Chapter 413 Comparing goods has to be thrown away

The early winter sun also shone on the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the early winter weather is a little cold and shrouded in fog, the nearest Jingshi is particularly "hot".

"Extraordinary, extraneous big news...... Liulizhai will issue two additional shares, and the dividend at the end of the year will increase to four million taels of silver...... "The little newspaper boy blushed, running hard, today's Di Bao is particularly good to sell, this is the third time to get the Di Bao, the same, as soon as it came out, it was immediately thrown and snapped up.

"Extra, extraordinarily big news,...... Liulizhai's dividend at the end of the year will increase to four million taels of silver...... "The people on the whole street have fallen into some kind of madness, although Liulizhai's stock is a floating cloud on the edge of the sky for the small merchants and vendors who sell steamed buns and fritters on the street, but it can't stop their enthusiasm for gossip." Anyone who meets, without exception, is always talking about how much it has risen, who has earned and how much.

Another person who hurriedly came out of his home, bought a newspaper on the street, and hurried up to the teahouse.

In the past, if someone ran to the teahouse in the morning, eighty percent would be scolded as a madman, but now morning tea in the north has gradually become a habit. Without him, the Di newspaper was sent in the morning, and after the Di newspaper came out, they listened to each other's news at the morning tea, figured out the content of the Di newspaper, inquired about gossip, and bragged about it, which was a very "necessary" thing.

"Four million taels," a middle-aged rich man shouted with a sad face, as if the four million taels he had shared were his family property. The sound overwhelmed the entire teahouse, and the people in the teahouse looked sideways.

This tall and thin man who came up from downstairs quickly climbed the teahouse and came straight up.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Ma, Brother Lu, forgive me, I slept for a while, I'm late......" This thin and tall man clasped his fists again and again to salute the people at this table.

"Brother Wang, there is no need for this, we have just arrived...... " The man who was called Brother Zhang by the thin and tall man said in a loud voice.

The tall and thin man surnamed Wang didn't dwell on these much, and immediately opened the newspaper in his hand, and said: "Several, today is a lot of news, four million taels of silver, just take it out and divide it, Your Majesty is so big, so big and bold A few people take a look, is this true?" This tall and thin man heard the rumors that his subordinates had heard on the street, and immediately jumped out of his house and went straight to the teahouse, to inquire and figure out the news in the newspaper, this is undoubtedly a good place.

Several people on this table are all dressed in silk and satin, and judging from their dress, they are also people with status and status. Therefore, this table occupies a fairly wide area, which is completely different from the situation where the table is next to the table in the distance.

"Ahem...... His Majesty's handwriting is naturally big, if it weren't for His Majesty's handwriting, who would be willing to take out four million taels of silver to share dividends? …… How can this be fake? Don't forget, what is a newspaper? That's the yamen under the General Administration, can you talk nonsense? A person called Brother Lu on the side immediately responded.

"That's it, that Fan Weicheng dares to say nonsense, His Majesty can't spare him first, four million taels is silver, not paper money, he dares to open his mouth, when the time comes, divide his flesh, and make up for this hole, tsk, four million taels Ah think of me tomorrow, how much gold and silver is a year? Tsk, now the way of the world has changed" The person who was called Brother Ma also said with an expression that I had seen through.

The thin and tall man pondered for a moment and said, "The way of this world is indeed going to change...... Tsk, four million taels...... Is this silver becoming less and less valuable? ”

Today's Ming Dynasty has indeed become powerful, not to mention anything else, the emperor who dares to take out 10 million taels of silver to relieve the disaster, is there a second one in the world? No, but now Your Majesty is going to do this, and it has been done. In previous years, it was not the idea of méng Gunan to invade the border wall and disturb the border wall and fight the Ming Dynasty, but now the border army actually transported sheep, horses, and war booty from the grassland to the border wall, which is a new thing that has not been done for many years?

