Chapter 705: Building Momentum!
Afternoon. The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.
It's very cool.
General Fuhan's Mansion.
Inside the backyard gazebo. Wu Nian was dressed in a purple narrow-sleeved robe, both majestic and noble, and was sitting on a stool to enjoy the shade.
Liu Xiang was dressed elegantly and sat opposite Wu Nian.
Their youngest son, Wu Ting, crawled around on the ground. Surrounded by nurses and maids, the team size is very large.
While the husband and wife were talking, Liu Zhixing came from a distance, followed by two Wu Nian's personal soldiers. The soldiers carried a basket of rice on a flat shoulder.
"This is this year's rice, huh?" Liu Xiang was overjoyed and wanted to go up and have a look. No. She wanted to go down to the field and cut the wheat and rice herself.
It's a pity that the identity doesn't allow it.
"General. This is freshly harvested paddy. This year has been a good year. The three provinces are all bumper harvests. The granary was full of grain. ”
Liu Zhixing came to the pavilion with a happy face, bowed to Wu Nian, and then took out a yellowed piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Wu Nian, and said, "General." This is the first version of the national debt. You take a look. ”
Wu Nian reached out and took the treasury bond and put it on the table. He got up first and went outside, bent down to look at the rice. Sure enough, the particles are full and in excellent condition.
Between Wu Nian's eyebrows, he couldn't help but show joy. In times of drought, he suffered. It's okay to have no money, but it's really impossible to have no food.
Now he has the land of the Three Mansions, and the grain he collects, of course, is also more than the time of the Second Mansion in previous years.
Wu Nian nodded, and then glanced at Liu Xiang, who was about to move. smiled and said to her, "Madam." You go down first. You also take this basket of rice. ”
"Okay." Liu Xiang suddenly showed joy, but quickly hidden, stood up and blessed Liu Zhixing, picked up Wu Ting, and took the nurse and maid away.
Wealth and nourishment.
This child daughter-in-law now also has the style of a lady from a large family.
"Sit." Wu Nian first invited Liu Zhixing to sit down, and then picked up the treasury bonds to watch. This paper is a bit special, Wu Nian has never seen it anyway.
First it's yellowish, then it's hard, and finally the surface isn't smooth, it's a little rough.
I think it was the craftsmen who racked their brains to get it. Wu Nian didn't understand, so he didn't ask much. He took a closer look at the contents of the Treasury Bonds.
The words were written by Liu Zhixing.
This is a treasury bond of 500 taels, and the interest rate is 3%.
"Good. Give me all the national debt. I signed and stamped the letter. You are in charge of getting the word out and letting everyone know as soon as possible. ”
"Yes."
Liu Zhixing immediately nodded and prepared to stand up and leave. Li Yong came from a distance. He sat back down.
"General. Xiong Wuself refused to surrender. He was training his troops and horses, and threatened to recapture Liaodong. After Li Yong stood still, he saluted Wu Nian with his fists and said in a deep voice.
"What a person you can't get around. Loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, generals of bears and tigers. Wu Nian sighed softly.
Let Chen Jiagui keep an eye on the movement in Shanhaiguan. Then leave it alone. Our main task now is to defeat the Mengyuan people and recapture Erfu. ”
Wu Nian said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Li Yong nodded, and then left with Liu Zhixing.
............
Jiang County.
The mansion of Kyogoku Yukiri. This young lady of the Kyogoku family, since she got on the ship of Wu Nian, has been staying here for a long time a year.
It seems that Liaodong is operated as a home field.
The entrance to the hall.
Kyogoku Yukiri bids farewell to an official from the Fuhan General's Mansion. He bowed and said, "Lord Chen." You walk slowly. ”
"Okay." The officer clenched his fists and turned to leave.
Kyogoku Yukiri returned to the hall, sat down next to the edge of the chair with plump buttocks, and looked up at Sosuke Kitahara on the left.
"Mr. Sosuke. General Fu Han is really ingenious. With the credibility and power of the general, this national debt is very, very powerful. ”
Kyogoku Yukiri's delicate little face showed a look of admiration and said softly.
"That's what Miss said. Now with the status of a general, it is equivalent to the king of Liaodong. It was unheard of for the king to personally come forward to borrow money. ”
"But it doesn't matter if it's a registered or bearer debt. It is very attractive to Fuso merchants. ”
"The position of the Toyotomi shogunate is already very secure, and some daimyos, merchants, and samurai who were once hostile to the Toyotomi shogunate are probably willing to spend money on this registered treasury bond. Prepare a back road in Liaodong. ”
Sosuke Kitahara also showed admiration and nodded and said.
It's amazing.
"Hey." Kyogoku Yukiri suddenly sighed softly, revealing a look of frustration.
"Miss, why are you sighing?" Sosuke Kitahara wondered.
Kyogoku Yukiri took out the red folding fan from his waist, pinched it in his hand, and sighed, "I once proposed to contribute 50,000 taels of silver to the general. ”
"If only he would take it. 200,000 taels is too reluctant, but with another 50,000 taels, I can still make up 100,000 taels. But he didn't want to take it. ”
"Because that's a human favor. The issuance of government bonds is a payment of interest or political protection. It's not a favor. ”
"It's a pity."
"yes. It is difficult to repay the debt of favor, but the interest is easy to repay. The general thought very clearly. Sosuke Kitahara couldn't help but feel pity.
During the drought and locust plague, he wanted to persuade Jingji Xueli to give up Wu Nian. Kyogoku Yukiri supported Wu Nian and helped Wu Nian tide over the difficulties.
Wu Nian immediately captured Nanhai Mansion. Wang Zhongbi is simply falling apart, not worth mentioning.
Looking at it now, Kyogoku Yukiri's persistence is really a wise move.
Wu Nian is getting stronger and stronger, and human favor is naturally becoming more and more valuable.
"Staring at the dots. As soon as the Treasury bonds are issued, we will grab a little more. Show your support. Kyogoku Yukiri said.
"Yes." Sosuke Kitahara nodded and responded.
Just as expected in the Kyogoku Yuki. At present, in Fuso, the power of the Toyotomi shogunate has been consolidated. This Liaodong household registration is attractive to those who are hostile to the Toyotomi shogunate, or who have been hostile.
The people of Fuso are the first to be enthusiastic about the purchase of registered government bonds.
The second is the Chu people.
In the country of Chu, there are too many messy things. Many wealthy businessmen are very interested in Wu Nian, the Liaodong Tiger.
On the contrary, the Goguryeo people were not very enthusiastic about buying registered government bonds. The queen mother was regent in Goguryeo, the political situation was quite stable, and the rule of officials was also clear.
Foreign businessmen are interested in the benefits attached to registered government bonds.
Liaodong household registration, naval escort to protect merchant ships, tariff reduction, etc. As for the interest on bearer government bonds, the response has been relatively flat.
As for the common people, merchants, and squires of the nineteen counties of the three prefectures of Liaodong (Haitian County), they were interested in everything. Their enthusiasm is frighteningly high.
The feedback from all aspects of the news simply made the people in General Fuhan's Mansion stunned.
