"Sell the newspaper!"

"Sell the newspaper!"

On this day, in the early morning, the horizon full of vigorous sunlight floated, melting the snow on the ground, and the voices of young newsboys sounded crisply, resounding in the streets and alleys of Jinling City.

"Today's headlines, the imperial court is about to release the bonds of the state of Wu, and anyone can buy them at will."

"A great thing, a great thing, Wu Guo's treasury bonds are about to be issued, Wu Guo is guaranteed, and the people can rest assured that there will be interest every year."

"Attention, attention, Wu Guo's treasury bonds, the issuance is imminent, all parties are welcome to buy!"

……

……

Early in the morning, the headlines of every newspaper were haunted by the four words "Wu Guo's national bonds" as the topic, and they were constantly publicized.

In just one morning, the entire Jinling City was already boiling.

"Master Chen, come and give us a good analysis, what does this treasury bond mean?"

In a street in Nancheng, dozens of people holding newspapers, including ordinary people, tenants, and some craftsmen, all looked at a young man of a small grade and asked suspiciously.

National debt, a novel word, made them very puzzled.

What interest is is even more difficult to understand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you listen to a certain person to give you a good analysis, the so-called treasury bonds issued by the court this time are just the money that the court wants to borrow from us, but the court is not borrowed in vain, they will have interest on us, here is a one-year version, a two-year version."

The young man was a student of Zhongshan Academy, a well-known scholar on this street, and he held a copy of the Jiangdong Daily in front of the neighborhood. Foaming at the mouth.

"Borrow money?"

"The imperial court actually borrowed money from us?"

"Is there no money in the imperial court?"

The people began to scream, one by one.

"Master Chen, what is the one-year version and the two-year version?" A middle-aged man asked.

Chen Dashizi began to analyze in detail: "The interest rate of the so-called one-year version of the treasury bond is 3 percent. That is, you use 100 yuan to buy a 100 yuan treasury bond, and after a year, the court will return you the capital of 100 yuan, as well as the interest of 3 yuan, that is, 100 and 3 yuan. And the two-year version is 4.5 percent of the interest, that is, you buy a two-year version of the treasury bond for 100 yuan, and after two years, they will repay you the principal interest, a total of 104.5 yuan. ”

"Interest?"

"So generous?"

Everyone's eyes were slightly happy.

"Why does the court still ask us for money?"

Talked about money. Everyone was more or less nervous, and someone asked puzzledly.

"It has been explained here that because the court has difficulties in fiscal expenditure today, it will issue treasury bonds, and wait until tomorrow's tax revenue is collected before returning it to us!"

Chen Shizi hurriedly analyzed.

"I can still make money with this interest, but I want to buy treasury bonds!"

"But if the court doesn't pay us back the principal, is it good now?"

"No, it won't. Is the court still greedy for our money! ”

"It's not impossible!"

"Can you buy this treasury bond or not?"

……

The situation on this street is constantly playing out throughout Jinling City.

Each person's mind is different, and the scope of what they see is different. If you think about different questions, you will naturally have different choices.

But it is undeniable that now their eyes are on the upcoming treasury bonds issued by Wu Guo, some have already made up their minds to subscribe, and some people want to see the follow-up development, and then decide.

……

At this moment. In the midst of the majestic royal palace.

Sun Quan, Sun Ce. Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong. Cheng Pu, Hua Xin, Wu Jing, Yu Tuo, Wei Teng...... Two marquis, three princes and nine kings...... These decision-making ministers of the state of Wu were all gathered in Sun Jian's imperial study.

They are haunting the issue of the national debt.

Some agreed, some opposed.

"Zhongmou, now that the matter of the national debt has been in an uproar, can you be sure in your heart?" Sun Jian sat in the first place, still calm, looked at Sun Quan, and asked.

National debt?

A very novel term made Sun Jian's ears refreshed, but in the name of the court, borrowing money from the people of Wu so bluntly always made him a little disdainful in the heart of the king.

If you borrow the way, it is not too embarrassing, but if you can't borrow it, the face will be lost.

Now the momentum of the national debt has been raised, from Jinling, the capital of Wu State, to the core six counties, the documents have been distributed, and the newspapers are constantly reporting.

However, the real treasury bonds have not yet been issued.

If it is sent down, and no one comes to subscribe for a long time, then Wu Guochaotang's face will be lost, and it will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world.

So Sun Jian was always a little hesitant.

"Father, now that the voice is ringing, the momentum in all aspects has been created, and the people are waiting for the issuance of Wu Guo's national bonds.

Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said: "Our financial problems, the issuance of treasury bonds, is helpless, I believe in the hearts of the people of Wu, therefore, I also take this opportunity to explore the support of the people of Wu for the court!" ”

National debt, this is the method that Sun Quan came up with to solve the finances of the Wu Dynasty.

The issuance of treasury bonds relies on the people's will of a country, and Sun Quan also wants to know how many people's hearts there are in Wu's country, which is now obviously thriving.

This is important.

"Junhou, what if no one subscribes?"

At this time, Shaofuqing, one of the nine Qings, walked out, bowed his hand slightly to Sun Quan, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"No one subscribed?"

Sun Quan sneered and snorted coldly: "Hmph, if this is the case, the five billion dollars of national debt will be carried by a certain family!" ”

The first time he issued treasury bonds, Sun Quan didn't have a bottom in his heart, so the amount set was 5 billion yuan.

Five billion money, seventy is not much, that is, Wu Guo's taxes for a year are only about that, and this time the issuance of treasury bonds is just a move to test the waters, even if no one subscribes, Sun Quan and the ability of the Jiangshan Chamber of Commerce. I can carry it down, too.

So he wasn't afraid.

"Zhongmou, since you are sure, Lone will believe you once."

When Sun Jian heard this, he groaned for a while, and looked at Sun Quan's confident expression. There was no longer any hesitation in his heart, and he gently opened the jade seal box next to him, and then took out the heirloom jade seal and stamped it directly on a file.

This jade seal was stamped, that is, five billion treasury bonds guaranteed by the credit of Wu Wei were born.

"Father, please rest assured, this matter will be handled well!"

Sun Quan said confidently.

"Zhongmou. Since it is the treasury bond of the state of Wu, can we, the ministers, subscribe for it? Sun Ce suddenly walked up, squinted his eyes, and asked.

"Of course!"

Sun Quan was slightly stunned and nodded hurriedly. said: "The national debt is aimed at all the people of Wu State, as long as they are the people of Wu State, they are eligible to subscribe, but this time the amount is not large, it is just an action to test the hearts of the people, so the amount of each person's subscription is capped at 100,000 yuan!" ”

"Haha!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he smiled: "Our Jianghou Mansion is not as rich as Donghou Mansion, and a certain family takes the lead. Subscribe for 100,000 dollars. ”

"Thank you Brother Wang for your support!"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth twitched slightly, Sun Bofu, you are really going to be in the limelight. Who cares about your 100,000 dollars!

I have to say that this little bully is also getting more and more aware of being an official.

Wu Guo's national bonds, he was the first to subscribe, and the meaning was different.

"Jiang Hou paid all the money, and he also subscribed for 30,000!"

"A certain family is relatively poor, subscribe for 10,000!"

"The Yu family subscribed for 100,000!"

"The Wei family is also 100,000!"

The ministers saw that Sun Ce had taken the lead in subscribing. They looked at each other, and were embarrassed not to say anything. One by one, they stood up and subscribed.

Sun Jian looked at everyone, flashing and flashing. The smile is toothless and the eyes are gone.

……

Following.

On this day, the weather was good, the snow on the ground had melted, and the morning sun was very warm.

Wu's treasury bonds officially began to be issued among the people, and the first issuance was naturally Jinling, the national capital.

There are millions of people inside and outside Jinling City, and the market is not small.

"Wu's treasury bonds have been issued."

"It's finally released, such a good thing, we're going to buy it!"

"Daughter-in-law, let's subscribe to some treasury bonds and earn some interest!"

Originally, the momentum of the day's work was already being done, and the treasury bonds issued by the court were very smooth, starting from Jinling, there were a total of ten strongholds in the north, south, east and west of the city, and the treasury bonds could be purchased.

Jinling City is now the capital of Wu State, which has developed rapidly in recent years, from the construction of the city to Tuntian, the people who live here have more or less surplus money.

"Let's wait!"

"We are not in a hurry, Zhang Laohan's family has read books, they are all smart people, if they buy it, we will also buy it!"

Of course, although there are actually a lot of people in Wu State, there are not too many people who subscribe on the first day, and all the people who come are scattered, and the harvest is not big.

Only about 100 million yuan was sold in the whole city.

The next day, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Sun Quan's body sat in front of Zhang Zhao, looking at the dossier of the treasury bond subscription, he was very dissatisfied with this result.

"Junhou, the share of five billion is too big, and it can't be sold!" Zhang Zhao sighed.

When Sun Quan heard this, his face was a little cold, he shook his head, and said coldly: "Prime Minister Zhang, it's not that there is no market for treasury bonds, but that you can't even buy things." ”

"What do you mean, Prince?" When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and looked at Sun Quan with some doubts.

