Chapter 159 Wang Shouren’s shock! Enlightenment in prison? Liu Jin: We still lose ?

"The Ming Dynasty is so rich!"

"Father, did you see that?"

"It's all money!"

"It's all people!"

"It's unbelievable that they have so many people and so much money!"

"There's really gold everywhere!"

Under this crazy transaction, several Portuguese people in another place who were completely out of the situation were also shocked by this scene.

Captain Fisher's whole body trembled, as if he had already seen the day when he would become a member of the Ming Dynasty.

They were not able to see the previous crisis at Jinling Bank.

But in this scene tonight, when they were allowed to leave the palace, they saw a scene that was beyond their knowledge.

people! from! Everyone! money! money! money!
No city in Europe at the same period could have such a scale!
The three largest cities in Europe in the 16th century: Paris, Naples and Venice, each had a population of about 15. The other three cities with a population of more than 10 are Seville, Genoa, and Milan. They are all located on the seaside, riverside or trade centers.

During the same period, there were anywhere between 4 and 50 thousand people gathered in Jinling of the Ming Dynasty, an exaggeration of one million people.

The Ming Dynasty during this period was definitely the beacon and center of the world.

What's more, this scene of financial focus once again showed the wealth of Ming Dynasty in front of their group of foreign bumpkins.

This has an even greater impact on them.

Especially... the crazy trading on the street caused some panicked people to scatter their money all over the place. This scene was too exciting for the eyes.

"I see it, God! What a prosperous country we have come to!"

"Fisher, maybe you're right!"

"We should serve the Ming Dynasty! How pious they are!"

"If we can get them to join the church, how much money will our church have?"

Father Thomas read several passages from the Bible in an attempt to calm down his excitement, but then he found that he could not calm down at all.

He seemed to see these crazy people becoming members of their church.

“What a beautiful scenery!”

"Is this really heaven? Maybe heaven is not so beautiful!"

The girl Yiwen was also shocked, but her focus was on the colorful lights on the street, and she was attracted by the beautiful Jinling under the night. It was her first time to see such a beautiful scenery.

Needless to say, the other Portuguese people all made strange noises.

However, their actions did not attract anyone's attention.

Because there is someone crazier than them!

"Haha! Get rich, get rich!"

"Silver, it's all silver! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you Taizu!"

On Xihua Street, some people who had received silver in exchange were even more crazy. They could not help but kowtow to the palace to express their gratitude. This was definitely the greatest wealth they had ever come into contact with. At this time, their hearts were filled with only gratitude, endless gratitude.

"Look at your useless looks..."

"The treasure banknotes will definitely not be at this price! I sell them so early! You will suffer a huge loss!"

It's just that some of the people holding precious banknotes despise the worthlessness of these common people and don't envy them at all.

"Enough...enough! It's really enough! Haha, I'm not greedy anymore, I've had enough..."

The person who was laughed at did not refute, but quickly collected the money and wanted to be safe. After all, no one knows how much he paid for his treasure banknotes.

However, there are always a minority of people who just give up when things get better.

"Hehe, it's safe to settle for now! If it gets lower than this later, I can just buy it back!"

"Dream! So many big bookmakers have joined today! Today is the last day of eleven transactions! It must be higher every time! You still want to wait for the lowest point, don't be too greedy!"

"You are just greedy! The value of the treasure is already high enough..."

For a moment, those who completed the transaction and those who were waiting and watching began to argue.

Scenes like this happened everywhere. Some people said they were safe, and walked a few steps noisily... then turned around and came back, saying that they just took one more look at such a lively scene and went home.

"crazy……"

"People's hearts!"

Tang Bohu and the others were immersed in the situation and had a panoramic view of the various expressions and performances of the leeks, as if they saw something deeper behind this transaction.

"Chang Gu, there seems to be an error in the three chapters of our main hall's agreement."

“There’s no rule against gambling.”

"I discovered that there are still many people in the main hall who have joined in. Do you want to remind them?"

Wen Zhengming also came back soon and told Xu Zhenqing an unpleasant discovery. After all, they are all scholars, but in this performance, they are similar to other people who have not studied, and are even more greedy.

"No need! If they want to participate...it's also part of the study!"

Xu Zhenqing shook his head, feeling the madness around him, and said soberly: "Besides, is it useful to persuade now? Destroying people's wealth is like killing parents... Will they listen to us?"

"That's right! There's no need to persuade, it's useless to persuade... If I hadn't lost money before, I would also like to join in and play. Who can stay at home well today?"

