Prince of Chaos

Chapter 461 It's not a loss, it's my seed!

"really?"

Holding a bottle of sparkling water in his hand, Emperor Wanli looked at Zhu Changluo in shock.

Zhu Changluo replied, "Father, it's true."

After hearing Zhu Changluo's affirmative answer again, Emperor Wanli's small eyes immediately burst into sparkling brilliance, and then he took another sip of sparkling water and said, "It turns out that you can still make money like this, I have learned."

Hearing Emperor Wanli say that he had learned it, Zhu Changluo felt black.

What did you learn?

Zhu Changluo quickly explained: "Father, this money is not earned, but borrowed."

Emperor Wanli waved his fat hand, "It's okay to borrow. I don't know how much money I lent to the Department of Mutual Accounts. I understand this."

Looking at Emperor Wanli's expression, Zhu Changluo knew that Emperor Wanli had misunderstood.

However, Zhu Changluo didn't intend to explain.

After all, economics is a brand new subject, and even Zhu Changluo himself knows only a little about it.

It was only because of his foresight that he was able to barely operate to the point of opening a bank to issue national bonds.Otherwise, even if he was allowed to issue banknotes directly, the final result would not be any better than the precious banknotes issued by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Thank you, Father, for your understanding. I will definitely handle the matter of the national debt well."

Ever since Zhu Changluo told Emperor Wanli about the national debt.

Emperor Wanli was very excited. After seeing Zhu Changluo's national debt plan, his eyes lit up. Zhu Changluo's operation opened his eyes.

He worked so hard to collect mining taxes, opened a dessert shop, and sneaked into the sea to do business. He thought he was already the most profitable emperor.

However, Zhu Changluo's operation today was a vivid lesson for Emperor Wanli. It turns out that money can still be earned like this!
This way is really not too cool!
It's the kind that earns money while lying down, and doesn't have to worry about it.

Emperor Wanli looked at Zhu Changluo, and said, "I want to increase the size!"

Zhu Changluo was stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Wanli to say these words suddenly.

Zhu Changluo asked: "What size does the emperor want to add?"

Emperor Wanli said: "300 million taels is too little. I feel a little stingy! Since you have pledged the proceeds of Xishan Huangzhuang for the next five years, as a father, I can't let my son suffer such grievances. I want to increase the price! I plan to add 500 million taels of silver from internal funds. This time we will issue 800 million taels of national debt at once!"

"."

Zhu Changluo said: "Will the father be a little radical by doing this?"

Emperor Wanli said proudly: "What kind of radical is this? With such a low interest rate and such a long period of time, no matter how I count it, I will make money. I heard from Sun Xian that private loans are always returned. According to the agreement between you and the cabinet, the interest on the national debt we issued this time is only [-]% per annum. I may never catch up with such a good thing in my life, so I must pay more!"

Zhu Changluo finally understood that Emperor Wanli was interested in the low interest rate of the national debt.

In fact, Zhu Changluo could understand Emperor Wanli's thoughts.

After all, in the feudal era, although there were corresponding laws to protect private lending, the imperial court did nothing in terms of loan interest.

If there is anything to be done, it may be that when the dynasty is strong, the court will specially lend low-interest loans to the poor and poor people, allowing them to buy grain and tide over difficulties.

However, generally speaking, this kind of money is wasted money. If the court borrowed it, it was almost impossible to get it back.

Therefore, when Emperor Wanli knew that he had paid for the big family, he was really excited!

Zhu Changluo said: "Is the father so confident in the repayment ability of the Ministry of Households?"

After hearing Zhu Changluo's words, the sparkling water in Emperor Wanli's hand was no longer fragrant.

He almost forgot what a nasty government office the household department is!

Over the years, the household department has been crying poor, and has been owed money and has not paid back. Whether it is with him or with other officials, the household department has no credibility at all.

Therefore, Emperor Wanli calmed down instantly.

Emperor Wanli said: "You can do it as you see fit. Don't be fooled by the Ministry of Accounts. The Ministry of Accounts still has money, but it's too picky. I won't increase the price this time. 300 million taels is 300 million taels." .Solving the North Korean issue as soon as possible is the most important thing.”

After hearing Emperor Wanli's words, Zhu Changluo replied, "Yes, father."

Zhu Changluo really understood Emperor Wanli's thoughts too well.

Emperor Wanli is a typical example of taking advantage of advantages, but when he hears of risks, he will take two steps back.

When Zhu Changluo lifted the household department like this, Emperor Wanli immediately felt that it really seemed that he couldn't increase the size.

The Ministry of Households earns more than 700 million taels a year, if it pays 800 million at once.

I don't know when it will be until the Ministry of Accounts returns the money.Moreover, if the household department is in a bad position, wouldn't the money be yellow?
Therefore, in line with the investment mentality of risk aversion, Emperor Wanli decided not to invest for the time being.

It is not too late to invest until the financial situation of the household department improves.

Seeing Emperor Wanli's tangled look, Zhu Changluo comforted him: "Father, you don't have to worry. According to my son's idea, if the 300 million silver is used properly, it will not only revive the tax revenue of the Ministry of Households, but also bring a huge amount of money to the court. source of wealth."

After Emperor Wanli drank a big mouthful of sparkling water, he said to Zhu Changluo: "You and the cabinet can figure it out. Remember, don't suffer! The Ministry of Households is an old man, and the money must be controlled in the in my own hands."

Zhu Changluo was really moved after hearing this sentence.

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not suffer. I will watch this money to death."

Emperor Wanli drank the last sip of sparkling water in the bottle, hiccupped, and said, "Then I can rest assured."

Zhu Changluo continued to push Emperor Wanli around Wanli Street.

Looking at the bustling Wanli Street, Zhu Changluo was extremely proud in his heart. It is all because of his hard work that this street can have the bustling scene it is today.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, lingering between the shops, Zhu Changluo suddenly felt that the prosperity was nothing more than that.

When he came to a store that was being renovated, Zhu Changluo stopped.

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, this is the Daming Royal Bank that will open soon. It will become the place where national bonds are issued. In the future, Daming's wealth will also be continuously gathered here. After the money is gathered here, we can continue to circulate Reciprocating use. At that time, not only will the silver not have to be returned, but it will also earn us more silver.”

Emperor Wanli looked at the huge facade in front of him and the decoration workers who were busy inside and out, and his heart became excited.

Emperor Wanli said happily: "I like this place. My son is still smart. It's no loss that he is my seed, and he has my wisdom and demeanor."

Zhu Changluo said: "This is all because of the good teaching of the father."

Zhu Changluo looked at the Daming Royal Bank that was being renovated, and he was also very excited.

This is an important step for him to change the future of Daming. If this step is completed, the fate of Daming will be rewritten.Like Li Zicheng and Nurhachi, even if they were given another 100 years, they would not be able to rebel successfully.
