Age of mythical princes

Chapter 232 Your Money Is My Money
Looking at the small island in the distance, and then at the shore further away, Quwu let out a long sigh of relief.

This was the first thing he did after he became a Taoist priest, so he had to handle it properly.

Around the Chinese New Year last year, Qu Wu and Feng Yi left the customs successively, and they were Taoist priests when they left the customs.

These days, if you are not a Taoist priest or a minister, you are ashamed to be a high-ranking official in Yancheng.Now, he has finally become a Taoist priest, so naturally he has to do things beautifully.

In addition to the official fleet, the remaining half of the fleet are all private.

Qu Wu knew that it would not be long before Yueguo would sell at least one trillion yuan worth of development bonds on the Yancheng Bond Exchange.These bonds may be used to build roads, and may be used to purchase large-scale storage instruments, which are specially used to guarantee the corpses of little demons and ordinary goblins. Don't work so hard to kill demons and ghosts, but in the end they are worth a lot because of improper preservation. Save one, it would be too bad.

In order to make the Yue Kingdom famous, Qu Wu specially invited many private fleets in addition to the official fleet.

Some of these private fleets are medium-sized families like Donghai 170, and some are major avenues on the territory of Yancheng, such as the Plum Blossom Road where Taoist Qingmei is located. Gen, there are also representatives of the rich in exile in Yancheng. These rich are already poor and only have money left.

It would be too wasteful if the rich continue to hide their money in the cellar. Only by allowing money to circulate and make money generate money can Yancheng be better developed.

"Ahead is the agreed transaction location, Dashi Island. It is said that this island was transformed after the death of a demon king who became a spirit from stone. There are bluestones all over the island. Now, after simple repairs, a market has been established. It is also the location of this transaction.”

"Although the official agreement between the two parties is 1000 billion, the goods you brought over are all needed by the country of Yue, and there is a high probability that they can be sold. As for what you want to buy in the country of Yue, it depends on your own negotiation price capable."

"One last reminder, this is Yue, not Yancheng. This transaction is also the first transaction between the two parties, so it must be sincere and honest. Only when both parties are happy in the first transaction can there be a second or third transaction later. And now that the floating island is being built, when the time comes, our transactions with Yue will start at trillions of dollars per year."

"Yue State is a big country with more than 200 counties. Now, many counties are occupied by monsters and have not yet been developed. When these lands are developed, the annual transaction scale of [-] trillion yuan is just around the corner. If anyone intends to entrap the other party in this transaction, Then I can only do business.”

"Finally, this is the first time I've presided over a major event since I became a Taoist priest. I hope you can save face and cooperate."

Hearing this, Taoist Qingmei said with a smile: "Of course, who doesn't know that Brother Qu, you are one of the great scholars in the cabinet, and you are the emperor's servant of the dragon, and you have followed the emperor since the release of the Dao Destruction Order ..."

The people in the flower sedan chair carried people, looking at Taoist Qingmei in front of them, Quwu was also full of joy: "Where there is, you are not bad, Fellow Daoist Qingmei."

"Who doesn't know that Plum Blossom Dao was the first Taoism to go to the lord back then. After several years of development, the next generation of Plum Blossom Dao has produced several geniuses. I have heard that there are several young heroes who have become masters at a young age. I became a disciple of the Plum Blossom Dao. And fellow Daoist, you even made a breakthrough last year and became a Taoist priest, which is really enviable."

After a while, Quwu led everyone to Dashi Island first, and saw Wen Zhong standing here.

As for Goujian, he is the Marquis of Yue after all, the real first monarch, how could he have the reason to take the initiative to meet a group of wealthy merchants?

Therefore, Gou Jian quietly hid his own existence, and handed over all this to Wen Zhong.

Dashi Island is very lively, and a large number of transactions have begun.

This transaction will last for half a month.

Half a month later, the fleet will return to Yancheng with the floating island.

……

In Huangtian World, Jiang Hua is dealing with government affairs.

Although you have to work hard to cultivate your body, you still have to deal with government affairs.Therefore, he once again came to Huangtian World to deal with government affairs here.

At this time last year, there were only fifteen counties in Yancheng.

At this moment of this year, the map of Yancheng has added four counties in the south, six counties in the north, and seven counties in the west. This is seventeen counties, and the area has more than doubled.

