Capital Datang

The title of Li Yin's article published this time is long and vulgar, and the title is "Issuing Land Bonds by the Court, Dozens of Nobles and Charitable Merchants Rush to Buy them". (Baidu search: Guli Novel.com, the fastest update when reading novels) You can tell from the title that this article mainly introduces the purchase of land coupons the day before yesterday, but in Li Yin's writing, the glorious image of each buyer is deliberately exaggerated.

If you only read this article, most people will probably be a little confused, because there is not much description of the land coupon in the article. They only know that it is the land of Gaochang Kingdom sold in advance, and nothing else.However, in the following article titled "Land Bonds and Confucian Merchants", it immediately answered the questions in the minds of all readers. It not only explained the reasons for issuing land bonds in detail, but also strongly praised the previous article. The noble character of everyone in the land coupon.

In addition, in the title and content of the article in Chapter 140, Li Yin's Ability to Hold Money, Li Yin also used the word "Confucian merchants" for the first time, praising several big businessmen such as Wang Zihao and Qian Gui for their efforts in the country's crisis. At this time, regardless of personal gains and losses, they took great risks to buy land coupons. Such a righteous act fits well with the loyalty to the emperor and patriotism advocated by Confucianism, and it is also in line with the way of Confucius and Mencius taught by the Master. Therefore, it can also be called "Confucianism". Identity can be called 'Confucian businessmen'.

As soon as these two articles came out, everyone no longer cared that they were written in vernacular. People who cared about state affairs discussed the crisis in the Western Regions, and at the same time felt extremely resentful at the arrogance of Western Turks and Gaochang; People are asking around, where can I buy land certificates?Because Li Yin promised in the newspaper that anyone who bought land coupons would not want the land in Gaochang after the war.The imperial court will return the original price, plus [-]% interest. That is to say, it is equivalent to the imperial court borrowing money from the people.

With the publication of newspapers and the spread of people, it took just one morning.The whole city of Chang'an is discussing the issue of land coupons.In addition, with the simultaneous publication of newspapers in other cities, centering on these cities, the imperial court issued the certificates of the 140th chapter of the land, Li Minhouqian, at an incredible speed.It soon spread throughout most of the territory of Datang.Capital Datang 144

Taking advantage of the upsurge in land coupons, Li Yin published an article again in the next issue of the newspaper.Point out that with the permission of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, the land certificates will be issued to all the subjects of the entire Tang Dynasty. However, the issuing agency of the land certificates is not the government offices in various places, but the Datang Bank established in several major cities.

As a kind of financial institution, banks are supposed to issue treasury bonds. Although the banking industry is still very weak, its business scope is very narrow, and its influence is negligible, but Li Yin knows that this industry future development prospects.Therefore, he decided to hand over the issue of land bonds to banks to promote the development of the banking industry.

As soon as this news was announced, the Datang Banks established in various big cities were immediately overwhelmed by the crowds.The purpose is to buy the land certificate earlier, and you can get [-] cents of interest for the same amount of money. Although it does not look high, it is a stable business without losing money. Anyway, copper coins are kept at home, so it is better to exchange them for Land coupons earn some interest.And Li Yin also promised.Regardless of the outcome of the war, the court will return the money to everyone, so there is no need to worry about the money being wasted if the Tang Dynasty succeeds or fails.

Of course, the above are the thoughts of ordinary people. Although there are many of them, the wealth in their hands is limited. The real main force to buy land coupons is the emerging business owners who have just developed.

Compared with ordinary people who only want to earn interest, the ideas of industrial and commercial owners are much more complicated.The Western Turks and Xichang sent troops to block the connection between Datang and the Western Regions, and also blocked the Silk Road that many businessmen depended on for their livelihood. In a short period of time, many people suffered heavy losses. As a result, the internal production of Datang The export of commodities was affected, countless industries and businesses related to the Silk Road were affected, and even the phenomenon of unsalable commodities occurred.

If the sales of a product are affected, all related industries will be affected. This is the so-called industrial chain, and it will affect the whole body.It is precisely because of this that nearly one-third of the merchants in Datang eagerly hope that Datang will re-open the connection with the Western Regions and restore the smooth flow of the Silk Road out of consideration of their own interests.

In this way of thinking, and knowing that the land coupons are a fundraising move made by the imperial court to attack the Western Regions, countless businessmen donate generously. No matter how stingy their opponents are, they will also show their generosity at this time. Take out the treasured property in exchange for land certificates, because it is related to their vital interests.

Of course, the reason why the merchants have such a high awareness is also related to the detailed explanations of various newspapers. Otherwise, with the current level of education and the overall situation of the merchants in Datang, I am afraid that half of them can buy land coupons. It is already a miracle. .

