Chapter 248: Self-interest
This was a strategy that Zhang Bai had thought up a long time ago.
The bonds he asked Kushan to issue were actually national bonds, also known as national bonds.It can be bought and sold, and interest can be collected. Because the issuing entity is the state, it is quite stable.
But Zhang Bai relied on the fact that no one understood this thing, so he secretly stuffed private goods in it.National bonds generally have a time limit, and the principal and interest must be cashed out within a certain period of time.However, Zhang Bai did not mention this period, but regarded the bond as a kind of credit certificate and handed it to Su Lin.
This bond has become something with no maturity, that is, a so-called indefinite bond. Since it has no maturity, it is actually impossible for the holder to recover the principal with this bond, and can only collect interest. In fact, it becomes similar to a stock. .
This is tantamount to treating the country as a company and taking it apart and listing it.Whether it was Su Lin or Guishang, they would only think it was a simple loan and would not have thought that Zhang Bai was secretly entering the "board of directors" of this country.
Su Lin didn't understand such profound modern financial principles. He just thought that Zhang Bai was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get his principal back, so he helped him add more guarantees. He was very happy and thanked him profusely!He was happy not only for the interest, but also for the spaceship. This young Ahurama seemed to value the Sulin family very much.
"This matter is settled," Zhang Bai said: "But there is still a little thing I need your help with. I know you are also very popular in Peshawar. Can you introduce some nobles and ministers to me and ask them to help me persuade Baishawar? General Azar of Va, ask him not to go to Rome but to seek refuge with me. If you can do this, I will give you the spaceship immediately."
"What?" Su Lin turned pale in surprise, "Master Azar is going to Rome? This is not possible." Zhang Bai was taken aback by Su Lin's reaction. He didn't expect him to be so excited about this matter. Asked: "What happened to Hazard going to Rome?"
"Rome borders Parthia and were once enemy countries. The Roman army is now dominated by infantry, and Parthia can barely use cavalry to deal with it. If Azar goes to Rome and helps Rome build a strong cavalry, then everything Once they turn against each other again and send troops to attack Parthia, this battle will be impossible to fight, and Parthia will be destroyed. This must be stopped!"
So it's a good thing. Zhang Bai immediately replied: "Okay! It seems that our interests in this matter are the same. Then I leave it to you to stop Azar. As for my spaceship, it is parked at Next to your camp, you pick a few smart confidants, and I will send people to train them in the past few days. During these days, I must teach them how to sail the boat, so that the handover will be convenient."
Sulin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you Ahurama, I will definitely handle the things you asked me to do."
"And you...your final payment...?" Zhang Bai shamelessly urged him to pay in advance.
Su Lin didn't care and whispered softly: "It has been prepared for a long time. This time it is all gold coins. I have brought them all. There is a box!"
There is gold!Zhang Bai’s eyebrows were wide open and he kept saying “Okay, okay!”
......
To the east of the city, Azar stepped forward to appease the Southern Expedition Corps that had come from afar.
This regiment had just set up camp, and they were forced to move because the war on the southern front was in full swing.
There, Kushan's long-standing rival, the Indian Baicheng Dynasty, had fallen apart, and its remnant Andaro Kingdom, which was huddled in the south, was also defeated and lost its capital.
However, the Andaro people did not lose to the Kushans, but to the emerging sugar cane kingdom.
This kingdom was established not long ago, and the current king Aja (she) is good at archery.He is the son of King Luo Ku, whose capital is located in Ayodha. He also has a son who is excellent in martial arts, named King of Ten Chariots.
The Kingdom of Andaro did not surrender after its defeat, but still held on to the sea near the south. They had a fleet at sea, which did not suffer any losses.This fleet is still the overlord of the sea on the west coast of the Indian subcontinent. It is even stronger than Kushan and Sassanid and has become the final trump card of the Andaro Kingdom.
The Kushan Army's Southern Expedition has been fighting a long war with the Andaro people. Now that the Kingdom of Andaro has finally suffered a disastrous defeat, the Army thought it could take advantage and seize a lot of land.Unexpectedly, when heading south, the vanguard army was ambushed.
It was the archers of the Sugar Cane Kingdom who ambushed them, led by their prince, King of Ten Chariots.The archers hid in the dense forest, hiding their figures, waiting for the Kushan cavalry to enter the ambush circle, and then fired a volley of bows and arrows, catching the Kushan cavalry by surprise.
The Southern Expedition Corps was naturally unconvinced by this setback and was preparing to officially start a war with the Sugar Cane Kingdom. However, news came from Peshawar of internal instability and a request for assistance.Legion commander Ivli originally didn't want to take care of the rear affairs, but it was Azar who asked for help and he had to save him out of emotion and reason.
So the legion formed five thousand cavalry. Just as they were about to set off, two foreigners, a man and a woman, came with the emperor's order and directly ordered the Southern Expedition legion to return to Peshawar with its main force.Although these two people are suspicious, the seal of Emperor Chuhut in the letter is true.
As a result, the number of returning troops had to be increased to 2 troops. Army Commander Ivli took away the most capable generals around him, and the remaining Southern Expedition Army had to retreat several times from the front line under the leadership of Ivli. Here, wait for the opportunity to start a war again.
After hearing this, Azar found it strange that he had only sent a letter once, and had never sent a letter for the emperor. Moreover, Emperor Chuhut was already dead at that time!
But no matter how much he asked, the generals of the legion couldn't tell what was going on.Only Adrian, the deputy commander of the Southern Regiment, provided some information.
"I took a look at the letter from the emperor. It was not a letter from Emperor Izuku, but the signature of Emir Taha. In the letter, he claimed to have ascended the throne and used the emperor's seal, so we can only believe him." Adrian said.
"That's it! No matter what, Taha is dead anyway, so what does it matter if it's the letter he sent? We should go have a drink to celebrate our reunion." Azar has a straightforward personality, and he doesn't like guessing puzzles in the first place. , plus I was happy to reunite with my old comrades, so I ignored it.
"Dear Adrian, and brothers Enoch and Yachen, come with me! I will tell you what happened in the past few days. It just so happens that I also want to hear about your frontline affairs. Let's go! Let's go! Now go have some fun!"
Several generals laughed together and rode into the city amidst the laughter.
......
A few days later, all the ministers, nobles, and major military generals gathered in the palace, and finally agreed on the merger of the two countries.
In the meantime, Alexander and Zhang Bai, as the two leaders, almost racked their brains.
Because as soon as the merger of the two countries was proposed, the nobles and ministers almost jumped.What happens to their property?What to do with their official positions?Even the eunuchs in the palace became anxious.
Who knows what kind of person Artabanus V was?How will you arrange your own way out?All kinds of uneasiness circulated among these noble people.
