Bring home the national male god of the fast-passing system

Chapter 671 The Son of a Thousand Gold (30)

The state asks the people to borrow money, which has never happened since ancient times.

Not only borrowing money, but also paying interest, is an anecdote through the ages.

The imperial court, the folks, the streets, and the alleys started talking about it.

"I heard that the regent wants to borrow money from the people? Is the treasury so empty?"

"The regent assisted the new emperor to ascend the throne, and quelled civil strife one after another. Even if the former emperor was in power, the treasury would still be empty."

"Then borrow it or not?"

"Ten taels of silver, but the annual income of ordinary people, say more or less, the interest given by the regent is only one tael, and the treasury is empty, how to cash the interest?"

"That's right, I'm afraid it's just a different way to collect taxes!"

"It's reasonable. If I don't buy the Lao Shizi national debt, I can live a good life for a few years. I'm afraid that after I buy it, I will worry about it day and night and won't be able to sleep all night."

"Who says it's not the case? We're a small business. Where can we get the money to support the court in the war?"

"That's right, anyway, the imperial court belongs to the emperor, so what has it to do with us people!"

"In this country, the surname is Jiang, it doesn't matter who will be the emperor?"

"That's wrong. If we don't pay, how can we fight? The Wushui Kingdom really came in, and it's not us who are suffering."

"Short-sighted, how can you come home without a country? If the country is destroyed, the family will perish. Have you all forgotten the scene of the previous civil strife?"

"That's right, I still trust the Prince Regent. In the previous poetry competition, I wrote about the faults of the abolished prince Jiang Xinwei. The Prince Regent said that as long as I wrote it, I would get paid for it. That time, you all received the money. It can be seen that the Prince Regent is not happy." will not believe what they say.”

"It's okay to buy, but buy less. It's good to get it with interest, and you won't lose much if you get it without interest. At worst, just treat the money as a waste of money!"

"Exactly!"

"Exactly!"

Such thoughts can be heard all over the Yu State, and the expressed concerns are similar.

Reflected in the accounts, it is the day when the national debt is issued, and there are few people.

High-ranking officials and nobles, there are not many people who come to buy from the wealthy Hou family, and even if they come to buy, it is only two or three hundred taels, four or five hundred taels of silver to make up the amount, so as not to be unreasonable in front of the regent.

Silver taels from all over the country came to the imperial court, and the whole country collected only 20 taels of silver.

Linghu Lan couldn't help laughing as she looked at the accounts handed over by the household department.

These silver taels seem to be a lot, but in fact they are only enough to pay 20 soldiers and horses for a month. There is not even enough money to buy food and transport weapons. How can we fight?
Although it has long been expected that there will be fewer, but it has never been thought that there will be so few. It seems that it must be hard.

The official of the household department is a loyal and brave minister who took the lead in buying 1 taels of silver. She said with emotion:
"To Your Majesty, to the Regent, on the day when the national debt was issued, I received the largest amount of silver taels. It was an old man who spent 500 taels of his life savings to buy the national debt. The rest of the people were just watching the fun. It seems that the world is confused There are a lot of people."

Linghu Lan nodded, and said: "In the name of the imperial court, I will give the old man a plaque with the words "loyalty and courage to serve the country". In addition, I will give 500 taels of silver, and the bond will still belong to him. After three years, the principal will be repaid with interest." give him!"

"I obey!" The household official responded with a solemn voice.

Another official said: "To the Regent, the issuance of national debt is not good now, where does the money for this war come from?"

Linghu Lan smiled.

"Since you can't borrow it, then ransack the house!"

The official of the household department trembled in his heart, and secretly sighed, what was supposed to come has finally come.

"Yes!"
