Although the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty have not experienced the stock market crash in later generations. But they are still keenly aware of the potential dangers of the stock as something is wrong.

Sun Ruhai is one of them, on the day he found out that the dividend was distributed, the stock price rose by 10 percent, and he decisively sold all the 300 shares he was holding.

After Sun Ruhai got 33,000 taels of silver, he proudly showed off to the people around him.

"If you want to sell, buy it quickly, I estimate that the stock will fall tomorrow!"

"Why?"

"Doesn't this mean that someone wants to inflate the stock price and then take the opportunity to sell more shares to cheat money?"

"Huh?"

When the surrounding businessmen heard this, their minds became lively, thinking about whether they wanted to sell the stocks in their hands.

Zhu Yunxi hid on the top floor of the trading hall, constantly listening to the reports of his subordinates in the exchange.

"Your Highness, there are 300 shares for sale!"

"Buy!"

"Your Highness, another 500 shares are sold!"

"Buy them all!"

Zhu Yunxi bought 2,000 shares on the same day, which was able to stabilize the stock price at 110 taels per share.

This move of his gave great confidence to those who held it.

The next day, Zhu Yunxi did the same, raised the stock price to 112 taels, and acquired 300 shares.

On the third day, Zhu Yunxi raised the stock price to 115 taels, but only received 200 shares.

Two days after Sun Ruhai sold the stock, he saw that the stock had risen by another five taels of silver, and his intestines were ruined.

He never thought that this thing was still rising!

At the current price, it is already higher than the annual dividend, are the people who buy stocks stupid?

In fact, Sun Ruhai is not the only one who thinks so, but many businessmen are skeptical.

This thing is so evil, how can it go up so high?

However, within a few days, the news of the acquisition of Maanshan Iron and Steel Plant by the Ming Iron and Steel Chamber of Commerce came out, and everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that the future income of the Minggang Chamber of Commerce is far more than now, this is the emperor's grandson secretly buying back shares!

A group of businessmen figured this out, and immediately covered the stocks in their hands and treated them as family heirlooms.

The imperial grandson would rather buy back at a higher price, which shows a problem, the imperial grandson did not plan to take advantage of it!

This is very important.

In the era of the supremacy of imperial power, if the imperial grandson sent Jinyi Wei to the door and let them take the initiative to hand over the shares, who would dare not hand them over?

However, now the imperial grandson would rather spend money than send a brocade guard, or send that group of people wearing shark suits to the door.

From this alone, it can be seen that the imperial grandson is a person who talks about rules.

After Zhu Yunxi released the news of the Ming Iron and Steel Association's acquisition of the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, he publicized the expected output of the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant and the funds invested in the newspapers.

On the day this matter was reported, he didn't have to operate in the dark, and a large number of powerful businessmen entered the market to buy stocks.

There are also many officials and nobles in the DPRK and China, who heard that stocks can make money, and they also ran into the market one after another, investing a lot of money.

However, Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry to sell, but waited until they pulled the stock up to 120 taels, and then secretly sold 100,000 shares and returned 10 million taels of silver. ….

As soon as the money arrived, he hurriedly paid 1 million each to the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Works and the Ministry of Railways, and then took out another 3 million taels to order sea vessels.

The sea ships of the Ming Dynasty are mainly Fu ships, and small sea ships cost 10,000 taels of silver. 30,000 taels of medium-sized sea vessels. The large sea ship will cost 100,000 taels away, and as for the drawings of the Daming treasure ship that Zhu Yunxi searched for in his mind, according to the Chen family's shipwright, it can't even be built without 300,000 taels.

Zhu Yunxi now has money, and immediately ordered ten large sea vessels. Fifty medium-sized seagoing vessels were ordered in a configuration of five cruisers for each large seagoing vessel.

The remaining 500,000 taels will be let Fujian shipbuilders build Daming treasure ships.

As for the issue of armament,

It is necessary to wait for the sea ship to be built and driven to Jinling City for unified assembly.

First, the transportation of artillery is a big problem, and second, it is inconvenient for the country's heavy weapons to be used by people.

After Zhu Yunxi finished this, he still had five million taels of silver left in his hand, all of which he deposited in his bank as the principal.

Now the bank is still in the adaptation period, and many people in the Ming Dynasty have not fully adapted to the existence of this thing, but just regard it as a store for exchanging money.

