Chapter 223： Fundraising

Hong Chengchou took the task. While happy, he was also a little worried.

This task is a test for him. A good job can be appreciated and reused by Wu Changqing, and a bad job may miss the best opportunity to rise.

Moreover, this task is actually not easy to do.

It is a bit difficult for ordinary people to believe in the court.

When Hong Chengchou returned home, he began to think hard, looking through various cases.

In the end, he chose to turn to Qian Qianyi and Wei Ziwen from the Ministry of Rites, hoping that they could give himself some help in public opinion.

A very important ability to be an official is communication. Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi, and Wei Ziwen don't have much friendship. However, after Hong Chengchou communicated with them, Qian Qianyi and Wei Ziwen both agreed to help.

This is Hong Chengchou's ability.

The next day, the People's Daily began to popularize the concept of national debt to the general public and officials.

If the national debt is interpreted as the court borrowing money from the people, then there are certainly not many people buying it, and no one likes to lend money to others, let alone lending it to a court that is countless times more powerful than yourself.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou forcibly changed the concept and interpreted the national debt as an investment behavior. It was Wu Changqing who pityed the world and wanted to lead the people to do business together to get rich.

This explanation cannot be said to be nonsense. An annual rate of return of 50% is indeed considered to be a business.

After changing an explanation, the people's interest greatly increased. After all, this is a profitable business. Moreover, the guarantor is Wu Changqing.

The people did not trust the court, but they still believed in Wu Changqing. This is the result of Wu Changqing's long-term adherence to the people, and the result of Wu Changqing's frequent speeches in front of the people, and the result of long-term public opinion propaganda by the people.

In a restaurant, several scholars drink and read newspapers together.

"Duke Guo wants to raise funds to expand the steel plant, and there will be 50% interest."

"This is a good thing. You must support it. Not only can you make a little money, but you can also make a contribution to the court. The more steel you produce, the more troops you can equip, and the more hopeful it will be to regain the north."

"No, the newspaper says that the steel produced is mainly used to make farm tools."

"This is not bad, at least it is a move that benefits the country and the people."

Some intellectuals, out of support for the regime, chose to purchase support.

On the Qinhuai River, some prostitutes also gathered to chat and read the newspaper.

There are two kinds of prostitutes, one is pure prostitutes called prostitutes, and the other is talented prostitutes called prostitutes. Prostitutes sometimes sell themselves, but they do not sell themselves easily.

Most prostitutes who sell themselves have no culture, but prostitutes are about the same as female stars in later generations. They are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their talents are not much lower than that of scholars.

The downside is that women cannot participate in the imperial examinations in this era, and women are better than men in rote liberal arts. If a woman can participate in the imperial examination, the champion would be fine with a man.

In short, these top prostitutes are not only very educated, but also like to pay attention to current affairs. Reading newspapers has become an important entertainment activity in their daily leisure.

Read the newspaper more, at least you can know which official is gaining power recently, and sugar daddy has to choose the target first.

"Wu Guogong wants to raise funds to expand the steel plant, and lend the money to the Guogongye with 50% interest until the end of the year."

The new generation of Qinhuai eight Yan Yang Xiaoxiao said in surprise.

Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan’s Qinhuai Bayans of the generation have already married as other women. Nowadays, the new generation is better than the old, and a new generation of Qinhuai Bayan has been launched on the Qinhuai River.

Among them, Yang Xiaoxiao, who is only sixteen years old, has been hailed as the first of the eight beauty. Not only is the appearance as beautiful as a fairy, but the one-handed pipa is even more exciting.

How many talented and wealthy businessmen spend a lot of money on her, it is impossible to count.

What's more, Yang Xiaoxiao received so much money and still remains a virgin. Among them, you can't do it without a wrist.

"If there is such a good thing, then can we lend money to Lord Guo, borrow one hundred taels, and get one hundred fifty taels by the end of the year?"

Another prostitute said that the rate of return is quite impressive.

Of course, the most important thing is because they have no other way to make money. These money can't be increased by keeping it in their hands or in the bank.

"Is this true? What if the court doesn't return it?"

Some people raised their concerns. Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials and lent money to officials. If the officials don't return them, they can only stare.

"This is the grandfather of the country who is borrowing money, how could he not repay it?

Yang Xiaoxiao retorted that she had never heard of Wu Changqing's bad things anyway, and every day she heard words and articles praising Wu Changqing.

"Yes, yes, Lord Guo is a very good official. If he hadn't invented the mirror and perfume soap, we wouldn't have made so much money."

.......

With Wu Changqing's endorsement, some small citizens with spare money tentatively bought a tael or a few taels of silver.

And some merchants are more courageous, with a dozen or two to several thousand taels.

Among them, the girls from Qinhuai River have contributed a lot, and each of them is a small asset. All they make are youth money, and they are all taking advantage of their youth to make money to provide for the elderly.

Therefore, their hands are much more generous than others.

In the past, these money were tightly held in their pockets, and they would not use it lightly.

But now, out of trust in Wu Changqing, they are very active in spending money to buy national debt. Verification of a sentence in Stephen Chow's movie, prostitutes are also patriotic.

In their words, anyway, all the money was earned from the perfume soap of the grandpa, even if it was a loss, it didn't matter.

Of course, to say so, the most important thing is that the current Nanjing business market is good, and most of the business is making money. The business led by Wu Changqing is even more profitable.

In less than three days, Hong Chengchou had raised 200,000 taels from the private sector.

Among them, merchants are the main force, and the girls from Qinhuai River have also contributed a lot.

In addition to this one hundred thousand, Hong Chengchou also raised one hundred thousand taels from officials. You don't need to ask them for it, directly according to the size of the official position, the salary is directly deducted from a certain percentage.

How dare the officials below not support the plan set by Wu Changqing. Even if they did not support it in their hearts, they resented Hong Chengchou, who proposed this plan, rather than Wu Changqing, who made the decision.

This is the same as Emperor Hongguang acquiesced to Ruan Dacheng to clean up the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party only dared to resent Ruan Dacheng and did not dare to say that Emperor Hongguang was wrong.

Just as Emperor Wanli used Wei Zhongxian's hand to clean up the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party only dared to resent Wei Zhongxian and could not scold Wanli for being mediocre.

And now, those who were originally unwilling to pay, secretly scolded Hong Chengchou for being a treacherous bastard.

Hong Chengchou doesn't care about this, anyway, as long as he can handle the errand Wu Changqing confessed, being scolded is nothing. When he surrendered to the Qing court in the past, he had already been scolded incompletely.

Now that he rebels again, he has no reputation for a long time. All he can do is to be Wu Changqing's lone minister.
