"Hurry up and go faster"

On the sea, a soft-sail clipper similar to a sea carp ship broke through and rushed forward, and Xu Shan stood at the bow of the ship, with the two heavens of ice and fire in his heart.

He is Li Fu's family member, and he was Li Fu's staff member earlier. After establishing a business in Fujian, he buried himself in the galleon trade line, and was worried about how they should deal with themselves after Yinghua entered Fujian. didn't want Li Fu to find him and plot how to deal with Yinghua.

Originally, he didn't have any ideas, but the Yutou Street stock market made him see the opportunity, on the one hand, with the intention of making a lot of money, and on the other hand, he also thought about finally introducing this group of Fujian businessmen into a big pit, so that Guangdong and Fujian businessmen could fight for their heads and blood, and began to jump out, leading a group of Fujian businessmen to set up a bureau of building and building investment.

Qingtian Company sat in the village, so that Xu Shan saw a bigger opportunity, Emperor Yinghua and Guangdong businessmen were one, but on this Yutou Street, there was a chance to lead him to break up.

Although Li Fu doesn't understand business, let alone stocks, but Xu Shan understands, he has thought about it carefully, in his opinion, if the Yutou Street stock market is collapsed, the hearts of the businessmen of Yinghua will collapse, and even if they can't be defeated, they can make profits from it.

Shi Shibiu, the "King of Fujian", turned a blind eye to this matter, and only thought that Li Fu himself was making trouble, and he didn't have much to say to Xu Shan. But Xu Shan knows that Shi Shibiao also has the heart of riding the wall. In order to facilitate this matter, he deliberately secretly contacted the Chinese businessmen in Manila and asked them not to get too close to the Spaniards. Many Chinese businessmen in Manila have close contacts with his Shi family.

Seeing that everything was going well, the hands and feet of Qingtian Company and the actions of Emperor Yinghua greatly surprised Xu Shan, and he couldn't help but sigh that he knew too much about the knowledge of stocks and even silver coins.

But he felt that his biggest goal was to achieve Yijing, at least let Qingtian Company and the emperor jump out. Encouraging Fujian businessmen to use Min Bao as a place of public opinion, and at the same time submitting reports to other newspapers, can stir up the Anglo-Chinese country. And he himself, even if he was later caught by other stocks, but after cutting rò and clearing his position, he also made six or seven times the profit in the silver and money in the past six months, which should be a bumper harvest on both sides.

"Hateful, when, there is an inner jiān......"

On the fiery side of his heart is cold ice, Liang Boyu of the Liang family, a salt merchant in Quanzhou, actually saw through his dealings with Li Fu, followed the Shen family, and denounced him together.

Thanks to someone who informed him early, Xu Shan got on the clipper he bought, departed from Huangpu, and traveled all the way to Xiamen. He ran away, and he didn't know how it would affect his first task, which made him very worried.

"Don't worry, the soft sail sea carp are all in the army, and the soft sails we hold are no boat that can catch up."

The crew comforted Xu Shan, so that Xu Shan was very glad that he had foresight, and bought this Fujian shipyard imitation sea carp boat in advance, plus soft sails, the hard sail sea carp ship used by Yinghua Maritime Patrol could not catch up at all.

The ship rowed a white tail on the sea, and along the tail, a hundred miles to the west, a huge fleet was cutting through the sea, steadily chasing after it. Among the battleships, there was a huge ship as tall as a mountain with a double gun deck, accompanied by two slightly smaller Sea Shark ships, with a dozen or so sea carp ships and about 20 sea carp ships, chasing to the east.

"That guy really thinks he ran away, but he doesn't xiangdao himself is just a bait......"

On the helm of the original "Rose of Verona", and now on the helm of the battleship "100,000 Mountains", Xiao Sheng sighed at someone's ignorance.

"Commander-in-chief, the Tartars are just some broken ships in Fujian, the largest has not yet reached the Haiao ship, and the artillery is even more tattered, let's kill it with a knife."

Meng Songhai shouted on the side, saying so on his lips, but he was thinking in his stomach, it is enough to let himself bring a Sea Shark ship as the flagship, and he will be so enthusiastic with a Xiamen, and the chief will really not give himself the opportunity to be alone.

"This battle happens to be a trial voyage of 100,000 mountains, and besides, let's not go to Naxia, we're going to catch fugitives."

Xiao Sheng said matter-of-factly, and the nearby helmsman officers all laughed and arrested the fugitive...... That guy should really feel honored, the navy has dozens of warships, plus nearly 10,000 troops and horses, nominally for him.

"Then you don't need the chief to go out in person......"

