Chapter 266 Develop bonds

Huang Laifu’s Shanxi Town and Datong Town’s “five-year plan” are grand, which makes Yu Wen’s blood excited. After the relevant government affairs plans were released, they also caused a lot of controversy outside, becoming the most modern and important topic.

Of course, this cost is also huge. Don’t think about it without millions of taels of silver. If it were any official in the Ming Dynasty, they would have no choice but to do anything about this amount of money. Even the current Emperor Wanli could only stare at it.

But strangely, no matter those who have a good impression of Huang Laifu or don’t have a good impression of Huang Laifu, they all think that Huang Laifu has a way to get the money, so they don’t know what methods he used. This is a strange phenomenon.

Perhaps Huang Laifu has had too many financial miracles over the years, especially the bonds and Japanese compensation he made, which made many people blindly confident about him, especially this was even more obvious in Emperor Wanli.

Sure enough, when Huang Laifu's five-year planning project was reported, the emperor and the cabinet ministers were dumbfounded and secretly surprised by Huang Laifu's courage.

There are also fierce debates related to it, especially Huang Laifu's plan involves the development of mines, which has aroused the sensitive nerves of many people, and a lot of people shouted to compete for profit with the people.

However, after Emperor Wanli supported him, everyone calmed down. Anyway, everyone was either watching the changes or watching the show. We can watch what Huang Laifu would do. If there were any civil unrest and other things happening due to mining affairs, it would be yours.

And if Huang Laifu wants to seek support from the court, such as asking for funding, we will have nothing to do.

In this regard, Emperor Wanli was the same. He stated that Huang Laifu could let go of his courage to do everything, and that everything was supported by him, but in terms of money and grain, he could only try his best to support it. He hoped that Huang Laifu could overcome the difficulties and find a way to raise enough funds for the remaining money and grain.

...

The two town plans were spread throughout the Ming Dynasty through the official report, especially in the officialdom, which caused a huge sensation. Everyone said that if you are concerned about courage and courage, Huang Laifu would be the first among all officials.

However, everyone held their breath and looked at how Huang Laifu solved the huge government expenses. Huang Laifu was so angry that he not only had to solve the food and salary problems of the two towns of the army, but also had to build water conservancy on a large scale and build so many cement roads.

Just count, these government affairs plans will cost at least two or three million taels of silver in a few years. How much does it cost to get from Shanxi Town and Datong Town in a year? Even if you, Huang Laifu, have the ability, the amount is too large, it depends on what you can do. Don’t make jokes about being crazy at that time.

Among the many different opinions, the Governor's Mansion, which is in the vortex of things, is calm, making people unable to guess Huang Laifu's thoughts.

At the end of September, the Governor's Office of Wuzhaibao suddenly announced that it would release bonds from Shanxi and Datong towns to the outside world. The first bond was 3 million taels of silver, which everyone in the world could buy. The Governor's Office also openly invited famous landlords and merchants from all over the world to discuss the bond matters.

At the same time, through Qu Yuanrui's contact, the major shareholders who had purchased the Dongzheng bond also recruited the first shareholder meeting in the capital. As soon as Yu Huiren agreed, the principal of the Zhongyuan Dongzheng bond could be used for the construction of the two towns.

As a result, the two towns had not started selling their development bonds, and Huang Laifu had at least nearly three million taels of capital for the Dongzheng bonds to be used. This made his confidence in the five-year plan reach the highest point. He had food in his hand, so he was not panicked.

The merchants who originally purchased Dongzheng bonds were also happy. After purchasing Dongzheng bonds a few years ago, each of them gained great benefits. They could get high annual profits every year.

Moreover, they were full of confidence in Lord Huang. The choice to purchase Dongzheng bonds by themselves a few years ago became something they were proud of in their life.

Now the shopkeeper of Qu Da said again that if Lord Huang used the principal of Dongzheng bonds to invest in the construction of the two towns, their annual profits would be higher and the returns would be stable. In the words of Lord Huang, he would be firmly sitting in Diaoyutai.

With confidence in Huang Laifu, the shareholders agreed without thinking.

There are successful examples of Dongzheng bonds. When the Governor's Office of Wuzhaibao announced that it would sell development bonds from the two towns of Datong, Shanxi, it attracted a lot of attention, especially in Shanxi, which caused a great response.

When the Ming Dynasty implemented the "Opening the Middle System", the Shanxi merchant group rose, and there were countless wealthy merchants. Among the Shanxi merchants, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and wealth that could not be considered wealthy, and there were also many merchants with wealth of millions. In the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 30 largest commercial cities in the country, of which Shanxi occupied three. This shows the prosperity of Shanxi's business and the wealth of Shanxi merchants.

Originally, when Huang Laifu released the East Encounter bonds in the capital, it caused great criticism from Shanxi merchants, believing that Huang Laifu, as an official in Shanxi, was not so good at scattering outsiders. At that time, many Shanxi merchants wanted to get a share of the East Encounter bonds, but they did not catch up with the good opportunity, which made many people feel uneasy.

Now that the opportunity has come, the Shanxi merchants who are immediately famous are all hurried to Wuzhai Fort. The Beijing merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Hui merchants who received the news are also hurried to Shanxi, fearing that they will sell out their bonds if they come late.

Not only these big businessmen, but also many ordinary people in Shanxi, were also very interested in this. Huang Laifu's golden signboard and his success in the East Ending Bonds have often attracted the public to be legendary. With their confidence in Huang Laifu, they are also very excited. They usually act as experts in their words and talk about the benefits of buying and developing bonds.

Not to mention the successful examples of Dongzheng Bonds, Huang Laifu’s financial success in recent years is also a fascinating view of the bond profit prospects released by the Governor’s Office.

For ordinary people, according to the Governor's Office, as long as you purchase the bonds, you don't have to worry about returning the principal after you have Lord Huang's credit, and there is also a stable and generous annual profit every year. The annual profit income alone is much more stable than farming and doing business.

And a few years later, according to Lord Huang, after the two towns develop, especially after the military camps develop, the army can be self-sufficient. The most basic benefit is that the people's tax and food burden will be greatly reduced at that time, which is a benefit for generations of descendants.
