Chapter 557 Dividends(2/3)
In addition, this kind of behavior is expanding the territory.
Looking at the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there are really too few emperors who can achieve the same achievements as he has now.
If this battle can really take down the Huns.
Doesn't he want to directly replicate Emperor Wu's achievements?
Liu Hong never dreamed that one day he would be able to compare with Emperor Wu.
However, this dream is now within sight.
How could this not make him excited?
Wait until this dividend is received.
Liu Hong ran over to Qin Yu without hesitation: "My dear, I have something urgent!"
"I feel that although the three elite troops you sent out, my dear, are strong, their numbers are too small."
"And I, a great man, have so many sons and daughters, so how can I not let more sons and daughters take part in the good deeds of making great achievements and protecting the country?"
"I feel that, my dear, you are trapped because of the lack of money in the previous treasury, so I have decided to provide you with additional investment now!"
"I have saved a lot of money in Xiyuan over the years. If you take it all, consider it as support from me. Don't be polite to me!"
Qin Yu responded with a smile: "I would like to thank your majesty first. I will calculate the money from your majesty and return it to the shares."
Liu Hong laughed loudly: "My dear, what you said is really outrageous. I am now investing money to defend against foreign enemies. This is my duty. How can I use you to make other shares?"
Qin Yu said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. All money entering the treasury and investing in our Han army must be treated equally. Only in this way can the people who have money and food in the world rest assured. This is also the basis of our credibility."
Liu Hong said with a smile: "I don't understand what you said, but I believe in you. I will do what you said in the future. No matter what the result is, I will always stand behind you, so you can rest assured.
Be bold and do it!”
After that, he left happily.
Then he returned to the palace and waited for the next batch of dividends to arrive.
And with Qin Yu's first batch of dividends being distributed.
The businessmen and aristocratic families who had invested part of Qin Yu's money also reacted.
This is a big business and can be profitable!
Especially those merchants whose status had been elevated by Qin Yu before.
Although they now have to pay more taxes to Qin Yu.
But nowadays, the Han Dynasty does not care about their business activities or their status as merchants.
It's much better than before.
more importantly.
Qin Yu paid them the dividends as agreed, allowing them to see Qin Yu's sincerity and Qin Yu's credibility.
They had thought that Qin Yu had pried away the so-called investments from their hands.
It's just a clever excuse to take money from them.
No one expected it.
The goods Qin Yu took away from them were exactly what Qin Yu had told them before.
It has become a tool that can continue to make money for them and reap benefits.
Moreover, the difficulty and speed of making money are much safer than what they did before.
Nowadays, each of the four major business families is thinking about the feasibility of continuing to increase their shareholdings in the future.
And at this time.
Qin Yu's decree was decentralized to various states and counties.
He was going to start opening banks in various states and counties.
People in various prefectures and counties can deposit their remaining money in banks, and by depositing in banks, they can earn a certain amount of profits on a regular basis.
And you can also invest these money and assets into the army shares in the bank.
As long as the Ming Dynasty's army develops and obtains property, they will be able to obtain sufficient rewards from these properties.
At the same time, Qin Yu also encouraged these people to join in business and various handicrafts.
Encourage the reclamation of wasteland.
Today's population is sufficient, but there has been no way to arrange these people into positions suitable for them.
In other words, there is no shortage of labor force, they just lack social positions to create wealth.
Qin Yu knows it very well.
In fact, ancient people did not lack creativity at all.
The experience and wisdom of our ancestors cannot be underestimated.
This is why the various tools of farming civilization seem to have not developed much since the Zhou Dynasty.
It's just out of political necessity.
Once production tools are continuously iterated, the difficulty of farming will be greatly reduced.
There are not enough jobs to accommodate the growing population in society.
At that time, instability will naturally arise that threatens the dynasty.
But these things are nothing to Qin Yu.
Not to mention that his path of mercantile and heavy industrialization will inevitably create many jobs that did not exist before in today's society.
This will bring huge population costs.
Just those lands that were pioneered and conquered through foreign wars.
It is also enough to digest a large population.
If the population growth rate further increases with material affluence.
Then there is the possibility of immigration.
In the future, the Ganges Plain and the Mongolian grasslands will be places that require large populations.
There is an even shortage of people in the Northeast.
Just wipe out all the barbarians who are disobedient to discipline over there.
After carving out a huge plain.
It will definitely be able to provide a large amount of food every year.
However, if you want to open up the Northeast, resisting the severe cold must be your top priority.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In short, Qin Yu is not afraid of population explosion at all.
On the contrary, he was even more looking forward to such a scene happening.
Sixth month.
With the arrival of the second batch of financial supplies.
The profits gained from the expedition against the Huns have greatly exceeded Liu Hong's previous expectations.
Another month passed.
Good news came from the border.
The royal court of the Xiongnu was completely destroyed by Lu Bu and the Southern Xiongnu.
A large number of Xiongnu began to flee deeper into the grassland.
Lu Bu didn't want to miss the good opportunity to harvest.
Then he led the Southern Xiongnu cavalry to continue the pursuit.
Only when he finally arrived near Lake Baikal did Lu Bu stop his pursuit.
At this time, the Xiongnu had been beaten to pieces.
And all the supplies accumulated by the Southern Xiongnu over the years have been consumed by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu did not go further, but returned to the court with a large number of Xiongnu slaves.
Along the way, the Huns suffered numerous casualties.
When we returned to Luoyang, of the hundreds of thousands of slaves we brought with us when we set out, there were now less than a hundred thousand left.
These slaves naturally became the materials captured by Lu Bu.
The slave matter was also arranged by Qin Yu.
He is not going to turn back the clock on history.
Return from this feudal dynasty to slavery.
