Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 412 The Shocked People

Zhang Ming went to another county to take a look.

The situation in this county is similar, and many people actively buy government bonds.

At night, Zhang Mingliang identified himself and checked the situation of the bank.

Here, a total of 60 copper coins and [-] silver coins were allocated.

The copper coins were sold out that day.

This speed was unexpected by Zhang Ming.

After the inspection, Zhang Ming decided to go back to Beiping City first to find out the general situation.

Going out this time, Zhang Ming learned a lot of things that he didn't understand.

When they came back, Tian Feng and Chen Gong reported a good news.

"My lord, in this auction, a total of more than 700 million yuan was auctioned. This is a big deal."

All of a sudden, there was more than 700 million disposable money, which made Tian Feng very happy.

"Have the data reports from other counties come up yet?"

Zhang Ming doesn't care about the auction situation of shops in the city.

He is more concerned about the sales of national debt.

Everyone in the cabinet couldn't answer.

Tian Feng said: "Several counties have been reported in the newspaper, but the data has not yet been counted. I have been busy with other things in the past few days."

This is true, and several counties and several cabinets in the newspaper did not read it.

It's not that they don't work well, but that they don't pay much attention to the issuance of this national bond, thinking that they won't be able to collect a lot of money, so they naturally focus on what they think is more important.

"Okay, give me those reports first."

Tian Feng went out first and asked his subordinates to bring the report. After the report was brought, it went directly to Zhang Ming's hands.

Zhang Ming looked at a few photos and frowned.

Seeing that Zhang Ming's expression was not right, Ju Shou thought that the data was too little.

So, Ju Shou said: "My lord, the sale is only a few days away, so I should publicize it in the newspaper a few more times, and I should be able to raise some funds."

Zhang Ming looked at these talented people in front of him with weird eyes.

None of them have read the report, so they are all very busy.

Tian Feng is mainly busy with financial affairs, just after the war, pensions, military expenses and other issues need to be dealt with by him.

And also preside over the auction.

Xi Zhicai has a lot of things to do, such as recruiting recruits to train the army, etc., and also needs to collect military information about Cao Cao and Bingzhou.

The pressure on Chen Gong is not small. He needs to select more talents and send them to Xuzhou, Jizhou and other places.

These newly acquired sites all need to be replaced by their own officials. He needs to understand all the counties and counties under his rule, and the workload is very huge.

Both Jushou and Guo Jia were assigned specific tasks, and the pressure was not light.

"Sure enough, there is a big problem. We must issue a document immediately to rectify the previous working method."

Several people were shocked after hearing what Zhang Ming said. What's going on? Could something serious happen?

Xi Zhicai asked: "My lord, could it be that there has been corruption and breaking the law, but it's not right, and it can't be seen from the report."

Zhang Ming put a few reports on the table, then crossed his hands and fingers on the table and said: "The amount collected is more than the national debt we issued. Things can't be done like this. I'm afraid the first batch has no power to change. , in the second batch, it must be rectified."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Where did this go? The first batch was sent out only a few days ago, so Zhang Ming is thinking about the second batch?

I don't know how much this first batch will sell.

These reports are all from the newspapers in the nearby counties. It takes time for the national debt to be sent to the far away, and it takes time for the report to be sent.

"Is it true that someone collected money randomly? How could there be more money?"

Chen Gong felt that this was a big deal, and it was not an exaggeration to send officials to arrest people.

Chen Gong said: "General Protector, we must strictly investigate, if this continues, the foundation of our rule will be shaken."

Chen Gong felt that this was a big problem, but Zhang Ming knew what was going on.

At this time, Tian Feng felt that something was wrong, he knew that the reported places were all places that were relatively close to Beiping City.

The quality of officials in these places should be able to withstand the test.

"My lord, what is going on?"

Zhang Ming glanced at them and saw the doubts on their faces, so he said: "The national debts of these places have been sold out. This county gave them 80 yuan, and it turned out to be 87 yuan."

Zhang Ming took out another report and said, "This county also has an increase of [-]."

"This county has [-] more"

"and many more."

Ju Shou felt that something was wrong, and he asked loudly: "General Huguo, you mean, these counties have sold out all their national debts?"

Only then did everyone react.

They all think that this is a phased report and report on the current situation.

Who knows, this is a direct submission of tasks.

"Of course, I think they've done their job, they've sold the national debt."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, several people were not happy, but deeply worried.

Guo Jia said: "General Protector, could this be allocated by local officials forcibly? This is not a good thing."

Everyone is also so suspicious.

But Zhang Ming smiled and said: "I don't think so, because they don't need to apportion at all."

Zhang Ming told them in detail about the situation when he went out to investigate.

Everyone was dumbfounded that this would happen.

Tian Feng said excitedly: "The hearts of the people are available, and the hearts of the people are available."

Ju Shou fell into deep thought, and said for a long time, "I am afraid that even the ancient sages could not do this."

Yes, it is very difficult to get the people's money out, but Zhang Ming thinks it is even more difficult to get the people to have money in their hands.

"This is hiding wealth from the people. We spend a lot of money to build homes and make people rich."

Zhang Ming took the opportunity to give his cabinet an economics lesson.

Everyone was amazed.

After everyone digested the information Zhang Ming brought, he said, "These problems need to be rectified immediately, and all the national debts and bonds must be handed over to the people."

"In addition, most of them have no idea about bonds and think they are a piece of waste paper, so we need to increase publicity and tell them that they can pay back in one year."

Zhang Ming talked about several issues in succession, and asked them to study the rectification plan, and then distributed it to the counties.

After talking about the national debt issue, Zhang Ming wants to start an important topic.

"Xi Zhicai, how about our military food reserves? Can it support a big battle?"

"My lord, our current military rations are enough for the entire army for more than half a year."

That's enough, it's the stored food, and it can't be used in normal times.

In normal times, you can buy it nearby, and the food and grass that are raised and stored locally are usually only used during wars.

"Okay, increase purchases, now we have money and food, take this opportunity, I want to go to war."

Everyone reported that Zhang Ming was about to go to war. He was still recovering after a month with Cao Cao, so Zhang Ming was about to go to war.

But everyone was not frightened. Zhang Ming is not unreasonable. If he is not sure, Zhang Ming will not start a war indiscriminately. He can bear it for so long before.
