Chapter 358: Building Momentum

"Send 300,000 silver coins to Master Xu first, and wait a month or two, and then I will send 300,000 silver coins to the past......" Yang reform's first sentence was to allocate 300,000 silver coins, and the internal money quickly bottomed out.

“…… If it's not enough, I can add it, and the matter of this raft must not be delayed...... Tell Master Xu, let him be bold, let go and do it, I support him ......, by the way, I also issued an edict, strictly ordered Zhou Yanru, be sure to rush to Ningxia Town in time, be sure to buy enough rafts in time, if there is procrastination, stagnation, and ineffective work, I will never forgive...... "Yang changed hastily and dispersed the ministers and began to operate this matter independently.

"The slave and the maid obey the order, and then send someone to draw up the order." Wang Chengen agreed.

"Then send someone to tell Fan Weicheng and ask him to send someone to Fugu County, Shaanxi, to conduct an exclusive interview with Shi Kefa, take Shi Kefa as a typical example, an advanced example for publicity, and show the immigration officials' dedication to the disaster victims through the Di Bao, as well as the matter of this sheepskin raft, also write it in, so as to increase the confidence of the disaster victims, by the way, Di Bao should also enter Shaanxi as soon as possible, so that more disaster victims can see and hear Di Bao." Yang Reform instructed again, although he ordered the people of the General Administration, but whether Fan Weicheng listened to the General Secretary or not was another matter, and Yang Reform ordered again.

"The slave and maid have written down ......," Wang Chengen agreed.

"In addition, at Li Ruolian's place...... Mention, no, borrow a million taels of silver, calculate the interest...... "Yang Reform originally wanted to take a million directly, but think about it, or borrow, the bank he opened, if it becomes his own ATM, then, this bank will not be able to open, even if he has control, if he does not "borrow" the bank's silver, it is difficult to ensure that the next emperor will have self-control, or form a rule in his own hands, although it doesn't seem to be very good, but, let's start from myself, the emperor has never had it" The world", then, borrow it, borrow it, and shame it.

"Ah, Your Majesty, do you really want to borrow? Pay back the interest? Your Majesty, the slave is afraid that Li Ruolian will not dare to collect His Majesty's interest...... "Wang Chengen saw that the emperor actually said to borrow silver, and felt that it was really a shame for the emperor, so he hurriedly stopped it.

"It's okay, you can borrow it in the name of Yang Reform, don't use my name, this is the rule, you have to do it in the future, otherwise this bank won't be able to open? If I can withdraw money from the bank at any time, I want to let those ministers know, and I still think that the bank is my second inner money, and I am afraid that when the internal money is finished, I will count on the bank, and if this continues, no matter how much money there is in the bank, it will not be enough for those people to worry about......" Yang explained reform.

"This, that's it,...... Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will do it. Wang Chengen thought about the emperor's words, and felt that the emperor was reasonable, what are you doing now, the ministers are staring at the emperor's internal funds, and they will call the emperor's internal funds at every turn.

"Forget it, I've borrowed everything, I'll write an IOU again, and the interest will be given in half......" In order to establish rules, Yang Reform did not hesitate to use words to testify, of course, he would not use Zhu Youzhen's name and Yang Reform.

"Ah, Your Majesty, this is really not appropriate, just borrow it, if you still make a note, then you will ...... in the future" Wang Chengen was so anxious, this thing is a bomb, the whole world belongs to the emperor, and the emperor also wrote an IOU to others, what does this mean? This is a blow to the sacredness of the emperor and the imperial power granted by God.

"It'......s okay, borrow it in Yang Reform's name, and I won't sign my real name," Yang Reform explained with a smile.

Wang Chengen had nothing to say. It was borrowed by the emperor, not by the emperor, it depends on how to say it, and this can only be according to the emperor's will.

Shaanxi.

On the official road from Xi'an Mansion to Ningxia Town.

A line of fast horses is galloping.

There are only a dozen people in this group, and the leader is Zhou Yanru, the deputy Qincha.

