Chapter 398 Rising, follow the emperor to earn money

Beijing in early October.

Even hotter than Midsummer.

Not for anything else, but for a piece of news in the mansion newspaper.

Everyone in the world knows that Liulizhai makes money. The so-called Jinshan now refers to Liulizhai exclusively. It is the place where the emperor turns sand into gold in rumors. Many people in Beijing believe that the emperor will, otherwise, how could the emperor have so much money?Have more money than you can spend?Have you ever heard that the emperor was willing to spend 1000 million taels of silver for disaster relief?Do you have?No!Could there be an emperor who paid several million to smooth out the military salary he owed over the years?Do you have?No!But there is an emperor who spends several 10 taels of silver from his internal funds every month to support the frontier army to fight?Do you have?No!In addition, such things as large-scale warships, millions of military uniforms, tax exemptions, and many other things dazzled the common people in Beijing, and they firmly believed that the emperor must have known some rumored spells, such as turning a stone into gold, Otherwise, how could there be so much silver?There was more than one emperor in the Ming Dynasty, but which emperor spent money like this?Do you have?No!Nowadays, just grab a random person on the street and ask, is the emperor rich?Ten out of ten tell you, old rich.Is the emperor short of money?Absolutely no shortage!Anyone who still suspects that the emperor is short of silver and has no money to spend will definitely be looked down upon by everyone.

Therefore, when some stocks flowed out from the palace, many people in the capital were interested in this. Not to mention buying shares in Liulizhai, the promise of getting a 100% dividend every year has already attracted many people. Well, after all, 100% of the profit is already quite a lot. Although it is not as good as lending usury, but after all, lending usury is a ruthless and unstable business, earning "bad money", and it is not as good as Liuli Zhai’s dividends are so stable, there are many people who put loan sharks, but they lose all their money, loan sharks are not suitable for everyone, without strong connections and means, it is easy to lose everything when they put loan sharks, so, Beijing Some of the "people" in the stock market set their sights on the stocks of Liulizhai. This one took a few shares, and that one took a few shares, and put them at home, waiting for the dividends at the end of the year. First, don't worry too much; , the dividends are not bad; thirdly, if you calculate carefully, it only takes a few months from receiving the interest to the end of the year, and you can get a dividend of [-] taels in less than half a year. , In fact, it is more "quick to get money" than depositing silver in the bank. If you deposit it in the bank for ten years, you will get [-]% interest a year. However, you have to deposit it for a year to get [-]% dividends. The dividends of Shangliulizhai can actually get [-]% of the dividends in less than half a year. Therefore, many people who have seen the way, "everyone" and "small households" have gathered more or less, and put them at home to wait for the New Year To collect the [-] taels of dividends, many people's idea is to wait until the Chinese New Year to eat the dividends, or sell it, or continue to keep it and watch it, not to mention, there is an imperial party "helping" in the middle, what is an imperial party?Of course, it is to follow the emperor, support the emperor, and stand on the stage for the emperor. Since the emperor sold the stocks, he naturally has to support him. ?Eating meat alone without any effort is not such a good thing in the world.

Therefore, as soon as this stock appeared in the capital, it became popular faintly. The highest interest rate of the bank is as high as 100%. However, today's banks are only open to the royal family, dignitaries, officials, and those with fame and titles. It is obviously not safe to be affiliated with someone else's name. Therefore, many ordinary people with a little spare money have set their sights on Liulizhai's stock and are willing to pay a high price to buy it. Therefore, some people who get the stock first feel that it is beneficial. But, so, I added 1000 taels of silver and sold the stock. Anyway, I spent 100 taels of silver to buy one, but I just waited for the New Year to receive the dividend of the 100 taels of silver. Since someone is paying 200 taels of silver now, After selling it, getting the money is the most important thing, so after selling it, the price of the stock in the market has risen a lot in an instant, and then some people have discovered that the price of this stock can still be raised, and it can be messed up. It can make money, so, under the special drilling operation, I started to deal with the matter of reselling stocks, clamoring every day that Liulizhai's stocks are valuable, and kept bragging about how Liulizhai is,... Chinese people have always had the tendency to chase ups and downs Tradition, besides Liulizhai’s long-standing reputation, the glass wall of that street has become a must-see when coming to Beijing, so the stock of Liulizhai is even more sought after, so the stock price of Liulizhai rose to [-] in a blink of an eye. From [-] taels to the top, you have to find a relationship to get this, so the stock of Liulizhai has become a hot commodity in the capital.

