Chapter 658: Fresh Blood
Zhang Jing thought about it and said, "In my opinion, Huang Gong's words are a bit alarmist. In my opinion, there are also good and bad gentry. Even if there are many evil gentry colluding with Li Zicheng, I may not have no scholars and scholars who care about the world. Now some people are creating public opinion, saying that because of the new policy, the scholars and scholars would rather support Li Zicheng, but I do not agree with this."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi nodded, thinking that it made sense.
Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "The current chaos is precisely because the new policy is not thorough enough. Therefore, the most urgent task is to continue to implement the new policy. In addition, the construction of railways must also be accelerated. Therefore, I think what is most needed now is to speed up financing and spread all construction."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi stared at Zhang Jing and said, "Did Zhang Qing have another solution?"
Zhang Jing thought to himself that the reason for launching stocks is essentially because one person’s power or the funds of one person and two people cannot quickly create a large-scale industrial chain.
The essence of financing or finance is to quickly advance this process.
Zhang Jingyi said: "I heard that it is very inconvenient for many people to deliver stocks now. Many people still need to ask around whether there are buyers and sellers in order to buy and sellers. Even if it is a transaction, it is difficult for both parties to have such a huge amount of funds."
"So I think... My Liaodong Mining is also preparing to list and issue new shares anyway. In addition, the railway company needs to build branches in various places and continue to raise funds. You might as well open a place to trade stocks at the Bell and Drum Tower. In this way, if you want to trade, you will have a place to go."
Emperor Apocalypse said in surprise: "Where are you trading stocks?"
Emperor Tianqi thought about it seriously, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "This is a good idea, it's like... the East City and the West City, but what is buying and selling is not the goods, but stocks?"
"That's right." Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Emperor Tianqi in his heart. Smart people can understand at all!
So he continued: "In the future, whether it is a seller or a buyer, at least there is no need to be a headless fly, and the price will be more transparent than before! In addition, a large number of transactions are completed in one place, and the data of these transactions can also be recorded and inquired in the future, so as not to be like a headless fly in the capital."
Emperor Tianqi said: "This matter is done by Zhang Qing. He has to establish a charter. After the rules are established, the transaction will be more convenient and will be more conducive to circulation."
Why are stocks valuable?
In addition to profit and dividends, it actually has another attribute, that is, once you urgently use money, you can cash out immediately.
But in this era, there are many procedures to go through to cash out. You have to find the buyer. After finding the buyer, you have to negotiate the price with him. After the price is negotiated, you still need to trade with others!
There are countless troubles in this, involving a lot of time, and the expenses of asking for insurance.
This is also why it is difficult for ordinary people to trade small stocks.
But if a guarantee mechanism is established that can be cashed at any time, then it is hard to say about the future stock market.
Zhang Jingyi said: "I have already thoughts. Everything is ready, but the east wind is not allowed. Your Majesty will wait and see."
The two of you said one thing, and I said one thing.
Huang Liji did not leave. He held his ears and listened carefully without saying a word, especially when he heard that Zhang Jingyi's Liaodong Mining Industry was about to be released, he couldn't help but feel moved.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi noticed that Huang Liji was still there and said, "Huang Qing's family, there is nothing to do with you here."
"Yes, yes." Huang Liji had no choice but to retreat.
The current stock market has indeed reached a high level, and the railway company has reached twenty-seven taels of silver per share.
This price has gradually stabilized, and the previous craze has gradually dissipated. After all, fools know that although such a high level may not necessarily fall, it is not so easy to still want to rise sharply.
However, at this time, those who had money in their hands had already felt that industries such as minerals, steel, textiles and logging were profitable, so they were looking for opportunities crazily.
Especially minerals are the most difficult, because of the dictatorship of salt and iron, the local arable land began to be divided, while other land such as mountains and forests have fallen into the hands of the court. At this time... even if you want to invest and excavate, it is not so easy at this time.
Therefore, what everyone does is to hoard scrap iron and ore.
But...this efficiency is too slow.
However, many textile workshops are blooming everywhere.
It’s just that the Zhang family has gained the first-mover advantage in textiles, and others follow the trend, just take a sip of soup.
However, these days, the Ming Dynasty has been fueling the fire, saying that iron and coal are also scarce.
It is even serious to say that in the future, the price of this iron will be comparable to that of gold.
As for coal, newspapers have called it "black gold".
