In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City, Zhu Youxiao was discussing with a group of ministers about raising military expenses, and the cabinet finally made a decision, if it was still going to war, it would require a large amount of military expenditure to buy weapons, recruit soldiers, build fortresses, and raise grain and grass.

The conditions for fighting on the western front are not superior to those on the northern front, Liu Ziguang fought in Beijing, there were sea ships directly from Shanghai to Tianjin, transporting supplies, from Jiangnan to Shandong, and then to North China, all the way were plains, there were railways and canals, and the high-mobility and strong firepower corps suitable for Liu Ziguang had an advantage, so in just three months, the Manchu regime was driven into the Taihang Mountains, and the military expenditure was only two million taels, on the other hand, the Western Route Army did not have such good conditions, Shaanxi did not have waterways, only the Weizhong Plain, a small piece of flat land, and other places were towering mountains, and it was inconvenient to transport materials and mobilize troops, so it was understandable to spend more money。

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the 30 million Western Regions Fund is about to be put on the market, the Ming Dynasty is strong, the people's patriotism is high, and it will be sold out in a month, not only the military budget of the Western Army is enough, but even the treasury will be filled a lot." Hubu Shangshu Huang Xiaotian said confidently.

"Huang Aiqing has worked hard, with your words, I will be relieved, with sufficient military salary, why worry about the immortality of Western Xia, I want to see how Western Xia can fight with my Heavenly Empire."

Seeing that the emperor said this, the ministers also echoed it, saying that the remote barbarian states of Western Xia were lucky to win, and this time the Celestial Dynasty solved the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they could free up their hands to deal with Western Xia, and it was just a matter of an instant to recover Shaanxi and smash Huanglong directly.

Zhu Youxiao also asked Zhang Fulin, the head of the household department and the secretary of the Yamen of the Securities Regulatory Commission, who was present at the meeting, about the recent situation of stamp duty and fund sales, Zhang Fulin naturally reported good news but not worries, saying that the income from stamp duty is increasing day by day, and the shareholders are rejoicing, the transaction is booming, and they have to queue up to buy and sell, and he is not bad, but those who are congested in the stock exchange are all selling, but he does not mention this point.

After listening to Zhang Fulin's report, Zhu Youxiao's confidence was even more sufficient, thinking that in order to deal with the internal and external troubles of the imperial court, in order to deal with the Tartars of Liaodong, he collected millions of taels of silver in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and confiscated them for two years, and all of them were confiscated, and they also caused riots, and now the situation is completely reversed, 30 million taels can be collected in just one month, with such strong economic support, even if Yuan Chonghuan loses a few more battles, he is not afraid.

The imperial meeting of the Qianqing Palace ended in an atmosphere full of confidence, and the officials returned to the government and began to prepare weapons, armor, horses, grain, grass, and people's vehicles, and they only waited for the silver from the household department to begin to transport supplies to the west as soon as the silver arrived, but I am afraid that it would be difficult to wait for this silver......

The imperial court is now putting all its hopes on the second wave of the Western Regions Fund, but the first wave of funds has now fallen to the eighteenth layer of hell, how can the second wave be sold, but these problems are not considered by the bureaucrats, Zhang Fulin is a talent, this little thing is afraid that it will not be difficult for him.

Zhang Fulin was taken aback when he returned to the Yamen of the Securities Regulatory Commission, it turned out that the Yamen had been surrounded by three layers of emotional people, and Zhang Fulin secretly said that it was not good, and he just wanted to let the sedan chair man turn around and run away, and suddenly those people saw his car and drove, so they all knelt down, and the black mountain called for Lord Zhang to help.

Zhang Fulin's courage was enough all of a sudden, and he ordered the sedan chair to be stopped, and the green sedan chair stopped, and Lord Zhang got off the sedan chair majestically, holding the loose jade belt around his waist, and walked out with steady official steps, first frowning and shouting: "Gather a crowd to surround the official office, is it possible, do you want to rebel?" ”

Crying for one person: "Master Zhang, Mingjian, the little ones don't want to rebel, they are really forced to live, the fund bought by two or three taels of silver has fallen to two or three dollars, and there is no return, if the court doesn't make a move, we will really die." ”

As soon as he said this, the people behind him also made noise, some businessmen said that all the capital for their business was invested, some farmers said that all the money to buy seeds was bought into the fund, and some women said that all the money for the family's meals was put in, and as he spoke, it became chaotic again, and people shouted dogs, children cried, and there was a noise outside the yamen of the securities supervision department.

Zhang Fulin pressed his hands around and shouted in his mouth: "Quiet, quiet." But the crowd was so loud that no one could hear his words, and it wasn't until his subordinates struck the gong more than a dozen times that people quieted down, and thousands of pairs of eyes stared at Zhang Fulin to see what he had to say.

