Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 777 Great news, the stock market picks up

Taking advantage of the current low price to buy more?

If someone else said this, then these nobles would definitely sneer: Just kidding, what are our identities, don't you know the news better than you?
But facing the chief minister of the cabinet, Mr. Zhang, the news is really not as well-informed as others.

Looking at these thoughtful nobles, Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "What's the matter, you don't trust me, or the court, the stock price drop, the stock market turbulence, it's just that people with a heart take the opportunity to make trouble."

A nobleman nodded after hearing this: "I just said that the stock market turmoil is strange. It was normal to make small troubles, but all of a sudden they are saying that Chidao is going to die. The court wants to cheat money, and then some people start to sell Chidao stock attracted others to sell together”

Another Xungui said thoughtfully: "Yeah, at first I thought it was intentional for those major shareholders to take back the shares in the hands of retail investors, but if they just took back those fragmentary shares, how could they be so involved?" , as if the entire stock market had been hit."

The impatient few couldn't help it: "Yuanfu, do you know who is taking the opportunity to make trouble? This period of time has made us toss and turn, worrying about the stock market every day."

Zhang Haogu smiled gently: "Okay, everyone, they are all nobles of Ming Dynasty. What is the matter with so many people crowded in the household department? Let's all go back. The stock market will recover in a few days."

Hearing this, the nobles were finally at ease, and one by one got up to say goodbye:

"With your words, we will feel at ease. We will leave now. Lu Xiang interrupted."

"Thank you Yuansuke, I can sleep well today."

"Speaking of which Yuan Fu said that the person who took the opportunity to make trouble, I suddenly knew who it was."

"You know who it is, don't tell me, they are torturing us now, and I will be tormenting them in the future, obviously I don't care about it, and I am being bullied when I take it at home."

"Who says no? If these people don't make a lot of trouble, who will think highly of us, how can this business be done?"

These nobles of Ming Dynasty discussed with each other and left the household department one by one, and left in groups of three or four.

Zhang Haogu looked at these nobles of the Ming Dynasty quietly. These people used to lie in the shade of their ancestors and eat their money to do their best. In the past, the prestige started to do business honestly. With the considerable capital in their hands, one or two joined forces to set up many chambers of commerce in this northern country.

These nobles are safe and sound when they have money to spend on weekdays. Now that they are dazzled by the world of flowers and flowers, they really don’t want to make troubles at will. means.

Of course, this is also divided into people. Those who can't beat them will swallow their anger, and those who can beat them naturally can't let go easily.

These honorable nobles intend to go to the waterway water transport to make some noise, which is equivalent to scaring the snake. This is naturally the best. Without Zhang Haogu's action, you can see how many catfish are hidden in the muddy water transport.

"Yuanfu, if you come later, I will make these nobles get angry with the twittering." Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile, and changed Zhang Haogu to good tea.

After the two sat down, Zhang Haogu said: "These people are good at doing business even if they go to the streets to eat flowers and wine, fight cocks and walk birds. Just make it fly all over the sky, and even lead a large number of people to sell stocks, if this kind of thing continues, the stock market that has been established with great difficulty will really have problems, and it is time to act."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I will talk to Zhang Xiang about this matter, he will distribute newspapers for publicity, and then I will also use some momentum here, coupled with the clamor from the chambers of commerce from all over the world, the stock should not fall again. "

"It's just that these nobles have managed to settle down for a while, and now that such a heartwarming thing has happened, I'm afraid they are going to make trouble again."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Nao, if you don't make trouble, how do you know how many people are involved? Let them go, these people have a sense of proportion. Speaking of which, the Chidao Yamen told me that the people from Mongolia Chi Dao can continue to be repaired, and there is also good news from the Academy of Engineering, these together are enough to eliminate this stock market turmoil."

