Chapter 57: Become a creditor of the court

Yu Wenkai reported seriously: "The underground sewage pipeline of Daxing City Palace has been basically completed, the construction period is earlier than expected, and now the construction of the palace has begun, and the city wall of Daxing City will also start to be built immediately, and the underground sewage pipes in each square area are basically dug up, and the construction period is also earlier than expected." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin sold a square area, Guangde Fang accounted for 149,400 yuan, all of which were filled into the account, and the overall construction period of Daxing City is expected to be in good financial condition."

"Other square areas will start to be sold one after another, and the planning of the hospital and the school has been made."

The operation is so good, Yang Jian naturally can't hide his joy.

But there is one thing that is not going well, and that is the school.

So although it was planned, it never came up with this matter, and the gate lord clan was not surprised to oppose the school.

If Yang Jian built Daxing City, officials and gate valves opposed it, and there were not a few who openly opposed it and secretly bought houses, because the appearance of Daxing City could only be said to have depreciated their assets in the old Chang'an City, and with the hot housing market in Daxing City, this depreciated asset could be earned, and Yang Jian was determined, even if he didn't stop fighting, they all changed.

Core interests are not compromised and have the potential to add value.

But the school is different, the popularization of the school, belongs to the core interests of the gate valve nobles will inevitably be damaged, this era of knowledge is the privilege of the nobles, this privilege is decentralized, those farmers' children, merchants' children, workers' children have the opportunity to receive education, then the innate advantages of the gate valve children will disappear by half.

Who wants something like that to happen?

The farmer's child continues to be a farmer, the hawker's child continues to be a hawker, and the gate valve's child continues to be a gate valve, this is the situation that this group of high-level people are most happy with.

But this is not the situation Yang Jian wants to see.

The situation of the Sui Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty is very similar, although the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but did not destroy the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, in the vast land, in fact, it was the original group of nobles who controlled the power in various places.

The Sui Dynasty was even more, Yang Jian let Yuwen explain the Zen position with him, the nobles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, except for the royal family, almost unchanged, and it was the same if they fell forward, the emperor had changed, but the aristocratic gate valve developed over the years had not changed.

Yang Jian became the emperor because he was strong, not because the imperial power was strong, and the respect or fear of the imperial power of the nobles of the gate lords has been weakened over the years, and Yang Jian became the emperor, so he naturally wanted to continue to strengthen the imperial power to consolidate the rule of himself and future generations.

The school has to be done, but it can't be done hard, the resistance is too great, and all the gate valves have sent those respected clan elders to talk to them, they are all soft fists, but they all represent their own opinions.

Guangdefang can run a school, that is because this is a high-end square area, and most of the owners are people who are gate lords, or the current officials of the imperial court, even the merchants are the richest ones.

Just mentioned the school, everyone thought that Yang Jian wanted to take advantage of this time to let Yang Guang talk about the school, and everyone was not good at touching the bad luck on the big day, but they didn't expect Yang Guang to say this was not about it.

Yang Guang stood in front of the steps, turned his back to the emperor, faced the ministers, and said with a smile: "I was ordered by the emperor to supervise the construction of Daxing City, thank you for your support, and sold some houses, but Daxing City costs a huge amount of money, and this money is far from enough, and I am not afraid of your jokes, I want to borrow some money from you today." ”

Borrow money?!

Everyone looked puzzled, everyone didn't expect that in such a scene, you actually came out to borrow money, you are the royal family, you are the king of Jin, you are the eunuch of Daxing City, you actually came to borrow money?

But in front of everyone's eyes, Yang Guang just opened his mouth to borrow money.

In ancient times, borrowing money was embarrassing, mostly secretive, who reached out in public like Yang Guang and blatantly said that I want to borrow money.

The people present exchanged their heads and ears, and there was inevitably ridicule in their hearts.

"To be precise, it's not that I ask everyone to borrow money, but that Daxingcheng asks everyone to borrow money."

They don't understand Yang Guang's words, how can a city borrow money? It is not a human being, can it still ask the walls of Daxing City for debts in the future?

The eunuch brought a box, and Yang Guang took out a piece of paper with the emperor's seal and words written on it from the box.

"This thing is called a debt certificate, a debt certificate issued in the name of the imperial court, you can spend money to subscribe to the corresponding amount of debt certificate, there will be an interest of three percent per year, three years later, with this debt certificate can get the principal and interest from the imperial court, these money will be used in the construction of Daxing City, Daxing City sales income is also in everyone's eyes, you don't have to worry about Daxing City after three years can not afford to pay, this debt with gold as currency."

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, although I don't understand it, I only think that Yang Guang is doing something very new.

There are also private loans, and the interest rate is very high, incredibly high, but very few people touch this thing.

Why?

Because you can't get the money back, what's the use of even if the interest rate is high, and human life is not worth anything these days, you borrow money and go out, beat and scold or even kill people, you can't get it back if you can't get it back, and the labor force is cheap, and you plan to let him work to earn it back for you It's a fantasy, people run to the deep mountains and old forests and it's hard to find, and the waist is not skilled.

On the premise that there is no basis for rhetoric and no physical guarantee, it is difficult to carry out lending in this era.

Now the imperial court has stepped forward and issued national bonds with the credit of the imperial court as a guarantee, although the interest rate is very low, but as long as the imperial court does not fall, then this bond is a sure profit.

It's just how long can the imperial court last?

All the nobles present couldn't help but ask this question in their hearts, the court has changed too quickly over the years, who knows what will happen next?

Although Yang Jian is powerful, how many years can he stay on this throne?

If the Sui Dynasty falls, what will happen to the money you spend?

Yang Jian's eyes were like eagles looking at everyone present, and when Yang Guang told him about the national debt, his first reaction was that this is a national debt, this is the loyalty tester of the courtiers, which can clearly reflect the thoughts of the courtiers and nobles about the future of the Great Sui.

When Yang Guang introduced the national bonds, there was silence below, which naturally reflected everyone's psychological state.

Yang Jian gave Yang Yong a look, although the prince was unwilling to help Yang Guang, but he understood that this was not Yang Guang's business, it was related to the Great Sui, and it was a policy that his father also promoted, so he had to stand up.

"Can the sons buy the treasury bonds sold by the father?"

"Yes."

"Erchen wants to subscribe for a treasury bond of 1,000 taels of gold, and I will be your creditor in the future."

The prince took the money, but he also wanted to suppress Yang Guang.

Yang Guang smiled: "If you buy treasury bonds, you are naturally a creditor, but not my creditor, don't hide it from my eldest brother, I bought all my money in my house except for daily expenses. The court kept the money for me, I am not afraid of people stealing, I am not afraid of people robbing, and I will take interest when it expires, I am happy to think about it, are you worried that we will not be able to pay the money in three years? ”

As soon as Yang Guang's question came out, everyone could understand it.

The prince and the king of Jin have both bought it, can the prince's party still buy it? How much is a little meaning, the minimum purchase of 50 taels of gold is not much, and the people present can take it out, so they need to buy more for the sake of face.

Yang Jian watched with satisfaction as the people who subscribed to sign up, and he figured out that there was a greater benefit of treasury bonds, and anyone who bought treasury bonds, especially those with large denomination treasury bonds, wanted the imperial court to be stable more than anyone else, so that his money would not be wasted.

Looking at Yang Guang's back, he didn't know if Yang Guang, who put forward this idea, had this intention, and if he got the money, he could help stabilize the situation, what kind of mind he was.