Zhou Yanru thought about it all night in the post station, thinking about whether to pay attention to the ass of today or the ass in the future, if you are afraid of the pain of the butt today, and you will be slow to Ningxia Town for a few days, the consequences may be quite serious, and it will be directly related to the position of the ass in the future.

Shaanxi's immigrants, obviously, are now the emperor's most important thing, and the key to immigration is northern Shaanxi, and the key to immigration in northern Shaanxi is in the raft, and the raft is the key in Ningxia Town, so it is a great achievement to reach Ningxia Town in time and deal with the matter of the raft in a timely manner, this is a great achievement, not only the emperor is good at making a good deal with it, and has a good impression, Xu Guangqi will not be an immigrant in the future, then, the recommended candidate, ten will be himself, Zhou Yanru thought about it all night, and finally decided to give up the team of people and horses, and take light horses, using the fast horses of the post station, changing horses without changing people, at a speed of 300 miles a day, rushed to the edge of the Yellow River in Ningxia Town. ,

Although his butt hurt very much, thinking that his butt would be able to sit in the cabinet safely in the future, that he would be able to be an immigrant in the future, and that he would be famous for eternity because of immigrants in the future, Zhou Yanru forgot about the pain and rushed forward one by one.

Yang Reform, who has been thinking about it on the platform for a long time, has now figured it out, the matter of Shaanxi is close to a critical moment, he is far away in Beijing, he can not do much, what he can do is in terms of money, don't drop the chain, other Xu Guangqi's Si Nong Division, naturally there are those immigration officers to operate, good or bad, it depends on those people, they are far away in the capital, and everything needs to go through their own hands, which is very unrealistic.

Immigration is the key to Shaanxi in the late Ming Dynasty, what kind of rebellion, the people's uprising, Yang Reform really didn't pay much attention to it, the rebellion without the participation of the disaster victims, it was a joke at all, Yang Reform was not afraid at all. I am afraid that those people will coerce a large number of disaster victims, sweep the entire Shaanxi with locusts, and cause devastating damage to Shaanxi, which is what Yang Reform is afraid of.

Nowadays, there are Si Nongsi immigrants and rebellion tug-of-war, and there is a new army in Shaanxi, Yang Reform is not very afraid, according to the current situation, at most a person who uses the new army to practice in Shaanxi, those who rebel want to become a climate, it is difficult to ......

After considering his own situation clearly, Yang Reform also changed his attitude towards things, and began to laugh at life, and he was not angry, let alone angry, and those salt merchants would not pay for themselves for their bad body.

"Big friend, send this secret box to Shaanxi." Yang Gai wrote a private letter to Xu Guangqi and asked Wang Chengen to send it out. There are some things that are inconvenient to say clearly, so you can only explain them by private message.

In the letter, Yang Gai told Xu Guangqi that he sent Guo Huan and the people of the choir to comfort the emotions of the victims, and also said some "glorious cases" of the choir, so that Xu Guangqi paid attention to cooperation, and also wrote to Xu Guangqi to deal with things like Wang Er.

"Yes, the slave and maid will go ......," Wang Chengen agreed.

"In addition, you can release the news that the palace is going to install glass windows, and it will probably cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver,...... In order to save time, it is best to drift down during the day, and at night, it is transported back upstream, striving for a round trip within a day, and transporting the victims at the fastest speed, the horse lantern declared to the outside world that Liulizhai donated 2,000 horse lanterns to Shaanxi in the name of disaster relief donations, specifically for those mules and horses to transfer rafts upstream at night......" Yang Reform suddenly remembered, in Xu Guangqi's letter, It is said that one day a day, the rapid transfer of the victims, drifting from one settlement point to the next settlement during the day, in the evening or at night, using mules, horses, wagons, and rafts to transport the rafts back upstream, and continuing to transport the victims during the day, without saying what lighting is used, Yang Reform is estimated to be a torch, and Yang Reform decided to go directly to the horse lantern.

Yang reform in the Liuli Zhai momentum, not only to promote the Liuli Zhai as a mountain of gold and silver, but also to promote a conscience, responsibility, kindness of the Liuli Zhai, in the future, when those businessmen turn over the altar, to the Liuli Zhai, is an excellent protection. What's more, this kind of windproof, waterproof, and not afraid of shaking horse lantern is really the best choice for transferring rafts at night.

