Chapter 678: Where the Interests Go Forward
With the appointment of the governor of the nine sides and the issuance of the order of the nine-sided guard, the entire Ming Dynasty, from the east to the west of Gansu and Ningxia, the long front of 10,000 miles, immediately began to "move", and the atmosphere of slaughter immediately spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and a great war began.
Ordinary people are more likely to discuss this rare nine-sided governor, the battle of thousands of miles, and the topics in the streets and alleys, all of which are beyond imagination.
The dignitaries and nobles are not discussing the battle of the Nine Sides, nor are they talking about how majestic the Governor of the Nine Sides is, but more about what happens after the battle, for example, how to deal with the land in Liaodong and how to enjoy the benefits of this war.
Although they can't participate in this war, and they can't point fingers at this war, they all believe that the Ming Dynasty will definitely win this war, and it is not their turn to bother whether they can win or not.
The nobles, led by the British Duke Zhang Weixian, gathered together to discuss how to deal with the affairs of Liaodong.
"Guogong, look, what are you going to do now?" Zhu Chunchen couldn't help but ask about the British public Zhang Weixian.
"Alas" British public Zhang Weixian's eyes that used to glow are now full of helplessness. "Guogong, borrow it, now in this world, only His Majesty has silver, if you don't ask Your Majesty to borrow it, what else can you do, can you look at the land outside the gate and buy it for those people in the south for nothing? If you miss this village, you won't have this shop......" said another nobleman. They came here to discuss, but in fact they discussed the purchase of land in Liaodong, which became a "foregone conclusion" after the appointment of the governor of the nine sides. It is already an open secret that the land in Liaodong is to be bought, but no one expects to go there to pick up the bargain for nothing.
"Yes! Guogong. Look at what the newspaper says, sweet potatoes with milk, the best delicacies on the grassland, the necessities of living at home, marching and fighting...... Guogong, where there are sweet potatoes, you can raise people, and the land outside this pass. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid that we won't be able to find such a good opportunity again, so this time, we must take the lead! Don't miss this opportunity" Another noble simply picked up the newspaper to talk about it, and when Lu Xiangsheng was introduced in the newspaper, he talked about sweet potatoes and milk. According to what the Di newspaper said, sweet potatoes and milk are also one of the military rations in this battle of nine sides and thousands of miles, and the meaning of the lù from the inside is already obvious. By the way, it is announced that the land outside the customs is familiar land, which can raise people and turn it into money. "Alas" British Gong Zhang Weixian sighed again, tǐng embarrassed, he had already approached the emperor several times for this matter of borrowing money, but until now, the emperor still asked him for interest, and did not guarantee 100% profit for the nobles. He was afraid of discounting the capital, so the loan had been delayed, but today, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to drag it out, and even the people who had insisted on not borrowing money before could not resist the wave of buying land in Liaodong now, and turned to support borrowing money, of course, they borrowed money, they had to hold a group, and they had to bargain with the emperor if they were together, otherwise, one by two went to the emperor, and they couldn't get the most preferential interest, and it was easy to make the emperor irritable, so they all came to Zhang Weixian and asked Zhang Weixian to come forward to tell the emperor.
"Guogong, let's borrow it, didn't Your Majesty say it, and you are also eighty or ninety percent sure? If we miss it again this time, it won't be for those people in the south to press one head, at least three or four heads, I heard a news yesterday, those southerners are also ready to borrow money from the emperor, if we slow down, I'm afraid that the money in His Majesty's hand will be borrowed from them, and we won't be able to borrow anything..............." Someone hurriedly brought out the news. Hearing the news, Zhang Weixian was impatient again. Now the "southerners" are going north, relying on the powerful silver bullets in their hands, they are already on a par with them in momentum, they are really incompetent as the head snake, and they are pressed by others on their own land, they are really shameless, and they can't pick up their faces, and if they lose to them in the matter of buying land in Liaodong, I'm afraid that they "northerners" won't be able to pick up their faces.
