Since the holy voucher was put into use in Qingzhou, Lu Bu, who is the history of the state thorn, has seen the wonderful use of the holy voucher - paper money.

In his view, the certificate was nothing more than a piece of paper with the Church's seal. It is not as difficult to mine and mint as gold, silver and copper coins, and it is very easy to print as much as the church wants.

Therefore, when he learned that the imperial court and the church would be short of funds, he immediately thought of asking the church to activate the printing machine and print a large number of holy coupons to supplement public use.

Regarding Lu Bu's proposal, Luan Yi still refused without hesitation. He told Lu Bu that the number of holy coupons was not printed and sealed, and that once the amount of issuance was inconsistent with the amount of gold, silver, copper and other hard currency stored in the treasury of each church, it would easily lead to the depreciation of the holy coupons. After the depreciation of the holy certificate, it will also cause a series of immeasurable chain reactions, forming a vicious circle and unlimited.

He also told Lu Bu that he had hired more than 100 experienced bookkeepers to keep an eye on the issuance of holy vouchers and report the silver inventory of local churches in real time, in order to maintain the balance between deposits and distributions, and it was not easy to maintain the current stable situation. We must not pull out the seedlings to help them grow, and suddenly increase the circulation for the sake of temporary utilitarianism.

As soon as he heard this, Lu Bu clicked his lips, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work!" That is to say, encouraging fertility is equivalent to mentioning it in vain! ”

"Not really!" Luan Yi raised the corners of his mouth and threw out the plan he had already thought of. He first concluded: "The current situation is that the imperial treasury is empty, and the church is short of money and food, and neither can support the huge consumption of encouraging childbearing. This is all a fact, and it is also a question that we cannot avoid. However......" He completely ignored the young emperor who was sitting in the first place on the steps, walked out of the queue by himself, stood at the front and glanced around at the civil and military forces in the hall, and said: "We are shy in our pockets, it doesn't mean that others don't have empty warehouses. The court has no money, so you can go to those princes who have more income to borrow! ”

"Huh?" There was another discussion in the hall.

"Who will lend money these days!" "yes, yes!"

"Who can lend so much money to the imperial court?" Some humorists responded jokingly: "You can't go to Yuan Benchu!" "Haha......"

Luan Yi raised his hands and instantly suppressed the ridicule in the hall, "Don't worry, Qian Benguan will definitely be able to borrow it." Now the first thing to discuss is whether the court is willing to use it to encourage the people to have children, if the official asks for tens of millions of dollars for the imperial court. ”

"That's nature."

After getting the desired result, Luan Yi immediately arranged for an envoy, and Mao Jue personally led a team to visit Liu Biao in Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

After offering a ceremonial gift, Mao Jue wrote directly and told Liu Biao that he had two main purposes for going south this time. The first purpose was to convey respect to Liu Jingzhou on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and the Qingzhou Assassin Shi Luan Yi and the civil and military officials, hoping to maintain long-term friendly relations with Liu Biao, continue to increase trade and commerce, and promote their own stability and prosperity.

The second purpose is to borrow 4 million yuan from Liu Biao. Of course, before coming, Luan Yi said that this money is not borrowed in vain, not only will it be repaid in five years, but it will also pay high interest. In this regard, Luan Yi's price is indeed very attractive, and the interest is as high as 30% a year. That is to say, if he borrows 4 million guan, Luan Yi will give Liu Biao 1.2 million guan of interest every year, and after five years, the interest earned alone will not be less than 4 million guan.

In addition, in order to show his sincerity, Mao Jue deliberately brought a holy coupon worth 8 million guan and put it at Liu Biao as collateral temporarily, and before repayment, Liu Biao could temporarily use this holy coupon to carry out any form of trade with any of the chambers of commerce of Dahan Qing, Yan, Xu, and Yu, and temporarily use the holy coupon as currency.

Of course, the money spent on these expenditures had to be spent on the loans, and the loans would be repaid after five years according to the number of holy certificates left in Liu Biao's hands.

Liu Biao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that Luan Yi wanted to borrow money. For a long time in the past, he had only heard that others had asked Luan Yi, who was rich in the world, to borrow money, and he never thought that Luan Yi would come to his door to borrow money from him.

In a haze, he felt that Luan Yi was not just borrowing money, but also a huge conspiracy was brewing.

He couldn't figure out what deep intentions Luan Yi had in borrowing money for a while, and at the same time, because of Mao Jue's arrival, he still carried the king's order, with the holy decree of "transferring money and grain from Jingzhou to support the imperial court". He couldn't refuse for a while, so he had to drag it off for the time being, telling Mao Jie that the four million yuan was not a decimal, and he needed to discuss with the state officials before making a decision.

After placing Mao Jie in the post house, Liu Biao immediately convened the civil and military affairs in the state and revealed the price and inventory offered by Mao Jue.

