The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1787

[1787.Chapter 1699 Value doubled]

In fact, during the court meeting, news spread.

As soon as the news came out, those who had received the news in advance could not sit still.

Wang Bushi’s news channels are faster.

When a note was handed to Wang Bushi, who was on duty in the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy is extremely quiet now, and there are still people chattering about the stock market.

Wang Bushi only lowered his head and glanced at the note quickly, then took out a treasure note from his sleeve and gave it to the scribe who came to deliver the news.

Immediately, he stood up.

Several other Hanlin officials still found it strange. Someone said: “Xueshi Wang… this is…”

“Ask for leave!” Wang Bushi said decisively: “Go to the exchange.”

“What…what happened…?” “

Wang Bushi glanced at them meaningfully, but said nothing and walked away.

The few Hanlins left behind were all confused.

After that, the General Affairs Department sent a decree and ordered the Hanlin Academy to write it down.

At this sight… the faces of many Hanlin officials suddenly became miserable.

This decree was that the emperor wanted to call himself emperor and give up the throne to the prince. Not only that… Liu Jin was appointed as the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Duke Fang of Qi State succeeded Fan in the cabinet.

Everyone thought they had seen it wrong.

The news came too suddenly, and many people just felt overwhelmed and panicked.

The current emperor used to protect the prince and the Duke of Qi, which caused a lot of trouble. Now it’s better. The real masters are here. Will there be a good life in the future?

“Scholar Wang’s sudden departure just now is related to this matter?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

“How can this matter… be related? Scholar Wang only said to go to the exchange, this exchange… and this…”

Everyone was even more confused.

At this moment… Liu Jing, the Minister of Taichang Temple, had led several people to the Hanlin Academy in a hurry. He said with a little panic: “My lords, my lords… I just heard some rumors. I don’t know if they are true.” Really…”

Liu Jing looked distressed. He was in Taichang Temple and his heart was broken when he heard people talk about this.

But if you think about it carefully, maybe this is just a rumor in the market and cannot be believed. If there is a true purpose, it will definitely go through the Hanlin Academy. All you need to do is come to the Hanlin Academy to confirm it.

“Liu Gong…” Many Hanlin’s faces were ashen and they said with difficulty: “The rumors are true…”

Liu Jing felt dizzy. When he thought about it… what he had to face next… was one… one… …

He took a breath of cold air, his face became even sadder, his body trembled, and then he said: “Here… show me, is it a note from the palace?”

At this time, most people’s faces were not good. No one responded to him.

“Yes, where is Bachelor Wang? Where is Bachelor Wang?”

“Scholar Wang went to the exchange.”

“The exchange…” Liu Jing felt strange: “What is he doing at the exchange at this moment? It’s… it’s really inexplicable

“Yes… We are also puzzled. If… Wang Xueshi wants to use this to curry favor, he shouldn’t go to the exchange…”

Liu Jing looked depressed and was in a state of confusion

.

At that moment, suddenly, someone outside said: “Second uncle, second uncle…”

This voice was very familiar.

Liu Jing hurried out of the Hanlin Academy, but saw a businessman who was blocked by the guards at the door and couldn’t get in, so he shouted hysterically.

Of course Liu Jing recognized him, this was exactly what his nephew had said.

Liu Jing is the Minister of Taichang Temple. On the surface, Taichang Temple is only in charge of rituals and music and Tai Hospital. But in fact, because it needs to cooperate with sacrifices, ceremonies and other matters, Liu Jing holds the power of purchasing.

His nephew stated that he opened a business outside, specializing in the sale of some ritual vessels and musical instruments. With Liu Jing’s care, the business was prosperous.

This trading company is stated on the surface, but in fact, it is a business of the Liu family.

Therefore, through this business, Liu Jing accumulated a considerable fortune.

On the surface, he is very poor, but in fact, he can still get a small amount of one hundred thousand taels of silver at any time.

It’s just that… this nephew actually came directly to the public gate to look for him, which made Liu Jing’s face look confused. After all, his relationship with the statement was somewhat shameful.

He lowered his face in displeasure: “What are you doing here? Are you crazy?”

The expression on his face was also very bad. It seemed that at this time, he could no longer care about anything else. He fell to the ground with a thud: “Something happened, something big happened. The stock price has skyrocketed. “

Suddenly… skyrocketed…

Liu Jing had a look of horror on his face.

Because not long ago, he was ridiculing Wang Bushi, thinking that the previous rise in stock prices was just a trap in the urn of Qi Gongfang’s successor, so… he simply short-sold the stock price, and even… used his secret trading activities, Comprehensive short selling of the stock price, as long as the stock price falls, you can make profits from it.

