Chapter 243: Hot Selling War Bonds
After the parade, the people of Chang'an City talked about the parade after tea and dinner, and everyone was very eager.
"Old Wu, this time the emperor is amazing. I really didn't expect that my Datang would have such a powerful army, which is really an eye-opener for us! A middle-aged man said.
"Yes! With this army, we are no longer afraid of any Turks! Back then, the Turks fought to Chang'an, but they were repelled thanks to General Li Junxian. The middle-aged man named Lao Wu said.
"This time, this army was also personally trained by General Li Junxian, who is the nemesis of the Turks! I heard that this time I was going to conquer the Turks, and it was General Li who was fighting the main attack. ”
"Really? The Turks are in trouble. Isn't it the imperial court that is openly selling war bonds this time? Anyway, we have a few small amounts of money now, so we might as well buy some war bonds, and think of it as a contribution to the imperial court's conquest of the Turks. Moreover, if you win the war, you will be able to get war dividends! ”
"Okay! Anyway, the money is also placed, it is better to let the court use it to fight the Turks. Three years ago, those of us living outside the city were robbed by the Turks! ”
Those who were outside the city at the time had a painful experience. The steppe nomads are all sustained by looting, and in normal times, they would not have to plunder. But once the looting begins, nothing is spared. Looting has become a national characteristic of the steppe nomads, and they do not think that looting is a crime, but think that it is very reasonable. This is very incredible in the eyes of the Han people in the Central Plains, and there is no shame in robbery.
"Datang Qianzhuang, I want to buy war bonds with consistent money." A man who appeared to be an ordinary person said.
"I want enough money to buy ten dollars!" A man who seemed to be living in better conditions said.
"How can ten times the money be enough? I bought all my surplus for these few months, fifty dollars! A merchant shouted.
Hundreds of people are buying war bonds, because not only will they not lose money, but they will also make a return. Originally, the common people did not trust their army, believing that fighting away from home would not be an opponent of the Turks. But now Li Junxian's special guard has been shown to everyone, and everyone has confidence in special wei. Even. I also have confidence in other armies. They didn't know that there were only more than 10,000 so-called special guards, and the real other troops were not so elite. What's more, Datang can't afford to raise such a large-scale firearms force, which is the biggest problem.
"Good! Good! It's just a good thing that people are buying it one after another! Li Shimin shouted excitedly.
"Guanyin, do you know? I've gone through this time, and I can say that I'm at ease! Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin also did not expect that a military parade could produce such an effect. In addition, hundreds of people have applied to buy war bonds. Although this money does not seem to be much, it represents the people's trust in Datang. A sense of belonging to Datang. If everyone doesn't regard this Datang as their own country and this army as their own army, they will not pay to provide troops to fight.
From this small war bond, Li Shimin saw that the world had returned to its heart, and the people were willing to support the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world. As long as the people are converted, even if there are any careerists, it will be difficult to develop. The people can live and work in peace and contentment, and will not follow those careerists to rebel, this is the people's sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty.
As for the other end, Li Junxian came to Cheng Yanjin's house again. met Mrs. Cui.
"Mrs. Cui, what do you think of the army I trained?" Li Junxian asked.
Mrs. Cui replied: "It is indeed a strong soldier in the world!" ”
"And what is Mrs. Cui's idea of buying war bonds?" Li Junxian asked.
Mrs. Cui thought for a moment and said, "General Li, what confidence do you have that the Tang Dynasty will be able to defeat the Turks?" Yours is not right, no matter how elite it is. It's only 10,000 people. Why do you think that the Tang Dynasty can wage a full-scale war with the Turks and be undefeated? ”
"Madame Cui, although my special guards only have more than 10,000 people, I am confident that I will remain undefeated in the face of Turkic cavalry ten times my size." Li Junxian said.
Li Junxian did not say that victory was guaranteed. It's just that they can be undefeated. There are no absolute things in this world, so Li Junxian must keep a mouthful, otherwise he will be scolded by others at that time.
"Really?" Mrs. Choi asked.
Mrs. Choi asked. also turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin, hoping that Cheng Yanjin would give an answer. Mrs. Cui didn't believe Li Junxian, but she believed that her husband Cheng Yanjin would not lie to him.
"Yes, it's the first time in my life that I, Lao Cheng, have seen such an elite army. Moreover, according to their tactics, not to mention that the Turks, who are ten times their size, are undefeated, and even win the battle. Cheng Yanjin said.
After hearing Cheng Yanjin say this, Mrs. Cui also replied: "I can take out my personal private money, 40,000 yuan as a capital contribution, to buy this war bond." Moreover, I can go back and help you convince the Cui family to also come up with some money to buy war bonds. ”
Hearing that Mrs. Cui took out her own private money to buy it, it was already 40,000 yuan, which made Li Junxian very surprised. 40,000 yuan, that's nearly 400 million yuan in later generations, and a woman has so much money? Li Junxian suddenly felt a wave of envy and jealousy for Cheng Yanjin, marrying such a rich woman, I am afraid that he will make too much. I'm afraid that even widows are willing to marry home!
"Mrs. Cui, I hope you can help me convince several other families, so that we can get more funds, and we can get greater results in the future, and everyone will have more dividends!" Li Junxian said.
In fact, those who can actually get real war dividends are those who are big contributors. Those scattered contributions are compensated by funds. Only those who pay a lot of money will be able to pick their good things from the spoils of war. For example, pastures, foreign slaves, and even a large number of cattle and sheep. Those who contribute less money are probably not qualified to pick these good things at all, and at most they can sell some of the loot for money, and then return the principal and interest to them.
Li Junxian knew that if he wanted to impress these big families, he had to come up with actual benefits, not the kind of ordinary interest that could be dissipated. The big families can see those interests, but what they really value is the grasslands and various resources on the grassland. As for the interest, they will not compete with the people.
