Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: The Internal Affairs of Great Chu (3)
Borrow on credit.
The idea proposed by Geng Baishun made Luo Yongsheng look at it, because the first thing he thought of was a word.
Treasury bonds.
Of course, it is impossible to have national debts during this period. It is impossible to raise debts from the people in the court. It is impossible to think about it. It would be too embarrassing to spread it.
Even in extremely difficult times, if you really have no rice to put it in the pot, you have to ask merchants to raise money and grain. For example, when Hongzhou supported Wang Jun to suppress the rebellion in the southwest, Chen Li used the word "donation or donation".
Donation is a subjective verb, so in essence, Luo Yongsheng, the richest man in Hongzhou, took the lead in supporting the court to quell the rebellion, and the yamen did not owe him at all.
After the war, the yamen had no reason to repay him with the money and grain. Of course, Luo Yongsheng would not ask for it.
I have to give some face to the court.
Even the court was embarrassed to borrow money from the merchants, so how could it be that it would borrow money from the poor people among the people? Wouldn't it be a big laugh if it spreads out?
There were only courts with tax increases in all dynasties, but no courts with debts.
If you are really poor and have no money, you will be able to pay extra taxes. You will be able to pay extra ten or twenty years in one go. If you can pay extra taxes for more than ten or twenty years, the Qing government will pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Liangjiang area will be added for more than thirty years.
As for whether the people can survive, what does it have to do with the court?
Luo Chu's situation is almost the same now, that is, he is so poor that he doesn't even have money to start infrastructure construction.
Who made the policy too broad?
The fifteenth tax will abolish the dynasty labor force. This kind of benevolent government is even more relaxed than the thirty tax force during the Wenjing administration, because the latter at least has corvee service and corvee service. Then when building large-scale water conservancy infrastructure and other national projects, the court can save a lot of central finance.
"The two points of owing wages to the people or temporarily restoring the corvee service system are obviously not feasible. This will cause impact and damage to the prestige of our Great Chu court."
After thinking about this treasury bond, Luo Yongsheng quickly put forward this idea: "I am willing to borrow money from the private sector and ask the bank to issue a treasury bond to subsidize the fund, which is similar to our previous savings.
It is divided into five years and ten years. The annual interest rate is 60% and 10% respectively. Before the period is up, the savings cannot be withdrawn. Let’s use the people’s money to recruit workers and then pay workers’ labor.”
If you take the money from the people and return it to the people, the court will have to pay the interest if it takes a turn for you.
One percent of the annualized interest rate will double in ten years.
The three of them made up their minds, and Wei Bingkun subconsciously blurted out that he must not.
"The annual interest rate of 10% will be under great pressure when repaying it in the future."
"Ten years."
Luo Yongsheng didn't care much, and said with a relaxed expression: "Ten years have been enough for a child to grow up to be a big guy. If our Da Chu has been in a situation where he is still unable to repay the debts of the people, then he will have no face to be the king, and you will have no face to continue to be an official.
We all have to worry about this matter, so that we can have pressure, and we can have the motivation to do things. Only by issuing national debts can we protect the interests of the people and maintain the prestige of the court to the greatest extent. This behavior of credit and the restoration of the corvee system that changes every day will harm our face, and the harm outweighs the benefits, and it will not be feasible."
Wei Bingkun sighed. He could not come up with a better idea to refute the idea of treasury debt, so he could only reluctantly respond, but he felt so painful that he could not do it.
The king on his head is really not in charge and does not know that the firewood and rice are expensive. The financial situation of Dachu is now in an extremely bad situation, and he is unable to make ends meet in every link. Now he is ready to bear a large amount of high interest debts. In the next few years, my cabinet minister may not even sleep.
"Let's talk about what else is there."
After talking about the imperial examination, the top major issues of selecting officials and financial situation, the rest were all small details and trivial matters. The four of them were quickly decided. Of course, Luo Yongsheng made the final decision, which combined a lot of his personal subjective opinions.
"The Government Affairs Pavilion is over here. Yan Zhen, are there any difficult problems with your military affairs?"
Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment and immediately calmed down and said.
"I don't have much trouble here, just a little bit, and it is also the matter that you have explained to the army's literacy education and the expansion of the Jun Guard.
