Chapter 429

Lu Feng also looked puzzled, thinking about how much the merchants in Yuzhang attached importance to bonds, his doubts became even stronger.It is undeniable that there are not many bonds left outside Yuzhang County, and most of them are coincidental.

But even so, those wealthy families and merchants in Yuzhang were like wolves who smelled blood, and tried every means to recycle them crazily.The surrounding counties were all at a loss, only a few merchants and wealthy families subconsciously withheld some of them.

I heard that the previous governor of Yangzhou and the prefect of Lujiang both made bonds, but no surprise these actions ended in failure, and told the world at a bloody price that this seemingly simple thing is actually full of danger.But Yuzhang County is an exception. Not only has it not been impacted by the surrounding inferior bonds, but it has become more valuable.

It's better to inquire about it, maybe you can get some insights.After all, the profound truth does not need words, it should moisten things silently.

"May I ask the shopkeeper if he knows what's going on in those shops' minds?"

"Why don't you know? After all, it's not a secret"

"Also ask the elders to enlighten me"

"Do you know that this move will greatly benefit my Yuzhang County? As soon as the bonds were released and the treasury was full, the prefect ordered the whole county to carry out large-scale construction projects. Ditches were dredged and roads were built, and commerce and agriculture flourished."

"I have heard a little bit about this matter, but that's all there is, I'm afraid it's not enough"

"That's because the guest officials don't know the magic of the membership system"

"magical effect?"

"The store sold me a bond of 100 yuan and waited for an extra 10 yuan. The 1 yuan will be embezzled by the store, and the monthly return of 1 yuan will be reduced every month. It is equivalent to an extra payment for the purchase of goods by the store. It must be known that the circulation of goods makes a profit. Is it just 100 yuan? And in order to boost confidence, the guest officer knows that the prefect’s government has decided to issue bonds and promise to give 2 yuan of interest for every [-] yuan after one year?"

"Is there still such a thing?"

Lu Feng couldn't help being taken aback, thinking quickly in his mind.

Lu Xun asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"Boy, I heard that the bonds have been issued for more than two years, and the one-year period should have passed long ago. But in Yuzhang County, why are there still bonds in circulation?"

"Because no one will give the bond to the prefect's house"

"Gao Yi, a commoner in Yuzhang County, admires him"

Lu Xun stood in awe, and said respectfully to the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

All the mistresses and the shopkeeper of the restaurant looked at each other, all of them dumbfounded.

"Gao Yi?"

"I heard that the total amount of bonds issued by the Yuzhang Prefect's Mansion is 102 gold. This is an unimaginably huge amount of money. If you repay [-] gold per [-] yuan, then the Yuzhang County Mansion will be unable to repay it. If there is no money, there will be wars everywhere.”

Lu Xun said solemnly, and Lu Feng nodded in agreement.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant and the other boys laughed at the same time, as if they had heard a great joke.

"It's not that I'm high righteous, but that I'm just as profit-seeking as that businessman."

"Profit-seeking?"

Lu Xun and Lu Feng looked at the man dressed as a mistress in puzzlement, and asked them.What does this have to do with chasing profit?Isn't the so-called bond a means for the government to collect money?In this way, the wealth of the whole county can be taken as their own, so that the treasury can be filled with soldiers and horses.

The man and his companions glanced at each other, and seeing the shopkeeper nodding again, he opened up the chatterbox in his heart.

"First, the membership system must have an unforgeable item as a certificate. Only those who hold bonds are eligible to pay membership fees and become members. In the words of Shen Chuan, the owner of the Shenchuan Chamber of Commerce, a unique thing must be used to show Chamber of Commerce members are different from ordinary people, and then do our best to serve members.”

"Secondly, the members pay the membership fee to the store, and the store organizes a caravan to travel around the world. It is only natural to give a little profit to the members."

"Third, the bond is real money, which is convenient to carry and can be exchanged at any bank opened by the Great Chamber of Commerce and the Yuzhang Prefect's Mansion and used as collateral to obtain money equivalent to the face value."

"Just the above three reasons are enough for me to hold the bonds firmly in my hands"

"It's a pity that the prefect is not in the Yuzhang County Mansion these years, otherwise more bonds will be issued, and Yuzhang will definitely benefit from it."

The man said with emotion, all the waiters and the shopkeeper of the restaurant all nodded, showing expressions of approval.One hundred thousand gold bonds are indeed quite a lot, but if it belongs to Yuzhang County with a population of several million, it seems to be a little less.The minimum number of bonds is doomed, and it cannot replace the dominance of money.

When Lu Xun heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but gasped. He didn't expect the bond to be so recognized in Yuzhang County.If a war is about to break out, as long as the prefect's government issues bonds, wouldn't it be possible to gather the financial resources of the entire county in an instant?Afterwards, using financial resources as a breakthrough point, they gathered manpower and material resources to launch a campaign against the outside world.

Once Yuzhang with a population of millions is mobilized, who in the whole world can resist it?Yuan Shu and Sun Ce?Or the so-called heroes and Dong Zhuo of Chang'an.Of course, this also has a price, if it is really done.Then the bonds of Yuzhang County will fall sharply, and the majesty of the government will no longer exist.

Is it just these things that matter?As long as you have soldiers in your hands, as long as you have power in your hands.The currency issued by the government is turned into waste paper, and it will not have much impact.

Thinking of this, countless thoughts appeared in Lu Xun's mind, his eyes were full of excitement, and he wished he could go to the Yuzhang Prefect's Mansion immediately to offer this strategy.Issuing bonds frantically recruited soldiers and horses, pushed all the heroes to point at Chang'an, and killed Dong Zhuo to rule the world.The corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, followed by a smirk.

Laughter interrupted everyone's conversation, the mistresses and the shopkeeper of the restaurant looked over.

The corner of Lu Feng's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xun'er, what are you laughing at?"

"If the prefect can issue bonds on a large scale, wouldn't it be able to gather a steady stream of financial, material and human resources? Once this is done, it will be easy to train millions of troops. Who can compete with him at that time?"

Lu Xun asked with pride, his eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light, Yuzhang would not be limited to this county.If this strategy can be carried out, it will surely form a situation where Mount Tai will overwhelm the top, and the army will move out to destroy the dead, and the world will be peaceful.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Lu Xun pulled Lu Feng's sleeve and said loudly.

"Let's go, let's go to the prefect's mansion. If the prefect comes back, I will offer advice."

"It would be great if the war could be ended"

After speaking, he quickened his pace a little, and the guards outside saw Lu Xun and Lu Feng quickly bowed and followed.Afterwards, a group of people went straight to the prefect's mansion, ignoring the surrounding prosperity.

Lu Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was wrong, so he could only speed up following the excited Lu Xun.
