"Zhaotong, this Miyun Mining is still one or two pieces of silver, right?"

After Zhu Fu gave another order to the housekeeper, he looked at Li Zhaotong again and asked the questions he was concerned about.

"That's right! One tael of silver per share, uncle, you can only buy 200,000 shares from your nephew at most. Li Zhaotong replied affirmatively.

This time, Zhu Fu did not answer directly, he said to Li Zhaotong affectionately:

"Zhaotong! You are your uncle's nephew, and your uncle believes in you, so he agreed, but you are not familiar with other families!

It's not easy for you to do this job!

In this way, you sell 300,000 shares to your uncle, and your uncle helps you to convince other nobles, how about it? ”

The five items of salt, iron, copper cloth and tea are the core industries of Daming, and they are also the most profitable projects.

Now, Miyun Mining, the major shareholder is the emperor, was born, and the benevolent emperor decided to sell part of his shares to appease the minister of civil and military affairs for the sake of the national economy and people's livelihood.

Hurry up and fight for more shares!

Zhu Fu, who figured this out, looked for Li Zhaotong with a green light in his eyes, trying to make Li Zhaotong loosen.

"Hmmm......"

Li Zhaotong deliberately pondered for a moment, and then fell up conveniently:

"Okay! Then this matter will trouble my uncle! ”

"No trouble! No hassle! ”

A few words can tear such a big piece of cake, Zhu Fu was so happy in his heart, and even his face showed a bright smile like a chrysanthemum.

……

The momentum continues.

On the third day, the noon dynasty.

"Your Majesty, good news, there is a lot of pig iron on the market, and the price of iron is falling!" The Tobu Shangshu Sutra brings good news.

"I know."

Emperor Hongzhi was proud in his heart, and he really knew that Li Zhaotong was a lucky star, and this time in the past two days, the upward trend of iron prices was suppressed.

"Your Majesty knows?"

Zhou Jing was extremely surprised, then he thought about it carefully, and then asked tentatively:

"Your Majesty, is it true that the rumors that Your Majesty found iron ore in Miyun?"

"Well, it's true!"

Emperor Hongzhi had already known about this matter through Zhu Houzhao's mouth, and Zhu Houzhao also told Emperor Hongzhi about Li Zhaotong's plan.

Now, Emperor Hongzhi is acting in accordance with Li Zhaotong's plan.

"I confiscated the land of the Marquis of Shouning in Miyun County some time ago, and I sent people to investigate the situation of the land, but the people I sent accidentally found an iron mine."

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently, he was not worried about the fake, because after Zhu Houzhao reported to him, he urgently sent someone to Jubaozhuang in Miyun County to investigate, and it turned out that there was really an iron mine.

"Accidentally ......"

Emperor Hongzhi's indifference fell in Zhou Jing's eyes, but it was a little heart-wrenching, can this iron ore be discovered by accident?

But with the facts in front of him, Zhou Jing could only shout "Your Majesty's blessings are all over the sky".

Because of this...... Except for some persecution by the "guidance of the gods", only great luck can explain it!

After all, it was the Wu Dynasty, although it was more casual than the Early Dynasty, but Zhou Jing did not dare to lose his temper for a long time, he suppressed the iron heart that was stabbed, and continued to ask Emperor Hongzhi:

"Your Majesty, it is rumored that His Majesty gave the old ash factory to His Royal Highness the Prince, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open a tooth shop there that specializes in selling what shares, and then prepare to sell the share of iron ore, is it also true?"

"It's true." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, "But Aiqing is wrong, it's not called Yaxing, it's called the Ming Imperial Stock Exchange, it's an official office under the direct jurisdiction of me and the prince is personally responsible, not a place to make money." ”

"Your Majesty, can you explain the function of the stock exchange and the scope of its jurisdiction?"

Liu Jian was anxious, and now that he encountered a blind spot in knowledge, he rushed to ask in front of Zhou Jing.

"Heehyun, let me explain this! This Daming Royal Stock Exchange was made by the dog Li Zhaotong, and what is it is passed on by the ancestor of the Li family, I happen to understand. ”

Li Dongyang suddenly stood up and spoke, this is actually a tacit understanding reached between him and Emperor Hongzhi, because the stock market exchange is really like a tooth shop, and once it is said to be a tooth shop, the emperor and the crown prince are suspected of competing with the people for profit.

At that time, those speech officials will be the New Year!

Even, the Daming Royal Stock Exchange may be assigned to the name of the household department, then the Li family will suffer a huge loss!

Because Li Zhaotong has already explained to Li Dongyang that although there are not many shares on the Ming Royal Stock Exchange, as long as the Li family does not rebel, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, and there are shares in this Cheng, it can ensure that the Li family is rich and prosperous!

Rich and rich!

This temptation is too great, and Li Dongyang can't be moved!

For the future of the Li family, he also needs to stand on the emperor's side.

"Old man? What about honeycomb coal? Liu Jian was a little suspicious.

"Hmm."

Li Dongyang nodded, and then explained:

According to the dog Li Zhaotong, it is said that the sage Lao Dan considered that the way of food and goods is actually the road of the world, so it was also praised by the sage Lao Dan as the way of economy.