The military camp training is hard, and there is little time for a day except for eating and sleeping. Not many soldiers are willing to learn to read with the members of the Jungu Team. Most of them are resting or hiding in the camp. If they are forced to study, they are afraid that the soldiers will feel disgusted and their morale will be frustrated.
The first prerequisite for expanding the Jun Guard is that the recruited person must recognize and recognize words, so the progress is not very rapid."
Literacy and deepening education issues.
Luo Yongsheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked back: "Have you ever tried to make the soldiers' attitude towards learning change from passive to active?"
Since you cannot force yourself, you can only tempt.
"This is not something I have thought about, but I personally think it is inappropriate and hesitated and difficult to decide." Yan Zhen expressed his thoughts: "If you use silver and money as profit to lure it, it may humiliate the morale of the army. Moreover, if you give more benefits, the soldiers will be in danger of fighting bravely. If you give less, the soldiers will not be greedy."
Luo Yongsheng had never thought about this consideration. Now, when he heard Yan Zhen's words, he was immediately alert.
I almost forgot about this effect.
After joining the army, you only need to read and memorize and receive a very generous silver and money reward. So what else can you fight and take the risk of swords and swords?
A group of new recruits will join the army with extremely utilitarian purpose, which will greatly reduce the quality of the anti-rebel army, which has gradually gathered its combat effectiveness, and then become increasingly corrupt.
Yan Zhen’s consideration makes a lot of sense.
"Since you can't give money, then change the way."
After thinking for a long time, Luo Yongsheng suddenly remembered his friend who had experienced military service in his previous life, and he felt a memory.
"Do you remember the book I asked Bi Sheng to compile? According to the idea of training alone in this book, your Jun Guard compiled a discipline and regulations for the rebellion of the army. The regulations were issued, and thousands of books were printed, and a library was built in the military camp with thousands of dictionaries.
Anyone who can recite the entire Ordinance and Regulations will be awarded a second-class merit once. I will personally award a second-class merit medal and will be specially approved to enter the Jun Guard."
This proposal was a masterpiece, and Yan Zhen was stunned and was immediately overjoyed.
"Master, you have a good idea."
What is the second-class merit? It is honor. What is the medal given by Luo Yongsheng, the King of Chu, personally awarded by him? It is also honor.
It is definitely thousands of times better to use honor to motivate the army than to get money.
Moreover, according to the military system, you will definitely be promoted if you have made a second-class merit.
There are so many benefits of memorizing the regulations. It not only solves the problem of literacy, but also does not need the Jun Guard to chase after him every day to teach his ideas. After memorizing a regulations, you have to read at least dozens or hundreds of times, or even hundreds of times.
During the hundreds of times of reading, the ideological level and even spiritual height of these soldiers reached, even surpassing the general members of the Jun Guard.
They will grow into Luo Yongsheng, the most loyal and determined warrior of Da Chu through self-baptism over and over again.
More importantly, they will become a disciplined army.
Discipline is the most important point when the army's combat effectiveness is strong.
There is no doubt that since ancient times, all famous generals and strong troops have attached priority to discipline.
An army without discipline is just a scattered warrior and will collapse at once.
Through the entire army actively learning the regulations and regulations, there is no need for the ruling guards and military officers to supervise and train every day. The anti-rebellion army will automatically grow into a disciplined and faithful army.
High, really high.
"But you have to control one thing, that is, the regulations cannot be too simple. If an individual can memorize it for ten or eight days, then the second-class merit will be worthless and will also affect the army's enthusiasm for making achievements in the future."
"I understand, I understand."
Yan Zhen smiled and agreed immediately.
How can one write a hundred and eighty articles in a single order, and then quote the classics and add some documents about military training in the military books. It is not much to compile a 30,000 to 50,000 words. In addition to the child prodigy who never forgets, I want to memorize 30,000 to 50,000 words?
What good things do you think if you don’t read it hundreds of times?
During this recitation process, the soldiers completed their self-training. When they were trained, there was no need for the team to emphasize discipline over and over again.
When the soldiers lined up, they would subconsciously restrain their behavior in accordance with the discipline and regulations during the training process.
"In terms of military training, the king's talent is far superior to Sun Wu."
"I can't compare to the slap in my mind."
Luo Yongsheng smiled and cursed, looked around and looked outside the mansion. It was already light and it was dawn before he knew it.
"Everyone hurry up and go back to their respective residences to sleep. Yawn, I've been able to stay up all night."
"I'm going to leave."
