Chapter 358 Wonders
The first year of Chongzhen.

In mid-August, things about Liulizhai began to heat up in Beijing.Lizhai "showed his face" on various occasions one after another, which made Liulizhai's popularity explode again.

Zhang Guoji has been living a very prosperous life recently. More and more people are buying "stocks" from him. Except for the 10 taels that he paid for himself, all other stocks are given to him by his daughter, Empress Yi'an. Yes, that is to say, he has already won nearly [-] taels of silver for nothing.He absolutely believed in the statement that Liulizhai was a golden mountain.

However, Zhang Guoji is also happy and suffering now. The happiness is because he has gained a lot of money for nothing, and the pain is because he has fewer and fewer stocks. The stock price of Liulizhai is getting higher and higher. Zhang Guoji is very painful. After all Is it sold for cash?Or wait a little longer and wait for the stock to rise a little more?
Zhang Guoji is in more pain today. Today, he sold a few more stocks. Others gave each stock a price of 200 taels. In addition to the 1000 taels of stock silver itself, Zhang Guoji got another 2000 taels for nothing. Yinzi, this kind of business of sitting at home and others sending money to the door, made Zhang Guoji addicted. He should be happy because of this, but it was also the reason for his pain. The stocks in his hand stopped.

"Hey, ma'am! Today, I have to go to the palace, so you can take care of me at home..." Zhang Guoji thought about it, and still felt that it would be better to find his daughter for a little bit more. The nearly 10 taels of silver made Zhang Guoji popular. At a glance, his daughter has been a queen for many years, but it is impossible to take out 10 taels of money in the family at once. As a result, now the emperor, as soon as he rewards, gives it to Queen Yi'an, who is him His daughter's stock of 10 taels of silver made his family property soar.

"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 can watch at home..." Zhang Guoji left without looking back.When he bought stocks in his hand, he felt uneasy. Those people flattered and flattered him because he had stocks in his hands, and he was not worth much when he didn't have stocks. A place where there are as many nobles as dogs is not very valuable.

……

Yang Reform has been manipulating the continuous fermentation of Liulizhai, including donating horse lanterns, reporting popular science knowledge to the mansion, and renovating the Forbidden City, etc., are all fermentation methods of Yang Reform.

Every time it is fermented, this Liulizhai will attract attention once, and those who visit Liulizhai will have one more floor, so that it is difficult for carriages to enter the street of Liulizhai, and it will soon become a pedestrian street. You can see that Liuli The charm of fasting.

Yang Reform figured that he would send the news to the south quickly, and then Zhang Luo businessmen would come over there to buy stocks, and the time was almost up.I have to add fire to Liulizhai to make Liulizhai even more popular.Then, after those "businessmen" from the south start to buy stocks in large quantities, the stocks in Liulizhai will probably explode completely. At that time, it will be a good time for them to raise money.

August fifteenth.The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. This year, because of the emperor's order, it should be more lively. Therefore, the streets are also decorated with lanterns and festoons, which are extraordinarily beautiful.

Originally, the activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival were all held at night, so what admiring the moon!Let off fireworks!Watching lanterns, even the Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor participating, is mostly at night, but this time, the emperor asked everyone to come during the day. The Mid-Autumn Festival program will start during the day, and many ministers are confused.

In front of Chengtian Gate, many colorful sheds have been set up. The emperor's is the tallest and the largest, with the highest grade, and on both sides are the civil and military ministers and nobles.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already westward, and the sun's firepower was no longer very vicious. Many ministers came to the color shed to celebrate this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

Some officials were chatting, and many people felt strange about this special Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

"My lords, let me tell you, there is no such way to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years? How does Your Majesty plan to celebrate this year? It's still broad daylight, so why not enjoy the moon? Just watch lanterns? Set off fireworks?" a minister said. Seeing that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is very different from the past, I asked in doubt.

"Master Zhang, it is said that because His Majesty has received a lot of good news, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is deliberately grand." A person in the know revealed gossip.

"Oh, what's that? It's so important? Master Li, can you explain it to us? I'm a lowly official, so I don't know much about it!" The official surnamed Zhang asked gossip.

"Hehe, this is of course 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. Needless to say? I heard that it is also related to the banditry in the southeast. It is said that the pirate leader Ready to recruit, hehe, the southeast is also calmed down, Mr. Zhang, tell me, there are so many good things, can your majesty celebrate it? It just happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be different from previous years..." This The official surnamed Li was relatively high-ranking, and he knew a lot about some inside information, so he began to show off in front of people and reveal the information.

