Chapter 139: Borrowing Aggressively
Zhaoyu said: "King, Weichen remembers that there are nearly 100,000 gold in Taifu, how can there be no money?" ”
Xiong Huai shook his head and said: "The widow promised to reward his corporal with 20,000 gold in the battle of Danshui, and then the army of the Pillar State is returning, and the widow cannot favor one over the other, so the Pillar State Department will also reward 20,000 gold, the Division of the Defeated Department will reward 20,000 gold, and the other departments will add up to 20,000 gold, except for other necessary expenses, Taifu can only come up with 20,000 gold." ”
"If there is only 20,000 gold, plus 3,000 gold in Taifu, if you buy grain from various countries at the same time, I am afraid it will be insufficient."
"This..." All six were speechless.
The well-planned grain purchase plan sounds like a word, but you said that Chu State did not have enough money...
I don't have the money to say one...
If the person who said this was not the King of Chu, everyone wanted to greet him directly.
But the person who said this was the king of Chu, and everyone could only shake their heads and sigh.
Not everyone sighed, at least E Jun didn't shake his head.
Just when everyone shook their heads, they inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ejun with a red and white face.
So everyone's eyes instantly focused on Ejun, although none of the people present were poor, but compared with Ejun, a local tyrant, then he was a poor man, Ejun was in Chu State, and he was recognized as a rich man.
At this time, Ejun was galloping in his heart, and he knew that he had donated 5,000 gold just now, but he had lost a lot until now.
Ejun didn't wait for everyone to speak, and said by himself: "King, the country is in trouble today, and Weichen is willing to destroy his family and donate 10,000 gold." ”
After E Jun finished speaking, his hands and feet were cold, his face was dead white, and his heart was dripping blood, no, he was spurting blood.
This is the family property saved by generations of Ejun.
Everyone took a big breath when they heard this, they all knew that Ejun was rich, but they never thought that Ejun was so rich, and he deserved to be a person who was known as a rich country.
Xiong Huai also glanced at E Jun in surprise.
Damn, Lao Tzu owns the treasury of Chu State, and rewarded tens of thousands of gold in one go, and then Dou You cried poor to me, saying that there was no money to trade.
I didn't expect E Jun to be able to get 10,000 gold in one go...
It made me want to rob him.
Calm down... Calm down...
The widow is now the king of Chu, not the king of the mountain, how can he grab his money!
If you want to rob, you can't rob it so blatantly, but you have to rob it secretly.
If you want to rob everyone's money, how can you only target Ejun alone?
No, this is not a money grab, as the king of Chu, this is called collecting taxes?
It's best to learn from Guan Zhong, even if it's to collect taxes, you have to collect them secretly, and it's best to collect taxes from ghosts and gods.
Xiong Huai secretly took a breath, shook his head and said: "Xianqing has a heart, but my Chu country is not poor to this extent, please don't mention it again." ”
E Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the king of Chu still has discipline!
Xiong Huai paused and said, "However, Xianqing's heart to serve the country is not easy for widows to refuse." ”
E Jun was startled, and his eyes were almost bloodshot.
Is the King of Chu playing tricks on me?
Xiong Huai continued: "The widow is willing to swear an oath with Xianqing, and today Xianqing will give 10,000 gold, and the widow will definitely give back 20,000 gold in the future." ”
As soon as the King of Chu said this, Zhao Yu and the others were suddenly shocked, the King of Chu is crazy, is this considered usury?
Then, everyone looked at E Jun with admiration.
Talents, the usury has been put on the head of the king of Chu...
Ejun's eyes were red, his whole body was hot, his voice trembled a little, and he said: "The king, the minister never dares to obey his fate, the minister will donate gold to the king, this is the duty of the minister, if the minister contributes 10,000 and 20,000 returns, the king is not trapped in disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice?" ”
Xiong Huai shook his head and said: "Feiqing knows, Xianqing donated money, and he was anxious about the urgency of the Chu country, how could he not reward him heavily, and the widow made a decision." ”
Although Xiong Huai said the atmosphere, his heart was also dripping blood, and the 10,000 gold was gone, this was 10,000 gold.
However, if it can establish the image of Chu as a country that borrows and repays, it is also worth it.
After all, there is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again!
While the others were still shocked, Xiong Huai said: "Okay, with Xianqing's 10,000 gold, and then the widow will borrow another 90,000 gold and raise 100,000 gold according to Xianqing's example, which should be enough to collect and buy rice." ”
When everyone heard this, they found a small problem, if they could still take out 20,000 gold in Taifu, why did the king of Chu borrow another 90,000 gold, you must know that according to the king of Chu, borrowing money is to pay interest equal to the principal.
Zhaoyu asked, "King, doesn't Taifu still have 20,000 gold?" Why do you need to borrow another 90,000 gold? ”
Xiong Huai smiled: "No, it can't show that the widow is very short of money." ”
The ministers were shocked, what did the king of Chu want to do?
Xiong Huai asked Zhaoju: "Xianqing, there have always been 50,000 soldiers on the Yingdu side. ”
King Chu's train of thought jumped quickly, just now he was still short of money, and now he jumped to the army all of a sudden, Zhao Ju didn't think clearly what King Chu meant for a while, so he could only reply: "Back to the king, that's exactly the case." Yingdu would conscript soldiers into the army every year to maintain the number of 50,000. ”
Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Okay, these 50,000 troops in Yingdu, the widow plans to send 10,000 to the Shimo military camp to cook rice today." ”
Chungmi!?
The army entered the stone mill camp, did they go to the rice?
Definitely not.
Obviously, there is already a stone mill, so the so-called army rice is just a pretense.
Zhaoyu asked, "The king wants to officially start the flour plan?" ”
Xiong Huai explained: "Yes, the widow plans to officially launch flour to the nobles of Chu State at the prince's wedding next month, and you need to prepare in advance for this. ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, Xiong Huai continued: "The widow plans to send all the troops of Yingdu to the Shimo military camp to cook rice after the prince's wedding, and then officially promote flour to all countries when the princes meet two months later. ”
Chen Zhen said: "Great King, use the army to go to the rice, if this news reaches other countries, if there is no reasonable reason, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of other countries, causing spies from various countries to continue to go to the Shimo military camp to investigate." ”
Hearing Chen Zhen's words, everyone nodded, this is indeed a problem.
There are only thieves who are thieves every day, and there are no thieves who are guarded against thieves every day
Xiong Huai said: "There are also people who have considered this aspect, so this year, one of the tasks of these armies is to make rice." As for the reason for the army's snack? The widow also thinks about it, and the widow borrows money for this purpose. ”
"If you can make a monarch who uses the army to make rice, then it must be a big faint monarch." Speaking of this, Xiong Huai smiled obscenely: "The widow had a dream last night, and when he dreamed that the widow was hunting in Yunmeng, a fairy who looked like a fairy fell from the sky. ”
