Wu Nian had an enmity with General Toyotomi and withdrew his troops from Guangyang Mansion. Not only did it deceive external forces, it also had a huge impact.
Even the interior of Liaodong was affected.
Jiang County.
Fuhan General's Mansion, in the teahouse in the front yard. Chen Geng, an official in the household room, and Li Ting, an official in the military room who was familiar with each other, were sitting and drinking tea together.
If their official positions were placed in Chu State or Meng Yuan Dynasty, they would be high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
Now Wu Nian's power is still small, and their power is not as powerful as that of the senior officials of Chu and Meng Yuan. But the rights and responsibilities are the same.
Official positions support people. The two of them are quite imposing on weekdays. But now Chen Geng is drinking tea and feeling worried.
Chen Geng sighed, shook his head and said: "Although this is the general's decision, I still disagree. We cannot be enemies of Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, Chu, and Fusang at the same time. We have lost the tax revenue of the Shipping Department, silver ingots, and copper From the ingot transaction, our fiscal revenue will drop significantly."
As a household official, he naturally started from finance.
Li Ting was an officer in the barracks. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "What are you afraid of? We don't have any business in shipping, silver or copper ingots. Have you forgotten? When the general captured Guangchuan Prefecture, the sea was covered with fusang." There are so many pirates.”
"Where was the business between the Ichibo Division and the Kyogoku family at that time? It was the general who lured the pirates onto the land, massacred the pirates, built the Jingguan, and then built a navy, which slowly opened up maritime trade."
"Now all the previous efforts have been wasted. What does it matter? Besides, if there is a financial gap, then make up for it. When Huanglong Mansion is captured, won't everything come back? Huanglong Mansion is a piece of fat. The food produced is immeasurable. .”
"No more. If you keep talking, my mouth will start to water."
Li Ting was very tolerant and even made a joke.
"Huanglong Mansion has 90,000 warriors from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. How could it be so easy to capture?" Chen Geng shook his head with an expression of "I'm not optimistic about it."
He sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. When I drink tea on this weekday, it feels bitter in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste. I drank this tea today, but how could it still be sweet? It's all bitter water.
"You think too much. When the sky falls, there are generals who are holding it up. Back then, when we started with three hundred elite soldiers, didn't we also fight for a bright future? Now we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and our troops and horses are strong. Liu Changshi, Li Sima, The three great officials, Wang Gong and Cao, are in charge of photographing and assisting the generals of the Han Dynasty. There are many talents."
Having said this, Li Ting shook his head and couldn't help but hold his head high. Although he was not a military commander, he had been an official in the army for many years, so he was tainted with the atmosphere of a military commander and was quite heroic.
The entire Fu Han General's Mansion, as well as the government offices and county offices under it. The conversation between these two is a microcosm. Most people in charge of finance are worried.
Many people have great confidence in Wu Nian.
However, they also share common views. This time when Wu Nian returns from Guangyang Mansion, he will definitely sharpen his sword and attack Huanglong Mansion.
Will.
In which year did General Fu Han cease fighting and rest? And ah. Since the income from maritime trade has been lost, we can get it back from other places.
Attack Huanglong Mansion and obtain this fertile land. Wouldn’t it be able to supplement fiscal revenue?
However, although various strata in Liaodong have various differences and ideas, the entire society is still united.
Wu Nian has become a believer, and the decisions he makes are weighty.
and.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars. This military goal is also accepted by the entire Liaodong. For this goal, every stratum of society has exhausted its efforts.
How many farmers, frugally and frugally, invested the materials they saved into this large-scale military operation?
The force in Liaodong, under the pressure from all parties, has actually become a solid iron ball.
Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, Toyotomi, and Chu all looked down upon Wu Nian. They tried their best to crush him to death, but it was not that easy.
But it has to be said. Now that Wu Nian is the enemy of the whole world, looking from the outside in, he is indeed in a bit of a mess, as if he is a big ship that suddenly encounters a huge wind and wave, and there is a possibility of capsizing at any time.
Foreign businessmen holding registered treasury bonds became restless.
Things like national debt, to put it bluntly, are national credibility. The country is about to perish, so where can we have any credibility?
If you are not careful, this national debt will become useless paper.
Especially this registered treasury bond. Targeted at foreign businessmen. Welfare is a foreign businessman who can obtain Liaodong household registration, purchase land, and be protected by Wu Nian as long as he holds registered treasury bonds for more than five years.
Now General Toyotomi is going to block the sea. Maritime trade is about to disappear. What is the point of holding these national debts for businessmen of Chu, Fusang, and Goguryeo?
morning. In Jinghai City. In the study of the residence of Fuso merchant Hideji Yamakawa.
As the saying goes.
When in town, do as the Romans do.
In Fuso. Almost every room is covered with tatami mats for people to sit on their knees. But since this is Liaodong, the decoration of the room is to follow the local customs.
Yamakawa Hideji and two friends, Kobayakawa Jiro and Ryuzouji Junie, discussed the matter of registered national debt.
Although the maid came in and put down the tea cup, the three of them did not take a sip.
"It seems like yesterday that General Fu Han captured Guangyang Mansion. I was very happy at the time. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse. General Fu Han actually became an enemy of our general palace."
"I hold a registered treasury bond worth three thousand taels of silver. I'm going to exchange it for the silver now, but I don't know if I can succeed. If there are too many people running on it, the Fuhan General's Mansion doesn't have the silver. Or the Fuhan General's Mansion simply doesn't have the silver. , why don’t you recognize this registered national debt?”
"You know. Almost all the holders of this registered treasury bond are foreign businessmen. Now General Fuhan's government has no profits from maritime trade. It does not need to deal with foreign businessmen. General Fuhan has no need to recognize this registered treasury bond."
"Also. Even if I get the silver back, I still have to sell this house and the property outside the city. I'm afraid I won't be able to get a good price for a while."
Yamakawa Hideji held a folding fan in his right hand, opening and closing it again, feeling extremely anxious.
Kobayakawa Jiro and Ryuzoji Junie also sighed, feeling very anxious.
"It's true that people are fighting for money, and I am fighting for fish and meat. It's useless for us to think about it here. Why don't we unite with other businessmen and go to the Fuhan General's Mansion to discuss exchanging national debt for silver."
"I hope General Fuhan will show his credibility and return our silver to us."
Kobayakawa Jiro took a deep breath, with a look of determination on his face. The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is only natural to pay back debts.
The dignified general who assisted the Han Dynasty should not default on his debts, right?
Even if he wants to default on the debt, we still have to ask for it.
You can't just watch your silver go down the drain, right?
"Okay. Let's contact the manpower and go to contact General Fuhan's Mansion together." Yamakawa Hideji nodded.
"Hey." Ryuzoji Junjie sighed, and that was all he could do.
And they were not the only ones who took action. Most of the businessmen who held registered treasury bonds went to General Fuhan's Mansion in Jiang County after contacting each other.
The run began.
