Chapter 141 Common Interest Groups

Now that the matter is over, those business travelers naturally go back to their own homes.

The restaurant that was very lively before, but it has also returned to tranquility, and of course, there are also scraps in the hall, waiting for those shopkeepers to clean up.

Xiao Jingmao and Yang Chenglong didn't have a reason to stay here, so they left from here, but they were by their side, but they came with one person, it was Yang Chenglong's uncle Yang Xiao, just because Yang Xiao had a high rank and outstanding qualifications, so he was respected by many people as Yang Lao.

"Elder Yang, fortunately you gathered them together today, otherwise I am afraid that my plan will not succeed. Xiao Jingmao was very grateful to Yang Lao respectfully, if it weren't for Yang Xiao to bring those businessmen here, I was afraid that his plan would not be successfully completed.

Yang Xiao thought back to the previous scene and laughed unconsciously: "Treasury bonds? Is this the method you came up with?"

"That's right!" Xiao Jingmao scratched his nose a little embarrassed, and replied: "It's just that I can't help it, after all, the money and wealth of the DPRK and China have been exhausted because of the Northern Expedition, and the taxes in the treasury are insufficient, so I have no choice but to do this." Then he seemed a little helpless, and said: "I just hope that when they wake up, they won't regret it." ”

"Regret it? Maybe at first, but I think they'll be happy when they think about it. Yang Xiao smiled and said confidently.

Xiao Jingmao was a little unconvinced, and opened his mouth to ask, "Really?"

"That's nature!" Yang Xiao replied: "They are all from business travelers, so they naturally know that shopping malls are like battlefields, and if they are not careful, they may be wiped out." What's more, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if there is no backer, it is more likely that the whole clan will be destroyed. Speaking of this, Yang Xiao also felt that her body was trembling a little, but she remembered what she had experienced in the past.

Since he was born, the Jin Dynasty has been in turmoil and collapsed, and in the following decades, the entire Chang'an changed hands between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia, and I don't know how many times it has been experienced, only after the arrival of the Red Phoenix Army, the peace came.

"But as long as you have this national debt in your hand, even if you lose all the land in your hand, you can still exchange this thing for the corresponding money and land at any time and anywhere? Don't you think it's very safe? Of course, as long as you can have one of them!"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiao glanced at Xiao Jingmao meaningfully.

Xiao Jingmao smiled bitterly: "This is nature. After all, the lord has long agreed that no taxes in excess of the amount shall be levied. In desperation, I have no choice but to resort to this means!"

This alone shows that the King of Jin is far-sighted. Yang Xiao sighed.

When the Chifeng Army moved into Chang'an, the entire Chang'an was devastated, and it had just been robbed by the ancestral dragon, which can be described as the people's livelihood withering and all industries were in ruins, and then the Chifeng Army in order to be able to reorganize the economy, it formulated a policy of never giving more, on the one hand, in order to reorganize the people's hearts, on the other hand, it was also to establish prestige and facilitate their own rule.

Today, Chang'an City is not what it used to be.

However, because of this policy, the Red Phoenix Army had limited financial growth and was unable to rapidly expand its troops, which led to the fact that only one Northern Expedition almost exhausted most of the treasury.

"It's a pity that in the face of such a thing as the Northern Expedition, relying only on taxes cannot support it. If it weren't for this national debt, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to sustain it. Xiao Jingmao was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Zhang Wei next to him moving the pile of copies of the treasury bonds, he instructed: "You have all these in the archives, you must take good care of them, and there must be no mistakes or omissions, you know?"

These are copies of the treasury bonds, which are meant to be compared with the originals taken by the merchants, for fear that someone will forge them.

After all, the Red Phoenix Army itself is financially limited, and of course it doesn't want to spend an extra amount of money for no reason.

Yang Xiao looked at the thick stack of treasury bonds, with a look of seeing, and said: "Gathering wealth with treasury bonds, and then slowly paying it off in the future, just this is indeed much better than raising taxes indiscriminately." It's just a pity for those people! If they buy these treasury bonds, I'm afraid that even if they want to leave, it will be impossible!"

If you want the national debt in your hands to have value, you naturally need the Chifengjun regime to exist.

If the Red Phoenix Army does not exist, then the treasury bonds purchased by those people are equivalent to a complete loss, and this loss is unacceptable to anyone.

It can be expected that those who buy government bonds will directly transform into the staunchest supporters of the Red Phoenix Army.

Xiao Jingmao raised his eyebrows and replied in a low voice: "No way." In order to avoid a collapse like the Song Dynasty, the only way to do this is to adopt this method. ”

Although there is a change in Huayi, but this combination of faith alone is still a little loose, if there are various internal contradictions, it is still easy to completely collapse, but if everyone has a common interest, even if there are any contradictions, but at least there is a consensus, and will work together for this consensus.

Yang Xiao has been going on for a long time, so she naturally knows these truths.

It's just that he turned his head, but he asked Xiao Jingmao, "Since that's the case, then why do you want to take this way?"

Maybe other businessmen don't know, but Yang Xiao, as Yang Chenglong's uncle, has long heard about this matter.

At the previous banquet, although there was an accident like Rakesh, most of Xiao Jingmao's performances were pretended, and even the layout of the entire banquet was all a bureau, in order to lure everyone into the palace and buy the treasury bonds issued by the Red Phoenix Army.

Xiao Jingmao felt embarrassed for a while, after all, his mind was seen through, and this kind of strategy was really not a grand avenue.

He bowed down for a moment, and then explained: "Treasury bonds, after all, are a novelty, and if you rely only on ordinary methods, I am afraid that they will not accept it." You must know that the Northern Expedition is too important, and the money consumed in it is naturally not small. If the issuance is not enough, I am afraid that it will be difficult to satisfy. In desperation, I had no choice but to do this. ”

"But you have a heart. I just hope that this Northern Expedition can end as soon as possible, otherwise when the Song Dynasty reacts, I'm afraid that we will be bad. Yang Xiao replied worriedly.

Xiao Jingmao was a little surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Song Dynasty?"

"Of course!" Yang Xiao shook his head and warned the two: "Do you think that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty will sit back and watch you completely bring the entire Guanzhong into the scope of your jurisdiction? You know, if you can completely unify the entire Guannei, then you will be able to compete with them for the world just like Qiang Qin at the beginning." When the time comes, it is not a lie to force Qin to destroy Chu. ”

Xiao Jingmao was annoyed by this, and scolded in a low voice: "These Southern Barbarians can't do anything good except bad things. ”

He is not a dull person, since the Song Dynasty forcibly sent Zhao Mengfu to Chang'an, he already knew the other party's wolf ambitions, otherwise how would he design all kinds of traps, just to be able to abolish Zhao Mengfu's status as a prince?

Moreover, as the strength of the Red Phoenix Army continued to increase, there were also requirements to resist the Mongols, and they also coveted the abundant people's power and rich market of the Song Dynasty, and wanted to swallow it in one fell swoop.

As the situation develops, there will be a day when the two will meet each other.
