In just a few words, Liu Che announced the national debt task totaling 300,000 gold.
Anyway, in China's environment, this method of relying on administrative means and forceful promotion is generally successful as long as there are no mistakes.
The emperor borrows money from you and pays you interest. How dare you not lend it?
Anyway, Liu Che now holds in his hands the asset details of Hou Xungui, one of the richest businessmen in the world.
If anyone complains about being poor despite being rich, then they are waiting to be hung up on the camp gate and fucked!
The money issue was resolved, which meant that the Han family's national power was also released.
Three hundred thousand gold, that is, seventy or eighty tons of gold, will be enough to support a local war even two thousand years later.
Now that he had money in his hands, Liu Che could no longer contain his inner frenzy.
He looked at Zhou Yafu and said: "After the Prime Minister arrived in Taiyuan, he immediately used my festival ax and tiger charms to send them to the county, Daiguo, Taiyuan and Yunzhong, Yanmen, civilians, officials and gentry!"
Zhou Yafu looked up at Liu Che with some doubts, and even couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Liu Che met his eyes and said firmly: "I want to see the Prime Minister mobilize all the people in these counties and mobilize them to their homes! Anyone who dares to hinder or shirk in the county and township pavilions, no matter who they are, will be punished.
Can be beheaded!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yafu didn't understand what his king wanted to do?
"Shang Jun's farming and warfare system..." Zhou Yafu felt his heart trembling.
Da Nong Zhi Bu Dou even made every hair on his body stand on his head.
In the past, in normal times, who would have dared to mention such an order to mobilize households.
All the literati and officials from all over the world will swarm forward and attack him crazily.
Because this kind of system where the country's orders are directly issued to specific families, and all power, all resources, and all manpower are gathered into one fist, it is exactly the 'farming war system' that Shang Yang tailored for the Qin Empire.
'.
Under this system, the Qin Empire used the imperial sword to seize land for the imperial plow. In turn, the imperial plow forced the imperial sword to seize more land and wealth.
When this system reached its peak, during the Battle of Changping, the Qin Empire could not use its population base of several million to raise an army of hundreds of thousands.
It also made the whole country, from old men in their 80s to children aged 12 or 13, serve in the war effort.
In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo lost not so much to Bai Qi, but to his pig teammates.
It would be better to say that the loose military and political system of Zhao State was completely defeated by the united Qin State.
It was also after the Battle of Changping that Qin's unification momentum could no longer be stopped.
All the six eastern kingdoms were frightened by the Qin people's ruthlessness and tenacity.
In Liu Che's eyes, Qin's system was already similar to the mobilization system of later great powers in the early stages of World War I.
Liu Che naturally dreams of recreating this system in the world!
But unfortunately, there has never been a suitable opportunity.
Moreover, the system itself is a gold-eating monster.
It is a sophisticated machine that only industrial countries can afford.
Even Qin only gritted his teeth and unleashed its full power during Changping.
After Changping, even if it was beaten by the Six Kingdoms to Hangu Pass, it was not used again.
It’s not that Qin people don’t want to use it, it’s just that this thing costs too much money!
This system, which concentrates the power of the country into one fist, will consume countless resources just to start it up.
Agricultural countries without industrialization are walking a tightrope every time they play.
If you are not careful, disaster will break out immediately!
However, this system is a fatal attraction for any king who wants to do great things, especially a time traveler like Liu Che!
Even if you know it's poisonous, you still have to taste it before you give up!
Moreover, although the Han Dynasty today is not an industrial country.
But it already has some characteristics that separate it from an agricultural country.
Apart from other things, the iron smelting base in Nanyang is injecting fresh vitality into the Han family every moment.
In the past, if you wanted to arm a soldier, the weapons and equipment alone were enough to worry about.
But now, Liu Che can even arm himself with his eyes closed, such as the powerful cuirassiers.
Even an iron-hungry expert like Mo Dao can mass-produce Shaofu with just a wave of his hand!
In addition, it is not a nationwide mobilization, but only a small part of the north.
Moreover, the local people themselves are all soldiers.
The combination of these factors allowed Liu Che to dare to issue this order!
"I will send one hundred and fifty ministers to accompany the Prime Minister during his trip..." Liu Che said to himself: "They will record all the details of this mobilization system, and serve as the Prime Minister's eyes and ears, going deep into counties and counties to communicate with local governments.
…”
Well, when they come back, they will compile the details and specific details of this mobilization into a book.
In this way, through a specific practice, Liu Che can almost figure out what needs to be paid attention to when conducting war mobilization under today's circumstances.
After a few years of accumulation, we can use this as a blueprint to introduce a "Mobilization Act" to establish a national mobilization mechanism.
In this way, the Han civilization can truly sit back and relax!
As long as the country still preserves this system, it will still have this system.
Then, all foreign barbarians and all forces that dare to become enemies of the Han Dynasty will be turned into powder!
