Chapter 702: Making Something Out of Nothing

A lot of people don't know.

In fact, money does not exist.

It's called currency.

Currency is issued as a guarantee by the credibility of a country. When the country's reputation is good, the currency is money. At a time when a country's credibility collapses, money is waste paper.

The current Fuhan General's Mansion is barely a small country. Theoretically, Wu Nian can issue money, that is, print money.

But in practice, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

But there's one thing.

It's also a good idea.

Nothing.

Thinking of this, Wu Nian suddenly couldn't sit still. stood up and walked to the door, and instructed the soldiers guarding the door: "Go and invite Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao, and Gongsun Sang." ”

"Yes."

The soldier bent down in response, and immediately turned and went down. But at this moment, Wu Nian saw Gongsun Sang walking towards here.

"Lord Gongsun." The soldiers hurriedly stopped, bent down and saluted.

Gongsun Sang bowed his head slightly, then crossed his own soldiers and came to Wu Nian, bowed and saluted, "General." I have a way of making money. ”

"Huh?" Wu Nian looked at him in surprise, then showed joy and said, "Come in and talk." ”

"Yes." Gongsun Sang responded.

So the two of them entered the room together and sat down.

"I'm sending someone to you and the three officials to discuss things. I didn't expect you to come first. If there is any way, say it quickly. Wu Nian looked at Gongsun Sang with appreciation.

This young homeowner really has a hand in collecting money. He had just asked the three major officials to delegate the matter to the hundred officials to make an idea, and Gongsun Sang had an idea.

Gongsun Sang immediately clenched his fists and said, "General." I thought I could set up a city department. ”

"Uh-huh?!!!!" Wu Nian raised his eyebrows, and his expression was a little strange.

"General. But am I wrong? Gongsun Sang was originally full of ambition, but when he saw Wu Nian's expression, he suddenly chuckled in his heart and said cautiously.

"Nope. You're right, but someone spoke up first. I came to you to discuss this matter. Wu Nian shook his head lightly and said.

"Huh!!" Gongsun Sang was full of frustration, and he was taken the lead by someone, which is hateful.

"You're a step slower, but it proves that you're serious about it. This is good. Wu Nian saw that Gongsun Sangyou was hit, and couldn't help but praise him.

"Thank you, General." Gongsun Sang suddenly showed a look of joy and said with his fists clenched.

Wu Nian couldn't help laughing, this is a talented and loyal person, but in the end he is younger. There is no city.

After a while, Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Wang Youxiao walked in with their front and back feet. After everyone sat down, Wu Nian told the matter of the city's ship.

As for the establishment of the city, no one has an opinion.

But how to set it up is a question.

Liu Zhixing thought for a long time before he raised his head and said to Wu Nian: "General." Re-measure the land and find out the hidden acres. It's already a lot of work. Now that the city department is being established, there are not enough officials. Many officers had to be called up. ”

"Also. The city is an oil and water yamen. If I let one family dominate, I'm afraid that sooner or later something will go wrong. ”

"It is necessary to let the household dispatch officials and the local prefect dispatch officials jointly manage it, and cooperate with the navy's Captain Li to maintain the operation of the city shipping department and crack down on smuggling."

"I have to send Gongcao's supervisor to serve as an overseer."

"Also. With the volume of Liaodong, it is enough to set up a city division. ”

Gongsun Sang nodded, arched his hand and said to Wu Nian, "General." Liu Changshi is right. Although the current officials can be trusted. However, the establishment of a yamen cannot only rely on the quality of officials, but also on the system to maintain order and put an end to corruption. ”

"Hmm." Wu Nian bowed his head slightly. Those who are officials are not greedy, they can't rely entirely on their conscience, they have to rely on the system.

The city is still a super oil and water yamen.

It is good that the central and local governments dispatch officials to jointly manage and supervise each other.

The city is also a special yamen. It is not one, but can be an infinite number.

For example, the volume of Liaodong only needs one city division. Merchants landed in this city and traded.

But what about the size of the Chu State? Important coastal ports have independent municipal shipping divisions.

"Let's set up the city division in Jinghai County. Handed over to Lu Sheng, the prefect of Guangchuan Prefecture, from now on, the maritime merchants of Liaodong going to sea, or foreign maritime merchants coming in, must go to the city of Jinghai County. Otherwise, it is considered smuggling. ”

"Like the salt and iron monopoly, those who smuggle will be hanged if they are caught."

"Also. For all kinds of goods, how to collect taxes, how to extract goods. Together, you discuss and set rules and regulations. ”

After thinking for a while, Wu Nian raised his head and said to everyone.

"Yes."

Everyone clenched their fists in unison, and their eyebrows showed a solemn look. It's a lot of work, and then the officials have to be busy with their feet on the ground.

Wu Nian is still the same, he comes up with his own ideas, grasps the general direction, does the work, and the people below are fully responsible.

How to be a hands-off shopkeeper, he is already familiar with driving.

"Whether it's re-measuring the land or setting up a city department. That's all good thing. But the results are too slow. I'm looking for you today. The city is one thing. The only thing left is to make a quick fortune. ”

Next is the main event, Wu Nian is full of happy smiles from his facial expression to his eyes.

The pressure to make money suddenly dissipated.

Joyfully.

"Huh?!" Everyone looked surprised, and then they all showed joy. No money, no money, no money.

This is a problem that has existed since the establishment of the Fuhan General's Mansion, no, this is a problem that has existed since Wu began to resist Mongolia.

Accumulate money quickly?

They are all dreaming of ways to make money quickly.

Wu Nian is by no means a person without a purpose.

He said there was.

It's just wonderful.

"Please show me the general." Liu Zhixing suppressed the joy in his heart, clasped his hands into fists, and said sincerely.

"This method is to borrow."

"I want to borrow money from all the rich merchants and squires in my three provinces in Liaodong, and from the merchants who travel between Liaodong and Chu, Goguryeo, and Fusang."

"I use the credibility of my auxiliary Han general Wu Nian as a guarantee to issue treasury bonds."

"Issuance of registered and bearer treasury bonds."

"Bearer treasury bonds can be bought and sold by the private sector. The issuance date is one year and the interest rate is 3% per annum. ”

"Registered treasury bonds have no interest and are not allowed to be bought and sold privately. It is issued exclusively to foreign merchants who are friendly to us, except for the Mongol people. ”

"Foreign businessmen who have held registered treasury bonds for more than five years can buy houses and fields and obtain household registration in Liaodong."

"If there are no national debts, then sorry. Let foreign businessmen sell the real estate in Liaodong. ”

"These two kinds of national debt."

"The issue denomination is at least five hundred taels."

"Issue 100,000 taels each."

"If we succeed, we will be able to make a fortune of 200,000 taels in a short period of time."
