Chapter 534: Ways and Benefits
Chapter 534: Ways and Interests
Yang Reform's remarks about saints and Confucianism in Guozijian immediately set off a storm, and scholars began to discuss this matter.
What is the liveliest thing in Beijing in March? There is nothing more than the stock of the carriage yard, nothing more than when the subsidized carriage will be implemented, nothing more than this public transportation, nothing more than the interests behind it.
Yang Reform's remarks, if put in the whole March environment, but it is nothing, although the Di Bao also opened up a special page for scholars to debate the new interpretation of Confucianism, it is a rare thing, but, up to the high-ranking officials, down to the people, more concerned about silver, concerned about how much silver the emperor made from trading, buying that stock is more profitable, thinking about following the emperor to make money.
Nowadays, the ministers don't attack Liu Mao much, Liu Mao has some exaggerated behavior, and now, everyone is gradually getting used to it, in addition to the ineffective attack, but also because Liu Mao's seemingly crazy behavior is behind the great benefits, everyone feels that it is better to follow the emperor to earn money by attacking Liu Mao with useless work.

Today's stock exchange continues to gather countless wealthy people from the north and south. Whether it is a rich businessman, an old rich man, or an official eunuch, they all respect this stock, and they are all proud to buy some stocks to go back.
Stock exchange.
In a luxurious box facing the street, two people were talking about something.
"I didn't expect it, I haven't been to the capital for two years, the capital has changed so much, when I crossed Zhengyangmen Street, I couldn't believe that this was in the capital, it was really unexpected! The changes in this capital are really too great! This newcomer, who had just come from the south, was really surprised by the changes in the city of Beijing, so he exclaimed.
"Brother Li, you don't know how many things have happened in the capital in the past year, if you talk about it in detail, you can't finish it for a few days and nights!" The person in charge of the reception was full of pride and pride.
"There's so much going on! Sweeping Wei rebellion, relief, war outside the border, running a salt merchant, running a school, these things, all of them are big things that splash the sky, who would have thought that it would happen in this short year? I, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, am really the unborn Son of Heaven! The person surnamed Li exclaimed.
"Hehehe, don't talk about this, don't talk about this, these are all old yellow calendars, let's talk about the latest news in the capital, can Brother Li know?" The person in charge of the reception said with a hearty laugh.
"Hmm, the latest news, could it be Your Majesty's new interpretation of Confucianism?" The man surnamed Li asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, Brother Li is well-informed!" The receptionist said.
"Alas......, Brother Guo laughed, this matter is all published in the Di newspaper, but it's hard for me to think about it!" The man surnamed Li said.
"Hehehe, this is also, not to mention, with this Di Bao, it can really be regarded as knowing the world without going out, and this Di Bao is also a good deal, but unfortunately, it is the mouthpiece of the imperial court, and it is under the control of the Political Secretary, otherwise, it is definitely very profitable to sell it as a stock and sell it to everyone, but it's a pity, it's a pity!" The man who received the people from the south sighed, looking pity.
"That's, I've heard too, advertise in this newspaper, it's a noble ......," said the man surnamed Li.
"Well, let's not talk about that, let's talk about something else,...... The most lively thing lately is that His Majesty is going to subsidize the carriage, and there is nothing more than the public carriage......" said the man who received the people from the south.
"Oh, isn't this a rumor, but true? Looking at Brother Guo, it seems that he has no doubt at all! The person surnamed Li asked suspiciously.
"This is because Brother Li has just come from the south, and the news is not well-informed, and now the stocks of this carriage yard have already been speculated to sky-high prices, and some people who bought the stocks of the carriage yard in the past have made a lot of money, and this subsidy for the carriage has become a foregone conclusion, but it depends on when His Majesty did it, it is absolutely true......" said the person who was called Brother Guo and received people from the south.
"Huh, so fast?" The person surnamed Li asked with some surprise.