Wang Chengen has heard countless orders this day, and this one is the most surprising.

Wang Chengen did not hesitate and said, "Obey, Your Majesty, the slave will do it." Wang Chengen agreed, took the secret box, and went to do something.

"Wait, also, Liulizhai took the lead in donating, let the country's ruler and them, let those imperial businessmen under my name, all pledge, one side is in trouble, all sides support, let them be a conscientious and responsible businessman,...... Well, it's to let those who take the initiative to pay taxes donate ......" Yang Gengai thought about it and commanded again.

Wang Chengen hadn't taken two steps before he heard the emperor's order, and promised again: "Obey, Your Majesty." ”

"Also, let Fan Weicheng blow the matter of Liulizhai taking the lead in donating in the Di newspaper, and let the names of the businessmen who donated this time be reported in the Di newspaper." Yang Reform ordered again, those salt merchants, big businessmen, Yang Reform hated it very much, let alone expected it, and now he has begun to deal with them.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed again, there are a lot of things that the emperor ordered today, Wang Chengen once again sorted out the things he wanted to do, and kept chattering in his heart, for fear of forgetting one thing the emperor ordered. ,

Wang Chengen went out on an errand, and Yang Reform quieted down alone. The mind is also ethereal, Shaanxi's affairs, I don't have to worry about it, Shaanxi is too far away, I want to remotely command Shaanxi's affairs, basically it's a pain in idleness. It's better to pay more attention to your money bag, if you have money, you can do whatever you want, and if you don't have money, you can't do anything. Nowadays, it is better to take the stock matter and operate it well. Yang Reform also calculated that when the businessmen from Jiangnan arranged by himself could go to the capital, at that time, it was a good time for the stock to sell, and now, the stock is still in the fermentation period and is still in the stage of building momentum.

……

In the past few days, the hot topic in the capital is nothing more than the matter of Shaanxi, all of them have a nose and an eye, after all, 10 million taels of silver to disaster relief, this matter, has never been, put it in that dynasty, it is definitely a hot topic, not to mention, now it is rumored that Shaanxi is in tandem with the people, they are all waiting for the latest news, to see how the affairs of Shaanxi will develop.

In this teahouse, a lot of people gathered, talking about today's newspaper and the latest news today.

"I said, is this raft reliable or not? It's not going to sink, is it? "This teahouse, because it has received a private visit from the emperor's microservice, is quite popular, and has gathered a lot of people, businessmen, landlords, and literati are waiting here for the rabbit, hoping to become the next lucky one.

"Brother Zhang, this is what you haven't seen, haven't you? A relative of mine is doing business in Shanxi and Shaanxi, this matter, I heard him mention it, he said that the Yellow River goes up, after Tongguan, the river is getting more and more difficult to walk, and it is difficult to boat, so the locals use sheepskin tires as boats, which is how many years old Huang Li, this time if the emperor can use this raft to save people, it is really right, the raft goes down, it is said that three or four hundred miles a day is no problem, so, the emperor said that this year to transport millions of victims out of Shaanxi, this thing is basically true...... There is absolutely no imaginary ......" This well-informed person immediately broke the news.

A person asked in disbelief: "Brother Ma, is this what you said reliable?" Millions of immigrants, how many sheep do you have to slaughter? Can the sheepskin raft really travel three or four hundred miles a day? ”

"Brother Ma is right, this thing is said to be true, listening to those lords of the next dynasty, the emperor saw the news, smiled from ear to ear, three or four hundred miles a day, it is absolutely reliable......, you think, go down the water, what kind of effort? This is still slow, if you are in the south, it is not unseen to travel thousands of miles a day...... don't you say? That is to say, as long as there are enough sheepskin rafts, let alone transporting millions, even if it is two million, it is not difficult to transport them out......" Another person also said, now, the whole capital is talking about this matter, those officials and old men, many of them are celebrating with crowns, and they have invited friends to celebrate this matter, so the matter of the sheepskin raft transporting the victims of the disaster has instantly spread throughout Beijing and has become the headline of Beijing.