"Guogong, now it's the lunar month, and it's about to be the New Year, as soon as the New Year starts next year, the big war is about to begin, who knows how this battle will be fought! In case it's over in a few days, then won't we be blind again" More Xungui urged Zhang Weixian, unanimously agreed to borrow money, and unanimously asked to borrow his nose as soon as possible. …,
"Alas" Zhang Weixian sighed again, today, he doesn't know how many times he sighs like this, but he regrets it very much, you must know this, he has long asked the emperor to borrow money, relying on the emperor's borrowed money to do business, and now he doesn't know how much more he wants to make, but unfortunately, his courage is still a little smaller, regret, regret, quite regret.
"Guogong, but I'm worried that my Daming will lose this battle?" Some people saw that Zhang Weixian was still silent, and talked about this thing that everyone thought was impossible, thinking that Zhang Weixian was worried about this. "There...... How could the national government worry about this ......" Zhang Weixian finally didn't "sigh", and finally said something. The actual emperor didn't hide the war from everyone, and he couldn't hide a lot of information and details, and the ministers were not all idiots, according to various information, they came to the conclusion that they would win, otherwise, they wouldn't have discussed so frantically to buy land in Liaodong. In the first month or two, there were quite a lot of people who watched this matter, but as soon as the governor of the Nine Sides was appointed, in the eyes of everyone, this matter had already been done, and the land could be bought. Zhang Weixian naturally believes that the emperor can settle the Dongyu, for this, he knows more about this than most people, and naturally knows what he should believe.
"Then what else is Guogong worried about? If the money is tight today, and Your Majesty still has silver, don't ask Your Majesty to borrow it, I'm afraid that no one will be able to borrow it......"
"Yes! Guogong, now the number of people in the north and south are gathered in the capital, the silver used every day in the capital is really a scary number, our little belongings, really can't be used, in the eyes of those people, it is not worth mentioning, if you don't ask Your Majesty to borrow one or two million silver, we won't come out and be embarrassed......" There are more honors and nobles bluntly said that it is good to borrow less than one or two million taels of silver. Zhang Weixian smacked his lips when he heard it, which is why he has been sighing and not expressing his position, their noble family is really empty, and many people have even taken out the coffin, how do you know that they have encountered the once-in-a-lifetime good thing of buying land in Liaodong, and now they want money and no money, and they can only grit their teeth and borrow it, the amount of this loan is not small, one or two million silver, Zhang Weixian, even if he is the first person in Xungui, he is also a little weak-hearted, I don't know if his face is so big, this is one or two million taels of silver! In the past, the annual income of the Ming Dynasty was not much more than this, but now he has to borrow it from the emperor, let the emperor take out the money single-handedly, and let the emperor give him a discount and charge less interest. Zhang Weixian sighed at this, thinking of the changes in the past two years, Zhang Weixian smacked his lips again.
"Since you all say so, then the prince will reluctantly give it a try, Your Majesty said, this is a rare good opportunity, let me wait not to miss it Since Your Majesty has ordered, it must be a profitable business, then let's put on the coffin and give it a try, however, the government can declare in advance, it is estimated that the loan is good but everyone has to prepare the mortgage thing, what the government can do is to ask everyone for a good interest, so that everyone has a little less money, do you have a problem? Zhang Weixian lamented that the situation has changed rapidly in the past two years, and he agreed to everyone's pleas for their honor, but now it is gradually declining, and it is often necessary to work together. "Don't worry, Guogong has been ready for a long time." Zhu Chunchen was the first to say that he was also strongly opposed to borrowing money and mortgaging at the beginning, but now, he really can't care so much, but he is the pioneer of borrowing money.
"Guogong is relieved to ......"
"Guogong is relieved to ......"
The nobles all said it was no problem.
In fact, it is not the first time they have discussed the matter of borrowing money and mortgage, they used to disagree, and they felt that they couldn't draw it, but now, they are forced into a corner, but they unanimously want to borrow money, as for the mortgage, now they don't dare to compete with the emperor anymore, and can only follow the emperor's circle.
The English duke and the nobles had consulted, and hurried into the palace to borrow money from the emperor.