"It seems that Brother Li's news is not too well-informed, not fast, but extremely fast, many adults have impeached Lord Liu before, but His Majesty has not sent it, even if it is noisy in the early court, His Majesty still strongly supports Lord Liu, I heard that the carriage is also related to disaster relief, and the adults in the court do not talk about it now...... "The person surnamed Guo explained. ,
"What else is famous in this?" The person surnamed Li then asked.
"Of course there is a famous hall, which is also the reason for entertaining Brother Li at this stock exchange today......, Brother Li will see for himself, there is such a wide square outside......" The person surnamed Guo said as he lifted the curtain next to him, and through the glass window, he could see the huge square outside Liulizhai.
ββ¦β¦ This, this square is indeed big, but what is the name? The person surnamed Li asked puzzled.
"The famous hall is also here, Brother Li see for himself, now almost all carriages have to pass through Liulizhai, and this Liulizhai is the starting and ending station of many carriages, Brother Li doesn't think that there are more people in Liulizhai than before?" The person surnamed Guo said while pointing to the huge flow of people and vehicles outside.
"This, it is rumored that Liulizhai is the first street in the world, and it is a must-visit place in the capital, it is not surprising that there are many people, but there are so many people, and there are so many carriages, but it is beyond Li's expectations, it is really a little unimaginable." The person surnamed Li looked at it for a while and said.
"Yes, the cat is greasy in this, does Brother Li know, what is the land price of this Liulizhai now? How much money does it cost to rent a shop? The person surnamed Guo said.
"Oh, I don't know about this, isn't it, it's a little outrageous? I want to consult Brother Guo. The person surnamed Li hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, don't be scared when you say it, Brother Li, now a shop with a width of one zhang and two widths and a depth of three or four zhang has a rent of seven or eight hundred silver coins a year, and just collecting this rent can be used as a harvest of hundreds of acres ......of land," said the man surnamed Guo.
"Ahh Seven or eight hundred silver coins? That's too expensive, isn't it? The person surnamed Li asked in surprise, this number exceeded his expectations too much.
"Hey, this is still cheap, there are thousands of expensive ones...... "The man surnamed Guo said with a smile on his face.
"Why is it so expensive?" The person surnamed Li asked in surprise.
"Without him, there are too many people...... "The person surnamed Guo laughed while pointing to the busy flow of people and vehicles outside Liulizhai.
"This ......" The person surnamed Li looked at the crowd of people in Liulizhai Square in surprise, and the traffic came in and out, not knowing what to say.
ββ¦β¦ What Brother Guo means is that there are too many people, so this business is easy to do, and this rent is extremely expensive? The person surnamed Li finally remembered.
"Yes, Brother Li is smart, that's what it means, now Lord Liu's public carriage, Jingshi, and the carriage from Shuntianfu to Beijing are all gathered in Liulizhai, this person, that's too much to say, you say that with so many people, can you do business or not? Can this rent not be high? That Liulizhai is also a master who is not short of money, just this rent, and you have to rely on the relationship to get it, it doesn't matter, people Liulizhai ignores you......" The person surnamed Guo explained.
"I see, it seems that Your Majesty has long expected that this situation will definitely occur as soon as this public carriage is made, so you will let Lord Liu gather all the public carriages in Liulizhai, Your Majesty's vision is really higher than me!" The surnamed Li said with a sigh.
"Brother Li is right, when Lord Liu first started to do it, the adults in the court were all against it, but now, no one is against it......" The surname Guo smiled very mysteriously.
"This?" The person surnamed Li didn't understand it all of a sudden.
"Now, the adults in the court have understood, there are more carriages, there are more people, the price of the land, the rent will have to skyrocket, now, the adults are staring, trying to get the end of this public carriage to their own land, you think, the starting place of this public carriage must be more than one, if you can get the starting place of a few public carriages, and build some shops nearby, how many silver coins will you get every year just to eat rent? This is fair and honest money, but it is much harder than that greedy drift, Brother Li said, isn't it? The person surnamed Guo explained with a smile.
