Naturally, Tang Situi did not just learn this word.

What he has learned passively or actively in the past two years has completely transcended the old cognition of the past few decades.

Now Linguo deliberately raised the tariff for some reason, but it just happened to follow the wish of their Mingqiu Poetry Club.

Since Lu Shangshu started to circulate and discuss it through this poetry society, things have been much easier.

Tang Situi used to be the most loyal prime minister in front of the emperor, and also the most catering to the holy will.

Back then when the Kingdom of Lin did not fall from the sky and people focused on the confrontation between the Jin and Song Dynasties, almost all discerning people were calling for the strengthening of border defenses to guard against another invasion by the Kingdom of Jin.

Those civil and military officers who were sober knew what was about to happen, and they were all afraid of Wan Yanliang's wolfish ambitions at that time.

But Tang Situi could see what Zhao Gou wanted, and he stood up to the peace-seeking faction from beginning to end. The emperor didn't mind the move of the capital of Jin, so he defended the emperor at length, acting as the emperor's eagle dog.

Tang Situi didn't care about the survival of the country, and blindly speculated on the emperor's heart. To put it bluntly, it was for himself.

If the Kingdom of Jin really invades, then naturally everyone will die together, no matter whether he is a peacemaker or a main fighter, he will not be able to escape.

But if he didn't call in, it was obvious that he was a vested interest, and this was a profitable business.

Such people have weak moral concepts and light family and country values. Although they are usually loyal to the monarch and the country, they always care about their own interests most.

At the beginning, in order to show his loyalty, he invested a lot of money into Shaoxing manufacturing. Originally, he wanted to spend a lot of money to make the emperor smile, so as to protect himself for the next 30 years. In the end, the money was smashed back by the money——

And he was dizzy from being smashed back.

He didn't expect to get back much of the money invested in the industrial zone. He did it just to keep his position as prime minister when the Jin and Song Dynasties were at war, so as not to be taken advantage of by some people who used to belong to the main combat faction.

But he never imagined that the speed at which this money can generate money is even more terrifying than that of mice. If you spend ten taels, you will get a hundred taels, and if you spend a hundred taels, you will get thousands of taels!

How did the businesswoman surnamed Yun do it? !

Now Yun Qi is already the second in command of Shaoxing Manufacturing, and she is able to handle industrial and commercial investment with ease. Although she is a weak woman, no one dares to touch her——

To move her is to move a lot of money that people have deposited on her behalf to take care of it, and to move half of the imperial court's God of Wealth!

Tang Situi's greed has never been hooked so thoroughly.

He was already very rich. He bought antiques, calligraphy and paintings on weekdays, or got some pearls and corals to enjoy. He thought that he was already under one person and above ten thousand, and some expenses were probably more extravagant than the emperor. .

But the more he came into contact with things in Linguo, and when he felt countless novelty toys, he felt that he had nothing.

He also wanted to have such a versatile horseless cart, he wanted to sleep in a house where the heat and cold could be controlled at will, and he even wanted to get a few shadow walls back to his mansion, and hold his concubine to enjoy them carefully.

But some things can't be bought, just like Song Guo worked hard for several years but couldn't figure out how the cannon that blasted the mountain was made.

"National debt..." Zhao Gou was completely unaware that the seemingly loyal and honest prime minister had changed his name, and asked at a loss, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, although the national treasury is very tight now, think about how many merchants and officials from all over the world have made a fortune by taking advantage of the east wind rising in the Sanzhou Industrial Zone." Tang Situ He is very good at coaxing this kind of matter, otherwise there will not be more and more important ministers in the poetry club: "You don't care if they borrow some, just say it's a national debt, and then return it to others after the crusade against the Kingdom of Jin is over. .”

Zhao Gou was confused when he heard this, and only frowned: "I don't care if those officials and businessmen ask for money? Borrow money?"

"How can I make you bother to borrow money?" Tang Situi said patiently, "Naturally, I will use the name of the court to borrow money. I will first meet the urgent need of military expenses, and then I will just pay them back later."

