Chapter 343 The Scary Financial Crisis
"This bad guy is indeed different from others, and he really has a bit of a benevolent demeanor."
"If it weren't for the fact that there are so many people queuing up, even this girl would want to buy some of these bonds!"
"I don't know how he came up with so many novel but extremely practical new gadgets."
On the top floor of the restaurant opposite the Daqin Royal Bank, Yu Ji began to talk to herself angrily.
After meeting Ying Zheng in Yuxuan Pavilion last time, Yu Ji planned to go home.
After all, her daughter's identity can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime.
If you want to avoid wearing gangs, the only way is to run away quickly.
Participating in martial arts under a false name, and even getting on the gold list, this is no joke.
But for some reason, Yu Ji was reluctant to leave every time she packed her bags.
Maybe it's because many new things in Xianyang City are more interesting than the lifeless Yujia Village, maybe it's because I have to wait for my brother.
In short, Yu Ji not only did not leave, but instead bought a small house in Xianyang City with the reward money she got from martial arts, and officially settled down.
And every time she heard news related to Ying Yu, she would pay attention to it deliberately.
What was in it, probably even Yu Ji herself didn't know very well.
On the other side, the Roman and Carthaginian envoys who also failed to see Ying Yu and could only temporarily stay in Xianyang City were also shocked by the hot scene of Daqin people snapping up bonds.
"This Qin man is too rich, isn't he?"
The envoy of Carthage, Leslie, who saw that the 2000 million yuan quota had been snapped up in less than half an hour, was dumbfounded by the people of Xianyang City who were complaining.
"If your Carthage Senate is willing to do the same as Daqin and benefit the people, I think this kind of hot scene will also appear in Carthage."
"It's a pity that your nobles in Carthage are all misers and misers. They have suffered defeats on the front line, and they are reluctant to donate a penny.
Your Carthage is corrupt, and only my great Roman Empire can save you. "
The Roman envoy Constantine taunted proudly.
"Haha... This is the best joke I've heard today. Your Roman vanguard has been suppressed by Marshal Hannibal and has no power to resist. Otherwise, you Rome would not have come to Great Qin for help."
"So what? Didn't you Carthage also come to Daqin for help?"
"Ask for help? You are wrong. Our Carthage is a member of the Daqin Business Alliance. This time, this envoy is here to discuss business cooperation with Daqin."
"As for the members of the business alliance, don't deceive yourself, do you think I will believe it?"
"Believe it or not!"
The two foreign envoys directly tore apart, and the smell of gunpowder became more and more intense. If it weren't for the concern that it was Daqin here, I'm afraid they would have started directly.
But after calming down, the eyes of the two foreign envoys lit up.
Since Daqin can issue bonds, why can't they follow suit and issue bonds domestically?
Although the people of Rome and Carthage were far less wealthy than those of Great Qin, the nobles of both countries were very wealthy.
If you can use bonds to attract the nobles' money, wouldn't you have the money to recruit soldiers and kill the hateful Carthage/Romans?
The more the two foreign envoys thought about it, the more excited they became, and they didn't care about the quarrel at the moment. They went back to their residences and started writing letters to China.
And Jin Yiwei's secret agent, who was in charge of monitoring their every move, also sent the news to Ying Yu as soon as possible.
"Rome and Carthage, want to learn from my Daqin issue of bonds?"
Meng Yi frowned and said: "His Royal Highness, do you want someone to detain the letter they sent back to China?"
"That's true, otherwise, if they really learn it, wouldn't it be cheaper for them!"
Chen Ping also nodded in agreement.
Under the guidance of Ying Yu, the main officials of Daqin have fully realized the danger of capitalizing on the enemy.
For this reason, a decree was specially added, and any foreigner who tried to steal the advanced technology and culture of Daqin would be severely punished.
There will never be a situation in the history of later generations where foreigners come to the Central Plains Dynasty to easily learn advanced culture and technology, and in turn deal with the Central Plains Dynasty.
"No need, the prince deliberately let them hear about the bond."
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
"May I ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to explain the reason?"
Meng Yi asked with some doubts.
Chen Ping was also extremely puzzled, only Xiao He had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Xiao Pushe seems to have already guessed it, why don't you let him talk about it."
Seeing Xiao He's reaction, Ying Yu directly called the names.
"His Royal Highness is overrated."
Xiao He saluted Ying Yu, and then said:
"In my opinion, His Royal Highness wants to use the bonds to make the Romans and Carthage fight more intensely so that I, Daqin, can take over in the future. I wonder if it is correct?"
"It's a bit of a correct answer. Are there other reasons?"
When Xiao He heard this, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, and he continued tentatively after a long time:
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes to cause Rome and Carthage to issue bonds indiscriminately, which will damage their national prestige and reputation, and cause internal chaos?"
The smile on Ying Yu's face suddenly became stronger.
As expected of a good prime minister through the ages, Xiao He's learning ability and foresight are definitely ahead of the whole Great Qin.
Only then did Meng Yi and others suddenly realize that it was not His Royal Highness who was negligent, but His Royal Highness hoped to use this bond to accelerate the collapse of Rome and Carthage.
The country's reputation has collapsed, and lessons have been learned many times in successive dynasties.
The most recent one was King Zhou You of the Fenghuo Opera Princes. This guy just completely killed the Western Zhou Dynasty.
And the bankruptcy of the bonds caused many aristocrats who invested in bonds to lose their money, and the consequences caused by this were definitely more terrible than that of King Zhou You.
If one is not careful, the great Rome and Carthage will fall apart directly.
If there is civil strife between the two countries, it will be much easier for Great Qin to conquer the Far West in the future.
Even more frightening, this is a very obvious conspiracy.
Not to mention that it is very possible not to know the dangers of bonds, even if they know, the consuls of the two countries will have to swallow this bitter fruit.
Because it has been fighting for decades, and Daqin is building the Suez Canal on the side, and the tiger sees the delay.
For Rome and Carthage, the only hope is to solve the opponent as soon as possible.
And to solve the opponent, the most basic and necessary thing is money.
Bonds are undoubtedly the best means of raising large amounts of funds in the short term.
Once it succeeds once, the two countries facing a stalemate in the war situation will inevitably issue the second batch, and it has been out of control ever since.
In the end, it will fall into a financial crisis, and the people will be completely disappointed with the country.
Thinking of this, Meng Yi and the others looked at Ying Yu with expressions of awe.
To be an enemy of His Highness the Crown Prince is really terrible!
Fortunately, I was born in Daqin!
Fortunately, His Royal Highness is from Daqin!
