C1065 Clearing the Heart of the People
Shangguan Haitang said doubtfully, "But the materials brought back by General Wei Qing from the Western Xia Empire, there should be more than enough for us to compete for Pseudo-Tang, right?"1
Shen Muqing thought for a while.
There are many rebellious powers who have yet to settle down, so they still need to use a lot of money in many places. The imperial treasury might not even be enough, not to mention the fact that the imperial city is so far away from the Lingnan, so how long will it take for all of these things to arrive from the imperial city? The war bonds are different. The war bonds were issued by our Bank of China and they were collected around the Lingnan. They prevented the consumption of money in the process of transportation and were beneficial to the war. "
Shen Wansan's eyes flashed with a trace of light as he said in all directions, "From a business point of view, the people who want to buy bonds should be because he is profitable, right?"
Shen Muqing nodded and said, "It has to be profitable. The war can be lost and won, so the interest that the war bonds give to the citizens must be at least twice as high as the bank's. For example, if we look at the outcome of the war, the interest on the 30 million war bonds given by Young Lord will be 10%."
"The commoners may hesitate, but your highness, we are invincible, and the commoners are eager to buy it. Aren't we giving it away for nothing?"
Shen Muqing smiled: "You're good at business, even if you know there are losses you can still make a profit. So what if you let the common people make a profit once? It was only 3 million silver! How much more than a hundredfold have we reaped in order to achieve our goal? How can you be lacking in money? "
Shen Wansan finally understood and nodded: "So that's what it is..." We also want to use war bonds to make a start. With 3 million silver, they know the role of war bonds. This subordinate will immediately issue war bonds! It's mainly because we're testing it out in the Royal Capital and in the other regions! "
Shen Muqing nodded and said, "Everyone is like this, it's all a good bet. This time, the citizens will be very interested in buying the money, and this round will be able to meet the expenses of the national treasury and increase the common sense of the people, especially so that they can identify with the government. From then on, the citizens will be united, the citizens will be united, the military will be united, and the people will not be afraid of the people! When the time comes, you, Shen Wansan, as the President of the First Bank of China! I'm afraid that his name will go down the ages! "
Shen Wansan's face revealed an excited expression. He bowed to Shen Muqing and said, "Your highness has a great foresight, your subordinate admires you for being willing to help your highness!"
Shen Wansan wasn't lacking in money. He already had so much money, but if he could keep his name for a thousand years, then … It was their Shen Family Ancestor's Tomb that was emitting green smoke.
Shen Muqing took a sip of tea and asked Zhang Han and Qi Jiguang, "How are the preparations for the army of the Phoenix coming along?"
He then heard Qi Jiguang say, "Reporting to the Prince, the Phoenix Army has a total of 900 thousand troops, and has been divided into 9 guards. Each guard team has 100 thousand people, and the most elite guards are Lee Cunxiao and Lee Yuanba. "In addition, General Zhou, General Xu, General Liu, and General Xu will each lead their own men. Now that the four guards have completed their rehearsal, the rest can wait until General Zheng and General Liu come back!"
Shen Muqing nodded and said: "There are no small matters on the battlefield, and the recruits need to be trained for a while. Moreover, this conquest of Lingnan is also a trial for them, so this king will give you two months.
Zhang Han and Qi Jiguang suddenly said solemnly, "I will obey your orders and not disappoint you, your highness!"
