Chapter 238: War Bond (2)

If Li Shimin wants to completely exterminate the Turks and eradicate the troubles of the steppe, then it is inevitable that he will have to fight again. However, fighting a nationwide war requires a lot of preparation, and it is still relatively easy in terms of money, food and grass, and the key is how to make the people feel the same mind as themselves. If, according to tradition, the destruction of the Turks did not do their country any good, they only gained some steppes. However, these grasslands can be grazed and can feed a lot of cattle and sheep, so that they can obtain a lot of economic benefits.

And if the people can get the dividends of sharing the victory of the war, then the people will be very happy to completely destroy the Turks, and even if Datang fails for a while, they will be able to work with Datang in order to get back the capital invested in it. Therefore, the war bond was a very good thing, and many countries in later generations used this method to tie the people of the whole country to the chariot. However, this still depends on your own voluntary purchase, and if you force you to buy, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating.

Li Junxian first returned home from the palace and found Dugu Yiren.

"Yiren, now Datang Qianzhuang may have to start a new business." Li Junxian said.

"What business?" Dugu Yiren asked.

Li Junxian said: "I'll tell you a secret, now that Datang is preparing to attack the Turks, the news will soon be made public." This time it could be a big fight, or even a nationwide war, so we have to raise a lot of military spending. ”

"Do you want to mobilize money from the bank, but the money in the bank is all the people's, and you can't take it away!" Dugu Yiren asked a little nervously.

Li Junxian hurriedly shook his head and said, "Yiren, how can we be so unqualified in doing things?" This time, we are going to use the various branches of the money bank to issue war bonds. ”

"War bonds? What is it? Dugu Yiren asked.

"The real bond is very simple, that is, we borrow money from the people to fight the Turks. Then, having won the war, we will pay back the money to the people. Even. When the time comes, we will be able to divide all the spoils of war from the Turks among the people in proportion to their contributions. In this way, the people can also get the dividends of the war and can get great benefits. Li Junxian said.

Dugu Yiren thought about the pros and cons of this matter, she is now the president of Datang Qianzhuang, so she naturally has to seriously think about the pros and cons of this matter.

"Jun Xian, if the war is lost, what should be done? Is this money still repaid? Dugu Yiren asked.

Dugu Yiren immediately asked the key point, that is, once the war is lost, then I am afraid that this money will be wasted. Once it is lost, I am afraid that the people will suffer.

"Of course, of course we will. But it may be returned later. This war bond is actually an investment, invest in a war, and then want to win the war with your own investment, and then you can get a return. Li Junxian said.

Dugu Yiren also thought for a while and said: "This war bond is really a powerful thing, even if the Datang War fails, the people will inevitably stand with Datang in order to get their money back." Moreover, Datang can get a lot of money from these war bonds. Used in the war with the Turks. ”

"Yes! Now Datang has been recuperating for a few years, and his strength is gradually recovering. And now the Turks are snowing heavily, and this is the best time to kill them. Moreover, this war, the emperor intends to fight once. After breaking the backbone of the Turks, we Han were able to completely occupy it, build a city on it, and move the people there. But. I am afraid that the matter of migration will not be completed in the next few decades, and now we are just going to break the backbone of the Turks. If we don't break the backbone of the steppe peoples, then we can't suppress them at all. ”

"But. We Datang have just resumed their cultivation and recuperation for not many years, and our financial resources are not rich. Therefore, it is hoped that a large amount of money can be obtained through the private sector to raise war capital, so that the war can be maintained. Of course, for ordinary people, in fact, we only need to mean it, but it is just a useful thing to let them have the same mind with Datang, and then maintain the stability of Datang. The real large amount of money is still borne by the major giants. We will also share the dividends of the war with the mighty. ”

Dugu Yiren is the president of Datang, and because of the support of local heroes, he has opened money banks all over Datang's major cities in recent years. And the Duguyi people also obviously know how powerful the local heroes are and how good their financial resources are. In ancient times, those landlords and merchants did not have the habit of spending a lot of money, they all hid the money in the cellar, and then stored it for several generations. And since they had Datang Bank, they also put those large amounts of money in the bank, and then got some interest.

Actually, this nature has not changed, but the place of storage has changed. According to Li Junxian's preliminary understanding of economics, all this money that stays and sleeps is actually dead money. In ancient times, there were relatively few investment channels, and most people just went to buy land and then obtained the economic benefits of the land through the right to tax exemption. Not much is really used to invest in business, which is not only the discrimination of ancient merchants, but also the thinking of ancient small farmers, because although the land is not as profitable as business, it is very stable, and many times can have a stable income.

And with the profits, they are all hidden, and there will not be much for the circulation market at all. This is also the reason why coins were repeatedly minted in ancient times, but copper coins were not enough at all. The ancient copper coin, that is a pit. The people were hidden and not used for circulation, and as a result, the copper coins were not enough to be minted, which made the government speechless. The most embarrassing thing is that the officials of the ancient government did not know anything about the economy at all, and as a result, they still invested more copper coins into this bottomless pit.

"Yiren, we just want to collect this money and spend it on different people and merchants, so that we can stimulate the economy. When the time comes, this money will return to the people again, which is taken from the people for the people. I just want to tell the people through these things that war will not only not affect their lives, but will make their lives better. Li Junxian said.

Dugu Yiren looked at Li Junxian and felt frightened for a while. Li Junxian is also too rebellious, and he can actually use the war not only not to harm the interests of the people, but to obtain a lot of benefits. If the people taste the sweetness of war in the future, will the people kidnap the government to go to war? Of course, the Duguyi people also knew. If the people like to fight, then the government may not be able to suppress it, so what will happen to the neighbors around Datang? What about Datang? These are unknowns. (To be continued......)
