Chapter 11 (middle) picturesque country

At the end of the 11th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to commend Peiping's achievements in fighting the enemy. He ordered Prince Yan Zhu Di to move into the Yan Palace and formally take charge of the military and political affairs of Peiping, and was promoted to the magistrate of Peiping to the Minister of Revenue. Guo Pu, the magistrate of Huairou County, was promoted to the magistrate of Peiping for his achievements in protecting immigrants, and later supervising the regiment training. The envoy Wu'anguo defeated the Mongolian bandits and saved the King of Yan, designed to kill Nahachu, bravely captured Naerman and other great achievements, and promoted him to the Chief Governor of Beiping Guard.

The matter was subordinate to the King of Yan. Zhou Heng, Lin Huofeng, Cao Zhen, Zhang Zhengwu and others were all promoted to Qianhuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuo

In the same month, the Mongolian peace agreement was approved, asking him to offer three thousand good horses every year, and let Nairman return. He gave Xu Da's four sons a title of one level, and named Tang He's eldest son Tang Ding as the Marquis of Lingbi, and Fu Youde as Duke Ying. Six of the soldiers from Xu Da's northern expedition were conferred a plan. He was afraid that Xu Da would go out of the frontier for a long time and his senior soldiers were exhausted, so he ordered his troops to be the commander of the Daning Wei. The newly-appointed Marquis of Wuwei was the governor of the Daning Wei, and the Marquis of Dingyuan, Guo Ying, guarded Helin, and the border line, were usually controlled by the King of Yan.

This reward for Wu Anguo and others has been delayed. The victory of the King of Yan arrived in the capital, and the ministers praised the young hero of Yan. No parents didn't like others to praise his son, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. But after being happy, he decided to reward the heroes. Guo Pu had a reputation of loving the people as much as his son. In addition, thousands of immigrants died of hunger last year, no one had any objections to the promotion. However, Wu Anguo was different. He was a military officer, and the struggle between civil and military officials in the court was very serious.

Although no one dared to risk the world's magnanimity to say that Wu'an's victory was wrong, the Censor Chen Ning, Zhongcheng Tu Jie and others believed that the private construction of artillery should not be carried out, otherwise the world would be in chaos. This made Zhu Yuanzhang hesitant, and the issue of such a combative rural bravery staying or leaving him was indeed a difficult situation. Before the war was resolved, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have done anything to cut off his arm, but it was not a solution to see this uncontrolled force grow up. Besides, what kind of person is Wu'an's country, and whether he has ambitions or not can be explained clearly.

Chen Xiu, Minister of Personnel, Teng Yi and others were ordered to inspect the achievements of Guo Pu and others and provide rewards for merits. The Ministry of Personnel was originally under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat and was good at understanding the intentions of the saints, so he failed to report the memorials for many days. When the prince Zhu Biao heard this, he came to the palace to congratulate his father, and at the same time said, "Your Majesty does not reward the great achievements, but is confused by the words of Confucian scholars. If the country is in trouble in the future, who dares to raise his arms and call out to Your Majesty?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince who was a little simple in politics and asked, "Do you like riding a horse? Don't you know how to ride a horse.

Those who have good horses have many broken legs!" The father and son are relatively speechless. Zhu Yuanzhang admired the courage and wisdom of the young man far away, but under the premise of stable foundation, as an emperor, it is important to prevent problems before it happens. If the Yuan Dynasty warlords had not fought each other too hard, it would be difficult for him to unify the north. If the Khanate of Outer Mongolia could uniformly follow the orders of the Yuan Dynasty and come to support from the Western Regions, it would not be difficult for the Mongols to make a comeback. The historical lessons of the fallen apart made him very sensitive to the rise of military power.

The news of Xu Da's victory and Mongolia's request for peace came just right, solving all the problems. After two great victories within a month, all the ministers praised Zhu Yuanzhang for his great blessings. Taking advantage of the disappearance of foreign troubles, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to formally transfer the defense of the north to his son. By enthroning Wu'anguo and others, they were assigned to the control of the King of Yan. The newly born village king was disbanded with justification, and a new force was eliminated in the bud in a blink of an eye. Huairou's new

Zhu Yuanzhang gained a lot of knowledge through Zhu Di's letters. The Ming Empire's treasury is currently empty, which may be a way to fill the treasury. So he wanted to carefully understand the advantages and disadvantages of the measures taken by Guo Pu and Wu'anguo. At this time, the Ming Dynasty did not form a mature idea of ​​governing the country. Regarding the Confucian viewpoint, Zhu Yuanzhang had always considered what was beneficial to his rule. Before Confucian scholars could not come up with a way to enrich the country, he did not care about adopting some new methods.