At least it can guarantee that the Zhuxia civilization will be invincible for five hundred years.
Five hundred years later, Liu Che felt that no matter what, it was time for nuclear bombs to wipe out the land and the stars...
So, the risk is worth taking!
Zhou Yafu and others looked at each other in shock.
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this matter comes from Shang Jun’s farming and warfare system.
"Today we have finally come to this point..." Ji An sighed to one side.
Since Taizong, the Liu family has slowly moved towards the Legalist path of governing the country, and Legalist ideas have attracted more and more attention from the king.
Although Confucianism has a Gongyang sect, which competes with Legalism for the favor of the main war sect.
But history has unswervingly followed the path of Legalism.
"His Majesty once said that history is an upward spiral..." Ji An thought in his heart: "Facts have proved that this is indeed the case!"
After sixty or seventy years of hesitation, the Liu family finally tore off the last fig leaf and planned to follow the path taken by the Qin people.
Especially after the current leader came to the throne, the country's politics quickly turned towards the world that Legalism longed for.
Strengthen the army and enrich the country, and then dominate the world!
Although it is said that Liu's system is not a complete copy of the system of the previous dynasty.
Targeted improvements have been made in many aspects, and it has been given a layer of loyalty, filial piety and moral governance.
But in the final analysis, it is still the Legalist approach.
At most it can be regarded as a revisionist Qin system!
But, for some reason, when the last step came, Ji An felt a sense of relief.
He quietly raised his eyes to look at the Prime Minister and others, and found that everyone also let out a sigh of relief, as if they had let go of the heavy burden in their hearts...
Why is this?
Ji An couldn't figure it out.
It wasn't until many years later that he understood.
It turns out that the Xia people, as well as China, are longing for stability from top to bottom, and no one wants to see the ruler's position wavering, erratic and inconsistent.
For the politicians and people of this country, what they fear most is the emperor's hesitation and indecision.
For the people of the world, even the worst choice is better than the emperor's wandering around.
Because once the king makes a decision, his ministers can follow suit.
If the emperor delays making a decision, the people below will constantly guess what the emperor will do tomorrow and have to be cunning and prepare multiple investment plans to avoid risks.
And after the emperor made his plans clear, whether it was political power or ideological and academic, he immediately had a blueprint that could be copied.
But now, Ji An is still confused and confused.
All he knew was that the road in front of him seemed to be opened up.
The original cliffs have completely disappeared.
……………………
The next day, early in the morning, many people had just gotten up, and before they even had time to wash up, they were shocked by the news. Then, countless people threw away what they were holding and ran towards Lubu.
.
The whole area of Chang'an was crowded with people under the cloth.
"It's a fight, it's a fight!" Many people said, dancing.
The Han-Hungarian War broke out again after two years.
For the people of Chang'an, this is simply the sound of nature!
The Battle of Mayi two years ago created countless military families and emerging military interest groups.
I don’t know how many people watched their neighbor’s chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and they could only envy and hate them.
Now, a new war finally breaks out!
Moreover, this time, the Han family will go straight to Gaoque and regain their homeland that has been lost to their enemies for decades.
The Huns also aggressively gathered a force of more than 100,000 riders to fight the Han army to the death.
Just thinking of this scene makes the young and old men in Chang'an unable to sit still!
More than 100,000 riders!!!!
There are enough heads to share among the big guy’s brothers or family members!
Therefore, many people left under the dew cloth and immediately braved the cold wind and took their whole families to the ancestral hall to offer incense and sacrifices to their ancestors.
Countless people's ancestral halls are filled with people who come to pray to their ancestors, asking them to bless their brothers or relatives. They perform meritorious deeds on the battlefield and honor their ancestors.
Make promises one by one and make them for free.
Anyway, as long as the ancestors bless and the children of the family can return with meritorious service, then when they worship their ancestors in the autumn, they will eat three animals with blood, and their ancestors will definitely share in the sacrifice!
In this hustle and bustle, news spread that the emperor was going to issue national debt.
"Today we are planning to issue 300,000 gold worth of national bonds, and the annual interest rate is 2%?" After hearing about this, many businessmen and small and medium-sized landowners immediately went home and took away the gold and copper coins buried in their cellars.
They dug it out, then took these things and ran to the Shaofu and Yantie Yamen to rush to buy the national bonds.
In just one day, Chang'an's official office sold more than three thousand gold worth of government bonds!
At this moment, all the princes and ministers in the court looked at each other in astonishment.
Originally, they were still having a headache, how to figure out how to act rogue and waste these so-called national debts allocated by the emperor.
But now, seeing the craze among the people, these guys started muttering again.
"With so many people optimistic about it, is it profitable?" Many people are thinking and calculating in their hearts.
But no matter how much I think about it, I still can’t understand why the people are so enthusiastic?
You know, these people who sell national debt are all people in the market.
The treasury bonds they buy are usually equal to one gold for you and ten gold for me.
To be fair, they are actually losing money by buying national bonds!
