Su Jinpa's voice echoed in the main hall of Taishan Pavilion, which was very pleasant to the ears, but when it fell in the ears of Nangong Shouzhong and others, it made them feel unhappy.
"To put it bluntly, you are all the most famous and capable people in the business community of our Great Qin Empire. The common people may not know the name of the county magistrate, but they definitely don't know who the richest man in the area is."
"And you are all well-known in your respective places. If you take the lead, I believe the imperial court's plan to promote national debt will be more effective with half the effort."
Having said this, Su Jinpa's purpose has become clear.
Jin Wannian, Cao Kun and others subconsciously looked at Nangong Shouzhong.
Nangong Shouzhong guessed correctly, Dong Gong was indeed here for the money in their pockets.
But they didn't expect that Dong Gong's appetite was so big. It wasn't enough to swallow their more than four million taels of silver, and he wanted to keep an eye on more.
This is completely beyond the limit of what they can accept.
The common people are afraid of this new thing, but they are even more afraid.
The imperial court will never bear the infamy that is reviled by all the people in the world and pay the debts of the common people, but the debts of rich people like them cannot be said for sure.
So when they learned about the national debt plan, apart from sincere admiration for the genius who proposed the concept, they stayed away from it.
The stuff is good, but I won’t buy it.
They don't care about the interest money either.
Although they may offend the imperial court for this, in their view, the consequences of offending the imperial court are far less serious than having all their property swallowed up.
Nangong Shouzhong thought so too.
Moreover, he had more solid reasons for rejection than Jin Wannian, Cao Kun and others.
Because he has never been an ordinary businessman.
Seeing the cold scene, Su Jinpa picked up the water glass and took a sip, then put it down and said calmly: "If you have any ideas, you can share them with us."
"This time I will discuss with you. We are just going to let you know in advance. Everyone can speak freely and express their thoughts."
Seeing Nangong Shouzhong lowering his head without saying a word, Cao Kun couldn't wait any longer. He stood up and said respectfully: "Ms. Qi, although the common people are very interested in this national debt, they have no choice but to have too much cash in their hands."
Not much, and it cost a lot just now..."
"Boss Cao, what you mean is that I took too much money from you?" Su Jinpa interrupted Cao Kun and asked.
Hearing this, Cao Kun couldn't say anything else. He stood stiffly on the spot, feeling as if there were cold, dagger-like eyes from all directions, as if the next moment a knife or ax might attack him and leave his head in a different place.
.
Under tremendous pressure, Cao Kun swallowed his saliva and finally felt the danger of this trip to the East Palace.
"Mom, that's not what the grassroots mean. What the grassroots want to say is that the grassroots can spend fifty thousand... no, one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy national bonds!"
When he said these words, Cao Kun's heart was bleeding.
After three swords, he spent half a million tonight.
Although it wouldn't break his bones, it was enough to make him feel heartbroken.
Cao Kun felt that he was cutting flesh, but Su Jinpa felt a little disgusted.
"Boss Cao, it's better to sit back and think about it again."
A word that was neither light nor serious made Cao Kun shut up.
Cao Kun's face turned pale and he sat back down obediently.
Just when his butt was about to touch the chair, Su Jinpa suddenly said: "Beijing-Hangzhou water transport, there are large-scale armed fights every year, and it is common for people to lose their lives. What's more, Jianghu sects are involved in it. We regard the laws and regulations of the court as such.
Wuwu, Boss Cao, you are in the water transport business, do you understand this?"