"That's ......," the man surnamed Li began to understand.
"Brother Li think about it again, now Liulizhai earns a lot of rent money every year, then I am facing the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and there are more than ten cities comparable to the capital, if these big cities are also like Liulizhai, make him a public carriage gathering place, what a piece of meat does this have? In addition to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, there are more than 100 prefectures, Brother Li calculates ...... by himself," the person surnamed Guo smiled mysteriously.
"Ahh I see, so it is, no wonder, no wonder ......" The person surnamed Li suddenly understood, there is really something greasy in this, no wonder no one is impeaching that Liu Mao anymore, there is a reason for this!
"Brother Li is really a smart person, a little bit is thorough, this is why the adults in the court no longer impeach Lord Liu, now, Lord Liu is fragrant, this public carriage, the matter of post delivery, it is estimated that His Majesty will definitely hand it over to him to do, therefore, if you want to earn this money, you must have a good relationship with Lord Liu, when the time comes, as long as Lord Liu moves the place slightly, this is countless silver!" The person surnamed Guo said with a strange smile. ,
"Understood, understood, Li understood, no wonder the stock of this carriage yard is so good now, no wonder, no wonder ......" The person surnamed Li suddenly understood the ins and outs of the matter, this subsidized carriage, carriage yard, and public carriage are really greasy.
"Brother Li understands, come on, come on, drink tea, drink tea,......" the man surnamed Guo said while pouring tea.
"Thanks, thanks!" The person surnamed Li hurriedly said.
ββ¦β¦ Brother Li knows, how many carriages will be built in this carriage yard this year? The person surnamed Guo began to speak again.
"I don't know about this, maybe five or six thousand......" The person surnamed Li tried to count as much as possible.
"Five or six thousand? Brother Li might as well remove the thousand words and change them to 10,000 words. The person surnamed Guo smiled.
"What? Fifty or sixty thousand? How can there be so much? Poof...... "The person surnamed Li was distracted by surprise, and he didn't even feel that the tea was too hot, and the tea he drank in his mouth quickly spit it out, and he said sorry again and again, and the good image he had maintained was ruined."
"Hehe, Brother Li still underestimates our majesty! Your Majesty's heart is very big, not as small as you and me, these words can only be said to Brother Li, Brother Li knows, but don't spread the ...... everywhere," said the person surnamed Guo.
"Brother Guo, don't worry, this Li knows and will definitely not talk nonsense." The person surnamed Li hurriedly guaranteed to arrive.
"I'll report, Brother Li himself calculated how many carriages, just to replace the carriage with today's post delivery, it will cost at least 5,000 cars, this public transportation, just in the capital, Lord Liu will let out the words, there are not 2,000 cars, it is too busy, this capital alone will cost 2,000 cars, then I will go to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, more than 100 prefectures, how much? If you count the combat vehicles of the officers and soldiers, how much should it be? I heard that His Majesty intends to replace all the carriages of the world's officials and soldiers with four-wheeled ones in order to transport and carry supplies, Brother Li will calculate again, how many carriages will this cost? His Majesty also plans to subsidize the carriage money for the whole world, Brother Li will calculate again, how many carriages will this cost? Saying fifty or sixty thousand, that's still a small one, and saying 100,000 is not to scare Brother Li......" The person surnamed Guo looked proud.
"Ahh ......, "This person surnamed Li finally lost all his cultivation, his mouth opened, and he was so surprised that he could stuff an egg into it."
"Brother Li now knows why the stock in this carriage yard is valuable, and now he knows why so many people are optimistic about Lord Liu's public carriage, right? Hehe, if no one is pointing me out, who can understand this! If there is no way, how can it be done? The person surnamed Guo said with a smile.
"Brother Guo is still capable and has a way! I want to thank Brother Guo! The person surnamed Li hurriedly saluted the person surnamed Guo.
"Alas, my brother is separated like this......" The person surnamed Guo hurriedly excused himself.
