Zhang Gui really didn't believe that these rich businessmen who suddenly appeared would have a very simple background.

Therefore, he must use his Xichang intelligence network to keep an eye on these people.

Most of the rich businessmen who suddenly appeared and spent money to buy Maoshan iron ore stocks were all focused on the stock price because they themselves and the masters behind them were paying attention to the stock price, so they didn't notice that the West Factory was already eyeing them.

Tianqi also met with a courtier because of the sharp rise in stock prices, and at the court meeting, he said: "This time, the first batch of iron ore in Maoshan Iron Mine can be mined, which solves the urgent need of the Industrial Division, and the subjects of the world have all contributed to it, especially all of you Aiqing, who have broken their homes and contributed money to buy shares, so that the people who are now driven are also eager to buy stocks, and even the phenomenon of buying Maoshan iron ore stocks at a high price has appeared." Let the total value of the stock of Maoshan Iron Mine rise again and again, so I am very happy, I must be happy too, right? ”

"Huh?"

Tianqi looked at Kong Zhenyun as he spoke: "Kong Aiqing, why are you still sad?" You should be happy! ”

"I remember that although you claim to be poor, you also pawned your property, bought two hundred taels of shares, and got five hundred taels, and the shares you hold now must have risen to the value of thousands of taels of silver. Why are you still not happy? This has multiplied your family fortune several times! ”

Kong Zhenyun didn't want to say that he was still unhappy because he didn't become the first person to eat crabs, so he continued to pretend to be high:

"Your Majesty, the minister has always believed that a gentleman should be ashamed of his words and interests, and governing the country should also emphasize etiquette and religion rather than seeking profit, so as to correct the atmosphere of the world. Therefore, although the minister broke his family to buy shares for the country, he did not have much joy! ”

Tianqi didn't expect Kong Zhenyun's mouth to be very hard, so he asked directly: "Then right now, do you continue to buy more shares of Maoshan Iron Mine?" ”

"Ministers are not profit-seeking ministers, so naturally they are no longer profit-seeking! What's more, the minister is still only more than 1,000 taels now, and he can't buy much. ”

Kong Zhenyun directly denied that he continued to buy Maoshan iron ore shares.

But in fact, Kong Zhenyun had already let his brother nurse, but he did not do things in the name of his own domestic slaves, but bought a lot of stocks for millions of taels of silver in the name of a grain merchant in Shandong, and even bought a lot of stocks from others at a high price.

After all, capital is profit-seeking.

You must know that the land income of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly reduced because of the new policies of the official gentry to pay grain.

As a result, the assets of many powerful bureaucrats can only be stored in cellars, without the opportunity to make profits.

But now there is a lucrative investment opportunity.

Naturally, no one wants to miss it.

At this time, if Kong Zhenyun wants to buy the stock of Maoshan Iron Mine, it is like a person who is extremely hungry and can't eat the food in front of him.

Therefore, Kong Zhenyun could not really see such a good investment opportunity and not invest.

Even if this investment opportunity in front of him may lead to the destruction of his family.

He'll be unstoppable.

After all, the capitalists even dare to sell the ropes that hang themselves in order to pursue profits.

Although Kong Zhenyun is not a capitalist and a feudal landlord, he is also a person who holds a lot of assets in this world, and naturally he will not be an exception.

However, Kong Zhenyun naturally would not let the people of the Apocalypse and the Manchu Dynasty know.

After all, the character he has always created for himself is a poor character.

Apocalypse asked again, "What other ministers haven't bought it?" ”

At this time, Wu Zongda also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't buy it." ”

Qian Shisheng also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't buy it." ”

"So is the minister!"

"And the minister!"

……

After Tianqi saw that many ministers said conclusively that they didn't buy it, he deliberately asked: "Why not, since you are all honest and poor, why don't you take this opportunity to make some legitimate wealth?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, a gentleman does not compete with the people for profit!"

Wu Zongda replied at this time.

Qian Shisheng echoed: "Your Majesty, the minister also has this intention. Since the Maoshan iron ore is rich in iron ore and its value is immeasurable, and the purpose of the imperial court's reform is to enrich the country and benefit the people, the minister believes that the benefits of this mineral should be transferred to the people. ”

"yes!"

Kong Zhenyun also chimed in and said: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty should advocate that the uncle and the great uncle who hold a lot of shares should benefit the people. ”

After hearing this, Tianqi asked, "In this sense, do you also think that I should sell all the shares and give them to the people?" ”

"If Your Majesty really does this, it is the grace of the people of the world!"

Wu Zongda replied.

Apocalypse stood up directly and shouted, "You guys! ”

"Your Majesty! The minister also felt that this might be more in line with the original intention of benefiting the people. The minister is willing to sell three million taels of shares! ”

Zhang Gui deliberately expressed support at this time.

Apocalypse glanced at Zhang Gui in dismay.

