881. War Unit
Li Shimin just doesn't understand, how to calculate investment in this war, some people contribute money and some people contribute, this doesn't seem to be able to be calculated! However, this is definitely not difficult for Jingwen, Jingwen also relies on this to eat.
"Your Majesty, if we treat this war against Goguryeo as a business, and this investment needs to raise 10 million yuan. Of course, we not only have to raise 10 million yuan, but also have people to contribute, that is, the soldiers, as well as those who are responsible for logistics to help the soldiers transport supplies, grain and grass. These are to be counted, and in addition to their conscription, they can get a certain amount of war shares. As for this war stock, it is calculated according to the proportion of money and effort. ”
"We can issue two million shares for the time being, and one million of them will be for those who contribute. For example, those who go out to fight 100,000 troops can get two shares each, which is worth about 20 yuan. As long as they go on the expedition, it can be calculated according to the capital contribution of twenty yuan. As for officers of different ranks, they can also get higher shares, so that we can wait to find someone to continue the detailed calculation. And then those who are in charge of the rear service can also get a share of about ten dollars. As for those civil officials who organize the people, they can also get stocks accordingly, so it is okay to divide one million shares. ”
"I just talked about the people who contribute, and then let's talk about the people who contribute money, the people who really contribute to the military. We can also divide the 10 million yuan into 1 million shares, and then 10 yuan per share. And we can ask people to subscribe to these stocks, and then subscribe to one stock, which is equivalent to them paying ten dollars. In the future, after the war is won, we can pay dividends in proportion to the amount we pay. And the dividends are to let their stocks get a profit, so that we can gradually raise enough funds for the war! These contributions, in fact, are their investments, and the investment will naturally receive dividends. ”
And when Li Shimin heard this statement, it was equivalent to treating this war as a business. The people contributed money and efforts, which can be regarded as obtaining stocks. After that, those officials in charge of the war can also get stocks, so that when the war is over, they can pay dividends in proportion to their contributions. And high-ranking generals and officials will definitely be able to get more dividends, because they have more stocks. And a qiē can be calculated according to this share of shares, which is the basis for how much effort and financial resources everyone has made.
"In a war, those who invest can get a profit, and in the end they will definitely support the war. And in the end, those ordinary people who have not received the benefits will rush to participate in the war, to invest in the war. And when the time comes, the territories and riches we will gain will be innumerable! Isn't that a virtuous circle? Won't the people all have to play with their lives in the future to support the war? As long as the war can be profitable and the territory is expanded, it is enough for the people to support the war. Jingwen said.
And Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Then what can I gain?" ”
Li Shimin is still a little unhappy, because in the past, the emperor obtained the most spoils of war, but now he actually distributed the spoils obtained by the emperor to the people, which made Li Shimin feel a little lost.
"Your Majesty, the whole world is yours, why do you have to care so much about these riches? So, Your Majesty. You don't have to care about the wealth, all the people in the world are your people, and when they are rich, will the country soon be stable? And the country is stable. Isn't that your greatest wealth, Your Majesty? Jingwen said.
And Li Shimin finally recognized this statement, because the ancient emperors paid attention to the world, and the people's were theirs in their eyes, so the people were just keeping it for the royal family. Although it may not always be able to be taken at any time. But when the people became rich, they could use the means of regulation such as taxation, and then return to the hands of the state again. In this way, Li Shimin has nothing to say, and Li Shimin agrees with this.
"Your Majesty. The minister asked for the order to take the initiative to underwrite these war stocks. Chen's bank has many outlets, and can undertake the sale of these war stocks. When the time comes, the minister will definitely raise all the military expenses needed for the war, so that the emperor can clean up Goguryeo with peace of mind. Jingwen said.
"In that case, leave it to your bank! You must raise enough money, and then I will take the army to Goguryeo to avenge the revenge of my Chinese people. This Goguryeo is really bold, and it is really unreasonable to dare to use the bones of our Han fallen soldiers as a Jingguan. Li Shimin said.
And Jingwen smiled, his goal was achieved. Because the bank has begun to underwrite this war stock, it means that Jingwen can be said to have controlled the right to issue large-denomination currency in Datang, as well as the right to issue shares in the future. At present, the gold and silver coins of the Tang Dynasty are issued by Jingwen's bank, and the government is actually only responsible for the issuance of copper coins of small denominations. Now that Jingwen has taken the initiative to undertake this war stock, I am afraid that many of the stocks needed by the imperial court will also be issued by the bank, and as for the control of Datang's stock issuance rights in the future, this is a very fatal place. Although I can't see anything at present, maybe Li Shimin or even the court officials will not pay attention to it, but once a few decades have passed, after mastering these two rights, it means that the bank has taken control of the economy of the Tang Dynasty.
And this allows the people to invest in the war, this is actually not Jingwen Chuangzào. In later generations, those colonists in the West also engaged in the East India Company, and then they let the domestic nobles and common people invest, and then went to the East to develop colonies, and finally obtained proportional dividends from the profits. This is actually a very suitable system for colonization, which allows the people to continue to support the development of colonization and finally the expansion of the territory. Therefore, Jingwen is also used as the driving force for the development of the current Datang, and Datang is not a real righteous gentleman.
The Tang Dynasty's desire for territorial exploration. Wangke is very powerful, but it has always been difficult to make money, but now Jingwen has come up with this war colonial investment plan, which can completely allow the people of the Tang Dynasty to benefit from the war, so that the people will support the war.
"Hehe, I'd better issue the war shares first, maybe I can still make some money?" Jingwen thought secretly. (To be continued......)
