National debt.

When they heard these two words, they immediately pricked up their ears more than one or two.

In particular, a group of nobles and wealthy people in the capital gathered together for this purpose. They are all afraid of apportionment, so it is not impossible to return to extreme poverty at once. We have to sit down and think about it together.

If it was in the past, they would have chosen a restaurant, or they would have simply invited them to a manor or villa outside the city to discuss. But since the Champions Club, the most wealthy people have a fixed place for their meetings.

Zhao Shijiang put down the wine cup, "Even if Han San comes, he can't force people to buy his treasury bonds." What's more, he is no longer Han Shumi. ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to add a food seal?" The other clan opened cautiously.

"How is that possible?" Several people laughed at the same time. The face of the clan turned from white to red, and then from red to white.

"Shove it to him, and he won't dare." Zhao Shijiang said. "Cai Cheng has not yet achieved the national government, no matter how great Han Gang's credit is, his official character and qualifications are still a little worse."

"But Empress Taishang will definitely give Han Gang benefits." Another wealthy businessman interjected, "Today in the Chongzheng Palace, I just asked the two governments and three divisions to give an IOU. In the past so many years, how have you ever heard that borrowing money from the treasury requires an IOU? ”

"Han Gang is tantamount to forcing the two governments to do things. But the political hall is very happy, for the sake of the 600,000, but it doesn't care about being disrespectful at all. ”

"More than 600,000. Will you have less money to borrow from the inner treasury in the future? With an IOU as a backlog, you can borrow more money. ”

The members of the Champions Club got together to discuss the matter. The treasury bonds proposed by Han Gang will definitely only be used for borrowing from the inner treasury now. But in the future, this is tantamount to opening up another source of income.

"As long as you have an IOU, you can't run away. And how much more so is there a mortgage...... I don't know what it is, salt or tea. ”

"Don't run, just come to the hall and postpone the payment for a few days. It's not always like this in the past, you can't learn the good things, and it's easy to learn this bad thing. One sentence is all it takes. If Han Gang had the intention of doing this, he would definitely prevent this result. ”

"I've already inquired with Feng Si, and he doesn't know."

"Don't inquire too much, lest Feng Si's side be ugly. Han Shumi is a believer, and it is enough to believe in him. ”

Han Gang's character is believed by everyone present. There are already many examples to prove it.

Even though there are rumors that Han Gang has the wrong illness on the Emperor Taishang, the golden body of the disciple of the Medicine King is not so easy to break, and tens of thousands of children in the world go to get pox every day, all of which are the credit of Han Gang. The theory of ghosts and gods, it is said that Han Gang himself does not recognize it, but in the eyes of everyone, he is just thirty years old and the credit he has made is really unworthy, without the help of ghosts and gods, it is not a star in the sky, it is really unimaginable.

Han Gang's character, through Feng Congyi, has more or less understood. As long as you don't provoke him, it's easy to talk very well. Feng Si, who came forward on his behalf, had wealth from everyone, and it was never an exclusive one.

It seems that it is to leave a name for eternity.

Since that's the idea, it's easy to do.

Desireless, desireless, that's the hardest thing to start. The walls are thousands of feet, and if there is no desire, it is rigid. But as long as he has desires, whether it is wealth or power, or his current name, he can have the corresponding means to satisfy him.

It's just that what Han Gang wants is not a simple name, his reputation in the world is enough to be sufficient.

It is a remote village in Guangxi and Guangdong, an ordinary farmer, and it is also known that there is a bachelor surnamed Han in the imperial court, who is a star descending from the sky and a waiter in front of the throne of the Medicine King Bodhisattva.

But is this name what Han Gang wants? People don't care at all, and they don't even think it's troublesome. Didn't make a fuss.

Han Gang is seeking the name of Confucianism, the great fame of opening peace for all generations.

It is to set an example for the ages.

None of the clans and nobles present could understand this, but it was enough to know that this was Han Gang's goal.

Just follow the road, where to fight, judging from Han Gang's repeated achievements before, everything is according to his words, there will only be good things and no bad things.

"If it is a proposal from the political affairs hall, it should be bitter and perfunctory, and it should be perfunctory, so as to save the most embarrassing chickens and eggs, and be ridiculed." Zhao Shijiang did not hide his dissatisfaction with the political affairs hall, "If Han San presides, or can come out and say something clear, then there is money to hold a money field, but there is no money to support a personal field." There will always be some benefits to not losing money. ”

"Of course. If there is a senior minister of Xiao Han to preside, then you can rest assured. ”

Everyone in the hall nodded one after another, with Han Gang to preside, then there is no need to worry about anything. Their respective status is not low, and they have received a lot of money, but their identities are very embarrassing, and it is okay to talk about national politics, but when specific national policies are implemented, they are full of troubles and make people confused. Even from the perspective of ordinary people, they can only obey Han Gang's arrangement now. At least he won't make a mistake, and he will be misunderstood by Han Gang and treated as an enemy.

