Research Institute, Zhang Anshi is not going there for the time being.

But the exchange is going hard.

Of course, he didn’t go to the exchange to trade; after all, trading needed to be done behind the scenes, with many people secretly working on his behalf.

His appearances are more like a one-time smoke screen.

Every time the people of the exchange saw this His Highness coming again, for a moment, they did not know whether there was another change or not. Thus, on the occasion of racking their brains, guessing the possible rise and fall this time, while behind the scenes, Zhang Anshi has long been openly repairing the inns, secretly.

All along, the merchants have been extremely trusting of Zhang Anshi, after all, …… Zhang Anshi can really bring everyone to get rich.

But this time, it was obvious that this His Highness the King of Song was eating alone, coupled with the various news about Zhang Anshi’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering, so much so that hearts began to scatter.

And Zhang Anshi didn’t care about that much.

Still doing what I do.

Lau Kee Merchants.

Liu Lu gets up every morning, still first reads the day’s diwai.

Usually at this time, after a cup of tea is finished, this diary is finished, and immediately afterward, he has to go out and inspect his own property.

He was preparing to go out, at this time, the steward of the hurriedly came, with a few anxious said: “Master, cotton prices …… some days ago after a big rise, today suddenly fell a lot of …… Now the exchange there, many people see the wind direction is not right! Now the exchange there, many people see the wind direction is not right, have all been selling, the price fell again and again. Only now do I realize that, in fact, yesterday, someone took advantage of the cotton yarn is still at a high level, quietly shipping out, today only someone noticed …… moncler …… us …… ”

Liu Lu was shocked when he heard this.

Because some time ago, the price of cotton spinning rose greatly, many people ate into a lot of cotton yarn, after all, this thing, suitable for storage, and these years, the demand for cotton spinning is also higher and higher.

One of the businesses of Liu Ji Trading Company is to sew garments and supply bedding! Liu Lu saw that the current market is so good, naturally, also let a person to purchase a lot, but the purchase price, but at a high level.

He frowned up and looked at the steward, “What’s the price now?”

The steward said bitterly, “It’s already at 90% of yesterday’s listed price.”

Don’t look at the drop of 10%, but for the bulk of cotton spinning only, this is already considered a plunge.

Liu Lu immediately revealed a look of flesh pain, in the twinkling of an eye, he had lost more than 40,000 taels of silver.

Of course, 40,000 taels of silver for Liu Ji such a large merchant bank, is nothing, but this is also real money ah, this real money for merchants and traders, is a precious thing, even if it is resting in the hands, do not know how much can be solved urgency.

The most important thing is, originally Liu Lu has been judging, cotton products these days only afraid to go up, where know, actually fell.

So Liu Lu said in astonishment, “Can there be any other news? Did it just suddenly fall?”

The steward then said, “There’s no news coming in yet, but rumor has it that someone should have already learned of the news in advance, so they hurriedly sold off the cotton spinning in their hands, which triggered the plunge.”

“Again, the news was learned in advance?” Liu Lu’s face went white for a few moments, he only felt his brain buzzing, and his heart actually felt a few moments of powerlessness.

Doing business …… Liu Lu has not been afraid of anyone, he is also regarded as a white hand, but it is an unusual tenant farmer origin, and thereafter to a small inn proprietor as a fellow, because of good looks, people and shrewd, was the proprietor of the house, they will be their own daughter married to Liu Lu.

After that, Liu Lu relied on the inn to save up a little silver, borrowed the east wind of the new policy, coupled with their own business vision, quickly began to expand, from ready-made clothes to inns, restaurants, and then to the carriage house and so on the sale, he is involved in, and now he has been considered the Qixia business giant, at least is considered to be counted in the number of one person.

Liu Lu’s confidence in business is by no means empty, after all, he has been doing business for so many years, has a unique vision and a special sensitivity.

Plus, after so many years in the business world, he has been through quite a few storms.

But now …… he suddenly had an indescribable feeling of powerlessness.

As if, he knew that there is a rival in the market, but this rival, invisible and intangible, no matter how they calculate, how smart and strong, even if they make every effort to make how accurate judgment, but the other side seems to have the same fairy law, always be able to foretell what will happen tomorrow, so that Liu Lu everywhere a step slower.