In the commendation imperial edict, Zhu Yuanzhang specially rewarded Li Shanping for his integrity of not fearing power and rather than dying than cooperating with the Mongols. He was appointed as the magistrate of the Peking Prefecture, in charge of the military weapons of Peking, and gave him a title of loyal and brave prince, and was awarded the title of a fifth-rank small official. Li Shanping can be said to be the first person since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The arsenal was also reclaimed and was not allowed to sell firearms without authorization. Unlike the Beijing Manufacturing Bureau, the court did not appoint officials and allocate funds to the Beiping Arsenal, but maintained the original state according to Zhu Di's suggestion and went to the armed forces from the army to the armed forces.

The factory ordered the armour to maintain its survival. Some ministers opposed it. Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How much does it cost to build a Thunder gun in the Military Weapon Bureau of the Ministry of War? When will it be updated since Jiao Yu offered the gun?" The ministers were speechless. "Since Huairou business has become a trend, it will save national money and food, and ensure the invention of new weapons. Why not do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang deeply said what Zhu Di said in his letter, and was able to gather a bunch of new blood for his son and cultivate a new force that he could master, which is of great benefit to his next plan.

Before the imperial edict was released, the people who reported the good news had already rushed over. Everyone searched the county yard, but not only did they find Guo Pu and Wu Anguo, but even Zhu Di, Cao Zhen and Li Shanping did not see any signs. The yamen was quiet and finally found a staff member on duty. After inquiring, it turned out that everyone went to the largest hotel in the county town, "Mingdi Building". This staff member was left on duty and missed today's opportunity. The boss was unhappy, so he ignored the news report. It was not difficult to find the Mingdi Building. The year before yesterday, Wu Anguo shot a thief over the river and the restaurant was named.

Before we arrived at the restaurant, we heard the crowds of people. People watching the fun, regardless of the cold weather, surrounded the three floors inside and three floors inside and outside. When the news came to the stairs, they almost squeezed out their tongues. The wine tables on the second floor were replaced with long tables. The well-dressed gentry sat next to each other like children in private schools, sitting next to each other, and those who couldn't get a seat set up a bench in the aisle. The shopkeeper's counter was placed in front of everyone. The fat Mohammed shouted loudly, directing several talented students who were studying business to work in a hurry. Someone came from the counter

A note was handed out in the room behind the table, and a student immediately copied it on the water sign that originally wrote the menu and hung it out. The names of the dishes on it were very strange, such as Zhang's new mine, Wu Ji painted pottery, Xu's crystal glassware, etc. The prices of dishes also changed and rose step by step. Someone couldn't help but handed the silver over it, and put it away by the guy after checking it, and exchanged it for a pile of paper, and put it in his arms like a treasure. Although he was busy, the order of the customers was very good. After one transaction, another walked up with the license plate he received in advance and started his own transaction.

"What is this Wuda God of Wealth selling?" The informant was unable to touch his head after watching for a long time and did not dare to disturb him easily. He pulled a person sitting in the back row and asked in a low voice. Only then did he know that this was the latest way to make money in Beijing and buy stocks. It is said that after buying it, he would take back a lot of bonuses every year. "Can the silver be turned into a mother and a little boy?" The informant murmured in a low voice. When the people next to him heard it, they all turned around and looked at him like a monster, with contempt on his face. "The country bumpkin, I have no knowledge!" Someone scolded in a low voice. Some people also whispered to him to show off new terms such as stocks.

The knowledgeable people only learned about stocks a few days ago. There is a story about the birth of this thing. Let’s talk about Zhou Heng and Lin Huofeng, after the Ming army won a great victory, happily took the spoils and the village warriors back to their own county towns to make a deal. I thought I would be praised by everyone, but I didn’t expect that in addition to the praise, I also received a lot of complaints. The boss was not easy to talk straight, but my colleagues and friends couldn’t stop scolding them, and they went to Baoshan and returned empty-handed. I was short-sighted and saw only the spoils, and

Wu Anguo, who was reincarnated with the God of Wealth, had reached a friendship and did not get the way to make money. The two of them were very upset. They all took a lot of money and walked back to Huairou with a lot of money. They pulled Wu Anguo and kept saying good things, and wanted to ask for one or two to make money and explain. Wu Anguo was also in a big way at this time. Zhu Di, the King of Yan, stuck to him like a plaster, and even hired a group of painters to draw the terrain at home and abroad that Wu Anguo had previously said, one by one, for fear of omissions, which caused Wu Anguo to have to carry people to look up the world map every day.

As soon as the Mongolian threat was lifted, a large number of merchants flocked to the crowd. All products were almost sold out as soon as they were produced. Zhang Wu, Chen Xing and other owners were willing to expand production, but they had no wealth. When the money they had bought Wu'anguo's shares, they were almost used up. Everyone borrowed from Xu Jibiao No., which made Xu Jibiao No. 10, and soon could not borrow more money. A few who were very familiar with Wu Anguo simply proposed to Wu'anguo directly, saying that the period of prosperity was over the end of the year.

