Xie Jin looked calm and said calmly: "The pattern I discovered is that of banks."
Zhu Di: "..."
Xie Jin continued: "Since someone is manipulating the market behind the scenes, a large amount of gold and silver must be used. And if there is gold and silver, it will inevitably involve the bank's dispatch. How can the bank stay out of such a large transaction?"
Zhu Di was inspired at once, so he said: "So if you teach people to stare at the bank, they can detect something fishy?"
"It's not that easy, but it's probably about the same." Xie Jin said: "In addition, it is to find out the details of the exchange. Since it is a large-scale purchase, there must be traces! But... these purchases will inevitably
Find a way to do it quietly and silently.”
"Quietly?" Zhu Di thought thoughtfully.
Xie Jin said: "This teaching is deceptive, and once it is discovered by others, it will naturally trigger discussions. By then, I am afraid that the price of the product will be high before they have completed the acquisition, and it will definitely be unprofitable."
After Zhu Di heard this, he nodded subconsciously.
Xie Jin added: "So the most effective way is to conduct some sporadic transactions outside the market, and try your best not to disturb the exchange until the deadline comes, and then suddenly go to the exchange to conduct large-scale transactions, and wait until everyone
When I woke up, I realized that this business had already been acquired. In addition, it is impossible for one person to carry out the acquisition. Since such a large-scale acquisition must involve a large amount of manpower, there are always clues about it.
…”
After Xie Jin finished speaking, he added: "All of my clan members are in Java. Although I am in the capital, I miss you every day. Therefore, after I became aware of this matter, I couldn't help but have some greed in my heart, always wanting to give myself something."
I want to leave something behind for my descendants and descendants to save them from suffering... It’s just that I am a great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, but I still do this. It can be said that I am acting as an aide to a tiger, and it is a crime worthy of death."
To be honest, Xie Jin was not guilty at all. After all, there was no collusion involved, he was just buying along.
What's more, his real trump card is his relatives in Java! When Zhu Di took care of Jie Jin, the Jie family suffered a lot, and they are still 'suffering' in Java now.
Therefore, every time Jie Jin mentioned it, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little ashamed!
Although Xie Jin made mistakes, he also made achievements in Java. After entering the court, he worked even harder. His whole family is still in Java. It's embarrassing to think about it.
So Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Jie Qing is not guilty."
But Hu Guang's heart dropped when he heard this.
I originally thought that Jin Jing was among them, but I thought in my mind that the law does not punish everyone, and my son should not be the worst offender.
As a result, their personalities are completely different. Therefore, the psychological changes have been from worry about Xie Jin at first, to jealousy of Xie Jin, and now my thoughts are... Why do I seem to be the only bad guy?
Xie Jin said loudly at this time: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Di said: "What about you, what about you? Are you like Xie Qing? Do you also have relatives who are thousands of miles away? Do you have no money left at home and can't live anymore? I see, you are like this
After eating lard, his mind was blinded, so he became bold and conspired to do such a thing."
Zhu Di paused and continued angrily: "I am blushing for you, because I am so obsessed with your interests that I disregard the dignity of the ministers. Such efforts to benefit the people and for the sake of the New Deal have won the court's trust over the years.
Merchants, as well as soldiers and civilians. Now, because of you, you are so stupid that you can't help but protect your family.
Qiao Xiu Zhuo 伲 袢needle Yi 羰 pro 萑荻 狋 rise also huang ’s 忝 and play copy Yi 游 馓煜路 carbon toe road 衩 and shoulder Huai WrenΑ!?
Zhu Di was furious at this time, which is understandable.
He, Zhu Di, didn't dare to break the rules. After all, Zhu Di knew what was important and what was serious. Such things were just a waste of money, but these guys dared to do things that Zhu Di didn't dare to do. It was really unreasonable!
Zhang and Zhu Yong were frightened and kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "I will definitely not tolerate adultery. If you do such a good thing, what should I do with you? Should I exile you, or should I confiscate your property to thank the world?"
Zhang and Zhu Yong were stunned.
Hu Guang was even more frightened out of his mind.
If this is really not copied, the game is really over.
The more Hu Guang thought about it, the more he became afraid. He was as scared as chaff.
On the contrary, Xie Jin had stayed out of the matter. Looking at these ashen-faced people, he actually understood in his heart.
The truth of the matter is actually known to everyone.
With the IQs of the people in this palace, such as Hu Guang, Zhu Yong, and Zhang, to put it bluntly, even if they were all added together and all participated in the conspiracy, let alone playing around with the exchange, if they put in real money and silver, they could get out without going bankrupt.
, enough to make Xie Jingao look at them.
Doesn’t Your Majesty know this matter well?
The real culprits in this matter were Zhang Anshi and the King of Han.
Not to mention Zhang Anshi's current status, Zhu Di also wanted to keep Zhang Anshi's status so that he could implement the New Deal.
