Chapter 917 Shameless...(1/2)
Borrow money?
These two words almost made Zhu Houzhao unsteady.
He changed his position and stroked his lower skirt.
He looked at Zhao Ce with a little stunned.
These two words are really not as good as Zhao Ce can say.
On the contrary, it is a trick he usually uses.
But borrowing money to fight wars seems a bit unreasonable.
Zhu Houzhao repeated: "You, are you telling me and my father to borrow money to fight?"
Zhao Ce nodded and said affirmatively: "Not bad."
"This is the fastest way I can think of to make money."
"Of course, you can't just focus on one person to get money by borrowing money."
"So I suggest that our Ming Dynasty issue a treasury bond, which is specifically used to raise war funds."
"Treasury bond?"
Zhu Houzhao listened to these two words fresh, but he could literally understand the meaning of these two words.
"You mean, let the entire Ming Dynasty bear debt?"
"Who should I ask for loan this?"
Zhao Ce smiled and said, "There are so many wealthy businessmen and big families in the Ming Dynasty, and they are the main targets for our issuance of national debts."
"Of course, if ordinary people have extra money in their families, they can naturally participate."
"At that time, we will send out a few IOUs that said the court's debts, that is, national debts."
"You can pay a small portion of interest every year and get a large amount of real money back."
"Isn't this problem of lack of military expenditure in wars solved?"
The abacus was very loud, and Zhu Houzhao felt a little disbelief.
"But if those rich businessmen and big families knew that our Ming court owed them silver."
"What if the court fails to pay it back then, they use this as a way to control the court and ask the court to grant them high officials and generous salaries, what should we do?"
"Or they are instructive about the imperial court's decrees and no longer obey the imperial court's discipline."
"In this way, will everyone below be in chaos?"
If you raise the business tax itself, you may be suspected of raising the status of a businessman.
Now that the court is asked to owe money from those merchants, isn’t the status of these merchants even more uncontrollable?
Moreover, when fighting, you are going to burn money, and you can't see where the reward is.
I guess I can't pay back the money I borrowed.
It is very likely that the money his father borrowed at this time still owes a lot of debts after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne.
Zhao Ce glanced at Zhu Houzhao meaningfully.
"Whose money did Your Highness owe?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment.
Then he felt a little embarrassed and whispered "Oh".
"I owe some..."
"Have you paid back the money you owe?"
"Haha, yet, not yet..."
"So, the money owed by Your Highness has not been paid back yet. Whoever lends money to Your Highness will point fingers at you?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned again.
He replied stupidly: "No..."
"Yes! Never!"
Zhu Houzhao patted her thighs and felt that she understood a little.
"You mean, even if I can't pay the money, what can't others do to us?"
"At most, I'll curse a few words behind my back!"
"Yes, why didn't I expect it for a moment?"
"Isn't this the same thing as my palace borrowing money from my uncle?"
Zhu Houzhao was happy and felt that she had found a better way to make money.
This time, the object of his borrowing money can be expanded from his uncle to more other people!
He said happily: "You are right!"
"Why didn't I expect it for a moment!"
"Since you can borrow money from your uncle, it is definitely feasible to borrow money from others."
"It's just something like writing an IOU, it's really not very good-looking."
"I don't know if my father can give up his pride."
This is a bit different from Zhu Houzhao's borrowing money from his uncle.
After all, he borrowed money from his uncle, but he had never written an IOU.
With IOUs, it won’t look great.
After all, they are very likely to be liable to pay.
Zhao Ce smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"Before this part of the IOU expires, our court can issue a larger batch of new debts."
"In this way, if the old debt expires, will you have the remaining money to pay it back?"
"After calculating this, the first batch of borrowed silver is still firmly in the hands of the court."
"And the new borrowed money later, plus the annual taxes from the court, can fully pay the annual interest."
Zhu Houzhao subconsciously said, "This is a return, but it is not completely returned..."
He was shocked again.
I didn't expect that Zhao Ce could be so shameless.
Although it was him and his own father who came forward to do these things.
But Zhao Ce who proposed this, Zhu Houzhao admitted that he was also quite shameless! ωωw.Bibǒqétν.℃ǒM
Such a shameless person...
It's really suitable to be friends with him, Prince of Ming!
Moreover, if the court owes money from the people below, these people will definitely not hope that anything will happen to the Ming Dynasty court.
If something endangers the Ming Dynasty, those who hold IOUs will definitely care the most about the court.
In this regard, it can also promote the people below to be united with the court.
As the scope of debt becomes larger and larger, more and more people don’t want anything to happen to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao opened her mouth, and she wanted to pat her hands to agree.
But he still has one problem.
"But what if others see through the court's means and refuse to borrow it?"
"In this way, our old money was spent, and the new one was not borrowed."
"Will our Ming court still bear a huge infamy at that time?"
Zhao Ce touched his chin and thought, "This is indeed a problem."
"But I think since I have lent money to the court, then you should give me a choice."
"The imperial court issued national bonds, and the people below bought them, and they were decently a creditor of the Ming Dynasty."
"Or, the court helped them be creditors with decent creditors."
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Zhu Houzhao widened her eyes.
This feels right!
At that time, Zhao Ce asked him to return all the money that Taizong had scattered, plus the money that was born afterwards.
If you don't come back, you can grab it.
