Wonderful! Wonderful!

Cui Jijian listened to it, and his heart was full of praise.

Even a quarter of an hour ago, he could not have imagined that there was such a profound meaning behind this war.

He knows the inside story, but he and his father don't know how this power is excessive, in fact, no matter how rich this businessman is, it is just a mirage, the key is that without weapons in hand, the power cannot be in their hands, the emperor can take away everything from them at any time, this pig is raised, why don't you kill it.

In fact, all this can only be obtained through war, there is really no second way, the emperor cannot say that it is easy to decentralize power, this power is always linked to strength, the key is to have strength.

Now Cui Jijian finally understands the meaning of Han Yi's words, this war is inevitable, if you don't fight yourself, you have to fight with others.

Having said that, if Han Yi chooses to disintegrate from within, he can still be very righteous, but he chooses to put himself in a despicable and shameless position, the reason why he chooses this is to avoid a civil war, this civil war will definitely kill more people, and it is one hundred percent, the civil war will die all of his own people, and the Tang army is so strong, it will be very cruel to fight, and foreign enemies will also come to fight you, what should be messed up will still be messed up, and the situation will only be worse than now.

If you want to say that Han Yi is despicable and shameless, he is indeed despicable and shameless, but if you think about it carefully, he actually chooses a path with the least loss, as an old man, he will not choose the path of life and death as much as possible, he always adopts a roundabout strategy, and his entire plan can actually be said to be a roundabout policy.

In this way, the merchant is holding the bonds of the imperial court in one hand and the sword in the other, and his status will naturally change qualitatively.

The problem is, you can't help but agree, the treasury is not full now, because Han Yi has been avoiding this treasury from becoming full, but the country is not without money, so many taxes are collected every year, it is impossible to have no money, but the imperial court has always been investing in recent years, engaging in various constructions, maintaining rivers and building roads, which has a huge return, if this war does not happen, it will not take a few years, and as soon as the Taiyuan plan and the construction in the city are over, the treasury will be filled immediately, and the imperial court still has copper reserves, But issuing vouchers now will only depreciate copper, which is counterproductive.

This is just for this moment, but at that time, the country's development was very good, the four seas were leveled, all the vassal states on the side surrendered, and there was no need to reserve too many things, so they could engage in construction to their heart's content, and the dream of Emperor Yang of Sui was completed, in fact, it was to integrate the market of the Central Plains, so that it could be exchanged materially, the fruits of Guangzhou were transported to Chang'an, and the agricultural tools of Chang'an were transported to Guangzhou, each taking what he needed, and the people's lives were getting better and better, and the country was getting stronger and stronger.

But I didn't expect a battle of this scale to happen, in fact, if you want to fight with Tubo, it is enough to deal with, because the local government still has enough reserves in recent years, but a battle of this scale has led to the reserves of the local government directly becoming local war reserves, and the big granary of the land of Bashu was originally able to support Chang'an and Tuyuhun, but now it can only be used to protect itself, and Wang Fangyi's army is all supported by the granary of Bashu.

Moreover, in the past, the imperial court was temporarily conscripted into labor, but the social structure has changed, and there is no need for temporary conscription, which is too slow, too heavy, and too small in output to meet the needs of this war.

And Wu Meiniang actually knows better than Cui Jijian in her heart, in this way, the social status of the merchant will be unprecedentedly improved, if the merchant supports her at that time, then she may really become the emperor, this is really not a joke.

Do you want to say that Han Yi cheated on her?

Han Yi told her so early on!

No matter how aggrieved Wu Meiniang was in her heart, she could only agree, if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to play.

"Shang Shuling, please stay."

After the meeting, just as everyone was about to leave, Wu Meiniang suddenly spoke.

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and sat back again.

Cui Jijian and Wang Xuandao just glanced at each other, and then walked out.