As for His Highness the King of Han, let alone that. Although it was a bit disappointing at first, after all, this is a direct bloodline, and His Majesty is getting old. The older a person is, the more he will inevitably have a feeling of licking the baby, and will miss him thousands of miles away, but
The son who cannot meet each other, this son had to be sent overseas for the sake of the Ming Dynasty for generations to come, and he will always be a vassal. He will rarely step into the territory of the Ming Dynasty in his life. For His Majesty, he feels a little guilty towards the King of Han.
If you calculate it this way, in essence, Zhu Di knew that the matter was very serious, which already involved the issue of gaining the trust of the people in the world. If he did not handle it well, it would shake the foundation of the country.
So, under the above circumstances, the only thing Zhu Di had to do was to summon people like Hu Guang and Zhang to deal with them severely.
On the one hand, giving the world an explanation can at least calm some discussions.
But on the other hand, it was to scare the tigers and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. Although it did not incriminate Zhang Anshi and the King of Han on the surface, it was actually a warning to Zhang Anshi and the King of Han.
For people like Hu Guang, Zhang, and Zhu Yong, it is actually hard to tell. In fact, this is understandable. They are well aware of this, but can they confess Zhang Anshi now?
Therefore, I can only be the scapegoat.
Everything was tacit, and regarding this, Xie Jin said calmly: "Your Majesty, I think that this matter is unprecedented after all. It is difficult to say what crime to punish. It is better... to summon the King of Song Dynasty to come down."
, let’s see what he says?”
Zhu Di took a deep look at Xie Jin.
In fact, these words are exactly what Zhu Di meant.
Zhu Di didn't go to deal with Zhang Anshi, but that didn't mean that for such a big thing, he shouldn't scare the monkeys, so he immediately said: "Summon Zhang Anshi."
There was still a sense of solemnity in the palace.
If you lose your temper, you will leave in a hurry.
After a while, Zhang Anshi was brought in.
Zhang Anshi bowed down and saluted honestly.
Zhu Di stared at him and said, "Does Zhang Qing know about their affairs?"
Zhang Anshi's face was quite calm and he said, "I don't know what's going on?"
Zhu Di glanced at Xie Jin and said, "Xie Qing, please tell me."
Xie Jin was not vague and simply explained the matter directly.
During the narration process, Zhu Di still stared closely at Zhang Anshi, as if he wanted to use his murderous aura to teach Zhang Anshi to be timid.
But Zhang Anshi listened attentively, but seemed not worried at all, as if he had nothing to do with this matter.
Even Jie Jin couldn't help but admire Zhang Anshi in his heart. He was indeed a great talent. He was calm and unfazed by changes. Even though his brothers and close associates were about to die, he could still be so indifferent and ruthless. He was really a good material for great things!
Such a person would definitely be a hero in troubled times.
Xie Jin said it.
Zhu Di said coldly: "These people are really dead. I summoned you this time to teach Zhang Qing how to deal with these people."
Zhang Anshi composed himself, blinked, and still looked calm. He did not show any surprise or fear, which made Zhu Di a little disappointed.
Zhang Anshi said calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty, it's hard for me to talk about this matter, because I am the one who takes the lead in purchasing the business order."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yong and Zhang let out a heavy breath as if they had escaped from death.
They even looked a little excited.
Big brother is really reliable this time.
Finally, I didn't put my eggs in two baskets.
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, he was very surprised.
He obviously did not expect that Zhang Anshi would take the blame himself.
Now Zhu Di is in trouble. If this is the case, then Zhu Di is obviously passive. If he is dealt with severely, Zhang Anshi will be the first offender. But if he ignores it, it will disappoint everyone in the world.
Zhu Di said: "In this case, Zhang Qing set up all this for profit?"
"Set up a trap?" Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand. What does your Majesty mean by setting up a trap?"
"Humph." Zhu Di said: "Do you really think that everyone in the world is a fool? If you don't set up a trap and make a profit, how can you do it? What you buy will skyrocket? According to the news about you, it is many times faster than others.
, can these deceive everyone in the world?"
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he showed a very painful expression and turned to say: "Although you have made many small mistakes after following me for these years, I know you well, but I know that Zhang Qing is worthy of me and the common people."
. But how could you do something like this when you are about to become famous? If you don’t have money, you can ask me to raise it. Why do you take such desperate risks and ignore the public sentiment? "
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I still don't understand. I didn't collude. I... just bought and sold. Is it possible that the door of this exchange is not open to me and I am not allowed to buy?"
Zhu Di only felt that Zhang Anshi still wanted to be tough in the face of the facts, so he looked at him with a look of hatred and said: "Stop making excuses, plead guilty quickly, and maybe I will take credit for your contribution..."
Zhang Anshi said innocently: "Your Majesty, what I said is indeed the actual situation, and I have no intention of making excuses. Of course, I am better informed than others, but... being well informed cannot be a crime, right?
?”
Zhu Di: "..."
Jie Jin saw that Zhu Di was speechless, so he hurriedly gave Zhu Di some advice: "Your Majesty, King Song, what your Majesty means is that you are obviously much better informed than others about this information. This is really unbelievable. Now there are rumors among the people that there is someone behind this.
A setup, the result of a behind-the-scenes deal."
