Zhou Chaozong complained in his heart, "Are you embarrassed to be so charming to you? Everyone is a scholar after all."
Do you not need any necessary decency?
Yangzhou Shou Ma is famous all over the world. It buys the best girls from childhood and cultivates the ability to serve men in the hands of professional labor insurance. After more than ten years, when the girls reach adulthood, they can be sold at high prices, and the rich and wealthy can only covet them.
This time the Zhou family spent 800,000 and finally exchanged three of the best thin horses from the Yangzhou Madam.
Zhou Chaozong originally agreed to give women to the emperor, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't erase the scholar's reserve and shame.
"Uncle, I always feel inappropriate."
"What's inappropriate? I think it's very appropriate." Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Chaozong seriously and said: "Your Majesty is doing the national exercises. Without Your Majesty, how can we and other merchants be officials? You will never be as promising as you are now in your next life. Old Zhou family
It’s useless to pile up three feet of soil on the ancestor’s grave.”
Zhou Fang tidied up his official uniform. His official uniform was brand new, but because he often wore it without taking it off, it now looked a bit shabby.
"This outfit was given to me by you, but it was also given to me by your Majesty. As a human being, you must not forget your roots. Your Majesty is lustful. I have so many beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, but I cannot send them all to Your Majesty. It is already wrong for us as ministers to give one to you."
I feel sorry for Your Majesty to let Your Majesty enjoy the skinny horse."
Zhou Fang stood up as she spoke, knelt down seriously in the direction of the palace, then kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, very seriously. After standing up, she was still cautious, and then sat down.
"Chaozong, I kept His Majesty in my heart at all times. What's the use of just talking? I heard that we have a dog-hole minister in the imperial court. It makes sense to have an extra thin horse minister!"
Zhou Chaozong couldn't help it anymore: "Uncle, Lu Jun comes from a noble family, and we are just different from rich merchants. Your Majesty can tolerate him drilling a dog hole, but he may not be able to tolerate you giving away a thin horse!"
"How come your Majesty is like this? Your Majesty has a universal mind. According to what you said, can you still not tolerate me? It doesn't matter if you can't tolerate me now, but you have to persevere as a person, do you understand? Now, three thin horses are not enough. You can continue to send me later, and keep insisting.
Get down!" Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Chaozong with disgust, you are great at business, but not as a person.
Isn’t the emperor a human being?
Still naive and childish.
"That's it, you write the memorial. I will tell you about the thin horse prepared by your majesty. That is to say, I am not of a high level, otherwise I would have written it myself. I will write it now and I will watch over it!" Zhou Fang said.
Zhou Chaozong looked at Zhou Fang who looked serious and had no choice but to write the memorial in person. After writing, Zhou Fang took it away and sent it to the General Affairs Department in person. He left Zhou Chaozong's house without looking back.
The next day Zhou Chaozong went to work. As soon as he entered the door, a group of businessmen surrounded Zhou Chaozong.
"Sir, there is no bad news today. The country's bonds will not fall."
"I heard that His Majesty's northern tour did not go well. Is that true?"
"Is there any other news from the court? Will the court go to war with the Western Regions? The price of wool has been very good recently!"
These are people who speculate in government bonds. The exchange has been open for a while, and there are many people buying government bonds. There are now about 3,000 people.
There are too many rich people in the capital now, and everyone has no place to spend money. Suddenly seeing national bonds is like seeing a pretty young lady. A large number of businessmen are willing to invest, which makes the national bonds rise.
These businessmen even found that government bonds were a good thing, with stable and guaranteed income, but they could also earn more by speculating, and the exchange could allow private transactions in government bonds.
Nowadays, everyone is particularly concerned about news from the imperial court. The national debt is issued by the Ministry of Revenue. If the imperial court is good, the national debt will be stable. If the imperial court is not good, the national debt will be unstable.
Businessmen invented the gameplay themselves.
Zhou Chaozong remained silent, and whatever he said would cause these people to be startled and amplified countless times.
"Sir, please give me some news."
"My lord, let's go to the Flower House tonight!"
"Sir...hey!"
Seeing Zhou Chaozong quickly get behind the trading counter, many merchants felt helpless.
Zhou Chaozong is a piece of rubbish that doesn’t allow oil or salt to enter.
At this time, a businessman ran into the door and said, "Good news, good news!"
The crowd turned around one after another and looked at the merchant. Everyone's eyes widened and they did not dare to be careless for a moment.
"A caravan has returned from the north. Beiyan is in civil strife. The three princes are at war with each other. Beiyan is in civil strife!"
With a bang, the businessmen turned around and shouted: "Buy government bonds at a high price."
When Beiyan is in civil strife, Daliang no longer has to worry about the north. This is good news.
Treasury bonds are expected to be good, and it is estimated that they will continue to rise.
"High price, high price, I will buy it too!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, it has been released now."
The merchants shouted and grabbed the people around them to ask if they could sell them.
"Brother Zhang, just sell me the national debt. The price is negotiable. You don't have much, right?"
"It will continue to rise!"
"I know, but your amount is small. I already have a share of 500,000. I will give you what you should earn. I will bet on a big one!"
Treasury bonds can definitely still rise, but people are willing to give money first. Brother Zhang thought about it and thought it was a good deal. His capital is only more than 2,000, so he can't afford to play big.
It's just that now that he makes a move, he can make more than 500 taels. In less than half a month, he has made more than 500 taels.
The two went to trade over the counter and paid taxes, which went smoothly.
Brother Zhang said: "The national debt is still too small. Your Majesty should issue more. The total amount of 10 million is more than enough!"
"That's right, that's right, it's still too little. Your Majesty has no idea how enthusiastic I am for waiting!"
"Then let His Majesty know. How about we look for connections and tell His Majesty to post more!"
"Good idea, good idea."
A group of businessmen were about to go out when another businessman came in: "The latest news is that the caravan from the north said that the Emperor of Yan State is dead. The news is still top secret. The court may not even know about it. There is going to be a war. We, the Liang State, are going to war!"
"The imperial court is preparing to issue war bonds, and I, Daliang, are going to unify the world!"
The pull is like gravity. No matter how much the person resists, he is still pulled closer to the crowd by countless people.
"Is the news reliable?"
"Zhao Wuji is dead. Haha, who can still suppress my army? I bought the war bonds. I am willing to pay 1 million to buy the bonds and bet that I, Liang, will unify the world!"
Soon the exchange fell into a carnival, and all the merchants had full confidence in Daliang. The emperor had already used troops twice, once to defeat the Western Regions and once to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty!
Now that Northern Yan is in civil strife and the emperor is still dead, Daliang will definitely be able to defeat Yan.
