There is no special reason, Lu Zhe found that his previous actions were ridiculously wrong, and winning the foreign war was the benefit of the Qianshou, but although the Qianshou was happy with the benefits he got for nothing, he was not too touched by what to do after he was happy.
To put it bluntly, it is gratifying to win foreign wars, and everyone is happy to send money and goods to rulers because of the victory in wars, but the benefits brought by the war are obtained in vain, and there is no great impact at all.
This is the same principle as farming, and it is precisely because the farmers care about the growth of the seedlings at all times after sowing the seeds and put their heart and effort into them that they are full of enthusiasm when they harvest.
Without giving, getting is getting; If you give something, you will only be happy from the heart when it is harvest season.
It's not too late for Lu Zhe to realize his mistakes, since he has realized it, he naturally wants to change it, it's better than knowing what was wrong and dying unrepentant for the sake of face, isn't it? He thought of modern war bonds, although it was too discordant to make this thing in BC, and I don't know if the regime under his leadership had the kind of credit to make war bonds, but it would not lose a piece of meat if it tried.
War bonds were one of the methods that Lu Zhe came up with to get all classes to participate in the war without being on the battlefield, and the first target was those merchants who were greedy by nature.
The current social status of the merchant class is not low, but because the Tian and Lu clans did those things in the past, the rulers are afraid and no longer provide them with protection, and they have not had much security since then.
In order to hug their thighs, the merchants don't mind gambling once, for their class, wealth is naturally important, but it is better to take out some savings and sell the ruler, so it is even more important to hold a ruler who is willing to wage war for them.
The amount of war bonds issued by Lu Zhe is not too much. That's 30 million and a half taels. And he seems to have miscalculated the determination of the merchant class, and the amount of 30 million was actually eaten up by the merchants who were summoned before he was sent out of the palace.
The merchants who bought the war bonds had their own reasons, not to mention that they even shouted out that they had gone bankrupt to contribute to the Han king's military funds, and the businessmen who could get mixed with the big businessmen would not be brainless fools. They knew very well in their hearts that there might be twists and turns in the war between Han Qi, Yan, and Zhao, but the final victory would be the Han army, which had been preparing for three years to send troops to the north.
What the? King Han used a pile of paper to cheat 30 million and a half taels? It's an idiot to think so! At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was the time to ensure the country's credit, and if something went wrong, the country's credit would go bankrupt because of temporary profits. What's more...... There is no shortage of wealth in the Han Kingdom, so there is no need to deceive anyone. They know that.
The merchants went out of the palace and went back, they themselves were representatives of various chambers of commerce, and after they went back, they must gather everyone to give a result, and they talked about the war bond in addition to what they saw and heard in the palace one by one.
is still the same sentence, people who can earn a large share of the family business will not be fools, and things that others can understand, even if they are slow to react and look at other people's faces and think about it carefully, they should always be able to come back to their senses. Then the people who didn't buy it immediately became anxious, and they asked if there was anything else to do?
Lu Zhe was also worried when he learned that the amount of 30 million was sold out before he left the palace. He did not put out the war bonds to collect money, but on the contrary, he tried to get the whole people to participate, so that some of the people under his rule could interact with the war that would take place in the north, and those businessmen who saw that they were profitable were all covered at once. If you are short of money, it is naturally gratifying, but now it is a troublesome thing.
Originally, Lu Zhe didn't expect that those businessmen would be all-inclusive after a short period of thought, so he didn't remind Yan Bi and Lu Jia of anything. After finishing his thoughts, he wondered, "Add another 70 million, of which 10 million are for the merchant class." Fifty-five million were for nobles and officials, and five million were for the heads of the guilds. Aristocrats, officials, and businessmen limit the purchase ceiling, but do not use it. What is the upper limit. It is up to the ruling government to operate. β
Yan Bi and Lu Jia, who sold the amount of 30 million at once, were originally very happy, but when they saw their king, they seemed to be worried and a little confused, so Yan Bi asked: "Lord, aren't we selling this thing to get money from them?" Isn't it better to sell as much as possible, as quickly as possible? β
"It's not that I'm not ready to cash out if I'm sold, 30 million needs to be cashed out, 33 million needs to be cashed out, and 100 million yuan needs to be cashed out 110 million!" Lu Zhe suddenly felt that he had a toothache, no matter how short of money in modern warfare, it was only five percent interest, and he took out ten percent interest like a loser because he was worried that he would not be able to play with new things, but he didn't expect ......
"Huh?" Yan Bi and Lu Jia were stunned directly, they didn't understand the operation, and they really thought they were robbing money before.
