Chapter 0777 major positive, the stock market picks up
Buy more while the current price is low?
If others said this, these distinguished nobles would definitely sneer: Are you kidding, who are we? Are we not as well informed as you?
But when it comes to Prime Minister Zhang, the chief minister of the cabinet, the information is really not as well-informed as others.
Looking at these thoughtful nobles, Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "What's the matter? You can't believe me, or you can't believe the imperial court. The falling stock prices and the turmoil in the stock market are just people who take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
After hearing this, an honorable nobleman nodded repeatedly: "I just said that this stock market turmoil is strange. It used to be normal for small quarrels, but suddenly everyone was saying that Chidao was going to die, and the court wanted to defraud money, and then some people started selling deliberately.
Chidao stock caused others to sell together..."
Another gentleman said thoughtfully: "Yes, at first I thought it was the major shareholders who were preparing to take back the shares from retail investors on purpose, but if they were just taking back those fragmentary shares, how could it be so involved?
It’s as if the entire stock market has been hit.”
The impatient ones couldn't help it anymore: "Yuansuke, do you know who is taking this opportunity to cause trouble? This period has made us toss and turn, and we are worried about the stock market every day."
Zhang Haogu smiled gently: "Okay, everyone, we are all nobles of the Ming Dynasty. It doesn't matter that so many people are crowded in the household department. Let's all go back. The stock market will pick up in a few days."
After hearing this, the nobles finally felt at ease, and stood up one by one to say goodbye:
"With your words, we feel at ease. Let's leave now. Mr. Lu is disturbing us."
"Thank you Yuansuke, I can have a good sleep today." "Speaking of the person Yuansuke mentioned who took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, I suddenly knew who it was."
"You know who it is, right? Don't tell me. They're torturing us now, and I'll be the one to torment them in the future. They obviously don't care about anything anymore. I'm being bullied even though I'm at home with them."
"Who says it's not the case? If these people don't put in a lot of trouble, who will think highly of us? How can we do this business..."
These nobles of the Ming Dynasty discussed with each other and left the household department one by one, and left in groups.
Zhang Haogu quietly looked at these nobles of the Ming Dynasty. These people used to lie in the shadow of their ancestors and rest on their laurels, roaming the streets, fighting cocks and walking birds.
Wei Feng began to do business honestly. With the considerable capital in hand, one or two people joined forces and established many chambers of commerce in the northern country.
On weekdays, when they have money to spend, these nobles are stable. Now that they are dazzled by the colorful world, they really don't want to cause trouble at will. However, if someone bullies them, these nobles do have some tricks.
.
Of course, this is also a distinction between people. Those who can't be beaten will swallow their anger, and those who can be beaten will naturally not let go easily.
These nobles planned to go to the river to make some noise, which was equivalent to alerting the snake. This was naturally the best. Without Zhang Haogu, he could see how many catfish were hidden in the quagmire of water transportation.
"Yuanfu, if you had come later, I would have made these nobles angry with their chattering." Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile, and gave Zhang Haogu some good tea.
After the two sat down, Zhang Haogu said: "These people, despite wandering the streets eating flowers and wine, fighting cocks and walking birds, they are still good at business. What they said is not bad. It has only been a few days. Rumors
It's flying all over the place, and a large number of people are selling stocks. If this continues, the stock market that was finally established will really have problems, and it's time to take action."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "I will talk to Prime Minister Zhang about this matter, and he will publish newspapers to publicize it. Then I will also use some momentum here, and the chambers of commerce in the north and south of the country will join in the noise. This stock should not fall anymore.
"
"It's just that these nobles have finally been stable for a while. Now that they have such troubles, I'm afraid they are going to cause trouble again."
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Let's make a fuss. How can we know how many people are involved if we don't make a fuss? Let them go, these people have a sense of proportion. Speaking of which, the Chidao Yamen told me that the Mongolian people
Chidao can continue to be repaired, and good news has come from the Academy of Engineering. Together, these are enough to eliminate this problem.
The stock market is in turmoil."
