Zhang Jing thought for a while and said: "In the eyes of the minister, Huang Gong's words are a bit alarmist. In the minister's view, the gentry also have good and bad good and bad, even if there are many bad gentry to collude with Li Zicheng, but I may not have the world's scholars and scholars, now some people make public opinion, saying that because of the new policy and forced scholars and scholars to prefer to support Li Zicheng, but the minister does not think so. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded after hearing this, feeling that it made sense.

Zhang Jingyi then said: "The current chaos is precisely caused by the lack of thoroughness of the new policy. Therefore, the top priority is to continue to implement the new policy, in addition, the construction of railways, also to accelerate, so the minister believes that the most important thing now is to speed up financing, all the construction, all the construction. ”

After hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Zhang Jing: "Doesn't Zhang Qing have a way again?" ”

Zhang Jingyi thought in his heart that the reason why he wanted to launch stocks was that he could not quickly toss out a large-scale industrial chain by relying on the power of one person alone, or the funds of one person or two.

And the essence of financing, or finance, is to move this process forward quickly.

Zhang Jing said: "I heard that many people are now very inconvenient to deliver stocks, and many people need to ask around if there are buyers and sellers in order to buy and sell, even if it is a transaction, such a huge amount of money, it is difficult for both parties to have security." ”

So I thought it was ...... Liaodong Mining, anyway, is also preparing to list new shares, in addition, the railway company needs to build branch lines everywhere, but also need to continue financing, may as well Your Majesty in the Bell and Drum Tower, open a place to trade stocks, so that everyone wants to trade, there is a place to go. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in surprise: "Where to trade stocks? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought about it seriously, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "This idea is good, this is like ...... The East Market is the same as the West Market, except that it is not goods that are bought and sold, but stocks? ”

"Exactly." Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but praise the Emperor of the Apocalypse in his heart, smart people can understand it at one point!

So he continued: "In the future, both sellers and buyers will at least not have to move around like flies, and the price will be more transparent than before!" In addition, a large number of transactions are completed in one place, and the data of these transactions can also be recorded and consulted in the future, so as not to make the capital like a fly without a head. ”

Emperor Tianqi said: "This matter will be handled by Zhang Qing, and a charter must be established, and after the rules are established, this business will be more convenient, and it will be more conducive to circulation." ”

Why stocks are valuable.

In addition to profit dividends, in fact, it also has one attribute, that is, once you need money urgently, you can immediately cash it out.

But in this era, there are many procedures to go through if you want to cash out, you have to find a buyer, and after you find a buyer, you still have to negotiate the price with him, and after the price is negotiated, you still need to trade with someone!

There are countless hassles, a lot of time involved, and the cost of the insured.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for ordinary people to trade small stocks.

However, if a guarantee mechanism is established to cash out at any time, then the future stock market is difficult to say.

Zhang Jing said: "The minister's idea is already there, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Your Majesty will wait and see." ”

You say a word, you say a word, I say a word.

Huang Liji didn't leave, he bracked his ears and listened carefully without saying a word, especially when he heard that Zhang Jingyi's Liaodong Mining was about to be released, his heart couldn't help but move.

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse noticed that Huang Liji was still there, and said, "Huang Qing's family, there is nothing for you to do here." ”

"Yes, yes." Huang Liji had no choice but to retire.

The current stock market has indeed reached a high level, and the railway company has reached 27 taels of silver per share.

This price has slowly stabilized, and the previous boom has gradually dissipated, after all, fools know that such a high position, although it may not fall, but it still wants to skyrocket, but it is not so easy.

However, at this time, those who have silver in their hands have already sensed that the industries of minerals and steel, as well as textiles and logging, are profitable, so they are frantically looking for opportunities at this time.

Minerals, in particular, were the most difficult, because of the dictatorship of salt and iron, the cultivated land in the local area began to be divided, and other lands such as mountains and forests had fallen into the hands of the imperial court, at this time...... Even if you want to invest in mining, it is not so easy at this time.

Therefore, all we can do is hoard scrap iron and ore.

It's just that...... This efficiency is simply too slow.

However, many textile workshops are blooming everywhere.

It's just that the Zhang family has achieved a first-mover advantage in textiles, and others follow suit, just a sip of soup.

However, these days, Daming Bao has been fueling the troubles, saying that there is a shortage of iron and coal.

It is even said that in the future, the price of this iron will be comparable to gold.

