Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 361 The stock market crashed, Jinyiwei suffered heavy losses (please subscribe!!)

Time flies and several months have passed.

As Ouyang Lun expected, with the increase in unfinished buildings, unfinished roads and other unfinished buildings, the people of the four southern provinces have completely reacted. Even with the high-pressure policies of the local government, they still cannot stop the surging reputation.

The stock market began to crash.

Chief Secretary's Office of Guangdong Province.

Li Shanchang sat on the chair with a gloomy face, and news about the situation in various places came like snowflakes.

The master next to him kept reading these messages.

"A riot broke out at a construction site in Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. Workers occupied the local county government office. Officers and soldiers from the guard station are on their way. Please give instructions to the Grand Master."

"Businessmen in Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province go on strike"

"Guangdong Province."

"That's enough!" Li Shanchang roared angrily, "These unscrupulous people were all very happy when they were making money, but now there's just something wrong, and it's like they are going to die!"

"How stupid!"

"Master Taishi, it's not good. Some officials have begun to sell their stocks."

Upon hearing the news, Li Shanchang vomited blood and fainted.

The four southern provinces were in chaos.

The master trembled all over, then opened another piece of news, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Master Taishi, there is good news. There is a businessman named Hei who has visited several construction sites that have been suspended in the past few days. He seems to be very powerful. ! But the price offered by this black boss is very low, and he also wants absolute say in these construction sites."

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was directly directed at Jigang, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

"Ji Gang!!"

"What happened to the stock market? What on earth are you talking about!" Li Shanchang was extremely anxious.

"County magistrates and prefects from all over the country are now asking whether they should sell the construction sites in their hands to this shady boss?"

"Yes, I will reply right away."

"What the hell, as long as this person can restart the construction site, pay wages to those unscrupulous people, and pay off the suppliers, it doesn't matter if he gives it to him for free!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is now gnashing his teeth.

puff--

In order to build this stock exchange, Li Shanchang conducted an in-depth study of the North Zhili Stock Exchange. He knew very well that if the government did not take over the business, the stock market would collapse and the wealth in the stock market would be wiped out. Zero, which also means that his operations in the four southern provinces in the past two years will be wiped out. What is even more terrifying is that those people who have lost their lifetime wealth are afraid of directly rebelling! !

The voice just fell.

At this moment, an official ran in in a panic.

Li Shanchang could no longer suppress it, and all kinds of news spread into the capital like snowflakes.

Li Shanchang's face finally looked better.

Ji Gang said helplessly.

"I gave him the four southern provinces to Li Shanchang, but this is the answer he gave me??!"

"As long as these construction sites can get back up and running, the stock market will rise accordingly, and then the problem will be solved."

He originally recognized Li Shanchang and chose to give Li Shanchang more opportunities. However, the situation in the four southern provinces became increasingly uncontrollable. If he did not take action, the Ming Dynasty would be lost.

"But this time we Jin Yiwei are also the victims!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was meeting with Song Lian, Lu Chang, Guo Zi and other important ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When he saw the news, his face turned green with anger.

"Your Majesty, this time the general failed in his duty!"

“Those who should be suppressed should be arrested and arrested!”

Another official ran in hurriedly.

"What do you Jin Yiwei do for food?"

"what!"

"The stock market has collapsed. People have sold their stocks despite the government's ban. The government can only take back these stocks, but the government's funds have bottomed out." The official said hurriedly: "Master Taishi, we should now what to do?"

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's roaring questioning.

"what!"

"What should I do? I just kept picking up the phone! We must not let the stock market collapse, otherwise something big will happen!"

The master nodded.

At this moment, he realized that what the four businessmen who complained a few months ago were all true, and in fact it was more serious than what they said.

"Master Taishi, it's not good, the stock market is stock market."

"Didn't I ask you to investigate? Why are the four southern provinces in such chaos, but there is no news at all from your Jin Yiwei!"

"Damn it! Isn't there some good news?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his hands and his double curtains turned red.

Li Shanchang said angrily.

"Okay! Very good!"

Ji Gang really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Um! ?

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "Ji Gang, not only have you become bolder now, but you have also become more tactful! I am going to punish you for the crime of dereliction of duty by the Jin Yiwei, but you should cry to me first!"

