At a party at the Accord next door, it was a few businessmen who had sold the South China Sea coupons, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they watched the price of the South China Sea coupons fly into the sky like a kite in the past few days. Originally, because Her Royal Highness the princess came forward to buy the South China Sea bonds at the original price, she took the opportunity to get rid of the success of the joy and a little gratitude, all of which turned into regret and resentment. After staggering, the alcohol swelled up, and he had a seizure while talking.

"Lao He, you can't guess about this, maybe people don't know." Someone kindly persuaded him.

"Don't know? That's weird! That Lao He slapped the table angrily, "The sky is blue and the sun is white, are the people of the world stupid?" ”

"It's a pity! Annoying! Hateful! Someone else sighed and said, "Well, what can be done?" Drink this cup to the fullest, and talk to relieve your worries. ”

"Not necessarily!" That Lao He lowered his voice and said, "Zhao Yuan is straightforward, the princess is bullying, this couple thinks that others are afraid of them, but it is not so easy to get out of the anger of the public." We heard that many people who have suffered losses are ready to petition the state school to thoroughly investigate this matter, and if the Yangzhou government wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb, they will go to Ezhou to sue the emperor and go to the criminal department of Dali Temple! He snorted angrily and scolded, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." With so much money, is it so easy to pit? ”

"Really?" Someone was surprised, "The Marquis of Wuchang has both literature and martial arts, and they dare to provoke it?" ”

"Of course it's true! The wrath of the crowd is hard to do! ”

"The court upholds justice, don't his wife even pay attention to the court?!"

"Yes, the world is the world of the people of the world, and the court does not uphold justice, what do we want this court to do?"

A noisy echo sounded in the Accord next door, and Yan Yuexi and Tang Qiantang exchanged glances, and their eyes were a little surprised.

The businessmen jointly sued Emperor Song's only sibling sister, the eldest princess of Wu, the concubine, and Zhao Xingde, the Marquis of Wuchang?

These businessmen are dizzy, are they brainbroken? Yan Yuexi shook her head and sighed. "There are crazy people everywhere." Tang Qiantang sighed, feeling less regretful and more glad that the officials and gentry of the Song State were one, especially in the southeast, and the gentry were all doing business for profit. If Tang Qiantang really took advantage of the sharp drop in the South China Sea stocks and bonds to eat most of the South China Sea bonds, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the pressure of these annoyed and angry gentry, and he would be forced to spit out most of the benefits. It's okay now, even if the sky falls, there is the eldest princess of Wu on top.

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

Yangzhou, Wu Chu Garden, the garden is deep and elegant.

This is the mansion prepared by Yangzhou Mansion for the eldest princess of Wu, the princess lives in Guazhoudu most of the time, this princess mansion of Yangzhou, after being converted into a museum, has become one of the famous scenic spots. Between the exquisite pavilions and pavilions, the flowers and trees are shaded, the small bridges and flowing water, the cobblestone paths are winding and secluded, and from time to time there are tourists and ladies passing by, pointing at the colorful goldfish in the pond. On the shore, willow branches sway in the wind, and willow branches gently blow the water, creating a circle of ripples.

Next to the willow bank, a small pavilion stands near the water.

There were several guards scattered around the pavilion, and a small stove rested on the stone table in the pavilion, and on the stove was a red clay teapot.

In the pavilion sat a woman, a middle-aged scribe.

The two sat across the stone table, but at a glance it was clear that they were not husband and wife. The middle-aged scribe spoke with an air of respect, even a little respectful. While listening, the woman put a piece of charcoal under the stove, the kettle spout spewed bursts of steam, the woman held the sleeve of her coat, and was about to take the pot to order tea, the middle-aged scribe rushed to the front, held the pot to light the soup and tea, and then divided it into the cup. The middle-aged scribe is a master of the tea ceremony, only to see the kettle tilted, a flying stream straight down, the tea powder of the dragon and phoenix group tea dances with the torrent, the water foam rotates along the edge of the rabbit lamp, gathers but does not disperse, the tea ceremony is called biting the cup, after a while, the water foam disperses, and the pure white tea exudes a curling fragrance.

"Is Your Highness's decision really the same?" Su Tongfu looked at Zhao Huan and admired this woman from the bottom of his heart.

"What's so changeable." Zhao Huan looked at the willow silk fluttering on the water, and said softly, "If General Zhao is here, he will do the same." ”

"The specific trivial matters will be handed over to the next to be done." Su Tongfu sighed, "Your Highness has good intentions, and those villains have nothing to say except for being ashamed." He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Just when Yangzhou was full of wind and rain, Zhao Huanluan drove to Wu Chuyuan and asked Su Tongfu to come over to discuss the aftermath of the South China Sea bonds. After the victory in Guangzhou, the Nanhai bonds have more than doubled compared with the purchase price of Zhao Huan, and the price is rising, everyone is reluctant to sell, reluctant to sell the stock bonds in their hands now, and those who are willing to participate can only watch it, or pay a higher price to buy.

Zhao Huan consulted with Su Tongfu, she thought about it for a long time, and felt that there were two ways to deal with the aftermath of this matter, one was to return the South China Sea bonds to the seller at the original price, and the other was to sell the South China Sea bonds at the market price, and then use the money to establish Yizhuang and Shantang. Therefore, Su Tongfu felt that the first way to deal with the aftermath was absolutely impossible. If Zhao Huan has a heart, he can try the second way to do good and accumulate virtue.