"Brother Guo, don't worry, what my Li promised is absolutely counted, and what my Li family promised is also absolutely counted." The person surnamed Li hurriedly assured.
"Hehehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say......" The person surnamed Guo hurriedly smiled and said, now, he is like many nobles in the capital, he has a way, but he just has no money, he originally had some money, but he couldn't afford to buy stocks and ask for more money, so he could only take the news and exchange the door for money, and it happened that many people from the south were worried because they were not well-informed and could not find a way, so there was this complementarity.
The person surnamed Li was not ambiguous, and immediately took out a paper envelope and handed it to the person surnamed Guo, who opened the bag and looked at it slightly, then closed it and nodded with satisfaction.
"Since Brother Li is so generous, then I will also reveal some more news, if Brother Li is interested, you can still come to Guo, Guo's door, Brother Li should know......" The person surnamed Guo was very satisfied with the Fang surnamed Li, so he was ready to say some inside information.
"Oh! What else does Brother Guo have to say? I would like to hear about it. "Hearing that there is still an inside story, the person surnamed Li also came to the spirit, and today not only dug up the inside story, but also found a way, which can be regarded as a good piece of news. The capital has now become a nest of money, making money and making money, but these people in the south have missed the opportunity to make money in the first few batches because of the road and news, and hurried to the capital, but they are worried because they can't find the way.
"Hey, I heard that Your Majesty is going to set up a steel factory, this deal, estimated, is no worse than the sale of the carriage yard......" The more the person surnamed Guo said, the quieter his voice became.
"Compliance with the Chemical Machinery Bureau?" The man surnamed Li asked rhetorically. ,
"That's just on the surface, in fact, His Majesty plans to set up a steel factory for this carriage yard to use iron, Brother Li calculates, how much steel does this need? How much money do you have to earn? The person surnamed Guo said with a smile.
"Well, I heard that there are some places on the four-wheeled carriage that can only use the steel produced by Lord Sun, and it does make a lot of money, so this steel mill is a worthwhile investment? It's a pity that I don't know when there will be news. The person surnamed Li said with suspicion, far less than he believed before.
"Brother Li doesn't think he can make much money from this? Brother Li, do you know, how many ships and cannons does Your Majesty build every year? β¦β¦ Nowadays, only a cannon is more than a thousand catties, and a larger ship, so don't use a few thousand catties of iron? These transactions will all belong to this steel mill in the future, doesn't it mean that the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders? His Majesty pays for the construction of ships, and the steel used is used in his own ......" The man surnamed Guo said how many cannons he used as he spoke, gesturing with one finger.
"A thousand?" The person surnamed Li asked cautiously.
The person surnamed Guo didn't answer, just smiled and gestured with a finger again.
"Ahh The person surnamed Li was shocked!
"This really can't be passed on to the outside, Brother Li must remember!" The person surnamed Guo said seriously.
"I know this, I know!" The person surnamed Li was shocked and sweated, the number of cannons was too much, as for the number of emperor's ships, because he came from the south, he knew some, the number was very large, and the iron used on the ship was also very much.
"Then I wonder when there will be a letter for this matter?" The person surnamed Li hurriedly asked, and the news was there, but the person surnamed Li asked after it.
"This matter has to be according to Your Majesty's will, no one can be Your Majesty's master, can it? If Brother Li is interested, then I will pay attention to it for Brother Li, and inform Brother Li when there is news, how about it? The person surnamed Guo said with a smile.
"There is labor, there is labor, he will succeed in the future, and he will not forget Brother Guo." The person surnamed Li hurriedly assured.
"Well said, well said! ......," the man surnamed Guo said with a smile.
After the man surnamed Li finished talking about business, he hurriedly walked out of the stock exchange, got into the carriage, and galloped away.
The person surnamed Guo stood in the luxurious box of the stock exchange, watching the person surnamed Li leave, and then looked at the busy and endless Liulizhai Square, thoughtfully, and kept weighing the envelope with his hand. ROοΌ ~οΌ
