Age of mythical princes

Chapter 241 If I Can't Beat the Peaceful Way, I Can't Beat You?

Baijia Six Years Winter

Taipingdao officially issued the sixth tranche of Taiping County Development Bonds. This time, it issued 2000 billion yuan directly, with a five-year period and only one point of interest.

One point of interest will be repaid after five years. Under normal circumstances, no one will buy this kind of bond.It's so deceitful, just put out a usury loan, nine out of ten and thirteen returns are considered conscientious.When unscrupulous usury lends money, it directly rolls back the interest, and tries every means to make you repay it. In the end, you lose all your wealth until you sell yourself into slavery.

But these 5000 billion bonds were very popular and sold out quickly.

It is said that some people even came to the door to express their willingness to pay a high price, willing to pay twice the price, and directly buy 100 billion bonds.

Give 200 billion copper coins or 200 million taels of sand, just to buy 100 billion Taipingdao development bonds, but they were rejected by the Taipingdao people.

This time, Sun En, who was in charge of bond sales, had an idea and directly raised the selling price on the bond exchange: a bond with a face value of 1 taels, a five-year term, and an interest of one point. The initial selling price was [-] yuan.

In other words, if Taipingdao repays the money smoothly after five years, those who bought the bonds will lose money.Buying is a loss, the more you buy, the more you will lose!
But even so, the initial selling price of 1000 yuan, [-] billion bonds were quickly sold out.

For the remaining 1000 billion bonds, Sun En raised the price again, directly mentioning [-] yuan, but they were still sold out quickly.

It was originally planned to raise 2000 billion yuan, but now it has directly raised 5000 billion yuan.

"Hey, we have this 5000 billion, can't we pay back the money directly?"

"Wouldn't it be nice for us to leave 2000 billion to pay back next year?"

Looking at the happy second and third younger brothers, Taoist Taiping sighed and said, "You guys are thinking too much. I think there may be a wealthy businessman going to the opposite side right now."

"Our battle is no longer pure. It is no longer a simple dispute between Taiping Dao and Hanoi County. There are a group of wealthy businessmen behind them, trying to control everything and influence the war."

Speaking of this, Taoist Taiping took out a copy of the Yancheng Bond Trading News: "Look at Lu's words, how touching, how touching."

"Buy all the Taiping County Development Bonds at a price of 900 yuan, and then sell them at a price of [-] yuan. Once they enter and exit, they will make a profit of [-] billion yuan. This profit of nearly one trillion yuan seems to be in the It’s the same as before, as if you only need to buy low and sell high to earn a trillion!”

Speaking of this, Taoist Taiping shook his head: "This is the first time, so not many people have thought about it, but what about next year? What about the year after?"

"Even, what about the wars between other counties?"

"At that time, will someone artificially trigger a war in order to manipulate bond prices? Artificially create some true and false news, which will cause bond price turmoil? After the bond price turmoil, those who have been prepared for a long time can Started buying low and selling high.”

"You say, earning money honestly, honestly waiting until the bond matures to give money, and directly using various means to manipulate bond price fluctuations and then harvest, which one is more popular?"

Hearing this, even Sun En, who was always smiling, couldn't laugh anymore.

Will the group of nobles do this?
Based on Sun En's understanding of nobles, they will definitely do this!

Even if some nobles do not do this due to personal integrity, other nobles will scramble to do so.

To develop and manage a county honestly, how can it be so refreshing to prepare in advance, or even launch a war to cause bond price fluctuations?
When the bond matures, how much is the interest?

A turmoil in bond prices, if you take advantage of it, you will earn tens of billions or hundreds of billions!

At this moment, Taoist Taiping only felt that a new era was coming.In the eyes of Daoist Taiping, the bond exchange is like a newborn monster that has grown to the point where it is finally about to start eating people.

The Taiping Taoist is still sighing, but Young Master Si’s mood at the moment is very complicated, and the complexity is indescribable: "At first, I wanted to drag Taiping Dao to death, but this time it’s okay, Taiping Dao can easily raise 5000 billion yuan, and take out 1000 billion yuan at random. , can guarantee the life of the people under the rule, and spend another 1000 billion to continue to develop into the forest and buy a large number of slaves. These slaves, after a few years, will be transformed into the population of Taipingdao."

