Many people don't know.
In fact, money does not exist.
It's called currency.
Currency is issued backed by a country's creditworthiness. When the country is in good standing, the currency is money. When a country's credibility collapses, currency becomes waste paper.
The current Fu Han General's Mansion can barely be regarded as a small country. Theoretically, Wu Nian could issue currency, that is, print money.
But in practice, it may be difficult.
But there is one thing.
This is also a good idea.
Create something out of nothing.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked to the door, and told the guard guarding the door: "Go and invite Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao, and Gongsun Sang."
"yes."
The soldier bent down and responded, then immediately turned around and went down. But at this moment, Wu Nian saw Gongsun Sang walking towards here.
"Lord Gongsun." The soldier quickly stopped, bent down and saluted.
Gongsun Sang nodded lightly, then passed over the soldiers and came to Wu Nian. He bowed and saluted: "General. I have a way to collect money."
"Huh?" Wu Nian looked at him in surprise, then showed joy and said, "Come in and talk."
"Yes." Gongsun Sang responded.
So the two of them entered the room and sat down together.
"I was sending someone to discuss things with you and the three officials. I didn't expect you to come first. If you have any ideas, please tell me." Wu Nian looked at Gongsun Sang with admiration.
This young homeowner is really good at making money. He had just asked the three officials to delegate the matter to the officials, and Gongsun Sang had an idea.
Gongsun Sang immediately clasped his fists and said, "General. I thought we could set up a shipping department."
"Huh?!!!" Wu Nian raised his eyebrows with a slightly weird expression.
"General. But I made a mistake?" Gongsun Sang was originally very complacent, but when he saw Wu Nian's expression, his heart skipped a beat and he said cautiously.
"No. You are right, but someone said it first. I came here to discuss this matter with you." Wu young man shook his head lightly and said.
"Eh!!" Gongsun Sang was filled with frustration, he was defeated first, it's disgusting.
"Although you are a step slow, it proves that you are really thinking about this problem seriously. This is good." Wu Nian couldn't help but praise Gongsun Sang when he saw that he was hit.
"Thank you, General." Gongsun Sang suddenly showed joy and said with clasped fists.
Wu Nian couldn't help but laugh. He was talented and loyal, but he was a bit younger after all. There is no city.
After a while, Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Wang Youxiao walked in. After everyone was seated, Wu Nian explained everything about Shibo Division.
Everyone has no objection to the establishment of a shipping department.
But how to establish it is a problem.
After Liu Zhixing thought for a long time, he raised his head and said to Wu Nian: "General, re-measure the land and find out the hidden acres. The workload is already huge. Now that the Municipal Shipping Department has been established, there are not enough officials. Many officials have to be recruited."
"Besides, the Shibo Division is a bureaucracy. If one company is allowed to dominate, I'm afraid there will be problems sooner or later."
"We must let the officials dispatched by the household house and the local prefecture officials jointly manage it, and cooperate with Lieutenant Li of the Navy to maintain the operation of the Municipal Shipping Department and combat smuggling."
"We have to send the meritorious inspector there as a supervisor."
"In addition. With the size of Liaodong, it is enough to set up a shipping department."
Gongsun Sang nodded, raised his hands and said to Wu Nian: "General. Liu Changshi is right. Although the current officials can be trusted, the establishment of a yamen cannot only rely on the quality of officials, but also relies on systems to maintain order. Stop corruption.”
"Yeah." Wu Young nodded lightly. If an official is not corrupt, he cannot rely solely on his conscience, but must also rely on the system.
Shibosi is still a super oil and gas yamen.
It is good for the central and local governments to dispatch officials to jointly manage and supervise each other.
Shibosi is also a special yamen. It is not one, but can be countless.
For example, the size of Liaodong only needs one shipping company. Merchants landed in this city to conduct transactions.
But what about the size of Chu State? Important coastal ports have independent municipal shipping departments.
"Let's set up the Municipal Shipping Department in Jinghai County. Leave it to Lu Sheng, the prefect of Guangchuan Prefecture. From now on, maritime merchants from Liaodong going to sea, or foreign merchants coming in, must go through the Municipal Shipping Division in Jinghai County. Otherwise, all Considered smuggling.”
"It's the same as the salt and iron franchise. Anyone caught smuggling will be hanged."
"In addition. For various commodities, how to collect taxes and how to extract goods. You can discuss together and formulate rules and regulations."
After Wu Nian thought for a moment, he raised his head and said to everyone.
"yes."
Everyone clasped their fists in response, with solemn expressions on their brows. The workload is huge, and officials will be busy again.
Wu Nian is still the same as before. He comes up with ideas, grasps the general direction, and does the work, leaving the people below him to take full responsibility.
He is already familiar with how to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Whether it's re-surveying the land or setting up a municipal shipping department. These are all good things. But the results are too slow. I'm coming to see you today. The municipal shipping department is one thing. The remaining thing is to be able to quickly A way to make money.”
Next comes the highlight. Wu Nian's facial expressions and eyes are full of joyful smiles.
The pressure to make money suddenly disappeared.
happy.
"Huh?!" Everyone looked surprised, and then they all looked happy. No money, no money, no money.
This is a problem that has existed since the establishment of the Fu Han General's Mansion, no, since the beginning of the war against Mongolia in the year of Wu.
Make money quickly?
All the officials in the Han general's mansion were dreaming of ways to make money quickly.
Wu Nian is by no means a random person.
If he says it is, then it will be.
That's great.
"Please tell me, General." Liu Zhixing suppressed the joy in his heart, clasped his hands and said sincerely.
"This method is to borrow money."
"I want to borrow money from all the wealthy merchants and gentry in my three prefectures in Liaodong, as well as the merchants who travel between Liaodong and Chu, Goguryeo, and Fusang."
"I issue treasury bonds with the credibility of Wu Nian, my general who assisted the Han Dynasty, as a guarantee."
"Issue registered and unregistered treasury bonds."
"Private buying and selling of bearer treasury bonds is allowed. The issuance date is one year, and the annual interest rate is three percent."
"Registered treasury bonds have no interest and are not allowed to be bought and sold by private parties. They are specially issued to foreign businessmen who are friendly to us, except for Mongolians."
"Foreign businessmen who have held registered treasury bonds for more than five years can purchase houses and fields and obtain Liaodong household registration."
"If there is no national debt, then I'm sorry. Let foreign businessmen sell the properties in Liaodong."
"Both national debt."
"The denomination of the issue is at least five hundred taels."
"Each issued one hundred thousand taels."
"If it succeeds, we can make a fortune of 200,000 taels in a short period of time."
