    Emperor Hongzhi was speechless after hearing what the merchant said.

    But he still didn¡¯t quite understand. Just as he was wondering, he saw the businessman looking at him with a look of disgust on his face, as if he was eager to buy stocks.

    Xiao Jing was about to scold this merchant when he saw his boldness.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "I do have some shares here. How about selling you a few thousand shares?"

    Suddenly, the merchant's eyes lit up and his feet stopped moving. Then he glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and suddenly smiled.

    Nowadays, whenever someone sells stocks, he is his uncle, and he is still dear to him.

    The merchant immediately said: "Brother"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at the noisy scene and pulled him aside. From the corner, he saw that the exchange was still crowded with people, which was terrifying. People were shouting hysterically about the rising prices. People in the exchange could not help but  Do your best to maintain order.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "I still don't understand whywhy the stock price will skyrocket when the prince ascends the throne. Please enlighten me."

    The merchant took one look at Emperor Hongzhi and felt that Emperor Hongzhi was really a bit 'two'.

    Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was willing to sell his shares, he cheered up: "This matter is not simple. Do you know what it was like before there was no Zhenguo government? Maybe you were not from Beijing before, so let's not  It is said that there was no new city, no exchange, and no New Deal in Baoding, so ordinary merchants could not do business at that time."

    "Can't we make a deal?" Emperor Hongzhi asked in surprise, frowning subconsciously, he still couldn't understand.

    The merchant said: "How can it be so easy to do business? Think about it. A truck of goods has to go from the capital to Nanjing. How many checkpoints do you need to pass along the way? If you take the waterway, how many states and counties need to deal with the waterways along the way?  Inspection Department. In many places, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. When you cross the border, if you meet someone who is easy to talk to, just give him a little money. But if you meet someone who is ruthless, whether you still have the goods is another matter. You can't say for sure.  , and there will be a lawsuit. Therefore, those who can do business are all at the top"

    He pointed at the smallpox.

    Emperor Hongzhi understood this clearly, and he said in surprise: "The court"

    "Yes, the royal relatives in the court, as well as the civil and military ministers, only their domestic slaves can hold their name cards and escort the goods when they go out, and the checkpoints and states and counties along the way will not be in trouble.  "

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face suddenly turned pale.

    In fact, when he first came to the throne, he had the idea of ??taxing merchants because the treasury was empty. This did not mean that the court did not collect taxes from merchants, but that Emperor Hongzhi discovered that these merchants were all as rich as the country, but the court could levy taxes on them.  The taxes that came were pitifully small, but immediately, the ministers stopped him. Some people shouted excitedly that the emperor should not compete with the people for profit, while others told the emperor with serious words that if he imposed taxes, he might suffer huge consequences.  disaster.

    And now Emperor Hongzhi finally understands.

    In fact, there were no so-called merchants in the past, and the names of merchants were all fake. In fact, if you really want to do business, if you manage it, it may not be enough to invest all your wealth. This is just to have no grievances or enmities with others.  , if the business you do competes with others, it may be that you are dead.

    Seeing Emperor Hongzhi's surprised look, the merchants only said that Emperor Hongzhi had never seen the world, smiled, and continued: "But the Zhenguo Mansion is here. In order to encourage merchants to transship, the Zhenguo Mansion has set up personnel everywhere to investigate this checkpoint.  If you make things difficult for merchants, whenever something like this happens, report it to the government immediately, and His Highness the Prince will directly send a knife to those daring guys, which can scare them to death in just a moment."

    "In this way, goods can be circulated, and merchants can do business without unnecessary risks. Of course these are just one of them. There are so many businesses in Beijing, which one was not brought up by Xishan. Since then,  Everyone follows His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Qi to get a share of the pie. There are merchants of all kinds in Beijing, including Gan merchants, Fujian merchants, Cantonese merchants, and even Hu merchants, but you know, there are  A Xishan merchant? This Xishan merchant does not mean Xishan¡¯s own business. Most of these Xishan merchants were the large number of refugees that the Crown Prince and Duke of Qi recruited and accommodated in Xishan. These refugees were taught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke of Qi to read.  They cultivated the land and took care of them. In Xishan, they were the first to see the world and the benefits of doing business, so they became independent and did business everywhere. The number of refugees recruited by Xishan was only tens of thousands, but merchants with such backgrounds were extremely rare.  There are thousands of them, and they are all doing business. When they talk about their place of origin, they never mention their place of origin. They only say that they are from Xishan.Xishan business is done.  "

    "Think about it, these refugees were suffering from hunger and cold at the beginning and could not even eat. Some of them were illiterate and almost starved to death. However, because of the shelter of the prince and the Duke of Qi, land was given to them in Xishan.  They opened up the land and had people teach them how to read, write, and teach doctrines. From then on, they soared into the sky, not to mention becoming people above others, but they were wealthy. Among all the merchants in the world, they were among the other merchants from Jiangxi and Jiangxi.  Compared with Fujian merchants, Shanxi merchant gangs and Shandong merchant gangs, their strength and quantity cannot be underestimated."

