Chapter 400: Up, follow the emperor to make money
Chapter 400: Rise, follow the emperor to make money
The capital city in early October.
More popular than midsummer.
For nothing else, it is a message from the newspaper.
Liulizhai makes money, which is something that everyone in the world knows. The so-called Jinshan refers to Liulizhai now. It is a place where the emperor turns sand into gold. This magic that only the legendary gods have, including many people in Beijing, believe that the emperor will, otherwise, how could the emperor have so much silver? There is endless money to spend? You have heard that the emperor was willing to take out 10 million taels of silver to provide disaster relief? Is there any? No! But some emperors pay millions to smear military pay for the past years? Is there any? Is there any? Is there any emperor who pays hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the treasury every month to raise border troops to fight?
Yes? No! In addition, many things such as large-scale warships, millions of military uniforms, exemption from taxes, etc., made the people of Beijing blinded, and believed that the emperor must have known some rumored spells, such as turning stones into gold, otherwise, how could there be so much silver? There is more than one emperor in the Ming Dynasty, but which emperor spent money like this? Is there? No! Now, I just pull someone on the street to ask, is the emperor rich? Tell you ten percent, you are rich anymore. Is the emperor lacking money? Is the emperor lacking money? Is it absolutely not lacking! Whoever suspects that the emperor lacks money and has no money to spend will definitely be despised by everyone.
Therefore, when some stocks were leaked from the palace, many people in the capital were concerned about this. Not to mention investing in Liulizhai, the promise of getting 10% of the dividends every year has already touched many people. After all, 10% of the profit is already a lot. Although it is not as good as putting money on the pen, putting money on the pen is a business that requires hard work and unstable business. It earns "bad money" and is not as stable as Liulizhai's dividends. Many people putting money on the pen is all
The money that has lost all his money is not suitable for everyone. Without strong relationships and means, it is easy to lose all his money. Therefore, some "families" in Beijing have focused their attention on Liulizhai's stocks. This one has collected a few tickets, and that one has collected a few tickets, and put them at home, waiting for the end of the year to eat dividends. First, don't worry too much; second, the dividend is pretty good; third, carefully calculate it. From receiving it to the end of the year, it only takes a few months, less than half a year.
You can get a dividend of 100 taels, which means that this matter is actually more "faster" than depositing money in a bank. If you deposit it for ten years, you will have 10% interest per year. However, you have to deposit it for one year to get a dividend of 10%, which is not as good as the dividend of Liulizhai. In fact, you can get a dividend of 10% in less than half a year. Therefore, many people who see the tricks have collected more or less, and put them at home to wait for the New Year to collect the 100 taels.
Many people have the idea of paying dividends for the New Year, or selling them, or continuing to collect them, and then looking at them. What's more, there is an imperial party in the middle of the "support"? Of course, it is to follow the emperor to support the emperor and stand up for the emperor. Since the emperor sells stocks, it naturally has to support the people. No matter whether it is valuable or not, it must be kept at home. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your identity as an imperial party? Just eating meat and not doing anything, there is no such good thing in the world.
Therefore, as soon as this stock appeared in the capital, it became vaguely popular, but the situation later changed. The stocks flowing out of the palace were limited, and the number of people who wanted to collect some stocks and eat dividends was increasing. Even if the highest interest rate of the bank was as high as 10%, today's banks are only open to royal families, nobles, officials, fame and titles, and ordinary people deposited their money, but there was no such much interest. If they wanted to have the highest interest, they had to be affiliated with others' names. This was obviously unsafe. Therefore, many ordinary families with some spare money turned their attention to Liulizhai's stocks and were willing to buy them at a high price. So, some people who got the stocks first felt profitable, so they added 100 taels of silver and sold the stocks. Anyway, they spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy one, but they just waited for the 100 taels of silver to collect the 100 taels of silver during the Chinese New Year.
Since someone has paid 100 taels of silver now, it is important to get the silver. So, after selling it, the price of stocks on the market rose a lot, and then some people found that this stock could actually rise, make money, so they started to make money under the special practice, and started to make stocks. They shouted that Liulizhai's stocks are valuable every day, and they kept bragging about how Liulizhai was like... Chinese people have always had a tradition of chasing ups and downs. Besides, Liulizhai has long been famous outside, and the glass walls of that street have become a must-see place for coming to Beijing, so they are even more sought after Liulizhai's stocks. So Liulizhai's stocks rose to 1,200 taels in a blink of an eye. This has to be found in connection with them. Therefore, Liulizhai's stocks have become a hot item in the capital.
