In fact, not to mention the Emperor Zhou hundreds of years ago, when the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty decided to embark on the Northern Expedition, Feng Yong also proposed borrowing money.
It was just that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty rejected it at that time.
At that time, the Shu family was not as well-behaved as it is now. If you want them to contribute money to support the Northern Expedition, just dream!
Who dares to believe that the Han Dynasty can defeat Wei?
Of course, the burly Prime Minister at that time shouted no, but his body was still very honest.
In the end, we did a pre-sale of workshop quotas and made a lot of money.
They even used Nanxiang's high-quality assets as collateral.
With the prime minister's treasure in front of him, Governor Feng believed that he could do something about it.
After all, issuance of bonds also depends on timing.
First, there must be credibility, secondly, there must be interests, and finally, the target group must have money.
As for the speed of news release and dissemination...
In this era, big cities are the largest gathering places of wealth.
It is impossible to create a national bond because communication and transportation are not allowed.
But in major cities, it is still barely possible to engage in local government bonds.
Calculating the time it would take for the Hu people from Xihai County to go south to Liangzhou, it would probably be less than a month, so time was very tight.
But Governor Feng didn't want to make too much money.
His target group is those wealthy families concentrated in the four core counties and cities of Liangzhou.
Especially the two cities of Jiuquan County, which governs Lufu County, and Zhangye County, which governs Zhide County.
Because Xihai County is directly north of Jiuquan County.
There is a river originating from the Qilian Mountains, passing through Lufu County, the county seat of Jiuquan County, and then converging with Weishui in the north.
And the weak water happens to flow through Zhide County, which is governed by Zhangye County.
The intersection of these two rivers is just south of where the weak water enters the quicksand.
In other words, these two counties can directly use water transportation to transport grain, and they can also directly reach the destination where troops are required to be stationed, or even follow the river.
As for the means of transportation, naturally they are sheepskin rafts or cowhide rafts, which are unique to Liangzhou and are simple and convenient.
Therefore, the key targets of this money trap are none other than the gangsters in these two counties.
Without further ado, the governor's office issued the official document as quickly as possible.
At the same time, contact Shijia Haoyou who has the ability to do this big deal.
Not to mention ordinary officials, even wealthy landowners with hundreds or even thousands of acres in their homes were not qualified to participate in this matter.
Only those big guys who buy tens of thousands of acres will be invited.
Otherwise, if you buy a thousand acres, how many sheep can you raise?
You are not afraid of embarrassment, but Governor Feng still finds it ugly.
Of course, it can also be a combination of several companies, like Longyou.
The difference lies in who owns the pasture.
One good thing about Liangzhou is that there are many horses.
Not to mention the government, even some wealthy families have special fast horses to deliver news.
Moreover, the four counties of Liangzhou are like a gourd. Official documents start from Guzang and rush westward along the official road.
No need to turn around, you can directly notify the three counties in the west all the way.
So the message delivery is quite fast.
What Feng Yong didn't expect was that as soon as the news came out, the Guzang wealthy family who was the first to learn about it had already exploded first!
No one knows what kind of place Juyanze is than these natives.
Zhang Qian left Yangguan and entered Juyan to communicate with the northern grasslands;
Sang Hongyang personally formulated the policy of colonizing Juyan;
Dou Rong took Juyan and ruled the five counties of Liangzhou...
It is no exaggeration to say that there are countless fertile fields in Juyanze.
More importantly, from Juyan you can directly enter the desert and trade with the Hu people.
Now Governor Feng is preparing to regain Xihai County, and at the same time, he also wants to open the grassland in Liangzhou?
Then wool...
Well, actually the pasture is not important, everyone just wants to revive the Han Dynasty.
After all, it has been the territory of the Han Dynasty since ancient times, right?
"Feng Shijun, why do you treat Zhangye Jiuquan so favorably but belittle Wuwei Dunhuang?! The Zhang family of Dunhuang has always followed the will of the ruler!"
After Zhang Hua (Zhang Gong's brother) received the news, he immediately came to see Feng Yong. Because he was too eager, his words were a little rude.
Governor Feng, who was teaching them to call daddy, was stunned when he heard this:
"Why did Zhang Canjun say this?"
In order to express his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Zhang Gong asked his son to go to the Western Regions.
Naturally, Feng Yong did not lose his temper, so he asked Zhang Hua to join the army as a clerk in the governor's office.
After all, Zhang Hua still has some abilities.
"Why were the first batch of pasture shares in Xihai County only sold in Zhide (Zhangye County) and Lufu (Jiuquan County)?"
"Of course it's because these two counties are close to Xihai County!"