"If you want to go to the Qinhuai River, everyone comes here."

Tang Bohu thought about it carefully. In this atmosphere, they all wanted to participate, let alone others.

"Okay! Let them try it then..."

Wen Zhengming stopped meddling in other people's business: "But I still want to remind everyone to pay attention to safety and don't get caught like last time."

"That's right! Let's do some reminders! A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Xu Zhenqing still fulfilled his duty and quickly ran to alert the people in the main hall.

……

"How's it going……"

"How much did you charge?"

"How much did you sell?"

A restaurant in the A-shaped area of ​​Xihua Street.

As the transaction calmed down and came to an end, Liu Haiyuan and the others began to count their gains.

"I just received 300 lots and traded 653 lots privately..."

"Now, we have 1,060 hands left."

"Small profit... forty-eight thousand, six hundred and thirty-five taels."

"Excluding the losses in the past few days... now we still have a loss of 286,500 taels!"

There was a professional accountant who quickly calculated the floating profit of this round of transactions for Liu Haiyuan and the others.

"That's all?"

Liu Haiyuan and Gu Qingping were a little dissatisfied.

"Boss, it's pretty good... that is, I collected some low-priced treasure notes a few days ago. Now the price of the treasure notes is not bad. We can earn back 28,000 yuan at a time. We only need to come back seven or eight times, and maybe we can get it back." Ben." The accountant comforted them.

"This is not possible! Pull it up! You must pull it up!"

Gu Qingping was very dissatisfied with this money-making speed. Even though this money-making speed was already exaggerated for them, they were naturally dissatisfied after witnessing the big scene.

"Which one should smash first, or pull?"

"There are currently about 12,000 or 3,000 lots on the market. If we get these 1,000 lots, we won't even be able to afford the splash, nor will the price drop?"

Liu Haiyuan fell into thinking: "Now, we are not the only ones! The transactions in the past few days have proven that if we want to control the rise and fall, we must at least have at least three thousand hands of treasure money!"

"Then increase the position by two thousand lots! Three thousand lots! Directly increase the position to four thousand lots!"

"Yesterday, the highest price reached two hundred and thirty taels! Now... the price is only two hundred taels! Today I feel that we can definitely reach three hundred taels! Now... it should be a good time for us to make a big profit! Make eight with one hand Ten taels, we only need four thousand hands to throw out at three hundred taels, and we can get back our money!"

Gu Qingping can still do simple mathematics.

"Three thousand hands, six hundred thousand taels..."

Liu Haiyuan calmed down: "Qingping, should we think about it? We only have 800,000 taels at the moment. If we suddenly raise the price, we will have no room for maneuver..."

"How about, before the second transaction starts... I go to other places to discuss it and raise the price together?"

"Can……"

"And now... let's continue to hang two hundred and five taels, and eat like crazy first before we talk about it!"

"Damn it! The six hundred lots just now should not have been sold!"

It actually only took about half an hour for the first round of trading to return to calmness, because the first round of trading was a test of the waters.

The result of testing the waters is naturally that some people are happy and others are sad.

Those who are worried should immediately adjust their strategies.

People who are happy want more.

"Damn it! Look! Yi Shi hangs out two hundred and twenty taels!"

"It's rising again!"

"Yi Liu actually got two hundred and twenty-five taels!"

However... there was no time for them to discuss. Soon someone discovered that in this small-scale retail transaction, everyone was thinking of the same thing as them. The market had just calmed down a little before it heated up again!
"Two hundred and thirty taels! Collect it quickly!"

Gu Qingping and Liu Haiyuan didn't even have time to think about it again, and immediately followed up with the price increase, for fear that they wouldn't be able to collect enough chips if they were too late!

After all, they are all bullish and not bearish. The higher the price rises, the harder it will be for them to collect the money!
【First round of trading! There's still a quarter of an hour left! 】

[Clang, clang, clang! First round of trading! There's still a quarter of an hour left! 】

At the same time, urgent urging sounds came from outside. This round of urging made Xihua Street lively again.

But the excitement is not as lively as before. The higher the price, the more people wait and see!
……

"This...how can you repay this and get a promotion?"

"In the blink of an eye, it's two hundred and fifty taels?"

"I just sold the first one on time, didn't I lose fifty taels?"

This magical scene once again dumbfounded Li Dongyang. He thought the deal was over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the small-amount transactions came out, the price of the treasure banknotes would rise again beyond his imagination.

