Chapter 839 War Bonds
As the scandal in the Western Xia became more and more intense, Li Yuanhao was also discredited. It was indeed unexpected that a hero who founded a country and became emperor bears a bad reputation, but the direction of public opinion has obviously been dominated by scholars who have been engraved in Confucianism.
But at this time, the Song Dynasty did not make any abnormal movements, and even the cavalry that harassed Xixia in the past was greatly reduced, which made the world guess that this was to respect the mourning of Xixia. Of course, this was impossible. In Zhao Zhen's eyes, a foolish tyrant like Li Yuanhao deserves such a way of death. Now the Song Dynasty is not moving, actually playing a bigger game of chess.
In Beijing City, Peking Prefecture, this Song Dynasty political, cultural and economic center has had an unprecedented exhibition. The urbanization of the Song Dynasty began to appear as early as the Zhenzong period. As the national strength became stronger and stronger, the urbanization of the Song Dynasty has been promoted faster, which is an inevitable stage of historical exhibition.
Today, Beijing is more prosperous and noisy than Tokyo, but the morning still follows the original rhythm of life of the Song people, and it has not become any different because of the busy work. Life is getting better and better, making people seize the time of the morning and relax for a rare time before entering the busy day.
The vendors who buy noodle soup are still walking around the streets. The hot noodle soup in winter is the most popular, but unlike in Tokyo, the noodle soup is not carried in the insulation Datong, but is pushed by a wooden cart. Below is a small stove with flames that are not big or small. The bucket of the noodle soup is replaced with a metal base, so that the water in the bucket can be kept hot. The reason for this is that Beijing is much larger than Tokyo...
Of course, not everyone likes to wash at home. Similarly, some morning tea shops also provide hot noodle soup service, but the price is a little more expensive than the vendors, but it is really convenient. After getting up, I walked into the morning tea shop in a daze, ordered what I like to eat, and took the time to wait and put a hot pot of hot water and hot towel on the noodles. This is the most comfortable in winter mornings.
Several people who met gathered together to talk about things, or talk about the imperial court, or discuss the scandal of Li Yuanhao in the Western Xia. After eating Qibao Wuwei Porridge, they took a comfortable rest for a while and prepared to do their jobs. This time was the best time to talk.
"Have you heard it? The court is going to sell land!"
"Sell land? What land? Our Beiping Prefecture is worth a thousand gold, so the court can bear to sell it? Hou San, where did you get the news? Could it be that someone has cheated?"
The disdainful smile on the side made Hou Sanda angry: "You bird man, I kindly tell you, if you don't believe it, my Erlang is a worker at the home of a senior official in the court. How can I not know this news? I will come down in a few days. I will see what else you have to say when the time comes! Besides, who said that the land sold is from our Peiping Prefecture? It can't be from other places, such as Xixia?"
The land of Xixia? As Hou San said, everyone was surprised, and many people began to shout: "This is a new article, please listen to it!"
Hou San smiled and said, "Actually, it's simple. The local people did not grow food in the Xixia land, but instead shed sheep and sheep wool. The land was either abandoned or wasted. Since the imperial army occupied these lands, they naturally had to use them, so they started selling it!"
"How can this make it happen? In the past, wasn't anyone who reclaimed much wasteland? Why did the court still sell it? Is it cost money now? The officials are so kind and righteous, and they will never do this!" Zhao, the helper, tidying up the table quickly and said disbelief.
Hou San rushed up and said, "Hehe! You don't know this! The land in Xixia is not an ordinary place! My Erlang said that it is called Hetao. It has been fertile fertile fields since ancient times. The Yellow River that flooded in the past is very gentle. You can pinch out a handful of oil if you grab a handful of soil! Such good land is rare in the world. Do you know why the imperial court bought the land? Because as long as you buy these lands for more than ten acres, the imperial court will give the good seeds, saying that they were brought back from the other side of the East China Sea, and the yield per mu is so high!"
Zhou Tai, the owner of the wooden warehouse, laughed and said, "You are hysterical, right? No matter how good the land is, it is in Xixia. To put it bluntly, if there is a mistake, wouldn't it be a waste of water? After all, our roots are in Beijing!"
Zhou Tai's words made many people agree. What land should I buy in Xixia when my home is in Beijing? Even if I buy it, who will farm?
But Hou San showed a sly smile and said, "You must know that these wastelands are all from the court, and they must have land deeds to be sold. If we buy land deeds, will no one be able to sell them? If the imperial army destroys Xixia in the future, whose land will be?"
Everyone was reminded by his words, yes, these lands are now wasteland and need to be reclaimed to plant food. If you buy them now and wait for the army to win, the prices of these lands will definitely soar, and you will definitely make a profit by time!
Zhou Tai deserves to be the shopkeeper for many years. He instantly understood what Hou San meant and stepped forward and bowed: "Brother Hou, is the news of this matter reliable? If possible, I am willing to invest in the purchase!"
With Zhou Tai's words, the whole shop exploded, and even the shopkeeper of the morning tea shop was clamoring to sell these wastelands. Zhou Tai waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Speak quietly! Not everyone knows this. If you spread it, some people with great powers will inevitably know it. By the time, they will be subscribed by merchants, so we can't even drink the soup!"
Everyone finally calmed down, but they were all thinking about their own ways to see if they could ask someone to buy these land first. But there is no strong force in the world that is not airtight. Soon when these people came to factories or business names, they found out, and everyone was talking about topics related to the land of Xixia...
Since there are many people buying land, the land becomes more precious. Who doesn’t want that handful of land that can produce oil, and who doesn’t want the good seeds rewarded by the court? Although the food prices in the Song Dynasty have not increased much in the past two years, they are much higher than before. As long as there is a large area of land and enough grain is produced, it can make a lot of money in less than two years.
Or sell these lands to locals at high prices, so that they can also gain considerable returns. So the people became restless because the sales documents of these lands were released and it was clearly stated that anyone has the right to buy these lands, and no matter how much money you have, you can buy them. The premise of wanting wealth is that as long as you have enough money.
