"That's right." Zhang Yu saw that Zhang Zhao was stunned, so he said: "Ask the people of Jiangdong to borrow, you know, they are rich." ”

Nowadays, Jiangdong has a large population, with a population of 30 or 40 million, and Zhang Yu cannot count the specific number.

Hundreds of thousands of people are added every month, and the size of the population is growing all the time, and it is really difficult to count.

With such a large population, it is enough for each person to borrow a copper coin for a while, although it is impossible for everyone to borrow, but as long as one tenth of the people are willing to borrow, they can help Zhang Yu tide over the difficulties at that time.

Zhang Yu's idea was not imagined out of thin air, there were too many national bonds in later generations, and the people actively subscribed for them.

Now, Zhang Yu is learning this.

Zhang Zhao still didn't have confidence, and then said a little weakly: "Lord, you have a big face, if you can borrow me 10 million dollars, I will be comfortable for a few days." ”

Seeing Zhang Zhao's appearance, Zhang Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'll borrow it, don't worry, I'll borrow tens of millions of dollars for you with my face." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao to go back first, while he was locked in the study alone to study.

The decree on borrowing money was issued in his hands.

1. Borrowing money from the private sector in the name of the General's Office, based on the certificate issued by the General's Office, with an interest rate of 10%, promising to return it within one year, and using taxes as collateral.

2. Entrust it to the county-level government at all levels.

3. Governments at all levels are not allowed to borrow money on a compulsory basis, and the principle is voluntary.

4. Embezzlement is a felony.

Five......

One after another decrees were issued, and Zhang Yu did not borrow money in the name of the Taishou of the Jiangdong counties, but in the name of the general's mansion.

Zhang Yu is a second-rank general, of course, he has his own general's mansion, but he uses it together with his own Taishou Mansion.

Zhang Yu also wants to use the identity of the state pastor, but in his official position, he is still just a Taishou.

If you want to borrow money from all your own territory, you can only use it in the name of the General's Office, that is, in his personal name.

As for whether he can repay the borrowed money, he is still very confident.

He has so much land, so many workshops, and overseas is also very profitable, so he is not worried that he will not be able to get it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the gap was too big this time, he would not be short of money, and there would be no need to borrow money from the people.

Zhang Yu issued a decree, and the fast horse radiated to the government at all levels.

Orders were directly issued to the counties, and the counties quickly organized people to go to the villages and towns, and the villages and towns also organized people to carry out propaganda.

"Oh, Lord Zhang is short of money, Cuihua, hurry up and help out and take out the money from the cellar."

"I still have more than thirty copper coins here, and I don't know if Master Zhang will be too few."

"Master Zhang is all for us, if you can help, you must help."

"Our family's ten acres of land were all given by Master Zhang, and now he is short of money, of course he has to help."

"I'm going to sell a few chickens and make up more."

"It's just more than 120 copper coins, too little, go to the town tomorrow to sell something."

"Old man, take out all the family's pension, the tiger is dead, and we can't use it."

When the decree was issued to a village, the villagers responded positively.

Some of the people who were under Zhang Yu's rule a few years ago have accumulated thousands to hundreds of copper coins in a few years, which can be regarded as a very rich existence.

They heard that Zhang Yu was going to borrow money, and many people took out all their family savings.

In their opinion, they didn't borrow this concept at all, and they didn't think that Zhang Yu would repay the money.

They are proud to be able to help Zhang Yu.

This is the people, the simple people, Zhang Yu fought to the death with the enemy for them, why should they take out the money and lend it to Zhang Yu.

No one expected that this policy would receive so much support from the people.

Many people took out the money and took it to the county office.

Many county officials were not prepared at all, they had made a lot of preparations, but they did not expect this to be the case, and the preparation was seriously insufficient.

There is such a story, Lao Li Tou is a native of Xuzhou, and fled with a family of seven that year, and that year Zhang Yu happened to be the Taishou of Huiji County.

Lao Li Tou was almost desperate, but when he arrived in Huiji County, Zhang Yu arranged a house for them, gave them food, gave them land and farm tools, so that their lives were guaranteed all of a sudden, and their family survived.

In the past few years, their family has been working hard, and life is getting better day by day.

Every year, during the festival, Lao Li Tou has to take the whole family to pray for Zhang Yu and them.

Now, he received a message from the village chief that Zhang Yu had no money to fight and needed to borrow money from them.

As soon as he heard this, Lao Li Tou sat in the courtyard in a daze.

His family has money, a family of seven, who work hard every year to build a new house and more than 3,000 copper coins.

That's a lot of money.

Lao Li Tou sat there sighing, and the whole family saw that something was wrong with him, but they didn't dare to go up and ask.

After sitting for about an hour, Lao Li Tou entered the house with his hands behind his back and went to call the whole family back.

"Dad, why did you ask us to come back, there's still something going on in the field."

"Third brother, listen to my father. Don't interrupt. ”

Lao Li Tou looked at his wife, three sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren, which was much better than when they fled the famine.

After the family came, Lao Li Tou suddenly bent down and cried to his third son and said, "Three, Dad is sorry for you." ”

"Dad, what's going on."

"yes, something happened to Dad."

"Dad, what the hell is going on?"

Lao Litou's sudden move made the whole family stunned.

Everyone looked at Lao Li Tou nervously.

"Three, dad is sorry for you, dad decided to use all the family's money to help Master Zhang, without Lord Zhang, our family would not have survived." Lao Li Tou said.

Lao Li Tou continued: "Three, I'm afraid your marriage with the daughter of the Lao Niu family is going to be yellow, our family has no money to make a dowry, no money to hold a banquet, if you want to blame your father, my father has thought about it for a long time, if I don't take out the money to help Master Zhang, I won't be able to turn a blind eye to death." ”

When the crowd heard this, there was not a single opposition, but they breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Litou's third son struggled for a while and then looked firm, and then said: "Dad, I think you did the right thing, I remember that the first time I had a full meal was when I came to Jiangdong to eat, and they gave us a few flatbreads on the way, which were fragrant and delicious, and they were the best I have ever eaten in my life." ”

"Yes, Dad, Lord Zhang is fond of us, if I hadn't injured my leg when I fled, I would have gone to serve Master Zhang as a soldier in my early years." The second child also said.

The boss sighed and said: "Dad, we have three brothers in our family, but none of them are qualified to be soldiers, and I really can't raise my head in this village. ”

The eldest continued: "Our family has land, a lot of food, and a cow, so the third child will slow down, and I will tell him about family affairs next year." ”
