- "Your Highness, if you borrow so much money, aren't you worried that the Ming Dynasty will default on the loan?"
When Master Wang heard that Zhao Hongyu wanted to lend money to the Ming Dynasty, and it was a lot of money, he was completely shocked.
That¡¯s five million taels of silver, not five hundred taels.
Even if it is five hundred taels of silver, it is not a small number.
You know, five hundred taels of silver could buy a nice house even in the capital city during the Ming Dynasty.
Ordinary people can basically buy a house for seventy or eighty taels of silver, and the environment is pretty good.
And in this era, the price of a pound of pork in the Ming Dynasty was only thirty cents per pound. One tael of silver can buy more than thirty kilograms of pork, and one tael of silver can buy a bag of 150 kilograms of rice.
Because money is hard to pass, the purchasing power is very strong.
Mrs. Wang could not imagine how extravagant it was to lend five million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty.
Besides, even if the money was lent to the Ming Dynasty, how much of it could really be used on local affairs?
? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? etc. etc. out of the way, and in the end, there won't be much money that the court can actually use on the blade.
¡°Isn¡¯t this money just used by meat buns to beat dogs and enrich those corrupt officials?
Therefore, Master Wang felt that he had to persuade Zhao Hongyu carefully, and he must not let him fill so much money into this bottomless pit.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always said that the Song Dynasty is rich, even if he is rich, he cannot be sent like this.
This money is not a small amount, it would be great to use it in key places.
Why do you need to lend it to the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Master Wang respectfully said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, should we sum up this matter again? Five million taels of silver is not a small amount, and if it is lent to the Ming Dynasty, the money may be embezzled by corrupt officials. If they go, they won¡¯t be able to pay back the money in the end, wouldn¡¯t our Song Dynasty suffer a huge loss?¡±
Facing Master Wang¡¯s persuasion, Zhao Hongyu just smiled.
¡°After all, I don¡¯t have much money, but I can¡¯t explain this matter to Master Wang so clearly.
Five million taels of silver is not a small amount to Master Wang and the Ming Dynasty court, but it is really nothing to Zhao Hongyu.
The price of silver in the virtual world has dropped to a dime per gram. According to the weights and measures of this era, forty-five-six grams is one tael, which is less than five yuan.
Five million taels of silver, which is more than 20 million Chinese soft sister coins in the virtual world.
Not to mention that Zhao Hongyu has several billions saved in his account. Just talking about where he got more than a dozen pieces of porcelain when he visited Liulichang a few days ago, and he has made more than 3 billion soft girl coins in the virtual world. .
Therefore, it is nothing to spend more than 20 million to buy industrial silver, cast it into pieces of silver ingots, and lend them to the Ming Dynasty.
It is impossible for Master Wang to know these reasons, and it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to tell him.
¡° If Master Wang knew these reasons, I guess he wouldn¡¯t be so worried.
However, Zhao Hongyu still felt that he should explain it. Otherwise, wouldn't it make Mrs. Wang feel that she is too arbitrary and unable to listen to well-intentioned persuasion?
He didn¡¯t want Master Wang to misunderstand that he was such a person.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu explained to Master Wang: "I don't need to worry about the Ming Dynasty going back on its debts. And do you think the Ming Dynasty will do such a thing?"
The expression on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s face was a bit intriguing, but Mrs. Wang quickly figured out the meaning of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words.
Yes, the Ming Dynasty has always regarded itself as the supreme kingdom of heaven, so it is impossible for the court to do such things as defaulting on its debts. If the imperial court does such a thing, they will not have much prestige among the surrounding countries in the future.
This is what the Ming Dynasty least wants to happen.
Therefore, it seems that His Highness is right and he does not need to worry about this issue.
"Your Highness, why did you lend so much money to the court?" Master Wang was very curious about this.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and said: "The Lifanyuan side ignores us, so in order to see the emperor of Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, I can only use money to clear the way. And I heard you say that the imperial treasury is empty even in Liaodong. The pay and silver of the Ming Dynasty can no longer be paid out. And now the Jurchens are wreaking havoc in Liaodong, and several large armies are rushing towards the capital. However, the Ming Dynasty lacks military pay and supplies for war. If the Jurchens arrive at this time,Under the city, it is really not a good thing for the people living in the capital. "
Zhao Hongyu's smile turned into a bitter smile after saying this: "And we also live in the capital, right? In order to resist those Jurchens, we wild virtues need to use our strength. Besides, if the Jurchens are allowed to break through the capital, these people who have risen from the Black Mountains and White Waters will The barbarians among them will definitely massacre and plunder the capital. Even if we are Song people from the Americas, those Jurchens can't care. The butcher's knife will still fall, right?"
