At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 289 I Can't See Money

The next day, the memorial to the prefect of Yongping was delivered.

Zhu Qizhen sighed, the efficiency of Yongping Mansion is quite fast, but after reading it, his face became very ugly.

According to the memorandum, the gold ore in Caijiagou is of high grade, the annual profit is very rich, and the potential is very large.

Once the expansion is completed, more people will be recruited for mining, and the output will continue to increase. It is also said that this place is close to the capital, and the future profits will be very considerable.

Zhu Qizhen still kept the memorial aside, secretly thinking in his heart, there are only two possibilities for the local magistrate to boast so much.

Or, this Caijiagou gold mine really has unlimited potential, and gold can be dug out with just a pickaxe.

Or... the problem is serious!
"Yuan Bin!"

"Chen is here!"

"Send a few people to... Pay attention, it's an unannounced visit to find out the details of this Caijiagou gold mine. Also, who is currently holding Caijiagou stocks in the market, especially those with huge amounts, Check it out too."

"Yes!"

After Yuan Bin left, Huai En came forward with a teacup and said cautiously: "I don't know much about this stock, but I have heard some rumors."

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen asked puzzled, "What rumors?"

Huai En put down the teacup, and then said: "There is Xiao Jing under the servant, does the Emperor still remember?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Is that Xiao Jing who helped me take care of Huangzhuang?"

"It's this man!"

Wynn hurriedly said: "Since the emperor noticed the Caijiagou gold mine, the slaves have also kept an eye on it, and ordered Xiao Jing to go to the workshop to find out the details of this mine."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that besides Jin Yiwei, there was also the East Factory!

Since Wang Zhen's death, both Jin Ying and Wynn have kept a low profile, which has led to the fearsome name of Dongchang almost fading out of everyone's sight.

In the final analysis, these are directly related to being an emperor.

The emperor reused eunuchs, hoping to use eunuchs to suppress the civil official group, so Dongchang was the court eagle dog, barking its teeth and claws every day to harm people.

If the emperor doesn't need it, Dongchang is just a group of eunuchs.

Wynn continued: "There are private rumors that a large reason why the Caijiagou gold mine is so popular is because of those who hold stocks."

Zhu Qizhen didn't understand, and said, "Tell me specifically."

Wynn smiled and said, "Does your majesty still remember the children of those vassal states who studied abroad in Daming?"

Zhu Qizhen naturally remembered that when the Japanese pirates were cut off, he pointed the finger at the Japanese country, discussed the issue of garrison troops and expenses, and also added that several families of the Japanese country would send young children to Daming to learn advanced knowledge and ideas.

Later, North Korea, Ryukyu and other countries also sent people over. Today, there are at least fifty or sixty people.

These people also brought their families and entourages, counting at least a few hundred people, Honglu Temple must not be able to accommodate them, so they simply let them find a place to live, anyway, you are not short of money, you can buy and rent a house on your own.

On weekdays, apart from going to the Guozijian to study regularly, their freedom is not restricted, and they can move around the capital as they please.

"You mean, these are the people who hold Caijiagou stock?"

"These descendants of the family from the vassal state are only some, and some are said to be...officials!"

"Officials? Who are they?"

Zhu Qizhen frowned. He did not prohibit officials from investing in stocks, but if most of the people holding a certain stock were officials, things would become strange.

"I don't know about it for the time being. I only know that the prefect of Yongping is one of them. There are still many people who don't show up. They send servants or relatives to buy them. It is said that some of them are senior officials in the court."

Having said that, Zhu Qizhen gradually understood, no wonder this stock soared, it turned out that these people were behind it.

To put it bluntly, whoever buys a stock hopes to soar all the way.

It's just that most people can only wait for the news and cannot really control the stock price trend.

However, it would be different if you were an official of the imperial court and the son of a vassal state.

You can use your status to create momentum, and even spread some false news.

And those princes, although they have no power, they are rich!
They can completely use silver to raise the price of the stock one by one.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly realized that what he was most worried about had finally happened.

The establishment of the stock exchange is to obtain private funds and do things well.

Now some people are using this pretense to make money with money to cash in a large amount of gold and silver, and even resort to fraud to disrupt the market.

It seems that the market should be rectified!

Early the next morning, before the news from Jin Yiwei came, Chen Rong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, dragged Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, into the palace in a hurry.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "What's the matter with the two Qing families?"

