Chapter 491.

Chen Deng laughed out loud.

But his smile was quickly replaced by an even louder noise.

Someone has already started to bid up to sixteen taels.

Those who had previously made large purchases were ecstatic.

There is such a good deal in the world, and in the turn of a hand, you have earned 60%.

And those who didn’t make the purchase, it was as if they had lost touch with great wealth at the drop of a hat.

The feeling is enough to teach a hundred claws.

Above all, they had silver; they had large sums of silver on hand that they desperately needed to spend.

At the same moment, the fellow, who was in this store, was stopped, and an eager inquiry was made as to when the next sale of shares in the ship’s company would be required.

Others, still, are still haggling with people who are pinching stocks in their hands.

Those who pinched their stocks still refused to sell at this time, even though the stock price was quite high.

Joking, so many people want to buy, and this stock is rare, they hold in their hands, they do not worry about selling, then …… why do they still want to sell?

The saying that the higher you go, the more you have to hold, the fewer shares there are in circulation in the market, is actually true.

The seekers, on the other hand, are many.

Someone actually directly shouted out a high price of twenty taels.

Of course, those who shout this kind of price are by no means looking for a large-scale purchase of twenty taels of grain silver, just want to buy some.

In the ear room, Zhu Di watched his heart pounding, never thought that things would come to such a degree.

Zhang Anshi on the side, but in a fine voice: “Your Majesty, these people have silver, but can not continue to invest in the land, now …… will have to find a camp, so that their family, to be able to maintain. Ma Yu this scholar, is to see this, so these days, daily dealings with them, in fact, is in patience to explain to them the profitability prospects of the shipyard.”

Zhu nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Anshi continued, “As long as this prospect is made clear, and it is made clear how vast the future market and profitability will be, these people are also smart, and will soon be able to learn by example, and will be able to understand the laws of this, and will also be able to realize that there must be room for profit.”

“Because of this, so ten taels of silver a share, although the price is high, but …… this a bet, but can try. After all, …… with a small bo big, if it is true as Ma Yu said, the future as long as the shares, then …… can lie down and dividends, which for these readers, is really a hundred miles without a harm.”

Zhu Di said, “You say this, I also understand, the original these people, the heart is actually thinking about this.”

Zhang Anshi continued, “But …… when this Chen Deng revealed that Your Majesty and my minister are also related to the shipping line ……”

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this.

Zhang Anshi continued, “In fact, it stimulated the market instead.”

“What is the reason for this?” Zhu looked surprised and curious.

So Zhang Anshi said: “Because the purpose of the previous readers, is to purchase shares, these people are all human, even if the talk of the sky, they know that the prospect, although attractive, but the risk is not small. After all, to hand over the silver in the hands of others, not to mention, if the future of the ship can not be profitable? But know that the Qixia merchant bank also into the shares, is another kind of thinking, even His Majesty and the minister are into the shares, then …… this Ma’s boat line, will not dare to roll money and flee? Secondly, if it’s not because this is a profitable business, why would His Majesty and I participate in this business?”

“Consequently, this is equal to them, originally through the purchase of shares, to their future to a big gamble. But became, this a sale, become more secure, both safe, but also have a windfall, then …… such a stock, he buy or not?”

When Zhu Di heard this, he instantly realized, and could not help but say, “I thought ……”

Zhang Anshi saw that Zhu Di did not continue, but smiled and said: ”Your Majesty must be thinking that they must be deterred when they learn that Your Majesty and my minister are related to this Ma’s shipping company! Your Majesty …… This is actually what I want to prove to Chen Deng, that what people think goes to what people think, and interests go to interests. To carry out the New Deal is to allow the living people of the world to be able to establish their lives!”

“To put it bluntly, it is to safeguard their interests, while making the social realm secure. As for any other rituals, any agreed-upon rules, in front of the living people’s eating and dressing, everything is a sham, and people like Chen Deng, who try to utilize the so-called rituals or virtues to create any kind of chaos, are in fact nothing more than a praying mantis blocking a car, a mayfly shaking a tree.”

