The development fever in Liaodong, together with this weather, has made the already lively city of Beijing even hotter. The streets and alleys are all talking about the development of Liaodong. The most lively and popular place is the teahouse and teahouse that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. This teahouse teahouse is now the best place to listen to the newspaper, read the newspaper, inquire about the news, jiāo flow opinions, and talk about luàn kan. This teahouse is relatively famous in this neighborhood. After drinking tea here and listening to the newspaper, you can always get some news that ordinary people can't easily get, and after drinking tea here and listening to the newspaper, you can go to other places to show off. "Old master, old master is here" The teahouse has already been full of people, the court has such a major event, as the people at the feet of the sky, it is naturally impossible not to pay attention, and they must find a place to inquire about the news, even if they have nothing to do with themselves, they must also inquire about some, so as to talk about it, otherwise, they will be outdated.

The people drinking tea in the teahouse all hurriedly got up to greet the old master.

"Old Master......

"Old man

……”

Most of the people who come here know the old master, and when they see the old master coming upstairs, they all get up to say hello, because this is the tea market, so there is no formal greeting, but an acquaintance meets a greeting, but it is very casual.

"..............., shopkeeper Zhang, how are you!" ”

“…… Shopkeeper Liu, how are you......"

"Like-minded friends," the old master greeted the tea guests here with a chūn face. In the past two years, the old master's life has gradually become prosperous, his face is ruddy, and he is shiny, and he has more gods, and he has lost his previous sour and rotten gas. Apparently life is going well.

The old master came here every day to read the newspaper and read the newspaper, which gathered a lot of popularity for this teahouse, and the owner of the teahouse made a lot of money, and the old master could not only eat and drink, but also get a lot of "mouth moisturizing fee" and get the flattery of others, which was more important for the old master who was eager to be satisfied by the jīng god. The old master greeted everyone as usual, and inadvertently, his eyes glanced at a table, the people sitting on this table are a little special, and most people here are different, although the old master has not been an official, but he has also read books, and he has been in the pile of readers, and he can be regarded as a person in the "Shilin", and it can be seen at a glance that these people seem to be nose officials and have an official atmosphere.

The old master was not too surprised, this kind of thing, it was not the first time he had encountered it, often some unfamiliar faces came to him to listen to the "news" of his "news" here, and other places are different, even some "big officials" may not have such well-informed news about him, for the "big officials" to listen to the news here, the old master's vanity has been well satisfied.

The old master bowed his hand to the table with a red face, which was considered to have been seen, and secretly, he bowed slightly, which was regarded as a differential treatment, and he was beaten by ordinary merchants, but he was leaning his neck.

The people at the table didn't make a sound, and one of them also arched his hand, which can be regarded as having seen it.

The old master saw that the person at the table gave him a gift in return, and he was extraordinarily satisfied, although he had never been an official, but now he is not a "peer discussion jiāo" with these officials? Thinking of satisfaction, the old master was also very proud. Although there are many officials in the capital, not all officials have very well-informed news channels, and the kind of news that has passed through seven or eight hands has no credibility at all, and it is far less reliable than the news from him, and many people come to him to listen to the news, including those who are officials. "Old master, you can count it, if you don't come, we will have to send someone to invite you again"...,

Seeing that the old master was sitting still, someone immediately complimented him. In the past few years, a big thing has happened under their own eyelids, and they have experienced one thing after another, so that many people have the feeling that they have not lived in vain, and many people feel that they can be born in this year and in such a special era, which is really their blessing, and the things of these years are far more than the sum of the things that have lived for decades before.

Many people feel that the more people live, the more energetic they are, the more interesting they are, and many things, although they may not be related to themselves, are witnesses, and they watch what happens to them, which can be regarded as participating in another way. Onlookers are participating? Onlookers are also a force.

"Hehehe, hehehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm old, I'm sleepy, I'm late, don't blame, don't blame!" The old master gave his hands again and again with a red face.

"Old Master, don't talk about this, let's wait for you to talk about today's big things?

Such a lively thing, we also want to understand! Someone immediately urged. The literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Song Dynasty, even if they bought the Di newspaper, there were still a lot of people who could not read it, and listening to others read the newspaper was a must, and it was a pastime.

“… Oh, yes! Old Master, if you say it well, we will invite this guest today."

Someone else said without hesitation. "Hehehe, hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say," replied the old master with a smile. When it comes to his news, he is definitely more accurate than many officials, more insider, he has channels, by no means all officials have his channels, his news may not be as good as ministers, Shangshu and other officials, but it is not just any official who can be better informed than him. For the accuracy of his own news, the old master has full certainty, if you want to say that you want to eat someone else's meal, it depends on whether he is in the mood or not, seeing that it is a familiar shopkeeper who invites him to eat, he should accept it immediately.

