Wu Bingjian, who was dressed in a green shirt, played with the small purple clay pot in his hand, quietly listened to Wu Shaorong's narration of the scene that happened to the businessman, and when he stopped, he asked leisurely: "What do you think?" ”

Wu Shaorong glanced at the old man who seemed to be a little careless, and sighed slightly, before he spoke: "Although Yuan Qi has made a lot of money in recent years, and his development has been rapid, and he has huge development potential, but as the big shopkeeper, Yi Zhizhi is willful and willful, and frequently donates huge amounts of silver.

Yi Zhishu was also aware of this, so he took the opportunity to sell the valuation of Hongji Coal Mine, hoping to prevent the price of Yuanqi silver stock from plummeting ....... ”

Taking a sip of tea slowly, Wu Bingjian then asked, "Are you interested in Yuanqi silver stocks?" ”

What does old man mean? Let the Wu family support the bottom? Wu Shaorong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yuan Qi is sharp, the limelight is too strong, and the scale of Yuan Qi's group training is not small, and the combat power is strong, it has always been the heart disease ...... the imperial court, and the child has always felt that Yuan Qi is in danger, and there is a possibility of being copied by the imperial court at any time."

Moreover, the imperial court is a bottomless pit at all, even if Yuanqi is filled in as a whole, it is impossible to be satisfied, besides, the child thinks that opening a factory and building a railway, the investment is huge, and the effect is very slow. ”

Wu Bingjian put down the purple clay pot in his hand, leaned back on the back of the chair, patted his shoulder, and said, "Pinch." Wu Shaorong hurriedly walked behind him and kneaded it lightly and heavily.

After a while, Wu Bingjian sat up and said, "Okay." Then he pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down." After he sat down, he said earnestly: "For my father to know, you have always been arrogant, and you have always been disdainful of Yi Zhicontent, yes, Yi Zhixin can have today, our Wu family has helped a lot, but have you thought about it, the Wu family can have today, it is also because of the help of the Pan family, and now the children of the Pan family despise our Wu family?" ”

These words pointed directly at his heart, and it was not unserious, Wu Shaorong quickly stood up and said with some trepidation: "The child knows his mistake." ”

"Yuan Qi has always been seeking skin with the tiger, flipping heels on the tip of the knife, and it is not easy to get to where he is today, and it is all the credit of being content." Wu Bingjian rolled his eyes and said, "Don't say it's you, even if it's your father, you can't think about him, how can you despise such a character?" ”

These words came out of Wu Bingjian's mouth, Wu Shaorong couldn't believe it, he couldn't be more clear, the old man was extremely conceited in his heart, he praised people on weekdays, and he would not be arrogant, but today he is so content!

"You're right, Yuan Qi has been taking risks since the day he unified the money industry in Guangzhou, if you want to say that there is a risk of being confiscated by the imperial court, there is indeed a risk, but that was in the past, since the day Yuan Qi sent troops to Annan, the imperial court has not dared to copy Yuan Qi again!" Wu Bingjian said in a deep voice: "Without full certainty, Yi Zhishu dares to send troops to Annan without authorization?" Do you think Yuanqi sent troops to Annam for Hongji Coal Mine?

He is challenging the bottom line of the imperial court! Test the reaction of the imperial court! Hongji Coal Mine is just a step - a step for the imperial court to acquiesce decently, not surprisingly, Yuan Qi still has a backhand, and Yuan Qi sent troops to Annam, most likely to greatly expand the army, otherwise the recruitment of the navy would not make such a big noise. ”

Wu Shaorong's mind was a little foggy, and he lost his voice: "What does Yuan Qi want to do?" Is it impossible to rebel? ”

"It's impossible for Yuan Qi to rebel! Unless the imperial court confiscates Yuan Qi, forcing Yuan Qi to be cornered, this possibility is unlikely. Wu Bingjian said in a deep voice: "Yuanqi seems to be huge, but the foundation of Yuanqi is the local gentry and businessmen, as the so-called permanent property has perseverance, scholars, gentry, and businessmen will not be willing to rebel, once Yuanqi has the heart of rebellion, Yuanqi will collapse overnight."

The reason why Yi Zhizu wanted to strengthen the strength of Yuanqi's group training was not only to protect Yuanqi, but also to expand externally, and his original intention of establishing Yuanqi was to build Yuanqi into a company as large as the English East India Company. ”

The East India Company monopolized the trade between the East and the West for one or two hundred years, and Wu Shaorong, who had served as the general merchant for several years, naturally knew how huge it was, and while feeling easy to be content with ambition, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it would be good if he didn't rebel, the Wu family had a big business, and he had a constant relationship with Yuan Qi, so he didn't want to be coerced by Yuan Qi.