"Where it started, let's end there. These river yamen are outside the imperial court and local yamen all the year round. They don't cause trouble on weekdays, and the water transportation is running normally, so let them go. Now that such a big thing has happened, To disregard the interests of the imperial court for the sake of self-interest, to destroy the market that has been operating with great difficulty, I have never seen anyone who wants to die like this."

Lu Xiangsheng knew that Zhang Haogu was angry.

But it's not just Zhang Haogu?Which of these people in the cabinet is not angry?

When did the imperial court say that it was going to abolish the Water Transport Yamen? There is still no movement in the court, and your Water Transport Office is the first to make a fuss. When did the court's prestige become so weak in the eyes of the Water Transport Yamen?

What's more, there is no movement from the imperial court now, and the water transport of the river channel is causing chaos on its own. If the imperial court really wants to reform the water transport, or clean up the water transport from top to bottom, will these people directly rebel?
Now the water transport yamen has offended too many people, and the good days of water transport should come to an end.

After leaving the household department, before getting into the carriage, I heard a servant report: "Yuanfu, Zhang Guozhang and others are waiting for you."

Zhang Haogu nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, send me there."

After a while, the carriage stopped. When Zhang Haogu got off the carriage, he saw Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui waiting anxiously at the door. When they saw Zhang Haogu got off the carriage, they hurried forward: "Oh, Yuan You can be regarded as coming, but we have been waiting for you forever."

Smiling, Zhang Haogu went in with Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui. Zhang Guoji kept talking about the recent bad things and the company's situation along the way, hoping that Zhang Haogu would find a way to help them.

Speaking of which, during this period of time, Chidao's stock price fell and the coal and iron industry began to fall. As the largest private steel company in Zhili, it is a lie for Zhili Steel to say that it will not be affected.

But this incident didn't just affect a Zhili Iron and Steel Company. Seeing that the stock market was in turmoil and his value was shrinking, Zhou Kui was extremely worried. Why was the good stock market about to collapse?

Zhou Kui was unlucky, and Zhu Youjian was happy.

This old father-in-law is unkind, especially for his son-in-law. This made Zhu Youxiao even more dissatisfied.

Anyway, I am also of the Tian family blood, the younger brother of the current emperor, the emperor's younger brother, and the trustworthy king of Ming Dynasty. How can you allow a merchant like you to point out here?

However, Zhou Kui has money, but Zhu Youjian does not. Zhu Youjian, who is already poor to a certain extent, is not qualified to lose his temper with Zhou Kui, and it is worth bearing.

But it's different now. The stock market is turbulent and the large-scale decline has made Zhou Kui lose his temper. He sighs and sighs every day. Zhu Youjian is much happier.

What, the stock market turmoil affected the Ming Dynasty?
What a joke, the stock market shouldn’t have appeared in the Ming Dynasty, it’s meaningless, it’s not the right way at all, it’s the same as the New Party’s idea of ​​dividing the fields evenly, gentry paying grain, opening the sea ban, etc., it’s nothing Good thing, it's normal for something to go wrong now, and it's retribution!
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was very happy, especially knowing that his father-in-law had lost a lot, and after his net worth continued to shrink, he happily bought food and drinks to celebrate with his princess. Zhou Kui was very angry, hating himself for being such a good-for-nothing son-in-law.

Now that Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui are looking for them, to a certain extent, they also hope that Zhang Haogu will hurry up and come up with an idea. Otherwise, it would not be a big deal if their fake net worth in the stock market disappears, but if their actual interests are damaged again, it will really be a big deal. Cried.

Hearing Zhou Kui and Zhang Guoji's series of unlucky things, Zhang Haogu comforted them with a smile, and then told Zhou Kui and Zhang Guoji what he had said to those nobles.

"I'm not afraid that you will know that those people came to me before you, and they said nothing more than this. I also know the current situation in the stock market. It's the same sentence, put your heart in your stomach, The imperial court will not ignore the stock market, if something goes wrong, the imperial court will definitely rescue the market."

