"Do you know who is the most famous in our profession of newspaper interpretation?" the storyteller asked with a smile, twirling his gray beard. The atmosphere in the teahouse was not bad, and people immediately came back.

"Your profession didn't exist before. It only started this year. Who knew!"

"Haha, you don't know, so I will tell you." The old man replied with a smile, "To say that the most famous one is Song Xiance, who is known as Xiao Ge Lao. He was a wandering Taoist priest at the beginning.

At that time, I was traveling to Baoding, Hebei Province, and happened to be dragged by the head of the Liu family to read a newspaper. After some exchanges, the head of the Liu family was instantly persuaded and spent all his wealth to buy a batch of goods to Zhangjiakou. Subsequently, eight families in Zhangjiakou were investigated and punished.

The family will take advantage of the opportunity to fill the position."

"In this way, a good story has been achieved, and our business of interpreting newspapers can be considered to be truly prosperous." The old man said interestingly, which made the businessmen listen attentively. They had also heard of this deed, but not like this.

Details. It is precisely because of the Liu family's luck that they favor people who can interpret newspapers.

"Song Xiance can be said to be the founder of this industry. He once said that you should read newspapers in succession, and the news in each newspaper should be read comprehensively." The old man shook the newspaper in his hand and said, "Everyone, please

Look, in this issue of the newspaper, apart from the news announced, there are some small news, such as the transfer of some officials, the downgrading of the governor's grade again, and some others."

The old man was spitting as he spoke, and the people below were listening attentively. Zhu Youxiao also had a look on his face as he looked at everything around him. He imported the newspaper by himself, as did the entire Ming Dynasty and the various branches of the Imperial Daily.

Under his leadership, it was slowly established.

However, he never expected that after newspapers usurped the dominance of literati over public opinion, they would develop like this and start an industry that interprets newspaper policies. It was an incredible change.

In addition to him, other businessmen, including the queen, the two concubines, and servants such as Liu Ruoyu, also wanted to hear what advice this old man who seemed to be somewhat bookish had.

"You gentlemen, you should know the article on class written by Master Wang Dao." The old man asked, "This article created a lot of momentum before His Majesty came back and attracted countless people's attention."

"I know!" The businessmen who were nearby nodded secretly. The new theory of the four people has caused countless people to argue. Of course they have also had it. Businessmen have been classified into the same class. Moreover, the murderous language has made countless people's hearts tremble.

Surprised, so are the merchants. Now the emperor is dealing with the landlords. When the landlords are finished, he will have to deal with the merchants.

Nowadays, the collection of commercial taxes is not going very smoothly. The cabinet is so poor that it is almost impossible to open the door. Even building roads requires the emperor to pay for it.

"Now that all the guests know it, it is not difficult to understand the true purpose of His Majesty the Holy Emperor in launching this road construction plan." The old man concluded.

This made the businessmen feel dizzy. How can I understand this? I still don’t understand anything. Some businessmen even took out the newspaper of the day and compared it with today’s newspaper, but they couldn’t understand it.

Haven't found anything yet.

"Haha, gentlemen, don't be impatient. Let me explain. Before His Majesty returned to the country, he laid the groundwork for the class theory and made a great deal of noise, which shocked people. He was afraid that His Majesty the Holy Emperor would come back and start a killing spree. However, since His Majesty carried the

It has been more than half a month since the army returned in triumph. The Xiliu Army has been brought back, and the Hussars have also entered Shanhaiguan. However, His Majesty, who has returned with a great victory, has made no move, which makes people suspicious. "

"Today, when I read this newspaper, the old man's first reaction was that His Majesty has come up with a trick." The old man sighed in admiration, "Thirty million taels of trick is really a generous move!"

Since the rise of newspapers, Zhu Youxiao has taken the lead in public opinion. Naturally, the publicity tends to be in his own favor, especially the matter of equal distribution of land. He has to report every bit of progress in the newspaper, and he has encountered many obstacles.

Yes, so anyone who likes to read newspapers will have a clearer understanding of the current process of land reform.

All of this was done under the watchful eye of Zhu Youxiao. Naturally, he was not afraid of any mythical beasts. He would say whatever he said and how spicy he would be. He would criticize those who secretly stopped him as worthless and expose all their secret thoughts.

Two pure.

And these are all reported in front of the people through newspapers, giving them a more comprehensive understanding of the government. Since the emergence of newspapers, many people in the Ming Dynasty have an understanding of the political situation and know what is going against them.

.At least, now they can call out the names of the eight pavilion elders.

"Is this His Majesty's method?" The businessmen present lowered their heads one after another, looking at the newspapers in front of them and searching inside. In just a moment, there was a newspaper on every table, and all of them were waiters.

Went to buy it.

