There has never been a shortage of smart people in the world, especially for the high-level families of Ning Chu, when they appeared on the stock exchange, they were very keenly aware of the potential behind it, among which risk sharing is secondary, and more importantly, the amplification of the scale of wealth, this role is even more admirable.

To put it simply, the scale of wealth that the Qian Chamber of Commerce can mobilize in the process of engaging in trade with Japan can be intuitively expressed by the number of ships, and the larger the fleet, the more wealth it represents, but the wealth that the Qian can mobilize is limited, and the ships that can be mobilized are also very limited.

However, after the stock exchange is enlarged, countless private free funds can enter the stock exchange and become the shares of the Qian Chamber of Commerce, so as to reach the accounts of the Qian merchants, so that President Qian can mobilize ten times or even a hundred times the scale of wealth, build more sea ships, and earn more profits, thereby boosting the shares of the Qian Chamber of Commerce to further rise, and the shareholders who make money will naturally further buy or hold stocks.

Therefore, in this environment, all those who do not have suitable projects but have a large amount of funds will choose to select a few projects with vast investment potential and make large-scale investments, such as Cui Yu, the president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, who is a big customer who selects projects in the stock exchange.

On the top floor of the stock exchange, Cui Yu looked at the vast crowd downstairs with a smile on his face, and said: "The Financial Department of the Ministry of Finance has been able to develop to this point today, and Director Wang is really impressive. ”

Wang Youdun, deputy director of the Financial Department of the Ministry of Finance, also had a smile on his face, he was the top five during the first imperial examination, and Peng Qifeng, Wu Jingzi and Liu Tongxun were on par with these people, but compared with Peng Qifeng, who served in the Department of Press and Publication, and Wu Jingzi, who served in the Executive Yuan-run company, he was a little low-key, and even Liu Tongxun, who is now serving in the local government, has a much greater reputation than Wang Youdun.

Therefore, to the world, Wang Youdun was much inferior to his classmates, but he was not much discouraged, but seized the opportunity, and after a period of confusion in the Ministry of Finance, he decisively joined the newly established financial department, and with the help of Ernst, opened the stock exchange in front of him.

You must know that Wang Youdun didn't understand anything at the beginning, so he had to humbly ask Ernst and other Westerners for advice, and even took the information of the stock exchange opened in the Netherlands to study.

"President Cui is really overrated, Wang just did some things that should be done, and he can be regarded as living up to His Majesty's high expectations." The more excited Wang Youdun was in his heart, the more calm his face became.

Cui Yu looked at Wang Youdun in front of him with admiration, and said with a smile: "Do it well, Your Majesty still attaches great importance to the stock exchange, as long as you make achievements, it must not be particularly difficult to enter the cabinet in the future." ”

"Cabinet........ How can he be a subordinate official? Wang Youdun's heart jumped, but he seemed a lot nervous, after all, for officials in the world, who doesn't want to enter the cabinet as the last first assistant?

In the current civil service system of Ningchu, although there are many parts of the shadow of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but there is obviously a big difference, such as the qualifications for entering the cabinet, there is no need to have the qualifications of Hanlin as in the Ming Dynasty, simply put, as long as you have profound grassroots work experience and a certain amount of central ministry work, you are eligible to become a candidate for the cabinet.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Youdun to fantasize so far away at the moment, after all, if he wants to enter the cabinet, he has to go through at least two local and two divisions and one experience of the cabinet secretary, otherwise he will not even have qualifications. According to Ning Chu's current official system, it will take at least twelve to fifteen years for these three officials to be officials.

According to the full examination, a local two officials or ministers and cabinet officials are usually two years to take the exam, three exams are full, the normal logic of promotion is to take six years, but because the full examination is divided into upper, middle, lower three, if the three times are superior, you can subtract two years, that is, four years can be transferred once, if there is only one superior or three are medium, then it can only be calculated according to the original six years, if there is only one medium or all inferior, then you have to congratulate the brother on being laid off and re-employed.

That's right, if you don't meet the standard after the three exams, there is no way to deal with demotion, there is only one way to go, that is, to remove from office, as for whether you can become an official again, you have to go back to the exam, and start from the lowest from the bottom nine grades.

