Zhang Ming went to another county to take a look.

In this county, the situation is similar, and many people take the initiative to buy treasury bonds.

In the evening, Zhang Ming clarified his identity and checked the situation of the money bank.

Here, a total of 600,000 copper coins and 50,000 silver coins were allocated.

The copper coins sold out on the same day.

At this speed, Zhang Ming was also unexpected.

After the inspection, Zhang Ming decided to go back to Beiping City first to understand the overall situation.

This time out, Zhang Ming learned a lot of things that he didn't understand.

When he came back, Tian Feng and Chen Gong reported a good news.

"Lord, this auction has sold a total of more than 17 million, which is a big deal."

All of a sudden, there was more than 17 million more money at his disposal, which made Tian Feng very happy.

"Is the data from other counties coming up?"

Zhang Ming didn't care about the auction of the shops in the city.

He was more concerned about the sale of government bonds.

No one in the cabinet could answer.

Tian Feng said: "There are several counties in the newspaper, but the data has not been counted, and they have been busy with other things in recent days. ”

This is true, and the cabinets of the several counties that reported it did not read it.

It's not that they don't do their job properly, it's that they don't pay attention to the issuance of this treasury bond and think that they can't collect a few dollars, so they naturally focus on what they think is more important.

"Okay, give me those reports first."

Tian Feng went out first and asked the subordinate officials to bring the report, and after the report was brought, it went directly to Zhang Ming's hands.

Zhang Ming looked at a few photos and frowned.

Seeing that Zhang Ming's face was not quite right, he thought that this data was too little.

So, he said: "Lord, this sale has not been a few days away, and if you publicize it in the newspaper a few more times, you should be able to raise some funds." ”

Zhang Ming looked at the cattle in front of him with strange eyes.

None of them had seen the report, and they were all busy.

Tian Feng was mainly busy with financial matters, and he needed to deal with issues such as pensions, military expenses, etc., just after the war.

And also to preside over the auction.

Xi Zhicai has a lot of things, recruiting recruits to train the army, etc., and it is also necessary to collect the military information of Cao Cao and Bingzhou.

Chen Gong's pressure is not small, he needs to select more talents and send them to Xuzhou, Jizhou and other places.

These newly acquired territories need to be replaced by their own officials, and all the counties under his rule, the officials need to understand, and the workload is very huge.

Fu Zhu and Guo Jia were both assigned specific tasks, and the pressure was not light.

"Sure enough, there is a big problem, and we must immediately issue a document to rectify the previous way of working."

Several people were shocked after hearing what Zhang Ming said, what is the situation, is something wrong?

Xi Zhicai asked: "Lord, is there something wrong with corruption and perversion of the law underneath, but it's not right, it can't be seen from the report." ”

Zhang Ming put a few reports on the table, then put his fingers on the table and said: "The amount of money collected is more than the treasury bonds we issued, things can't do this, I'm afraid the first batch has been powerless to change, and the second batch must be rectified." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, what is this, the first batch has only been sent out for a few days, and Zhang Ming is worried about the second batch?

I don't know how much of this first batch will be sold.

These reports are all reported from relatively close counties, and far away, and it takes time for the national bonds to be sent over, and it also takes time for the reports to be delivered.

"Is it true that someone is taking money indiscriminately? How can there be more? ”

Chen Gong felt that this was a big deal, and it was not too much to even send officials to arrest people.

Chen Gong said: "The protector general must be strictly investigated, and if this continues, it will shake the foundation of our rule." ”

Chen Gong felt that this was a big problem, but Zhang Ming knew what was going on.

At this time, Tian Feng felt that something was wrong, he knew that the people who came back were some places that were relatively close to Beiping City.

The quality of officials in these places and so on should be able to withstand the test.

"Lord, what the hell is going on?"

Zhang Ming glanced at them, seeing the doubts on their faces, so he said: "The national debts in these places have been sold, and this county gave them 800,000 yuan, but it turned out that there were 870,000 yuan." ”

Zhang Ming took out another report and said: "This county also has an increase of 56,000. ”

"This county, there are sixty-three more..."

"Wait."

Fu Zhu felt that something was wrong, and he asked loudly: "General Protector, you mean that these counties have sold out all the national debts?" ”

It was only then that everyone reacted.

They all think that this is a periodic report, a report on the current situation.

Who knows, this is a direct submission of tasks.

"Of course, I think they've done their job, they've sold out of the national debt."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, several people were not happy, but were deeply worried.

Guo Jia said: "General Protector, will this be forcibly apportioned by local officials, this is not a good thing. ”

The same is true of the doubts.

Zhang Ming smiled and said, "I don't think so, because they don't have to pay at all." ”

Zhang Ming told them in detail about the situation of his investigation.

Everyone was dumbfounded, it turned out to be like this.

Tian Feng said excitedly: "The people's will is available, the people's heart is available." ”

Fu Zhu fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "I'm afraid that the ancient sages can't do this." ”

Yes, it is difficult to get the people's money out, but Zhang Ming feels that it is even more difficult to let the people have money in their hands.

"This is to hide the wealth from the people, we spend a lot of money, we can build homes, but also make the people rich."

Zhang Ming took the opportunity to give his cabinet a lesson in economics.

The crowd was amazed.

After everyone digested the information brought by Zhang Ming, he said: "These problems must be rectified immediately, and the national bonds must be handed over to the people." ”

"In addition, most of them have no concept of bonds, thinking that they are a piece of waste paper, so they should increase publicity and tell them that they can pay it in a year."

Zhang Ming said a few questions in a row, asking them to study the rectification plan, and then send it to the counties.

After talking about the issue of national debt, Zhang Ming wants to start an important topic.

"Xi Zhicai, how are our military food reserves? Can it sustain a big war? ”

"My lord, our current military rations are enough for the whole army for more than half a year."

That's enough, this is the grain in reserve, and it can't be used in general.

In normal times, you can buy it nearby, and the grain and grass that is raised and stored locally is generally used when there is a war.

"Okay, increase purchases, now that we have money and food, take this opportunity, I want to go to war."

Everyone is in a hurry, Zhang Ming is going to war, he and Cao Cao have just ended a month, and they are still recovering, and Zhang Ming is about to go to war at this time.

But everyone was not frightened, Zhang Ming is not an unreasonable person, if he is not sure, Zhang Ming will not start a war indiscriminately, he can endure it for so long before.
