Agriculture in Yancheng is no longer just agriculture.
Much of the money Yancheng invests in agriculture is not invested by Yancheng itself.
Most of the time, he goes to the bond exchange to make money. Just like these super rice crops in front of him, Jiang Hua can be sure that once they are released, they will be very popular.
Anyone who doesn't have a brain problem will know that feeding super rice to Xuan-level Taoist soldiers is far more effective than ordinary spiritual rice.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to export such good things to other countries, and exports are generally prohibited. However, Yancheng is different. In the impression of the world, Yancheng is a man of destiny who only cares about money.
Nowadays, many people have begun to admit that Jiang Hua is the destined son of the new era.
In their simple understanding, only the Son of Destiny can stir up the general trend of the world in just fifty years, and they can still live well.
However, in the eyes of many people, Jiang Hua is just a prodigal and rich second generation who does not know how to cherish his destiny and squanders his destiny wantonly.
In their eyes, Jiang Hua at this moment is a rich second generation who has lost his fortune in the name of starting a business.
When Jiang Hua's destiny is gone, others will eat up Yancheng.
This view is quite popular.
To directly oppose the Son of Destiny was because of something wrong with their brains, so they decided to wait until Jiang Hua's Destiny was no longer around, and when Jiang Hua's situation was over, they would carve up Yancheng in an instant and eat the biggest fat in Yancheng in one bite.
When Super Rice comes out, if Jiang Hua raises money on the bond exchange, he will definitely be able to raise enough money.
Even if the wealthy businessmen can't come up with the money, the princes will quietly give it away. Who told Yancheng that after research is done, what good things are often sold immediately?
The faster Yancheng conducts research, the princes will be the ones to benefit the most.
As for Yancheng, just keep making money.
Jiang Hua could guess pretty much what the princes were thinking without asking, but Jiang Hua didn't care. The more he thought about it, the happier Jiang Hua would be.
A prodigal is a prodigal. This image will help the princes of various countries feel at ease and help Yancheng do business in various countries, which is also quite good.
While Jiang Hua was observing Yancheng's agricultural development and various advanced agricultural technologies in Yancheng, Fu Chai came to Yancheng with a somewhat complicated expression and came to the vicinity of the bond exchange.
Fu Chai had very complicated feelings about Yancheng and Jiang Hua.
The first time I heard about Yancheng was in the first year of the Hundred Schools of Science, when the Hundred Schools of Thoughts journal was just released. At that time, Fu Chai only knew about Yancheng because of the Hundred Schools of Thoughts journal. At that time, Fu Chai didn't take too much fancy to Jiang Hua.
But later, uncle Xiang Liu was defeated by Jiang Hua.
From then on, Fu Chai began to study Jiang Hua seriously.
When Baijia was fifteen years old, the news came that Jiang Hua had made a breakthrough, and that he was a Xiantian and a first-generation monarch. At that time, Fu Chai had already regarded Jiang Hua as his future opponent.
In Fu Chai's view, when he becomes the Marquis of Wu in the future, Yancheng will definitely be a thorn in his side!
But when the country of Yue next door developed rapidly with the help of Yancheng.
When the income of the State of Yue went from hundreds of billions a year to several trillions a year, and now to hundreds of trillions a year, in just a few decades, the national power of the State of Yue soared many times. All the people can actually have enough to eat. Can you believe this?
Fifty years ago, even Fu Cha wouldn't believe it.
Later, Fu Chai also went to the Yue Kingdom for careful observation, and finally came to the conclusion: The reason why these common people can have enough to eat is not because the nobles have changed their gender. It is purely because the common people can earn more money after they have enough to eat. People who have enough to eat have greater utilization value, that's all.
Seeing the great changes in the Yue Kingdom, Fu Chai remembered the changes in the Wu Kingdom over the past ten thousand years.
It is said that 10,000 years ago, before Wu Zixu came to the State of Wu, the State of Wu at that time was just like the State of Yue fifty years ago, barbaric and backward. The State of Wu at that time also had a large territory, a small population, and a low level of development.
Over the past ten thousand years, the development level of Wu State has undergone qualitative changes. Although it cannot be compared with the princes of the Central Plains, the places that are easy to develop have basically been developed.
The income of Wu State has also increased from hundreds of billions ten thousand years ago to several trillions fifty years ago.
Later, after seeing the Yue State issuing bonds in Yancheng, the Wu State also tried to issue bonds in Yancheng: Why can something like Goujian develop, but I, the great Wu, cannot issue bonds?
