150,000 taels of silver, just exchange it for him for such a blank paper?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had never done such extravagant things in his life.

At this moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't wait to immediately tear up all the stocks in his hand, and then cursed.

But...... He was reluctant.

Even if it was a pile of straw paper for going to the latrine, it cost 150,000 taels of silver to buy it.

But Zhang Jingyi looked innocent, as if he had done something good: "Your Majesty, you ...... Said not to be angry. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gasped and bowed his head, what about my sword.

Fortunately, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still has a strong ability to control his emotions.

And Zhang Jingyi has made a great contribution, at this time...... Suddenly taking a knife to cut someone's house, it seems a little embarrassing.

It was only at this time that Zhang Jingyi dared to tell the Emperor of the Apocalypse the truth.

Although he knew that the stock of the Dutch East India Company in history would take off, creating the largest increase in human history.

But to be honest, you still need to take a certain amount of risk to do this.

After all, it is like a companion, and God knows what the Emperor of the Apocalypse will do.

But he has always been adamant that the risk is worth taking.

He had to let the Emperor of the Apocalypse know about the outside world.

Stuck on land, Daming will never have a future.

What's more, the wealth in the ocean is innumerable, if the great voyage is missed, future generations can only nest in Shenzhou.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse finally sighed, showing a little helplessness, and then said, "You, you ......"

Zhang Jing looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with blazing eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this thing can make money." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, but said, "How much money can you earn from just a few things?" I just want you to give me back the money. ”

"Minister...... Now I'm very poor, and I bought this ......" Zhang Jingyi looked pitiful.

At this time, the shares of the East India Company were mainly traded in the Netherlands and the East.

The Netherlands is mainly bought by native Dutch people, while in the East ...... Because there were a large number of employees of the Dutch East India Company, a large number of colonies of the East India Company, and merchants from various countries who cooperated with the East India Company, many merchants held a large number of shares of the East India Company in the vast ocean.

After all, in previous years, the Dutch East India Company had a large increase, and the profit from dividends was not small, which had already aroused the interest of many people.

It's just that this year the Dutch East India Company has encountered many difficulties, and everyone thinks that the Dutch East India Company may be unsustainable, because many people in the market are selling, and in Macao, there are also relevant trading points, where merchants from various countries trade.

Zhang Jing sent people to buy a large number of stocks, spending a lot of money, and purchased nearly 300,000 taels of silver.

This translates to an estimate of 2.8 million guilders.

At this time, the guilder was a kind of Dutch silver coin, about one guilder was equal to about 9.5 grams of silver.

In the Ming Dynasty, one tael was equal to about thirty-seven grams, that is, one tael of silver, which was roughly equal to three guilders.

The 300,000 taels of silver were probably exchanged for shares of the East India Company, which were worth nearly one million guilders.

And the situation at that time...... The main shares of the entire Dutch East India Company are held by the Dutch government and 14 major shareholders, and of course, they have also issued about 6 million dong in circulation.

This million dong of shares is almost the limit of the acquisition of shares of the East India Company of the East India Company of the East Holland.

If it weren't for the risk that the stock price had plummeted, it might even become a piece of waste paper, but I was afraid that those businessmen and employees who held the stock would never be willing to sell.

After hearing that some people bought shares at low prices in Macau on a large scale, some people even rushed from Malacca to trade in order to quickly sell these stocks and avoid losses.

The Japanese merchants also held a lot of stocks, because they traded with the Dutch East India Company in large quantities, so many merchants had early contact with the Dutch East India Company, and when the East India Company was in good business, the Japanese merchants once became the main force in the acquisition.

However, with the deterioration of the Japanese people and the East India Company, and even the feudal clans of the Wajima Island, they gradually began to issue a ban on trading with the East India Company, and many Japanese merchants were desperately trying to sell these stocks.

Under this selling frenzy, Zhang Jingyi is equivalent to a receiver, but even so, the shares purchased by 300,000 taels of silver actually have 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver left unspent.

This can't be helped, after all, the value of stocks has plummeted now, and the plate in the East is so big, which has almost bought all the stocks in the hands of retail investors.

However, he was actually very content to acquire such a huge amount of shares.

Next...... It's time to witness the miracle.

Of course, the people of the Zhang family are still in Xiangshan, and continue to buy for the Zhang family, after all...... There were also merchants who were hesitant to sell, or there were Spanish and Dutch merchants in Luzon and Sumatra who did not necessarily get the news that someone was willing to buy shares in the East India Company.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was very happy today, but at this time, all the good moods were gone.

