Chapter 179: Fame

Coming back from the silver treasury, Xiao Tian seemed to be a different person, Xiao Tian, who had found a new goal, was alone in the study, and made plans for several days without sleep or food. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not counting the large basket of waste paper thrown out, the final plan was as thick as several books, which was basically the number of words of his Condor Heroes, and this was only the first draft.

Such a big project as opening a bank has a lot of problems, and all aspects must be taken care of, so naturally it cannot be arranged in a few days, so after Xiaotian wrote the plan, he could only do some preparatory work, simply arranged the general direction, and led Qi Jiguang into Beijing.

He returned to the island this time, and he didn't stay long, Jiajing and all the bigwigs were waiting for him to make a report, and he must rush back before the year, besides, his newlywed wife Lu Rui also hoped that he was looking forward to it, if he dared to delay the New Year, his father-in-law, who was the first in the world in martial arts, would have to kick him to death.

Of course, before leaving, he had already instructed Li Yan and Xiangye to hand over the work, Li Yan gradually secluded behind the scenes, and Xiangye gradually came to the forefront, and when he came back from the capital, he would take people away directly.

Therefore, when making preparations for opening a bank, Xiaotian also led the fragrant leaves out more than once, meeting this today, meeting that tomorrow, and everyone is familiar, but when the introduction is inevitably introduced, it is a little vague.

What kind of eyes are you all looking at? It's as if something happened to the two of us, and sure enough, the whole world is filthy for the impure people, and you filthy people are really hopeless.

The master and the bay leaf are innocent, well, at least for the time being, they are still innocent.

Leaving Xia Ke Island and entering Beijing, he, the boss of the sea, actually did not walk a few times on this route, it seems that every time he is in a hurry, in order to hurry, he can only go ashore from Songjiang, all the way to the horse, no way, who let this grandson waste too long on Xia Ke Island.

In the capital, I heard that Xiaotian was back, and all the people in the capital showed their greatest enthusiasm to greet him outside the city, and everyone rushed to see his true face.

This is not surprising, although Xiaotian's rise is still very short, and the time that he has really entered everyone's attention is only more than a year, but now his fame is not an exaggeration.

In recent years, the imperial court will not increase taxes on the people if they have money, and the heavens are also beautiful, the harvest is good, and the people's lives are naturally getting better and better.

Commerce has become particularly developed, all kinds of dazzling goods are piled up in the warehouse, and into the homes of ordinary people, many goods that have only been heard of before can now be bought by themselves, and many things that have never been heard of have also entered people's field of vision little by little.

Cinemas, taverns, green houses, gambling houses, these entertainment and leisure places have also become better business, and the people have spare money, so they naturally want to enrich their entertainment life, and even the storytellers and singers under the bridge have also done a lot better, and I only feel that I have received more and more tips every day in the past two years.

Potatoes and corn, after the previous year's bumper harvest, were naturally sown, and neither of them was picked at the ground, so the more barren the land, the more it was divided. Of course, the points can't be shared on the heads of the ordinary people, and the harvested ones are all divided by the vassal king, and the vassal king is divided into the county king, and the county king is divided into the honorable, and the honorable is also divided, well, the rest can be eaten.

In the first half of this year, potatoes and corn were still two fresh things, even ordinary rich and noble families, and they could only eat a little during the New Year's Festival, beat their teeth and sacrifice, and taste the taste, and the common people just looked at it, and they couldn't smell it at all.

But after the autumn harvest this year, these two high-yield crops have finally played their due role, and the dignitaries and nobles can't eat so many potatoes even if they are soaked in starch, except for a part of the seeds, the rest are all into the rice pots of the common people.

The wisdom of the people is infinite, Xiaotian has never mentioned such a thing as vermicelli, the wise and industrious people of the Ming Dynasty have developed it themselves, and even many places have established special vermicelli workshops, there is one in three or five villages, a family of a few people can be put into production, convenient and fast investment is small.

The biggest advantage of potatoes and corn is that they can be eaten as vegetables. Before this, the vast majority of the people of the Ming Dynasty had no vegetables to eat, and the city could be better, and the daily food in the village was only a staple food that could only eat some pickles, so that the mouth was somewhat salty, and most of the time they could only eat a small bowl of sauce, and there was no order.

Otherwise, the ancients had a short lifespan, and they were all caused by malnutrition, so it was normal for the ancients to eat five flatbreads at a meal, because they had no vegetables to eat.

Now it's okay, the north eats steamed buns, stewed vermicelli with potatoes and side dishes, beautiful. In the south, rice is eaten, and the side dish vermicelli stewed with potatoes is more beautiful. You can also add a cob of corn, and the leftover corn cob and leaves can also be fed to the livestock.

I heard that there was a little turmoil during this period, I don't know which lack of smoke and lack of heart, proposed that this potato and corn is an important weapon of the country, can not be handed over to the people casually, it should be stipulated that only the fields of high-ranking officials and nobles can be planted, I heard that this proposal has also received a certain amount of support in the court, these people, for the sake of interests are really crazy.

If this is the case, it is certain that the prices of potatoes and corn will not come down, and these high-yielding crops will lose their usefulness. The most important thing is that such a move is conducive to their annexation of land, if the price of potatoes and corn cannot be reduced, the yield of one mu of potatoes is at least four or five times that of one mu of wheat, and the people are not fools, so they are naturally willing to put the land in the name of these dignitaries.

This proposal, in fact, also represents the interests of their class, the vassal kings like it, the big families like it, and the officials also like it, but the common people suffer with it. So much so that this ridiculous proposal turned out to be quite a lot of approval and almost passed.

In the end, the mad Jiajing Emperor relied on the board to block the mouths of these people, and the Jiajing Emperor played the board for more than 40 years, and for the first time felt so angry, he couldn't wait to roll up his arms and sleeves to kill these moths in person.

In the imperial court, conscientious officials still account for the majority, the sage said that the heart of heaven and earth, the people set their lives, these people still remember, I have to say that the Ming Dynasty is the most disciplined dynasty in my China for 5,000 years, this time the board played surprisingly smoothly, and no one stood up to speak for them.

All these changes started from Xiaotian, the people of the capital are all inquiring, and the taxi drivers of later generations are all economic and political scientists, and at this time it is almost the same, they will now count the good life as the credit of Xiaotian. (To be continued.) )
