The Dong Nuan Pavilion in the Qianqing Palace was converted into a restaurant. Because Chongzhen was more diligent in his work, after the Xi Nuan Pavilion was used as a study, the Dong Nuan Pavilion was used for dining, which could reduce the time to and from meals. After all, it was very close.
Today, early in the morning, Chongzhen was having breakfast with the queen and the two concubines. The queen's belly was already swollen, and Chongzhen was concerned about the queen's diet every day. In view of the fact that the late emperor's heirs all died inexplicably, Empress Zhang was even massaged to have an abortion.
Chongzhen watched his queen very closely. He was afraid that something would happen if he didn't see her at a glance.
Since defeating Duke Wei of Wei, Chongzhen's cook has fixed a few people he trusts and brought from Prince Xin's palace. These people all live within the scope of Qianqing Palace and are strictly prohibited from interacting with outsiders.
The Housan Palace complex has been on high alert since he entered the palace. After all, there are still several great gods in this palace.
"Your Majesty, Dingyuanbo's stock exchange opened yesterday. Eight stocks were listed that day. I asked Laifu to buy 10,000 shares of each stock. All of them went up." The queen said happily.
"The thing that rose the most that day was guano and agricultural fertilizer. I bought 10,000 shares of Laifu for 2 taels of silver per share. An hour later, the closing price rose to 30 taels of silver per share, making a full profit of 5,000 taels. I did the math. , invested 80,000 taels, and earned 13,545 taels and three cents in one hour.”
Chongzhen put down the spoon in surprise and said: "The queen is so brave, she dares to buy those stocks that don't even have a single digit in them. But I heard that Uncle Dingyuan hasn't dug out oil yet."
Empress Zhou smiled and said: "I asked Laifu to ask Uncle Dingyuan. Uncle Dingyuan guaranteed that there is definitely oil in Tianjin, so I bought it."
Chongzhen smiled bitterly, women are so direct in doing things, they only consider their own interests.
In fact, it is unfair to other investors. When Uncle Dingyuan wrote a letter to explain the stock, he said that this was called insider trading. But how could the queen care about this? She sent someone to ask Uncle Dingyuan, how could he not tell her.
Therefore, she really won't lose money if she goes to stock stocks.
"Your Majesty, I have carefully studied the books on limited companies and stocks that Laifu brought back. As long as Tianjin discovers oil fields, these five oil-related stocks will rise. But I will not sell them. I am prepared to take the dividends and hold high-quality companies for a long time, and I will earn more."
Seeing the queen's confidence, Chongzhen was also very happy.
He served her a bowl of millet and simmered Liao ginseng, and said: "Queen, don't think about making money, but also take care of your health. If this child is the emperor's son, it will be the foundation of our Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be compared with a little money. .”
Upon hearing Chongzhen's words, the queen's eyes were red with excitement. This was tantamount to the emperor's promise to let her eldest son be the prince.
Only the prince can be called the king of the country.
When Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan heard this, they were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
But they didn't dare to argue.
Chongzhen had a very old-fashioned character, and he believed that it was natural for him to establish his eldest son. Besides, he didn't want to give her two children, and they had nothing to do.
Concubine Yuan Guifei complained: "Queen, you have to take our sisters with you when buying stocks. My father also wanted to buy some, but he didn't dare to buy because he was afraid of losing money. If I had known that Uncle Dingyuan had promised, I would have bought some myself. It's so profitable. Some money for rouge and gouache."
Chongzhen straightened his face and said: "Nonsense, the queen bought it with money from the inner treasury. All the money earned goes to the inner treasury. It is not the queen's private money. None of you are allowed to go to Uncle Dingyuan to inquire about the information. In order to
Making money by relying on information for personal gain is called insider trading. It is an act that harms ordinary investors. It must be punished by law."
Concubine Yuan Guifei was so frightened that her face turned pale, she shrank her neck and muttered: "I know you are wrong, Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
Concubine Tian Guifei thought to herself, fortunately she didn't say much, it was so dangerous.
She secretly glanced at the queen and thought to herself, had she heard enough news here? Who would know if she bought it secretly? Concubine Yuan Guifei, a fool, would not make a fortune in silence, so she insisted on speaking out.
This time, the powerful nobles held a small meeting and did not bring their relatives and nobles to play. This made them very angry, but they couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only curse at home.
So, they all went to their daughters who were married into the palace to inquire about the news. They tried to put in good words for His Majesty.
Empress Zhou ignored Concubine Yuan. She always wanted to be the best in everything and express herself. She hoped to attract His Majesty's attention. But she always made a mistake and shot herself in the foot.
You are stupid and you don’t know it. Why are you arguing with yourself?
Didn’t you understand that Your Majesty has a very old-fashioned and traditional character, and that His Majesty hated the pain of abolishing elders and establishing younger ones? Didn’t you understand that although Your Majesty sometimes slept with them, in the end he only gave her the chance to be the Queen?
Your Majesty just wants the queen to have a prince before letting the concubines have children. You can't understand this and still want to fight. You are really stupid.
"Queen, if good stocks are listed in the future, you can participate early. You don't have to wait to buy them in the secondary market, which is very expensive. The purchase price is the cheapest for initiating shareholders. That's called the primary market."
"Your Majesty, I don't know why this time, Uncle Dingyuan didn't notify the palace when he launched eight companies." The queen asked with some anxiety.
She wanted to find out about this matter because it involved a large amount of money. However, she was worried about being suspected of alienating the monarch and his ministers. After all, the ancestral motto in the palace was that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.
"It's normal that you don't know about this matter." Chongzhen then explained the matter of taking back military power.
"I understand, I understand. Uncle Yuan must not take this matter to the palace. He and Zhang Shize have become evil people for Your Majesty's sake."
"Hmph, these nobles have been brought by our ancestors to conquer and protect the world. They have been rich and noble for too long, and they don't care about me. If I don't deal with them well, they won't know that Lord Ma has three eyes. This world
Who has the final say? Who gave them their wealth and privileges."
Concubine Tian burst into laughter. Your Majesty had been in contact with Uncle Dingyuan for a long time, and his words became humorous.
Your Majesty, this is what you have to give in advance. You must take it first.
No one is a fool. Concubine Tian Guifei is ice-snow smart and a talented woman with poetry and calligraphy.
As soon as I heard it, I understood that Your Majesty did not really want to deprive the nobles of their military power, but to let them know that the military power was given to you by Your Majesty, not by your ancestors.
If this is the case, once His Majesty has punished them enough and they accept it, sooner or later the military power will be returned to them.
With her intelligence, she is still His Majesty's bedfellow. How could she not see His Majesty's character?
It is useless to take it verbally. You must be convinced orally. If His Majesty sees that you are not convinced verbally and heartily, he will definitely continue to punish you until you are convinced.
