Chapter 421: Borrowing Money

"Ahh Jin Chunqiu and the two princes were dumbfounded all of a sudden. Jin Chunqiu knew that he would not die well, so he suddenly pulled out his knife and put it on his neck and shouted: "God doesn't help me, it's not a crime of war; Spring and Autumn were ashamed of his family and country, so he resigned! As he spoke, he put his robe over his face and pulled down his sword fiercely.

"Poof!" Blood stained the robe, he fell heavily to the ground, the two princes did not have the courage of Jin Chunqiu, they were frightened and shouted: "Escort!" Hurry up and escort! ”

Pei Xingyan and Jiang Huan rushed up; The two tiger generals each raised their swords to kill the guards, and then did not hesitate for a moment; Two snaps directly killed the two princes.

Kim Yuxin and Jindeman were taken aback, and didn't understand why things had become like this.

Zhang Shigui said to Jin Yuxin: "Yu Xin, you go and take Jin Chunqiu's talisman to gather the army, don't add unnecessary deaths." Deman went with me to meet General Ma Wenju and Laiquan. ”

Jin Yuxin agreed and ran out with the talisman, and Zhang Shigui and Jindeman also came out to greet Ma Wenju and Laicheng.

As soon as the three of them met, they saluted, and Zhang Shigui focused on introducing Jindeman to them. Ma Wenju and Laizhen laughed: "I've heard that the Jindeman girl is both talented and beautiful, and even our demon king Chitose is full of praise." General Zhang is really a blessing. ”

Kinderman's face flushed, bowing his head and saying nothing; Zhang Shigui said with a smile: "The two generals are going to make fun of it, come, let's go in and discuss what to do next?" ”

The three of them entered the big tent of the Chinese army against the backdrop of a shout of killing, which had been cleaned up, but the air was filled with blood, and several generals smiled slightly.

After a short time, the shouting outside slowly weakened, and became smaller and smaller until it stopped completely. But at this time, in the military tent, there are people brewing an even greater bloody conflict.

After Cheng Zhijie returned to Shandong, he was also very busy, although the Great Demon Kingdom was the victor this time, it suffered heavy losses; Although they received food from Li Shimin's support, relief was needed everywhere, and the families of the dead soldiers also needed bereavement. In order to prevent others from embezzlement, he personally supervised these things.

After arranging this matter easily, Goguryeo and Baekje were conquered, and according to Zhang Shigui's words, the first batch of 400,000 immigrants was about to enter Shandong.

At this time, it was already the end of autumn, and with so many people in many places at once, the Great Demon Kingdom was also a little unbearable. However, these immigrants are already poor, and if they do not accept them, it will be difficult for them to pass this winter; Rather than being used by people with intentions, it is better to move to the Central Plains.

So Cheng Zhijie agreed to their plan without thinking about it, and asked them to continue to migrate back to the people, and not to worry about whether their families could bear it; The Great Demon Kingdom will always be their solid backing.

This decision made Cen Wenwen very helpless, to be honest, he supported Cheng Zhijie's decision very much; This is the responsibility of a major country. But the treasury of the Great Demon Kingdom is empty, and even Cheng Zhijie's inner treasury is clean.

"Demon King, according to what you said, we are already bankrupt." Cen Wenwen came to Cheng Zhijie's harem alone to report on the financial situation, and finally made a conclusion.

Several princesses were also present, and they rarely asked about these things; After listening to Cen Wenwen's report today, I realized that the Great Demon Kingdom was already in danger to this point.

Cheng Zhijie smiled bitterly: "People say that when the cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, why did I spend 10,000 taels of gold but didn't get anything?" ”

Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Don't be dissatisfied, it's not that we haven't got anything, we have got the land of the four counties, and there are still a large number of people." As long as you survive this period of time, even tens of millions of taels of gold will not be exchanged. ”

"The point is what now? With so many mouths pointing at me to eat, we can't sit idly by! ”

Cui Yu was a little distressed when he saw Cheng Zhijie's sad face and said, "Demon King, I'll take out the jewelry you gave us and take it away, support it!" Dongfang Yumei and several people also hurriedly agreed.

"Stop! Your little stuff is a drop in the bucket and doesn't make any difference, so you might as well keep it! ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Demon King, in fact, it's not impossible. Our Great Demon Nation is rich among the people, and we can levy war taxes, or we can not exempt those who have collected the displaced people from paying taxes; It is completely possible to fill the gap. ”

"No! We must not lose faith with the people. If there is a first time, there will inevitably be a second time in the future. When a habit is formed, the credibility we have built up with great difficulty will collapse, and it will be difficult to re-erect it.

However, Jingren reminded me that although we can't directly raise taxes on the people; But we can borrow money like everybody! ”

"Borrow?" Not only Cen Wenwen was stunned, but even Cui Yu, Dongfang Yumei and others were stunned.