After they left, Wu Meiniang looked at Han Yi and said, "You can't be so ruthless." As she spoke, she added, "Don't tell me any plans." ”

Han Yi smiled: "Then I don't have anything to say, I didn't deceive you, the process is like this, otherwise, do you think that your group of Confucian students will support you to sit on it?" If a businessman doesn't have power, nothing you want will happen. ”

Wu Meiniang said worriedly: "But in this case, can you not guarantee that the merchant will not have a different heart?" ”

Han Yi said: "This is the reason why I chose the queen, if it is the crown prince, it is completely possible, I don't deny this, but will the queen be willing to be controlled by businessmen?" Moreover, with your wisdom and ability, the queen is enough to deal with the merchants, so the power will still be in your hands, and this will not change, but the merchants and I have to prevent you from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and we must also have some self-defense things. I believe that the queen should feel my sincerity, as long as you win this battle, your position will be very stable, so should the queen also show some sincerity now, so that I feel safe. ”

Wu Meiniang was silent for a long time before she said, "Don't thank me, you earned it yourself." ”

Her cooperation with Han Yi does not have the problem of up and down, but equality, she has got a lot of things now, and even the military power is in her hands, so of course Han Yi must also have some guarantees, everyone must rise together, otherwise, if you unload the mill and kill the donkey, then Han Yi can only wait for death.

Han Yi smiled: "No, this is our joint effort. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled bitterly: "The funny thing is that I didn't know that my efforts would lead to such a process." ”

Han Yi said: "But the result will not change. ”

.....．

.....．

To issue treasury bonds, you first have to go to those rich businessmen and big farmers to endorse them.

Because without their support, it would not have been possible to issue Treasury bonds.

Today, the conference room of the Guanzhong Hotel was overcrowded, and many famous and wealthy businessmen could only stand, because all the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an came.

"Brother Han, if you have any orders, just say it, we will definitely fully support the imperial court."

"Not bad! Tubo wants our lives this time, and we will never be arrested. ”

"The queen is right, such as a country with no credit like Tibet, should not exist in this world at all, and they must be eliminated this time."

....．

Before Han Yidu could speak, these businessmen began to shout, they knew very well that they could only live a better life under the current system of the Tang Dynasty, if Tubo came, even if they were not killed, their wealth would be taken away, and they really supported this system in their hearts.

When they shouted that their mouths were dry, Han Yi swept his eyes and smiled slightly: "What are you doing here?" Is the sky falling? ”

Everyone just felt inexplicable and looked at Han Yi blankly.

Han Yi said: "You have to understand, if you want to win this battle, first of all, the Central Plains can't be messed up, if they take everything to the court to fight, then what will happen to the Central Plains?" And what about the workers? Don't be so impulsive, okay? Calm down, as long as we are united, nothing is unfair, and the GDP of Tibet in a year is less than one percent of ours, do we need to be so afraid? We haven't made any efforts yet. ”

Qian Dafang asked, "That... What does Brother Han mean by this, let's continue to do business, regardless of the war? ”

If Han Yi were to say that, they would really do it, because they believed in Han Yi too much.

Han Yi said angrily: "I mean that everyone should work together, don't be rash, not to say that you watch the fire from the other side." ”

The more businessmen listened, the more confused they became!

"Brother Han, what do you mean?" He Ruohan scratched his head and said.

Han Yi said: "The imperial court will issue war treasury bonds. ”

Yuwen Xiumi subconsciously said: "The treasury bonds issued last time have not been paid off!" ”

He just had the habitual thinking of a businessman, because he planned to donate very, very much money to the imperial court to fight.

Han Yi said: "I haven't paid it off because some of the treasury bonds have not yet matured, but they have all been repaid, and they are even with interest, and the credit value of the imperial court is still very high." ”

The last time it hit the South China Sea, the imperial court used weapons to offset part of the national debt.

Dou Heng hurriedly said: "Young Master Yuwen, don't say it yet, listen to Brother Han." ”

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "The imperial court will issue 50 million yuan of treasury bonds." ”

When everyone heard this amount, they couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air, this is not 5,000 guan, but 50 million guan, don't you say it so lightly, okay, it seems that we can really take out 50 million guan.

