Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 960 The Forced Marriage Failed (Eighth)
"Track down the few people who subscribed for the shares of Western companies through the Tokyo branch." Chu Yun pointed out several transactions registered in the books.

The Tokyo branch's account books show that these people bought more than 5 taels of shares in just one hour after the Tokyo branch released the news of preparing to establish a western company.

In the next two days, other merchants bought 2 taels one after another.

Chu Yun overheard Wang Changyuan's complaints, and discovered something strange.When they heard the news about the release of shares by Western companies, they responded within an hour and directly bought 5 taels of shares. Even big businessmen worth millions do not have such courage. At least they need a little time to understand the status of Western companies. Only in specific circumstances can we dare to do so.

Chu Yun immediately relayed the incident to the intelligence officers sent to Edo Castle by telegram.The Intelligence Department has its own password system, and even if a telegraph operator handles the order, they can't understand the meaning of the order sent to the Edo Telegraph Station.

Chu Yun took advantage of the opportunity of setting up a western company to deal with some maritime merchants evading taxes and bribing officials.

After Western companies increased the amount of funds raised from the public from 40 taels of silver to 100 million taels of silver, many businessmen and ordinary people were in an uproar.Not only did they not withdraw their investment, but they became more fanatical, hoping that someone would withdraw and they could subscribe for more shares.In their view, the more popular things are, the more promising they are!
Kyushu Bank's head office and local branches need to cross out those who quit midway based on the original account books, and then conduct a final summary, which will determine the final ownership of the Western company's shares.

While everyone was waiting for the result, there was a commotion in the courtyard of Wu Keshan, the commander of the Monan Cavalry Regiment.

"No, I don't agree!" Da Yuer resolutely refused to back down.

"Father and I have already agreed on a marriage for you. It's useless even if you don't agree. The matter has been settled!" Wu Keshan kept a straight face, and refused to back down.

He knew that once he backed down, his little sister might never want to marry.

"Daughter, what your elder brother said is true. You are not young anymore, and you can't delay your good life for some official career. Today is different from the past. Everyone pursues not only power but also money. With your ability , even if you don’t want to participate in the official career, so what? Find a good family and take care of a property, enough to live comfortably for a lifetime. Besides, our family still has some pastures. Even if you don’t stay in the capital, you can return to the prairie. Yushi, why should a girl stay in the eye of the storm?" Bu He was invited by Wu Keshan to persuade Dayuer.

"It doesn't matter if I don't agree, if you push me hard again, I will sue you according to the law." Da Yuer said angrily.

"You want to sue your elder brother and father?!" Wu Keshan couldn't believe that Da Yuer wanted to sue his family with the law.

"Wu Keshan, don't talk to your younger sister in such a tone!" the aged Bu He shouted at Wu Keshan. He saw many things more plainly than when he was young. It was to scold Wu Keshan.

"Daughter, if you are not satisfied with the family we found for you, we will change to another family until you are satisfied. Or if you have a satisfied family, tell Weifu, Weifu must send someone to matchmaker." Buhe said.

"My lord father, you don't know, my little sister does have someone she likes, but it's not easy to propose a marriage..." Wu Keshan complained on the side.

"Although the Horqin tribe is just a nomadic tribe on the prairie, and our family has no previous power, but the family still manages a pasture and vigorously develops the breeding industry. How many families can support? The other party only needs to marry Dayuer, So what if the other party is a poor scholar?" Bu He asked doubtfully.

"If the other party is just a poor scholar, I'll just tie him up, but it's not that the other party's status is too low, but too high. Our little family will not be taken seriously at all. How can we bring it up?" Wu Keshan frowned.

"Daughter, who is the other party?" Bu He asked Dayu'er seeing that the eldest son, one of the dozen regiment commanders of the Kyushu Army, was helpless.

"My lord, I like him, can you let him marry me?" Da Yuer said resolutely.

"..." After hearing his daughter's voice, Bu He showed the same distressed expression as Wu Keshan.

Sure enough, the opponent was the supreme ruler of a territory of 2000 million square kilometers, and he dealt with major matters involving the empire on weekdays, so he didn't care about a tribe on the Mongolian grassland.

"You have to know that since the large-scale use of firearms and the construction of the large railway on the grassland, our nomadic tribes have been unable to leave the Central Plains. The previous irreconcilable conflicts due to food shortages have gradually become a thing of the past. Our tribe has no right to speak. Strong. Now is the age of the sea, the age of firearms, and the age of steel. Even the cavalry is in danger of being eliminated. To put it mildly, your elder brother is still in the army and can have some influence. Our family also has a pasture , get some dividends every year. But if we want our declining nomadic tribe to put pressure on the military leader, unless my brain is kicked by a horse, it is impossible to do so." Bu He smiled wryly.

"I know, since I've said it, and you guys can't help me propose a marriage, then don't force me. My salary can still support me, and I will live in my own house for a while!" Da Yuer left Wu Keshan's house.

"If I knew I wouldn't give her that house, now she would have a place to escape." Wu Keshan was filled with remorse. Originally, he wanted to give Da Yuer his own courtyard so that she could settle down, but now it seemed that it was counterproductive.

"What are you talking about? Isn't it just to buy a house for your younger sister?" Bu He was dissatisfied with Wu Keshan, "I think it's because you have spoiled her too much and made her more and more tough!"

"Father, I think you dote on her too much? Didn't you also pay for the house this time?" Wu Keshan muttered.

"Stop talking nonsense, you can't solve your sister's marriage, so hurry back to the barracks." Bu He said dissatisfied.

"I'll pack up my things and go back. It's just that the little sister is too difficult. Even if the military master finally wants her, she can only be a small one. How can the members of our golden family be so wronged." Wu Keshan still respects martial arts .

"Your size, Gold, it happened hundreds of years ago, and now it's the world of artillery! As long as my daughter is satisfied, she can do whatever she thinks. I think let her think about it for a year or two, and then she will figure it out. That's all right." Bu He said.