Oh, it turns out that His Highness wanted to lend money to Daming for this reason.
However, even so, is the money a bit too much?
But the money belongs to His Highness. If he really wants to borrow it, there is nothing he can do to stop it.
However, His Highness also made it very clear here.
If the Jurchens really came to the city and captured the capital, it would have a great impact on them.
In order to avoid such a situation, the best policy is to lend money to the Ming Dynasty court and let the court organize an army to defend the Jurchens. At the same time, it will also allow the court to have enough military pay to send to the Liaodong Army so that they can fight against the Jurchens again.
But these are things that the Ming Dynasty should worry about. Why does His Highness still have to worry about it? This is simply superfluous.
"Do you think my worries are unnecessary? This matter should have been a matter for the Ming Dynasty and the elders to worry about, but don't forget it, because we live here in the capital, there is nothing to be done under the overthrow of the nest. The eggs are complete.¡±
"Okay, Your Highness, I'm just a servant. It's actually you who makes the decision on this matter. Now that you've made your decision, I'll just follow your orders."
Now that the reason is known, what else does Master Wang have to say.
"As Zhao Hongyu said, there are no eggs left when the nest is overturned.
???????????????????????????????? If the Jurchens are really allowed to attack the capital, and conquer the capital, then Zhao Hongyu and the others who live in the capital will also be in trouble.
The Jurchens will not be lenient to them just because they are strangers.
Who cares about these things when the army is killing each other?
And due to the lack of military pay and supplies, the Ming court now simply cannot summon enough troops to defend the capital.
Even though there were originally royal guards and imperial camps here in the capital, the soldiers in these troops didn't know how to fight at all.
Their fighting power cannot be trusted at all.
Especially what they have to face are the Jurchens who are fierce by nature, take killing as their daily routine, and fight against the sky and the earth on the black soil of Liaodong.
"These are just guys who got into the pro-army camp through connections to get through their seniority. How could they be the opponents of the Jurchens?
Thinking about it, if the Jurchens really came to the capital, these guys would be so scared that they would wet their pants.
"Anyway, Master Wang has great disbelief in the fighting power of these people.
"You go to the Lifanyuan now and tell them what we mean. I think at this juncture, the Ming court will not reject us."
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand and asked Master Wang to do this immediately.
Mrs. Wang nodded knowingly: "Okay, Your Highness, I will go to the Lifan Courtyard immediately."
In fact, Zhao Hongyu made such a decision because he did not want to continue waiting endlessly.
Judging from the current situation, if you want the imperial court to issue an order to visit you, you will have to wait at least half a year.
After all, the war will never end without a year and a half. When the war became unstable, the imperial court would no longer remember that there was still one of them in the Lifan Yuan.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t believe it. Five million silver plus one million shi of food. The imperial court was not moved by such a paid aid.
You know, now for money and food, the cabinet ministers, six ministries and the emperor are all having a huge headache.
After Mrs. Wang left, Zhao Hongyu also sat up from the recliner.
He raised his arms and stretched, then slowly walked towards the front yard¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
After leaving the house, Master Wang rode on a group of strong horses and quickly arrived at the Lifan Courtyard.
The guards on duty outside the Lifan Courtyard looked at each other after seeing Zhao Hongyu.
Look, this so-called envoy from the American Song Empire is here to trouble Yuan Cheng again.
Because Mrs. Wang comes here basically every day to inquire about news, everyone inside and outside the Lifanyuan knows him.
In addition, Master Wang was generous in his actions, so no one had any bad feelings towards him. It made Master Wang become a familiar face here, and at the same time, he also found out a lot of things from these people.
Although these things are insignificant, at least he has laid a good foundation for relationships with these people, right?
When Master Wang arrived at the gate of the Lifan Courtyard, he got off his horse and tied the reins to the horse-tying stone on the side of the gate.
"Old Wang, are you here again today?"
Today¡¯s guard recognized Mrs. Wang and said hello to Mrs. Wang.
Master Wang smiled and nodded, and responded: "Yes, I have to come and see you today. The imperial court has not yet issued an order to summon me, and my Highness is impatient to wait. So I came today just to see you." Yuan Cheng told him what my Highness meant."
Hearing this, the guard shook his head: "Old Wang, this is not the time. The court is in chaos now, who cares about you envoys? Something happened over there in Liaodong, I guess you guys know about it."
Mrs. Wang nodded, this matter had been spread all over the streets, how could he not know about it. (To be continued.