As they watched, their eyes were fixed on the last request - to donate their land. Just now, their attention was absorbed by the 30 million taels, and they did not pay attention to this last prerequisite. Now someone is calling their names.

, these people can do business, and they are not stupid, so they can quickly connect with each other.

"This is decomposition and disintegration!" A businessman exclaimed, "It's really a big deal to use thirty million taels to decompose and disintegrate!" After admiring, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked a little depressed, "Well, we don't have

Aren’t land merchants not allowed to participate in the auction? They must have a land donation certificate from the local government before they can participate."

As soon as these words came out, other people's faces froze. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is what happened, especially when the old man who just told the story said that this was His Majesty's means of counterattack, their faces became even more ugly. This was His Majesty's attempt to win over those with rich families.

They are the means of rich local people, not just to give money to traffickers and lackeys like them.

For a time, the whole hall on the first floor was filled with the sound of frustration, and the whole room was quiet. There was no longer the excitement that I had just heard about the investment of 30 million taels of silver. I couldn't eat it, and the meat was useless in terms of fatness.

"This group of unscrupulous businessmen." In the private room where rewards were frequently given to storytellers, a middle-aged man looked at the businessmen below with disdain, "No wonder the article by Master of the King's Way said that people must not be allowed to

Merchants are in power, otherwise the entire Ming Dynasty will be sold to them."

"Father, this is the emperor's method. Do we want to participate? This is thirty million taels. As long as we can become a supplier of raw materials, then this money..." Next to him, there was a young man who was somewhat similar to him.

Said, his eyes were shining with the light of silver.

"Don't worry, let's listen to what this old man said. I didn't expect that there are a few brushes in this house. I can see something. It's not in vain that I spent all the time to find this place." The middle-aged man nodded his chin towards the first floor.

.

The two of them became quiet and planned to listen to what was going on.

In the hall on the first floor, mourners are everywhere. Anyone who sees a piece of fat meat placed in front of him but can't eat it is like this. What's more, thirty million taels of silver, this is not a piece of fat meat, but a whole piece of meat.

A fat pig.

Suddenly, a businessman stood up holding the newspaper with some excitement and asked loudly, "Sir, please read the article again. Does it say any restrictions on auctions? It is only for cement quota auctions that land must be donated.

Or is it true that all supplies require the provision of materials?”

The businessman's words, like the cockcrow in the early morning, brought life to the businessmen in the entire hall. They immediately realized that, yes, road building requires not only cement, but also other things, such as tools and road paving.

Stones, cement, sand, pebbles and the like.

Besides, with so many workers gathering, eating is also a problem. Should the food supply also restrict auctions?

All the businessmen had a heated discussion. They all read the article carefully, but it did not say anything about the auction of cement technology quotas, and the prerequisite was to donate land. As for the supply of other materials, it did not say anything.

"What do you think, sir?" Many people asked.

The old man was also a little troubled. He scratched his beard and said, "This little old man can't confirm it. Anyway, the daily newspaper didn't say it."

"Oh, why didn't I think of it? These can also be auctioned!" Zhu Youxiao slapped his head, "Isn't this the money for road construction?" However, in the blink of an eye, he felt that something was wrong. The cement was hanging on it anyway.

It can only be auctioned in the name of technology transfer, but other auxiliary materials must be purchased. It is not good to impose quota restrictions on this kind of thing.

Moreover, the cabinet went out to sell these quotas. This is just like using money to sell fame, and the impact is very bad.

"Forget it, I have no choice but to give up." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and for the sake of the credibility of the cabinet, he could only give up the idea heartbrokenly, "However, we still have to add the restriction of donating land, well, there is also the restriction of donating land.

No matter how much land you have, anything less than this standard will be useless, and anything more than this standard must be dedicated."

"However, according to the little old man's estimate, it must be all. Only by donating land to the government can you participate in this cooperation. This is His Majesty's counterattack tactic. How can someone take advantage of it for nothing?" the old storyteller added.

.

This sentence once again made those businessmen feel overwhelmed.

However, some people's thoughts change quickly. Since there is no land in their name, then just buy it. If you buy the land, you will have it. As long as you participate in this business, you will earn back the money you paid for the land. Maybe

You can also register with the government and leave a good reputation.

This was in response to the emperor's call.

Some businessmen's eyes are rolling, and when others are distressed, they quietly come out.

"Thank you very much for your support. Today's explanation ends here." Seeing that the scene was deserted, people gradually dispersed, and the old man left without staying much.

"Let's go shopping." Zhu Youxiao stretched out. He gained a lot this time.

"Okay, sir." When they heard that they could go shopping, several women were extremely excited, even the always dignified Zhang Yan.

Afterwards, the group of people left the teahouse.
Chapter completed!
