Chapter 288 Does Jin Yiwei still have the king's method?
Jin Lian, the Minister of Household Affairs, was led by the eunuchs all the way to the Imperial Study Room.
"My minister Jin Lian greets the Holy Gong!"
Zhu Qizhen raised his head, put aside the memorial in his hand, and said: "The Qing family is exempt from courtesy. If you come, please give me a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jin Lian leaned over and sat down, and then asked: "Excuse me, why has your Majesty summoned this old minister to come here?"
Zhu Qizhen got straight to the point: "I want to talk to the Qing family about issues related to the introduction of stock market laws."
"Stock market laws?"
Jin Lian asked in confusion: "Isn't the stock market... good?"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "Don't you think there is something abnormal about the Caijiagou Mining Industry?"
"Is this... because the increase is too big?"
Seeing Jin Lian's hesitation, Zhu Qizhen said bluntly: "Jinyiwei has found out that Caijiagou's recent surge is entirely due to shareholders taking the left hand and the right hand, and is a malicious bid up of the stock price. I am open to stock trading.
Therefore, the purpose is to allow more private funds to participate in various projects, rather than letting them speculate and use stocks as a tool to make money."
Jin Lian nodded as if he understood, and said: "The emperor wants to put some restrictions in place to prevent someone from committing fraud and disrupting the market. I think this move is very necessary."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "The Qing family is in charge of the world's financial power. If the stock market is in chaos, the consequences will be serious. I will give you three days to formulate corresponding laws and regulations based on the current situation of the exchange."

Jin Lian stood up and saluted: "Old minister, I obey the order!"
Zhu Qizhen is quite reassured about this person. He was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Yongle, a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice for several years before becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It is most appropriate for him to take the lead in this matter. p>
…………
The stock exchange was not only overcrowded, but also a large number of merchants gathered nearby.
Here, the price of housing has also skyrocketed several times because many big businesses gather here just for convenience.
Among the quiet streets, there is an inconspicuous mansion.
Suddenly, horseshoes were heard.
The dense horseshoes tread on the bluestone, like drum beats.
Zhu Ji took the lead and led a dozen or so imperial guards to quickly surround the residence.
Immediately afterwards, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Open the door, open the door!"
The concierge stuck his head out and was about to ask a question when he was pushed to the ground by two people.
Zhu Ji immediately ordered: "Don't let anyone go!"
"Yes!"
Everyone poured into the mansion, and after a while, someone was dragged out.
This person shouted: "It's wrong, it's wrong, what have I done to deserve you to invade my door like this!"
Zhu Ji stepped forward and held a driving ticket with the other party's appearance and other characteristics written on it. After comparing it, he confirmed that it was correct, so he waved his hand: "Take it away!"
The man was immediately tied up and taken to Zhao Prison.
Arresting people with such great fanfare soon attracted many people to watch.
These royal guards ignored them, mounted their horses and left.
In fact, being able to attract people to watch and stop is already considered an improvement.
Before Yuan Bin took charge of Jin Yiwei, if he encountered Jin Yiwei doing business, the people along the street would have their doors and windows closed, and everyone would remain silent.
As Zhu Qizhen ordered rectification, Yuan Bin took charge of it personally. Only later did everyone realize that although these Jin Yiwei all had notorious reputations, except for capturing imperial criminals or detecting lawbreakers, they generally did not harm ordinary people.
People in the market, so some people began to become bolder.
The man shouted along the way: "It's unfair, it's unfair, what have I done..."
Among the people watching, some people immediately left quietly and hurried to report the news.
Suddenly, the entire stock market knew about it.
Because the identity of the person who was arrested is too sensitive.
Half an hour later, this person entered Zhao Prison, still shouting about injustice.
It’s just that no one paid attention to him, as if this person didn’t exist at all.
Yuan Bin arrived at Zhao Prison quickly, but he did not start the interrogation immediately. Instead, he went through some of the letters that had just been seized one by one.
After reading them all, he asked: "Is this all there is?"
Zhu Ji replied: "Replying to the commander, this is all you have!"
Yuan Bin squinted his eyes and after pondering for a long time, he shook his head and said: "It's not enough with these alone."
Zhu Ji frowned slightly and said, "I'll send someone to check it again!"
"No need!"
Yuan Bin waved his hand: "I've already alerted the enemy. I can't find anything useful if I go there again. Let's go and have a look at this person."
In the interrogation room, the man became much quieter when he saw Yuan Bin.
Yuan Bin paced back and forth, looking up and down. He was wearing a Confucian shirt and a turban. He was a serious scholar and a good scholar.
"Fu Boqiang, forty-three years old, has lived in Yongping Mansion. I heard that your ancestors also served as officials, right?"
Fu Boqiang raised his head and said, unwilling to be outdone, "Fu is a man of merit and fame. What do you want to arrest him for no reason?"
Yuan Bin was not in a hurry, and said: "I know you are a person with a good reputation, and I have already found out your details. Since I have taken you today, of course I will not take you wrong. Do you still have to be tough when you get here?" Fu Boqiang suddenly felt shuddering and asked: "What crime have I committed?"
Yuan Bindan said calmly: "This is what I'm here to ask you about. Don't you know what crime you have committed?"
"I...I have always been law-abiding..."
"Abide by the law?"
Yuan Bin suddenly laughed and said: "What a law-abiding person. It seems that you don't know much about Zhao Prison."
Fu Boqiang took a deep breath. At this time, he acted extremely calm.
He looked up at Yuan Bin and asked, "You want to frame me?"
Yuan Bin shook his head disapprovingly and said: "Half a month ago, a large amount of money was spent on the market to purchase Caijiagou stocks. All of this money seems to be related to you. How do you explain it?"
After hearing this, Fu Boqiang said seriously: "I bought it, so what? I see that Caijiagou Mining has a bright future, so what crime have I committed by buying the stock?"
Yuan Bin did not answer and continued to ask: "So where did so much money come from?"
Fu Boqiang said calmly: "I borrowed it. Who said no one is allowed to borrow money to buy stocks?"
"Let me ask you again, who did you buy the stocks from?"
"Some familiar people."
Yuan Bin sneered: "I'm afraid it's yours, right? Spend your own money, buy your own stocks, drive up the stock price, disrupt the market, don't you admit it?"
Fu Boqiang immediately said with emotion: "What Mr. Yuan said makes no sense. Even if I buy back stocks, I will still follow the rules of the market. Does the Ming law say that buybacks are not allowed? It cannot be because Caijiagou Mining has a good momentum.
I have stocks in my hand and I have to arrest people. Is there any natural law? Is there any royal law?"
