The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1418

[1418.Chapter 1347 is posted]

the entire Tianjin Wei was already in a state of shock.

There is no way to hide the mountains of gold and silver.

After all, it’s just too annoying.

There was just a pile here, and another pile started on the other side.

As a last resort, the people from the shipping department went to find felt cloth and tried to cover the gold and silver with felt cloth.

All the offices of Tianjin Guard were alarmed, and they came with soldiers and horses from all walks of life to guard the perimeter.

The tax collectors then counted all the gold and silver.

They soon discovered that the weights of these gold coins and silver coins were almost the same, and they only needed to count them one by one.

It’s just that…even counting is nerve-wracking.

The ship’s carrying capacity was huge, and a group of navy warriors had almost broken their backs from exhaustion, but they could only carry a small part of it, so they hurriedly selected another group of warriors to replace them.

Liu Jin was well taken care of by the people from the Shibo Department. The umbrellas, coffee tables, and tea cups originally prepared for the eunuch were all used on him.

Liu Jin obediently asked Liu Wenshan to sit down and served him tea and water.

On this side, the Shipping Department has sent people to Beijing to report the news.

The chief shopkeeper of Chenji Trading Company in Tianjin Wei had already heard the news and came here.

Chenji Trading Company is one of the largest trading houses in Beijing. It operates a variety of businesses, including medicinal materials, cotton spinning workshops, and shipyards. The big shopkeeper is responsible for the shipyards. Shipbuilders are often related to the navy. Closer to home, I saw the sudden and unusual changes in the navy’s personnel. When I asked, I felt that it was not simple.

So, he hurried over, raised his binoculars, and looked at the piled mountains of gold and silver. He could hardly believe his eyes.

“What happened? What kind of ship is it? Where did you get it from? Go and find out. Go and find out.”

After a while, the boy inquired about the news.

Then, the big shopkeeper took a deep breath.

The gold and silver brought back are countless.

What is the concept?

The ship belongs to Siyang Trading Company.

It is the income of Siyang Trading Company.

This Siyang Trading Company has always kept a low profile. Unexpectedly… they…

Phew…

The big shopkeeper took a long breath, his eyes wandered, and then, his expression straightened, and he ordered his own son to be called in front of him. , solemnly said: “You have to go to the capital, use a fast horse, use the fastest horse, at all costs, immediately… go and report to your boss immediately, tell him what happened here, remember, don’t delay along the way, you If you are hungry, eat on the horse. Remember to eat, drink, and eat on the horse. If you are delayed for a moment, I will peel off your skin. The boss is not kind to us. It is time to repay the favor. “

What else did his son want to say, but the big shopkeeper pushed him away and roared at him with wide eyes: “Let’s go, let’s go quickly.”

The horse is already ready, the best horse.

A person is also his own son, the most trustworthy person.

The men and horses galloped away quickly.

The big boss turned around again, raised his binoculars, and looked at the mountains of gold and silver surrounded by human walls in the distance, his eyes unblinking, he was completely obsessed.

………

In the Hanlin Academy.

Just another normal day.

Everyone clicked on time and started busy on time.

At noon, the Hanlins began to take a rest. They often gathered together to drink tea and eat some cakes.

The thing they talk about most among themselves is stocks.

The future is hopeless now.

Today’s Hanlin is no longer what it used to be.

But it’s not easy to live in the capital. Who doesn’t want to make his life better?

As usual, several Hanlin officials began to talk about their stock experience in a clear and logical manner, such as what the market was good for, what they were bullish about, and what they were buying at the bottom.

After all, he is a human spirit, someone who was killed out of thousands of troops.

If such a person puts his intelligence and energy on the right path, such as studying stock trading, his potential to explode is unlimited.

Not only can they speak, but they are also good at summarizing.

After summarizing it, the young Hanlin listened with fascination.

Many people followed the trend and bought Siyang Trading Company.

Take Liu Jinshui for example. Liu Jinshui’s family was not in bad condition. He won the imperial examination and was given a house in Jingli. He was ambitious and wanted to make money, but he really didn’t want to let his family spend any more money. He heard that this was the money his family received from selling hundreds of acres of their ancestral land. Thinking of this, he felt very uncomfortable.

He invested all his wealth in buying this Siyang Trading Company because he believed that the king would not be an official.

But the longer time passed, the less confident he became.

Especially listening to the talk of several old Hanlins, he felt even more guilty.

At this time, a scribe came in and served them tea.

At this time, Hanlin stood up and said: “Secretary Yang, come here, didn’t you say that Academician Wang asked people to buy Siyang Trading Company? But now look, it has been nearly a month, and there is still no movement. This What means?”

Secretary Yang’s face was green and white: “Villain… villain…”

“Humph, did you hear it wrong?”

“No…that’s right.”

“It seems like the problem lies with Bachelor Wang. I’ve been watching stocks for several years. There has been no movement from these four foreign trading companies for so many years. So far, I haven’t heard of any good news. This… this is not a joke…”

The speaker was an old Hanlin. Over the past year, , I made some money from stock trading. Therefore, now that he is confident in speaking, it seems that the stock king of the Hanlin Academy needs to be replaced.

“If you had listened to me and bought more Liu Ji Steel, why would you have done this? Look, I invested 35,000 taels of silver. How much is it now? It is already 600 taels.” This old Hanlin is a waiter. He is a scholar, he is not a young official, but he has high qualifications. He took a sip of tea and almost shouted, “There are talents in every generation, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. If the king is not an official, he will be the wave ahead, and what about himself?” , it is the back wave.

He glanced at Liu Jinshui with a worried look on his face, and then said: “Liu Bianxiu, your wealth and life are all tied up with Siyang Trading Company, right? When you were about to buy it, I wanted to persuade you, but, this kind of thing, How easy is it to export? Take a look and see what future this Siyang Trading Company can have. His Majesty ordered the Duke of Qi to build a Jingfu. The Jingfu has been running the Siyang Trading Company since last year. But you see, the Siyang Trading Company can Even the Duke of Qi can’t do anything about Siyang Trading Company. Think about it, can Siyang Trading Company be saved?”

After hearing this, Liu Jinshui’s face turned pale and he was completely confused.

Many of the other Hanlin officials also turned pale.

But at this moment, there was a sudden uproar outside.

Some people frowned, wondering what happened.

But someone rushed in and shouted: “It’s terrible, it’s terrible, go to the stock market quickly, something happened, something happened, Siyang Trading Company has skyrocketed.”

Skyrocketing…

Suddenly, everyone suddenly became excited.

But someone was seen hurriedly entering Wang Bushi’s public house.

In this public room, I saw Wang Bushi coming out in a hurry.

A group of people surrounded him and hurriedly left the Hanlin Academy.

What happened? What happened?

The Hanlin officials could not sit still.

They all followed.

………

In the securities market, no one expected that these four foreign trading houses began to go against the market trend.

There is obviously no benefit, but for some reason, there seems to be a crazy acquisition by a big businessman.

And the big businessman behind this seems to want to pay whatever it takes. As long as there are shares in the world, he will take as much as you want, and whatever price you ask, he will take it.

People looked at all this in surprise.

This… is so weird.
