Liu Xie, who returned to Bohai, was finally able to concentrate on the management and development of the fiefdom.

Due to the injection of the Zhen family's huge wealth, the development of the entire Bohai Sea is like stepping on a train of high-speed development, and it looks thriving.

In many surrounding areas, such as Qingzhou and Youzhou, many people have fled their hometowns due to the rampant yellow turbans or frequent wars.

Hearing that the wind and rain here in Bohai are smooth, King Kuanren of Bohai observed the people and flocked to Bohai one after another, doubling the population of Bohai in a short period of time.

Liu Xie held the development of Bohai in his hand, Liu Xie's heart was overjoyed, looking at Zhou Yi and Mao Jue in front of him, Liu Xie couldn't help but appreciate: "The two are really great talents, so that they can develop Bohai to this level in such a time, it is really beyond Lone's expectations." ”

"The lord praises it! This is also due to the fact that the lord was able to borrow money from the Zhen family, and I wonder where a place as big as Bohai can have such a rich financial foundation like Bohai. Hearing what Liu Xie said, although Zhou Yi was happy in his heart, he still understood that everything in front of him came from Liu Xie's important step of borrowing from the Zhen family.

"Eh, if there are no internal affairs talents such as Bo Yuan and Xiaoxian, I don't know how to spend it even if I have a lot of money." Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"Lord, there are many people like us in the world, but there is only one lord like the lord." At this time, Mao Jue, who was behind Zhou Yi, also spoke.

Hearing Mao Jue's words, Liu Xie suddenly smiled: "Xiaoxian, when did you start to learn to pat on the back?" ”

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Mao Jue suddenly said with a straight face: "Lord, it's not me who is patting on the back, this is the case, and Bo Yuangong also deeply understands this." ”

Hearing Mao Jue's words, Zhou Yi couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.

At this time, I saw Zhou Yi speak again: "There is something we dare not decide, and we still need to ask the lord for instructions." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Liu Xie was slightly surprised, after all, Liu Xie gave the two of them the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and two people can make decisions on ordinary matters, and only when they encounter that very important thing, Liu Xie needs to make a decision.

I saw Zhou Yi open his mouth and say: "My lord, we borrowed money from the Zhen family before, and we also agreed on the interest of the loan.

However, Bohai is now in the early stage of development, and there are places where money is used everywhere, and if the loan and interest are returned to the Zhen family in installments month by month while developing, it will be okay at the beginning, but I am afraid that it will be a little difficult in the later stage. ”

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Liu Xie saw that Mao Jue also had the same expression, and knew that the two must have already discussed, but they needed to decide by themselves.

"Have you already figured out a good idea?" At this time, Liu Xie looked at Zhou Yi and Mao Jue and asked.

Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, Mao Jue couldn't help but speak: "My lord, I discussed with Boyuan Gong whether the lord can come forward and negotiate with the Zhen family, and pay him the interest on the loan in the first year, and the principal will be paid after Bohai develops." ”

Hearing Mao Jue's words, Liu Xie did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you expect Bohai to be able to afford the principal and interest in a year?" ”

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Mao Jue said: "I and Bo Yuan Gong estimate that if you tighten your belt and save some flowers, Bohai will be able to gradually repay the Zhen family's loan in a year." ”

Hearing Mao Jue's words, Liu Xie couldn't help frowning, obviously not very satisfied with Mao Jue's words.

It's not that they are dissatisfied with Mao Jue's work, but they are not satisfied with Mao Jue's words of "tightening their belts and saving money".

In Liu Xie's dictionary, there has never been a saying about saving money and spending, and Liu Xie prefers to choose "open source" compared to "throttling".

Especially at this time, Bohai is developing, and naturally needs huge investment.

And there is not much time left for Liu Xie, who needs Bohai to achieve leapfrog development in a short period of time.

"Lord, isn't there something wrong?" At this time, Zhou Yi on the side saw Liu Xie's frowning appearance, but he couldn't help asking.

Hearing Zhou Yi's inquiry, and glancing at the two people who were staring at him, Liu Xie suddenly spoke: "There is nothing wrong with it, Gu just wants to tell you that in terms of development, you don't have to save money for Gu, you must speed up the progress!" ”

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Zhou Yi and Mao Jue couldn't help but glance at each other, the two of them had already felt that Liu Xie seemed to be very urgent in terms of time, as if there was something urgent to do.

Just as the two were thinking, Liu Xie's voice sounded again: "The matter of the Zhen family, Gu personally negotiated, you are ready not to pay back the money within three years." ”

"Three years?" Hearing Liu Xie's words, Zhou Yi and Mao Jue couldn't help but exclaim in unison.

Although the Zhen family is just a family of merchants, and Liu Xie represents the imperial court and the government, this is also a loan transaction after all.

No businessman is a fool, and no businessman is willing to make a loss-making deal.

The Zhen family lent all the money to Liu Xie to develop Bohai, and Bohai developed by then, but after three years, I am afraid that the Zhen family will not be able to support it.

Even if he and the others think from the perspective of the head of the Zhen family, it already takes a lot of courage to be able to lend so much money, and if they don't pay back a single point within three years, it is simply fatal.

"Negotiate with the Zhen family, you just have to give Gu a good development of this Bohai Sea, I hope you can understand that Gu is also carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders." Seeing the surprised looks of Zhou Yi and Mao Jue, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing Liu Xie's appearance, whether it was Zhou Yi or Mao Jue, they were moved in their hearts, and they could imagine how much pressure Liu Xie had on him.

"Rest assured, we will live up to the trust and make the development of Bohai meet the expectations of the lord as soon as possible." At this time, Zhou Yi and Mao Jue suddenly said in unison.

Hearing the statements of Zhou Yi and Mao Jue, Liu Xie couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Liu Xie suddenly thought of something and asked the two, "What's the problem with the military quartermaster?" ”

Hearing what Liu Xie said, Zhou Yi suddenly spoke: "We know that the lord is most concerned about military matters, so when the financial allocation is made, the military quartermaster matters are allocated first. ”

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Liu Xie relieved himself and said: "That's good, under the premise of the development of the Bohai Sea, we must give priority to the supply of military supplies and provide the most adequate support." ”

Liu Xie is most concerned about army building, after all, this is the foundation for his own life when the world is in turmoil in the future, without this foundation, even if the development of Bohai Sea is good, it will not help.

"No!"