"Your Highness's Nanhai Bonds have a huge amount," Su Tongfu took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "If you sell them all at once, I'm afraid it will impact the market, and it will be another twist and turn." Therefore, it can only be sold slowly. Before that, in order to calm the material discussion, His Royal Highness can first build a righteous village, and put the surplus shares into the righteous village to operate, and these shares will be like the righteous field, and the income obtained from it every once in a while will be used to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Because the amount of this wealth is huge, if it is managed well, it is a matter of immeasurable merit. ”

This huge amount of wealth was taken out to expel poverty, disease, and ignorance for the world, and Su Tongfu was optimistic.

However, he was still a little ashamed in his heart. When the price of the Nanhai Bond plummeted, the eldest princess of Wu devoted all her money to the Nanhai Bond Trust City, which was a grace in the snow to the Zhengxin Hall. He has never been ashamed of his words in his life, and since the eldest princess has taken a huge risk, it is natural for her to enjoy a huge amount of income afterwards. Those gossips outside, as long as the Imperial Court Newspaper Division does its best to suppress the intentions, it may not be able to turn over any big waves. Zhao Huan may not know the ability of the Imperial Court Newspaper Department to suppress gossip, but Su Tongfu knows it. However, the people criticized the Marquis of Wuchang and the princess of Wu, but the newspaper department of the imperial court has not taken any action.

Su Tongfu didn't know what Deng Su thought about it? Perhaps, Deng Su may not want Zhao Xingde to grasp the power of the South China Sea Expedition, and hopes to use the Qing Dynasty to suppress Zhao Xingde's prestige, force the eldest princess of Wu to give up the South China Sea Tour, and at the same time calm the people, and then let the Zhengxin Hall raise food and salary for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible. Deng Su and Su Tongfu have old friends, and they have the grace of recommending life-saving. Speculating on Deng Su's intentions, a layer of haze hung over his heart, but his face did not show the slightest expression, and he planned in detail for Zhao Huan to establish a good hall.

"It is not easy to do good deeds and accumulate virtues. Since Your Highness has the heart to do good, he should use his able shopkeepers to trade in stocks and securities, or buy and sell property, so that the money of the good church will continue to grow. In addition, some highly respected people were invited to supervise the charity hall to do some good deeds such as distributing food rations and warm clothes to poor people, buying dowries for poor girls, taking care of the funerals of the poor, subsidizing poor scholars to go to Beijing to take the exam, and subsidizing Mr. Yixue to teach poor children to read and write. In order to prevent outsiders from slandering rumors, the big accounts of Shantang should also be separated from the accounts of the princess's mansion, and a separate account book should not only be made public and widely publicized, but also should be supervised and audited by people of high moral and respected morals, so that everyone can be convinced. ”

Zhao Huan let out an "um", thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you have to act so publicly?" ”

"It's not publicity, it's the first to win people," Su Tongfu nodded affirmatively, "Only by being open and sincere can we preach justice, and be honest and honest." ”

Zhao Huan frowned and was silent, she was very reluctant to be so public, but the people's hearts were unpredictable, if she didn't take the lead in taking the lead, there might be some chaos in the future. Under the trade-off, what Su Tongfu said is the feasible way. She pondered for a while, and finally nodded, and said, "According to what Mr. Su said, it should be arranged, and Mr. Su is invited to bother more." Saying that, Yingying got up and was blessed.

Su Tongfu hurriedly stood up, not daring to accept her salute. The two discussed some details of the opening of the good hall, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Huan asked the imperial brother Zhao Qi to give the name of the good hall and write a plaque, Su Tongfu went back to draw up a list, respectively invited respected people to supervise the accounts and operation of the good hall, in addition, the news of the opening of the good hall by the eldest princess of Wu Guo was widely publicized.

After the discussion was completed, Su Tongfu took his leave and left.

He was preoccupied and was about to board the carriage, when an uninvited guest came up next to him.

"Mr. Suda, the contemptible person is Fang Xiaoliang of Fang Ji Buzhuang."

Su Tongfu looked up and saw that this Fang Xiaoliang had a relationship with him, so he nodded and asked the guards to let him approach.

Fang Xiaoliang saw that Su Tongfu still recognized himself, his face was happy, and he secretly said that today is indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac, it is advisable to travel, and he has to meet nobles. He was originally taking his family to play in Wu Chuyuan, and suddenly saw Mr. Su, so he hurried to meet him, but it was not an ordinary Lala friendship, after a simple greeting between the two, Fang Xiaoliang was a little embarrassed and smiled: "Mr. Su is not to blame Fang for talking business, now the South China Sea coupons are hot, Fang Mou does not dare to compete with the owners, however, I heard that Zhengxintang will soon issue 'Hebei coupons', when the time comes, Mr. Su Da can give a notice, Fang Mou is grateful." As he spoke, he thanked him first.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Su Tongfu smiled slightly, "This Hebei coupon is the guarantee of the household department, and the shopkeeper Fang really has a good vision." ”

He knew in his heart that the rumors of the imperial court's preparations for the Northern Expedition had gradually been revealed.

The gentry and exiles in the north were in high spirits and rejoicing, while the gentry and merchants in the south were also rejoicing. Military rations, armor, gunpowder, and weapons were transported north along the Grand Canal one by one. In various places the school and government joined hands to arrive. Under the system, the Northern Expedition did not increase the taxes of the prefectures and counties, but used the land and industry in the north as collateral, and issued a coupon called "Hebei Bill" at Zhengxintang, with an annual interest rate of 5%, and the principal and interest were repaid in a period of 15 years. "Hebei Coupons" do not have the windfall profits of the South China Sea Coupons, but behind it is actually the Ministry of Household Guarantees, so many wealthy businessmen are also very interested in Hebei Coupons.
