Chapter 1166 Let’s see who dares to go short in the future
On this day, Zhang Yue took a rest in his mansion.
Zhang Yue has always been slow to do things, so at this moment he wanted to calm down and watch.
At this time, when new crabs were coming in, the chef in the mansion cooked some, and Zhang Yue peeled the crabs and ate them.
Seeing Zhang Yue eating so much crab paste that her hands were all covered with crab paste, Seventeenth Mother couldn't help but smile and peeled the crabs for him herself. Seventeenth Mother looked at how skillfully she peeled the crabs with her skillful hands, and even after peeling for half a day, her hands were not stained at all.
.
Seeing the crab meat being picked and put into a bowl, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh: "My lady's hands are so skillful."
The Seventeenth Mother smiled and said: "An official's mouth should not be sweet. Crabs are cold in nature, so dip them in more ginger and vinegar."
While they were talking, they learned that Wu Anshi had come to the house to ask for an audience. Zhang Yue seemed to have expected this.
The Seventeenth Mother said: "What's wrong with the official?"
Zhang Yue said: "Brother-in-law must be here because of the salt banknotes."
The Seventeenth Mother heard this and said, "But my brother is making things difficult for the officials?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't know if I will be in trouble, but my brother-in-law is definitely not the only one who comes to me today. Madam, please help me block them all. Don't say anything until later."
The Seventeenth Mother raised her head when she heard this and looked at Zhang Yue with a bit of determination.
Seventeenth Mother gave a few instructions and continued to peel Zhang Yue's crabs: "Official, it's not uncommon for yamen in Beijing to use some insider information to buy and sell."
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Madam, are you worried that I will knock over a whole boat of people with one pole?"
The seventeenth mother smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Yue picked up the peeled crab meat with his chopsticks and said, "Sometimes it's just like crabs. What you see with teeth and claws showing is actually the meal on the plate."
The Seventeenth Mother said: "Since some people are disgusting, then the officials can just drive them out. If you are afraid of offending others, why should you be the prime minister?"
Zhang Yue sighed: "Madam knows me, to be honest, I feel a little guilty towards my brother-in-law. Over the years... I haven't said anything to him, and I have watched him go astray."
Seventeenth Mother said: "A gentleman is a man who can constantly strive to improve himself. You can only understand the truth yourself."
"It seems that there are some female envoys in the house, even though I know they are not good, I never give them advice. My brother can't even teach my parents well. Why should an official tire himself out just to help others?"
Zhang Yue nodded and said, "My lady is right!"
…
On this day, I don’t know how many people went to Zhang Mansion and were rejected.
The autumn days are a bit hot and dry.
In front of the entrance of the Exchange, notices have been posted.
Several men in silk clothes were sitting in the restaurant a few dozen steps outside the gate, watching the scene through the curtains. Their identities were sensitive and they could not show their faces in the exchange, so they all passed on information through people.
Now that the notice is posted, everyone is rushing to see it.
A person in the tea shop said: "Don't panic, let's see what exactly is said, and then we can think of countermeasures."
"We still have some foundation over the years. If we don't support the market, the salt banknote won't rise much."
Another person said: "But I have to pay some compensation."
The person at the end of the seat said: "Wu Dayan arrived at Zhang's Mansion this morning, and he is probably going to make trouble with Prime Minister Zhang."
"What a good plan. Fortunately, you already had the idea to drag Wu Dayanei into trouble. I don't think Prime Minister Zhang would be so ruthless, even to the point of refusing to save his brother-in-law!"
"Brother Gao is still smart. He thought about this move in advance. This Wu Dayan is also very greedy."
The man surnamed Gao sneered: "Yes, he wants us to be sad, and the Zhang family can't even think about it."
At this time, one person went upstairs.
"How is the notice written?"
"It is true that salt banknotes are equivalent to official salt from all over the world. At the same time, the imperial court will stop issuing additional salt banknotes this year!"
