Chapter 989: Usury (Loan) and Head!
The legendary Ming Empire, which inherited poetry and music, was actually very cruel after tearing off the disguise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is Tokugawa Iemitsu's new understanding of Zhu Zilong and the Ming Empire now!
At this moment, Zhu Zilong's attitude is very clear.
It's straightforward and clear, first of all, you have to be obedient, otherwise I will beat you. Secondly, you still have to be obedient, or I will beat you. And finally? You have to be obedient, or I'll kill you. Subtext, be an honest and obedient dog for me, otherwise you will bear the consequences!
Holding back the feeling of humiliation in his heart that could not be expressed in words, Tokugawa Iemitsu consciously began to work according to the details of the contract.
As long as the contract is signed, there is no point in resisting at this time.
It's like, you were still a virgin (female) before, after negotiating the price, brush it, let Zhu Zilong xxoo, you have an opinion afterwards, no matter if you have an opinion, it is impossible for you to become a virgin (female) again, even if the surgery repairs the X membrane, you are not.
It's all dark anyway, so let's go black to the end!
Just like Wang Jinwei, who became a big traitor, no matter how much you shout about your conscience and suddenly repent, and want your self-esteem to resist the little devil, the Chinese people will not be a hero again.
People will only say, if you succeed in resisting, it is called a discovery of conscience, but it is still a sin. If the rebellion fails, it is called deserved. It's not pleasing inside and out, and it's not a person inside and out. In short, if you go wrong and go the wrong way, you will also have to go all the way to the dark!
However, Zhu Zilong just calculated the situation of Comrade Jiaguang, so he squeezed him little by little.
For the Tachibana family, Zhu Zilong also notified the past.
The meaning of the letter is very clear, Japan and Korea are both non-conscripted countries of the Ming Dynasty. The North Korean army was overwhelmed, and the Tachibana family still proceeded according to plan, but because of the domestic affairs, there were many dreams in order to prevent the night from being long.
Therefore, first paralyze the side of General Fuso, and then secretly plot it.
Yes, both ways!
As soon as this reason came out, Zhu Zilong had a good excuse to act, so as not to make people feel too ugly.
There are some things you can do but not say, and some people you can say but can't do. But more people can't do it, and they can't say it.
Zhu Zilong is a superior person, who can do and speak, but he is also divided into time, person, and place.
After a few days, seeing that Tokugawa Iemitsu was very obedient, Zhu Zilong's smile became kind, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, the benefits will be great." For example, first give you 10,000 Daming smoothbore guns, which are the small iron cannons you say, and count you cheaper. It's enough to give five hundred taels of silver each, but do you see the three-five-pound cannon? 5,000 taels each, 50 taels per shell, don't be too expensive, they are all specially made, absolutely powerful, let you be armed, and it is no problem to fight anyone! ”
When I came to the munitions warehouse, I took a look at the contents. Tokugawa Iemitsu swallowed his saliva fiercely, of course he wanted these things.
The price, to be honest, is really comparable to the previous purchase from other officials in the Ming Dynasty. No way, that's where the technology gap is. You can't build it yourself, you can only buy it.
Of course, this is also Zhu Zilong's trick.
Don't look a little cheaper, but the amount of one-time transactions is large, and it must be so much at one time, and it will be in the future, and it will not be a small amount of transactions. It's like if you can only eat one bowl of rice, but when you come to buy it, you have to buy all the rice for a year, otherwise you won't be in business.
Moreover, if you want to buy another one, you can't do it.
Because, you've signed the contract.
Tokugawa Iemitsu stubbornly agreed, he really wanted these weapons, the problem is that he has no money now, and he will compensate Zhu Zilong for 10 million taels of silver if he is defeated.
I have emptied my family, and there are still millions of taels left, where will I get the money to buy guns and ammunition?
So, he cautiously tested it and asked if he could owe it?
As a result, Zhu Zilong was very generous, patted him on the shoulder and said, "No money?" Hehe, don't say it sooner. The People's Bank of Shandong lends you, the interest will not be too high, and the monthly interest rate will be five cents. You can use Japan's salt tax as collateral, or if not, take Iwami Ginza as collateral. Other mining areas are also available! ”
Honestly, five cents of interest, is it high?
The interest rate of five cents generally refers to the monthly interest rate of 5%, which is converted into an annual interest rate of 5% x 12 = 60%.
Therefore, if the monthly interest rate is five percent; The annual interest rate is 60 percent.
Alas, my numbness!
Super usury!
For example, if you lend you $10,000, you have to pay back $16,000 a year later.
If the repayment pressure is high, you don't check it for a while, and you don't repay it in time, you can charge compound interest and double it. Well, if Comrade Jiaguang borrowed a few million taels of silver from Zhu Zilong, it is estimated that he will not be able to pay it back until he dies.
This is called being a slave for generations, paying back the money!
Sure enough, Comrade Jiaguang picked up the calculator, and when he snapped his fart, his brows were twisted into an S shape on the spot.
That expression is really colorful.
Looking at him, he really doesn't want to borrow money. However, there was no way, so he could only watch Zhu Zilong pretend to be pitiful.
Zhu Zilong thought about it, Japan is too scarce in resources, and it can't be compared with North Korea. Such a country, even if it were to occupy it, would be a loss-making deal.
If you really have five cents of interest per month, even a fool is not willing to borrow, so it is better to rebel.
Gotcha, drop a little!
So, Zhu Zilong kindly lowered the monthly profit of five points to three points. Then hinted that war reparations do not need to be paid all at once, and they can be compensated in installments!
What, don't know what staging is? I'll teach you!
In addition, what, you do the math, even if you use the Yinshan Jinshan mining area as collateral, plus the salt tax, there will be no money for food in the future, and you will starve to death!
It's okay, I can sell you rice, you grow cotton and others, trade with each other, I'll give you the seeds. Usually catch more fish to eat!
I'm worried about slow results, hehe!
Zhu Zilong patted Jiaguang on the shoulder again, and proposed amiably: "I said Jiaguang, don't say that I won't help you, I'll show you the way to make a lot of money." The government needs to recruit a group of Japanese young men to go to the South Seas and the Americas as mercenaries. For each one recruited, you will be counted as taking out fifty taels of silver for war reparations. Interesting enough, right? ”
"Hey, this is for you. You also know that the people of the Ming Dynasty have always had the habit of being unable to leave their homeland. The Nanyang countries have always been disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, and it's time to teach a lesson. When you recruit people, tell those Japanese samurai that if the contract is signed for ten years, as long as they work hard, they will be paid 20 silver yuan per person per month during the contract period, a small contract for five years, and when the big contract expires for ten years, everyone who is willing to stay will be given 50 acres of land. ”
Stab!
As soon as Zhu Zilong said this, Comrade Jiaguang's eyes immediately turned round, and he gasped with a look of surprise.
I feel that all of a sudden, life is full of hope and vitality again.
A Japanese took Zhu Zilong to be a slave, and gave fifty taels of silver. Nima now has a population of more than 30 million people in Japan, and only about 10 million people are under his control. There are many young and strong men, and they dare not say it, and they can pull out more than one million, more than two million, and more than three million at will.
In an instant, Comrade Jiaguang felt that he could not only pay off the compensation, but also make a lot of money in turn?
