This is Zhang Hao's second visit to the imperial capital. Last time, I recommended Xu Jie, Yan Qing, and Zheng You, and by the way, I recommended myself. And this time, it was "reformed"!

But compared with the last time, today's imperial capital is a little more chaotic and panicked.

The country of Jinyang is known as the 'Three Million Army', and it wants to 'destroy the country of Qixia in one go'. Such a slogan somehow spread in the imperial capital of the country of Qixia.

Officials are also actively refuting rumors, and using several big victories, as well as the elimination and capture of more than 500,000 troops in the country of Jinyang before and after, as a gimmick, but with little effect.

Zhang Hao could see the anxiety on people's faces, and even the faces of the soldiers who refuted the rumors were not so firm - such a refutation of rumors was even worse!

Zhang Hao slowed down, he walked through the crowd step by step, listening to the voices of the people. Gradually, a smile appeared on Zhang Hao's face.

Zhang Hao walked through the outer city, walked to the inner city, and then walked to the palace step by step. Then waited quietly at the gate of the palace, and after a while, Hu Yinglan came out and took Zhang Hao in. The palace guards' eyes when they looked at Zhang Hao changed instantly, and they were a little flattering.

Hu Yinglan looked left and right, and suddenly asked Zhang Hao: "These guards didn't embarrass you, did they?"

Zhang Hao smiled: "They have fulfilled their responsibilities. If it's in Zhang's house, I'll reward them and encourage them to continue this attitude. ”

Hu Yinglan looked at Zhang Hao in surprise, and finally nodded slowly, "I will mention it to the regent." But your senior brother, you have to go to the side hall to rest for a while. ”

Feng Zhiling didn't say anything this time, he naturally followed the guards and left.

Entering the palace, this time Hu Yinglan took Zhang Hao to the side of the main hall. Zhang Hao glanced at the main hall, the plaque above was 'Qianyuan Palace', the hall was magnificent, the aura on it was tumbling, and some palace guards were standing guard, but they were also practicing with their eyes closed.

Hu Yinglan led Zhang Hao to pass by the main hall, and walked for a while to a beautiful courtyard with a new plaque hanging at the door: Baihuayuan.

"It's not the Imperial Study?" Zhang Hao muttered softly.

Hu Yinglan said lightly: "The imperial study is used by the emperor, and His Royal Highness now lives in Baihuayuan, approves and reads chapters, etc. ”

In the Hundred Flowers Garden, there are not many flowers and plants, it can be seen that this is a newly opened place, and a few flowers and plants can be counted with fingers, but there are more officials here than flowers and plants.

As soon as Zhang Hao arrived, he saw Ouyang Si hurriedly walking out of the house, and when he passed by Zhang Hao, he just nodded and left quickly.

Under the leadership of Hu Yinglan, Zhang Hao entered the hall directly, but saw Liu Xinyu sitting behind the table, there were two piles of documents on the table, and there were several officials in the room who were doing things.

Also, Zhang Hao saw Xu Jie, Yan Qing, and Zheng You. The three of them, still dressed in plain clothes, stood aside and listened. Seeing Zhang Hao coming, a little brilliance flashed in the eyes of the three of them, but they just nodded.

At this time, what was being discussed was the issue of war supplies, and the country of Qixia was already very short of domestic supplies because of several previous accidents. Some people suggested raising taxes, some people suggested raising donations again, and some people suggested forcing the big families to contribute.

Liu Xinyu refuted them one by one.

After discussing for a long time, Liu Xinyu suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Jie and the others: "The three of you have also been auditing for so many days, do you have any suggestions?"

Xu Jie was the first to speak: "Your Highness, I think that there is a lack of consistent laws in the country of Qixia today. Ordinary people, cultivators, nobles, families, etc., all have their own rules of conduct, and the state's requirements for everyone are also inconsistent.

Therefore, it is time to sort out the law, clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, especially increase the rewards for small nobles, small families, ordinary people, some loose cultivators, etc., and guide them to serve the country, instead of being co-opted by big families, sects, etc. ”

Yan Qing said: "The so-called improper name is not good, I think we should guide the public opinion and stimulate everyone's sentiment to protect the family and defend the country." As long as this matter is successful, why worry about the uncertainties of state affairs!"

Finally, Liu Xinyu looked at Zheng You. Zheng You said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, the people have blood in their hearts, and I think that the people's blood should be stimulated through reasonable rewards.