When he arrived at the palace, he was not directly summoned by the emperor, and the eunuchs in the palace asked him to wait for a while, and only after asking did he know that Li Ruolian from the bank had arrived first and was talking to the emperor about things.
Warm Pavilion.
Yang Reform is meeting Li Ruolian, and he is talking about borrowing money.
"What the Qing family said is that many people now want to borrow money from banks? Where? Yang asked. Back to Your Majesty, yes, now the capital is talking about buying land in Liaodong, many people are ready to buy land in a big way, most of them are southerners, and most of the money in the family industry is in the south, and it is difficult to raise money for a while, and many people want to borrow some money from the minister, do some turnover, but the amount is too large, the minister does not dare to make a decision, and please make it clear to Your Majesty. Li Ruolian said. …,
"Did the Qing family say that most of them were from the south?" Yang Reform asked, how much to borrow is not a problem, Yang Reform has just copied the salt merchant's house, got tens of millions of silver, and raised funds to absorb a lot of silver, the reserve in the bank is so much, the issuance of one or two times the banknote is not a problem at all, that is to say, Yang Reform in the limit situation, can use more than 100 million taels of silver, for someone to borrow money from himself, Yang Reform is really not afraid of him to borrow, I believe that there is no one to borrow tens of millions of taels from himself. Yang Reform cared more about who borrowed, Yang Reform remembered that it was the nobles who borrowed money from him before, and the "southerners" had not borrowed money from themselves, but they had not heard the news of the southerners borrowing money, Yang Reform was in spirit, and the worries about the rest of the war in the north were completely gone. The "southerners" borrowed money, if nothing else, the "northerners" also borrowed money, and the people in the north and south borrowed money, that is to say, the war in the north has actually been tied to the interests of the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty, and with the interests tied together, everyone naturally hopes that the battle of thousands of miles in the north will win, and if they lose, it will be a loss. "Back to Your Majesty, yes, they are looking for ministers to borrow money, most of them are southerners who come to Beijing to do Lou Yi and find a way, most of them have poor turnover, or they can't raise enough funds for a while, and in the south, they are all people with a head and a face and a reputation," Li Ruolian continued to explain.
"Oh, is it? Have a head and a face? It's a good thing to have a reputation to borrow money! How much are they going to borrow? Yang asked reform. Speaking of this question, Yang Reform has only begun to have some spirit, not as boring as these days.
"Back to Your Majesty, most of them have borrowed two or three hundred thousand silver coins, and some have borrowed five or six hundred thousand silver coins, adding up, they will also borrow at least two or three million silver coins, this is only for now, and there may be this amount in the future, it is too large, and the minister does not dare to make an arbitrary ......" Li Ruolian replied.
"Oh, two or three million silver coins! Not less.
The bank can be borrowed, but it is necessary to strictly abide by the bank's regulations, the collateral must be strictly verified, and the interest must also be strictly treated, not sloppy, in addition, it can only be paper money, not directly to silver, this is the bottom line" Yang Reform came a little bit of spirit, said. "Obey the order!" Li Ruolian got the emperor's letter and immediately agreed.
Today, when encountering such a beautiful event, Yang Gai felt that the light was much brighter, and what was lent out was only paper money, and the actual bank did not take a penny out of his pocket, and in fact turned a corner, the money returned to the bank, and there was nothing more interesting than running a bank, especially a bank with the right to issue coins, and this financial leverage is indeed an interesting thing. Opening a bank, issuing banknotes, turning one silver coin into two, two silver coins into three, there is really nothing more interesting than this.
"By the way, Li Qing's family, now that Liaodong is about to be developed, your bank should also follow up in a timely manner, participate in the development of Liaodong, and lend money, you must give support, in addition to supporting those big businesses and big families with heads and faces, we must also follow up and support a group of potential, promising little people, Pingming Family, do you know why?" Yang Gengai thought about it and said again.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands, the minister thinks that the little people are easier to control, and when they become bigger in the future, their hearts will be more towards Your Majesty, and there is still a difference between them and those big families," Li Ruolian replied.
