Emperor Hongzhi was speechless after hearing the merchant's words.

But he still didn't understand and was wondering, but saw the merchant looking at him with a disgusting look, as if he was anxious to buy stocks.

Seeing that the merchant was bold, Xiao Jing was about to scold him.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have some stocks here, how about selling you thousands of stocks?"

The merchant's eyes suddenly lit up and his feet did not move again. He then glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and smiled.

Nowadays, whenever someone sells stocks, he is his own uncle, or he is still a close friend.

The merchant immediately said, "Brother..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the noisy scene and pulled him aside. From the corner, the exchange was still crowded and terrifying. People yelled hysterically at the rising prices. The people in the exchange had to fight to maintain order.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I still don't understand why... why... the stock price will soar when the prince ascended the throne. Please give me advice."

The merchant glanced at Emperor Hongzhi and felt that Emperor Hongzhi was really a bit "two".

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was willing to sell stocks, he cheered up: "This matter is not simple. Do you know what it looked like before Zhenguo Mansion? Maybe you were not from the capital before, so let's not say that there was no new city, no exchange, and no new policy of Baoding at that time. These ordinary merchants could not do anything at that time."

"Can't you make a deal?" Emperor Hongzhi said in surprise, and subconsciously frowned, but he still couldn't understand.

The merchant said: "If you want to do business, how easy is it? Think about it, a truck of goods needs to go from the capital to Nanjing. How many checkpoints do you need to go through along the way? If you take a waterway, you have to deal with the waterway inspection departments of many prefectures and counties along the way. Many places are high and the emperor is far away. If you meet someone who is easy to talk to, you can give some money to make some money. But if you encounter someone who is cruel, you will say something else. If you are not sure, you will still be sued. Therefore, people who can do business are all on the rise..."

He pointed to the smallpox.

Emperor Hongzhi understood this, and he said in surprise: "In the court..."

"Yes, the royal relatives and civil and military ministers in the court will not make things difficult for the checkpoints and prefectures along the way."

Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly turned pale.

In fact, at the beginning of his ascension, he had the idea of ​​taxing merchants because of the empty treasury. It was not that the court did not collect taxes on merchants, but Emperor Hongzhi discovered that these merchants were all rich enough to rival the country, but the taxes collected by the court were pitiful. But then, the ministers stopped him. Some were excited to shout that the emperor could not compete for profit with the people, and some told the emperor earnestly that if taxes were collected, they might suffer a huge disaster.

And now... Emperor Hongzhi understood.

In fact, there were no so-called merchants in the past, and the merchants were all fake. In fact, if you really want to do business, if you want to deal with it, you may not be able to spend all your wealth. This is just a matter of no grudge against others. If the business you do is compete with others, you may be dead.

When the merchant saw Emperor Hongzhi's surprise, he only said that Emperor Hongzhi had never seen the world. He smiled and continued, "But Zhenguo Mansion has come. In order to encourage merchants to transfer their fortunes, Zhenguo Mansion has set up personnel everywhere to investigate the troubles of merchants at this level. If such a thing happens, report it to Zhenguo Mansion immediately. His Royal Highness directly sent a knife to those bold guys. In just a moment, they can scare them to death."

"In this way, goods can be circulated. Merchants do business, reducing unnecessary risks. Of course... these... are just one of them. In this capital, there are so many business deals, which one was not brought up by Xishan. After that, everyone followed the prince and Duke of Qi to get a share of the pie. In this capital, there are all kinds of merchants, including Jiangxi merchants, Fujian merchants, Guangdong merchants, and even Hu merchants, but... do you know that there is also a Xishan merchant? This Xishan merchant does not mean that Xishan’s own business deals, and this Xishan merchants were mostly those in the past, the prince and Qi.

The Duke recruited a large number of refugees in Xishan. These refugees, His Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Qi, studied, cultivated their land, and cared for them. They were the first to see the world in Xishan and knew the benefits of doing business. So they went out independently and did business everywhere. The refugees recruited in Xishan were only tens of thousands of households, but there were many merchants of this origin, with thousands of people doing business. They talked about their hometowns, never talked about their origins, but only said that they came from Xishan. After a few times, they had a businessman in Xishan."

