"I obey." Ma Mingluan bowed his hands and walked out of the hall and shouted.

"Come here, open the door, the sale of the first tranche of the Ming Dynasty's treasury bonds begins!"

In order to achieve a deterrent effect, Ma Mingluan specially mobilized two hundred Yiding.

These two hundred Yiding were all wearing uniforms and were pierced like javelins throughout the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, after the gate was opened, the Jin gentry and merchants who had been waiting for a long time did not dare to make any mistakes. Instead, they walked in according to the queue and entered their seats under the guidance of the scholars.

The sales site is still a waterside pavilion and cloister.

More than a thousand gentry and merchants were led into the surrounding cloisters.

Ma Mingluan walked to the middle waterside pavilion with great ambition.

"Everyone, since there are quite a few gentry and merchants present, the 20 million taels of bonds sold in the first phase may not be enough to sell. Therefore, in order to ensure that everyone can buy the bonds, I will change the rules here."

Dozens of Han generals quickly spread what Ma Mingluan had just said throughout the surrounding corridors.

Hearing this, many Jin gentry merchants who arrived late breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that they would buy bonds in order, so that when it was their turn, they wouldn't even be able to drink the soup.

Ma Mingluan added: "We will first count the number of people present and the expected purchase amount, and then set a ratio as appropriate, and then convert it according to this ratio. Don't worry, everyone here will be able to buy bonds."

Soon, hundreds of scholars took the roster and walked into the corridor to ask questions one by one.

After the scholar got the first-hand data, he quickly sent it to the accounting room and handed it over to the accounting clerk for statistics.

After a while, the final figures were presented to the Chongzhen Emperor. A total of 1,073 Jin gentry merchants were present, and the expected bond purchase amount was more than 60 million!

To be honest, Ma Mingluan was frightened by this number.

Sixty million! The maximum annual income next year will only be twenty million!

Chongzhen's mood seemed very calm, which was almost as he expected.

Although he has done a lot of groundwork, the change of concepts and habits does not happen overnight.

It is definitely not an easy task to get the entire Jiangnan gentry and merchants to accept and embrace the financial industry.

Chongzhen's psychological expectation was 20%. As long as 20% of private savings were mobilized, it would be a success.