As for the businessmen who came to the south later, it was even more outrageous. They opened up to buy stocks in everyone's hands and claimed to buy shares in Liulizhai. Share?But other people took the silver for real money, so many people thought it was profitable, so they sold the stock again. After all, it was only 1000 taels when they first bought it, but now it is 300 taels. How long?I made a full 300 taels of silver, and my capital was only 1000 taels. Therefore, after this, the stock price of Liulizhai has reached a high price of more than 300 taels...

Today, it was suddenly reported in the mansion newspaper that the southern businessman had successfully acquired the stock and became a shareholder of Liulizhai. He could enjoy the dividends of Liulizhai in the future, and even the shares sold in the future could be paid dividends. The frying pan exploded, so the stock in Liulizhai rose to 500 taels in an instant. For no other reason, many people saw that the stock in Liulizhai was worth a lot. It might not be just one or two people who want to buy shares in Liulizhai. If you want to buy shares in Liulizhai, you must buy the stocks on the market like the businessman surnamed Wang. Since someone comes to collect them, you must start the price at a low price. Therefore, the shares of Liulizhai have reached 500 taels in an instant. .

Therefore, the hotness in the capital is like midsummer. Words must be called Liulizhai, words must be said about stocks, and words must be said to be "rising".

……

British government.

Zhang Weixian squinted his eyes, held his head high, and kept stroking his beard. The light in his eyes definitely did not look like a twilight old man.

"Charter! My country's lord, just ask a little bit, is the matter of buying shares and dividends, is the stock sold in the palace in the future, and the businessman surnamed Wang can also share [-]%?" British lord Zhang Weixian was really not sure about this point, and continued Asked.

"Duke, since the mansion newspaper said so about this matter, it is probably correct. Hehe, Fan Weicheng didn't get His Majesty's approval, dare to write scribbles on the mansion newspaper? Do you want to die?" Zhang Guoji is also dissatisfied with such things. Too much to believe, but since the mansion newspaper said so, he will take the mansion newspaper as the standard. Anyway, the mansion newspaper does not dare to speak nonsense without His Majesty's approval. Fan Weicheng was sent by His Majesty to the General Administration Department to manage the mansion newspaper. If he talks nonsense, the emperor will tear his mouth and make him pay for it himself.

Mr. Ying nodded. This point is indeed correct. Fan Weicheng is the emperor's man. If Fan Weicheng dared to speak and write nonsense, it would not be the Liulizhai that is hotly discussed in the city, but Fan Weicheng's big mouth. Talking nonsense and writing nonsense, it is time for the ministers to discuss who should take that position.

"Duke, we nobles don't come from many sources of money. It's really not enough to keep the land every year! Although the appearance is bright, but the family background is not too rich, not as generous as those businessmen in the south. Take out millions of taels of silver at every turn, duke, should we do it without further ado? Take a stake in Liulizhai? Since the businessman surnamed Wang can, there's no reason why we can't, duke, your majesty is you... "Zhu Chunchen said anxiously on the side, Zhu Chunchen thinks about one thing now, that is to quickly buy shares in Liulizhai, because the stock is rising slowly, if it is a few days later, it is not known when the stock will rise Go, he has also fiddled with stocks, knows the tricks in it, knows that everyone makes a high price, and waits for others to accept the stocks in their hands.

"Chunchen!" The Duke of England interrupted Zhu Chunchen again. Zhu Chunchen kept saying that, and Zhang Weixian had to remind him again, everyone, you and me, the emperor knows what to do. Talking about it, it seems that the emperor can't be the emperor without you. Sooner or later, he will suffer from the emperor's note, and there will be no good fruit to eat.

"...The only thing about this matter is the matter of selling the stocks and returning the money to others. The old man has been uncertain whether someone is talking nonsense or there are other secrets. Pure minister, think, if it is yours , you sold it for silver, will you still give money to others?" Zhang Weixian is still quite vigilant about such things that he can't understand.

