Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 134 The Crown Princess

"Fatal crisis?"

Chongzhen looked at Kang Wanwan with a half-smile.

"Yes, there is a fatal danger in issuing debt." Kang Wanwan was calm on the surface, but panicked inside. Daughter, daughter, father's life or death depends entirely on your words.

"Okay, then go in and talk." Chongzhen said.

After entering the doctor's hall of the Guozijian, Chongzhen dismissed Chen Zilong and other scholars again.

"Kang Weng, you can speak now." Chongzhen said, "What crisis?"

Kang Wanwan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a low voice, "The interest rate set by the Holy One is too high, and within four years there will inevitably be a run on crisis. At that time, the reputation of the Holy One and the internal funds will be seriously damaged."

Chongzhen just smiled when he heard the words, and it was not unusual to see this.

Many gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River may have seen it.

But they will still buy bonds because of the official land as an anchor.

There are two most important things when issuing bonds, one is credit, and the other is anchors.

As long as the credit problem is solved, the [-] million mu of official land north of the Yellow River can be used as an anchor for the national debt, so at least until the [-] million mu of official land is exhausted, the confidence of the gentry and merchants will not collapse. No matter how many bonds are sold with the internal funds, they will be swept away by the gentry and merchants.

Of course, if the Ming army suffered a big defeat, it would be a different matter immediately.

Smiling, Chongzhen asked casually again: "Do you mean to lower the bond interest?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Kang Wanwan shook his head, "If the interest rate is low, I'm afraid no one will buy bonds."

"Then here comes the problem. If the interest rate is high, there will be a run crisis, and if the interest rate is low, no one will buy it." Chongzhen smiled, and suddenly asked, "Does Kang Weng have a good solution?"

Kang Wanwan actually has a solution: "There is a way, maybe you can try it."

"Oh?" Chongzhen got excited now, Kang Wanwan really has a solution?
Kang Wanwan calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you can make a decree that the bonds purchased by the gentry and merchants can be bought and sold freely, and then create some news that is not good for my Daming in the border town of Xuzhou, and then let the news spread." Go to Jiangnan to dampen the confidence of the gentry and merchants and induce them to sell their bonds.”

"If once doesn't work, do it twice."

"Until the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan began to panic sell."

"Once the gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River sell off, the bond price will inevitably plummet."

"At this time, the Holy One can repurchase the bonds sold by the gentry and merchants at a low price with the salary raised before as the capital. In this way, the bonds remaining in the hands of the gentry and merchants will be greatly reduced, and the crisis of the run will be eliminated."

"This!" Chongzhen was really taken aback this time, isn't this just shaking and washing dishes?
Although oscillating and washing dishes is not a very clever technique, it is extremely rare for an ancient in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty did not have such things as the stock and bond markets.

There are many things that are not worth mentioning to put it bluntly.

But before the truth, no one would have thought of it.

It is very rare for Kang Wanwan to be half a step ahead.

Chongzhen said: "Kang Weng, did you really think of this?"

Kang Wanwan subconsciously wanted to say yes, but facing Chongzhen's fierce eyes, he suddenly felt guilty. Deceiving the Holy One is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it is a serious crime requiring beheading!

"No." Kang Wanwan said with his head lowered, "My little girl thought of it."

"Your daughter?" Chongzhen was even more surprised now, and asked casually, "What's your daughter's name? How old is it?"

In fact, Chongzhen just asked such a casual question, but Kang Wanwan couldn't help but start to think wildly, isn't it, the Holy Majesty must be thinking about it, right?

"Kang Weng, let me ask you something."

Chongzhen casually picked up a piece of peach cake and put it in his mouth.

Before, I only drank in the barracks and didn't eat much.

"Eh? Oh." Kang Wanwan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "The little girl's single name is Xi, and she is eighteen years old."

"What? Kangxi?! Hmm!" Chongzhen let out a startled cry, but Taosu choked into the air valve and got stuck instantly, his face turned red in an instant, and his veins protruded.

"Father!" Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong hurried forward.

One of the two brothers was in charge of stretching the chest, and the other was in charge of patting the back, and the operation was as fierce as a tiger.

Kang Wanwan was stupid there, worried and afraid, thinking that if the Holy Majesty choked to death because of his words today, then he would really be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Kang Wanwan was also a little confused.

Why did the Holy Majesty react so strongly when he heard his daughter's boudoir name?

After a long while, under the control of Zhu Cihong's two brothers, Chongzhen finally came to his senses.

"Ah bah." Coughing out the peach crisps that choked into his breath, Chongzhen asked Kang Wanwan again, "Kang Weng, what did you just say, your daughter's name is Kangxi? The Xixi of the world?"

Kang Wanwan hurriedly said: "Hui Sheng said, it's not the Xi of the world, but the Xi of the morning."

"Oh, it's Chen Xi's Xi, why don't I just say, how can there be such a coincidence in the world." Chongzhen said something that Kang Wanwan didn't understand, and said, "Kang Weng, your daughter is very knowledgeable. .”

"Yes, my daughter has been extremely smart since she was a child." Speaking of her daughter, Kang Wanwan's face immediately flushed.

"The little girl learned to count at the age of six, learned financial management from the grassroots at the age of nine, helped the grassroots manage the family business at the age of thirteen, and handed over all the accounts of the family to her at the age of fifteen."

