Chapter 272 Million Public Debt

"Well said!" Hu Xueyan immediately replied: "Wang Xuexuan's mansion said that he would rather die at the hands of red thieves than at the hands of Hunan people!" ”

The so-called "Hunan people" refer to the Hunan army group of Zeng Guofan, and He Guiqing's group has historically followed this principle to fight the Hunan army to the end, especially in the struggle for territory in Zhejiang.

First Hu Xingren was in charge of Zhejiang, and then only worked for a year, and was driven away by He Guiqing's group, and then the Hunan army group launched Luo Dianzun to dominate Zhejiang, as a result, Li Xiucheng besieged Wei to save Zhao with 7,000 elite soldiers to attack Hangzhou, Zhang Yuliang led more than 10,000 troops to save Zhejiang, but when he went to Huzhou, he was left by Wang Youling, and finally Luo Dianzun could only die in battle.

As a result, Wang Youling was replaced with Wang Youling Fu Zhejiang, Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian entered Zhejiang in a big way, and the Hunan army used the same method to dismantle Taiwan, Wang Youling could only put all his hopes on Li Yuandu's An Yue army, and the result was still a city broken and died, and the struggle between the two sides continued after Zeng Guofan stabbed He Guiqing for the last time.

Hu Xueyan followed Liu Chang's meaning and said: "Check, next is to capture the two mansions of Ningshao?" ”

Liu Chang nodded: "The gold department is set, of course I can take the two mansions of Ningshao!" ”

Hu Xueyan smiled: "Ningshao and Ningshao Mansions are known as the land of fish and rice, but there are no strong soldiers to defend bravely, and the literary atmosphere is too prosperous, the inspection will definitely be able to go down in the near future, but if Xuexuan Mansion asks He Zhongcheng to send troops to the south to help, it will probably take a little more effort." ”

Liu Chang is not afraid: "Those who can compete with me now are Zhang Guoliang in Daying, Bao Chao and Duolonga in the Hunan Army, and ...... in Heaven."

He didn't say this, Hu Xueyan already understood: "I can be the master of Xuexuan Mansion and He Zhongcheng on behalf of Xuexuan Mansion, although the two mansions of Ningshao are handed over to the inspection, are you satisfied with the inspection of these two mansions?" ”

"People's hearts are not satisfied, they have Shu, and they look back at Long!" Liu Chang replied: "Vested Ning Shao, look back at Hangjiahu!" ”

If Ningshao is the land of fish and rice, then Hangjiahu can be said to be the richest essence of the whole China, just take a mansion out, its financial resources can supply tens of thousands of troops, Hu Xueyan nodded: "But with the current strength, after taking the two mansions of Ningshao, you have to operate slowly for a few months!" ”

"The capture of Hangjia Lake is a matter of six years!" Liu Chang has already agreed: "Since He Futai and Wangfutai give me face, then I will not set foot in Hangjiahu Lake today, but He Futai and Wang Futai must also persevere, and don't be copied by the Hunan people." ”

After capturing Ningshao, then most of Zhejiang is in the hands of Liu Chang, so it is difficult to say whether He Guiqing and Wang Youling can keep their current position, but Hu Xueyan dares to make a guarantee: "I think the inspection point is a very strategic Tianzhong material, this Jinliangfu is very well operated, it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of more elites within the year, as long as Hunan people do not enter Zhejiang this year and next year, the overall situation can be determined!" ”

Hu Xueyan's meaning is obvious, Liu Chang should not force people too much, and defeat He Guiqing, then the tentacles of the Hunan army will reach to Zhejiang, then Liu Chang's opponent will change from the weak Zhejiang army to the Hunan army that can fight: "Therefore, Xuexuan Futai and Genyunzhongcheng also have some to do with it, so Xueyan is here to ask for a future for them." ”

"What a future."

"He Genyun is the most intelligent person, he is a good choice for the prime minister, Wang Xuexuan's mansion is the holy hand of urging the department, and he can take over He Genyunzhongcheng's position."

This price made Liu Chang surprised.

He Guiqing was the prime minister of the new dynasty, Wang Youling was appointed governor of Zhejiang, and the two hesitant demotes now thought that Liu Chang would get such a high promise here, which was too high.

"Guan Jian has to look at their performance, if they are now focused on the Hongjun, then He Genyun is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in this dynasty, and Wang Youling is too smart, and the military affairs are not his strengths, and he can't bear the duties of the governor of Zhejiang, but the political envoy of Zhejiang is suitable for him." …,

This is almost a suitable position, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang seems to be heavy, but the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is only in charge of Fujian's affairs most of the time, and Liu Chang has no plan to run Fujian for the time being, He Guiqing voted over, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is mostly a false position.

As for Wang Youling's evaluation, it is also a very appropriate statement, Wang Youling has a hand in finance and officialdom, but in terms of military deployment, he is not a talent who commands the army.

What's more, it's just the contact between Liu Chang and Hu Xueyan now, what kind of idea these two have, and what kind of arrangement will be made in the future, it's hard to say, Liu Chang can only fulfill his promise.

Hu Xueyan was not disappointed, he thanked Liu Chang instead: "It is enough for Governor He Guigen and Wang Youling's Mansion to have this future, after I go back, I will definitely persuade them to take a good path, but Guan Jian will see how the inspection point runs the Ningshao Second Mansion!" ”

Ningshao's two mansions are not a big problem militarily, but in the construction of base areas, it is a big problem, if Liu Chang runs these two mansions into the iron bucket of the Hongjun army, then with the financial resources of Ningshao and the two mansions, it is enough to compete in the world.