Today, this Ming Dynasty newspaper is almost a must-read for gentry, merchants, and many people with a lot of industries.
This kind of bombardment over the past few days has created an impression rooted in the heart.
At the same time, another big news came out.
The railway company will issue new shares to raise funds for the next ten branch railways. As soon as the news came out, many people held the money and waited.
Of course, in the market, more people are circulating that buying this new stock will definitely not lose money, but more people can't help but have an idea.
So many railways are going to be built now, and in the future, according to this trend, I will have to operate thousands of miles away, and I don’t know how much railways will be needed, so how much steel and coal it will consume?
Now I heard that this iron ore and coal can only be used for fifteen years, and the whole world will be excavated. This is well-founded. Some people have calculated the current output and some existing minerals. It has been a conservative estimate in fifteen years.
Wouldn't this steel and coal really be a big deal?
At this moment, news about Liaodong Mining began to spread quietly.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
It's impossible not to follow it.
In everyone's impression, there may be a lot of coal in the pass, but iron ore... To be honest, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, iron ore has been discovered everywhere, and most of the easily mined ore have been mined long ago. As for those that have not been discovered, even if they are found, they are probably the kind with relatively high mining costs.
But Liaodong is different. Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and many minerals that are easy to mine are not excavated because of their sparse population and years of war.
It is obvious... here is the main source of coal and iron for future provision.
Not only that, if the railway is connected in the future, the future prospects are promising.
For a moment, everyone was looking forward to it.
But at this time, the stock exchange was finally established.
Announcements were made everywhere, countless people were running around and reporting, and the newspapers fueled the fire. On this day, the stock exchange that relied on the bell and drums were loud and loud.
Many people wait here early.
For example, Liu Wenchang and Liu Wenchang have been staying in Xinxian these days, which is an eye-opener.
The business development there is very mature, and there are many emerging industries, such as ready-to-wear, which are the first to develop from there. Moreover, merchants gather, and Liu Wenchang travels through the streets and alleys every day. Over time, he has made many friends.
Of course, he was still afraid of embarrassment, for fear that someone would know that he was the son of Liu Hongxun, a college student in the cabinet. After all... In the eyes of ordinary people, it is shameful for people like the Liu family to do business.
Therefore, he rarely informs others of his identity.
In Xinxian, the person who interacted with him the most was a merchant named Li Qin.
Li Qin is from Guanzhong, and in fact she was also a young gentry at the time, so she has read a lot of books.
After the severe drought in Guanzhong, in addition to the great gentry, those who had hundreds of acres of land in their family, actually fell rapidly, and became so miserable that they came to the capital with the refugees.
However, he was able to write and calculate, so he quickly gained a foothold in Beijing. He first made an account for others, and slowly saved up a sum of money. He immediately realized that the garment industry was bound to be hot.
After all, most of the people used to farm and weave men. Even if they wanted to make clothes, they bought cloth and went home to find their wives to cut them and make new clothes.
But in the capital, there were workers everywhere, and even a large number of female workers began to appear, fewer and fewer women in this family were cutting clothes, so people began to tend to buy ready-made clothes.
He first opened a ready-to-wear shop, and soon he made a fortune. Then he opened another workshop himself for production and manufacturing, and the shop was used for sales, and the business was extremely prosperous.
Nowadays, Li Qin has become one of the most famous merchants in the ready-to-wear industry in the capital. She is actually not much worth compared to real giants, but she is also a huge silver-cutting 100,000 yuan.
His other hobby is stocks. This thing is too exciting. In fact, since the railway company issued stocks, merchants like Li Qin have not been limited to buying and selling stocks. Their biggest dream is to package their own trading into stocks and sell them.
Early this morning, Li Qin and Liu Wenchang were waiting here.
The two looked forward to it and looked at the huge newly renovated building in front of them. Listening to the people around them talking, Li Qin couldn't help but say to Liu Wenchang beside her: "Brother Liu, you said... it's so good, why do you have to mess with an exchange?"
Liu Wenchang said, "I think it's for the convenience of transactions."
"What's the use of convenient trading? Even if not, won't everyone trade the same?"
After all, Liu Wenchang has studied and occasionally heard his father talk about the country governance. He smiled and said, "The transaction is convenient, the more people buy stocks. The more people buy, the larger the amount of funds, the larger the funds, isn't this stock valuable?"