In previous years, the emperor did not fight with the ministers for money, fought to the death for a little silver, and even killed the tax supervisor, but now, this son of heaven, without moving, has gone to tens of millions of taels of silver, and the speed of his silver is not only staggering, but also staggering. Not to mention anything else, just the news in today's newspaper is that the dividend at the end of the year is four million taels, and this alone is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

"Yes, a few of you, I see, don't be stunned, it's useless to just sigh, Your Majesty's means are naturally what we look up to,...... Let's talk about how many stocks everyone has in their hands, these four million taels are down, and one stock may get a lot of silver, which is real silver," the man surnamed Zhang first proposed. ,

"Ahem, Your Majesty's means, Wang Mou bowed, hehe, now, just thinking about it, I can follow Your Majesty to earn a few silver huāhuā is satisfied,...... It's a pity that the few stocks I got were sold early, otherwise, I would have been able to receive dividends of a few thousand taels of silver when I left them for the New Year...... Now in my hand, I don't have much left......" The tall thin man surnamed Wang said with regret.

"Alas, it's a pity, if I had known this, I shouldn't have sold those stocks, and I still got those few tickets through a relationship,...... I don't have much on hand now...... "This person is the same."

Several people regretted selling their stocks in the first place.

"Hey, if you want to talk about stocks, it's still more than Master Bi's family," a person said sourly.

"Don't say it, Master Bi is His Majesty's confidant, and he naturally looks to His Majesty when he does things...... It's not like us......"

"That's ......, guys, now this stock, but it's up to 1,800 taels, it's still rising, maybe it's going to be 2,000 taels that day...... tsk, when it first came out, it was only 1,000 taels, how long has it been, but it's doubled,...... Tsk, if you want to talk about His Majesty's means of making money...... I can't wait, hehe......" The man surnamed Zhang threw out a topic.

“…… I, Lu, am convinced, and plan to follow His Majesty to earn some silver, and now in these years, there is no one who can compare to His Majesty's means of earning silver......" The man surnamed Lu immediately expressed his opinion.

"I'm Zhang is also the same opinion, to say a big disrespectful word, I think at the beginning, I saw the newspaper said that the businessman surnamed Wang who invested in Liulizhai can get a share of the stocks sold in the future, I Zhang thought it was a joke, now look, this is the power of His Majesty, words than practice ah has such an iron reputation, but rest assured......"

"Alas, Brother Zhang, don't talk about the businessman surnamed Wang, that guy's stocks, and a lot of them are taken from me, that guy, now he can make money......" The man surnamed Lu looked regretful.

“…… Ahem, he only had 1,340,000 taels of silver at the beginning, but now? One stock is worth 1,800 taels, and a stock is worth 500 taels of silver, 500 taels......" The man who spoke said exaggeratedly stretched out five fingers, regretting it very much.

"One thousand eight hundred and fifty taels of stocks, everyone here, do you have any stocks? Under it, the bank's silver bill is directly acquired......" A voice sounded high in the teahouse.

However, no one responded to his words, and even a lot of secret contempt could be heard.

"Cut, sell it to you......"

"I'm ......"

“…… Are we all fools? ……”

……

Today is also an early day, and the ministers have already gathered in the Forbidden City, waiting for the emperor's summons.

Many ministers were holding the Di Bao, a group of three, and a party of five gathered together to talk, and the content of the conversation, except for some current affairs, was mostly the four million taels of silver, because the number was too huge.

Bi Ziyan blushed alone, and stayed in a corner with shame, unable to hold his face. The reason why he can't hang his face is very simple, the news in the Di newspaper today obviously compared his household department, and now his household department is an empty shell, and he can't take out any money at all, but the news in this Di newspaper is divided into four million taels at once, and the comparison between the two shows that his household department is incompetent.

"Master Bi, congratulations, congratulations" A bureaucrat clenched his fists and congratulated Bi Ziyan.

"There, there." Bi Ziyan's face was very red, a merchant could casually give four million taels to others, but his household department racked his brains every year to save tens of thousands of taels of silver, exhausted his brains, and tried his best.

"I heard that Master Bi bought a lot of stocks before? The eyes are like torches, the eyes are like torches, the officials admire, admire" The bureaucrat praised in a low voice, while praising Bi Ziyan, but also secretly reproaching, at the beginning he also laughed at the emperor's party for exhausting their wealth to the emperor's platform, and now, other people's stocks have made a lot of money.

"There and there......" Bi Ziyan was depressed, he didn't do a good job in the household department, and he could run mice in the treasury of the household department, but he poured his own property, and the stocks he originally received, now, they are worth ......, he went all out to buy stocks, but he bought them with the "consciousness" of an imperial party, but he didn't think that this stock could still make money, in order to stand on the platform for the emperor, to share the emperor's worries, so that the emperor would not be able to come to the stage, and send two silver huāhuā to the emperor, where it was expected, less than two months, The situation has changed abruptly, and he was originally a "stupid action" out of his mind, but now he has achieved his reputation as having vision and making money. ,

Among this group of ministers waiting for the court, some were happy, some were sad, some were indifferent, some gritted their teeth, and some looked moved.

……

Taihe Gate.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... the ministers saluted vigorously, and today's early dynasty officially began.

The ministers looked at the emperor's eyes, more envy, joy, and some also looked at them with disdain, even disgust, even disdain, and heartache.

……

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." One of the ministers couldn't wait, and immediately spoke.

"Oh, what's the matter with the Qing family?" Yang reform's mood is quite good, after careful preparation, the nobles into the Liuli Zhai, the issuance of two percent of the shares, the silver has arrived, in this day when they are most short of money, in vain to get nearly three million taels of silver, undoubtedly, is quite happy.

"Your Majesty, it was said in the newspaper today that Liulizhai will share a dividend of four million taels, but is there such a thing?" This official looked distressed.

"This, but there is a thing." Yang Reform admits without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, why don't you take these four million taels of money back to the treasury? If today's disaster drags on, the people are displaced, and beyond the border wall, there are many wars, Your Majesty, with these four million huge funds, why worry about the uneven war and natural disasters? The minister appealed bitterly.

Before the words were finished, before Yang Reform became angry, there were already people below who stood up for Yang Reform.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, the stock dividend of this Liulizhai is a legitimate profit of the business, how can it be said that it will be collected? This is undoubtedly a competition between the court and the people...... Your Majesty, by no means," the official said with a righteous face.

Yang Reform wanted to get angry, but when he heard that some officials defended themselves on the grounds of "competing with the people", he already laughed in his heart, this competition with the people has always been used by ministers to deal with the emperor, and now he actually took it out to defend himself as the emperor.

"But, Your Majesty, this Liulizhai is clearly Your Majesty's industry, since it is Your Majesty's industry, there is so much income every year, why can't it be put into storage? Your Majesty is the people of the world to raise, now the Ming Dynasty is in the midst of the internal and external wars, the amount of silver used is so much, the household has long been dilapidated, and it is in urgent need of a sum of silver to fill, Your Majesty, it should be filled into the treasury of Liulizhai, so that it is really not competing with the people...... "Just now, the official who planned to return the four million taels of silver to the treasury of Liulizhai swore that I was right.

Yang Reform's originally good mood was completely shattered by this strange remark. How can this be justified? Yang Reform was already delirious and at a loss.

Not only Yang Gengai stared at this minister, but other people in the court also stared at this minister, this minister's remarks have already offended the anger of the public, and most people are the same as the emperor, they don't know where to start with this kind of remarks, they can only stare at this guy.

Liulizhai is the emperor's industry, yes, however, that is an open secret, know what you know, but, the emperor is also in accordance with the "rules" in doing things, like everyone, is also a behind-the-scenes operation, and did not throw his arms to Liulizhai to sell things, if according to what you said, the court is short of money to confiscate the dividends of Liulizhai, and confiscate Liulizhai, does that mean that we can also confiscate our shops on the grounds of no money? If the court has no money, it will confiscate other people's shops, does that mean that the court has no money, and it can also collect taxes from shops? Don't you want our lives? Now that there are few people standing behind the shop? It doesn't matter if you have a shop, can you open it in this place in Jingshi? The most hateful thing is that the dividends of Liulizhai are imminent, you have confiscated a word, what will we share at the end of the year? Northwest wind? What's more, the capital was drifted away by your words? That's real money.

There are not a few people who buy stocks in the court, they make money through stocks, and there are no longer a few people who make a fortune, and there are not a few people who are counting on the dividends of Liulizhai at the end of the year.

The minister who made strange remarks was stared at by dozens of eyes in the hall, and only then did he feel that he was hot and hot, and he was scorched by these angry eyes, and the minister became more and more uncomfortable, and suddenly his eyes were closed and he fainted.

"Come on, call the imperial doctor, send it down ......" Yang Gai shouted, although this person ruined today's good mood, but he was also quite happy to see that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not approve of the confiscation of Liulizhai. ,

The minister who proposed to confiscate Liulizhai was carried out, and what he said just now, the emperor and everyone treated him as a fart and let him go, and no one mentioned it again.

"Today, there is another thing, the military department is still in the ......," Yang Gai said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is here." Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the military department, immediately came out and replied.

"People often tell me about the hardships and hardships of the border army, saying that in the cold winter of the moon, I still wear thin, tattered clothes to guard my Ming Dynasty, I often feel unbearable, so I decided to buy a cotton coat for each of the border troops, in order to show my heart, in order to reward them for their hard work in guarding my Ming Dynasty, for this reason, I built a garment factory, made 800,000 sets of cotton clothes for the border army, ready to be sent to the hands of every border army, now it is October, the farthest Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, thousands of miles away, I want to send it to every officer and soldier a year ago, so that every officer and soldier can feel my care ......, so the first batch of cotton coats is ready to be shipped, I want to have a shipping ceremony, the military department, can you understand what I mean? Yang Gai suddenly announced this matter in the early court.

Now it is already early October, only two months away from the New Year, the farthest Ningxia town of the Ming Dynasty, Gansu Town is quite far away from the capital, to send the cotton clothes before the New Year, and now it can be shipped.

The ministers below whispered, 800,000 sets of cotton clothes, and the emperor was really generous.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands that this ceremony must be held in a beautiful and proper manner." Liu Yanyuan agreed without much thought, isn't this just a matter of handing out silver, sending things, and giving rewards, in short, it is a good errand to give things to others.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, this matter, is it a little inappropriate, has always been, the purchase of clothing, there are regulations, are issued and cotton huā, Your Majesty directly sent cotton clothes, it seems to be ......" For non-compliant things, someone came out to pick a thorn, what a lot of money, not from the household department, nor from the military department, directly became cotton clothes, to be sent to the soldiers, which made many people feel unhappy.

"Why not? Doesn't Your Majesty even have the right to give things? The border officers and soldiers can get His Majesty's love, and they should feel inexhaustible, and do their best to guard the border passes for His Majesty, and guard the Ming Dynasty in order to repay His Majesty's kindness. "Liu Yanyuan got such a good errand, and there is a reason for people to break it, so he immediately quarreled with this broken official, and asked the minister as soon as he came up, does the emperor have the right to give things?

This minister was speechless for a while, of course the emperor has the right to give anyone, anything, that is the supreme glory, and naturally he also has the right to give cotton clothes to the border army, although it is a bit much at a time, hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of sets of cotton clothes.

"Okay, let's do it, they are all my people, I should care more about it." Yang made a summary and didn't want to dwell too much on this issue. What do you want to do with so many cotton clothes, I understand very well that it is not a few words from anyone, a few can not be changed, in addition to buying the hearts of the low-level soldiers of the border army, it is also to promote the development of the textile industry. Increase the number of employed people and promote the transformation of the textile industry.

The ministers didn't say anything more, if in the past, once xìng sent so many cotton clothes out, the ministers of the court had to be verbose, what to save expenses, what state affairs are difficult must say a lot, but now, the emperor has a dividend of four million taels of silver, so compared with it, the hundreds of thousands of sets of cotton clothes are nothing.

Compare the goods, and you have to throw them.