However, as the Taiping army did after entering Zhejiang, it abused the people's power, leading to a rebellion, and even to the extent that it took seven or eight months to conquer a small village, so Liu Chang and Hu Xueyan's promise was nothing.

Liu Chang agreed with Hu Xueyan's judgment: "In order to run the Ningshao Second Mansion, I have been preparing for several months, although there will be casualties and requisition, but I believe that my Hongjun will be able to eat pot pulp everywhere." ”

"It's one thing to eat pot pulp!" Hu Xueyan is now talking about personal business: "It's one thing to run a place, I look at the inspection point residence, it is very simple, and there are guards around me, but there are only a dozen people, so I know that the inspection point can be successful, but how long can it take to achieve great things, it's another thing, and now I have a small business, and I am willing to cooperate with the inspection point." ”

"What business?"

Hu Xueyan immediately replied: "I want to take over a batch of public bonds!" Give it to me at a 40% discount on the face value. ”

Yang Changmei next to her had already spoken: "Check, now the market price of Taizhou is already fifty percent five, if you give him a four-fold discount, he will turn around and throw it to the exchange in Taizhou, and our public bond market will cross." ”

Hu Xueyan smiled: "I said that I want to include a batch of public bonds, of course, it has nothing to do with the exchange in Taizhou, check rest assured, the destination of this batch of public bonds is Hangzhou and Shanghai, just please check it for convenience, after taking Hangzhou Mansion, the officials and gentry who have this batch of public bonds in their hands are all good people who are loyal to the inspection." ”

This is almost the function of a talisman, using Hu Xueyan as a person to promote this batch of public bonds, presumably many officials and gentry will buy it, and even some high-ranking officials in Zhejiang Province can buy a batch as a follow-up after the siege of Hangzhou.

Over there, Yang Changmei disagreed with this judgment: "But there will always be a batch of public bonds that will flow back to Taizhou Mansion, so what should I do?" That's a profit of 10 pips! ”

Hu Xueyan smiled: "You can issue a batch of public bonds for me, and see how many public bonds flow back to Taizhou when the time comes...... No, it's Ningbo. ”

Liu Chang smiled: "You know a lot. ”

"Feng Ershao worked so hard for the inspection, I must have got a lot of benefits, I heard that he got the patent right for the land telegraph line, but it was not enough for him to work so hard, I estimate that after the Ningbo Mansion is laid, there is a chance that this exchange will be moved to Ningbo Mansion."

Liu Chang responded, acknowledging Hu Xueyan's guess, and then asked: "Your plan is good, if I have one or two hundred thousand taels of silver in my hand, it will be more convenient to run Ningshao, and the wealth of Shanghai and Hangzhou, how many tens of thousands can you underwrite for me?" ”

"I want a three-year public bond of 1 million silver yuan, with an annual interest rate of 7 percent, not counting compound interest." As soon as Hu Xueyan opened his mouth, he was a big deal with a million amounts: "Give me a four-fifty discount, before underwriting, I will take 90,000 silver yuan out as a deposit, and after underwriting half of it, I will take out 150,000 silver yuan, and after the underwriting is completed, the balance will be paid off at one time." But Yang Changmei had already found out Hu Xueyan's weakness: "Check, this is equivalent to buying a million silver yuan of public bonds with 90,000 silver yuan, and when the time comes, he will lose at most 90,000 silver yuan, but we will issue an extra 1 million silver yuan of public bonds." ”

Liu Chang was full of confidence: "Okay! I promise you that I don't need you to hand over the guarantee of 90,000 silver yuan, but I will hand over 1 million silver yuan of public debt to you at that time! ”

He is full of confidence in the name Hu Xueyan, although in this time and space, Hu Xueyan's business is only hundreds of thousands of silver yuan, and his own assets are only tens of thousands of silver yuan, but Hu Xueyan can also create a career in this time and space.

Hu Xueyan has been shocked by Liu Chang's bearing.

Yang Changmei is right, he has made any money in this business, at most it is just a guarantee for the loss of 90,000 silver yuan, but if this million public bonds are sold in the Ningbo public bond market, how can he get the 90,000 silver yuan back.

However, if he succeeds in underwriting the public debt of one million silver yuan, then he will be one of the biggest financiers of the entire Hongjun, and the significance of such a business is political, not in the profit of two or three hundred thousand silver yuan.

Therefore, he knelt down for Liu Chang again: "The magnanimity of the inspection makes Xue Yanxin extremely broken, Xue Yan is willing to die for the inspection point, and there is no danger of returning to Ningbo in the slightest of these millions of public debts." ”

Liu Chang asked: "It's just that when do you want this public debt?" ”

"After the inspection points capture Ningbo Mansion...... No, it's after the inspection mastered the Ningbo Mansion. ”

Liu Chang asked a little strangely: "Is there any difference between capturing Ningbo Mansion and mastering Ningbo Mansion in this inspection?" ”

Hu Xueyan immediately said: "The inspection point is a very strategic talent, presumably you can see the Ningbo Mansion Huayang Miscellaneous Place, is one of the five treaty ports, such a Ningbo Port fell into the inspection point, although there are hundreds of benefits, there are also all kinds of harm, presumably it will cause a lot of disputes, with Xueyan's idea, the inspection point must have a better way to deal with the problem of Ningbo Port." ”

Liu Chang had already thought about this question for a long time, and he had a strategy in his heart, but at this time, he asked Hu Xueyan with a smile: "Then what do you say I should do with Ningbo Port?" ”