"Well, that's pretty much what it means, the bank still has to train some of its own talents, my dynasty has always had rules for the size of the system, this matter is naturally no exception, don't * feet, in addition, it is also to set an example for the people of the world, Liaodong's affairs, but also the affairs of the whole world, let ordinary people also see hope, you know?" Yang Gai said. "Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands." Li Ruolian replied.
After chatting with Li Ruolian about the bank for a while, Yang Reform let Li Ruolian go, today's news is indeed too good news, the interior of the Ming Dynasty has finally been integrated for itself, and this strength is finally the same as the foreign envoy.
"Your Majesty, the British are asking to see you." Wang Chengenyu reports.
"British duke? Come tǐng fast!
See. Yang Gai said with a smile.
"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed.
The British Duke entered the warm pavilion and immediately saluted.
"No courtesy, sit down." Yang Gengai smiled and gestured.
"Your Majesty Xie," the British duke, who was a little old, sat down.
"What is the matter with the prince coming to me?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask Your Majesty." The British Duke is ready to say this directly,...,
This is not the first time he has mentioned this matter to the emperor, the emperor has no room for concessions, he can only follow the emperor's circle, and it is useless to say anything else.
"Oh, if there is anything to do with the Guogong, just say, if I can solve it, I will definitely solve it." Yang Reform said with a smile, this Zhang Weixian is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, since he is here, it must be related to money, Yang Reform guessed that he was borrowing money, and now that the southerners have borrowed money, they are waiting for him to borrow money.
Both the north and the south have borrowed money, and if the interests are the same, the strength of the Ming Dynasty will be brought into play, and it will be difficult to win the battle of thousands of miles in the north. "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is here to borrow money," said the British Minister Zhang Weixian.
"Hehehe, borrow money? Guogong is short of money to do business? Yang is a fellow reformer.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, now everyone is ready to go to Liaodong to buy land, the silver in the hands of the ministers is really a little short, I want to ask Your Majesty to be kind and borrow a little money" Zhang Weixian said, his voice getting quieter and quieter.
"This is easy to say, I have said before, this business, when it is time to make a move, don't hesitate, this Liaodong matter, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it, Guogong wants to borrow money, no problem, as long as there is enough collateral, there is no problem to borrow as much as you want" Yang Reform said with a smile, borrowing money, after many times and months, after several months of planning, it was finally done with this group of nobles, and the interests of the north and the south were finally coordinated.
"Your Majesty, the ministers want to borrow one or two million taels of silver," said the British Duke in a low voice.
One or two million silver? Two million credits? Yang Gengai froze slightly, but he didn't expect that the courage of this group of nobles and nobles conservatives this time was quite great, and they borrowed so much money at once, it seems that they are indeed ruthless.
"Okay, no problem, just send someone to find Li Ruolian in this matter, and I will inform him to put the money, but the mortgage is absolutely indispensable, and the interest is also indispensable, and the bank can rely on this ............... to eat" Yang Gai said with a smile. Your Majesty, this minister has already prepared the things for the mortgage, but ............... is just a little embarrassed "this ......" British duke.
"If the prince has something to say, just say it." Yang Gai said that this matter has finally come to pass, and it is not in vain that he has laid out the situation for so long.
"Your Majesty, can that interest be less?" begged the British Duke in a whisper.
"Hehehe" Yang Reform listened, a burst of laughter, this group of nobles, is indeed timid and conservative, calculating, fortunately he has not pinned his hopes on them, but has put a lot of effort into those "southerners", otherwise, relying on them to do things so carefully, will definitely get problems.
"Okay, I should do this thing, however, the interest is not much less, otherwise, others should have opinions, this time, the national government should seize the opportunity, the future bank may gradually standardize, under the same conditions, I am afraid that there will be a fixed interest, the interest rate will be announced, will not be easily changed" Yang reform did not hesitate, in order to let the interests of the Ming Dynasty reach an agreement, in order to let the Ming Dynasty learn to speak for profit, Yang Reform did not worry less, did not work hard, now is the first time that the interests of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty have reached an agreement, Yang Gai felt that it was okay to make some concessions, let everyone taste the taste of meat first, and then the bank could gradually strengthen management in the future.
