? After the huge eastward team entered Shangjun, the speed of travel began to accelerate significantly.   This is because starting from Diaoyin in Shangjun, a wide, flat and sturdy plaster road leads directly to Gaonu, and then from Gaonu to the northeast to Lishicheng in Xihe County.

Since the end of the Bingzhou Defense War, Zhao Xing asked the counties to seize the time to build interconnected official roads to ensure that the speed of local development and construction will not be affected by the difficulty of roads. Of course, there is another hidden advantage in building strong and durable roads between counties, that is, the speed of the army's mobilization will be accelerated accordingly.

After changing into the carriage in Lishicheng, Zhao Xing could sit in the car to review the official documents reported by various places, or let Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others go in the same car to discuss some matters involving people's livelihood plans.

In the car, Guo Jia asked Zhao Xing: "Will the war be fought next year?"

Zhao Xing replied: "No consideration yet. Maybe he will use troops to Liaodong. Everything depends on the recovery of Youzhou."

Pang Tong asked even more explicitly: "When will we go south?"

Zhao Xing replied, "After taking down Jizhou, he will go south."

Pang Tong asked again: "When will you take Jizhou?"

Zhao Xing smiled, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then replied: "One day when you don't like Yuan Shao, take down Jizhou!"

Guo Jia stopped asking and said to himself: "Oh, it's the New Year again, and I don't know if the Changhe Daqu produced by Shangdang this year is enough to drink..."

After hearing Guo Jia's reminder, Zhao Xing's original relaxed expression froze, and the corners of his mouth were still twitching. Why did Zhao Xing have such a painful expression? Because now, there are more than 6 million people in the three states of Youbing and Liang. If they still follow the same approach as before, each person will distribute three jars of Changhe Daqu by the end of the year, Wohu Winery will give away nearly 20 million jars of white wine for free, which is a huge expense. Zhao Xing really can't afford it now!

With a heavy mood, Zhao Xing returned to Wohu City depressedly. After meeting his mother and family, he locked himself in his study and began to think about it. It is already mid-winter, and if there are any benefits, it should be time to distribute them to the people. But the problem is that in order to support the construction of Liangguo and Youzhou, the savings of the Taifu Mansion and the Zhao family's inner treasury have been basically emptied. If the amount of land is relaxed and the large-scale gift of Changhe Daqu, Zhao Xing will immediately face the embarrassment of having no money to celebrate the New Year.

Although there will be many businesses coming to the next year and you can make a fortune from the states, which is also an agreement that the "Round Table" has reached, after all, you will not see real money after the New Year. Before the New Year, if Zhao Xing could not distribute the welfare to the people, although it would not lead to chaos in the world, it would definitely make many poor people who were looking forward to losing trust in him.

Just as Zhao Xing was frowning and worried, Liu Jili and Qin Yilu came to visit Zhao Xing together. At first, Zhao Xing thought that the two of them were complaining to him, so he didn't give them a good look. He waited for them to ask for money with a blank face. As a result, the two of them came to ask Zhao Xing how to allocate a huge amount of scary wealth!

Liu Jili said first: "According to the secret letter of the lord when he was in Liangzhou, I and the shopkeepers of Qin and the heads of the farmers, soldiers, merchants and financial banks in various counties gathered together for three days, and then set the goal of issuing five million taels of silver treasury bonds in the first period. As a result, less than ten days of issuing the government bonds in various places were sold out by the people! Seeing that many people began to spend high prices on second-hand treasury bonds from others, we had no time to ask for instructions, so we stepped up the issuance of the second period of treasury bonds worth ten million taels of silver. As a result, in less than eight days this time, the returns of the gold banks in various places were sold out again."

Maybe it was a bit tired of saying so many things in one breath. Liu Jili picked up the tea bowl and took it hard, signaling Qin Yilu to continue talking while filling it with water.

Qin Yilu took over Liu Jili's words and continued: "After the two periods of treasury bond issuance, lord, you were busy training the Canglang Army in Jincheng. We conducted a survey on the people of Jin according to the public opinion survey method you taught. As a result, 70% of the people said that the treasury bonds were issued too few and should continue to be issued." Maybe he felt that he and Liu Jili were too bold. Speaking of this, Qin Yilu paused for a moment, looked at Zhao Xing's expression, and found that Zhao Xing was not angry, so he continued to say it again.

"So, we made up our minds and issued the third treasury bond of 10 million taels of silver. The day before yesterday, all the reports of financial banks in various places were sold out. Today we are here to ask you if we want to issue the fourth period again?" Qin Yilu wiped sweat from his forehead and said ruthlessly.

When Zhao Xing heard this, his heart was already filled with huge waves. It symbolized 25 million taels of silver. It was just a few words written on it and the scrap paper covered with his Zhao Xing's seal was exchanged for the wealth of gold and silver piled up like mountains. It turned out that Zhao Xing's name was so valuable!

Zhao Xing resisted the urge to jump up, looked at Qin Yilu and Liu Jili and said, "That is to say, now we hold various physical wealth worth 22.5 million taels of silver in our hands?"