Unlike these business owners who were encouraged by the newspapers, most of whom were "forced" to buy land coupons, there was another group of business owners who were very proactive in buying land coupons. Some of the educated businessmen even bought land coupons He personally wrote articles and published them in newspapers to encourage the imperial court to launch a war against Xichang and even Western Turks from all aspects. These people are mainly businessmen closely related to the army, such as military horse dealers, weapons dealers, military clothing manufacturers, military food manufacturers, etc. .

Most of the products produced by these merchants are directly supplied to the army, and they also know that only in times of war will the army's demand for their products surge, especially weapons, clothes and other products that are most vulnerable to war damage. After a war, almost all the troops participating in the war have to be replaced several times, so that they can make a lot of money in the rear.

However, no matter what the purpose of people buying land coupons is, the purpose of Li Yin’s fundraising is finally answered. The 2000 million land coupons issued in the first phase were quickly sold out within a few days, and then another 1000 million land coupons had to be issued. However, he couldn't withstand the demands of the wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty. When Li Yin wanted to increase the distribution, Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, found him.

"Liulang, don't issue land certificates anymore, otherwise our household department may not be able to register in the future!" Tang Jian, who is nearly [-] years old, immediately sat down on a chair when he saw Li Yin, and called out with a bitter face. road.Tang Jian, an old man, likes delicious food the most. When Li Min was in Chang'an, he often visited his house as a guest, so the two can be regarded as forgetful friends, and they are very familiar with each other.

"Tang Shangshu is right. Although it is a good thing to have more money, the interest you give Liulang is too high. The 3000 million yuan is almost equivalent to the tax of the previous year. Counting the two percent interest, it is the last If you want to pay back 60 guan, the court will suffer a lot!" Fang Xuanling said in pain and joy.He never dreamed that Li Yin would be able to get 3000 million guan at once. Such a huge amount, not to mention the conquest of Gaochang, if it was all in war, it is estimated that even the Western Turks could be wiped out directly.

"Hehe, don't worry, you two, making money with money is the fastest way to make money, isn't it just an extra 60 yuan in interest, as long as you rest assured that you will hand over the money to the bank for operation, and when the war is over, it will be guaranteed to earn back for you !" Li Yin said nonchalantly, although he has never worked in a bank, and he doesn't know how profitable the banking industry is, but thinking about the wealth owned by those financial oligarchs in later generations, he used tens of millions to earn [-]% It should not be difficult to make a profit.

Hearing Li Yin's assurance, Tang Jian and Fang Xuanling were relieved. Now the whole court is convinced of the Qi king's ability to make money, and 3000 million coins can be obtained within a snap of his fingers, let alone It is said that it is only 60 guan.

But after relaxing, Tang Jian kindly reminded: "Liulang, it's a good thing for you to exchange Gaochang's land for 3000 million guan, but as far as I know, the land of the entire Gaochang country is probably not worth 1000 million guan." In other words, if you use one piece of goods and sell them for three pieces, if all the people who buy land certificates ask you for the land in the future, then I’m afraid you won’t end well?”

"Thank you, Uncle Tang, for your reminder! My nephew has already figured this out before. Among the people who buy national bonds, not many people really want Gaochang land. As for the land, it doesn’t matter if Gaochang doesn’t have enough land at that time, the territory of the Western Turks is very large, plus some places in the Western Regions, are you still afraid of the problem of not having enough land?”

Li Yin bowed and saluted with a smile. Tang Jian was more than 20 years older than Li Shimin. When Li Shimin was still the son of Taiyuan, the two were called brothers. Later, Tang Jian made countless contributions in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. , so he was highly valued by Li Shimin, so Li Yin called him uncle.

Although Li Yin spoke in a very gentle tone, with a gentle smile on his face, Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian felt a bit chill after hearing this, thinking that the King of Qi really deserves to be favored by everyone The prince, not only solved the financial crisis of the imperial court in a flash, but he was not satisfied with the victory of Gaochang. Even the Western Turks and the countries of the Western Regions have already been regarded as food on the plate. How can there be such a talented and heroic generation among the princes? Sure enough, it is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty.Capital Datang 144

There must be a limit to everything, Li Yin also knows this very well, 3000 million guan is already a lot, and the national treasury income of Zhinian Datang is a little more than this, plus Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian personally I found it, so Li Yin finally agreed, and the issuance of land certificates will be suspended, and the threat of Gaochang and Western Turks will be eliminated first.

Having achieved their goal, Fang Xuanling and the two were about to leave, but Tang Jian suddenly reminded again: "Liu Lang, this time you made 3000 million guan in one go, so of course the credit goes without saying, but the trouble you caused this time The "chaos" is not small. If it weren't for His Majesty who has been suppressing you for you, and many courtiers are biased towards you because of the 3000 million yuan, otherwise, even in your capacity, I am afraid this time it will be too late. It's not a good ending!" rq! ! !