"Borrow—Prime Minister Tang, did you burn your brain from drinking too much yellow water?!" Zhao Gou laughed and said, "I borrowed it, how could they trust me to pay it back? Besides, how did I pay it back?"

Zhao Gou stood up suddenly, his tone already slightly impatient: "These businessmen have always been profit-seeking objects, and they may not believe that I will pay back the money, let alone lend me the money."

Although he is an emperor, he can understand what is going on in the minds of these ordinary people.

If merchants borrow a large amount of money to the court, and the court cheats on the day when the money is repaid, those merchants will definitely not rebel. It's also very possible.

Prime Minister Tang's idea is really naive!Ridiculous!

"Officials, this is feasible," Tang Situi said with a smile on his face again, "If you borrow money empty-handed, no one dares to trust you even if you set a date for repaying the money, but if you give If you have a specific mortgage, it will be different.”

It's like if a neighbor you don't know very much on weekdays suddenly knocks on the door to borrow five thousand, most people may not be willing to borrow it.

But if the other party pressed the new mobile phone here with their ID card, they would most likely be willing to borrow it.

When Zhao Gou heard this sentence, he secretly felt that it seemed feasible, but his face was still sullen, and he asked suspiciously: "What else do you think I can mortgage?"

Tang Situi bowed respectfully, bowed himself in the tunnel and said, "You can only deposit your tax rights."

Zhao Gou's face changed, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! This is what they can imagine!"

Prime Minister Tang knelt down on the ground, not daring to lift his head, but continued in one breath: "As long as your Majesty takes away more loans than the mortgage tax rights can collect, you will be able to make money without losing money, even if it is really not enough, It only releases the power to collect taxes in a small area, does not involve yamen rule of law and does not shake the military power, it must be worthwhile to talk about money in terms of money!"

Zhao Gou looked at him steadfastly, all he could think about was the stalemate war situation in the north, and he said coldly: "How to mortgage?!"

"Even if it's just a county's right to tax revenue, you can pawn a lion's share of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." Tang Situi sped up his speech and said, "The Song Dynasty is rich and rich, and there must be people fighting for it. Mortgage the tax rights of a state, and let those merchants gather in one place to jointly invest, and they will definitely be able to exchange tens of millions of silver taels—use this money to go to Linguo to buy that magical weapon, and I’m afraid it’s easy to win Shangjing!"

Tang Situi's words were beyond words, magnifying all the good things infinitely, and trying to minimize all the bad things.

Zhao Gou has sold people and land many times, regardless of whether the loyal ministers can sell the territory or the old territory. Now he does not move the local army and does not move power. He just takes the right to collect taxes in exchange for urgent loans. Seems like a great deal.

When he killed Yue Fei back then, he hesitated for a while, and finally gave the order.

The emperor paced back and forth in the hall several times, and finally sat back down.

"Please tell me clearly how the national debt should be issued."

The news that the Song Dynasty court decided to issue Guanghe national debt spread very quickly, and it had already spread to several nearby states in the afternoon of the day when the wind was released in Lin'an.

Even the high-level executives of Linguo received the news immediately, and they were blown up because of this.

Liu Xi had been resting in 1203 because of the gunshot wound, and burst out laughing when he heard the news.

These people who are doing things behind the scenes want to make another scene in the history of Shiguo.

At that time, the country developed from a maritime civilization to a monarchy with an extremely superior business environment. In the Middle Ages, funds were insufficient for expeditions to powerful enemies. The last monarch of the Ming Dynasty directly agreed to the national debt system proposed by the parliament. Carrying out expeditions, everyone knows that the central power is constantly being emptied.

By the time the new land in the distance is laid down, the old nest will have been turned upside down long ago.

Qian Fan now gradually sees clearly which play Liu Xi is playing——

He directly raised the tariffs of neighboring countries, making it difficult for the Song country to stand on its own when the war and the economy were in dire straits at the same time.

The diversion of this misfortune may directly shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

Once the national debt follows the script of the emerging bourgeoisie, whether the court can repay the money...is not up to itself.

Behind the war is finance, and behind finance is plunder and games.

Liu Xi is not a good enough chess player, but he is ruthless enough.

Nor does he have any extra sympathy for Song Guo.
