Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1352
The use of national bonds to raise funds is not just for this war, nor is it a whim of Mujing, but has been in preparation for a while.

This is Mujing's temptation to Ming.

Mu Jing takes the Ming Dynasty as the basis, and firstly tests the people's hearts. The stronger the people's hearts, the greater the purchasing power of the people, and the weaker the people's hearts, the smaller the purchasing power.

This is the fundamental popular feeling. It is about one's own money and silk, which cannot be pretended, and it is difficult for others to influence. If money is not believed, they are not willing to hand it over to the Ming Dynasty.

Human nature has always been like this.

Once the national bonds are issued and can be borne by the common people, then relatively speaking, paper money will also appear in the future and may circulate in the world.

At present, one of the coins in circulation in the world is gold cakes, and there are few gold mines. No matter in prosperous times and troubled times, gold is the hard currency in circulation.

There is another one, which is copper coins.

The current copper coins, five baht coins are one kind, while the ones in the Ming Dynasty are Dahan Tongbao, which are all copper coins, with low value and large weight, and bulk transactions are traded in boxes of copper coins, which consume too much copper. .

Copper, itself is a metal reserve.

At present, copper is needed in many places, and once the economy develops in the future, more copper metal will be needed.

If the currency can be turned into the banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will be regarded as a real success and truly gain the trust of the people.

So this time, Mujing's preparations were not small.

Facing Hu Zhao's question, he answered carefully and fully, directly blocking all Hu Zhao's doubts.

Hu Zhao pondered for a while, and then looked at Mu Jing's expression. He already knew in his heart that Mu Jing's matter was probably not a simple whim, and the whole country was in debt to solve the financial crisis of this war.

I am afraid it is for the future layout of the New Deal.

It's just that he still can't see through Mujing's gourd, what kind of medicine is sold, but it doesn't affect his judgment on the national debt. This is a good idea to deal with the current situation.

After all, Mujing was right in saying a word, pulling Mingfeng Bank out at this time is indeed tantamount to killing the chicken and picking the egg.

Hu Zhao of Mingfeng Bank was very jealous.

The finances of the Ming Dynasty are indeed not very good now. If the Mingfeng Bank cannot be included, then using the channels of the Mingfeng Bank and the current financial reserves of the Mingfeng Bank are enough to solve many problems.

But he is not stupid, how can he fail to see the importance of Mingfeng Bank to the development of the entire Ming country, and he will not take back Mingfeng Bank unless he is forced to, or if there is no better opportunity.

"Since your majesty has considered it so carefully, a certain person thinks that we can try to release it to see if the people of our Ming country are willing to be with the country when our country is in danger!"

Hu Zhao thought for a while and said.

It's approved.

As soon as he said anything, the public participating in politics would naturally not disrupt the situation at this time, but seriously considered some detailed issues about the issuance of national bonds.

"If we want to borrow from the Ming Dynasty, how much should we issue?" Liu Jin asked a key question.

Too many people can't bear it.

Too little, and there's no point.

"What's your opinion?" Mu Jing glanced around and looked at the crowd. He did have a number in his heart, but he still wanted to see what kind of number these people could measure Mingguo in their hearts.

"Sixty thousand gold!" Qin Song spoke first.

But Mu Jing shook his head: "Add a zero!"

"60 million gold?"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

60 gold is equivalent to 60 billion yuan. This is not a small amount. To put it bluntly, if you sell the Minghou Mansion, you don't know if you can buy this amount.

"50!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be too high, it shouldn't be too low, 50 gold is equivalent to a goal for us in the Ming Dynasty. Although we have had some troubles in these years, we can ask the people what is right?" We have done our best, whether it is water conservancy construction, agricultural development, road development, or economic development. We have put in enough effort in all aspects. Many times we have to tighten our own belts and have to allocate funds for local development. Now it is also a test. Can the people Have even more trust in us!"

After a pause, he added: "And this is also a test of the new policy. The new policy was implemented last year. Although it took a short time, it has been implemented a lot. The new policy is not popular. It depends on their actions. Cuming Kingdom is not just talking about it, but also taking action!"

Now that he had reached the point where he had said, all the political participants had also calculated in their minds that with the current economic development of the Ming Dynasty and the living standards of the people, in fact, 50 billion yuan was not too difficult to bear.

It mainly depends on whether the people are willing to support the Ming Dynasty.

