    Zhang Lei's actions made Ge Wei furious, but now that everyone has been killed by Zhang Lei, he could not change the outcome no matter what he said. He sighed and said: "I have heard that Master Zhang is killing people."  Decisive, I always thought that this evaluation was biased, but when I saw it today, I realized that it was well-deserved, but that¡¯s it, isn¡¯t Mr. Zhang afraid that the evil spirits will come to claim his life?¡±

    "Wrong ghost? Are you kidding? Do you know? I just blew up the temple in front of you. Do you think I will believe these ghosts of yours? If I couldn't find where hell is, I would  Even hell has been destroyed for you, do you believe it or not?" Zhang Lei said expressionlessly.

    Ge Wei suddenly didn¡¯t know what to say, so he remained silent. Zhang Lei glanced at him, and then said: "Okay, go back and blow up all these Buddha statues."

    Naturally, Jiang Yuyang was responsible for this matter. Zhang Lei took a group of people back. As soon as Ge Wei returned, he immediately wrote a memorial to Chongzhen. Chongzhen was very satisfied when he received the first memorial, not because he felt that  Zhang Lei did the right thing, but Ge Wei finally followed Zhang Lei.

    After settling this matter, Zhang Lei was silent for a period of time. The reason for this was because he had to wait for the complete implementation of the monetary system so that he could proceed smoothly with the next steps.

    Half a month later, Zhang Lei made several "incognito private visits" and it seemed that he was almost ready, so he immediately made the next step, which was to build an arsenal. Although there were arsenals in the capital and Songjiang Prefecture,  But this is not enough, the output is too little.  There is simply not enough for hundreds of thousands or millions of people.  And the actual combat experience over the years has proven it.  How important it is for an army to have advanced weapons. Zhang Lei relies on these advanced equipment to fight against various enemies.

    So, Zhang Lei did another thing, which was to issue stocks. Of course, this thing cannot be called stocks. It is very troublesome to explain this term.  So he called this pledge.

    This day is the tenth day of October. As early as half a month ago, the door of the Daming Business Development Company was already bustling because from that day on, Zhang Lei began to issue the lottery of the Ming Dynasty. The prize for the first place was ten taels of gold.  A lottery ticket only costs one tael of silver and uses a method similar to drawing lots. That is, after paying the money, you can randomly grab a piece of paper from a box.  If there is gold ten taels written on the paper, it is considered a win and can be redeemed on the spot.  Every day, someone will draw the twelve taels of gold, so everyone's enthusiasm has not diminished. Zhang Lei has made a lot of money in half a month.  Of course, to him, this amount of money is not a huge amount of money. He is paving the way for the issuance of stocks, and the tenth of October is the day when he thinks the paving work has been completed.

    Early in the morning, the entire Daming Business Development Company was beating gongs and drums, and it was very lively. Zhang Lei, wearing a brand new official uniform, stood with a smile on the large square in front of the company, which was originally crowded with people because of the lottery.  Attracted more spectators.

    Seeing more and more people around him, the smile on Zhang Lei's face became more and more prosperous. At this time, Zhang Lei stood on the half-person-high stage that had been prepared. Those who were beating gongs and drums stopped immediately when they saw this.  After realizing his behavior, the lively and lively scene suddenly became quiet. The common people stopped what they were doing to look at this young official who was not very capable but quite capable. They thought it was so lively all of a sudden.  Let¡¯s see what tricks Zhang Lei is going to play again.

    "Fellows and fellows, I am Zhang Lei. I would like to thank you all for coming to our company today." This was the opening remarks. After speaking, Zhang Lei bowed deeply.

    Everyone was excited. Not to mention the people below, even Ge Wei, who was standing behind Zhang Lei, was shocked. Who is Zhang Lei?  Even when he met the emperor, he was still a very arrogant person. Now he actually said such words in front of ordinary people. In Gewei's view, this was very different from his decisive character of Sofa not long ago.

    Everyone was excited again. They had never seen or even imagined that such a situation would arise. An official, and a powerful and popular official, would face ordinary people like them with their noble heads lowered.  .

    Seeing the reaction of the people below, Zhang Lei showed a smile. Although this trick has been broken by people hundreds of years later, when used in this era, the effect is unimaginable. However,  Zhang Lei will not give up, he has something even more shocking.

