Chapter 1303: National Economy and People's Livelihood
Wang Bushi has arrived.
The Hanlins also followed.
The old Hanlin's face changed and his mouth twitched slightly.
What happened?
Many stocks are falling one after another, but only Siyang Commercial Bank is the only one, keeping rising.
This is clearly because large merchants are constantly selling other stocks, drawing capital, and then holding heavy positions on Siyang Commercial Bank.
As soon as many stocks were sold, the result... can be imagined and it was a terrible sight.
At the beginning, the market was stable, but later, some stocks began to be cut in half.
Fortunately, after the halving, the situation began to slowly stabilize.
But the old Hanlin was dumbfounded.
How long has it been...
But looking at the Siyang Commercial Bank, it has doubled directly, and it is still growing wildly according to this trend.
Who is it that keeps pushing up prices behind the scenes?
The young Hanlin Liu Jinshui could hardly believe his eyes, and he kept pressing his fingers.
He was crazily calculating how many Siyang Commercial Banks he bought. How much are these stocks worth now, but every time, he reluctantly calculated that a new price appeared again.
The old Hanlin couldn't help but feel angry: "There is no good, this is definitely... it must be someone who is behind the scenes. This... this... don't panic. This is a technical adjustment. Siyang Commercial Bank has made such a high push, and someone deliberately pushes it up. There is no big favorable situation. This is clearly... it is clear..."
Wang Bushi turned a deaf ear to all this. He just looked up and stared at the large plate on the wall.
At this time, he had confirmed that Liu Wenshan had succeeded.
Wang Bushi was in a very complicated mood.
Of course, his profits can increase countless times.
But... Compared with Liu Wenshan, it is really a witch.
Then Liu Wenshan... may not be smarter than himself, but... he became a disciple of Fang Jifan. Not only was he inspired by Duke Qi to write a theory of wealth, but he was also sent to Franji by Duke Qi.
What a great opportunity and what a great contribution this is.
If I had gotten on the boat, or if I was Liu Wenshan, I would have done nothing worse than him.
But it was destined that Liu Wenshan wanted to go down in history, but he... was just a rich man after all.
Life is short for decades, and Wang Bushi will not be remembered, but Liu Wenshan can live in history forever.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
The encounters in life are really different. After all, Wang Bushi is a traditional scholar. Although he also loves money, he has read the Four Books and Five Classics too much, and deep down he desires great achievements?
Now... looking at Liu Wenshan who was walking with me like this... I was not happy deep in my heart, but some... I was a little lost.
He took off his sunglasses and couldn't help but wipe his eyes.
On the side, Liu Jinshui said in surprise: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang... has risen, it has risen...Mr. Wang, why are you crying? Could it be that you crying with joy?"
Liu Jinshui also wanted to cry. She was so happy. She had never been so happy before. She had earned so much money in just a short time.
It should be not just Liu Jinshui who wants to cry, but everyone who buys Siyang Store wants to cry.
Now you make a lot of money.
However, Wang Bushi did not answer Liu Jinshui immediately, but put on his sunglasses again, bit his lip gently, and then spoke.
"Just lamenting that my fate is ill-fated and that my fate is a mess, hey..."
His voice was tired and hoarse, his expression was faint, without any joy.
"Why……"
After sighing a few times, he shook his head at Liu Jinshui.
The Hanlins who followed Wang Bushi to buy Siyang Commercial Store were all smiling happily and surrounded them, looking extremely attentive, but after hearing Wang Bushi's words, they were all surprised, and some people's smiles gradually disappeared: "What Mr. Wang means, now he will stop when he sees the opportunity. Siyang Commercial Store has reached its peak now, so we have to sell it quickly?"
When Wang Bushi saw a group of excited people, he felt an indescribable fatigue in his heart. He shook his head at them with a tired look on his face and said lightly: "No, this is just the beginning."
As he said that, with his hands behind his back, he no longer had much interest in the market, so he turned around and left.
Many people wanted to keep asking for advice around him, but they couldn't bear to leave the market, but they had to watch Wang Bushi go against the crowd. Finally, they disappeared into the enthusiastic crowd, leaving behind a lonely back.
Old Hanlin was still jumping, very unwilling to accept it.
He had an idea and wanted to sell the stocks in his hands, but found that he could not sell them because panic selling was imminent. The more he sold, the more he promoted the decline.
On the other hand, Siyang Commercial Bank is still full of red, just like a pillar of the sky.
Listening to the excited shouts of Liu Jinshui and others, Old Hanlin was a little confused. He really couldn't believe this fact, so he murmured to comfort himself.
"This is someone who operates behind the scenes. Without favorable support, it will definitely fall."
…………
Emperor Hongzhi was promoted to Fengtian Hall early in the morning.
