The most direct reaction to the surge of Guangping Mining is that Liaodong Mining began to decline.

In fact, this can also be understood, the market is limited funds, a large amount of funds poured into Guangping Mining, is bound to draw out a large amount of funds.

For a while, it was inevitable that someone would laugh at Liu Wenchang.

Zhang Jing was still calm, and still took care of the mess in his hands.

In addition to this, he is now working on electric currents.

The structure of this thing is actually very simple, of course...... It cannot be compared with later generations, this is the most primitive electrical research.

In order to study, a group of military academy leaders and some craftsmen have been conducting various experiments almost every day according to Zhang Jingyi's methods.

It's just that...... There has been little progress at the moment, but the cost of various experiments has been staggering.

This is actually Zhang Jingyi's problem, Zhang Jing only knows the principle, but does not know anything else, so he can only rely on the principle to let everyone follow and explore together.

On this day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse summoned Zhang Jing to meet him.

As soon as Zhang Jing arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was happily gossiping with the cabinet officials.

He is in a good mood, mainly because the cabinet is now looking at him in everything, which means that the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart.

Seeing Zhang Jing coming, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "No need to be polite, how is the engineering school now?" ”

"We have already enrolled students, and now we are enrolling 1,421 students."

"With so little, is it because everyone refuses to read?"

Zhang Jingyi shook his head: "There is no experience in the first phase, so it is more of an experimental nature, first to cultivate a group of talents, and then according to the quality of teaching, make some corrections, and wait until the second and third phases after that, you can increase the intensity of enrollment, and you can't be greedy for more at the moment." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was happy: "I still thought that Zhang Qing wanted to save me money, so I don't have to save it, haha...... I have silver now, Zhang Qing, do you know that now I have contracted this mine, and in a year, there are two or three million taels of silver, this is the beginning, I want to contract out all the mines in the world, isn't that better than copying the house. ”

Zhang Jing twitched, indicating that she was smiling.

Emperor Apocalypse said: "Do you know about this Guangping mining recently?" ”

"I know a little bit about it."

"What does Zhang Qing think, can he buy it?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi seriously.

Several other ministers also pricked up their ears.

"Yes." Zhang Jing said: "However, the minister thinks that its growth is limited, and there are still some risks." ”

"Risk?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jing said: "Its financial report is published in this newspaper, and the minister has probably seen it, and now the net profit of this mining industry is about 170,000 taels of silver, of course, it says...... In the future, with the rise of iron prices, they will also mine on a larger scale, which can ensure that in the next three years, the scale of mining will increase more than tenfold, and the profit can reach more than three million taels, or even more. Not only that, but this is only iron ore, in addition, there is also coal, timber, etc., so that the future profit is even more amazing. ”

However, when he took a closer look, he found that he ...... There are some famous halls in it, in the past, there were mines there, but the profits were not good, why now as soon as they contract, the profits have increased greatly. In addition to this, they claim that they can increase the scale in the future, what is this scale...... The cost of mining will increase these ...... But they didn't say it explicitly. There are many more questions like this, which makes the minister feel that these people ...... Mining is fake, and the mind of selling stocks is heavier. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded: "Is that so?" ”

Zhang Jingyi: "The essence of listing is to use the stock market to obtain funds and do things well. It is not to cash out a large amount of gold and silver with the help of listing. So what the minister fears is that in the end, the cart is turned upside down. Therefore, the minister believes that many rules and regulations of the stock market still need to be slowly improved, otherwise, in the future, all kinds of people will only rush to go public and sell stocks, but forget their original intentions. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was thoughtful.

At this time, someone said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is impossible, this Guangping Mining is listed, and the railway and Liaodong Mining are the same, why the railway and Liaodong Mining are doing things in a down-to-earth manner, and this Guangping Mining has become a listed silver." It is okay for the king of Liaodong to be worried, but it is a little inappropriate to suspect people with such intentions. Now that the new deal has begun to be implemented, all kinds of waste are waiting to be lifted, inside and outside the capital, the demand for iron ore is huge, at this time, everyone is not encouraged to mine, but to monitor it, I am afraid that from now on, no one is willing to open the mine. ”

Someone is in a hurry.

The one who spoke was Zhang Yanghao, the new secretary of the ministry, this Zhang Yanghao was a native of Beizhili, and those gentry entered Beijing, in addition to visiting Huang Liji, the second was to visit him.

Fellow villagers help fellow villagers, for this reason, in order to show his support, Zhang Yanghao also secretly let his relatives buy a large number of stocks.

At this time, you Zhang Jingyi want to check Guangping Mining, as soon as the news comes out, it will be repaid, and tomorrow everyone will think that Jinyiwei is going to kill people, and this stock is only afraid that it will fall directly to the bottom.

After hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was thoughtful, and then looked at Huang Liji: "What does Huang Qing think." ”

Huang Liji said lightly: "Your Majesty, what the minister is worried about is that if Guangping Mining is investigated, on the one hand, it will have a great impact, and now inside and outside the capital, many people have bought Guangping Mining, and there are many Confucians who support the new policy, for it, once it is thoroughly investigated, it is inevitable that public opinion will boil." On the other hand, if the mine is contracted, who will dare to contract the mine in the future? ”

As soon as Huang Liji said this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly fell silent.

The last sentence is very powerful, this is linked to mine contracting, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse is pointing to making a fortune on it.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "But Zhang Qing's words also make sense, according to me, it's better to be like this, Jinyiwei don't disturb them, if there is really something, just intervene." ”

Zhang Jingyi was actually just suspicious, but there was no evidence, so he nodded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately said happily: "I am implementing a new policy to open peace for all generations, and now all the ministers are helping me, so it is good to work together." ”

Coming out of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhang Yanghao seemed a little unhappy, he quickly caught up with Huang Liji in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "Huang Gong, what does Zhang Jingyi mean, his family's shares can't be sold, so he wants our fellow villagers in Beizhili to ......"

Huang Liji and Zhang Yanghao are also fellow villagers, at this time I saw Zhang Yanghao's angry face, this Zhang Yanghao's career is very smooth, since the Wanli years after winning the Jinshi, he has been all the way to the clouds, and now he is a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, and the future is limitless, so it seems a little arrogant.

Huang Liji pulled his face and said: "Why do you say this, Your Highness is also out of good intentions, you should say these words less, don't say more." ”

Zhang Yanghao was bored, and felt a little embarrassed, so he said stupidly: "What I'm worried about is that once Jinyiwei really spoils the matter of Guangping Mining, you and I, a first assistant, a heavenly official, will have any face in the future, worthy of all the villagers." ”

Huang Liji only had a cold face and walked quickly.

Zhang Yanghao: "......"

So Zhang Yanghao had to leave the palace, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, this Huang Gong is really afraid of things, not a person who does big things.

It's just that when he thought of His Majesty's last words, he was a little worried, so when he returned home, he asked the chief to summon someone.

This person is Zhang Yanzhi, the largest owner of Guangping Mining, Zhang Yanzhi's ancestors are all high-ranking officials, and he dare not say that he is the third prince of the fourth world, but he is also a protégé and a former official all over the world.

The two saluted each other, and Zhang Yan said: "Brother Xian summoned me, what is the matter?" ”

Zhang Yanghao smiled bitterly: "Your mining, there's nothing wrong, right?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Yanghao said: "It is the operation of all aspects...... There can be obstacles. ”

"Why did Brother Xian say this, but is there a villain doing it?"

Zhang Yanghao looked at Zhang Yanzhi's sincere appearance, and thought that this was the son of the Zhang family in Guangping, the Zhang family in Guangping has been an heirloom for more than ten generations, and it is the family of Jishan in Beizhili, so he immediately said: "I just asked casually, and I won't ask again." But the old man has to remind you that you are very hot now, and I am afraid that I will arouse the suspicion of the villain. ”

Zhang Yanzhi listened to it and smiled: "With Huang Gong and Brother Zhang Xian in the court, who dares to do anything?" ”

Zhang Yanghao said: "Just let you be careful." ”

Zhang Yanzhi heard that there was something in the words, so he wrote it down in his heart: "Please rest assured, Brother Fool, Brother Fool must pay more attention." ”

"That's very good." Zhang Yanghao was happy.

"By the way, Brother Xian......" Zhang Yanzhi smiled: "I was about to come to the door this time, and I have something to say." ”

Zhang Yanghao picked up the teacup: "What?" ”

"After the issuance of new shares, I still have a stock here, thinking in my heart, now that the stock is selling well, it is also these days, Brother Xian has been running around for our mining industry, but he can't work in vain."

Zhang Yanghao's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean, you want to give shares to the old man?" The old man is not that kind of person, and the virtuous brother inevitably looks down on the old man too much. ”

There is a sentence in the second half that Zhang Yanghao did not say, now that His Majesty has copied how many people, you are not afraid that the old man will also be copied.

Zhang Yanzhi smiled and said, "No, no, no, it's not a share gift, but a ...... Ask Brother Xian to buy shares. ”

"Buy stocks?"

"Actually, there aren't many of these stocks, but only 500,000 shares, if you want it, you might as well sell it to Brother Xian for one or two pieces of silver."

When Zhang Yanghao heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

You know, the mining stocks, in the market has been two or five dollars, and some people say that at least to five taels, so that now the primary market is almost impossible to buy new shares, and even the secondary market, in fact, are reluctant to sell, to put it mildly, even if it is two or five dollars of silver, it may not be able to buy it in a big way.

This is equivalent to buying shares for one tael of silver, and making one or two or five dollars of silver when it changes hands.

Zhang Yanghao coughed desperately: "This ...... No, foolish brother, I'm ...... It's very important to pay attention to the honor! ”
