Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Jingyu didn't panic and waited for everyone to discuss the outcome before expressing his position.
Businessmen are always shrewd, and they can do this kind of thing easily. It just depends on how to get the relics.
After two minutes passed, one of them stood up and said: "Sir, what is the purpose of opening the third company? Will it really generate profits in the future?"
Jingyu put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Of course it can produce huge benefits. The three departments are the 'Science Department', 'Gunpowder Department' and 'Stone Mines Department'"
"..."
Jing Yu looked at everyone's confused expressions, and then said: "You can go check and inquire about these three divisions after they are opened. I don't want to explain too much."
"However, the investment share given by the imperial court is very limited. The three divisions are all established by the imperial court. If you become a partial owner of the three divisions, you will have nothing to do with the imperial court..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized something.
It seems that it is no longer important whether these three companies can make profits in the future. If they can have a relationship with the imperial court, will they wake up from their dreams?
With a 'wow' sound, dozens of people stood up at the same time, and all of them raised their hands and said in salute: "My Wang family is willing to obey the master's arrangement and join the Third Division!"
"My Gao family is willing to invest in Sansi!"
"My Bai family is willing to invest in Sansi!"
.......
Everyone was afraid that this rare opportunity, which had never happened since ancient times, would be snatched away by others, so they pushed me hard to get Ying Jingyu's approval.
Ying Jingyu was so happy that he could only stretch out his right palm and raise it to the sky. He waited for the crowd to quiet down before slowly putting it down.
Jing Yu said: "Don't let this hurt your friendship. Although the imperial court has set up three divisions to provide a limited share of investment, each division also has twenty places. In the future, the imperial court will need to establish more divisions, and everyone will have a chance.
Investment…”
After everyone listened, they believed what Gong Ziyu said more and more.
Maybe... the money invested is really not in vain. If it can bring a steady stream of benefits, wouldn't it be possible to just lie in bed and do nothing and still make money?
After thinking about it, the investment in Sansi planted a seed in everyone's mind. In the future, they must follow the pace of the court in order to invest in new projects opened by the court.
One of them stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Young Master has not finished what you just said. Is there anything else besides this?"
Ying Jingyu nodded: "Yes, the investment department is only one of them. Secondly, my father and I have discussed and, with my father's consent, we are going to issue 'Qin Debt' in Guanzhong, and the imperial court has specially made a 'Qin Debt' book."
Everyone is confused and confused about this new term
One person stood up and said, "Sir, what is 'Qin Debt'?"
Jing Yu cleared his throat and said: "'Qin Debt' is a debt document issued by the imperial court in order to raise money and materials for important matters such as governing the country, and to replenish the national treasury. This document is the official seal of the imperial court, and no one can fake it."
"To put it simply, the imperial court borrowed money from the people, merchants or common people spent money to buy this 'Qin Debt' book, and the imperial court used the borrowed money to invest in war or business, etc., and returned it after a certain period of use
.”
"For example, a person takes a hundred gold to buy a 'Qin Debt' book worth a hundred gold from the court, and the term is one or two years. Then after one year, the person takes the 'Qin Debt' book and returns it to the court, and the court returns the person 105 gold, two years later.
Then return 110 gold to this person. This is a debt letter from Qin. Of course, the money cannot be borrowed in vain, and the court will pay interest for the corresponding period."
After hearing this, everyone took a few breaths and lent the money to the court. After a period of time, not only would the principal be returned, but some additional benefits would also be obtained?
Is there such a good thing in the world? You must know that the imperial court values trust. If you buy this so-called "Qin Debt" book, isn't it a sure-fire business?
Everyone was in a whirlwind of discussions again, and everyone started discussing with excitement.
This time it took longer than the discussion by the three investment companies just now, because this wonderful idea does have its feasibility.
After all, the imperial court made this policy public, and it affected all people.
If the imperial court refuses to repay it by then, it will break its trust in the world, and it cannot be repaired with any amount of money.
This 'Qin Debt' book seems to have no problem no matter how you read it or budget it.
But a few people still saw the problem. After understanding that Gong Ziyu was a relatively easy-going person, a middle-aged man in green robe stood up without any scruples and said:
"I would like to ask you, Sir, this strategy is indeed wonderful, but when the imperial court wants to repay merchants and people in the future, everyone will have to pay interest, which will be an unimaginable expense. Will the national treasury be able to sustain this approach for a long time?
"
Jing Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seems that the same problem still needs to be explained continuously, otherwise everyone will have doubts and fear that the policy will not be implemented.
