Chapter 319: Show Your Strength
At the moment when the stock of Qianbao Bank was growing wildly, Li Guanqi had already returned to the capital, after all, he was the emperor of the Great Qian Empire, although it was more important to make money, but he could not do his job for a long time.
Li Guanqi returned to Beijing with Qin Minzhong and a long convoy of silver transport. Old Master Qin can now be described as full of red light. At first, he was skeptical about Li Guanqi's practice of issuing shares, but now that these shares have been exchanged for 130 million taels of silver, how can he not be happy? You must know that Qin Minzhong has been a household secretary for more than ten years, and he has always been a poor jingle, when has he ever been so rich?
In fact, the family background of Yangzhou merchants alone did not have so much money, and after the stock was issued, merchants from all states and provinces in Jiangnan Province gathered in Yangzhou, which allowed Qin Minzhong to have nearly three years of silver taels for taxes in the Great Qian Dynasty.
As the so-called wealth is abundant, the current Li Guanqi can finally breathe a sigh of relief, since he crossed over, he has been living a careful life, many ideas and ambitions can not be put into practice, now the treasury is full, and he can finally let go.
Li Guanqi first asked Qianbao Bank to continue to issue treasure banknotes at a ratio of twice the reserve amount, and then successively opened various businesses such as deposits and loans.
Then Li Guanqi announced the establishment of a naval division in Songjiang Province, a move that was not opposed by the ministers, and everyone had habitually chosen to believe in Li Guanqi's new ideas.
However, the construction of the sailor division is not as simple as Li Guanqi imagined, although the Great Qian Dynasty did not lack skilled craftsmen who could build ships, but they were all small boats, and Li Guanqi wanted a giant ship that could gallop the sea, and there were still many technical difficulties to overcome; There is also a big problem, that is, the Great Qian Dynasty does not even have a general who is good at water warfare, and even Li Guanqi himself does not know anything about water warfare in this era.
Although there are many difficulties. But Li Guanqi did not slow down the pace of building a naval division, because a strong navy would play a crucial role in realizing his ambitions.
The Armor Research Institute was also rejuvenated, and Li Guanqi gave them several new key projects: steelmaking, flintlock pistols, cannons, and rocket cars. Among them, the rocket car was conceived by Li Guanqi himself, mainly to imitate the rocket artillery of modern society, and this weapon will play a great role in the frontal battlefield.
Other edicts, such as building roads across the country, dredging rivers, reducing or reducing agricultural taxes, and increasing commercial taxes, were issued one after another. Li Guanqi's thoughts were one after the other, with almost no pause. Several scholars in the Central Mansion gradually became a little overwhelmed, especially Qin Minzhong, who was getting older, and his energy gradually couldn't keep up. Therefore, the old man took the initiative to write a letter and asked Emperor Qianwei to make up for the six scholars.
Only then did Li Guanqi react that he had neglected the construction of the talent team. So he asked the ministers to recommend candidates for university scholars.
Looking at the list of recommended personnel handed over by the Central Mansion, Li Guanqi frowned. Because he found that none of the people on the list were central candidates. In fact, the main Beijing official, Li Guanqi, still knows something. There really is no suitable candidate.
Since you can't choose from the Beijing officials, let's pick from below. So Li Guanqi issued an edict to let the chief officials of all provinces, states, and prefectures in the world go to Beijing to report on their work, and he wanted to select a few talents from these people who could enter the center, and by the way, he also learned about the situation of these parents.
While Li Guanqi was busy reforming political affairs, Gao Xianxian was not idle, of course, he did not stay in Yangzhou all the time, but went to Hangzhou. There is a confidante of his, a girl who looks seven points similar to Yang Yuqing. is called Shi Yaoqian, and it is said that she is still a descendant of Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty. It's just that it has been passed down to the middle of the family.
Gao Xianxian walked into the house, Shi Yaoqian stepped forward to help him take off his cloak and hang it up, and said with an excited smile: "I have something good for you to see." ”
As he spoke, he dragged Gao Xianxian into the bedroom, dragged out a delicate patent leather wooden box from under the bed, opened it, and took out a thin stack of beautifully printed pieces of paper. Stretching out in front of Gao Xianxian as if inviting merit and rewarding: "Look, this is a baby!" ”
Gao Xianxian fixed his eyes and saw that this thing was too familiar, it was actually the stock of Qianbao Bank!
"Where did this thing come from?" Gao Xianxian felt that the sweat had come down.
"I spent money to buy it, but now this stock has no market. Ordinary people can't buy it at all, I bought it thanks to my brother in Yangzhou, and I spent 38,000 taels to buy 1,000 shares. Do you know, everyone says that the stock of Qianbao Bank is paper gold, and the price is still low, and sooner or later it will rise to 121 shares. ”
"Okay, okay, let's sell the stock tomorrow, you know!" Gao Xianxian said irritably.
Shi Yaoqian's eyes turned red: "What am I doing, I'm not here to share some for you." Shi Yaoqian didn't know Gao Xianxian's true identity, and always thought that Gao Xianxian was just a second-rate businessman.
Gao Xianxian complained bitterly in his heart, and secretly said that this matter is hidden from his parents, don't blame me for not being able to tell you the truth, he gently wiped away the tears on Shi Yaoqian's face, and said softly: "I am not short of money." Besides, if you want to buy Qianbao Bank stocks, just tell me, I have a lot of Qianbao Bank stocks here, and you don't need to spend money to buy them. ”
"How many?" Shi Yaoqian immediately stopped crying, her eyes lit up.
"Two ...... 20,000 ......" Gao Xianxian said hesitantly, he didn't dare to say that he still had more than 2 million shares, that would frighten Shi Yaoqian. More than four million shares of shares in his hand have been quietly released, and the stocks in Shi Yaoqian's hands have been released by himself.
"Great! We're developed! Shi Yaoqian was excited.
Gao Xianxian said: "I'll handle the business matters, you give me the stock, and I'll help you sell it." ”
Shi Yaoqian seemed to realize something: "Do you know anything, my father and my brother also bought tens of thousands of shares, do you want to sell them?" ”
"Sell them all." Gao Xianxian cut the railway.
In the next few days, the stock of Qianbao Bank continued to rise wildly, and it had risen to an outrageous forty-five taels per share......
Just as Shi Yaoqian was thinking about whether to buy the stock back again, someone took the initiative to sell it, and the price was unusually fair - forty taels per share.
In an instant, Shi Yaoqian's heart moved, because when she went to inquire the day before, it was still forty-five taels, but she still had an extra heart and didn't buy it immediately.
In the afternoon, the man came to the door again, and the price dropped to thirty-five taels per share.
Shi Yaoqian was sure that something was wrong, and immediately sent a servant out to inquire, only to learn that Qianbao Bank shares were now being sold everywhere, and the price was falling all the way, but no one was buying it at all...... (To be continued.) )
