The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1307

[1307. Chapter 1243 Chapter 1218: The sky collapsed and the earth shattered]

Emperor Hongzhi’s residence was indeed given to him when the sky collapsed and the earth shattered.

Fang Jifan entered the palace again to express his gratitude.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: “Just take good care of your Majesty. I gave this to my grandson. You don’t need to thank me.”

Fang Jifan naturally left happily.

Emperor Hongzhi took the eunuch to Kunning Palace with a smile.

After meeting Queen Zhang, the eunuchs filed in behind her, carrying large and small gift boxes.

Empress Zhang said in surprise: “Your Majesty, what’s going on?”

“I heard that a gouache shop has recently opened in Beijing. They are all made with fine workmanship and can make people glow. I thought about it. The tribute from the state capital is It’s getting worse and worse than before, but I can’t wrong my beloved wife. I don’t understand this gouache, so I asked the eunuch to buy it. There are ten pieces of each kind in the store. These things are valuable. You You will know after using it.”

Looking at the mountains of rouge and gouache, the packaging is extremely exquisite, which makes people feel like it.

Originally, many expenses in the palace depended on local income. Tribute tea, tribute rice, etc. are not the specialties of these places, which is really unsatisfactory, but now that luxury has become common in Beijing, many merchants have begun to introduce In addition to high-end supplies, Xishan Academy has introduced many new technologies. These technologies have obviously had an effect on improving daily necessities. However, some of these tributes are not as good as those of stores in Beijing.

Empress Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: “This… I have heard of it. I think it will cost your Majesty a lot.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, sat down, picked up the tea cup, and said cheerfully: “Look…” He He lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and then put the tea cup down comfortably: “In just this… in just a short time, I earned the money I wasted. Little Lizi, come and tell me.

” The eunuch immediately said: “Isn’t it true, your Majesty? In just a few days, your Majesty, you have hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver. Your Majesty has heavily suppressed the Xingfu Group. Now, the Xingfu Group has continued to skyrocket. In just a few days, it has turned over.” After three times, everyone in the capital is going crazy. They all say that it can rise to five taels. Your Majesty is so perceptive. If it really rises to five taels, the shares of Xingfu Group alone will be worth 40 million. Two…this is your majesty…”

Queen Zhang couldn’t help but said: “How can there be such a good thing in this world? Your majesty, as a concubine, I have to be careful. Although I am a woman…”

Emperor Hongzhi. Shaking his head, he said confidently: “I have my own thoughts. When I get to five taels, I should reduce my holdings. In short, I have earned money, so I can’t wrong you.”

Empress Zhang said no more and gave Emperor Hongzhi hot tea. .

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyebrows were beaming, and he was about to say something when he heard a eunuch coming in a hurry from outside: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty… something is not going well, something is not going well.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s expression dropped: “What’s the matter, you’re so flustered? Zhang, how dignified is it? “

“Green…green…”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t hear the word green.

At the stock exchange, if the stock rises, a red card will be issued, if it falls, a green card will be issued…

Emperor Hongzhi is still calm, as for technical adjustments, isn’t there a person in Xishan Academy who wrote a “Stock Classic” specifically? , specifically discusses this issue.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “Don’t be afraid, it’s a technical adjustment.”

But the eunuch plummeted, and said tremblingly: “No, no, Your Majesty…” He said as if he had lost his mother: “It’s a plummet, a plummet.”

Hongzhi The emperor suddenly stood up and opened his eyes wide: “How much is a sudden drop? It has already dropped three cents. Now… there are shipments everywhere, and countless shares of Xingfu Group have been released, but… so far, no one dares to accept them. , If this continues, I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”

“Sell it.” Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but said, “Sell it quickly, no matter what the price is, you can sell it for whatever price you want!”

“Your Majesty,” the eunuch was about to cry. “I can’t sell it. Get out, this stock is being sold everywhere in the market, and no one is willing to take it.”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt dizzy.

He suddenly felt that his heart was… panicked.

So, he looked at the little eunuch angrily: “What happened? Why did it happen for no reason…”

“There is news coming from the desert, tens of thousands of troops from Siberia and the Kipchak Khanate, and some Tatars.” The Tatars, tentatively, attacked the Russians, and the Russians… fought back. After the first battle, all the tribes of the Happy Group were defeated, and tens of thousands of people died, and they fled… Your Majesty, I heard that the report was yesterday Sent to Beijing.”

Emperor Hongzhi shuddered.

The bright future of the Xingfu Group lies in the fact that these Tatars, as well as the Kipchak and Jurchen people in Siberia, can march all the way west, plunder countless lands, and even climb over insurmountable natural chasms to seize fertile plains, as well as Those countless mineral veins.

But…

this tentative attack was obviously hasty.

But even so, no one could imagine that this fight would be a complete defeat.

