Chapter four hundred and seventy-ninth these means, turning your hands into clouds, and covering your hands into rain(1/3)
——Scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen?
Why do businessmen hold the most food and money, but the status is the lowest?
Lu Yu's words were like poisonous needles, piercing the hearts of every merchant, making their already trampled hearts even more ragged!
And just when everyone is in a heavy mood...
Lu Yu's words followed one after another: "Why? Because merchants are not united! Because merchants are essentially profit-seeking, because merchants attack each other! No backbone has ever stood up and led the businessmen group to further grow and become stronger!
”
"The so-called 'business' is nothing more than buying and selling. Only when buying can you buy can you sell. Everyone here is nothing more than operating existing businesses, competing for resources, and galloping on their own acres of land!
”
"But have you ever thought about it? If you unite and integrate resources, maybe you can make the existing market bigger and stronger! Have you ever thought about it, if one day my cavalry of Cao camp travels all over the Western Regions,
Step into India and step into the extreme north that no one has ever entered!"
"At that time, our merchants need to go to these places, build trade with grasslands, borders, and even distant empires, sell what we have into their countries, and introduce what we have not. This brings new resources
, How can we fight? In this way, who dares to underestimate the status of our businessmen?"
Speaking of this...
Lu Yu looked around everyone, and there was light in everyone's eyes, dazzling and dazzling light!
It seemed that they were moved.
If such a passionate "bold words" were passed through the mouths of other people, perhaps... these smart merchants would not be so thrilling, but... who was saying this?
It’s Lu Yu! It’s Yin Lin! It’s a hot figure in the entire Central Plains today!
His words are convincing!
Just as all merchants were in a state of "igniting" mood...
Lu Yu's words continued, and his tone became more serious.
"In the future, the entire Central Plains, and even the entire north, will undergo a earth-shaking reform, and reform... will always revolve around the word "Shang", and I, Lu Yu, the Great Han Situ, will promote all this within three years!
”
"Just rely on me! Establish a chamber of commerce that will be supported by the imperial court and strongly supported by the Sikongfu! It can also be called "Alliance"! The current goal is north of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains and the North, and it is called "Jiangbei Alliance"!
”
"The fine salt, yellow croaker, paper, or welfare lottery you saw just now... I, Lu Yu, will launch more products in Jiangbei League in the future. Everyone, think about it, if you join Jiangbei League, if you join Jiangbei League, you should also think about it.
, How much profit will be in the future? How can our Jiangbei League be with the court, so how can our status be subordinate to scholars, farmers, and workers!"
Lu Yu's words were like a spell, surrounding everyone's minds...
Let every businessman present imagine!
Not to mention status, not to mention the legendary grasslands, borders, and trade in distant empires, just these... this big yellow croaker, this lottery, this fine salt, this paper... just relying on these things today is enough for people to
I was jealous!
The value of each item is immeasurable...
It is no exaggeration to say that these are mountains of gold!
If you can get a piece of the pie, even if it is just a small cup, it will be a huge fortune, let alone... what attracts these merchants the most is...
——The Jiangbei Alliance backed by the imperial court!
——The waist suddenly became hard!
Looking at the expressions of the merchants, Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he knew that it was almost time.
"Everyone, I, Lu Yu, have always been 'speaking directly', and now... I should also be a villain first and a gentleman later!"
"There is no free lunch in the world. My members of the Jiangbei League can naturally cooperate on lottery, yellow croaker, paper, and fine salt. However, it is not that easy to join the Jiangbei League! If you want to board the ship, first of all... you must have a ship in your hands.
ticket!"
While talking...
Lu Yu waved his hand and ordered the man to open the last black box. There was another box in the box. Wait until the box was opened...
Papers emerged one by one...
No, it's not just paper!
These papers are much harder than ordinary paper, and there are extremely complex patterns printed on them. One of the eye-catching real dragons is vividly displayed. In addition, there are six golden characters written - the National Debt of the Han Empire!
Lu Yu raised his hand and introduced it.
"The thing in this box is the government bond jointly issued by our Jiangbei League and the Dahan." Lu Yu took out one and shook it in front of the merchants.
