Chapter 458

After Yun Zongzhou left, Ye Xingyuan stayed alone in Houya and laughed. The emergence of futures trading was indeed the same as his expectations. It was precisely because of the vigorous development of the money shop that someone came up with such an idea and put it into practice. With the credit of the money shop and the big grain merchants, they all wanted to enter the market together.

If there is no money house, even if it is a big grain merchant with a reputation and reliability, ordinary people will not buy him a piece of paper with real money. After having a money house, this grain loan contract was endorsed by the grain merchant and the money house. The people felt that although the money was paid out, there was a money house, and only paper was exchanged for paper, which made the psychological barriers much smaller.

The derivation and development of financial instruments has its own ladder and channels for evolution. It is precisely because Ye Xingyuan introduced the modern banking industry and bookkeeping method that encouraged the birth of the futures market. Ye Xingyuan originally wanted to start organizing securities and futures trading markets, but he did not expect that he was one step slower and spontaneously formed in Xingzhou, Jiangdong, the most prosperous place of contemporary business.

"This is interesting." Ye Xingyuan knew that the saints did not speak of profit. This market that aims to make profits was not the scope of research on saints' knowledge. Is it a small gap in the prosperity of saints in the three thousand years of saints?

He didn't know what this would develop in the end, but he could only say that he was full of expectations for this premature freak.

Ye Xingyuan was walking in the back yamen, thinking about the next step. When he was a little clue, Lu Shiyi Niang suddenly ran over in panic and reported to him: "Sir, the house of Qianhu House in Jiangdong is here, is it indicating that he wants to see you?"

"Fang Qianhu?" Ye Xingyuan was stunned and immediately realized that Lu Shiyi Niang was so nervous that Fang Qianhu was not a military figure, but was affiliated with the same organization as their Jinyiwei.

Although Ye Xingyuan was appointed as a secret servant of the Jinyiwei, it has almost become an open secret now. The big bosses in the court know that he still has this identity. Perhaps the officials of Xingzhou Prefecture have heard of it, but everyone pretended not to know it and deliberately did not mention it.

Now that the Jinyiwei Qianhu is visiting, isn’t that the identity is revealed?

Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Then let me change my clothes and go out to greet me."

The Jinyiwei Qianhu is also a fifth-rank official, and he is the same as the prefect of Xingzhou, but if the Jinyiwei Qianhu wants to visit a prefect who has no other identities, I am afraid that the other party will be scared. You should know that the Jinyiwei is the late emperor who set up a supervisory officer, and he wants to come to him, which basically means that you have committed a crime.

Fortunately, Ye Xingyuan himself is also a member of the system, so he will not be frightened by this unnecessary fear.

"No need." Lu Shiyi Niang hurriedly stopped him, "Fang Qianhu came in a miserable manner, and he was embarrassed. Maybe he had something to ask for your help."

This woman has a good ability to observe words and expressions, and of course she can see clearly, but her heart is full of suspicion. Ye Xingyuan was stunned. What could the Jinyiwei Qianhu come to ask for help from her? Could it be that something big happened to the Qianhukou in Jiangdong?

There are only fourteen thousand households in the Jinyiwei, which means there are only fourteen thousand households in actual positions. They have vast powers and high status, and there are almost no difficult things that cannot be solved in the local area.

Ye Xingyuan pondered for a while and nodded, "Then please invite Lord Fang in and try not to let others discover it."

Lu Shiyi Niang took the order and then led a man in black who was tall, thin and slender like a bamboo pole. The man looked arrogant, with narrow eyes but murderous aura. It was obvious that he was a big man who had seen life and death. Ye Xingyuan knew that this was Fang Qianhu. In theory, he was still his boss, but from the perspective of the position of prefect, both parties were at the same level, so he didn't know how to treat him.

Ye Xingyuan had no choice but to get up and bow, and smiled and said, "My Lord Fang is here, I wonder what you can do to teach me?"

Fang Qianhu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ye doesn't have to be too polite. This time he came here because he actually wanted to ask Lord Ye for help."

Ask for help? What difficulties can you have with a thousand households of Jinyiwei? Can you get a local civil servant?

Ye Xingyuan frowned and said, "Has sir been in Shizhou? The people in Shizhou are now stable, so I wonder if there is anything to ask the officials to help me?"

The richest person in Jiangdong Province is Xingzhou Prefecture, but the provincial capital is Shizhou to the south. Shizhou was originally the ancient capital of the previous dynasty. Although it has declined in recent years, it can be said to be safe. I have never heard of any changes. What is there to ask for help from thousands of houses?

Maybe he thought he was a colleague of the Jinyiwei, Fang Qianhu was straightforward and did not beat around the bush and asked, "Do you know about Hua Shigang?"

Ye Xingyuan was shocked and said, "Is it possible that the Jinyiwei is responsible for the matter of Hua Shigang now?"

Hua Shigang was originally a major event in Jiangdong, which was the filial piety given to the emperor by the local people. Ye Xingyuan first entered Beijing and met Li Cheng. When Mrs. Li was Li Cheng escorting Hua Shigang into Beijing. This was usually the responsibility of the local army. How could he turn around and have to do with the Jinyiwei and even alarm the Jinyiwei thousands of households?

Fang Qianhu smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. In recent years, bandits have been rampant, and the local garrisons are unbearable. They have transported Hua Shigang to Kyoto several times and were robbed. So our commander of the Jinyiwei, Lord Hong, boasted about Haikou and took this matter down."

