Chapter 163: Rich and Oily

Chongzhen wants to recruit villagers in Huai'an Mansion, and the cabinet and the military department know about this.

When they first got the news, the cabinet and the Ministry of War were fiercely opposed, because although they did not need to pay salaries like the border army, they had to take care of their food.

Xiang Yong's rations still have to be provided by the government.

But what the imperial court lacks most now is food.

Therefore, both the Cabinet and the Ministry of War are vehemently opposed to this.

It was not until Chongzhen proposed that all the expenses required to recruit the villagers should be borne by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but that the soldiers recruited from the Huai'an Province must also be handed over to the command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that the cabinet and the Ministry of War agreed.

The cabinet and the Ministry of War originally thought that Chongzhen would recruit 10,000 or 20,000 villagers at most.

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen actually asked Fan Zhongjie to raise 200,000 villagers in one go.

By this time, Lu Daqi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, had actually regretted it and wanted to take back the military power.

Therefore, when the news of Qin Wang Shizi's takeover of Huai'an Mansion Xiangyong reached Nanjing, Lu Daqi was anxious.

After receiving the Tang newspaper from Huai'an Mansion, Lu Daqi immediately couldn't sit still, and when he came to the cabinet with the Tang newspaper, he found his old superior, Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet.

"Old Shi Pavilion, how can this work?"

Lu Daqi said: "It is the duty of the military to train the township brave, and the 200,000 township warriors in Huai'an Mansion were also recruited by Fan Zhongjie with the officials of the nine subordinate counties, how can you say that they will be handed over?" ”

"Not so." Shi Kefa asked rhetorically, "If you don't hand it over to the people of the Internal Affairs Office, and don't hand it over to the Qinwang Shizi of the Shizi Battalion, will the counties under Huai'an Mansion provide rice and weapons?" ”

"This ......" Lu Daqi was speechless for a moment.

Where can Huai'an feed 200,000 villagers?

Not to mention 200,000, I'm afraid that even 20,000 villagers can't survive.

Not only Huai'an Mansion, but also Nanzhi and even the entire imperial court are now very poor.

Because this year's taxes have only been collected in a small part so far, the expenses cannot be reduced.

The lion's share is the income of officials and officials, and then the expenses of the clan.

In addition to these two items, the salaries that should have been allocated to the border troops of Wuchang Town and Xuzhou Town were still delayed.

Because the household department really can't take out the silver, let alone the more than one million promised before, and the ten thousand can't be taken out.

In order to prepare for the township test and Enke in the second half of this year, Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was cheeky to go to Nanjing's Xungui and Jingentry to raise donations, but no one paid attention to him at all.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really rich, and there is so much money that it is not far to spend.

As soon as the crown princess's Ming royal silver account was established, the Internal Affairs Office immediately deposited 20 million full silver!

[Note: The bank mentioned above has been changed to a silver number, and you can give more comments on such details that are not related to the plot]

This is just silver, and the Internal Affairs Office has stored 5 million stone of grain in the warehouses of Nangong and Yanziji.

On the other hand, in the Tai Warehouse of the Ming Household Department, not only the old officials in the warehouse were about to lose weight, but the rats were also starving to death.

This is really in response to the old saying, goods have to be thrown away, people have to die more than people! Why didn't Lu Daqi make a fuss, why is the Internal Affairs Office so rich? How did the court become so poor?

It's not right to say that you don't understand, Lu Daqi actually knows the reason.

All of this was because the saint took the official land in Xuzhou as collateral to issue bonds, raised 20 million taels of silver, and then took out the property in the inner court and sold it for another 5 million taels.

If the household department could also raise so much silver, the life of the imperial court would be much better.

Thinking of this, Lu Daqi sighed, and said a little depressedly: "Old Shi Ge, the Holy Internal Affairs Office can issue bonds, but can't the household department of the Ming Dynasty issue bonds?" Why don't we also issue bonds? ”

"Collateral is required to issue bonds." Shi Kefa said, "What kind of mortgage does the household take?" ”

Lu Daqi subconsciously wanted to say that he would take Nanzhi's 50 million mu of official land as a mortgage, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back, he was worried that if he said this now, he would lose his footing and drown in the Qinhuai River when he returned home after duty in the evening.

The 50 million acres of official land in Nanzhi are the forbidden territory of the Jiangnan gentry, and whoever touches it will die.

Lu Daqi was still a little unwilling, and proposed: "You can't issue bonds without a mortgage?" ”

"Of course you can send it." Shi Kefa asked rhetorically again, "The question is does anyone buy it?" ”

Lu Daqi was silent again, yes, if there is no collateral, who will send silver to the court flowers? I can still hear the sound of throwing the silver into the water.

After a long time, Lu Daqi said again: "It's still a great saint, and with a wave of his hand, he raised more than 20 million yuan of silver, and soon he will sell the second phase of bonds, it is said that this time he sold it, and the saint took out 4 million acres of confiscated official land mortgages from Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and the total amount of bonds totaled 40 million tons of silver!" ”

"What?" Shi Kefa was dumbfounded, "Forty million feet of silver? ”

Forty million, this number is obviously beyond the limit of Shi Kefa's imagination.

