The news that the emperor built the "Tiantian Tower" was like water entering a boiling oil pan, and immediately "splashed passion".

...

The most surprising thing about this was Fan Weicheng. Today, the sales volume of his diary newspaper exceeded 50,000 yuan. He is still printing continuously. The printing factory is almost busy. The diary newspaper has just been printed and the ink has not been completely dried, so it was immediately sold out.

When Fan Weicheng heard this news, he knew that the news would cause a great sensation, so he was also ready to print it, but he still underestimated the sensation of the news. After the first batch of 50,000 mansions were sold out, he had to print it immediately.

This is just the sales volume of Beijing and its surrounding areas, and it has not been counted in other places. Due to the distance, the sales volume seen in Shanxi and Shaanxi will be later than those seen in Beijing. Therefore, if other places also need to be printed, the number will rise again. If sales volumes in other places are added, Fan Weicheng feels that the sales volume of this sales volume of this newspaper will probably exceed the 200,000 mark.

A newspaper has a sales volume of 200,000, which is definitely a terrifying number.

...

"Your Majesty wants to build the Tower of Heaven..."

"Your Majesty wants to build the Tower of Heaven..."

The streets and alleys are full of newspaper boys' excitement. The more newspapers you sell, the more income you will have. The number of sales today is equivalent to the sales volume in the past few days, so you are extremely hardworking.

The streets, alleys, teahouses and wine managers are also talking about this matter everywhere.

"My mother... The tower is thirty feet tall, such a tall tower, standing below, I'm afraid I can't even raise my head straight, how can I build it up..." The business of this teahouse is extremely popular, and countless people gathered to have tea early. When we meet, we talked about the Tongtian Tower. This kind of building is indeed a super project for the Ming Dynasty, just like talking about the construction of the Three Gorges in the 20th century.

"......... I'm so tall, standing on it, you can't be scared to death..." someone said.

"Yes! I said, how can you build such a tower like this?..." someone interrupted.

"What kind of tower is this? This is a stele, and it is a different matter. The tower is a tower, and the stele is a stele..." Immediately someone started yelling again, telling the difference between these two things.

"...What kind of monument is a tower? What's the difference? It can be built so high, do you care if it's a tower or a monument?" Someone immediately shouted. This teahouse is so lively.

"...Why is there no difference? The newspaper in this residence said that it is to build a monument, not a tower... The tower is like building a house. It is very simple. The monument is different. It is just a pillar. It is much more difficult... The newspaper in this residence said that..., what mountain, mountain... sun, stele, what material.... It is chiseled and cannot be transported out..." The man immediately argued with others, but his cultural level was too low. When he encountered something slightly deeper, he immediately stuttered.

"I said..., Manager Liu, is this what the Di newspaper said? Don't fool us..." Someone noticed something strange and deliberately asked the person who was just talking.

"Why isn't this something that can be said in the Di Daily News? Isn't this a piece of paper? It's written clearly..." The man who was called the shopkeeper Liu said seriously immediately. After saying that, he picked up the Di Daily News, opened it, and "read" it seriously.

As soon as the shopkeeper Liu read the newspaper, he immediately made a burst of laughter. Why? Because the shopkeeper Liu was illiterate, he took the newspaper back.

"Coax..." Everyone laughed immediately.

"I said to Manager Liu, should I read this word from bottom to top! Or from top to bottom? Can you not take a downward retribution?" said the person who cancelled it just now.

The man immediately blushed, illiterate, and had no choice but to be uneducated.

"...Hahaha..., Manager Liu, you are illiterate, why are you doing with a newspaper? Others thought you were pretending to be knowledgeable and able to read newspapers..." More people made fun of it.

"Why are you laughing? Although we can't read, the black and white words on this newspaper cannot deceive people. We just want to buy one and make a family heirloom in the future. When we get old, we will let our descendants see it. The master has experienced such strange things back then, and he has not lived in vain..." This man refused to give in and argued immediately. Although illiteracy made him ugly, he was even more proud that he could live in this era.

This is what Liu Dashangguan said, and it was unanimously recognized by everyone. Many people smiled and nodded, saying that they had indeed encountered a rare era. It is a blessing to be able to experience this era. As a black and white letter written by the imperial court, Di Bao has the function of recording historical moments.

"...I'll just say a few words..." After reading the newspaper to everyone, I took a tea and took a break, letting the group of people chat and brag, and killing the time. When I heard the shopkeeper Liu talk about this, I felt that I had to interrupt.

Everyone also calmed down and prepared to see what the old master said.

"...Shopkeeper Liu is indeed right. It doesn't matter if he can't read, but this black and white thing cannot deceive people. If Your Majesty really wants to build such a tower of heaven in the future, it must be a grand event for my Ming Dynasty. You can rarely encounter such a prosperous era in life. Please cherish it!... If you can buy a newspaper for this residence as a souvenir, it is also a good thing. I think this residence is only a few cents, and you can afford it... It would be a pity if you missed today!..." The old master suddenly said with emotion, urging everyone to buy a newspaper for a souvenir.

