Chapter 360: Wonders

The first year of Chongzhen.

In the middle of August, in Beijing, the matter of Liulizhai began to heat up. Lizhai "showed up" on various occasions one after another, which made Liulizhai's popularity burst again.

Zhang Guoji has been living a very nourishing life recently, and more and more people have come to him to buy "stocks", and his stocks, except for the 20,000 taels that he paid for himself, all the others were given to him by his daughter Empress Yi'an, that is to say, he has received nearly 100,000 taels of silver for nothing. He is absolutely convinced of the statement that Liulizhai is a golden mountain.

However, Zhang Guoji is also happy and painful now, happy because he got a lot of silver for nothing, pain because he has fewer and fewer stocks in his hands, and the stock price of this Liulizhai is getting higher and higher. Or wait a little longer, and wait for the stock to rise a little more?

Zhang Guoji is even more painful today, today, he sold a few more stocks, others gave the price of 1,200 taels per stock, he Zhang Guoji in addition to the 1,000 taels of stock silver itself, and got an extra 1,200 taels of silver, this kind of sitting at home, others send money to the door of the business, so that Zhang Guoji is addicted, should be happy, but it is also the reason for his pain, the stock in his hand is broken.

"Alas, madam, today, I have to go into the lying palace, you can take care of it more at home......" Zhang Guoji thought about it, and still felt that it was better to find his daughter to compare the price, and the income of nearly 100,000 taels of silver made Zhang Guoji's eyes red, his daughter has been the queen for many years, but it is impossible to take out 100,000 taels of silver at once with the silver in the family, and as a result, now the emperor, as soon as he rewarded him, gave Empress Yi'an, that is, his daughter's 100,000 taels of silver stocks, so that his family property increased all of a sudden.

"Why did you enter the palace again? Didn't you just enter the palace a few days ago? Didn't you ask your daughter for that stock again? Zhang Guoji's wife nagged.

"What do women know? I'm going, you're watching ...... at home" Zhang Guoji threw down a sentence and went out without looking back. Those people flattered and flattered him, it was because he had stocks in his hands, and he was not worth much anymore.

……

The continuous fermentation of Liulizhai, Yang Reform has been under control, including the donation of horse lanterns, including the popularization of science knowledge in Shangdi newspaper, including the renovation of the Forbidden City, etc., are all fermentation methods of Yang Reform.

Every time it ferments, this Liulizhai will be concerned once, and those who visit Liulizhai will have one more layer, so that the street of Liulizhai is difficult for carriages to enter, and it will soon become a pedestrian street, which shows the charm of Liulizhai.

Yang Reform calculated, Kuaima sent the news to the south, and then the merchants over there came to buy stocks, and the time was almost up. I have to add another fire to Liulizhai to make Liulizhai even more popular. Then, after those "businessmen" from the south began to buy stocks in large quantities, the stocks of Liulizhai would probably completely explode, and at that time, it was a good time to make money for themselves.

August 15. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival for the Chinese, and this year, because the emperor has an order, it will be lively, so the street is also full of lights, especially beautiful.

Originally, the activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival were carried out at night, what to admire the moon, set off fireworks, watch lanterns or something, even if the Mid-Autumn Festival with the participation of the emperor, it was mostly at night, but this time, the emperor asked everyone to come over during the day, the Mid-Autumn Festival program, the day will start, many ministers are confused.

In front of the Chengtian Gate, a lot of colorful sheds have been built, the emperor's highest and largest, the highest grade, on both sides are the ministers of civil and military affairs, the nobles.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already in the west, and the firepower of the sun was no longer very vicious.

Some officials were chatting, and many people found it strange for this special Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I said, in previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no such way? What is Your Majesty planning to do this year? It's still daylight, so let's enjoy the moon? This looks at the lanterns? Fireworks? A minister saw that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was very different from the past, and asked suspiciously.

