In the past, Guangzhou, and now Yingtianfu, are far from being comparable to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Just the three counties of Nanhai, Guangzhou, and Panyu, plus Huangpu District, have gathered nearly three million people. And the flow of silver money is in the hundreds of millions.

If it is based on density, in Yutou Street in Whampoa, whether it is the flow of people or the silver flow, it ranks first. Beginning on September 27 of the third year of the Holy Dao, the stock market of Fish Head Street suddenly increased this density by a large margin.

"Goldfish Daily" is a new newspaper in Yinghua, with a simple layout and crude printing, and the name is also quite slangy, taking the meaning of "Fish Head Street Produces Gold". Originally, it was regarded as an unpopular tabloid by those literate people in the press, and even businessmen's newspapers such as "Industrial and Commercial Express" did not bother to mention it. But in just a few months, it suddenly grew into a well-known newspaper in the country, setting several firsts in the newspaper industry.

First of all, it is the first reader, and the circulation of "Goldfish Daily" is as high as 200,000 or 300,000 copies, even the official newspaper "Yinghua Newsletter", which is available in every township in the country.

The second is the first to use lead movable type, and those newspapers in the past, because most of them were run by literati, always emphasized the beauty of a layout, and still used engraving printing. In order to reduce costs, Goldfish Newspaper spared no effort to study movable type, and finally worked with a number of book companies that printed books with copper and wood movable type to produce mature lead movable type.

Clause... It is a continuation of the second point, and the Goldfish newspaper set the precedent of a daily issue. Despite the fact that the stock price is only reported, the commentary and articles are published every three days. In fact, this is the same as those stock price tabloids active in Yutou Street, they rely on people to collect the hammer price of the stock market that day, and then compile it into quotations, print them overnight, and sell them in the early morning of the next day, so that buyers and sellers who enter the stock market can grasp the stock price as soon as possible.

On September 27, the Fish Head Street stock market was again turbulent, which was triggered by the Goldfish News.

The reason why the newspaper has won the trust of stock traders is that its stock evaluation is very influential, and it hits the general trend of Fujian cabinets. At the same time as the stock evaluation, it also links the economic politics of a country with the stock price, which is beyond the reach of other newspapers that are also doing stock public opinion. Several "stock critics" under it, such as Tie Yikou, Jin Nengtong, and Yu Guantian, are already god-like figures in the minds of shareholders.

In the early morning of the same day, a new issue of the "Goldfish Newspaper" published a joint commentary on the "Iron Goldfish" triumvirate, which first revealed an inside information: the reason why the Spaniards in Luzon surrendered was because Governor Jia promised that the galleon trade would continue as usual. What does it mean as usual, that is, the sea trade route from Haicheng to Pulin in Fujian will not change.

The news of the Anglo-Chinese army's attack on the castle of Santiago was widely known as early as the middle of the month, but not many outsiders knew about the negotiations between the Anglo-Chinese and Spain, after all, Chen Xinghua was only discussing the details with Lei Bandu at this time.

Therefore, people in the country are still waiting, the Yutou Street stock market is still in the wait-and-see situation, and even Jianxia Investment and Fujian Cabinet have fallen slightly, which stems from the Ministry of Commerce's statement is too vague, and it seems that there are signs of erasing the previous Jianxia Investment to contract the route.

But this news broke out, so that the hearts of shareholders who had been hanging for several months were finally steady, Luzon is in hand, and the galleon trade line can still be there, so the risk of speculating in Fujian cabinets and even building buildings and investment has been greatly eliminated.

On that day, Yutou Street was so crowded that the Huangpu District Administration had to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the demolition of Yutou Street to make room for the stock market.

Within a day, the stock price of Jianxia Investment soared to more than 700 taels, and most of them were out of the market. Selling less than 800 taels was bought as soon as it was listed, while the buyer put out a sign of 900 taels and one share, but no one cared.

On 28 September, the situation became even hotter, and it can be described as a "raging tide." For the second day in a row, Goldfish published a commentary, saying that Yijing agreed to the issuance of several additional shares, with Jianxia Investment ranking first.

Jianxia Investment brazenly broke through the 1,000-21 mark, and the additional 5,000 shares were directly swept away at the price of 1,000 taels. This stock has also swelled from a small market of 500,000 to a huge market of nearly 10 million taels. Nanyang Company, on the other hand, has fallen below 100 taels and is almost unattended.

