Zhou Chaozong was silent and a little autistic. He Qingfeng's words reminded him that it is not easy for Daliang now.
The imperial court is almost out of money, and the money spent now is all from Zhu Youde's inner treasury. Once all is spent, and there are no new financial resources, Daliang will be in big trouble.
He and He Qingfeng are relatively clear.
In this situation, as long as we can get money, we really can't take care of other things.
Zhou Chaozong is very sorry!
He Qingfeng smiled and said: "Actually, you are right to consider the administration of officials. If officials lose their virtue, the people will suffer in the end. But for now, we should look at money first, and then deal with the administration of officials in the future. I am attacking in all directions now, and the expenses are huge.
Only the wealth of the nobles of the Southern Tang Dynasty can make up for it!"
Regarding Lao Zhu's plan to make money from Nan Tang, He Qingfeng felt that it was right and very correct. The nobles of Nan Tang had been accumulated for hundreds of years. If they could take the initiative to hand them over and use them on Daliang, it would definitely be a good thing.
If you cheated someone out of your skill, why should you pay it back?
Zhou Chaozong smiled bitterly. Logically speaking, he was a merchant. He had seen this kind of thing many times, but this time he was not as transparent as Qingfeng.
What's going on here?
I have seen many shameless things, so how could I be so shameless this time?
Maybe it's because he is now in a high position and is starting to lose face.
When you were doing business by yourself in the past, it wasn't like this. If you had this kind of opportunity to deceive others, you would pounce on it a long time ago?
Although he seems timid now, the emperor is still powerful and maintains a shameless attitude as before.
It is true that the emperor is not something ordinary people can be. Even the emperor is shameless. What else does he want as a minister?
Anyway, the emperor takes the lead and is shameless. If future generations want to scold him, they will scold the emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chaozong suddenly became enlightened, as if something was missing in his heart. When he looked at He Qingfeng again, he smiled slightly.
"What? Do you understand?"
"I understand. In fact, there is nothing I don't understand. But now that I am in a high position, I have begun to care about my reputation. Your Majesty doesn't care about it. Why should I, the ministers, care about it? Anyway, if I get a reputation in the future, I will be a tall man.
Carrying it!”
"That's the truth!"
He Qingfeng was very pleased. What kind of face do you want as a minister? If the emperor is shameless and you still want it, wouldn't that mean you are not consistent with the emperor?
What future can this have?
There is a reason why He Qingfeng is willing to remind Zhou Chaozong. Generally speaking, he is still very satisfied with cooperating with Zhou Chaozong.
Unlike officials from aristocratic families like Cui Li, who couldn't deal with officials from poor families like them, Zhou Chaozong understood economics, and the emperor also valued him.
Such a reminder would eliminate Zhou Chaozong's inner demons, and the other party would be grateful to me, and perhaps join their small group from a humble family.
Wherever people love without reason, they all have a purpose.
Now Daliang is engaged in a foreign war. If it wins, everyone will be happy. If it loses, everyone will be finished together.
We are all in the same boat. At this time, we should not question the emperor's character and affect unity.
"Thank you, Mr. He, for your enlightenment!"
He Qingfeng smiled slightly: "I don't know what you think of Cui Li and others."
Zhou Chaozong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what He Qingfeng meant: "They are all Daliang officials, why don't I think it's important!"
That's it?
He Qingfeng was speechless. Zhou Chaozong would not understand what he meant. He was sending an invitation to the other party, and everyone would speak ill of the officials of the famous family together in the future.
But Zhou Chaozong refused.
Not interested in!
I……
He Qingfeng was very upset, but this kind of thing happened again. Seeing Zhou Chaozong pretending to be dead, He Qingfeng was speechless.
Trash, you are not a good person.
Zhou Chaozong smiled slightly and looked at He Qingfeng with a smile.
……………………………………………………
After Lin Changxin returned to the hotel, he became more and more excited as he thought about it and looked at himself in the mirror.
I can't believe that I have really become an official in Daliang, and I am still working under Zhou Chaozong.
A high starting point and a bright future!
Admiring his majestic figure, he heard the news from his servant that Wang Yuan was here.
As soon as he came back, he sent someone to find Wang Yuan.
As soon as Wang Yuan came in, he saw Lin Changxin in Daliang official uniform. He rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it.
"Are you an official?"
"Hey, needless to say, your Majesty is so kind to you!" Lin Changxin saw Wang Yuan reaching out and slapped his hand away: "Just look at it, don't touch it."
Wang Yuan was very jealous. Emperor Liang didn't even mention giving him an official position. He didn't expect to let Lin Changxin become an official.
He is a noble!
"Tsk tsk... You are indeed at ease now. It's a pity that I still have to think about my family. It's hard to live without an official position..."
"As long as you focus on serving your Majesty, it will be a matter of time before you can rest assured."
"..."
Lin Changxin said: "I won't irritate you anymore. His Majesty has given me an errand. The government is going to establish a treasury bond exchange in Hangzhou. Do you know?"
"Where should I go?"
Wang Yuan was in a bad mood and looked at Lin Changxin angrily. He was such a bitch.
Lin Changxin smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you this? Do you know the national debt?"
"This..." Wang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded: "I have heard of it. I heard that there is an exchange in Daliang Capital, where you can make a lot of money, and some people even get rich overnight."
"That's right, it's the kind you know about. Are you interested in participating?"
"I'm so interested, what should I do?"
Lin Changxin said: "This time the exchange faces the southeast. Everyone is welcome to buy Daliang treasury bonds, especially the wealthy families in Jiangnan. Your family is not always worried that their wealth will be destroyed by war. Why not buy treasury bonds, which is equivalent to storing money in Daliang?
Wouldn't it be convenient to redeem it after Daliang unifies the world?"
"..."
"Buying national bonds now is a time to show goodwill to the emperor and show loyalty. What could be more loyal to His Majesty than buying national bonds? After all, this is real money."
Wang Yuan took a deep breath: "What if the emperor fails to honor the national debt?"
"Wouldn't that be a good thing? Tell me, if the emperor really doesn't honor it, will he compensate you somewhere else? Think about it yourself?" Lin Changxin said with a smile: "Besides, why would your Majesty not honor it? It's just a mere
It’s just money, how can we not lose the royal face?”
"But I heard that Emperor Liang didn't care much about face!"
Lin Changxin was angry: "How can you slander the holy reputation like this?"
Do you still want to seek refuge with Daliang?
If you don't contribute money or support the emperor, what's the use of just seeking refuge with him?
"Brother Wang, Daliang is strong and powerful. Your Wang family is just saying that you have taken refuge in Daliang without taking any actual actions. What do you think the emperor thinks of you?"
"Don't care about money at this time. Why does Your Majesty have the nerve to ask you for money openly? This is why we are going to issue national bonds. Do you want to buy them? If not, I will find someone else!"