"Let's end where we started. These river yamen have been away from the imperial court and local yamen all year round. They don't cause trouble on weekdays and water transportation is running normally, so we just let them go. Now that such a big thing has happened,
For the sake of his own selfish interests, he has to disregard the interests of the imperial court and destroy the market that has finally been functioning. I would never seek death like this."
Lu Xiangsheng knew that Zhang Haogu was angry.
But it’s not just Zhang Haogu. Who in the cabinet is not angry?
When did the imperial court say it was going to abolish the Caoyun Yamen? There has been little movement in the imperial court, but your Caoyun Yamen made trouble first. When did the dignity of the imperial court become so weak in the eyes of the Caoyun Yamen?
What's more, there is no movement from the court now, and the river water transport is causing trouble on its own. If the court really wants to reform the water transport, or clean up the water transport from top to bottom, will these people still rebel directly?
Nowadays, the water transport yamen has offended too many people, and the good days of water transport must come to an end.
After leaving the Household Department, before even getting on the carriage, I heard a boy report: "Yuan Fu, Zhang Guozhang and others are waiting for you."
Zhang Haogu nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, please 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 get off the carriage, they hurriedly stepped forward: "Oh, Yuan.
You are finally here, and we are eagerly waiting for you."
Smiling, Zhang Haogu, Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui went in. Along the way, Zhang Guoji kept talking about recent troubles and the company's situation, hoping that Zhang Haogu could find a way to help them.
Speaking of which, Chidao's stock price fell during this period, and the coal and iron industry began to decline. This is the largest private steel company in Zhili. It is false to say that Zhili Iron and Steel Company will not be affected.
But this incident didn't just affect a Zhili Steel Company. Seeing that the stock market was in turmoil and his own worth was shrinking, Zhou Kui was extremely worried. Why was the stock market, which was so good, about to collapse?
Zhou Kui was unlucky, and Zhu Youjian was happy.
This father-in-law is unkind because of his wealth, especially his son-in-law. He doesn't like his son-in-law at all. Not only does he sometimes make things difficult, but sometimes when he sees Zhu Youjian being restless, Zhou Kui will also warn him as a veteran.
This made Zhu Youxiao even more dissatisfied.
In any case, I am also a descendant of the Tian family, the younger brother of the current emperor, the younger brother of the emperor, and the Xinwang of the Ming Dynasty. How can I allow you, a merchant, to point fingers here?
However, Zhou Kui has money but Zhu Youjian does not. Zhu Youjian, who is already poor to a certain extent, has no right to lose his temper with Zhou Kui and is worth enduring.
But things are different now. The current stock market is turbulent and the large-scale decline has made Zhou Kui lose his temper and sigh every day. Zhu Youjian feels much better.
What, the stock market turmoil affected the Ming Dynasty?
Are you kidding? Things like the stock market should not have appeared in the Ming Dynasty. This thing is meaningless and not the right way at all. It is the same as the New Party's idea of equally dividing the land, gentry receiving food from one body, opening up the sea ban, etc., it is nothing.
It's a good thing. It's normal to have problems now. This is retribution!
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was very happy, especially after knowing that his father-in-law had lost a lot and his net worth was constantly shrinking. He even happily bought food and drinks to celebrate with his princess by having a drink.
Zhou Kui was very angry and hated how he ended up with such a useless son-in-law.
Now that Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui are looking for them, to a certain extent, they hope that Zhang Haogu will come up with an idea quickly. Otherwise, it will not be a big deal if their fictitious values in the stock market are gone, but if their actual interests are damaged again, it will really be a big deal.
Cried.
Listening to Zhou Kui and Zhang Guoji's series of misfortunes, Zhang Haogu smiled and comforted the two, and then used the same words he said to those nobles to say to Zhou Kui and Zhang Guoji.
"I'm not afraid that you will know that before you, those people came to me and said the same thing. I also know the situation of the stock market now. As I said, you should keep your heart in your stomach.
The court will not ignore this stock market. If there is a big problem, the court will definitely save it.