“By the same token, these readers, yesterday, could have swarmed and tried to oppose the New Deal because it had spoiled their interests. Then today, as usual, he can also defend his own stock for the sake of his interests.”

Zhu suddenly said, “If each share twenty two, then …… Qixia merchant bank has thirty percent of the stock, the value of geometry?”

Zhang Anshi said, “If I did not calculate wrongly …… then, it is six million taels of grain silver.”

Zhu Di listened to it and laughed: “This Ma Yu …… I see that he is not just a scholar, he should be a prime minister, such a person called a phase, any son of heaven will like it.”

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but laugh.

Zhang Anshi said, “But …… I thought that …… twenty taels is just an appetizer.”

“Hm?” The smile on Zhu Di’s face hadn’t dissipated yet, but he was gazing at Zhang Anshi, “What is the reason for this?”

Zhang Anshi said: ”For one, the prospect of sea trade is, after all, tantalizing. Over the past few years, the demand for sea trade has been extremely great, because of this, so the direction of Ma Yu absorbing more money and ordering more sea ships is correct, and now the so-called sea trade of my Daming has actually not yet been developed by 10%, and in the future, the closer my Daming is linked to the various clans in the world, the more such fleets will inevitably be needed.”

“The second is, Ma Yu this person, well versed in the way of management, once he raised enough funds, then more ships, create more profits, and ultimately can make the shareholders get more dividends, just a matter of time. So …… I thought, even if twenty two a share, the future as long as there is no big mistake, then it will also rise, that is, thirty, forty, or even fifty, one hundred two may not be impossible.”

Zhang Anshi spoke with conviction.

After all, in this era, the sea trade is the sunrise industry, and what is missing now is enough money, and the accumulation of capital.

Whoever finishes first gets the biggest piece of this cake.

In the distance, Wu Tong has been supporting the ears to listen, once heard the future fifty, one hundred taels and so on words, face slightly moved ……

At this time, Zhu Di said, “If so, ten taels of silver sold shares, it is a pity.”

Zhang Anshi laughed, “Words can’t be said like that, your majesty, all of these prospects are under the premise that the shipping line has enough silver to be able to order more seagoing ships, if there is no such thing as these ten taels a share, in the future, it will not be possible for them to grow to white taels a share, a single bite will not be enough to make a fat man.”

When Zhu Di heard this, he also couldn’t help but laugh: “It’s quite reasonable to say so.”

It was getting late and the readers were already dispersing.

Zhang Anshi turned to Chen Li and said, “Take this Chen Deng down.”

Chen Li understood and hurriedly led his men to capture Chen Deng.

At this time, Chen Deng, but as if the whole person was drained, he saw from the body of those readers, which made him feel the feeling of hopelessness of the future.

So, like a sheep, he was dragged and escorted away.

Ma Yu, on the other hand, had already appeared, and came to Zhu Di’s front, saluting.

Zhu Di at this time on the horse Yu’s impression is better, nodded at him: “I listen to Zhang Qing said, you are very good at operating the way of the scholar, I initially still do not believe, and now I know that the original really have a few points of competence.”

Ma Yu, however, said, “Your Majesty, I’m actually not good at the business approach.”

Zhu said, “Oh?”

He still looked at Ma Yu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Ma Yu thought for a moment and said, “What I am good at, but it is only because of the situation, such as these readers, if it is not because of His Majesty’s opening of the sea trade, not because of the kings of the world to suppress the feudal lords, this sea trade …… is naturally the moon in the well, but it is just empty talk. It is because of the new government, so the sea trade water to the canal, students take this opportunity, only today’s Ma’s merchant bank.”

“By the same token, if it were not for the fact that the imperial grandson was here, and had absorbed a large number of readers, and because of the new policy, so that they did not dare to invest their gold and silver in the land any more, then even if the student had shouted his throat out, there would never have been any willingness to purchase the student’s stock. All this, there is cause and effect, the student by a fluke, saw the general trend, and thus followed the trend.”

Zhu Di sized up Ma Yu carefully and seemed to have a new understanding of this Ma Yu.

