Chapter 1226 Issuance of Bonds
Since Shi Pide scattered his bones to the palace, the Liao Dynasty's secret spies suddenly discovered that the Song Dynasty was different. All the matters about Liaodong in Beijing became the hottest topic, and the court also began to sell bonds.
All money shops can buy bonds, and the number of bonds is limited, which has led to many people rushing to buy bonds. For them, if they can buy 100 coins, the court will be able to pay 110 coins in the next year! In a year, the interest rate of 10 coins is not low!
If you have a thousand guan, then you will be rich and wait for a hundred guan next year. If you have ten thousand guan... Be good! One thousand guan is a good thing that a pie falls from the sky!
The passion of the people was mobilized, and the interest rate of one tenth was already very high for them, but they didn't know that the reason why Zhao Zhen was able to offer such an interest rate was because Liaodong's output was quite huge.
Otherwise, such high benefits would not be given to the people. Zhao Zhen believes that the future treasury bonds will never be offered such high interest rates again. This time it is just a gimmick. There are still many places that the Song Dynasty needs to build.
Borrowing money from the people's pockets in the situation of national debt, and then distributing it to the people in the form of welfare is a brand new situation. The Song Dynasty in the past was just issuing war bonds, and war always makes money quickly.
With money, we can naturally vigorously develop and build Liaodong. The farmers in the Song Dynasty were very "sexy". They needed a lot of tools and good breeds to achieve their high yields today. Zhao Zhen tried his best to do everything for agriculture.
No matter how prosperous the business of the Song Dynasty was, the current Song Dynasty was still an agricultural society, or a pre-capitalist society. The current capitalist mode of production in the Song Dynasty had been born, but the capitalist mode of production did not dominate in society.
In the Song Dynasty, farmers still occupied a large population, and there is no doubt that this is the case.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen should take these farmers as a consideration and vigorously develop agriculture. The emergence of the great power of investigating things is just a helper to serve agriculture. The scope of investigating things is very large. In the Song Dynasty, weapons and weapons can be used to investigate things, and trains, horses and carriages and other things are also used to investigate things, and the tools of farmers are naturally also investigating things.
For this reason, Zhao Zhen once issued an edict to the world that whoever can create farming tools that facilitate farmers and improve farming efficiency can receive rewards from the court. The highest reward is limited to one year. Before the end of each year, he will personally present awards to craftsmen on the city tower of Tiananmen Square, with the best possible rewards for the court and a reward of 100,000 yuan!
This is something that makes officials in the court envious. There is such a thing in the world? Those craftsmen were too high by the officials, but almost all the ministers of the two prefectures agreed with Zhao Zhen's will, because they could see that the role of a useful agricultural tool on farmers was very important to the agriculture of the Song Dynasty.
Today, there are many kinds of agricultural tools in the Song Dynasty, known as thirty-seven large samples and 42 small samples, that is, there are thirty-seven large shovels, picks, hoes, etc., and those small, fragmented, and 42 small ones.
How much does Liaodong need? No one knows that they can only meet the needs there to the greatest extent. The first thing is to transport tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands to Liaodong is to transport these agricultural tools, but also necessary varieties and food for the people. These have long been shipped.
The food of the Song Dynasty was not only transported north, but also to Liaodong. This undoubtedly added pressure to the canal transportation, and also allowed the transportation industry of the Song Dynasty to develop. After receiving the money from the court, private merchants began to transport some of the supplies.
Not only the transportation industry, but also the grain merchants who produce agricultural tools and provide grain can make a lot of money, and they can't even take on these businesses, so a merger between factories emerged...
Because of this great construction, the capitalism of the Song Dynasty actually had the opportunity to thrive. Zhao Zhen, including Zhao, was amazed at the booming Song Dynasty.
Capital will expand on its own when it needs it. Many large and even super-large factories appeared on the land of the Song Dynasty, which made Zhao Zhen very unacceptable for a while, and what surprised him even more was the management of these factories.
Since you have a factory, you must manage it well. How to make it run efficiently, how to set up the laborers in the factory to eat or even sleep?
The Song Dynasty had no experience, but it did not prevent it from gaining experience by itself!
The merchants in the Song Dynasty followed the empirical method completely, and the good ones were summarized from these experiences and removed from the bad ones. So canteens and houses began to appear in these large factories in the Song Dynasty, and some even had their own farmland!
The goods sold in the Song Dynasty were in good condition, and this also depends on the emergence of factories. If Liaodong wants to develop, it needs money, and it also needs the help of these factories.
Zhao Zhen waved his pen and ordered the Wende Hall to summon famous merchants from the Song Dynasty, whether they were folk, royal family, or even those generals, as long as they were merchants from the Song Dynasty, as long as they were capable factory owners in the Song Dynasty, they would go to the Wende Hall to meet the saint!
The courtiers opposed it because in their opinion, the Wende Hall is a place to discuss national affairs. How could merchants with bad taste go?
Obviously they forgot that they had shops or even factories in their hands, but they had no choice but to take them out after Zhao Zhen issued an order that officials would not be allowed to do business.
Otherwise, the most common people standing in the Wende Hall were the civil officials of the Song Dynasty!
The reason why generals do business is because these generals are all beautiful! The worthless things are also a continuation of Zhao Zhen’s promise to Taizu, so no one cares about them. After all, these people are already politically done and don’t let others make some money. This is forcing others to fight with you!
So even the censor was unwilling to say these things, and Zhao Zhen believed that these people were trustworthy of their loyalty to the court and the Song Dynasty. After all, they lived well in the Song Dynasty with the glory of their ancestors. Now when they needed them, they could stand up.
Zhao Zhen looked at the crowded crowds and looked at Sancai with a bad look and said, "Didn't I ask you to pass an order to merchants with more than 100,000 yuan in Beijing? How come there are so many people?!"
Sancai smiled bitterly and said, "Official family, do you think it's still three years ago? Now these 100,000 yuan are not considered a wealthy businessman! The ones I have found are at least 500,000 yuan…..."