Liu Jili nodded and replied: "It's like this on the surface, but these wealth does not all belong to the Taifu Mansion and the Zhao Family Treasury. Because when the Agricultural Soldiers and Commerce Bank opened, although we were the major shareholders of the bank and accounted for 50% of the shares, we protected the army, the county treasury, Taihang Academy, and some large factories all invested in the shares, so your wealth should be 11.25 million taels..."

"Okay! You have completed the task of issuing national debts this time very well! I will remember and commend you. Now there is a very important thing, and you still need to work hard." Zhao Xing turned around the room, rubbed his hands constantly, and said excitedly.

Qin Yilu also became excited and asked Zhao Xing: "Are you planning to issue the fourth treasury bond? How much is this time? 20 million taels?"

Zhao Xing, who was originally excited, almost staggered by Qin Yilu's question, quickly stopped Qin Yilu's words. Zhao Xing said with a serious expression: "It is enough to issue treasury bonds to this amount. If the over-issuance will concentrate too much wealth in the hands of the people in our hands, which is not conducive to private trade circulation! The fourth treasury bonds will have to wait for at least half a year before talking about them. You two must ask me for instructions in the future if you issue treasury bonds."

The two of them quickly nodded and said yes. Since Zhao Xing said he would not post, they did not dare to make any decisions any more.

"You are now in touch with Wohu Printing Factory and prepare to print shopping coupons worth 10 million taels of silver. The face value of the shopping coupons must be one or two. Four anti-counterfeiting methods are adopted, including flower codes, simple codes, traditional codes and seals. It must be completed before November 29th!" Zhao Xing issued an order clearly.

The flower code mentioned by Zhao Xing refers to the Arabic numerals from 0 to 9; the simple character code refers to the writing method from 0 to 9, and the traditional character code of course refers to the from 1 to 9. This is also the anti-counterfeiting method that Zhao Xing gave to Liu Jili, Qin Yilu and others when the Jinshang opened.

"Pang Tong, please draft an announcement immediately. The general content is to celebrate this year's Spring Festival. The Taifu Mansion will issue welfare shopping coupons worth tens of millions of taels of silver to the people of Jin State. This shopping coupon cannot be used as a silver note, but as long as more than ten taels of items are purchased before next year's Spring Festival, one tael of shopping coupon can be used for every ten taels of use. This shopping coupon is calculated based on the heads of the people of Jin State. Two tickets are distributed to each person, and one more ticket for someone in the family." Zhao Xing asked Dian Wei to call Pang Tong in and then issued a new instruction.

Qin Yilu, who was braining faster, looked at Zhao Xing and said in surprise: "Lord, are you going to return the more than 10 million taels of silver to the people?"

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "It can be said that, but it is not given to them directly. If you want this money, they have to take out more money..."

Qin Yilu also said: "My lord, can you think so? This is a replacement for the original practice of issuing Changhe Daqu and further stimulate domestic demand?"

Zhao Xing finally laughed out loud: "Haha, Lao Qin, you finally figured it out this time! I just want to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to spend money, so that the wealth hidden in the people's homes will be run, rather than burying it in the cellar and becoming moldy and rotten!"

Liu Jili asked Zhao Xing again: "What should I do if the remaining more than 10 million taels of silver?"

Zhao Xing did not hesitate this time and said easily: "The five million taels of them are used as the principal of the loan, and they are loaned to merchants who urgently need to live money to do business. All the remaining ones are collected into the treasury and used as funds for the construction of water conservancy and roads in Youzhou and Liangguo next year."

Pang Tong, who had not interrupted, couldn't help it this time and asked Zhao Xing: "As far as the Xiaguan knows, the more than 20 million taels of silver this time were borrowed from the people in the name of the Taifu. He spent so much money. What should we do when the people took bonds to exchange for silver three years later?"

At this moment, even Qin Yilu and Liu Jili laughed. Liu Jili explained to Pang Tong while laughing: "Shiyuan doesn't need to worry about this. I can guarantee that as long as people from all over the country spend all the 10 million taels of shopping coupons issued by their lords within next year, the taxes received by the government treasury in various places will definitely exceed 20 million taels. If the government bonds are issued next year and the shopping coupons are issued at the end of the year, when three years have passed, the money we can use will be more than 25 million taels that were originally issued!"

Pang Tong still asked in confusion: "According to this algorithm, three years later, the income on Jin Guojin Bank's book will probably exceed 100 million, but where does this extra wealth come from?"

Zhao Xing stopped laughing and said to Pang Tong seriously: "Shi Yuan, what you said just now is wrong. Wealth cannot be extra out of thin air. What we can only be rumors and numbers! What we are doing now is to find ways to mobilize wealth that ordinary people cannot use, so that these wealth can become the startup capital for the people of Youzhou, Liang and Jin to create wealth. This is like using a wooden stick to pry a big stone. The gold and silver we invested are still the gold and silver, and the quantity has not increased, but the real increase is the new wealth created by millions of people after hard work!"

"When my lord said this, Tong finally understood that political economy is really a great subject that benefits the country and the people!" Pang Tong said in convincingly.
Chapter completed!
