When Liu Wenchang heard the shopkeeper's explanation, he immediately became awe-inspiring.

I heard that a group of people with golden fingers had appeared in the Jinyiwei.

Whenever gold and silver are in their hands, their speed of verification can be described as abnormal.

Unexpectedly, today I saw it with my own eyes.

Liu Wenchang said to Manager Zhang: "With so many talents in this money house, why worry about whether the big thing will be accomplished?"

This is a pretty word, but this is actually the truth.

You know, although gold and silver are precious metals, calculating their value is also a very troublesome thing in this era.

Because different gold and silver have different colors, and the weight of the scale may also vary slightly.

After all, there are no precise electronic scales in this era, so they have high requirements for human abilities.

Many people are prone to disputes when trading, which is also a factor.

If you take out the silver, people think that you have a lot of impurities, but everyone can't tell the difference. After all, this involves interests, so there is no need to argue.

After getting the money, Liu Wenchang took out one with great interest.

I saw that the printed paper was quite exquisite, but the ink seemed a bit special. Of course, it was impossible to print particularly complicated things on the ink, so it was replaced by the number of money. One line was written with the words "100 taels of silver" and the money house mark was marked on the bottom. In addition, there was also the number of money, and the seal on the top was a square seal of the silver house.

There are many details in this small banknote, and Liu Wenchang only thinks that the printing is extremely exquisite. At least nowadays, ink and paper alone are extremely rare.

After reading it, he collected the money and said neatly: "Go."

Then, behind him, people from the Liu family followed him with bags of money and rushed out of the money house.

As soon as he came out, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Finally someone recognized him. The man rushed forward excitedly, bowed to Liu Wenchang first, and then said, "I have met Mr. Liu."

Liu Wenchang said in confusion: "You are..."

The man hurriedly said humbly: "Student Zhang Sheng, Mr. Liu, most nobles forget about things. When the student was a student in the Imperial College, Mr. Liu's father was sick, but came to visit the students in the prison. At that time, Mr. Liu helped Mr. Liu. At that time, the student was so excited that he could not suppress his style. He still couldn't forget it. As for Mr. Liu's filial piety, the student..."

When Liu Wenchang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that he really didn't recognize this person. He probably just saw him from a distance.

Although many people have met Liu Hongxun at the level of the temple, and at the level of Shangshu and Shishou, many people may still be friends with Liu Hongxun, like Zhang Jingyi, who can chat and talk nonsense at will.

But for the people here, it is really a glance from afar. Even if you really say a sentence, it is enough to brag about it for half your life.

Therefore, this man named Zhang Sheng was full of red faces and came over to say hello in a low voice. He was still elegant and could see through it.

Liu Wenchang nodded at him implicitly.

And the onlookers started talking.

He is really the son of the Liu family. I really didn’t expect that... Mr. Liu’s son... also came to do this... aren’t he afraid of affecting his family’s voice?

However, some people seem to be very energetic, and even the young master of the Liu family comes here. This proves... Is this stock market more promising in the future?

But... although everyone's faces were full of various expressions.

But most people dare not speak casually, at most they just whisper.

Liu Wenchang did not shy away, and took the people straight to the counter in front with a calm look on his face, and then said, "Has this new stock opened?"

“Selling at noon.”

"Is it Liaodong Mining?"

“That’s right!”

After asking about the price of the new stock, Liu Wenchang frowned slightly and pondered for a long time.

He was obviously muttering and calculating in his heart.

After a long time, he actually looked up and nodded, "After the noon sale, all the new shares, my money here... is as much as I can buy... the money is here, so you can exchange it for me according to this number!"

As he said that, he ordered the person who followed him to put bags of money directly on the counter.

Suddenly, many people were in a state of excitement.

How much money does this cost?

Someone whispered: "I heard that there are 100 taels of money. After so many money, these packs are really 100 taels of money. If you say this, then... maybe... this is probably not less than a million taels."

"How come I buy mining, why not buy railway companies?"

"Will there be any good news?"

"I think I'm confused, according to my calculations..."

For a moment, people had different opinions.

But when everyone looks at this young master of the Liu family again, it is more of a joke.

Because...how does this look like a prodigal son?

How could I buy it like this?

All fools know that the railway company is the real hottest one.

