Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 259 Special Treasury Bonds

For businessmen who had not left Beijing, they came to see him soon after receiving the news.

Wang Buli stopped making up his work notes, called his secretary Jiang Huan in, and then invited Xi Ce and Chen Shizhou into the hall to talk.

After the salute, Chen Shizhou was extremely excited at first, because he was the first to mention the difficulties about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. He never expected that Wang Buli would announce the start of construction in such a short time.

At that time, he didn't take it to heart, after all, he was used to the execution ability of officials.

Just do what you say and do it right away. If it takes three months to get things done for you, you will be thankful to have met a good official.

It only took about a month to arrive at Wangbuli.

Hu Weiyong almost didn't understand this matter.

How could they, a businessman, have such an opportunity to meet the prince?

The key is that it took up one-tenth of the food at once, which is a huge appetite.

Burning coal for heating in an iron stove carries certain risks.

After Zhou Yafu won the battle, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty also made a huge promise.

After all, the Dianshi Hall is a place where wind leaks from all sides.

Those businessmen were almost begging Wang Buli to give them the opportunity to give him money!

Those who come late beat their chests and shout, "I'm late."

Take advantage of this.

We can continue to issue special national bonds for Yunnan, so that the court can get things done without spending money.

The output in Yong'an Village has also increased. He used public funds to purchase some and brought them to the county government for testing.

It will be much more convenient for the imperial court to issue such special national bonds in the future. "

At present, he is not afraid of these merchants hoarding this kind of materials. Anyway, if you sell them expensively, the taxes you will pay will be high.

"Plough!"

Otherwise, just keep eating and drinking with cold water. Sooner or later, you will freeze.

There is money and salt, and there is no need to pay taxes.

The Ming Dynasty must not be like the king of Zhou and build up a lot of debt.

Can the Prince Consort please do something good?

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he held a stack of certificates of special national debt in his hand.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take action in this matter. He asked Zhu Biao to do it. After all, if he did not like it in the future, the emperor would not have to slap himself in the face.

Each one is five hundred shares, with the seals of the current Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Prime Minister Hu Weiyong printed on it. The number is also kept, so whoever it is given to can be recorded.

"Well, we must let the brothers remember those things, otherwise someone will easily die."

Especially the State of Wu under the rule of King Wu Liu Bi was a huge and wealthy man.

This advantage must be taken advantage of.

Once local people were conscripted into military service by the central court, the local people in Wu State would also pay employment fees for these people.

The doorman did not reject it, but put the banknotes away and asked someone to register them.

The opportunity for them to enter the palace to obtain this special bond is already a great improvement for businessmen.

Wang Buli's words immediately gave up his idea.

A few would pop up on the stove lid from time to time.

Even with these 30,000 taels, Wang Buli felt that he could almost finish the first phase of the project.

This allows them to donate all their money calmly without getting angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that all the money could not be returned to them. It would be a great gift to allow them to pay less taxes.

Although we now have more money in our hands, it’s all a matter of doing nothing. "

Wang Buli briefly explained to him that buying national bonds is equivalent to the court lending you money, which can then be deducted from the taxes collected by the court.

This business tax increase is awesome!

To the east of the jurisdiction, there is a boundless sea where salt can be boiled.

“Your Majesty, it is enough to raise 100,000 shares for the first phase of our project.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial written by Wang Buli and calculated it carefully.

At this time, he was holding his beard and didn't hear Xi Ce's inquiry at all. When he saw the servant coming up to him, Chen Shizhou anxiously waved goodbye to Xi Ce. He wanted the rest of the family to buy some too.

It was only after signing that the prince-in-law revealed the news. Chen Shizhou said with a smile:

Zhu Yuanzhang was more willing to believe in Wang Buli's strategy, which was the result of a promise made with a thousand pieces of gold.

Chen Shizhou shook his head repeatedly. He didn't dare to think about it at all.

Wang Buli motioned to Jiang Huan to take out the letter of intent and sign it.

"Thank you, Prince Consort, for the tip."

Hearing this, Xi Ce laughed a little in his heart. You are really stingy when you only bought 20,000 shares for such a big deal.

I didn’t know whether it was burning wood or refined charcoal, and I didn’t even see clearly what fuel was added to it.

"Prince-in-law, this special national debt can be tax-deductible, which is a favor given by His Majesty to our businessmen.

"what?"

Wang Buli responded.

The imperial court conscripted troops and the local government provided living expenses, which was clearly intended to win over local people's hearts and minds.

After all, he was still weighing the pros and cons, so this guy started showing his loyalty.

"Yes, this special national debt is just a trial or two. Let's see if there are any mistakes or omissions in the future and make up for them."

When the longest-lived emperor of the Zhou Dynasty dies, the debt of death will be cancelled.

Wang Buli glanced at him hesitantly:

"I remember your business wasn't that big."

I really didn't expect that the prince-in-law could really stand up to the trouble and forcefully wear everyone down.

Isn't it just to ask his son and son-in-law to come forward and coax those wealthy businessmen?

Beijing debt existed in the Tang Dynasty, but with the founding of Lao Zhu, the issue of Beijing debt disappeared in the early Ming Dynasty. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Beijing debt became more and more rampant.

