The sky was dark and misty, and there was already a dense crowd of people standing outside the door of the Confession Hall.

Xiao Qi was crowded in the crowd, and there were still traces of night dew on the hem of his clothes, he was originally in front of the crowd, but when it was about to dawn, some fierce scoundrels and idlers seized the front position. Before dawn, there was no state army and government service outside the Zhengxin Hall to maintain order, Xiao Qi and other honest people in line dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and were squeezed to the back of the line, after a while, the Zhengxin Hall opened its doors to do business, when the first to go in nature were those scoundrels and idlers in front, at this time, the state army that came belatedly began to maintain order, and the people who still came from time to time were inserted in front of the long line, for ordinary people, the threshold of the Zhengxin Hall was so far away.

"Alas-" Xiao Qi sighed, and if he couldn't wait another day, he would pack up and go home.

In the distance of the long street, the crowd suddenly stirred, "Your Highness, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has come down!" ”

People whispered. Surprised, curious, grateful, speculative...... All kinds of eyes fell on an official sedan chair in the middle of the long street.

"Look, that's the princess of Wu Kingdom!"

"Why did Her Royal Highness come here in person?"

"Nonsense, the South China Sea Coupon has made such a big storm, what's wrong with the main family coming over to take a look?"

"Yes, alas—I've been waiting honestly for two days, and I don't know if there's any blessing with the princess's light!"

The official sedan chair is the style of the Yunding yellow mantle blue screen window, and there are apricot yellow umbrellas in the front and back.

A team of guards held a sign of evasion, and it was the identity of the eldest princess of the Wu Kingdom.

Since the eldest princess arrived in Yangzhou, she lived in a simple house, and donated the house near the state city as a museum for the people to increase their knowledge, and her reputation in the nearby states and counties was very good.

Early in the morning, her Luan driver appeared outside the certificate hall, which immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

The road in front of Zhengxin Hall was already crowded, but where Luan drove through, the people gave way one after another.

Behind the blue screen, Zhao Huan lowered his head. Envoy He said that in order to preserve the credibility of Zhengxintang, that is, to maintain the reputation of the husband, this is also for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty needs Zhengxintang. Mr. Su said that Deng Xianggong is not only a friend of his husband, but also a confidant minister relied on by the emperor's brother, he has just ascended to the phase, not only to stabilize the domestic situation, but also to prepare for the Northern Expedition to Liao, a snow national shame, this letter hall is an extremely important part of Deng Xianggong's layout, and the people's hearts must not be lost. Under the persuasion of Mr. Su and He Zhong, Zhao Huan finally agreed to cooperate with them in this scene, and came forward to limit the purchase of South China Sea bonds to less than 20 times, delaying the time for the fall of South China Sea bonds.

The carriage stopped. "Your Highness, the Hall of Confession has arrived."

Zhao Huan nodded, the palace maid lifted the sedan curtain, she got off the sedan chair, and when she turned around, there was a sea of people waiting for the transaction outside the Zhengxin Hall, just like the Liao people who invaded the south and fled in groups. Su Tongfu was already waiting outside the gate of the Zhengxin Hall to introduce Zhao Huan into the hall. At this time, all the shopkeepers stopped their transactions, stood up and saluted Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the originally noisy hall was quiet, and no one dared to make a noise if it wasn't for the eldest princess to ask. The forbidden army separated the trading crowd and cleared a passage for the eldest princess, and these people did not have the slightest look of dissatisfaction, but were excited and nervous. Zhao Huan was born beautiful, and several scoundrels watched her walk into the hall of the Zhengxin Hall step by step because they didn't know how to count etiquette. Zhao Huan didn't care, and walked to the front of the cabinet with a light move.

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhao Huan was a little flustered, this was the first time she had shown her face.

Trying her best to maintain her solemnity and composure, she completely stepped on the pre-choreographed steps and walked to the table where He Xuanzan was originally sitting.

The servants had already removed the Taishi chair from Envoy He and replaced it with a soft rattan chair brought out of the princess's mansion.

Zhao Huan nodded, sat down, and his eyes fell on the ledger and stock notes that were like a hill on the left side of the case. Even when he was in Ezhou, Zhao Huan never checked the accounts in person, and the account books in the princess's mansion were kept by the envoy, and Zhao Xingde's account books outside the mansion were kept by Liu Wengu. However, at this time, Lieutenant Envoy He sent a thin account book to Zhao Huan with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is the transaction ledger, please look at it Your Highness." Listening to his tone, others thought that the eldest princess of Wu usually checked the account books, and the amount of the South China Sea bond transaction was hundreds of thousands of yuan in just one day, so it was no wonder that the eldest princess wanted to come to the Zhengxin Hall in person.

Only this one tour, I don't know what variables will be born?

Could it be that His Royal Highness suddenly rose up and found that this stock of bonds was not cost-effective, and suddenly changed his attitude and no longer bought Nanhai bonds?

Thinking of this section, the hearts of many people in the Hall of Confession couldn't help but hang, and the eyes that fell on Zhao Huan were a little more speculative.

