Chapter 1,716 Borrowing Money From People All over the World
"Shen An is out of the palace."
Ever since Shen An entered the palace, his whereabouts have been under the attention of interested people.
"The Song Dynasty is very strange." Wang Yu was waiting for him outside the imperial city. "A major event like the Northern Expedition could be announced openly and in advance."
"You can't hide it if you don't tell it. If you tell it, it will make the Liao people fearful." Shen An was waiting for someone.
"Maybe it's better to hide some of it. Now I'm afraid even Yelu Hongji knows that the Song Dynasty is short of money."
Wang Yu always felt that the fewer people involved in military affairs, the better. "This matter should be limited to Zaifu."
"I can't hide it." Shen An said, "Besides, the quality of something depends on how you do it. I think this is a good thing."
"Shen Long Tu." Zhang Bian came out.
Shen An turned around and held up his hands, "I will also ask Zhang Douzhi to send people to monitor the city later."
"What are you monitoring?" Zhang Baibian still looked the same as he did ten years ago. He was wearing empty clothes. People couldn't help but want to see if there were any bones in the body under the clothes.
Wang Yu just wanted to take a look, and he was thinking about it boldly.
"The Central Government will lend money to people all over the world, but the old party will not be willing to accept it. If the people who go to the bank are dealt with by them, Zhang Dou knows that His Majesty will be furious."
"Most of those who lend money to the government support the New Deal." Wang Yu added.
Zhang Baibian glanced at him and said, "I know, I don't need you to remind me."
This idiot!
Wang Yu glanced at him and just sneered.
"It's just a small thing."
Zhang Baibian went back very calmly.
Shen An said calmly: "Don't worry, Zhang Baibian will not neglect such matters."
"I haven't resented him yet." Wang Yu felt that Shen An had underestimated his own ambition, but he couldn't help but think about how to take advantage of Zhang Bailai.
All the way to the bank, Shen Anyan gave brief and concise instructions: "The imperial court will borrow money from people all over the world for the Northern Expedition. The principal and interest will be paid back in three years, with an annual interest of two cents. A notice will be written immediately accordingly."
Tang Ren took action personally and wrote a notice in a short while. Shen An looked at it and sighed, "You have to study!"
Tang Ren blushed and said, "Xia Guan has also been reading recently."
"But look at Su Shi." When Su Shi was mentioned, even Shen An was depressed. "That's it. Post it and let them copy it... No, let people go to the bookstore and print it out with movable type. Get more."
"How many do you need?" Tang Ren estimated, "There are always dozens of copies in Bianliang City, and some outside the city, so a hundred copies should be enough, right?"
"Not enough." Shen An sat down, "A thousand copies will be posted everywhere."
Tang Ren was puzzled, "Where to stick it?"
"It's posted everywhere, starting from Bianliang...and all the way to the Song Dynasty."
Shen An's expression was calm, but Tang Ren was startled, "Shen Longtu, what... does this mean?"
"Just go!"
Shen An smiled and said: "I want the officials to see that everything is actually not difficult."
The notice was posted, and the Xia brothers were also reading it.
"The money raised for the Northern Expedition... will be returned in batches in three years, with an annual interest of two cents... Brother, this is equivalent to the interest on loans from outside, which is quite a lot."
Xia Jin nodded, "It's quite a lot, but...let alone two points, even ten points, those people won't borrow it. If you don't believe it, just wait and see, not many people will come."
Shen An was sitting in the bank reading a book.
Various magical arts are bombarding, various characters are changing...
"Shen Longtu, there are not many people."
The notice was posted, but only a few people came.
"Who is he?" Shen An asked as he put down the book.
"Peddler."
The vendors in Bianliang had received favors from Shen An, so most of them came here to repay the favor.
Tang Ren was a little confused, "Why don't you... I think you can call some businessmen to discuss the matter."
There was more cruelty in his eyes, "If they don't want to... we will deal with them."
"No need." Shen An started reading again.
The entertainment methods of this era are really boring to him, but now he has a group of literati writing novels, and the first reader is him, which is very exciting.
Tang Ren went out with a frown on his face.
After the news spread, Zhao Shu sighed: "Even businessmen refuse to lend money?"
When Chen Zhongheng saw that he was worried, he said, "Official, would you like me to go and ask?"
"Go ahead."
Chen Zhongheng went to the bank and came back later to report: "Just a few hawkers went there. Shen An said that if he borrowed money, businessmen would flock to him because they would not lose money and could get favors from him. But the court borrowed money. But otherwise, those businessmen will be careful in their calculations, thinking about whether..."
Seeing Chen Zhongheng hesitate to speak, Zhao Shu asked: "Are you worried about the failure of the Northern Expedition?"
"Yes." Chen Zhongheng gritted his teeth and said, "Those people are really cunning."
"There are not many loyal people." Zhao Shu sneered, "In addition, the benefits are not enough, and those who get two cents are not interested in it, and they will only take action if they want more benefits."
Later the news kept coming.
"A businessman went with money."
"There are quite a few!"
Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "After all, there are still people who know the importance. These businessmen are very good. If there is any benefit in the future, I will give it to them first. As for the others... Bianliang's wealthy merchants will count them one by one. Those who did not come will be remembered."
This emperor can be said to be petty, but not many people know about it.
