back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 593 Tax Coupons
National debt is an excellent bond issued by the state based on national credit, which promises to pay interest and repay the principal at maturity.Because the state tax is used as a guarantee, there is no need to fear that the debtor will run away.It's just that Lu Chengqi didn't expect that what he thought was good would be opposed by the three of them.

Lu Chengqi originally thought that Su Shi was supporting him, but unexpectedly Su Shi also stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate! The court's borrowing of debts will make the people mistakenly think that the court can't support it anymore? In this way, disasters will happen all over the place." !"

I have to admit that what Su Shi said makes sense.Lu Chengqi really didn't take into account the mentality of the people at this time. Although the national debt is good, he doesn't have such a concept. No matter how good something is, it is only more misunderstood.Just like the commercial insurance of later generations, because in the early years, some unqualified salesmen stalked and stalked the common people, which made the word "selling insurance" become a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat .In fact, the significance of buying insurance is far better than depositing money in the bank. As long as there is no accident during the policy period, not only the principal will be returned, but interest will also be returned.It's a boon for the poor, but the industry has such a bad reputation, how long will it take for people to change their minds?Lu Chengqi not only wants to engage in national debt, but also wants to acquire insurance!It's just that people's concept of financial management is weak now. If you want to make it scale, you may not be enough for a lifetime.

The most urgent task is to change people's ideas.As long as the concept is correct, no matter how many national debts are sold, there is no fear of failure to sell them.What's more, Lu Chengqi has a trump card.As long as merchants who bought government bonds, they could immediately obtain the qualifications for the scientific examination.This is a benefit that is hard to buy, as long as you use it, you are not afraid that those merchants will not buy it.However, this trick can only be effective in the short term. Over time, if the concept does not change, it will still not be sold.

Lu Chengqi nodded, and said: "What the three Qings say makes sense, and this is just my initial idea. According to what the three Qings said, the biggest obstacle to the national debt is the public's perception. In fact, it is very It's easy to handle, it's nothing more than the name causing trouble. If it is changed to 'tax coupons', what do you think of the three Qing family?"

Speaking of this, in fact, everyone knows it well.Xu Chongguang knew that it was impossible to rely on a few people to force the little emperor to submit.In the court, apart from the faction that pro-him, there was also the faction that pro-little emperor, and there was also the faction that was neutral.Even within the civil official group, there are many struggles.Now that this is the case, how can we work together to continue to suppress the warriors?

Lin Zhenzhong didn't speak, he was just making use of the topic.In fact, with the surplus money in the national treasury, it is not a problem to survive the autumn harvest, but it is just to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.Continue the developer tax, save a little expenditure, and it will not be a big problem to survive until the autumn harvest.Hearing what Lu Chengqi said, he was very disappointed.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the status of literati has fluctuated.Now in the Dashun Dynasty, the status of the literati was finally stabilized, but unexpectedly they were overthrown by the emperor of the dynasty.In such a situation, how could he not be worried?

Only Su Shi, after serious consideration, said, "Your Majesty, this name is better than before. It's just..."

"Just what?" Lu Chengqi frowned and asked.

"It's just that the people don't understand, and I'm afraid it's not easy to sell." Su Shi said bluntly, tax coupons sound grand, but the people don't like it!

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this at all. As long as there is Dashun Min Bao, this tax coupon will not worry about selling. What's more, it's not that the principal will not be returned, and there will be interest! Businessmen value the most interests, just like The old cat is resting on the salted fish, how can I let it live for the next day? With the promotion of "Dashun Min Bao", it is true that the tax coupons are not enough to sell!"

"I hope so!" Su Shi was still uneasy. In his opinion, how much is such paper worth?It was beyond his imagination that he could get money in exchange.

Lu Chengqi also thought of the hunger marketing of a certain mobile phone in the United States in the later generations. It was first released in other places, but not in China.The price of a parallel imported mobile phone is several times higher than the original price.Later, the domestically produced Mi mobile phone also learned this trick, specifically to deceive Chinese people.Such high-end and low-priced mobile phones only live in advertisements.The real thing, you can never get it.Even if it can be snatched, it will be half a year, more than half a year later.At that time, the price of original components dropped, and Moumi saved another sum.

Although this kind of hunger marketing is not good, Lu Chengqi is determined to learn from it.The tax certificates (national bonds) issued are also limited.Let the Ministry of Household Statistics figure out how much money there is in the shortfall, and how many tax coupons will be issued.While stocks last, each person is limited to five tickets, so please be early if you want to buy.This first shot always has to be fired, even if the interest rate is a little higher.Anyway, the treasury will have money after one year, and repayment is not a problem.

After getting the reputation of tax coupons, are you afraid that no one will make such a high-return, low-risk investment?I'm afraid those rich merchants and wealthy gentry are rushing to buy it, and even cry that they can't buy enough!
After Lu Chengqi slowly confided his thoughts, both Xu Chongguang and Lin Zhenzhong were from the household department, so they didn't know that the little emperor's move was too cruel.Actually wanting merchants to pay for the national treasury, isn't this a satire on their civil servants, who are not even as good as merchants?

Thinking of this, Xu Chongguang still had to struggle a bit: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I'm afraid there is something wrong with making such a hasty order."

Lu Chengqi also gave him enough face, after all, he is the chief assistant of the cabinet: "So what does Xu Qing mean?"

"I don't dare, I just want to discuss this matter with the court and brainstorm. Your Majesty often says that three pi generals are better than one Zhuge Liang. Discussing this matter at the court meeting will definitely make this method more perfect." Xu Chongguang said unhurriedly, observing Lu Chengqi's face while talking.

Lu Chengqi carefully "listened" for a while, and then slowly said: "Xu Qing's words are very kind! There are still three days before the next court. Yes, this period of time is enough for "Dashun People's Daily" to spread throughout Dashun Every corner."

Lin Zhenzhong was taken aback: "Your Majesty wants to make this matter public?"

Lu Chengqi wondered, "Why not?"

"Before the court discussion started, it was hurriedly published in the newspaper. If the court meeting fails to pass this law, wouldn't His Majesty lose his trust? At that time, not only the court's prestige will be damaged, but His Majesty's prestige will also be damaged..." Lin Zhenzhong Hastily stopped and said, to be honest, he doesn't like any "tax coupons".The agricultural tax has been reduced so low that there is no money to be collected, and they have to borrow money to survive.Even if you borrow money, you still have to repay it with interest.If you want to increase the revenue of the treasury, why bother, just increase the agricultural tax directly.Anyway, the people in the Central Plains are used to being squeezed, so charging more should not cause trouble...

Lu Chengqi didn't know what was going on in Lin Zhenzhong's mind. Seeing the tricks, he said: "The result of the court discussion is important, but I value the opinions of the people more. This is the case. The court meeting will be held in three days. I know. If the three of you have nothing to do, you can leave. It's almost noon, and I'm going to eat. How about you three stay here and eat with me?"