As for the merchants who came to the south later, it was even more outrageous. They opened up the purchase of stocks in everyone's hands and claimed to invest in Liulizhai. Although many people disbelief and even laughed at it, Liulizhai is the emperor's property and will you invest in it? But others took out the silver with real money, so many people thought it was profitable, so they sold the stocks again. After all, when they first bought it, they were only 1,300 taels now. How long did it take? They made a full 300 taels of silver, and the capital was only 1,000 taels. So, after that, Liulizhai's stocks had reached a high price of more than 1,300 taels...
Today, it was suddenly reported in the diary that a southern merchant successfully acquired the stock and became a shareholder of Liulizhai. He enjoyed the dividends of Liulizhai in the future, and even the stocks sold in the future could be distributed. Now, the entire capital was completely infuriated, so Liulizhai's stock rose to 1,500 taels in an instant. For nothing else, many people saw that Liulizhai's stocks were valuable, and those who wanted to invest in Liulizhai were probably not one or two. Since they wanted to invest in Liulizhai, they must have to close the stocks on the market like the merchant named Wang. Since someone came to collect them, they must have to start the price. Therefore, Liulizhai's stocks instantly reached 1,500 taels per ticket.
Therefore, the popularity in the capital is like midsummer. It is called Liulizhai, stocks, and words, and words, and words, and words, and words, and words, the word "rise".
...
Duke of England.
Zhang Weixian narrowed his eyes, his head was raised, and he kept stroking his beards. The light coming out of his eyes was definitely not like a twilight old man.
"Charter! My country's Duke asked, is the stocks sold in the harem in the future? The businessman named Wang can also share 10%?" British Duke Zhang Weixian was really unsure about this and continued to ask.
"Duke, since the Dibao said this, it is probably true. Haha, Fan Weicheng has no approval from His Majesty. How dare you write randomly in the Dibao? Isn't you dead?" Zhang Guoji didn't believe this kind of thing, but since Dibao said this, he would take the Dibao as the basis. Anyway, Dibao did not have His Majesty's approval from His Majesty, so he would never dare to say it randomly. Fan Weicheng was sent by His Majesty to the Tongzhengsi Department to take charge of the Dibao. If he talked nonsense, the emperor would tear his mouth and let him pay the money himself.
The British Duke nodded. In this regard, it was indeed true. Fan Weicheng was the emperor's person. If Fan Weicheng dared to talk nonsense, it would not be the city that hotly discussed Liulizhai. It should be the city that hotly discussed Fan Weicheng's big mouth and talk nonsense. It should be the ministers discussing who should take the position.
"Duke, we nobles have little source of money. We guard that little land every year, and we have not had enough prospects! Although it is bright on the surface, our family is not very rich, not as generous as those merchants in the south. We often take out millions of taels of silver. Duke, should we start early without any delay? If we invest in Liulizhai? Since that businessman named Wang can do it, there is no reason why we can't. Duke, your majesty is you..." Zhu Chunchen said anxiously, Zhu Chunchen was thinking about one thing now, that is, to quickly invest in Liulizhai, because the stock is rising slowly. If it is a few days later, I don't know when the stock will rise. He has also made trouble with the stocks, knowing the tricks here, and knowing that everyone is starting the price and waiting for others to stop the stocks.
"Cuanchen!" The British Duke interrupted Zhu Chunchen's words again. Zhu Chunchen always kept saying that. Zhang Weixian had to remind him again, everyone, you and me, the emperor knew about this matter, and always kept talking, as if the emperor could not be the emperor without you. Sooner or later, he would be worried about the emperor and would not have good results.
"...The only thing about this is the one who sells stocks and gives money to others. I have never seen it. Is it because someone is talking nonsense or there is another hidden truth? Pure minister, do you think, if it is your thing, you will still give money to others when you sell it for money?" Zhang Weixian is still very vigilant about such things that he cannot understand.
