Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

“The minister leads the decree, thank you for your gratitude.” Yang Chendong bowed and bowed twice.

I just took the order without making any guarantees. Zhu Qiyu sighed in his heart, knowing that just granting military power is not enough at this moment, and it is time to state the agreed conditions. Otherwise, it’s just as dangerous if you don’t work hard.

The gaze first glanced at the group of Small Officials and then fell on Yang Chendong, “This time he attacked the side and approached the capital, making the capital in danger, everyone is in danger. The price has soared and the value of gold and silver has shrunk in a large area, which has caused the people to panic. I feel that this is not only the reason for the new defeat of Emperor Yingzong, but also the profiting from somebody’s misfortune of private businessmen. There is a relationship. In this regard, I decided to open a private bank, Marquis of Zhongdan. I would like to hand over the great responsibility to you and ask you to stabilize the price of the capital in the shortest time. I wonder if it can be done?”

Let鈥檚 talk about the situation of the Jingshi first, and don鈥檛 forget to talk about the Emperor Yingzong’s defeat, and then talk about the establishment of a private bank and consult Yang Chendong. The occurrence of this scene gave the ministers a sense of impeccable response.

Only Yang Chendong’s face was indifferent. He had expected such a result a long time ago. This was originally a negotiated matter. As Zhu Qiyu thought, if he only gave himself military power and no other benefits, he might also protect the capital from loss, but that’s all. But if he gets enough benefits, he will fight beautifully in this battle.

Three bows and three bows, this time Yang Chendong鈥檚 face finally showed a little gratitude, “The minister is willing to build a Bank and make due contributions to the economic development of Great Ming and the stability of the country. At the same time, the minister intends to change the bank’s name to Yang Family Bank, and will pay 2,000,000 taels of silver to the State Treasury every year for business tax. Please also His Imperial Majesty’s approval.”

“Sigh!”

The sound of suck in a cold breath rang in the hall. As for the establishment of a Bank and the change of its name to Yang Family Bank, many people have not figured out what happened. But there is one sentence that I heard very clearly, that is, a Bank is willing to hand over 2,000,000 silver taels to State Treasury in one year, which is equivalent to half of the annual agricultural tax. What a number this is, and it is also money that many officials can’t make in their entire lives or even a few lifetimes, but Yang Chendong has easily promised it out. How can it not be shocking?

“Really!”

The most surprising is His Imperial Majesty Zhu Qiyu.

I don鈥檛 know that Chai Mi is expensive if I鈥檓 not in charge. The same applies to His Imperial Majesty.

Originally just as a Prince of Cheng, Zhu Qiyu just saw His Imperial Majesty’s majestic and prestigious look, echoing every other way. But after becoming His Imperial Majesty, I learned that no one country can do without a word of money. A natural disaster needs money! It takes money to build water conservancy! It takes money to build the city! It takes more money to raise officers and soldiers.

In short, if you want to be the emperor of Enlightened Sovereign and become an Enlightened Sovereign praised by everyone, you need countless money to solve everything and strive to satisfy more people. This is a His The tasks of Imperial Majesty.

Although the rule of Renxuan is in front, the State Treasury can be considered ample, but a lot of money was spent in the first battle of Tumubao, and then after the defeat, it was just to care for the officers and soldiers. I don鈥檛 know how much money is needed. silver. When the two emperors rule under the same rule, the income of a country is divided into two. As a result, it is foreseeable that there will be more income and less expenditure in the future. And if you want to become a real generation of Mingjun, the task of national unification is inevitable. It is very likely that you will come to Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qizhen with a knife and a knife. If you want to fight, you don’t know how much money you need.

In this way, how to generate income has become the focus of future work tasks. At this time, Yang Chendong stepped forward and said that setting up a Yang Family bank would be able to send 2,000,000 taels of tax and silver in one year. How could this not make Zhu Qiyu feel irritated and ecstatic?

A Yang Family bank can pay 2,000,000 silver taels in one year. If there are ten such banks, doesn鈥檛 it mean that the cost problem is solved, and can you deposit more silver taels in the State Treasury?

When he was happy in his heart, he not only exclaimed in a gloomy manner.

“cough cough.” Jin Ying, who was standing by the side, coughed softly, reminding Zhu Qiyu that he was going to lose his attitude in front of the temple. At this moment, Emperor Jingtai also reacted, and then quickly made a compensatory action, “Okay, very good, now that Marquis of Zhongdan is so confident, I will deposit two 500,000 in silver first.”

Deposit 500,000 silver taels. For an emperor, simply can’t be considered. This is just Zhu Qiyu’s support for this matter. That’s all

“many thanks His Imperial Majesty Become the first deposit customer of Surname Yang Bank, and the minister will give you a monthly interest of 0.445, which means that the monthly interest of 500,000 taels is two thousand two hundred and five 10 silver taels.” Yang Chendong is turning his mind quickly. , Gave the answer quickly.