It was not until October 1 that the crazy performance of Jianxia investment and Fujian cabinet spread to the whole of Guangdong, and after a few days of silence, the turmoil of Yutou Street finally detonated the Anglo-Chinese national politics and became the eye of the storm in a country. ..., "Crazy, all the businessmen and squires all over Guangdong are selling their land, selling their workshops, and the cashiers of Foshan Iron and Steel are all running to buy Fujian stocks with the money and money, and no longer enter the iron mines." I think this "Righteous Path" and "Righteous Qi" are right, stocks are really a policy to bring disaster to the country and the people at this time is only Guangdong, and in some time, I am afraid that businessmen from all over the country will gather in Yutou Street, and even those merchants who open mines and land in Jiā will also throw silver into the big pot of Yutou Street, and if this continues, all industries will be abolished."

In the government hall of Wuya Palace, Tang You once waved a newspaper and shouted with red ears on his face, he couldn't read it anymore.

"The official family is not clear-minded, and your Zhongshu Province has also gone mad? If you don't distinguish clearly from the officials, if you don't strictly manage the stock industry, the country is burning a false fire, there was a toss a few months ago, how many people jumped off Qingpu and Huangpu Wharf? After that, the war in Luzon was at an important point, and it was calmed down, and now that the war is over, this smoke has burned back to China, ten times as much as before."

"The case of the cashier of Foshan Iron and Steel is only a matter committed by merchants, and I have received many reports from the imperial historians, reporting that the magistrates of Yingtian, Shaozhou, Zhaoqing, and the prefectures of Yingtian, Shaozhou, Zhaoqing, and Azhou, all of them, were instigated by the squires to bring the county government silver to Yutou Street. The corruption in this is a hundred times that of the past, and Shi Tieya, who smoked the people's fat and the people's ointment, what did your law secretary eat? The businessman inflated the stock price, and you didn't have a charter to deal with, so I transferred the corruption of the officials to the legal department, and you didn't accept it? ”

Compared with Tang Youzeng, Yang Chongdou was even more angry and rushed to the heavenly spirit, and he directly pointed the finger at Shi Yizhi, the legal envoy.

Shi Yizhi smiled bitterly: "I don't have a charter, and the current charter is just a business matter." Spreading rumors, driving up stock prices, and indulging in the business market are also involved in the "Imperial British Commercial Law", but what is the crime, what is the crime, how to determine the value of the case, whether it belongs to the official lawsuit or the people's lawsuit, these are all unsettled. ”

Liu Xingchun is in charge of domestic security, although the turbulence of Yutou Street is only làn on Yutou Street on the surface, but the darkness surging behind him makes him feel very bad, he said worriedly: "Now it's just sucking silver, if something goes wrong, and then the price drops like before, I don't know how many people will break their homes, and then I don't know what the situation will be." ”

Peng Xianzhong sighed: "This is also the concern of our Ministry of Commerce, what we are afraid of is that if it is pressed hard from the court level, the disaster will be scattered all over the national government." Now there are millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver in Yutou Street a day, and the total plate has reached forty or fifty million taels. ”

Li Zhushou thought deeply: "The official family set up the Yutou Street stock market to gather money and develop Nanyang. Now it has become a place for businessmen to take advantage of money, and the stocks of Nanyang Company and other industries have fallen again and again, which has lost the original intention of the officials. ”

Qu Chengshuo was transferred to the Ministry of Education, and he was also qualified to participate in the court meeting held on the first day of every decade, and he unconsciously clapped his tǐ and said: "It's all Fujian people who are playing ghosts"

The hall was silent, and everyone looked at him with blaming eyes, which surprised him, and then he woke up, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Fujianese? Yan Guifei is from Fujian, and Xiao Sheng, the chief of the navy, is from Fujian......

Gu Xiyi, the envoy of the Ji Division, said: "Behind the scenes, it is a group of Fujian businessmen who control the Luzon Sea Trade, and they have joined hands with Shantou businessmen. However, the stock market of Yutou Street gave them a good place to make silver with silver, and they were not greedy enough and began to want to control Yutou Street. ”

Gu Xiyi and Peng Xianzhong are directly in charge of the Yutou Street stock market and have some understanding of this matter.

