Looking at the stocks that were as cheap as waste paper in my hand, Qian Rong, who was sitting on the stone railing, was in a state of mind that he was colder than Han Bing. When he thought that he had used all his wealth, he finally came to Guangdong and Guangxi to make a fortune by selling medicinal materials in the sea, but he never expected that he would lose all of them into the stock market.

Because his value suddenly rose to one million silver dollars, he was now penniless and didn't know how to face his tribe members, so he chose to jump into the river and commit suicide.

thump!

Qian Rong is ready to say goodbye to the world.

"One other person seeking death, take him up!"

Yang Feng, who was standing on a civilian soft sailboat, happened to see the money raising and ordered people to raise the money.

When Qian Rong woke up, he saw that he was already in a luxuriously decorated cabin. A middle-aged man who looked very generous was reaching out his fat hand to the little goldfish in the glass tank. After touching it for a while, he asked, "How much did you lose?"

Qian Rong knew that the man was asking him, so he subconsciously replied: "More than 1.2 million yuan, the business bank has gone bankrupt, more than 100 people have no income, and still owes more than 200,000 yuan in bank debts."

After saying that, Qian Rong couldn't help sobbing again. It is said that men will not cry easily. They worked hard for 30 years. Taking advantage of the empire's opening of maritime ban and raising interest-lower loans to the people, he leaped from a waiter in the pharmacy to a wealthy businessman in Liaodong during the Zhengde period, supporting hundreds of families, and donated money to three social schools in his hometown, sponsoring more than ten poor students. Even the former county magistrates were polite to him;

But now everything is gone without vanity. He is a talented person who helps the world and doesn't know how to face the hundreds of families who live on his own. He also regrets that he shouldn't ignore the old man's advice and use all the profits of the pharmaceutical store to invest in stocks.

"Even if you lose so much, there is no need to seek death. Fan can help you pay off your bank debts. I can also accept the people from your business bank for you, but you have to sell you to me!" Fan Yonghe said.

"Sell it to you? But I am a person with a registered residence in the Ming Dynasty and a Han Chinese. The constitutional outline of this dynasty stipulates that no one is allowed to buy and sell citizens of their own country as slaves! Citizens of their own country cannot sell themselves as slaves!" Qian Rongping would also be related to politics and is clearer about the content of the constitutional outline.

"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, if you sell yourself, the court will punish the buyer's crime. At most, your seller will be fined." Fan Yonghe said again: "Anyway, you have a bad life. You can't want your debt to implicate your descendants."

Qian Rong is still a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Fan Yonghe continued to smile and said, "If you don't want to, you can only chop you into meat, make it into canned food, and sell it to the Japanese!"

Qian Rong was also a little scared when he heard this, especially after seeing Fan Yonghe's sinister smile, he had to nod: "Okay, I'll sell myself!"

"Give him a contract! Let him sign it! Brand him, take it out to sea three days later, and sell it to Dafolangjiren (Spain) who came to pick up the goods with other Han people! Guangdong people are always smart and good at doing business, and they are also influenced by the most new trades in the Ming Dynasty. They are definitely willing to buy it at a high price! In addition, continue to buy people in the name of recruiting workers, these people can make a lot of money by selling them to the West."

As Fan Yonghe said that, he took out his telescope and looked at the city of Guangzhou with sails. When he saw the "Xia" flag, he couldn't help but smiled coldly and asked: "I told the people who stayed in Guangzhou to cooperate with Xiabutang well, so that we Shanxi merchants really don't know how to be polite to the people's sleepiness!"

However, the cabinet had already asked the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to send 30,000 stones of grain and 200,000 stones of sweet potatoes to provide relief, which would not have destroyed the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. However, when these officials and gentry were proposed, it really made him admit that these contents were indeed the most violent blow to the new policy!

Zhang Cong found that the Emperor Zhu Houzhao was already a little ashamed, and also knew that the words said by the officials and gentry jointly made the emperor who was eager to reform began to doubt the new policy he had worked hard to manage.

Zhu Houzhao did admit that these officials and gentry were ruthless enough, and they really hit the current problems. Now he was about to worry about whether he should issue an edict to guilt, and even began to doubt whether he was really the second Wang Mang. If he continued to do so, he would only ruin the world.

