses were put in Nanshan, and finally a Goguryeo popped out to send warmth, you told us that you couldn't support the national war?

Li Er is also not happy, Goguryeo is so arrogant, he actually wants to be on an equal footing with the Tang Dynasty at the Victory Dynasty, this is a provocation to the authority of the Central Plains Celestial Empire, and it is the Tang Dynasty that has just destroyed the invincible Eastern ~ Turkic.

"Do you have a good plan?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Feng with a 'whoosh', which startled Lin Feng: "What is this for, I'm afraid!" ”

"Can the protector of the country have a good plan to solve the problem of insufficient treasury to support the national war?" The eldest grandson Wuji's small eyes narrowed, looking like a kind person.

Lin Feng instantly understood that paralyzing this group of immortal old foxes was staring at his pocket, if you dare to pit me, I will pit you.

"Your Majesty, the lack of money and grain in the treasury does not mean that there is no money and grain to support the national war."

"Where there is money and food, report it quickly." Li Er wished that tens of millions of stones of grain were falling from the sky now.

Lin Feng's eyes looked at this group of important ministers, boss, let's not talk about it, you know this look, if you want money and food, it is right to find these people. Either their family is rich and land, or their mother's family is a big family, and they are all very rich.

The people who were swept by Lin Feng's eyes either looked up at the ceiling, or looked down to find the little ants, their necks were really not good, their eyes narrowed, and they dozed off with poor spirits.

Li Er had actually beaten the idea of this group of people a long time ago, but he couldn't open his mouth, the king of a country, asked his subjects for money, did he still want the emperor's face? So Lin Feng looked at the minister, and Li Er shook his head, he couldn't do this.

Lin Feng smiled, knowing that Li Er couldn't pull his face, so he simply said the method for Li Er: "Your Majesty, there is not a lot of wealth among the people, borrow the wealth of the people to support the army to crusade against Goguryeo, and wait until the army wins, count and sell the spoils of war, and then return the wealth to the people." ”

"This is not allowed, and if the spoils of war are not enough to pay, will it not add any more burden to the treasury?" Fang Xuanling said it well, and everyone knows that Goguryeo is difficult to beat. If you spend a huge amount of military spending, you won't get a single hair, and you will vomit blood without loss.

Lin Feng stretched out his right index finger and shook it: "It's not that the loan must be repaid after the war, this is called a war bond, and the term and interest can be set, for example, it can be repaid in one year, and the annual interest is one percent." If someone spends 100 yuan on a bond, then after a year it will return 100 percent of the principal and interest. Or set it for two years, and return one hundred and three times after two years. ”

"Of course, this is also an example, the specific period and how much interest is there, this depends on the difficulty of the war, the evaluation of the spoils of war after the war, the future income of the treasury, etc., so that the combination of setting a suitable period and interest can not only solve the problem of the temporary emptiness of the treasury, but also bring wealth to the people."

Fang Xuanling asked, "What if no one buys this bond?" ”

This shows two problems, first, the people are not optimistic about this war, afraid that the war will fail, and the court will not be able to return its principal and interest as scheduled; Second, the interest given is too low, the interests need to be balanced, and the court can't take the money, and the interest given is not enough for people to take the money and do whatever they want, so naturally no one wants to buy it. ”

Fang Xuanling continued to ask: "Then what if you don't get much after the war?" ”

"Isn't there still a tax, the war was originally spent on the treasury's money, but you just asked the private sector to borrow money because the treasury had no money, and when the tax came up, you had to pay back the money, because this should have been spent from the treasury." Lin Feng rolled his eyes, thinking about making money, war is risky, and you need to be cautious when going to war.

"If no one claims it after it expires, will the money go back to the treasury?" Li Erdong put a lot of thought into it.

Lin Feng shook his head: "The bonds issued by the imperial court are borrowed from the subjects with the credibility of the imperial court, and it is impossible for them to be owned by the treasury because the subjects have failed to receive them." If the subject fails to receive the principal and interest in time for various reasons, then the principal and interest are settled according to the number of years of the money, and the money is used as the basis for the next term, and so on, until someone comes to withdraw the wealth. ”

"With such a profit, won't the treasury run a huge deficit?" Fang Xuanling silently calculated in his heart, the more and more money rolls in, when will it be the end.

Lin Feng said disdainfully: "I'll give you a hundred, can't you earn it in a year?" ”

"This ...... It's not the same. "In these years, whatever you do with a hundred yuan will not only earn back for a year, but also make money in the Central Plains.

"Isn't that enough, this money was originally lent to you to spend, and if others don't come to receive it, won't you take it to make money, even if you earn two times for a hundred, you will always earn it for the person who holds the bond."

"But there is a problem that has to be dealt with, that is, this bond must be anti-counterfeiting, otherwise someone will make a fake one to come and take the money, and they can't recognize the real and fake, that is, it is a real loss."

Li Er stroked his beard and smiled: "Just handle it according to this, and the three provinces will discuss a charter." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone said, boss, you have the final say.

"Lin Feng, you have solved another problem for the imperial court, and I don't even know how to reward you." Li Er looked at Lin Feng and was worried, he was excited to be knighted before, but now he doesn't know how to reward him, is he a king?

"Huh? Am I the one who is the master of high merit? Lin Feng's mouth was wide open, his eyes were round, and he said with an exaggerated expression.

Zhu Gong looked disgusted, do you know what it means to be a meritorious master, you have no military power, no territory, you just destroy the surrounding countries and it is not a matter of words.

The title of Protector Tianzun can still be used in the pile of Taoist priests, the Duke of Protector is a title, and his status is high, he doesn't care about politics or soldiers, and most of the commanders listen to the abuses, I'm sorry, it's a false position, and I don't have any military power.

If you want to make a high contribution, you have to have someone under your command to do it, and the army that went out to fight against the Turks is all under the control of the generals, Lin Feng at most points fingers at these generals, and the soldiers below, hehe, at most respect you, and just command what to do.

ps: Since the addition is better, it's better to simply five today, the fifth watch at ten o'clock, and I'm going out tomorrow, two more.