    "As an official, I am ordered to govern a place. The people are my food, clothing, parents, and everything I have is from you. As for me, I am your servant. I have a name called Public Servant, which means I am the servant of all the people.  , my duty is to solve problems for all the people, and my only goal is to make you live a better life.I want to live a good life, so I thought of many ways and took a lot of risks. But I will get rid of anyone who is harmful to you, including the former corrupt official Lu Guo, including unscrupulous businessmen. Of course, you may not want to do this.  Know.  Also, not long ago, after I implemented the monetary policy, some people made fake golden Buddhas in exchange for people's hard-earned money. I have killed them all!  "

    "Master Zhang is really Master Qingtian. God has mercy on the people. After so many years, God has finally opened his eyes. Our good days are coming" I don't know who suddenly shouted, Zhang Lei listened.  The voice sounded like that of a very old man.

    All the people knelt down in unison and shouted "Master Qingtian".

    Ge Wei, who was standing behind him, was shocked. He had never thought about it, nor would he think about it, that the relationship between officials and the people could reach the level it is now. It is not unheard of for people to kneel down and chant, but that  They were all compulsory, but today they are all voluntary by the people. This is an essential difference.

    Zhang Lei was very satisfied and could predict the result. He smiled slightly and said: "Common people, stand up. I don't like you kneeling. As I said just now, if I want to make achievements, I have to  I need your support. You are my food, clothing, and parents, so I cannot afford your kneeling. Stand up, stand up, and from now on, you don¡¯t have to kneel down when you see me. I don¡¯t like it. I prefer to bow my hands.  The left hand forms a palm, which represents the five lakes, and the right hand forms a fist, which means the four seas. The hands are cupped and bowed. It is said that all the people in the world should be like this."

    Regarding Zhang Lei's request, everyone looked at each other. After a while, everyone cheered. Zhang Lei smiled and said nothing. If you want to change your mind, you must first start with these humiliating etiquettes that restrict your mind, especially the kneeling ceremony.  A product of this hierarchy.

    But there is no need to kneel down. For everyone, it seems like a layer of shackles has been removed from the body. Who wants to put a layer of shackles on someone?  Even a masochist would not torture himself like this.

    But for Ge Wei later, this was unimaginable. These people were uneducated, so they would do whatever officials like Zhang Lei said. If doing so would make them live a happier life, they would immediately  You will be grateful.  But scholars are different, because when they start studying, the education they receive is about the king of heaven and earth, the master, the master, and the understanding of various grades and how to improve their social status. Therefore, for Zhang Lei, who directly abandons grades  Ge Wei felt that he couldn't understand it at all.  He took two steps to argue with Zhang Lei, but then he thought about it and stepped back. His task was just to let Chongzhen know what Zhang Lei had done, not to argue with Zhang Lei himself. If  If he was driven away by Zhang Lei, his chance of promotion would be gone.

    Next, after everyone's excitement had passed, Zhang Lei immediately said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, as I said just now, my goal is to create benefits for you and make your life better. Now I want to  We have come up with a way for everyone to make money, do you want to know?"

    "Think." The passion and curiosity of the people had been ignited. After hearing Zhang Lei's words, everyone shouted with their loudest voices.

    Zhang Lei said with great satisfaction: "Very good, then you look at those businessmen, they make money, do you also want to make money like them, but you also think that you are not good at doing business?"

    "yes."

    "Very good, now I will give you a chance to dream. I have selected dozens of business experts. They are all big shopkeepers that I have invited from various places. I have brought them here to establish  In a large factory, of course, the boss is not them, but you." Zhang Lei said.

    "" Everyone suddenly became quiet. They didn't know what Zhang Lei meant, and were waiting for his next answer.

    Zhang Lei smiled and said: "I think you can use your own savings, and then my shopkeepers will use your money to do business. After the business makes money, you  The money you invest will naturally increase in value. For example, if you bring in one tael of silver, and the one tael of silver earns you another one tael of silver, then you can get back two taels of silver. You see how good it is."

    In fact, he brought the set he made in Songjiang Prefecture here, but because he has been experimenting in Songjiang Prefecture for so many years, he is already very experienced. Now that he has brought this set to Shanhaiguan, he is sure that he can  Do better.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
