Chapter 484 The Prairie Market of the Stock Market

The envoy, who had gone to great lengths to come to the capital, unfortunately did not fulfill the mission entrusted to him by his master, and soon after, he was found dead at a table in an inn. There were more than a dozen jars of fine wine beside him, but it was obvious that he no longer had the blessing to take them.

'Dead too much to die anymore. Di Renjie tested his snort, then observed his pupils and facial muscle expressions, and came to this conclusion very decisively.

Zhuge Liang, who came with him, no longer cared about the cause of his death, in fact, no one else in this world knew better than him how this guy died. Others may think that this drunk guy is alcoholic, but he knows that the drink he drinks has long been adulterated with the world's most toxic substance.

At today's level of productivity, there is no technology that can detect this toxic ingredient called dioxin. This person's sudden condition is not the same as that of most herbal poisons. So, no one in this era can see the real cause of his death.

Except for Zhuge Liang and a few people, this secret will not spread on a wider scale. Of course, he did not need to take stricter secrecy for the sake of this secret, for war had already begun, and any disturbance that undermined the peace was no longer important, and even if these questions seemed dishonorable, there was nothing more capable of destroying the harmonious relations between the two sides than war.

The army under the command of Xiao Maha is now on the way to pursue the remnants of Nurhachi. This is the last resistance in the Northeast, and it has always been the place where disasters in the Central Plains have occurred since the three ancient ethnic groups of the Northeast such as the Sushen people.

Now, the last separatist forces in this black land will also be wiped out. In their place, there will be flat, vast fields of farmland and Nurhachi's descendants who worked here as prisoners of war.

Maybe they will set off one uprising after another, but that is no longer something that Xiao Maha should consider. Officials exercising the administrative power of the region. Will be sent here soon.

Whether they are officials of the Ming Dynasty or a new type of talent that the Empire is trying to cultivate, it will not affect the governance of the Empire with you. The relevant administrative framework was already in the management of the empire. It's been discussed many times. It is believed that such an administrative system will build the area into an important agricultural and industrial base. As for the Jurchen tribes living here, it is very likely that their fate will not be taken care of.

'Look, General! ‘

Just when Xiao Maha was constantly thinking about the future development of the Northeast region. More than a dozen heralds who rushed quickly were immediately discovered by his lieutenant. If not for their clothing. and the horses they were riding, which belonged to the standard equipment of the empire, and I was afraid that Xiao Maha's guards would shoot arrows indiscriminately and kill them instantly.

It wasn't until the dozen or so herald cavalry rushed to Xiao Maha that he noticed that the herald at the head was carrying an urgent order issued directly from the cabinet.

The empire, which had just been formed, had its own independent military chain of command. Even the Prime Minister. There is also no direct say in the question of military command. Even if it is a matter of personnel appointment and dismissal, it needs to be approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives before it can be directly implemented.

Unless, the emperor of the empire issued an edict of diameter, because the cabinet members themselves were the emperor's secretaries, which was exactly the same as the system of the Ming Dynasty, even if their official titles did not have the title of scholars. Rather, like the Song Dynasty, it was called Pingzhang Affairs and Participation in Governor's Affairs. But what they actually fulfill, which is based on the identity of the secretary, is not justified in the name of the power.

It's actually a form of checks and balances. Prevent the civilian clique from making too many unnecessary political and military mistakes at the time of imperial expansion. However, this system of checks and balances did not restrain the imperial power, and the authority and ability of the emperors did not need to be constrained by the system. At least as it stands, that's how it looks.

So. The emperor's edict can be directly made into a legally binding order as long as it is written by the cabinet members, and they do not even need to sign their own names, let alone the person in charge of supervision.

This would have been unthinkable in other dynasties. Only the Qing emperor in the pigtail drama had the so-called right to die for military dignitaries and ministers. In other dynasties in our country's history, the power of the monarch is often restricted.

The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Nowadays, we no longer know what Mencius was emphasizing when he said this. Even the stupid descendants of Confucianism, as always, pursued the fine tradition of taking words out of context and then enshrined them as a guideline, we cannot ignore the pivotal position that this sentence occupied in the subsequent 2,000 years of Chinese history.

But this inheritance has now been broken. When Xiao Maha received the letter from the herald leader, he looked at the man in confusion. This is the first time he has come into contact with such a classical way of transmitting information since he was reborn.

But when he finished reading the latest order, he didn't have time to sigh here!

'Order, the whole army will go to the Mongolian steppe!' The emperor has found a new object of meritorious service for us. ‘

When he reached the ears of the soldiers, the whole movie was thrown into a frenzied cheer.

War, in many cases, is life and death, but in some special times, the side that has won a huge victory in a short period of time will not realize that the possible asymmetric war will carry a heavy burden on their economic development.

Moreover, this group of soldiers, mainly from the 11th and 17th centuries, was never educated in relevant theories. All the brainwashing education they receive in the barracks has only one core value, that is, soldiers, obeying orders as their duty.

Today, they are dressed in military equipment that exceeds those of this era, and they are walking on the road of victory with their heads held high, and their hearts are filled with pure joy, and no one realizes that in the days to come, they say that for the sake of victory, serious side effects will gradually become apparent.

What they're looking forward to now is how they can find a second ship like this easy war, to put a few more bars on their shoulders, or something like a beanie star.

