Can you live forever

Chapter 90 The issuance of treasury bonds, Xun Gui bets
When Zhang Zhixiang appeared in front of Chengtian Gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he became nervous again, and countless people looked at him expectantly, hoping to hear the answer they wanted.

In this regard, Zhang Zhixiang stood on the carriage and announced loudly: "It has been negotiated, and the banknotes can be exchanged tomorrow!"

After a brief silence, there was a tsunami of cheers.

The excited crowd lifted Zhang Zhixiang, threw it high, and shouted his name loudly. Zhang Zhixiang was thrown higher and higher. Looking at the imperial city and everyone in the air, he felt a kind of sincere tranquility.

He stretched his body to his heart's content and closed his eyes.

Enjoy the cheers and joy.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Yonghuan showed the relief of his elders. What he valued was not Zhang Zhixiang's strategy and methods in this round, but his state of mind at this moment.

He knew that the little uncle was one step closer to the Dao.

Da Fangfeng's eyes were full of admiration and envy. Probably, only Daming would have such sages. One day, there will be such sages among the people of Yindi'an, and their civilization will truly take root.

Wang Yuanzhi took a puff of cigarette, and praised: "Mr. Yangming's true instruction."

Wang Jiangque murmured, "It's not enough."

Wang Yuanzhi was surprised: "Is this not enough?"

Wang Jiangque said seriously: "If you want to change the world, reorganize the mountains and rivers, overcome the calamity of civilization, and establish a foundation against all transformations, it is naturally not enough."

Wang Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows: "The ancient sage king must be alive."

Wang Jiangque said softly: "But I think there is a holy king standing behind him."

……

The next day, it was still on Qianbu Street.

The Ministry of Households has set up many stalls, and people who have banknotes in their hands can exchange them. After comparison and verification, after confirming that there is no fraud and conforming to the account books, they can receive silver.

In front of Chengtian Gate, a mountain of silver was piled up high.

It looks like a lot, but it’s actually only a million taels.

The impact of cash is always huge. Seeing the silver mountain, the common people feel at ease instantly, and they are all beaming. The discerning businessman can naturally see how much silver it is.

But it's okay.

The imperial court read out the constitution of the "national debt" in public, and the specific details will be clearly published on the bulletin board of Yingtianfu Yamen. The household department has also signed contracts with several large banks, so the exchange of national bonds has just started here. Merchants over there have already started buying.

Again.

There are no banks these days, and banks need depositors to pay storage fees to save money, which is a loss of money.

Financial management is a necessity to some extent.

这次国债，一年期的年化率是2分（2%），三年期的年化率是3分（3%），五年期的年化率是3分5厘（3.5%），十年期的年化率是4分（4%）。

In the contracts signed between the imperial court and several major banks, the collateral is Yanyin.

For every 300 catties of salt imported, the public price is six taels of money and four cents of silver.

If 300 catties of salt were resold in Nanjing, it would cost at least 9 taels of silver, let alone transported to other places for distribution.

In this way, those banks are naturally happy to get more than 50% of the profits out of thin air, and even hope that the court will default and pay the national debt with salt.

When national debt begins to circulate, it becomes currency to some extent.

The market began to compete to buy treasury bonds.

Customers who buy goods or go to restaurants to pay with treasury bonds will not be rejected, but will get preferential treatment from merchants. Bulk commodity trade is more inclined to pay with treasury bonds.

For a time, business flourished.

After wandering around for a day, Xu Pengju went to Guiyuan to visit. He took a gift box in his hand, and when he saw Zhang Zhixiang, he laughed and handed the gift box over, saying: "A mere Hetian jade is not a respect, but I hope to accept it. "

"Why is Wei Guogong?" Zhang Zhixiang was puzzled.

Xu Pengju took out a 1 taels of national debt roll and said with a smile: "I didn't tell the little celestial master earlier that my old Xu also deposited silver in Datong Bank, and the little celestial master helped me recover the loss of 1 taels."

He traded ten-year treasury bonds.

The dignified Duke Wei is naturally not afraid of the imperial court's repudiation, and even wished that the imperial court would breach the contract.

"It's a good piece of jade, accept it."

Zhang Yonghuan glanced at the jade bi and said: "Jade is the flesh of the gods. Among all jades, Hetian jade is the only one that has spirits. Wearing it for a long time can prevent disasters. Duke Wei sent this jade bi with a heart."

Although Zhang Zhixiang helped Xu Pengju recover the loss of 1 taels, this piece of jade is not cheap, at least a few thousand taels.

And it is an elegant thing that people in the practice can use.

Folks often have old ladies fall down, people are fine, but the jade bracelet is broken, that is, the jade that has been raised for a lifetime has blocked the disaster at a critical moment.

Hearing that it could prevent the disaster, Zhang Zhixiang accepted it.

Turning around, he hung the jade bib around Yushui's neck, and said with a smile, "Wear it well, it can prevent disasters in the future."

Yushui refused: "No way, young master, the jade bi should be given to the old lady."

"Anyway, you haven't come home yet, so you take it with you first."

"Oh……"

Yu Shui carefully held the jade bi, full of joy, while Wang Cuiqiao, who was standing by, saw this scene with a gloomy look in her eyes, which was the care and happiness she never had.

Xu Pengju glanced at Wang Cuiqiao and asked, "Do you really want to take Wang Cuiqiao in?"

Zhang Zhixiang said: "I can only take her in, right? Although I know that Xu Qingshe intends to arrange her as a pawn, but after all, she is a miserable person. If she is not taken in, she will have nowhere to go."

Xu Pengju hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Then you should be careful, some nobles have already started planning to rob people."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded, not paying much attention.

Anyway, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch all over the body, so it's not bad for someone like this to deal with him.

Several people sat down to drink tea and discuss in detail, Xu Pengju said: "Duke Huai will arrive at Yingtian Mansion tomorrow, when are you going to leave?"

"almost."

Xu Peng raised his head and asked the people behind him to come over, pointing to the burly man and said: "Xu Ding, you can be regarded as my family general, since you intend to take Deng Wengu away, my Xu family still has to show for His Majesty. "

"I have prepared three hundred family members, and you will take them with you when you leave."

"Just tell Xu Ding what to do."

"Xu Ding has worked hard in Jiubian for 20 years and served as a battalion commander. It is not difficult to command [-] troops. There are no professional generals in your team. If you have any questions, you can ask him. He knows everything."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded, knowing that Xu Pengju had intentions.

The gift was delivered, and so was the person. Xu Pengju chatted for a while and then left. When saying goodbye, Xu Pengju patted Zhang Zhixiang on the shoulder and said very seriously: "We must survive."

"Will do."

Xu Pengju strode into the carriage and left.

Zhang Zhixiang understands how much Xu Pengju bet this time. 300 people may not seem like many, but the important thing is their attitude. Most of the nobles have been domesticated and become vassals of the civil official group, just to keep their wealth.

And Xu Pengju bet his treasure on them, on Jiajing.

If you lose.

The Xu family is afraid that one person must die to calm down... The one who died must naturally be Wei Guogong.
