"Since you were born in the Qing Dynasty and grew up in the Qing Dynasty, although you have encountered many setbacks on the way, no matter what, the Qing Dynasty has a blessing for you after all. However, the fate of the Qing Dynasty was worried, and today's foreign soldiers have repeatedly invaded, and the capital has suffered heavy losses, and it is difficult to guarantee even the daily expenses of the imperial court.

However, at this moment, what the saint is thinking about is not the expenses of the imperial court, but the preparation of the army for war, so that he can have the ability to resist the foreign invasion again.

You are businessmen, the losses caused to you by the fall of the capital this time, you don't need Ben Qin to explain a little bit, right?

Therefore, the Holy Lord intends to issue an internal treasury bond, ostensibly to maintain the expenses of the palace, but in fact, to prepare for war. This is the second thing that Ben Chin has to say. Wang Sirui stretched out two fingers and continued.

Don't look at the current Wang Sirui is not short of this money, but in fact, only Wang Sirui knows better that he lacks this money more than anyone else.

190 million taels of silver, it seems like a lot, but what if you use this money to equip hundreds of thousands of troops? What if Wang Sirui wanted to form a modern army? Will this money be enough by then?

Therefore, Wang Sirui must think of ways to make money, and these rich businessmen naturally became the best candidates for Wang Sirui to make money.

Many people at the bottom frowned, Wang Sirui's performance was too strong.

And the previous imperial court has never left them with such a feeling.

Greed for money, incomparably greedy for money.

From the moment he came in, Wang Sirui's body was full of copper smell, which made these businessmen a little uncomfortable.

"My lord, do you know that although we merchants can be called rich merchants, we don't have much mobile money that can really be moved. Previously, you asked us to prepare 100,000 taels of silver in one day, and just for this, we have to take out all the working capital in the capital, and even sell some properties at a low price. It's not that we are unwilling to support the court, but we are really more than willing to do it, and I hope that your Excellency will see it! Old man Qiao Zhiyong stood up and pleaded.

The previous 100,000 taels of silver, which can only be regarded as Sun Lao Liu, failed to play Wang Sirui, and was put on a table by Wang Sirui. And Wang Sirui has soldiers in his hands, and they dare not disobey.

But the rest of the story, that's not what they want. It is already a headache for each family to draw out 100,000 taels of silver in a short period of time, and if they come up with money to support the imperial court, not to mention the fundamentals, at least it will be difficult for the capital to gain a foothold.

For the semicolon of the capital, this is simply a devastating blow.

"Of course, the imperial court will not ignore your difficulties. Therefore, this second thing is all voluntary, and those who are willing to buy it will buy it, and the court will not force it if they are unwilling. Wang Sirui smiled slightly, changed his tone and continued: "Of course, the imperial court will naturally not treat those who take action to serve the country, but the imperial court is currently short of money after all, so it can't give you more interest."

However, the Holy Lord has already decided that this treasury bond will be for one year, and if it is less than 50,000 taels, after one year, in addition to the principal amount of 50,000 taels, interest will be paid at 2 percent, interest will be paid at 3 percent for more than 50,000 taels to 100,000 taels, 4 percent for 100,000 taels to 150,000 taels, and 5 percent for those above 150,000 taels. ”

Wang Sirui is short of money, but he will never do that kind of one-rod business, and the so-called national bonds this time are just Wang Sirui's foreshadowing for some follow-up things.

Some things, after all, require some people to travel. As long as they have had such an experience, then when they do this kind of thing in the future, they will not only do it alone, but also pull their friends together.

Wang Sirui wanted to concentrate all the money in the hands of those wealthy businessmen in China in his own hands and use it to develop armaments. But this really can't always be done by grabbing, and national debt is a good way.

As for repaying the money, this does not seem to matter, and then the domestic tax revenue will be enough. After all, without Cixi's own foodie town that could eat the next battleship that year, the expenses in the palace could still be saved.

All of you here are businessmen, and businessmen seek profit, and this sentence is not false at all.

After Wang Sirui reported the interest, the businessmen had already calculated in their hearts how much the interest was due.

However, when it comes to calculations, only more than 150,000 taels is the most cost-effective. invested 150,000 taels of silver, and after a year, he received an extra 7,500 taels of silver.

Although you will make more money by using this money to do business, sometimes, you don't have the money to do business.

And since Wang Sirui has made it clear, these businessmen also know very well in their hearts that they must buy this treasury bond, and the more they buy, the more beneficial it will be for their future development.

If you can raise hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy, it will be equivalent to directly taking the line of the imperial court, and in the future, if you do business in the country, dare someone to embarrass yourself?

But at the same time, they also know very well that there are people present who can afford to pay so much money, but in a short period of time, no one can afford to pay this money.