It turned out that the commander was going to take the blame, Ye Xingyuan smiled helplessly. Hong Chengfeng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was not a simple figure. He had great magical powers and ruthless methods. He should have been able to build a career like his predecessors. Unfortunately, the admiral of the Dongchang Factory, Jiang Baoshan, has risen strongly in the past ten years, stolen more than half of the Jinyiwei's limelight.

More importantly, Emperor Longping's trust in the Jinyiwei was not as good as before. He would rather leave many things to the East Factory. The Jinyiwei just cooperated. Since Hong Chengfeng had great ambitions, how could he be married? He hollowed out his mind to win the emperor's favor.

Hua Shigang was originally to please the emperor. After being robbed several times in a row, Emperor Longping was furious. Hong Chengfeng felt that the opportunity had come, so he said that the Jinyiwei was all elite and would be able to do the job and took the job over.

As the commander, he certainly would not escort himself. Of course, this matter happened to Qianhu House in Jiangdong, and Qianhu House was the first responsible person.

"Can you say that under the protection of the Jinyiwei, the Hua Shi Gang can still be robbed?" Ye Xingyuan was a little disbelief.

Others don’t know the energy of the Jinyiwei, but Ye Xingyuan is the one who knows the best. First of all, not to mention the masters of the Jinyiwei, the most important thing is that the Jinyiwei acts secretly, and transporting the flower stone gang must be broken into pieces. Perhaps others have no idea and have arrived in Beijing. Who can rob him?

Fang Qianhu's face became even more awkward and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, the Jinyiwei lost Hua Shigang outside Xingzhou City, so he came to ask for help from the Lord."

What? Ye Xingyuan frowned and asked again: "Do you know who did it?"

Fang Qianhu shook his head dejectedly, "Some people suspected that it seemed to be a demon gang, and some people suspected that it was Wang Niqiu, but it was impossible to conclude."

Wang Niqiu Ye Xingyuan had met him once, and remembered the elusive thief. If this person intentionally robbed him, he would be really hard to guard against, but there would be no news at all?

Now that the Jinyiwei lost Hua Shigang outside Xingzhou City, what's the use of coming to find him, the prefect? ​​Even if the whole city is in large search, it may not be as effective as the Jinyiwei. Moreover, Ye Xingyuan was just a new arrival and was far from under control of Xingzhou Prefecture, and it was even more difficult to help.

He thought for a while and asked again: "Fang Qianhu, don't worry. Since you come to me to help me, let's explain the causes and consequences in detail to see what this official can do."

Fang Qianhu was in a state of dismay, but I still remember to come to Ye Xingyuan for help. I guess there was some clue. This is probably not as simple as the headless theft case.

"Mr. Ye is indeed not the same." A bright color flashed in Fang Qianhu's eyes, "I would have discussed it with the master..."

I hadn't come to Xingzhou a few days ago, and even if you want to discuss it, there was no need to discuss it. Ye Xingyuan resisted the desire to complain and asked about the details of the house and Qianhu.

Flower and stone gang is a gift from the local government to the emperor, and this expenditure belongs to the local government. Therefore, local officials in Shizhou always have to try their best to plunder the wealth and paste in order to give more outstanding tributes to Emperor Longping every year.

Although Jiangnan has not been a chaotic in recent years, wars have spread everywhere, which has always affected people's livelihood. No good goods can be found in the local area. They can only spend money to subsidize procurement, and the main channel of procurement is overseas trade.

Emperor Longping liked the glazed glass, clocks and other items made by overseas barbarians. A few years ago, he rewarded local officials in Shizhou, and this villain who was flattering and slapping horses rose to prominence.

It is precisely because of this that Hong Chengfeng fell in love with the resurrected Hua Shigang. It is precisely because of this that Hua Shigang was repeatedly robbed, which aroused Emperor Longping's anger.

"So that's it." Ye Xingyuan nodded slightly and sighed in his heart. Although Xuanyuan World is blessed by the supernatural powers of saints, the general trend of the world's development has not changed much. Overseas barbarians began to climb the tree of science and technology, so there are naturally many gadgets with strange and lewd tricks. I didn't expect that Emperor Longping had fallen in love with these things in recent years.

Ye Xingyuan suddenly remembered that when he met Emperor Longping, he saw him holding an amber snuff bottle and had a gold pocket watch on his sleeve. Now that he thought, it should be foreign goods paid by the sea trade.

"It's true." Fang Qianhu gritted his teeth and finally told him, "In order to please His Majesty, this time, Hua Shigang was actually paid out of his own pocket and bought a lot of good goods."

This makes it understand why Fang Qianhu was so upset that he threw away his boss’s things. This is not as simple as ordinary conviction!

"This matter is helpless. I followed Lord Hong's order and found the Shen family in Jiangdong. I asked them to contact overseas merchants and ordered a batch of seafood and paid hundreds of thousands of taels." Fang Qianhu looked ugly. They took advantage of their actions. No one dared to cheat Jinyiwei's money.

When Ye Xingyuan heard the Shen family in Jiangdong, he looked cautious. Most of the affairs in Jiangdong would be related to these major families. No wonder Lu Tongzhi provided him with the official talisman. Even the thousand households of the Jinyiwei had to find a way to get on this line, which shows the power of the Shen family.

"I just didn't expect that Shen Huangqi was so cunning that I called him cheating!" Fang Qianhu shouted hatefully.
