At the end of the first month of the fifteenth year of Wanli.

After Ma Gui faced the saint on the platform, he officially took the soldiers and horses that had been transferred from the Beijing camp and the Son of Heaven's personal army and guards and had completed the training, and went north.

At the post stations from Yeongpyeong to Busan, soldiers began to spread their horses' hooves and gallop around, and report the march of the army to the official posts everywhere.

At the same time, after hearing the news, the officials in various places also began to pour hay into the manger and began to cook rice.

This is the logistics system set up by Liu Yingjie during the cabinet, a large number of disaster victims and displaced people are organized into post soldiers, instead of the post station people's battle, and the post soldiers are responsible for cooking and preparing forage for the passing army in wartime, and at the same time transmitting information, and in peacetime they undertake the official and civilian mail services, and the people are naturally charged to make up for the cost of the post station.

And so it goes.

The army can get supplies while marching, and there is no need to wait for the grain and grass to come and go, and they can speed up the time to get to Busan, and then go to Dongying, where they can start to carry a large amount of grain and grass for field warfare.

As for the opening of the post station mail function to serve the people, it is because the Ming Dynasty has already abolished the road guidance system, and the people who have migrated to other places have been given legal status, that is, the residence ticket system, which has strengthened the mobility of the people and increased the demand for postal services.

In addition, the increasing affluence of the people in the country has also made many people willing to spend money to mail letters and various items, including money, back home.

So the post station began to open to the public.

Where there is a post station, there are inns and corresponding shops that serve the detention brigade, and naturally there are a large number of service personnel, and it is like a market town, with a large number of people gathered, so often when a large number of troops will stop here, there will also be a large number of passers-by in these places.

When Magui and his army stopped at a post station in Liaodong, a large number of people were buying coupons for North Korean iron ore that had just been put on sale.

The Ministry of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty has decided to develop North Korean iron ore first, and because the population of the post stations is concentrated, the subscription coupons will also be sold at the post stations.

Since the last sale of mineral profit subscription coupons has made many scholars a lot of profits, many scholars have begun to know through various information channels that the imperial court really wants to make a fortune with the people of the world, and many scholars have begun to be keen to take out the money in the money in the money bank or cellar to buy subscription coupons.

However, it was mainly the scholars and wealthy who bought the subscription vouchers.

One is that there are limited information channels in this era.

People all over the world mainly obtain information through newspapers and periodicals and oral transmission.

The people who can know the benefits of this subscription coupon first must be the families of powerful officials and eunuchs or people who have a relationship or contact with them, and these people are naturally rich people with some connections at worst.

The second is that even if the imperial court deliberately let the Jinyi guards and officials read the newspaper for the people and preach the subscription coupons for the people, because the small people themselves are more cautious because of their own lack of financial resources, and the poorer the people, the more stubborn and difficult to be persuaded are, so if you want most of the common people to participate, you still have to wait for more wealth myths to appear, so that many ordinary people can see that the people around them also make a fortune by subscribing to coupons, and they will be willing to take out the money at the bottom of the box and buy the subscription coupons of the imperial court.

Therefore, most of the people who buy subscription coupons are mainly scholars and wealthy households, except for the powerful and bureaucrats.

However, just as the imperial examination is because the common people have witnessed the people of the same clan and the same country, and they have become famous because of their fame, so that the common people are very enthusiastic about the imperial examination, and even borrow money to study the imperial examination, and even relatives and friends are willing to borrow money to help them study the imperial examination, and regard the imperial examination as the right way in life, as more and more ordinary people make a fortune by subscribing to coupons, it will naturally still drive more ordinary people to believe that subscribing to coupons is profitable.

And it can enable the imperial court to tie the interests of more people to the cart of foreign expansion.

Ye Agui increased his income by subscribing to coupons, and resigned from his job in the paper mill, bought a second-entry house in Qingjiangpu, and opened a paper shop.

Ye Agui's father-in-law, Wang Chenglin, also began to live with his daughter and son-in-law, helping to look after the shop, and did not pull fiber to make money.

Wang Chenglin loves to be outside the shop with his hands behind his back now, stopping his former friends who are passing by to catch up and chat, and by the way, he boasts about how capable his daughter and son-in-law are.

On this day, the spring is bright, the sky is shining, and the surface of the canal is shining gold.