"Lord Zhang, it is said that it is because His Majesty has received a lot of good news, so this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is deliberately more grand." An insider revealed gossip. ,

"Oh, what's that? Is that important? Can Master Li help us solve our doubts? I'm a lowly official, and I'm not very well-informed," the official surnamed Zhang asked after the gossip.

"Hehe, of course this is related to the affairs of Shaanxi, so far, there has been no major civil uprising in Shaanxi, Your Majesty must be in a good mood, do you need to say this? I heard that it is also related to the bandits in the southeast, it is said that the pirate leader is ready to recruit An, hehe, the southeast has also been pacified, Lord Zhang, you say, there are so many good things, can Your Majesty celebrate it? It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival again, so this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be different from previous years...... "This official surnamed Li is of a relatively high grade, knows a lot about some inside information, and begins to show off in front of people and reveal the news.

"Oh......, so it is, so it is, this is a good thing, it should be celebrated, it should be celebrated......" As soon as the officials heard that this was the reason, they immediately looked like they suddenly realized, what pirate leader in the southeast attacked the city and plundered the land, fought for more than a year, the local government was in a hurry, and he couldn't fight again, so he had to recruit An, but now he accepted Zhao'an, the bandits in the southeast have subsided, this is indeed a thing worth celebrating, besides, the matter of Shaanxi, it is now in mid-August, Shaanxi has not yet spread the news of a major civil uprising, there is no tens of thousands of people attacking the county, so, it can also be seen that the situation is under control, with these two news, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, it is indeed worth celebrating, many people are also open-minded, ready to accompany the emperor to spend a Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor is in a good mood......

The officials also chatted about the two news, and the atmosphere was happy.

"Lord Li, Xia Guan thinks that although these two things are indeed worth celebrating, this Mid-Autumn Festival shouldn't start during the day, right? It's only a little bit of an hour before it gets dark, what kind of moon are you looking at in the daylight? The official surnamed Zhang was reluctant to ask and inquire about gossip, and began to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival during the day, which was obviously a little different.

"Hehe, Lord Zhang, who knows, maybe Your Majesty has something new to show us, so I deliberately chose it during the day, take a closer look, look at it really, hehehe......" The official surnamed Li snorted haha......

The officials looked thoughtful again.

Yang Reform had been waiting for the coming of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after bathing, he saw that the hour was almost up, and then went to Chengtianmen.

The sun is nearly westerly, far less hot than a few days ago, not to mention that there has been a rain in the past two days, so, as soon as the sun is westward, the temperature has dropped a lot, Yang Reform hung a silk strip, see the silk strip is fluttering to the north, and the heart is settled a lot, today it seems that the sky is beautiful, blowing the southeast wind, and the hot air balloon can float from the south of the city to the north of the city.

"Big Companion, how are they preparing Li Tianjing?" Yang Reform asked Wang Chengen with a smile, today, Yang Reform is ready to open the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and is ready to open the eyes of hundreds of officials, and use new technology to impact the minds of these officials.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid just sent someone to ask, Lord Li, they said that everything is well prepared, and they promise that they will not miss Your Majesty's affairs today, so that Your Majesty can rest assured." Wang Chengen also replied with a smile, the matter of flying people into the sky with a hot air balloon can be said to be an unheard of miracle, and I believe it will definitely shock the world. This kind of thing has never happened before, but now, it has appeared in the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen, what does it mean? It shows that the Chongzhen Dynasty has auspicious fortune from heaven, with the help of God, and with the recognition of God, it can do things that people can't do, and can do things that people can't imagine, which is the direct embodiment of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's good, I look at the direction of the wind today, it's pretty good." Yang Reform said with a smile, impacting the thoughts and insights of the Ming Dynasty people and changing the world, Yang Reform has been doing.

"That's it, thanks to Your Majesty, the weather is pretty good today...... Wang Chengen also smiled back.

Carried by the little eunuchs, the chariot went all the way south, directly to the Chengtian Gate, where a lot of colorful sheds were built, which was the stage of today's "shocking the world".

