General Staff Headquarters.

"Stocks are risky, and you need to be cautious in investing."

Yang Qing picked up the teacup like Huang Shiren, took a sip of tea, and said slowly.

"Ren Zhigong, these ten characters are engraved on both sides of the gate of the exchange in the form of couplets with Her Majesty's imperial pen, and there is also a horizontal batch that is at your own risk. In this way, Her Majesty and I remind you to keep a cool head, and not to be too greedy for money, for fear of such things. But you don't listen, you all just watch the stock speculation to make a lot of money, but you don't want to think about making a lot of money, then you have to bear a big risk, rich and dangerous can only be sought, stock speculation is high-risk and high-return.

So now that this kind of thing has happened, what's the use of you coming to me?

I still have a whole bunch of stocks!

I don't know how to make up for the deficit and explain it to Her Majesty the Empress, and even the dowry money of Princess Zhaoren has made me lose a lot! ”

He continued.

"Lord Protector, what about this pamphlet?"

Fang Kongzhi handed him the booklet and said cautiously.

He didn't bother to care about Yang Qing's crying, of course he could already guess with his mind at this time, there must be Yang Qing's black hand here, but now is not the time to worry about this problem, the most important thing now is how to minimize his losses. And the first thing is to stabilize the stock market, because at present, the news is only spread in Nandu, and has not yet spread to further places, if the stock market cannot be stabilized, the next news will spread, and more people who hold stocks will come. Their panic selling will make the stock market continue to fall, and it is not impossible to fall until the issue price, and then the loss will be even greater, and then it will fall to 20 yuan, and then a large number of stock speculators will really have to jump the Yangtze River.

Many of these stock speculators were entrusted by the gentry from all over the world to bring their money to make a fortune.

Even with a borrowed one.

Especially those who borrowed from those banks, including those banks themselves, the latter was even more troublesome, they were all the money of the gentry in the provinces, although the Imperial Bank was also issued in the provincial capitals, but the news in those places was definitely not as good as here, and the gentry gave money to an agent.

Including him, too.

His money is not only his own, but also the Fang family and friends, especially Tongcheng, many gentry in Anqing have entrusted him, he has to be responsible for these people, although there is no contract constraint, but if he loses all these people, don't expect to have a good life when he goes back to the Fang family. And if he can sell it at the current price, at least he won't lose too much, and he can actually make a little more or less, but if it really falls to the issue price, then he will have to go bankrupt to compensate those clans and friends.

So the stock market must be stabilized.

Only by stabilizing the stock market and taking over can he quickly sell the stocks in his hands.

But he is not capable of stabilizing the stock market.

At this time, Yang Qing has the ability, so the first thing is to let Yang Qing come forward and be the guarantor for the stock market, if he publicly refutes the contents of this booklet and reconfirms the previously promised railway plan, then the stock market will almost be able to stabilize. Although after this fright, the stock speculator must be much more sensible, and it is difficult to push it to the same high price as before, but at least someone will take over, then the stock in his hand can be taken off, and it doesn't matter if the price is slightly lower.

The key is that there is a pick-up.

"First of all, I disdain the slander that says that I and the court use this to make money, and I also reserve the right to defend my reputation with legal weapons!"

Yang Qingyi said rhetorically.

Fang Kongzhi didn't understand it at first, but then he understood, he quickly nodded, and at the same time affirmed that he absolutely didn't believe this, this was completely the slander of some bad people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic to the protector and the court, and anyone with a sense of justice would not sit idly by and watch this kind of bad guy run rampant.

"Second, I have to admit that I was indeed a little too optimistic about the previous railway plan!"

Yang Qing continued.

Fang Kongzhi subconsciously covered his chest again.

He looked at Yang Qing with pitiful eyes.

Yang Qing smiled cruelly.

"Although this thing is for the purpose of slandering me and the imperial court, I also have to admit that they still put a lot of effort into it, and it is not entirely a rumor made out of nothing, and I was indeed too optimistic about the construction of the railway before. Recently, the survey teams dispatched by various railway companies have successively brought back the results of the line survey, and judging from the results of their surveys, it is indeed quite difficult to repair the railway. For example, the Kushan Tunnel mentioned above, there is indeed a tunnel with a length of more than three miles to be dug in the belly of the Kushan Mountain. The train's ability to climb hills is limited, and it is not so convenient to turn, it is impossible to climb to the top of the mountain, nor can it be repaired like a road, but only by digging tunnels.

This makes it much more difficult.

And the cost also increases, after all, it takes at least five years to dig a tunnel and blow it up with gunpowder, and then use manpower to dig through the rock.