Meng Songhai finally couldn't help but say his heart, Hu Hanshan and Bai Yanding are still in Luzon, whether it is nominally to arrest fugitives, in fact, to occupy Xia, Xiao Sheng, as the chief of the navy, there is no need to go out in person. ..., "You don't understand, my old official is in Xia, I have to go and see him in person, this is the number of courtesies." ”

Xiao Sheng squinted his eyes, and the ups and downs in his heart were difficult for outsiders to understand.

On December 3, the Yuexiu Times published a long commentary by Lei Zhenzi entitled "On Finance", and the word "finance" officially stepped onto the stage of history.

The commentary is based on the rise and fall of the stock of Jianxia Investment, and analyzes the actions of the black hands behind the Tatar Dynasty. Reveal how the Fujian maritime merchants, who had monopolized the Luzon trade earlier, colluded with certain officials and some newspapers to stir up the stock market. It is important to mention several public opinions that have caused a sharp rise and fall in the stock price of Jianxia Investment, all of which are created by this gang of black hands. And the black hands took advantage of the situation to wash the dishes, and the huge profits they obtained, and the traces of silver money came and went. It was also found out by the Anglo-Chinese Bank from various ticket banks.

The article also mentions how Qingtian Company is supporting the bottom and trying to eliminate the actions brewed by these black hands. As a result, the gang of black hands turned to Qingtian Company, intending to use the background of Qingtian Company to break the hearts of the people of Yinghua and the country. The evidence is evident from the solo voice of Min Bao and the anonymous submissions received by other newspapers. In addition, a number of rumors spread among the people were also transmitted from the direction of Shan, and the intention was naturally to stir up the confrontation between a country's industry and commerce and the emperor.

If you only look at these contents, you still think that "Yuexiu Times" is helping the emperor to speak out, and wants to put the culprit of the whole situation on the Fujian businessman and the Tatar Qingzuo who secretly gave birth to làn.

But then the comments changed, and all the viewers breathed a sigh of relief. Lei Zhenzi bluntly said that the stock market is so moving, and the instigation of Tatar Qing's meticulous work is one thing, but the imperial court set up a stock market, but the relevant laws did not keep up in time, and it also attracted the local government to enter the market with public funds, which ruined the government of a country, and the imperial court was guilty. In addition, the big proprietor of Qingtian Company is the emperor, and he also squeezed into the stock market, so that Tatar Qing's fine work has an opportunity to take advantage of, and he also has responsibility.

Lei Zhenzi then moved on to the stock market, including state bonds. He believes that financial matters are beneficial for a thousand years. Stocks and bonds pooled the financial resources of the private sector to promote colonization and various industries, and with these financial resources, colonial companies and industrial companies were able to spread out their industries and seek great benefits for the country and the people. But the harm is that it provokes the deep sī in people's hearts, makes many speculators dizzy, and harms others and themselves.

Therefore, the supervision of the stock and even the bond market must be prudent and strict, and at the same time, the market entrants must not have any close relationship with the national government.

What makes the reader's heart sway, Lei Zhenzi bluntly said that it is harmful for officials to enter the stock market, and the emperor's entry into the stock market is even more harmful, and he called on the emperor to withdraw from the stock market, and at the same time establish effective laws to supervise the operation of the stock market.

"Yuexiu Times" appealed, and those imperial historians in the lower province no longer ignored the scope of their duties, and wrote in groups, and other Confucian and virtuous party officials in the court also spoke out, with the slogan of "not competing with the people", demanding that the emperor delist and dissolve the Qingtian company.

The Federation of Industry and Commerce seemed to have received a signal, and began to make noise, and issued a call in the "Industrial and Commercial Express", everyone saw the benefits of the stock market, but how to make the stock market not affected by external influences and play its due role, the emperor and the imperial court should be more thoughtful.

"If you dig deeper into this matter, how do you control the emperor, everyone, do you have a way?"

Qingpu, in the conference hall of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Han Yijie's words made the faces of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry who asked him to come forward to communicate with the emperor turn pale.

How to control the emperor?

Many people want to say, Lao Han, are you crazy?

From ancient times to the present, there has not been an emperor under the status of the Holy Dao Emperor today, he is not the monarch's father, and he does not have the supreme majesty of "the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die". He could no longer directly manage the taxation of the local people, and that was the business of the local officials and the county and township bureaus. He can't just copy people and take away their property without saying a word. This world is not his own, the royal family and the treasury have been clearly divided.

But from ancient times to the present, except for a few emperors such as Qin Shi Huang, there has never been such a powerful emperor as the Holy Emperor today. He commanded the army, and fought and decided with one word. He was directly in charge of the merchants, and the annual income of the treasury was 20 or 30 million taels of silver, almost all of which came from the merchants, and he also borrowed tens of millions of taels of silver.

