Chapter 23: Loans to North Korea
When the two said this, the atmosphere changed and became warmer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Cui Mingji and Yao Yu were relieved when they heard this.
"It's just a little vain, but now Gu is working for the country, and the past has been done. Fenglin Dajun, I won't tell you a secret. Recently, our Training Department has been studying the reform of the Army Academy. Now that the Great Army has won the war, the integration of training that had been delayed due to various problems has also been put on the agenda. The army school has also begun to take turns to train officers and men, and has held various refresher training courses. To this end, the Governor has also conceived a new project, which has been approved by the Cabinet and the Privy Council. That's what it is...... Overseas dispatch class. Gu Yanwu spoke eloquently, and soon made Li Yuhao concentrate and listen carefully.
"What does Master Gu mean...... Let Xiao Wang go to the Daming Army School for further study? Although Li Yuhao was quite moved, he restrained this emotion very rationally.
He understood that once he entered this overseas dispatch class, he would not have enough time to compete for the throne.
However, when he thought of the scenes he saw in the past when he saw the strong army of the Ming Dynasty, and looked at the strong soldiers, he still couldn't help but itch, only to feel that a fire was burning in his chest, and if he couldn't get it, he would regret it.
"If the son of the world has a heart, then it must be a priority." Gu Yanwu said slowly: "But the overseas dispatch class, as the name suggests, is the direction of overseas dispatch. For example, in the future, if another country wants to seek help from the suzerain. Officers who have already trained here can be sent to support the country. Similarly, nationals of vassal countries can apply for further training and then return to their home countries to serve their families. ”
"I see, Xiao Wang understands. Is there a precedent? Li Yuhao suddenly realized.
"The prince of Ryukyu Kuniko has already entered the school for further study. Therefore, this time I heard that the Lord of Fenglin was also coming, so I hurried over. Gu Yanwu smiled again.
Li Yuhao couldn't hide his surprise: "In this way, Xiao Wang plans to ......"
At this time, Cui Mingji pulled Li Yuhao hard.
He was really worried that Li Yuhao would get dizzy and go to study. Even if it wasn't Li Yuhao going, it would be a bit troublesome for others to go. As the son of Joseon, of course, there are many names in the bag. Among them, there are also officers and men in the army. However, there are very few famous generals like Lin Qingye. Most of these officers and men are not even qualified, but can only be said to have some strength in the army.
At this time, if Li Yuhao's descendants can be sent to Daming for further study, and after returning to China, a group of strong troops will be trained, how can Li Yuhao not feel more at ease?
It's just that Cui Mingji's pulling made Li Yuhao quickly remember the previous question again.
Lack of money.
In this world, no matter what it is, it costs money.
Looking at Zhu Cihong's pricing and Gu Yanwu's appearance, this is obviously not a move to enroll for free. It is not as good as the preferential treatment of international students from Peking University and Tsinghua University in later generations, and it is as unhindered as stilt classes every day. This year, it is a gift to give the opportunity to enter Daming. You don't see, the Ming Dynasty is the cultural center of the Confucian cultural circle. Whether it is Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese, we must look at it with a sense of pilgrimage. How can this kind of opportunity still be free?
Thinking like this, the expression on Li Yuhao's face darkened a little.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong finally stopped being silent, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, come on, come on, Fenglin Dajun, Cui Qing's family, I'll introduce you to one more person." This one is the president of the Central Bank of the Empire, Xu Huanwu. ”
"I've seen Lord Fenglin and Lord Cui." Xu Huanwu got up and saluted the two, he had been silent, and there were few people in the financial system here, except for Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu, no one understood the identity of this one.
"I've seen Lord Xu." After a while, listening to the duties of this person in front of him, hope rose in Li Yuhao's heart.
At this time, Xu Huanwu took out two documents with a smile.
"Please also let the lower officials solve problems for the prince." After that, Xu Huanwu first handed over a document, on which was written a plan to aid North Korea for loans.
The so-called aid loan is a loan issued by the Central Bank of the Reich to North Korea.
Moreover, Xu Huanwu is quite generous, and as soon as he makes a move, he will take out a loan of one million yuan, which is equivalent to one million taels of silver. You must know that now that the DPRK treasury has been fully withdrawn, it is absolutely impossible to control the huge amount of money of one million taels in its hands.
In other words, as long as this loan should be made, all the financial difficulties can be quickly resolved.
When the time comes, don't say anything about sending students to school, even if you buy twice as many ordnance, there will be no problem!
Such a good thing almost made Huanxi break Li Yuhao's mental defense.
But this time, Li Yuhao didn't need Cui Mingji to remind him, and he also realized the problem. In the world, there is never a pie that falls plainly, and if there is, you must always be afraid that there are traps and bait hidden in it, just wait for a catch to catch it.
Thinking of this, Li Yuhao used great perseverance to calm down his state of mind, and then took a deep breath and looked at the plan carefully.
Sure enough, after calming down, Li Yuhao soon saw the key words: "Annual interest rate ...... percent Five? So...... It's so low?? ”
Li Yuhao looked at the low interest rate above in disbelief and shouted in surprise.
Zhu Cihong listened to the first half of Li Yuhao, and thought that Li Yuhao was too much. Unexpectedly, Li Yuhao looked incredibly fine.
Compared with Zhu Cihong's rare accident, Xu Huanwu obviously made a lot more preparations, and said: "After all, this is an aid loan between the two countries, not the money made by those local tyrants and inferior gentry in the countryside." Fenglin Dajun, don't worry. ”
In these years, nine out of thirteen returns can be regarded as kind. Some Indian money was only two taels of silver when it was borrowed a year ago, but after two years, many loan sharks were able to roll over to two hundred taels of silver, and take the whole family's land and real estate, even their wives and children, and it was still not enough. Yang Bailao was forced to die like this.
Naturally, for borrowing, Li Yuhao's first concern is this problem.
If it was a loan shark, it was natural to understand why Daming would borrow a million taels.
But compared with the honest usury of the nine-out and thirteen, Daming's loan that only requires 5% interest is too conscientious.
Such a conscience made Li Yuhao even more at a loss.
Of course, this interest rate was set by Zhu Cihong, and Xu Huanwu did not dare to object.
Seeing this, Zhu Cihong was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Lord Fenglin, you might as well pay attention." This loan is paid in Daming Yuan. At present, the whole country is implementing a new type of treasure banknote, and the two countries will no longer use silver as a settlement tool. Even if you want to use silver taels, you have to convert the treasure banknotes before you can settle it. You have to think about this. ”
Zhu Cihong finally couldn't help but break through the critical point in this aid loan plan.