After the season, the capital and profit were paid off. Wu'an Guo was not a stingy person, but at this time he was afraid that these industries would have something to do with him. He was very embarrassed when the jade was burned. Seeing Zhou Heng and Lin Huofeng coming with silver, he walked around the house for a few times, and had a scheming in his heart. He told the two to rush back to their respective counties and notify those who wanted to find a way to make money and gathered at Mingdi Building five days later. Zhang Zhengxin also asked everyone who was short of money to discuss fundraising matters at Mingdi Building in the afternoon.

Before noon, the bosses gathered at Mingdi Building, greeted the shopkeeper, and booked the second floor. Jinghou God of Wealth arrived. After noon, Wu Anguo calmly came to the restaurant. There was a prince next to him. Two generals were "followers", which made everyone stand up to salute. After the politeness, Wu Anguo asked everyone to be quiet and told everyone his thoughts. Since Huairou is now in a tight position, and people from other places have a lot of money to be found.

It is better to communicate with each other than having nowhere to invest. The bosses take out one or two of their respective industries, and the assets are verified by Yixue’s Business School. The valuation is cash bank, which is converted into several shares in units of two, and is called stocks. Each tael of silver is one share, called the original share. The original owner should retain at least half of the shares, and the rest can be sold to those who are interested in investing. The price of each share is determined by the seller according to the market conditions. Stocks can be bought and sold freely at the agreed place.

His Highness Yan guarantees the original value of the industry in the name of the prince. When trading each share, a transaction fee of 5% is charged as the operator's commission, venue rent and military expenses of His Highness Yan. When the dividends are paid at the end of the year, all the holders will receive the corresponding dividends according to the shareholding ratio. Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they whispered for a long time before they figured out the key. In this way, the funds were raised, but the original owner's profit dropped from 100% to the actual shareholding.

Many people were wondering, and then they thought that it was better than having no funds and wasting their money in vain. They agreed with a bit. Wu'anguo asked everyone to recommend several bosses with strong assets as their spokespersons to discuss specific trading rules. Wu'anguo named the place where stocks were bought and sold "Stock Club" and gave these spokespersons a name "Owner Representative". After some trouble, the basic regulations are as follows:

First: Only industries with a value of more than 1,000 taels of silver and good performance can issue stocks, and must be industries that have been operating for more than one year and have made profits this year.

Second: If an industry wants to raise funds through stocks, it must be recognized by Yixue Business School to recognize the reputation of the industry, estimate the value fairly, and review it by all owner representatives before trading.

Third: This time, the first batch of industries that can issue stocks will be agreed upon. If other new industries in the future want to raise funds through stocks, they must have other old industries with good performance as guarantees. If the investment fails, the guarantee industry is responsible for compensation for the losses of the partners.

Fourth: Companies with good performance currently suffer losses in the future, and the investors will bear the losses themselves.

Fifth: The Stock Club is located on the second floor of Mingdi Building. Owners who want to sell their stocks need to apply for sale three days in advance. The transaction starts at the morning hours and ends at the afternoon hours every day.

Sixth: The stock price is in line with the market and can be bought and sold on the same day. The stock market management rules are formulated by the owner representatives, and the owners' meetings are held regularly. The representatives elected by everyone are responsible for discussing the modification and changes of the rules.

Seventh: All military and civilians can come to the stock club to buy stocks with cash, and those who purchase original stocks can also sell the stocks in their hands in the stock club.

eighth:………………………………….

……………………………………….

That night, news that the stock market was about to open was spreading. "Have you heard that Master Wuda is playing new tricks..." For a moment, whether it is support or opposition, almost half of the people in Huairou City were talking about new terms such as stocks and assets, and were proud of it.

Five days later, the wealthy neighbors came with cash and happened to meet the opening of the stock market. The bold and tentative buy some, and soon found that their property doubled in a blink of an eye. It turned out that the owners who held the shares were reluctant to sell more, and the Imperial Guards under Zhu Di were mostly from wealthy families, with no shortage of money in their hands, and they all came to support the prince's savior. There were many people buying, few people selling, and the stock price soared. The gentry who did not buy in time regretted it and rushed forward, almost crushing the Mingdi Building. Guo Pu had to call a large number of servants to maintain order. The next day, he had to close the market for one day and set the queuing rules. Every morning after that,

Those who want to buy stocks must get a number on the first floor and trade in the order of numbers. Anyone who gets a number or resells a number will be prohibited from entering the stock market for three months after being caught. After several adjustments, the stock market is finally in good order. The happiest thing is that the group of officers under Zhu Di accidentally became shareholders of some profit-making industries, and they can get a lot of dividends without any effort. Everyone has to laugh out loud in their dreams. Zhu Di himself also makes a lot of profits. As long as the stock market exists for one day, his property will grow steadily. Based on the current income, as Wu Anguo said, it is not a dream to build an invincible silver army of tens of thousands of people.
