Chapter 706: The People Love Me
Morning.
Yun County.
With the incorporation of Nanhai Mansion into the territory of the Fuhan General's Mansion, the status of this city has declined slightly, but it is still an important city to protect the northwest of Jiang County.
After the end of the war, Zhao Yanting returned to Yunxian and was stationed.
And with the increase of land and cities in Wu Nian. Economic activities are becoming more and more active, and Yun County has also risen with the tide and prospered a lot.
Castle barracks. Today is not a day of drills, and the soldiers are either wandering outside or resting in their houses.
After Zhao Yanting sent away the county order, he returned to the captain's yamen in the military house, sat down in the hall, bowed his head and groaned.
It's been a long time since he became a colonel.
His position was already secure, but he didn't dare to have the slightest dissent. Don't look at the officers and generals in the army now, they are all promoted or recommended by him.
The whole army was also convinced of him. But the top and bottom of the army were more convinced of Wu Nian. Once he has any different intentions, he is afraid that he will be eaten by his own army.
Wu Nian, the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, in the entire Yingqing Mansion, is so terrifying.
The Year of Wu brought stability, prosperity, and a future.
The hearts of the people, the officials, and the army are all condensed in Wu Nian's body.
He believes in whoever is strong.
Wu Nian is getting stronger and stronger, and of course he is firmly following Wu Nian.
"National debt? I don't care if the interest is not interested. But my Zhao family is now a wealthy family in Yingqing Mansion. If I don't pay some money, what will the general think of me? ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanting raised his head and said to the soldiers at the door: "Li Yun." Go to my house right away. Let the steward Chen Ning go to Jiang County with 10,000 taels of silver. Keep an eye on the news of the national debt. As soon as the government issues government bonds, it will be snapped up immediately. ”
"Yes." The soldier at the door answered, and immediately turned and went down.
"National debt. Who came up with this idea? Borrowing money to pay for food, borrowing money to fight wars? It's a fantasy. But with the prestige and credibility of the general, it can really be done. I'm afraid that the 200,000 taels of national bonds are not enough for us to grab. ”
Zhao Yanting narrowed his eyes, full of surprise at the national debt itself.
It's unheard of.
What kind of strange person can come up with a national debt?!
.............
Jinghai County.
The staff rode a little donkey and returned to his house with two long entourage. After turning over and getting off the donkey, he immediately rushed to the backyard and found his wife, who was drying the quilt.
"Ma'am. I got amazing news. The general is borrowing money, and the interest is three percent. Wu Xing came to his wife in a hurry and said impatiently.
Mrs. Wu is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today and is very beautiful. The Wu family is not a big family, but they are also quite rich. Now the situation in Liaodong is stable. The couple was full of confidence in the Fuhan General's Mansion and wanted to buy the land.
Having money to buy land is the idea that the Han people have engraved in their bones.
But the problem is that the government is now very averse to land annexation. Moreover, the government protects the people very well, just like when there is a drought, the government allows almost all the people to survive.
If the people can survive, who wants to sell their land? Now the fields in the entire three prefectures of Liaodong are not easy to buy. And their family has money.
Having money to eat in the warehouse made the couple a little anxious. Lending is also a method. However, although the interest rate of private lending is very high, the money is easy to turn yellow, and the principal and interest are lost.
Now Wu Nian, the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, personally went out to borrow money, although the interest rate was not high, it was only three percent. But it's much better than nothing.
General Fuhan's signboard is a golden signboard. tougher than anyone else.
"And this kind of thing?" Mrs. Wu was surprised when she heard this, and then she showed joy. The couple quickly discussed and decided to take out 500 taels of silver to buy bearer treasury bonds of the smallest denomination.
.............
North Hill Fort.
Zhang Chaoyong drank all morning wine at a friend's house, blew enough cowhide, and went out leisurely to go back to his home.
Suddenly, he saw a crowd of people in front of him.
"What's going on? Is it conscription? Zhang Chaoyong thought for a moment and walked up. After learning about it, his complexion changed greatly.
"In this world, where is the reason for the government to borrow money from the people? It can be seen how poor the general is now. No, I can't. We have to help. ”
"Big guy. This year's harvest is huge, and every household has surplus grain. How about we sell the grain, and each family scrapes together five hundred taels and sends people to buy the treasury bonds? ”
"We don't want interest either. It is to support the generals. ”
Zhang Chaoyong raised his hand to attract the attention of his neighbors, and then said loudly.