Everyone's eyes flashed, and they stopped talking, afraid of missing out on key information!
certainly…
The so-called "there is no free lunch in the world" proposed by Lu Yu is very understandable to all merchants.
In business...
The essence of a businessman is to "harm people", and no one is a "good person". It would be strange if Lu Yu had no purpose!
Is the Dahan national debt?
Is the Jiangbei League ticket?
For a moment, everyone was looking forward to what Lu Yu would say next!
"This thing is called a national debt! The so-called national debt is not issued in my personal name, but in the Han Dynasty and the imperial court! Our Jiangbei Alliance is just an executor!"
"After you subscribe to the government bonds, I will write your names, the money, grain and grass they subscribed, and then stamp the seal of the 'National Jade Seal', which is considered complete!"
Looking at the merchants in the audience, I was confused.
Lu Yu realized that it seemed that the merchants of this era did not have these concepts of "financial management" and they must be more shattered.
"For example, some of you bought a national debt of 500,000 stones of grain, then... it does not mean that the 500,000 stones of grain will be the empire. On the contrary, the 500,000 stones of grain will still belong to you, within the agreed period of time.
After that, this amount of food will be returned to your hands again, and... every year, there will be a high amount of food to be paid to you as a "profit"! This is equivalent to the money our great man borrowed from you..."
Hiss...The Han Empire borrowed money from merchants?
Lu Yu blurted out these words, and the merchants were filled with an uproar.
You know, in the past... the warlords and warlords deceived them a lot of money and grain, but in the end, that was the kind of donation... donations but not return them.
But... the Han Empire "has borrowed and returned"?
Their subconscious feeling is...and such a good thing?
The empire borrows money from you and pays you "profits" and will return the principal to you at the expiration date? This... isn't this too exaggerated?
Speaking of which, these merchants have received a certain degree of education and understanding it is much easier than ordinary people!
Add...Lu Yu gave a detailed example, and they would probably understand it at once.
Just because I understand, why do I feel... a little... a little fake?
Before they could question...
Lu Yu's words were heard again...
——"Why? I will use this national debt as your ticket to join the Jiangbei League. You are all extremely smart people. Naturally, you also know that the most important thing in business is the word "trust". You have a lot of food.
Bet with me, bet with Jiangbei Alliance, bet with the Empire! Only in this way, whether it is the Empire, Jiangbei Alliance, or I am not afraid of you causing trouble, and in the same way, this way can prove that you are against the Empire
Loyalty! Only then can I dare to hand over my business to you with confidence!”
Speaking of this, Lu Yu took a deep breath and chanted the last sentence.
"Everyone, I will not explain in detail what the situation is today. As long as Cao Sikong is there, the national debt will be valid. As long as the court is there, the national debt will stand firm, and our Jiangbei Alliance will become a business field in Jiangbei
The behemoth! Whether you want to take on this big ship that "rides the wind and waves" depends on your vision and courage!"
"I will never force anyone present to buy government bonds, but... you'd better think clearly. The main theme of the future world will inevitably be 'reform'. Once you miss it, you'll miss it. Don't say it's my ship, wait
In a few years, the old ship tickets you have in your hands will not even be able to board a broken ship!"
After one word...
The wooden boxes filled with national debts were carried to everyone by Long Xiao Camp soldiers.
What emerged in the entire courtyard was the "buzzing" discussion...
There was an uproar, and all the merchants were in an uproar, and many small groups had already come together to discuss and discuss.
Through discussion... some people who seem to understand are finally understood, what is a treasury bond?
This is a kind of contract that lends it to the empire, and then the empire gives you "profit" every year, and after the agreed date expires, the capital will be returned...
It seems to be a little unreliable.
But Lu Yu tied the national debt with Jiangbei League and fine salt, with big yellow croaker, with lottery, and paper. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as these things dominate Lu Yu, as long as the empire can guarantee Lu Yu's in these fields.
Monopoly status, then... how can the so-called "profit" be greedy for ink? The principal is naturally safe.
To be continued...