But at this time, Zhu Houzhao only listened to Kang Hai continuing to recite: "I all know that Your Majesty has new innovations in reforming and eliminating evil, and gaining the will of the late emperor, and wanting to be kind to the people of the world. However, the disadvantages of the new policy are not Your Majesty's fault, but a group of flatterers who use Your Majesty's youth to be eager to deceive Your Majesty and abandon agriculture and commerce. There are Zhang Cong, Wang Shouren, Xia Yan and others, who are nepotism and profit-oriented, have no moral integrity outside, bullying the vassal neighbors and killing officials and gentry, and domineering but not proclaiming benevolence and righteousness, and even misleading the world with their thoughts of deviating from the classics and despicable ideas!

For example, Zhang Cong was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and did not value morality during his election, which led to corruption!

For example, Xia said that he was arbitrarily killing officials, gentry, neighbors and nobles, almost wanting to be king on the sea, but the wealth of the people in Guangdong and Guangxi was gone, and the stock market collapsed was actually caused by his incompetence;

For example, Wang Shouren led hundreds of thousands of troops to ban merchants and retreated, but allowed the market to be opened as usual, so that the Tartars played a caravan and almost broke through the Kaiping and went down to Xuanfu! His crimes must be punished! Your Majesty has been in the deep palace for a long time and is inevitably bullied by villains..."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, she gradually realized something was wrong. She thought that since she was discussing the gains and losses of her own government, how could it be impeached? These officials and gentry’s goals were impure. After all, they would not really care about the lives and deaths of the common people, but they just used them as an excuse to criticize people who were dissatisfied with them.

Meng Chun, who had been silent, saw the impatient expression on Zhu Houzhao's face, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, saying, "It's a waste of effort! Sun Sui and others submitted memorials to the people, and they wrote memorials to the people. Why did they impeach them? How could they not know that the new policy can be today? They are all led by Your Majesty. If it is really criticized for the current ills, Your Majesty may change it. They may even think that Zhang Cong, Xia Yan and others are difficult to reuse. But now this mention means that Zhang Cong, Xia Yan and others are making decisions for the people and are criticized by the powerful!"

Meng Chun knew that he could not stand up at this time, so he let Kang Hai finish reading the memorial.

Zhu Houzhao also finished listening to the memorial content at this time, and asked Kang Hai to hand over the memorial to himself. He then walked to the candlestick and put the memorials jointly written by hundreds of retired officials to ignite them by the candlelight. The flames gradually swallowed the memorials, and gradually turned the memorials written by hundreds of retired officials into ashes.

"I just pretend that this incident has never happened. I don't want all the ministers to attack each other by taking advantage of the shortcomings of the new policy! Xia Yan, Wang Shouren, Zhang Cong and others were recommended by the ministers. I chose it. No matter whether they are traitors or loyal, they will be commented by later generations. But if you want to use the bodies of common people to build a party dispute in the court, it is truly a mistake for the country and the people!"

Zhu Houzhao threw the burning memo into the basin.

Meng Chun, the Minister of Personnel, couldn't help but widen his eyes. He knew that the officials and gentry in the people had obviously made His Majesty's dragon vein wrong, but he did not expect His Majesty to burn the memorial directly.

Kang Hai didn't expect it and just asked: "What Your Majesty said is, but this is a hundred of them after all."

Zhu Houzhao interrupted him: "Since he is a retired official, he has no power to participate in politics and make decisions! Why not burn it? Can he really represent the Constitution of the Ming Dynasty?"

When Kang Hai heard this, he nodded and said yes.

Zhang Cong breathed a sigh of relief, secretly admired the Emperor Zhu Houzhao for distinguishing the pros and cons, knowing that this was not as simple as discussing current affairs, but burning the memorial was undoubtedly a loud slap to some important officials in the court with dissatisfaction, making them understand that His Majesty is not so easy to fool.

Although Meng Chun was disappointed, he did not admit that he dared to underestimate His Majesty. At present, he could only sigh that it was no different to expecting those officials and gentry who made a fortune by taking advantage of some loopholes in the new policy to help him maintain Confucian orthodoxy.

...

Zhu Houzhao did not call Xia Yan back or denounce Xia Yan. He knew better than anyone else that this phenomenon in stock prices was ultimately because he didn’t know much about finance. After all, he was just a science and engineering student in later generations, and was not a stock god like Buffett. He only had a slight understanding of modern things like stocks and securities. Fortunately, he had the help of Xu Jing, business geniuses of this era and mathematicians like Wang Wensu to build the Ming Securities and Financial Industry.

