Chapter 472

Ye Xingyuan made great efforts in Jiangnan, which hit the arrogance of the four major families, and the stock exchanges were booming. The big businessmen who were doing business saw the cheaper, and they also came to the exchanges to request the stocks to be "listed".

Now that private funds have been plundered twice by Liangdai and Yuanyang Co., Ltd., there is actually not much left, and it is difficult for new stocks to create miracles. However, Ye Xingyuan still designed fine and rigorous listing regulations so that companies can find channels for financing.

Due to strict control, there are not many new stocks listed every month. The people and the gentry feel that they have new investment options and capital flows are gradually stabilizing. The stock price of the Ocean Fleet is stable at thirty taels of silver per share, and sometimes it will fall slightly, but when Hu Jiuniang's fleet returns to the port, it will inevitably surge.

When Ye Xingyuan received the secret order from Emperor Longping from the Jinyiwei, he was attending a new stock listing ribbon-cutting ceremony. Unexpectedly, Emperor Longping was even more concerned about him after seven years of going out.

He returned to the government office, changed his clothes, and summoned Concubine Qing to discuss, conveyed Emperor Longping's meaning, and said with a wry smile: "I also want to go back to Beijing, but now the battle between dragons and tigers in the capital is not the best time."

Qingfei smiled and said, "There are a lot of things happening everywhere recently, and the finances in the court are in a tight position. The emperor must have heard of your ability to turn stones into gold. He wants you to go back to save the situation."

Ye Xingyuan shook his head and said, "Now that the administration is so relaxed, even if I have any ideas, how can I continue to promote it in the court? At the time of Qiongguan, many officials came to inspect, saying that they were planning to imitate and open a few special zones. Now, several years have passed, and I have not heard of any news."

When Xingzhou opened a stock exchange, the Ministry of Revenue immediately sent someone to study, but they did not want to open an exchange in the capital to absorb private funds across the country, but wanted to include Xingzhou's stock exchange in supervision.

With this idea, how can you do good things?

Ye Xingyuan was extremely disappointed with the bureaucrats of this dynasty. They were unable to adapt to the situation after reading books. Even if he brought out so many new things, they could only bloom all over the place and could not be popularized at all.

Even if Emperor Longping really had a way to recall Ye Xingyuan back to the capital, under the constraints of so many people and so many forces, Ye Xingyuan's energy would inevitably be dispersed and he would not be able to accomplish anything big.

And from now on, Emperor Longping couldn't think of any good idea, and he had to think about it himself.

"This is not a good time to return to Beijing." Apart from the sinister court, Ye Xingyuan's goal of seeking a foreign mission has not been fully achieved. He has to obtain the last five virtue treasure in Zhong Qi's tomb, and then find the tomb of the saint and recover the spiritual bones, which is considered a great task.

Since he took the exam in the middle of the capital, met Mrs. Li, and obtained General Pei's sword, he has laid a goal in life. He seeks spiritual bones, practices the way of sages, crosses the limit of the first-class level, ascends to the heavenly palace, and becomes an immortal official.

To a certain extent, he was not very interested in low-level power struggles, but just to ascend, he had to work hard to fight in this turbid current.

He sighed and planned to reply to Emperor Longping. He expressed his appreciation for the emperor and was grateful to the ministers. When the third year of Jiangnan expired, he would definitely find a way to return to Beijing and serve the emperor.

Emperor Longping received his letter and Long Yan was very happy and gave many rewards in private.

Ye Xingyuan fired his first shot in the first year, and he had less constraints when he acted in Xingzhou. With a stock exchange, a grain loan crisis was silently eliminated. Local families who wanted to make a fortune had to show goodwill to him. This period of time was still as good as fish in water.

Although he expected that these local snakes would never give up so much, he was not afraid at all. It was just that soldiers came to block the enemy and water came to cover the enemy's land. Who would you be afraid of when you deal with the moves?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Xingyuan and Mrs. Li went to explore Zhong Qi's tomb in Xingzhou City.

Zhong Qi was a local. He was involved in the Wuyue battle for hegemony that day and was well-known. Locals respected this saint disciple very much. Every June, he would also worship his birthday. Everyone would eat cake balls and wear colorful patterns as a commemoration.

Ye Xingyuan was familiar with history books and knew about Zhong Qi's deeds. "He was loyal. When Wu attacked Yue, he changed his appearance and passed the five passes, and ran three thousand miles at night to meet the Emperor Zhou, seeking rescue, and then he solved the disaster of the destruction of the country.

Later, the king suspected him and sent him to Yue State to imprison him. He didn't care and took it calmly. Twenty years later, he sent troops to destroy Yue State and avenged his previous shame. It was really a model for his subordinates."

The history of Xuanyuan World is slightly different from the history known to Ye Xingyuan due to the appearance of saints and the demons on the outside. Especially during the active period of saints, it was almost unrecognizable.

However, the battle for power in the south of Wuyue still exists. Ye Xingyuan was in Yan Wuxie's posthumous world, and reincarnated for three lifetimes, and also realized the principle that the general trend remained unchanged.