Adhering to this idea, Wu Guo also went to the bond exchange to issue bonds.
At the beginning, the bonds issued by Wu State were relatively small, only tens of billions, and everyone actively subscribed.
Slowly, Wu State issued more and more bonds.
How the Yue State developed, Wu State should imitate it. This is not difficult.
The State of Yue issued bonds based on the land of the future Great Plains, and the State of Wu used the land obtained after the leveling of such-and-such jungles and such-and-such mountains as collateral.
Moreover, Wu State also began to move mountains and sell them to Yancheng.
Wu State also began to develop mines and sell them to Yancheng.
After all this hard work, by the time Baijia was fifty years old, Wu's income had soared from several trillions to tens of trillions today.
Even the legendary three clans of Han, Zhao, and Wei, their current income is not as good as that of Wu and Yue.
Thinking of this, Fu Chai looked at the bond exchange in front of him with greed in his eyes. Later, he will raise money here, and all the money raised this time will be used for the next war against Chu.
Originally, when Xu State was destroyed in Baijia's fifteenth year, Wu Zixu's plan increased for more than a hundred counties after Wu Zixu's plan was revised for a few years. In Baijia's twentieth year, he sent troops to attack Chu. At the beginning, the plan was made. But I never expected that in the next five years, Yue would make great progress.
Then, Wu State tried to issue bonds.
Soon, Wu State tasted the benefits of issuing bonds.
Afterwards, Wu State continued to issue bonds and developed.
Keep developing and keep issuing bonds.
Today, Wu State has also embarked on a path of developing itself with the help of money from wealthy businessmen and nobles.
After thirty years of rapid development, today, the opposition within the Wu Kingdom have long been dazzled by Helu's money, and they have all become Helu's confidants, which can be regarded as strengthening the centralization of power in disguise.
Today, Wu Zixu feels that he can't wait any longer. If he waits any longer, he will become Wentian and Wuxi. Too much money is not good!
That's why Fu Chai acted today.
Fu Cha was a little indifferent to Wu Zixu's worries, and then said to Bo Pu on the side: "From Gu's point of view, he just thinks too much. What's wrong with being rich? Do you have to live a poor life like in the past to be happy?"
"Just like now, if I have money, I can buy heaven-level journals to read and study, I can ask a gentleman who specializes in a certain Taoism to give me lectures, I can even buy a large number of elixirs. Even though I am only fifty Years ago, but today, fifty years later, Gu's strength has increased by at least 70% compared to fifty years ago."
"If I were given another fifty years, I would definitely be able to make even greater progress."
"These are all the benefits that money brings."
"I don't understand, Gu. Everyone has money. They can continue to learn various Taoist methods and magical powers, and their strength continues to grow. Aren't these the benefits of money?"
"There are also various Taoist soldiers in the country. Even Lian Gu keeps trying and making mistakes because he has money. Now Lian Gu has trained a Xuan-level Taoist soldier. Isn't this the benefit of having money? If not Now that Wu State is rich, the opportunity to train Xuan-level Taoist soldiers will definitely not be Gu's turn."
Hearing this, Bo Pu on the side nodded in agreement. When Fu Cha finished speaking, Bo Pu said: "Mr. Wu also had his own considerations. If the whole country of Wu develops rapidly, when can we attack Chu? In the future , will everyone only have money in mind, and no matter what they do, they will think about whether it is worth it or whether it will make money?"
"However, many problems cannot be measured purely in terms of money."
"For example, some counties in Dawu have industries and minerals, which are very profitable, but some counties have no industries and the roads are difficult to travel. But don't we want those counties without industries? Of course not, Money is indeed useful, but in many places money alone is useless.”
Can strategic value be measured in money?
Could it be that because there are many monsters around a certain county, the annual output is far less than the input, and it is a big black hole financially, so we should simply abandon this county?
Even Hunjun rarely thinks this way.
There is not an inch of land that is redundant. It was all developed through hard work by our ancestors.
"So, Mr. Wu is doing this for the sake of the country and long-term considerations."
"Hmph, from Gu's point of view, he is doing this just for himself and for revenge!"
"He was originally from a noble family in the Chu State. The Wu family had a first-rate status in the Chu State. However, the king of Chu directly killed the nine clans. He is always thinking about revenge!"
