  Chapter 1699 Worth Doubled

  In fact, during the court meeting, news spread.

  As soon as the news came out, those who received the news in advance couldn't sit still.

  Wang Bushi's news channel is faster.

  When a note was handed to Wang Bushi who was on duty in the Imperial Academy.

  The Imperial Academy is very leisurely now, and there are still people chattering about the stock market.

  Wang Bushi only looked down at the note quickly, then took out a treasure note from his sleeve, and rewarded the scribe who came to deliver the news.

   Immediately, he stood up.

  The other members of Hanlin felt strange, and someone said: "Scholar Wang...this is..."

   "Leave!" Wang Bushi said firmly, "Go to the exchange."

   "This... this... what happened?"

  Wang Bushi gave them a meaningful look, but left without saying anything.

  Leave a few Hanlin, all confused.

  After that, the Secretary of General Administration sent a decree and ordered the Imperial Academy to write it down.

  Looking at this... the faces of many Hanlin people were suddenly miserable.

   This decree is actually that the emperor wants to call himself the emperor and abdicate the throne to the prince. Not only that... Liu Jin also joined the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Fang Jifan, the Duke of Qi, joined the cabinet.

  Everyone thought they were wrong.

  The news came so suddenly that many people just felt panicked.

  The current emperor, in the past, shielded the crown prince and the Duke of Qi, etc., which caused a lot of trouble, but now it is good, the righteous masters are here, in the future... Will there be a good life?

   "Scholar Wang left suddenly just now, is it related to this matter?" Someone couldn't help asking.

   "What...can this matter be related? Xueshi Wang only said to go to the exchange, this exchange... and this..."

  Everyone is even more confused.

At this moment... Taichang Temple Minister Liu Jing has led a few people to the Imperial Academy in a hurry, and said with a little panic: "My lords, my lords... I just heard some rumors, I don't know if they are true or not. ..."

  Liu Jing had a heartbroken look on his face. He was in Taichang Temple, and when he heard about this, his heart almost broke.

   But if you think about it carefully, maybe this is just a rumor in the market, and it is not enough to be believed. If there is a real purpose, it will definitely go through the Imperial Academy, and you only need to come to the Imperial Academy to confirm it.

  "Liu Gong..." Many Hanlin's faces were livid, and they said with difficulty: "The rumors are true..."

  Liu Jing felt dizzy and dizzy, thinking that what he was going to face next...was a...a...

  He took a deep breath, his face became even more miserable, his body trembled, and then he said: "Show...show this old man, is it a note from the palace?"

   At this time, most people's faces were not good, and no one responded to him.

   "That's right, where is Xueshi Wang, where is Xueshi Wang?"

   "Scholar Wang went to the exchange."

   "The exchange..." Liu Jing felt strange: "What is he doing at the exchange at this moment? It's really... really inexplicable."

   "Yeah... I'm still puzzled. If... Wang Xueshi wants to curry favor with this, he shouldn't go to the exchange..."

  Liu Jing looked depressed, and at the moment when he was in a state of confusion, suddenly, someone outside said: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle..."

   This voice is very familiar.

  Liu Jing hurried out of the Imperial Academy, but saw a merchant who was stopped by the guards at the door and couldn't get in, so he yelled hysterically.

  Of course Liu Jing recognized him, this is exactly what his nephew said.

  Liu Jing is the Minister of Taichang Temple. On the surface, Taichang Temple is only in charge of rites, music and Taiyuan Hospital, but in fact, because of the need to cooperate with sacrifices, ceremonies, etc., Liu Jing holds the power of purchasing.

  His nephew stated that he opened a business outside, specializing in the sale of ritual vessels and musical instruments. With Liu Jing's care, the business is booming.

  This firm is a statement on the surface, but in fact, it is the business of the Liu family.

  Therefore, with the help of this firm, Liu Jing has accumulated a lot of net worth.

   On the surface, he is very poor, but in fact, a small hundred thousand taels of silver can still be obtained at any time.

   It's just... This nephew actually came directly to look for him in the palace, which made Liu Jing's face full of surprise. After all, his relationship with the statement is somewhat shady.

  He pulled his face down in displeasure: "What are you doing here, are you crazy?"

  The expression on the statement was also very bad. It seemed that at this time, he could no longer care about other things, and fell to the ground with a thud: "Something happened, something big happened, and the stock price skyrocketed."

  Burst...Surge...

   Liu Jing's face showed a look of horror.

Because not long ago, he laughed at Wang Bushi, thinking that the previous rise in the stock price was the result of that bastard, Fang Jifan, the Duke of Qi, who caught a turtle in the urn, so...simply shorted the stock price, and even...used his secret trading activities, comprehensively Short selling the stock price, as long as the stock price falls, you can make a profit from it.

