Chapter 268 The life of luxury after the rise of capitalism
Early the next morning.
Da Ming Securities Exchange posted a new notice.
The content of the notice is about the increase in the price of the public bonds of the Imperial Sea Trading Corporation to one dollar and five silver dollars per bond!
Although the officials and citizens of the Ming Dynasty who came to buy public bonds knew that they would not suffer losses by investing in Ming Dynasty Sea Trade, they did not expect to see the benefits so quickly.
"The one hundred silver dollars I bought can already earn five silver dollars?"
An ordinary employee looked at the bulletin board of the stock exchange and said in surprise, thinking that he could only earn one silver dollar a month, but he had earned five months' income on this day. The government bonds were so powerful. It’s up!
"Hey, the price of this public bond will actually increase! Hurry, go to the nearby bank branch to get some silver dollars, and I will buy some too!"
A squire who was originally hesitant to try this new method of financial transactions saw this and hurriedly gave instructions to his family.
Early on the third day.
Government bonds on the Ming Stock Exchange rose another seven percent.
As a result, more people came to buy bonds.
Some people did not believe that the rising bonds were real, so they tried to exchange them for silver dollars. Naturally, they successfully exchanged them for silver dollars, but they also paid a transaction tax.
But soon, these people regretted it and felt that they should not have taken it out and exchanged it for silver dollars. Not only did they lose a lot of money to pay taxes, they also missed the opportunity to make the value of the bonds in their hands higher.
then.
The Ming Dynasty people who had withdrawn money due to the rise in the price of government bonds the next day bought them back one after another, and this time they invested more money.
Early morning on the fourth day.
Because more and more people of the Ming Dynasty subscribed for public bonds, the price of Imperial Sea Trading Company public bonds on the Ming Stock Exchange rose again.
Capital from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, especially Guangzhou Prefecture, is flowing like water to the Imperial Sea Trade Corporation.
Even, there is no intention to stop.
Moreover, more and more people are crazy about subscribing.
……
At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't know that his 30,000 silver dollars had already earned him 6,000 silver dollars.
At this time, he was still intoxicated in the gentle countryside.
The phoenix robe and dragon robe fell to the ground.
Only one embroidered shoe was exposed at the foot of the bed, and another boot was pressed down by an exotic gauze skirt.
The sweat towel was hung on the red sandalwood frame at some point, but the bed was still swaying creakingly, and the black hair exposed on the bed curtain was shaken and fluttered around like a breeze.
"Your Majesty is really a powerful and powerful man. If you don't feel sorry for me, you must feel sorry for the two new sisters!"
After a long time, Concubine Su, who was three-quarters charming, seven-quarters pretty, and very satisfied, opened the red tent and shouted to the other side: "Come here, serve your Majesty to change clothes!"
Zhu Houzhao only said: "People say that young men are as fierce as tigers, so I am also a young man!" Then he stood up, spread his arms, and let the female officer serve and change his clothes.
Looking at the two exotic orchids curled up like lazy cats in the bed tent, Zhu Houzhao had to admit that he still didn't control himself. Originally, he just wanted to teach the two orchids to write Chinese characters and learn about Chinese culture last night, but he pinched the orchids. His hand touched his hand somehow, then he took off the sweat towel, threw it away, and did what he saw now.
As for when Concubine Su came in, Zhu Houzhao no longer knew, but he also thought of Haitian Shengyuan because of these two Hu Ji. He thought that at the advent of the colonial era, the Ming Dynasty's commodity economy was extremely developed and capital wealth increased rapidly. The emperor still couldn't control himself and started to indulge in money and money. I'm afraid those princes and ministers couldn't control themselves even more. I don't know how they would squander their money and indulge in pleasure.
"Go to Shouning Hou and ask for some tickets to Haitian Shengyuan. In the afternoon, we will go to Haojing incognito!"
Not long after Zhu Houzhao said that, Liu Jin left with the order, and not long after, Liu Jin came back and said, "Your Majesty, the public bonds on the stock exchange have gone up again!" "As expected," Zhu Houzhao continued to pinch as he spoke. Like orchids and mutton-fat jade He continued to practice calligraphy with his hands, but he still couldn't control himself. He unknowingly put his hands on the leg of the fiancée of the Prince of Venice. However, when he saw Concubine Su coming, he still restrained himself. Even this Hu Ji His hand didn't touch it anymore.
On the way from Guangzhou to Haojing, Zhu Houzhao heard all the news about public bonds. He also saw some squires in Guangdong transporting all their family property to Guangzhou to buy public bonds. Zhu Houzhao was naturally very satisfied with this and thought to himself Even if he is the emperor Emperor, it is difficult for these aristocratic families to take out the family property that has been accumulated for hundreds of years. Now, just a public bond coupon makes these people want to dig out the money hidden in the cellar to buy public bonds. It can be seen that if you want to make money, you still have to lure It’s all about profit.
After Zhu Houzhao arrived at Haojing, he first went to Haitian Shengyuan, a world with whitewashed walls and tiles on the outside but crystal glazed inside. Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling also followed him. Therefore, although Zhu Houzhao did not reveal his identity, the entire Haitian Shengyuan When the attendant saw that even his boss Shouning Hou was nodding and bowing beside him, he naturally did not dare to look down upon Zhu Houzhao.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao came in, he felt that the place was filled with fragrance. All kinds of orchids and Japanese women were wearing a layer of gauze, sticking to their jade skin, the same color as the white porcelain plate in their hands. There were even some singing and dancing orchid and Japanese women in the nurturing pavilion. The shy parts are not covered up, the sweet voices are lingering, the men and women have no regard for etiquette, and some are performing a drama just across the screen.