Zhang Fulin cleared his throat and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be afraid, the Western Regions Victory Report Excellent Fund has only temporarily fallen, this is a normal financial fluctuation, you must have confidence in the imperial court, have confidence in the official, do not hide it from you, this official has just come out of the palace, and now the imperial court is ready to use troops against the Western Xia again, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers, only after a painful defeat can we usher in a brilliant victory, the official firmly believes that Inspector Yuan and the soldiers of the Western Army will pass on the good news again, and seal the wolf Juxu!" Don't you know, the grasslands of the Western Regions are vast, cattle and sheep are herds everywhere, and the melons and fruits are everywhere, waiting for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Western Regions, not to mention that your fund is unbundled, it is possible to rise to five taels or eight taels! ”

As soon as Zhang Fulin said incendiary words, the ignorant people seemed to understand something, and some people had the courage to ask: "Then we just need to die and not sell, right?" ”

Zhang Fulin said: "If you don't sell it, not only don't sell it, but also buy it, you might as well reveal an inside message to all the fathers and villagers present, the court wants to fund again, this time it's still a tael of face value, but the market price is only five yuan, it's just a bun falling from the sky, you listen to the official, it's right, now it's the absolute bottom, you go back to raise silver taels now, after this village, there is no such shop!" Those who want to make money are hurrying on. ”

Suddenly, a few men stood up among the people, raised their arms and shouted: "Listen to Lord Zhang, that's right, let's go home, smash the pot, sell iron, buy funds, and seek wealth and insurance, and now it's too late to copy the bottom!" ”

The people were stunned for a moment by Zhang Fulin's rhetoric and these hidden nurses, and the crowd outside the yamen of the securities supervision department was scattered, Zhang Fulin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, sat back in the sedan chair and said: "Go back to the ya." ”

That night, in a secluded but luxurious mansion in the capital, three richly dressed middle-aged people were sitting around drinking, and the singer next to the silk bamboo was pleasant, playing the pipa, singing tactfully, and the wine was drunk. ”

As soon as the words fell, an old man with a withered face walked in with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands around: "Lord Huang, Lord Wu, and Lord Zhang are good." ”

The three of them got up and saluted back: "Mr. came just in time, let's add wine and return to the lamp, reopen the banquet and discuss the world's major affairs." ”

The four of them sat down, the maid added dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers, and added charcoal to the mutton stove, and the daughter red re-scalded it, then respectfully went out backwards, and carefully closed the door of the warm pavilion, creating a good conversation environment for the adults.

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Xiaotian, who was known as Lord Huang, opened his mouth: "Last time, thanks to Mr. for his advice and guidance, the maze brother finally straightened this brother, and he will definitely remember it, Mr. Please drink this cup, and then the brother still has something to ask." ”

The shriveled old man was not polite, and he drank a glass of wine generously and said: "Lord Huang, but please speak, little old man, this little skill should be taught by himself." ”

Huang Xiaotian said: "Now that the Western Regions Jie Bao Performance Fund has fallen to two dollars, the people are complaining, and even other stocks have fallen sharply, so if the second wave of 30 million taels of funds does not go out at all, the stock trading will become less and less, which will directly affect the income of stamp duty, so that the Haikou boasted by the brothers in front of the emperor will be all in vain, and the dismissal of officials is small, but the financial route of the imperial court has been cut off, and the brothers have regrets after all." Therefore, I would like to ask the gentleman for some guidance on how to deal with this situation. ”

Zhang Fulin also said: "What Lord Huang said, today, the people have surrounded the yamen of the lower officials, if it weren't for the lower officials to be in a hurry to coax them back, maybe they would have exploded on the spot, but this is not a long-term solution, the old fund does not rise, the new fund cannot be sold, the new fund does not go out, our financial route will be cut off, the emperor is angry, and the old Qian Pavilion can't keep us, how can this be good." ”

The old man was silent, just poured himself three cups, and sandwiched a few chopsticks, and the fat lamb meat was eaten, chewed and swallowed carefully, and then talked eloquently: "Engaging in finance is the same as fighting a war, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, and his face did not change, and the old man summed up a few experiences: when others are greedy, fearful, greedy when others are afraid, now is a good time, we have the silver, the insider, and even have the power to make the rules of the game, how can we be helpless." ”

Zhang Fulin said: "Please also make it clear to Mr. ”

The old man said: "At present, the stock market crash is our huge opportunity, how to make money in the stock market is nothing more than buying low and selling high, at the beginning of the year, we have taken advantage of the well-informed to throw away the Western Regions Jie Bao Fund, and now the silver is abundant, just take this opportunity to absorb those ginseng-like good stocks with the price of radishes." ”

Zhang Fulin said: "Do you mean that you will start to save the market now?" ”

The old man stroked a few yellow beards on his chin and said: "No, it's not falling hard enough now, and you have to smash it down again before you can make a move, and it's not just us in the financial market, and Rishengchang can't be underestimated, if you relax a little, you will be taken advantage of by them, about the next arrangement, the old man has already written a few adults, please see." Saying that, the old man took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and after Xiao Tian and Zhang Fulin got together and looked at it, they couldn't help but stretch out their thumbs and praise: "Sir, he is really a master of loneliness in the world." ”

The old man bowed slightly: "The implementation of this plan depends on the news of Lord Wu. ”

The middle-aged man, who had been silent, said: "Alas, this time Inspector Yuan was really defeated, and the Western Army was very busy, and the child didn't have a letter from home for a while. ”
