Chapter 107

Under the corridor, there is dense moss growing in the gap of the bluestone slab. However, in this winter, it also shows a little yellow. Jiang Xuening has been staring at the gap for a long time.

Her eyes were fixed.

The figure of the whole person also seems to be still.

Zhou Yinzhi accompanied Jiang Xuening all the way to Beijing. He was also an old subordinate of Jiang Boyou. He came to the government to see Jiang Xuening by taking the opportunity to send Jiang Boyou some local products from other places. It didn't arouse much suspicion.

But at this moment, it's hard to avoid beating the drum.

Jiang Xuening has been like this for a long time since he told them about the negotiation with Tianjiao.

The half letter was between her fingers.

A thin page of letter paper is half new, and the handwriting on it is powerful and orderly arranged.

When the wind blows, the letter paper and handwriting are shaking in her fingers.

Zhou Yinzhi also knew that this matter was unusual. After a moment's deliberation, he said, "that man has already grasped it. However, he is not willing to write again like the previous people. He also said that this matter had been discussed with his companions before he came out. I'm afraid that no one will take the bait after he wrote a letter. Do you want them to take this as a way to coerce their lives

This is the most common practice.

Few people can really ignore life and death, as long as the other party feels enough threat, no matter how hard the person will soon be soft.

However, Jiang Xuening's eyes were gently set down, but he closed his eyes and said: "it's useless to throw a rat into the trap."

It was not a fair deal from the beginning.

Although people are afraid of death, the person holding the remaining half of the letter is not the one who was arrested by them and was really threatened by his life, but his scattered companions. In this way, even if it is a threat, others will not pay attention to it.

Besides, no matter how it is calculated, they should be more afraid.

What's more, I'm afraid that the remaining half of the letter will be controlled by the imperial court and Xiao family!

Fifty thousand taels of silver.

How dare a lion open his mouth!

Jiang Xuening's eyebrows and eyes became more and more condensed, and there was a bit of anger in her mind. However, she forced her to go back: prepare money early in the morning, is not it ready to take it out like this? Compared with the safety of marquis Yongyi's residence, the belongings are not worth mentioning.

It's just

She frowned and said, "although the price is higher, it's not unacceptable. I'm afraid that what they say is false. Now it's Gong Yicheng who has no news, and the Tianjiao dark pile who lurks in the capital has a mind. But if we give the money, then Gongyi Cheng has news again. It's hard to guarantee that they will deliver the letter even if they don't receive the money. In this way, we will lose more than we gain. "

When Zhou Yinzhi heard this, he wanted to say nothing.

Jiang Xuening noticed it and asked, "what's the matter? Is there any other news?"

There is news

It's just that Zhou Yinzhi's power is not so great that he can understand it clearly, so he hesitates and does not dare to say.

When Jiang Xuening asked, he hesitated for a moment and said, "this" missing "Mr. Gongyi, there is some news in the imperial court. There is a rumor in the royal guards that when shuntianfu Yin besieged Tianjiao two days ago, he shot and killed a head of Tianjiao, which seems to be called gongyicheng. But when I just came to find the second girl, I heard from my colleagues that this man was not dead, but was arrested and imprisoned in the prison together with other Tianjiao rebellion parties. "

If any one of the news is true, the secret stakes of those Tianjiao are ready to take money and run away, and their credibility will be greatly increased.

It's not a hole without wind!

Jiang Xuening dropped her eyes and slowly folded the letter paper in her hand. She only said, "believe it or not. But I couldn't make up so much money in my hand for the time being, so I told the gang that we had the sincerity to buy the letter in their hands, but we had to ask them to wait more. You know, although they can submit the letter to the Xiao family, Ding Guogong may not be a kind person. After receiving the letter, he may not be able to uproot them. It can be regarded as a great achievement. Please don't go to seek their own death for the time being. "

Zhou Yinzhi was slightly shocked: "but such a large sum of money..."

Jiang Xuening interrupted: "you just talk about it, and I'll find a way."

It's what Jiang Boyou gave a while ago, and some personal silver in his hand. It's less than 40000 Liang, not to mention just in case. It's hard to avoid worrying about the lack of this part of silver.

After Zhou Yinzhi left, Jiang Xuening sat alone in the room, thought for a long time, finally sighed and made a decision.

She found someone to deliver a message to Ren Weizhi.