"What does this matter have to do with Jin Yiwei? Is it possible that Li Shanchang still dares to attack Jin Yiwei??"

Ji Gang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said bravely: "Your Majesty, Taishi Li did not attack our Jinyiwei. It's just that the southern stock market collapsed. The Royal Grilled Fish and Jinyi Fried Chicken operated by our Jinyiwei suffered a huge loss in the stock market. Now even the members of Jinyiwei have lost money." Salaries can no longer be paid out, and now the royal guards in the four southern provinces are following the troublemaking workers, businessmen, and ordinary people to cause trouble with the local officials!"

"So the message is on"

"That's enough! Stop talking!" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his head was smoking. "You don't think it's embarrassing, but I still think it's embarrassing!"

"You bastard! The dignified Jin Yiwei actually ran to speculate in stocks. You guys are really pissed off!"

Ji Gang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is now responsible for its own profits and losses. It earns its salary and welfare by itself. Jin Yiwei is also the first group to come into contact with the stock market. Everyone thinks that the southern stock market will keep rising like the northern stock market, and so does everyone. I wanted to make more money to support my family, but I never expected that the Southern Stock Market would collapse!" "However, failing to deliver the news back in time was a failure of our Jin Yiwei and a failure of leadership by the general."

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and was too angry to talk to Ji Gang.

"What happened to Li Shanchang! Didn't he just say in the memorial that the four southern provinces are developing very well? How come they collapsed like this so quickly!?"

To be honest, even now, Zhu Yuanzhang is still confused. The situation in the four southern provinces collapsed too quickly.

The people complained, businessmen went on strike, and workers went on strike. The government was attacked by the angry workers, people, businessmen, etc. It was like the people's uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty!

The chaos in the four southern provinces directly shattered Zhu Yuanzhang's dream of creating a prosperous Hongwu era. This was like a slap in the face!

Fortunately, there is currently only a collective resistance by the common people, workers, and businessmen, and there is no real uprising of the common people. As long as we take action to stop it, we should be able to save the situation.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, a messenger ran in.

"Report!"

"Urgent report from the four southern provinces 800 miles away!"

"Your Majesty, Chen Tong of Quanzhou in Fujian rebelled and attacked Yong'an, Dehua and Anxi counties. Sun Gupu of Zhejiang gathered a crowd to rebel and called himself the Yellow Turban. He attacked Ningbo Prefecture and killed his fellow magistrates. Cao Zhen and Su Wenqing of Guangzhou rebelled with tens of thousands of people and fought. There were 1,800 ships. Jiang Zhixian, a citizen of Fu'an County, Fujian, gathered 8,000 people to rebel. Wu Yi'er, the king of Guangdong, gathered tens of thousands of people to rebel. Xia San, a citizen of Ganzhou, Jiangxi, gathered tens of thousands of people to rebel!"

Forehead.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

With the current situation in the four southern provinces, he had thought that people would rebel, but he never expected that it would happen so quickly and in such large numbers!

"Li Shanchang deserves to die!"

Zhu Yuanzhang roared angrily.

"Ji Gang, I won't argue with you about what happened before. Now you go to the four southern provinces immediately and clarify it for me!"

"Yes!" Ji Gang knew very well that this was definitely his last chance. If he didn't find out the matter, what awaited him might be the same fate as the previous two predecessors Mao Xiang and Jiang Wei, or even worse.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will definitely get to the bottom of it!"

After speaking, Ji Gang stepped back.

After Ji Gang left, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Song Lian."

"The old minister is here."

"Immediately prepare a decree for me and tell the people of the four southern provinces that they must trust the imperial court. The imperial court will definitely give them an explanation for this matter!"

"Yes!" Song Lian agreed.

"Lu Chang."

"The old minister is here."

"Go to the Ministry of War!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment. "Guangdong and Fujian ordered Zhao Yong to lead 15,000 infantry, cavalry and boats. In addition, Guangdong's army led by Zhang Hui, who participated in the political affairs of Yantun and thousands of households, jointly To suppress the rebellion, Jiangxi sent Hu Hai, Chen Huan, and Ye Sheng with 50,000 troops to suppress the rebellion! We must be quick. Only the bandit leader will be killed, and the rest of the rebelling people will not be held accountable as long as they surrender!"

"Yes!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang made arrangements, all the ministers received their errands and left, except for Guo Zi, the Minister of Household Affairs.