This is a good test instead.

"Then who will preside over this matter?" Everyone looked at each other. They had no such experience, and they didn't know much about the national debt situation.

"Let the household department host it!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "There are only a few of us in Zhaoming Pavilion, and there are too many things to take care of, which seems a little lacking in ability, but if you rashly promote people to Zhaoming Pavilion, it will appear that you are not responsible enough for the people of Ming Kingdom. After all, Zhaoming Pavilion is the decision-making place of the Ming Kingdom, which is related to the lives and deaths of millions of people in the Ming Kingdom, so I plan to promote a group of reserve political officials in Zhaoming Pavilion, who can enter Zhaoming Pavilion to attend and participate in politics, but they have no decision-making and voting rights!"

After a pause, he said: "Shangshu of the Household Department, Bao Su, has been working hard all these years. In the early years, it was possible to propose him to enter the Zhaoming Pavilion. Now I have to give him a chance to preside over it personally. With the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Mingfeng Bank , Well done, not well done, just look at his luck!"

Everyone is responsible for their own official career, and official career needs to be supported by merit. Those in the office, no matter on the surface or in the dark, they are all people who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so they can enter Zhaoming Pavilion to participate in politics. One of the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of the establishment of Zhaoming Pavilion, when it was proposed to participate in politics, it was the best time to step into this threshold. After that opportunity, if you want to step in, you need more meritorious service.

Otherwise, they cannot walk through this door.

"We should also give Zhonglin a chance!" Hu Zhao nodded, expressing his approval. After all, Bao Su and Qin Song were similar back then. One was the head of Dong Cao and the other was the head of West Cao. The cabinet participated in politics and made great progress, and he is not inferior to Qin Song in terms of ability, but his temper is not as calm as Qin Song, and he also lacks Qin Song's opportunity. Now that he is given a chance, whether he can grasp it depends on his own fortune up.

However, Hu Zhao is still a little worried: "But this matter itself requires a lot of influence. If no one of our Seventh National Congress participates in politics, it will not give the people much confidence!"

"I will personally take charge of this matter!"

Mu Jing said: "Looking at the Ming Kingdom, if you are not alone, no one will trust the Ming Kingdom!"

........................

The matter of the national debt has been settled in this way, and the next step is to see how to operate it. At this time, there are news coming back from the outside, and almost none of them are good news.

"The Youzhou Army gathered nearly [-] elite soldiers and horses. They entered Bingzhou from Youzhou along the Yanmen Pass, and went south along Bingzhou. The leader of the army is the third general of Yan State, Zhang Fei!"

"Hebei is gathering the main force to increase troops to Hanoi. Generals Ju Yi, Wen Chou and others have all entered Hanoi, looking down on the coveted Luoyang City from Hanoi!"

"The main force of Cao's army has already begun to withdraw from Guandu and move southward. The leading vanguard force, the Bingzhou Flying Cavalry led by Lu Bu himself, has entered Yuzhou. Why not go directly to the border of Nanzhou!"

"Part of Jiangdong's main force has gathered in Chaisang!"

"..."

Since the Son of Heaven called for a crusade against the Ming Kingdom, in just a few days, all the vassal states have already moved.

This time, they really wanted to exterminate the Ming country.

Perhaps there was a failed siege, but this time, they were more united. Their previous conflicts were actually hidden at this time.

This is something that makes Mujing's brain ache.

Don't be afraid of strong enemies.

I am afraid that the enemy will work together.

With one enemy and four, under such circumstances, there will definitely be a big gap in Ming's military strength. If the enemy is united and there is no gap left, then they can only fight tough battles.

"At present, do the princes of all parties intend to join forces?" Mu Jing asked Tan Zong of Jingwu Division.

"Temporarily speaking, there is no intention of joining forces from all parties. The mobilization of soldiers and horses from all parties clearly intends to fight on their own!"

Tan Zong said with a serious face, "But news has come out. Cao Cao is already preparing to form a coalition for joint operations. It may not be possible to invite the princes of the world to go with him, but it is no problem to invite the envoys of the princes. Even the princes will send their heirs to join the alliance on their own behalf, which should strengthen their unity!"

"Can you stop it?"

Mu Jing took a deep breath.

"It shouldn't be a problem to delay, but if you stop it, I'm afraid it won't be possible. After all, as long as they have the heart, such an alliance will definitely be possible!" Tan Zong said in a low voice.