Moreover, the jungles between the counties and counties in the north, west, and south have also been opened up one by one, but they are still under construction and cannot be regarded as complete counties.However, it can be seen from the map planning that once these jungles are developed, Yancheng will add at least 25 new counties.

This leads to a problem, the land is big, but the population is small!

Even though these 25 counties are still being developed, Yancheng now has a full 42 counties, and there are 42 prefects alone.

In principle, government affairs are under the management of Prime Minister Yu, but when the prefect is dissatisfied with a certain decision of Prime Minister Yu, he will directly write a letter to Jiang Hua, and have lawsuits, quarrels, and conflicts with Prime Minister Yu in front of Jiang Hua. Dispute.

But this kind of thing is relatively rare, so Jiang Hua actually handles government affairs every day, not too much.What Jiang Hua does most now is to set rules for new things, such as the Yancheng Bond Exchange.

At this moment, Lu Buwei was standing beside Jiang Hua, telling Jiang Hua what he was thinking: "Master!"

In the past few years, Lu Buwei has already recognized the master, and since he took charge of the Yancheng Bond Exchange, he has never made the slightest mistake. Now everyone says that Lu Buwei is the treasurer of Yancheng.

In terms of age, Lu Buwei is now as old as Jiang Hua, and in terms of strength, he has already found his own way forward. As long as he accumulates enough, he can soar into the sky.

Since he completely joined Yancheng and recognized Jiang Hua as the lord, Lu Buwei wrote a letter and called his old father.

Lu Buwei's family has been in business for generations, and by the time of Lu Buwei's old father's generation, they had already accumulated a lot of money.After the old father came to Yancheng, after a little research, he went back to his hometown to sell the property, accumulated money, and bought property in Yancheng by the way.

Today, the Lu family can be regarded as a well-known wealthy merchant family in Yancheng.

"My lord, we have too much money in Yancheng!"

"Since Jin Yiwei began to expand to other countries, there are too many nobles who have come to us to avoid disaster for various reasons!"

"Our Yancheng's prestige is already very high, coupled with Li Sheng's formation, this guarantees safety. In this troubled world, safety is the most scarce gift."

"In the past, the Taoists of our ten counties here, and the nobles of the ten counties across the river, all sold bonds on the exchange. On average, a family still had 1000 billion yuan a year, and the total amount was two trillion yuan a year. Now three years Come down, the total amount of debt is as high as [-] trillion."

"These bonds are all bearer, and they are the safest wealth."

"Many big nobles are not looking at the interest of the bond, but the bond itself is guaranteed by the reputation of the big nobles. The Han, Zhao and Wei San clans of the Jin Kingdom have more than 1000 billion yuan just for their names!"

"Great nobles, what they like is that the bonds themselves are not registered, and whoever holds the bonds can sell them. In our exchange, bonds can be sold at any time. Although there are ups and downs, they will not be blacked out. .”

Most nobles will consider their children and future generations.

Even the landlord Lao Cai knows that when a house is built, a pot of silver or a pot of gold or jade must be buried somewhere in the foundation of the house. If you lose, you can dig out this jar of silver and live a good life, so you won't starve to death directly.

But the big nobles will only think more about future generations, and the three caves of the cunning rabbit are not enough to describe them.

At this time, they learned about the bonds issued by the Yancheng Bond Exchange. In their view, this was another way out.

With the idea of ​​multiple ways out, many ministers sent their sons to buy 1000 million or tens of millions of bearer bonds.Not for the little interest, nor for the various conditions promised by Taoist Taiping, just to leave a way out for the family.

Just the big nobles who did this have rounded up a total of [-] trillion yuan in bonds.

"My lord, last winter, whether it was the rebellion against Xiangliu, the later Star Spirit Pot, or Senior Lin Er, many nobles were optimistic about the future of our Yancheng."

"Since then, more nobles have come to our Yancheng with money."

"These big nobles are getting richer than the other, and the prices of what they buy have increased, seriously disrupting the normal order."

"Originally, they wanted to buy houses in Yancheng street by street, and then just sit there and collect rent. But this is not the same as our idea in Yancheng, so the purchase of houses in Yancheng is restricted."

"This amount of hot money will definitely increase in the future. It can't be digested by relying on [-] trillion yuan in development bonds every year. In the end, most of the hot money can only be placed in the cellar again, or hidden in a hidden cave. It’s a waste. If we guide it well, Yancheng’s development speed will definitely be even faster!”