"Think about it, these refugees were hungry and cold at the beginning and couldn't even eat. They could not even starve to death if they could not read big words. However, because of the intake of the prince and Duke of Qi, they took out land in Xishan, gave them cultivation, and asked them to teach them how to read, write, and teach them the truth. From then on, they soared into the sky. Not to mention becoming the best people, they had such wealth. Among the merchants in the world, compared with other Jiangxi merchants, Fujian merchants, Shanxi merchants, and Shandong merchants, they should not be underestimated in terms of strength and quantity."

"Look, aren't these Prince and Duke of Qi the God of Wealth? Whoever gets involved with them will definitely make a fortune."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know... There is something like the Xishan Merchant in this world.

In his impression, he thought that only Xishan Jianye and Xishan Money House were.

These Xishan refugees who are separated from the Xishan system and go out to operate may be because they are close to the water and get the moon first, or they have received updated information than others. In addition, they are refugee and are willing to endure hardships... The many conditions combined, and they will make a fortune quickly, which is understandable.

"Over the years, although we business people have gained benefits from the new policy and earned a lot of money, but... before the Hongzhi Dynasty, merchants had a good life. No matter how long the court was, they were not in danger or earning money, they never felt at ease in their hearts... Although we dare to wear silk and satin now, this is just a superficial scenery, because no one can understand what happened in the court. Two years ago, did the Duke of Qi almost be assassinated? And His Royal Highness... Many people in the market are circulating, saying that the prince is not as good as a monarch?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, but suddenly realized that the merchant who was still very fond of this just now was still a cold-hearted man, but his eyes were red at this moment.

The merchant wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then sighed with emotion: "Hey... to be honest, before, the more money I earned, the less at ease I felt, I couldn't sleep for a night. People like us have no good endings in history. When officers and soldiers come, they want to blackmail. When bandits come, they want to rob. If there is any slightest movement, the first one will die is us. How did the rumors that the prince is not as good as the king? Isn't it that some people hope that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot succeed the throne, and it is best that the crown prince becomes the deposed crown prince. Why? Some people are still jealous and some don't like it. But the people who dare to say this are definitely not people who are good at ordinary times. I can't say that those people are in the court."

Emperor Hongzhi's face became colder and colder.

He squinted his eyes, and deep in his eyes, it was actually a stern.

He didn't say anything and continued to listen carefully to the merchant's words.

Xiao Jing was standing aside, but he was frightened. This merchant... knew too much! The factory guards dared not say nonsense, but he dared to say it!

The merchant continued, "Now, the old emperor abdicates and the new emperor ascends the throne. Our prince is in his prime. In the future, he may have to sit in the world for decades. He ascends the throne... Let's talk about villains, the villain's heart... is considered to be down-to-earth. We who do business dare not believe anyone's words, but there are only two people in the world. I believe what they say. Now... the prince becomes the emperor, and the Duke of Qi enters the pavilion, and our good days are here. To be honest, the merchants in this capital are not doing business on the surface, but actually hide a lot of money.

Don’t they know that if they take out the money, they can get rid of money and benefit? No, they know this principle more than anyone else, but... they don’t hide a sum of money and dare not sleep, they are afraid that one day when the court changes the rules, everyone will die without a place to die. But now... finally we don’t have to worry. With the prince and the Duke of Qi, we can do business with confidence. The new policy in the future will inevitably increase a lot of demand. In addition, there are so many private money hidden by so many people, and they happen to be taken out. If you don’t have money, what kind of business are you going to do? Haha..."

As he said that, the merchant laughed, as if his wife had been married for many years, and said, "Look at this exchange, everyone has confidence in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke of Qi. Once they have taken office, we can make a fortune together. What should be expanded in this workshop should be expanded, and what should be invested in. To be honest, I have been doing business for so many years, and I am not worried about not having the means to make money. How many business opportunities are there in the market."

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment and said, "But nowadays, people say that he is a saint..."

The merchant thought for a while and said, "The emperor is a good emperor today, but... he is so kind. Although there are many good policies, he always looks forward to it... ha... he can't say these, he can't say these, he wants to behead him. Forget it, you should keep your stocks yourself, it's not true. Concealed that this stock will definitely skyrocket and you will definitely make money. I won't buy you. Goodbye, goodbye."

The merchant looked at Emperor Hongzhi's "silly" look and seemed to be unable to bear to take the blame. He simply waved his hand and immediately squeezed into the crowd.

It doesn't look like a monarch...

Emperor Hongzhi stood there, murmuring in a low voice.

He had this idea, of course, this was a concern as a father.

But now it seems... there are many people... fanning the flames behind their backs.