So let people take a full box of stocks and drive back to the palace in a depressed mood.

He couldn't figure out why he was so stupid.

In the eyes of the Celestial Empire at this time, whether it is the Dutch or the Portuguese, they are all Fanyi, the so-called China is rich in products, all-encompassing, and the wealth of the world is gathered here.

Everywhere else, it's all a bunch of poor ghosts.

I spent so much money to buy paper from a bunch of poor ghosts.

If it weren't for his trust in Zhang Jingyi, the Emperor of the Apocalypse even suspected that Zhang Jingyi had colluded with the Dutch to cheat him out of his money.

So he was in the Qinzheng Palace, stunned for a long time, and Wei Zhongxian, who still didn't know the inside story, said cautiously: "Your Majesty...... Are you still thinking about Li Yongfang? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head and said with a faint expression: "What I am worried about is not this, the matter of Liaodong is handed over to the Thousand Households in Xincheng, and I am very relieved." It's just that...... I'm worried...... Alas, Zhang Qing is such a clever person on weekdays, how can he ......"

As he spoke, he shook his head again, and then, as if remembering something, he said: "Send someone to me to inquire, you remember, inquire, what is the company, what is the Dutch East India Company, and ...... What is a stock. ”

Wei Zhongxian's face was stunned, he didn't understand how His Majesty could suddenly think of inquiring about such a strange thing.

The more the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought about it, the more he held back, so he said with a cold face: "I remember everything, I must inquire clearly...... You can go to ...... Xiangshan County inquired there, do you know? ”

"Know...... Got it. ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse ordered so carefully, where did Wei Zhongxian dare to slack off, he firmly wrote down this thing.

In fact, the matter explained by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, no matter how big or small, he never dared to slack off, so he planned to send a team of capable people to Xiangshan later, that is, to dig three feet into the ground, and also to find out all the news.

Emperor Tianqi's face softened slightly at this time, and then he said: "Regarding the matter of Liaoyu, the treasury and the treasury, is there still silver?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is really no silver." Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly: "But ...... Last time, didn't there be 150,000 taels of silver, which was lent to the Zhang family by the Weaving Bureau......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly showed displeasure: "People have borrowed some money, how can they go to collect it?" Is there any other way? ”

The matter of stocks, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not easy to talk about, to be honest, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is afraid of spreading it, and since then he has become a big fool of the Apocalypse.

So...... I had to pretend to be generous.

Wei Zhongxian said aggrievedly: "The slave is really helpless, the treasury is still relying on the internal money, and the internal money here, this year's expenses are really not small, Your Majesty, you know...... It's an eventful time now, and money is needed everywhere......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "Liao salary is a very important matter, and it must not be in arrears again." You find a way for me, if there are not hundreds of thousands of taels, it is tens of thousands of taels, there must be! No matter how poor you are, you have to squeeze out some. ”

Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to say, "Slave, think of a way again." ”

Where to think about this method, the imperial court has so much income, especially the internal money, the thousands of taels of silver a year, almost confiscated, and it has been spent, which place does not owe money?

Of course, Wei Zhongxian also knew that the life of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very difficult, since he had a Liao salary, the palace had to cut down on food and clothing every few days, and the internal money was spent in less than half a year, and the year's income was spent, not to mention that hundreds of thousands of taels of Liao salary owed on credit were tens of thousands of taels...... It's hard to take it out.

It's strange to say, there are countless rich people in this world, but the poorest is the imperial court, those who are worth tens of thousands of dollars, you can't collect a penny from him, if it weren't for the mining tax still supporting, Wei Zhongxian himself didn't know what to do.

The next day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still thinking about stocks.

But at this time, Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong came together, and Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also came.

"Your Majesty...... Oh no, something happened. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Huang Liji said: "I heard that the Qianhu Office in Xinxian County actually released all the captives, and let these captives follow the Jiannu envoy back to Liaodong. ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he was immediately shocked, and couldn't help frowning: "Are those Jiannu captives who killed the capital at the beginning?" ”

"Exactly, three or four hundred." Huang Liji said: "When the military department heard about this, it was shocked...... This...... Why did the captives who had been caught with great difficulty be released again? So...... The minister thinks that this matter is very important, whether to chase people back immediately, Your Majesty, you must not let the tiger return to the mountain. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face also became solemn for a moment, and then said, "Xuan Zhangqing come to see him, I will listen to what he is planning." ”