Hearing this, Jiang Hua asked: "So, you already have an idea, let's hear it!"

Lu Buwei swiped and took out a stack of documents: "I copied all these documents from the cabinet."

As he said that, Lu Buwei picked up the first document on it: "This document was written by Jijiu from the academy himself. It said that he wanted to simplify the heaven-level Taoism to call the wind and rain. Simplified to several Earth-level Taoisms, dozens of Xuan-level Taoisms, and hundreds of Huang-level Taoisms."

"In this way, when future generations learn the heaven-level Taoism to call the wind and rain, they can start from the first Huang-level Taoism and climb up the level step by step, and the difficulty of learning drops sharply."

"He thinks that this project needs the treasures of heaven, material and earth... two mouthfuls of water..."

"Together, these things cost about 30 billion dollars, and it doesn't necessarily work out."

"Generally speaking, this is actually Xuegong Jijiu who wants to learn and research some Taoism. By the way, he makes an application, brags, and sees if he can cheat some money from the monarch's mansion. Finally, when they learn The Daoist method still uses the money of the monarch's mansion, and there may even be some leftovers, which all become his own."

"In the end, he learned Taoism and earned money. It's perfect."

"In the beginning, the Monarch's Mansion would also provide some funding. But gradually, more and more people did this, and the success rate of the project gradually began to decline. Now many people apply, and only two The money that is made, the rest depends on the results and output.”

"If this Jijiu is willing to take this project to our bond exchange, and then make a heavenly method to simplify the bond, as long as it is done well, it must be very popular."

"For example, he can say that if the project is successful, all those who purchase bonds with an amount of more than [-] yuan can learn a simplified yellow-level spell for free. If the amount reaches one million yuan, they can learn all yellow-level spells And a mysterious spell."

"If the amount reaches [-] million yuan, you can learn all yellow-level and mysterious-level spells, plus at least one earth-level simplified spell."

"And if it fails, then the sacrifice of wine will lose time and energy, and everyone will lose money."

"This is a gamble. The gamble is the research ability of Jijiu, and the gamble is the vision of investors."

"I feel that if this Jijiu is really willing to do this, then even if he issues 50 billion research bonds, someone will definitely buy them!"

"Once the project of the Academy's Jijiu is successful, as long as you are willing to share some of the results, it will definitely be very popular!"

Speaking of this, Lu Buwei took out a document again: "This document was written to the cabinet by a Taoist priest who was born in the cabinet and was sent out to serve as the county magistrate. It is mainly asking for money, people, and treasures."

"The county magistrate said that he has carefully inspected the water conservancy situation in the county, and plans to build water conservancy projects. It is estimated that after the completion of the whole project, 100 million mu of dry land can be transformed into paddy fields. If all Taoists are hired for the whole project, the time will be very fast. It can be completed in one month, but it will cost 50 billion. If Taoists are used for the key and difficult points, and other local people are mobilized for construction, it will take three years, and the money only needs about one billion."

"Now, he is crying about being poor, and his main purpose is to ask for money and people."

"But the cabinet's money didn't come from the wind!"

"Although the cabinet has money, there are more places to spend it."

"A project like this can actually issue water conservancy construction bonds directly on the exchange, with the county as a guarantee, and wait until the future water conservancy project is completed. Million acres of paddy fields, using improved seeds and soil treasures, plus our carefully researched farming methods According to the law, it is not difficult to produce ten stones per mu, which is one thousand yuan."

"With 100 million mu of paddy fields, the total annual income is one billion dollars."

"If the county is willing to issue bonds, with the income from paddy fields in the next 20 years as a guarantee, 30 billion yuan or even 50 billion yuan of bonds can still be issued. It's just that this kind of bond must take longer, with five or ten years. year as the unit."

"But on the whole, the county will definitely be able to return in ten years. Even if it is really not there, there are counties behind the county, and our Yancheng is above the county."

"It's not impossible to use the money hidden in the cellars of local tyrants to hire Taoists, build Yancheng, and train more Taoists, and even all Taoists!"

"If we want to get the local tyrants to pay, we just need to be good at telling stories, and let the local tyrants suffocate their dreams, it's actually not difficult!"

"What we have to do is to set relatively strict standards at the beginning. Wait until the success rate increases, and then slowly lower the threshold..."