However, Zhu Yunxi is not in a hurry, he has time to cultivate the market.

After Zhu Yunxi ordered the ship, he started the recruitment mode.

Ten large seagoing ships and fifty medium-sized seagoing vessels would require at least fifteen thousand navies, plus five thousand marines.

Zhu Yunxi just casually mentioned this to Lao Zhu when he was having lunch with Lao Zhu, without saying the specific number of people or what he was doing.

Lao Zhu didn't ask much when he heard this, nodded and agreed.

With Lao Zhu's authorization, Zhu Yunxi suddenly became much bolder, and sent ten conscription groups to recruit soldiers from all over the Ming Dynasty.

In order to increase the authority of the conscription group, Zhu Yunxi assigned a prince to each conscription group, and even Zhu Gui, who was newly married to Yan'er, was sent by him to be in charge of conscription near the capital.

Lao Zhu has been quietly watching Zhu Yunxi's performance, in fact, he had already learned from Wang De about the eldest grandson's thoughts before he mentioned this to him.

20,000 navy!

Something that has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

It's just that where did this grandson get so much money?

While he opened a factory, built a railway, and had to deal with the maritime merchants, could it be that this grandson would turn into silver?

Lao Zhu didn't know the twists and turns of the stock exchange, and he didn't want to know.

He is not good at managing money, and he doesn't care much about money, he only knows one thing, as long as he seizes military power.

Whether the businessmen are dishonest or the officials are dishonest, just send troops to arrest them.

However, the matter on Zhu Yunxi's side made him interested in the matter of money.

He spent a day understanding the rules of the stock exchange, and ordered someone to call Xie Kui over and ask Zhu Yunxi about the details of the stock price manipulation.

After knowing the cause and effect, Lao Zhu felt impressed with his eldest grandson for the first time, and felt that he was really a little old and couldn't keep up with his eldest grandson's train of thought.

This grandson's method is very simple, it is nothing more than the routine of businessmen buying low and selling high. ….

However, as an outsider, how easy is it to see the doorway?

What's more, people's hearts are greedy, and businessmen are profit-seeking.

With the two golden signboards of Minggang Chamber of Commerce and Jinling Coal Industry, Zhu Yunxi's grandson has as much money as he wants!

After Lao Zhu figured out where his eldest grandson's money came from, he didn't care about his conscription.

He is still relieved of his eldest grandson.

If Zhu Yunxi really wanted to rebel, he could force himself to abdicate with the help of smallpox last year, so why wait until today?

It's just that I'm a little stunned that the eldest grandson will recruit 20,000 troops all at once, this grandson's steps are too big, right?

Lao Zhu mentioned it to Zhu Yunxi a few times every now and then, and when he saw that Zhu Yunxi was still playing with himself and pretending to be stupid, he didn't bother to care.

Just instructed Jinyiwei to keep an eye on it.

Zhu Wei also received a conscription errand, or Zhu Yunxi personally assigned him the direction - Yiwu.

Before Zhu Wei came to Yiwu, he had no impression of Yiwu at all, and he didn't even know that this place was the county of the Ming Dynasty.

For the arrival of the Prince of Daming, Wang Tiren of Yiwu Zhixian County gave meticulous care, not only ran to ten miles away early in the morning to greet him, but also ordered someone to clean up the county government to entertain His Royal Highness the King of Liao.

Although Zhu is a prince, he is not pampered in terms of food and clothing, he belongs to the kind of food and clothing, he catches a few toads from the moat, and he can eat them with relish when they are tender on the outside and charred on the inside.

But he poured

I don't have masochistic tendencies, and I'm still very happy to see a good house to live in and good things to eat.

After Zhu Zhi moved into the county government, he posted a notice of conscription throughout the county on the same day.

The next day, he even ordered the lieutenant and township chiefs of the compulsory counties to be summoned to the county government to explain to them the conditions and numbers of conscription.

"Lone is recruiting the navy on the orders of the emperor's grandson this time!"

"First of all, the most important thing is to be able to endure hardships and stand hard work!"

"Second, obey the law!"

"Number three, don't be afraid of death!"

"Fourth, give money, as long as you are chosen, the salary of one tael of silver a month will be doubled when you fight, and there will be an additional reward for winning the battle!"

When Zhu Wei said this, a lieutenant suddenly interrupted him and asked a question he had never thought of.

"Dare to ask the nobleman, what if you are unlucky enough to die in battle?"