    "Look, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Qi are the Gods of Wealth. Anyone who gets involved with them will surely make a fortune."

    Emperor Hongzhi didn¡¯t knowthat there was such a thing as the Xishan Merchant Gang in this world.

    In his impression, he thought there was only Xishan Jianye and Xishan Bank.

    And these Xishan refugees who broke away from the Xishan system and went out to do business may be because they are closer to the water, or they have received newer information than others. In addition, they are refugees themselves and are willing to endure hardships and hard work Many conditions have added  It is understandable that he got up and became successful quickly.

    "Over the years, those of us who do business have benefited from the New Deal and made a lot of money, but before the Hongzhi Dynasty, how could merchants have a good life?  Earning money, but never feeling at ease in my heart Even though everyone dares to wear silk and satin now, this is just a superficial appearance, because no one can predict when something will happen in this court.  The year before last, wasn't Duke Qi almost assassinated? And His Highness the Crown Prince Aren't there many people in the community who say that the Crown Prince doesn't look like a king?"

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned, but suddenly found that this businessman, who was still very indifferent just now, had red eyes.

    The merchant wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, and immediately sighed with emotion: "Hey To be honest, before, the more money I earned, the less secure I felt. I couldn't sleep all night long. Throughout the ages, people like us have been like this.  People will not end well. The officers and soldiers are here to extort money. The thieves are here to plunder. If there is any slight disturbance, we will be the first to die. Those rumors that the prince does not look like a king,  How did it come out? Some people hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to succeed to the throne, and it is best that the Crown Prince becomes the deposed prince. Why? Some people are jealous, and some people can't stand it, but anyone who dares to spread such words will definitely  They are not the usual good people, maybe those people are still in the court."

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face became colder and colder.

    He squinted his eyes, and there was something dark in the depths of his eyes.

    He remained silent and continued to listen carefully to what the merchant said.

    Xiao Jing was on the side, but he was frightened when he heard this. This merchant knew too much!  He dared to say things that even the factory guards dared not say nonsense!

    The merchant then continued: "Now, the old emperor has abdicated and the new emperor has ascended the throne. Our prince is in his prime, and he may rule the world for decades in the future. His ascension to the throne let's just say a villain.  The villain's heart is at ease. We business people don't dare to believe anyone's words, but there are only two people in the world. I believe everything they say. Now the prince has become the emperor.  , the Duke of Qi has entered the cabinet, and our good days are coming. To be honest, which merchant in Beijing does not appear to be doing business, but actually hides a large sum of money? Don't they know this?  When you take out the money, you can make money and make money? No, they know this truth better than anyone else, but they don't dare to sleep without hiding a sum of money, for fear that one day the court will change the rules, and everyone will  Guys will die without a burial place, but now finally we don¡¯t have to worry. With the prince and Duke of Qi, we can do business boldly and confidently. The new policy in the future is bound to increase a lot of demand. In addition, there are  The private money hidden by so many people just needs to be taken out. If you don¡¯t make money, how can you do business Haha"

    As he said that, the merchant laughed, as if his daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law after many years, and said: "You see, this exchange is like this. We all have confidence in His Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Qi. When they take over, we will  We can make a fortune together. This workshop should be expanded if it needs to be expanded, and if it should be invested, it should be invested. To be honest, I have been doing business for so many years, and I am not worried about not having the means to make money. There are so many business opportunities in this market."

    Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment and said: "But the current emperor, people say he is a holy king"

    The merchant thought for a while and said: "The current emperor is a good emperor, but he is too kind. Although he has many good governance, he always looks forward and backward Ha you can't say this, you can't say this, after saying this, you have to  Beheaded. Forget it, I¡¯d better keep your stock for myself. To be honest, this stock will definitely skyrocket and I will make money. I won¡¯t buy your stock either. Goodbye, goodbye."

    Looking at Emperor Hongzhi's "silly" look, the merchant seemed unable to bear to add insult to injury, so he simply waved his hand and immediately squeezed into the crowd.

    ??????????????????????????????????

    Emperor Hongzhi stood there and murmured softly.

    He has had this idea before. Of course, this is a worry as a father.

    But now it seems there seem to be many people fanning the flames behind the scenes.