"This..., then, with the meaning of the Duke, is there a deception? Your Majesty is fooling people?" Duke Cheng Zhu Chunchen asked in disbelief. Could the emperor dare to deceive them, such noble things? Could it be that he dared to cheat the Duke of Britain's money? This is obviously impossible. At the beginning, the Duke of Britain took the lead in bringing the emperor from the Xinwang Mansion into the palace. This was a supportive achievement. It is obviously impossible for the emperor to dare to do this.
"Oh... I don't mean that. I think there must be another hidden information here. I'd better wait until I enter the palace to inquire with Your Majesty. I'm not in a hurry at this moment, do you think so? Besides, I'm not that merchant, and I can only rely on buying stocks from the market. This is too slow. I'd better wait for me to enter the palace and ask your Majesty for personal favors. Let's buy it directly from Your Majesty. Isn't it faster than collecting stocks on the market?" Zhang Weixian said to other nobles in the hall.
"The Duke of the State is right. We are not a merchant. If you want to invest, you can just look for Your Majesty. You don't have to buy it in the market like those merchants. This is too much price. Besides, the stocks on the market are rising sharply. Now they have risen sharply. Now they have risen to 1,500 taels. If you collect from the market, you are afraid that the money you want is very expensive. It is better to look for Your Majesty. With the face of the Duke, your Majesty must not be able to take too much, and you can save a lot of money..." Another nobleman agreed.
"Yes, it makes sense. We nobles are just superficially... Haha, if you want to take out such a large sum of money, you have to make up the market. If you can, save some money,... If that's the case, then I'll go home to raise money now. How about waiting for news from the Duke of England?" Other nobles immediately agreed.
"Okay! Since that's the case, then I'll go to the palace and ask your majesty for personal favors. You all go back and raise money. It's not too late, so you have to do it early!" The British Duke Zhang Weixian said with great enthusiasm. The emperor will make money. This is common sense. Liulizhai is a mountain of gold. This is common sense for all people in the world. The emperor will turn sand into silver. The British Duke also believes in this kind of thing. Since Liulizhai makes money like this, why don't you invest? In the past, I was afraid that the emperor would make fun of it, and I dare not ask, nor did I dare to talk about the investment. Now that there are people who have invested, they naturally have to do it, and no one will be unable to get along with the money.
After hearing this, Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Chunchen, felt very happy and he would soon become a shareholder of "Kingshan" and the owner of "Kingshan".
Several nobles immediately said goodbye and went home to prepare for money.
...
Forbidden City.
Yang Jie had just dealt with the matter of Zhenjiang Fort and had just dealt with the matter of Man Gui. The border army was going out of seclusion to attack the Mongolians. Yang Jie never dreamed that the border army of the Ming Dynasty was synonymous with waste. Except for a few more famous ones, the others were Bodhisattvas who only ate and did not do anything. They were useless, but they had to offer them there.
Unexpectedly, this time, he was clamoring to go out of seclusion to attack the Mongolians. I don’t know which god passed by bored and gave these border troops a collective stimulant. As the saying goes, a rotten ship has three kilograms of nails. Even if the border troops are rotten, hundreds of thousands of people can still pick out some elites to attack the Mongolian right wing, which is more than enough.
The army is a monster that is constantly feeding with victory. Yang Jing firmly believes in this. No matter how bad the border army is, he won several battles with Man Gui. His spirit and morale should increase, and his combat power will also increase. The combat power of the border army has increased. Yang Jing feels that he should laugh even if he dreams.
Just as he was joking with Sun Chengzong, a little eunuch came to report: "Report to Your Majesty, the British Duke is asking for a visit."
"Duke of England?" Yang Jing stopped smiling, and his mind instantly turned to another thing, the big net that was spread out, so that you can close the net soon?
"It's coming so fast!" Yang Jing said to himself, then smiled and said, "Hurry, please don't hesitate to the British..."
...
After a while, the British Duke was led to the platform. The British Duke also came to the platform and was very familiar with it. Looking at the sand tables and maps all over the room, the young servants who were full of heroic postures felt a sense of a battlefield coming. This place has become a new place for the emperor to command wars in the world and a center of power.
"I am the British Duke Zhang Weixian, who kowtowed to see my emperor, long live." Zhang Weixian quickly kowtowed and bowed.