Save money at a monthly interest rate of 0.45, which is 100 silver taels, and a month鈥檚 interest is four hundred and fifty dollars; for 1,000 taels, four, two, five hundred dollars a month, 10,000 taels It is 45 taels.

This kind of deposit interest is still very high, at least higher than Modern Bank’s current interest. Then this naturally became a great temptation, making the other ministers who heard the result all their eyes shined in this brief moment.

500,000 silver taels has a monthly interest of more than two thousand silver taels, which is enough for many Great Family people to spend two or three months or more. Although there are few of them with so many deposits, 50,000 taels should always be available. In this case, depositing in Surname Yang Bank will have more than two hundred taels in one month, no matter how you look at it. suitable.

Not only was the important minister shocked by this result, but Zhu Qiyu was also shocked by Yang Chendong’s words. “Marquis of Zhongdan, do you know that there is no joking in front of the king?”

“Of course, the minister knows that His Imperial Majesty just prepares the money. After winning the battle to defend the capital, Yang Family Bank will It was quickly established. At that time, His Imperial Majesty would just send someone to send the money, and then pay interest month by month.鈥?Yang Chendong said confidently.

Although it seems that the interest on this deposit is indeed not low, it can’t be considered compared to the loan interest set by him. As a modern person, he certainly knows that money only plays an important role in circulation. If everyone saves money and does not stimulate consumption, the pace of society’s desire to move forward will be much slower.

Yang Chendong said eloquently, Zhu Qiyu naturally believed in eight points, and said in front of the ministers: “Okay, then I will wait for the opening of Surname Yang Bank, hahaha !”

With Zhu Qiyu’s laughter, this time Imperial Court Assembly Perfection is over. Only when the officials walked out of the hall, not at all, a few people showed a relaxed expression. One is that they are still wondering whether Yang Chendong, who is less than 20 years old, is really capable of protecting the capital, and the other is that the opening of the bank is really so profitable? If so, do they want to deposit money in it?

The ministers had their own concerns, but Yang Chendong did not leave with the ministers, but after witnessing the departure of His Imperial Majesty Zhu Qiyu, he was called aside by Jin Ying and discussed the next details. Things.

In a palace courtyard where Jin Ying rested, in a courtyard set on the water, the two sat facing each other.

“Marquis of Zhongdan, how about tasting the tea from my master?” Jin Ying smiled, and the next battle to defend the capital will depend on this man. Naturally, it is not a look at this moment. time. On the contrary, he has to wait for Yang Chendong to raise the conditions, which is the treatment of mercenaries.

Whether it is Zhu Qiyu or Jin Ying, they are very clear in their hearts. The reason why Yang Chendong is in charge is not because of his military talents, but because he can directly order that’s all mercenaries with new style firearms.

Yang Chendong himself also knows that pointing to the more than ten thousand city defense soldiers in the capital now is nothing at all. The battle still depends on the new army trained by oneself, even if this is the case, then of course you have to collect enough benefits, otherwise this kind of opportunity for the lion to open his mouth will hardly have this shop after passing the village.

“The tea is good, it seems that Eunuch Jin has good things here.” Yang Chendong has a bright smile on his face, and he seems very satisfied with Jin Ying’s hospitality.

Now that it is a negotiation, a relatively harmonious atmosphere is naturally crucial. It’s not a life-and-death fight between two enemies, but that’s all for money, which even more requires an excellent patience and a good atmosphere.

“hahaha, Marquis of Zhongdan is really overwhelming. This is just that’s all from His Imperial Majesty.” Jin Ying also raised her head and laughed heartily, writing her good mood Face. How can he not know that this time is an opportunity for Yang Chendong to benefit, and it is also an opportunity for himself to gain benefits?

Although there is a big difference in age between the two, they are both heart-like foxes. It is not too much to use a big fox and a small fox in the situation.

“Well, the rewards given by His Imperial Majesty are indeed the best.” Yang Chendong followed this remark and said with a slight feeling, and then led to the topic: “But I don’t know , This time using mercenaries, what kind of rewards will His Imperial Majesty have?”

Finally, when it comes to business, Jin Ying’s face is much more serious at this moment, “but I don鈥檛 know Marquis of Zhongdan How many mercenaries have been invited this time, and what percentage of the odds of defeating the army of Oara?”

If you don鈥檛 see rabbits or scatter eagles, it seems that Jin Ying is much more stable than Yang Chendong. Take the initiative in general.

Yang Chendong didn’t care about this. The mercenary is in his hands and the initiative is in his hands. As for who made the request first, it didn’t matter to him. Originally this was not an equal negotiation and transaction.

“Hehe, how many odds are there and how many mercenaries can be hired for help depends on how determined His Imperial Majesty is.” He picked up his teacup and took a sip, Yang Chendong neither fast nor slow, while speaking confidently.