   "Why...how did it increase?" Liu Jing couldn't help being anxious, and couldn't care less about people starting to look at him sideways.

   This is all the wealth I have accumulated as an official for many years, so there is no room for any mistakes.

"Second uncle..." said the statement crying: "The outside world has already spread, saying that the crown prince is going to ascend the throne, and the Duke of Qi is going to join the cabinet. Those **** merchants are always cautious and cautious on weekdays. They are afraid, afraid that they will be exposed. Wealth is coveted by people. Therefore, even if it is investment, there is always some leeway. No one dares to be the first bird, for fear of becoming Shen Wansan. What's more, although the imperial court implements new policies, the new policies are always repeated every now and then. , the new policies in many places are anticlimactic, probably because some local officials are obedient and vigilant. Because of this, merchants act very cautiously."

"But... but... this time, when they heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, the businessmen went crazy. They all said that His Highness the Crown Prince strongly supports the New Deal. Once he ascends the throne, the New Deal will surely come to fruition. The future market will definitely have unlimited space. And that Duke of Qi, this New Deal was originally implemented by him and his disciples. When Duke Qi enters the cabinet, a lot of strategies that are good for the New Deal are bound to come out, and many officials who block the New Deal are bound to be unlucky. Not to mention, with Qi Guogong protects, who dares to act rashly against their merchants, their good days... are coming."

  Merchants are very shrewd, and they are best at adapting to the wind.

  When the market is risky, they will inevitably be cautious, and will not be willing to bet all their belongings easily. They always follow the principle of cunning rabbits and three caves.

  But once... the risk of the imperial court completely disappeared, at this time, they were really relieved.

  Just as Hanlin people don’t trust the prince and the Duke of Qi, on the contrary, the merchants trust the prince and the Duke of Qi very much. They firmly believe that the prince and the Duke of Qi have always protected them and escorted them in the court.

   Now these two are in position...

  This means that a vast future market is in front of them. It also means that they can reveal their wealth unsuspectingly and conduct transactions openly.

  Which merchant will not see business opportunities? And once you are optimistic about the market prospects, the most intuitive reflection is the trading market.

  A large number of workshops will expand, they need countless silver, and once expanded, it means profitable, investment in them must be profitable.

  So... countless funds entered the trading market like crazy.

  The big merchants took action, and the small merchants naturally couldn't sit still.

   Immediately afterwards, it was transmitted to ordinary people.

  Who doesn’t want to strike while the iron is hot and increase the value of the money in their hands?

  It's so... Empty crowds...

Liu Jing's face turned pale, he felt his legs were a little weak, he held on with all his strength, and said in his mouth: "I understand, I understand, no wonder that Wang Bushi... that Wang Bushi... went to the exchange in a hurry Ricky, this bitch, this bitch..."

Liu Jing gritted his teeth, and almost beat his chest and stumbled again, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for many years, so he calmed down for a while, and he stared at Dongli District and stated: "Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up, go Exchange."

"It's too late." The statement said with tears: "We don't have any valuable banknotes for trading, and all the valuable banknotes have been sold short, and now we can't withdraw them at all, and...and...we have also used leverage, two Uncle...we can borrow money to sell short, if it continues to rise like this, we...we..."

  Liu Jing is well aware of the importance of time, so he still had a glimmer of hope just now, but at this point, it seems...

  He already felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and then... he felt his heart was stuffy, so he clutched his heart, but his mouth was foaming.

   "Second uncle, think of a way, think of a way."

  Liu Jing couldn't say a word, and still clutched his heart with a difficult look.

  Seeing this statement, I knew in my heart that everything was over.

  My second uncle has nothing to do.

   When it came to this, he didn't come forward to give first aid. At this moment, even his second uncle had no choice but to take the opportunity to pack up some things and run away, right?

  So he stood up directly, turned around, and ran away without looking back.

   At this time, Liu Jing looked at the back that was going away, and finally spit out a mouthful of old blood, and fell to the ground.

  The guards in front of the door hurried forward to give first aid.

  ...

  When Emperor Hongzhi arrived at the exchange, the exchange was already crowded with people.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked astonished, and finally squeezed in under the protection of Xiao Jingren and others.

  The eyes of everyone in the entire exchange were red.

  Countless people waved the banknotes, as if the banknotes did not require money, no matter what stocks, as long as there was shipment, they would buy them immediately.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at the crowd left and right, and finally grabbed a merchant by his side: "Today...what's the matter?"

   "What's the matter?" The merchant stared at Emperor Hongzhi with an incredulous look on his face: "What else can I do? His Royal Highness, he is going to ascend the throne and become the emperor!"

  His tone seemed like he was going to be emperor.