Cai Mao, the brother of Liu Biao's wife, smiled happily and exclaimed: "Don't make thirty percent of the profits in vain." He said: "In the past few years, Jingzhou has been under the governance of the lord, the wind and rain have been smooth, the grain warehouse is full, and the treasury is full of wealth. Mo said that Luan Ziqi borrowed 4 million guan, even 8 million guan Jingzhou could get it. Instead of letting this batch of assets be in the library for insects and rats to bite, it is better to lend them to Luan Yi and make a huge profit for nothing. ”

"It's not right." Kuai Yue, a descendant of the Kuai family of the wealthy clan in Jingzhou, objected, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Luan Yihao is known to the world, and it is really unusual for him to suddenly come to Jingzhou to borrow money, and he must have other plans. ”

"What's so strange about that?" Cai Maosu and Kuai Yue were not in harmony, and when they heard that the other party was singing against him, he didn't fight anywhere. "Who hasn't had a time when they can't open the pot? Besides, isn't it just borrowing 4 million yuan, so why don't you have any other plans. Even if there is a picture, at most it is 4 million yuan, and it will not be repaid when it expires. Luan Yi has always paid attention to reputation, and he will definitely not make a self-deprecating statement for this small profit. Therefore, it is impossible for him not to pay back this money. ”

After listening to Cai Mao's words, Liu Biao thought about it carefully and felt quite reasonable. As everyone knows, Luan Yi has always regarded himself as a gentleman, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing that harms others and himself if he borrows money and does not repay it. Thinking of this, Liu Biao's doubts suddenly disappeared, and he immediately made a decision and allocated 4 million yuan for Mao Jue to bring back to Jinan.

What Liu Biao never expected was that Luan Yi never thought about returning this large loan at all. Because, in his new five-year plan, Jingzhou will be included in the territory of the church. At that time, Jingzhou became part of the diocese, and it was the responsibility of the local government to inject sufficient resources into the political core, and the so-called 4 million yuan of financial output could not be called a loan, but a reasonable local tax.

In this regard, Luan Yi borrowed from the practice of the United States in later generations. As the richest country in the world, the U.S. government is surprisingly indebted. But they never thought about repaying these debts, until the debts accumulated to a certain extent that exceeded the cost of the war. They will not hesitate to turn on the motor, set off a flood of gunsmoke, defeat the creditor country, and use a war to write off the huge amount of money owed in the past few years.

Such behavior is not only shameful, it is simply hooliganism. It is tantamount to their use of brutal force to exploit and exploit the people of the creditor countries.

Now, Luan Yi has copied this method and used it on Liu Biao.

According to Luan's pre-estimates, the 4 million yuan borrowed from Liu Biao is enough to support the expenses of the policy of encouraging childbirth for three years. Three years later, the imperial court and the church continued to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and the saved funds could barely support two years. Two years later, the Second Five-Year Plan came to an end. Jingzhou fell into the hands of the Church, and the rich Jingzhou would provide rich financial support to the imperial court and the Church.

The second and third 4 million yuan will be continuously replenished into the warehouse, and by the first 12 years, the first batch of children supported by the Huimin policy will have a certain ability to work, and the labor productivity of the diocese will inevitably have a quantum leap, and it will increase significantly every year. The increase in productivity and production directly contributed to the increase in taxes paid by the imperial court, and it would be much easier for the imperial court to turn around and feed the people.

The arrival of 4 million in Jinan means that the policy of encouraging childbirth can be officially implemented. So, under Luan Yi's instructions, the front page of the "Shengguang Daily" that appeared in early February of the sixth year of the Shengyuan Dynasty published an editorial written by Luan Yi, the head of the Yanzhou Assassin of the Han Dynasty, the head of the Protector God Sect, and the famous scholar Luan Yi himself, "For the well-being of the people, the imperial court has new measures".

While elaborating on the imperial court's policy of "encouraging childbirth" to benefit the people, the work also adopted a new style for the first time. Modal words such as "Zhi Hu Ye" are no longer added to the text, but colloquial language is used in a unique way. To put it bluntly, the whole editorial only occasionally inserts some literary rhetoric, and the rest of the large paragraphs are the big vernacular on the lips of ordinary people, that is, the vernacular that later generations said. Between sentences, "," is added. ”“！” Strange symbols such as "" are used to break sentences and distinguish meanings, which have not been seen in any previous books.

Whether it's a newspaper, a vernacular, or a punctuation mark...... Luan Yi knew that out of resistance to the unknown, it would be difficult for people to accept them in a short period of time.

As a result, the newspaper "Holy Light", sponsored by the Church of Our Lady, was not put on the market and was distributed free of charge to more than 2,000 churches in the diocese as an internal publication of the Church. Only 10,000 copies of each issue of the newspaper are printed, and only 5 copies are distributed to each local church for local literate believers to borrow.

"Shengguang Daily" has 2 issues a month, each issue has only 4 pages, of which the front page is called "Rumors of the World", which mainly publishes the latest policy directives; Pages 2 and 3 are "Gospel Songs," which feature the latest church news, including new initiatives within the church system, as well as positive and progressive deeds such as good deeds and charitable actions of believers. From the 1st to the 3rd editions, the text is all in the vernacular, with punctuation clauses.

The 4th edition is called "Meandering Water". The so-called "Qushui Liuzhen" is actually a custom that prevailed in the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and has been used to this day. After the purification ceremony is held in the third month of the summer calendar, the literati will sit on both sides of the canal, place wine glasses in the upper stream, and the wine glasses will go down the river, and whoever stops in front of them will take the cup and write a poem, if they can't compose a poem, they will be punished with a glass of wine. This ancient game is known to the world as the Flowing Water.

Therefore, the fourth edition of this edition entitled "Flowing Water" is the section, and each issue publishes poetry works, and occasionally serializes some popular novels.
