Eighty-seven: How to borrow money
At this time, Shangguan Mingrui said: "Second sister, the situation is like this, King Yan is willing to lend us 2 million stone of grain, which will be repaid in three years, and the interest is 5 li, and King Han is willing to lend us 1.5 million stone of grain, and the interest is 8 li, and it will be paid off in two years, Goguryeo's words...... They are willing to lend us 1.2 million stone of grain, which will be repaid in two years, and the interest is six to five...... Therefore, should we find a loan with less interest and then borrow separately, so that the pressure on us to cross the country will be reduced? ”
"Patchwork?"
Shangguan Ziying smiled: "You have been doing things with me for so long, why haven't you seen through this truth?" ”
"Huh?"
Shangguan Mingrui looked at Shangguan Ziying puzzled, and asked, "Second sister, has a conclusion?" ”
"That's nature!"
Shangguan Ziying said with a smile: "The grain we need at present is 2 million stones, although King Yan is rich, the interest rate is a bit high...... However, if he wants to transport grain from the sea, he will also bypass Weihaiwei, and he will definitely pass through Qidi, if the Qi army will intercept it from the Bohai Sea, then this effort will be wasted, but this is also the closest one to us so far, he will open his mouth...... You tell him that we can borrow him, not only that, but whoever we borrow will buy the swords of their ships, and explain the situation to these three families, and see who has made more concessions, and we will only borrow them from the other family, and in addition, you go and spread the news that we are going to buy warships, and see what the three of them have to say! ”
"Well, it's easy! However, the ships of the Yan Kingdom are too bulky, and the draft is large, so they can only fight at sea, and if they want to be in the river, they will only look extremely bulky, and the Korean ships are mainly for the purpose of naval warfare in order to guard against Goguryeo...... However, far away on the other side of the ocean, the shipbuilding technology of Yamatai is comparable to that of our Middle Earth, and it is much stronger than these three in terms of speed and attack, and it is rumored that their ironclad ship fought against South Korea back then, and the main ship resisted three Shenwu cannons before being sunk, which shows that its defense is not small! ”
Shangguan Mingrui mentioned the ships of Yamatai, his eyes were full of envy, in fact, there are shipyards in Yueguo, but some exquisite appliances are difficult to buy, some gears, instruments, that are precision instruments controlled by the imperial court, if it is not for this, Shangguan Ziying does not need to worry about this, although the war has not yet risen to the level of naval warfare and water warfare, but for the plotter, if you can't anticipate the enemy, why is it in phase?
At present, although the general Situ Qingyun is aggressive in Hefei, but the stamina is insufficient, the reason why they decided to fight across the Yangtze River to take the initiative to launch a fierce offensive against Yunguo is to occupy the opportunity, even if they retreat, it is better than fighting on the mainland, as for the surrounding Zhejiang area, there are not many garrisons, basically as long as they can lay Hefei, they can establish fortifications here, and send troops to capture the rich Zhejiang and Fujian respectively, when the time comes, they can cross the world, let the Yue country rise again!
And after all kinds of temptations, most of the army of Yunguo is used to defend against the northern barbarians, the defenders of the south of the Yangtze River are vulnerable, and their soldiers and horses of the Yue country are all looking forward to the wind everywhere, in fact, Shangguan Ziying urgently needs ships and has a relationship, that is, she also wants to open up a front, choose a capable person to take the waterway from Jinling to capture the land in Anhui Province along the way, so as a retreat after attacking Hefei snobbery, and a barrier to resist the attack of Yunguo!
Shangguan Ziying's favorite person is Shangguan Ziyu, but unfortunately his brainless seems to be not available to her, and if she goes out in person, Jinling will definitely be in trouble, so it is also very difficult, but the most important thing at the moment is to solve the ship problem, although their parents have been planning for more than 20 years to do things today, but nominally they occupy Xuzhou, and even the whole province of Jiangsu, but in fact they can only affect some cities around the Yangtze River, and their territory is currently from Xuzhou in the north, Anqing in the south, and Hefei in the west, As far east as Zhenjiang, as well as some cities along the way, the actual influence is far less than boasted outside, but as long as there is a boat, everything will turn the situation around!