Governor Feng replied matter-of-factly.
I will tell you that I urgently need a batch of money and food now?
By the time you transport grain from Dunhuang to where the weak water flows into the quicksand, the day lilies will be cold!
Of course, it is more convenient to collect money and food on the spot.
The so-called share of the first batch of pastures was of course because I was afraid that it would not be sold, so I made an excuse.
Otherwise, if we say ten thousand acres, then only ten thousand acres will be sold, wouldn’t it be a personal loss?
So we first took out 100,000 acres to test the water.
In fact, it's like treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and deal with emergencies first.
"Your Majesty, the officials in Liangzhou and other counties also have the desire to serve the country. Just like my Zhang family, I can also do my best."
Zhang Hua said eagerly, "If there is an opportunity to serve the country, but I miss it, my brother will probably beat me up again."
Zhang Canjun, I’ve seen this look on your face too many times...
Governor Feng rolled his eyes twice, coughed, his expression remained unchanged, and said comfortingly:
"Zhang Canjun doesn't need to be like this. Didn't he say that this is only the first batch. Specific regulations can only be formulated after trials in Zhide and Lufu."
"If everyone is determined to serve the country, I will arrange a second batch."
Having said this, Governor Feng felt a little regretful:
I feel that the price of this pasture seems to be too low. These big dog owners are really rich!
"So it turns out that this official is being reckless."
After hearing this, Zhang Hua felt relieved and apologized quickly.
His previous appearance was half real and half fake.
He deliberately acted anxious, but he actually wanted to test Feng Yong.
At this time, I learned that the first batch of places was just a trial, and I was naturally happy.
"It doesn't matter, Zhang Canjun is also dedicated to serving the country..."
When Feng Junhou said this, he felt sick for a moment, and then continued:
"I saw that Zhang Shenjun was just talking. It seems that everyone is willing to pay for food and land?"
Zhang Hua nodded and did not hide anything:
"The official came here this time because he was entrusted by the sergeants of Guzang City. He wanted to ask the prince what the regulations are behind..."
City sergeant?
Which officials?
Feng Yong smiled slightly:
"Everyone is overthinking it. Last winter, everyone worked together to help the governor tide over the difficulties. Am I such an ungrateful person?"
"The first batch was sold in Zhide and Lufu because they are the closest to Xihai County and are convenient for transporting grain."
"Feng Shenjun might as well go back and tell everyone that after the first batch of places is sold out, there will be a second batch soon. Everyone can prepare money and food first."
Zhang Hua quickly clasped his fists and saluted:
"Your Majesty understands. I will go down immediately and inform everyone."
"Go ahead."
"I am resigning."
After Zhang Hua disappeared, Governor Feng could no longer hide the excitement on his face. He punched his fist fiercely and laughed:
"Developed!"
"Developed!"
Both of them imitated their elders, waving their chubby hands and shouting in a sweet voice.
"Ha ha……"
Feng Yong lifted her high.
My daughter immediately screamed with joy.
Putting down both his hands and asking Amei to be called over to take care of the children, Governor Feng hurried to the secretariat.
But as soon as he arrived at the door of the secretary's duty room, he heard Zhang Xingyi's slightly irritable voice coming from inside:
"See you, see you! If there is anything good to see, the announcement has been sent out. Are they illiterate? Do they need to come here to inquire about the news?"
Entering the room, I saw a little female secretary who was a little helpless, lowering her head and being scolded.
Well, with this look, she should be the female student selected from the school last year.
Seeing Feng Yong come in, Secretary Zhang waved his hand and asked the younger secretary to step back.
The little secretary breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed to Feng Yong, and then ran away with the train of his skirt.
"What's the matter?"
Feng Yong sat opposite Secretary Zhang and asked.
"You're so stupid! You come here to report such a small thing, and you think I'm not busy enough all day long..."
Secretary Zhang complained about the people below, and then looked at Feng Yong, "Come here at this time, but what's the matter?"
Feng Yong nodded, leaned back on the chair, and said with a relaxed expression:
“You don’t have to worry about money and food this year.”
Zhang Xingyi's face did not change, as if he had expected it, and nodded:
"The land in Xihai County was sold at a good price."
"Huh? You know?"
Feng Yong immediately sat up straight and asked with some surprise.
"Isn't that right?"
Zhang Xingyi raised his head proudly and cooed at the door:
"Including the one just now, at least three or four groups of people want to get information from me today."
"Why are you so impatient about collecting money and food?"
"Hey!" Zhang Xingyi rolled his eyes at Feng Yong, "How do you collect it? Don't store it in the warehouse? How do you distribute it..."
