Lu Buwei's matter is very simple. It mainly involves two things. The first thing is the issuance of dam construction bonds.
Yancheng can also do it by building dikes on its own. But why spend all your own money when you have a bond exchange. The matter was actually not that big. The main thing was that the debt was going to be issued in two days, so Lu Buwei came over in advance to talk about it.
The second thing is the main reason why Lu Buwei came today: "Master, many private individuals have expressed the hope that their projects can be used to make money on the bond exchange. They all say that their projects are very good and have a high success rate. At present, they are just short of Start-up funds have been obtained. Some project ministers have also personally seen it. At first glance, there is still hope for success. As for taking a closer look, there is currently insufficient manpower to study it..."
Jiang Hua nodded from time to time: "Let's wait a few more years. The thing itself is good, but let's wait a few more years until the world gradually gets used to the fact that the bond exchange's projects have successes and failures, and that they can make money and be used by others." After cutting the leeks, we will slowly open up the door to private projects.”
"These private projects are bound to be mixed. There will definitely be people who make a lot of money on private projects, but there will also be people who will lose money on private projects."
"Moreover, if there is no review and restriction, what if someone runs away after collecting the money?"
"First draw a big pie, and then circle billions or tens of billions of money on the exchange. Once the money is received, he will run away immediately. Even after the money is received, the person who registered the project may be directly silenced, and then the money It’s gone, what should I do?”
"Privately registered projects can also make money. Theoretically speaking, this may be a trend in the future. But now, we are unable to effectively supervise and review private projects, in case private projects become money fraud and money making. Where big scammers gather, it affects the overall reputation of our bond exchange."
"So, in the next period of time, the various projects will still be mainly focused on the academic wine ceremony, the projects of various county magistrates, and the county governors. Occasionally, we will undertake some projects of cooperative countries, such as Yue..."
…
"Father, do you think this dam is reliable?" Zhang Mao asked directly while looking at the bond trading report in his hand.
As the young master of the Zhang family, one of the four great Qing clans in the Chao Kingdom, Zhang Mao thought he was well-informed, but spending two trillion yuan to build such a dam still made Zhang Mao's head freeze. Within a few breaths, he fell into a state of confusion.
Two trillion, how much is that?
In today's Yancheng, you can buy some of the most useless magic weapons for one billion. For ten billion, you can choose most of the best magic weapons. You can even customize them personally. You pay half of the deposit first. After the customization is completed, the acceptance is also required. Once you are satisfied, pay the remaining balance.
This is only 10 billion dollars!
The construction of these two dams will cost two trillion yuan, and one dam will cost one trillion yuan on average. With so much money, Xuanjia can buy hundreds of thousands of sets.
If the four southern counties in the past had hundreds of thousands of sets of black armor, they would have been able to equal the monsters and monsters in the forest. Now maybe they are all the eight or twelve southern counties!
So much money is just to build two dams. Does Yancheng have too much money to spend?
After patting his head, Zhang Mao had an idea and came up with a guess: "Father, do you think this is Yancheng trying to make money? These counties in the south, north, and west have been occupied by Yancheng for three years. Much more. Over such a long period of time, many local nobles have been relocated, and many local people have also been relocated to newly developed counties. They live in large houses with three entrances and three exits, and their children can be sent to junior high schools. Study in the palace."
"Now, although it has only been more than three years, the people's hearts in the four southern counties, the six northern counties, and the seven western counties have indeed surrendered. The common people and the small and medium-sized nobles have complete trust in Yancheng. Therefore, to this day, There is no need for us officials and ministers anymore.”
"And this bond is a choice for us."
"How much of this bond you want to buy is a matter of ability. Whether you want to buy it or not is a matter of attitude!"
"Are you trying to force us to drain our wealth? But even if we sell everything, we still won't be able to raise two trillion yuan!"
With a snap, Zhang Mao was hit, and then he looked at his father unconvinced.
Zhang Ting sighed and said: "There are some things that can be done but cannot be said, and there are some things that can be said but cannot be done."
"Whether Yancheng means this or not, you shouldn't say that. Without a sense of awe, is this okay?"
"Look at the twenty-six counties in the center of the Chao River. They were the real essence of the past Chao Kingdom. Each county has a population of more than one million. Each county has at least one kind of inheritance at the level of ministers and officials. There are more. Moreover, they have been doing business with Yancheng in the past few years and have also purchased a lot of mysterious armor and magic weapons."
"However, they were still easily robbed by the ten nobles."
"Did they not try to resist? No, there were many nobles in every county who resisted to the end."
"Is it because they haven't made progress? No, their strength is much stronger than before the Dao Extermination Order was issued."
"It's just that their progress is still too slow. Each of the ten noble families has more than one minister and Taoist priest. Each family can easily produce several yellow-level Taoist soldiers and even several nobles. They may have obtained Lingbao's approval, but with such a gap in strength, what can they do to resist?"
"Let me ask you, how does our Zhang family's current power compare with those counties in the heart of the Chao Kingdom?"
"If it was in the past, it might be about the same. If it's now, it's still about the same."