As for coal, the newspapers have called it 'black gold'.

Nowadays, this Da Ming Bao is almost a must-read for gentry and businessmen, as well as many people with considerable industries.

These days of indiscriminate bombardment have made people form a certain impression rooted in their hearts.

At the same time, there was heavy news coming out.

The railway company will issue new shares to finance the future ten branch railways, and as soon as the news came out, many people held on to the currency.

Of course, in the market, more people are circulating that this new stock will definitely not be a loss, but more people can't help but have a thought.

There are so many railways to be built today, and in the future, according to this trend, I don't know how many railways will be needed to operate, so how much steel and coal will it consume?

Now I heard that this iron ore and coal can only be used for 15 years, and the world's coal and steel will be exhausted, this is grounded, some people have calculated the current output, and some existing minerals, fifteen years is a conservative estimate.

Shouldn't this steel and coal really turn the sky upside down?

At this time, the news of Liaodong Mining began to spread quietly.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

I can't pay attention to it.

In everyone's impression, there may be a lot of coal in Kannai, but iron ore ...... To tell the truth, since the Qin and Han dynasties, iron ore has been excavated everywhere, and most of the easy-to-mine ores have long been mined.

However, Liaodong is different, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and many minerals that are easy to mine are not excavated at all because of the sparse population and perennial conquests.

It's obvious...... This is the main source of coal and iron in the future.

Not only that, but if the railway is opened in the future, the future is promising.

All of a sudden, everyone was looking forward to it.

But at this time, the stock exchange was finally established.

Announcements were placed everywhere, countless people rushed to tell each other, and the newspapers added fuel to the fire, and on this day, the stock exchange leaning on the bell and drum tower was noisy.

Many people have been waiting here for a long time.

For example, Liu Wenchang, Liu Wenchang has been staying in Xinxian these days, which can be described as an eye-opener.

The development of commerce there has been very mature, there are many emerging industries, such as ready-to-wear, etc., are the first to develop from there, and businessmen gather, Liu Wenchang shuttles through the streets and alleys every day, and after a long time, he has also made a lot of friends.

Of course, he is still afraid of being embarrassed, for fear that someone will know that he is the son of Liu Hongxun, a cabinet college student, after all, ...... In the eyes of ordinary people, it is shameful for someone like the Liu family to go into business after all.

As a result, he rarely shares his identity with others.

In Xinxian, the person who had the most contacts with him was called a businessman named Li Qin.

Li Qin is a native of Guanzhong, in fact, he was also a small gentry at the beginning, so he has read a lot of books.

After the drought in Guanzhong, in addition to the gentry, people like him, who had hundreds of acres of land at home, actually fell rapidly, so miserable that they came to the capital with the displaced people.

However, he can write and calculate, and soon established himself in the capital, first making accounts for people, and slowly saving a sum of silver, and immediately keenly aware that the ready-to-wear industry is bound to be hot.

After all, the vast majority of the original people were men and women weaving, even if they wanted to make clothes, they also bought cloth and went home to find their mother-in-law to cut and make new clothes.

But here in the capital, there are hired workers everywhere, and even after a large number of female workers began to appear, there are fewer and fewer women in this family who cut clothes, so people began to tend to buy ready-to-wear clothes.

He first opened a ready-to-wear shop, which soon became popular, and then he opened a workshop of his own, which was used for production and manufacturing, and the shop was used for sales, and the business was extremely prosperous.

Now, this Li Qin has become one of the few big businessmen in the garment industry in the capital, and his worth is not much compared to the real giants, but he also has a huge amount of 100,000 silver.

In fact, since the railway company issued stocks, businessmen like Li Qin are not limited to buying and selling stocks, their biggest dream is to package their own trading into stocks and sell them.

Early this morning, Li Qin and Liu Wenchang were waiting here.

The two of them looked forward to it, looking intently at the newly renovated huge building in front of them, listening to the people on the side talking about it, Li Qin couldn't help but say to Liu Wenchang beside him: "Brother Liu Xian, you say...... Why toss an exchange? ”

Liu Wenchang said: "I think it's for the convenience of trading." ”

"What's the use of being easy to trade? Even if you don't, don't you trade the same? ”

After all, Liu Wenchang has read books, and occasionally listens to his father talk about some things about governing the country, he smiled and said: "The transaction is convenient, the more people buy stocks, the more people buy, the greater the amount of funds, the larger the funds, the more valuable the stocks?" ”
