Although Shen Ruliang, the old party gentry who planned to burn the army rations, was very angry, he was very excited about it for the new party people who supported Xinli.
As the saying goes, "You need to indulge in alcohol to sing during the day, and you can return to your hometown with the company of youth."
Many members of the new party also took the initiative to return to their hometowns together and began to tell their tribesmen the news, asking them to rush to buy subscription coupons.
In addition, the New Party gentry who were originally in the countryside began to actively organize villagers to send tea and even wedding money to the soldiers who reported victory.
Yingtian's Laidi even shed tears on her clothes, and decisively ordered that all her employees be given an additional month's wages as wedding money to celebrate Luzon's victory.
As a factory owner, especially an industrial factory owner, the Liu Textile Industry run by Laidi produces cheap cotton cloth produced in large quantities in an industrialized manner.
Such an industry can continue to increase profits by relying on the increase in people's income to promote the growth of the domestic cotton market and the expansion of the cheap cotton market developed externally.
Therefore, factory owners like her hope that the conquest of Luzon will be a big victory, and the subscription tickets will soar, so that more and more people will be willing to buy new cotton-padded clothes instead of mending them for three years.
"Yangzhou Huang Qipei purchased an additional 30,000 taels of silver yuan subscription coupons!"
"Fengyang Zheng Shangti purchased an additional 27,000 taels of subscription coupons!"
"Huai'an Luo Wenlang purchased an additional 16,000 taels of subscription coupons!"
…
Qingjiangpu.
When Ye Agui came to Huai'an City to buy more subscription coupons, he saw that many dental shops that traded subscription coupons for ordinary people were overcrowded again.
This shocked Ye Agui and said, "It's actually faster than me."
At the same time, Ye Agui couldn't help complaining: "These big investors are really going too far. They said that the subscription coupons will fall again, and the news of the big victory is false, but in the end they really came to buy them."
The number of people chasing subscription tickets has indeed begun to increase dramatically.
In particular, many large investors, in order to make up for their losses, almost all took out the money at the bottom of the box to buy the bottom.
But unfortunately, the subscription of subscription coupons is subject to qualification restrictions. Not only are there qualification restrictions, but there are also purchase restrictions.
Therefore, it is easy to sell but very difficult to buy.
Many large households have to spend money to buy subscription coupons to make up for their losses, and they also have to spend money to buy qualifications from many poor people.
For a time, a large amount of silver dollars flowed into the hands of ordinary people.
The price of subscription coupons also began to skyrocket due to a large number of subscriptions.
However, these days there are not that many poor people who are willing to sell their subscriptions, so many large households still lose money and still have to bear the losses caused by selling the subscription bonds.
…
"Gu Sanlang, you have to give us an explanation today!"
"Didn't you say that the imperial court's conquest of Luzon will be defeated this time? You also said that Weng Yuanbo's staff has already made detailed plans for Tongyi. The Western Yi must have known all our plans in advance, so they asked us to sell the subscription tickets, but How come the result is like this?!”
"That's right, you asked us to believe that the clan believed in you, the local sages, and you asked us not to believe in the court. But in the end, the court won and the subscription price increased!"
Wuxi Gujia.
After listening to Gu Xiancheng's words, a bunch of local relatives of the Gu family sold their subscription tickets and came to Gu Xiancheng, asking for an explanation.
Gu Xiancheng actually had good intentions, but he was afraid that his relatives and friends would suffer huge losses due to the sharp drop in subscription coupons.
As for the conquest of Luzon, he really felt that the imperial court would definitely lose.
It's not that Gu Xiancheng is not smart or too whimsical, it's that he really understands Chen Lin.
Having served as a Langguan in Beijing, he had easy access to information about Chen Lin. In addition, he also knew very well how many interests of the coastal families were involved in the conquest of Luzon, so he was very sure that the conquest of Luzon would not happen this time. success.
In addition, Gu Xiancheng has always had a kind of self-confidence, a kind of self-confidence that he can see through the patterns of all events.
Historically, Gu Xiancheng was very confident that Zhang Juzheng would be liquidated, so he insisted on not showing favor to Zhang Juzheng, and even later became confident that he could control the government.
However, Gu Xiancheng actually restrained himself in this life and was not so confident. After all, Zhang Juzheng was not liquidated in this life, so he only said this to his relatives and friends, instead of going around the world to persuade all the scholar-bureaucrats he knew to sell their subscriptions.
He advised his relatives and friends to sell out of goodwill, a kind of goodwill towards his tribe and fellow villagers.
But Gu Xiancheng did not expect that the result would be like this. He found that he not only underestimated the emperor of tomorrow, but also underestimated Chen Lin and other new party military ministers.
As a literati, he has always despised warriors.
He despises that warriors are either ill-informed, rude and arrogant, prone to be greedy for profit, often go their own way just because they have soldiers, or they are willing to be the lackeys of civil servants for the sake of promotion and title, without principles or bottom line.
But now he discovered that although Chen Lin had many shortcomings as a martial artist, he seemed to be able to do many things that surprised him.
If Shen Shixing cheated him last time, he could still accept it. It would not be too shameful to say that he was not as smart as Shen Shixing, who was also a scholar-bureaucrat. The martial artist was at least not as good as him. But now, it seems that even Chen Lin, a martial artist, is not as smart as him. It makes him unpredictable and seems to be smarter than he thought.
Therefore, this was a bigger blow to Gu Xiancheng.
"Sanlang, I once advised you not to think that you are the smartest in the world. Everyone in the world is stupid. You should be in awe. You don't believe it, but you think you are right!"
"Let's just talk about the fact that you were deceived by Shenwu County before. Was it because of your self-righteousness?"
"How can Mr. Ge be stupider than you? You still think you can make him do things according to your will!"
"Then there is the current Uncle Weng Yuan and Chen Shaozhou. As an earl, he can become an admiral. Will he be as simple a figure as you think?"
"There are more things that others can see than you can!"
"You, because you are too smart, have lost your official status and reputation. Now your family business has also been ruined, and you have also harmed your tribe and fellow villagers!"
Gu Xiancheng's second brother, Gu Zicheng, also blamed him after the fact because Gu Xiancheng sold too many subscriptions to his Gu family.
Other tribesmen and villagers questioned Gu Xiancheng, but Gu Xiancheng just accepted it honestly, knowing that he was in the wrong and sorry for these tribesmen and villagers.
But Gu Zicheng's words directly touched his sore spot, forcing him to face the fact that he was not as good as Shen Shixing and Chen Lin.
So, Gu Xiancheng slapped the table out of control on the spot:
"enough!"
"Gu Xiancheng! What are you going to do?"
"You don't need the filial piety, yet you talk to your second brother like that!"
"In front of your tribe and fellow villagers, you are not doing this in a humane manner?!"
Seeing this, Gu Xingcheng, Gu Xiancheng's elder brother, scolded Gu Xiancheng, and then ordered Gu Xiancheng: "Kneel down!"
His parents, such as Gu Xiancheng and Gu Yuncheng, died early. They were raised by Gu Xingcheng and Gu Zicheng. They even supported the imperial examinations. In addition, in this era, the eldest brother was like a father, so Gu Xingcheng was qualified to order Gu Xiancheng to kneel down.
