"You tell them that they go back first, and I already know what they say."

"But this matter is not for me to decide, I will go to the palace immediately to tell Your Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty will raise the price."

Thor and Bruce had no choice but to be driven away.

But the housekeeper had seen Bruce disappear around the corner and immediately informed Xu Guangqi.

A palanquin set off from the backyard and headed straight for the palace.

Because Xu Guangqi was urging too quickly, several palanquin drivers were already sweating profusely when they arrived at the palace.

After Xu Guangqi got off the sedan chair, he looked at these sedan chair men, and he was also embarrassed.

He was originally a very calm person, but he didn't expect that he would now bend his waist for 40 million taels.

But he was able to look back at the butler and said, "Reward! ”

At this time, not only Xu Guangqi was happy, but several sedan chair drivers were also happy, they really had their own gains, the world was the same, but so.

It's just that Xu Guangqi came to the palace and was surprised to find that Zhu Youxiao is still practicing calligraphy.

If it is calculated in this way, in fact, His Majesty has nothing to do except for his love of eating, drinking, and merrymaking, of beauties, of silver, of murder, and of not listening to the advice of his ministers.

Who said His Majesty was a faint king?

That's just nonsense!

In the future, if anyone dares to say such things in front of him, he Xu Guangqi will be the first to refuse.

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, regardless of whether His Majesty's writing was good or not, but at least, His Majesty's desire to learn made him admire it very much.

Zhu Youxiao saw Xu Guang get up, put the brush aside, his face was a little bored, looked at Xu Guangqi and said: "Xu Aiqing is here again this time, I'm afraid this time can bring me good news, have those people already agreed to the conditions I proposed?" ”

Xu Guangqi bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty is really a clever calculation, those barbarians really agreed to Your Majesty's conditions, they are willing to use six times the price to buy these stocks in the hands of the underground, and now there are thousands of barbarians gathered in the guest house, I am afraid that you can really buy all the stocks in your hands Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, "That's not in vain." ”

Xu Guangqi was a little surprised when he heard this, but he was embarrassed to ask Zhu Youxiao what method he used to make these barbarians agree to such harsh conditions. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and asked, "You want to know about this?" ”

Xu Guangqi nodded impatiently, "Your Majesty, the minister is really very curious. ”

Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said: "Then I will tell you that those East India Companies encountered a storm at sea before, and several ships were overturned by the wind, and some pirates were encountered, and some of their merchant ships were robbed, which caused the East India Company to suffer repeated setbacks. ”

Xu Guangqi knew all this news, but he always felt that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, at this time, Zhu Youxiao talked about what he had done here.

"I have already planted spies in the South Seas, and every time something happens to their East India Company, I let people spread the news."

"Once or twice, it doesn't have much impact on the stock price of the East India Company, those pirate leaders and the leaders of armed merchant ships in the South Seas are all begging for a living at sea, knowing that such a thing is inevitable, naturally I don't think there is any problem."

"But what if this happens five or six times, seven or eight times?"

Xu Guangqi's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhu Youxiao in disbelief, and finally understood how this matter had developed to this point, and he could even deduce what Zhu Youxiao had done later.

He had also learned what kind of stocks were before, and the East India Company was actually very strong, but Zhu Youxiao sent spies everywhere to publicize the shipwreck, and faked the appearance that the East India Company was about to go bankrupt, resulting in the East India Company's stock becoming more and more unpopular.

Zhu Youxiao's voice came faintly again, "The truth in this world is the same, it can be summed up in just two words, human nature!" ”

"It's the same as what you said about cheap grain hurting farmers, why can't you sell it for more money?"

"Because when there is more grain, the price will be controlled in the hands of grain merchants, and if you don't sell it, someone will naturally sell it, so it will hurt the farmers."

"It's the same with this stock, it's not even as good as understanding grain, after all, food is a real thing, and it can be used to fill your stomach in your hands, but stocks can't."

"I have people secretly come and buy the shares of these East India Companies many times, and then sell them in a big way."

"The more stocks in this market, the more panicked the people who own the stocks, the more they like to sell the stocks in their hands, and the more they are afraid that they will become the last people to take over."

"As a result, the more people sold, the lower the price, and with a few accidents there, the East India Company's stock collapsed."

"I bought a large number of stocks at a very low price, and the entire Nanyang stock is about to be rounded by me."

"It's a pity that all this is false, the East India Company is not so weak, and their profits this year are still very high, several times more than last year."

"Elder Xu Ge, what kind of result will you say as soon as such news spreads?"

Xu Guangqi even felt chills all over his body, just by imagining, he could already imagine what kind of result this news would be.

Your Majesty's grasp of human nature is really three points to the bone, and the Donglin Party still wanted to compete with Your Majesty in the past, but they really died unjustly!

"Come back, I think about it, those pirate leaders and merchants must hurry up to buy the stock back."

"But most of the stocks in the entire Nanyang are in the hands of Your Majesty, and there are very few stocks they can buy, so the price is naturally very high."

"Coupled with the fact that the East India Company had good profits, they were even more confident, so the price rebounded quickly, and now it even surpassed the previous highest price."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said with a smile: "It's good that you understand this matter, this is what I told you before, I don't care about the profits of one, two, and thirty percent." ”

"Because if I sell it at that price, I'm so sorry for the Heaven and Earth Ancestor!"

Xu Guangqi also felt a little guilty about what happened before.

If he had believed in Zhu Youxiao enough, he would not have come to persuade Zhu Youxiao many times, hoping that Zhu Youxiao would change his mind and sell the stock quickly. ”

If Zhu Youxiao really sold the stock cheaply, then this time, they would have lost nearly seven years of taxes in the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
