"Hurry, hurry!"

Fang Kongzhi anxiously urged his coachman.

Ignoring the scolding on both sides, the four-wheeled carriage galloped on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the rain, and the sound of bells on the carriage accompanied by the trampling of horses' hooves on the asphalt road rushed forward......

It's really asphalt.

Yang Qing has been refining oil in Liaojiaozui for many years, of course, there will be no asphalt, although this thing is actually widely used, but the always extravagant Huguo Gong still uses asphalt and stones to pave this exquisite landscape avenue on the bank of the Qinhuai River. On one side is the painting boat of singing and feasting on the Qinhuai River, and on the other side is the asphalt road separated by green belts, this road that can accommodate six horse-drawn carriages side by side has become the best place for citizens in the city to relax.

Or rather, pickled girls.

Thanks to Her Majesty the Empress, the women's rights of the Ming Dynasty have risen, at least the door is disappearing. However, it is obvious that Master Fang has no intention of admiring the greenery of the weeping willows in the rain on both sides, as well as those beauties walking with umbrellas......

Well, he's in his sixties.

And his mind was full of pamphlets that he had turned over many times.

He's not a fool.

Not only did he once serve as a governor, second only to Yang Sichang's bandits, but he was also a master of easy learning, although he was not as famous as his son, but his son was taught by him, and Fang Yizhi was a family heirloom. He was indeed swayed by the frenzy of stock speculation before, and completely entered a state that could be said to ignore everything, so that even his son's persuasion did not alert him, but this pamphlet with a strong technical nature was like a basin of ice water poured on his head to make him wake up all of a sudden.

Everything wasn't normal before!

Whether it is the frenzy of stocks, the soaring growth of wealth, or even his own state, all of them are abnormal.

"Abnormality is a demon!"

He muttered to himself with some gaffe.

Yes, the abnormal is the demon.

All of these are abnormal, as if they are being manipulated by an invisible hand, like pouring oil on the fire, constantly making the fire of enthusiasm for stock speculation more and more intense, as if spreading some poison, making everyone fall into madness and lose their minds. Master Yi Xue should have been the most sensitive to this kind of thing, and Da Confucian should have maintained a normal heart of indifference to fame and fortune, but he still didn't resist the surging silver light after all. At this moment, Fang Daru is really a little embarrassed when he looks back on the previous year, he is also an old man who has read sages and sages for a long time and has been in officialdom for a long time, why can't he control himself like taking medicine?

Of course, he didn't need to blame himself.

Even more than two hundred years later, those who have experienced more than him and have been taught a lesson by foreign devils for decades have also fallen in the face of the frenzy of rubber stocks.

Ultimately......

This is really uncontrollable!

This thing is really like poison, what kind of reason and what kind of mind, all of which are lost in the frenzy, what about the smart people? No matter how smart you are, can you be smarter than Newton? Newton was played miserably by stocks, lamenting that he could predict the laws of the heavenly bodies, but he could not predict the stock market, which was still half a century after the stock market was more mature in Britain. At this time, the Ming gentry had never played this at all, they were completely a group of junior brothers, and suddenly they were faced with this set of things, and there was a black hand who was familiar with all the routines of later generations who were manipulating behind the scenes, and they were really played with in the palm of their hands.

They are indeed wise men.

If it is really a court fight, Yang Qing is not necessarily their opponent, at least they have the qualifications to fight with Yang Qing, don't underestimate these old foxes, they are all human spirits.

Available on the stock market......

It is said that a tiger can't fight a shark if it falls into the sea!

"Master, maybe you're too worried, there are a lot of enemies to protect the country, and it's not impossible to say that someone deliberately made trouble for him like this."

The butler on the other side said.

"Regardless of this, let's throw it out first!"

Fang Kongzhi said.

Regardless of whether what this pamphlet says is true or not, it is the most correct time to throw it out, anyway, he has already made a lot of money, and it will be a big profit to be able to stop it as soon as possible. All he has to do now is to rush to the exchange in Yujie as quickly as possible, and then sell the stock he holds, even if it goes up in the future, don't take the risk. I hope it's just a false alarm, after all, as the housekeeper said, with the number of enemies of Yang Qing, it is common for someone to make trouble for him, and there have been cases before in order to make the stock price fall, deliberately spreading rumors to profit from it......

In fact, stocks often go up and down.

All kinds of inside information, gossip and rumors often torment the nerves of stock speculators throughout the year.

Hopefully this time too.

Suddenly, the neighing of horses sounded outside, and then the carriage stopped suddenly, and then in the screeching sound of brakes, Fang Kongzhi screamed and rushed forward.

The butler hurriedly hugged him.

"How!"

The butler turned to the coachman outside and scolded angrily.