Bo Chu was very happy in his heart, but on the surface he still persuaded Fu Chai seriously: "Young master, what you said is a bit too much. Mr. Wu's contribution to the state of Wu is known to everyone. No matter what the original intention is, the state of Wu is still worried because of Mr. Wu's death." It is an indisputable fact that China has benefited from reforms and become stronger.”
snort!
Fu Cha snorted coldly and stopped talking. As for what he was thinking, he didn't tell Bo Pi and didn't ask.
After a while, the two entered the bond exchange. Fu Chai stood on the stage, looking at the group of people in the audience, and he was even more excited.
Among the group of people in front of me, there are many billionaires, and there are also many with trillions in assets. There are even envoys from various countries. As long as they are persuaded, Wu can borrow a large sum of money.
At this moment, Fu Chai also felt that although Wu Zixu had a bad temper and did not give him face, he was really capable.
"Gentlemen, I am the prince of Wuhou, Fu Chai."
"The purpose of inviting you to come here today is mainly to borrow money. This time, the borrowed money will be used for war, and the target of the war is Chu State!"
Hearing this, the envoys of the Zhi clan and the envoys of the Han, Zhao and Wei clans all nodded.
Jin State strongly supported Wu State, wasn't it just for this day?
With the state of Wu, the state of Chu would not be able to fight for the Central Plains with all its strength. Otherwise, if the main force is sent out from the front, Wu will steal the home from behind.
The state of Wu was like a nail nailed into the flank of the state of Chu. As long as Wu State still exists, Chu State will not be able to go all out to compete in the Central Plains, and its power will be dispersed.
Therefore, Chu State learned from Jin State and strongly supported Yue State behind Wu State, allowing Yue State to steal Wu State's ass.
Everyone else also opened their eyes wide, waiting for Fu Chai's next words. All of them were watching the excitement and did not think it was a big deal, but the envoy from Chu State stood up directly, pointed at Fu Chai's nose and said: "Fu Chai, are you awake?"
Fucha snorted coldly, and the momentum of the first-generation monarch was released without reservation. This shock made the envoy of the Chu Kingdom retract his fingers, but silently took out the magic weapon and began to communicate with the rear.
Seeing this, Fu Chai didn't take it seriously: "The state of Chu is a barbarian, but we, the state of Wu, are relatives of the emperor, and the Ji family is a noble."
Hearing this, the Chu envoy was completely speechless.
Do you really think of yourself as a member of the Ji family?
Are you worthy?
"..."
After talking about the righteousness and reasons for declaring war for a while, Fucha changed the topic: "However, war costs a lot, and everything requires money."
"So, this trip happened."
“The purpose of this trip is to raise money!”
"The more money raised, the more troops Da Wu will dispatch."
"If Da Wu wins by then, these bonds will be repaid three times. If Da Wu fails, these bonds will only be repaid 30%."
"Then how much money do you plan to raise? Do you have a certain amount? When will we send out troops?"
Hearing this, Fu Chai didn't care who asked, and said directly: "This time we plan to raise three trillion yuan for the first phase of war bonds."
"With these three trillion yuan, Wu will mobilize all its naval forces to compete with Chu along the Yangtze River and nearby rivers."
"Mr. Wu once said that water warfare is about big ships defeating small ships, and more people defeat fewer people. Although the Chu State is large, its naval power is limited. Although the Wu State is small, it is dedicated to developing its navy."
"Now when it comes to navy alone, I, Wu, am the best in the world!"
"Then what if we raise 10 trillion yuan for you?" Bo Pu changed his body shape and then asked.
"If there are 10 trillion, then Wu will build a permanent water fortress near the Yangtze River and rely on the water fortress to confront Chu for a long time."
In an instant, a group of messengers were constantly simulating and deducing in their hearts.
In other distant countries, the princes also gathered their senior officials and began to deduce the situation of the confrontation between the navies of Wu and Chu.
As for Wu State directly annihilating Chu State, at least at this moment, no one would think so.
Even the most optimistic person can think of a scenario where Wu will win first and then lose. He will win a big victory first, and then be held back by Chu using his huge territory, and finally drag Wu to death.
However, now that there is a bond exchange, it is possible to inject blood to Wu by purchasing bonds.
"As long as Da Wu captures the land of Chu State, those who have purchased bonds can immediately go to the area. You can move away the common people and savages inside, or you can use Taoism to dig out the minerals in the area, or even take them away. Local ground veins and water eyes will do..."
Hearing this, the Chu State envoy's nose was almost crooked with anger!
Who are the barbarians?