As this cotton spinning fell, if not someone learned the news in advance, desperately selling, if only according to the market situation, Liu Lu perhaps after a few days, will be able to judge in the cotton spinning hot after this cotton spinning price, there may be a certain adjustment, and therefore, after a few days …… he may also be able to sell some, out of some goods.

Unfortunately, now someone faster and more accurate judgment, quickly out, directly sell, and at this time, even if Liu Lu hindsight want to ship, it is too late.

Because the price has fallen, if the low price to ship, that is a blood loss, can continue to hold on, the future market, under the other side of the sale, and become uncertain.

Liu Lu’s heart was full of tangles. This is the first time that he has developed this kind of clueless powerlessness, and this kind of powerlessness is not out of his body alone.

At this moment, many of the merchants and businessmen in Qixia can empathize.

The original business sense is no longer useful, and all the calculations and tactics seem like child’s play.

Liu Lu heartache is not 40,000 taels of silver, he is pained, he is proud of the business of the scripture, now in the form of waste paper, and now almost being led by the nose, can not move, quite a bit of the flavor of the heroes of the late twilight.

“Hey ……,” Liu Lu sighed long and quietly.

The steward on the side hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Master, isn’t it true that we also throw some?”

Liu Lu’s face was full of tiredness, and after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, “There’s no need, at this point, it’s already late.”

See the proprietor of this kind of heavy hearted appearance, the person in charge, can not help but also show regret expression, said: “The outside world said …… that this is the handiwork of His Highness the King of Song, it is rumored that these days, His Highness the King of Song has been in the head of the exchange, earned a lot of silver, the old master … . this His Highness the King of Song he ……”

This steward’s words have not finished, Liu Lu waved his hand again, and then said, “It is said that righteousness is not in charge of money, as a matter of fact, there is no father and son on the mall, but in any case, His Highness, the King of Song, in my kind of people have a favor, these words, don’t mention it ……”

He paused, then: “Not to mention that the loss is not big, Liu Ji merchant bank, also do not rely on this to get rich. These days, under the head of the various cabinets, let them act with some caution, some unnecessary purchases, all stop.”

Hearing Liu Lu so commanded, the steward froze, but nodded with a bitter smile.

It is important to realize that the reason why a big businessman like Liu Lu is here today is entirely out of his radicalism. After all, people in the wind, they say pigs can blow up! But the truth is not, everyone can vaguely feel the wind, but some people dare to bet the whole body, the pursuit of excessive returns. Ordinary people are left and right, worry a lot, until with the opportunity to lose.

This shows how radical a person like Liu Lu will be once he catches the wind.

But now, this steward can feel his lordship, all of a sudden as if the broken spine of the dog in general, and no longer have the previous intention of the wind, and now become cowering up.

The steward had to nod.

He couldn’t help but murmur, “This …… is too fishy, how to say up on the rise, say down on the fall, always be able to out of the news out before picking or shipping, this …… His Highness, the King of Song, is it so hand-eye to the sky? ”

When he said this, he saw that Liu Lu was preoccupied and his face showed annoyance, and he knew that Liu Lu did not like to hear this, so he had to be silent.

On the contrary, he suddenly remembered something, and then said, “Yes, master, in a few days, the big proprietor of the Chenji merchant house, wants to unite some people, to visit His Highness the King of Song, master …… to go or not?”

“Visiting His Highness King Song?” Liu Lu raised his eyebrows and looked surprised, he glanced at this steward before saying, “To do what?”

The steward said, “In the open …… is the wish to pay a visit to His Highness the King of Song to thank for the grace of promotion over the years, but in the dark ……”

The steward didn’t say any more, but the words were self-evident enough.

Liu Lu’s mind moved, his eyes slightly opened and said, “Fix a letter to go to Brother Chen, just say, count me in.”

“Yes.”

…………

In the Wen Yuan Ge.

But it was a little more lively than usual.

Hu Guang didn’t know what kind of medicine he had taken wrongly, but he could always pass out a big, bright laugh.

This cheerful laughter was clearly not in keeping with the ethos of Wen Yuan Ge.

After all, this is the world’s center of the world, can be here, which is not a person with a very high level of culture, joy and anger do not show color, acting carefully.