Zhao Huan slowly flipped through the account book page by page, every time she frowned, every time she paused, it would attract some people's "heartbeat".

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Huan closed the account book, raised his head, and praised He Xuan: "I heard that there are thousands of people who have bought South China Sea coupons, and most of them hold one share or two shares of Shengdou Xiaomin. Therefore, this time I bought the South China Sea bonds at a price higher than the market price, and I hope to be able to buy the stock bonds in the hands of ordinary people as much as possible, after all, for the rich family, the loss of a sum of money on the South China Sea bonds is just a lack of money in the account, and for ordinary people, it is likely that the whole family will have no livelihood. Zhao Huanmei's eyes revealed a trace of worry, she was silent for a while, as if making a difficult decision, and asked: "Mr. Su, I only buy one or two shares for each transaction, I don't know if it fits your articles of association?" ”

In the main hall of the Zhengxin Hall in the capital, although Zhao Huan's words were light, hundreds of people could hear them clearly.

This sentence was like a pebble thrown into the calm water, and it immediately stirred up ripples. Especially those who held a large amount of stock bonds in their hands and were eager to sell them to the eldest princess of Wu, even their eyes were red. Before Su Tongfu could answer, a buzzing noise sounded in the hall. "How can this work?!" "We've finally got here, and we can only sell one or two shares?" "No, absolutely not!!"

"In front of the eldest princess," He Xuanzan's face sank, and he scolded: "Who dares to make a noise again?!" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the guards of the forbidden army shouted in unison: "In front of Your Highness, no noise!" ”

Although the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but talk about things and gave preferential treatment to scholars, it was only a doctor, and the royal system and court official authority were no less than those of the previous dynasty. Most of the people in the hall are holding the seal letter on behalf of the errand office or idle man, almost no one has a meritorious name, usually a county lord travels, far away to hear the gong to avoid, see the avoidance of the sign on the side of the road respectfully wait for the master to pass before moving, otherwise eat a blow or two water and fire sticks or light, if the official shakes the iron chain lock and takes it to prison, if you don't die, you have to take off the skin. These people were also forgetful for a while, and they didn't expect that Princess Wu was His Majesty's sister and the wife of Empress Wuchang, and her status was even higher than that of ordinary magistrates and magistrates. Thinking of this, everyone in the hall was silent, and the person who spoke loudly just now was vaguely afraid at this time.

The atmosphere in the hall changed suddenly, and there was a solemn aura in the quiet.

"Your Highness," Su Tongfu said respectfully, "Stock and securities trading depends on resources, and His Highness can buy two shares if he wants, but ......" His face was embarrassed, and he muttered: "It's just that the Zhengxin Hall has a limited space, and if there is a big buyer who buys two shares like this, he will not be able to complete the transaction, but he will occupy all the places, so that others will not be able to trade smoothly." Therefore, the contemptible people think that if His Highness insists on buying only one or two shares at a time, he will take more than half of the current counter and give up the other counters for others to trade, so as not to say that His Highness is bullying others and interfering with the transaction of the Zhengxintang. ”

Su Tongfu's reply was neither humble nor arrogant, not hurried or slow, and this kind of bearing made people heartbreaking.

The shopkeeper next to him, most of the bookkeepers in the trading hall nodded secretly while listening, and some people thought: "Mr. Su, who is worthy of being a smiling and proud minister, said 'bullying' in front of the eldest princess, if I would never dare." Those idlers were staring at each other with big eyes and inexplicable looks.

"In that case," Zhao Huan nodded and said softly, "Then let's do what Mr. Su said." ”

After explaining the next step to buy stocks, she got up and left.

In order to prevent others from queuing up unjustly, Zhengxintang announced the news that Princess Wu only bought one or two shares of stock bonds per transaction in order to take care of the common people, that is, the amount of each transaction was only ten or twenty yuan, and the people queuing outside suddenly boiled, and people like Xiao Qi were even more cheerful. Because in this way, most of the small people who lined up saw the hope of getting rid of the stocks and securities in their hands. The people who had the intention of trading hundreds of shares and thousands of large sums of shares today had gloomy faces, and from time to time someone walked out of the queue and trotted back to ask the owner for instructions on how to deal with this sudden situation.

"Look, Your Highness is out!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess is out!"

Seeing that the eldest princess of the country Wu got into the official sedan chair, the crowd began to surge, and Xiao Qi was as excited as everyone else.

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess!" Someone started shouting. More people shouted: "Her Royal Highness the princess Chitose!" ”

"Princess Wu Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

Many people stayed outside the Zhengxin Hall one or two hours before dawn, at this time they were tired to the extreme, and even spoke weakly, however, at this time, the crowd was excited, and the cry was like a mountain echoing the sea, when someone staggered and knelt down beside the road, more people knelt down, and those who were standing were abrupt, and they knelt down, and after a while, both sides of the road of the Zhengxin Hall were full of grateful people, and people were reading the sentences of good praise and good prayers, while watching the official sedan chair of the yellow curtain of Yunding slowly leave.
