"Don't be afraid! Because my lord doesn't dare!"

"Why?" Lao Zhu really didn't think there was anything he didn't dare to do.

"Because the Lord loves the people!" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "These grains are temporarily stored with me by the people. If they need it, they will naturally come to withdraw it, so I can't lend it all to the Lord. And the Lord must return it in full on time.

Only in this way can we explain it to thousands of people. Otherwise, the people will know that their food reserves have been taken away, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and fell silent. He took the account from Zhang Ximeng's hand and looked through it carefully, thoughtfully.

What Zhang Ximeng showed him were exactly two systems, one is called finance and taxation, and the other is called finance!

The so-called finances and taxes are naturally the land taxes and miscellaneous taxes collected by the imperial court, and these revenues are completely placed at the disposal of the government.

The other set is the financial system. The money in this system does not belong to the court and cannot be used directly.

However, as long as the loan is borrowed at interest and guaranteed to be returned, it can be obtained, which greatly increases the amount of wealth at the court's disposal.

Just like the current situation, the food and salary that Lao Zhu can control can be doubled, or even super doubled!

Similarly, you also need to bear the consequences. The first is to repay the money in full to ensure credit. The second is to borrow money to fight the war. You must win. If you lose and the money is not paid, the consequences will be disastrous.

Facing the bank's new way of playing, Lao Zhu was not immediately overjoyed. On the contrary, he looked very solemn.

Such a big matter cannot be decided easily.

"Sir, take the time to accompany us to see for yourself, and then go to a few depositors' homes. We want to hear what they have to say."

Zhang Ximeng nodded vigorously, and even felt a little relieved. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was cautious and astute, was the ideal head of the family.

Time entered late August, and a secret letter arrived in Chuzhou from Dadu, passed through the hands of Jia Lu, and was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"My lord, the Yuan Dynasty has decided to let Prime Minister Tuotuo lead the army. He has gathered all the troops from across the country and brought in the kings' troops from the northwest. The total number is more than 400,000. He is preparing to claim a million and take Gaoyou directly to kill Zhang Shicheng first!"

At this moment, Yuan Ting did not issue a formal order, but Jia Lu was able to get the information so accurate. This old man is also a god.

Jia Lu was not willing to pretend to be mysterious in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng, and told them directly, "I used to be Zhongshu Zuocheng, and I still know a few people in Zhongshu Province. But now I am considered a dead person, and I can only

Let others do it for you and buy some information from them."

Zhang Ximeng naturally believed what Jia Lu said, but if he could even sell such important military information, was Yuan Ting really sure of winning?