"Not bad! It's borrowing! Text: You calculate how much food you need to bring relief and bereavement benefits after this battle is over. We use the credibility of the Great Demon Kingdom as a guarantee to borrow money from the people. ”

Cen Wenwen's eyes rolled and said, "Makes sense!" There's a lot to be done! We don't have to borrow it all at once; You can prioritize where the money is spent and do it in batches. ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled: "Is this right? You estimate an interest. Nor can the people suffer. We are expecting when we will be able to repay the money, and when it is time to repay the money, the principal and interest will be settled at one time, and we must not be in arrears. ”

Cui Yu exclaimed: "Do you still want to pay interest? Wouldn't we suffer more in this way? What if I can't do it yet? ”

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "Little girl! When the time comes, I can borrow a new account to pay off the old one. Isn't it difficult to borrow and repay? ”

Dongfang Yumei said: "If you can't pay it back, will you keep borrowing it?" One day it will be discovered and it will never be repaid. ”

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said: "Jingren has already said just now, I have laid down such a large territory and have so many people; Plus the tax exemption is coming to an end. As long as you go through this period of time, there will be no problem. ”

Cen Wenwen smiled slightly and said, "If you can't pay back this money by then, what's the use of asking us courtiers." We'll just dismiss them en masse. ”

Dongfang Yumei blushed and bowed her head silently. Cheng Zhijie said: "Jingren, this matter can be big or small; We must make sure that this money is used where it should be spent. You go down and discuss with Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng and make a plan; Don't be hasty. ”

Cen Wenwen agreed, bowed and retreated. Cui Yu stared at Cheng Zhijie for a long time and said, "I really don't know how your brain grows?" It's all a ghostly idea. ”

"Haha! Don't worship me too much, I'll subvert all your perceptions in the future. ”

Several people gave him a blank look, but they had a hunch in their hearts that what this guy said was very likely to come true.

"Xiao Yu, can you make up for it and don't let Xiao Hong follow you, I saw that her eyes were a little panicked."

Cui Yu glanced at him and said: "Nonsense, you rushed out of the sea of corpses and bones to kill the demon king of the world, and the world's famous masters would care about the eyes of a weak woman?" Besides, Xiaohong is so pitiful, Zhang Heng was shot to death, and her child was not saved, so you can pity her! ”

Cheng Zhijie sighed and said, "Xiao Yu, I'm just worried that she will be dominated by hatred and do something to you; When the time comes, it will be too late for us to regret it. ”

Cui Yu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I can pack the ticket, Xiaohong and I are sisters, and it will definitely be fine." You can rest assured! ”

Cheng Zhijie saw that she insisted on refusing, so he didn't say anything more; However, he still sent people to strengthen the defense of the harem, especially arranging people to keep an eye on Xiaohong's every move at all times. Although Cui Yu was not happy, Lao Cheng was for his own good after all, so he did not stop it.

As soon as the war ended, the merchants of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce became active again; This time Shandong launched something called cotton cloth. Although this thing is not as smooth and comfortable as silk, it is cheaper.

And they also launched a series of products made of cotton cloth, cotton shoes, cotton hats, cotton gloves and so on. Let everyone see its bright future at once. There is an endless stream of people who come to Shandong to buy cotton products.

Then all kinds of rare fruits and vegetables in Shandong quickly flooded the market, and they were known to the world through Shandong to the merchants. It has attracted more people to Shandong.

Cui Yu and the others sat together, holding bamboo skewers and feasting on roasted golden lamb. Originally, Cui Yu, especially Sun Sixin, rarely even ate meat, let alone mutton in the eyes of the smell.

But sprinkle the cumin that Cheng Zhijie let people grow, and then bake it; The food is fragrant and tempting; They can't help but want to taste it.

Cheng Zhijie was playing with his son, the little guy was two years old, and it was the time to run around the yard. Cheng Zhijie was playing hide and seek with the little guy, he hid behind Cui Yu and others, Cheng Huaimo quickly found him, and he was picked up and praised by him for a rare time.

When Cheng Huaimo also hid behind his mother, Cheng Zhijie pretended not to see it, and looked under the table, behind the stones, and inside the teacup. As he looked at it, he said, "Where is it?" Where? Why can't you find it? Where did Wymmer go? ”

Cheng Huaimo hurriedly ran out from behind his mother and shouted, "Here, where am I?" Daddy is so stupid. Cheng Zhijie hugged him up, held it high and said, "Yes!" We're the best! Better than Daddy! ”

The little one giggled and giggled when he got the compliment; Cui Yu and the others were also very happy when they saw the happy appearance of their father and son, and they kept making fun of them.

"Haha, the Demon King is so interested!" With a loud laugh, the three giants of the Great Demon Kingdom, Du Ruhui, Cen Wenwen and Wei Zheng, came together.

Cheng Zhijie handed over his son to Sun Sixin and said, "Why did the three busy people come to me?" Look at the way you guys look, you're in a good mood today, what's the matter? ”