Someone said: "That's, this thing, it depends on whether enough sheep can be slaughtered, tsk, millions of immigrants have to go out of Shaanxi on sheepskin rafts, have you heard of this before?" Visible? I, Zhang Laosan, have lived for so long, I can be regarded as having opened my eyes, and here in today's emperor, this person has not lived in vain......" Zhang Laosan, who opened his mouth to speak, said with emotion.

"That is, after seeing the emperor's handwriting, I also felt that it was an eye-opener, and it was really not in vain, this matter is also our Ming Dynasty, and it is here in today's Shengshang, it is possible to have ah, tsk, not simple, not simple......" Another person also sighed. In ancient times, information was not very dazed, and it was not easy to see all kinds of unusual things with your own eyes, and even if you wanted to hear about something, it was very difficult to see.

The person who broke the news just now said: "Hehe, what are you afraid of without sheep?" No matter how poor it is, won't a county be unable to find even 2,000 sheep? In that place in Shaanxi, how many sheep does that household not raise? Just a few shepherds, you can make up 2,000 sheep, besides, I heard that this time, the emperor is also going to find the Mongols to buy sheep, do you think, the Mongols are born to live by grazing, any tribe, that is not thousands, tens of thousands of livestock? You think, cut the sheepskin, down the Yellow River, just a few days, this matter only depends on who takes the silver, I heard, this time, it is the emperor's silver, 500,000 taels, hehe......",

Everyone was surprised, and they exclaimed very cooperatively, which made the person who broke the news feel a sense of pride.

Everyone was talking, but the children on the street were shouting: "The latest news, the latest news, Liulizhai donated 2,000 horse lanterns to Shaanxi, which are specially used to transport sheepskin rafts at night...... The latest news, Liulizhai donated 2,000 horse lanterns ......" The voice of the newsboy immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the teahouse.

The newsboy's voice moved a little farther away.

People in the teahouse discussed what was going on.

"I said, 'What is this lantern?' How did you donate the sheepskin raft to Shaanxi? Who has ever seen this thing? One person asked curiously.

"Horse lantern? Horse lantern? Since it's produced by Liulizhai, it's probably related to glass or something, I'm afraid it's a new thing from Liulizhai, listening to the name, I'm afraid it's a lamp that will be used right away......"

"Lights to use right away? How do you light the lights right away? Isn't the lamp oil spilled yet? ......" the crowd immediately asked.

However, basically no one has ever seen what the horse lantern looks like, and they can only guess out of thin air.

The entrance of Liulizhai.

With the news shouted by the newsboys, the more people are surrounding, and everyone is curious, what is new in this Liulizhai, which is actually specially donated to the raft of Shaanxi at night, is it, is there really a kind of lamp used on horses?

Sun Liniang is the emperor's woman, so she generally doesn't come out.

The shopkeepers and shopkeepers in the store were so busy that they were sweating profusely and kept explaining what a horse lantern was.

……

"Hehe, this guest officer, do you also want to see the horse lantern?" The shopkeeper warmly received another entry-level guest, and asked at the beginning if he was looking at the horse lantern, because, the people who came here today are ten out of ten people who are watching the horse lantern.

"Yes, I heard that there is a kind of lamp used on horses, I heard that it is very magical, it is produced by Liulizhai, so I came to take a look at ......, hehe, open your eyes......" A richly dressed person smiled and said, although he was talking to the shopkeeper, he also looked peaceful.

"Hehe, this guest officer, don't tell you, this horse lantern was originally a fresh object recently launched by our Liulizhai, but now, it has been donated to Shaanxi by our shopkeeper, I heard, it is specially used for transporting rafts at night over there, hehe, you also know the ......, now, in the store, there are some samples left, hehe, if the guest officer wants to see the sample, please come with the small one to ......" The shopkeeper immediately explained, from time to time the identity of his big shopkeeper was revealed a little, used to show his Liulizhai is different.

"That's, that's ......" The richly dressed man smiled and followed the shopkeeper to visit the horse lantern.