"Mr. Ge, pay attention... In fact, they are just a gimmick! They only hung fifty hands!"

"Their high prices attract everyone to him first... In fact, only the first fifty lots are 250 taels, and most of them are below 250 taels..."

"This street is quite long...some people often don't have time to run around. If you go to them, as long as the price is right, you will sell it to them."

"This kind of transaction...sometimes depends on luck and physical strength!" "Or, just hold on...waiting for the highest price!"

"Of course, if someone sells a hundred and ninety taels in advance, he may not lose money, he just makes a little less!"

"Anyway... I might lose in the next round!"

“It goes up and down, it’s hard to explain.”

Lin Han continued to explain. Li Dongyang did not dare to express his opinions easily. In just one hour, he had been slapped in the face many times.

So, he quietly waited for the second round to come!
[The second round of trading begins! 】

[No. 600 in La Liga! Hang 210 lots! The transaction price is taels! 】

[No. 800 in La Liga! There are 200 lots listed, and the transaction price is taels! 】

【…】

Sure enough, the listing price at the beginning of the second round left Li Dongyang stunned again. He felt that the ideas and patterns he had just found... were suddenly useless again.

however……

He had just experienced the magic of the financial market, and the subsequent rounds dazzled him even more. He only saw the people of Jinling being manipulated by the ups and downs of prices, like waves, one after another. , let them go left, they go left, let them go right, they go right...

It is simply better than Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and other famous generals through the ages, and they can mobilize people's hearts.

Amidst the ups and downs of such a roller coaster, no place in Jinling can be clean.

……

"Promoted!"

"Head! The price has risen to two hundred and ninety taels outside!"

"Head! It fell, it fell!"

"I just fell down one hundred and six!"

In the dark, damp Dali Temple prison, Wang Shouren and a group of prisoners were all affected.

Because after a while, a jailer came over and yelled!
After a while, another jailer danced with joy.

At this time, their mood swings, sometimes happy and sometimes depressed, affected their sleep.

"What on earth are you doing? Can you let me sleep well!"

Wang Hua finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the jailer and cell leader: "What happened? Did you fall? Your wife is going to have a baby, so you should go home!"

"Yeah... Big brother, what are you doing?"

Wang Shouren couldn't think anymore and couldn't help but ask.

"Get lost! Shut up! Is this your territory or the territory of labor and management!"

"If you make any more noise, you will be punished with severe punishment! Don't mess with the labor and management! The labor and management are in a bad mood!"

Unfortunately, they happened to run into the bad luck of the cell boss, and were met with a stern scolding.

This time, the cell was quiet.

"Head! Head! It has risen again! Three hundred and five taels!"

"Sell it! Otherwise, my little heart won't be able to bear the fear!"

"Sell! Sell! Sell quickly! As long as it's about three hundred taels now, sell it quickly!"

Soon, a new situation came out. This time, the prison boss made up his mind to sell!
"Hehe... One hundred and sixty taels, one hundred and fourteen per hand... I'm rich!"

"hey-hey……"

At this time, the prison boss was in a good mood and started to drink by himself. He seemed to have thought of something wonderful and started to sing a ditty.

"Brother...how did you get rich?"

"Can you tell us a little bit about what happened outside?"

At this moment, Wang Shouren's heart suddenly moved and he asked again.

"Hey! You asked the right person! It's very exciting outside... Hehe! Anyway..."

How could the prison boss, who was happy to make money, resist his desire to share? He kept telling them about the popular science market on the spot.

"Forehead……"

"Huh? Can treasure money make money?"

"Ten taels of treasure money can make you two taels of silver?"

"what's the situation?"

However, Wang Hua and Han Ding were still confused and did not understand at all.

"Haha... this thing! I can't explain it clearly! Anyway... you will know when you have the chance to go out! All you need to know is that I am making money, making money! I am in a good mood, and maybe I can give you extra food!"

The prison boss couldn't explain it, and he didn't explain that much. He quickly started singing happily again.

Wang Shouren became even more confused, what was happening outside?
Can it even affect the inside of the cell from a distance?

"Head! Sold! Three hundred and twenty taels!"

Soon, the jailer came running back.

"Haha! It's coming! It's coming!"

As soon as the news came, the cell leader was so happy that he danced with joy. He was not embarrassed at all, and his ecstatic expression could not be concealed.

"Your head...you did have hair..."

"But just now... before I left, I watched it one more time!"

"It suddenly dropped to two hundred and thirty taels. I invested some of our money again... So, sir, can we ask for leave next time? I want to take good care of it..."