Mrs. Li said: "Among the five virtues, Gao Hua is filial, Zi Yan is loyal, General Pei is brave, and Yan Wuxie is harmonious. Then Zhong Qi is the word "Jing".

He acted generously throughout his life, not happy with things or sad with himself. Even if he was imprisoned and no one believed in him, he could stick to his integrity. It is really admirable."

The saints and disciples all have noble sentiments, while Zhong Qi has achieved the point where others cannot do it, which is even more amazing.

His father and brother were killed by the king's belief in slander, but he did not betray the motherland, but just hid his name and studied hard. When the country was in danger, he stood up to save the country and the people.

After resolving the crisis, he was thrown out by the king as a scapegoat. He was still willing to accept it and waited for it later. When the new king succeeded to the throne, he finally returned to his hometown in his eighties and immediately sent troops to destroy the Yue Kingdom. This was his decisive and decisive behavior.

"I feel that it is not that easy to get the recognition of this Zhong Qi." Ye Xingyuan felt that the test of the saints and the disciples was actually getting more and more difficult. I don't know if it was because of the order of his choice, or it was a pure coincidence. Yan Wuxie's treasure was difficult, and Zhong Qi's treasure would have to take some twists and turns.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "How can you know if you don't go and try it?"

They tried three times in front of Yan Wuxie's tomb and went through three lifetimes before they finally got the other party's recognition. For Zhong Qi, even if he spent the same amount of effort, it would be fine.

She activated General Pei's treasure sword, and the blade buzzed and vibrated, hoping to open Zhong Qi's tomb with the resonance of the Five Virtues as before.

However, the grave in front of him was completely unresponsive, which was very different from usual.

"Strange!" Mrs. Li has opened three ancient tombs and all of them have been successful. According to the legacy left by her ancestors, this method will not be wrong. Why can't it work now?

She didn't give up and took out the other three treasures and tried them one by one, but in the end she had no results.

Ye Xingyuan frowned and said, "Can Zhong Qi's tomb be actually not here. This is just a club where future generations attach to it?"

This kind of thing is also normal. In ancient times, the chaotic times were long and the time was long. There was often no way to verify where the dead people were buried. Later, if the locals were to commemorate it, they might have built a fake tomb for them. After a long time, the fake became true, and later generations did not know whether it was true or false.

Ye Xingyuan had never encountered such a situation before exploring Gao Huajun's tomb, Zi Yan's tomb and Yan Wuxie's tomb. That was actually a kind of luck.

Mrs. Li was a little depressed, "If so, where should we find Zhong Qi's afterlife?"

The afterlife of these virtuous disciples are all related to their tombs. If Zhong Qi's tomb is not here at all, then the afterlife will be unable to find the last five virtue treasures.

She thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Impossible. The treasure of the Five Virtues is not without resonance. Zhong Qi's treasure must be in this tomb. But for some reason, he is not willing to open the entrance to the world after death for us."

Is it the time wrong or the person who came here wrong? Ye Xingyuan and Mrs. Li looked at each other in a look of rebuffet for the first time, but they were helpless.

After struggling until midnight, the resonance of the Five Virtues Treasures was still there, but the tomb did not open. The two had no choice but to return to the government office for the time being and wait for the next opportunity to come again.

Mrs. Li went to investigate what was special about Zhong Qi's tomb again. Ye Xingyuan thought about it for a few days, but couldn't think of the reason, so he could only put this matter temporarily.

After all, he has to stay in Jiangnan for more than two years and has a chance to try again. Moreover, the situation in Jiangdong is not very good now, so he has to share half of his spirit to face the riots in the south.

After the grain prices were flat, life in Xingzhou Prefecture gradually stabilized, and refugees from the south were properly resettled. Ye Xingyuan still adopted the old law and used labor instead of relief. Not only did there be no trouble, but it accelerated the infrastructure construction of Xingzhou Prefecture.

However, this temporary peace does not mean that chaos in the south is pacified. The war in Pinghai Province continues, and the demon invasion has already reached the city of Linping.

Pinghai Governor Liu Dakui held the city and could barely keep Linping, but he was unable to control the movements of the demon gang. Now the entire northern part of Linhai is poisoned by the demon gang.

Jiangdong Province is also in danger now. Who knows whether the demon gangs will continue to go north?

The location of Xingzhou Prefecture is at the junction of Jiangdong Province and Linping Province. It is rich, with convenient transportation and well-connected, and is different from Linping and Shizhou, which can be defended by danger. If the demon invades invade north, Xingzhou will be the first to be affected.

Most people disagree because the demon band has never entered Jiangdong Province. In their opinion, this is the tacit understanding between the demon band and the court. If the demon band dares to step beyond the thunder, the court army will inevitably be strongly wiped out.

It is precisely because of such a strange self-confidence that it is obviously a fight of one or two hundred miles away, but Xingzhou Prefecture is still prosperous and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, without any panic.

Ye Xingyuan had to admire their courage. As the prefect of a province, he could not be so arrogant.