At the end, he added by mistake: "It's a pity..."

Chongzhen smiled and said: "It's a pity that such a precious daughter is cheaper than others."

"Uh, no." Kang Wanwan hurriedly said, "The little girl is still in her boudoir."

"Huh?" Chongzhen said in surprise, "Ling'ai is eighteen years old and hasn't married yet?"

"Hey, my lord, that's it." Kang Wanwan said with some embarrassment, "My little girl has been spoiled by grassroots people since she was a child, and she doesn't look down on ordinary characters at all, so she was delayed."

"That's right." Chongzhen suddenly turned around.

The hairs of Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong standing behind stood on end in an instant.

My father doesn't want it, Miss Kang's family didn't get married at the age of eighteen, she must be extremely ugly, she is probably comparable to the Wuyan mother in ancient times, my ministers don't want such a woman as a concubine.

It's a pity that Chongzhen couldn't hear the voices of the two brothers at all.

In fact, even if he heard it, Chongzhen would pretend not to hear it.

Compared with the interests of the royal family, compared with the fortune of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the clothes of the Han family and the ancestral temple, what is the sacrifice of the two of you guys?What are you afraid of looking ugly?In the future, I will take concubines again.

The ancestors have long said that marrying a wife and a virtuous man is a concubine.

Chongzhen's eyes kept moving back and forth on Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong.

In the end, Chongzhen's eyes fell on Zhu Cihong, but Zhu Cijiong was still a little younger after all.

Letting thirteen-year-old Zhu Cijiong marry eighteen-year-old Kang Xi is indeed a bit too much. Fifteen-year-old Zhu Cihong just happens to be a third-year-old girl with a gold brick, right?Miss Kang's family is really a gold brick!
But there is still a problem, Zhu Cihong has already married the Crown Princess.

Chongzhen asked: "Lang'er, my father has forgotten to ask you before, where is the Crown Princess?"

Zhu Cihong replied with a bitter face: "Going back to my father, after the bandits broke the city, my minister once saw Concubine Ning, and was detained separately by the bandits. Erchen never saw Concubine Ning again."

"In other words, most of the concubines have already fallen into the hands of Jiannu, and I'm afraid it will be a disaster." Chongzhen sighed, and said, "Father, please choose another concubine for you."

Zhu Cihong had no choice but to say, "The sons and ministers are all determined by the father."

"Okay." Chongzhen said happily, "I think the daughter of the Kang family is very suitable."

"This." Kang Wanwan was stunned, his daughter became the princess now?
Chongzhen said to Kang Wanwan again: "Kang Weng, I will send the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go to the mansion tomorrow to collect money."

"Uh, yes, the grassroots leader." How could Kang Wanwan dare to refuse, and kept saying, "The grassroots have to go back and prepare quickly, but they don't know what to pay attention to?"

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Officials from the Ministry of Rites will tell you."

"Yes, yes." Kang Wanwanwei responded, turning around to leave.

"Kang Weng." Chongzhen waved his hand again and said, "Wait a minute, I still have something to say."

Kang Wanwan hurriedly turned around and said with a long bow, "Caomin respectfully listen to the instructions from the Holy Majesty."

"Hey, from now on, we will be the relatives of our sons and daughters, so there is no need to be so formal." Chongzhen smiled and said, "Although I am the Son of Heaven, I can't let my son marry your Kang family's daughter for nothing, right?"

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "I suggest you stop buying bonds."

"Huh?" Kang Wanwan was taken aback when he heard this, and then looked at Chongzhen in surprise.

"At least I'm not in a hurry to buy now." Chongzhen didn't explain too much, and said, "But don't let your money sit idle, I estimate that these days the gentry and merchants in the eight prefectures and one prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River will be eager to sell grain and sell food. If there are more people, the price will drop, Kang Weng might as well take this opportunity to buy at a low price."

"Buy food?" Kang Wanwan was even more astonished.

He said in his heart that others would sell grain for silver, and then buy bonds.

But I use money to buy food, what kind of operation is this?
"Yes, buy grain." Chongzhen said, "Eat as much as you have."

"If you don't have enough money, you can go to your business colleagues to borrow it or form a joint venture."

"When you buy grain, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. No matter how much you buy, I will buy it for you later. Of course, the premise is that the price can't be too high, and it must be at the market price."

"But I believe this business can at least make millions!"

Kang Wanwan was in a daze until he left the Imperial College.

It wasn't until Kang's other courtyard in Beicheng that he became a little more sober.

"Father, have you told the Holy One?" Kang Xi came forward with concern.

"I said it." Kang Wanwan looked at the delicate dimple of his precious daughter, and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

The daughter who has been raised for eighteen years, who looks like a flower branch, is about to be given to another family.

"Then, did His Majesty accept your suggestion?" Kang Xi asked again, "It should be adopted."

Regarding her suggestion, Kang Xi was quite confident, she felt that the Holy Majesty could not have a better way.

"Father doesn't know whether the Holy Majesty will accept it, but you have to accept it." Kang Wanwan sighed, and then said, "Girl, Father has arranged a marriage for you."

"Ah?" Kang Xi was stunned.

marriage?What does this say?
