After the ceremony, the officials dispersed and went home.

After Xie Xuelong returned home, his mood was still not calm for a long time, and the scene of thousands of people cheering, the border army shouting long live and the sight of more than 1,000 heads landing at the same time floated in front of him from time to time.

Today's ceremony of sacrificing the prisoner gave him a huge visual impact.

What shocked Xie Xuelong even more was a series of measures after Chongzhen returned to Nanjing.

This series of measures by the saint is simply dizzying, and I didn't feel anything before I thought about it, but now when I look back and think about it, I find that they all have deep meanings.

After the saint returned to Beijing, he did not live in the South Palace, but lived in the Guozijian and mingled with the students.

Then he invited businessmen to a banquet in Meixianglou and issued bonds, and suddenly came to the coal mountain to enlightenment, and then Ma Mingluo took the students and scholars of Guozijian and began to arrest people on a large scale.

Then it was rumored that the Holy Admiral was going to return the tax money.

Then today, 3,000 border troops escorted more than 1,000 Jiannu prisoners of war to Beijing suddenly, sacrificed their captives, and beheaded more than 1,000 people in front of hundreds of thousands of Nanjing officials and gentry.

These actions of the Holy One may seem casual, but they are actually closely related.

The edict was issued to convene the scholars of the world, the eunuch of the country was to entrap the scholars, Ma Mingluo took the students and scholars to arrest the sticks in order to return the tax and silver, and the sacrifice of the prisoners was to boost the confidence of the gentry, and all of this was to serve one thing, that is, to issue bonds in Meixianglou!

This kind of behavior is breathtaking.

It is entirely foreseeable that in a few days, there will be a rush for bonds.

At this time, the gentry and small people in Nanjing worshiped the saint to an extent that could not be increased.

On the way home from the scattered dynasty just now, Xie Xuelong heard the people on the street talking more than once, this time the holy monarch is in the court, and the Ming Dynasty is hopeful, and that kind of confidence is about to overflow from his face.

It's as if the slaves and the thieves can be exterminated with a flip of their hands.

Xie Xuelong's heart became more and more suspicious, did the Holy Lord really enlighten? Otherwise, how could there be such a transformation?

And if the Holy Lord has really enlightened in the coal mountain, then what are they fighting for? can't fight at all, how can their courtiers compete with heroes like Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Cheng Zuwen?

When Xie Xuelong was thinking nonsense, the eldest son Xie Xianhe hurriedly walked in.

"Dad, the bonds of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are about to start selling, and you have to tell your son accurately." Xie Xianhe said, "Can you buy this bond sold by the Holy Lord?" ”

"Can't you even see that?" Explain the way of the dragon.

"What do I see?" Xie Xianhe didn't have a good air, "You just say it." ”

"Fool, hurry up and raise money." Xie Xuelong Qi said, "Buy as much as you can raise." ”

"Well, then I see." Xie Xian and Daxi turned around and went out of the house.

The first batch of bonds is not a loss, and if you buy it, you earn it.

……

At this time, the situation in the Wei Mansion was similar.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xu Hongji directly summoned his eldest son Xu Yinjue, younger brother Xu Yaoji, and nephew Xu Renjue, who had become adults, to his study to discuss whether he should buy bonds.

"Brother, younger brother thought he should buy it." Xu Yaoji said.

Xu Hongji frowned and said, "Didn't you find that there was a trap inside?" ”

Xu Yaoji smiled and asked, "Brother is saying that the four million mu of official land in Xuzhou is not enough to pay, right?" ”

"That's right." Xu Hongji clapped his hands and said, "Not to mention the bonds with a maturity of less than five years, but the issuance of ten-year bonds is 5 million taels, and after maturity, the principal and interest are 30 million taels, and it takes 6 million mu of official land to be cashed!" However, Xuzhou only has a total of 4 million mu of official land, where are the other 2 million mu? ”

"Dad, you're wrong." Xu Yinjue said.

Xu Hongji was stunned and asked, "What did I do wrong?" ”

Xu Yinjue said: "Of the four million mu of official land in Xuzhou, only one million mu can be redeemed, and the other three million mu are pledges of one-year, three-year and five-year bonds, and cannot be redeemed for ten-year debts. ”

"Huh? Is that so? Xu Hongji was stunned for a moment, and then said, "That's even worse." ”

"Actually, it's nothing." Xu Yaoji said with a smile, "Even if it is just to pay one million mu of official land, it is still earned, five taels and one mu, less than half the price of Nanzhi!" What's more, the saint will definitely not break his promise, and the other five million mu of official land will definitely be paid, which is nothing more than to offset it with the official land of Shandong, Henan or the provinces directly under the northern government. ”

"What the second uncle said is extremely true." Xu Yinjue thought so, "The silver is lying in our cellar, and there will be nothing but ash, but if you buy bonds, you can turn it into a real official field!" ”

"Brother, I bought all the money in our house." Xu Yaoji said.

"You guys?" Xu Hongji frowned and said, "Don't you think this is too presumptuous?" ”

Xu Yinjue asked rhetorically, "Dad, what are you worried about?" Afraid that the saint will take our Xu family? ”

"You have to be on guard." Xu Hongji nodded and said, "Right now, the treasury and internal treasury of the Ming Dynasty are so empty, and there is a big war in the north soon, and there is an urgent need for money." ”

Xu Yinjue asked again: "Then my son asks my father again, if the saint wants to take our Xu family, even if we don't show our wealth, can we escape this catastrophe?" ”

"This!" Xu Hongji was speechless.

