Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1728 Major benefits

   The exchange is already boiling.

  There will always be countless news in the market.

  Businessmen need to be keen to identify the authenticity of various news.

  And different good or bad news, also need to analyze the impact on the market.

   This is a wise man's game, because in this world, no one can see the future, and most people don't even know what tomorrow will look like. Any mistake will mean the loss of a lot of gold and silver.

   But the same result, once an accurate judgment is made, it means making money every day.

  At this point... a message has begun to circulate.

  His Majesty and Qi Guogong went to Xishan Station for a test run. The new steam locomotive has been developed and has been a great success. The cargo capacity can be directly increased by more than double.

  As soon as the news came out, countless people began to inquire about the authenticity of the news through various channels.

  Major commercial firms also have specialized personnel to conduct analysis.

  Suddenly, rumors and rumors spread all over the sky, and all kinds of news spread throughout half of the capital.

  His Majesty went to the research institute again.

  It's no wonder, no wonder I haven't acted as an agent for the government for more than a month.

  He had been claiming to be sick before, but it turned out that he went there.

what…

   Even the queen mother went?

  This is too much nonsense, this... this...

   Someone is starting to grieve.

  For them...an emperor should look like an emperor.

   In the past, when he was the prince, everyone didn't want to take care of him, and they didn't dare to take care of him.

  But now... what the Son of Heaven bears is the expectation of all the people.

  Your Majesty has not thought about state affairs for more than a month, so why should the common people live?

   What's even scarier is...

   Empress Dowager Zhang is getting old, and now she has been dragged outside the palace to show her face in public. What is going on?

  So... the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate exploded.

  Over the years, being hit everywhere, Qingliu are like rats crossing the street, and they can no longer stand upright.

  The emperor took another batch away, and most of the ones left behind were wise and safe.

  But this time... I can't bear it anymore.

Someone dropped the inkstone in front of the copybook, stood up straight away, and said righteously: "My lords, it is tolerable, which is unbearable. If this continues, the country and society will be safe? If you continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Daming will be destroyed." No more. No, I should go to meet you, go to meet you."

  Everyone looked at it, full of admiration in their hearts. It seemed that such deafening words had never been heard for many days, as if it had been a lifetime.

  The person who stood up was Yu Shi Chen Yan.

   is the man who recorded how many times the new emperor fell ill after he ascended the throne.

  Chen Yan said with a sullen face: "I can't stand it any longer. If I die, I will die. Even if I die, I have to die to understand."

  After hearing this, the rest of the people seemed to be infected by him, and said one after another: "Let's go to meet him together."

  So the mighty people headed towards the exchange.

   Said it was to greet the driver, but in fact, it was to make it clear, is your Majesty the emperor still doing it?

  He has just been enthroned, so that's it, what to do in the future....

   If it really doesn’t work, we will find a way to report to the emperor. We can’t cure your majesty. If the emperor knows that the emperor doesn’t think about government affairs, can’t he still be able to govern your majesty?

  Chen Yan was somewhat tragic.

  His tragedy infected many people.

  Everyone knows that going on like this is not an option, so although they may not have the courage to face His Majesty directly, they also have the motivation to cheer for Chen Yan and support him spiritually.

  By the time the officials arrived at the exchange, Sheng Jia had already arrived.

  Zhu Hou took care of the sign displayed by Xishan Jianye, and the price really started to rise.

  Empress Dowager Zhang was out of the palace for the first time, and she had heard about this exchange for a long time, so she knew it was so lively here.

  They came here in casual clothes. As soon as they arrived, they immediately entered a wing room. The merchants were full of voices and their minds were all on Xishan Jianye's stock, so no one noticed anything unusual.

   Zhu Houzhao took his seat.

   Then Liu Jin reported: "Your Majesty, Xishan Jianye and other steel-related stocks have begun to rise. Many people say that it will be better for many days."

  Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea, said with a smile: "Very good, very good, continue to inquire, I don't need anything now, the only thing I am short of is money."

   Liu Jin went excitedly.

Zhu Houzhao was very interested, and talked about this matter with Queen Mother Zhang as if offering a treasure. To put it bluntly, what is a stock? It is to do one thing, but the money is not enough, so he took out the shares and sold them on the market. Profitable, naturally, take out real money and invest in this matter.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Mother, the most important thing in the world is to build the railway. The railway will be of great benefit. At that time, the national treasury will be abundant, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. ..."

He seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to continue talking, so he was happy again, and said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "In short, all you need to do is to master it. Since Taizu Gaohuang came to me, in the past hundred years, there has been no one. His achievements can be compared with those of his sons."

  Seeing the emperor's overjoyed look, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help showing joy: "This is good, this is good. The emperor thinks about the country and the people. This is a good thing."

  At this moment, an unexpected visitor came to the exchange.

   But a group of ministers came aggressively.

  Led by Chen Yan, they bossed around one by one. After entering the exchange, they immediately felt that the place was smoky.

  Chen Yan straightened his waist, but in his heart he only glanced at the merchants here lightly, inevitably feeling contemptuous.

  These people really fell into the eyes of money, they are so vulgar.

  It's just...he didn't care about these merchants, he just said loudly: "Chen Yan, I heard that His Majesty is here, and I'm here to welcome you!"

   After finishing speaking, he dusted off his official uniform, took off his black gauze hat, and bowed down.

  Others followed suit and bowed down one after another.

Merchants have never seen such a driver before, they were startled and suspicious, but they felt that these people who came in rashly were in the way. You must know that at this moment, everyone has tens of taels of silver for a cup of tea, and they missed the latest news slightly. loss geometry.