"This..., in the meaning of the Duke, could there be deceit here? Your Majesty deceived you?" Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen asked in disbelief. No matter how mischievous the emperor is, would he still dare to lie to these noble things?Could it be that he still dared to cheat the British Duke's money?This is obviously impossible. At the beginning, the Duke of England took the lead in taking the emperor from Xinwang Mansion into the palace.

"Oh... that's not what I mean. I think there must be something hidden in it. I'd better wait until I enter the palace to inquire clearly with His Majesty. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry at this moment. Don't you think so? Besides, I'll wait and see." It’s not that kind of merchant, who can only purchase shares from the market, which is really too slow. It’s better to wait for the old man to enter the palace and ask His Majesty for personal favors. Wouldn’t it be better for us to buy directly from His Majesty than to buy from the market? Are the stocks coming quickly?" Zhang Weixian said to the other nobles in the hall.

"Guogong is right. I am not a merchant. If I want to buy a share, I can go to His Majesty directly. You don't have to be like those merchants and accept it in the market. This is too cheap. Besides, the stocks on the market today are soaring. Powerful, today it has risen to 500 taels, and I am afraid that it will be a lot of money to collect it from the market. It is better to find His Majesty. With the Duke's face, His Majesty must not ask for too much. It can save money. That's a lot of money..." Another nobleman agreed.

"That's right, it makes sense, we honorable men are superficial... Hehe, if we want to take out such a large sum of money suddenly, we have to join in. Let's save some if we can...In that case, Then how about I go home to raise money and wait for news from the British Duke?" Immediately, other nobles agreed.

"Okay! If that's the case, then the old man will enter the palace and ask His Majesty for favors. Everyone, go back and raise money. It's not too late, you have to do it early!" the British Duke Zhang Weixian said in a full-fledged manner, the emperor will make money This is common sense. Liulizhai is a golden mountain. This is the common sense of the world. The emperor will turn sand into silver. The British government also believes in such things. Since Liulizhai makes money like this, why not invest in it?In the past, they were afraid that the emperor would be playing tricks, so they didn't dare to ask, and they didn't dare to talk about buying shares. Now that everyone has bought shares, it's natural to do it, and no one will make things difficult for Yinzi.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen felt very happy after hearing this. He would soon become a shareholder of "Jinshan" and the owner of "Jinshan".

Several nobles immediately left and went home to prepare money.

……

Forbidden City.

Yang Reform has just dealt with the matter of Zhenjiang Fort, and just dealt with the matter of Mangui, the frontier army is going to go out to fight the Mongols, this kind of thing, Yang Reform has never expected, the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty is a waste It is synonymous with Bodhisattvas, except for a few more famous ones, the others are bodhisattvas who just eat and do nothing. They are useless, but they must be worshiped there.

Unexpectedly, this time, they also clamored to go out to fight the Mongols. I don’t know which great god passed by boredly, and gave these frontier soldiers collective stimulants. They are so active. As the saying goes, there are three catties of nails in a rotten ship No matter how bad the frontier army is, with tens of 10 troops, it is still more than enough to pick out some elites to fight the Mongolian right wing who is like a dog in the water today.

The army is a monster that is constantly fed by victories. Yang Reform firmly believes in this point. No matter how bad the frontier army is, it has won several victories with Man Gui. Then it rose, and the combat effectiveness of the frontier army increased. Yang Reform felt that he should laugh when he was dreaming.

Just as he was talking and laughing with Sun Chengzong, a young eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the British Duke is asking to see you."

"British Duke?" Yang Reform stopped laughing, and his mind turned to another matter in an instant, the big net that was thrown out, can it be collected soon?

"It came so fast!" Yang Reform said to himself, and then laughed again: "Quick, I invite the British Duke..."

……

After a while, the British public was led to the platform. The British public had also been to the platform and was very familiar with it. Looking at the sand tables and maps in the room, they kept walking back and forth. The atmosphere of the battlefield rushed towards us, and this place had become a new place for the emperor to command the war in the world, and it had become a center of power.

