The bourgeois revolution of the Song dynasty was different from all the civil strife that had occurred in history, and before this revolution, most of the civil strife between the countries of the world was a struggle for power between the nobles. In this civil strife, the emerging bourgeois forces in Taoqiu stepped onto the stage of history for the first time, dealing a heavy blow to the feudal aristocracy. This civil strife opened a new era for the world.

——Sima Qian, "Historical Records: Song Benji"

Dai Yan didn't know what the historical development of his time travel was, when he gave an iron-blooded speech at Taoqiu University, he was extremely busy, as if he had become a high-speed machine, and he could no longer stop.

As the master of Taoqiu, since he chose to declare war on Suiyang, he must be fully prepared. The first thing to do is to turn the entire pottery mound from its previous unusually loose state into a high-speed war machine!

The Yi Mansion in Taoqiu first began to expand. In order to be able to carry out orders more efficiently, and to handle logistics and all war materiel, he established a new body: the War Commission. Most of the members of this organization, Dai Yan chose the merchants and big factory owners of Taoqiu. Some of these merchants were in charge of the grain trade, some were in charge of the sale of medicinal herbs, and some were in charge of the arms trade. And one of the merchants that Dai Yan valued the most was Yi Wei, who controlled the largest fleet of Taoqiu. Outside of the traders, the composition of the big factory owners was relatively simple, and all of them were the directors of the military factories.

Someone in later generations once said: When the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. Once the war begins, the materials of the entire war will be rapidly depleted. And all of this needs money to support. Therefore, raising enough money is definitely the key to winning a war!

For Taoqiu, the current enemies include Suiyang and the entire Song State under its control, as well as the 30,000 Chu troops in Xiangyi. There may be more Chu troops in the future, and at the same time, Dai Yan also needs to guard against the interference of neighboring countries. Therefore, raising as much money as possible is definitely a must to win this war!

Now that Taoqiu is under Dai Yan's rule, the reputation of the Yi government is very high. After Dai Yan's iron-blooded speech, the people were in a frenzy, and the call for war was also very high. All this made Dai Yan extremely happy, and he took advantage of the current fanatical atmosphere in Taoqiu to issue war bonds again.

This time the war bonds, Dai Yan did not make a fuss like the previous issuance of bonds for Zhao State, he knew very well that if this war failed, not only would he be ruined, but the entire Taoqiu would no longer belong to him. Therefore, as soon as he came up, he issued a bond of 500 million yuan, which is equivalent to ten times the previous war for Zhao to conquer Linhu!

Such a large bond is naturally not something that any single merchant or firm in Taoqiu can eat. In Dai Yan's view, even if someone can really eat this large amount of bonds, he will never give it to a single institution or a single class, he will issue it to the entire Taoqiu class!

Such a 500 million bond, for a period of three years, with an annual interest rate of 33.3%, that is, holding this bond for three years, you can get a 100% return! It is issued to all Taoqiu owners as collateral against future tax revenues in Taoqiu, and each Taoqiu person has the right to purchase bonds of more than 2,000 yuan. This kind of bond with good yields and sufficient collateral is very popular with the Taoqiu people. Only two days after it was issued, 60% of the bond was snapped up by the Taoqiu people, and the rest was quickly eaten up by the big trading houses in Taoqiu.

After such a bond was issued to everyone, Dai Yan had enough money in his hands, which could not only be used to recruit troops, purchase supplies, but also to appease the people and give Taoqiu a stable rear!

Under Dai Yan's war bond operation, an ordinary Taoqiu man can see the scene is that he spent most of his family property to buy the war bond issued by Taoqiu Jun. The return of this bond is that after three years, he will be able to get double the face value!

And with this bond, he also needs to obey the mobilization of the Yi government and join the army of Taoqiu. When he joined the army, he was paid 30 yuan a month, which was more than what he had earned when he worked in a factory. If he is able to make a great contribution in the war and cut off the enemy's head, the lord will have other rewards. Kill a regular soldier to get a reward of 100 gold; If you kill an officer, the bounty you can earn will increase as you rank up. If he is wounded in battle, he will be cared for by the euphemist. If he dies in the war, his family will also receive a generous pension!

At the same time, as the main labor force of the family, since he has joined the army and joined the war, his family will also receive a monthly allowance of 15 yuan. Such an income, plus his own income from joining the army, can basically ensure that his family life in the rear is worry-free!

In today's era, the world has entered the Warring States Period, in which all the people are soldiers, and it can be said that whenever there is a war in the countries of the world, the princes are eager to arrest all the subjects who can be mobilized and force them to go to the front. For Dai Yan, the practices of these princes are all extremely short-sighted!