After staying for a moment, Yan Bi reacted first: "Lord, what are you...... Is this looking for a way to send money again? β
Lu Jia's eyes were rolling, he was already calculating how much money he had left now and how much he could buy. Obviously, a smart person should be smart, make sure that he does not lose money and does not break the law, and he is a fool if he does not share the pie.
Of course, Lu Zhe could see what Lu Jia was thinking, and he covered his cheeks with a little toothache: "Of the new 70 million bonds, 50 million of them will be kept by Nanjun, and the other 20 million will be distributed to the counties." β
Shang Jia was propagating the war in accordance with the spirit of the contract, and during the period, he did not forget to vaguely say that the King of Han was angry this time because Shang Jia was attacked.
In addition, the news of war bonds became more and more widespread, and some merchants who did not buy them either reacted quickly or slowly, and gradually realized that it was the ruler's change of way to give money, and immediately became active again.
What the ruler likes must pay attention to, this is an eternal truth, and under the premise of making sure that there is no loss, how can they not be crazy?
The merchant class also knew very well that it was rare to meet a ruler who was not so repulsive to the merchants, and it was necessary to hug the thighs of the king, and as soon as they hugged them, they directly hugged the king's thighs, which was not a good thing from time to time.
At the same time, the matter of calling for the issuance of additional war bonds happened, and at first the merchants did not publicize the war bonds to the head of the Qian, but later there were people who understood that they must publicize it, this is not a beautiful thing that the merchant class can monopolize, it is the ruler who is engaged in what is called the war dividend plan, but don't be greedy and provoke disgust.
Lu Zhe found a reason to send money too many times, and the Qianshou of the Han Dynasty had long been accustomed to the generosity of the ruler, and when they learned that there was going to be a war, they were vaguely looking forward to how many dividends they could get from the government this time, and they didn't think that this time the ruler would change his tricks.
What's that thing called a war bond, isn't it? Although it was said that it could only be exchanged after the end of the war, I heard that if you buy ten, you can increase one, and even if you buy only one, you can get two small five-baht coins.
Ah! One and a half taels is equal to seven five-baht coins, so it seems to take a lot of advantage?
There was a rumor behind them, it was their ruler who was loving some Qiantou who was not well-off, what was that thing called? Oh, yes! It's a special love for a special person -- it's a special care.
Does that thing really make money? Not everyone believes in this kind of weird thing, after all, there is no precedent!
But, but...... If it is said that the king of Han is cheating people, it is unreasonable, the king of Han will give money for nothing if he has anything to do, or the whole people give it away, not like a king who is short of money.
For a while, the matter of war bonds became a matter of more attention than the upcoming war against Qi, Yan, and Zhao, and when ordinary Qianshou hesitated to buy it, a thing that didn't know whether it was funny or disdainful came out.
Because of the restriction on the amount of purchases, a businessman actually drove his eldest son out of the house, and then this son set up a new business name on his own, and used the new signboard to buy enough according to the quota. This is not the end, after the businessman dismissed his eldest son, he drove all his sons out of the house, such as the second son and the eldest son, and changed the method to let them buy according to the prescribed amount.
Kaige, that is, they don't recognize blood relatives, and the sons of those merchants can't worship their ancestors, and such things are very strict in the patriarchal society. But some people did this in order to compete for war bonds, which is enough to show that this matter can indeed be profitable.
For the sake of money, the businessmen are really some shameless guys, and what is even more shameless is that after the purchase, the family has become a family again, I really don't know what to say.
Fuck, I really can't play the "ancient people", these guys' minds are too lively - at this moment, Lu Zhe not only has a toothache, but also a little stomach pain.
Before anyone could follow suit, the government took emergency measures to make it mandatory for newly separated families to buy them, but if they returned home after the purchase, the bonds they bought would be forced to be repurchased by the government. At the same time, because there were no relevant regulations before a businessman did so, the government considered it "unaccountable" and would not take legal measures against a businessman's family.
Well? The restriction and then the non-prosecution because there is no law fully demonstrate that it is indeed profitable to issue war bonds, and it also reflects the government's attitude of firmly ruling the country by law.
The head of Qian, who was still a little hesitant, was moved, and they were just about to take action, but they heard a lot of news that the nobles and officials of the country had bought all the war bonds according to the quota.
At this moment, there is no need to have any doubts at all, and Qianshou has also joined the rush to buy.
The 100 million war bonds were sold out in three months, and although 55 million of them were for the nobles and officials, 40 million for the merchant class, and 5 million for the Qianshou, LΓΌ Zhe certainly found that the various classes of the Han State paid more attention to the war that was about to break out.
He thought to himself, "With this different method of responsibility and obligation, this can achieve the goal, right?"