In the past, Chaonan County was the territory of the Zhang family, but at that time, although the Zhang family had trained an elite army by fighting against demons and monsters, and its own yellow-level Taoist soldiers could maintain combat effectiveness all year round, the population was small and the magic weapons were relatively small. Few, not much background.
At that time, the counties in the heartland had a large population, many officials, and more than one family had ministers.
In normal times, there is no mountain or water leakage. But when it comes to desperate measures, it's not that difficult to create a ferocious beast at the level of a minister.
Therefore, in the past tense, both sides are almost the same.
Nowadays, Chaonan County has become the territory of Yancheng, but because the Zhang family completely handed over the fiefdom of the county, it gained a real-person level inheritance.
Regarding this transaction, Zhang Ting has no objection to this transaction, and neither does Zhang Mao.
This kind of inheritance at the real person level was only available to Uncle Chao's lineage in the past, and no one else had seen it before!
Now, although the Zhang family has lost their fiefdom, so many tenants, and the Huang-level Taoist soldiers they worked so hard to train, they have gained a real-person level inheritance and the best magic weapon. In the future, Zhang only needs to continue to understand this real person level inheritance, and he will naturally be able to simplify one set of Taoist level inheritance from it.
When the Zhang family completely establishes a inheritance system from alchemists to real people, the Zhang family will also completely transform into a large-scale immortal cultivating family.
Nowadays, Zhang Ting holds several top-quality magic weapons, and it is not difficult to contain an entire county by himself.
Therefore, today's Zhang family is also 50-50 different from a county in the heart of Chao Kingdom in the past.
"Our Zhang family is about the same as them, but these counties were crushed by the partial armies of the ten nobles. They fell without even sending out the main force."
"Then do you think our Zhang family can defeat the top ten nobles?"
"Can't beat it!"
"Then do you know that 50% of the population robbed by the ten nobles were directly given to Yancheng, and many of the remaining treasures were purchased in Yancheng for various products?"
"The top ten nobles are no match for Yancheng!"
"At this time, if Yancheng wants to deal with our Zhang family, there is no need to take action personally. Just reveal this idea and our Zhang family will be gone. Facing such a powerful Yancheng, how can you dare to speak rudely? How can you Dare you have no fear?"
At this point, he slapped him again. This time, Zhang Mao could only nod honestly.
"It's really my child's fault. In the past few years, I have read the Yancheng official newspaper every day and often watched the Yancheng news projection every night. I actually subconsciously feel that Yancheng is benevolent..."
Zhang Ting sighed: "It's true that Yancheng is benevolent, and it's true that Yancheng is strong. There is no conflict between the two."
"This time, the two trillion yuan is issued in the name of Junfu. They are all five-year-term, with an interest rate of ten points. They will definitely be sold out, and they will definitely be very popular."
"This is safety!"
"We, the Zhang family, are also going to make a big purchase. If we can, we can buy it for 10 billion yuan in one go!"
"If you don't have enough money, you can find the corpse of a demon king from the family treasury and sell it to make up for it..."
"But father, the corpse of the Demon King is one end short..."
"Now that we have obtained the inheritance at the real person level, we will transform from now on. Although blood essence is important, it is not as important as before. This inheritance at the real person level is the most important. Do you understand?"
As his father narrated, Zhang Mao nodded slowly.
"As for whether spending two trillion yuan to build two dams is worth it, my father can tell you now: it is worth it!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ting took out the Yancheng official newspaper published last month: "Look at the news above. Wu State sent troops to Xu State. There is also our Yancheng analysis above, saying that Mr. Changqing is suspected of training. Prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, this time we are using Xu State to test the power of low-level Taoist soldiers."
"Mr. Changqing is a powerful man second only to the Three Saints. This time he has trained earth-level Taoist soldiers. Who can stop this power?"
"Xu Guo can't stop it, and Yancheng can't stop it either!"
"However, Yancheng is not made up of mud. If Wu State really attacks Xu State, who knows whether the Lord will communicate with King Dayu again and rely on King Dayu's power again? It's just Xiang Liu and Wu Hou who are calculating in front of King Dayu What did it mean? It was just an axe."
"This is like fighting a wolf with a stick. The state of Wu is afraid that the master will die, so he summons the power of King Yu again. We in Yancheng are also afraid that the state of Wu will suddenly turn around and not attack the state of Xu to attack us, so we simply Wouldn’t Wu Guo be relieved by wasting money to build the so-called cross-sea dam?”
"Wu Guo is relieved, and can devote more efforts to conquer Xu Guo. After the conquest of Xu Guo is completed, we Yancheng can continue to reclaim the sea and build land, and continue to waste money. When the time comes, Wu Guo will see how smart we are in Yancheng. , aren’t you going to attack Chu?”
"Look, what is great wisdom? This is called great wisdom! This is called vision!"
“By spending some unjust money, it will directly change Yancheng’s strategic situation for decades or even centuries to come.”
"What's more, who can say that the money must be wasted money? Once the technology of reclamation and land reclamation matures, the prospects are very broad, right?"
"That's killing three birds with one stone!"