Ma Yu This is both modest, but also Zhang Anshi and Zhu Zhanji complimented a pass, this Ma Yu talk …… is good.

Zhu Di said: “Qing’s words, not unreasonable, but that said, can see the situation, can make the best use of the people, and how many people? The majority of people in the world, after all, or hindsight is just.”

Ma Yu said, “This is the benefit of reading, reading can know the past and present.”

Zhu Di lost his smile and said, “There are many readers in the world, and there are not many ministers like this.”

Ma Yu said, “Some people study for the sake of merit, while others may just want to grow their insights.”

Zhu said, “Make an effort!”

Ma Yu said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Zhu Di did not reward him, but that was enough for Ma Yu.

Qixia merchant bank holding 30% of the shares, plus your majesty this endeavor to strike the three words, it means that Ma’s ship line, the next can be bold, after absorbing more funds, will be a large number of acquisition of new ships, and at the same time, as a background, with all the clan to carry out a wider range of cooperation.

In the future, this Ma’s boat company will be the first boat company in the world, and there will be no two ways about it.

A deal that can do this is only good enough to go down in history.

Zhu turned to Zhang Anshi and said, “Pry Chen Deng’s mouth open.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Obey the decree.”

Zhang Anshi left in a hurry.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, had his hands behind his back and turned around, only to realize that Wu Tong was still there.

Zhu stared at Wu Tong, who was furious.

Zhu spoke slowly, “There is no need to be afraid; when you come to Hezhou, live your life here well.”

Wu Tong felt the sound of his beating heart and busily said, “Yes, yes.”

Zhu Di also said: “the world are my people, I have no preconceptions about anyone, just I want to implement the new policy, is for the ancestral foundation, but also for the well-being of the world’s people. If someone’s mantis blocking the car, I naturally will not be polite, but if it is like you, can be peaceful, I will never harm.”

Wu Tong said warily, “Grasshopper understands.”

Zhu Di looked at Wu Tong this way, but was afraid that he had scared this Wu Tong out of good, so he waved his hand and said, “And go.”

Wu Tong was busy saluting and retiring.

Zhu Di then swept a glance at the others, smiled and said, “All the ministers …… tomorrow, set up a ride back to the capital! I and all the ministers, in this and the state, stayed too much time, I am too old ……… to suffer such a bumpy ride.”

Yang Rong and the others said yes.

Zhu Di and lamented: “I ascend to the pole, there have been more than twenty years, these twenty years, but also quite diligent, killed many people, but also always …… not insulted Taizu high emperor, there are some achievements. And now, there are people who presumptuously want to seek usurpation, such as Chen Deng, such as the wolves and wild-minded people …… I am bound to these people a net hit, before I can eliminate my hate.”

He steered the conversation to Chandon.

But the ministers were speechless.

Zhu Di, however, didn’t care about their reactions and waved his hand, “Go back to the line first and wait for news from Secretary Zhang.”

…………

Chanden was brought back to the Centurion.

Here, no shackles were put on him.

Zhang Anshi ordered him to be placed in the duty room of the Hundred Households, and ordered some refreshments to be prepared for him.

At this time, it was dark and an oil lamp was lit in the duty room.

The lights were waning, but Chen Deng’s face, however, was already as pale as paper.

The tea was already cold, but he had been sitting motionless without making a single sound.

At this time, Zhang Anshi paced and came, one side said: “Chen Gong body already have injuries, this time and outside the bumpy day, must be hard, this king let people give you some tea and cakes to fill your stomach, but Chen Gong but why is the drop of water did not enter?”

Chen Deng subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Zhang Anshi, but he couldn’t seem to find a trace of glimmer in his eyes.

Zhang Anshi then sat down opposite him and said casually, “Is it Chen Gong who has something on his mind?”

Chen Deng pursed his lips and finally said, “Your Highness’ meaning, I understand.”

Zhang Anshi said, “This king has always admired Chen Gong, after all, Chen Gong is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, can give up fame and fortune, and can withstand such torture, still do not change their minds, which is unusual people can not do.”