Yes, if the saint intends to cut their Xu family, he can't hide from it.

Xu Yinjue said in a deep voice: "So Dad, if you put a hundred hearts, the Holy Lord will not move our family, and the Holy Lord will not even move the sincere Uncle Liu Kongzhao, if he wants to move, he will have moved a long time ago, and it will not be delayed until now." ”

"Well, I think Yinjue's analysis is reasonable." Xu Yaoji said.

"After the saint arrived in Nanjing, a series of measures were all aimed at winning the trust of the gentry and the people."

"Okay, even if the Holy One won't touch our house, you don't have to buy all the money, right?" Xu Hongji said, "In case we can't pay it in the end, won't our Xu family lose a lot?" ”

"Dad, I can't afford to lose." Xu Yinjue said urgently, "The ten-year bond must be a steady earning." ”

Xu Renjue, who had not spoken, continued: "The ten-year bond is a steady earning, and the five-year, three-year and one-year bonds are also making a steady profit, which is a money-making opportunity sent to the door." ”

Xu Hongji frowned and said: "Then I don't understand, let's buy debts and make a steady profit, what is the Shengshang's plan to issue bonds?" Is it just for the benefit of us noble gentlemen? ”

"Of course not." Xu Yinjue said, "The saint is to raise money. ”

Xu Hongji clapped his hands and said: "Then the problem is, we have made a steady profit from buying debts, and the saint has also raised money, but someone makes money in trading, and someone loses money, who loses money?" ”

Xu Yinjue sneered and said, "The gentry in the north have lost money. ”

Xu Yaoji continued: "Hundreds of millions of acres of land will be lost. ”

Xu Hongji frowned and said, "You just believe that the Northern Expedition can succeed?" ”

"It's going to work." Xu Yinjue nodded vigorously and said, "You also watched the prisoner sacrifice ceremony outside Jinchuan Gate today, Jiannu was killed by our Ming Dynasty, so how could the Northern Expedition not succeed." ”

……

Wang Tao is a typical Nanjing gentleman.

first studied for half a lifetime and became a lifter, and then became a magistrate for a while.

But he was dismissed after less than three years of being in office, but he also saved a lot of money.

At noon, he watched the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners outside the Jinchuan Gate, and as soon as he returned home, he sent a housekeeper to invite a cloth merchant who was close to him to his home to discuss the purchase of bonds.

This cloth merchant's name is Sun Tinglan, and there is a two-room cloth shop in Sanshanmen.

After the greetings, Wang Tao asked: "Sun Yuanwai, you are much more shrewd than the old man in business calculations, according to your opinion, can you buy this bond of the saint?" Is there a possibility of losing money? ”

"The stakes are not small." Sun Tinglan whispered, "I'm afraid that the saint will not repay the debt." ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Wang Tao said, "The old man has definite news, the saint will soon return the tax silver forcibly levied by the Nanjing Garrison Eunuch Office in the past seven years to the merchants in Nanjing, plus the tax silver returned by Yangzhou, it is enough to prove that the saint wants to follow the example of Shangjun Nanmen Limu, so he will never easily break his promise." ”

"Tax refund?" Sun Tinglan was stunned and asked, "Really?" ”

"It's like a fake." Wang Tao nodded, "As long as you provide the note, you can return it." ”

"Then I'll have to look for it when I go back." Sun Tinglan was heartbroken and said, "In the past seven years, the accumulated tax and silver paid by my cloth shop is more than 1,000 taels, I don't know how much I can refund?" ”

Wang Tao said: "If there is no accident, it can be returned to 30%. ”

"Sancheng?!" Sun Tingli was overjoyed.

Wang Tao asked again: "Sun Yuanwai, you haven't said whether the bond will lose money?" ”

"No money will be lost." Sun Tinglan said with a smile, "As long as the Holy Lord is willing to pay it, this bond will be a sure profit, and no matter how bad it is, it can be redeemed at an ultra-low price of nine dollars and one mu to pay the official land in the north, and it will be made by blood!" ”

Wang Tao still couldn't believe it: "Is there really no trap in the middle?" ”

Sun Tinglan said with a smile: "It's nothing more than the official land in Xuzhou that is being cashed." ”

"So the old man is relieved." Wang Tao smiled and said, "Buy it as soon as the time comes!" ”

"It's better to raise more silver." Sun Tinglan said with a smile, "This is the first time that the saint has issued bonds, in order to establish credit, so the interest will be so high, and it will be impossible to have such a high interest when the next bond is issued." ”

"Okay." Wang Tao nodded and said, "The old man sold all the grain stored in several Zhuangzi. ”

……

News of Nanjing soon reached Songjiang.

Xu Er, the head of the Xu family in Huating, immediately called his only son Xu Fuyuan to the study.

"Father." Xu Fuyuan respectfully gave a big salute to Xu Er, like the Xu family, a gentleman who has been a prime minister, is the most particular about etiquette.

"Hmm." Xu Er bowed his head lightly and asked, "Have you made peace with Renzhong and Yi Zhong?" ”

"Back to his father's words, his son and Renzhong (Chen Zilong) and Yi Zhong (Xia Yunyi) are already reconciled as before."

"Very good, it was originally a misunderstanding, just say it." Xu Er nodded and asked, "Then do you still have correspondence?" ”

"When I reply to my father, I often exchange letters."

"Did the two of them mention Nanjing?"

"Father is asking, the saint is asking about the capture of King Zhaoqin?"

"No, what my father asked about was the Holy God's recent debt raising."