Wen Yuan Pavilion in a few university professors, a time of leisure, everyone will come to this bookstore to read the di.

At this time, Hu Guang then crossed his legs, but picked up a piece of “Business Newspaper” brought from somewhere.

This business newspaper is a newspaper issued by Qixia, Zhang Anshi submitted a request for publication. Its purpose, in addition to publishing some commercial knowledge and market changes, in a sense, also hope to be able to issue the world’s prefectures, so that the prefectures of the people, roughly clear about the different goods, in the world’s state capitals of the market changes.

As soon as I saw Hu Guang lala picked up that business newspaper out, Shi Shi crossed his legs, his face pressed against the newspaper, and looked at it carefully.

Yang Rong, who was also reading the diary here, felt that it was very hot, so he just skimmed his face and turned a blind eye.

Xie Jin only smiled, looked calm and relaxed, still looking at his Di Di.

Unlike Jin Youzi, who normally preferred to be on his way to his duty early in the morning, he finished reading the day’s diary when he was in the carriages; instead, he tended to take a nap on the sofa at this time of the day.

As for Zhang Anshi, he stayed quietly at the heel of a long table in another place, practicing calligraphy.

It can not be helped, as the Wen Yuan Ge university scholar, he has to vote, but his line of calligraphy is really spicy eyes, and even by Zhu Di angry scolded a few times, now, but also have to obediently practicing the book posting, lest write out the word is always unattractive to see people.

Not to say that Zhu Di does not recognize, sometimes summoned Zhang Anshi to ask, Zhang Anshi actually do not know what he wrote.

This makes Zhang Anshi can not help but admire some of those medical school doctors, Wen Yuan Ge’s word, after all, is to the emperor to see, this word the emperor can not read, naturally, to be scolded.

But that medical school doctors, their words are for the patient to see, even if again scribbled, even if it is a ghost, but also no obstacle, after all, this case and prescription, as long as the doctor who grabbed the medication to read and understand it.

Zhang Anshi practiced his calligraphy seriously, seemingly completely unconcerned about the few people at the other end.

Suddenly, Hu Guang let out an ah-ah.

In this quiet bookstore, scared Zhang Anshi’s hand shook, and suddenly a puddle of ink was left on the book sticker.

Zhang Anshi gave Hu Guang an annoyed and strange look.

But I saw Hu Guang sadly put down the Business Newspaper and sighed: “The capital city residence, big not easy ah.”

Yang Rong glanced at him, letting out a snort through his nose, and his gaze fell back to the diaper in his hand, ignoring him.

On the contrary, Xie Jin looked up at him with a smile and said, “How did Mr. Hu emit such sentiments?”

Hu Guang a look of amazement said, “Xie Gong, you see, the price of the East City, now a mansion, covering an area of only seventeen acres, the price has been one hundred and seventy thousand two hundred thousand pieces of silver, Xie Gong, you say …… this who can afford to buy?”

Xie Jin then said: “the capital on this palm size, thirty-seven acres of mansions in the city, now is less and less, not to mention the East City there, if it is the Bell and Drum Tower, I’m afraid that the price needs to be two hundred and fifty thousand it.”

Hu Guang emotionally said, “Right, right, right, hey, now this world …… Think back to the beginning, when the old man came to the capital to participate in the imperial examinations, then, or the time of the Taizu High Emperor, this East City side, such a mansion, but only two or three million pieces of silver. Today …… is really different.”

Xie Jin laughed: “Someone is willing to sell, naturally, someone is willing to buy, Hu Gong how this interest?”

Hu Guang lightly said, “Just glanced at the deputy edition of this business newspaper, and happened to see that someone posted a newspaper for sale, and thus …… lamented.”

Jin Youzi laughed and said, “Hu Gong, read the newspaper don’t look at the sub-page, are all colors of business selling notices, this thing, what is the meaning of reading?”

Hu Guang’s eyes slanted and he continued to rack his feet, but he slowly picked up his tealight and comfortably sipped the tea before slowly saying, “Isn’t this the mansion that Lao Fu was about to buy?”

Kim Youzi: “……”

Hu Guang lamented, “Still too expensive, I have to find a cheaper price, 170,000 taels is expensive, if it is 150,000 taels, it may not be unaffordable.”

