"Hello everyone, sir! The little second child is polite! The blue-shirted storyteller saluted and looked quite magnanimous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing this, the businessmen sitting below all perked up, and looked at them with a smile on the corner of their mouths. It is impossible to say that the business can be so big that they are illiterate, but if they really read the newspaper, they basically cannot understand the allusions and the wording of the decree.

It's not that I can't understand it, but I can't understand the deep meaning behind it and all kinds of deep connections. And these are the keys to interpreting official articles.

In this way, in the current mass circulation of newspapers, many storytellers read newspapers part-time, with explanations or two, whether accurate or not, but at least people can understand what is accused in the article, and among the storytellers everywhere, Beijing Shi is the most, no other, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, love to talk about politics, the center is located, and he has a wide range of knowledge.

Smack!

A silver shadow fell from the sky, fell to the platform at the storyteller's feet, rolled a few times, and then stopped. The storyteller looked at it and saw that it was indeed a silver dollar that was now gradually circulating with the collection of commercial taxes.

"Say it well, there is still a reward for the prospective master who said it." A sentence floated faintly from the private room on the second floor, which surprised the storyteller inexplicably. It's not that he hasn't seen a tip, but in the past, it was a few red coins - this is equivalent to dozens of old copper coins, and the red coins are top ten coins, and the official price is set. is so extravagant, and he rarely sees a reward of one or two silver at a time.

"Thank you for this reward, you can see it, Xiao Lao'er, this Jingshi is not a fool, and he will definitely let you understand the things in the newspaper thoroughly." The storyteller bowed and thanked him.

Subsequently, he also entered the state and unfolded the newspaper, "Ladies and gentlemen, the little old man hasn't read the newspaper yet, let's see, is there anything big about today's issue of the newspaper?" ”

The storyteller said with a smile, the newspaper was opened, and he glanced at the front page of the headline, and when he saw it, his smile suddenly stiffened, and the whole person pinched the newspaper and stood stunned.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion below.

"What's wrong with this old man, isn't he crazy?" A businessman asked inexplicably.

"I don't think so, it should be some big news in the newspaper." There are businessmen who often come to this teahouse to explain.

The circulation of the Imperial Daily is not in the early morning like the newspapers of later generations, because the whole Ming Dynasty is this newspaper, so it seems to be more capricious, there is no fixed sales time, just printed and sold, and there is no fixed saying that it is one issue a day, when there is enough one page, when it will be issued, or when there is amazing news every day, it will be a day edition.

In the foreseeable future, Zhu Youxiao is estimated that he will not let go of the opening of newspapers, and the bad habit of the Imperial Daily is estimated to continue for a long time.

After an experienced person's explanation, others soon understood, I am afraid that today's newspaper published something terrible, the storyteller's expression, not many in the past, and then read out, it is indeed a shocking article, such as the class theory of the royal teacher last time.

"What the hell is the news, this old man hasn't come to his senses yet."

"yes, yes, I don't know if it's related to making money."

"That's not necessarily, the last time Liu Zongzhou refuted His Majesty, this old man also reacted in this way."

"Hey, that's not comparable, last time wasn't as long as this time, it's been almost a quarter of an hour."

There was a lot of discussion below, and finally the storyteller on the stage came to his senses, he glanced around, and then smiled bitterly, "This is good news, but it's too big, and I don't know if you can eat it." ”

When they heard this, all the merchants were happy, which meant that the article that surprised the storyteller had something to do with making money.

"Hurry up, read quickly." Those who are anxious can't help but urge, and those who can be published in the newspaper are at least not small, and they have a certain status in various places, and they may be able to get a piece of the pie.

"Then the little old man will read it." The storyteller shook the newspaper and began to recite aloud, "This morning, the Cabinet decreed that a national road construction plan will be launched........

As the newspaper was recited, the eyes of the merchant sitting below became brighter and brighter, and at last, it was like a wolf who had seen a beautiful woman, salivating and his eyes were red.

With the use of cement road, its convenience, more and more widely known, from the south to the north, as long as the pedestrians and businessmen who walk through this kind of road, all praise each other, many businessmen who go south and north have said, if the whole country is this kind of road.

Now, the cabinet has announced that the construction of roads across the country will be carried out under the overall leadership of Wang Zuo, a scholar of Beige University, and the local government will implement the construction, and their first reaction is that the future trade routes will be better.

Immediately, as the news was revealed, they were momentarily stunned, and then turned into wolves. This is because the cement used to build the roads is procured locally, not by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade.

To be honest, Zhu Youxiao's several money-making technologies are well protected, especially perfumes, spirits, glass, etc., but the cement technology leaked out. No way, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are too smart, as long as they look at the cement to guess the raw materials, and then some experiments, they can almost make it, of course, the effect is not as good as the inner house, but the basic rapid condensation and low cost are available.

It's just that no one dares to produce, although Jinyiwei is now restrained, but he still has the right to handle the Qin case, and this private production of cement was located by Zhu Youxiao Qin case, and under several raids, naturally no one produced. Craftsmen who studied cement production were also sent to Liaodong.

To a certain extent, the proliferation of cement technology has been temporarily contained. But the convenience of cement has left a deep impression on everyone's hearts.

Nowadays, in order to build roads, the inner government can be regarded as opening up this restriction and allowing local production, but there are certain prerequisites, one is to donate the land statistics under his own name, and wait until the land reform is directly handed over to the government for distribution, and the other is to participate in this cement quota auction conference and buy the supply status of local cement with silver.

After the entire announcement was read out, the entire teahouse seemed to have exploded, and there was a buzz of discussion everywhere.

"The cabinet will invest 30 million taels of silver to build roads!" A businessman's eyes were as wide as bull's eyes, and his expression was very surprised, obviously shocked by this large number.

What is the concept of 30 million taels, during the Wanli period, the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only four or five million taels of silver, which was a full six or seven years of government revenue investment.

"It's not the cabinet, it's Your Majesty, all the investments are invested by Your Majesty, where is the money in the cabinet now, it's good to be able to send out those officials." They have personal experience in the collection of commercial taxes, and with the constant reporting of newspapers, they have a very good understanding of the situation of the cabinet.

"It doesn't matter who he is, 30 million taels, if he can participate in it and supply raw materials, I don't know how much he can earn." A businessman said disdainfully. Zhu Youxiao exempted all the old taxes of the Ming Dynasty and replaced them with commercial taxes. Among them is the forced labor system, and now the Ministry of Industry uses a mercenary system to build anything, and this is the case when the road was built in the north and south before, and these businessmen who traveled from south to north are no strangers to it.

The whole hall was full of discussions, and the topics were not far from 30 million taels of silver, talking about how to get a piece of the pie.

Some said they wanted to provide food, some said they wanted to provide tools, some said they wanted to compete with cement producers, and some planned to provide manpower, and so on, making the scene look very lively.

Bang Bang Bang!

A few silver shadows flashed again, and it was still the private room just now, throwing out a reward of a few taels of silver, and the wealthy and wealthy merchant sitting below was red-eyed. This is the mule and horse market, although there are big businessmen who take the sea route like the black and thin merchants just now, but most of them still do some small sales business, a business down, but only a few dozen taels of profits, look at others a few taels of rewards, how not to be red-eyed.

"Please also explain a word or two." The local tyrant spoke, and the small merchants on the first floor were quiet, they were not knowledgeable enough to recognize the profound implications, but the storyteller who ate this meal was different, and they usually paid attention to these aspects.

"Thank you, guest." The storyteller is in charge. He was originally a down-and-out Xiucai in Beijing, and because of his studies at home, he had long been corrupted and clean, if he was in the countryside, he might be able to nourish one or two, but Jingshi was completely different, except for copying and writing, there was no capable partner for him.

Later, he began to tell stories for restaurants for a living, and when newspapers rose, he still had a little understanding of the government because of his concern about government affairs, so he began to do the business of interpreting newspapers. To be honest, there are many storytellers, but there are really few who can point to the important news articles on the newspaper and explain a thing or two.

This not only requires a deep understanding of the government officials, but also pays attention to the affairs of the world, and also has their own opinions. In the early years, this storyteller was quite honest in his family, and he traveled around with teachers and classmates, and he still had some knowledge, not the kind of pure nerd, so he explained it with some insight, and as time went by, his reputation spread.

Many people in the teahouse came to cheer on them, and they themselves couldn't understand the things behind the newspaper, so they naturally looked for someone who could understand them for advice.

"Please also explain a word or two." The merchants on the first floor also donated generously, throwing out red coins one by one. This is the rule, if you want to listen to the commentary, one person has one red money, and this is the income of the narrator. For this money, the teahouse does not take a profit, this is a business that benefits both sides, one makes money with the help of the platform, and the other continues to tell the storyteller to gather popularity and sell tea and snacks.

"Thank you, guests." The storyteller was in a group again, and when the scene was quiet again, he stood tall and jade, looked at the longing gaze around him, and slowly began his own judgment.