"Oh... so it is so, so it is so, this is a good thing, it should be celebrated, it should be celebrated..." When the officials heard that it was the reason, they suddenly realized that the pirate leader in the southeast was attacking the city, After fighting for more than a year, the local government was overwhelmed and couldn't fight again, so they had to call for peace. Fortunately, he has accepted the call for peace. The banditry in the southeast has subsided. This is indeed something worth celebrating. Besides, the matter of Shaanxi, It is now mid-August, and there is no news of a major civil uprising in Shaanxi, and there is no such thing as tens of thousands of people attacking the county seat. Therefore, it can also be regarded as the situation under control. With these two news, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, indeed It is worthy of joy, it is indeed worthy of celebration, many people are also relaxed, ready to spend a Mid-Autumn Festival with the emperor, the emperor is probably in a good mood...

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

"Lord Li, I feel that although these two events are indeed worthy of celebration, the Mid-Autumn Festival shouldn't start during the day, right? What moon are you looking at?" The official surnamed Zhang followed up and asked reluctantly, asking for gossip, and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival during the day, which was obviously a little different.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, who knows, maybe His Majesty has something new to show us, so I specially chose it during the daytime, so I can see it carefully and clearly, hehehe..." The official surnamed Li called haha...

The officials looked thoughtful again.

Yang Reform had been waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time. After bathing, he checked that the time was about the same before going to Chengtianmen.

The sun is almost to the west, far less hot than the previous days, not to mention that there has been a rain in the past two days, so when the sun is to the west, the temperature drops a lot. The bar is flying to the north, and I feel a lot more at ease. Today it seems that the weather is beautiful, the southeast wind is blowing, and it will take a while for the hot air balloon to float from the south of the city to the north of the city.

"Big companion, how are Li Tianjing and the others preparing?" Yang Reform asked Wang Chengen with a smile. Today, Yang Reform is going to open the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, open the eyes of all officials, and use new technology to shock the minds of these officials.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have just sent someone to ask about it. Master Li and the others said that everything is well prepared, and they promise that they will not miss His Majesty's business today, so you can rest assured." Wang Chengen also replied with a smile, using a hot air balloon to carry people The matter of flying into the sky can be said to be a miracle that has never been heard before, 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 had auspiciousness from heaven, with the help and approval of heaven, and could do things that the predecessors could not do, and things that people could not imagine. This is the direct embodiment of the Ming Dynasty.

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

"That is, thanks to His Majesty, the weather is quite good today..." Wang Chengen returned with a smile.

Carried by the little eunuchs, the chariot traveled all the way south, directly to Chengtian Gate, where many colorful sheds were set up, which is the stage of today's "shocking the world".

When the officials saw the emperor coming, they paid homage in a hurry.

Yang Reform put on a good show, swayed, walked to the highest point of the shed with a smile, sat down, and then said: "Let's all get flat."

Civil and military officials, nobles and royal families just got up and began to look for their own positions, and the Mid-Autumn Festival program was about to begin.

After all the officials sat down, Yang Reform said with a smile: "Everyone, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a rare and good festival, and it coincides with good news from the southeast and northwest, haha, so I decided to borrow With this festive season, the monarch and his ministers will celebrate together and have a good time..." Yang Reform made a long speech.

The ministers paid a lot of flattery again. This kind of Mid-Autumn Festival, which was celebrated in advance of the day, started like this. The opening was a long dance, this kind of "decadent music" danced in broad daylight, It made everyone not interested at all.Although the dancing singers tried their best to shake their white thighs for their waists, it is a pity that in the broad daylight, any "evil thoughts" were evaporated by the sun, and the ministers saw it as dull, and there was no night. Seeing this kind of singing and dancing, many ministers even looked disgusted.

However, the emperor watched with relish.

Yang Reform peeled and ate crabs with relish. It stands to reason that as an emperor, he should not do it himself, but should be served by someone.Eating crabs while enjoying singing and dancing can be described as a concentrated enjoyment.

The ministers have some opinions on the emperor, eating crabs in broad daylight, but there is no mood for Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is still in broad daylight, and there is no way to enjoy the moon. This... I don’t know what the emperor sang.

Just when the officials were upset.

There was a thunderous cry from the south.

The ministers were shocked, and the guards were even more nervous. Some of them had already put their hands on the handles of their knives and were always ready to draw them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the outer city to the south seems to be very noisy. It seems that something has happened. Your Majesty, you should avoid it until you understand the situation... Or, retreat to the Meridian Gate first? Your Majesty..." Shi Fenglai With a look of horror on his face, he rushed to the emperor and persuaded him to leave quickly.Because this burst of sound was really frightening, as if tens of thousands of people shouted collectively, if something happened to it, it would definitely be a big deal.Shi Fenglai was a civil uprising, and after hearing too much news about the rebellion, the first thing he thought of was whether it was a civil uprising?Could it be that someone rebelled?Shi Fenglai was afraid that something might happen to the emperor.

