Daqin: Signing in at the beginning is ten times the combat power of Lu Bu

Chapter 391 Lack of money?Start a company, sell stocks

Xianyang Palace, imperial study.

Ying Zheng, who had reviewed the memorial for a whole day, walked out of the imperial study room, and looked at the sunset that had not yet fully set, with a smile on his face.

With the refinement of the responsibilities of the three provinces and the six ministries, more basic affairs were allocated, and Yingzheng's workload was reduced a lot, and he could finally have some leisure time every day.

After looking in the direction of the courtyard gate, the smile on Ying Zheng's face grew wider.

"Little Anping, come give Grandpa Huang a smile!"

Ying Zheng looked at Xiao Xin'er in Wang Ying's arms happily, and said kindly.

Xiao Xin'er babbled and waved her little hand, which instantly made Ying Zheng happy.

"Even if you have a heart, you still know how to bring little Anping to see me."

Ying Zheng smiled and said while teasing his little granddaughter.

"During this time, Erchen has been busy sorting out the medical books on maternity and child care. Not only did he just finish his work, he sent the finished manuscript to the emperor."

Ying Yu smiled and took out a thick medical book and handed it to Ying Zheng:

"This is a gift for our little Xin'er, to all mothers and babies in Daqin."

"Not bad!"

Ying Zheng flipped through it casually. In addition to the medical content and annotations, the book also has various vivid illustrations. Even someone like Ying Zheng who has only a little bit of medical knowledge can see the general idea. The medical classics collected in the palace are much stronger.

"By the way, what is this?"

Ying Zheng suddenly found a strange drawing in the middle of the book, and asked curiously.

"Father, this is called a stethoscope. Its function is to amplify the sound. When you stick it to the corresponding part, you can hear the sound of the internal organs. It can help doctors better diagnose the condition in the patient's body."

"Isn't my Daqin now organizing doctors from the medical clinic to go to counties and townships to conduct rounds? If there is a stethoscope to assist, the efficiency will be improved a lot."

Ying Yu explained with a smile.

"This stethoscope is a good thing."

After listening to Ying Yu's explanation, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

The improvement of the level of medical treatment is an important weapon to improve the satisfaction of the people of Daqin, and it is also the key to the long-term governance of Daqin.

Especially the health of pregnant women and newborns is directly related to the population growth rate of Daqin.

The increase in population is the most important thing for Daqin to ensure the rule of the empire on which the sun never sets.

The reason why Daqin has temporarily slowed down the pace of expanding its territory to the Western Regions is that the Suez Grand Canal has not yet been completed and cannot enter the Mediterranean Sea.

Another important reason is that if the expansion is too fast, it is difficult to maintain the absolute dominance of the people of the Qin nationality.

The absolute population advantage of the main ethnic group is of great significance to the stability of the Great Qin Empire.

"By the way, the fleet to explore the New World has already set off. Regarding the construction funds, what do you guys think?"

After chatting for a while, Ying Zheng habitually returned to the topic above the court.

For the exploration and development of the new continent, all the courtiers of the Great Qin Dynasty are relatively supportive.

After all, this is an extremely huge and fertile area. Not to mention the massive mineral deposits above, even the vast land is enough to make people tempted.

Although many places in Daqin are sparsely populated, the population will always increase.

According to Ying Yu's goal, it is to increase the population of Daqin to more than [-] million within a hundred years.

It is absolutely right to occupy more land in advance.

Moreover, this is a land without owner, and there are no troubles that the aborigines in the Western Regions can't deal with.

The only problem is that Nei Shi Teng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said with a gloomy face that the treasury is going to be empty again.

Although the income of the Daqin treasury is booming, the expenditure is also greater, and many engineering projects are being carried out at the same time, so that Nei Shiten can only maintain a relatively balanced state even if he tries his best to operate.

If you want to make large-scale investment and development in the New World thousands of miles away, it is really beyond your capabilities.

"Do all departments have proposals for financing?"

Ying Yu asked.

"It's nothing more than a loan from the Daqin Royal Bank, or continuing to issue bonds."

"However, both of these have to bear a lot of interest, and the New World is still too far away from the mainland of Daqin, and the payback cycle will be quite long, which will easily delay the construction of the mainland. All departments are still considering it."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Your boy is recognized as a Shang sage by Daqin, so you must be able to come up with a solution?"

For Ying Yu's ability to make money, the entire Great Qin Dynasty Hall, from top to bottom, has great trust.

Therefore, whether it is the courtiers or Ying Zheng, the first thought when they are short of money is to find Ying Yu.

"Since the interest rate is too high, then think of a way to avoid interest."

Ying Yu smiled and said, this question is very difficult for the courtiers, but for Ying Yu, it couldn't be easier.

"No interest, could it be that you want to let the Daqin Royal Bank take an interest-free loan?"

"But isn't this inconsistent with the previous regulations?"

Ying Zheng asked puzzledly.

In order to avoid abusing the deposits of the Daqin Royal Bank and damaging the reputation of the bank, Daqin also specially formulated corresponding regulations. Even if the treasury borrows money from the bank, interest must be paid.

Although the interest rate is much lower than the market loan interest rate, the development of the New World costs tens of millions of dollars to start, and the interest rate is definitely not a small sum.

"A loan from a bank is just the first layer of financing."

"A higher level is to upgrade the bank to a bank and directly replace the gold, silver and copper coins with money notes. At that time, you only need to print money notes."

"However, for the current Daqin, it will take some time to operate, and it is easy to cause foreign depositors to exchange their savings back, so we will not consider it for the time being."

"The best way I can think of right now is to form Newland Development Co., Ltd., issue shares to the public, and raise funds from the entire Daqin."

Ying Yu smiled slightly.

If you want to increase the enthusiasm of the people of Daqin for the development of the New World, there is nothing more practical than the shares related to your own income.

Moreover, with the rapid development of Daqin's business, there will be more and more private spare funds, and the demand for financial management methods will become higher and higher.

This can be seen from the extent to which bonds have been snatched up.

It is time for Daqin to start issuing shares.

It can not only allow the people of Daqin to have investment channels, but also the court can obtain sufficient funds without paying interest, and it can also increase people's attention to the New World. It can be said to be a real win-win situation.

Moreover, there is also a very successful example in the history of later generations.

That is the East Tianzhu Company of the British Empire on which the Sun Never Sets.