"Then old master, just tell me what the hell is going on, everyone says it's a good thing, but what's so good, if you can give a detailed explanation, we'll be convinced," someone shouted immediately.

"Yes! The old master will speak quickly...... "Yes! ””

"yes!" ”

The man immediately coaxed.

"Ahem" The old master coughed a few times and was ready to speak.

As soon as everyone heard that the old master was about to speak formally, they immediately fell silent. The things in this newspaper are above board, but behind this uprightness, there must be other gossip, there must be other insiders and reasons, listen to this Cai Feng meaning, and get through the gossip about the things in the court, so that there is a sense of detachment from looking at the world coldly. In fact, today's incident is not an official document of the imperial court, it is just some news from the palace. “… Liaodong incident, the old man advised everyone, everyone who has money to follow up quickly, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it can be regarded as buying a home business for your children and grandchildren, which is much stronger than the silver piled up at home and mildew, the old master opened with this sentence.

This sentence has poked into the hearts of many people, and many people have always been interested in this matter, but also hesitant, after all, it is a bit floating to buy a piece of land thousands of miles away with real money that they may not see in their lifetime. But many officials have bought it, many big families have bought it, and some people are unwilling to miss the opportunity and want to buy it.

"Old master, is this reliable or not! Why do we feel a little empty! "Some people are still hesitant.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, what are you hesitating about? Shengshang Shengming, so much silver dares to invest in Liaodong, what are you afraid of? Could it be that he doubted the eyes of the saints? The old master said with a smile.

"That's it! Zhang's shopkeeper, your own family is also selling wine, now the wine business does not know how prosperous, we Shengshang as long as you want to point a little rut, the silver has to be pulled by a car, who dared to think of hundreds of thousands of acres of sweet potatoes at once, this is not, now they are all planting sweet potatoes Look at you, you have accumulated a lifetime of money, but how much money does it get? Look at those big families now, who are not crazy to follow the saint to do business, do you still hesitate about this? …,

I've got to tell you about ...............," someone immediately came out to tease. "That's it, shopkeeper Zhang, follow the saint to do business, yes, don't hesitate, old master, don't talk about this matter, we all understand it, just shopkeeper Zhang is confused, you always tell him what is this matter alone! So many of us are waiting to listen to the right thing" Some people complained, complaining that this old master and shopkeeper Zhang were talking nonsense about these things that everyone understands, feeling that this is a waste of everyone's time, and the people here are more concerned about things, how much subsidy can be obtained, this is the fundamental.

"That's, that's" The shopkeeper blushed, and his hand involuntarily pinched his fingers, as if he was very embarrassed, and his heart seemed to have made up his mind, and he seemed to be more hesitant.

“… Ahem, this is about this subsidy! It is said that it is a large-scale subsidy, and it is said that everything related to agriculture is subsidized" The old master was not ambiguous, and immediately told this inside information, which was his inside information, his work, and his career.

"Hoo ......"

"Oh......"

“

……”

There was an exclamation in the teahouse immediately, the previous news could only be said to be a rumor, a rumor, it was not true, it had not been confirmed, and now the old master said so, then this thing is eighty percent true.

"I said, how much does it cost! How big is this Liaodong? Some people exclaimed, rubbing their heads in amazement. … I said, old master, we know about the subsidy, but how much is the subsidy? One percent or two percent, or three percent? Someone immediately asked nervously.

“… Hehe, according to reliable sources, they all start from two percent, some are higher, what is higher, this has to be seen again, anyway, it will not be lower than two achievements" The old master said with an extremely credible expression.

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

Everyone was surprised again, the strength of this subsidy is big enough, and the emperor is indeed rich.

"Old Master, didn't you say before that you only subsidize farm tools? Why are you talking about all subsidies now? Is this true? If this is really the case, then go to Liaodong to farm, but you can delineate...

It's coming—" one asked in disbelief.

“… In the past, it was true that it was only said that agricultural tools were subsidized, but now it is different, everything related to agriculture, regardless of seeds, farm tools, and livestock are subsidized, and they all start from twenty percent," the old master immediately said in an affirmative tone.

"Old Master, are you saying that everything related to agriculture has subsidies? Even large livestock are subsidized?

Liaodong is so big, if even big livestock are subsidized, then this is to buy land in Liaodong, but it is really zoning... It's coming," asked someone who knew about farming at once. Large livestock has always been an extremely important means of production in agricultural production, only the use of large livestock, can afford to plant the land, otherwise, by manpower drag, that can not plant a few acres of land, and large livestock has always been expensive, not everyone can afford to buy, Dingdong that place, a buy is how many acres, to the big livestock is not a head or two, this is a lot of expenses.