Yang Reform didn't answer right away, but after eating a crab, he casually said, "What's the fuss? This is the capital, and this is the imperial city. What else can happen? Isn't it just someone making noise? I have to retreat to the Meridian Gate? I haven’t been so spoiled yet... Fang Hongzan, send someone to see what’s going on.” Yang Reform said casually without fear at all, and even sent someone to see What's going on, I actually know it, guess, it's Li Tianjing's hot air balloon that took off, so when people see this thing floating in the sky, there are people on it, it will definitely cause people to panic, and it's OK to turn to exclaim I understand, many people took to the streets to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival today, so it is foreseeable that there will be more people shouting together.

Fang Hongzan immediately agreed, saying: "As ordered, Your Majesty, I will send someone to check immediately." Fang Hongzan was not too surprised. He had been with the emperor for many days, and he knew some things, so he calmly agreed. I went to send someone to check.

After ordering Jin Yiwei, Yang Reform said calmly again: "Hehe, Shi Shoufu, eat crabs, eat crabs, this crab tastes better today, after today, this crab, it won't taste good, isn't it Shi Shoufu? Hehe..." After speaking, Yang Reform picked up a crab leg, dipped it in some wine, and ate it on his own.

The emperor and the chief assistant were chatting and laughing, and the ministers kept staring at them. The emperor's calmness made the ministers present, nobles and officials, calm down a lot. The emperor was not in a hurry, we were in a hurry What, the emperor is so calm, why should we panic?Doesn't the emperor cherish his own life?

The scene was quickly brought under control, the crowd settled 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.

However, the shouts in the distance came one after another. Many officials in the group looked at the south eagerly. From Chengtianmen, they could see Zhengyangmen at most, but the voice was obviously Zhengyang It was sent from the outer city outside the gate. Many people thought that there was a rebellion somewhere, and they suddenly attacked the capital. They were terrified. They looked in the direction of Zhengyangmen anxiously, hoping that someone could report the specific news. It was the emperor who pretended to be calm, so he would have to be buried here with the emperor...

"Wow... um..." Wave after wave of exclamation came closer and closer.

Yang Reform ate a few crabs, looked at the Zhengyang Gate in the distance, and seemed to be waiting for something.

"Report..., there is a flying man in the sky, there is a flying man in the sky..." A fast horse came galloping, shouting as he ran.

When the fast horse shouted, the crowd was even more surprised and panicked!Many people stood up regardless of decency, and looked towards Zhengyangmen in horror, wanting to witness for themselves how people fly in the sky.

"Report..., Your Majesty, outside the Zhengyang Gate, there is a flying person...someone is flying in the sky..." This knight probably saw the sight of a person flying in the sky for the first time, so his words were not expressive.

The officials looked at the emperor in horror.Many people couldn't hold on any longer, their eyes panicked, and they were ready to leave at any time. Their own lives were more important, and they couldn't be buried with the emperor. Things like flying people in the sky could happen. Who knows what will happen next?
Many of the guards around the emperor put their hands on the handles of their knives, ready to draw their knives to maintain order if there was any movement.

Yang Reform sucked the gravy from the crab legs and felt that it was clean, so he dropped the crab legs comfortably, drank another sip of rice wine, wiped his mouth and hands with a towel, and then pressed his hands.

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

"Well, it's okay, everyone just sit down and enjoy it. This is why I let everyone come to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival today. Hehe, I have indeed found a way for people to fly in the sky. Hehe, everyone, you can see the real thing later. How did people live in the sky..., this historical spectacle, you are all witnesses, don't miss it..." Yang Reform explained with a smile.

Everyone heard that the emperor did it, no wonder the emperor was so relaxed and at ease. Thinking 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 a fairy addiction?Many people's panic was gone, and curiosity came again, and they all looked towards Zhengyangmen.

Really want to see through.

Yang Reform had excellent eyesight, and he could see something rising from the Zhengyang Gate from a distance.So, I immediately took out the binoculars, stretched the lens barrel, and began to wait and see.

When the ministers saw the emperor looking at the "thing that can fly people" at Zhengyangmen with a telescope, they followed suit one after another, picked up the telescope on their desks, and followed them. They thought the telescope was for viewing the moon. , Who knows, it turned out to be used to watch "Flying Man".

Chengtianmen, Yishui telescopes, long and short, all looked towards Zhengyangmen, and the scene was very spectacular.

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

The crowds on the ground kept gathering and crowded towards the center of Beijing city, constantly making surprise sounds of "Oh..., oh..., oh...". The spectacle was attracted.

Yang Reform watched it with a telescope for a while, and then smiled. On the hot air balloon, "Liulizhai" was written.

After today's incident, the name of Liulizhai is completely recorded in the annals of human history. After today, it should not be difficult for Liulizhai to sell for a mere ten million taels of silver.