So the next morning, the merchants and brokers who came and went to Shuxiang Inn suddenly found something unusual. In the lobby of the inn, there was a big sign that said that 40% of the shares of Ren's salt farm in Zigong, Sichuan had sold out and got 20000 yuan. They would return to Shudi and run the salt farm in the near future. As for the use of zhuotang well, express horses will be sent to Beijing regularly to send news. As for the silver stocks purchased by all people, if necessary, they can be resold without the consent of Ren!However, the price and amount of resale will be recorded on this brand for publicity.

Once the sign was put up, it was thrown into Pinghu like a stone, which aroused thousands of waves among the merchants in the middle reaches of Beijing!

*

Ren Weizhi's "marriage" with you Fangyin was settled quickly.

After you Fangyin told Jiang Xuening about her plan and learned that she didn't object to it, Zhou Yinzhi sent a message to the royal guards' Yamen. Of course, he was very cooperative and released the people back.

That afternoon, Ren Weizhi went to propose marriage.

You Fangyin is just a common girl in the house, and no one is willing to take pains to get her out even after she has been in prison for so many days. On the contrary, when she comes back to the house, all kinds of eyes turn pale, ranging from uncle and lady to servant girl.

You Yue even resents her madness. She almost takes the opportunity to retaliate for what she did.

Who could have thought that suddenly someone would come to propose marriage?

This is really a surprise for the whole family.

It is impossible for uncle Qingyuan to turn away people when they come to propose marriage. He invited people to come in to talk with each other.

Ren Weizhi's family has no relatives. If there are any acquaintances in Beijing, they come by themselves.

When Uncle Qingyuan asked, he returned to study, but even a man who had no fame was still a businessman, so he didn't look down upon him at first. At least they are uncle's family. Although you Fangyin is an ordinary woman, she is also an official. How can she be a businessman? But then I heard that his family ran a salt farm and had just raised a sum of money to go back to Shu, but suddenly my heart moved.

Just one question: how much dowry do you offer?

Ren Weizhi said, three thousand Liang.

Uncle was not satisfied, so he served tea to the guests.

you Yuezhi came back to the palace to talk about this!

That day, she was taken home safely because her uncle had spent more than 13000 taels of silver. She had a big fight with her family. Then she went out of the house with the money she had saved, regardless of her sister you Shuang's dissuasion.

At that time, I went to Ren Weizhi to buy the silver stock of Yanchang!

Unexpectedly, Ren Weizhi wants to marry you Fangyin.

You Yue hates Jiang Xuening and makes herself lose face. She hates you Fangyin. A concubine's concubine dares to pick up the bench and do it herself. She wants to find a chance to kill them.

When she thought about it, she couldn't help sneering.

It's very simple. You Fangyin didn't even get out of the mansion in the past. Where do you know a foreigner? However, Ren Weizhi came directly to propose marriage. It must have been when she asked you Fangyin to come forward to ask about the affairs of the salt field that they colluded with each other.

I don't know how to behave, bitch!

Of course, I think so in my heart, but I don't have to say so.

You Yue feels that for herself, this is also an opportunity.

How to say, she is also the daughter of Bo's family. She can speak in the family.

Now he hinted at Ren Weizhi.

Ren Weizhi is also very "on the road". He respectfully asks you Yue to say something about her marriage. He first stuffed a thousand liang of red envelopes, saying that he would thank you again after the event.

You Yue is very happy with the money in her hand.

She had bought more than two thousand taels of silver from the saltworks, and she was nervous. With this one thousand taels of silver, she naturally had a lot of moisture.

What's more, there is a follow-up?

If you Fangyin married, how can you say that she was also a young lady from Bofu? Wouldn't the money she put into the saltworks be more secure?

In order to hypocritically and reluctantly agree to say a few good words for Ren Weizhi.

Although there is still a title in Qingyuan Bofu, he doesn't have real power in the court. A while ago, he spent a lot of money to get you Yue out of the prison, and nearly emptied the bottom of the Bofu.

Three thousand Liang is not much, but it is not much.

Qingyuan Bo just sent Ren Weizhi away, in fact, a little regret.