Because you want to.
The annual interest rate on national debt is only 2%!
Isn’t the profit of any business nowadays more than 20%?
Even the traffickers and lackeys make 30 to 50 percent profit every day!
What are the people after?
The princes and ministers were really a little confused for a moment.
However, they had no time to think and consider.
On the next day, the big businessmen from Maolingyi drove carts of gold directly to the gate of the Shaofu Yamen.
Da Jia Shishi sent ten carts of gold, a huge amount of more than four thousand gold, into the treasury at one time, and happily took back a national debt bond written by the emperor himself and an edict of commendation.
Although the two heads of state were not in Chang'an, the people in charge of the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family in Maoling also shouted a subscription slogan of 10,000 gold for each family.
It would be understandable if the Shi family did this with the Cheng, Zheng, and Zhuo families.
After all, they are where they are today thanks to the support and support of today’s people.
However, the Bing family of Lu State bought three thousand gold coins in one fell swoop. The wealthy Guo family in Hanoi sent people to subscribe for two thousand gold coins. The Yang family and the Yuan family, both wealthy businessmen in Jiangdu, teamed up to swallow up five thousand gold coins. What the hell is this?
The nobles, ministers and officials scratched their heads and ears, and they couldn't figure out why.
However, as the wave of private subscriptions continued to rise, the nobles and nobles were pushed to the wall.
After all, the common people enthusiastically subscribed, and the ordinary knights donated their money generously.
You are a noble lord and the pillar of your country. How dare you be stingy?
Aren’t you afraid of someone pointing your back at you when you go out?
Moreover, public opinion is fierce. If you don’t subscribe, you may become a rat on the street!
There was no way, these princes had to take out their own pockets, count again and again, and finally gritted their teeth and took a hundred or several hundred gold to subscribe.
Even some iron roosters, seeing this situation, ran directly back to the feudal country, intending to imitate the ostrich and bury their heads in the sand, pretending not to see or hear.
Liu Che watched the behavior of these scumbags with cold eyes.
Write down their names one by one in a small notebook.
In the end, the names of twenty or thirty princes were densely written across several pages.
"When this battle is over, I will settle the accounts with you again!" Liu Che closed the small notebook and sneered.
These guys are typical people who do not eat the toast but only drink as a penalty.
Since they have chosen this path, no wonder Liu Che is so unkind.
Moreover, with such an incident, even if Liu Che cuts off their titles, no one in the world can say anything.
After all, the emperor borrowed money from his ministers, but the ministers dared not to borrow it?
This is typical disrespect!
Even if we don't ask for their heads, they already belong to the emperor's grace.
On the other hand, the wave of private subscriptions made Liu Che a little stunned and even a little unbelievable.
After all, in the Emperor Wu's dynasty, he still had a fresh memory of the embarrassing situation when Emperor Wu, as the emperor, asked to borrow money from the wealthy merchants and nobles of the world, except for a divination gesture, and no one responded.
But now, what are these people and businessmen so crazy about?
Liu Che immediately ordered Xiu Yiwei to investigate.
In the end, the results of the investigation made him a little moved, but also a little dumbfounded.
The subscription tide among ordinary people in the market was quite simple.
Because Liu Che had a good reputation and had high credibility among the people.
His previous principle of preferring to suffer losses rather than go back on his word has won him a large number of fans.
More importantly, the image Liu Che has always maintained makes the people believe that the Holy Emperor will never cheat them!
Moreover, many people in Chang'an City have benefited from many of Liu Che's policies.
This made them take out their pockets without saying a word as soon as they heard that the emperor was short of money to fight the Huns.
Especially the rangers are the most willing.
When you pay, you don't even blink.
There was even a hero who, after subscribing for a hundred gold treasury bonds, walked out of the government office and burned the bonds on the spot, saying: "The emperor's attack is unjust. Even if we lose our fortune, we should support it!"
This person's behavior immediately attracted countless attention and admiration.
By the way, his name also reached the ears of Zhou Zuochang, the commander of the Xiuyi Guards.
Now it has reached Liu Che's ears.
Naturally, the future is limitless.
But after investigating the actions of those wealthy businessmen, Liu Che was left dumbfounded.
It turns out that the idea of these scumbags is to learn from Shi's good example.
They all linked this subscription behavior to the future operating rights of the horse-drawn carriage track.
Many people even think that if we don’t subscribe, we will miss the carriage track in the future!
After Liu Che found out about this, he felt inexplicably happy!
"I can't give you the carriage tracks..." Liu Che looked at the names of these guys and laughed: "But the whaling fleet or the slave trade can allow you to interfere!"
For these people who paid huge sums of money at this time, Liu Che would naturally not forget their contribution.
In the future, if there is any way to make a fortune, I must help them.
After all, a junior who is willing to give money to the boss will always get some special policies and preferential treatment.
Moreover, Liu Che also needs an interest group that is loyal to him. (To be continued.)