Now, some people with ulterior motives have exploited loopholes in some rules they have set. Zhu Houzhao also felt that this was inevitable. Xia Yan, a civil servant, could not notice these disadvantages in advance, but it was impossible for someone more suitable to deal with the stock market crash in Guangdong and Guangxi instead.

However, Zhu Houzhao still sent Xu Jing to take a huge amount of 50 million silver dollars to rescue the market to stabilize the Ming Dynasty's financial market. At the same time, Xu Jing also provided some help to Xia Yan. After all, in terms of business and money speculation, as the father of the Ming Dynasty's bank, Xu Jing is much more experienced than Xia Yan, and also knows better those chaebols who eat people behind their backs and don't spit bones.

Zhu Houzhao was the emperor and could not go to Guangdong and Guangxi in person. Even if he went there personally, he needed the help of Xu Jing and others. Moreover, he still had wars in the north that needed to be dealt with.

Duoyan Weihua colluded with Tumote's troops because he refused to increase his tribute, and the Korqin troops sent 100,000 troops to attack. This was undoubtedly a provocation to him. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had to punish these Tartars severely!

What Xu Jing, who was already fifty years old, would not have thought that he had lived only thirty years in his original history, but because he was valued by the emperor in this life, he was full of energy and was still steadily even in his life, with a black hair on his head and a bigger belly, which was no different from a woman who was pregnant for ten months.

"Shihu! When you go to Guangdong and Guangxi, how do you plan to help Xiamentang handle the affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi?" My friend Tang Bohu rushed to the dock at this time and asked Xu Jing.

"Of course, it will make those bad merchants lose all their money! Don't forget that Your Majesty has given me the right to transfer the Jinyiwei to the advantage. I am still in the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei. If Xu Jing can't fight them at that time, I will not have to be impeached by the Censor and commit suicide on the Pearl River!"

Xu Jing said, then bowed and said, "Goodbye!"

"Wait, I just let them lose all their money. You don't plan to bring them to justice?" Tang Bohu asked.

"That is the authority of Xiabutang. However, I would advise Xiabutang not to do this, because they just exploited loopholes in the new policy, but did not violate the laws of our Ming Dynasty. You and I have been following His Majesty for many years. Naturally, we should understand that the dignity of the law cannot be blasphemed!"

Xu Jing said again: "And, the fundamental reason for this happening in Guangdong and Guangxi this time is not them, but us. It is us who planners for His Majesty who do not realize these loopholes and have some shortcomings in formulating rules, which has made them take advantage of loopholes. Now, what Brother Yu wants is to try to make up for these loopholes and re-form the rules, and it is best to let these profiteers participate. If they want to avoid being exploited in the future, they must also make the rules more perfect!"

"What, you actually want to change the rules, and those profiteers need to participate. Do you know what they did, forcing the people of the Ming Dynasty to commit suicide, or even be sold as slaves! They should be severely punished. Besides, the rules were confirmed by Your Majesty, so how can they be changed at will!" Tang Bohu said.

"Your Majesty is also a human being, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence!" Xu Jing replied.

"No, Your Majesty is a God, Your Majesty is the Emperor, and you have obtained Su Hui. Otherwise, you wouldn't have known so much. Even if the poems are above you and me, how can you question Your Majesty!" Tang Bohu became a little angry.

"Bohu, what Your Majesty himself said is not a God, and I don't want to argue with you. I believe Your Majesty will support me!"

Xu Jing continued.

"Even if Your Majesty is a human being, he is not an ordinary person!" Tang Bohu shouted loudly. What he couldn't accept now was not that Xu Jing wanted to change the stock market rules, but that Xu Jing actually had a conflict with him in his evaluation of Your Majesty.

Of course, he himself had to start thinking now how his Majesty, who had served for almost twenty years, evaluated whether it was God or what he said about man, what is the difference between God and man?

...

Zhu Houzhao is not like Tang Bohu, a literary youth who is full and has nothing to do. He is struggling with meaningless things every day. Now he has begun to head north. Last night, he chatted with Yang Yiqing and Gui E and other court officials who are familiar with border affairs for a night, which made him deeply realize that he must take advantage of this Huadang big attack to systematically handle the affairs of the entire northern system.

