boldness filled his chest.At this moment, Su Zhendong walked to Li Chen's side."My lord, these three thousand soldiers were carefully selected from the various military camps and garrisons. They are...Chapter 1179: Cheat A Batch First

Li Chen's single sentence addressed Liu Sichun's biggest concern.

This also proves that Li Chen never intended to do something like borrowing without repaying, or killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Liu Sichun let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness is wise, the humble one admires you."

"Rarely do I hear such sweet words from your lips."

Li Chen smiled and said, "This matter needs to be done quickly."

"How soon is soon"

Li Chen said firmly, "Now that the war at Yueya Pass has begun, domestic troops are also on their way. Once reinforcements arrive, it will inevitably be a major battle. The national treasury won't last more than half a month."

"So, within half a month, you have to raise this fifty million taels of silver" Liu Sichun looked at Li Chen and asked.

"This task won't be easy to complete, dare you take it on" Li Chen asked.

Liu Sichun took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying: "If the prince needs the Liu family's help, it is our honor. No matter how difficult it is, the Liu family will overcome each one."

"Okay."

Li Chen's heart relaxed, and he said: "As long as you finish this matter, this palace will give you a huge reward."

"Anything the Imperial Court needs, as long as Liu Family can provide it, they will have priority. And you," "you", "will be this Palace's designated imperial merchant."

As soon as Li Chen spoke, Liu Sichun hadn't even had a chance to reply before Liu San Shu almost jumped out of his skin.

"Subject, thanks Your Highness for your kindness!"

Liu Sichun was also so excited that she bit her lip.

But she was not as distraught as Uncle Liu San.

Because she knew that behind this great opportunity, there was a tremendous challenge.

After much deliberation, Liu Sichun said again: "Your Highness, I can handle all the other matters, but there is one thing that absolutely requires your personal involvement."

"You said so." Li Chen readily agreed.

"The new national bonds are fresh news to everyone, so ordinary people and merchants who purchase them will inevitably have some concerns. After all, throughout history there have been cases where things didn't go as planned, and no one knows for sure if it will succeed or if their hard-earned savings will be lost."

Liu Sichun's words made Li Chen nod in agreement.

Why does the first person to eat crab get the benefit

Because everyone is afraid, they don't know if the crabs are poisonous after eating them.

Looking back at past events from a historical perspective can be limited. People tend to remember those who successfully ventured into new territories and profited, but they often overlook the circumstances and context of the time. In reality, many people might not have had the courage to take such risks themselves, even if presented with the same opportunities.

Therefore, a group of leading figures are needed to spark this trend and show everyone that these bonds are not only backed by the imperial court's guarantee but also involve many renowned merchants and prominent landowners who have already invested.

“People are all prone to herd mentality, and anyone who is slightly intelligent can see through the risks after a little thought. Unless the imperial court is willing to offend everyone in the world, which obviously they won't do. Therefore, as long as these large merchants and landlords take the lead, followers will naturally flock behind them.”

"It's just a matter of getting those shrewd merchants and landlords to hand over their hard-earned money. This woman is outmatched, so she can only leave it to the emperor to handle."

Li Chen listened and asked, "Do you mean that this palace should personally go out to gather them and have them buy national bonds"

Liu Sichun smiled shrewdly and said, "They will certainly have to buy national bonds, but in my humble opinion, this matter should be handled by the emperor himself, not by the prince."fe is saved.Right now, if Li Chen insists on killing him, even with the entire court of scholars and officials opposing him, people all over the world would accuse the Crown Prince of slaughtering his...