A somewhat tired Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Guo Zi, "Guo Zi, tell me, why did the situation in the four southern provinces deteriorate so quickly?"

Guo Zi also frowned at this moment, "Your Majesty, I haven't figured it out for a while. Logically speaking, before this, all aspects of taxation in the four southern provinces were relatively normal, and our Ministry of Revenue has not found any fraud. , this question may need to be clarified by asking Ouyang Prince Consort."

"You want me to beg that guy Ouyang Lun?! Hmm!!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Guo Zi fiercely.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean. It's just that Ouyang Prince Consort's understanding in this regard is unparalleled. Perhaps to truly solve the problem, it has to be Ouyang Prince Consort!" Although Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, Guo Zi's heart was trembling, but Nanfang The situation in the four provinces deteriorated too quickly. Guo Zi knew very well that just sending people to investigate and send troops to suppress was just a temporary solution and could not solve the problem at all.

"Humph! I don't believe it anymore. Without Ouyang Lun, my Ming Dynasty will not be able to operate!"

"The Accounts Department will check the accounts and let me check them bit by bit, even if there is a little clue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang growled.

"Yes! I will do my best!"

Guo Zi had no choice but to agree.

Half a month later.

All ministers gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony again.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes passed over these ministers one by one, and finally stopped on Ji Gang, "Ji Gang, first tell me what you found out in the four southern provinces!"

Ji Gang took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I have been investigating the four southern provinces for several days and finally figured it out."

"Since Taishi Li began to manage the four southern provinces, he began to adopt a comprehensive policy strategy similar to that of Beizhili, mainly focusing on the stock market and infrastructure construction. The results were indeed very good at the beginning. The infrastructure construction created a large number of job opportunities and people joined in. During the construction of roads and bridges, various trading companies were opened, and trading companies continued to go public. When people had money, they began to buy stocks to make money. Both infrastructure and the stock market made major gains. This is also the development of the four southern provinces in the past two years. Quick reason!"

Hearing Ji Gang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "This is no different from what he understood!"

"Stocks and infrastructure are Ouyang Lun's two axes. That guy also relied on these two to develop Beizhili rapidly. Since Li Shanchang has followed the same example, why are there still problems?"

Ji Gang continued to answer: "General. The analysis problem should be that Grand Master Li has taken too big steps. In order to let the four southern provinces catch up with Northern Zhili, more road and bridge construction projects have been started, and at the same time, they have begun For the construction of new cities, many project funds are invested in the stock market through the issuance of bonds.”

"This is no problem at first, but the more things are repaired, the greater the funds required, and the more interest is given. The money in the hands of the people is not endless. When the people have no money, they can buy stocks, During the bond issue, many projects had to be suspended due to lack of funds. When the projects were suspended, workers could not be paid, and merchants could not pay off their goods, and problems suddenly emerged."

"The common people, workers, and businessmen lost confidence in the government overnight and sold off their stocks and bonds one after another. At first, the government spent money to collect them, but when it became clear that they could not collect all the money, the government also sold out, which directly led to the collapse of the southern stock market, and many people A lifetime of savings was in vain, workers did not receive their salaries, ordinary people could not survive, and their resentment towards the government reached its peak. They were slightly beguiled by some people with ulterior motives and joined the ranks of the rebels."

"The reason why it came out at this time is mainly because the government has been suppressing it in the early stage, and the people's grievances have also been squeezing out."

Listening to Ji Gang's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod. Although he was filled with anger, he still praised: "Ji Gang, you did a good job this time. I didn't misjudge you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ji Gang's face lit up, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief inside.

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, which means that what happened before is in the past.

However, this time Jinyiwei was really too big. Not to mention the losses suffered by Jinyiwei members from stock trading, the stocks of Royal Grilled Fish and Jinyi Fried Chicken also fell to the lowest value.

You need to be cautious when trading stocks!

Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction with Li Shanchang reached its peak at this moment.

"Li Shanchang has really become more confused as he gets older. He followed Ouyang Lun's method and ended up like this!"

"It's so stupid! How did he guarantee me when he went to the four southern provinces? He said that he would run the four southern provinces better than Beizhili! What happened?!"

"Now that the matter is clear, can any of you tell me what I need to do to solve this problem!!!"
