609 Debt Concerns
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are brothers, but Yuan Shu has always looked down on his brother. Because he is a son-in-law. And Yuan Shao is a concubine.
However, he was reused by the general He Jin, and even had further performances, for example, in the Xiyuan New Army, he had his own forces. This point cannot be compared with Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu also wants to have his own territory, army, and compete with his brother.
In Yuan Shu's view, Cao Cao's army was also useless, because how could there be so much cost to feed the army, although the cost of firearms was amazing, but it was too expensive to do so. In particular, the soldiers gave back the land, which he did not understand Cao Cao's approach. Yuan Shu never understood such a truth, because he was the son of a wealthy family, and naturally he had his own pride, and a person with such a proud place would naturally not do such things, and if he wanted to accomplish such things, he had to adopt some new methods to deal with them, otherwise, they would not have developed to such a point at all.
The demonstration of the Republican Army opened another door to Yuan Shu, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to be able to do such a point, and this seemed to be very simple, as long as he could do such a point, other things could be done very simply, and this was where he was most happy.
Yuan Shu suddenly found that he had found the target he needed, which was not simple, and in such a situation, Yuan Shu was very happy, because he could do a lot of things.
Yuan Shu knew what he had to do. And the one who also knows what he should do is Jian Shuo.
As the new army of Xiyuan, and the eunuch in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, Jian Shuo also knows what he needs to do. Those martial artists don't look down on a disabled person like him, they have their own pride, and in their opinion, Jian Shuo is a disabled person, which is unavoidable no matter what. However, if you want to achieve great things, you still need these martial artists.
It is definitely not a good way to suppress them, the only way is to take some other things to deal with such things, how to deal with them, the answer is very simple, that is, to co-opt, but co-optation still requires money. Jian Shuo had a headache on this issue before, because the military expenses given by Emperor Han Ling were so much, except for the purchase of weapons, there was basically not much left, so it was difficult for Wufu to follow him loyally and follow his orders.
But such things must be done by him, and how to do such things requires him to do more and more other things. It's the best way to woo you. Because most of the martial artists are greedy, they simply can't afford the taste of money. If it weren't for the lure of money, they wouldn't do such a thing at all, that's what they're going to do, and such a thing couldn't be too simple for them.
Fortunately, at this time, the Republican Army promised to lend them money, although they lent out a bunch of paper money, but these paper money can buy some of the military supplies they need from the Republican Army, as well as firearms, the West Park Arsenal because of the lack of necessary technical standards, coupled with the lack of investment, craftsmen work hard, eating is a problem, so that such a group of craftsmen can make better weapons, this is simply impossible, in such a situation, the only way is to procure, The New Army still needs to purchase a large number of firearms from the Republican Army, and at the same time, it also needs to introduce new firearms, such as flintlocks. Without such a weapon, they would not have attained such a point. To accomplish something like this, they have to make more choices.
After purchasing weapons, the military funds issued by the imperial court can be used to buy people's hearts and win over those martial artists to be loyal to themselves, so that the military power is basically in their own hands. As for the question of whether it is reliable, Jian Shuo has never thought about it, what he knows is that borrowing money from the Republican Army has helped them solve a large part of the problem.
Handan, a small meeting of the bank. Such meetings are formed spontaneously by the banks, because they find that their market areas and related states can be solved by people like them, and if they can't achieve such a state, many of their things will not be able to do so. They still have a lot to do to accomplish something like this. The bank meeting is to properly deal with the issue of market development and regional division. After all, if two banks engage in vicious competition, both sides will be on the verge of collapse, and the best way to deal with that is to put some ideas in the meeting. Solve real problems.
It was in such a situation that the bank meeting came about.
"It's not just the imperial court that borrows money, Dong Zhuo is also borrowing money, I heard that Dong Zhuo has formed a cavalry unit of 5,000 people in the Guanzhong area, and they are equipped with all three-barreled firearms. Such firearms cost a lot. This requires a lot of money to support. One banker said.
"yes. The imperial court borrowed money, Dong Zhuo also borrowed money, and many places will borrow money, but the problem is, we have borrowed so much money, how to solve it, these are some military masters, if they borrow money and don't pay it back, we will lose in the end. A middle-aged banker said.
Many people are worried about this, after all, such a thing cannot be solved by simply borrowing money.
Although, they borrow money to turn the money back, for example, through account reversal and other methods, basically a balance can be reached, but the money lent still has to be circulated, the more circulation, the more problems, for example, they have to take risks, if one day they can't get back such a sum of money, what will be the result? It's not just the government that borrows money, but also their commercial banks.
Dong Zhuo, Jian Shuo of the imperial court, and even Cao Cao would hold private talks with commercial banks like them, and both sides would discuss the issue of borrowing money.
The Huns in the north will also borrow money, but the fists of the republican army are hard enough to deter them, but the imperial court, military hooligans like Dong Zhuo, how they deal with it, this is a big contradiction.
"I think we're a little more worried about this question. Our ass doesn't sit there, as for the specific problem, we don't have to think about it, what we should consider is that if we make more profits, you know, in the end, our Republican Army will definitely not suffer, since we don't suffer, such a thing will naturally be beneficial to us, right? A young banker walked up to him and said. The advantage of young people is very good, because they don't have to worry about the risk at all, and as for what the risk will be, he doesn't care about the problem at all, because only in this way can they put their situation in a very favorable situation, and they don't have to carry a lot of baggage to move forward.
The banks controlled by these young people are very powerful, and they are boldly expanding, and this kind of expansion makes them look very worried, but the problem is that their expansion does have a lot of capital to say such things.
"It's also said, if it doesn't work, start a war, anyway, our republican army can fight, and we are not afraid to fight." The bankers set the tone, and they don't have to be afraid of what the other side will do. After all, such a situation is not a threat to them. In such a situation, there are many things they can do, such as expanding with peace of mind, there are many places that need money, and the northern Huns, they are also actively expanding. As for the rest of the place, they don't jump clearly. In short, the more things like this, the better, and even the problems that can be solved will become easier.
In fact, the IRA is also worried about such a problem, although most of the borrowed money ends up in the bank through the circulation of materials, but the problem is that the other side has a large debt, and with the expansion of military strength, these debts are slowly accumulating.
In the process of debt accumulation, the imperial court and Dong Zhuo spend the most money, if they have been so crazy to spend money to expand armaments, in the end they will inevitably accumulate debts, and finally form a huge debt crisis, if they can't recover such debts in time, what will be the result, the first thing the republican army is facing is a huge crisis that they encountered. How to deal with such a crisis has made it even more difficult for them. If you want to solve such a thing, you still need them to deal with some things properly to complete such a state.
But the question is, how can such a situation be accomplished, and that requires them to deal with it in many other ways.
In order to deal with such a situation, the Republican Army decided to send diplomats, their biggest purpose is to supervise the use of funds, as well as the situation of the local economy, in this way, to prevent them from encountering some special circumstances and suffer greater losses, this way is still very reliable, so to speak, to help them solve such problems to the greatest extent, only in this way, can their situation be in a very powerful situation. But this still can't fundamentally solve some of these problems, because such a situation still requires them to solve some of these things from other aspects, because this is a debt problem. Diplomacy alone is still a bit thin, and they need to pay attention to the other side's economic capacity, which the other side has always lacked.