What Zhang Anshi said was originally the thing that Chen Deng was most proud of.

After all, there are people who value fame more than anything else, and for the sake of fame, they will give up their fame and fortune, and the mighty cannot yield, which in itself is the embodiment of the so-called bones of the wind and the bones of the people, which is the most highly regarded by Confucianism.

And this …… Chen Deng did do.

But …… this time, Chen Deng did not feel that what he was proud of was admired even by his enemies, and he could not see any color of relief on his face, but he was dejected and looked all discouraged.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “If Lord Chen has anything on his mind, he may as well talk about it.”

“Everything is meaningless.” Chen Deng closed his eyes with a weary look on his face and then said, “Those who are lingering for a long time only seek a quick death.”

Zhang Anshi said, “It seems that Chen Gong still intends to say nothing? Is it to be honest with your friends, or …… still think …… that those of your cohorts can continue to get away with it and still still succeed?”

Only then did Chen Deng slightly open his eyes, he looked at Zhang Anshi lifelessly, and in his eyes, there was a color of numbness.

Zhang Anshi gazed at him and said, “This king will interrogate you for the last time, if you respond honestly, then …… this king can promise here that this king will spare your clan, your clan, will Yang sail out to sea, to the new continent, you can let them live incognito, in short, they can at least live a a peaceful life, and the crimes you have committed and pursued to your body will end here.”

Zhang Anshi looked straight at Chen Deng, taking in any subtle expression on his face as he continued, “But if you still still refuse to speak, then it doesn’t matter, the next step is for the factory guards to follow the rules.”

Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: “Do not think, you hide those things, this king can not find out, this world as long as the things that have done, can always find a breakthrough, it is just a matter of time. Just …… you no matter how to hide, your things will not succeed, at most, but to the factory guards to create some small trouble. But these troubles, and can not make the court hurt.”

“The reason why this king has given you such favorable conditions and only exiled your clan is because this king admires you, Duke Chen; right or wrong, at least Duke Chen’s emotion is always worth promoting.”

Chen Deng raised his eyes and looked seriously at Zhang Anshi, his face moved slightly, the party seemed to be dead silent in the eyes, at this time there seems to be a little something different.

After a long time, he actually said, “I have a family of thirty-seven.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Thirty-seven people can go to Xinzhou. Only Lord Chen, this is a big matter, I’m afraid he won’t survive. But it doesn’t matter, when the time comes, this king will personally supervise and send Duke Chen on his way, guaranteeing that it will be dry and painless.”

Zhang Anshi had spoken directly, but had shown his utmost sincerity!

Chen Deng s lips quirked for a moment, and he had to forcefully close his eyes before he slowly opened his mouth and said, “Your Highness, please ask …….”

Zhang Anshi, however, said, “Why, won’t Lord Chen teach this king to make an oath?”

Chen Deng shook his head and said meaningfully, “Your Highness is different from the rest of the factory guards.”

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but look a bit surprised, and then said, “Good, come on, fetch a pen and ink and prepare to record.”

After preparing everything, Zhang Anshi took his seat and looked at Chen Deng, “Chen Deng, this king asks you, are you demonizing the people?”

Chen Deng said dryly, “Yes.”

Zhang Anshi asked again, “How many articles have you written?”

“Thirty-three articles.”

“Who authorized this?”

“Indignation.” Chanden said.

Zhang Anshi frowned up, “It wasn’t directed and authorized by someone?”

“No.” Chen Deng continued to shake his head and continued, “It was indeed someone Chen who went on his own.”

Zhang Anshi’s frown deepened as he said, “No accomplices?”

“There are.” Chen Deng said, “It’s just that all of these accomplices, have been captured by the Brocade Guards, and some of them are responsible for delivering the articles, and some …… also ……”

Zhang Anshi rose up expansively, he felt as if he was being teased, tensed his face and said angrily, “Where are the rest of the cohorts?”

Chen Deng calmly said, “Your Highness and don’t be anxious, about this demonic talk, it is indeed the old man’s main opinion. Only halfway …… but something happened.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”