Qiao Zhiyong squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Sirui thoughtfully.

What kind of bullshit is that the imperial court issues treasury bonds, to put it bluntly, it is the treasury bonds issued by Wang Sirui. And Wang Sirui has definitely controlled the imperial court at present, so he dares to do whatever he wants.

The capital has changed, and the most uncomfortable thing is not the imperial court, but the rich businessmen. They must choose a team, and that choice will likely lead to the rise or fall of their entire family.

Therefore, this matter must be done with caution.

This Wang Sirui was as cold as if he had jumped out of a stone, not only caught the imperial court off guard, but also caught the entire Qing country off guard.

Although judging from Wang Sirui's current strength, it is still difficult to unify the whole country.

But at present, no one dares to veto it with such certainty, those impossible things that cannot happen, are there still fewer things that happen to Wang Sirui?

Qiao Zhiyong glanced at Shopkeeper Qiu, and immediately found that Shopkeeper Qiu was also looking at him, the two glanced at each other secretly, and then nodded, both of them understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"The third thing! This should be a good thing for you. Wang Sirui didn't give those rich businessmen more time to think, it was up to them to buy or not, anyway, as long as one-fifth of the people could buy it, a year later, his reputation Wang Sirui would naturally be spread by these people.

And now Wang Sirui is short of time, so there is no more time to spend with these businessmen, so he simply talked about the third thing.

"Since it is a new army, then everything must be new, winter and summer military uniforms, military boots, military caps, armed belts, tactical vests, tents, sapper shovels, etc., these need to be repurchased, and in addition to tents and sapper shovels, the other imperial courts plan to purchase 100,000 sets in the first batch. And the budget of one set is two taels of silver, if you are confident that you can eat this business without affecting the arrangements of the imperial court, you can come to Ben Qin to discuss. Wang Sirui said.

"Oh, by the way, there is another point, if you want to steal and cheat, you don't need to use it, if you let Ben Qincha find out that he handed over the business to you, but the result is shoddy, then it will be a crime of deception."

After finishing speaking, Wang Sirui left the glass factory directly, in short, Wang Sirui still has a lot of things, and he has no time to spend here.

As for these wealthy businessmen, they love to walk and stay, anyway, someone is watching them, and they can't make any big waves.

After Wang Sirui left, the soldiers who accompanied the guard also withdrew one after another, and only the soldiers patrolled back and forth, but there was no restriction on the behavior of these wealthy businessmen.

"Old Qiao, what do you think about this?" A group of people gathered around Qiao Zhiyong, in fact, this will not be around, who let Qiao Zhiyong be the ticket number? And some of them are a little short of money, so they have to borrow some money from Qiao Zhiyong.

"What else can you see? This is the will of the imperial court, is it possible that you want to deceive the king? Qiao Zhiyong said helplessly.

"Old Qiao, do you see if you can get out of your fulcrum silver? I really can't get that much silver. A merchant shopkeeper scratched his head.

"Alas, it's not that I won't help you, but that there are so many of us, how can I help you and not him? But Qiao doesn't have that much ability to help everyone solve difficulties. Qiao Zhiyong shirked.

Even if Qiao Zhiyong had the idea of helping before, then now there is no more.

Because he is still thinking about the national debt, for Qiao Zhiyong, this national debt is almost a must-buy, only in this way can he do business safely.

And how much to buy, this represents his choice to stand in line. This still needs to be considered later, but this third thing, Qiao Zhiyong also wants to take it, but his family alone will definitely not be able to eat such a big list, and the main business of the Qiao family is not in this aspect, so he must find someone to partner.

This coming and going will also require a large amount of silver, and this money has been lent out, what will he do when the time comes?

Besides, Qiao Zhiyong is still thinking about one thing, that is, the matter of Gengzi's compensation. He just needs to determine now whether this day is up to Wang Sirui or not.

"Old Qiao, if you don't help us, then we can ......"

"Alas, it's man-made, you guys do your best, I believe that Lord Qincha is wise, as long as we don't deceive you, your lord should understand our difficulties." Qiao Zhiyong sighed and said.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qiao Zhiyong ordered people to raise food and silver taels, and at the same time went non-stop to visit high-ranking officials who had a good relationship with him, wanting to find out some news.

It's just that the final result made Qiao Zhiyong very depressed, although he saw people, there were always a few soldiers around those high-ranking officials, and they never left even to talk and sleep.

Qiao Zhiyong knew these soldiers, although he didn't poke out any truth from their mouths, but Qiao Zhiyong had already seen everything, this capital was really controlled by Wang Sirui, and the troops in Wang Sirui's hands were definitely not as much as he said before. (To be continued.) )
