Great Song

"The national debt is about to be sold, and there will not be many people buying it." In Cheng's mansion, Cheng Yi couldn't help smiling when he saw the new "Beijing News" announcement.

These days, "Ming De Bao" can be said to be very popular among scholars.Criticism of the national debt has indeed attracted many supporters.Just because of the national debt, it is too absurd.If it is implemented seriously, the national treasury may be in debt for a long time.This is still the second, and more importantly, once the emperor has tasted the sweetness, he will issue national debt in the future when he is short of money. Wouldn't the court never have peace?As long as there are people of insight, who would dare to let go of this hole?Since the emperor could not change his mind, he could only create momentum to make the courtiers fearful and dare not buy national debt at will.

As long as the officials in Beijing do not move, the rich and powerful who are attached to high-ranking officials will not move without authorization. 20 sticks, when will Xiaomin sell it?After ten days and a half months, seeing that the national debt cannot be sold, the officials will give up.Wouldn't it be their blunt admonishers who will make meritorious service at that time?

"It's just that the clan and relatives are not coerced by words and morals, so we have to guard against it." Cheng Hao thought a little deeper than his younger brother, and stroked his beard.These people are not afraid of what the officials say. If they want to help the emperor wave the flag and take down 20 yuan of national debt, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

Cheng Yi laughed when he heard the words: "Brother, I'm worrying too much. Which of these people don't want to lend money? They are all greedy people. The emperor only pays five or six per cent interest, which has already touched their interests. I am afraid that they hate this national debt more than others. Even if someone comes forward, they won't buy too much. Is it possible to let the emperor know, do you have money?"

Those who can use thousands of dollars to buy government bonds must have more spare money on hand.Those clans wished they could come to the door every day to cry for poverty, who would dare to reveal their wealth at this time?

"In this way, things will be safe." Cheng Hao made some calculations in his heart and heaved a sigh of relief.Rich people are all tied up.I'm afraid that this national debt will really be unsalable.I only hope that after this battle, the emperor will wake up.As the son of heaven, he talks about profit all day long, and even wants to take the money of ordinary people.If it is not restrained, it is afraid that it will cause a catastrophe and eventually harm the people and the people.Their hard work was not in vain.

It's not just the second journey, there are countless people in the entire city of Tokyo, waiting to see the joke about the national debt.until the day of sale.

Early in the morning, Wang Dalang yawned and walked slowly towards the Yamen.He is a servant of the third division government office, and he is on duty today.If it was in the past, it wouldn't hurt to go later.His brother-in-law is an official in the department, and the Shangguan will not be embarrassed.But it couldn't be done today. Because of the national debt, the three divisions were in a hurry, for fear of ruining a job that the government valued.Therefore, Wang Dalang had no choice but to rush to the government office before dawn, hoping to arrive earlier so as not to get into trouble with Shangguan.

Is it worth the effort to just buy a national bond?He has already asked his colleagues, and few of the upper officials are optimistic about the national debt.Officials don't even buy it, so why would they buy it?

Turning around the last alley, it should be the government office, and I don't know if I'm late... Wang Dalang covered his mouth, trying to cover up another yawn, but when he raised his eyes, he froze on the spot.

This, is this the gate of the Sansi Yamen?Why are there so many people waiting outside the door? !

He didn't even have time to put his hands down, Wang Dalang stared at the human dragon in front of him in a daze, and was so frightened that he almost flew out of his wits.After this pause, a few people rushed over from behind, seeing him all dressed up, they hurriedly asked: "This poor man, is the front place selling treasury bills?"

Wang Dalang put down his hand stiffly and looked at the person coming.I saw three or five people, some dressed as shopkeepers, some selling goods with burdens, and an old man who was not young.Are these people also here to buy national debt?

Seeing that he didn't answer, someone became anxious: "I'm afraid this poor man doesn't know, let's go to the front and ask!"

There's already such a long queue in front, so we can't delay any longer!Several people quickly confessed their crimes, rushed to the end of the line, asked a few words, and then formed a line.

Wang Dalang was stunned for a while, then he quickened his pace and rushed towards the government office.It's just after the fifth watch, and the inner city gate has just opened, why is there someone waiting here?

He rushed to the yamen in a hurry, and as soon as he stepped through the door, the team leader shouted at him: "Wang Da, why did you come here? Quick! The judge has an order, go to Kaifeng mansion to borrow some yamen servants!"

Wang Dalang was stunned by the words he said in front of him: "How can I repay the borrower..."

"You rascal! It's crowded outside, can you do it without borrowing some people? Hurry up! I have to order someone to take care of the yamen!" The team leader almost spit on Wang Dalang's face.

Wang Dalang's heart tightened, he didn't dare to neglect, turned around and ran out.While running, I thought: "Why are so many small people buying this national debt? Is it really profitable? Ah, I really missed it. I will have to find time to pass the letter to my family later, and I will buy some quietly." OK!"

At any rate, they borrowed fifty yamen servants from Kaifeng Mansion, and erected fences to trap all the people in line.The chaos at the gate of the yamen stopped a little bit.Even so, at first glance, the long line in front of the gate is still daunting.There were indeed men and women, old and young, and many of them were still holding large packages, apparently carrying money with them.At this time, only the presence of the Yamen servants from Kaifeng Mansion can restrain Xiaoxiao.

There was a lot of commotion and noise, and after waiting for an hour, it was time for the yamen to open and sell national debt.The little officials who used to drink tea and read the newspaper with their feet up, how can they still have the leisure in the past?The money is collected, counted and weighed, and the seal of the third company must be stamped on the bond before it can be handed over to the buyer.It would be fine if there were fewer people, but the queue was completely empty, and all the money was handled, so I dare not miss it.It simply made the officials sweat profusely and complain endlessly.