City."
"The situation is not that bad right now. If you have extra money, you can buy the stocks that people sold at low prices. The stock market will pick up soon, and these stocks should rise again."
Hearing Zhang Haogu's words, Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui immediately felt relieved and walked away happily. On the way, they did not forget to discuss how to take advantage of the opportunity to copy the bottom.
As for Zhang Haogu, who had been dealing with these matters early in the morning, he felt a little helpless. He rubbed his brows to relieve his fatigue. He didn't rest for a while when someone from the palace came and said that Zhu Youxiao was looking for him.
Zhang Haogu knew that the emperor could no longer sit still.
Arriving at the Wuying Hall, Zhang Haogu could see clearly that our dearest Emperor Zhu, Naren Great Khan of all the grassland tribes, and co-leader of all the countries, was now straightening his back and writing ink, as if he was trying to calm down with the help of calligraphy.
mood.
Eunuch Wei was waiting quietly on the side. He watched Zhu Youxiao finish writing a word and immediately praised him: "Your Majesty's handwriting is so good. It is vigorous and powerful, and the strokes are like a dragon. The words are written with a natural and natural atmosphere.
If you look closely, you can see that it actually has a bit of dragon energy..."
Hearing Eunuch Wei's praise, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but couldn't bear it. Fortunately, Zhang Haogu came at this time and quickly shouted: "Master, come here quickly."
When he arrived, Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao with a tired look on his face. 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 cause trouble?"
Zhang Haogu nodded: "No surprise, it's made from the Canal Canal."
"Oh, these worms! Why do you really think that I don't dare to attack them? The imperial court hasn't sorted out the water transportation, and these people can't wait to jump out and cause trouble. Are you really afraid that others don't know what's going on!" Zhu Youxiao looked very worried.
angry.
Although the royal family also bought a lot of stocks and spent a lot of money, Zhu Youxiao didn't see the money. Now he is not short of two million taels of silver. He is not Lord Jiajing.
The money also had to be quarreled with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and in the end, it was only that little money all year round.
Zhu Youxiao is not short of money. He is not angry because of money. He is angry because of the provocation of the Cao Canal Channel to the imperial power and the court. How long has it been?
Ever since he wiped out Mononan Mongolia, which directly threatened the capital and the border, expanded the territory for three thousand miles, made all Mongolian tribes surrender, and pacified Annan, like Chengzu's old system of setting up counties and turning Annan into a royal territory, few people have dared to
It is a provocation to the majesty of the heavenly family.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's court is so coercive that all nations come to court. He is the emperor who deserves to control 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 transportation and river channels are rotten, rotten to the core!"
"How long has it been since I last cleaned up those corrupt officials? This Cao Canal Road dares to challenge the majesty of the imperial court!"
"I haven't said that I will rectify the water transportation. They have a guilty conscience. They are muddying the waters like this to distract the court and have no time to deal with them. It's a beautiful idea!"
"The imperial court has stated time and time again that the stock market is a national policy, just like industry, commerce, and sea development. These people still feel that they are doing things on it for their own selfish purposes. They don't take me seriously at all. They think it was before!"
Seeing Zhu Youxiao being so angry, Eunuch Wei quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down. It's no use being angry about those corrupt officials. Master Zhang will definitely take care of them."
Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly. He really didn't look down on corrupt officials, but if he didn't clean up the yamen that dared to openly oppose the imperial court, he would feel unhappy!
"Master, what do you think of this matter?"
Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Zhang Haogu said: "Before I returned to Your Majesty, there were vague rumors among the people that once the imperial court had a Chi Road, there would be no need for the Cao Canal Road, and the Cao Yuan Yamen would be useless by then."
"However, few people believed this before. After all, water transport lasted for more than two hundred years. It was an unchanging national policy of the Ming Dynasty and the basis for the imperial court to take root in the north. Without the continuous flow of money and grain from the south arriving in Beijing, the imperial court would not be able to support itself in the north.
.”