"Why don't you be busy with these things? When it comes time to start, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted to death!"
"While we still have some free time, we are just about to finalize the regulations. Do you think everyone is like you and doesn't care about anything all day long?"
Governor Feng glanced at the door, guessing that there were a group of secretaries outside waiting to report, so he had no choice but to make out with the senior secretary now.
He stood up and said, "I know you are busy, so I will cook the food myself today as a reward."
Zhang Xingyi's eyes curled up: "That's pretty much it."
"Also, we can prepare the food and grass now. I plan to send troops to Jiuquan immediately."
Zhang Xingyi hesitated: "The treasury must have some reserves..."
"I'll teach you to be good and send an official document in the name of the governor's office. Anyone who wants to buy the second batch of places can pay a deposit now."
Zhang Xingyi's eyes suddenly widened: "Deposit?"
"Yes, the quota is so tight, so naturally it's first come, first served. After paying the deposit, the second batch will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis."
“Is the quota tight?”
"When I say I'm nervous, I'm nervous. Isn't it enough to sell less and name less? If I'm not nervous, how can I force them to pay?"
There will still be support for selling houses in future generations!
For newly opened properties, only one unit is left in half a day.
I went back half a month later and there was still only one set left.
A month later, when I looked downstairs at night, less than half of the windows were lit.
Then the salesperson called: Brother, there is a customer in front of you who doesn’t want to buy it. The house is very good, even better than what you saw before. I specially left it for you...
Get the fuck out of here!
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to tell them that if you don't want to buy it later, the deposit will not be refunded."
Anyway, now Governor Feng finally knows how good it will be to sell land in future generations.
This is how I set the rules, love or not!
Looking at the shameless face of the man opposite him, Zhang Xingyi suddenly felt like how blind he must have been before to fall in love with him so much.
It's just that as a big secretary who can't wait to break every dollar into two parts, she thinks that she won't have to live such a tight life in the near future.
There was disdain on his face, but he was already happy in his heart.
"Okay, I know what to do."
After eating so much saliva from King Feng Gui, coupled with his political talent, this kind of thing is easy to do.
Governor Feng smiled, winked at the secretary, and then went out humming a song.
The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
After solving the problem of food and grass, the next step is to solve the problem of which troops to move.
Amei took Shuangshuang and Ah Chong outside, and Governor Feng said hello and walked into the inner room.
General Guan Da was half lying on the couch, resting his mind.
Governor Feng sat beside the couch and rubbed General Guan's legs.
"I heard that Zhang Canjun came to talk to Xihai County High School, and then Alang went to find Siniang. Could it be that something has changed?"
General Guan opened his eyes and asked warmly.
The words may seem ordinary, but they contain sharpness.
It shows that even if General Guan doesn't show up, he still controls everything about the governor.
Governor Feng coughed:
"Yes, I came here just to tell Mr. Xi a piece of good news. The land in Xihai County is very popular."
"It is estimated that after conquering the Western Sea, we will still have enough money to repair the fortresses of the former Han Dynasty (i.e. the Great Wall, called fortresses in the Han Dynasty)."
Guan Ji's eyes lit up and she smiled: "This is really good news. Did Zhang Hua tell Alang?"
"That's right. Judging from Zhang Hua's attitude, the wealthy people from Guzang and Dunhuang are worried because they are not among the first batch."
When Feng Yong said this, he finally revealed his true thoughts, "I have not considered this matter. This Xihai County is really a treasure."
"If we can really re-grow it, the fertile farmland alone, not to mention the pasture, will be worth far more than this price."
In the process of running back and forth, Feng Yong also figured out something:
Because of the emergence of woolen materials, tea, brown sugar, spirits, etc., the mere fact that they could directly enter the grassland trade was enough to drive the Liangzhou family crazy.
With the share of the workshop and Ju Yanze, they can also produce their own wool.
If the cost is further reduced, who wouldn’t be crazy to replace it?
The best quality farmland in Han Dynasty can cost ten thousand yuan per acre.
Of course, this is the price in the core areas of the Central Plains.
The best farmland in the frontier costs about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.
The farmland in Juyanze was naturally the best in the frontier, so Feng Yongcai regretted selling it cheaply.
Guan Ji smiled and shook her head:
"Selling land is selling land, but where to sell it and what to use it for, they don't have to say it, only we say it. There is no fertile land, only pasture."
When Governor Feng heard this, he laughed out loud.
Sure enough, the couple is connected to each other!
"Who do you think is better to send to lead the army this time?"
For such a small matter, Governor Feng does not need to take action personally.