It’s okay if you only buy one or two treasury bills, but if you buy ten in one go, you’ll be merciless if you spend any money.Who is it that said that not many people will buy this national debt?It's really harmful!

The petty officials were full of complaints, but the people who came to buy the national debt were all smiling.

"Look at what's printed on this paper! Why is it so bright?" Some people were not afraid of revealing their money, and held up the bonds in their hands as if showing off.Obviously it's only ten guan, but it's as public as if it's rich.

The man on the side sneered: "You bought the one with no quality land, right? The picture above won't work. You need fifteen pieces of quality land to see the way."

As he said that, he also took out his own bond, and flashed it in front of the other party: "See? What is drawn on this is the land pledged to me by the government! It expires in two years, and the land boundary on this map has One hundred acres will belong to me!"

Although there are only five more guans, one is a house and the other is a river and mountain. How can they be the same?Not to mention, this painting is so realistic, as if you can see the fertile fields surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The man who was so flamboyant just now couldn't help but let out a groan, and said with a stiff neck, "I have an annual interest rate of six per cent. You can only get it if you come early. I've been in line for an hour!"

One per cent more, but one hundred pennies more.And it only takes one year to redeem the money.Because of this, most of those who came to line up early bought this.Queuing now, I'm afraid I can't buy it.

"Hey, what's a hundred cash? Who didn't wait for an hour? This is a hectare of land, can it be bought for a hundred cash?" The man suddenly became unhappy, and retorted.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, a kid on the side let out a hey, "Don't fight for ten and fifteen. There was a high-roller in front of me just now, and he took a total of five coupons for 150." !"

Hearing these words, everyone hissed for a while, that would cost more than 700 pennies, he really is a rich man!

In the restaurant on the side, Sun Yuanwai took the five treasury bills handed over by his attendants, held them in his hand and looked at them carefully: "The printing on these coupons is really fine."

Not to mention the unique map of mountains and rivers, but the color matching on the coupons is amazing.Even the picture books published in the Guozijian are only three colors at most.There are five colors printed on this small piece of paper!What's even more rare is that the five bonds are generally identical, and there is not even a single printed one.Such a beautiful pattern, I am afraid that it cannot be imitated.

The entourage complimented: "The owner of the house is still shrewd! Look at the crowds, these treasury bills are really in demand!"

Sun Yuanwai chuckled: "Liu Laoer also said that national debts cannot be bought. If you listen to his nonsense, you may not be able to grab it. The fifty hectares of land are not easy to buy."

The follower was startled: "Patriarch really wants to change the land?"

"Change! Why not?" Sun Yuanwai snorted, "My third uncle was doing business on Qinfeng Road, and it was he who sent a letter back quickly saying that Qinzhou has set up a new frontier, which seems to be showing signs of revitalization. If Qinzhou can settle down , this fifty hectares of land is enough for Erlang to settle down."

This involved the important matter of family separation, the attendant immediately kept quiet and did not dare to say more.Mrs. Xuxian at home is really not easy to mess with.In the future, Mr. Erlang will only be able to share the family property with a thousand guan.Changing it to another place, this thousand pennies is really not worth it.But if it becomes 200 hectares of fertile land, with more than [-] yuan of savings, it will be enough to support a family business.

It's hard for the head of the family to be so caring, it's all the debt of his children...

The long dragon in front of the Sansi Yamen naturally attracted a lot of attention.As a result, after daylight, the rows did not shorten, but instead became longer and longer.There was such a commotion that before the yamen was dismissed, an officer came out and announced the news of the short sale of the national debt.

Those who waited for a long time with their money in their hands were inevitably disappointed.Some even cried in the street.Fortunately, there were government servants from Kaifeng Mansion by their side, so there was no trouble.

As soon as Mi Fu came to the Yamen, he hurried to the Han Mansion with the treasury bills bought by the servants.As soon as he entered the door, he said happily: "Brother Zhen, I just grabbed 370 five guans this time!"

Zhen Qiong was taken aback: "Why are there still parts and wholes?"

"Two of 150 coins, three of [-] coins, and three of [-] coins. At that time, the big money will be exchanged, and the small money will be kept. I can collect six treasury bills!" Mi Fu was very proud.In this way, he can leave several treasury bills for only half the money.This is his first famous work, so of course he has to collect a few copies.

Zhen Qiong was almost at a loss for words: "...Your problem, you should correct it sooner or later. Don't you still keep the original drawing in your hand? So many treasury bills have been printed, how can they be worth anything?"

People buy treasury bonds to make money, but you buy them as a discount.How can there be such a fool?

But Mi Fu shook his head and said, "You don't know about this. The treasury bills will have to be returned sooner or later. I'm afraid few of them will buy them for collection. When I become famous, it will be worth a lot of money!"

All right, you'll be happy.

Zhen Qiong didn't bother to talk about him anymore, but Mi Fu didn't want to finish it, and asked again: "I heard that the treasury bills were sold out today. How much did Brother Zhen rob?"

Zhen Qiong waited for him to ask this question, and immediately smiled: "Pindao buys treasury bonds, do you still need to rob them? They are all delivered to the door by the third division himself!"

Mi Fu's eyes widened immediately: "How much did you buy? They even sent it back?"

He had ordered his servants to wait at the gate of Sansi early in the morning, and it was only through untold hardships that he snatched these few cards out.This trail doesn't even need to line up?

"Six thousand guan, it's not worth mentioning." Having said that, Zhen Qiong still accentuated the word "six thousand guan".

Mi Fu: "..."

Damn, is it great to marry a rich man?In the future, he will have to choose a rich dowry!