When the ministers saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly paid homage for a while.

Yang Reform set up the score, swaggered, smiled and walked to the top of the color shed, sat down, and then said: "Let's be flat." ”

The civil and military officials, the noble royal family just got up and began to look for their position, and the Mid-Autumn Festival program is about to begin.

After the officials sat down, Yang Gai said with a smile: "Everyone, today, is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a rare good festival, and it happens to come to the southeast and northwest with good news, hehe, so I decided to take advantage of this festival to celebrate the monarchs and ministers together, and have a good time...... Yang Gai said a long speech. ,

The ministers had a lot of sycophants again, and this kind of Mid-Autumn Festival that came to the day in advance began, and the opening was a large section of dance, this kind of "glamorous sound" danced in broad daylight, which made everyone not interested at all. Although the dancing singers shook their white thighs and waists very hard, it was a pity that in this broad daylight, there was any "evil thought" that evaporated to the sun, and the ministers looked bored, without any feeling of watching this kind of song and dance at night, and many ministers had a disgusted expression.

However, the emperor watched it with relish.

Yang Reform peeled the crab and ate it with relish, it stands to reason that as the emperor, he should not do it himself, someone should serve him, but Yang Reform is good at this hand, took eight crabs that ate crabs, and ate them happily. Eating crabs while enjoying singing and dancing can be described as a focused enjoyment.

The ministers have a little opinion on the emperor, eating crabs in broad daylight, but there is no artistic conception of the Mid-Autumn Festival at all, and it is still in broad daylight, and there is no way to admire the moon, which is ...... I don't know if the emperor is singing it.

Just when the ministers were upset.

There was a thunderous shout from the south.

The ministers were shocked, and the guards were even more nervous, some of them had already put their hands on the handle of their knives, ready to draw their knives at any moment.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the outer city in the south seems to be very noisy, it seems that something has happened, Your Majesty, let's stay away, wait until the situation is clear, and then talk about ......, or retreat to the noon gate first?" Your Majesty......" Shi Fenglai looked horrified, and hurriedly rushed to the emperor and persuaded the emperor to leave quickly. Because this sound is really terrifying, as if tens of thousands of people are collectively shouting, if there is anything to do, it must be a big thing. Shi Fenglai is a popular uprising, and after hearing too much news of the rebellion, the first thing that comes to mind is whether it will be a popular uprising? Could it be that someone is rebelling? Shi Fenglai was afraid that something would happen to the emperor.

Yang Gaiai didn't answer immediately, but finished eating a crab before he said casually: "What's the fuss about?" This is the capital, and this is the imperial city, what else can happen? Isn't there just someone making a noise? I have to retreat to the noon gate? I haven't been so pampered yet...... Fang Hongzan, send someone to see what's going on. Yang Reform said casually without fear at all, and sent people to see what was going on, in fact, he also knew that it was Li Tianjing's hot air balloon that took off, so people saw this thing floating in the sky, and there were people on it, which would definitely cause people to panic, and it was understandable to exclaim, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, many people are on the street to celebrate the festival, so it is also predictable that many people shout together.

Fang Hongzan immediately agreed, and said, "Obey, Your Majesty, the minister will immediately send someone to check." Fang Hongzan was not too surprised, he had followed the emperor for many days, and he also knew some things, so he calmly agreed, and sent someone to check.

After instructing Jinyiwei, Yang Reform said calmly: "Hehe, Shi Shoufu, eat crabs, eat crabs, this crab is more delicious to eat today, after today, this crab, it's not delicious, isn't it?" Shi Shoufu? Hehe......" After speaking, Yang Gengai picked up a crab leg, dipped it in some wine, and ate it by himself.

The emperor and the first assistant talked about things with laughter, and the ministers kept staring, the emperor's calmness, which made the ministers, nobles, and officials present a lot more stable, the emperor was not in a hurry, what are we anxious about, the emperor is so calm, what are we panicking about? Doesn't the emperor cherish his own life?

