Since the Di Bao Division used flying pigeons to spread the news, the news in various places has been much faster than before. The news that the Nanhai Navy Division and the Guangzhou Prefecture were at odds, Zhao Xingde was placed under house arrest, the Navy Division mutinied and shelled Guangzhou and left, and the Haikou took advantage of the fire to loot and loot the news of Guangnan Prefecture County, which was transmitted to Yangzhou one after another. Yangzhou Zhengxin Hall, Su Tongfu, the director of Zhengxin Hall, made every effort to raise money and released the news of stabilizing the market, but he couldn't stop this situation of defeat. The price of stock bonds is declining, the government is helpless, and many people who bought stock bonds are even more like mourning.

"It's over, it's over!" Xiao Qi sighed and said, "I should have sold it a long time ago, but now I don't even have half of the capital." ”

In the past few days, he has been a little distracted, as long as he is free, he will be distracted, and he will sigh when he opens his mouth: "Alas, I should have sold it a long time ago." ”

The general trend is like the tide of the Qiantang River, and the ups and downs are not something that can be controlled by small people like Xiao Qi, and there are many wealthy businessmen and tycoons who have lost all their money, some sell their stocks and bonds at a low price, and they are in a hurry, and some people commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river without their money. These days, the whole Yangzhou, and even the entire southeast, are full of mourning. Although the buying and selling of stocks and securities were voluntary, and they knew in advance that the sea route was unpredictable, many people still sprinkled their anger on the Guangzhou Mansion and the South China Sea Sailors, and even Zhao Xingde himself.

The people complained, and even the Princess Mansion of Guazhou was not quiet.

"Alas, you are also dizzy and believe in Zhao Houye's sailor."

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess bought stock bonds, and I thought that it would not be wrong to follow the princess, alas......"

Someone on the other side of the corridor window complained in a low voice, Zhao Huan and the palace maid Peony were walking in the garden, and when they heard the sound, their eyes froze, and they stopped. She has a noble status, so she didn't have to eavesdrop on others, but when it came to her husband, she couldn't help but listen. Peony looked nervous. The princess's mansion in Wu Chuyuan has been converted into a museum, Zhao Huan rarely goes to it, and lives in the princess's mansion in Guazhoudu all the year round, saying that it is the princess's mansion, but in fact it is just a few separate courtyards in the back garden of the sailor camp, which is smaller than the mansion of the ordinary rich gentry's house. The place is small, and the palace maids are naturally needed. Just from the words just now, Peony could hear that it was the two palace maids who followed the princess from Ezhou who spoke, and one of them was also friendly with him.

Seeing that the princess stopped, Peony was secretly anxious, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Fortunately, the two palace maids were still measured, and after feeling sorry for themselves for a while, they left, and Peony also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness......"

"I've also heard a little about the stocks, but I didn't expect that this situation has affected the reputation of the concubine."

Zhao Huanmeiyu was shrouded in a little more melancholy. Since Zhao Xingde was detained, Peony has never seen His Highness smile. She stood in the pavilion and frowned for a moment of contemplation, sighed, and instructed Peony to invite the envoy of the princess's mansion to the flower hall to meet. The envoy He Xuanzan was responsible for handling the official affairs of the princess's mansion, and when he heard that Zhao Huan had summoned him, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately took two entourages to the Houhua Hall to see.

"The princess summoned the lower officials," Lieutenant Envoy He bowed his head and saluted, "I don't know what you command?" ”

"There is a lieutenant envoy." Zhao Huan said in a low voice, "I want to take out all the silver coins and cloth in the princess's treasury." ”

"Huh?" He Zhong's face changed slightly, "There are still more than 100,000 pieces of money and silk in the house, so many belongings, I don't know where it will be used?" ”

He Xuanzan is a seven-grade official of the imperial court, not the princess's private belonging, but his career is closely related to the princess, if the princess's behavior is absurd and inappropriate, the envoy does not fulfill the responsibility of admonishing, it is a dereliction of duty. After the Great Song Dynasty royal family was plundered by the Liao people and hunted in the north, the palace of the eldest princess of Wu was the only remaining golden branches and jade leaves, not only His Majesty rewarded him richly, but also the court was very favorable, she was self-serving and very thrifty, in addition to giving alms to the poor, the property was mostly hidden in the treasury, and now Zhao Huan suddenly wanted to take out all the property, which shocked He Xuanzan. These are the princess's private property, and how to use them is the princess's business, but he is afraid that the eldest princess will be deceived by others, or do something shocking, and in the future, the officials will evaluate him, and it will be difficult for him, the princess's envoy, to pass the test.

His thoughts, Zhao Huandong looked at the fire, and replied: "Lord He, why bother, these money will be used to buy South China Sea stocks?" ”

"Huh?" He Xuanzan almost raised his head to look directly at Zhao Huan and persuaded, "Your Highness, this South China Sea stock bond can be sold now, and it can't be bought." If you buy it, you won't be able to sell it in the future. He also bought thousands of stock bonds, and now his stomach is full of regret, just like a hot potato in his hand, I heard that the princess still wants to buy stock bonds, how can He Xuanzan not be surprised?