I saw Shangguan Ziying pondering for a moment and said, "Evil Horse Terrace??? It's been a long time since I've heard the name of this country, and isn't there a civil war on that broken island? Not dead yet?? ”
"Nope"
Shangguan Mingrui said: "Actually, I also heard from the envoys sent to Goguryeo that the Yamatai Kingdom said that they found the child left by their Amaterasu God in the people, and then respected that person as the king, and then it was said that the king could also control the flames, in short, it was very godly, and then the war between the Sunset family and the Oda family was one-sided......"
"Controlling the flames?"
Shangguan Ziying pouted and smiled, and condensed a dark blue ghost fire in his hand with internal force, and then blew lightly, and the flames swirled up in the room, like a candle around the cold, and then couldn't help but quip: "Are they all idiots?" If you control the flames, you can be revered as a great god, which makes me want to leave this position of a broken woman and go to Yamatai to be a god...... They are really ignorant, but I have to say that the people of Yamatai have a set of tools, but even if we do business with them, I'm afraid we won't get too many benefits, you better talk to Goguryeo, 2 million stone grain, reduce the interest rate to zero to two, pay it off in five years, if you can, we will buy fifty big ships from their country! 20 small boats, 30 building boats...... With these, it is almost enough to dominate the Jiangnan generation! ”
"Huh?"
Shangguan Mingrui said puzzledly: "Second sister, didn't you listen to what I said just now?" It's better to borrow money from a fool's point of view, and it's better to put things together than to get a lot of wool, so that we don't have to be three points shorter when we meet people...... In my opinion, it is better for us to borrow grain from King Yan and Goguryeo, borrow one million each, and also keep the interest of King Yan down to the same level as Goguryeo, what do you think? ”
"So, you're destined to be just an errand runner!"
Shangguan Ziying sighed while shaking the feather fan: "Borrowing money is such a thing, if you borrow less, you are his grandson, and if you borrow more, he is your grandson!" Why should we borrow separately? All borrowed from Goguryeo, two million, and also pressed the interest! If they don't agree, they will postpone the payment to five years! ”
In the end, Shangguan Ziying made a decision, and asked Shangguan Mingrui to continue to send people to negotiate with Goguryeo, in fact, the most satisfactory ship buyer seller is Yama Taiguo, and now the imperial court's Shenwu cannon is expensive, and there are only less than 30 guns in the whole world so far, and one of its cannonballs is the full force of the upper earth-level great heaven master, but your earth-level master is estimated to be half tired and half-dead after hitting this overwhelming blow, but people only need to load the cannonballs!
"Hey, it's really natural to have Longwangshu, even I can't avoid vulgar ......"
Shangguan Ziying laughed at himself, and continued to be busy with the affairs at hand, it was still early at this time, just after the afternoon, Xu Madness went to the inn where he settled to eat and had nothing to do, so he casually played a pot of wine, ready to go to the Qinhuai River, to appreciate the customs and customs here, but even during the day, the boats on the river are constant, Jinling is rich, people prefer luxury enjoyment, it can be said that half of Jiangsu's tax revenue comes from commercial tax, not agricultural tax, not to mention that this place is rich in silk, farmers are mostly mulberry farmers, Because raising silkworms is much easier than farming, and you don't have to work tirelessly to farm in the field, so even if you are just an idler in the village, I am afraid that you will have an income of 25 taels of silver a year (PS: Note, how much is a tael of silver worth, many people have discussed. Nowadays, many people actually have no idea. Especially in the contemporary TV series as an extreme, there are two steamed buns and a bowl of soup for 5 taels of silver, a young grandmother loses 10 million taels of silver in a gamble and other absurd plots, showing how ignorant and unserious the current Chinese creators are, you must know that the annual income of the treasury during the Wanli period only reached 2 million taels, and it is also a figure that only has a rich treasury income after Zhang Juzheng's reform. Even masters like Jin Yong don't seem to have conducted in-depth research on the monetary value of the silver taels. Everyone should remember that Guo Jing met Huang Rong for the first time and was slaughtered by her, and the result was "a checkout in a while, a total of 1927 yuan and 4 cents". If you look at some ancient books, you can find that the monetary value of one or two pieces of silver is actually quite high. )