After calming down, he said tentatively: "Father is planning to actively snap up Yuanqi silver shares?" ”

"You should know the organizational structure and management system of the East India Company." Wu Bingjian said slowly: "Sooner or later, Yuanqi will have to adopt a standardized management system, and it will not be possible if he does not have enough silver shares on hand." However, don't eat too much, see the moment and buy a million. ”

Wu Shaorong said with some surprise: "Don't support the bottom? ”

Wu Bingjian slowly shook his head and said, "When you need support, Yi Zhishu will speak." ”

Lei Garden, Meditation Pavilion.

Lin Da'an, who was in charge of the collection of intelligence spies in Guangzhou, walked into the room calmly, glanced at Yi Zhicontent, bowed slightly and presented an excerpt, and said, "Sir, this is the intelligence collected from Annan. ”

Yi Zhizu took it and opened it, looked at it a few times, and his expression became serious, Annan is now the Nguyen Dynasty, and the king is the thirty-six-year-old Nguyen Xianzu Nguyen Phuc Thanh, who only ascended the throne the year before last, and his name is Shaozhi.

As early as the beginning of the 17th century, French missionaries and merchants had already entered Annam, and now Nguyen Phuc Anh, the founder of the Nguyen Dynasty in Annam, has received military assistance from France when he unified Annam.

However, during the reign of Nguyen Thanh Trung Nguyen Phuc Thanh (1820-1841), he began to reject France, and in 1825 he issued a ban on Christianity, and in 1829, the French consul Ou Ren returned to China, and the two countries suspended diplomatic relations in disguise.

So it's been more than ten years since France withdrew from Annam? This is a rare opportunity, Yi Zhizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Qi is also ready to cooperate with France in the military industry, he doesn't want to turn his face with France because of Annan's affairs.

However, we must take advantage of this opportunity, after all, France will make a comeback soon after, re-turning Annan into a French colony, and finally leading to a war between Qing and France, and it is necessary to take advantage of this rare vacuum period to include Annan in one fell swoop, otherwise, the variables will be great.

Looking down, Nguyen Thanh Thanh Nguyen Phuc Thanh was well-read, good at Chinese poetry, proficient in Confucianism, advocating the way of Confucius and Mencius, and devoted himself to promoting Confucianism during his reign.

In his capacity as the king of the subject country, he asked Emperor Daoguang to issue the Kangxi Dictionary to Annan so that the people of Annan could learn Chinese, and stipulated that Chinese characters should be used in school teaching, government documents, and imperial examinations, and that no use or mixing of words was allowed.

It also stipulates that when Annan's seven or eight-year-old children are enrolled in Mongolian school, the teacher must first teach the two classics of loyalty and filial piety, as well as Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Collection of Primary Schools", and read the four books first, and then the five classics. In addition, the edict printed a large number of books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics and Zhu Xi's "Collected Notes on Primary Schools", and at the same time allowed private printing and sales, so that these books were widely popular in Annam.

Annan is divided into five types of troops: infantry, sailors, elephant soldiers, cavalry, and artillery, but Annam emphasizes literature over military force, and officials in various localities are perfunctory in military training, military equipment is outdated and backward, soldiers are not well trained, generals have false registers, and the situation of empty salaries is serious, and the decline of the army is even worse than that of the Green Battalion of the Eight Banners.

Seeing this, Yi Zhixiang was secretly happy in his heart, this Ruan Shengzu Ruan Fuhui vigorously promoted Chinese characters, and the Qing Dynasty's annexation of Annam will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, this is not the information he cares about the most, what he needs is information that can allow the imperial court to send troops to conquer Annan.

glanced at Lin Da'an, and saw that he was still standing respectfully, and immediately ordered: "Sit, no formality." After saying that, he turned the page.

The first page is basically a collection of incriminating evidence that can be used to conquer Annan:

In 1826, Annam annexed a large territory of Vientiane (Laos), set up seven prefectures, in 1832, Annam changed the land and returned to the stream, completely destroyed the city, and in 1834 sent troops to conquer Chenla.

In 1839, Nguyen Phuc Thanh issued an edict to change the official name of the country given by the Qing Dynasty to "Vietnam" without authorization. And made the "Seal of the Son of Heaven of the Great South".

Seeing this, Yi Zhixiang finally showed a smile on his face, privately changed the country name awarded by the suzerain, and dared to use the "Seal of the Son of Heaven in Da Nan"! Even the king of a vassal state dares to call himself the Son of Heaven! This is arrogance as the emperor, wanting to be on an equal footing with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! With this one, it's enough!