The so-called chivalrous ones serve the country and the people, and let all the people know that no matter how capable they are, as long as they are willing to fight for the country, the country will not forget them.

Please let Your Highness allow me to govern the land of the three towns, and in a month, I should gather 10,000 elites!"

Liu Xinyu listened, smiled, and didn't say anything. But her eyes turned to Zhang Hao: "You're late! at least one day late!"

"It's not too late!" Zhang Hao confidently and calmly, "I spent this day making detailed plans and personally surveying the people's hearts.

I think the hearts of the people are available!"

Liu Xinyu snorted coldly: "It's very skillful to change the topic." Then tell me why the people's hearts are available!"

Zhang Hao said solemnly: "After my investigation, I found that the people are of course afraid of war. But at the same time, they want their country to win.

Many people want to do their part for the country, but they don't know how to do it.

I think this is the best time to launch government bonds. ”

"What are your plans?"

Zhang Hao took out a notebook and began to explain one by one: "First of all, it is for ordinary people. Most ordinary people don't have much wealth, and it is difficult and unaffordable to want to sell them bonds. Therefore, ordinary people take a village as a unit.

We should now have more than 200,000 captives in our hands, and we need a lot of men to guard them. In fact, these captives could be sold to the village as slaves.

Most of these captives cultivated above the sixth level of qi refining, and one person could top three or five ordinary people.

As for the control of slaves, there is no problem. I consulted some of the information of the Nine Yang Sect, and also asked my senior brother and the people of Yeyue Tower, which can be controlled through curses. For example, we often say: prick the villain.

As for the price, considering the affordability of the villagers, there is no problem at all with one slave for every five households. The price of a slave starts at 20 spirit stones. Cultivate to add one layer and add five spirit stones.

Allow people to pay with food, etc.

In this way, the people supported the state, gave the people a labor force, and let the people help to keep prisoners. And the most important thing is to let the people know that war can be profitable!

Also, selling a large number of prisoners can also suppress the current rumors among the people!"

Liu Xinyu nodded, this is indeed a good idea.

Yan Qing couldn't help it beside him: "We treat the captives like this, it's a little ...... Inhumane!"

Zhang Hao didn't reply, he didn't respond to Yan Qing's words at all, and continued: "In addition, there are some captives who are cultivated above the foundation building period, and they can be sold to commercial firms.

Price, starting from 100 spirit stones. Moreover, these captives are only sold to comptoirs and families that 'support the state and buy bonds'. To put it simply, it's bundled selling.

And then there's the war bond that we talked about earlier. My preliminary plan is to issue national bonds with a total value of 5 million high-grade spirit stones, which are divided into various kinds of pills, war materials, magic weapons and spiritual materials.

The value of the bond, the lowest is a high-grade spirit stone, and the highest is a thousand high-grade spirit stones.

There is no limit to the amount you can purchase. Initial bonds are divided into one-year, three-year and five-year tenors, with returns of 1.15 times, 1.3 times and 1.5 times respectively. The ratio of the three is 2:2:1. After the one-year maturity is recovered, the second tranche of treasury bonds will be issued.

The issuance of one-year treasury bonds is mainly to build confidence. The second tranche of treasury bonds, starting in three years.

In order to increase the credibility of the bonds, the state should use the corresponding goods as collateral. Such as regional taxes, land, etc.

In order to better manage the national bonds, it is necessary to set up a special agency, and I propose to temporarily name it the 'Industrial and Commercial Administration', which will be responsible for related matters in the future, including but not limited to bonds and prisoners of war.

The headquarters was set up in the palace under the personal supervision of the regent, and the remaining counties had branches, which were then planned according to local conditions.

Because the project involved was too large, I asked for help. In addition, the first plan of the Industrial and Commercial Administration was tentatively to issue bonds of 500,000 high-grade spirit stones and all slaves. ”

Liu Xinyu stretched out his hand: "Your plan, I'll take a look." ”

Zhang Hao handed over the notebook, Liu Xinyu quickly flipped through it for a while, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, time waits for no one, let's start now."

This is where the Commerce and Industry Administration was established.

Su Ming, the head of the household, you lead the relevant personnel to assist Zhang Hao. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at a female guard beside him: "Jiang Xiaoxiao, you represent this king, the Supervision and Management Bureau!"