When Zhu Wei heard this question, his brows immediately furrowed.

His eldest nephew didn't tell him about it, and he didn't know how much the pension for the soldiers who died in the Ming Dynasty was.

However, before he could speak, an old man next to him pouted disdainfully.

"What else can you do?"

"Of course, those who die in battle are considered unlucky, and you still expect the court to compensate you for your silver!"

When the inquiring chief heard this, the look on his face darkened, and he sighed and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi hurriedly stretched out five fingers.

"There is a bereavement pension!"

"If you are unfortunately killed in battle, the imperial grandson will compensate you fifty taels of silver!"

As soon as Zhu Zhi's words came out, all the lieutenant chiefs and township chiefs present were dumbfounded, and asked with disbelief on their faces.

"Nobleman, you're not a liar, can the imperial court really pay us fifty taels of silver?"

"Could it be that the imperial court lost fifty taels, and it will become five taels in our hands?" ….

"My brother followed King Wu to fight back then, and when he died on the battlefield, he was given a total of ten taels of silver, and it was not enough to buy a cow."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Zhu Zhi immediately swore to the sky.

"Gu just said very clearly, it is the imperial grandson who loses money, not the imperial court!"

"The pension money does not go to the public accounts of the imperial court, but to the private accounts of the emperor's grandson!"

"The emperor's grandson wants to open a money bank and a supply and marketing cooperative in every county, and it hasn't opened to you yet, but you will know when it opens later."

"When the time comes, if there are really people who have died in battle, the money will be delivered directly to you through post offices, supply and marketing cooperatives, banks and other stores!"

"If you say fifty taels, you will have fifty taels, and you won't have a penny less!"

That's when a well-informed man spoke.

"I know about the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw it when I went to Fucheng last month, everything has to be sold there, and grain, chickens, live chickens, live ducks and so on!"

"It's not as troublesome as when the government collects grain, as long as your grain is clean and you don't mix sand and gravel into it, you will be priced according to its fineness."

"When collecting grain, it is not as difficult as the people of the government, so I have to kick a few feet on the bucket and spill the grain. It's about giving money when you level a bucket, and settling accounts with a bucket, which is very fair!"

"In order to make a dowry for his daughter, my brother sold two loads of grain, plus three old hens, for a total of 1,300 yuan!"

The surrounding township chiefs and lieutenant chiefs only listened to a joke at first, but when they heard the last sentence, their eyes were red.

"What?"

"1,300 wen?"

"How much is a load of grain sold, how much is a hen?"

"Food is not expensive, a load of silver is worth five hundred and sixty yuan, and a chicken is worth sixty yuan of silver."

"But that's just their purchase price, if you buy it from them, it's expensive, and a chicken will cost twenty miles."

When everyone heard this, they all secretly calculated.

If these things are sold to the wealthy families in the village, it is estimated that they can be sold for 800 wen, which is too much.

However, if you sell it to that supply and marketing cooperative, you can sell an extra 500 Wen, which is true

It was a bonus.

Regardless of whether this soldier is wrong, this supply and marketing cooperatives are a good thing.

In fact, this is also the reason why Zhu Yunxi mainly promotes supply and marketing cooperatives.

Because according to Gao Ming and others, it was never the government that exploited the people the most, but the rich squires in the village.

The people usually use money, but they can only exchange grain with them. They took advantage of this to lower the price and used very low prices to collect grain, chickens, ducks, geese, livestock, etc., from the people.

Then, they sold it to the grain merchants in the city at a high price, or they opened their own grain stores, and sold it to the people in the city who needed to buy grain.

In this way, as soon as the inside and outside are handed over, they will have a few more profits.

Once Zhu Yunxi wants to implement a whip law, the biggest obstacle is that the people have no money in their hands.

If the common people want to pay taxes with money, they have to exchange the grain they have grown so hard for the squires, so that the common people will be looted for nothing.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi never expected the supply and marketing cooperatives to make money, and just wanted to cut the squire from it.

As the common people brought the news of the imperial grandson's conscription back to the village, the news that the county town was going to open a supply and marketing cooperative also spread in the village and in the streets. ….

Many people have little interest in being soldiers, but they are looking forward to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Only the rich squires in the village were very disgusted, because once the supply and marketing cooperatives were opened in the city, they would have lost a way to make money.