The Siberians and Kipchaks were facing their old rivals.

But…even they didn’t expect that the strength of the Ross people had improved tremendously.

The Russians were in the midst of four wars.

To the east, fight the Mongols, and to the north, the Swedes. At the same time, they also need to guard against the Germanic Livonian Knights, fighting various enemies in Lithuania and Poland.

Because of this, their combat skills, tactics, and even weapons improved extremely quickly.

They constantly learned from the strengths of different enemies. Not only did they learn the Mongols’ cavalry and archery, they also introduced the phalanx combat method that the Swedes were proud of into the country.

They even began to be equipped with muskets.

This time, the Siberians, Kipchaks and Tatars were directly attacked.

Even Wang Shouren had not thought of this.

After all, this is just an expeditionary force of the Russians to expand westward, stationed at the western foot of the Ural Mountains, just such a lone army…

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his whole body was cold, and he shuddered: “These merchants, The reaction was too fast. “

This was a trivial matter to the imperial court, and even Emperor Hongzhi did not pay attention to this tentative attack.

And the consequences… were too tragic.

He never expected that the merchants’ sense of smell would be so sensitive. As soon as the news arrived in the capital, it immediately began to spread. Then, some people immediately sold decisively. By the time someone reacted, the market had begun to panic. The selling became more and more intense. In two hours, it was already a thousand miles away.

A few hours ago, it was still a hot spot for people to compete for, but in the blink of an eye, it became a pile of waste paper.

Emperor Hongzhi had never seen such a way of playing.

He sat down sluggishly.

My mind was buzzing.

He began to wonder, how much money do I still have in my money now?

This time, he couldn’t calculate.

“How could such a thing happen? Who asked Xingfu Group to attack the Russians rashly?”

Silence.

No one dared to answer.

Emperor Hongzhi stood up: “Quick, come on, summon the vassal, the cabinet, the Minister of War…”

“Your Majesty.” Empress Zhang said worriedly: “Your Majesty, if something big happens, you must remain calm and never lose your composure. , I lost my grace.”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Queen Zhang bitterly, then looked back at the large and small gift boxes stacked on the table. His heart… felt a little painful.

There is also a mansion given out. Zhengqing is still so young. Will giving him a mansion develop his arrogant and extravagant temperament?

By the way, there are also relief funds allocated from internal funds. Our ancestors have their own rules. How can we allocate money and food grains from internal funds to the national treasury without distinguishing between public and private affairs? Sooner or later it will lead to catastrophe.

He took a deep breath and said, “I understand.”

After saying that, he went to Fengtian Hall in a hurry.

The bachelors from the cabinet have already arrived, and they are still confused.

The prince and Fang Jifan hurried over. Fang Jifan had already learned the news, and he was secretly glad. Fortunately… he had long thought that Xingfu Group was risky, but the Railway Bureau and Siyang Trading Company were much safer.

The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the market.

In his previous life, my successor, Fang, had been tricked step by step. How many losses had he suffered, how much had he been deceived, and how much tuition had he paid, so would he still be deceived in this life?

Zhu Houzhao was cheerful and excited. He told Fang Jifan about the collapse of Xingfu Group and said happily: “Fortunately, I am poor. I sold all my shares to pay off my debt!”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but sigh, he really envied His Highness the Crown Prince. Such a poor guy will not take any risks, and no traps will catch him.

Emperor Hongzhi’s face was livid. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, he angrily shouted: “Why are you laughing?”

Zhu Houzhao was surprised. What happened to his father today? Did he take gun medicine?

Zhu Houzhao said: “Father, I just feel lucky.”

“Fortunate, what are you lucky for?” Zhu Houzhao said: “Fortunately, a few days ago, someone came to collect debts from me. I saw that Xingfu Group had risen a lot, so I hurriedly sold it all. I took it and repaid all the principal and interest on the debt. Maybe my father doesn’t know that the stock market is going crazy and selling is happening everywhere…”

Emperor Hongzhi fell down on the imperial chair and murmured He murmured: “I know.”

“Yeah.” Zhu Houzhao seemed to have found a confidant: “Father, it’s very lively there. Many people are anxious to find a way to die and survive. There is a lot of crying. I heard that… it is still plummeting to this day. The shares of Xingfu Group are like useless paper, but it doesn’t matter, the military expenses of Xingfu Group have been roughly raised…”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “I bought it…”

All of a sudden…

the smile on Zhu Houzhao’s face gradually changed. disappear.

He secretly glanced at Fang Jifan, who immediately looked like he was mourning for his heir.

Zhu Houzhao was busy and showed a sad face.

He fell silent.

Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: “Go on, what else happened in the securities market?”

Zhu Houzhao looked sick: “I don’t know much about the things there, I just spread rumors…”
