Chapter 55 Finance 2

To disrupt the attack rhythm of Qin and force it to enter the vicious cycle of fishing in the dry pond, this is the precious legacy left by Zhao. Not to mention Fu Ying, just in this sense, the money lent to Zhao people will be worth it if it is not returned in the future.

The ministers of the Zheng Dynasty were unwilling to send troops to rescue Zhao, but they never underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army, otherwise they would not have been willing to defeat Qi and save Zhao. It was in this context that the Zhao army had received the support of the ministers of the Zheng Dynasty, but this incident made Shi Zhi extremely difficult.

The concept of bank savings has not been accepted by merchants all over the world. The lack of experience, inconvenience of transportation, and difficulty in finding security have made bank branches limited to cities with convenient transportation. Of course, a large part of the reason is that the local family of Qian was secretly resisting. Without absolute power, bank branches are indeed not comparable to Egypt. The Royal Bank of Egypt founded by Ptolemy covers Egypt and Syria, and basically monopolizes the banking business in Egypt.

The four-country gold bank outlets did not absorb much gold and silver. In the case of treasury bond sales, the rest could only rely on Wang Ting's finances. Wang Ting's finances were not optimistic, and the trade profits were extremely rich in the first three years. In the fourth and fifth years, they could only rely on treasury bond sales to support arms expansion.

Although the State of Zhao was destroyed, the national bonds and bonds of Zhao were not abolished. King Zhao and the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank still promised to accept the national bonds of Zhao. The seizure of the Qin Shaofu gold slightly alleviated the financial dilemma last year, but just a little bit, Zhao's army replaced the clothes and purchased 30,000 gold beddings and was likely to cause the finances to go bankrupt early.

When Shi Jie spoke, Xiong Jing was looking at him. As the king of Chu, he looked at the financial statements provided by the Four Kingdoms Financial Bank every three months. He still had some questions: Wang Ting, Dafu, and Four Kingdoms Financial Banks have how much gold and silver are there? How much gold and silver is there in flowing? When will the finances go bankrupt? When will the red bank's capture in Southern Arabia be transferred to Chu? Are you sure to accept the first treasury bonds due this year?

Xiong Jing looked at Shi Yu. Shi Yu thought he was changing clothes for Zhao Jun, so he said, "King, I think that even though the dynasty has promised Zhao people, he should not change clothes in one year. This matter should be changed in three years."

"Three years..." Jingshu blinked, "How can it be three years? As one of the same army, some people have to be subdued, while others have not..."

"Then 100,000 people will be divided into three armies, and they will all be replaced in one year." Shi Zhi interrupted. "The Zhao army is very troublesome to change gears, but the purchase of horses is very troublesome. This year, it will take more than 40,000 horses. Which is more important, the gears or horses?"

"Fifty thousand horses?" Xiong Jing was extremely surprised. He looked at Naojiu and Jingshu again. "The number I discussed last time was only 20,000 horses, why did it become 50,000 horses?"

"The king doesn't know what he meant." Shi Jie bowed. "Today there are horses, and the nearest place is Yan Dai Donghu. The Qin army attacked Qi people in the south, and Yan Dai was in peace. If the Qin people transferred the troops to attack Yan Dai first, where would I buy horses?"

"This is my fault for delaying my refusal." Naojiu said. He knew about this, but did not inform Xiong Jing of this matter in time. "More than 100,000 horses in the army were lost in a year of fierce battle, so the previous proposal was to buy 20,000 horses. However..."

"Last month, the sea boat went to Brownstone Port, and the purchase prices changed drastically, and the horses were more powerful than before. Therefore, I thought that the Qin merchants had been sent to the Yan Dian land." Shi Zhi explained the reason why he decided to buy more horses.

"Qin people? Merchants?" Xiong Jing recited these two words. The connection between Qin people and merchants made him feel very unnatural.

