The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

For a time, this incident was passed on as a good talk.

……

Jin Yiwei's spies sent the news back to the palace as soon as possible and reported it to Jiajing.

Jiajing pondered for a while, then said to Lu Bing who was talking with him, "Tell me, what is Yan Song trying to do?"

Lu Bing thought for a while and said, "Is Yan Song angry because someone pretended to be him and cheated him?"

"No no!" Jiajing smiled lightly: "This matter is actually Yan Aiqing's far-sighted and far-sighted approach, which is very like the ancients! This is called Yimu Lixin!"

Lu Bing suddenly realized.

Huang Jin also knew this allusion, but still pretended to be dazed: "My lord, teach me what is Yimu Lixin?"

Lu Bing, next to Jiajing, explained: "The story of emigrating wood and establishing faith comes from Shang Yang's reform. At that time, Qin Xiaogong appointed Wei Yang to preside over the reform. Wei Yang wanted to implement the policy of reform and strive for strength, lest people in the world would criticize him. The decree has been It is complete, but it has not been announced. I am afraid that the people will not trust it, so I set up a three-foot-long wooden pole at the south gate of the Guodu Market, recruiting people who can move to the north gate, and rewarding ten yi gold. The people were surprised by this. No one dares to move the pole."

Huang Jin was stunned: "That's right! You can get so much gold just by moving a mere piece of wood, if I don't believe it!"

Lu Bing smiled and said, "Wei Yang announced another order: "Whoever can move there will be rewarded fifty yi of gold. "Finally, a man moved the wooden pole to the north gate, and Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty yi of gold to show that there was no fraud. Finally, he promulgated the reform decree, and no one doubted it. Everything was carried out."

Jiajing smiled lightly: "Yan Aiqing's trick is actually to move wood and establish faith. He doesn't need such a heavy compensation for the damaged people, but he wants to do this. 663 intends to emphasize his decrees, and the people only need to abide by them, and they will be rewarded." Huge profits. These silvers are only tens of thousands of taels, but they can be sold to the trust of the people and buy back the faith of the imperial court, which is indeed a good deal!"

In fact, Jiajing also had the idea of ​​using power for personal gain and reaching out to Yan Song to get some money, but Yan Song's high-profile move to wood and Lixin made Jiajing feel embarrassed to do it, so he had to laugh at himself and dismissed this idea: "Since Yan Aiqing values ​​the court so much I will grant him his credit. Let's see how he sails the sea!"

The next day, Yan Song took Hai Rui with him, left Beijing, and set off for Tianjin to take up his post.

Because the story of migrating to wood and establishing faith has been widely circulated, the people in the capital increasingly believe that Yan Song is a man of faith.At this time, it was also heard that Yan Song was going out of Beijing to preside over Tianjin Construction and Kaihai, so the whole city was a sensation, and countless people organized spontaneously to send Yan Song off.

In the entire Beijing city, countless people lined the road to see off Yan Song, drums and music blared, and fireworks bloomed.

Hai Rui stared at Yan Song for a long time.

Yan Song was taken aback by the chrysanthemum flower: "Don't mess around, I don't have that kind of hobby..."

Hai Rui ignored it and murmured, "You are a traitorous minister, how can you be so loved and so many people send you out of Beijing? It's really strange."

Yan Song sneered: "Do you think they love me voluntarily? The so-called no profit is too early! They all bought bonds, bought shops, and even invested in stocks, and their entire wealth and life are on me. I misplaced more than [-] million yuan, These people are expecting me to make money for them. If it were you, you would be so popular!"

Hai Rui thought for a while and nodded.

Yan Song is still relatively calm at this time, seeing things clearly.

So many people lined the road to see off, just because they all invested and waited for Yan Song to open the sea and make a lot of money, so that everyone could make a fortune together.

On the roads on both sides, there are desks everywhere. What makes Yan Song dumbfounded is that the God of Wealth is enshrined on this desk.

At the gate of the city, Yan Song saw Qian Guangjin and Liu Cunshan, the two big bank owners, each holding an umbrella full of signatures, smiling all over his face, and handing it over to Yan Song.

Manmin Umbrella?

Yan Song felt very pleased in his heart!

He, a treacherous official, was finally given the Wanmin Umbrella!

And two Manmin umbrellas!

I have struggled for so many years, and finally waited until today, and everyone finally recognized me as a good person.

Yan Song was very excited.

Yan Song laughed haha: "This is Wanmin Umbrella? Oh, why are you so polite? I don't like false fame the least."

Hai Rui pouted at the side.

Just pretend.

Who knows, Qian Guangjin laughed and said, "Wanmin Umbrella? How could it be that kind of thing? Mr. Yan Ge, take a closer look?"

Yan Song opened the Wanmin Umbrella with a dazed expression, only to hear a crash, and the opened umbrella was densely packed with notes.

"Liu Guodong, the owner of Huiliansheng, invested 90 yuan this time, and wish Yange the best of luck."

"Huiliansheng's owner, Qian Feng, invested 70 yuan, Mr. Yan Ge must make money!"

"Feng Shaofeng, the shareholder of Tiantonghui, invested 87 yuan. If Mr. Yan Ge loses money, I will go to your house for dinner."

All kinds of people are the investors of Huiliansheng and Tiantonghui, just a note of thought.There are also "Yan Song, if you lose your money, I will never let you go." This kind of threatening and sturdy statement.

Yan Song is sweating profusely.

"What do you two mean?"

"This is not the Wanmin Umbrella. This is the [Farewell Umbrella] given to Mr. Yan Ge by all our investors. It reminds Mr. Yan Ge that our wealth and life are on you."

Qian Guangjin said very seriously.

Yan Song had a black thread: "Go, go! I don't care for parting umbrellas, keep them for yourself!"

Hai Rui laughed out loud.

Yan Song glared at Hai Rui fiercely, and got on his horse resentfully.

At the height of the imperial gate, Jiajing watched Yan Song go to Tianjin.