At present, the commodity economy in the south is developing faster and faster, and there are more and more disadvantages. It has even begun to gradually affect the north. A large number of dry fields have begun to appear in the north by farmers to plant cotton. In addition, with the colder climate, the empire's ability to control the north will be greatly affected. There will even be a strategy of the empire having to give up the strategy of marching the north and opening up northern territory in order to stabilize the southern economy.

To this end, Zhu Houzhao must find a new way out for the Ming Dynasty to advance together.

And war may be an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, the troops of Li Min, the Marquis of Fengcheng, have already left Jizhou, the troops of Zhao Zhen, have already left Yulin, and the troops of Lu Gang, have already arrived in Daning. In addition, the general secretary Wang Shouren also mobilized the border troops of Datong, Ji Liao, Taiyuan and other border troops to reinforce Xinghe. Basically, the entire Xuanfu formed two routes, one route was the border troops of various places that the general secretary Wang Shouren has now mobilized. Here, the former army ordered it. Although Huadang was fierce, it was not a big problem for the front army to repel Huadang;

But what we are worried about now is that once Huadang is repelled, it will take the opportunity to rob each border town, making our border troops exhausted. Therefore, the guards we are mobilized at the moment can be the rear army. With the arc of Daning, Changyang and Guangning, we will march towards the old nest of Duoyanwei first, and then sweep the Korqin north;

As for the Tumote tribe, I believe that the Yongxibu tribe, Ordos tribe, and the female direct governor Suhete, etc., can encircle and suppress the Tumote tribe eastward!

Since they have been vain to our Ming Dynasty, they have to contribute to our Ming Dynasty, so that they can kill each other. My Ming Dynasty can also use a knife to kill people. If they are unwilling to be ordered to fight, then my Ming Dynasty will also have an excuse to destroy them in the future!"

Yang Yiqing pushed the wheelbarrow to Zhu Houzhao and pointed to the sand table and said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "As you said, I will immediately issue an edict to Yongxiebu's troops, Ordos's troops, and Suhete's troops, so that they can immediately send troops to suppress Tumote's troops!"

As Zhu Houzhao said, he couldn't help but look at a concrete road leading directly to Xuanfu outside the window, and asked Yang Yiqing: "Yang Qing, have you ever blamed me, blamed me for destroying your legs for the law?"

After hearing this, Yang Yiqing was stunned: "Thunder and rain are all for the sake of the king. Your Majesty does not abolish the law because of personal love. This is what a wise king does. I have no resentment. Taking bribes is a crime for me. I should have been punished. Your Majesty does not use my military affairs because of my disability. I still use my military affairs for military purposes. I am grateful and I dare not have any resentment."

"It is naturally good if you can think so. You said, if this cement road connects Liaodong, Jizhou, Xuanfu, Kaiping, Yingchang, Helin and other places, build high walls, pull iron nets, immigrants and build cities, and then manages these Tartars' parts, can it eliminate the threat of the northern Tartars!" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Your Majesty's strategy is a good strategy, but it takes a long time. I believe that Your Majesty should give these Tartars a heavy blow at the moment, and it is best to use a butcher's knife to let them understand who is the real hero on the grassland. Otherwise, these Tartars will not obey our Ming Dynasty rule. The Tartars have always regarded the strong as respect. If Your Majesty slaughtered first and then ruled them, and the tribes disrupted the organization, they can be the common rule of the world!"

Yang Yiqing suggested based on his years of experience in the border town.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "What you said is that this Kaiping Siege also made me realize this. Although Tartars are spread throughout the north and are difficult to eliminate, sometimes to make them obey our Ming Dynasty, we have to use tough measures!"

While Zhu Houzhao was talking, Guo Rong, the Jinyiwei, ran over: "Your Majesty, the report from the General Secretary Wang Shouren, the leader of the Doroth tribe, commanded the Tongzhi Jiabao, intending to betray Duoyanwei and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Please see Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly took the memorial and looked at it, and immediately gave it to Yang Yiqing. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that after the little prince was cut by me, the Mongolian tribes are really dispersed than before. It is very difficult for this flower to be the descendant of a general of Genghis Khan, and it is very difficult to be the leader of Mongolia!"

After seeing it, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty wants to see this Jiabao?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Not only do I want to see you, I will also change the land and return to the land and build an open palace, and draft an order to change the area under the Doroth tribe to Yingchang Prefecture, Jiabao was promoted to Kanzhou Bo, and was granted the title of Kanzhou County in Australia in Ming Dynasty (now Canberra, Australia)!"
Chapter completed!