Everyone from the cabinet and departments came.
What is discussed is the latest whip tax law.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qianren and others, as well as the ministers of various ministries, such as Ouyang Zhi, Ma Wensheng, Zhang Sheng, etc., were all given seats.
Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao was also called. Such an important national strategy is good for the prince to listen to it.
Fang Jifan opened a new policy, and many tax laws were drafted by Fang Jifan's disciples. Fang Jifan brought them in early in the morning, but Fang Jifan obviously looked tired and yawned every now and then, as if he hadn't had enough sleep.
This attracted many people's attention.
Fang Jifan seemed to be tactful, and he looked apologetic, and squeezed out a faint smile at everyone: "I read the book last night, and it was the third update."
Liu Jian was a little annoyed. This guy's yawn interrupted himself several times.
Liu Jian stroked his beard, stared at Fang Jifan, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what book I read?"
Fang Jifan thought about it and then replied with a smile.
"The Four Books and Five Classics, and there are also Zizhi Tongjian."
Liu Jian: “…”
It seems that there is no problem, and this answer is very appropriate.
Unable to find out the problem, Liu Jian had to stop quarreling with Fang Jifan, but continued to report.
"The old minister sent the constitution that His Majesty had previously decided to the governing officials of various departments and local governments. The feedback was uneven... Some thought it was so good, while others had doubts..."
Emperor Hongzhi thoughtful, his eyes wandered around everyone, and finally frowned and said, "I also saw their memorials a few days ago. It is indeed quite controversial. Ouyang Qing's family..."
Emperor Hongzhi said, unable to help looking at Ouyang Zhi.
Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment: "I am here."
Emperor Hongzhi stared at him, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"What do you think of Ouyang Qing's family?"
Ouyang Zhi fell into thinking.
This is what Emperor Hongzhi admires most.
Many people like to show off. When the emperor asked, he was afraid that the emperor would not know that he was knowledgeable and rushed to answer any questions. However, Ouyang Zhi was the old god, and he was not slow.
Ouyang Zhi pondered.
"Your Majesty, the situations in different places are different, so it cannot be achieved overnight. This time, the new tax will be extended to the world, and the court has already developed a general direction. Now, it is to adjust according to different regions. I think that the imperial envoy should be widely dispatched to investigate in various places. A few days ago, when I was in Baoding, I heard that Your Majesty set up a Statistics Department. Why not let the Statistics Department send personnel to the local people's conditions and data in all aspects as the Imperial Envoy, and then make a decision. This is absolutely impossible to come. Once a chaos occurs, the people will suffer. To implement the new policy, you need to be bold and even more courageous. This is because if you are not determined enough, you will definitely be shaken. If you shake too much, you will not be able to do it."
Ouyang Zhi paused, and then continued: "But the promotion of the new policy requires a look back and forth, and to wait and see, and to think slowly. It is even more necessary to walk on thin ice. It must not be taken for granted, nor should it be generalized."
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up.
Yes, Statistics Department.
Almost, Emperor Hongzhi forgot the Statistics Department.
Emperor Hongzhi pointed at Ouyang Zhi with a smile.
"What you said is very consistent with my heart. I still think that you have achieved great success in promoting the new policy in Baoding, and you still think that you are willing to implement the new tax system immediately. It turns out that you are so safe."
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian and asked Liu Jian for his opinion: "Does the Liu Qing family think it is feasible?"
Liu Jian also agreed with Ouyang Zhi's method and couldn't help but speak.
"It's so good, this is the words of a certain country." He paused for a while and then added.
"The old minister thought that we could follow this prescription, and the court would think about it again, and the officials would discuss it again. On the other hand, the Statistics Department appointed personnel to various places to conduct another detailed investigation. The provincial governing and envoy departments, as well as various prefectures and counties, also let them gather their ideas and show more about the local people's sentiments. This is a century-old plan and cannot be rushed."
Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I am still anxious. I always thought that this is beneficial, so I hope to push the world... Now it seems that I am still a bit aggressive."
He looked at Fang Jifan in a sideways eyes, and when he saw Fang Jifan's tired look, he coughed.
Fang Jifan immediately cheered up and said loudly: "My emperor is wise, long live my emperor."
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "..."
Shake his head and smile bitterly.
As he was speaking, Xiao Jing hurriedly entered the hall: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and glanced at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing was worshipped: "Your Majesty, Tianjin Guards sent a express report saying that a fleet was back. This time the fleet was Siyang Trading Company. They came back from Franc."
Emperor Hongzhi was shocked: "Are you back?"
Xiao Jing said excitedly: "It's not just coming back, but this arrival in Hong Kong has already shocked Tianjin Wei. They brought back countless gold and silver, and it is said that gold and silver have been piled up into mountains, one after another, endless, and it is daunting to see."