  So some people looked around, while others still stared at the place where the listing was listed, unwilling to miss the rise or fall of any stock.

   There are also people holding a small book, which records dense data and a lot of their own experience.

  The exchange is still noisy. People from two worlds are clearly gathered together, and they all feel noisy.

   After a while, people came out surrounded by crowds. Zhu Houzhao was seen walking like a dragon and a tiger. He seemed very dissatisfied and said sharply, "What are you doing?"

   It was his drink that really attracted everyone's attention. At this moment... the exchange suddenly fell silent.

  Chen Yan still knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting to meet you."

   It turned out to be... the emperor!

  It was too sudden, and the merchants were almost boiling. At this time, they could no longer care about other things, and bowed down one after another.

  Zhu Houzhao was furious with his hands behind his back.

   He never expected that all the officials chased me to the exchange, why, did they take me as a prisoner? When he was a prince, he made himself obey the rules all the time, but now he is the emperor, but he still wants to control him everywhere.

  Zhu Houzhao had a cold face, and said angrily, "Who are you welcoming? Did I order you to welcome me?"

   "It's time for your Majesty to return to the palace. Your Majesty has been ill for more than a month. Your Majesty... I don't know if I should say something." Chen Yan said seriously.

  Zhu Hou took a look at Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan understood, and coughed: "Your Majesty is engaged in important matters, so please step back. If you have any questions, I will talk to Fengtian Hall in a few days."

  Chen Yan glared at Fang Jifan with hatred.

   Your Majesty must be good.

   If His Majesty is not good, there must be something wrong with someone around him.

Chen Yandao: "Duke Qi, Your Majesty is not sick at all, but is playing outside the palace with you. Duke Qi is a loyal empress, so isn't he afraid that this will lead to everyone's criticism of His Majesty, and His Majesty ignores the government, what will be the consequence? Can Duke Qi bear these consequences?"

   This is very rude, even...

  Fang Jifan was shocked.

   Unexpectedly... I actually met someone who is not afraid of death today.

   For many days, I have never seen such a domineering person.

  Fang Jifan glanced at Chen Yan in admiration, and couldn't help but said: Such a talent, if I don't send his whole family to Huangjinzhou, I will be negligent of my duty.

  Fang Jifan sneered and said: "Your Majesty is playing outside, you can see, but he is talking nonsense here."

   "It's not playing, what is it?" Chen Yan stared at Fang Jifan.

  Zhu Houzhao coughed: "I'm building a car."

   "Building a car is also a game." Chen Yan said without any scruples.

He has now been pushed to the cusp of the storm, and all the officials have followed him. Although it is only spiritual encouragement, if he pleads guilty tremblingly now, he will not be able to be a man from now on, so he boldly said: "This is If you don't do business properly, the emperor is the representative of the world. Your majesty commands the world, and his subjects are obedient, and he is regarded as a father. How many people's wealth and life are all tied to your majesty. The memorials sent from various state capitals every day require your majesty to intervene. Disposal, His Majesty guards the world on behalf of Tianmu, how can he be neglected in government affairs, this...is Your Majesty worthy of the ancestors and the emperor?"

   Speaking of this, Chen Yan felt that he had more confidence, and his tone became more and more fierce: "Building a car is naturally done by craftsmen. Your Majesty is the emperor, so how can you do it yourself."

"Because this is the most important thing in the world!" Fang Jifan couldn't help it anymore, and refuted him: "The government affairs in the court, the court has its own regulations, how to deal with it, there are cabinets, there are six ministries, there are nine ministers, and they can make cars." major."

   "Heh... so... Duke Qi knows that just the day before yesterday, there was a great famine in the south of the Five Ridges and a great hunger among the people. Isn't this an important thing?"

  Fang Jifan calmly said: "The imperial court will allocate money and food for relief."

   "Just one good one." Chen Yan's eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he felt that Fang Jifan was unreasonable: "Then how is it compared to building a car?"

  Fang Jifan looked at Chen Yan and remained silent, but his face became even colder.

  Chen Yan said mockingly: "Duke Qi is a cabinet scholar, don't you dare to make a sound at this time?"

   "No." Fang Jifan turned his face away, and said loudly: "Where is Liu Jin, check it out, what is the current market value?"

Liu Jin has already got out, his eyes are also burning, looking at Chen Yan, he can't wait to tear Chen Yan apart, this is his own godfather, better than his own father, his own father, who even eunuched himself Sent to the palace, but how close is my godfather to me?

  Liu Jin'an resisted the murderous intent in his heart, and said to Fang Jifan honestly: "Master, it has increased by more than 30%, and the market value has increased by 17 million taels of silver. Next...maybe it will increase."

  When Liu Jin said that 17 million taels was still silver, all of a sudden... the exchange fell silent.

  At this time, the merchants thought, oh, yes, this matter must be over quickly, and everyone still needs to trade.

   But Chen Yan was dumbfounded.

   "..."

Fang Jifan smiled: "It seems that your Majesty's building a car is an inconspicuous thing in the eyes of you bastard. Come on, the seventeen million taels of silver, and the subsequent increase, involve the imperial court's railway construction. You can make up for the expenses. It doesn’t matter if you make up for the shortage. Check out his worth. This censor is so loyal, and all he thinks about is the court and the people. The people are looking forward to the railway day and night. Guan Tong, if you find this **** for the money for road construction, if you don’t get the money out, then that **** is disloyal to the country, unkind to the people, and steals his house, as much as he can make up.”

  Chen Yan's complexion has changed, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

  He looked back at his colleagues.

  I saw that my colleagues were still bowing, but no one said a word, and their heads were lower than before.

  They are just here to make up the number, after all, it is moral support.
