Chapter Forty-Eight: Get the Merchants and Nobles
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then began to talk about each other
And Jingyu didn't panic, waiting for everyone to discuss the results before making a statement.
Merchants have always been shrewd, and this kind of thing can be understood at a glance, but it is just a matter of how to choose the profits
After two minutes, one of them stood up and said, "Childe, what are you doing with the new Third Division?" Can the future really be profitable? ”
Jing Yu put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Of course, it can produce huge benefits, and the three divisions are the 'Science Division', 'Gunpowder Division' and 'Stone Mine Division'."
“......”
Jing Yu looked at everyone with a bewildered expression, and then spoke: "You can wait for the opening of these three divisions to check and ask, I won't explain too much." ”
"However, the investable share given by the imperial court is very limited, and the three divisions are all set up by the imperial court.
Before the words were finished, everyone suddenly realized.
It seems that it doesn't matter whether these three divisions can make a profit in the future, and if they can have a relationship with the imperial court, they will wake up with a smile if they don't dream?
Dozens of people got up at the same time, and they all bowed their hands and said: "My Wang family is willing to obey the arrangement of the prince and set up three divisions!" ”
"My Gao family is willing to invest in the three divisions!"
"My Bai family is willing to invest in the three divisions!"
.......
Everyone was afraid that this rare opportunity, which had never been available since ancient times, would be snatched away by others, but you pushed me to get Ying Jingyu's approval
Ying Jingyu was overjoyed in his heart, so he could only stretch out his right palm and raise it to the sky, and waited for the crowd to be quiet before slowly putting it down
Jing Yu said: "Don't hurt your peace because of this, although the imperial court has set up three divisions to give a limited share of investment, but each division also has twenty places. In the future, the imperial court needs to set up more divisions, and everyone has the opportunity to set up..."
After hearing this, everyone trusted Gongziyu more and more.
Maybe... The money invested is really not in vain, if it can bring a steady stream of benefits, then why not lie in bed and do nothing, and have money in the account?
After figuring it out, the matter of investing in the three divisions planted a seed in the hearts of everyone, and in the future, we must keep up with the pace of the imperial court, so as to be able to invest in the new projects opened by the imperial court
One of them stood up and arched his hand: "What Childe said just now is not finished, is there anything else?" ”
Ying Jingyu nodded: "Yes, the investment department is only one of them." Second, I have discussed with my father, and with my father's consent, I am ready to issue 'Qin debts' in Guanzhong, and the imperial court has specially made 'Qin debts'. ”
Everyone is confused about this new term
One of them got up and said, "Childe, what is 'Qin Debt'?" ”
Jing Yu cleared his throat and said: "'Qin debt' is a kind of debt book issued by the imperial court in order to govern the country, raise money and materials, and fill the national treasury. ”
"To put it simply, the imperial court borrowed money from the people, and the merchants or commoners spent money to buy this 'Qin debt' book, and the imperial court took the borrowed money to invest in war or business, etc., and returned it after a certain period of use."
"For example, if a person takes 100 gold to buy a 'Qin debt' book with the same value of 100 gold from the imperial court, with a term of one year or two years, then after one year, the person will return the 'Qin debt' book to the imperial court, and the court will return 105 gold to the person, and 110 gold will be returned to the person in two years. This is a Qin debt book, of course, the money cannot be borrowed in vain, and the imperial court will pay the interest for the corresponding period. ”
After hearing this, everyone gasped a few times and lent the money to the imperial court, and after a period of time, they could not only return the principal, but also get some additional benefits?
Is there such a good thing in the world? You must know that the imperial court is trustworthy, if you buy this so-called 'Qin debt' book, isn't it a business that will make sure you don't lose money? ?
Everyone fell into a lot of discussion again, and they all discussed excitedly
This time it took a little longer than what the three companies had just discussed, because this wonderful idea really has its work
After all, the imperial court made this policy public, and it involved all the people.
If the court does not pay it back at that time, it will lose its trust in the world, and it will not be remedied with much money
It seems that there is no problem with how you look at this 'Qin Debt' book and how you budget it
But there are still a few people who see the problem, and after understanding that Gongziyu is a relatively easy-going person, a middle-aged man in a green robe got up without any scruples and said:
"Excuse me, Childe, this strategy is indeed wonderful, but when the imperial court wants to repay the merchants and citizens in the future, everyone will have to pay interest, which will be an unimaginable expense. In this way, in the long run, can the treasury support it? ”
Jing Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, it seems that the same problem still has to be explained constantly, otherwise everyone has doubts and is afraid that the policy will not be implemented
Jing Yu said: "It's reasonable to worry, but the imperial court doesn't need to lend money to the people every year, and the treasury will only issue the 'Qin Debt' book if there is a shortage, and not everyone can buy it." ”
There is no need to worry about the issue of interest, the purpose of the imperial court to open three divisions and reuse merchants is to increase the wealth of the country. The wealth has increased, and the treasury is tenfold full, so why should it care about these interest? ”
"Do you understand?"
