Chapter 584 of the Gui Scroll: Go to Yangzhou and plan a big game
When traveling from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, it is inevitable to meet Zhen Baochen.
It was another scene of love and affection, but Bushiyamala was generous and didn't care too much about a character whose fate was similar to Wang Xifeng's.
He even took the initiative to meet with the other party and chatted about Jinwei's situation, which surprised Zhen Baochen and became more and more curious about Feng Ziying's secrets.
Princess Jurchen also gave birth to a pair of twin children for Feng Ziying, and she actually still lived with Wang Xifeng. She dared to entrust her two children to Wang Xifeng. This was incredible.
But Feng Ziying did it so naturally and calmly, and yet Feng Ziying was still the Minister of War of the Zhou Dynasty and a third-rank minister. Could it be that the imperial court turned a blind eye to this?
After all, Zhen Baochen was also a top official, and his father and uncle were still aware of the inside story of the imperial court.
It is impossible for Long Jinwei to know nothing about such matters. It can only mean that Long Jinwei doesn't care about it, or that he thinks there is no need to offend this new celebrity in the court.
After three rounds of drinking and having sex in bed, Feng Ziying leaned on the bedside, half asleep, listening to Zhen Baochen introduce the development of the Yangzhou Stock Exchange during this period.
It should be said that Bi Ziyan really has some abilities.
Feng Ziying only gave him a rough framework and ideas, but Bi Ziyan was able to implement and deploy them one by one in such a short period of time, and made rapid progress, which shows that this person has great abilities.
"So far, seven industries have been listed for trading. Master Bi has taken great pains to bring in salt merchants from Yangzhou, Huizhou merchants, and businessmen from the Longyou Merchant Gang and the Dongting Merchant Gang. Although these people
They may not really be interested in these industries, but because of Mr. Bi's face, they still bought some shares... Who would have thought that the ups and downs after the listing would not be as simple as they imagined?
You can actually sell a pile of waste paper, and you can even make a profit, so many people here are attracted..."
Feng Ziying also sighed. No one was interested in this original stock, and he had to go and win people to support the platform. But think about it when Chinese people first started to get involved in stocks a few hundred years later, wasn't it the same?
"Now from Nanjing to Songjiang, from Suzhou to Hangzhou, there are many people interested in this. Mr. Bi has recruited all the officials from the Nanjing Household Department. The imperial court has suspended the operation of the Six Departments in Nanjing, and many of the original people are gone.
They have lost their livelihood, and now Mr. Bi is very enthusiastic about recruiting them. After all, it is a job that earns a living from an official..."
Feng Ziying didn't speak much and listened quietly to Zhen Baochen's chatter.
After a few months of separation, Zhen Baochen had too many things to talk to her lover. At this time, Feng Ziying was the best listener.
"The stock trading of shipyards has basically stabilized, and some good news has been released. There were some fluctuations, but later everyone understood it, so it stabilized. However, there is still a lot of room for manipulation in those newly listed stocks, so
Many people are targeting those who have just entered the market and are newly listed..."
"What requirements does Mr. Bi have for newly listed industries?" Feng Ziying asked in a low voice with her eyes closed.
"There are some requirements, so I specially called these officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to conduct an audit on the newly listed industries. Yes, it is an audit. Mr. Bi also said that this term was given to him by my father, and the requirements for industries must be strict.
Accounts must be kept in accordance with the new accounting method, and no fraud is allowed, otherwise the assets of the property will be confiscated, so this rule is very strict, and most people dare not violate it, and would rather not go public..."
Zhen Baochen now regards this industry as his foundation and enjoys it.
More and more industries are using this method to raise funds, and she is the most active participant. Of course, she chooses industries that she believes will have higher listing prices in the future after evaluation.
"How many people like you are there now who specialize in buying low and selling high in the securities market?" Feng Ziying asked again.
"Sir, I don't just buy low and sell high, I also participated in the issuance of shares by two companies..." Zhen Baochen said coquettishly, "Now there are a lot of people in the exchange who specialize in buying low and selling high. From the beginning,
There were only twenty or thirty people, but now it has increased by more than ten times. There are three to four hundred people in the exchange every day. Of course, there are big and small among them, and they are not here all day long, coming and going.
uncertain,……"
"Is the market booming?"
"The trading of new tickets is lively. If there is no news about old tickets, it will be very boring..." Zhen Baochen sighed, "Maybe by the end of the year, some industries will pay dividends as I said, which may stimulate many people's feelings about this.
Interest, now everyone is still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones."
Just talk about it like this, Feng Ziying actually doesn't care much anymore.
Once this new thing appears and finds out the value of its existence, it will slowly grow despite the ups and downs.
Feng Ziying does not think that these businessmen are any more stupid than modern stock traders. They will also consider and analyze from various angles and make trading decisions.