"What!?"

"You little bastards! Get rich behind my back!"

"Damn it! Get out! You guys are here to guard! Go to labor and management!"

Wang Shouren and the others were forced to witness the appearances of all living beings in this corner of the cell.

"Money can move people's hearts..."

"So, this world is actually moved by our hearts..."

"Do not……"

"Everyone actually follows their inner intuition... superficial intuition! But if you are influenced by external objects, you can understand what you want to do... in order to keep... keep..."

The cell finally became quiet, but Wang Shouren found that he couldn't help but think again.

He has been living in a cell for almost half a month. These days, he has actually been thinking about it, and seems to have gained something vaguely, but after thinking about it carefully, he has gained nothing.

The behavior of the guards in the cell today seemed like a bolt from the blue, hitting him and making him feel like he was about to see through something.

"Let's continue the analysis from the time we came from the capital..."

"Why did Your Majesty come to the capital from Jinling... It was because of his imperial heart that he did not allow his ministers to entangle him. The emperor's heart was fettered. Coupled with the youthful nature, when I was young, I also resisted my father... and also left. Running away from home..."

"Why did Mr. Li Ge and the others take us from the capital to pursue Jinling..."

"Is it because Mr. Li Ge and the others have their hearts set on righteousness, not... on the past? Or are they still standing on the Xiaozong period and have not adapted? They think that His Majesty is still Xiaozong... In fact, the emperor is not like Xiaozong... Yang Guang, Li Shimin... Your Majesty, he definitely doesn't want to be an emperor like Xiaozong..."

"And when we arrived in Jinling...why were we received so warmly in the first place?"

"Is that the fear that Jinling officials have for the cabinet?"

"Then he was sued again..."

"Is this their desire for power?

"And we...under these various interests, powers, and calculations, we are just pawns..."

"We, no no no...father's stubbornness angered Liu Jin?"

"That's why..."

"Power moves the heart!"

"Money and silk touch people's hearts..."

"Beautiful and touching..."

"Why are external objects moving instead of us thinking clearly about what we want to do and then taking action..."

"Moving with understanding, wouldn't it be..."

Wang Shouren continued to ask himself, feeling that he was about to think about something clearly.

……

"Eunuch Liu, please click on our banknote balance!"

Inside the Xihuamen Daming Bank, the dawn sunlight shone into the room, causing Xu Yunmiao to squint her eyes unconsciously.

Only then did she realize that six hours had passed before she knew it, and it was dawn.

The strings that had been tense all night relaxed slightly, and a feeling of fatigue suddenly came to her head, but she bit the tip of her tongue to wake herself up.

"President Xu, we currently have a total of 2,600 hands."

"The current price is three hundred and sixty taels per hand! The price of the treasure banknotes is between three hundred and two to three hundred and seventy. We have been struggling for three rounds."

Liu Jin reflexively counted and then answered.

"What about Your Majesty?"

Only then did Xu Yunmiao realize that Zhu Houzhao was no longer inside.

"Your Majesty has gone to rest. President Xu, what's going on? Do you want me to call your Majesty?" Liu Jin said quickly.

"No need!" Xu Yunmiao shook his head and continued to ask: "How much cash do we have now?"

"The current silver is about 650,000 taels!" Liu Jin also replied.

Xu Yunmiao frowned deeply and rubbed her temples: "Eunuch Liu, do you still remember how many hands we had at the beginning? How much cash was there?"

"At the beginning, we had more than 3,800 lots and more than 800,000 taels of silver in cash!"

"No! No!"

Xu Yunmiao finally realized something was wrong: "It stands to reason that we have traded almost 10,000 lots in total! Make sure we make a profit every time! Why... there is so little cash now? So few treasure notes?"

She found that her efforts throughout the night seemed to be in vain.

"Huh? No! Miss Xu... We just started with the total price of treasure banknotes plus cash being around 1.5 million taels. Now the total price of treasure banknotes plus cash is about the same amount... taels. One thousand six hundred hands, three hundred and fifty taels per hand...910,000 taels! Including cash...it's also 15,560,000 taels..."

"Hmm...wait a minute, after a hard night's work, we only earned 50,000 taels?" Liu Jin made a calculation and discovered an anomaly.

"No! It can't be calculated like this! Treasure money is just value! I remember clearly that we had 850,000 in cash before... but now we only have 650,000 in cash!"

Xu Yunmiao finally discovered what the problem was: "Just counting cash! We lost two hundred thousand taels!"
