Wang Bushi then refused to speak and no longer paid attention to Liu Wenzhi.

Liu Wenzhi was not interested in making fun of himself anymore, so he sat down silently.

When the new stock was listed, as everyone expected, someone immediately approved the fundraising.

At this time, Liu Wenzhi began to sell 50% of his stocks.

For Liu Wenzhi, it is enough that he can leave 30% of it himself.

No matter how many, it becomes meaningless.

Then, something amazing happened.

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

You should know that these 50% of the shares are released in 50,000 shares, and the remaining 50% are Liu Wenzhi, and Zhou Tanzhi is 20,000 shares. The exchange will evaluate them based on their value and be used as a 13 tael of silver per share.

Therefore, the value of this pig farm is directly determined to be worth more than 1.3 million taels.

In a blink of an eye, the value has increased several times, so why isn’t it eye-catching?

But Liu Wenzhi had no expression on his face and could not feel the joy. He was quiet.

The recognition of value does not depend on how much money people think that pig farms are worth today, but on how big the prospects people see in the future.

With broad market prospects and almost no transcendent status of competition at present, it is even certain that in the next few years, it is probably difficult to find a real competitor. With this, Liu Wenzhi feels that the price... is not high.

Once the brand was opened, the stock price not only did not fall back and adjust, but began to soar upward.

Today, no one is short of money in this exchange, but what people lack is a good idea.

The vigorous investment in pig farms has enabled them to continuously expand production, give them sufficient funds and allow them to constantly replicate. Such a method is no longer new in the current exchanges.

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

So, enthusiasm began to drive.

Under everyone's attention, the stock price continued to rise, and the listed stock cards were constantly marked with the latest prices.

When the price reached twenty-five taels of silver, everyone couldn't help but start to take a breath.

The current exchanges do not have many restrictions, and they appear barbaric compared to later generations, so there will always be ups and downs. Most people are not very rational, and even many big merchants like to fuel the fire. But even so, at this time, it is rare for the stock price to double in a short period of time.

When Liu Wenzhi saw this, he was a little satisfied. He smiled slightly. With such a huge amount of funds, then a crazy expansion game began.

…………

Fang Jifan was sent away by Emperor Hongzhi. When he was about to leave the Meridian Gate, he saw a eunuch coming towards the Meridian Gate quickly, looking rash.

When Fang Jifan saw it, he knew that he was a eunuch who was squatting in the exchange and reporting to Emperor Hongzhi at any time. When the eunuch saw Fang Jifan, he quickly slowed down and then stood by the road. When Fang Jifan walked over, he rushed to the palace again.

Emperor Hongzhi felt a little uncomfortable with what Fang Jifan did, but after all, he was his son-in-law and could blame him privately. Of course, he could not dismantle his position on the surface, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb now.

After sending Fang Jifan away, as usual, he needed to call the ministers to discuss major events. Liu Jian and others had been waiting for a long time.

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

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

But when I waited around, there was no news.

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

I think there must be an answer to this matter.

But who expected that when His Majesty saw the ministers, facing everyone's expectant gaze, he never mentioned Wang Ao's affairs, and asked about the Confucian scholars' coming out of seclusion.

Many Confucian scholars suddenly lost their way out of the eight-legged essay, and because of bankruptcy and fame, they were desperate. However, the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman began to trade, and a lot of news came from the Ottoman.

It is said that in the Ottomans, a large number of Confucian scholars were valued. The Confucian scholars who had traveled west were valued. A large number of Confucian scholars began to enter the Ottoman court and even went deep into the Ottoman prefectures and counties. Even if they were not an official, some great nobles were willing to spend a lot of money to ask Confucian scholars to teach their children to read.

The Ottoman tribes live in a mixed world, and the gods they believe in are different.

Therefore, at this time, the Ottoman emperors were quite enlightened in all races and different beliefs. Whether they were Jews, Greeks, or other races, they were not too strict.

Even the Ottoman Empire was the royal family and relatives of its clan.

This is actually understandable. The Ottoman was extremely powerful. After more than ten generations, the biggest enemy was precisely the old nobles who had previously fought with the emperor. With their military achievements, their strength became stronger and stronger.

