Qingzhou camp is full of people.
At this time, Xiao Ming, Fijian and others stood in the barracks and looked at all of them with a smile on their faces.
Pang Yukun said: "congratulations to your highness. I didn't expect that the atrocity of the king of Wei helped his highness to gather the people's hearts. Now the feudal government is united from top to bottom."
"It's a bit of a surprise, and it's not hard to explain. Now people don't want to go back to the time when they were bullied by the aristocrats." Xiao Ming pondered.
Fijian and Pang Yukun nodded. Fijian said, "although the people are angry, we can't recruit so many soldiers. The finance of feudalism can't afford it. The soldiers are expensive and the essence is not much."
Although Xiao Ming ordered the expansion of the army this time, more people came to sign up to join the army this time. However, it can be seen that during this period of time, national education for the people of the country has achieved initial results.
What can China and I do? Such numb words can no longer influence the thinking of the people.
"Yes, this time Yangzhou was slaughtered, our idea of obtaining a large number of materials from Yangzhou City failed. Even if we are now recruiting troops, our Treasury will be stretched." Xiao Ming asked.
Pang Yukun and Fijian looked at each other and sighed.
Xiao Ming was annoyed. The scorched earth policy of the king of Wei turned the war dividend into negative equity. Now he has to find a way to reverse the situation.
Thinking of this, he said to them, "I have an idea. I have money and grain in the Treasury, but the merchants and the people in Qingzhou have it. I am going to issue war bonds. As long as the people who buy war bonds can get the dividends of war booty in the future, what do you think?"
"War bonds?" Both Fijian and Pang Yukun were stunned.
Xiao Ming recalled that they didn't know what war bonds were, so he explained.
In fact, his war bonds are nothing more than Treasury bonds. It is only because they are in the period of war and the people have great confidence that he decides to issue war bonds.
Similar to Treasury bonds, the purpose of war bonds is to raise materials in advance. The strategic goal set below is to raise war materials in half a year's time.
In fact, he had already done this kind of thing. This was during the northern expedition, but only a few big businessmen benefited at that time. Now these businessmen almost monopolized the grassland of Yanyun Sixteen States.
Out of vigilance against monopoly capital, this time Xiao Ming did not invite merchants to raise money, but decided to issue it in the whole feudal state, so that people could get war bonds even with grain.
In this way, he could avoid being controlled by the war capital. After all, he didn't want to be controlled by the crazy war capital.
After a brief explanation, Fiji and Pang Yukun understood that the war bond was nothing more than borrowing money from businessmen and the people to fight. When they got the war dividend, they would return it to the people and pay interest.
Pang Yukun was amazed, and his head was shaking. He didn't know what Xiao Ming thought of this wonderful way.
If according to the normal system of Dayu state, the way for the government to have no money is very simple, that is to levy heavy taxes.
Now Xiao Ming did not consider this option at all, but directly adopted this mild method.
"Do you understand now?" Xiao Ming asked.
"I understand. When I get back, I will let the chamber of Commerce hang up the war bonds for sale." Said Pang.
Xiao Ming nodded, "but you have to control it and limit the quantity of purchase, so as not to make huge profits for a few businessmen."
Now Xiao Ming is no longer worried about the unification of the great Chongqing state, but with the reform of the feudal state, the social change may move to an uncontrollable stage.
With the development of the people's wisdom, all kinds of advanced ideas will be mastered by the people. What he worries about most is that the public opinion will be used by people who want to use it, which will lead to the separation of the country because of the ideas.
The most likely person to make use of public opinion is the big capitalist. Now Qingzhou is just in the embryonic stage of capital. Once he unifies the state of Dayu and enters the sea, capital will grow rapidly like a runaway wild horse. How can he tame this beast?
After all, it is not as easy to maintain stability as it is in modern times when information is blocked and backward.
Having said this, Xiao Ming remembers that Princess Pingyang came to the palace yesterday and talked about the royal family. He was with Princess Zhenfei at that time. Princess Pingyang brought up this matter after she gave her a gift.
So he asked, "what do you think of the royal clan in Qingzhou this time? Now they want to ask for money at all. "
When Fiji heard the words, he immediately looked at his nose, nose and heart and pretended to be confused. He was an old fox and didn't want to offend these people.
Pang Yukun said: "Your Highness, you can't support these Royal clans for nothing any more. Since emperor Gaozu, the number of Royal clans in the state of Dayu has reached more than 100000. The sacrifice of these 100000 people has become a heavy burden on the national treasury. If your highness wants to support these people, the feudalism will soon be dragged down."
Xiao Ming thinks that this reminds him of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, these royal families were also a heavy burden on the imperial court, but the Ming Dynasty would rather support them than let them support themselves."Feizhongshu, what do you think?" Xiao Ming looks at Fiji. He doesn't believe that the Duke of Tang and the Duke of Rong have never visited Fiji.
Compared with Xiao Ming, these people are more familiar with Fiji, Luo Quan and others.
"Your Highness, the number of royal family members in Qingzhou City is very small. In fact, there are only over 1000 people. The others are distributed in all parts of the state of Dayu, but these 1000 people are of high rank." Fiji said.
Xiao Ming actually wants to force Fiji to say what he thinks, but now it seems that Fiji is in favor of supporting these people.
"Feige old man, you know exactly how much money there is in the Treasury now. Aren't you making trouble?" Pang Yukun naturally heard the implication of Fiji.
Fijian was calm as usual. With a sigh, he said: "Pang Shoufu, don't worry. I naturally have the truth to say that. These people can't let them starve to death in the street. After all, they fled all the way to Qingzhou. They don't know each other well. They are all relatives of his highness. Even if his highness doesn't pay to support them, they have to find a way out 。 What's more, it's also for your highness to ascend the throne smoothly in the future. After all, these people are needed to preside over the worship of the ancestral temple. At this time, they are more important. Besides, with the support of these people, your Highness's throne can be more stable. "
Xiao Ming looks at Fiji. After all, Fiji's thinking still stays at the level of family management.
