The next day, Xun Yu's Ministry of Revenue took the lead. After discussing with the Ministry of War, he discovered that if he wanted to launch a national war with the Kushan Empire, he would need 500,000 taels of gold in the early stage. If the subsequent consumption is included, there would be no
There is no way I can get one million taels of gold.
After the calculation was completed, the Imperial Bank quietly opened its doors in Xindu. Their only business was to issue national bonds.
Among them, the one-year bond has a maximum of 300,000 taels of gold, the three-year bond has 200,000 taels of gold, and the five-year bond has only 100,000 taels of gold. This adds up to 600,000 taels of gold, which is enough for the initial start-up capital.
Already.
"Xun Yu, help me subscribe for 50,000 taels of three-year bonds and 100,000 taels of five-year bonds."
Now that the Imperial Bank has opened, Yuan Shu, as the emperor of the empire, naturally has to take the lead. As an example, he will issue a bond of one hundred thousand taels of gold.
Since Yuan Shu had set an example, other civil and military families and emerging aristocratic families did not fall behind, and soon sold another hundred thousand taels of gold bonds.
"Lord, an Imperial Bank has just appeared in Xindu to issue war bonds. Yuan Shu has already subscribed for three-year and five-year bonds worth one hundred thousand taels of gold. At the same time, the same goes for various civil and military officials. What should we do?"
Xi Zhicai took the news he had just received and reported directly to Cao Cao.
“War bonds?
what?"
Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai. He had a blank look at the war bonds and didn't understand what was going on.
"I have roughly understood it. It means using the credibility of the empire as a basis to borrow money from the entire China for the war against the Kushan Empire.
It is divided into one-year, three-year and five-year terms, which can be exchanged from the Imperial Bank when the time is up, with profits of 7%, 10% and 15% respectively."
Xi Zhicai directly revealed the information he found.
"This Yuan Shu is really amazing. He was able to come up with this thing. In this way, he can not only collect the idle funds of the Chinese people to support the war against the Kushan Empire, but also use the funds of the empire to improve people's livelihood. It's the best of both worlds. We
It’s not unfair to lose to him.”
After hearing Xi Zhicai's analysis, Cao Cao suddenly realized that Yuan Shu was really a genius for thinking of these things.
"Then shall we buy some?"
Xi Zhicai nodded to Cao Cao, now it's up to him what to do.
"This is Yuan Shu giving money to everyone. To buy, use half of our funds to buy them all. Buy three-year bonds. Remember to spread your purchases and don't let others see the flaws."
Cao Cao is now very optimistic about the state of China. Yuan Shu is physically strong and will be fine for at least ten years.
This seems to be Yuan Shu's welfare. Since he wants to give money, he shouldn't look down on others.
"I see."
Xi Zhicai clasped his fist at Cao Cao, and then went down to arrange for his people to buy war bonds.
Jizhou is the place where Yuan Shu first reformed, so the people here can be said to be the richest place in the country. Anyone who has extra money or food in their hands will give full support.
Not for anything else, just because everyone believes in Yuan Shu and the new China. As long as they believe in each other, these bonds are pure money.
As a result, as soon as the news spread to Xindu, all the 600,000 taels of gold war bonds were sold out in five days.
"Your Majesty, the war bonds are sold out."
Xun Yu came to Yuan Shu and directly reported the news that the war bonds had been sold out.
"So fast?"
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Yuan Shu was also slightly startled. Although he bought a war bond worth 100,000 taels of gold, he still had 500,000 taels of gold, which he bought in just a few days.
"Well, I am now considering whether to issue another five hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Xun Yu nodded, with a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Originally, he thought that the 600,000 taels of gold would be sold for a period of time, and even to the whole country. But now it's better. He originally wanted to open banks in the capitals of various states.
The branch is no longer in use, and the letter has not even been sent out, so it’s over.
"No, this is the credibility of the empire. Six hundred thousand taels is already a lot. It is enough to support the war with the Kushan Empire. If there are still problems later, let's talk about it separately.
You have to know that if you want the economy to develop, you must ensure that people have money in their hands, otherwise the economy will be a pool of stagnant water and cannot be activated at all."
Yuan Shu shook his head. War bonds were only a temporary measure and could not be relied upon to harvest the purchasing power of the domestic people. Otherwise, it would be like killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs, which would damage the sound development of the domestic economy.
"I see."
Xun Yu also understood after hearing Yuan Shu's words. To put it bluntly, if the economy wants to develop, it must enrich the people. Only when the people are rich can the economy develop. Only when the economy develops can the country become rich and strong. These are all mutually reinforcing.
"Well, now that we have the money, we can make arrangements for the expedition."
Yuan Shu nodded. Now that he has the money, he can make arrangements for the expedition.
"Well, I will arrange the next money."
Xun Yu saluted Yuan Shu. In fact, he had already spent the money at the beginning, and now he had already spent one hundred thousand taels of gold.
"By the way, you have to give me twenty thousand taels of gold."
Xun Yu was going to arrange the spending of money. Yuan Shu suddenly remembered something. Since he was going on an expedition, the radio station was indispensable. His money did not come from the strong wind. Naturally, the Chinese Empire had to pay for the purchases.
.
"?
?”
Xun Yu glanced at Yuan Shu and didn't understand why he wanted 20,000 taels of gold from him. You are richer than the treasury now, so why do you want money?
"Don't worry about this, I will be of great use and I will give you a surprise when the time comes."
Yuan Shu has nothing to say now. He can't tell others that he has a system and can buy a transmitter from the mall.