Wang Chenglin put his hands behind his back again, chewed fennel beans, carried a pot of rice wine, and after seeing his old friend Ren Yonggang, who had returned to the shack, he hurriedly stopped them: "Old Ren, have you been on a lot of boats lately, come and rest." ”

Ren Yonggang looked at Wang Chenglin and touched the brick wall behind him over and over again, and only said: "How dare I rest, I don't have as good luck as your Wang Lao, I have a good son-in-law who can make money, lives in a brick house, does a good business, and lets you follow the store, no need to work hard." ”

"What do you do when you say this, he is also lucky, and he bought some subscription coupons."

Although Wang Chenglin was modest in his words, his face was full of brilliance, and he went back to the house and took a bowl of wine for Ren Yonggang: "Come and taste this, my son-in-law gave me the newly bought Shaoxing rice wine to relieve my fatigue." ”

"You still drink Shaoxing rice wine, you are now blessed! I've only pulled this stuff in previous years, but I've never drunk it. ”

"Thanks!"

Ren Yonggang smiled and said that he took the bowl of wine and drank it, licked the corner of his mouth after drinking, and said, "Can Wang Lao have another bowl, I drank it too quickly just now, and I didn't taste it." ”

"I don't have much either, next time."

Wang Chenglin hurriedly snatched the bowl and went in with rice wine.

Ren Yonggang looked at Wang Chenglin's back and the coarse silk clothes on his body, his expression was a little complicated.

Immediately, he went home, opened the cellar, and the man went in, and soon took out a bag of silver, and went to the place where the subscription coupons were sold at the Qingjiangpu Post Station.

There are still many ordinary people like Ren Yonggang, and the surplus money of the people is indeed flowing into the hands of the imperial court more through the way of subscribing coupons.

But this is not a small loss for some powerful people who have become wealthy because of their greed for money and have benefited greatly from financial industries such as lending.

"The money in the money village has been withdrawn, how can we lend money to the officials of Huguang for profit?"

On this day, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, talked about this matter to Zhu Yunchao of the clan and Wang Bihe of the long history.

Wang Bihe said: "It depends on whether His Royal Highness is willing to give benefits to the court." ”

Zhu Huakui said: "This benefit can't be given!" ”

"Unless all the subscription coupons for the iron ore belong to my Chu Palace, otherwise, it will not be worth the loss of the Wangfu Mansion."

"Then what are you waiting for, Your Highness has already asked people to dig up a jade seal from heaven in Hanyang, indicating that the Mandate of Heaven has returned to Your Highness!"

"Otherwise, Your Highness really has to wait for the clan in the palace who is not satisfied with you to inform you of your lending and bribery, and with the results of your treatment of King Chong, I am afraid that Your Highness will not end well."

Wang Bihe said.

After hearing this, Zhu Huakui asked Zhu Yunchao: "Did you really contact Fu Zhao to support us in doing this?" ”

Zhu Yunchuan nodded: "There are also many military attaches in Jingzhou who are also willing, and now they can gather at least 30,000 troops!" ”

Wang Bihe said: "Your Highness, the people of the world have been dissatisfied with the king for a long time! Now it is even more reckless, the army is in Japan, and even in Donglaiguang to recruit soldiers and civilians, so the Middle Earth is empty, it can be described as a good opportunity to raise troops, so at this time it is not difficult to serve the heavens, when is it difficult to serve the heavens? ”

"That's right, the reason is also ready-made, the conquest of Dongying has violated the ancestral system, according to the ancestral system, Japan is a country that is not conquered, and now he Zhu Yijun does not think about liquidating the right to rape Zhang Juzheng, but he is still happy, tired of the people and abusers, violates the ancestral system, and is just Fengtianjing!"

Zhu Yunchuan said.

After hearing this, Zhu Huakui suddenly slapped the case: "Then it will be difficult to be in the sky!" ”

"Lone really can't bear that he Zhu Yijun bends his own clan relatives for the sake of the interests of the country and the nation in the so-called new ceremony, and even prisoners kill his brother!"

After Zhu Huakui made a decision, he also spoke his heart, and gritted his teeth: "This is against the law of the ancestors!" ”

"Your Highness has decided, then you should first create another auspicious rui to confuse the foolish people again!"

After Wang Bihe left the palace of the king of Chu, he proposed a new idea to Zhu Yunchao, who was an accomplice in this matter.

Zhu Yunchuan nodded.