"Then delay!"

Mu Jing squinted his eyes and said: "It's spring now, and the big battle is imminent, but they won't fight so quickly. Ming Guofei is not so easy to handle, and they will all be wary, but once the alliance is formed, with the support of the alliance, Naturally, they can let go of their hands and feet and launch an attack on us, so the longer the alliance is delayed, the better it is for us!"

A plate of loose sand is easy to deal with.

If they are united as one, it will be much more difficult to fight.

"promise!"

Tan Zong nodded.

He was also calculating in his heart, calculating what method to use to delay the time of this alliance.

Now that the Han Dynasty is in the world, the imperial court is in Xudu, and the place of the alliance should also be in Xudu. In Xudu, the strength of Jingwu Division is getting weaker and weaker. The Yelou is growing too fast, so Jingwu Division is somewhat restrained in doing things. of.

It seems that this time, we have to cooperate with You Si.

Jingwu Division is one with the outside world.

But internally, everyone knows that the left and right divisions do not interfere with each other, and they are still in a competitive relationship. Although the directions of responsibility are different, everyone knows that if Mujing can get more attention, resources will be more important. Will be a little more.

There is very little cooperation, and basically only when encountering big problems, will they unite as one.

"The Violent Xiong Sailor, do you have any news?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.

Zhuge Liang stood still, which made him a little restless.

The time for the various ministries to attack the Ming country is running out. If Jiangdong cannot be kicked out in advance, then the situation that the Ming country is facing is very unfavorable.

"Not yet, do you need me to urge them?"

Tan Zong asked.

"Need not!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, but still sank down. He knew very well that although Zhuge Liang was not very old, he was a calm person, and he would make the best preparations even if it was a risk.

If he urges him, it will increase the pressure on Zhuge Liang, which will not be good for Zhuge Liang's performance.

........................

Xiazhou in the Ming Dynasty, the former Jiangxia County.

Fankou Water Army Base.

The battleships of the Violent Bear Navy have already lined up here.

Over the years, the shipbuilding capability of the Ming army has improved a lot, and it has been able to manufacture high-rise ships. The two high-rise ships deployed by the Stormy Bear Navy, one is left behind by the former Jingzhou Army, and the other is the Yudu Shipbuilding Workshop of the Military Industry Department. It was built, and it was not long after the establishment of the Violent Bear Navy that it was launched into service.

The other is the two-toothed battleship.

This kind of warship, which surpasses the combat effectiveness of ordinary battleships, but does not have bulky and deep-draught warships, is currently the most powerful warship of the Violent Bear Navy.

The main force of the Violent Bear Navy is naturally the Violent Bear. This new type of combat ship is equipped with the latest weapons and can supply [-] soldiers to fight on the warship.

Inner warehouse, a spacious place.

This is the battle room of the Violent Xiong Navy. At this time, the officers of the Violent Xiong Navy, General Zhonglang, Sima of the left and right army, left and right soldiers, left and right masters, army instructors, and battalion school lieutenants all lined up left and right.

They held a sand table around the middle one and discussed it for several days.

In the end, Zhuge Liang made a final decision and finalized the battle plan.

Then began to issue military orders.

The military order was issued very fiercely, and soon, the tasks of each battle battalion were listed, even listed very carefully, which shows how carefully Zhuge Liang made this battle plan this time.

"Everyone!"

Finally, Zhuge Liang made a general mobilization: "This battle is a task entrusted to me by the king himself. It is also a danger that we must face after the establishment of the Violent Bear Navy. Maybe all of us will die in Jiangdong, but even if we are alone No one came back alive, we all have to complete the task, and we must live up to your majesty's expectations!"

"war!"

"war!"

All the generals are the generals of the Ming army, even if they surrendered and joined the Ming army in the past, but after staying in this system for a long time, they already have a centripetal force. After all, the treatment of the Ming army is the best in the world.

"it is good!"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, and he also had a fighting spirit in his heart. This battle will be the one that will make him famous all over the world. He must fight beautifully without any mistakes.

"Check the watch!" Zhuge Liang opened the pocket watch.

The officers of the Ming army were basically equipped with pocket watches. Now that glass has been developed, the pocket watches are more refined and accurate.

"Within sixteen hours, we must attack Chaisang!"

"It's down