After the two saluted, Chen Rong hurriedly said: "I heard that the emperor is investigating Caijiagou Mining?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly, and said: "Chen Qing's family is very well informed!"

Chen Rong didn't care about the deep meaning in these words, and continued: "Reporting to the emperor, I think it's not possible. This investigation is the same as the railway bureau for Caijiagou Mining. Why does the railway bureau work in a down-to-earth manner? What about the silver in the listed circle? If minerals are discovered, everyone is not encouraged to mine them, but monitored instead, and I am afraid that from now on, no one will be willing to mine again!"

It was obvious that he was in a hurry.

There's no way, I'm holding a lot of stocks in my hands, it's no wonder if I'm not in a hurry!
At this time, you want Jin Yiwei to investigate the Caijiagou Mining Industry. Once the news gets out, is it okay?

Everyone didn't think that Jin Yiwei was going to kill him, and the stock was afraid that it would directly fall to the bottom!

Zhu Qizhen listened thoughtfully, and then looked at Cao Nai: "What do you think Cao Qing?"

Cao Nai said lightly: "Back to the emperor, what I am worried about is that if Zha Caijiagou Mining is investigated, it will have a great impact on the one hand. Now, many people in and outside the capital have bought Zha Caijiagou Mining, and Many Confucian scholars who support the new policy have also expressed their support. Once a thorough investigation is conducted, public opinion will inevitably boil over. On the other hand, what Chen Shangshu said is right, if the mine is contracted to be investigated, who will dare to open the mine in the future?"

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Zhang Qing's words are indeed reasonable. In my opinion... how about this? Jin Yiwei mainly focuses on unannounced visits, so don't disturb them. If there is nothing wrong, that's the best. If there is something serious, then It’s not too late to intervene.”

Chen Rong suddenly hesitated: "This...I'm afraid..."

Zhu Qizhen continued: "I implement the new policy to create peace for all generations. The stocks are selling well, which shows that Ming Dynasty is developing rapidly. It's too late for me to be happy. What do you think?"

The two looked at each other and had to leave.

After coming out of Fengtian Hall, Chen Rong seemed a little unhappy, he quickly caught up with Cao Nai, and couldn't help but said, "Mr. Cao, what does the emperor mean?"

Cao Nai and Chen Rong were originally from the same hometown. Chen Rong's official career has been very smooth. Since he became a Jinshi in the Yongle period, he has made great progress all the way. Now he is an official of the Ministry of Officials. His future is limitless, so he seems a little arrogant, so he said unhappily: "I How do you know? Besides, what do you and I care so much about stocks?"

Chen Rong was bored and felt that he had lost face, so he said resentfully: "What I worry about is that once Jin Yiwei is really destroyed to investigate the matter of Caijiagou Mining, you are the chief assistant, and I am a heavenly official. What face is there, I am worthy of all the folks."

Cao Nai suddenly asked, "How many stocks did you buy?"

"I……"

Chen Rong was at a loss for words immediately, and said falteringly: "Why did Mr. Cao say that?"

"We are from Xingtai Prefecture, and the mine belongs to Yongping Prefecture, separated by thousands of miles, how do you talk about folks?"

"Isn't this...all Beizhili..."

"Humph!"

Cao Nai ignored him, walked away quickly with a cold face.

Chen Rong had no choice but to think for a moment, then turned around and left the palace, still thinking in his heart, this Cao Nai was afraid of trouble, he was not the one to do big things.

It's just that when he thought of the emperor's words, he was quite worried, so he stopped being on duty and went home directly.

Soon, someone came to the door.

This man's name is Tang Ziqing, and his ancestors are all high-ranking officials. He dare not say four generations and three princes, but he can be regarded as a disciple, and his old officials are all over the world.

However, in his generation, he did not have the life to be an official. Just as the imperial court was implementing the New Deal, he simply gave up scientific research and specialized in business.

Outsiders don't know that when the time comes, his other identity will be the biggest owner of Caijiagou Mining.

That He Sanshui is only the owner on the surface, but in fact, the relationship behind this mine is very strong.

The two greeted each other, Tang Ziqing said: "Brother Chen Xian called me, why?"

His father is Chen Rong's old leader, so the two have always been called brothers in private.

Chen Rong smiled wryly, "Is there nothing wrong with your mining business?"

Tang Ziqing was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Chen Rongdao: "It is the operation of all aspects, is there any obstacle?"