The scene was quickly controlled, the crowd calmed down, and the guards around the emperor relaxed a lot, and many of the hands that were put on the handle of the knife were put back again.

However, the shouts in the distance, is wave after wave of hitting, many people, looking at the south, from this Chengtianmen, at most to Zhengyangmen, but this sound, obviously from the outer city outside Zhengyangmen, many people, all thought that there was a rebellion, suddenly attacked the capital, panicked, looked at the direction of Zhengyangmen, I hope someone can report what the specific news is, if the emperor pretends to be calm, then he will have to be buried here with the emperor.......

"Wow...... Buzz ......" wave after wave of exclamations spread closer and closer.

Yang Gengai ate a few crabs and looked at the Zhengyangmen in the distance, as if he was also waiting for something.

"Report ......, the sky is a flyer, the sky is a flyer......" a fast horse galloped over, shouting as he ran. ,

As soon as the fast horse shouted, the crowd was even more surprised, and many people in a panic stood up and looked at Zhengyangmen in horror, wanting to see with their own eyes how people flew in the sky.

"Report to the ......, Your Majesty, outside the Zhengyang Gate, the flying man is ,...... Someone is flying in the sky...... "This knight is probably the first time to see a person flying in the sky, so he can't speak in words.

The courtiers looked at the emperor in horror. Many people can't hold on any longer, their eyes are panicked, ready to leave at any time, their lives are still more important, can they not be buried with this emperor, this kind of thing can happen to flying people in the sky, what will happen next, who knows?

Among the guards around the emperor, many of them put their hands on the hilt of their swords, preparing to make any move, and immediately drew their swords to maintain order.

Yang Gengai sucked the juice in the crab leg and felt that it was clean, so he still dropped the crab leg very comfortably, drank a small sip of rice wine, wiped his mouth and hands with a hand towel, and then pressed his hands weakly.

The ministers habitually quieted down, and the emperor pressed his two hands, indicating that the emperor was about to speak, and the ministers calmed down a lot, and the sky fell, and the emperor sat taller than them.

"This, it's okay, everyone sit down and enjoy it, this is also the reason why I let everyone come to the Mid-Autumn Festival during the day today, hehe, I did find a way for people to fly in the sky, hehe, everyone, you can see how the real people are in the sky in a while...... this kind of wonder in history, you are all witnesses, don't miss it...... Yang Gai explained with a smile.

As soon as everyone heard it, the emperor got it, no wonder the emperor was so relaxed, and then think about what the emperor said, people can fly in the sky, doesn't that mean that in the future, everyone can fly in the sky? Can you live the addiction of immortals? Many people's panicked emotions are gone, and their curiosity comes again, and they all look towards Zhengyangmen.

It's really eye-catching.

Yang Gai's eyesight was excellent, and he could see from a distance that something seemed to rise from the Zhengyang Gate. So, I immediately took out the binoculars, stretched the tube of the lens, and began to look at it.

As soon as the ministers saw the emperor holding a telescope and looking at Zhengyangmen, "That thing that can fly." They all picked up the telescope on their desk and followed it, originally thinking that this telescope was used to admire the moon, but who knows, it was actually used to see the "flying man".

Chengtianmen, a water telescope, long, short, all look towards Zhengyangmen, the scene is very spectacular.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, a ball-like thing was slowly rising, slowly passing the Zhengyang Gate and flying towards the Chengtian Gate.

The crowd on the ground is constantly gathering, constantly squeezing towards the middle of Beijing City, constantly emitting the amazement of "Oh ......, Oh ......, Oh ......", and the whole Beijing City is attracted by this rare spectacle in the ages.

Yang Gengai watched with a telescope for a while, and smiled, on this hot air balloon, it was written "Liulizhai".

Thinking about today's incident, the name of Liulizhai is completely recorded in the history of mankind, and after thinking about today, Liulizhai wants to say that it is not difficult to sell a mere 10 million taels of silver.