At the best of the Ming Dynasty, the annual income was only 20 million full silver, and now it is even more than 10 million, but the saint can raise 40 million just by selling bonds once!

Lu Daqi also sighed inexplicably: "The Internal Affairs Office is really rich now." ”

After a pause, Lu Daqi said again: "I have to say that this move of the Holy Lord is really powerful. ”

"The saint's bond issuance is indeed powerful, and it has never been seen since ancient times, just by virtue of this, the saint is enough to go down in history." Shi Kefa affirmed, and then changed his words and continued, "However, the disadvantages of the Holy Lord doing this are also obvious, and there is no hope for the Restoration of the Jingshi from now on. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Kefa let out another long sigh.

"yes." Lu Daqi nodded and agreed, "The Holy Lord took the northern land as a debt payment, although this move flattered the Jiangnan gentry, but offended the northern gentry to death, and from then on, the northern gentry will definitely deviate from the Ming Dynasty, and it will be difficult for me to recover the capital again, and the story of the Northern and Southern Dynasties may reappear." ”

……

At this time, on the banknote street on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, there was a lot of traffic and crowds.

More than two months ago, Yangzhou salt merchant Kang Wan rented the treasure banknote vault on the banknote bank street from the household department at a monthly rent of 500 taels, and officially hung up the signboard of the Nanjing Yi Institute.

It was also on that day that two pieces of news came out of the city.

By mid-October, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will issue the second tranche of bonds on the Shiyi Exchange.

At the same time as the sale of the second tranche of bonds, the marketplace will also officially open the trading of bonds, and bondholders can buy and sell bonds through the pre-opened account in Daming Royal Silver.

Since that day, the gentry and businessmen in Jiangnan have all been looking forward to the early arrival of mid-October.

The reason why the gentlemen and businessmen in Jiangnan are so enthusiastic is that they want to buy bonds, and secondly, they want to know how to sell bonds as Shiyi said.

Anyway, this time the city has really whetted its appetite.

In recent months, whether it is the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, the scholars who rush to take the exam, the ordinary people in the market, and the peddlers and pawns, they have been talking about the second issue of bonds and the imminent opening of the Shiyi Office, and even the girls in the South Courtyard have said this, and if you can't say a few words about these two things, you will be embarrassed to say that you are from Nanjing.

As for the gentlemen and businessmen from other prefectures and counties, they came to Nanjing early.

In the past two months, the business of hotels, inns, restaurants and restaurants in Nanjing has been particularly hot, and the girls who are engaged in the leather and meat business on the Qinhuai River are almost too busy.

And those small traders also made a lot of money.

By the end of last month, the opening date was set.

Because after more than two months of renovation and decoration, the treasure bank is about to be renovated.

In particular, the trading hall of the Shiyi Exchange was completely renovated according to Chongzhen's idea, and the floor slabs on the inner side of the "Hui" shaped warehouse were all removed, and a dome was added to the top, forming a huge hall that could accommodate thousands of people at the same time, and a central notice platform was built in the middle of the patio.

The central notice platform is a large square building.

The four walls of the notice stand are a huge whiteboard.

At that time, the clerk of the Shiyi Office will use charcoal to post the transaction information on the whiteboard, for example, if Waiwai A sells a number of three-year bonds at a certain price, and for example, Waiwai B sells a number of ten-year bonds at a certain price, etc., and all the selling information will be posted on it, and those who want to buy can see it at a glance.

If someone wants to buy, they can buy according to the information.

Once a bond has been bought, the clerk erases the message.

Well, in terms of software and hardware alone, Nanjing Yishou is much stronger than the Amsterdam Exchange, which has been established for more than 30 years, and the two are simply incomparable.

At this time, four major shareholders, including Kang Million, Fang Wenzhen, Zhang Han, and Zhan Yangzhi, as well as more than 100 other small shareholders, were standing under the central notice of the Shiyi Exchange.

Kang Million comprehended Chongzhen's meaning and was still very in place.

So I didn't think about eating alone with Fang Wenzhen and the four of them.

Instead, a group of gentlemen with good reputations were selected from the Jiangnan gentry, Hui merchants, Fujian merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Guangdong merchants and Yangzhou salt merchants to enter the stock market together.

Among them, Kang million has the most shares, only more than 200 shares.

The businessman with the least shares has only a dozen shares.

But then again, this is also because I don't know what the future of the market is.

Although Chongzhen has clearly said that if the annual profit is less than 30% of the principal, the Internal Affairs Government will buy back all the shares at the original price, but Kang Million did not take this seriously.

Kang million people have a high probability that they will produce 49 million full color silver after the year.

Therefore, Kang Million decisively pulled more than 100 gentlemen and businessmen to share the pressure.

Fang Wenzhen even asked the guys from the Shiyi Office to bring a ladder and try to climb up to write a message, perfect.

Waiting for Fang Wenzhen to come down, Kang Million asked Ma Minglu with a smile: "Master Ma, do you think there is anything else to change?" ”

"I don't have any other requirements here." Ma Mingluo waved his hand and said, "Just add one, which is also specially instructed by the saint." ”