Tang Ziqing immediately became vigilant and asked, "Brother Chen Xian, why did you say such a thing, but there are villains at work?"

Chen Rong looked at Tang Ziqing's sincerity, and thought that Tang Jiageng, who had been a heirloom for more than ten generations, was a family of good deeds in Beizhili, so he said, "I just asked casually, your stock is very hot now. Afraid of arousing the suspicion of villains."

After Tang Ziqing heard this, he smiled instead: "With Brother Chen Xian in court, who would dare to do anything?"

Chen Rong just said earnestly: "Be careful, there is no harm."

Tang Ziqing heard something in the words, and wrote it down in his heart: "Brother Chen Xian, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention."

Only then did Chen Rong nod his head and said, "That's very good!"

"By the way, brother Chen Xian..."

Tang Ziqing smiled: "I was going to visit the door this time, and I have something to tell you."

Chen Rong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Ziqing smiled mysteriously: "After the issuance of the new shares, I still have some stocks in my hands. I thought to myself, these days, brother Chen Xian has been working hard for our mining industry, but he can't be in vain."

Chen Rong narrowed his eyes: "You and I are family friends, and we will always help when there is a need to help. My brother is too ignorant, and he will not be rewarded for nothing. Brother can't want these stocks."

"No, no, it's not a gift, but brother Xian... to buy shares."

"Buy shares?"

"Actually, the number is not much, only 20 shares. Brother Xian, if you want it, you might as well pay one tael per share according to the issue price, how about it?"

When Chen Rong heard this, he suddenly regained his spirits.

You know, the market price of Caijiagou Mining's stock is close to ten taels of silver per share.

This is equivalent to buying shares for one tael of silver, and making ten times the profit after changing hands.

20 taels immediately became 200 million taels!
Chen Rong coughed desperately: "This...isn't that good, for my brother...I still pay attention to reputation!"

After hearing this, Tang Ziqing raised his face: "Brother Xian, what did you say? What does it have to do with buying and selling stocks? Brother Xian pays the money, and I sell the shares. This is a business."

Seeing that the other party was hesitating, Tang Ziqing said again: "The court didn't stipulate that officials cannot buy stocks. Brother Xian is of course a man with two sleeves, but can't you buy mansions and fields if you become a heavenly official? You can buy them all, why can’t you buy stocks?”

Chen Rong was very entangled. From the very beginning, he didn't help in vain. When Caijiagou's stock was issued, he used internal channels to get [-] shares.

If the 20 shares are still considered as my normal investment income, then the [-] shares are obviously another matter...

Tang Ziqing smiled again, and said, "Furthermore, isn't Mr. Cao's son buying stocks with great fanfare? Even the chief ministers of the cabinet can buy them, so why can't the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

Chen Rong said with a smile on his face: "Brother, you don't know anything about stocks, how about this, I'll ask Shaojie tonight."

Shaojie, your son?

Tang Ziqing immediately understood, how can a father discuss things with his son?

In fact, this means that I, Chen Rong, am a person with a clean sleeve and don't see money in my eyes, so don't talk to me about this matter.

Just talk to my son!

Tang Ziqing smiled and said: "Well, tomorrow I will have a good talk with my nephew, one tael of silver per share, these 20 shares cost 20 silver, but I don't know if brother Xian's family has enough money, if not ..."

Chen Rong smiled, this is the money he picked up, 20 taels of silver bought shares, and he can sell 200 million taels of silver after changing hands, don't worry, there will be enough if there is not enough.

So he smiled and said: "Let Shaojie have a headache about this matter, I don't need to worry about it as a brother."

Tang Ziqing also laughed: "Brother Xian is an elegant man, he doesn't admire gold and silver, which is admirable."

"Come on, have some tea."

Chen Rong looked calm and calm, and picked up the teacup.

At this moment, in fact, his mind began to become active.

20 shares, plus the 250 in my own hand, after reselling, it will be [-] million taels!

The speed of making money is outrageous!

Early the next morning, Tang Ziqing found Chen Rong's son, Chen Shaojie.

Of course, Chen Shaojie was already prepared, and the two quickly negotiated the transaction, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.

Although Tang Ziqing gave away these stocks for nothing, it was really painful, but the official position is the most important position in the world, and his status is not lower than that of a bachelor. If he can tie this person with Caijiagou stocks, no matter how much he spends Money is worth it too.

All family acquaintances are fake, real money is the most reliable!
