Chapter 653: Sweeping the World
What is the concept of a quadruple skyrocket.
That is, in one day, one tael of silver became four taels of silver.
It's more exciting than a gamble.
In an agrarian society, the flow of gold and silver was very slow, and the sudden wealth that people imagined was child's play in the face of today's feast.
The whole capital was shaken.
And the news spread so fast that it has far exceeded everyone's imagination.
In the past, ordinary people did not need to get the fastest news, even if the message was delayed for ten days and half a month, for the vast majority of people, it was nothing.
After all, even in the palace, it takes a lot of time for the fastest news to reach the emperor's ears.
Can ...... now People's thirst for information has become hungry and thirsty.
The message is silver.
The first person to learn the news immediately began to sweep the goods, and in an hour or two, he made a lot of money.
Once the New Deal is implemented, it will be the best benefit in the world.
On that day, the railway company was also busy.
Knowing that the new policy was about to be implemented, the construction of a new railway was immediately put on the agenda.
The budget for the construction of the railway also needs to be restarted.
There are even bold ideas that have been proposed.
The railway company does not need a budget for the purchase of several land at all.
Because...... The implementation of the new policy is bound to be greatly biased in favor of the railway companies, and they will do their best to reduce the cost of railway construction.
Some people are already getting moving.
There have even been many rumors that some people are trying to advance the salt and iron law.
In Daming, the mining of iron ore is a matter for the government.
But now that the railway is being built, the demand for iron ore is bound to become huge.
And if you wait for the government to mine, it may not be able to meet the needs of the moment.
Once this was also incorporated into the content of the New Deal.
Then for the construction of the railway, it will be a huge benefit.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was sitting in a teahouse, and when he heard the shopkeeper of the teahouse, several guests who were dancing with their eyebrows dancing in person were talking endlessly.
"The old man bought more than 70 shares, first went up, then the new deal was suspended, and then plummeted, at that time, many people were in a hurry, and they were selling everywhere. But the old man is as steady as Mount Tai, guess why?
To tell you the truth, my teahouse is very well-informed, and when the old man heard that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War had bought this share, and there were quite a few of them, I decided in my heart. You don't want to think about it, so many people's net worth and lives are on this, if you really want to fall like this, the old man will lose only more than 70 shares, how much will people lose? Are those officials the ones who are willing to suffer? ”
After everyone heard this, someone said: "In this way, even salt and iron, there will be a new law?" ”
The man said: "Salt must not be expected, but iron ore ...... I can't say, once the new deal is made, the fields will be divided, but whether those mountains and forests should be divided, and how will they be divided? What if there are mines in the mountains? Here, there is a lot to do, how to get it, is what those ministers think, but ...... I only know one thing, this stock, he has risen. ”
"It is said that many people are trying to find ways to buy coal and iron, and I am afraid that I will make a lot of money doing this now."
"Coal is worthless, who knows that it is so in demand now."
"What's more, don't talk about anything else, let's just say that the cotton cloth now, I'm afraid it's going to make a lot of money, the cotton cloth of the Zhang family didn't sell well a few days ago, but now it's ...... A swarm of people ran to buy cotton cloth, and if anyone had a cotton field, it would be even more profitable. ”
"This is the truth, in the past, many places could not even pay salaries, we ordinary people, who dared to buy new clothes, but now it is different, now who doesn't know, immediately all the workshops will start, many new mines have to recruit manpower, wages are indispensable, I am afraid that it will rise, at this time to buy a new set of clothes, there is nothing wrong."
These people are talking a lot.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse's eyes lit up at this time, sat in the corner, and said in a low voice: "Get rich, get rich, I thought about it, this mountain and forest are all mine, I let people mine coal and iron, I'm afraid to make a fortune." ”
Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty...... At present, these two things are extremely in demand, and the minister is in Liaodong, and he has already let people go around looking for minerals. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but say, "Thinking about it this way, the world is ...... now If you really want a million profits, you have to rely on the railway, which is not a business. ”
"Of course, from mining, to manufacturing, and then to the workshop laying, the things involved, all aspects, convenient transportation, and can derive a lot of industries, now this is the tuyere, who stands on the top, said that it is a million profits, it is not an exaggeration. It's just that those who refuse to stand on the cusp of the wind don't need His Majesty and ministers now, and someone will naturally clean them up. Your Majesty...... Snatching people's money is like killing parents, let's rob the gentry's land, those gentry and big landlords, hindering the princes of the court, the same, Your Majesty, and see them kill a river of blood. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed: "But what are we doing?" ”
"Let's do something useful."
"Something useful?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi hesitantly.
Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "Educate people, cultivate countless talents for my Ming Dynasty, think about it, does this mining need technology, and build steam locomotives?" What about operating railways? What about accounting? And what about mapping and exploring terrain? These are now all professions on the tuyere, and they are needed everywhere, so let's recruit students, teach them more advanced arithmetic, teach them physics, and teach them to make ...... As long as they are out of business, they will be fragrant and sweet in the future, which is beneficial to them, and the so-called all the way is good, and all the way is good. Arithmetic is very useful, and other studies are also very useful, and in the future, when they are integrated, many machines will spring up. Today's learning about the steam engine is just the beginning. Since ancient times, how many strange and obscene things in the world, the minister has seen many antiques, the manufacture of this antiquity, incomparably profound, people are breathtaking. But why...... Now I want to recreate it, but I can't find it? The fundamental reason for this is that people regard skills as heirlooms, and refuse to show them to others easily, I only have the inheritance of scriptures, but there is no inheritance of skills, if there is no inheritance, what we can make today, who will carry it forward? Thus...... The inheritance of this miscellaneous science must be put on the agenda. ”
"Makes sense." The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded: "In this way, then follow the example of the military academy." ”
"Yes, even if you follow the example of a military academy, you might as well build a university hall to open up the study of various subjects and teach and educate people."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "I can teach people carpentry." ”
"It's not good to call it a carpenter, and when people hear that it's a carpenter, they inevitably shake their heads."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with carpentry."
Zhang Jing smiled and said: "You have to catch up with the fashion, you might as well call it engineering, so that when you hear it, you will feel sharp and powerful, although it is actually a civil engineering thing." ”
Emperor of the Apocalypse: "I think you're becoming more and more like those scholars. ”
Zhang Jing smiled and said: "Where, where, the minister is still far from them, recently infected by them, quite inspired, in the future, the minister will work hard and strive to be like them." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse is happy.
But then his expression became solemn: "The railway is about to be repaired, which is the general trend." But once the new deal is made, there will inevitably be many stubborn people who defect to Li Zicheng. This Li Zicheng has taken advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold in Jingxiang, and has been involved in Changsha, this Hunan is about to be taken into his pocket, and then he will receive two Guangzhou, or into Sichuan, or down the river to the south of the Yangtze River, this will be a very terrible thing for my Ming Dynasty, this southern half of the country, do you want to give it to others, sooner or later, he will also have to fight with me, Zhang Qing, this matter is also like a fish in my throat. I didn't want to be Emperor Yang of Sui, and finally built the Grand Canal, but as a result, I let others sit in the world and die and the country was destroyed. ”
Zhang Jingyi's expression also became solemn, and he immediately said: "Today, two trends of thought have begun to gradually form. This Li Zicheng can sit big now, and the essence of it is that he has taken advantage of the loopholes, and he picked up the things that the court discarded, so he used it to win people's hearts. Now his strength is indeed expanding rapidly, which is also because many unwilling gentry have reached the point where they cannot tolerate the imperial court, so much so that they would rather merge with the rogue. The question now is not the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but whether His Majesty can trust himself. ”
"Trust yourself?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise.
In fact, to a certain extent, Li Zicheng did make a fairly correct choice.
This right or wrong is not right or wrong per se, but is considered based on strategic direction.
There is nothing wrong with him being born in a rogue, and because of this, in history, Li Zicheng, who was born in a rogue, swept the world with the anger of this commoner, and even almost won the world.
It's just that...... It's just a little bit close.
The Ming Dynasty is gone, the Jingshi has fallen, the Taoist system does not exist, Li Zicheng far underestimated the power of those gentry, these people who have mastered public opinion, money and food population, quickly merged with the Jiannu people outside the Guan, so the Jiannu people in the name of avenging Emperor Chongzhen, and opened the imperial examination, and reused the Ming ministers, and at the same time recruited Yan Shenggong to advocate for him, but he became the successor of the Ming Dynasty and the defender of Confucianism.
In the end, under this kind of internal and external troubles, Li Zicheng's army was defeated, and then, there was no one in the world who could stop the iron cavalry of the Jiannu people.
And now...... History has changed.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse himself threw the so-called Dao system to the ground, and Li Zicheng saw the opportunity and made another choice.
Of course, Zhang Jingyi doesn't know how much controversy has occurred in Li Zicheng's camp for this decision.
But at least, it seems that Li Zicheng has made the right choice, and his strength has begun to expand rapidly.
And because he received the support of many gentry, he began to no longer wander around the country, but began to have his own territory, and slowly began to establish a set of administrative systems.
