However, the news could not be concealed after all, and soon, the happy news of the Duchess of Lianguo still spread, so for a while, many people came to congratulate her. The words that the emperor said to everyone at the banquet are still unforgettable, and everyone knows that this Liu Yi is really going to soar to the sky, and now that he has earned such a great credit, the reward of this will must be extremely rich.

Liu Chengfeng is now a real Zhongtian, if it is said that before, he may have only been confined to Jinyiwei, and most people were not interested in dealing with him, but now many people understand that Liu Chengfeng's energy can no longer be limited to the pro-army, so the people who have a relationship with him naturally refuse to let go of this opportunity.

Liu Chengfeng was also annoyed by these visitors, and it didn't seem good to go to a good hospitality, but if he ordered the expulsion of guests, it didn't seem to be good. Suo asked the porter to say that he was sick and it was inconvenient to see guests, so he blocked everyone outside.

And at this time, the treasure building, driven by the good news, suddenly it was also a boiling, those frustrated businessmen in the past are now all smiling, even the voice of the voice is louder than usual, before the news spreads, there are only hundreds of visitors in the treasure building, and the news came out, the whole city was a sensation, countless carriages and sedan chairs rushed to the treasure building, and some people even thought that the sedan chair and carriage were not fast enough, they were running to the treasure house, when they arrived at the treasure building, the first thing to see was the panel of the current price of the goods, The price that fell to the bottom yesterday has been rising for half a pillar of incense.

The price of silk had fallen to the bottom, at two or three dollars a horse. It was maintained at this price early in the morning, but immediately after, it began to climb steadily, and by noon, it rose directly to two or seven dollars. What a terrible thing it is that a piece of silk has risen by four denarii, and that is this?

Not only that, but the price is only afraid that it will have to rise, and those merchants who were originally full of goods are not in a hurry to sell at this time, and they have formed a tacit understanding and refuse to trade. On the contrary, those merchants who usually refuse to buy goods are now red-eyed and buy all kinds of goods everywhere, but the current price is still priceless.

So, the price on the panel continued to rise as usual, and the people on the inner and outer three floors were crowded under this panel, watching the guys from the Jubao Trading House update the price of the goods with charcoal every once in a while, everyone held their breath, suppressed the excitement in their bodies, and their lips trembled and they couldn't speak.

Such a scene was unheard of in the past, the market could not buy goods, and the price rose like a wild horse galloping, an hour later, the price rose more than a penny, the price of silk to two or eight dollars and five cents.

In just one morning, someone is going to get rich, not to mention making a fortune, the only thing that those businessmen who were anxious to hang themselves are thinking about now is that there are still too few goods in their warehouse.

And at noon, the merchants here have gathered tens of thousands of people, almost all of them gather here, the black pressure can not see the end, and even some can not see the charcoal text on the panel at all, they can only gather here to join in the fun, and the guys in the treasure building will continue to bang the gong to quote the latest current price.

"The price of tea has risen again, and a pound of high-quality tea has risen to four taels and five cents.

The so-called Tu Lao Mao is talking about those landlords and squires who have converted their land to tea trees, these people said some time ago that their eyes were red, and a large number of tea piles were piled up in the library and could not get out.

In fact, they are not the only ones who raise their eyebrows, the businessmen who were still wailing a few days ago are now smiling, but the previous businessmen who did not dare to hoard goods with cash in their hands are all sighing and annoyed at this time.

And then, many businessmen began to leave, for them, the price is only afraid that it will continue to rise, now they have the goods in hand, and they are not in a hurry to sell, and when the price stabilizes to a certain stage, it is not too late to sell out, and now for them, there are more important things to do.

Most of these people were workshop owners, and just a few days ago their workshops were in a state of semi-shutdown, with a massive effort to lay off artisans and apprentices. But now, they had to get the workshop back in full swing, and bring back all the craftsmen and apprentices, not only that, but they were afraid that an increase in scale was also imminent.

Now the goods on the market are so tight, it is foreseeable that there will be a shortage of goods in the market for a period of time, and there is news just now, Jubao firm has also begun to stock up on a large number of goods, the need for silk is 200,000 horses, tens of thousands of catties of tea, as well as porcelain, carriages for transporting goods, and ironware are also huge.

Now, taking advantage of the rise in prices, it is natural to produce as many goods as possible.

Wu Dongjia of the silk workshop almost ran back to his workshop, as soon as the front foot arrived, he immediately called a few foremen and the tent together, he was out of breath, supporting the desk with his hands, his eyes were slightly red, and he said hoarsely to the people: "Go, post notices, recruit craftsmen and apprentices, how many are recruited, those who have been dismissed in the past, try to try to contact, see if they are willing to come back, the salary, you can add a little bit, just say that the workshop used to be sorry for everyone, but now, Please come back no matter what. Also, Mr. Liu, you try to negotiate with the people of Hengtong Machinery Co., and tell them that we will pay the money now, and then customize 50 textile machines, the price can be negotiated, but the textile machinery must be delivered within ten days, and it cannot be delayed in any way. On the outskirts of the city, near the Beizi River, didn't there be a lot of new workshops? Liu Tent, you tried to rent a workshop there, but it really didn't work, put a piece of land down, you don't have to worry about the silver, as long as the Jubao Money Village is willing to give a mortgage, you can always give a loan. ”

The tent is an old pedant, once a teacher of Mengxue, but the imperial examination every year is hopeless, so he was disheartened, and finally was invited by the Wu Dongjia with a high salary, at first the old pedant was still twisted and pinched, but later I heard that many people like him are now going to the workshop to find a job, plus the salary is not low, compared to being a teacher himself, it is really a heaven and earth, so he also started this tent, and now it is gradually opened, he stroked his beard and said: "The owner, the students have also heard about this, Not only our workshop, but most of the other workshops will do the same, re-recruiting people, buying textile machines, and trying their best to expand the workshop, but I am afraid that for a while, we may not be able to raise it. ”

This Wu Dongjia is a vigorous and resolute person, said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, how many points you can do is a few points, the current situation, as long as the spinning machine is running, silk can be made to earn silver, after this village there is no such shop, everyone try their best to do it, it really can't be done, and then find another way." ”

Everyone did not dare to delay, and then dispersed in a hurry.

It's only been an hour's work, almost the entire streets and alleys of the Beijing Division, have been posted with all kinds of recruitment notices for craftsmen and apprentices, basically the recruitment notices are very simple, as long as there are two legs, as long as it is a person, there is no lack of arms and legs, this workshop is going to be, almost the wall facing the street, there is this kind of news everywhere, dense, people can't help but smack their tongues when they see it.

Kilns, silk spinning, tea workshops, iron workshops, machine workshops...... There is a shortage of people everywhere, and wages are also rising, and the entire Jingshi, compared with the wailing in the previous days, has completely changed its appearance.

This news naturally can't be hidden from the government, and the Shuntian Mansion is also speechless, for this phenomenon, they can't understand it, and they don't understand, but of course they don't have to understand this thing, so they hurriedly wrote to the cabinet to inform them of the matter.

In the cabinet, Zhu Youzhu personally arrived, and as soon as the movement in the Beijing division reached their ears, he immediately paid attention to it, and immediately moved to the cabinet duty room to discuss with the cabinet ministers.

"This thing is really incomprehensible, a few days ago it was still struggling, the street was full of property homeless people, and those businessmen were going to die and live one by one. As for the imperial court, it was also pondering whether to let the government intervene, no matter how to think of a way, if it continues like this, something big will definitely happen. It is said that the price of goods is rising, and the major workshops immediately started to recruit people everywhere, and they were afraid that people would not come, and even the wages had increased a lot compared to last month. Your Majesty, Weichen is getting more and more confused, but after thinking about it, he finally found the crux of the problem. ”

Li Dongyang was talking eloquently, Li Dongyang continued while observing Zhu Youzhang's face attentively, and said: "The crux of this is still on Liu Chengfeng, if something happens to Liu Chengfeng, those workshops will be turbulent, but if Liu Chengfeng can be safe, the displaced people in this world will have a livelihood." In fact, the problem is not just with Liu Chengfeng, but with the ancestral system......"

When he said this, Li Dongyang couldn't help but look at Zhu Youzhang's face, because the matter to be discussed today was quite taboo.
