Chapter 606 War Bond
Before the imperial court, the generals and fiefs were nationalized, and the land owned by criminals who ransacked their homes and exiled them was also disposed of in the same way, showing a relatively strong policy tendency, which made the landlords and gentry very anxious.

After all, land is the most stable asset and can provide a more stable income than a merchant.After many businessmen make money, they will also buy land and houses for future retirement purposes.

But now, the dust has settled, landlords, gentry, and even merchants can breathe a sigh of relief.You must know that although the imperial court will rigidly stipulate the rent and tax, the landlords and gentry will still get certain benefits from it.

Well, this is also in line with the emperor's consistent principles.Although the means are tough, they seldom push people to a corner and always give you a choice.

The parallel state-owned and private ownership also gives tenants the right to choose.

With the expansion in all directions, there will be more and more land, and there will be fewer and fewer tenants without land.

Of course, life is not all smooth sailing, and there will always be landless tenants.But as long as the imperial immigration policy remains unchanged, there will be no substantial increase in tenants.

As a result, the master-servant relationship between landlords and tenants is likely to change.Just like in later generations, if the boss can't hire workers, he has to raise the salary, and even pull himself off to recruit workers.

Moreover, the imperial court also vigorously supported the development of industry and commerce.The increase in jobs makes it less likely that the landless will become tenants and have more options for making a living.

"Exciting!"

"Build it for hundreds of acres and leave a legacy for future generations."

"That's the reason. Turn money into land, sow it every year, and reap it every year. You can make a steady profit without losing money."

...............

Even the merchants became enthusiastic about the court's new land policy.

Although the bank has been launched, it has not yet started the savings business. Even if it is opened, there will be no interest and a storage fee.

Also because of people's traditional habits, it is safest to keep money at home.Well now, buying land and running it is much better than hiding at home and doing nothing.

"If there is land, there must be someone. Abandoning waste is not allowed."

"As long as you don't abandon the wasteland, it's fine if you plant it well or not." With a sly smile, a businessman stroked his beard and said his own way.

Indeed, this is also an unavoidable loophole.If you buy the land, it belongs to others. What to plant, how many people to use, good or bad, all do not violate the law.

But the emperor didn't care about this little cleverness. His goal was achieved, and the development of the Great Northern Wilderness will enter a new stage.There are also Dongfan Prefecture, Mekong Province, and the Burmese land that will be occupied, all of which have such policies.

As long as the land is not barren, as long as someone manages and cultivates it, it is development, but it is just a matter of speed.

Yang Runmin and the others discussed for a while, raised their hands and pressed down, and said with a smile: "The new land policy is a grace from the imperial court. If you are interested, you can discuss it after the meeting. Vice President Chen has one more thing to announce, please Listen carefully, everyone."

Everyone quieted down and looked at Yang Runmin intently.

Chen Heyi chuckled, cupped his hands, and said, "Long live is a wise and powerful man. He conquered the slaves in the Liao Dynasty and wiped out the chieftains. The strength of the Ming army is obvious to all. Today, Wan live wants to expand the territory and make the Ming Dynasty more powerful. Special issue War Bonds..."

Ping Liao bonds, Xing Liao bonds, the imperial court issued two bonds one after another.Pingliao bonds have a period of five years and mature in the following year; Xingliao bonds were issued last year with a period of three years.

Although the bond has not been repaid, no one is worried that the court will not pay.

Things are going well, everyone can see that.Moreover, the Pingliao and Xingliao bonds are mortgaged by the land and forests of Liaodong, so there is no money and land!
Besides, although the interest on bonds is not high, it is better than staying at home!Therefore, except for those who are in urgent need of money, few people sell their bonds in advance.

In order to enhance the credibility of the bonds, the imperial court ordered banks to repurchase Pingliao bonds starting this year.Of course, if the bond is not due, you will naturally not get the interest, you can only recover the principal.

Chen Heyi continued to explain the rules of the war bond, and everyone listened carefully.As a large chamber of commerce supported by the imperial court, it will definitely repay the imperial court.It's not a free donation, and there is little resistance.

War bonds are for the purpose of expanding territory, which is essentially expansion and plunder.The more Chen Heyi talked, the clearer everyone knew.

This is not the kind of fixed-interest bond, but a venture capital investment.If the battle is won, if you grab more, you will naturally share more; if you lose, you will lose, and you may lose all your capital.

Is the court short of money? There is no such thing as too much money, and it can be spent as much as it has.

However, the emperor issued war bonds, on the one hand, to reduce financial pressure, and on the other hand, he hoped that the people of Ming Dynasty would participate in the expansion of the country.

Why are there militarism and warlike death? It is because the posture of war is wrong and the way to open it is wrong.

There is nothing wrong with expansion and plunder, but who is the beneficiary and who is the group that increases the burden?

Just because there are few beneficiaries, the common people have to bear the burden of increasing taxes.If you win, there is no benefit; if you lose, you may have to increase the burden, or even ruin your family.

Cars are rattling, horses are Xiaoxiao, and pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists.Parents, mothers and wives see each other off, but the Xianyang Bridge is not seen in the dust.

Pulling the clothes and stopping the road to cry, the cry went straight to the sky.Those who pass by the road ask pedestrians, but pedestrians often travel frequently.

The war-weariness of the common people is not without reason. To achieve the goal of "rejoicing after hearing the war", we must let them appreciate the benefits of war.

Only in this way can a virtuous circle be formed and a pioneering spirit be formed.As for linking war with finance, Xiyi has done so for a long time, and the effect is remarkable.

"You can see the income in about a year, it should be no less than [-]%." Chen Heyi glanced at the crowd, and continued: "I believe in the military power of Ming Dynasty, and I believe that I can win every battle. Of course, everyone has their own ideas. The imperial court It has also been clarified that it is completely voluntary, and there is no apportionment or coercion.”

Glancing at Yang Runmin and seeing Yang Runmin's jaw-dropping smile, Chen Heyi turned his head and said, "There are risks, but doing business also has losses and profits. Whether to buy or not to buy, how much to buy, you all discuss carefully after the meeting."

"Dare to ask Master Yang, can you reveal the target of this war." A businessman cupped his hands and asked.

Yang Runmin pondered for a while, and said: "The royal family of the barbarian country in the south is quite rich."

Champa?Water Chenla?Myanmar?

Those who know the situation in the surrounding countries immediately use their brains, thinking about which one Daming is going to fight against.

Chen Heyi laughed twice, and said: "I'm not showing off, and I don't have billions of dollars. But the court conquered the barbarians and strengthened our country's prestige, so I still have to contribute a small amount. If there is more, 1 yuan, others will laugh at me for being stingy." , it’s up to him.”

The vice president was proofreading, 1 yuan is not too much, and it gave everyone face.Don't take too much, it's not good to exceed the vice president.

There was a relaxed look on the faces of the people, discussing in twos and threes, and said goodbye.