Jing Yu said: "It is reasonable to worry, but the imperial court does not need to borrow money from the people every year. The 'Qin Debt' book will be issued only when the national treasury is in short supply. Not everyone can buy it."
"And there is no need to worry about the interest issue. The purpose of the imperial court setting up three divisions and reemploying businessmen is to increase the national wealth. With the wealth increased and the national treasury being filled ten times, why would it care about the interest?"
"Do you understand?"
Everyone suddenly understood the meaning, this Young Master Yu was going to play a big game... Thinking of this, everyone secretly raised their thumbs to such a talented and strategic Young Master Yu.
It is rare to meet such a wise and heroic leader, who even lowers his profile to sit down and talk with businessmen.
His talents, abilities, and power are like gods, and his thoughts are as vast.
If we don't take the opportunity to hug such a thigh, I'm afraid my brain won't work, and the family will soon decline...
Everyone raised their hands and said, "I understand, you are a great talent!"
Now is the perfect opportunity to side with the imperial court. In a short time, all the wealthy businessmen and nobles raised their hands to express their willingness to buy the "Qin Debt" book.
This group of businessmen were all very clear-minded. They thought that being summoned by the court would cause a lot of bleeding, so they were mentally prepared before coming.
Who would have thought that the imperial court now has such a "Qin debt", which is equivalent to the imperial court borrowing money from the rich in disguise.
But if the imperial court can really get through this difficulty, it will not only get the principal lent to the imperial court in the future, but also get part of the benefits...
Everyone secretly sighed that such a wonderful method was actually done by the Great Qin Taiwei Ying Jingyu. For a while, the Great Qin Young Master once again rose to prominence in everyone's hearts...
Using this strategy, in the long run, the imperial court can not only support more Qin troops and equip them with more sophisticated weapons, but the result will naturally greatly increase the possibility of preventing Chu Xiang from breaking through.
Moreover, although the merchants contributed money, they did not suffer any losses. As long as the court is still there, there is no need to worry about the money invested being wasted.
Now we must hold the imperial court firmly, as it is Gong Ziyu's thigh.
Only by being bound together with them, with both glory and destruction, can we win in one battle without breaking the bank!
Ying Jingyu saw that he was almost done, and said seriously: "Everyone, you must believe in the current court. You must also believe in the current king and lieutenant!"
"If you all can unite with the imperial court and overcome the difficulties together, I, Ying Jingyu, will definitely defend Guanzhong. No matter how Xiang Yu has an army of millions, he will never even think of setting foot in Guanzhong!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Also, starting from tomorrow, the imperial court will set up an office in the Prime Minister's Mansion to process the 'Qin Debt' documents and the newly established Three Divisions. You can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invest in the Three Divisions or purchase 'Qin Debt', both of which have the imperial seal.
Certificate. The number of places is limited, I hope you don’t miss it.”
After hearing this, everyone felt impatient and wished they could spend their money to buy "Qin Debt" right now.
You don't have to donate money, you can still build relationships with the court, and you can get more benefits in the future. Where can you find such good things?
All the wealthy merchants bowed down and said, "Yes, Master. We will definitely come to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to purchase Qin's debt book!"
Ying Jingyu nodded. A businessman is indeed a businessman. He knows everything at once. In the past, the courts of various countries only positioned businessmen from the negative point of profit-seeking, which would inevitably lead to bias.
As long as they are utilized properly, these people will be the pioneers in making Da Qin rich in the future.
Jingyu said with a smile on his face: "I had a great time chatting with you all. It's already past noon, and I have ordered people to prepare food and wine. If you don't mind the food from the prime minister's house, I will keep all of it today with you."
How about having a drunken meal with us? Haha"
The hundreds of wealthy businessmen sitting on the bluestone floor looked shocked. They never expected that the Great Qin Taiwei would stay with everyone to have a meal and drink together.
What is the identity of the other party? He is the most powerful person in Da Qin... And what is a businessman? No matter how rich he is, he does not have a high status and is looked down upon by all classes.
Prince Yu of Great Qin is very likely to be the next King of Qin. Drinking with him... What signal does this send out?
Everyone was not stupid, Gong Ziyu lowered his profile and stayed with everyone to eat together. Everyone was flattered, and no one dared to respond for a moment.
Ying Jingyu waited for a while but no one responded. He suddenly understood everyone's thoughts and laughed loudly and said: "Then you all can have lunch with me. The food will be ready soon. If you all leave, wouldn't it be a waste?"
"
Everyone did not dare to hesitate any longer, they all knelt down and worshiped:
