Chapter 839: War Bonds
As the scandal of Western Xia intensified in the world, Li Yuanhao was also discredited, and it was a bit unexpected for a man who founded the country and became the emperor to bear the infamy in this way, but the direction of public opinion has obviously been dominated by scholars who have carved Confucianism into their bones.
But at this time, the Great Song Dynasty did not move, and even the rangers who harassed the Western Xia in the past were greatly reduced, making the world speculate that this was respecting the national mourning of the Western Xia, of course, this is impossible, in the eyes of Zhao Zhen, Li Yuanhao is such a faint king, tyrant, such a death is deserved, and now the Great Song Dynasty is actually playing a bigger game of chess.
Beijing City, Beiping Prefecture, the political, cultural and economic center of the Great Song Dynasty has seen unprecedented development, the urbanization of the Great Song Dynasty has begun to appear as early as the Zhenzong period, with the increasing national strength, the urbanization of the Great Song Dynasty has been promoted faster, which is the inevitable stage of historical development.
Today's Beijing city is more prosperous and noisy than Tokyo City, but the morning still follows the original rhythm of life of the Song people, and does not become any different because of the busy work, life is getting better and better, so that people seize the morning time to relax rarely, and then enter the busy day.
The noodle soup is still a hot noodle soup in the winter, but unlike in the city of Tokyo, the noodle soup is not held in the insulated Datong, but in a wooden cart, and a small stove is bubbling underneath, and the bottom of the noodle soup is replaced with a metal base, so that the water in the bucket is always hot, because Beijing is much larger than Tokyo......
Of course, not everyone likes to wash at home, the same, some morning tea shops also provide hot noodle soup service, but the price is a little more expensive than the hawker's, but it is really convenient, after getting up, I walked into the morning tea shop in a daze, ordered what I like to eat, and took advantage of the waiting interval to come to a basin of hot hot water and hot towel to apply the noodles, which is the most comfortable in the winter morning.
Several acquaintances got together to chat, or talk about the imperial court, or discuss the ugly things of Li Yuanhao in Western Xia, and after eating Qibao five-flavor porridge, they would rest comfortably for a while and prepare to work, and this time is the best time to be idle.
"Did you hear that? The imperial court is going to sell the land! ”
"Selling land? What land to sell? The land in our Beiping Mansion is worth a thousand gold, can the imperial court be willing to sell it? Hou San, where did you get the news? Isn't it being deceived? ”
The disdainful smile of the people on the side made Hou San annoyed: "You birdman, I kindly tell you, if you don't believe it, forget it, my family Erlang is on an errand in the house of a high-ranking official in the court, can you still know this news?" After a few more days, the official document will come down, and it will be time to see what else you have to say! Besides, who said that the land for sale belongs to our Beiping Mansion? It can't be somewhere else, like that of Western Xia? ”
The land of Western Xia? With Hou San's words, everyone was surprised, and many people began to shout: "This is a new story, you should say it!" ”
Hou San said with a smile: "In fact, it is very simple, that is, the local people in the land of Western Xia do not grow grain, but herd sheep and shear sheep, this land is either deserted, or ruined, since the army of the imperial court occupies these lands, it is natural to use them, so they began to sell!" ”
"How does this make it possible that in the past, no one reclaimed as much wasteland as he wanted? Why does the imperial court still want to sell it, does it cost money for everything now? The official family is benevolent and righteous, and will never do this! The helper on the side, Zhao Shimali, cleaned up the table and said in disbelief.
Hou San sprang up and said, "Hehe! You don't know that! The land of Western Xia is not an ordinary place! My family Erlang said, it is called Hetao, it has been a fertile field since ancient times, and the Yellow River that flooded in the past is very tame there, and you can pinch out a handful of oil when you grab a handful of soil! Such a good land is rare in the world, do you know why the court bought the land? Because as long as you buy more than ten acres of these lands, the imperial court will give you good seeds, saying that they are brought back from the other side of the East China Sea, and the yield per mu is terrifying! ”
Zhou Tai, the owner of the woodware workshop on the side, laughed and said, "You are hysterical, aren't you?" No matter how good this land is, in Xixia, to put it mildly, if there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water? After all, our roots are in Beijing! ”
Zhou Tai's words made many people agree, his family is in Beijing, what land to buy in Xixia? Even if it is bought who cultivates?
But Hou San showed a sly smile and said: "You must know that these wastelands belong to the imperial court, and they must have a title deed before they can be sold. In the future, if the army of the imperial court destroys the Western Xia, whose land does it belong to? ”
Everyone was reminded by his words, yes, these lands are wasteland now, and they need to be cultivated to grow food, if they buy it now and wait for the victory of the army, then the price of these lands will definitely skyrocket, and they will definitely make a fortune when the time comes!
Zhou Tai is worthy of being the shopkeeper for many years, and he instantly understood what Hou San meant, and stepped forward and said, "Brother Hou, is the news of this matter reliable?" If you can, the old man is willing to pay for it! ”
With Zhou Tai's words, the whole shop exploded, and even the shopkeeper of the morning tea shop shouted to sell these wastelands, Zhou Tai waved his hand again and again: "Be quiet!" This matter is not known to everyone, if you publicize it, lest some people with magical powers will know, and when the time comes, they will all be subscribed by the merchants, and we won't even be able to drink the soup! ”
Everyone quieted down, but they were all thinking about their own ways to see if they could ask someone to buy these lands first, but there was no impermeable force in the world, and soon when these people came to the factories or businesses, they found that everyone was talking about topics related to the land of Western Xia......
Since there are many people who buy land, the land has become precious, who doesn't want the handful of land that can pinch out the oil, who doesn't want the good seeds rewarded by the imperial court, although the grain price in the Great Song Dynasty has not risen much in the past two years, but it is much higher than before, as long as there is a large piece of land, produce enough grain, you can make a lot of money in less than two years.
Or sell these lands to the locals at a high price, so that they can also get a considerable profit, and the people get restless, because the official documents for the sale of these lands have come out, and it is clearly written that anyone has the right to buy these lands, and you can buy them with as much money as you want, and if you want to get rich, you only need to have enough money.
But the fly in the ointment is that these lands will be confirmed by the special Jiaozi issued by the imperial court, and the holders of the title deeds of these lands do not need to go to Western Xia to operate, but can get a certain profit from the land eradication for a period of five years......