After a while, you Yue came to persuade him and only said, "father, you are confused. The small hoof is of humble origin. Which one of the rich families in Beijing can look up to? Even if you are a concubine, you may not have what you want. Now Ren Weizhi is a scholar, though he has a lower background. The most important thing is to run a salt farm at home. Don't you know that many people in Beijing have bought the silver shares of his salt factory. If he goes back, he will be a rich businessman. Not to mention that nowadays people are willing to pay 3000 Liang for betrothal gifts. It doesn't matter whether this person is successful or not. It's a white profit! It's Ren who wants to marry the little hoof. That's why we don't add any dowry to the little hoof. He doesn't dare to say anything

Uncle was in a bit of a dilemma: "but I asked people to leave..."

You Yue turned her eyes and said, "isn't that simple? I'll ask him to come again. Why doesn't he come? When you see him at that time, you will say that it is a test of his sincerity, and then you can just take the opportunity to agree. "

After such a talk, Ren Weizhi visited again the next day.

Qingyuan uncle took a long time of airs, and finally answered the marriage.You Yue received another thousand taels of red envelopes from Ren Weizhi.

It's done.

However, Ren Weizhi's family was in Sichuan, and he was in a hurry to go back to run the salt farm. So he soon decided on the date of marriage. One and a half months later, Ren Weizhi returned to Shu first, while you Fangyin married to Shu after the dowry was ready one and a half months later.

When Jiang Xuening heard that it had been done, he was greatly relieved. Everything was expected and nothing happened.

But the rest of the merchants in Beijing were surprised.

No one thought that Ren Weizhi could really collect such a large sum of money after he came to Beijing, and he also solved all the important matters of his life by the way. It's really unbelievable.

Three days later, Ren Weizhi left for Beijing.

The innkeeper took some money and continued to hang up the sign.

When the traders came in and saw it, they couldn't help talking about it.

"Forty percent of the silver shares in the salt market are divided into forty thousand shares, and twenty thousand taels of silver are obtained. One share is worth five yuan of silver, that is, five hundred Wen. I didn't even think that someone would really pay. Are there so many rich people in the capital? "

"No, you don't know?"

"What do you say?"

"The owner of the palace is holding five thousand shares. I'm not afraid of money. I dare to buy it! "

"Well, what about money

"Don't you understand? They all have a good marriage with Qingyuan Bofu. This is to tell you that I can't run away. Please rest assured. And if the silver shares can be resold, I don't worry that he can sell them now. "

"It's easy to say. Who dares to buy it?"

"Yes, not to mention five dollars a share, I won't buy two cents a share. A dilapidated salt farm is holding a drawing that people don't want to see. Who believes that he has the ability to build a salt farm? "

"It's strange that boss Lu has only paid 5000 taels. Who has paid 15000 taels?"

"I know that boss Liu, who is in the silk business, has bought several hundred taels of silver for fun. Anyway, he is not short of money, so he will help the younger generation. Do any of you want to buy it? I can help you talk about it. "

"Who will buy this!"

……

In a word, people's comments belong to discussion, and curiosity belongs to curiosity. During the period when Ren Zhigang returned to the capital, there were a few silver stocks out there, but few people wanted to bid.

Even if there is an occasional offer, I don't want to offer 500 Wen a share.

Some produced 300 Wen, others produced 400 Wen.

However, it's really strange that no one paid attention to it for the first five days. On the fifth day, it really came to a conclusion. Boss Liu of satin Zhuang is Ren Weizhi's father's friend. For the sake of helping the younger generation, he spent 300 taels of silver to buy 600 silver shares and held them in his hand. He thought that the silver had gone, but he didn't want to get it back.

But someone actually asked him to buy it.

It's a girl that boss Liu doesn't know. Anyway, the other party's offer is 350 Wen a share, which can make him recover 210 Liang silver. He is very satisfied, and he sells his silver shares without much thought.

So the shopkeeper of Shuxiang Inn changed a brand and recorded the number of shares and price of the transaction with clear and correct strokes.

On the day of hanging it, countless people gathered around.

The tea money sold in the inn has doubled, which makes the shopkeeper happy.

But when people looked at the sign and pointed out, they all laughed loudly: "look, if you buy 500 Wen, you can only sell it for 350 yuan, which is a loss of 30%! Those who bought several thousand taels of silver are very angry to see this? "

Someone echoed: "yes, it's a big loss."

Someone sighed: "I don't think the ambition of this salt farm is reliable. In the future, I'm afraid that no one will buy it for three hundred and five years, and I'm going to fall!"