Everyone suddenly understood the meaning, this Gongzi Yu is going to play a big game of chess... Thinking of this, everyone secretly gave a thumbs up to such an eloquent Gongziyu
It is rare to meet such a Ming monarch and hero, and he also put down his body to sit on his knees and talk with the merchants.
Its talent, its ability, and its power are like gods, and their thoughts are like vastness.
If you don't take the opportunity to hug such a thigh, I'm afraid that your brain will be bad, and the family will decline soon...
Everyone bowed their hands in unison and said, "Understand, Gongzi is a great talent!" ”
Now was the perfect opportunity to stand in line with the imperial court, and in a matter of moments, all the wealthy merchants and nobles raised their hands to express their willingness to buy the 'Qin Debt' book
This group of businessmen were all thoughtful, and they thought that they would bleed heavily when they were summoned by the imperial court this time, and they were all mentally prepared before coming
Which Cheng thought that now the imperial court has engaged in such a 'Qin debt', which is equivalent to the imperial court borrowing money from the rich in disguise.
But if the imperial court can really survive this difficulty, then in the future, it will not only get the principal lent to the imperial court, but also get a part of the benefits...
Everyone sighed in their hearts, such a wonderful method came out of the hands of Ying Jingyu, the Great Qin Taiwei, and for a while, the Great Qin Gongzi was once again raised in the hearts of everyone...
With this strategy, take a long-term view. Not only was the imperial court able to raise more Qin troops and equip them with more sophisticated weapons, but the result naturally greatly increased the possibility of preventing Chu Xiang from breaking through
And although the merchants paid money, they did not lose anything. As long as the imperial court is still there, there is no need to worry about the money invested in the waste
Now you must firmly hold the imperial court, which is Gongziyu's thigh.
Bound to it. With glory and destruction, it is possible to win the battle!
Ying Jingyu saw that it was almost over, and Zhengse said: "Everyone, you have to believe in the current court." We must believe in the current king and the captain! ”
"If you can work with the court to overcome the problem. I, Ying Jingyu, will definitely defend Guanzhong, and even if he Xiang Yu has a million troops, he will not want to step into Guanzhong! ”
"Yes, Childe!"
"Also, from tomorrow, the imperial court will set up an office in the Prime Minister's Mansion to handle the 'Qin Debt' document and set up a new three divisions. You can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invest in the three divisions or buy 'Qin debts', all of which are evidenced by the imperial court seal. Space is limited, so we hope you don't miss it. ”
After hearing this, everyone was itching and impatient, and they couldn't wait to take out the money to buy 'Qin Debt' right now
You don't have to donate money, you can still get a relationship with the imperial court, and you can get more benefits in the future, where can you find such good things?
All the wealthy merchants bowed down and said, "Yes, Childe." I will definitely come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to buy the Qin Debt Book! ”
Ying Jingyu nodded, a businessman is worthy of being a businessman, everything can be understood at one point. In the past, the imperial courts of various countries only positioned themselves from the negative point of merchants' heavy profits, which inevitably led to prejudice
As long as they are used well, these people will be the first to make Great Qin rich in the future
Jing Yu said with a smile: "This captain has a very good conversation with you, it is past noon at this time, and I have ordered someone to prepare food and wine." If you don't dislike the food of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will leave all of them today, how about having a drunk meal with the captain? Haha"
The hundreds of wealthy businessmen sitting on the bluestone ground looked shocked, and they never thought that Captain Daqin would leave everyone to eat and drink together
What is the identity of the other party? That's the most powerful person in Great Qin...... And what is a businessman? No matter how rich he is, he does not have too high a status, and all classes look down on him
Daqin Gongzi Yu is likely to be the next King of Qin, and he will drink with him... What signal does this send?
Everyone is not stupid, Gongziyu lowered his posture and left everyone to have a meal, everyone was flattered, and no one dared to answer for a while
Ying Jingyu waited for a while but no one responded, and suddenly understood everyone's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Then you will have lunch with this captain." The food will be ready soon, and if you are all gone, won't it be wasted? ”
Everyone didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and all knelt down on their knees and bowed:
"Gongzi Xie!"