Kim Youzi: “……”

Xie Jin hurriedly bowed his head and remained silent.

Hu Guang is excited to continue: “gentlemen, this East City is not far away from some, after all, there is some distance from the noon gate, daily into the palace on duty, along the way for fear of walking for half an hour …… Unfortunately, the Bell and Drum Tower is too expensive some, or bite the bullet … … just, this east city from the palace although far, but from the postal service close to some, let my son to facilitate some of the strike, we ah …… are old, and what thoughts it? Just have to eat their own suffering, teach their children and grandchildren to benefit from it.”

“Of course, my son is also filial, the day before yesterday he also said, simply go to the Bell and Drum Tower to buy, the old man is old, as soon as the winter is cold legs, he also fancy a mansion in the Bell and Drum Tower, covers an area of more than sixty acres, the building, pavilions, carved beams and paintings, more than 400,000 taels of silver.”

Hu Guang put down the tealight, eyebrows raised, huffed and puffed then said: “Lao Fu then scolded him, really do not know when the family firewood and rice expensive, have a little silver, do not know the collection of inspection, the tail is going to warble to the sky, not to mention that such expensive, but even if you can afford to buy, can not be such a waste of money, we are the family of poems and books, but not to follow the example of that Eastern Jin Dynasty’s Shih Chong go to fight for riches, to say that, also There is an eyesore …… you say, nowadays young people ……”

Hu Guang desperately shook his head and sighed, looking helpless.

Zhang Anshi’s face did not change, and he continued to lower his head and write the word post carefully.

Xie Jin finally couldn’t help but raise his head again, he coughed a few times, opened his mouth to say something, but didn’t know how to pick up, simply didn’t say anything.

Yang Rong simply put away the diary and pretended to close his eyes.

Only Jin Youzi wanted to sympathize with Hu Guang, fearing that Hu Guang would be cold and look bad, so he wanted to say something, but when he got to the edge of his mouth, he couldn’t help but think, “If I sympathize with him, who will sympathize with me?

So he simply stopped squeaking as well.

Hu Guang, however, still shook his head and said, “That’s why, people ah, must not be complacent, we are the people who have been there, we all understand. But now the young people are different, young and extravagant, to suffer.”

He said to himself, picking up the business paper again and continuing to read it happily.

Zhang Anshi finally finished writing a character post at this time, nodding his head in satisfaction at his post. At this time, he finally had the presence of mind to look up at Hu Guang, but smiled and said, “What did Mr. Hu say he wanted to buy just now?”

Hu Guang’s eyes brightened slightly and immediately said, “Your Highness, Your Highness, buy a mansion, buy a mansion ……”

Zhang Anshi squinted his eyes and thought seriously and deeply, then said, “Speaking of this mansion, I do have an idea.”

Hu Guang looked at Zhang Anshi with a burning gaze and said, “I still ask Your Highness to enlighten me.”

Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “Hahaha, giving advice is not something to be taken seriously, it’s just some ideas.”

Hu Guang looked at Zhang Anshi, but saw Zhang Anshi’s calm and relaxed appearance, and continued, “This congestion within the capital, and over the years, to be honest, there are too many people entering the capital, and within all the gates of the capital, overcrowding is not a good thing.”

Hu Guang then frowned and said, “The words are like this, but what can be done about it, other people and not to mention, let’s say that people like old man, daily in the palace duty, my son and in the postal department, do not live in the city, do you still have to go to the outside of the city?”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Well, what Duke Hu said, is not without reason, this is indeed a trouble as well.”

Hu Guang said, “Your Highness King of Song, if you have any ideas, you may as well say them, we are all ears, so don’t hide them.”

Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and said, “Right now, it’s not easy to say, wait for my new chapter of the New Deal to come out, and then I’ll propose this idea to be listed in it.”

Hu Guang raised his eyebrows uncertainly, “New chapter?”

And what does this have to do with the new chapter?

Zhang Anshi, however, stopped ignoring him and continued to lower his head, pulling out another piece of white paper and continuing to practice book stickers.

But Hu Guang obviously this, came to a great interest, quite a few claws scratching heart, want to continue to ask, but Zhang Anshi this guy bi and refused to spit out the appearance, can not help but regret.
