Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1618 Worth Doubled

  Wang Bushi kept silent and stopped talking to Liu Wenzhi.

  Liu Wenzhi couldn't make fun of himself anymore, so he sat down silently.

   As soon as the new shares were listed, as everyone expected, people immediately subscribed for them.

   And Liu Wenzhi began to sell 50% of his stocks at this time.

  For Liu Wenzhi, it is enough for him to keep 30%.

   No matter how many, it becomes meaningless.

   Immediately afterwards, something amazing happened.

  The value of the new shares was actually recognized by the exchange as thirteen taels of silver per share.

You know, the 50% of the shares are 50,000 shares released, and the remaining 50% is 30,000 shares for Liu Wenzhi, and 20,000 shares for Zhou Tanzhi. Shares of thirteen taels of silver.

  Thus, the value of this pig-raising workshop was directly determined to be worth more than 1.3 million taels.

  In the blink of an eye, the value has doubled several times, why is it not eye-catching?

  But Liu Wenzhi was expressionless, and he couldn't feel happy, and he was quiet.

  The identification of value does not lie in how much money people think the pig farming workshop is worth today, but in how much prospects people see in the future.

  Big market prospect, there is almost no detached position for competition at present, and it is even certain that in the next few years, it may be difficult to find a real competitor. Based on this, Liu Wenzhi feels that the price...is not high.

  As soon as the brand was listed, instead of falling back and adjusting, the stock price began to soar upwards.

  Come here today, in this exchange, no one is short of money, but what people are short of is a good idea.

  Invest heavily in pig-raising workshops to continuously expand their production, give them sufficient funds, and let them continue to replicate. Such methods are no longer new in the current exchanges.

  When the dark horse of the pig raising workshop began to ride the dust and surpass all new stocks, more and more retail investors began to pay attention.

  So, enthusiasm began to drive up.

  Under the attention of everyone, the stock price keeps rising, and the listed stock cards are constantly marked with the latest prices.

  When the price reached twenty-five taels of silver, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The current exchange does not have too many restrictions. Compared with the later generations, it seems barbaric. Therefore, there will always be ups and downs. However, at this time, it is extremely rare for the stock price to double in a short period of time.

  Seeing this, Liu Wenzhi felt a little satisfied. He smiled slightly. With such a huge amount of funds, then, a game of crazy expansion began.

  …

  Fang Jifan was sent away by Emperor Hongzhi, and when he was about to leave the Meridian Gate, he saw an **** coming towards the Meridian Gate quickly, looking reckless.

When Fang Jifan saw it, he knew that he was the **** who was squatting in the exchange and reporting to Emperor Hongzhi at any time. When the **** saw Fang Jifan, he slowed down and stood by the side of the road. In a flash, he went to the palace again.

  Emperor Hongzhi was somewhat displeased with what Fang Jifan did, but after all, he was his own son-in-law, so he could blame him in private.

  Fang Jifan was sent away. As usual, ministers need to be called to discuss important matters. Liu Jian and others have been waiting for a long time.

   This matter is known to everyone, and many people are concerned about Wang Ao's fate.

   Originally, His Majesty also hinted that if this matter is handed over to Fang Jifan, there will be a satisfactory result!

  You can wait and wait, but there is no news.

   When His Majesty summoned Fang Jifan, many people had hope again.

   Thinking about it, there must be an answer to this matter.

   But who would have expected that when His Majesty met the ministers, facing the expectant eyes of everyone, he never mentioned the matter of Wang Ao, and asked about the departure of the Confucian scholars.

  Many Confucian scholars suddenly lost their way out of stereotyped writing, and because of bankruptcy, they lost their fame and fame.

It is said that in Ottoman, a large number of Confucian scholars are reused. The Confucian scholars who traveled westward before have been reused. A large number of Confucian scholars began to enter the Ottoman court, and even went deep into the Ottoman counties. With the encouragement of some great nobles, they are also willing to spend a lot of money to ask Confucian scholars to teach their children to study.

  Ottomans live in mixed races, and they believe in different gods.

   Therefore, at this time, the Ottoman emperors were quite enlightened regarding various ethnic groups and different beliefs. Whether they were Jews, Greeks, or other ethnic groups, they were not too strict.

   Even, what the Ottoman Empire was most guarded against was precisely the clan and relatives of the clan.

   This is actually understandable. Osman is extremely powerful. After more than ten generations, the biggest enemy is precisely the old nobles who fought with the emperor in Xiaoqiang. With their military exploits, their strength is getting stronger and stronger.

