It's inevitable.

First, it is caused by poor information, and only those who are in the core of the center know better the real purpose of the imperial court in doing this, so that they will not follow the crowd.

Second, under normal competition, the aristocratic ministers with more power and financial resources themselves have more courage, strength, and motivation to cooperate with the imperial court.

Zhang Hong and Sun Bin, the great eunuchs of the inner court, also bought some, because they didn't want the emperor to think that they didn't know how to support such a new policy.

Some nobles such as the British Gongzhang Yuangong and Xing'anbo Xu Rucheng also bought some to show that since the emperor now values their nobles and allows them to assume more powers, they should naturally express their expression.

However, these people are less than Shen Shixing, and it seems that what they value more is not how much benefit they can get from this, but not only to express their support for the sale of subscription coupons to the emperor, but also to the Yuanfu Privy Envoy who is higher than himself, saying that he will not compete with you for favor and take the initiative to lower the subscription specifications.

Rao is buying subscription coupons, and he also pays attention to the orderly hierarchy.

As a result, the subscription coupons with a total value of more than 2.1 million taels of silver dollars have not been fully subscribed, and there are still a lot left.

It's just that there are a lot of subscription coupons left, but almost no one cares about them.

Naturally, it's the same reason as mentioned earlier.

Ordinary citizens still don't dare to trust the subscription coupons, believing that they can really bring profits.

In addition, the matter discussion is also consciously or unconsciously dissuading ordinary people from believing in the imperial court.

"If you want me to say, don't believe this subscription coupon!"

"Don't look at it, who are the people who buy the subscription coupons now, either the princes and nobles or the ministers!"

"In order to keep their power, they naturally have to take money to flatter and bribe power traitors! Or deliberately pretentious, deliberately luring us people to the bait. ”

Tao Youxue, the official of the Ministry of Rites, was in a tile shop on this day, and when he told his colleague Wu Zunzhi about the subscription of coupons, his words revealed that he did not trust the imperial court.

After hearing this, Wu Zunzhi twisted his eyebrows and said: "I would rather believe that this is the purpose of the above, otherwise, once the people of the world really believe that they can make profits by buying subscription coupons, then who is willing to make profits by buying land?" ”

"In this way, the land is worthless, and the peasant households with a large amount of land will be robbed of their profits in disguise, and agriculture is the foundation of the country, and this move will greatly hurt the country's capital!"

"What the public says is reasonable."

"The former is to defraud the world's wealth to enrich oneself, and the latter is the foundation of the world."

Tao Youxue nodded in agreement.

He knew that Wu Zunzhi was worried that this would change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty's "land is precious", and make the interests of these big landlords suffer serious losses.

And at the same time.

On the wall of Qipan Street outside Daming Gate, which has the largest flow of people in Beijing, a poster was also posted.

The content of the post directly said that the imperial court was borrowing to buy subscription coupons to collect wealth from the people, and it must be due to the excessive conquest that led to the deficit of the treasury, so that there was no money to do, so he called on people not to be gullible.

At one time, many people saw it.

Many people are also talking about it.

"It's better to be cautious, if the court really takes advantage of this to collect money and collect our money, I'm afraid it won't be good to come back."

"Over the years, the first conquest of the Japanese, and then the conquest of Burma, and many ministers have said that fighting the war is the most expensive and food-consuming, but this dynasty has fought a lot of big battles, but I am afraid that it really costs a lot of silver, and now this Shenwu County is the country, in order to solve the lack of money, it is estimated that he came up with this trick, and he can't be fooled!"

"It's a good Shenwu County, he is really a profiteer, and he can scavenge better than Zhang Taiyue!"

"Zhang Taiyue is just using the name of Qingzhang to loot the gentry, he is good, he actually wants to use an empty paper coupon to directly loot the money of our gentry!"

"You say, will he Shenwu County see that there are not many people to buy subscription tickets, and will trick His Majesty into issuing an order to force the gentry to buy them, and threaten to dismiss the official and the meritorious name?"

"If that's the case, then go to the sparse and discourage!"

"The eldest husband is righteous in his death, and he would rather be executed than let him Shenwu County forcibly seize the people's interests!"

In the teahouse restaurant and in the green building, there are discussions about this subscription coupon.

After hearing these discussions, Yu Shenxing, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was also worried that the imperial court would force the gentry to subscribe, so he advised Zhu Yijun to make it clear at the moment on the grounds that the state should not go against the wishes of the people, explaining that the subscription of coupons was voluntary, and the company should not force the people to subscribe.

And persuading people to get rich should not be forced, otherwise it will indeed be easier for people to think that it is a fraud.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun agreed to Yu Shenxing's request, and asked the imperial secretary to make a clear decree that the priest should not force the people to subscribe.

This reassured the people a lot.

But it is precisely because of this that some bold ordinary people have some ideas and begin to subscribe for some mineral profit subscription coupons.

Chen Jiuzhu of the government-run paper mill in Fengyang felt that the emperor's promise was not really to seize the people's interests because he saw such a holy decree in the "Di Bao", but took all the cash he obtained from the government-run paper mill in his hands, and went to the household part to buy a batch of subscription coupons from the institution that sold subscription coupons in Fengyang, the central capital.

Ye Agui heard Chen Jiuzhu say this, and also bought a subscription coupon of twenty taels of silver dollars.

Wang Xiaocao even complained to him a little because of this: "You go to join in this fun, twenty taels of silver dollars, but the hard-earned money that came out of the cold and summer heat in the paper mill." ”

"It's okay, people should be grateful!"

"I have the opportunity to rely on the government-run paper mill to eat and marry a wife and have children because of the implementation of the new industrial policy of the imperial court. If it is true, then it will naturally be earned, after all, Chen Ye and the imperial court's vision will not be wrong. ”

Ye Agui shook the baby in his arms and said with a smile.

Wang Xiaocao sighed, began to tie an apron to cook, and said, "Okay, anyway, you earned it, you can do whatever you want, and you can repay the favor!" ”

Some people buy subscription coupons based on the mentality of repaying gratitude.

After Zhang Jingxiu heard about this on the way to Beijing, he instructed his servant: "Take the 30,000 taels of silver in the house, exchange them for silver dollars, and buy subscription coupons!" If it weren't for His Majesty Hong'en, my Zhang family would not have survived to this day, how could I not support the imperial court and the new policy at this time? ”

"Yes!"

Because of this, Zhang Juzheng's family also bought some.

……

Before I knew it, it was the beginning of March of the thirteenth year of Wanli.

Spring is becoming more and more obvious, and the jade steps of the Forbidden City are gradually embellished with more and more turquoise.

"How many tickets are still on sale?"

And on this day.

Zhu Yijun, who had changed into his winter clothes, came here specially and because the subscription coupon sale deadline was imminent, he asked about Hai Rui, the head of the household.

Hai Rui replied: "There are still 600,000 taels of silver dollars in subscription coupons that have not been subscribed. ”

"That being the case, it was bought by the inner money! Then, immediately let Xu Zhenming open a new mine in naturalization! ”

Zhu Yijun didn't say anything more as he spoke, but said in his heart: "It's really the current situation, in this golden age of the monarchy, it is destined that the monarch will control most of the interests." ”