"So this is it?" Zhang Anshi breathed out, grinned, and said with a relaxed look: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, I take it seriously... I received the news some time in advance, but as for setting up a trap
and behind-the-scenes deals are completely false and this is slander."
Zhu Di sighed and said: "Even now, I still refuse to repent. Do you insist on making my words clear? Okay, I'm here to ask you. Over in Annan, there is news about the railway on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Are you the ninth day of the Lunar New Year?
He knew it before and immediately purchased large amounts of steel?"
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di calmly and said, "Because I learned the news on the eighth day of the lunar month."
Zhu Di was a little surprised by his frankness, and then sneered: "On the eighth day of the lunar month? Let me ask you again, how long does it take to get from Luzon to the capital?"
Zhang Anshi didn't think much and said: "If it is a fast horse traveling all the way, if there is no bad weather or other conditions along the way, it will probably be between the tenth and the fifteenth. If an ordinary person travels, it will take three days."
May, or a year later.”
Zhu Di looked at him mockingly and snorted: "In that case, even the fastest horse will take more than ten days. Let me ask you, how did you get the news the next day?"
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Because I am not using a fast horse."
At this moment, Zhu Diqian was immediately silenced.
Things seem to have returned to a new starting point.
In fact, Zhu Di was not a good-tempered person. If it had been anyone else, he would have been violent. But at this time, he took a deep breath and said patiently: "If you don't use fast horses, what are you using?
Could it be that he has clairvoyance and ears?"
Zhang Anshi shook his head slightly and said: "How could it be possible? That thing is too mysterious! But... I used a new thing called... um, it's called... a telegram."
telegraph……
Zhu Di frowned and was immediately confused.
Immediately, Zhu Di looked around.
It seems that I want to get some reminder from the great bachelor.
But the shock on the face of Xie Jin, a well-informed academician, was not much better than that of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di had no choice but to turn his gaze back to Zhang Anshi and continued to ask patiently: "What is a telegram?"
Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid I can't explain this clearly."
Zhu Di opened his eyes suddenly and glared at Zhang Anshi: "What does it mean that you can't tell clearly? Does it mean that I can't understand it?"
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to immediately say: "I don't dare."
So Zhang Anshi said patiently: "That's it. I, together with Xu Jingchang and others, have come up with a new communication tool. But I can't say whether this thing... is usable. This matter is of great importance.
So of course I don’t dare to launch it rashly, so we have been conducting some tests over the past few days.”
"And the trading on this exchange is part of the test."
Zhu Di: "..."
Although Zhu Di was still confused, he probably understood a little bit.
He stared at Zhang Anshi with some severity and said, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Zhang Anshi immediately said solemnly: "How dare I deceive you?"
Zhu Di then narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Anshi closely with a scrutinizing gaze: "Can the news be spread from Annan to the capital in one day?"
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it's not within one day, but... maybe less than one stick of incense."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Di's face became more solemn, and his eyes were full of doubt.
Zhang Anshi said: "I am conducting the test for the purpose of transmitting the information that Your Majesty is worried about. It is said that you are worried about the humiliation of your ministers. How could you imagine that such a good person would be punished by your Majesty? Your Majesty, the news of this minister is better than others.
If you want to be quick, can't you buy bulk commodities on the exchange in advance? This is like two samurai fighting. Is it because one of the samurai is highly skilled in martial arts, so his hands and feet must be tied before the duel is allowed? "
Zhu Di's eyebrows furrowed into the character "Sichuan", and for a moment, he felt a little confused.
Looking at Zhang Anshi's appearance, it really doesn't look like he is joking or lying. Could it be that... is this really clairvoyance and good ears?
If so, then how terrible it must be!
If we talk about steam locomotives, he can probably understand it, but the things Zhang Anshi mentioned now are completely beyond Zhu Di's understanding.
So Zhu Di calmed down, regained some composure, and said, "Where are these you mentioned?"
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "The telegraph room in the capital is located in the Palace of the Song Dynasty."
Zhu Di's face was uncertain, and he said: "Can the message be transmitted thousands of miles?"
"It's almost the same." Zhang Anshi said: "But right now, we are still testing...so..."
"It's a test. You have earned so much money, how dare you call it a test?" Zhu Di said through gritted teeth.
It seems that at this moment, I already believe a little bit of Zhang Anshi's words.
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, this is actually part of the plan."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshi explained: "Your Majesty must be aware of the importance of news to the court and businessmen. Once a telegram appears, then... it must be promoted and appear in every state and county in the world!"
"But... once it is necessary to build such a telegraph, the cost is staggering. Therefore, I think that if it is funded by the court alone, it will be too expensive. But if businessmen are to invest, these businessmen... are so precious with money.
How can you give in to your fate so easily?"
"Because of this, I am taking this test opportunity to set an example at the same time. If anyone can complete the laying of the telegraph alone, then this convenient communication will be in the hands of one person and one family, then... for the world's merchants
, all have huge harm. If you want to share communication, you must have money and strength to contribute..."
Zhang Anshi talked with great eloquence and his words were astonishing.
Zhu Di felt dizzy.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that he couldn't accept it for a while.
