Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth I have face
The basic matters of the loan were settled in this way, and all the "three parties" were happy and achieved their respective goals.
Next, Yu Changjian and North Korea found a quiet place to discuss the specific details of the contract, such as collateral, repayment period, overdue interest, the latest credit period, etc.
Zhong Jinwei and Lu Xiangsheng were the only ones left in the lobby. Of course, Zhong Jinwei's guards were also there, so I won't go into detail about that.
Lu Xiangsheng turned to Zhong Jinwei and said with a smile: "Xiaoguan thought it was difficult to complete the emperor's entrustment, but he was solved by the Marquis without thinking. I really admire him."
Zhong Jinwei just smiled but said nothing.
Lu Xiangsheng was still saying there: "By showing his tricks like this, the Marquis saved a month's military pay for the Ming Army in Denglai, and also obtained such a large loan for the Weimin Bank. Whether it was me in Denglai or the capital,
All yamen must be grateful to Lord Marquis!"
Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei shook his head and said: "These benefits are secondary. This is not my real intention."
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned now. Is there any greater benefit? Why didn't he find it?
"I am an ignorant official. I wonder what the Lord Hou is referring to...?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't think of what Zhong Jinwei was referring to, so he had to ask.
Zhong Jinwei did not disdain Lu Xiangsheng, and explained to him: "My intention is to promote the circulation of the Ming Dynasty's Jiusi Bao banknotes and speed up the process of the Ming Dynasty's currency circulation into North Korea. Now the Ming Dynasty Jiusi Bao banknotes have credibility and are the same as the real ones."
Compared with currency, it has too many advantages, and it will definitely account for the majority of the currency used in North Korea in the future. In the end, all transactions will be settled with Ming Jiusi Bao banknotes."
Lu Xiangsheng had not heard the principles of currency war that Zhong Jinwei had explained before, so although Zhong Jinwei explained it, he was still a little confused and did not know what the benefits of this were.
He was a little embarrassed, but he still asked again: "Xiaguan is really stupid, why don't you ask Lord Marquis to tell me what the benefits of this are?"
Zhong Jinwei's bodyguards, not only his own entourage, but also the Fourth Primary School, or the Dongchang squadron, were all listening curiously. Li Dingguo, in particular, was even more curious, not knowing what greater benefits there would be.
.
Therefore, Zhong Jinwei explained the principles of currency war again, and finally concluded: "In this way, North Korea will be controlled by the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to rebel again in the future and is ungrateful, the Ming Dynasty will be able to overthrow North Korea without sending troops.
.”
This kind of alternative war made these people of the Ming Dynasty find it unbelievable. But after listening carefully, it seemed that what the Marquis said made sense, which made them sigh.
Zhong Jinwei became interested and continued to show off: "Now is the best time to send the Ming Dynasty Jiu Si Baobao into North Korea, so I seized this opportunity and implemented this plan."
"The best time?" Everyone was confused again, but this time it was Gu Baichuan who asked.
"Yes, it's the best time. You see, the Jianlu captured North Korea so much that it greatly damaged North Korea's productivity. At the same time, North Korea's gold, silver and jewelry were also looted by the Jianlu. When North Korea was rebuilt, its own currency
It is definitely not enough. Bartering is too primitive and naturally inconvenient. The reputable Ming Dynasty Jiusi Baobao entered North Korea at this time, just replacing the position of North Korean currency, so I said that this is the time for the entry of Jiusi Baobao.
North Korea’s best time.”
After Zhong Jinwei finished explaining, Gu Baichuan praised sincerely: "Master Hou is so awesome!"
Lu Xiangsheng really gained experience this time. Another mode of war suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which benefited him a lot. Because he is a thoughtful person and is good at thinking. This can be seen from his ability to pass the Jinshi examination.
come out.
I just heard Zhong Jinwei saying with a smile: "What I said is based on the premise, that is, the North Korean Jianlu must be annihilated or driven away. In the final analysis, our army's combat effectiveness must be strong and it can defeat the Jianlu. This is
Fundamentally. Only when you are strong in strength can you have room to display your strategies, do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone in the lobby answered Zhong Jinwei neatly and loudly.
Besides, the loan contract between the Ming Dynasty Bank and North Korea was settled on the same day, and Yu Changjian immediately returned to the capital.
He has four tasks. The first is to inform Weimin Bank of the contract and stamp it with the seal of Weimin Bank, making it a true three-party contract.
Needless to say, when Weimin Bank learned that such a big pie suddenly fell from the sky, they were very surprised, and at the same time they were very grateful to Zhongxing Hou.
The second is to send a memorial from Zhong Jinwei to Emperor Chongzhen, explaining the ins and outs of this incident. And explaining that the money will not use Weimin Bank's own funds, but will be money obtained from its loan to Daming Royal Bank.
Lend it to the Koreans.
As for the money from the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty, because it was distributed to North Koreans, it would not affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty currency, so there was no need for silver reserves. It was equivalent to directly printing money and using it. There were also examples of currency wars, which made Emperor Chongzhen very angry.
He was so happy that he repeatedly praised Zhong Jinwei for completing this task well.
The third is to bring Hong Yihan, the commander of North Korea's Si Xianfu, back to the capital, and write a letter of credence to Emperor Chongzhen on behalf of North Korea's King Li Bo. The letter of credence states that the Ming Dynasty is willing to guarantee North Korea, so that North Korea can have money to do so.
There are many things. Of course, the words in the credential are very humble, and the purpose is to ensure that the Ming court recognizes what Zhongxinghou and Governor Denglai said. This credential made Emperor Chongzhen very happy, and now he lost all face.
Yes.
The fourth was to report Zhong Jinwei's war plan to Emperor Chongzhen, preparing to severely attack the Jianlu-dominated people in North Korea.
In addition, Yu Changjian also has a letter from Zhong Jin and the Wei family, so I won't bring it to the table.
Besides, after King Li Bo of Korea completed the signing of the contract, he came to Zhong Jinwei again to talk about sending troops.
This time Zhong Jinwei was very happy and asked Lu Xiangsheng to lead Li Bo to Pi Island to implement the first and second steps of the previous plan. That is to form the Korean army and announce to the entire North Korea that Li Bo was canonized as the new king of North Korea.
, and asked North Korean soldiers and civilians to rise up against Jianlu.
The specific combat measures were arranged by Lu Xiangsheng, with Li Bo cooperating.
At the same time, the new army on Zhangzi Island also began to reduce training, save gunpowder, and prepare for a big war.
Just a few days later, an unexpected news affected the plan again. It can be said that the plan did not change quickly.
Towards evening that day, Zhong Jinwei was in the back garden listening to the four children expressing their views on the war and examining their understanding of the war.
At this time, it was suddenly reported that General Cao Cao had returned, so Zhong Jinwei stopped the inspection and quickly let Cao Bianjiao in.
After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and Cao Bianjiao soon appeared in front of Zhong Jinwei.
"Master Marquis, I have caught a big traitor this time." As soon as Cao Bianjiao saw Zhong entering the guard, he raised his right palms to his temples, performed a new military salute, and reported loudly with a joyful face.