When Chen Zizhuang saw Zhang Gui doing this, he was very impressed for a while, and secretly thought that it was the uncle of the country who was high and bright, and when he saw the sages and think together, he couldn't fall behind, so he said:

"Your Majesty, Uncle Guo and his ministers used to raise more than one million taels to buy tickets for Maoshan Iron Mine, not for profit, but to serve the country, and now if they can benefit the people, the ministers are also willing to sell one million taels of stocks."

Yuan Keli also stood up and said, "The minister is also willing." ”

……

For a time, many ministers of the reform faction stood up and expressed their willingness.

There is no way, they must abide by their political ideals, that is, they issue shares for the benefit of the people of the world.

They are still willing to sacrifice their economic interests over political interests.

After all, if he didn't really take the community to heart, he wouldn't have held a large number of Maoshan iron ore stocks at this time.

Conservative ministers such as Kong Zhenyun were naturally happy, because they were worried that they would not be able to hold enough shares of Maoshan Iron Mine.

You must know that the current Maoshan iron ore stocks, because they were bought in large quantities by the emperor and the ministers of the law changers in the early stage, are very scarce, and they are more expensive than gold, and the key is still rising.

Now, if Zhang Gui and other law-changing ministers can spit out the stocks they hold in the name of benefiting the people, it will naturally help them hold more stocks and then earn more profits.

Therefore, Kong Zhenyun deliberately praised at this time: "Your Majesty! Uncle Guo and Yuanfu, Otsuka Zai and other high wind and bright festivals, heavy life and light interests, is really loyal to the country, the minister thinks, His Majesty should be invited by him, in order to benefit the people of the world! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Wu Zongda followed along, and the corners of his mouth could not hide a smile.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

Many conservative ministers followed.

Tianqi understood why Zhang Gui and these people did this, and when he was moved, he sighed: "It's okay!" I Zhun Guo's uncle Zhang Gui and others, and I also gave out stocks worth five million taels to benefit the people of the world. ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Kong Zhenyun replied with a smile.

At this time, Bi Ziyan, the head of the household, stood up and said, "Your Majesty! In this way, there will be a large number of stocks to be traded, for fear of causing chaos, the minister suggested that the Ministry of Households set up a trading department, specifically responsible for stock trading transactions, and according to the actual price of pricing, that is to say, the seller of shares should be sold according to the current stock price set by the trading division, and not sold at a low price, and mess up my Ming economy, bad world justice. ”

The economy in Bi Ziyan's mouth is not the meaning of the economy of later generations, but the meaning of social management and political rule.

Wang Tong of the Sui Dynasty wrote in "Wen Zhongzi? The "Rites and Music" put forward the word "economy": "There is a way of economy, which is said to help the people through the country".

The economy proposed by Bi Ziyan at this time also originated from this.

Zhang Gui was quite satisfied when he heard Bi Ziyan say this, and said secretly: "Bi Ziyan is really worthy of being the last economist in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and his sensitivity to economic management is really strong, and he actually thought of setting up an exchange at this time." History has changed again because of itself! ”

Zhang Gui also echoed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Da Sinong said is very true, and the stock transaction must not be chaotic, otherwise it will cause endless harm." ”

Tianqi thought that it was indeed necessary to do this, after all, the stock could not be sold for nothing, and there must be a fair price, so he said: "Quasi-play!" ”

Because the stock of Maoshan Iron Mine is hot at the moment, after Bi Ziyan and several other ministers who are good at managing money law reasonably, the stock price set is naturally higher than the stock price that Zhang Gui bought for the first time, and it is much higher.

But because of this, the Fa-changing factions such as Tianqi, Zhang Gui, and Chen Zizhuang also made a lot of arbitrage.

However, because the stock price is still rising, there are still many people buying.

Kong Zhenyun even relied on the fact that he was a cabinet scholar and knew in advance the information that the emperor and Uncle Zhang Guo, the major shareholders of Maoshan Iron Mine, were going to sell their shares, so he prepared a lot of funds in advance, and even borrowed a lot with a high loan shark, and let his brother Fuchun buy a lot of stocks.

It's just that at this day's court meeting, when Tianqi asked Kong Zhenyun if he bought stocks, Kong Zhenyun still denied it: "The minister is poor, how can he have so much money to buy stocks that are more expensive than gold." ”

"It's good if you don't have it! I heard that recently, many high-ranking officials and eunuchs have sent people to buy stocks on a large scale, and the stocks have been raised many times, what do you want to do, you want to raise the threshold for the people to share the benefits of the court, and you don't want to benefit the people?! ”

Apocalypse asked.

"Eight hundred miles of urgency! Maoshan City is surrounded by 30,000 Jiannu legions! Maoshan Iron Mine is in danger! ”

At this time, the shouts of the brocade guards came from outside.

"What?!"

"Jiannu surrounded the Maoshan Iron Mine?!"

"In other words, the stock was bought for nothing?"

As soon as Kong Zhenyun heard the news, he realized that something was wrong, and he fainted directly for a while.