"Prime Minister, your stronghold is too quiet, there is no atmosphere, naturally you can't sell things, even if it is a good thing, there must be a market atmosphere, under normal circumstances, people buy things, there is a big characteristic, like to be lively!" Sun Quan analyzed softly and said, "As long as you can make them think that someone is buying this thing, they will have the courage to buy it!" ”

"I still don't understand!" Zhang Zhao was confused, but he still said.

"Forget it, I can't make sense with you, from now on, let me sell the treasury bonds, you are all optimistic!"

Sun Quan's eyes burst out with a gleam, and he shouted: "Ziyu! ”

"Prince!"

Zhuge Jin stood beside Sun Quan and responded quickly.

"What I wanted, how did you find it?" Sun Quan asked.

"Prince, a thousand people, all the preparations are in place. Just waiting for your command! ”

"Let's move!" Sun Quan said: "If you want to make the stronghold of buying and selling treasury bonds lively, as long as it is lively, you can let people come, understand?" ”

"No!"

Zhuge nodded, and then went to arrange it.

Under the play of the group of trusts under Sun Quan. The atmosphere began to rise, and the next day's release exceeded Zhang Zhao's expectations.

Billion.

In just one day, 500 million government bonds were sold.

Of course, this amount did not satisfy Sun Quan, five billion national debts, and he left two billion shares in the capital Jinling.

The third day was the main play.

Mi Jia announced. Subscribe to 100,000 Wu national bonds! ”

"The Bai family announced that they would subscribe for 100,000 Wu State bonds!"

"The Fang family announced that they would subscribe for 100,000 Wu State bonds!"

The members of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce began to move, and each family subscribed for 100,000, and then a chain reaction was formed in Jinling City.

The powerful families have joined this torrent.

In the eyes of the people, this is a national debt. In the eyes of these families, this is a way to win the king's other eyes.

It's only 100,000, no problem.

However, with their thorough movement, the entire Jinling began to move.

"The people of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce are so good at doing business, they all buy treasury bonds, and they must make a profit!"

"They're not afraid of the king's debts, what are we afraid of?"

"Buy!"

"Money is put at home and there are cubs, buy more!"

……

"Don't cut in line. This is my lined up! ”

"You must buy Treasury bonds today!"

"Interest on national bonds, we will be able to make money tomorrow!"

With the movement of Jinling families, the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce and the family jointly subscribed. There is also the atmosphere of agitation among the various bases for the purchase of treasury bonds, which are arranged by Sun Quan.

The popular will of Wu began to explode rapidly, and the purchase of Wu national bonds also entered a peak period.

Three days later.

Palace.

When Sun Jian heard Zhang Zhao's report, he gasped and said, "In less than five days, you actually sold 1.5 billion treasury bonds!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can see this. The people still trust our Wu country! Zhang Zhao said excitedly.

"Good, great!"

Sun Jian laughed.

"The King. Next, we should continue to sell to the six counties of Koto. Sell these five billion national bonds, and we will be able to have a good year! ”

Zhang Zhaodao.

"You do it yourself!" Sun Jian nodded.

…………

"Lady, this is the five thousand money left over from our family today, do you really want to buy treasury bonds?"

"Husband, the court won the battle, they will definitely not lie to us, the old Wang family has bought it, why don't we buy it?"

……

"Everyone in the capital has bought it, why don't we buy it!"

"Even if they lose, they lose money first!"

……

"It's rare for the court to borrow money from us, you must buy it!"

"And interest!"

……

In just 10 days, the treasury bonds were sold out in the six counties of Jiangdong, and 5 billion shares were all sold.

Donghou Mansion.

When Sun Quan received the news of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't help but laugh a few times.

It's too smooth.

The supply exceeded demand, and it was sold out in just 10 days.

Perhaps, he underestimated the popular will of Wu too much.

Today's Wu State can be described as united, otherwise the national bonds would not have been sold so quickly, this is the popular heart of Wu State.

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"

This time the sale of treasury bonds, Sun Quan is just an action to test the waters, but the harvest is too amazing, and the people's will is the most important criterion for whether a prince can get the world.

In today's Wu country, the Sun family is popular with the people, which is beyond doubt.

"Junhou, there are still many people who want to buy treasury bonds, how can it be good?" Zhuge Jin asked.

"The second batch of national bonds must wait until after the Chinese New Year."

Sun Quan's eyes crossed and said, "This time, let's play big!" ”

He still wanted to give it a try, what the reaction would be on a national scale. (To be continued)