"That's right." Shi Zhi said. "It is to be said that Zhao Shang, who was trafficked by Qin people, has entered the Yan Dynasty. They urgently need giant iron. This matter is only a speculation of the ministers and has no evidence. However, Donghu urgently needs giant iron."

When Shi Zhi spoke, Xiong Jing looked at me quickly, and did not let me shake my head. There were spies in the Yan Dynasty who knew the other officials, and there were bright and dark things, but no matter how bright and dark things were, they did not report that the Yan Dynasty had collusion with the Qin people.

The Qin people's attitude towards Yan Dai, the Grand Sima Mansion had previously discussed it specifically. The basic judgment was that the Yan Dai would remain for a period of time. If the Qin army captured Yan Dai, the Zhao people in Yan Dai would inevitably defect to the Hu people on the grassland. Stopping Yan Dai became a task for the Qin army, and the Zhao people with their familiarity with Zhao could completely convince the Hu tribes on the grassland to return to the Zhao territory. If the Qin army wanted to defend Yan Dai, it would take at least 100,000 or even 200,000 people.

The two years ago, the Chu and Zhao cavalry rushed from the Yan clan to attack Xianyang. Later, the Qin army was in Henan. This led to the "sentiment of Meng Tian to attack Rongdi in the north" in history. The Qin army's defense line was already in Yinshan. Although most of the people migrated from the 300,000 people were migrated, and the Qin army was less than 100,000, this still squeezed the already tight forces of Qin. If they captured the Yan territory, the troops would be even tighter.

However, which one is more important than the Chu State's acquisition of a large number of horses? It depends on one's opinion. Horses are the driving force of the army. In the Huainan and Jiangdong, where the pools and zoning are continuous and the ditches are crisscrossing, the horses are of little use; in Shangyu, Fangcheng, Jiuying, Huaibei, and Qi State, the horses have a great effect. Without more than 40,000 horses, the Chu army would not have saved Qi.

"If so..." Xiong Jing pondered, he simply stopped considering Zhao Jun's dressing change, but asked directly: "Buy 50,000 horses, when will the gold from the Grand Mansion be available? What will the first bond maturity?"

"Report to the King, the gold of the Great Mansion..." Shi Jie was about to give a brief explanation to Xiong Jing, but unexpectedly, he only said half of the sentence when someone suddenly shouted outside the Mingtang: "I have something to do and report to the King!"

"Who are you? What's the matter?" The soldiers below the ranks stopped him. "The king is discussing the court at this time..."

"I have something important to you in urgent need of the king!" The person who called out himself was Zeng Yin, the second son of Zeng Xia, the Yin of Xiyang Yi. When Xiong Jing's expression suddenly changed, he felt something was wrong. "Zhao Zeng Yin."

"Summon Zeng Yin." The meeting came to an end for the time being, and Xiong Jing summoned Zeng Yin with an unhappy expression.

"Qijiu," Zeng Yin saw Naojiu sitting in Mingtang. Shi Gui, please don't let us and others say nothing, so he hurriedly shut up. Xiong Jing could only wave his sleeves and let Naojiu and others retreat into the room. When only he and Chang Jiang were left in Mingtang, Zeng Yin whispered: "Qijiu, the King, Si Yin is the servant."

"Why did you die?" Zeng Yin was a confidant official of the Si official, and Qu Kai was his immediate superior. Qu Kai's death was no small matter.

"Jumped off the building and died." Zeng bowed indifferently. "However..."

"What is it?!" Is it popular to jump off buildings in this era? Xiong Jing's expression became very bad. Zeng Yin said so, and he asked urgently.

"Si Yin Liushu said that he was suffering from depression, but I thought there must be hidden feelings in it." Zeng Yin said, "It's a pity that this matter is not accurate."

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!" Xiong Jing slapped the case with a palm. The confidant Si Yin died. This does not mean the Security Bureau. Is Director FBI dead? And Qu Kai is cautious. He has been doing everything for the Qin State Hou Jisu since Si Yin. How could he die?