“… Yes, there are subsidies for large livestock, and now we have copied the old nest of shoes and laid down Liaodong, there are big livestock, and the big livestock is not worth much at all outside the customs, and the saint will give a subsidy of two percent, you calculate, this comes and goes, you can only buy one cow in the customs, and when you get to the outside of the customs, you can buy at least three, do you say it is worth it? The old master immediately explained.

"That's it, it's right!" The person who asked just now seemed to have gone to his heart, and the doubts in his heart were answered, and he seemed to have finally settled down.

The old master saw that his words had an effect, thought about it, and was ready to work harder, and said, "... Let me remind you again, things related to agriculture are not only big livestock, such as the rake, harrow, knife, windmill, mill, etc., which can be used at home, all of which can be subsidized." The teahouse became even more lively. All sorts of topics are also brought up. …,

"It's a pity, although it's good, but our family is weak, and we don't have the ability to go to Liaodong to farm......" someone said. This is not simple, invite a few trustworthy relatives and friends, everyone go to Liaodong to buy land, buy the land together, and then ask a trustworthy shopkeeper to take care of it, isn't it good to be the owner yourself? "Someone has an idea.

“… It's a pity, it's good, but our family has a small business, not bigger than other people's high-ranking households, and we can afford to hire a shopkeeper to ......"

"This is simple, it really doesn't work, just buy stocks and buy shares, and now there are several companies that specialize in farming in Liaodong, buy their stocks, and wait for the dividends at the end of the year, this is simpler than anything else............... "This is the old master's answer.

"..............., that's true, but ......, some people hesitated.

“… What else are you afraid of? Are you still afraid that Liulizhai will rip your money? Are you still afraid that the Holy God will rip off your money, what is your little money in the eyes of the Holy One? Some people have taught the hesitant person just now.

"Yes, yes, yes" The person who hesitated just now hurriedly said yes, no matter what, Liulizhai is always trustworthy, and the abbot is said to be on an errand for the emperor, and the emperor is still trustworthy, and no one should doubt the emperor.

Among the guests who listened to the old master's "reading the newspaper", there was a table of guests, which was a little different, with an official atmosphere. After listening to it, maybe I heard what I wanted, or maybe I was tired of hearing it, and I came out.

The two people who came out were obviously completely different, one was plain and stable, the other was a little resentful, and his face was not angry. "How is this all done, a sour Confucian who is nothing is actually more well-informed than us, and he still relies on this hún to eat and drink, it is really unreasonable, wait for me to send him to Daxing County to ask for guilt......" The man with an angry face.

"Hey, Brother Luo must not be like this, in this capital, the most important thing is the official, a seven-grade county to the county, that is all the parents of the official, all of them are Baili Hou, but when they arrive in the capital, they are nothing, even these three-grade officials have to walk with their tails between their legs in the capital, Brother Luo, you and I are both small sesame officials, it is better not to provoke the local snakes in the capital" Another plain and calm person said.

"I'm afraid of something, it's just a sour Confucian............ I don't believe it," said the disgruntled man.

"Brother Luo......, this matter must not be, you said that we are all officials of the imperial court, but the news is not yet well-informed, people must have a backstage, with our little arms and small tui, it is better not to provoke a good one, be careful to provoke a big Buddha, but it will not end well" The bland man smiled.

"Hmph, it's really hateful, our dignified court officials, and we still have to ask a sour Confucian for news, it's really hateful" The person with an angry face said, although he said so, he may not understand it in his heart.

"Brother Luo thinks that His Majesty's large-scale subsidy is good or bad?" The calm man asked. "Of course it's a bad thing, Your Majesty is so subsidized, it is clear that it is a business to rob other people's families, and all the business of supporting the people is in their own hands, who doesn't know, Your Majesty has an iron factory, a carriage yard, Your Majesty's subsidy, will only sell what you produce, this is not from the people's mouths What is it? I, Luo, will definitely explain this matter to His Majesty, explain the harm of this matter, and prevent His Majesty from doing this......" said the man with an angry face.

"This ......, this matter, I advise Brother Luo, it is better not to get involved, now that the general trend has been decided, Brother Luo recklessly does this, it has no effect, maybe he will offend people who should not be offended," the calm man said.

"I, Luo, am right, sit upright, not afraid of offending people, as the imperial history of the imperial court, I should be unfair, Luo also knows that many people in the court have invested in shares and bought land, and they have also gained ...... actual benefits," said the person with an angry face.

“… Brother Luo, I still advise you to give up on this matter, now the people who do business and buy shares, the people who buy land in Liaodong, I don't know how many, I don't know how much money I put into it, Brother Luo said this, I'm afraid that I will offend a lot of people" The person with a plain face persuaded.