"Haha, I'm not allowed, please get up quickly..." Yang Jingyi quickly made a false support action, which gave him enough face.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Zhang Weixian then got up.
"Haha, is there something wrong with the Duke of the State entering the palace today?" Yang Jing asked with a smile. Although he was asking, he had already guessed 70% or 80% of the time. It was probably because of Liulizhai's stocks, otherwise he would not have been so active.
"Your Majesty, I really want to ask Your Majesty for something today, but..." British Duke Zhang Weixian said, while looking at both sides intentionally or unintentionally, looking unspeakable.
Yang Jingyi understood and said to everyone on the platform: "I have something important to do, you all retreat."
Everyone on the platform responded and began to exit the platform in an orderly manner.
Soon, there were no one on the platform. In addition to the emperor, there were also Wang Chengen, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Weixian.
"Haha, if you have anything to do, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely give it to the government." Yang Jing said kindly to Zhang Weixian. The big net he scattered out was soon to get this big fish. British Duke Zhang Weixian is the boss of the nobles. Since he has come forward, it means that the nobles have already decided to invest in Liulizhai. This is exactly what they want. Although they can't control anything, they have no real power, and there is no oil and water to squeeze in, but it is indeed a political force.
How the civil servant group suppresses the emperor and how these nobles are politically a very important force and a force that cannot be ignored. Yang Jing wanted to rely on the power of these nobles. In the future, if he attacked, then in the future, under the entanglement of interests, they would naturally "turn towards themselves". With them shaking flags and shouting, with new troops, border troops, and Jinyiwei as their backing, and with the support of the imperial party in the court, with these, they would have the feasibility of attacking some people.
Zhang Weixian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I am here today, really..." To put it bluntly, it was just about asking the emperor to share the money. Zhang Weixian thought of countless reasons, but it was still a bit impatient when he said it.
"Haha, what's the matter with the Duke of the State? Just say that there are no outsiders here..." Yang Jing encouraged, thinking to himself that if you don't say anything, then I'll just say it. Didn't you just ask me to invest in Liulizhai? I've done so many things, just to keep you online? Do you tie your interests together? If you don't say anything, I'm in a hurry.
"...Your Majesty, this is the case. Today, there are rumors about Liulizhai's investment..." Zhang Weixian held it in for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to put it into words.
"Oh, this matter! I know, haha, may the Duke of the State want to invest in the shares too..." Yang Jingwei wanted to let these nobles invest in the shares immediately. Seeing Zhang Weixian evasive and evasive, he immediately said it himself. If he practices Tai Chi like this, he will continue to talk in a cover-up manner. Zhang Weixian is not in a hurry, and Yang Jingwei is anxious.
Zhang Weixian was about to talk to the emperor in a foggy way, and then took the opportunity to bring the topic to the matter of investing. He was organizing the language to fool the emperor, but the emperor asked himself. Zhang Weixian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his face was worth a little money. The emperor did not embarrass him too much. He quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I have some thoughts. Haha, I am not afraid of your Majesty laughing. Although I am a Duke in name, my life is tight. Haha, I also want to earn some money with Your Majesty and subsidize the household income..." Zhang Weixian admitted based on his old age.
"Hahaha..., this matter? Since the country has spoken publicly, I naturally agreed,..." Yang Jing agreed quickly, thinking that he finally trapped you, and now he lets you follow me to earn two silver dollars. In the future, you will be our axe to cross the river bridge.
Zhang Weixian agreed to the emperor very simply, and his expression became obviously relaxed. He thought that his old face was indeed a little bit of face. He begged the emperor several times, and the emperor gave him his old face very much. It seems that his support has played a great role. It seems that the emperor is still a very affectionate person. It is also a good thing to follow such an emperor. It is much better than the kind-hearted and ruthless person who turns against others.
"...I thank Your Majesty for your kindness,... However, I still have something unknown. I want to ask Your Majesty..." Zhang Weixian sighed for a while, and immediately asked the core question, what was going on with the money?
"Oh, the Duke of the People's Republic of China just asks what he has to do..." Yang Jing said happily. Today is really a happy day. Although Mao Wenlong had a death battle, he posted a lot of things in his own pocket, and the outcome was still a big deal. However, he also gained a lot from Mangui. He even found a big fish in the net, and even silently spread his own net of interests.
Chapter completed!