Zhen Baochen enjoys it, and even has a bit of interest in new shares. No, it should be said that he is deeply involved in the issuance of new shares. Feng Ziying will naturally support him strongly. At least this can be regarded as opening up a new track and supporting new things.
…
"How is your family?" Feng Ziying finally returned to this topic and couldn't get around it. If she ignored it, she would appear to be callous.
"Everything has been arranged. Let's go to Beijing to wait for trial first. Thank you for your care. The journey has been smooth. I didn't suffer much trouble in Beijing. It is estimated that there will be a result soon. As I said, the same is true around Gyeonggi.
Sent to exile, so that my father and uncles can accept it and won't suffer too much..."
Zhen Baochen saw this matter very clearly.
It is definitely impossible to get away with it directly in this situation. The Tang family and the Ding family have been ruined. Why can your Zhen family stay out of it? No matter how you cooperate, it is impossible.
She was very grateful to Feng Ziying for helping her, and she felt that she was tied to him for the rest of her life.
"I don't want to take too much care of the Zhen family. My father and uncle are mentally prepared and can bear it. After three or five years, things will gradually fade away. If I can help, I will be very grateful.
"
Zhen Baochen's words also made Feng Ziying feel very comfortable. This woman was very measured in doing things, knew the boundaries, and was stronger than Wang Xifeng in some aspects, so Feng Ziying admired this woman very much.
The Zhen family still has some well-established connections in Jiangnan. After this in-depth talk with her father, Feng Ziying suddenly realized that sometimes she can no longer handle things as simply as before, and should take a more long-term view. Although the Zhen family is a big tree,
It was cut down, but its roots hidden in the ground were not completely severed. If you can help carefully, it may be possible to partially recover.
What my father said is very important. No matter who is the chief minister, if he wants to be stable, he must not bypass the Jiangnan gentry.
I already have a relatively good impression among Jiangnan merchants, but my foundation among the gentry group is not deep enough and needs to be developed slowly from all levels.
Ye Xianggao has also been the chief assistant for ten years. In Feng Ziying's view, Fang Congzhe is not a suitable first assistant and does not have enough prestige among civil servants. Especially the scholars in Huguang are not interested in him. So the next chief assistant is Qi Shi.
It is very likely that he will take over, even if Qi Shi is currently only third in the cabinet rankings.
However, starting from Shen Yiguan in the later period of Emperor Yuanxi, it has been more than 20 years since the chief assistant was appointed by scholars from the south of the Yangtze River, and it was time for scholars from the north to take up the post.
However, Qi Shi's presence among the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan was very weak, which was also Qi Shi's biggest shortcoming.
If something happens, the disciple will do his job. If Master Qi wants to serve as the first assistant, then he, his proud disciple, will help make up for and communicate with the shortcomings in this area.
Feng Ziying even suspected that Master Qi was trying his best to recommend her to Jiangnan as governor, which meant that she had the intention of letting herself do this in advance.
Seeing that Feng Ziying was lost in thought, Zhen Baochen didn't dare to disturb him and just snuggled quietly next to the man.
After a long time, Feng Ziying woke up from her deep thoughts, patted the woman's plump buttocks, and said lovingly: "Go to sleep, it's hard to understand the pain of lovesickness. If you show mercy to Gu Jun, the days will be long. Maybe we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."
"
Zhen Baochen's pretty eyes sparkled, her face was delicate and delicate, and her voice couldn't help but tremble, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to come to the south to work?"
"Well, it's possible. We'll know in June." Feng Ziying didn't say anything. She hugged Zhen Baochen's slender body and couldn't help but rub it twice more before she resisted the urge to score twice.
Feng Ziying stayed in Yangzhou for two days.
Now that I have guessed some of Master Qi's arrangements, I must do some things that should be done in advance.
It's not easy to be the governor of Jiangnan, and I don't know how long I will be here.
The governorship of Shaanxi was not long, but his original purpose was to deal with emergencies, solve the civil unrest in Shaanxi, and stabilize the situation. It was considered a success.
But it is different here in Jiangnan. The Six Ministries of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were abolished and replaced by the Jiangnan Governor's Office. How long this governor's office will exist is hard to say. Maybe I, the second governor of Jiangnan, will be the last.
But the power of the governor of Jiangnan is huge, and he does have a lot of room for maneuver. In a sense, he may not be able to do much to rebuild his own basic base in Jiangnan, especially when he has already won a lot by promoting sea trade.
With the strong support of many Jiangnan merchants.
As for the so-called Jiangnan gentry who relied on land rent for a living, Feng Ziying also felt that they could be divided and disintegrated. Those with open minds should be given policies and opportunities to promote them to transform into industrial and commercial rentiers, while those with conservative and stubborn ideas could be divided into groups.
Treat them indifferently and let them be buried with the tide of the times.
