Chapter 520: The Road of Capitalism Going Farther and Farther
Under the night, the magnificent Fengle Tower is like a fortress guarding Yong Kinmen, standing on the shore of West Lake. The lights on the water are dotted and swimming non-stop, all of which are ships carrying Taigong. On the lake embankment, there are also soldiers holding torches, which makes people feel like they are facing a great enemy.
"Tai Shi, the east bank of West Lake has been completely blocked, and the Yongjin Gate Tower is prohibited from waiting for the idlers."
Judian replied loudly. He is now carrying out a unique "suicide warning" and his mission is to prevent late-appointed speculators who have lost all their wealth from jumping to West Lake and jumping to the city gate.
He had moved to the third floor of Fengle Building and was drinking with Qu Huajie. After listening to his cousin's report, he just sighed slightly: "A few appointments can kill people, which is probably called killing people invisible, right? Shui Jing's husband, is such a good skill!"
Qu Huajie said: "This is not Qu's ability, but Chen Taigong's strategy. In Taigong's view, Chi Yue can not only kill people, but also destroy the country..."
"The Song Dynasty was destroyed by Chiyou?" Jia Wu>false>Shidao smiled bitterly, gently turning the wine glass in his hand, "Maybe the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the treacherous minister Jia Sidao?"
Qu Huajie nodded silently. The Song Dynasty is really about to perish! Not only because the late appointment speculation seriously impacted the economy of Jiangnan, but also because of the profit of more than 20 million yuan (the remaining profits of the grain market speculatively following Tiandaozhuang), it was enough for the Northern Ming finance to not rely on the shared maritime trade with the Southern Song Dynasty for a year.
Even if there is no profit of a penny at sea, Beiming can maintain it and there is enough military expenditure to launch a war to invade Jiangnan!
In the Song Dynasty, the economy suffered a heavy blow, and a large number of money shops went bankrupt. Even temples were affected, and a lot of them were probably dumped. And depositors who saved money in temples and money shops were implicated innocently... This crisis pattern is really a bit like the subprime mortgage crisis in later generations.
However, what hit the Southern Song Dynasty even more severely was the separation of people's hearts!
Now I don’t know how many wealthy and powerful scholar-official families have been hit by this chinese trend. The owner of the grain merchant, the backstage boss of the money shop, or the speculators who mortgaged the land. Among the people who left Fengle Tower with a dejected head, there were many people wearing official uniforms. In addition, there were many big men in the court. As for those who were idle and innocent, who had lost everything and lost everything in this hype.
And each of them would not be willing to accept the consequences of losing all their wealth...
Early tomorrow morning, all-round struggles will begin. The guy who mortgages the land deeds will definitely try his best to deny them. And the money houses and temples that hold various contracts mortgaged by others will also try every means to force debts. And the depositors of the money in the temple will go crazy and run.
Moreover, everyone will use a relationship and power to protect their property. The Jiangnan literati group, which was originally united, will definitely become divided due to the disputes of interest arising from the failure of late appointment speculation. Now, Jiangnan literati is not as good as before. They have all organized group training and have a knife in their hands. They are really anxious and can't suppress them!
It seems that the trick of organizing a group training to replace the martial artist is still a bit of sequelae.
But for Jia Sidao, what's worse is that no one in the entire Jiangnan officialdom knows that he is the general backstage for this late appointment hype!
Of course, they will take it for granted. Jia Sidao is the real big winner. When everyone loses money, the biggest winner is undoubtedly the guy who is most hated.
Jia Sidao really couldn't clean it even if he jumped into West Lake this time!
"Things are already like this. I think Chen Junzhi wouldn't hand over the money scraped from the deal just because Jia detained Shui Jing's husband, right?"
"Of course not. Qu can be worth up to 2 million guan." Qu Shuijing smiled bitterly, "If the Grand Master is not afraid of it, Qu will write a letter to Zhoushan Island."
The most reward for Tiandaozhuang in this late-appointment speculation was 20 million. Ten percent, that is, 2 million guan, was a reward from Fatty Qu, which was promised by Chen Huaiqing, and it was supposed to be arithmetic.
"So, how much money does it cost to save Chiyou's market?"
"This... I'm afraid 100 million stakes are not enough!"
"Why?"
"Because Chiyou is not worth much... Chiyou's value is linked to the price of grain after all. The Grand Master thinks that the price of rice in Jiangnan can be maintained in the long run? In the Zhenjiang rice market, the rice can reach Chiyou forever, and the price is already sky-high. In this way, Chiyou is worth at most a dozen coins. How can it maintain a high of hundreds of coins? Chiyou has risen every day before, and everyone is blinded by lard, and only sees the risk of profit. But now it has such a big drop, so many people jump off buildings and lakes and lose money. This is a profound lesson!"