And from ancient times to the present, the previous founding emperors have not been as popular as Emperor Shengdao. Although he now only leads the five provinces of China, he has expanded Funan, Luzon, and Boni as new leaders, and has become a veritable leader of the Nanyang Alliance in the countries south of the Funan Alliance, and can drive 100,000 servants to shed blood and sacrifice their lives for Yinghua. Even the Confucian Party and the Virtuous Party are all throwing themselves to the ground in this matter, shouting for the hero. ..., the reason why Yinghua was able to get so much money in industrial and commercial affairs was not because Emperor Shengdao won the heart of a country's industry and commerce? This Anglo-Chinese country was originally newly spelled out by Emperor Shengdao from the side of industry and commerce? Under Yinghua, industry and commerce have turned from the end of the past to become the master, and even scholars have begun to cling to industry and commerce, and no longer regard themselves as the root of a country.

The Holy Dao Emperor is even more praised by the people, don't look at the Yutou Street market, but the lowest price is above 100 taels, which is obviously not accessible to ordinary people. The poorer the people in the past, the more they missed the Holy Dao Emperor. Tax reduction is one side, a country's industry and commerce are prosperous, and there are people everywhere who earn money with their hands, and it is no longer a dream to earn enough money, but the bottom line at least.

Life is gradually getting better, and the oppression of the government in the past is much less, first of all, the law is stricter, and although there are things about the collusion and persecution of the people by the officials and gentry, they are no longer as heavy as before. In some places, in order to earn the position of the public bureau, the squire took care of the neighborhood more than usual, and made profits for the villagers through the public bureau, which also became the common sense of the directors of the public bureau to maintain their own status.

Emperor Shengdao is also a Ming monarch in the minds of officials, and the first one is that he is full of money, and he has begun to have the style of the Song Dynasty. The second is that the Holy Dao Emperor has no likes or dislikes, or he doesn't show it, the evaluations are scattered everywhere, and the officials don't have to tremble like the previous dynasty, figure out their intentions, and they can show their ambitions as officials. Officialdom has existed since ancient times, and many bad rules are still inevitable, and absolute justice for the people cannot be done, but compared with the Ming Dynasty, they have lived too much, and the Manchu officialdom cannot be compared. The only thing that makes officials slander is that the road to the imperial examination is getting wider and wider, and people from any background can become officials, and the superiority of those Confucian scholars and officials in the past is getting lower and lower.

The reputation of the Holy Dao Emperor in the hearts of the scholars also began to shift from the sworn enemy of Confucianism earlier to the master of learning. There is no way, the Confucian scholars have been suppressed to the point that they can only use sīde as their own place, and the Taoist Party has come out of the cage, and has gradually transformed a scholar from a country into a disciple of God who is above the sky and down-to-earth. Even the die-hard Confucian Party had to praise the Holy Daoist Emperor for his great efforts to promote literature, open up libraries, and promote the education of the common people.

Not to mention the army, that is, the intimate rò of the Holy Dao Emperor, if the words "control the emperor" are spread to the army, the army is afraid that everyone will look sideways.

Such an emperor, control him? When the government and the opposition were idle, some people jokingly said that if China is restored today, it will be difficult to summarize the merits of all the praise words in the "Chinese Dictionary".

Prestige is one side, power is one side, just look at the emperor on the one hand to rectify the Spaniards, on the other hand, thousands of miles away, to rectify the gang of trouble-making Fujian businessmen, you know the emperor's wrist, in politics and business, that is unparalleled.

Take control of the emperor? When this question is raised, many businessmen are wondering, will the Chinese people first ask, you propose so, I am afraid that you have bad intentions and control the emperor, so you businessmen can eat the benefits of the countrymen?

Shen Fuyang said: "Simple, clear law, not only to control the emperor, but also to control all of us"

For example, the earliest Qingpu Chamber of Commerce and the later Chamber of Commerce and Industry generally set terms and clear rules, which is also the principle of doing things that the emperor has repeatedly emphasized.

Han Yijie asked again: "Ming Fa?" Who makes the law? Who cares? ”

This problem is deep, if it is a general matter, it is naturally the emperor who makes the law, they are counselors, and the Ministry of Commerce, the Department of Justice and the Department of Planning supervise according to law.

But now it is up to the emperor himself, to put it bluntly, the emperor is not allowed to re-enter the stock market, who will decide the specific terms? And who regulates it?

Han Yijie said in a deep voice: "This is a whole set of things, involving the foundation of national politics, especially how to define the power of the emperor and the power of our industry and commerce. ”

The hall was silent, and for a long time, someone suddenly whispered: "This is a problem of a country, and our industry and commerce have finally encountered this bottom line." ”

Everyone's faces were calm, and they all felt the same way.