Therefore, Ning Chu's official is easy to do and not easy to do, everyone can be an official after the initial Xiucai test, but it is not so simple to upgrade, as for the continuous examination is inferior, it means that the brother is not suitable to be an official, let's go and do something else, don't come to harm the people.

Wang Youdun is only a deputy director-level official of the ministry at the moment, not to mention 108,000 miles away from the position of the first assistant, but it will take at least twenty or thirty years of grinding and surveying.

Cui Yu smiled and said: "Director Wang is indeed humble, although your friends in the same department are currently walking farther than you, but in the entire officialdom career, hehe, it is actually nothing...... The four ministers in the next 20 years have little to do with you, but in 20 years, there are no other accidents, and the ministers may have to be selected from among you, and Director Wang still has a good chance. ”

Wang Youdun pursed his lips slightly, and finally stopped his inner reverie, but just smiled: "President Cui is here today, presumably not for Wang's future." ”

"Of course not, Cui came here because he wanted to invest." Cui Yu's face was also much more solemn when he talked about his intention.

Wang Youdun was a little curious, "Then I don't know what stocks President Cui wants to invest in?" Today, the presidents of the major chambers of commerce are here, as well as the treasurers of the Northeast Resources Development Co., Ltd., Myanmar Resources Development Co., Ltd., and North Korea Resources Development Co., Ltd., basically all of them are here, why don't you invite them to talk? ”

"It's okay, Cui came here this time to invest in all the companies."

"This ......."

Cui Yu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty entrusted the Royal Chamber of Commerce to Cui, but not for Cui to be the overlord...... In fact, this is also His Majesty's instruction, each chamber of commerce will invest some, but not a lot, about one-tenth of the shares, mainly to unite the major chambers of commerce. ”

"I see, Your Majesty is really far-sighted!" Wang Youdun arched his hand to the sky, and said with a slight smile on his face.

........

Fengtian Palace, the Great Dynasty Meeting, there was a burst of fragrance in the stove, and the whole hall was full of warmth.

Hundreds of Ning Chu officials stood in the Fengtian Hall in two columns, looking at Ning Yu in the position of the dragon chair above with a solemn expression, and bowed their hands, it was really not easy for them to see the emperor at the moment, after all, the emperor had to make trouble in the north and south often, and even the great court meetings had become irregularly held.

Of course, the real matters to be discussed are basically discussed at the small court meeting and the joint cabinet meeting, and the convening of the big court meeting is just a walk-in process, which seems to be a lot of people, but it is not so important.

"Your Majesty, Foreign Minister Wu has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live."

In the middle of the two rows of ministers, there was a kneeling person, who was wearing the official clothes of the former Ming Dynasty, but the whole person looked very rude, not so much a minister, but not a pig killer.

In fact, Wu Wai was indeed a butcher before the rebellion, followed the eldest brother Huang Dian to take refuge in Zhu Yigui, and later rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and now he has become a minister of Zhu Yigui's small court.

"Zhu Yigui wants to enclose the news, but is it true?" Ning Yu looked at Wu Wai aggressively.

Wu Wai was suddenly a little nervous, and he said angrily: "Back to Your Majesty, it is exactly like this, King Zhongxing and General Huang think that Your Majesty is the name of God, and now the industry has also completed the great cause of expelling the Tartars. ”

Ning Yu smiled, "Naturally, there is no inaccurate reason for this matter, but I also understand that King Zhongxing is attached at this time, and it is not a willing move, if I regret it in the future, it will be very difficult for me to do it." ”

"This ......." Wu Wai suddenly hesitated, if Zhu Yigui was determined to be attached, not to mention that the emperor didn't believe it, he Wu Wai didn't believe it first, wouldn't it be a big disaster at that time?

"If you want to attach it, why do you keep repeating it now? Don't you deceive me and no one? ”

Shoufu Cui Wancai stood up and scolded coldly, he arched his hand towards Ning Yu and said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yigui's generation is faithful, and he will regret it tomorrow today, it is better to send a general to lead the army to go down in one go, so as to completely solve the trouble." ”

"No...... Back to Your Majesty, King Zhongxing has no reason to regret it, since it is to be attached, it is natural to be attached, but there is a small requirement. Wu Wai's face was a little apprehensive.