Liu Zhenliu, the old man of Huangsan Village, Shangxi Town, Obligation County, was very angry, not only dropped his favorite porcelain bowl, but also ordered his whole family to starve with him.

He has released a lot of debts over the years, and just eating interest every year can make his family earn a lot of money.

If the imperial court really opened the Nalaoshizi Supply and Marketing Cooperatives in the compulsory county, wouldn't all those poor ghosts in the village become rich?

Once the poor ghosts in the village can have money, is it still money?

Liu Zhen paced around the house and thought about it for a night, and the next day he sent several long-term workers out of the family and asked them to go to the village to ask for money from door to door.

If you really don't have any money, you can use things to pay off your debts!

Daddy Huang's family is in the ranks of forced debts, he went up the mountain to mine in his early years and suffered a collapse of the house, one leg was broken, and the family borrowed five taels of silver from Master Liu in order to treat him.

Over the years, the profits have rolled to ten taels, and now let him pay off his debts at once, where did he get so much money?

Daddy Huang's eldest son, Huang Gou'er, saw that Daddy was worried, and then looked at his younger siblings at home, gritted his teeth and said.

"Daddy!"

"I heard from the people in the village that the emperor's grandson recruits troops in the county seat, and as long as he goes on a business trip, each person will have a settlement fee of ten taels of silver!"

Father Huang interrupted his son's words as soon as he heard this.

"No!"

"Daddy is paying this life to Master Liu, and he can't let you be this soldier!"

Yellow Dog laughed when he heard this.

"Daddy, don't talk big, I'm afraid that Master Liu is not rare!"

When Father Huang heard this, he immediately threw the crutch over and smashed it on his eldest son's body.

"You rammer, you can't even count the numbers, aren't you sent to death when you go to be a soldier?"

The yellow dog laughed again when he heard this.

"People are soldiers to fight, not to recruit us to count."

"Besides, people say that being a soldier can eat enough."

"Daddy!"

"My son hasn't eaten enough since he was a child, my son is hungry, my son wants to be a soldier, and my son wants to taste what it's like to be full!"

When Father Huang heard this, he immediately stopped speaking, but just let the tears run across the old face.

At this time, he only hated himself for being incompetent, allowing his son to grow up so much that he had never eaten a full meal!

"Son!"

"If that's what you say, then go ahead."

"It's not good to be a soldier, but you can eat enough."

"Hmm!"

"Thank you, Dad!"

After thanking his father, the yellow dog packed his luggage and went alone.

Said to be packing, its

There's really nothing to pack, just bring a few pairs of straw sandals and pick up two tattered clothes.

As for the bedding and luggage, he didn't want to take it at all, he just wanted to keep it for his younger brothers and sisters.

The next day, Huang Gou'er said goodbye to his father and went to the county recruitment office to report for duty.

As soon as he recorded his name in a scholar's office, he was taken by a military master to a noble man sitting on the cover of the Red Luo umbrella.

Zhu Wei looked at the thin body of the yellow dog, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"This body is too thin, can it fight like this?"

Huang Gou'er heard that the nobleman said that he was thin, and he couldn't care about the identity of the other party, so he immediately argued for himself.

"Don't look at me thin, I have a lot of strength, 100 catties of grain, I can pick two bundles by myself!"

Zhu Wei said with disdain on his face when he heard this.

"Can you pick two hundred pounds?"

"Come on, give him a 100-pound stone lock, if he can carry it, even if he passes!"

As soon as Zhu Zhi's voice fell, a guard with a tiger's back and a bear's waist threw a stone lock heavily in front of the yellow dog.

The yellow dog couldn't dodge, and choked on the dust splashed by the stone lock.

However, he didn't have time to complain, and immediately went to grab the stone lock.

However, with all his strength, the stone lock was firmly attached to the ground.

Seeing this, the yellow dog was so anxious that he was sweating, but he still had no way to take the stone lock.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi couldn't help laughing and laughed.

"What did Lone just say, Lone can't look at your body!"

"You'd better go home and raise it for another two years, and wait for the stone lock to be lifted, hahaha!"

When the yellow dog heard this, his anxious little face turned red.

"It's not a mile!"

"I haven't eaten enough, if you let me eat enough, I will definitely be able to lift the stone lock!"

Zhu Wei sneered when he heard this.

"Isn't that easy?"

"Come, take him to dinner, and if he still can't carry it after eating, give him ten cents and send it back!"

"No!"