"The current situation is not so bad. If you have spare money, you can eat the stocks that those people sold at low prices. The stock market will pick up soon, and these should rise again."

Hearing Zhang Haogu's words, the old brothers Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui immediately felt relieved, and left happily one by one. On the way, they did not forget to discuss how to take the opportunity to copy the bottom line.

And Zhang Haogu dealt with these things early in the morning, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He rubbed his brows to relieve his fatigue, and didn't rest for a while, when he saw someone from the palace coming, saying that Zhu Youxiao was looking for him.

Zhang Haogu knew that the emperor couldn't sit still.

Arriving at the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhang Haogu could see very clearly that our dearest Emperor Zhu, Naren Da Khan of various tribes in the grasslands, and the co-lords of all countries and states, is now standing up straight and scribbling ink, as if he wants to use calligraphy to calm down. mood.

Eunuch Wei waited quietly on the side, and immediately praised Zhu Youxiao after writing a line: "Your Majesty's writing is so good, it is vigorous and powerful, and the writing is like a dragon. It is natural to write a line, and it is full of atmosphere. , looking carefully, there is a bit of dragon spirit."

Hearing Eunuch Wei's praise, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but couldn't bear it. Fortunately, Zhang Haogu came at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, come quickly."

When he got to the front, Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao's tired face, and before Zhang Haogu could speak, Zhu Youxiao said: "There is a problem in the stock market, have you found out who is taking the opportunity to make trouble?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "No accident, it was made by the waterway."

"Oh, these gnats! I really think it's why I don't dare to attack them. The court hasn't sorted out the water transportation yet, and these people can't wait to jump out and make trouble. I'm afraid that others don't know what's going on!" Zhu Youxiao looked very nervous. angry.

Although the royal family also bought a lot of stocks and spent a lot of money, Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to the money. Now he is not short of two million taels of silver, and he is not Lord Jiajing. Yinzi still has to intrigue with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and as a result, it is only that little money throughout the year.

Zhu Youxiao is not short of money, he is not angry because of money, he is angry because of the provocation of the imperial power and the court by the Caoyun River.

How long?
Ever since he wiped out Monan Mongolia, which was a direct threat to the capital and border gates, expanded the land for three thousand miles, all Mongolian tribes surrendered, and Annan was pacified. It's time to challenge the majesty of the Tian family.

Now that the Ming court is coercing all directions, and all nations come to court, he is a well-deserved emperor who controls the world, but even so, there are still some clowns who dare to make trouble in front of him!

Sitting on the couch, Zhu Youxiao waved his sleeves: "Water transport, river channels, rotten, rotten!"

"How long has it been since I cleaned up those corrupt officials last time, and this waterway dares to challenge the majesty of the court!"

"I haven't said that I want to rectify the water transport. They themselves are guilty first. They stir up the muddy water in order to distract the court and make them have no time to deal with them. It's a good idea!"

"The imperial court has repeatedly stated that the stock market is like industry and commerce and opening up the sea. It is a national policy. These people still feel that they are doing things on it for their own selfishness. They don't take me seriously at all. They think it was before!"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was so angry, Eunuch Wei hurried forward to appease him: "My lord, calm down, calm down, there is no point in being angry with those corrupt officials, Master Zhang will definitely clean them up."

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, he really doesn't look down on corrupt officials, but if he dares to openly oppose the court, he won't be happy if he doesn't clean it up properly!

"Master, what do you think of this?"

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Zhang Haogu said: "Returning to Your Majesty, there have been vague rumors among the people before, saying that once the imperial court has a clear road, there will be no need for water transport, and the water transport yamen will be useless."

"However, no one believed this before. After all, water transportation has lasted for more than 200 years. It is the unchanging national policy of Ming Dynasty and the foundation for the imperial court to take root in the north. If there is no continuous flow of money and food from the south to arrive in Beijing, the imperial court will not be able to support it in the north."