   Therefore, the Ottoman Empire united other ethnic groups and appointed Greeks, Serbs, Jews, Egyptians and even Persians as officials, which was originally to curb its own military group.

  Even the imperial guards who protected the emperor recruited people from Serbia and other places of different beliefs.

   And for any clan, it is even more killing.

  The reason why Suleiman respects Confucianism is precisely because he knows that it is only a temporary strategy to control the balance of power in this way, and Confucianism is just right for him.

   With the support of Suleiman, Confucianism began to penetrate many levels of the empire.

  Because the power within the Ottoman Empire was in a mess, and various beliefs and races were intertwined. Under the leadership of this powerful Suleiman, the Confucian scholars could be said to be like ducks in water.

  Because if the Ottomans were monolithic, they would have no use for them.

   Instead, such a fragmented situation gave them enough space.

Through the caravan, the situation of the Ottoman country has already spread throughout the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the pass. Many down-and-out Confucian scholars finally saw a promising road. At this time, they had to go west. They wanted to go to Ottoman to have a look. Find a way out.

   It is even heard that Osman has begun to hold imperial examinations, and the eight-legged essay is the main one.

  The road to the west is filled with many determined scholars. They followed the caravan and started a difficult journey.

   As for this, the prefect of Lanzhou reported it.

   This performance was reported to the court, and there was an uproar.

Scholars, no matter how talented they are, how much they have, or how much they are looked down upon by the people of Xishan Academy, but they are still the most prosperous group in the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years. Now a large number of them are traveling west. It is not my jewel, but it is discarded like a bag, but it is regarded as a treasure by the Ottomans?

Liu Jian, a senior scholar of the first assistant of the cabinet, felt that the situation was serious. If only scholars in twos and threes went west, it would be fine, but if there were more people, the impact would be great. Intend.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't weigh this.

Fang Jifan is happy to see this matter come to fruition. In his words, the responsibility of Confucianism is to spread holy learning. The Ottoman country has a large population and is the center of the world. Yes, it's a great thing.

  Give the Four Books and Five Classics to the Ottomans and take this opportunity to expand trade with them. Why not?

  Even Fang Jifan believes that this is something to be encouraged.

Facing the ministers below, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fang Qing's family has a saying that is quite to my liking. My Ming Dynasty has a large population. Moreover, since the increase in food production and the improvement of medical conditions, many families, one household has There are as many as four or five children, and as long as it takes less than a few decades, the population will reach its limit. In the long run, there is no solution. Therefore, if some people go to sea or go west, the world will be full of Han people. , and can spread the holy learning, why not? This is the hope of the saints. When the saints were alive, they would not hesitate to travel around the world and teach the holy learning everywhere in order to spread the holy learning. In this way, we have today, but now, this dignified Famous teachers, why do they only hide in their study rooms? Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is what Confucius and Meng sages did when they were alive. Now Confucian scholars are scrambling to go to Osman, and even For other countries, this is something worth advocating. Moreover, the Ottoman monarch sent people to pay tribute a few days ago, even respectfully. If I stop Confucian scholars from going west, it will be stingy, let them go."

   Liu Jian saw that His Majesty's mind was completely influenced by Fang Jifan at this time, he was fine, and he didn't think much of these people who could only do stereotyped essays.

  After all, it is not because of stereotypes that his son is so promising now.

  The other ministers, on the other hand, were in a different mood. They all looked sad, but at this time, it was inconvenient to say anything, as the rumors were too tight recently.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The old minister heard that Prince Taifu is still raising pigs? This matter has caused a lot of trouble. The prince has devoted himself to the court all his life, and he has nothing to do. I heard that when he became an official, he was actually a family man. No one in the royal family has ever received his favor. Now, when he was supposed to be caring for the rest of his life, he suffered such humiliation. Not only did he have to suffer poverty, but he also had to work in a lowly business and work with pigs and dogs. Your Majesty... also I hope that His Majesty will remember the old relationship between the monarch and his ministers... please be extra merciful."

  Perhaps it was the treatment of Confucian scholars, which really made people feel sorry. Zhang Sheng didn't dare to contradict His Majesty on the national policy, so he simply brought up the matter of Wang Ao.

  When everyone heard this, their faces, which had been depressed just now, were all ashen, and they all looked at Emperor Hongzhi with heavy eyes.

  His Majesty's current behavior is indeed a bit heartless.