"The remaining 3000 billion yuan can all be used for war. If we continue to drag it on, we will be the first to be dragged to death, right?"

Speaking of this, before waiting for his confidant to answer, Young Master Si began to ask and answer: "In our Hanoi County, the annual output of fields plus the output of various industries has exceeded 500 billion. Gentlemen and No matter how hard you work, it will not be difficult to reach 2000 billion, but it will become very difficult after [-] billion."

"However, considering the impact of the war, it is thankful to be able to maintain 1000 billion."

"In the past, if we developed normally, we could pay off the 1000 billion development bonds. But now, not only have we not paid the bonds, but even the speed of development has been affected. If this continues, it will only be us who will be dragged to death. .”

Although these words are a bit frustrating, there are only a very small number of confidantes present, and they can tell a little bit of the truth.

Speaking of this, Young Master Si closed his eyes, and when he opened them again after a while, he became extremely tough, and his mental state immediately changed: "Please teach me!"

Li Kui first said: "The core of our reform in Hanoi County is actually to attack the traditional aristocrats who are rich and prosperous. At the same time, they will be rewarded for their merits, and a group of capable and loyal small and medium-sized aristocrats will be promoted, and at the same time, the concentration of power will be completed."

"Such a reform is doomed that we can't directly exchange the exercises for money like Taiping County. Once the exercises can be directly exchanged for money, then the military merits will no longer be unique and sacred."

In the past, in Hanoi County, only after obtaining military merits, could they obtain the rewards of martial arts, official titles, and titles.At that time, in order to climb up or to obtain the skills, the geniuses of the common people at the bottom would fight desperately to fight for Hanoi County.

Use interests to shape people's hearts, and then create Hanoi County's own interest groups, and even the ruling foundation.

At this time, if Hanoi County also follows the example of Taiping Road, instead of paying back the money but exchanging money with exercises, then the hearts of Hanoi County will be shaken: the exercises that can only be obtained through hard work on the battlefield and life and death. Stinky money is fine, so why are you still working so hard?Wouldn't it be enough to work hard to make money?

If you fail to make money, at least your life is still alive.

If you fail on the battlefield, your life is gone.

This is like the Han Dynasty in Jiang Hua's previous life, when he made a decree to donate food for titles.

As soon as this decree came out, many big businessmen donated some food and immediately obtained titles.And these titles, in the past, were precious titles that required soldiers to work hard, and were not necessarily obtainable.

It can only be said that the kings of the Han Dynasty also spent a lot of effort in order to completely abolish the idea of ​​military meritorious service.

"In order to maintain the enthusiasm of the bottom, we can't do the thing of directly using exercises and blood to pay back the money. Once we do it, the way to climb up will change from the road of military merit to military merit plus earning two dollars. way."

Some things can be done, but cannot be said openly.

The advantage is to let the whole society only have military merit as the path to advancement, and other paths to advancement can only be accidental, cannot be scaled, and cannot form a conventional path. Otherwise, soldiers will have a choice. With options, there is no need to work as hard as you used to.Even if you continue to work hard, your determination to do it will be slightly weaker than before.

Pang Juan also nodded: "Indeed, if money can be used to buy exercises and blood essence, then the number of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers in Hanoi County will be reduced by half at once! The difficulty of training Xuan-level Taoist soldiers in the future will be at least Double it!"

"Our Hanoi County now has 3000 quasi-xuan-level Taoist soldiers. Most of these [-] people are from the families of Chinese and scholars. They have a little money at home. They are full of snacks and drinks since childhood. They have learned the art of war, archery, horseback riding, swordsmanship, and hunting since childhood. and extraordinary knowledge."

"These people have very good foundations, and their foundations are fairly solid. They are far from the top, and most of the time they are only short of a skill or a little blood. Compared with the sons of doctors and ministers, they are not so stupid. , it’s just that they don’t have enough insight, and they don’t have so many exercises to choose from.”

"The reason why they join the selection of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers is not that they are really loyal and unspeakable, but because they can obtain completely accurate exercises by joining the selection of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. They explain the exercises and get a lot of cultivation resources."

"As for money, the people of the country and the scholars can still come up with some money after gnashing their teeth. If it doesn't work, just sell some ancestral property, or find a way to borrow money, and you can always get money."