There is a long distance between Sichuan and the capital. Everyone has never heard of "zhuotang well". They don't believe that it can draw new brine from the old salt well that can't be used.

The price of silver stocks in this salt market has been falling continuously.

Ten days later, two more trades were made, but the prices were 300 Wen a share and 290 Wen a share respectively.

Since he knew that the salt market silver stock could be freely traded and resold, Lu Xian always followed the news of Shuxiang inn. When he learned the first sale price of 350 Wen, he could not help but scold.

When the price dropped to 290 Wen, he almost lost his breath and crooked his nose.

Although he knew that he was looking forward to the success of the salt factory and making a lot of money from dividends, when he knew the stock price, he didn't hold back his humble hand. He sat in the youhuang hall, pulling the abacus and calculating carefully. He invested 5000 Liang and lost a small half! A heart is dripping blood!

You Yue in Qingyuan's mansion is even more stunned. She can't sleep well for several days. She secretly calculates her own money and scolds Ren Weizhi.

No one is optimistic about saltworks.

Before Shuxiang Inn, many people went to see it from time to time. However, as the silver stock could not be sold at all, and the board did not change for a few days, people's attention gradually came down, and only a few people were still very persistent and occasionally went in to have a look.Until Ren Weizhi left the capital for a month, a news about Zigong salt farm suddenly spread among all salt merchants -

zhuotong well was built!

It's said that the building is quite tall. It looks like a small building. It's very novel and frightening. When the news came, the salt wells were more than ten feet deeper than before, and they were still drilling!

The news spread from salt merchants to ordinary merchants.

It wasn't long before it was confirmed that Ren Weizhi of Shudi sent a horse to Beijing. The sign in the lobby of Shuxiang Inn wrote the news that zhuotang well had been built first and deep well had been hit!

This time, the inn, which had been deserted for nearly half a month, once again welcomed many curious merchants, even ordinary people who came to see the excitement.

More than ever!

People holding silver stocks in their hands and thinking about buying them all gather here to talk and listen to each other. Although the salt factory has not really produced bittern, the bid of 290 Wen or even lower is gone forever. No one sold 300 Wen, no one sold 400 Wen, and no one sold 500 Wen. It was not until someone offered 620 Wen, that is, a high price of six yuan and two cents, that a small deal was made!

Before, all the people who ridiculed others for "buying at a loss" could not help looking at each other.

From the price change, the more sensitive and intelligent people suddenly realized something more important -

such as LV Xian.

When people said that there were more than 600 Wen who could not buy the silver stocks in the saltworks, he had a deep blow in the back of his head. Until then, he had a little bit of aftertaste and vaguely understood what the simple words "silver stocks can be freely resold" meant!

It means that there is no need for the salt market to make money. As long as everyone thinks that the salt market can make money, the price of silver stocks will soar!

And those who hold silver stocks don't have to wait for regular dividends after the salt farm is well run. They can directly resell their silver stocks and get a lot of profits in advance!

Silver and silver shares have this kind of play!

Never seen, never heard of!

LV Xian couldn't help thinking: did Ren Weizhi come up with this method himself, or did other people who bought silver stocks come up with this method? Five thousand taels are left in his hands

*

a month goes by in the blink of an eye.

Finally, some of the people holding the remaining half of the letter from Tianjiao could not sit still. They came to ask when they could take out the fifty thousand taels of silver. Obviously, they were a little anxious when they saw that the agreed deadline would arrive.

Zhou Yinzhi also ponders that the money is too large. Where can Jiang Xuening find it?

He came to Jiang's house again and spread the news to Jiang Xuening.

As the new year approaches, there are more snows in the capital.

The house has been burned with charcoal.

Jiang Xuening thought that if things were to go back to the palace sooner or later, he knew that Xie Wei was a severe man. He did not touch the violin for a while. When he remembered it, he could not help worrying.

After listening to Zhou Yinzhi's words, she didn't even turn her eyes. She just pointed to the table and said faintly, "take ten thousand Liang first and call them. Please don't worry."

As for the rest

Jiang Xuening fingers gently hook, string vibration, will flow out of trembling rhyme, gently swing in the cold air, her voice is also gentle: "as for the rest of the money, also fast."

Wait a second.

Patience and so on.

It's not the best time yet.
