As long as you can successfully borrow money from the people, you can buy food and grass, build weapons, and train the army.
It is also possible to recruit troops on a large scale.
As long as you win the battle, take back the robbed city, have more tax revenue, stabilize the country, and rest and recuperate, are you afraid that you won't have any money to return to the people
Lost
The emperor has not considered this possibility in his mind. If he loses...
Can't lose.
As long as you have enough financial resources, you will not lose.
The biggest drain on war is money.
The emperor did not reply to Zheng Guo's words, nor did he say whether he agreed or disagreed.
The matter of national debt has begun, asking the subjects all over the world to borrow money.
Mobilize everyone to buy government bonds.
Don’t you have some spare money in your hands? Come invest, take responsibility for the country's reputation, and ensure profits without losing money.
Although some ministers in the court felt that the emperor was increasing taxes on the people of the world in disguise, which was inappropriate.
There will be a lot of complaints by then.
The country is not at peace at the moment, and this trouble will not accelerate the country's demise.
And everyone is a little worried that if they get the money, they will become like the late emperor, eating, drinking, having fun and being extravagant.
At that time, not only Zheng Guo, but also the people of their country may rush into the palace to rebel.
I have never played this before, so I have many concerns.
But the emperor had been completely brainwashed by Meng Li's plan, and all he could think about was borrowing money.
Get money to fight and win the war.
He doesn't want to become a king who has subjugated his country, and the posthumous title after his death will definitely not sound good.
He also wants to prove to the world that he can do it. Even though he inherited a mess, he can clean it up.
Most men have a desire to achieve success.
It felt like he had been injected with chicken blood.
He repeatedly said that this was not an increase in taxes, nor was it borrowing money without paying it back. He would pay it back with interest.
And these are all voluntary.
It is not mandatory. If you are willing to invest, just invest. If you are not willing to invest, forget it.
It doesn’t mean you have to buy it.
It's not a forced purchase or sale.
In private, he had asked Princess Yongfu to work out a detailed plan and give it to him.
I was originally unwilling to let the princess interfere in government affairs, but now I really need her.
It seems that she is not a person who is greedy for power. Of course, he will not give her rights. At most, she will be rewarded with a mansion and the title will already be there.
I regret a bit that I blocked her account too early, otherwise I could have rewarded her with both achievements this time.
Some ministers are beginning to take the lead in buying national debt. Some are not optimistic about it, while others are very optimistic about it.
It is a kind of support for the emperor and the country. Of course, it also stems from trust in the emperor and the country.
Since he is an official in the court and sees someone buying it, other people are helpless.
Go ahead and buy it, even if you can't get your money back, you still have to buy it.
After all, now that the country is facing a national crisis, can it be said that there is no expression at all
However, ministers who were not optimistic about this matter thought that the money was wasted.
The emperor smiled and said that you all have good taste.
Go back and mobilize your family, relatives and friends to buy it.
Then the aristocracy started buying national debt.
What is popular among the aristocracy is also popular among the people, and many people are beginning to understand this national debt.
I calculated it secretly in my mind. The interest rate is very high. If I can really earn that much by then, it will be a good deal.
Besides, they are doing their best for the country. Now that the country needs support, they are also very patriotic.
Many people bought it.
In everyone's mind, the country's reputation is still higher than personal reputation.
Those who are rich or courageous should buy more; those who have no money or are timid should buy less.
But most of the families who could afford it bought more or less.
Unless the family really doesn’t have any extra spare money, that’s it.
In fact, I am also lamenting that although the country is so short of money, after the new king came to the throne, he would rather borrow money than increase taxes on them. Even the national debt depends on personal wishes.
move!
It is not easy for the king of a country to be so shameless as to lend them money.
They thought it was not easy for the emperor to be happy every day and to be able to raise so much wealth in a short time.
The princes who defended one side had strong financial resources. The emperor secretly contacted a prince who had always been very supportive of the emperor.
Understanding the emperor's intention, he waved his hand, "How can I make such a fortune at a time of national crisis?"
Scream loudly: I don’t buy national bonds, I donate.
The emperor followed Meng Li's instructions and announced the amount of the donation.
Everyone was stunned, surprised by the prince's financial resources, and also surprised by his generosity and patriotism.
After all, many people have never heard of so much money in their lives.
Everyone praised the prince who was the first to donate.
The emperor had more in mind, so he specially found people to praise the prince among the people, and then selected a few princes who in his mind had the same financial resources as the prince to make comparisons among the people.
The princes were forced to donate similar amounts of money.
With such leadership, princes from all over the world donated money whether they were willing or unwilling.
No one has the nerve to buy government bonds.
After all, how many people bear the surname Yan.
The emperor can be said to be a white wolf with empty gloves.
It’s also very rewarding.
In fact, Meng Li still had a way to make the emperor earn more.
You can re-issue a large amount of new currency and then create inflation. In this way, when the people who bought the national debt cash it out within the specified period, if you think about it carefully, you will find that you are actually losing money.
But Meng Li didn't tell the emperor these words, because he was afraid that the emperor would be tempted.
She is not the kind of person who deceives people, she is too wicked.
She felt guilty for thinking this.
It's not that she doesn't have the ability to deceive others, it's just that she doesn't want to deceive others.
On the other side of Zheng Guo, Chang Hongfu was leisurely in the study. The paper spread out in front of him was a portrait of Meng Li. He raised the corners of his lips, changed the shape of Meng Li's eyebrows, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Said to himself:
"Looking gentler like this is the kind of you I want."
"Princess Yongfu, you can't run away."
Chang Hongfu said emphatically.
He firmly believed that Yan Guo's treasury was empty, and if he didn't come up with new methods, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Now there is an urgent need to get out of the predicament and recuperate, so the princess must be married.
He wanted her to understand that her fate was actually very tragic.
Once she was abandoned by the Yan Royal Family, she would be abandoned a second time, countless times.
He wants to destroy all the glory and dignity she earned in the Yan royal family.
This is the way to retaliate against such a person. Even if you beat her or scold her, it won't be of much use.
Chang Hongfu glanced at the pair of plain watery eyes in the portrait and felt a little annoyed.
How could he make these eyes so real? They are incompatible with the slightly upturned corners of the mouth. It's weird.
He hated her eyes, as if she was looking at him from an unknown height, looking at him like all living things, making him feel nothing special about himself.
He is obviously a special person...