"It's still the old master's words that make sense. This residence only costs a few cents, but the news in this residence is a rare prosperous era. If you spend a few cents to leave a prosperous era and a certificate, it is also a good thing... Whether you are thinking about it or showing it out in the future, this angle is enough..." A man immediately echoed loudly.

As soon as this person proposed, he immediately received support from many people. He said he wanted to buy a residence to pay it back as a souvenir, and brag about his children and grandchildren in the future, as a witness to the prosperous Ming Dynasty, or bring it to the grave to bury it with him. This is a matter of making a profit.

...

Chen Yuting’s Mansion.

"Luoyang paper is expensive..., Luoyang paper is expensive!... Now I finally understand what Luoyang paper is expensive..."

An official walked into Chen Yuting's living room with a newspaper.

Many officials gathered in Chen Yuting's living room early in the morning, and these officials came to discuss this matter.

"...... It's almost crazy to grab this mansion newspaper outside. I haven't seen someone grabbing the mansion newspaper so much. This time, this incident has really made a big deal..." said the official.

"Your Majesty's affairs are not just a big deal? They are simply difficult to end. Is this thirty-foot monument so easy to build?" The official immediately took over the conversation.

"...Ah, I don't know when to build such a high monument! Your Majesty really dares to think about it. But this time, I am really ambitious, and manpower will be in poverty after all!"

"Hmph..., stupid, stupid... Your Majesty is really confused. This is simply what the tyrant king calls it, this is simply a waste of people and money..." Some officials also shouted with heartache.

Several officials looked at the official who was crying with pain.

"Oh, Your Majesty is going to learn from Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty and to express his merits with a monument. It is said that this monument was not built with a whole stone, but was built with cement and steel and iron bones for twenty years..." Although other officials thought this matter was outrageous and had some opposition, they were not as straightforward as the official and wrote their anger on their faces.

"Your Majesty is still thinking about the matter of moving away from the Han and Tang dynasties. If it weren't for this, how could he build this 'Tower of Heaven'? This is to show his achievements!..."

"This monument is said to be built in the name of China. To build a monument to China... If you have the intention to discuss whether this monument can be built, it is better to talk about the name of this monument, the original intention of building this monument, what is the use after it is built." An official said. Now everyone has focused on whether it can be built or not, rather than the original intention of building the monument. Originally, this original intention is quite worthy of discussion, but compared with the construction of the monument, it has become a trivial matter, and there is no point in talking about it. Everyone is thinking about whether this monument can be built or not. This monument is really too tall.

"What else can I say now? If such a tall monument can be built, it is not impossible to say something called gathering people in the world. Now it is difficult. If this is built, it cannot be built, and nothing can be said." The topic quickly returned to the "topic" and everyone's eyes were on whether it could be built so high. As for the original intention and purpose, this is second.

"Hmph... Your Majesty is a waste of money and money. Such a grand project requires the use of people's strength. I don't know how many things you need to build successfully. Your Majesty is wasting, and it is consuming people's wealth and cream..."

When everyone heard this old argument, they despised it. Now, the main concern for this matter is whether it can be built. You still say how much it costs to build it. Obviously, there is no center. Who would be willing to discuss this with you? Once this thing is built, it will definitely be a miracle of the Ming Dynasty.

...

Shi Feng came to his mansion.

Shi Feng came here, and many people also came.

"I think that although the meaning of the Chinese word "Huaxia" is very high, it also has a lot of flaws. I think that the Ming Dynasty is the center of the vast country and the world. Although the Chinese word "Huaxia" can represent my descendants of Yan and Huang and my people of the Ming Dynasty, I still lack some meaning in this regard. Your Majesty plans to use this monument to continue the connection between China in the future.... The officials think that the Chinese word "Huaxia" is not used properly and needs to be slightly changed to be more in line with the intention... and more in line with Your Majesty's thoughts..." said an old official.

When Shi Fenglai heard this, he nodded repeatedly. His position was quite embarrassing. He said it was the Imperial Party, but he could not participate in many secrets. He said that it was not the Imperial Party. But if the position of the Auxiliary is firmly seated, everyone would say that the Auxiliary is the Imperial Party... His position was also quite embarrassing. Thinking of the gap between himself and the real Imperial Party, Shi Fenglai was also very depressed. There were also some officials who came to "reward the work" to give him advice. As the Auxiliary, no matter what, there were always a few helpers. Shi Fenglai felt that this was really interesting and changed the name of the emperor's monument. If the stele was really built, he would definitely mention his name when talking about the stele in the future. This monument should be given to the emperor.

"...I don't know how to change that movie?" Shi Fenglai asked, and Ta's personality determined. The officials who came to him to "repay their work" could only be old corrupt scholars.

"Mr. Yuanfu, just change one word. In this way, you can summarize the central country and the great dynasty. You can summarize the meaning of China... If you only use the word China, you will throw the court, the Ming Dynasty, and the Majesty aside..." This old scholar has no other skills. If you want to study the text, it would be so smart. It is very clear.