"Your minister Zhang Weixian kowtowed to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Zhang Weixian hurriedly kowtowed.

"Hehe, excuse me, the Duke please get up soon..." Yang Reform hastily made a vain gesture of support, which was considered to be enough face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Zhang Weixian got up now.

"Hehe, the Duke entered the palace today, is there something wrong?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. So positive.

"Report to Your Majesty, I do have something to ask Your Majesty today, but..." the British Duke Zhang Weixian said while looking at the two sides intentionally or unintentionally, with a look of embarrassment.

Yang Reform understood, and said to everyone on the platform: "I have something important to do, you all stand down."

Everyone on the platform responded and began to exit the platform in an orderly manner.

Soon, there was no one else on the platform, except for the emperor, Wang Chengen, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Weixian.

"Hehe, just tell the Duke if you have anything to do, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for the Duke." Yang Reform said kindly to Zhang Weixian, the big net that he cast, this big fish will soon be caught. The British public Zhang Weixian is the boss of the nobles, since he has come forward, it means that the nobles already have the intention of becoming a shareholder of Liulizhai, which is exactly what I want, although they can't control anything and have no real power , not to mention nothing to squeeze, but it is indeed a political force. No matter how the civil official group suppresses the emperor and these nobles, they are always a very important force in politics, and they are always a force that cannot be underestimated. Yang Reform is to rely on the power of this group of nobles. In the future, once he makes troubles, then, under the entanglement of interests, they will naturally "fall back" to him. With the backing of the frontier army and Jin Yiwei, and the support of the imperial party in the court, with these, it is feasible for him to attack some people.

Zhang Weixian thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister came today, it is really..." This matter, to put it bluntly, is to ask the emperor to share the money, Zhang Weixian thought of countless reasons, but, to be honest, Still a little irritable.

"Hehe, what's the matter with the Duke, just say it, there are no outsiders here..." Yang Reform encouraged, thinking in his heart, if you don't say it, then I will say it, don't you just ask me to become a shareholder of Liulizhai?I have done so many things, isn't it just to catch you online?Do you tie interests together?If you don't say anything else, I'm in a hurry.

"...Your Majesty, it's like this. Today, there are rumors that Liulizhai has become a shareholder..." Zhang Weixian held back for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say a few words.

"Oh, this matter! I know, huh, maybe, the Duke also wants to buy shares..." Yang Reform wished to let these nobles buy shares right away. Seeing Zhang Weixian evasive, he immediately said it himself, and then practiced Tai Chi like this, Keeping it secret, Zhang Weixian is not in a hurry, but Yang Reform is in a hurry.

Zhang Weixian was going to chat with the emperor first, and then brought the topic to the matter of buying shares. He was organizing his speech to think about how to fool the emperor, but the emperor himself asked, and Zhang Weixian was relieved. It seems that his own face It's worth some money, the emperor didn't embarrass himself too much, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I have this kind of thought, hehe, I am not afraid of your majesty's jokes. Although I am a Duke by name, my life is very tight. Hehe, I also want to follow His Majesty to earn some money to subsidize the family..." Zhang Weixian admitted smugly.

"Hehehe..., this matter? Since the National Government has spoken, then I will naturally agree..." Yang Reform quickly agreed, thinking to himself, I have finally caught you, and now I will let you follow me to earn two dollars. What a silver flower, in the future, you will be our mountain axe, crossing the river bridge.

Zhang Weixian agreed to the emperor very easily, and his expression was obviously relaxed. He was thinking about his old face, and he still had some face. He begged the emperor several times, and the emperor gave him this old face. It seems that he It seems that the emperor is still a very affectionate person. It is a good thing to follow such an emperor. It is better than the merciless and ungrateful one. many.

"... Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En,... However, I still have something unclear, and I would like to ask Your Majesty..." Zhang Weixian sighed for a while, and immediately asked the core question, what happened to the money.

"Oh, just ask the Duke if you have any questions..." Yang Reform said happily. Today is really a happy day. Although Mao Wenlong's place is a deadly battle, and he posted a lot of things himself, the outcome is still uncertain. However, I also harvested a lot from Mangui, and even caught a big fish in the net, and spread out my own profit net without making a sound.