"The current situation is quite different from before. Not to mention that Chidao is blooming everywhere. Just near Zhili, five Chidaos have been constructed. After the opening of the sea, there is still developed shipping technology, which makes water transport less important than before. Money and food can be transported to the capital no matter by road or sea.”

"What's more, now the capital is not short of money and food from the south. The most important point is this. In the past, money and food from the south were an important support for the imperial court to maintain its operation, and water transportation was its only channel. If there were no money and food from the south Rice and grain, the imperial court cannot operate in the north. But now, the imperial court no longer relies on the money and grain from the south, and the finances and taxes of the northern provinces are not mentioned. There is also foreign trade. Shipped by sea from Jiaozhi, from Nanyang to Jingshi.”

"The current situation is that the status of Water Transport has been greatly shaken. They are afraid that they will be unnecessary. Without the Water Transport Yamen, they will not be able to cover up what they have done. What's more, the Water Transport Yamen has been in existence for more than 200 years. How many things have happened, and now the Water Transport Yamen has lost its important position in the past, and those salt merchants and food merchants still have to rely on the imperial court to survive, the Water Transport Yamen is simply unable to deal with the imperial court, they are "

Before Zhang Haogu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao said, "They are jumping over the wall in a hurry."

"The imperial court has got rid of its dependence on southern money and food. On the contrary, these merchants and gentry have to rely on the imperial court. Therefore, the Water Transport Yamen can't do anything now. They can't handle the gentlemen and merchants, let alone the imperial court. They are afraid of the bad things they have done. If I was found out, I was afraid that if the Water Transport Yamen was gone, I would lose my status!"

"What these people think in their hearts, I know too well!"

"The imperial court has not moved at the moment, but they can't sit still. They are afraid that if this continues, the water transportation will be completely useless, so they start jumping up and down, wanting to continue to maintain the water transportation and maintain their interests."

"A group of five people, I can't wait to get these people out and scratch them."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is innocent, but you don't need to be angry about it. These people are jumping up and down, let them go, let's see what else they can do. As for the issue of the stock market, I have already discussed it here." eye-catching."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu: "Can we continue to build on the grassland?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Not only that, Your Majesty. In fact, the most important thing is that the locomotive has been improved. Now that the need for horses has been greatly eliminated, the imperial court can manufacture more advanced locomotives, and those old locomotives before, There is also a place to go, so the rise of Chidao cannot be stopped by those clowns."

Zhu Youxiao smiled when he heard the good news: "Well, the locomotive has been improved, which is a good thing. Publicize this, let those big and small merchants, citizens and common people take a look and see if the imperial court is continuing to promote With the paving of the road, and with the news of the grassland, the turmoil in the stock market should calm down, let’s see what else the water transport officials can come up with.”

"I'm very curious, what kind of stumbling block can these love ministers of mine cause me right now? One by one shouting about longevity, and dedication, and shouting loudly, like loyal ministers and pure ministers, there are all conspiracy behind their backs The calculation is all for the self-interest of one family."

Soon, the imperial court’s announcement about the Chidao was published, and the Daming Daily also sent out a lot of news. For a while, the people in the capital knew that the grassland had been thawed, and the imperial court continued to build the Chidao on the grassland. This news made everyone suddenly realize , No wonder the road was shut down before, it turned out that the grassland was frozen.

Some old people who often travel to and from the north also explained that the grassland is not as cold as the Central Plains, and the winter is longer. It is cold and white hair wind, and people and animals can freeze into popsicles, so it must be warmed and thawed before construction can be carried out. Otherwise, your people and materials will not be able to reach the construction site. What kind of work do you do?

Immediately afterwards, new news appeared, saying that the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway would be suspended for one day, and the imperial court would replace the trains on the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway with new locomotives, with more powerful horsepower, capable of pulling more cargo and running faster speed
At the same time as one piece of news was released, Xungui and the Chamber of Commerce began to buy stocks in large quantities, and the stock market began to pick up.