Han Yi continued: "Treasury bonds can be purchased in any form, preferably with vouchers, and the imperial court will use the money exchanged for treasury bonds to buy your materials to ensure that everything is carried out under commercial rules, and at the same time, the imperial court will use taxes and minerals as guarantees." ”

As he spoke, he gestured.

The subordinates beside him immediately handed the documents to the businessmen present.

Han Yi continued: "This is the repayment plan planned by the imperial court, and it is based on the lowest tax in the future, which means that the treasury can guarantee the repayment on time in the worst case. Why did the imperial court do this, you also said that you are willing to support the imperial court at all costs, but the imperial court will not let you do this, the reason is very simple, that is, the imperial court must first ensure that our Central Plains is not chaotic, even in the most critical moment, the imperial court must try to ensure everyone's interests.

In this world, it is difficult to find buyers for the goods you produce, that is to say, your inventory, your output, are far greater than the demand in the market, because a large amount of manpower will be transferred to the front, and trade will be stopped, if this continues, you will lay off workers, workers will be unemployed, and it may directly cause a crisis in the Central Plains. Now the only buyer who can buy your goods is the imperial court, and it just so happens that the imperial court also needs your goods.

So, it's not a relief, it's not an order, it's a cooperation, it's a win-win deal. It's just that the imperial court can't come up with so much money for the time being, and can only use the method of issuing treasury bonds, but if you can get through a difficult situation, after the situation stabilizes, the imperial court's annual tax revenue is fixed, and it is absolutely capable of repaying your debts, plus interest, you will definitely earn, and the imperial court will also earn. ”

"My Yuan family is willing to support the plan of the imperial court."

After Yuan Xiu read the agreement, he took the lead in expressing his position.

"I promise."

"We promise."

....．

Originally, in order to protect themselves, for their own interests, and even to be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, he had already planned to donate to the imperial court free of charge, but he didn't expect that the imperial court would also give such a reasonable and preferential plan, so that they could still make a profit from it, which was much better than they expected, and they had no reason to refuse at all, I was going to give, if you want to borrow it, then of course there is nothing to say.

And Han Yi is too right, because there are wars everywhere, the market is suddenly shrinking, and no one can deal with it, and they can't sell a large number of goods, and they can only sell them to the imperial court.

The only risk of this transaction is that the court will not repay the money in the future, but if the court is finished, they will also be finished, and this does not need to be considered for too long.

No one refused, and everyone was willing to guarantee the national debt of the imperial court, that is, promised to buy a large number of national debt.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Since everyone has agreed, then in other words, the imperial court will become your biggest buyer, of course you should respect this big buyer and produce goods according to the buyer's needs." The imperial court has just passed the bill, which will be promulgated soon, in short, it will open merchants to produce weapons, produce all war materials, and allow merchants to develop more advanced weapons, and soon the imperial court will announce the demand, and those who are interested can go to the household department to bid, and the household department will immediately select the most suitable object to cooperate. ”

Yuan Xiu was surprised: "We can produce weapons? ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Because the imperial court doesn't want to use hard labor, it hopes to meet the needs of the war without breaking the rules." ”

Yuwen Xiumi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "What about the car?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "What do you say? But it's not a luxury carriage that you want, it's an ordinary wagon. ”

Yuwen Xiumi said: "That's even more of a problem. ”

Han Yi nodded and said: "Another point, in view of the success of the South China Sea, in view of the current situation, the imperial court will allow those businessmen who want to contribute to the country to recruit troops and voluntarily participate in the war, this process is the same as going to the South China Sea, first go to the imperial court to register, the imperial court will give you a certain number of recruitment rights according to your situation, and after recruitment, the imperial court will arrange it uniformly, in addition, when the army recruits reaches a certain number, the number of this army will be named after whom, imagine always, If you recruit and fight a beautiful battle, everyone will know about you, and that's definitely the best publicity. It can be regarded as a kind of reward for your gratuitous help from the imperial court! ”
