Sun Chengzong looked at Li Xiao for a full minute, and saw that Li Xiao was a little embarrassed.

"How the hell did this kid's head grow, and he could come up with such a method. In this way, the money for attacking India is actually paid by the Indians themselves. ”

"Indians are unlucky to have such an adversary as you. But this is also my luck for Daming, with someone like you leading Daming, hehe! I am a Ming people, three generations without worry! Zhang Huangyan stroked his beard, looking disgusting with old relief.

"Boy! How many bonds are you going to issue, the household will eat forty percent. ”

"Hmmm! The Ministry of Industry can help sell 30%! ”

"Didn't you two say ......, the imperial court has no money?" Li Xiao was so angry that he was almost speechless. When I asked for money just now, I looked like a poor clang, but now I see the benefits and make up for it.

These two old shameless ones, Li Xiao has a new understanding of the shamelessness of the two old foxes.

"Humph! With reliable returns and a large amount of interest to be taken every year, this kind of investment that is sure to make money without losing money must of course be intervened. Our household department just wants to make money in the treasury! ”

"In the future, you have to discuss this kind of good thing with us."

"That is, young people should not develop the habit of eating alone, so that they will not be able to mix in the court for a long time."

Li Xiao was so angry that he wanted to flip the table, these two old bastards were shameless, it was really fucking terrible. Li Xiao decided that for the sake of his heart, he would have less contact with the two of them in the future.

After eating the crab and boiled fish, the two old guys walked away with a shy stomach. Leave Li Xiao under the grape trellis to calculate how many bonds to issue!

He wanted to issue five million silver coins, but Ai Husheng said that eight million silver coins were no problem. In the end, Li Xiao adopted a compromise plan and issued a 20-year bond of 6 million silver coins. The interest rate was three times higher than that of the bank's fixed deposits, and Ai Husheng said that it would be higher, and finally decided that the interest rate would be two and a half times.

As for the interest, Li Xiao is not worried at all. Judging from the news sent back by the green beads, almost all the states that India cooperated with this time had mineral resources in the hands of Daming.

Among other things, the mere excavation of these deposits can fill this hole. And these ports and mineral deposits, the signed agreement is fifty years. In other words, the principal of the bond will be repaid after twenty years. Li Xiao can still make money from these mines and ports for twenty years!

How much money is this money, Li Xiao wants to calculate it, but he can't figure it out. After Ai Husheng calculated, he said that it was a lot of money, and the real wealth was rivaling the country.

Ai Husheng this guy started to promote it very eye-catchingly. When bonds and patriotism were linked, Li Xiao felt that even if he issued 20 million bonds, there should be no possibility of unsalable.

It turns out that the magnates of the Ming Dynasty are patriotic. When they heard that the bonds were to be repaid with the proceeds of the attack on India, all the magnates went crazy.

At this time, Li Xiao understood that his feelings had followed him to fight the world over the years, and they all became rich people. On weekdays, when I see Li Xiao, I cry poor, but now I can reveal my true form. Even Shi Kefa, who has always been known for his squareness, subscribed for 600,000 silver dollars in bonds.

These days, Ai Husheng is called a long breath, and he can't wait to look at the sky with his nostrils when he walks. In order to subscribe a little more, the magnates have reached the point of shamelessness. This kind of method of making money without stealing, robbing or embezzlement, is as sought-after as Tang monk's meat.

Zheng Zhilong relied on the fact that he and Li Xiao were in-laws, and came to the door in person.

"I said handsome, the family has a large population. There is this kind of way to make money without breaking the law, so you can think about us a little bit. Whatever you say, we're still relatives. ”

"I said Minister Zheng, who has a small family? You don't know how expensive housing prices are in Beijing now. When the younger generations buy a house, they will fucking take the lives of our old guys.

Dashuai, if there are good things, you have to think about the old man. As soon as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, Shi Kefa came in through the moon gate.

"All share! All shared! Li Xiao looked at the wave of people in front of him with a smile, all of which Ai Husheng couldn't deal with, so he pushed it to himself.

All of them were old people who put down their military power and were willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, and Li Xiao couldn't bear to be too mean to them. After all, although he had an advantage back then. But when it really starts, I don't know how many people will die.

It really made Daming miserable, but it can't be recovered in a few years.

Li Xiao knows that the war of reunification in history. Although later generations are singing praises of the greatness of the unifier, which great unification is not built on the corpse mountain and blood river.

Even if Taizu and his old man are portrayed as great, it can't hide the fact that millions of people died in the three-year war.

It's easy to reduce population, but it's too hard to increase. An adult man needs to grow up for eighteen years. During this period, there must be no disease and no disaster, and there must be no natural or man-made disasters.

But if you want this person to disappear, just a bullet worth only a few copper plates can make an adult living person become an adult dead person.

In today's ten years of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court is unprecedentedly powerful, and the people have a bumper harvest. But in ten years, the population has only grown to 200 million. Compared to the vast territory, 200 million people are really nothing.

Although the imperial court repeatedly advocated immigration, it also gave immigrants a lot of preferential policies. But except for the victims of the catastrophe year, no one wants to emigrate to Cyprus. The peasants, who had been imprisoned for many years by the idea of resettlement and resettlement, never thought of leaving the land on which they depended. Although, until the land is no longer enough to support their family, they will not consider moving elsewhere.

Taking the Northeast as an example, between the white mountains and black waters, villages are scattered and scattered. Where the land is fertile, there are people who cultivate, and where the land is a little poor, no one wants to plough it at all.

As for the Heilongjiang River basin farther away, except for a few settlements, it is thousands of miles uninhabited. When you arrive at the Outer Khing'an Mountains, it is simply a no-man's land.

Not to mention the more remote Great Northwest, then no one goes.

The reality is like this, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the two lakes basin, there are so many people that they are crowded into a lump. But in the northeast, northwest, and northwest, there are many places where you may not see a single family in a day.

Huguang is relatively good, but most of the population of Huguang is filled in Sichuan.

There is no way to do it, Zhang Xianzhong's bastard made too many sins in Sichuan, so that when the Ming Dynasty took back Sichuan, there was not much population at all. They could only emigrate from Guangxi and Hunan to Sichuan, and many times the immigration was a strong order, and the government forced the landless tenants to leave their hometowns with guns, and then redistributed the land after arriving in Sichuan.

The situation in Guanzhong was similar, and after a Uighur rebellion, Guanzhong withered badly. The population had to be relocated from Shanxi and Henan to Guanzhong, and almost every time they moved, they had to send troops to escort them.

Due to the propaganda of many scholars, the common people did not believe that the imperial court would give them land without money, and that they would not collect any taxes for three years.

Until he was taken to the ground with a gun by the soldier, the lieutenant told the ragged men that the land in front of them was theirs. These guys just squatted on the ground crying, looking at the vast land with teary eyes.

Many people have been tenants for eight lifetimes, and their ancestors have never thought of owning their own land. I didn't expect that today, I was escorted to get my own land. Even until the GIs left, many people still hadn't come to their senses, and they actually had land to plant, and they still didn't pay taxes for three years.

Fortunately, in recent years, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan have put a lot of effort into domestic affairs. Every year, many new roads are built, and most of the major cities in the north are connected by rail.

Cities such as Beijing, Jinan, Tianjin, Xi'an, Jinzhou, and Liaoyang are gradually becoming more popular. On the streets of the capital, there are more and more street lights. Nowadays, even in small alleys, telephone poles are erected and street lamps are hung to illuminate them.