In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the Ming Dynasty mainly relied on land taxes, and commercial taxes were the icing on the cake and not a concern.

That made these people go crazy.

I have to say that these old men are really good at acting in crying scenes, and they can do it just as they say.

Xi Ce then walked to the gate of the county government office and stuffed a note into the door as usual:

"Brother, I just saw that the stove in the Prince Consort's house is very warm. Where did you buy it?"

After Xi Ce left the door, he asked the questions in his heart:

"Mr. Chen, the iron stove in the Prince Consort's room just now was very strange. I have never seen it before."

Chen Shizhou began to regret how petty he had just been, so he bought 20,000 shares.

The salary provided by the imperial court was simply not enough. Apart from plundering people's wealth and anointing, what other means were left?

Chen Shizhou was still thinking about the special national bonds mentioned by Wang Buli, but Xi Ce started to ask the price directly.

Chen Shizhou was hesitant. The court borrowed money from merchants. Is that borrowing money?

This kind of thing is not impossible. The debt is high. King Nan of Zhou owed a lot of debt and was unable to repay it. He was forced to hide on a high platform by his creditor.

Chen Shizhou was shocked. How could he, a businessman, do business with the emperor himself?

Nowadays, the officials in the county government are all hanging around the stove. In addition to boiling water and drinking a big bowl of tea, they also learned to roast chestnuts.

Yuzhang County within its jurisdiction has a huge copper mountain that can be used to mint coins.

"Ah."

Xi Ce nodded repeatedly: "It's not expensive, Prince Consort, how much is the minimum I need to buy? Is there any limit on how much I need to buy?"

This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang encountered the power of financial means, and he has always been amazed at Wang Buli's operations.

With just this little money, he wished he could cover everything.

At that time, some soup will have to be left for the other merchants to drink.

Many people knelt down in front of Zhu Biao to receive this honor.

Jiang Huan also thinks that this stove is really good, and it can keep the house warm in the winter.

The Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more peaceful, and businessmen like them also hope that their political treatment can be better.

If you give it to me, I will continue. If you don't give it to me, I won't dare to trouble you.

One person is serving in the army for the imperial court, so the whole family does not have to worry about life.

How can ordinary people have such opportunities?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully.

If the imperial army were defeated, wouldn't they lose all their money?

"Prince-in-law, can I still buy more?"

Especially when sleeping at night, the kettle must not be placed on the stove.

Today I finally got a chance, how could I act so petty?

Wang Buli must be suppressed as soon as he takes action, and the others must not be given a chance to react. He must come out on top.

Chen Shizhou raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never heard this word before.

Even some casinos are operating privately. How long can the prince-consort hide before he comes out to take advantage of the casino?

Only the Wu Yan family believed that the imperial army would win and generously lent the money.

Xi Ce had already thought about it before he came.

Generally speaking, this kind of stove is also extremely needed in ordinary people's homes.

Why?

They said they would pay ten times the interest, and the Wuyan family suddenly became a wealthy man in Guanzhong.

Zhu Yuanzhang closed the memorial and grinned: "Since those businessmen are in such high spirits, why don't you agree to their request and continue to issue more national debt?"

He was just a side branch of the Xi family, but he also wanted to catch up with Wang Buli and prepare for a big fight.

"The price is not high, it's always five hundred cents per share."

How could I not continue? If my family didn't need extra money to run the business, I wouldn't want to buy just 10,000 shares. "

He still had to be settled by King Wu's Qiu, and the wealthy businessmen were determined not to borrow it.

All circumstances indicate that the advantage lies with King Wu.

At that time, if we pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, maybe I won’t be the one to deliver the goods. "

Once this is done, it would not be a bad idea for him, Xi Ce, to become the talkative person of the Xi family in the future.

Most of them cannot afford to burn charcoal, so they have to store enough firewood in the winter.

Even though the weather is very cold now, everyone's hearts are extremely hot.

"Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, there is no rush to send this money to me first. I will not issue the special national debt certificate to you until I ask Your Majesty to stamp the seals of the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister on the paper.

"Prince-in-law, is the court really willing to repair the canal?"

Wang Buli spread his hands and said: "Once too many national debts are issued, the court may not be able to collect taxes in a few years, and then it will not be able to operate. Although these national debts are good, they cannot be issued frequently.

"Prince-in-law, I will also buy 20,000 shares."

One hundred thousand shares, that is, 150,000 taels of silver. Five thousand people only spend 10,000 taels in wages per month. Basically, what Wang Buli said does not require the court to spend any money.

Xi Ce nodded slightly. He felt that the price of that thing should be better in the north.

At night, I blocked a piece of it horizontally to make sure that the hole must be left open.

Xi Ce was not blindly confident, but collected a lot of information in the capital.

What Yin eats Mao Liang?

Just trying to fool me.

The additional 50,000 shares issued are completely unnecessary.

This kind of thing does not require everyone to participate.

It actually caused many people to lose money.

Wang Buli was also very satisfied. After all, he could sell 30,000 shares with nothing but white teeth. That was a good start.

Such behavior is completely a way for the court to collect money, and it is not like Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty who wanted to give them ten times the interest.