“Why…why did it go up?” Liu Jing couldn’t help but get anxious, and didn’t care that some people were starting to look at him sideways.

This is all the wealth accumulated by me as an official for many years, so I can’t make any mistakes.

“Second uncle…” She said in a tearful voice: “It has been spread all over the world that the prince is going to ascend the throne and the Duke of Qi is going to join the cabinet. Those damn merchants are always cautious and cautious on weekdays. They are afraid that they will be exposed. Therefore, there is always some room for investment, and no one dares to be the first, for fear of becoming Shen Wansan. What’s more, although the court implements new policies, new policies always come up every now and then. Repeatedly, the new policies in many places started to falter, probably because local officials were acting in a treacherous manner. Because of this, the merchants were very cautious. “

But…but…this time when I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was going to ascend the throne, the merchants went crazy. It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince strongly supports the New Deal. Once he ascends the throne, the New Deal will inevitably come into effect, and there will be unlimited room for the future market. And there is also the Duke of Qi, who is implementing this New Deal with his disciples. Cabinet, a lot of strategies that are beneficial to the New Deal are bound to come out, and many officials who are blocking the New Deal are bound to be unlucky. Not to mention, with the protection of Qi Guogong, who dares to attack these merchants, their good days… are coming. “

Businessmen are very smart, and they are best at adapting to the changing circumstances.

When the market is risky, they will inevitably be cautious and reluctant to bet all their wealth on it. They always follow the principle of a cunning rabbit with three burrows.

But once…the risk to the imperial court completely disappeared, then they would really feel relieved.

Just as the officials did not trust the prince and the Duke of Qi, on the contrary, the merchants believed in the prince and the Duke of Qi. They were convinced that the prince and the Duke of Qi had always protected and escorted them in the court.

Now that these two people are in charge…

this means that a vast market will be in front of them in the future. It also means that they can reveal their wealth without any precautions and conduct business openly.

What businessman can’t see business opportunities? Once you are optimistic about the market prospects, the most intuitive reflection is the trading market.

A large number of workshops will expand, and they will require countless amounts of money. Once they expand, it means they will be profitable, and investing in them will definitely be profitable.

So… countless funds entered the trading market like crazy.

When the big merchants took action, the small merchants naturally couldn’t sit still.

Immediately afterwards, it was transmitted to ordinary people.

Who doesn’t want to strike while the iron is hot and increase the value of the money in their hands?

Such…the crowds were all empty…

Liu Jing’s face turned pale. He felt that his legs were a little weak. He held on hard and said: “I understand, I understand. No wonder that Wang is not an official…that Wang is not an official.” The official… rushed to the exchange anxiously, this bitch, this bitch…”

Liu Jing gritted his teeth, almost beating his chest again, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had a lot of experience. Dongli District, Ding After regaining his composure, he glared at the statement and said, “Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go to the exchange.”

“It’s too late.” He said with a tearful tone: “We don’t have any precious money for trading in our hands. All the treasure banknotes have been sold short, and now there is no way to withdraw them, and… and… we have also leveraged, second uncle… we can borrow money to sell short, if it continues to rise like this, we… We…”

Liu Jing knew the importance of time, and he still had a glimmer of hope just now, but now, it seemed…

He felt like the world was spinning, and his vision went dark, and then… he felt his heart felt stuffy, so he covered himself His heart was foaming at the mouth.

“Second uncle, think of a way, think of a way.”

Liu Jing couldn’t say a word, and still covered his heart with a look of difficulty.

Upon seeing this statement, I knew in my heart that everything was over.

His second uncle was at his wits end.

At this point, he didn’t even come forward to give first aid. At this moment, even his second uncle had no choice. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to pack up some of the things and run away?

So he stood up, turned around, and ran away without looking back.

At this time, Liu Jing looked at the retreating figure, finally spitting out a mouthful of old blood and fell to the ground.

The officers in front of the door hurriedly came forward to provide first aid.

…………

When Emperor Hongzhi rushed to the exchange, the exchange was already crowded.

Emperor Hongzhi looked stunned, and finally squeezed in under the protection of Xiao Jing and others.

Everyone in the exchange had red eyes.

Countless people were waving their treasured banknotes, as if the banknotes were free of charge. No matter what the stock was, if it was available, they would immediately buy it.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around at the crowded crowd, and finally grabbed a merchant beside him: “Today…what happened?”

“What happened?” The merchant stared at Emperor Hongzhi with an incredulous look on his face: “What’s going on?” What can happen? His Royal Highness is going to ascend the throne and become the emperor! “

His tone seems to be that he wants to be the emperor.