"What word should I change to?" Shi Fenglai asked.

"Master Yuan Fu, this is going to be changed to the word "China". In this way, the idea will be raised at once. It not only summarizes the court and puts His Majesty in it. It also does not change His Majesty's original meaning..." The old scholar showed off his complacently, and yesterday there was news that he wanted to build the "Tongtian Tower". The tower did not sleep all night, thinking about this matter. After thinking about it, I really figured out something.

"China..., China Monument?... China Memorial Altar... Well..." After hearing this, Shi Fenglai compared it a little and immediately felt that it was good. The idea of ​​China was indeed one level higher than that of China. It not only summarized China, but also put the central dynasty in the court, and put the court in the court. Didn't His Majesty just put it in? This was really won in one fell swoop. Thinking of this, Shi Fenglai felt it was good again. If he could tell His Majesty to change this word, he would definitely look at him differently. If this human altar is built in the future, he would have to record his own and the human altar.

"...Well, the word "Chinese" is indeed higher than that of China. It's good, not bad..." Shi Fenglai was very happy.

...

On the Han Mansion.

A few people were also gathered.

"Ge Master, I wonder if it is really built or a pretext for building the 'Tongtian Tower' this time? Ge Master, the following officials know about cement. If we want to build such a tall stele tower, the cement needed will be planned by sea. This is really not a simple project! If it is really built, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to build a new cement factory..." The official said, not so concerned about the original intention of the Tongtian Tower, but he focused his attention on cement.

When the official said this, the eyes of the people around him immediately shone.

Han Du sighed, why did the person in his hand have to talk about business as soon as he opened his mouth? Why did his eyes always fall above money? Han Du really wanted to have the kind of person who stood at the height of the world to see this matter, rather than like a cat who smelled the fishy smell.

"This matter is really established. Your Majesty is definitely not joking. Do you think that it is fun to be worshiped by a living person?" Han Gong really wanted to bring the topic back to "regularity" and not focus on "buying and trading".

"Gei, then in this way, it must be built..." said human.

Han Du nodded again and said yes.

"... Master Ge, this time, it is definitely a rare opportunity! Master Ge thought, if this cement can really build a thirty-foot-high monument, then this cement will not be famous all over the world? Master Ge, this cement will be in short supply in the future! There are so many houses in the world, and those who build tombs do not want to build the house more solid, and those who don't want to build the tombs more solid, knowing the reputation of this cement, don't you spend a lot of money to buy cement? Master Ge, the business opportunities here are really big!..." The official still focused his attention on cement and smelled the business opportunities from it.

"Yes! Master Ge, this matter seems to be His Majesty doing things randomly and wasting financial resources, but in fact, it is definitely His Majesty's cover. This is definitely the foreshadowing of His Majesty. Master Ge thought that this house for burning cement is in His Majesty's hands. If the world uses cement to repair houses in the world, how much cement will be produced every year? How much money will it cost? Master Ge, Your Majesty has always been smart in doing things and never does business at a loss. This time, this time, when His Majesty is still planning, hurry up and occupy some places to build cement factories... Once this is taken first, it will definitely benefit greatly in the future..." Other officials followed and persuaded, analyzing this matter from another perspective.

As the person involved and as an eyewitness of the whole incident, Han Dong could only shake his head secretly after hearing the words of his subordinates. It was really useless. Han Dong could only complain in secretly. He had to rely on these people to support him to gain a foothold in the court.

"...This is not bad. If cement can really build such a high monument, then cement will definitely be famous all over the world in the future. I am afraid he will use it to build a house in the future. This is indeed a big business opportunity... If that person is interested, he will take advantage of the current situation and bet in advance. If the truth is revealed, it will be too late. If he breaks his scalp, he will not be able to grab it..." Han Yu had to follow the views of his disciples.

...

In the city of Beijing.

A tavern.

A man in white sat alone in front of the window, and on the left was a newspaper today. The content of the newspaper was exactly the "Tower of Heaven".

The expression of the man in white can be said to be very quiet, or, with a lot of anger, unwillingness and fear.

This time, the "burning paper money" was exactly what he pushed secretly. It was because he saw the people coming to Beijing so continuously and constantly kowtowed. The master who was far away on the grassland kept urging him to find a way as soon as possible. It would be best to weaken the reputation of the Ming Emperor, and it would be best to make the reputation of the Ming Emperor bad. In this way, after the prestige of the Ming Emperor fell sharply, there might be turbulence in the Ming Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty was turbulent, it would inevitably affect the war in the desert. Perhaps the Ming Dynasty could be outside the pass.

The elites were eliminated and thus turned the situation around. It was precisely because of this that he came up with such an idea. He thought that his plan was perfect and could destroy the prestige of Minghuang in one fell swoop, and make Minghuang completely laughed at by the world. But he never expected that in the end, this matter would develop to this point, the thirty-foot-high Tower of Heaven! If it was really built for Minghuang, the reputation of Minghuang would definitely soar again, and it would be a disaster for the master on the grassland.