Although there are many so-called "good news" in the mining industry, in fact, many "good news" are castles in the air.

For example, how many ores can be protruded?

How to mine these ores?

How many labor can be recruited in that icy and snowy place?

Recruiting labor...how can the mine be transported out?

There are really too many variables.

But Liu Wenchang turned a deaf ear to this, so people have begun to count it here.

After that... the amount of silver was calculated.

As soon as noon arrives, the market will officially open.

One by one, one stock after another was delivered to Liu Wenchang in front of him.

Liu Wenchang had no doubts and was very generous and directly carried someone to carry his bag. He left in the eyes of countless people.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

But... what is left to many people is countless doubts.

"It's true that he is the young master of the Grand Secretary. He is so willful."

"He doesn't understand stocks, and he doesn't over-count dividends..."

"I am immersed in the stock market for 123rd. As soon as the railway company's stocks were sold, I have been studying it. I dare not say that I have any gains, but I also have some experience. Today, Mr. Liu...ah..."

Here, there are many "old stock investors".

After tasting the sweetness, these people search for the stock market every day.

What is the dividend calculation method? This is from the business research school, which specializes in the turnover, net profit and cost of railway companies. Then, based on these, calculate the rise and fall of stocks.

There are also good people, which are emotional people. It rains heavily. Good, good railways. After the heavy rain, the roads are difficult to move. Steam locomotives drive on the railway tracks and ignore the heavy rain. The future railway business will surely flourish.

There will be no heavy rain and the weather will be cloudless. Okay, the sun is so good, and consumption will definitely increase greatly. Many merchants need to transport goods.

There were some problems with the railway tracks, and the steam locomotive was delayed for more than four hours. Well, if the steam locomotive was delayed, a large amount of goods would inevitably be blocked. Then the goods that they still wanted to traffic in the future would definitely accumulate like mountains. These piles of goods must be rented from the railway company's warehouse. Isn't this a huge benefit? If it rises, it will definitely rise.

To be honest, no matter which school of research is currently there is a consensus, that is, to buy railways and make sure to make a profit.

And so far, none of them have been slapped in the face, which has made people from all schools stand up straight.

On that day...the railway stocks did soar.

This time the good news came from the establishment of the exchange.

Exchanges make trading extremely convenient, and indeed many people who were originally waiting and watching also gritted their teeth and entered the stock market.

There are only two stocks at present, one is railway and the other is mining. So everyone knows what to buy.

Therefore, in one day, the railway rose by nearly 10%. Although it is no longer as popular as the four times the day it once was, it is enough to make countless people smile.

As for Mr. Liu, looking at the new mining stocks, it seems that they are still in the issuance stage and people subscribe to them. I know if so many new stocks can be sold.

So... everyone couldn't help but make fun of it.

The son of a grand cabinet minister is not as good as me, which is a very pleasant thing for many people.

…………

Emperor Aoki, who was in the palace, was of course very concerned about the exchange.

In one day, he had already secretly asked about the situation on the exchange many times.

I heard that everything is stable, and today's trading volume is extremely high and the stock price has also risen sharply, so Emperor Tianqi has also felt much more at ease.

At noon, he summoned everyone to discuss the trade matters of the new policy, and immediately sacked and checkpoints.

The lifting of the checkpoint was proposed by Huang Liji.

In the past, the imperial court set up checkpoints everywhere, and all people's movements needed to be guided before they could be released. However, merchants often used the method of 10 draws to one in ten, that is, directly to collect goods as taxes.

Of course, this brought many problems. On the one hand, there were more and more refugees, which hit the levels, and even the levels of the imperial court were useless.

It would be fine if it was useless. On the books, the court still kept tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from various levels. The money and grain... spent it, it was like wasted.

If it is abolition, some expenses can be reduced.

On the other hand, the so-called commercial tax is actually unreasonable, because ordinary merchants and officers and soldiers at the level often extort, not just one draw in ten, but you just wish you could take away all the goods. If you don’t have a bribe, you can’t pass the test at all.

On the other hand, the goods from some officials, businessmen or gentry families can be unobstructed and no one dares to draw goods.

In this way, the so-called commercial tax in the court almost meant a loneliness, because ordinary merchants are gone and trafficking goods will not be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? Just fools are leaving goods.
