Chapter 492: The Moonlight Clan of the Han Dynasty (Starting Point)
"Disturbed until the lord rested......" Cui Hou blinked his small eyes, a little cramped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as Jia Qu left on his front foot, Cui Hou came. It didn't seem to be just right, but I waited outside for a long time, and after seeing the end of the banquet, I ran over to ask for a meeting.
"It doesn't matter." Fei Qian smiled and asked the maid to prepare some stronger tea soup to refresh herself. As a leader, you must have this awareness, especially in a situation like the one that has just begun, if you only know how to enjoy all day long, you will throw things away when you give an order, and be a sleeping god, and it is not in the game, immune to all DEBUFF mythical states, otherwise sooner or later there will be chaos.
I don't know why, it's clear that Fei Qian's age is younger than himself, but it seems that everything is very insightful, and any problem is difficult, looking at Fei Qian's gentle smile, Cui Hou's heart that has always been a little apprehensive has also been put down a little, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Lord, I am going to go to Hedong tomorrow to purchase, but there is one thing...... We're going to pay back the first batch of borrowed money......"
Originally, Cui Hou's net worth was three or four hundred million, and he borrowed about four hundred million, and then paid in installments again, which is equivalent to borrowing three or four hundred million again, and now in about ten days, the borrowed money and some follow-up payments should be paid one after another.
"Well, how many more do we have on hand now?" Fei Qian asked.
Cui Hou took out a thin silk full of words from his sleeve and handed it over.
Fei Qian unfolded it and looked at it, and suddenly felt like going to the ATM to check the balance of his account at the end of every month in the later life, even if it was a dog day, he could detect the chill surging up from the back of his back......
This money......
It's too careless, I didn't expect to be a moonlight clan in the Han Dynasty......
Originally, more than one billion yuan, including a total of loans, was cut off because of the accident in Shaanjin, Hedong, and a lot of goods were directly lost, so in fact, it did not achieve the goal of doubling as originally thought, but with the difference in the price of grain and grass, there was probably a profit of close to 400 million, but during this period of time, the recruitment and use of troops were equivalent to more than 300 million coins.
In other words, basically the money earned is spent again.
More than half of it was grain and grass, which had been eaten, pulled, and then gone.
Although there are still a large number of leather and other materials in hand, the construction of Beiqu, Pingyang and Taoshan Xuemen started at the same time......
There is no problem that grain and grass are hard currency, but this hard currency is cyclical, and except for the harvest period, the rest of the time is constantly decaying.
There are more than 5,000 in Pingyang here, there are 1,000 in Yong'an, and more than 13,000 stones are consumed in a month;
The auxiliary soldiers have a monthly eclipse of one stone, and there are 1,000 in Beiqu, and there are 3,000 soldiers in Pingyang, including Tuntian, and 800 in Yongan, and they need more than 5,000 stones of grain a month;
There are more than 11,000 people in Yong'an, and there are about nearly 20,000 here in Pingyang, although the people usually do not need to provide grain and grass, but now these people do not have grain in stock, that is, before the harvest, they still need to provide ration support here, and build Pingyang and Xuemen, and the miscellaneous servants of all levels also need to pay for their labor with grain and grass, so they still need to spend about 8,000 to 10,000 stone per month......
That is to say, it is equivalent to eating 25,000 to 30,000 stone of grain and grass every month, which is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan......
And that's just eating.
And it also does not take into account the skyrocketing prices and inflation in the later period.
Inflation is fiercer than a tiger.
During the period of inflation, not to mention the ordinary people of the Han Dynasty, even the ordinary people of later generations may not know how to invest and make money, and most of the money they have accumulated with blood and sweat is like a marmot, digging a pit and hiding it.
But with the rise in prices, these people can only watch their savings gradually shrink, and whenever inflation occurs, it is an opportunity for the upper rich to plunder......
Fei Qian took advantage of the maid's strong tea soup, sipping slowly, while half-squinting, trying to recall in his mind some of the time-traveling novels he had read, in the hope of providing some inspiration, and found that it was ......
Nothing......
It seems to be all simplified patterns, such as:
"Well, in this way, we are not short of food and grass......
"Cash-for-work, the left pocket is put in the right pocket, so that we don't lack money......"
"We can collect 20 million stone this year, and then we will have all the rations for the soldiers......
Lying in a trough, 20 million stones is equivalent to the output of nearly 7 million acres, and the area of 7 million acres, according to the Han Dynasty 240 steps for the side length to convert, a large mu is about 465 square meters, and then 7 million acres is nearly 3,000 square kilometers......
The total area of the capital of the Celestial Empire is almost two of the later generations......
And not all land can be planted with crops, just like the fields that Fei Qian has reclaimed in Binh Duong now, it is at most 12 or 130,000 acres, of course, there is still some leeway, but even if it is fully reclaimed, it will be 7 or 800,000 acres at most.
So there is a lack of food and money, so what to do?
Fei Qian himself has nothing now, so he can only carry out the method of empty gloves and white wolf to harm others and benefit himself to the end. Since you can't find the answer in those later life travel novels, you can only cut a batch of leeks according to what you know......
"Yongyuan, those leathers are put first, and those that are not deeply processed are worthless...... Well, that's what it means, let's take part of the money first, return the first batch, and pay it back with great fanfare......" Fei Qian put down the tea bowl, then paused and said, "...... Then, you can borrow it again after you pay it back! Quietly borrow it back......"
Cui Hou blinked his little mung bean eyes, returned it with great fanfare, and then borrowed it?
"The lord means to bluff?"
"Yes, not exactly. If we don't pay it back, it will make people think that we have no money, so we have to pay it back with great fanfare, so that everyone knows that we have money......" Fei Qian knocked lightly on the table and said, "...... But we really don't have any money right now, so we need to borrow more......"
Cui Hou nodded and said: "It's not difficult to repay the money, but you have to borrow ......" The money of the Shi clan did not fall from the sky, and there were not enough benefits, and no one would let go easily. The last time it was to trade with glass, this time this excuse must be not good.
"Let's not keep the five baht in our hands, but now we need to turn it into supplies as much as possible...... Borrow, but also borrow grain and grass, borrow materials, not borrow coins, and the most important thing is to remember how many coins to use to repay after the agreement is written...... "Fei Qian is ready to take advantage of the chaos at this stage before it starts, and dig the corners of these trench buddies again.
Cui Hou understood a little, his little eyes blinked and shone with a yellow light, and said tentatively: "The will of the lord, the price of grain and grass will rise further?" ”
"Sort of...... This matter must not be leaked...... "Fei Qian didn't want to explain too much, because this thing, even if the people of the entire Han Dynasty were combined, he didn't know as much as he did now.
Cui Hou nodded his head as if pecking rice, and said, "Don't worry, my lord! Feel relieved! So, what should I use...... Well, what about a statement or a reason to borrow? ”
Fei Qian nodded, motioned to Cui Hou to wait a while, and then asked the guards to take something out and put it in the hall.
When Cui Hou looked at it, he couldn't help but feel a little discolored......