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Huan said softly, "The Nanhai Sea Road is being taken care of by the husband. As long as the husband is safe, the trade route will naturally be unblocked, if it is a colt...... her eyes darkened slightly, and then turned firm, "the colt will be fine." However, the price of the South China Sea stock bonds fell like this, but Yu Fujun's reputation was damaged, and letting the price fall like this only chilled everyone's hearts. Therefore, I am going to take out all the money and silk in the princess's treasury to buy Nanhai stock bonds, and let others know that I believe in my husband. My husband will be safe. ”

"This ......" He Xuanzan was speechless for a while, and the words of advice could not be spoken.

Since the Liao army invaded the south and Qingliu was in power, the imperial court flaunted its temperament and praised the women's "three obedience and four virtues". The highest glory in a woman's life is the archway watch. From the queen princess to the village women and village women, they are no exception. Listening to the eldest princess's explanation, the reason why she spent all her wealth to buy South China Sea stocks is also under the article of marrying her husband, although the move is a little intense, but compared with her husband's widowhood life, it is not a shocking move, and it is not even enough to meet the qualifications of the archway. Therefore, He Xuanzan was not easy to stop, but faintly had a respect for her.

"The South China Sea stock bonds were originally ten yuan per share, and today's price is only more than five yuan......

He Xuanzan is also a capable official, since he agreed that the chief prince took the initiative to use the money in the treasury, he naturally had to handle this matter properly. He thought to himself that if this large amount of money was brought to the Zhengxin Hall to buy stock bonds, maybe the price of stock bonds would be raised again, and he would have to eat stock bonds little by little, unconsciously, and even take advantage of the current panic to pull the price down. He is a serious person, and it is estimated that he may be able to buy more than 300,000 shares, but there is still room for him in front of the eldest princess.

"According to His Highness's orders, if more than 1.1 million yuan is bought in full, about 220,000 shares can be bought." ”

He Xuanzan bowed down to receive the order, and he was already planning in his mind.

"No, it's not." Zhao Huan said softly, "According to the price at which the stock coupons are printed," she frowned and hesitated, "Ten yuan per share, just buy it at this price." I don't want the people to suffer, lest I damage the reputation of the general. She looked at He Xuanzan and instructed without question, "You take my gold medal and go to the Zhengxin Hall." Although she has lived in the princess's mansion for a long time, she has paid attention to things related to Zhao Xingde, knowing that the shares of Zhengxintang need the endorsement of buyers and sellers, Zhao Huan, with the respect of a princess, cannot trade with these sellers in person, so she asked He Zhongenvoy to buy it with her seal. There are three seals of the eldest princess, two jade seals are used for letters, calligraphy and painting, and one bronze seal is used in money accounts, also known as gold seals.

He Xuanzan's face changed slightly, and he exclaimed: "Your Highness, is this a clear loss?" ”

"Let's do it." Zhao Huan's tone was firm, and he said softly, "Qian Silk is the people's fat and the people's ointment, and the general's reputation is more important." ”

The eldest princess is usually gentle and gentle, but once she decides on something, the eight horses can't pull it back.

He Xuanzan has been following Zhao Huan for two years, and he knows her well with this temperament, although he muttered in his heart, he could only bow his head and obey orders, shaking his head while going down to do things. After he left, Zhao Huan was still sitting in the back flower hall. This flower hall hangs on the water, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, leaning on the railing to illuminate the water, the pond water is a stream, clear as a mirror, there are pieces of petals floating on the water surface, sometimes there are sparkling waves, the swimming fish float and swallow the falling flowers in the water. Zhao Huan leaned on the railing, as if he hadn't seen it, and a layer of mist appeared in the autumn water: "Everyone in the world is looking forward to your safety, you must take care, you must be safe." ”

............

The hall of worship and belief was as noisy as if a pot was boiling, and people's hearts were as cold as winter.

"Five thousand two hundred dollars!"

"Five thousand dollars!"

"Four thousand eight hundred dollars!"

"Buy mine, buy mine!"

"Let me come first, I'll come first!"

Standing on the third floor of the Zhengxin Hall, the director Su Tongfu looked down at the crowded lobby.

Countless people waved the stocks in their hands and shook them vigorously, as if the funeral was full of paper money. Countless people shouted and shouted, making Su Tongfu's ears ring, and he couldn't hear the words of these people anymore. Su Tongfu also plans to raise a huge amount of money through Zhengxintang, to maximize the deterrence of the South China Sea sailors, and to gather the industries of the South China Sea reclamation, including dozens of ports, 100 workshops, and hundreds of granges, and finally form a huge net to pocket the entire South China Sea, and even the southwest sea closer to Dashi. But Guangzhou suddenly detained Zhao Xingde, and it was like a typhoon suddenly broke out in the Zhengxin Hall, destroying everything.

In order to restore people's confidence in the South China Sea stocks, Su Tongfu made a mistake in many ways and tried his best to stabilize the price of the stocks. This deficit was not recognized by the Guangzhou government, and Su Tongfu himself could not compensate for the bankruptcy. Today is the last fight, if you don't have the ability to turn the tide, Su Tongfu can only give up. He has already found a trustworthy bow and is going to go to the South China Sea to live in seclusion, taking poison and committing suicide, and the Sande Daoist will never do it.

"I've done my best," Su Tongfu's face was as white as paper: "Zhao Yuanzhi, I'm ashamed of you." ”
