Chapter 979: The world returns to the heart
Zhang Dutou’s question is very reasonable.
It is precisely because of this that in Jibei, Yang Biao looked at a decree helplessly and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The war is about to begin.
But if war is to begin, the Warriors here will definitely not be mobilized, so... the new army must be allowed to fight.
Not only that, the greatest intention of this decree is to raise money.
Treasury bonds!
The money house released the treasury bonds and borrowed money from merchants, and needed to raise 50 million taels of silver. This was an astronomical amount, but fortunately, the interest rate was pretty good.
But the question is, are merchants willing to borrow money?
Although the news of the war had already come, Jibei was in a state of excitement, firecrackers were set off everywhere, making it very lively.
Not to mention the Dachen merchants here, even the Yan, Yue and Chu people who live here temporarily are also very happy.
For them, although there was a difference between Chen and Yan, they were all Han people. The Hu people repeatedly invaded the south, burned, killed and robbed, and the Yan people suffered the most. But I never expected that this time, Da Chen was willing to go to war against the Hu people at all costs, which inevitably made many Yan people very dissatisfied with the unexpected calmness of Yan State.
At the same time, many Yan people began to praise His Majesty the Great Chen Emperor. Although there was no such painful memory of Yan people, they could not help but be happy and encouraged.
All newspapers and magazines in Jibei are now telling this matter, and without exception, they are applauding.
But Yang Biao could not share this joy, he had to raise money.
Therefore, we must come forward in person and use our shamelessness to take action.
However, it may not be completely ineffective. Yang Biao is still very confident. On the one hand, the merchants are already sharing the honor and disgrace with His Majesty. Everyone understands that in this era of discrimination against merchants everywhere, only His Majesty treats them equally. Once His Majesty encounters any accident in the war, even if they accumulate thousands of wealth, they are afraid that they will have the life to make a profit and have no life to enjoy it.
In addition, Yang Biao also held a trump card. The war started this time, so many military supplies were needed, and a large amount of materials and military supplies were purchased. However, the right to decide on the procurement was still in the hands of the court. The huge orders of the court, and even future orders, would be limited to whoever they spent, and could put pressure on them.
The fundamental problem lies in the money house.
Over the years, Jibei Money House has accumulated enough credibility. Almost everyone is using Jibei’s money tickets. Now it has been promoted. Many merchants have even begun to ignore silver because there are real or fake silver after all, and it is not convenient to carry, and it is even more cumbersome to trade. As for the quality, there are also differences.
It’s still real money. Anyway, you can buy what you want by yourself when you get it on the market. So, what’s the difference between getting money and getting money tickets?
Jibei Money House, the current credibility of the current guarantee is enough for merchants to believe. After all, they have a large amount of money tickets in their hands. If the money house doesn’t believe it, doesn’t this mean that all the money tickets in their hands have become waste paper?
"It's really a headache." Yang Biao smiled, and he looked at King Zhao Chen Zhijing.
Chen Zhijing stayed in Jibei and was responsible for bringing batches of nobles and clans to Jibei to observe. Gradually, he gradually fell in love with the noise of Jibei. He had already seen the principle of Jibei's operation. At this time, His Highness Zhao had transformed himself into a supporter of the new policy. Not only that, the Zhao Mansion also invested a lot of money in Jibei, including more than a dozen shops, three workshops, and even a bookstore.
He often came to Yang Biao for advice. Today, he came to prepare for the new batch of nobles and royal families and the children of officials who were transferred to Jibei.
He looked at Yang Biao and seemed puzzled. Yang Biao handed over the decree to him. Chen Zhijing lowered his head and looked at Yang Biao, and then he was happy: "Your Majesty's thoughts are really unpredictable. In fact, the court did not start a war without money. After all, they used to be free recruits, but now they were using money. The salary of the officers and soldiers in the past was not so high, but His Majesty's move made the whole Chen completely share the same hatred of the enemy."
Chen Zhijing was also the regent at the time. He was like Yang Biao. He had some vision. The more he was in Jibei, the more he admired Chen Kaizhi. Then he said, "Think about it, Yang Gong, spending money to recruit people, is a precedent. The people have no worries and are willing to earn money. If they are not willing, they don't have to worry about the government locking people. In this way, can they not support the attack on Hu? The treatment of the new army is so generous, I am afraid that most of them are young and strong to apply for recruitment. If they join the new army, their future is unlimited. Although they have to fight for their lives, how many things are in this world that cannot be fought even if they fight desperately? What a great opportunity for many people."
"In this way, the imperial court's treasury will be insufficient. If you want to fight, you have to borrow silver and issue this so-called national debt. Once the national debt is issued, it means that the court will owe countless merchants the money and lives of these merchants. The wealth and death of these merchants is not bound to the victory or defeat of this battle. How many people are there? How many people are looking forward to His Majesty's victory? Once the merchants are eager to win, they will definitely support them. There are also newspapers and bookshops, which one is not a merchant, and which one of them is not a merchant, and who is not a great effort to promote this war?"
"For scholars and gentry, this battle of Your Majesty is related to the destiny of the country, and it is also related to the famous religion. This is the destruction of the Diyi people. To put it bluntly, this is what they often say to expel the barbarians. Who dares to talk too much about this? Is this a righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period? Is this going to be thrust by someone? What's more, if the Hu people really want to kill him and His Majesty lose, how many good can they have?"
"All the people in the world are united and together with Your Majesty, I will use the power of the great Chen country to fight Hu Jue to the death. With this alone, Your Majesty will actually be invincible."
Chen Zhijing narrowed his eyes, thinking that he was a person who was full of calculating at the beginning, and now he was analyzing the powerful relationship. He said with great confidence: "And the real step of the game is to attack the Hu Hu, which completely put all countries in an embarrassing situation. If they send troops, they cannot bear the risk of failure. If they don't send troops, they will inevitably disappoint the people of the country. The great righteousness of the Han Dynasty will be on Your Majesty. At that time, the world will be heartbroken. As long as this battle can be won, the situation in the world will be very different. From then on, all countries will no longer be able to compete with the Chen, or even..." Chen Zhijing's eyes flashed: "Even if the world is unified and enters a prosperous era, you can be expected."