"Stop issuing additional salt banknotes this year!"
After hearing this sentence, everyone's expression changed.
There are 10 million guan of official salt a year, but there are only 10 million guan of salt banknotes in circulation on the market. If the issuance of additional salt banknotes is stopped, salt merchants will not be able to buy salt banknotes to redeem salt.
"Zhang San, this is going to kill us!"
The leader was shocked and angry.
"Do you still want to buy when the market opens?"
"What are we buying? The worst we can do is to owe it. What else can the court do to us?"
"Let's go make trouble together and see if Zhang San can withstand it."
"He really regards Da Song as his own family! The people in this world are named Zhao, not Zhang! He is just a housekeeper!"
"That is, can Zhang San still be the prime minister for the rest of his life? He has offended us, let's see what happens to him later in life!"
A few people said this, but the exchange below was in a state of excitement. The merchants and people in front of the door held the salt banknotes and salt banknote receipts in their hands and cheered.
Then these crowds rushed into the exchange.
For the vast majority of people, they still don’t know the concept of short selling. Even if they sold yesterday, they only sold as much salt banknotes as they had in their hands.
Even if you lose money, you won't lose much.
For these yamen, taking advantage of the delivery loopholes of the stock exchange and conducting short selling with nothing is the way to make massive profits.
But their greed in the past has become their poison today.
Yesterday, countless people were dejected in front of the door, but they were toasting and drinking in the restaurant.
Wang Zhongxiu also ridiculed that not everyone can get rich overnight.
Seeing everyone so happy today, they looked under the curtains expressionlessly.
The autumn sunshine shines outside the window, and it looks so dazzling at the moment.
"I won't buy it! I won't buy it even if I die!"
"I wonder what Zhang San can do to me?"
The leader, Wang Zhongxiu, said this simply and neatly, and he forgot all Wang Gui's instructions yesterday.
"That's right, if we don't have a good time, no one can have a good time, and no one in Bianjing can have a good time!" said the man surnamed Gao.
The other party is Gao Shichong, the son of Gao Zunyu, who has close contacts with the Wang family on weekdays. This time he is also a short-seller.
Only the two identities of Gao Shichong and Wang Zhongxiu were able to walk away in Bianjing. Several others were also yamen in the yamen, not to mention Wu Anshi who was in the Zhang Mansion.
At this moment, knowing that Zhang Yue refused to see her, Wu Anshi had already started throwing tea bowls and furniture in the living room, cursing Zhang Yue for being ungrateful and ungrateful for the Wu family's care over the years. She had known that she would not support her sister's marriage in the first place.
he.
“As soon as the Exchange opened, the salt notes doubled, and they are still rising!”
As soon as this statement came out, several officials in the government changed their minds on the spot.
…
In Zhang's mansion, Zhang Yue closed his eyes and listened to the Seventeenth Mother playing the piano.
Who knew it would be bad to let Wu Anshi curse so loudly in the living room, but Zhang Yue let him go.
Instead, listening to the Seventeenth Mother playing the piano, Zhang Yue felt a little intoxicated. He couldn't help but think of the days when he was young, when he went to Beijing with the Seventeenth Mother on the Wu family's boat.
At that time, my relationship with Wu Dayanei was quite good.
After marrying his sister, he left his brother aside, which seemed a bit unjust, but Zhang Yue didn't care much anymore.
Although he could throw Wu Anshi out of the house, he still let him scold her, otherwise his wife would not feel guilty and touch Qin to apologize.
At this time, Peng Jingyi came in and handed Zhang Yue a note. After reading the note, Zhang Yue said sternly to Peng Jingyi: "Tell Ye Zuqia, don't be afraid of this or that, and don't worry about anyone handing him a note. I will take care of everything."
Carry it!"
"Continue to raise the salt banknotes! Before the market closes, I will make the salt banknotes rise to fifteen coins per seat!"