"What requirements? Let's hear it. ”

"The Dutch intercepted and killed our merchant ships in Malacca, and asked Your Majesty to send a large army to seek peace." Wu Wai said it in one go, but after he finished speaking, he peeked at the emperor, only to find that Ning Yu's eyes were about to look at him, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Ning Yu sneered in his heart, what intercepted and killed merchant ships? Isn't it him, Zhu Yigui, who wants to throw this mess to me? If the army of the Chinese faction is unable to pacify the Dutch, what kind of face will there be to take back Taiwan at that time? If it really wants to be settled, it means that it is not a problem to capture Taiwan, and when the time comes, he Zhu Yigui will also be able to get a good death.

I have to say that none of these people who fight the country are simple, even Liu Ruhan wanted to borrow his Ning Yu's hand to do his own thing, but Ning Yu was backhanded to the bottom of the kettle.

"I know what Zhu Yigui is thinking, but I also agreed to this matter......."

Ning Yu nodded in response, and then sneered: "But I also want to tell your envoy to go back and play a clear response to Zhu Yigui, I didn't agree because I wanted him to attach it, but I was going to fight the Dutch, even if there was no such thing as him, Nanyang would not be able to show off the Dutch's might!" ”

"Yes, the foreign minister will obey His Majesty's will." Wu Wai's face suddenly shed a lot of cold sweat, in front of this Saint Monarch today, there must be no one who would not tremble.

After the end of the court meeting, Ning Yu, accompanied by Cui Wancai, the first assistant to the cabinet, and others, drove to the Privy Council located on the west side of the cabinet, only to see that Ujijing, deputy minister of the General Staff, had already been waiting for a long time, and the other was Qiu Ze, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and also the minister of the navy, and behind the two were a number of high-ranking officials of the Privy Council.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Under the guidance of everyone in the Privy Council, Ning Yu walked in the direction of the battle planning room, and said with a smile as he walked: "I remember that I came to the Privy Council a few days ago, and it seems that there are not so many people. ”

Ujijing said solemnly: "Your Majesty, now the Privy Council and the Central Army Military Academy have reached a training agreement to select a group of outstanding staff officers from the Staff Department of the Army Military Academy for Privy Council internships...... At the end of the three-month internship, they will be sent back. ”

Ning Yu nodded and said, "They are all the fresh blood of our army, they must be cultivated well, and the staff system will only become more and more perfect in the future.......

Ujijing suddenly couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "With Your Majesty's words, Weichen's confidence is even stronger, and the staff system will be fully implemented in the future...... Ahem......."

"Call the Imperial Doctor."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Immediately, a member of the chamber of the chamber walked out and walked briskly towards the outside of the Privy Council, and it was common for the emperor to accompany at least two imperial physicians on each trip to prevent any accidents.

Fortunately, this time Ning Yu was followed by Ye Tianshi, a doctor from Tai Hospital, who can be called the number one doctor in Dachu today, so Ning Yu was not particularly worried in his heart.

After Ye Tianshi hurried into the Privy Council, he quickly saw Ning Yu, who was calm and composed, and breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, no matter what, as long as it wasn't the emperor's problem, it would be fine....... It's just that when Ye Tianshi saw Ujijing, who was coughing, he sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, General Yu's body bones are an old problem....... If you want to cure General Yu's body, you must let him leave the army, and you can't bother from now on, otherwise even if you are an old man, you will only have no skills to return to heaven. ”

Ye Tianshi had a wry smile on his face, he was really familiar with Ujijing, and he knew his body well.

Ning Yu pondered, when Uzhijing was seriously injured in Jiujiang, although he also recovered from his injuries, but the roots were almost ruined, and later he was promoted to the Privy Council, away from the front-line combat troops, thinking that it would be for him to recuperate well - but he didn't expect that he would be unable to continue with the errand of the Privy Council alone.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then I will give General Yu a long vacation first-"

"Your Majesty, the minister is fine..... It's just a small old injury, and it doesn't deserve His Majesty's care. ”

A wry smile appeared on Ujikei's face, he shook off the hand around him, tried to stand up straight, and after a long sigh of relief, he regained his capable appearance.