So the sporadic loan operation lasted for a long time, and more than 10,000 yuan was received. More than 10,000 guan was usually a big gain, but before the huge cost of the Northern Expedition, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Shen An took the book and went home, looking very safe.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
In a restaurant, a group of people were laughing wildly.
"We are the richest people in the world. If we don't take action, where will they get the money?"
"Those people are not fools. When they see that we don't pay, they have to think carefully."
"The Northern Expedition will cost countless money and food. Shen An came up with this idea, but it will end in disgrace. In this way, the Northern Expedition is a bit ominous."
A man leaned forward and said with a sinister smile: "Then we will start to dissuade you. The Northern Expedition... drag it! Drag it!"
Lu Jie sat at the top, raised his glass and said: "This is the general trend. The general trend does not agree with the Northern Expedition. If it is done forcefully..."
A man smiled and said: "Let them think about Emperor Sui Yang when the time comes."
"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also insisted on conquering Goguryeo. After several defeats, he died and his country perished. This is a lesson from the past!"
"Shut up!" Lu Jie said angrily, "This is too much."
"yes!"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then someone said: "The officials are unwilling to use next year's expenses, which shows... that they are merciful."
Everyone laughed, but there was no appreciation or admiration in their eyes, it was all joking.
I just needed to say the word pedantic.
Lu Hui said with a smile: "Those people are going to borrow money today. It's like this on the first day. Those people must be afraid. Just wait and see, there will be even fewer people going there tomorrow."
"Yes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pay back the money I borrowed."
"..."
The night is dark, but the lights are still brightly lit everywhere in Bianliang.
In this largest and most prosperous city in the world, countless people are planning for tomorrow.
"Lady."
In a house in a grassland in the outer city, the male owner Ye Laoer was washing his feet.
There is hot water in the tub, which is very comfortable to soak in.
His wife, Mrs. Wang, was preparing breakfast for tomorrow.
Breakfast is also simple, just make flatbread and soup.
As for takeout, once in a while is fine, but who can bear the daily expense?
Therefore, prosperity always comes bit by bit and is closely related to everyone.
Mrs. Wang kneaded the dough, raised her head and said, "What's the matter, officer?"
Ye Laoer hesitated for a moment and said, "How much money do you have left at home?"
"Almost... almost twice." Wang said cautiously: "This money will be used to save Dalang for his studies. You cannot lend it to others."
"My husband knows." Ye Laoer was a little angry, but after holding it back, he said, "My husband is thinking... Madam, do you still remember that time?"
"What year?" Ye Laoer had some bad friends. These people often came to eat and drink, which made Wang a little angry.
"Our family didn't have enough money to save back then." Ye Laoer also knew that he was unreliable, so he softened his tone.
"Yes!" Ms. Wang raised her head and thought for a moment, "In those years... when I first married you, my family was poor and we only had coarse grains to eat. We could only eat the big cakes and soup cakes once every few days, so we had to worry about it. Don't dare to eat too much.
Things are getting better now..."
Ye Laoer was slightly happy, "Do you still remember the tax exemption?"
"Remember." Wang said with a smile: "If Jiaozhi is destroyed, the reduction will be reduced once. If the Western Bandit is surrendered, the reduction will be reduced again. Once the Western Bandit is surrendered, the government will say that the future expenses will be less. The officials are kind and talk to the people. Rest, doesn’t this reduce taxes...
These two coins are saved in the bank, and there is profit every year. If he can save twenty coins, Dalang will not have to worry about studying. Why! "
Wang suddenly said with joy: "I heard someone say the other day that books are cheap now, and studying will be cheap in the future."
"Yes." Ye Laoer nodded, "These are all benefits. I just went out for my husband today and heard that the DPRK was preparing for the Northern Expedition."
"Northern Expedition, recapture Youyan." Wang said with a smile: "Everyone in Bianliang knows this. UU看书www.uukanshu.net If Youyan can be recovered, the expenses of the court will be less, and our lives will be better. It’s better.”
"But now the Northern Expedition is difficult."
"Why?" Wang frowned.
"Says he has no money."
"There is no money in the court?" Wang was puzzled.
"When the army moves, it costs a lot of money and food. They say that the officials are unwilling to use the money and food next year and the year after that, so there is a shortage."
"..."
Wang said with a sad face: "If we can recapture Youyan, we won't have to worry about the Liao people going south again in the future."
"Yes!" Ye Laoer now hated his unreliability in the past, so much so that he had to explain it carefully to his wife when he wanted to spend some money. "Shen Longtu came up with an idea, saying that he wanted to borrow money from the world..."
"Loan?" Wang was a little confused.
"Yes, the annual interest rate is two cents, which is one cent more than what we save in the bank. It just has to be paid off in three years."
Wang looked at Ye Laoer and said seriously: "If this is the case, we will borrow 10% of it!"
Ye Laoer didn't expect his stingy wife to be like this, and was stunned for a moment.
Wang patted the dough hard and said solemnly: "Guanren, this official is different. He treats us well! We should support such an official when he does things! Besides, what a good thing the Northern Expedition is? The official doesn't You are willing to misappropriate money, obviously it is for us..."
"Well, that's what my husband thinks." Ye Laoer rarely looked so serious, "It's just that you used to be stingy, why are you so generous today?"
Wang took a deep breath, "I don't think much, I just think who is good to us, then we should be good to him, that's it. Whoever is good to this Song Dynasty, we will support him!"

The fourth update is here, good night!