The foundation of this economic way lies in the circulation of goods! Only the more frequent the circulation of commodities, the way of economy will be prosperous!

However, the reality is that due to the lack of capital in many merchants, the scale of the commercial banks is small, and it is difficult to expand because of the lack of capital, so that the economic road cannot flourish.

The sage Lao Dan noticed this, and in order to solve this problem, he thought of a solution: raising funds! ”

"Fundraising?"

It's another new word, but most of the ministers present have a slight understanding of this word.

"That's right! Funds! Li Dongyang nodded affirmatively, and then continued:

"Under normal circumstances, businessmen do business, but the capital is not enough, they will choose to borrow money or partner with others, and partnering with other people is actually a kind of small-scale fundraising.

But this method is too limited! After all, the number of people is limited, and it is not much money to piece together only by relying on acquaintances to participate in shares. ”

"You mean partnering with strangers? But this credit problem ......"

When Liu Jian said this, he suddenly realized, "No! Could it be that the Daming Royal Stock Exchange is the credit issue of regulating fundraising? ”

"That's right! The Daming Royal Stock Exchange is to supervise the credit issue of fundraising, so that those commercial banks that want to raise funds will divide the shares into several shares and sell them to the general public for fund-raising under the supervision and management of the Daming Royal Stock Exchange.

The general public, on the other hand, holds shares as a proof of sharing with the firm.

As for the Daming Royal Stock Exchange, it is named in the name of Daming Royal, with the authority of the heavenly family, to ensure that the purchase of stocks, the interests of the general public participating in the fundraising will not be damaged.

In addition, the sage Lao Dan also considered that if someone wanted to quit halfway and no longer wanted to partner with this firm, he instructed his dog Li Zhaotong to open up a market on the Daming Royal Stock Exchange, which was dedicated to stock trading.

Therefore, this Daming Royal Stock Exchange is called the Daming Royal Stock Exchange, not Yaxing. ”

"Then this stock market exchange, it's okay to leave it to the household department!"

Zhou Jing muttered unwillingly and unconfidently.

He inquired clearly, this Ming Royal Stock Exchange, in the name of "stamp duty", will charge a commission to stock sellers, one out of thirty!

This money will not be handed over to the treasury of the Ministry of Households.

"Bo Chang, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be responsible! The amount of money involved is too large for the Ministry of Household Affairs to take on this responsibility. Yang Shousui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the secretary of Dali Temple, spoke.

He may be the person present who knows the Ming Imperial Stock Exchange best besides Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang.

Because Li Zhaotong and Zhu Houzhao both approached him for blacksmiths.

Even, the craftsmen sent by Emperor Hongzhi to Miyun Jubaozhuang to find iron ore were also selected by him.

Therefore, he has long paid attention to the movements in this area, and even bought 5,000 shares of Xishan Coal Industry and Miyun Mining from Li Zhaotong.

"Why?" Zhou Jing was not reconciled.

"Only Xishan Coal Industry and Miyun Mining are valued at a total of 20 million taels of silver, and last year's treasury income was 6 million taels of silver.

Bo Chang, such a large amount, do you dare to guarantee that some moths will not fill their pockets? Yang Shousui asked rhetorically.

"......"

Zhou Jing also wanted to say that among the eunuchs, there were more moths.

But at this time, Emperor Hongzhi didn't give him a chance to speak.

"This matter ends here, the Ming Royal Stock Exchange must be handed over to the crown prince to be responsible, this is the experience I gave him!"

"Your Majesty, the minister still has questions, why are Your Majesty's Xishan Coal Industry and Miyun Mining worth 10 million taels of silver?"

The iron-headed baby Zhou Jing still has to speak.

"It's very simple, because my Xishan Coal Industry and Miyun Mining can make more money than 10 million taels of silver!"

Emperor Hongzhi replied in a deep voice, he was a little dissatisfied with this Zhou Jing, but he glanced down, and the ministers were all looking at him, waiting for him to explain.

Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips and exhaled, saying:

"I won't hide it from you Aiqing, Xishan Coal Industry, according to the strict calculations I made when I found someone, can indeed make a profit of several million silver a year as Li Zhaotong said.

As for Miyun Mining, the sage Lao Dan taught Li Zhao a new iron-making method, which is said to be used to produce iron at a very fast speed and a huge amount of iron, which will subvert the iron-making industry of the Ming Dynasty.

Both of these are valued at 10 million taels of silver, so don't count it!

To be honest, if it weren't for the sake of the national economy and people's livelihood and for the eternal foundation of the Ming Dynasty, do you think I would be willing to sell the shares of these two? It's all money! ”

Although this was premeditated, when Emperor Hongzhi said it, he was full of emotion, because he was really distressed!

was bluffed by Li Zhaotong at the beginning, and easily agreed to the stinky boy, but the next day he immediately knew that it was not the case at all, and Xishan Coal Industry was actually very profitable!

If it weren't for the fact that Li Zhaotong had created another Miyun Mining, and that he did it for the sake of the national economy and the people's livelihood, Emperor Hongzhi really wanted to cut off Li Zhaotong's head!

It's all money!
