"Huh?" Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong and said with a smile, "Exactly!"

Xun You frowned slightly and said softly: "Now that the war in the Western Region has started again, I am afraid that the food and grass will be damaged again..."

Fei Qian nodded, "Gongda's concerns are not unreasonable... This is also the difference between Hu and Han. If we say that war costs money and food, why do the Hu people gain more, while the Chinese lose more? So maybe from now on

, it should be different..."

Xun You said: "My lord, your intention is to use things from the Western Regions to make up for the losses?"

Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "This is one of them. If we only know how to plunder, how are we different from the barbarians? In the past, when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor, we defeated the Huns and captured millions of cattle and sheep, so what's the use?

Is it true? Is the national treasury rich because of this? Therefore, looting can only be achieved for a while, but not for a lifetime..."

Although there are differences in farming and nomadic habits, or in technology, they also reflect a common problem in Chinese tradition.

Just like some people, when evaluating things, they often say that this is rubbish and that is cheap. They seem to despise everything. However, some people can turn waste into treasure and find business opportunities for many years.

From now on, those who despise this and that are trash will still work with trash, while those who have found business opportunities have become extremely wealthy and become environmental defenders.

Therefore, Fei Qian had no way to make proper arrangements because of insufficient conditions before, but now he can implement what Fei Qian has always wanted to do in the Western Region.

"A certain person wants to invite investment..." Fei Qian said slowly.

Fei Qian looked around and seemed to see question marks above the heads of Pang Tong and Xun You, so he stopped and explained the meaning of the word "investment".

According to Bearded Ma's point of view, human labor can create value, so no matter which dynasty it is, the overall social wealth will definitely increase with the continuous labor of its people, especially for a hard-working nation like China.

It should be that wealth is constantly accumulating and increasing, but why do we always see many descriptions in history that the national treasury is constantly in deficit, and there is nothing but rats in the warehouses of the household department?

Then some people say that the emperor spent money indiscriminately and was extravagant. But from another perspective, the money spent should have been in the emperor's treasury and was not circulated, but now it is purchased through high or low prices.

, eventually flowed to the market, replenishing the currency in circulation in the entire market. According to the so-called left pocket right pocket theory, it should not reduce the country’s wealth?

Therefore, it is obvious that the theory of left pocket to right pocket is false. In actual reality, this money will be continuously misappropriated and reduced during the circulation process until there is nothing left. The officials at every level are trying to get their hands on things.

Then when it came to the people, not only did they not receive corresponding financial compensation, they even had to pay it back!

As for the misappropriated accounts, it was inconvenient for officials to spend them directly, which led to three consequences. One was that luxury goods were inflated, especially those broken stones from the Western Regions; the other was that a large amount of money was stored.

The funds were raised and no longer circulated, causing the country to continue to be short of money; the third aspect is that these funds, without a suitable destination, naturally flowed to the most important resource of the farming nation, land.

Pang Tong looked at Fei Qian, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and said tentatively: "Could it be that... the Lord wants someone..."

Fei Qian laughed loudly and said: "The one who knows me is Shi Yuan! However, Shi Yuan does not need to do it himself, he only needs to control and manage... This matter can be left to Cui Pei and others.

The reason for the Western Region is to issue bonds for a period of five years...』

Pang Tong's hand touching his chin seemed to feel relieved.

Xun You's eyebrows moved because he thought that the year of this so-called bond seemed to be the same as the exchange period of old and new coins. Was it something Fei Qian had set up...

These war horses and utensils sent from the Western Regions will be a window to display the wealth of the Western Regions.

Fei Qian plans to issue commercial bonds for this Western Region war, not only to solve the problem of his own consumption, but also to absorb the idle wealth of the people and provide a channel for financial management, so that the wealth accumulated by the wealthy noble families is not entirely limited to land.

From a certain perspective, it can be regarded as a carrot handed out after beating, but it is also another means to strengthen the control over the wealthy noble families.

As the saying goes, it is the grandpa who owes money, and the grandson who borrows money. If you hold all the money of the nobles in your hands, it is almost equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the nobles. You are not trying to force the nobles to be tough or to be soft.

Is it necessary to be soft? Later generations have watched the financial and diplomatic strategies of the United States for more than ten years. It makes no sense. They only know how to understand but not how to use it?

The issuer of the bonds is handed over to the current four major merchants, Cui Peizhenzhuo, and Bai Shiqiang...

Well, why are there five people among the Big Four?