When capitalist countries encounter financial storms in later generations, the reason why it is often difficult to save is also here. When it rises, everyone is hot and blindly looking at it. However, once it plummets several times, a lot of negative teaching materials are created, and naturally everyone knows that they are afraid. At this time, government funds are promoted, which is just an opportunity for investors who did not leave the market in time to launch a timely manner in the early stage, especially some large investors with clear minds and strong strength.
"It's really impossible to save it." Jia Sidao sighed. He had known this answer for a long time, but he just didn't give up.
Qu Shuijing's eyes were dripping, and while looking at Jia Sidao's face, he was thinking about how to get out. Jia Sidao now seemed like a gambler who had lost his eyes. If he didn't give him any hope, he would be afraid that this guy would be angry and chop him up with a knife!
But how do you have to fool Jia Sidao?
After being silent for a while, Fatty Qu suddenly had a bright look in front of him, and he looked at Jia Sidao and said, "Trial Master, in fact, this market is not unsuccessful..."
"There is still a rescue?" Jia Sidao asked suspiciously, "How to save him?"
"Of course there is a rescue!" Fatty Qu gritted his teeth and said carefully, "Although it is not easy, there are still solutions... First of all, the market is closed, and all transactions, mortgages, and settlements related to Chiyou must be stopped. Chiyou Trading Halls in Lin'an, Qingyuan, Quanzhou, Zhenjiang and other places must be controlled and no longer trades are allowed.
The second is to clean up the plates of Chiyou. The number of Chiyou is issued by whom issuing it. I am afraid that no one can figure it out now. I don’t even know this, so why are you talking about rescuing the market? Therefore, the court must set up a special yamen... Well, it is best not to directly manage the court, but to form a chamber of commerce by the private Chiyou Hall and the big money house. To do this, we will first find out the number of Chiyou and the issuer. Then we will set some Chiyou and other similar coupon transactions and transactions. We will be responsible for supervising the sale and collecting taxes in the future.
Again, it is to calm people's hearts. To let everyone know the attitude of the court to stabilize the Jiangnan market, it also needs to come up with a rough plan that seems feasible. This person's heart is certain, and the Song Dynasty court will have time to turn around and move around."
What Qu Shuijing said about "chill appointments in the Chamber of Commerce" and "transaction supervision" were actually not what he thought of. It was actually not the plan he had written by himself. It was the plan to establish a "security trading market" that Chen Dexing gave to Tiandaozhuang. In Chen Dexing's plan, Zhoushan Shenjiamen is an international financial center! Of course, there must be stocks, futures, bonds, exchanges and other trading markets.
“A rough and feasible solution?”
Jia Sidao raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that Fatty Qu was probably talking nonsense, he was now a time to be a living person. Thinking about the scene where a group of literati and military officials pulled the corps out to fight a civil war due to a dispute over a late appointment, Jia Sidao regretted that he wanted to jump off Fengle Tower.
"... Now half of Jiangnan is trapped by Chiyou, and Chiyou will reach the deadline on September 15 this year. At that time, it will be a piece of waste paper! In this way, all the loans and mortgages associated with Chiyou will become bad debts. All the money houses that have accepted Chiyou will have to close down. All the money houses that have been deposited in these money houses and depositors in the temple will lose a large amount of money."
Qu Shuijing said very slowly, thinking while slowly saying: "To solve the current dead situation in Jiangnan, we can only start with Chiyou... either extend the Chiyou period, or convert Chiyou into Mishang's shares, and turn Chiyou into stocks."
"Stock?" When Jia Sidao heard this word, he had a very bad premonition. These strange new words were mostly invented by the rebel Chen Dexing. Moreover, this new thing was mostly of no benefit to the Song Dynasty.
"It means to split the shares of a certain grain bank into tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and print a stock for each one. Then exchange a few late appointments for one stock."
"I made an appointment to exchange stocks?" Jia Sidao shook his head, "How could those grain merchants agree? I'm afraid the court can't force a pressure on such a thing?"
The Southern Song Dynasty court may not be able to suppress it, but Jia Sidao needs to be more low-key. This chinese storm must have had a great impact on his prestige. Moreover, wars have broken out between Chizhou and Huaidong. If there is any further disadvantage, his Pingzhang military and national affairs will be over.
"I will agree," Qu Shuijing smiled and pointed at himself, and said with a smile, "As long as Qu Cai God from Tiandaozhuang comes forward, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."
Of course there is no problem when he goes to the negotiation, because he still has more than 100,000 late appointments issued by various rice merchants, and he will not waste the Tiandaozhuang money. Once the issuance of new late appointments that expire on September 15th is prohibited, Qu Shuijing is confident that the late appointment price and the rice price will be pushed up together, forcing all major rice merchants in Jiangnan to death.
Qu Shuijing paused for a moment and said, "However, Qu has three conditions."
"Tell me."
"First, Tiandaozhuang can open a semicolon in various parts of Jiangnan; second, a securities trading chamber is established in Qingyuan Prefecture, responsible for supervising all securities trading and tax collection, including Chi Yue; third, the president of the securities trading chamber is my Qu Shuijing."