After a slight hesitation, he said, "Maybe you want to get an edict, an edict, an edict issued by the Seal of the Son of Heaven in the Great South or something?" ”

"Yes!" Lin Da'an said without hesitation: "Today's king of Annam still uses the seal of the Son of Heaven of Da Nan, which is not difficult, and in addition, the official history book of Annan has also been renamed "Da Nan Shilu". ”

"You shall not live if you have done your own iniquity!" Yi Zhishu turned his head as he spoke, "Is there any movement in Hongji's soldiers and horses?" ”

"I'm about to report to the lord." Lin Da'an hurriedly stood up and said, "Xin'an Mansion was captured, and the king of Annam, Nguyen Phuc Thanh, was greatly shocked and dispatched 200,000 troops to Hongji in three ways, intending to recover Xin'an Mansion. ”

The army of 200,000 people, Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "I said how could Ruan Fuxuan be so calm, it turned out that he was mobilizing soldiers and horses, which saved trouble." ”

Hearing his tone, he didn't take Annan's 200,000 army in his eyes at all, Lin Da'an said with some concern: "Sir, that's 200,000 troops." ”

"Defeat is like a mountain!" Yi Zhishu said in a relaxed tone: "Send the order to Feng Renxuan, beat it hard, strive to complete the battle, and at least defeat Annan's confidence in resistance." ”

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Yuanqi expands shares and dividends, silver stocks are openly traded on the exchange, the price is one or two shares, the value of the Hongji coal mine occupied by Yuanqi Tuanlian is astonishingly valued as high as 2 billion, one after another news spread from Xiguan, more and more widely, and soon spread all over the city of Guangzhou, causing a great sensation.

Expansion of dividends, which has no precedent in the size of the ticket number silver number bank, the controversy is naturally not small, but the Yuanqi silver shares on the exchange are publicly traded, and provide a trading platform for the silver stocks, said that it is cash dividends, he does not divide the cash, said that it is not the cash silver dividends, he can exchange cash, the focus is on whether the Yuanqi silver shares can be sold on the exchange? How much silver can you sell for a share?

At the time of heated discussions in the city, "Xiguan Daily" publicly published Yuanqi's dividend plan - share expansion and dividends, all silver shares are expanded according to the time of Yuanqi's shares, the highest is twice as much, and the lowest is three percent. The exchange is allowed to trade openly, priced at one or two shares, free to buy and sell, there is no restriction on silver shares, and only 30% of the shares can be sold.

As soon as the newspaper came out, the whole city was a sensation, if it was in the peaceful years, this dividend was nothing, but in recent years it was not peaceful at all, since the beginning of the ban on smoking in Guangzhou in the nineteenth year of Daoguang, it was almost a day of surprise, and Yuanqi also frequently appeared in the run, these three or four years, there are thousands of bankrupt money and silver numbers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Yuanqi can insist on not closing down is already good, and it is surprising that it can expand shares so much.

However, how much silver can be sold for Yuanqi silver stocks, this is the key! For a while, many speculations were looking forward to the day when Yuanqi silver shares would be listed a month later.

After finalizing the matter of expanding shares and dividends, Yi Zhizhi also relaxed, and slept a rare lazy night, until the third pole of the day, Bai Xue pushed the door in and woke him up, seeing that he opened his eyes, Bai Xue smiled and said: "Go out for morning tea, can the lord go?" ”

Turning over and sitting up, Yi Zhizhi said, "Won't you be a large group of women going out for morning tea?" ”

"Now the atmosphere in Xiguan has changed." Bai Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "It is not uncommon for women to go out for morning tea and go to restaurants, many teahouses and restaurants have private rooms specially opened for female guests, speaking of which, this is still due to the influence of silk reeling women." ”

When she said this, Yi Zhishu understood that the female silk reeling workers had money in hand, and when they were leisure, they came to Xiguan or Guangzhou in groups to open their eyes and see the world, and they inevitably had to enter the teahouse restaurant.

Getting up and dressing, he casually asked, "Baba came to call me, could it be just for morning tea?" ”

"Didn't the lord tell the concubine to prepare for a girls' school?" Bai Xue said with a smile: "Today's morning tea is to make an appointment with a few female gentlemen, and let the lord help the town." As she spoke, she instructed the outside world, "Come in and wait for the lord to freshen up." ”

Yi Zhishu was a little puzzled and said: "Why don't you invite them to the house, but you want to go to the teahouse?" ”

"Meeting in a teahouse is also an assessment." Bai Xue said: "Although it is not uncommon for women to enter the teahouse now, there are not many women who have the courage to show their heads after all, and the gentleman of the girls' school is the ...... who wants to show their heads." ”

Going to the teahouse to take the exam is also considered an investigation? Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "There aren't many people to meet, right?" I'm going to Changle in the afternoon. ”

"Not much, just four." Bai Xue said: "I can't delay the lord's business." ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled and said: "You are also doing this business, and this lord should strongly support it." (To be continued.) )
