The Hubu Yamen and Shangshu Yamen are currently conducting the eighteenth round of negotiations regarding the future shipping Yamen.
The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who usually pride themselves on being technical bureaucrats, have finally seen what real technology is.
The negotiation team sent by Royal Shipping is familiar with every imperial decree and adheres to every detail. It is so rigorous that it is maddening.
Rounds of arduous negotiations have been going on since the beginning of the year until the middle of the year, and an agreement is still far away.
This made Mr. Gao Ge extremely angry. He had already cursed Zhang Shouzhi, the transfer minister, twice.
Zhang Shouzhi is in trouble. Who makes Royal Shipping's backstage so tough that even the minister can't afford to offend him?
This ninth generation grandson of the right prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty was busy with ancient affairs, so he had no choice but to go into battle in person to negotiate with the Royal Shipping Company.
In order to be reciprocal, Zhao Hao had no choice but to go to the Hubu Yamen despite the scorching heat to chat with Zhang Butang.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, they sat down at both ends of the negotiation table. Officials from the Ministry of Revenue presented the thick draft to Zhang Shouzhi.
"Mr. Zhao, we must finish all sixty items of Article 10 today and try to sign the contract this month." Zhang Butang first set the tone for today's negotiations and said: "Yuan Weng has a ten-day deadline. We can¡¯t delay it.¡±
Zhao Hao gently shook the folding fan and said unmoved: "There are still fifty items, nine hundred and eighty items, and we can't finish them even if we don't sleep for ten days. Bu Tang, please try to be more accommodating with Yuan Weng."
Zhu Shimao, who was beside him, also tilted his head and said: "That's right, sharpening the knife will not miss the woodcutter. I am anxious to get it over with now, and there will be big problems in the future."
"I think you are just deliberately stalling for time!" After seeing what the department had said, these guys were still stubborn. Yang Wei, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was responsible for the specific negotiations, slapped the table angrily and said: "I would like to advise you. , stop dreaming! If the negotiation is not right this time, no one can go back. When will the signature be signed, when will the person be released!"
"Hey, are you asking the Overlord to take the bow?!" Zhu Shimao sneered and tilted his head to the other side.
"This is the only way to deal with you crazy people who have no law!" Yang Wei had served as a governor and led soldiers in Xuanfu and Shaanxi, so he was the most suitable to play bad guy. He said with murderous intent: "If you don't sign the document, I, the King of Heaven, will not even try to get you out, I said so!"
"Okay, what if I walk out? Are you just a bastard?!" Zhu Shimao was also irritated.
"What if you can't get out? Are you a crooked-necked bastard?" Yang Wei smiled.
"You!" Zhu Shimao rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Yang Wei. A group of household officials and Royal Shipping employees quickly separated the two.
The scene was very chaotic for a time. Only Zhang Budang and Mr. Zhao looked calm, one drinking tea and the other fanning.
But Zhang Shouzhi was not at peace in his heart. He knew Zhao Hao was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. He was able to withstand the pressure from himself and Gao Ge Lao and drag out the negotiations for several months.
¡°Oh, more than a few months? It has been a full year and a half since the senior leader of Gao Ge initiated this matter at the end of the year before last. There is no trace of the Maritime Yamen yet!
This kind of thing is unique among the resolute and resolute veterans of Gao Ge. The pressure on him, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, can be imagined, otherwise he would not have thought of physical persuasion.
In fact, Zhao Hao is also under a lot of pressure. Because the Dashilar Stock Exchange, which was established two years ago, had just experienced the thrilling April stock market crash. And the next round of avalanche will happen at any time
??~~
At the end of March and early April, the news that the imperial court was going to establish a shipping office and share the share of maritime trade equally with Royal Shipping finally spread throughout the capital, triggering investors¡¯ pessimism about the group¡¯s prospects and began to sell their stocks.
In just a few days, Xishan Group¡¯s share price fell from 35 taels per share to 18 taels, a brutal cut in half.
Even the Marco Polo Bridge Company was affected, with its stock price falling from 25 taels to 15 taels
The plunge of two large-cap stocks triggered a collective panic among investors, causing 36 small and medium-sized stocks on the Dashilar Stock Exchange to be trampled. Some were cut in half, and some were cut to the ankles, and blood flowed into rivers. It was too horrible to see.
History, especially economic history, will always remember this day. In April of the sixth year of Longqing, the first stock market crash occurred in the Ming Dynasty and even in the world.
Fortunately, when the stock market crash occurred, Zhao Hao happened to be in the capital. He immediately mobilized the group's deposits to protect the market. He and his godmother each took out two million taels and placed a large purchase order of twenty taels per share. Back and forth, the group and shareholders poured in tens of millions of taels, which managed to stabilize the stock price without triggering further avalanches.
At present, the share price of Xishan Group is floating around 20 taels, and the share price of Marco Polo Bridge Company has returned to 17 taels. Small and medium-sized stocks that were innocently implicated also got a break.He responded with a loud voice, then turned to Zhao Hao and said: "There is no other way, the only way is to use the ultimate trick."
"Use it, don't forget to do a skin test." Zhao Hao nodded, completing the authorization.
"Yeah." Li Shizhen nodded slightly, turned around and went into the inner room to prepare for the skin test.
"Doctor Wan," Wan Mi Zhai wanted to follow him in, but Gao Gong stopped him and asked in an old voice, "How about the holy bow?"
"It's very bad." Wan Mi Zhai said solemnly: "To put it simply, the previous treatment only removed the poison on the surface of the body, but did not remove the poison in the body. Now the poison has entered the brain, causing the emperor to become comatose."
As he spoke, the sobbing behind the bead curtain became more and more obvious.
"" Gao Gong's body swayed obviously, and Zhang Juzheng quickly supported him. Then Gao Ge Laoba looked at Wan Mi Zhai and asked, "Can you save the emperor with your method?"
"First of all, we need to do a skin test, and then we can inject it with suitable medicine." Wan Mi Zhai said slowly: "Secondly, the damage caused by this poison to the human brain is irreversible. So even if the patient can be rescued, it will not be possible to restore him to his original state, and there will be some lasting effects. There will be serious sequelae.¡±
"What about?" Gao Gong asked with difficulty.
"Dementia, paralysis, blindness, deafness" Every word Wan Mi Zhai said was like a heavy hammer hitting Gao Ge Lao's heart hard, making him want to vomit blood.