"Today's situation is very different from before. Not to mention that Chi Roads are blooming everywhere. Five Chi Roads are under construction near Zhili alone. After the opening of the sea, there are still more Chi Roads.
Due to the advanced maritime transportation technology, water transportation is no longer as important as before. Money, grain and other goods can be transported to the capital either by road or by sea."
"What's more, the capital now has no shortage of money and food from the south. The most critical point is this. In the past, money and food from the south were an important support for the imperial court to maintain its operations, and water transportation was its only channel. Without the money and food from the south,
For rice and grain, the imperial court cannot operate in the north. But now, the imperial court no longer relies on money and grain from the south. Not to mention the finances and taxes of the northern provinces, as well as foreign trade, the taxes are enough to maintain the operation of the imperial court, and the imperial court also has sufficient reserves of grain and grass, and can pass through
Shipping from Jiaozhi, from Nanyang to the capital...
"The current situation is that the status of water transportation has been severely shaken. They are afraid that they will no longer be needed. Without the water transportation yamen, the things these people have done cannot be concealed. What's more, the water transportation yamen has been in trouble for more than two hundred years.
I don’t know how many things have happened. Nowadays, the Caoyun Yamen has lost its important position in the past. Those salt merchants and grain merchants still have to rely on the imperial court for survival. The Caoyun Yamen is simply unable to deal with the imperial court. They are..."
Before Zhang Haogu could finish speaking, Zhu Youxiao said: "They are so anxious that they are jumping over the wall."
"The imperial court has got rid of its dependence on money and food from the south. On the contrary, these merchants and gentry have to rely on the imperial court. Therefore, the Caoyun Yamen can't do anything now. They can't control the gentry and merchants, let alone the imperial court. They are afraid of the bad things they have done.
Being found out, I am afraid that without the Caoyun Yamen, I will lose my status!"
"I know very well what these people are thinking!"
"Right now, the imperial court is taking no action, but they can no longer sit still. They are afraid that if this continues, water transportation will be completely useless, so they are starting to jump up and down, wanting to continue to maintain water transportation and maintain their interests."
"A group of five people, I can't wait to just pick these people out and shave them."
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has no sage, but there is no need for your Majesty to be angry about this. These people are jumping up and down, let them go and see what other methods they can use. As for the stock market issue, I already have someone here."
Looks good."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu: "Is it possible to continue construction on the grassland?"
Zhang Haogu said: "More than that, Your Majesty. In fact, the most important thing is that the locomotives have been improved. Now the need for horses has been greatly eliminated. The imperial court can produce more advanced locomotives, and those old locomotives before.
There is also a place to go, so the rise of Chi Dao 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 matter and let the merchants and citizens take a look and see if the court continues to promote it.
With the paving of the Chichi Road, and with the news from the grassland, the turmoil in the stock market should have calmed down. Let’s see what other tricks those water transport officials can come up with.”
"I am very curious, what kind of obstacles can these beloved ministers of mine give me right now? They are shouting about longevity and dedication, and they are shouting loudly, like loyal ministers, and they are all conspiracy behind their backs.
The calculation is all based on the selfish interests of each family."
Soon, the imperial court's notice about Chidao was published, and the Ming Dynasty Newspaper also published a lot of news. For a time, the people in the capital knew that the grassland had thawed, and the imperial court began to continue building Chidao on the grassland. This news came out and everyone suddenly realized
, no wonder Chidao stopped working before, it turned out that the grassland was frozen.
Some old people who often traveled north and south to do business also explained that the grassland is not as long as the mainland of the Central Plains, and the winter is long. It is cold and freezing and there are white-haired winds. People and animals can freeze into popsicles, so it must be warmed and thawed before construction can be carried out.
Otherwise, if you and the materials cannot reach the construction site, what kind of work will you do?
Immediately afterwards, new news emerged, 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 that would have more powerful horsepower, could pull more goods, and run faster.
speed..
As each piece of news was released, the Chamber of Commerce began to purchase stocks in large quantities, and the stock market began to pick up.