And it's not just the mountains.

Almost all the mountainous areas that need to be crossed must be tunneled, so in addition to the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway, every railway that remains of us needs to dig a large number of tunnels, especially the previously planned Sichuan-Han Railway, Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the like, which completely rely on tunnels to pass through the mountains, and it is likely to have to dig hundreds of tunnels.

There are also bridges.

I was naïve about it.

I actually wanted to use pontoon bridges to connect the Huai River and the Yellow River with railroad tracks, but when the surveyors came back, they overturned my assumption that real railway bridges had to be built to cross these rivers, which made the project much more difficult. After all, the construction of underwater piers is still very difficult for us, but I have already thought of a solution, which is to use a steam engine to make a special air blower, a water pump, and make some large iron barrels to transport it and sink it underwater. Evacuate the water first, and then let the workers dig the foundation underneath and pour the piers with reinforced concrete, as long as the piers can be built in the water, in short, you can rest assured about this, give me some time and I will solve it.

Extension of time is inevitable.

I will personally apologize to all the investors in the newspaper, after all, this is my mistake, I have to admit that I did wrong, although it is mainly because of the first time to build a railway, I have little experience, this kind of thing happened, but wrong is wrong! ”

The Lord Protector said solemnly.

"Protector, there's no need to apologize for such a trivial matter, right? It is not a big fault that people are not saints and sages. ”

Fang Kongzhi pleaded pitifully.

Needless to say, as soon as this bastard apologized, the already collapsed stock could not be cleaned up, he himself admitted it, he himself admitted that all those railway plans could not be realized, and he dug a three-mile-long tunnel? The Shimen Tunnel is less than 20 steps, and 2,000 people have been digging for three whole years, and he estimates that the three-mile-long tunnel will take 30 years, not to mention that a railway has to dig countless tunnels, and maybe there will be longer than the Kunshan Tunnel. As for the underwater repair of bridge piers, he himself said that he couldn't do it, as for the machine he said was just an idea, he could use a big plan like the railway to deceive people, so who knows if his kind of machine is also deceiving?

Now the railway plan must be fake.

This pamphlet is right, this is Yang Qing and the imperial court to circle money, there is no real railway plan at all, Yang Qing just threw out a gimmick, and then through touting, let others believe that it is true, and stupidly took out the silver for nothing. He has spent too much money over the years, and the treasury can no longer be supplied, and the imperial bank borrows too much, which is also his own loss, so he and the court are happy to play with the money of the gentry in this circle, not only do they not have to worry about the finances, but they can also take the opportunity to make a profit.

It's just outrageous.

It's madness!

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is how you get out.

I have already calculated myself stupid, I think I am too naïve, naïve and simple, knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach with blood, the important thing is that I can't lose it anymore, I have to throw out these stocks.

The loss of self-esteem is unlucky!

However......

"How's that going to work? Celebrating his life is only faithful, isn't this a deception to the public? ”

Yang Qing said categorically.

"Protector, you really don't need it, right?"

Fang Kongzhi continued to plead.

"No, this is about Yang's principles of life, it is Yang's fault, Yang will not avoid it, and tomorrow morning, the daily newspaper will publish Yang's apology statement!"

Yang Qing said.

Fang Kongzhi was about to cry.

"Protector, can the old man resell his shares to Protector?"

He pleaded.

"Well, this is still not necessary, and Yang has no money to buy it, not to mention that buying it at this time is Yang taking advantage of the danger of others, and Renzhigong does not have to be anxious, this railway is not not not repaired, but it will be later than the original plan. You can rest assured that the railway will definitely be there, and your fortune is still ahead, so don't worry so much about a small stock price twist. Please also tell the investors outside, I, Yang Qing, hereby assure them that there will be a railway, and all they need is to wait with peace of mind. ”

Yang Qing said.

"I'm waiting for you ghost!"

Fang Daru let out a silent roar in his heart.

If you build it up in a hundred years, I'll wait for you for a hundred years, what's the matter? You're just using a noose to trap us, so it's impossible for us to get out!

"Yang Qing, you liar!"

His heart cried out again.

But he couldn't help it, he could only say goodbye in despair, and walked out of the staff headquarters under the eyes of Yang Qingxiao Mimi, and then the shareholders waiting outside flocked to him......

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll just say, this thing is pure grandstanding nonsense, the Lord Protector has assured me that what is said above is false, the Liangjing Railway has first completed the line survey, and the construction will start soon, you can rest assured, the period of the railway direct access to the northern capital is just around the corner!"

He said with a smile on his face.

Good thing he had a night......