Qu Chengshuo continued: "I heard that in addition to those Fujian businessmen, any Qingtian company also sits in it......

There was a cough in the hall, this Qu Chengshuo was really just a literati who didn't know business, and if he stepped on it in the business circle, he should know that the big proprietor of Qingtian Company was the emperor, and several ministers present were its proprietors.

is such an outsider, who has pierced the other root of this matter, making it difficult for you to discuss it anymore. Do you want to accuse the emperor of following the Fujian businessmen to collect money?

Tang Youzeng closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said coldly: "The official family ...... What's the plan? ”

To whom he is saying this, it is clear to those who have a heart. This situation was caused by the emperor, and the emperor was also exhausted, how could he have expected this scene today, so, what did he have in mind? ..., Peng Xianzhong said decisively: "In sì, the official family has no sī heart"

Yang Chongdou said impatiently: "But the people under the official family are difficult to say"

Seeing that the cabinet was going to split openly, Fan Jin, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Why do you want to ask the official family what they are thinking?" You are the ruler of a country, do you have to ask the official family what the overall situation is arranging in everything? Aren't you even as good as a chess piece? In front of you, you must be in your duties, with my established national policy to do a good job, solve the hidden dangers, take precautions"

Shi Yi gritted his teeth and said, "If it is...... If it is related to Qingtian Company......"

This is straightforward, what if they plan a response and stab the emperor to the side and embarrass the emperor?

Fan Jin did not hesitate at all: "Don't forget that if the covenant of the people of the official family treats the official family as the emperor who governs the country with power, it is a big mistake."

Li Zhushou hurriedly set the tone: "Fan Zhizheng is right, we are important ministers, we must do our duty, and we can't treat our duties with the heart of the monarch and father in the past." ”

This is indeed the case, but there are still great doubts in everyone's hearts, did the emperor foresee this scene today? Is it also related to the fact that the emperor has been out and about? How will the emperor finally make the final decision?

Chengtianfu Baicheng Academy, at this time has been renamed "Baicheng Academy", in the library building deep in the college, Chen Wance put away the newspaper, and respectfully asked Duan Hongshi, who was pondering, "Teacher, students can't see through." ”

Duan Hongshi opened his eyes and sighed: "You, with Xue Xue, you are all addicted to Guiguzi's power and scheming skills, and you can only be a national weapon, and it is difficult to control the national political avenue." ”

On the bookcase in front of him, there is a book, with five characters on the cover, and the pen is straight and straight, which is the "Theory of Heavenly Evolution of Capital", which was written by Li Xi himself eight years ago.

Duan Hongshi seemed to be reminiscing about some time in the past, and his words were ethereal: "The monster he said has finally matured...... Today's event is nothing more than a beast xìng attack, opening its huge mouth, and lù out of its hideous teeth. ”

"This is an inevitable step, he said it eight years ago, but since he has the confidence to release this monster, he will naturally prepare the halter, don't ......"

Duan Hongshi frowned slightly: "This halter has been knitting and weaving for eight years, and now he may want to try it, whether he can tie it firmly." ”

Chen Wance faintly felt: "If you can't, will there be a bloody storm to sacrifice this monster and wait for him to rise again?" No wonder there are Fujianese people in this game. ”

Duan Hongshi smiled, although Chen Wance learned from Li Guangdi, and even more in the calculation of academic qualifications, but under him, he can be regarded as truly entering the avenue of learning, and began to learn to see things with a true eye, the only flaw is that like Xue Xue, he always has to take the path of power and scheming.

Duan Hongshi said: "What you see is the downward trend, and what the official family wants is the upward trend." In the old man's view, Guangdong is like a father, Fujian is like a mother, and the official family wants to build a furnace for the resurgence of China, and Fujian must not be missing, and he will not deliberately hurt the Fujian businessmen, danshi ......"

Chen Wance already knew that Danshi's back was jumping, and if he wanted to get out of the palm of the official family in this game, there would be no good end.

"Let's go to Whampoa"

Then Duan Hongshi said neatly, and let Chen Luck secretly say that he was wrong? The teacher is still not at ease, and he wants to go to the town as he did earlier?

"At a critical juncture, the old man has to go and see his own silver, even if the little God of Wealth is in charge, the old man is not at ease."

As soon as the old man's words came out, Chen Wance almost fell down.