"That's right. The generals who are poor have to borrow money to live. We've had a great time here. We're really not things. I'm willing to pay. ”
"I do, too. What is this tael worth? It's a big deal to tighten your belt and live a poor year. ”
"Let's go. We gather everyone and talk about it. ”
The onlookers immediately agreed, and immediately took action, this family will pay eight pieces of silver, his family will pay five pieces of silver, and your family will pay three taels of silver.
It was only one afternoon's work, and I had made up five hundred taels of silver. The population of Beishan Fort is not large, and the five hundred taels of silver are considered the money made by the people to smash pots and sell iron.
Let's have a poor year.
No interest, not even the principal.
Just to support our general.
Beishan Fort is the "land of dragon prosperity" and hometown of Wu Nian, and the support for Wu Nian is of course second to none. However, there are many villages and towns that operate like Beishan Fort.
Regardless of interest or not, it is right to support the general.
Zhao Yanting and other wealthy households specially supported Wu Nian.
The people don't want interest, but they also support Wu Nian.
Some outsiders and squires who have spare money want to earn interest and take a fancy to Wu Nian's golden signboard.
Foreign businessmen have taken a fancy to registered government bonds.
This national debt incident has caused an uproar in the entire land of Sanfu.
The 200,000 taels of silver bonds.
Already predictable.
It's not enough to sell.
.........
General Fuhan's Mansion, in the pavilion in the backyard.
Wu Nian sat at the stone table with Liu Zhixing and Gongsun Sang. Gongsun Sang said excitedly: "General." Judging by the feedback from all parties. 200,000 taels of treasury bonds, not enough to sell. ”
"Shall we send more?"
Wu Nian glanced at Gongsun Sang with a smile, and shook his head slightly: "Gongsun." Say you know how to collect money, but you don't understand it. This Treasury bond sells my credibility. If I say sell 200,000 taels, I will sell 200,000 taels. The additional issuance is to ruin their own credibility. ”
"Besides, if I have 400,000 taels, it's useless. Two hundred thousand is enough. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Nian said seriously: "Not only can you not increase the issuance, but you have to limit it." You have to prevent someone from buying too much. Well. Just limit the purchase of a maximum of 5,000 taels per person. ”
"Yes." Liu Zhixing nodded, and gave his hand to it.
Gongsun Sang calmed down, and knew that he was in a hurry for quick success, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Speaking of which. Debts that are not national debts are secondary. The key is. We've got money. Knowing how to do it. Treasury bonds are scheduled to be issued on the first day of December. ”
"You boldly recruited new soldiers, mixed with more than 40,000 Chu troops, and set up a garrison of 60,000 households. and arranged for the state of Chu to surrender troops and start a family. Rich. Let's do it drastically. ”
Wu Nian stood up, held his head high, and said to Liu Zhixing very boldly.
Lao Tzu is rich.
Spend a lot of money.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing said loudly, and his face was also full of red light. Immediately, the two got up and left the gazebo and went back to the front yard.
Wu Nian continued to enjoy the coolness. Suddenly. A rough woman rushed over and shouted, "General, General. Something went wrong. Mrs. Chen wants to kill the eldest son. ”
"Huh?" Wu Nian's brows were tightly locked.
What did this monkey do to provoke his mother to beat him to death?
Wu Nian immediately stood up, followed the rough woman, and left quickly. Soon after, he arrived outside Chen's bedroom.
The courtyard was full of people. Liu Xiang, Wu, Chen, Wang Ruyan, Xiaohong, and Li Ya are all there, as well as maids, nurses, and rough women.
Chen's hand was holding a very thick stick, his face was pale and he was panting.
Wu hugged Wu Min and protected him in his arms like a calf.
Everyone else is persuading.
Wu Nian glanced at it first and let out a wry smile. Although I don't know what's going on, it's really clear who is the loving mother and who is the strict father.
"What happened?" Wu Nian took a deep breath, crossed the maid, the nurse and the others, came to the front of the Chen family and the Wu family, and asked in a deep voice.
"Brother. Sister she's crazy. I really want to kill Min'er. If I hadn't stopped me, my legs would have been discounted. Wu's tears fell straight down and he cried at Wu Nian.
"This kid is born strong, and he can't break a bone. At most, swelling him. Sister, don't stop me, I want him to have a long memory. Chen's eyebrows were raised, he stopped panting, and said loudly like a tigress.