That's a good explanation. Why didn't he hear that a new war was waiting for them, and still be able to cheer and celebrate so wildly?

If this is a group of Ming Dynasty troops, then the military governor here is probably busy handing out the silver bounty before the camp is raised. One comes. This is the purpose and motivation of the soldiers to fight, and secondly, the backwardness of military equipment and management has led to the soldiers being more afraid of death without self-confidence.

But at the moment morale is reaching the Imperial troops. There is no need to think about this aspect at all.

The subordinates who scattered and attacked in all directions, and were capturing the remnants of the other party's forces, quickly regrouped after receiving Xiao Maha's order. The carnival continued to pass between them, until a serious question appeared in the mind of a fairly calm commander, and the emotion, which seemed even a little out of control, slowly cooled down.

'It's too far, it's too far, and there's a good chance we're not there yet. There's nothing we do there. ‘

After this sentence came out, many people slowly realized that military merit was not so easy to achieve. At least, Yang Dayan, who is near the Mongolian steppe, has a greater advantage than them in terms of time, place, and people. At the very least, they can rush to the predetermined battlefield in a shorter time.

As long as there is this advantage, it is enough. In the face of the army, which completely surpassed this era in terms of equipment, Xiao Maha and his commanders never considered the so-called warriors of the Mongolian steppe. Able to withstand the opponent's attack.

Presumably, Yang Dayan, who has always liked quick battles, will definitely not drag his feet in this battle. Judging from his own characteristics, he is a realistic version of the Shenxing Taibao. History has recorded that he could be as fast as a galloping horse. Thinking about such a person, it is not impossible not to understand the importance of blitzkrieg and surprise.

According to this situation, when their troops arrived at the battlefield, Yang Dayan probably wouldn't even give them the bone broth left, and they ran all the way over but couldn't get the credit they wanted. This is not what the soldiers want to see.

Xiao Maha also noticed the problem, but he was not frustrated by it, but he was not in a hurry to say his solution, after all, there was something too manic and the atmosphere had to cool down. You must know that in ancient wars, such a thing as bombing a camp was very terrible.

After the soldiers' mood gradually calmed down, Xiao Maha told some senior commanders what he was thinking.

'General, you mean light trucks, what's that?' I've never heard of it. ‘

Xiao Maha just smiled slightly, and was not prepared to explain this kind of problem too much to his subordinates, after all, it is beyond this era, no matter how to explain it, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain clearly, not to mention that he is not a professional in this area, he is just a simple martial artist, or rather, he just wants to be a simple martial artist, without considering complex political issues, and economic problems that sound like a big headache.

But as the upper echelons of the empire, the military, will always be only in the service of politics. As for the economy, it is the basis of politics and military affairs, and its importance is far greater than that of all the generals of the empire.

'We have been planning for a long time for this decisive battle on the grassland. Zhuge Liang said to Li Qingzhao.

But Li Qingzhao didn't seem to have any feelings for his words. He only cared about his own stock now, and any other aspect of the construction of the empire seemed to have nothing to do with him. It was only when Dalton set up the stock exchange two days ago that he made an exception and asked about two related sentences. Of course, the decisions he made afterwards did not necessarily benefit the country. At the first time, he applied to open an account with this exchange and traded related stocks and funds.

Li Qingzhao is no longer a dispensable person, he occupies a pivotal position in the empire. Many people were paying attention to his words and deeds, including his application to open an account on the Dalton Exchange this time, which quickly spread within the empire's network.

His actions were taken by many immigrants from the 21st century as a signal that the empire wanted to develop its financial industry. As a result, many locals, including many locals who had just improved their upgrades, joined the stock trading market like him.

However, the empire does not want to pay too much attention to the development of high technology in the initial development period, and the first thing they should do is the application of basic technology, so among the technology stocks listed on the Dalton Exchange, the more high-sounding technology companies are, the more the stock price will fall endlessly.

Li Qingzhao once jokingly said that on the big screen of the entire trading hall, it looks like the Mongolian steppe, and the green can't be greener anymore.

Those who followed her into the stock market also licked their wounds while pretending to be nothing, and joked, this is really a grassland market!

As a result, the grassland market has become a very widely spread word. It is often used to describe a severe market downturn.

However, the Empire's latest military campaign has taken on a new meaning to the term.

With the demand for the emperor's affairs, more and more vehicles have been manufactured, and the performance of the corresponding enterprises has also improved rapidly. Their share price has almost doubled in just a few trading days.

Due to the fact that the marching route of the emperor team is not flat, almost all vehicles need to be modified with higher strength shock absorption, so even the enterprises that produce springs are also stained with light.

Finally, the stock price of the Dahan Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Group, which is listed in the Splendid Kingdom, has risen sharply as investors expect that the empire will establish more farms and pastures in the soon-to-be-recovered Mongolian steppes, resulting in a significant increase in the group's profits.

Since then, the investors of the empire have set their sights on the army. Because their actions often mean a new wave of grassland market.

Nowadays, the term grassland market has become a reference to those markets derived from the benefits of military operations, which lead to a sharp rise in stock prices.

The military is no longer just serving politics, that is, not just serving the political goals of a very small number of politicians. He has now become, with a scimitar and a firearm in his hand, a quasi-economic behavior that brings income to every ordinary investor. (To be continued.) )
