Wanli Youming

Chapter 495

Chapter 495

At the end of the first month of the 15th year of Wanli.

After Ma Gui met the saint on the platform, he formally headed north with the soldiers and horses who had been drawn from the Beijing camp and the emperor's military guards and had finished training.

From Yongping to Busan, there are shop soldiers galloping with their horseshoes, reporting the progress of the army to the various official posts.

At the same time, after hearing the news, the various official posts also began to pour fodder into the manger, and started to cook.

This is the logistics system established by Liu Yingjie during his stay in the cabinet. A large number of refugees and refugees were organized into post soldiers to replace the post station people's battle. In normal times, it undertakes the postal service for the government and the people, and the public is naturally charged to make up for the cost of the post station.

As such.

The army can obtain supplies while marching, instead of waiting for food and grass to arrive before leaving, it can speed up the time to rush to Busan, and then go to Dongying, where they start to carry a large amount of food and grass for field battles.

As for the postal function of the open post station to serve the public, it is because the Ming Dynasty has already abolished the guide system and legalized the people who migrated to other places, that is, the residence ticket system, which strengthened the mobility of the people and increased the demand for postal services.

In addition, the increasing affluence of the domestic people has also made many people willing to spend money on posting letters and various items, including money, to go home.

So the station began to open to the public.

Where there is a post station, there are inns and corresponding shops that serve the detainees. Naturally, there are a large number of service personnel, and it looks like a market town with a large population. Therefore, when a large number of troops will stop here, there will also be a large number of passing people. Rest in these places.

When Ma Gui and his army stopped at a post station in Liaodong, a large number of people at this post station were buying subscription tickets for the newly launched North Korean iron ore mine.

The Ministry of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty has decided to develop the iron mines in North Korea first. Because the population of various post stations is concentrated, subscription tickets will also be sold at the post stations.

Since the sale of mining subscription coupons last time, many scholars have benefited a lot, and many scholars have learned 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 enthusiastic about it. Take the money in the bank or in the cellar, and buy subscriptions.

However, the main purchasers of subscription coupons were scholars and wealthy households.

One is because of the limited information channels in this era.

People in the world mainly get information through newspapers and people's word of mouth.

The people who can first know the benefits of this subscription coupon must be rich and powerful officials or people who have connections with them, and the worst of these people are naturally wealthy households with some connections.

The second is that even if the imperial court deliberately asked Jin Yiwei and officials to read newspapers for the people and preach the subscription coupons for the people, because of the lack of financial resources, the people are more cautious, and the poorer they are, the more stubborn they are and it is difficult to be persuaded. Therefore, if most common people want to participate, they still have to wait for more wealth myths to appear, so that many common people can see that the people around them are also making a fortune from subscription coupons, and then they will be willing to take out the money they have kept in the bottom of the box to buy the imperial court. subscription coupons.

Therefore, apart from the powerful and bureaucratic, most of the subscription coupons are purchased by scholars and rich households.

But just as the imperial examination is because the common people witnessed that people of the same clan and the same country became famous because of their fame, the common people were very enthusiastic about the imperial examination, and even borrowed money to study the imperial examination, and even relatives and friends were willing to borrow money to help them study the imperial examination. The imperial examination is regarded as the right way of life. As more and more common people rely on subscription coupons to make a fortune, it will naturally drive more common people to believe that subscription coupons are profitable.

And it will enable the imperial court to tie the interests of more citizens to the cart of external expansion.

Ye Agui earned more than a hundred taels of silver by relying on the subscription coupons, quit his job in the paper workshop, bought a second-entry house in Qingjiangpu, and opened a paper shop. Naturally, he and his family no longer lived in shacks. Began to live in a brick house.

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, instead of earning money.

Wang Chenglin likes to stand outside the shop with his hands behind his back when he has nothing to do, stopping the old friends who passed by to talk about the old days, and by the way, boasting about how capable his daughter and son-in-law are. The process of progressing to mud huts is saved.

On this day, the spring is beautiful, the sky is clear, and the canal is full of golden lights.

Wang Chenglin once again held his hands behind his back, chewing fennel beans, and carrying a pot of rice wine. After seeing his old friend Ren Yong, who was walking back to the shed, passing by, he hurriedly stopped him: "Old Ren, are there too many boats lately? Come and have a rest." Bar."

Ren Yonggang watched Wang Chenglin touch the brick wall behind him again and again, and said: "I dare not rest, I am not as lucky as your old man, I have a good son-in-law who can make money, and I live in a brick house , doing a good deal, and let you watch the store, so you don't have to work hard."

"What do you say, he just got lucky and bought some subscription coupons."

Although Wang Chenglin spoke modestly, his face was full of brilliance, and he went back to the house and took a clay bowl and poured 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 can still drink Shaoxing rice wine, you are lucky now! I only drank this thing in the past, but never drank it."

"Thank you!"

Just as Ren Yong said with a smile, he took the bowl of wine and drank it. After drinking, he licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Can Mr. Wang have another bowl? I drank too fast just now, and I didn't taste the taste."

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

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

Ren Yonggang looked at Wang Chenglin's back and the thick silk dress on him with a complicated expression.

Immediately, he went home, opened the cellar, and got in. Not long after, he took out a bag of silver and walked to the place where subscription coupons were sold at Qingjiangpu Station.

There are still many common people like Ren Yonggang, and more private money is indeed flowing into the hands of the court through subscription coupons.

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

"All the money from the bank has been taken away, how can we lend money to Huguang officials for interest?"

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

Wang Bi said condescendingly: "It depends on whether His Highness is willing to give in to the court."

Zhu Huakui said: "This advantage cannot be passed!"

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

"Then what are you waiting for, Your Highness? Someone has dug up a jade seal from heaven in Hanyang, which means that the destiny has belonged to Your Highness!"

"Otherwise, His Highness really wants to wait for the dissatisfied clan in the mansion to inform the present about your lending and bribery. Based on the result of the present's handling of King Chong, I am afraid that it will also end badly for you, Your Highness."

Wang Bihe said.

After hearing this, Zhu Huakui asked Zhu Yunqian: "Do you really have contact with Fuyian to support us in doing this?"

Zhu Yunqian nodded: "There are quite a few military officers in Jingzhou who are also willing, and now we can gather at least [-] troops!"

Wang Bi reconciled: "Your Highness, the people of the world have been dissatisfied with Jie and Zhou for a long time! Now it is even more aggressive, raising troops in Japan, and even recruiting soldiers and people in Donglai. Therefore, the middle land is empty. It can be said that it is a good opportunity to raise troops. , when will it be difficult for Tianjing?"

"That's true, and the reason is ready-made. The conquest of Dongying would have violated the ancestral system. According to the ancestral system, Japan is a country that will not be conquered. Now Zhu Yijun doesn't want to liquidate Zhang Juzheng, the power traitor, but he is so happy. Regime, it is difficult to obey Tianjing!"

Zhu Yunqian said.

After hearing this, Zhu Huakui suddenly jumped up: "Then Feng Tian Jing is difficult!"

"I really can't stand him, Zhu Yijun, for the so-called interests of the country and the nation in the new rituals, subjugating his own clan, and even imprisoning his brothers and killing his brothers!"

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

"Since Your Highness has decided, let's create another auspicious auspicious omen first, so as not to confuse the foolish people again!"

Wang Bihe proposed a new idea to Zhu Yunqian who was accomplice in this matter after leaving Chu Palace.

Zhu Yunqian nodded.
