"General."

Inside the hall. Headed by Liu Zhixing, the three major officials, the owner of the six houses and Zhang Haiping, the prefect of Yingqing, were seated according to their official positions.

Everyone knew that Wu Nian was back, but they were all solemn and motionless. Seeing Wu Nian coming in, they all stood up and bowed.

"No courtesy. Sit. Wu Nianmu said without squinting, and went straight to the northern throne to sit down.

"Yes." The crowd thanked them and sat back.

"I pacified Guangyang Mansion, and things were all going smoothly. Now he suddenly had a bad relationship with General Toyotomi, and there were many turmoil. ”

"This matter of registered national bonds bears the brunt of the matter. What do you think you should do, don't have any scruples, you can speak freely. Although Wu Nian sat on the Taishi chair, his hands were not placed on the armrests, his back was not leaning, his posture was upright, his eyes were like torches, his voice was loud, and he was not angry and arrogant.

He swept through the hall like a gust of wind, making the atmosphere in the hall more and more serious.

Everyone wanted to speak, but Gongsun Sang took the lead, showed an angry face, and said, "General." Maritime trade. It is not only the government that benefits, but also those businessmen who make a lot of money. What is the benefit of these national debts? ”

"On weekdays. The government will allow them to do so, and they will never be embarrassed. Now the wind is not in the right direction, and they fall into the well one by one. really responded to that sentence, businessmen are ruthless, and dramas are meaningless. ”

"General. Want me to say. What if these registered government bonds are not recognized? Let them argue with General Toyotomi. It was General Toyotomi who wanted to block the sea, and it was not General Fuhan. ”

Gongsun Sang's voice was loud. It's just a special code, what can you do?

As a homeowner, he is well aware of the current financial difficulties. Although Wu Nian got the Guangyang Mansion, he also increased the number of soldiers by 40,000 households, and he also had to build warships.

This input may not be as good as the output. In such a situation, those foreign businessmen fell into the ground, which is really too much.

The call for repayment has always been the mainstream. Gongsun Sang's voice fell, and many officials present nodded lightly in agreement.

"General. I don't agree with not recognizing it. As the saying goes. Keep your word for a lifetime, and lose your faith for a while. If you don't have faith, you can't stand. It's a pity that the credibility we have built up with great difficulty has been ruined. I think no matter how much silver you have, you should pay it. ”

Zhang Haiping shook his head and said with his fists clenched.

"Cash?" Gongsun Sang was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and he blew up all of a sudden, and said to Zhang Haiping: "Lord Zhang." You're talking about it. Now the amount of money to be exchanged by the merchant is at least sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver. ”

"And the general attacked Guangyang Mansion, not to mention the equipment and warships of the recruits. It is the pension of the dead and wounded soldiers, and it is a large amount of expenditure. At present, the treasury is empty, and it can raise rats. No money. No money. ”

When Gongsun Sang said this, he shook his head violently, looking like a miser.

Speaking of which, the two have a good relationship in private. But now the positions are different, and they can only meet each other in arms.

Zhang Haiping shook his head and said, "Lord Gongsun." You don't have to lie to me. Although I don't know how much silver is left in the treasury now, I do know that I can still get sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver. Although it will be difficult for us to take out this money, it will definitely not collapse. ”

"It's a big deal to be poorer and more miserable."

Speaking of this, Zhang Haiping raised his head and hugged his fist at Wu Nian and said, "General." I'm willing to take the lead and take half of it. ”

"I'm also willing to receive half of it, but sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver, don't even think about it." Gongsun Sang hurriedly expressed his loyalty, but he didn't let go of the sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver.

In the Fuhan General's Mansion, it is already an old tradition for officials to take half of their salaries. Although he was a little poorer, half of him starved to death.

In the past, when the situation was bad, even the soldiers did not have any money, only three meals a day.

And now it has been changed back, starting from the three major officials and the owners of the six houses, all the officials receive half of the money, which can save a lot of expenses.

"Lord Gongsun. You can't ruin your reputation just for that little money. Zhang Haiping's voice was a little louder, and his face turned red.

"Hmph. How much is credibility worth? Gongsun Sang raised his head and looked like I was shameless.

Zhang Haiping was so angry that his liver hurt.

"Alright. All right. In front of the general, it is true that you are allowed to speak freely, but it is not for you to quarrel. Liu Zhixing shook his face and said in a deep voice.

The chief manager spoke very effectively, and the two looked at each other and calmed down.

"What does Changshi think?" Wu Nian was expressionless, allowing Gongsun Sang and Zhang Haiping to argue, and only then did he ask Liu Zhixing.

"General. I also think what Mr. Zhang said is right. It takes a lifetime to build credibility, and it only takes a moment to destroy it. For the sake of these sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver, it is not worth ruining the reputation of the general. But what Gongsun said was right. The treasury is already very pitiful. These sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver are really heart-wrenching. ”

Liu Zhixing shook his head and sighed.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, you said something, but it didn't seem to have happened.

Wu Nian couldn't maintain his expression either, and asked with a smile, "Long history." Are you going to be with the mud? ”

"Really." Liu Zhixing nodded, and then said his plan.

"General. Now it's the Toyotomi family, and we're caught off guard. And those foreign merchants bought the treasury bonds only after making money in the maritime trade. In this situation, they can only eat coptis dumbly when we repay the debt. ”

"If we pay them seventy percent of the silver, we will give them three percent of the silver. Believe that they will not say anything. ”

"It's credibility bad, but at least it's not ruined."

This plan is really muddy. Zhang Haiping and Gongsun Sang both frowned.

This white slip also ruins credibility.

670,000 taels of silver, take out 70%, that is also 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver. The solution was a compromise, but both sides were not satisfied.

Is this about money or face.

You can't have both fish and bear's paws.

However, this is also in line with Liu Zhixing's consistent style. He's a big manager, and he has a lot of things to do every day. And once you encounter a dispute between the two sides.

He is generally and muddy.

This is the prime minister.

Harmony yin and yang, regulate the world.

Of course. Sometimes, Liu Zhixing's attitude is also very resolute.

It depends on something.

The ten people present were all top officials of the Fuhan General's Mansion, and they all said how to deal with it.

Everybody is right, everybody is wrong.

Choose which method to choose and make a decision. It's Wu Nian's business.

The one who comes up with the idea is the one who makes the idea, and the one who makes the decision is the one who makes the decision. The power of the Fuhan General's Mansion and this building are clearly divided up and down.

Everyone stopped talking and looked up at Wu Nian.
