From south to north, from east to west, from army to people, the land of Liaodong was mobilized. There was only one goal: to pacify Liao and destroy slaves and restore their homes.

Once upon a time, this was the home of the Liao people. They reclaimed land, cultivated, engaged in craftsmanship and commerce, making Liaodong prosperous and prosperous.

But since the old slave raised the flag and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the wars in Liaodong were everywhere, the Liao people were destroyed, the people were displaced, and they were trapped in dire straits.

Now, the time is for counterattack and revenge. Millions of soldiers and civilians roared the same roar and used all their strength.

The court was still the same court, but it was already very different from before. Whether it was the resettlement policy of the post-Put Liao Powder or the wartime relief and pension, the Liaodong military and civilians were willing to contribute to the purge of Liao.

When Jiannu was raging in Liaodong, no one cared about the lives of the Liao people, and let them be displaced and hungry.

But a few years ago, the court pulled out money and transferred grain and properly resettled the Liao people who were in danger of peace, so that they could not suffer from cold and hunger and were not harmed by war.

When aiding Korea to fight against the Japanese, the court summoned hundreds of thousands of Liao people to be civilians. Not only did they have no compensation, but they were not treated well, so that more than half of them died.

Now, you pay according to the distance and the volume of transportation, and you don’t have credit or owe it. After three shipments, you will also issue a “front support certificate”, and you will get ten acres of five-year duty-free land after the war.

If you plant ten acres of land well, there is no problem with the food and clothing of three or five people. This is an unstoppable temptation for ordinary people.

Relying on the enthusiasm of the people, using a cart to launch the victory of Pingliao? Zhu Youxiao had thought about it, but he would not rely entirely on the enthusiasm of the people.

Whether it is tempting it or hiring the people to work hard, he only needs to achieve his goal and let the people of the Ming Dynasty feel the benefits of the victory of the Ming army and the benefits brought by the prosperity of the country.

I was happy when I heard about the war. It seemed that such a thing happened in the early Tang Dynasty. I don’t know if there were any subsequent dynasties, but Zhu Youxiao didn’t know it anyway.

In this world, from Liaodong to the entire earth, the jungle law of the strong prey on the weak is an unchanging rule and a driving force for the country to continue to grow.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Such a simple truth is summarized with so many painful facts.

To pacify Liao and destroy slaves, let the Liao people and Ming army, who worked hard, get the benefits and preferential policies that will be safe for the rest of their lives; to expand Mekong Province, and also let the people who immigrate here be prosperous and healthy.

War is a powerful means of the country, but it cannot make the people feel dispensable and have no enthusiasm.

Speaking of enthusiasm, the emperor who was far away in the capital was receiving a report. He was so enthusiastic that he hesitated and dared not accept it easily.

Wu Dazhang, who came to Beijing to report his work, had his fat body slanted and looked a little ridiculous when sitting on the embroidery pedestal, but he didn't feel uncomfortable, but he felt very proud.

As a businessman, never thought that he would get into this position and climb to this position? The president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, with a fourth-rank official rank, seems not high, but it is the emperor's wallet.

"Five million square meters of Liao debt--" After a while, the emperor thought clearly, smiled faintly, and said: "It is indeed a lot, but the method of quotation and salt must not be abolished, and it must be gradually implemented nationwide."

Wu Dazhang naturally knew the thoughts of those salt merchants, and also knew that the emperor wanted to implement the Salt Law for Salt was now only a pilot and would definitely be promoted nationwide.

Therefore, he was not going to talk to the salt merchants, so as not to let the emperor misunderstand that he had received the benefits. But he also had his own ideas, otherwise he would not have mentioned this matter to the emperor. He could reject the salt merchants and not get involved in this matter.

"Long live the wise." Wu Dazhang bowed and replied: "Give them a hundred courages, and don't dare to make the conditions with Long Live, and don't miss their millions of dollars."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It sounds nice, but he still cared about so much money." Knowing that Wu Dazhang had something to say, the emperor looked at him with encouragement."

Wu Dazhang continued: "These salt merchants are used to trading salt. Once the ticket and salt method is released, they feel that they will be anxious only if they lose their jobs. In fact, if they have money, they can find another livelihood for them."

Salt merchants are indeed rich. Even if they implement the ticket and salt law, they rely on large-scale preferential prices and organized transportation, which are still profitable.

However, monopoly is a habit, but the vote-salt method breaks the monopoly. Without pricing power and huge profits, salt merchants will naturally be unwilling to accept it.

Looking for another business?! The salt merchants have huge amounts of money. Where can they invest such a large amount of capital? If the industry is not selected well, it will be light to disrupt the economic order.

Zhu Youxiao pondered, and couldn't think of any industry that needed such a large investment.

Before the introduction of the Piaosal Law, the emperor discussed with the ministers. Because it was necessary to pilot the Changlu Salt Factory and the north, while the large salt merchants concentrated in the Huaihe River, all believed that the impact would not be affected for the time being.