"At that time, they could buy the development bonds of our Hanoi County, and finally obtain the exercises. After having the exercises, why do they have to let the best sons join the selection of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers? Is Hanoi County working hard? Wouldn’t it be enough to just focus on finding a way to make money in the future?”

"If we lose these outstanding youths who are scholars and Chinese, we may have less than a thousand of our three thousand quasi-xuan-level Taoist soldiers. The difficulty of selection and training will also increase greatly."

"In my opinion, the sons of countrymen and scholars are the best source of soldiers."

"Although the doctor's sons have better overall qualities, they are too few and have seen the world, so it is not easy to manage."

"The sons of common people and savages, although they have a large base, many of them have weak foundations and some physical problems. If you want them to become qualified soldiers, you have to train slowly and take a long time. As for geniuses, it is true. It has to be calculated separately, but there are too few geniuses."

"Only the sons of Chinese and scholars are the best source of soldiers. Even if Chinese and scholars no longer have land in Hanoi County, they still have [-] mu of land and [-] mu of guaranteed land. Ten stones are produced per mu. , It is also enough for them to ensure that their sons can learn martial arts, read and understand military discipline."

"They have good physical fitness, a solid foundation, and a good sense of obedience. To get them back to their hearts, it only costs them the exercises, and the exercises can be reused, and the cost is actually not high."

"So, in my opinion, it is not advisable to use exercises and blood essence to pay off debts. We are not the way of peace. What can be done in the way of peace, we really may not be able to do it!"

Taiping Dao pays attention to Huang Tian's will, and pays attention to bringing about peace.

Ordinary people can get daily necessities such as rice, eggs, firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. as long as they listen to the preacher's preaching every day, and life is not difficult.

As long as one can master the teachings of Taiping Dao proficiently and truly understand and even practice them, one can gain the approval of Huang Tian's will, become an official member of the Taiping Dao sect, and start learning characters and supernatural knowledge.At the same time, we also need to start preaching, and we need to practice it.

After becoming an alchemist, even a yellow scarf warrior can learn further exercises and extraordinary knowledge.

When one becomes a warlock, one is considered a yellow angel.

In Taipingdao, exercises are not uncommon.When your strength is reached, Taipingdao will provide it to you.

At this time, everyone on the Taiping Road can understand the exchange of exercises for money.The promotion method of Taiping Road is different from that of Hanoi County!
No matter how strong your strength is, if you don't recognize the philosophy of Taiping Dao, you won't be able to get the approval of Huang Tian's will, and you are not considered a disciple of Taiping Dao.

Thinking of this, Young Master Si continued to look at the others, wanting to hear if they had any good ideas.

After a while, Li Kui drew a map of Nest Country.

"This is Chaohe, one side is our Hanoi County, and the other side is Taiping County."

"Today, there are only a few counties in Taiping County. However, they have received 5000 billion yuan in this issue of bonds. When they have money, they will definitely continue to develop."

"And now we have almost developed the county, the land veins have been sorted out, the demons and ghosts have been cleaned up, and the disobedient nobles have disappeared."

"Through the political aristocrats, we actually still have a lot of money. If we really squeeze, the first bond can be repaid, but this will slow down the development speed."

"So, let's attack Nest Country!"

"There are still sixteen counties in Chao Country today!"

"Let's rob money, rob food, rob people."

"In order to prevent Yancheng from objecting, we should talk to Yancheng before doing anything, and [-]% of the money and food we robbed will be given to Yancheng."

"This can be regarded as our contribution to the unification of Yancheng."

"These sixteen counties are all heartlands, with a lot of nobles, and a lot of resources and money."

"Anyway, after we're done robbing, we'll definitely spend them in Yancheng. As long as we don't take them out of the nest country, it's not a big problem."

"The robbing of one county can last us at least ten or eight years. We must act quickly. If we can rob two counties, then we can stand against Taiping County for about 15 years."

"After 15 years, the minister has already become a real person. Brother Pang, your Xuan-level Taoist soldiers should also be trained?"

"That's for sure!"

"At that time, even if we bring the people and the army back to the Wei family, it won't be a loss, right?"

Young Master Si nodded without thinking: "How could it be a loss? It's not a loss at all!"