By catching strong men, let the common people join the army, and then hang them in front of the common people through some pitiful rewards as carrots, and let them fight hard for themselves. The princes still wish that all the people could die like the disciples of the Mo family! Such a move, in Dai Yan's opinion, is really an extremely ridiculous move!

Dai Yan has the experience of two wars, and he has the vision of later generations, and he can now look at the war with a relatively detached eye. In the opinion of his later generations, war is an extremely high-risk investment. If he wants this investment project to go smoothly, he needs to fool some strangers, walk hundreds of miles, go to a strange place, and fight desperately with another group of strangers!

But how can a person in his right mind, without enough temptation, casually gamble with his own life, to fight for others, and fight to the death with another group of strangers?

In later generations, Dai Yan has seen many start-up companies and even mature enterprises. Most companies will not take the initiative to talk about salary and treatment with employees, even if employees have made outstanding contributions, they will not talk about salary increases with employees at will, but will talk about ideals and feelings with employees. In Dai Yan's eyes, all those who refuse to involve interests and fool others with empty things are hooligans! And such a company cannot last long in Dai Yan's eyes, because they are unwilling to share dividends with employees, and only think that they can buy people's hearts through empty things, and when employees wake up, they will inevitably abandon them!

And war is very similar to entrepreneurship in later generations, compared to entrepreneurship, it is more risky, and it is not only money that is invested, but also human lives! In this high-risk project, it is necessary to fool the common people with all kinds of illusory things, such as loyalty, such as nationalism, such as for the glory of God, but the most important thing is to give everyone tangible benefits! Without profit, who will die for you?

Dai Yan has always believed that only by giving enough benefits, so that everyone can see hope, and then use ideals, feelings or something to fool, can it have a good effect. After all, if you want to fool people, you should always take a real carrot and hang it in front of him to make him desperate, right? And after the other party has achieved the goal, the carrots promised to the other party should be fulfilled. In this way, the other party can really work hard for you when they get the sweetness!

That's what Dai Yan did. He made a promise to all those who joined the army: as long as you join the army, you don't have to worry about your family's affairs at all. In this way, the soldiers who joined the army can have peace of mind. At the same time, as long as the soldiers who join the army, they will have an important expectation, and their performance on the battlefield can be richly rewarded! And what Dai Yan is most confident in is the war bond issued to the whole city, because this is a kind of interest bundling!

This bond faces the entire potterhill, so it is shrouded over the heads of all soldiers. If the war is won, everyone will be able to reap the rewards of the war; If they fail, the vast majority of the soldiers will be ruined! As long as there is this bond, and the soldiers want to get the perfect return on this bond, they must win the war, which will make them spontaneously fight for Taoqiu! This bond can be said to tie everyone in Taoqiu to the chariot built by Dai Yan!

And after tying up the chariot, Dai Yan's previous iron-blooded speech at Taoqiu University gave them another reason to escape the crime of war: Hua Rong and Le Cheng committed rebellion, and now we are crusading against the rebels and clearing the monarch's side, which is a righteous move to stand on the moral high ground!

Dai Yan's previous speech, which created a reason for war for Tao Qiu, was actually an experience he learned from later generations. In later generations, the American empire, which is at the top of the world, will find a good reason before every war. For example, when the Spanish-American War was launched, he would say that Spain sank the American warship USS Maine; Participating in World War I, he would say that it was because the Germans carried out unrestricted submarine warfare, which sank the passenger liner Lusitania and caused casualties to the American people; And to start World War II, he will say that this neon little man provoked me first, bombed my Pearl Harbor, and I was forced to do it!

In fact, every time the United States enters a war, it is not so noble, and there are powerful interests behind it. However, when starting a war, is it a useless act to take off your pants and fart? Absolutely not, this is not only to give the people of the country a reason to get by, but also to give the soldiers who participated in the war a reasonable excuse to kill!

In the 21st century, the United States cannot find a passable excuse in order to fight stupidity. Later, they really couldn't think of a reason, so they asked the secretary of state to go to Congress with laundry detergent to testify, fooling the people that this was evidence that Stupid Damu had weapons of mass destruction.

To put it simply, to start a war, you need a reason, you need a moral excuse, just like being a bitch is to set up a torii! With this archway, even if you are really a bitch, give the world the feeling that you are a chaste martyr, and you are righteous! Without this torii, even if you are really a chaste martyr and you are extremely righteous, then you must be evil!