Zhu Houzhao even saw Jiao Gelao's brother-in-law working hard to push the cart through a bead curtain. At this time, an acquaintance came over, moved away from the back of a Japanese girl, and only moved a rosin-colored brocade to her waist. , came to Zhu Houzhao barefoot: "Brother, why are you here? Thank you Give me that coupon so that I can enjoy all the fun here. However, I also want to tell you some good news. I have made a fortune this time. The public bonds have been rising steadily. I have made more money these days. I have paid you four to five hundred silver dollars, and I will give you a banquet when you return to Guangzhou.”
Zhu Houzhao only smiled slightly, and without saying much to the scholar, he asked Zhang Heling to take him to a quieter place to sit. Zhu Houzhao himself couldn't bear this kind of place where wine pools, meat and forest, sensuality and sex, but at this time, he saw Mr. Jiao Ge's The brother-in-law seemed to have finished his work. He opened the bead curtain and shouted: "Jiao Da, you go back to Guangzhou overnight and buy him another 10,000 silver dollars in government bonds!"
Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao just smiled and said to Zhang Heling: "This brother-in-law from Jiaoge's hometown is quite fast."
"Who are you talking about? Do you know who I am? I think you don't want to live anymore, right?" Jiaoge's brother-in-law obviously heard Zhu Houzhao's words and walked down directly, shaking the short thing. , pointed at Zhu Houzhao and asked.
Zhu Houzhao felt that this was really unsightly, so he had to look away.
As for Jiaoge's old brother-in-law, it was no coincidence that he saw Zhu Houzhao's face. In addition, it might be his first time to come to Haitian Shengyuan, and because his brother-in-law was once the chief minister of the cabinet, he became even more angry: " You kneel down and kowtow to me, and this matter will be over. Otherwise, I will not let you go. To tell you the truth, my brother-in-law is Mr. Jiao Ge!”
People from Haitian Shengyuan didn't dare to come over to persuade Zhang Heling when they saw him at the scene.
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that he would be threatened by one of Jiao Fang's brother-in-law, so he couldn't help but laugh.
"How dare you laugh!"
Seeing this, Jiao Fang's brother-in-law became even more angry and was about to explode. Zhang Heling stood up quickly and said, "Master Mei, this is the Marquis of Shouning. Do you know who you are talking to now? This young master is not you." Can be messed with.”
"Marquis Shouning, there's no need to say more. It's noon now, so let's go eat first." Zhu Houzhao shook his head as he spoke.
At this time, Mr. Mei shouted: "What are you afraid of messing with, Lord Marquis? My brother-in-law dotes on my sister the most. Although my brother-in-law has retired from office now, he is still your Majesty's most valued minister. How can he still do it?" You are older than my brother-in-law. Of course, I don’t dare not give you the face of Hou Ninghou. However, this young master just said something to humiliate me. You can’t just let it go. You have to at least ask my brother-in-law if he agrees!”< br>
As Mr. Mei spoke, he opened the bead curtain and walked in.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao heard a cough in the bead curtain, and then he only heard Jiao Fang's voice. He said feebly: "Even the distinguished guests of Shouning Hou cannot humiliate my Jiao Fang people like this. Even if I have already Although he has become an official, he still has the power of his legacy. Could it be that Shouning Hou’s distinguished guests don’t take me seriously?”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this. He only said to Liu Jin: "Stay here and deal with this matter. I don't want to see Jiao Fang like this, lest the emperor and his ministers will be extremely embarrassed!"
< br>
Zhu Houzhao said that he was about to leave first, but at this time, he heard Mr. Mei shouting: "Don't leave! Brother-in-law, it's him, it's this young man who uses words to humiliate me. Although it's me who is humiliated, it hurts It’s your face!”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but stop and turned around slowly, with only a hint of a smile.
Jiao Fang also hurriedly took her hand out of the Japanese girl's shoulder and put on her reading glasses: "Let me see who it is."
Mr. Mei also raised his head at this time.
And Zhang Heling couldn't help but sigh. Even though he was a relative and had nothing to do with a bureaucratic family like the Jiao family, he couldn't help but sweat for Jiao Fang.
Liu Jin couldn't help but touch his eyebrows, and just smiled, thinking that this old Jiaoge was really out to play at such an old age, and he would be scared to death later if he wasn't beaten to death.
Jiao Fang put on her reading glasses and glanced at Zhu Houzhao. She was stunned at just one glance. She could not help but tremble immediately, and then she was about to kneel down. Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao made a gesture to stop Jiao Fang from kneeling down to beg. Instead of forgiving, he saluted Jiao Fang: "I've met Mr. Ge!"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was so respectful to his brother-in-law, Mr. Mei became even more proud: "Now you know how to plead guilty? Why don't you kneel down!"
Snap!
Jiao Fang didn't know where she got the strength, so she slapped Mr. Mei on the spot: "You bastard! Who gave you the courage to make trouble here? Come on, drag this bastard out and beat him to death! Beat him to death immediately!"
