In the afternoon, the sun is bright and the breeze is gentle.

Very cool.

Fu Han General's Mansion.

In the backyard pavilion, Wu Nian, wearing a purple narrow-sleeved dress, looking both majestic and noble, was sitting on a stool enjoying the cool air.

Liu Xiang, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, sat opposite Wu Nian.

Their youngest son, Wu Ting, was crawling around on the ground. He was surrounded by nannies and maids, and the team was very large.

While the couple was talking, Liu Zhixing came from a distance, followed by two soldiers of Wu Nian. The soldiers carried a basket of rice on a pole.

"Is this this year's rice?" Liu Xiang looked delighted and wanted to go up and have a look. No. She wanted to go to the fields to cut the wheat and rice in person.

It's a pity that my identity does not allow it.

"General, this is the rice that has just been harvested. The weather has been good this year. The three prefectures have had a bumper harvest. The granaries are full of grain."

Liu Zhixing came to the pavilion with a happy face, bowed to Wu Nian and saluted, then took out a piece of yellowed paper from his arms, handed it to Wu Nian, and said: "General, this is the first of the national debt."

Please take a look at it."

Wu Nian reached out and took the national debt and put it on the table. He stood up first and went outside. He bent down and looked at the rice. Sure enough, the grains were full and in excellent condition.

Wu Nian's eyebrows couldn't help but reveal a happy look. During the drought, he suffered a loss. It was okay to have no money, but it was absolutely impossible to have no food.

Now that he has the land of the third mansion, he can harvest more grain than he did in the second mansion in previous years.

Wu Nian nodded, then glanced at Liu Xiang, who was about to move. He smiled and said to her: "Madam, you go down first. You also take this basket of rice with you."

"Okay." Liu Xiang suddenly showed joy, but quickly concealed it, stood up and blessed Liu Zhi, picked up Wu Ting, took the nanny, and the maids away together.

Wealth nourishes people.

This child bride now has the air of a lady from a wealthy family.

"Sit down." Wu Nian first invited Liu Zhixing to sit down, then picked up the national debt and looked at it. This piece of paper was a bit special, and Wu Nian had never seen it before.

First, it turns yellow, then the texture is very hard, and finally the surface is not smooth and somewhat rough.

It must have been made by craftsmen who racked their brains. Wu Nian didn't understand, so he didn't ask any more questions. He looked carefully at the contents of the national debt.

The words were written by Liu Zhixing.

This is a 500-tael treasury bond with a stated interest rate of 3%.

"Okay. Give me all the national debt. I'll sign and stamp it, and then stamp it. You are responsible for publicity and letting everyone know as soon as possible."

"yes."

Liu Zhixing nodded immediately and was about to stand up and leave. Li Yong came from a distance. He sat back down again.

"General Xiong Wuwo refused to persuade him to surrender. He is training his troops and threatening to take back Liaodong." After Li Yong stood still, he cupped his fists and saluted Wu Nian, and said in a deep voice.

"He is such a person that you can't get around. He is a loyal minister and a righteous man, and he is a general of bears and tigers." Wu Young Man sighed softly.

"Let Chen Jiagui pay close attention to the movements in Shanhaiguan. Then leave it alone. Our main task now is to defeat the Meng Yuan people and recapture the second mansion."

Wu Nian said in a deep voice.

"yes."

Li Yong nodded and left with Liu Zhixing.

............

Jiang County.

Kyogoku Yuki's mansion. This young lady from the Kyogoku family has been staying here for a long time every year since she boarded Wu Nian's ship.

It seems that Liaodong is treated as its home field.

The door of the hall.

Kyogoku Xueli bid farewell to an official from the General's Office assisting the Han Dynasty. He bowed and said, "Master Chen, please go slowly."

"Okay." The official clasped his fists in salute, turned and left.

Kyogoku Yuki returned to the main room, sat down on the edge of the chair with her plump buttocks, and looked up at Kitahara Sosuke on the left.

"Mr. Cang Jie, General Fu Han is really ingenious. With the general's reputation and power, this national debt is very, very powerful."

Kyogoku Yuki's delicate little face showed a look of admiration, and she said softly.

"What the lady is saying is that the current status of a general is equivalent to that of the King of Liaodong. It is really unheard of for the King to personally lend money."

"But whether it is a registered treasury bond or an unregistered treasury bond, it is very attractive to Fuso businessmen."

"The position of the Toyotomi shogunate has been very stable. Some daimyo, businessmen, and samurai who were once hostile to the Toyotomi shogunate are probably very willing to spend money to buy this registered national debt. Prepare a way out in Liaodong."

Kithara Sosuke also showed admiration, nodded and said.

It's really awesome.

"Hey." Kyogoku Yuki suddenly sighed softly, showing a look of frustration.

"Miss, why are you sighing?" Kitahara Sosuke asked doubtfully.

Kyogoku Yuki took out the red folding fan from her waist, held it in her hand, and sighed: "I once proposed to contribute fifty thousand taels of silver to the general."

"If he is willing to accept it, two hundred thousand taels is too reluctant, but I can still add another fifty thousand taels to make up a hundred thousand taels. But he is not willing to accept it."

"Because it's a favor. But issuing national bonds means paying interest or giving political protection. It's not a favor."

"What a pity."

"That's right. It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude, but it's easy to repay the interest. The general thought very clearly." Kitahara Sosuke couldn't help but feel pity.

During the drought and locust plague, he originally wanted to persuade Kyogoku Yukiri to give up Wu Nian. Kyogoku Yukiri fully supported Wu Nian and helped Wu Nian overcome the difficulties.

Wu Nian immediately captured Nanhai Mansion. Wang Zhongbi simply collapsed and was not worth mentioning.

Looking at it now, Kyogoku Yukiri's persistence was really a wise move.

As Wu Nian becomes stronger and stronger, favors naturally become more and more valuable.

"Keep an eye on it. Once the national bonds are issued, we will grab more to show our support." Kyogoku Yuki said.

"Yes." Kithara Sosuke nodded and responded.

Just as Kyogoku Yuki expected, the power of the Toyotomi Shogunate has been consolidated in Fuso. This Liaodong household registration is very attractive to those who are hostile to the Toyotomi Shogunate, or have been hostile.

Fuso people are the most enthusiastic about purchasing registered treasury bonds.

Next are the people of Chu.

There are too many messy things in the Chu Kingdom. Many wealthy businessmen are very interested in Wu Nian, the Liaodong Tiger.

On the contrary, the Goguryeo people were not very enthusiastic about buying registered government bonds. With the Queen Mother regent in Goguryeo, the political situation was relatively stable and the government was fairly clear.

Foreign businessmen are very interested in the benefits attached to registered government bonds.

Liaodong household registration, naval escort and protection of merchant ships, tariff reduction and exemption, etc. Regarding the interest on bearer treasury bonds, the response is relatively flat.

As for the people, businessmen, and gentry in the nineteen counties (Haitian County) of the three prefectures of Liaodong, they were interested in everything. Their enthusiasm was frighteningly high.