"But I still have to listen to what Feng Si has to say. This is how easy it is to support. ”

Zhao Shijiang shook his head, "Don't expect Feng Si, there is no news from the political affairs hall yet, nothing is clear, how could Han San say it to the outside world?" ”

"That's right. The king does not lose his country, and the minister does not lose his body. Senior Minister Xiao Han is smarter than anyone else, and he will not speak clearly to Feng Si, he will only play dumb riddles. ”

"Just know what you want. We can wait. Zhao Shijiang raised his glass, "We have a lot of time!" ”

……………………

"This treasury bond will never be confined to the inner treasury, and in time, it will definitely try to spread to the localities and forcibly apportion!"

"Which of the two governments does not know the consequences of the implementation of the national debt? Now he is just pretending not to know the way, waiting for Han Gang to write a letter to ask for implementation, or waiting for him to do it himself when he arrives in Dongfu. ”

Zeng Bu had already eaten at this time, and was slowly pacing in the back garden to eat. His brother-in-law, Wei Tai, followed him, and like many others, he was talking about the news that happened in the Chongzheng Hall today.

"I see." Wei Tai nodded. Even if he understands it in his heart, he won't show off much in front of Zeng Bu.

"Actually, just think about it." Zeng Bu looked very interested, "If it's just an IOU for Empress Taishang, why would Han Gang have such a big name as a national debt?" ”

"But it's hard to borrow. The court only hates less money, never hates more money, what if the court can't afford to change money in the future? ”

"As long as you can keep your credit, you can borrow more money. As long as you can borrow more money, you will be able to pay off your previous debts and interest. ”

"There will come a time when you can't borrow it and can't pay it back." Wei Tai seemed to be debating.

"How many years will that be?" Zeng Bu retorted with a smile, but immediately changed his words, "But then again, no matter how Han Gang arranges and plans now, it will be great if it can work for thirty or fifty years." ”

Zeng Bu went home and examined it carefully, and became more and more sure of what Han Gang wanted to do.

Han Gang killed many birds with one stone in the Chongzheng Palace today, the queen is grateful to him, and the Dongfu will also support him, Lu Jiawen just borrowed Wang Anshi's power to bully him, and he was immediately kicked down by Han Gang, and now no one dares not to look long.

As for Han Gang's deeper intentions, Zeng Bu felt that it was a little too idealistic.

Even if there is a distinction between inside and outside, in the future, the Son of Heaven will be authoritative, and how many Zaifu will dare to protect the treasury? As usual, you can still use as much as you want.

It is said that the Emperor Song Dynasty has been in power for thousands of years, but it is great to have three hundred years. A country is like a person, and it also has a lifespan.

Today's dynasty, speaking of life, is only halfway through, and there is still time. But if you look at the Han and Tang Dynasties, you can see that from now on, there will be frequent faint kings. From time to time, there may be a wise monarch and a virtuous minister, and it will not last long.

Zeng Bu just relied on changing the law to get ahead, and after the implementation of the imperial court law, he understood better than anyone what kind of situation would gradually become after the most difficult situation.

Everyone is going to die, and the good Fa will gradually turn into the Evil Fa after it is at its worst. The longer it is implemented, the more loopholes will be exploited. Sooner or later, it will not be able to be implemented. How can the law left by Han Gang be an exception?

"Thirty or fifty years is not too little." Wei Tai was still puzzled.

"Not a lot." Zeng Bu shook his head, "This can still be implemented, and there are many strategies that have been announced to the world but cannot be continued." ”

"Hmm. Yes, indeed. Wei Tai groaned and nodded in agreement, just the people and things he had heard about were quite a few.

"Do you still remember the water and sand attack that Han Gang proposed back then?" Zeng Bu suddenly stopped, held the bridge with his hand, and turned around to ask.

Wei Tai had heard it and was surprised: "This is also it?" ”

"Do you know where you're now?"

Wei Tai frowned and thought about it for a while, and then replied to Zeng Bu: "It seems that I have only passed the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

"Wrong, the Daimyo's Mansion is now only left with the outer embankment. After passing Baimadu, the inner embankment into Hebei was not repaired with much care, and in May this year, as soon as the flood season arrived, it was washed away. Zeng Bu broke the news to his wife and brother, "In fact, the inner embankment can really be said to have been repaired, only from Luoyang to Kaifeng." ”

"Why didn't you hear anything?" Wei Tai was surprised. The embankment of the Yellow River was washed away, and the Jingshi did not hear the news here.

"It's not that the outer embankment is destroyed." Zeng Bu sneered, "As long as the flood does not sink beyond the golden embankment, there is no need to mention some small things...... If he hadn't wanted Guo Kui to resign, this matter would not have come out again. ”

If the river defense of the Daimyo's Mansion is damaged, Guo Kui is indeed to blame, but after all, it has not flooded the outer embankment, and it has not flooded the prefecture and county, destroying lives, and the damage to the inner embankment is just a small problem of empty consumption of money and grain.

"Hebei is also a citizen of the imperial court, how can you be so favoritistic?"

"Eight years after Xining, there were frequent wars, and the Yellow River embankment was not repaired very seriously, let alone the inner and outer double embankments. The section from Luoyang to Kaifeng will be repaired, or for the sake of Tokyo City. ”

Not everything can be implemented. Han Gang was in Baima County, just for emergency, and as soon as he left, he returned to his original state.

Looking at the pond full of lotus flowers, Zeng Bu smiled in the night, with a thick mockery:

If it was so simple to implement and maintain the law, what was the hard work of changing the law back then?