Fang Kongzhi also stabilized and then raised his head, and saw that in front of his carriage, a man who was almost knocked down hurriedly got up, didn't even bother to see if he was injured, and threw himself directly towards the river, obviously preparing to jump into the Qinhuai River. Several maidens who were walking were so frightened that they screamed and dodged, but almost at the same time, several patrolmen also rushed in front of the carriage, and one of them, like a hungry tiger, jumped up and threw the man to the ground.

The latter struggled to raise his head.

Fang Kongzhi immediately recognized that it was the one who threw the pamphlet to him.

His heart pounded.

He was already in his sixties, and subconsciously covered his chest again, and the housekeeper hurriedly beat him on the back, but Fang Kongzhi stared at the man, as if he saw an enemy.

"What are you doing, what law have I violated?"

The man struggled and screamed.

But then he was pinned to the grass, and a patrol officer unceremoniously took off the handcuffs and, with the help of his companions, twisted his arms back, and quickly handcuffed the guy......

"What law?"

The officer leading the team said with a breath.

He lifted his foot and turned the guy over, then pulled a couple of pamphlets out of his arms.

"Openly disseminating illegal printed materials, creating rumors to slander the country, deliberately stirring up panic among the people and disrupting social order, what law do you say you have violated? Don't forget that I still have the crime of disturbing the peace, look at how many books there are here, you are a gang crime, what are your intentions in spreading this thing? I see that you are all well fed and don't want to live a good life, right? Do you want to be comfortable in Jinyiwei's prison? Honestly go and confess to your comrades, maybe you can atone for your crimes, dare to resist to the end, and carefully hand you over to Jinyiwei. ”

Then he took a few pamphlets he found and patted the guy in the face.

"All of this is true, are we still guilty of telling the truth? What 100,000-mile railway plan is all money from the Protector of the Country, and it is all a lie! ”

The man shouted with a red face.

Immediately afterwards, the patrol officer next to him hit him on the back with a stick.

The man immediately let out a scream.

At this time, there were already many people gathered around, and even the three painting boats were docked by the river, and everyone pointed and pointed, some pointed at him, but there were also obvious complicated expressions......

"Spread out, don't listen to his nonsense, if you get this kind of demon book, hand it over immediately, otherwise it won't look good if you are searched, now it is my prosperous Ming Dynasty, Haiyan River is clear, Her Majesty the Empress is Shengming, and the protector of the country loves the people like a son. We must resolutely support Her Majesty the Empress and the Protector of the Country, we must not believe in rumors, do not spread rumors, and we must quickly report and expose such criminals who attempt to disrupt order and create panic, and we must not tolerate them! ”

The officer said to the surroundings.

"I didn't commit a crime, we have the freedom of speech, what I said is the truth, folks, wake up! The railway is a scam, that's the trick of the protector to make money, you have all been deceived, you have all been deceived by the protector, ah......"

The man screamed as the patrolman beat him.

Then several patrol officers dragged him towards a police car not far away.

"Let me go, folks, wake up, you've all been deceived......"

The man screamed all the way.

He was then dragged to the police car and roughly stuffed inside, and then the iron gate closed and locked, but he still clung to the iron window lattice and shouted at the crowd of onlookers outside......

"Folks, the protector is a liar, he is a liar......"

And then he just left.

However, most of those onlookers didn't react, after all, unless they were buying stocks, they wouldn't care about this kind of thing, and the bottom of Nandu was a fanatical believer in protecting the country, even if they had a small amount of stocks in their hands, they wouldn't care. Because the unit price of the shares of these railway companies is very high, it is true that ordinary people can barely afford one or two shares at the beginning, but as the stock price soars later, it is difficult for anyone except the really rich to afford it. In fact, this is also welcomed by those stock speculators, and those landlords and old fortunes don't want those poor ghosts to get a piece of the pie, so this kind of thing is really panicked, only those old villagers who came from all over the country with boxes of silver! On the other hand, on the three painting boats, several people hurriedly got off the boat in a panic, called for a rental carriage and ran away, and some who did not find a rental carriage simply ran by themselves......

Fang Kongzhi and the butler looked at each other.

"Hurry, go, go to the exchange!"

His screams followed.

It's all gone!

It's a real hammer!

Saying that, at this moment, Master Fang's face was green, if it weren't for this scene, he might still have illusions, but now this scene has completely shattered his illusions, you must know that Yang Qing can't help but remark. In fact, those who like him and don't like him admit that this person is first trustworthy and second tolerant of dissent, and will never turn his face because anyone criticizes him, let alone use force against those who dissident, as long as he does not break the law, it is no problem to accuse him face-to-face.

Now just because others point out that the railway plan is unreasonable, just arrest people, this is ......

It's just annoyance.

This is simply a lack of heart, afraid of completely exposing his sinister intentions!

The carriage immediately restarted and rushed forward along the road, and Fang Kongzhi in the carriage was anxious, but he didn't know that he was too late to go at this time......