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire united other ethnic groups and appointed Greeks, Serbs, Jews, Egyptians and even Persians as officials, in order to curb the military merit groups of their ethnic groups.

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

And for any royal family, there are even more slaughtering.

The reason why Suleiman respects Confucianism is precisely because he knows that the balance of power is just a temporary solution, and Confucianism is just a favorable view.

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

And because of the power within the Ottoman Empire, it was already a mess, with all kinds of beliefs and races mixed in. Under the leadership of this powerful Suleiman, the Confucian scholars were like fish in water.

Because if the Ottomans were a piece of iron, they would have no place to use it.

Instead, this fragmented situation gives them enough space.

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

I even heard that the Ottoman had begun to hold imperial examinations and mainly focused on eight-legged essays.

The road to the west was filled with many determined scholars, who followed the caravan and embarked on a difficult journey.

And the Lanzhou prefect reported this.

The report was reported to the court, and it was in an uproar.

Scholars, no matter how talented they are, or how much they are, or how much they are looked down upon by the people of Xishan Academy, they are still the most favorable group in the Central Plains dynasty for hundreds or thousands of years. Now they are traveling west in large numbers. Isn’t this my pearl and jade, but I abandon it like a waste, and the Ottomans regard it as a treasure?

Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, felt that the situation was serious. It would be fine if the scholars were just traveling west in groups of three or three, but when there were too many people, the impact would be great. His suggestions in the memorial were to hope that the court would stop it and make other plans.

Emperor Hongzhi could not weigh the pros and cons of this.

Fang Jifan was happy to see this matter. In his words, the responsibility of Confucianism lies in spreading sages. The Ottoman country has a large population and is the center of the world. If we can also know rituals and music, it is an unprecedented thing and great contribution.

What's wrong with handing over the Four Books and Five Classics to the Ottomans and taking this opportunity to expand their trade with them?

Fang Jifan even believed that this was something worth encouraging.

Facing the ministers below, Emperor Hongzhi said: "There is a saying in Fang Qing's family that is quite good for my appetite. Our Ming Dynasty has a large population. Moreover, since the increase in grain production, medical conditions have improved. Many families have had four or five children in one household. It only takes less than a few decades. This population will reach its limit. It is not a solution for this long. Therefore, if people go out to sea or travel west, they can not only make the whole world have Han people, but also spread the saints' learning. What's wrong with this? This is the hope of the saint. When the saint is there, it is passed down.

To spread the holy learning, traveling around the countries and teaching holy learning everywhere, this is what we have today. But now, why do this famous religion only hide in our study? Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is what Saint Confucius and Saint Meng did when they were alive. Now Confucian scholars are rushing to go to the Ottomans and even to other countries. This is something worth promoting. Moreover, the king of the Ottoman Kingdom sent people to pay tribute a few days ago, and even respectfully, if I stop Confucian scholars from moving west, I will seem stingy. Let them go."

Liu Jian saw that His Majesty's thoughts were completely influenced by Fang Jifan, but he was fine. He didn't look down on these people who only knew how to write eight-legged essays.

After all, my son is so promising now, he doesn't rely on eight-legged essays.

However, the other ministers were in a different mood, all of whom looked sad, but at this time, it was inconvenient to say anything, and the news was too tight recently.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites, said: "I heard that the Grand Tutor, Prince, are still raising pigs? This matter has caused a lot of controversy. The prince devoted his life to the court and was clean and honest. I heard that when he retired, he was actually a disciple of his family. None of the Wang family members had ever received his favor. Now, he should have been in his old age, but he was so insulted. Not only did he be willing to suffer poverty, but he also needed to carry out a lowly career and be with pigs and dogs. Your Majesty... I hope Your Majesty will be very kind to you when he is in his prime."

Perhaps the treatment suffered by Confucian scholars was really a pity, and Zhang Sheng did not dare to contradict His Majesty on national policy, so he simply brought up Wang Ao's affairs.

When everyone heard this, their faces were depressed. At this moment, everyone looked like a dead gray, looking at Emperor Hongzhi with a deep look.
