Chapter 1194 Financing

The support of the two is very strong.

This is a silver coin, not a copper coin.

Both of them also went back to help Zhang Yu work, and they would not do it in vain.

Didn't Mi Zhu help Zhang Yu, and then Zhang Yu went to Xuzhou Mi's house to live for a few days.

Although it was only for a few days, the benefits were very great, and it was an intangible bonus.

The two went back, and both of them had a lot of connections in the capital, and it was very easy to spread the news.

At the same time, Zhang Yu's court also immediately sent letters to the officials along the way.

In particular, there was a special person who immediately went south with a dozen fast horses.

Jiangdong and Xuzhou are important places, and the news must be delivered.

Now Zhang Yu's "conscription" is very heavy.

All the prisoners, both men and women, as long as they were able to work, were not locked up in the prison and went directly to the construction site.

There are a lot of roads to be built, some cities to be built, and now hundreds of thousands of people are needed to open the canals.

It can be said that in the whole of China, I am afraid that there are nearly 10 million people working on the construction site.

Even if a person pays a salary of one silver coin a month, it is ten million.

Coupled with the consumption of food and materials, there are no hundreds of millions of silver coins a month, and they can't be taken out at all.

The large amount of wealth that Zhang Yu seized from the major princes has been almost used.

Now we have to sell some land to sustain this huge consumption.

For the Ying Empire, this 30 million extra budget is now impossible for Zhang Yu to come up with, so he can only rely on the power of the people.

The news spread, mainly to arouse the ideas of major businessmen.

Zhang Yu directly issued bonds, but many people were willing to subscribe.

It's also an investment, and it also allows the canal to open as quickly as possible.

If it really takes ten years, they can't wait.

With additional funding, the canal can be opened at least five years ahead of schedule.

Now these businessmen also understand that Zhang Yu has no money.

The plate is too big, although there is a lot of income, but there is also a lot of use.

Some businessmen began to mobilize.

"I didn't say it, the pledge is voluntary, but everyone here must buy this bond, and the minimum must be 1,000 silver coins."

In Xuzhou, more than thirty businessmen were gathered, and one of the big businessmen proposed.

The people didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and the canal passed through them, which was of great benefit to them.

"My Huang family pledged 500 silver coins, and at the same time subscribed for 5,000 silver coins in bonds."

"My Li family invested a large amount of money last month, and they subscribed for 3,000 silver coins and donated 500 stone of grain at the same time."

"My Liu family, subscribe for 10,000."

More than 30 merchants expressed their stance one after another, and there were more than 200,000 silver coins in total.

They are just ordinary businessmen, not big businessmen.

More than 30 people said that these people all know the roots, and they probably know the situation of each family.

After a round of pledges, it is also very good to be able to make up more than 200,000 yuan.

The news slowly spread out, and in the capital, more than one million have been subscribed.

There are many big businessmen in the capital, some are waiting, and some have already made a move.

This time the amount is too large, it is a silver coin not a copper coin, and 30 million is not a small number.

But more businessmen are on board.

In Xuzhou, there were also a large number of businessmen gathered, and after Mi Zhu knew the actions of the Zhen family and the Qiao family, he directly subscribed for one million, and then donated another 200,000.

The merchants of Xuzhou are also very active.

Then some shipyard-related businessmen are also more active.

The shipyard is basically monopolized by Zhang Yu, but for the supporting industry, Zhang Yu did not do it.

For example, processing wood, as well as the need for some lacquer, glue and the like, Zhang Yu is through procurement.

At the same time, Zhang Yu began to hand over most of the boats to private capital.

Zhang Yu specializes in researching and manufacturing large ships, these are big ships that can go to the sea.

For small boats, although they can make money, they have not made much progress in terms of technology.

Zhang Yu let his craftsmen concentrate on the research and production of large ships, and constantly improve the process.

And this time Zhang Yu wants to open the canal, and a lot of ships will be needed to travel between the north and the south.

The inland rivers are all small boats, which are in great demand, and they will have a great interest, so they are also willing to promote the development of the canal.

This canal will damage large shipyards to a certain extent, and at the same time, maritime transportation will be affected to a certain extent.

But the large ships are in the hands of Zhang Yu, so they have little impact on the people.

If you go by sea, you can also go to inland rivers with lower costs.

The merchants of Jiangdong were even more excited, and the seasonality of this sea route was quite strong, and in winter, it would take a lot of trouble to transport goods to the north.

So, in this way, they prefer to transport goods directly through inland waterways to the north.

In this way, many merchants along the road began to subscribe.

Zhang Yu only asked for 30 million, but he asked the bank not to refuse, and when the time came, he would be as much as he could.

If it is less than 30 million, then Zhang Yu will recruit fewer people, and if there are more, then get more people.

Anyway, Zhang Yu originally borrowed money or used other methods to repair it, but this time the businessman was willing to contribute, how could Zhang Yu not take advantage of it.

Many businessmen along the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal actively subscribed, for fear that Zhang Yu would not be able to scrape together so much money.

Very few pledges were made, after all, they were donated in vain.

However, the donation of one or two hundred silver coins per person adds up to a lot.

A large amount of money was sent to the bank, and the bank did not need to transport the money to the capital, but directly allocated funds to the construction site at that time.

Zhang Yu's side is busy building the Grand Canal.

Recently, Shu Chuan and Ma Teng received a lot of negative news from Zhang Yu and were very happy.

In Shuchuan, Pang Tong has been collecting information about Zhang Yu, and many spies have been sent from all over the country.

Does this Zhang Yu want to abolish his martial arts? Giving up on this great situation?

"Rebellions" continue in various places, and there are even more troublemakers.

Zhang Yu's "tyrannical expropriation" broke out in many places, and I don't know how many conscripts were levied.

According to Pang Tong's statistics alone, the number of conscripts in all parts of the country is as high as about 20 million.

It's a very large force that affects an unknown number of families.

"Zhang Yu is really happy, when your people's grievances boil, then I will send people to light fires everywhere, and when the time comes, the smoke will rise again, and the huge empire can collapse in an instant." Pang Tong said.

Pang Tong's data is actually very wet.

Because the spies on all sides have not been able to obtain much valuable information for a long time, they have made false reports in exchange for credit.

Therefore, this makes the information that Pang Tong received very false.

Pang Tong naturally also took this situation into account, so he carefully analyzed that a piece of news may come from different sources.

Together, these messages are very credible if you remove some that are too different and some that are more or less the same.

Now, he has received news that within a day, there have been more than a dozen "rebellions", although the scale is not large, but if it continues like this for so long, it will definitely evolve into a greater danger.