As for future promotion, no one has ever thought about what the big salt merchants should do. What is wrong with having money? It’s not that they can’t afford to eat, can they rebel?

Sure enough, the big salt merchants dared not rebel, but they had a very sensitive sense of smell and had a strong sense of crisis. From the pilot of the vote salt method in the north, we know that salt factories such as Lianghuai and Guangdong will also implement this sooner or later.

In the 45th year of Wanli, the court had just adopted Yuan Shizhen's suggestion to establish a "programme" for salt administration. Less than ten years ago, the court has introduced new policies, which seems a bit unfair to the salt merchants who had previously disposal and increased salt taxes.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao also thought of this, but he didn't take it seriously.

If you have capital, it is also good to continue to sell salt and be a first-class agent. You can make less money, but you won’t lose everything.

Obviously, people who are used to eating big fish and meat are not used to eating coarse grains. If you make more money and less money, this is not something you can give up easily.

"There will be no more profits." The emperor stretched out his finger and determined the principle, "Monopoly is not possible. Of course, this refers to the country."

Domestic? Foreign!

Wu Dazhang was a little confused. Could it be that he was asking salt merchants to compete for profits with maritime merchants?

This is the limitation of the Ming people's vision. Speaking of foreign countries, it almost refers to overseas.

The emperor didn't know that Wu Dazhang had a wrong thought. While thinking, he continued: "It is a good deal to expand territory or to fight against foreign countries, it depends on whether they have the courage."

Borrowing debts, issuing bonds, launching wars to the outside world, and sharing dividends together; if you lose, there are risks in doing business, it is not, how can you do everything and make money?

But for the Emperor's idea, it was still too innovative and too far beyond imagination for the Ming people.

So, Wu Dazhang was stunned when he heard this, his eyes blinked slowly, trying to digest the amazing information that the emperor vomited.

Zhu Youxiao just said it casually at the beginning, but his thinking was not clear, but the more he said it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.

In order to pacify Liao and destroy slaves, although we know that the sea is infinite and moving towards the sea is the general trend of the world, we don’t have much money to invest in the navy.

The big salt merchants have money, so it seems feasible to let them pay for war, and they are even more profitable.

As for the enemies to be conquered, it is hard to find?

He was always dissatisfied with the Dongyu Dynasty in many of the Ming dynasties. Annan, who was separated from the Ming Dynasty's rule, was also a capricious ungrateful wolf.

There are also Western colonists who came from afar and were invading and occupying the countries of the South China Sea. Spain, the Netherlands, and Britain, in the long run, are all enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Youxiao was a militant, it was not unfair to him. But is it not that he had expanded and plundered externally? Isn’t it an effective means to survive major disasters?

Let the light of the Ming civilization shine on more land and let more people of all ethnic groups bathe in the favors of the Ming Empire.

Thinking of the suffering people all over the world, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt tall.

"Long live." Wu Dazhang also noticed the changes in the emperor's mental state and bowed carefully and said, "These big salt merchants are still sensible. Five million square meters of Liao bonds have been purchased."

You first buy the Pingliao debt and then ask for the emperor's grace, just like you give gifts and ask others to do things, which seems sincere.

If you take buying a Liao bond as a prerequisite, then the nature will change. The emperor lacks the millions of silver you, and you have to negotiate with the emperor about the conditions. Will you be tired of living?

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Tell them to support the country and help the Liao Dynasty pacify the great cause."

"Yes, I am following the order." Wu Dazhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As an emperor, what else can you do to be too polite or grateful? Just one sentence "I have recorded it" is enough for those salt merchants.

There is no need for immediate returns, but long-term investment. This is the right attitude.

Although the Salt Law was implemented, the emperor also left a line for them. Now the emperor has recorded their contributions, and a little care will be enough for them to benefit from in the future.

"Wu Qing did a good job." Zhu Youxiao praised with a smile: "Whether it is exchange exchange or issuance of Liao bonds, the results are all satisfactory."

Wu Dazhang felt so relieved, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him humbly.

With the help of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which monopolized border foreign trade, the ICBC's various businesses were carried out quite well, even surpassing the Royal Bank.

This is also normal. Royal Bank is the emperor who is required by the central bank according to the standards of the national central bank and strives for long-term goals, rather than staring at the small profits in front of him.

"Wu Zheng is not bad either." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I have other important uses and have called him back to Beijing. You father and son are reunited in Beijing to have a reunion New Year. After the New Year, he will take up his post."

"I thank God for your kindness on behalf of my son." Wu Dazhang did miss his son, and his eyes became hot, and he knelt down and kowtowed. At the same time, he was sincerely happy for his son's bright future.

"Let's flat!" Zhu Youxiao raised his hand gently and said, "Make your plan for next year as soon as possible. I may have new missions to hand over to you."

Compared with the functions of later banks, the current ICBC's business is still far behind. Although it is limited to technology, such as long-distance communications, Zhu Youxiao believes that it still has great potential to tap.

Especially for deposits and loans, ICBC is far from playing the role of the "reservoir" to promote the circulation.