"Your Majesty, please don't lie to me. My money is of great use."
Yuan Shu didn't mention the purpose, which gave him a headache, but since everyone else had told him, he couldn't refuse.
“Don’t worry, we guarantee you’ll get value for money.”
Yuan Shu nodded to Xun Yu, indicating to him that he would get value for money.
"I will arrange for someone to deliver the gold when I get back. If nothing happens, I will leave."
Xun Yu glanced at Yuan Shu. He really didn't dare to stay here now. He had too much money to spend. If he stayed here any longer, if Yuan Shu asked him for money again, he wouldn't be able to resist it.
live.
"Let's go."
"promise."
Xun Yu cupped his fists at Yuan Shu, turned around and walked away, as if stepping on a whirlwind, leaving Yuan Shu speechless for a while.
Soon Xun Yu sent someone to deliver 20,000 taels of gold to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu looked at the golden 20,000 taels of gold and shook his head.
"System, I want to redeem ten sets of transmitters."
Yuan Shu directly clicked on the system mall, and then chose to redeem ten sets of transmitters.
With a flash of golden light, boxes of gold disappeared instantly, replaced by ten sets of transmitters, all placed in front of him.
"This is the life of hard work, come on."
"His Majesty."
The two guards pushed the door open directly and saluted him.
"Guard this house and don't allow anyone to enter. Send these transmitters to Lord Ji Xunyu tomorrow and tell him that they were bought for 20,000 taels of gold."
"promise."
Soon the personal guards secured the house, and the next day they installed ten sets of transmitters, put them on carriages and sent them directly to the office of the Minister of Revenue.
"Sir, your Majesty's personal guards are here."
Xun Yu was handling official business, and someone from the government came in to report.
"His Majesty's personal guards are here?"
When he heard that Yuan Shu's personal guards were coming, Xun Yu stood up directly and came outside to greet them.
"Xun Shangshu, His Majesty asked us to bring this here. There are ten sets and twenty transmitters in total. They were exchanged for the twenty thousand taels of gold that you gave His Majesty."
The Guards leader Chen Yue glanced at Xun Yu who came out, opened the curtain of the car and handed the transmitter placed inside to Xun Yu.
"Twenty thousand and twenty sets of transmitters, which means one set is equivalent to two thousand taels of gold?"
Xun Yu also saw the transmitter in the car. To be honest, he had long felt that something like a transmitter was not enough, but it was too rare and he did not dare to dismantle it without authorization.
If it couldn't be disassembled, there would be no way to restore it in reverse, even if it was just like a cat and a tiger. Now, if it was really a set of two thousand taels of gold, although it was not cheap, he gritted his teeth and could still squeeze out some more.
"Well, that's probably what it means."
Chen Yue didn't know where Yuan Shu came from, but according to what the other party said, if there were twenty thousand and twenty sets, one set would be equivalent to two thousand taels of gold.
"Here comes someone."
Xun Yu had nothing to say, so he directly ordered people to unload the transmitters to the treasury, and then arranged for five of them to be sent to Guo Jia. The other five sets were quickly divided into ten for those who did not have transmitters.
The state and county sent it over.
After arranging all this, Xun Yu came to Yuan Shu again without stopping. He wanted to verify with Yuan Shu about the transmitter. If it was really a set of two thousand taels of gold, he would go on a killing spree.
"Your Majesty, Xun Yu, Xun Shangshu, would like to see you."
Yuan Shu was resting when his bodyguard came to report to Xun Yu and asked for an audience.
"What is he here for?
Let him come in."
When he heard that Xun Yu was coming, Yuan Shu's first thought was that he must be here for the transmitter, but I gave it to you, so why are you here?
"Your Majesty, Xun Yu, pays homage to your Majesty."
Xun Yu glanced at Yuan Shu, knelt down on his knees and saluted him.
"Ping Sheng, tell me, are you here for the transmitter?"
Yuan Shu directly signaled Xun Yu to stand up.
"Your Majesty, I want to know where the transmitter came from."
Now that Yuan Shu had said so, he didn't hide it anymore and directly expressed his inner thoughts.
"People always have some secrets, right? But don't worry, only I can access this transmitter, and it won't threaten the safety of China."
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell everyone these things, but that he simply couldn't.
"Okay, let me put the question in another way. In the past, transmitters were too rare, and I didn't dare to break them down even if I wanted to. Now that Your Majesty has a way to exchange them, I would like to know if two thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for one.
,
If so, I can squeeze it out later, exchange it for a set, and give it to the Academy of Sciences for research, hoping that I can reverse engineer the transmitter, is that okay?"
Xun Yu glanced at Yuan Shu and knew that he might have gone too far. He asked about the other party's secret, but he didn't want to think too much. As long as Yuan Shu could guarantee that he got what he wanted, it didn't matter whether he stole or robbed.
"You take the money and I'll give you something, but you have to know that it's a set of two thousand taels of gold. Are you sure you want it?"
Xun Yu still knows how to advance and retreat, and Yuan Shu also knows that the other party is doing it unintentionally. Since he has already said that as long as the source of the things is not asked, then he can completely satisfy him.
"Okay, I will ask someone to send money to His Majesty right away when I get back. One hundred thousand taels of gold will be given as a gift. To be honest, the transmitter can already be regarded as a strategic resource.
Ten sets of transmitters are not enough at all, I wish every county could have one, especially if we are going to expedition to Kushan. If there are transmitters, it will definitely be of great help to us in ruling other countries."
