Seeing his son's extremely serious look, Liu Hongxun was full of anger, but he finally dissipated.

He just smiled bitterly and was speechless.

What else can you say?

After a long time, he said, "At least there is good news."

Liu Wenchang: “…”

"Your stubborn personality is very similar to my husband when he was young. At least it can prove that you were born for your father."

Liu Wenchang: “…”

Of course, this is just a joy in suffering.

Liu Hongxun is now starting to doubt whether it is correct to ask Liu Wenchang to go to Xinxian.

He seemed to have become a different person.

However, Liu Wenchang's incident was in the capital, and there was a lot of trouble.

After all, stocks, new shares issued, the son of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, more than one million taels of silver.

These words that are naturally easy to create hot topics are all gathered together, so even the Ming Dynasty newspaper made special reports the next day.

The Ming Dynasty has clarified several things. One is Liu Wenchang's money, which was sold out of the railway stocks, and the Liu family made a lot of railway stocks.

At least this calmed the rumors that the Liu family had when they came from this much money.

The report of the Ming Dynasty is still objective. After all, as a newspaper of the Zhang family, it is born with traffic and can often get first-hand news from railway companies, mining and Jinyiwei. To some extent, it is both a railway company and a microphone for Jinyiwei. These two attributes alone are enough to make it have countless fans.

At least in the capital, in people's perception, the Zhang family's Ming Dynasty newspaper is relatively accurate. Whether it is doing business or paying attention to the current current affairs, it is a must-read every day.

But other tabloids are different.

They have no channels for first-hand news.

To put it bluntly, if you go to a railway company or other places to inquire about information, who will pay attention to you?

Therefore, what they prefer to do is to report in depth.

It is nothing more than deep processing of the news that everyone knows, and then evaluating what is happening right now.

Or, it creates some sensational strange things, why the sow screams in the middle of the night, why female voices are hidden in the Dongcheng Temple at night, etc.

Another type is that great scholars have set up newspapers that they are in charge. What they are best at is making articles, making sense, or... studying theory.

There are all three situations in the stock market. After learning that Liu Wenchang had bought mining, Yang Xiong immediately wrote an article to comment on the matter. His attitude towards it seemed ironic. The whole text was quite a bit like Liu Hongxun's son carrying a sedan chair for the Zhang family.

It is probably because the Zhang family uses the Liu family to attract people to subscribe to new shares.

Of course, he was full of righteous indignation in this regard, believing that it was really a big mistake for Liu Hongxun, as a cabinet minister, to indulge his son in this way.

Not only that.

Moreover, the Zhang and Liu family are suspected of joining forces to fool people into purchasing new shares for profit.

In his opinion, the price of this new stock is not worth the current price, it is purely just that the Zhang family wants to cheat money.

In his mind, it is naturally the railway company's stocks that have the value of purchasing.

The reason for supporting his argument is also very simple, that is, there are mineral deposits everywhere in the world, and even if the coal and iron in Liaodong are discovered, it is not uncommon.

After several articles were published in succession, the Liu family suddenly became the target of public criticism.

The new stock had just been issued and then began to fall sharply.

The original three taels of silver fell by 10% in a blink of an eye.

For a moment, he also made a small fuss and the people who bought some stocks couldn't help but beat their chests and fall.

This put a huge pressure on the Zhang family.

There are many new shares that have not been sold.

Now, when Zhang Jingyi wakes up every day, he needs to read the newspaper first.

This stock is occasionally seen, although it is also a research on stocks, to some extent, it also supports the new policy, but the new policy they understand is somewhat different from Zhang Jingyi's new policy.

Therefore, these people were sarcastic and Zhang Jingyi didn't take it to heart.

The current criticism of new stocks has made Zhang Jing feel disgusted.

I am selling stocks here, and you are saying that this stock has no future and is a way out of wealth. This is.

Fortunately, the stocks sold at least raised more than tens of millions of taels of funds.

The Zhang family also raised a sum of money, and now the plan to develop various mines has been put on the agenda.

Zhang Jingyi had already sent people secretly to visit several places and started searching. The results of the exploration... Although it has not yet come out, Zhang Jingyi has great confidence.

In addition, it is to improve the mining technology.

Mining is not an easy task. It requires a complete set of management processes and a set of tools.

Therefore, personnel training has already begun.

After everything was ready, Zhang Jingyi instructed people... to start promoting various tasks.

In fact, in all dynasties, even in later generations, those who have mines are all old men.

After all... this thing is a natural output, and if sold, it is a steady stream of silver.

Liaodong has a small population now. As long as the mining industry develops, it can take advantage of this trend to absorb the population and allow the Zhang family to quickly gain a foothold in Liaodong.

The Liao generals at that time relied on controlling the few lands, then adopted a group of servants, fooled the court, sent Liao pay, and became the local emperors in Liaodong.

Zhang Jingyi planned to quickly establish a complete system based on rye and mineral veins.

So, letters were sent from the Zhang family and Liaodong.

Even... in order to urge the railways in Liaodong and the capital, Zhang Jingyi left no room for the Liaodong side to cooperate with the construction of the railway.

Even the railway company has just begun to pave the road, and Zhang Jingyi has already begun to instruct people to build a roadbed along the planned railway line outside the pass.

He is very busy these days.

But there was a letter sent to the Zhang family.

Zhang Jingyi came back very rarely, and when she saw the letter, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Princess Le'an did not show any displeasure about this: "Look, my husband is busy with official duties, so don't delay the main business."

Zhang Jingyi pretended to be unwilling to pay attention to these matters, and now she reluctantly opened the letter.

This letter was sent by Huang Taiji.

As soon as he saw the letter, Zhang Jing slapped the table and then said happily: "Okay, it's very good, it's really found it."

"What have you found?"

"iron ore."

"Iron ore?" Princess Le'an frowned: "Although I know I'm short of iron now, Liaodong is after all..."

"This is different. Iron ore and iron ore are different." Zhang Jingyi said happily: "The quality of iron ore is different. Some have high iron content and some are low. In addition, some are hidden in the old forest on the body. If you want to dig it out, sometimes you have to open a mountain. But some iron ore are in the open air. You can pick it up at will, and it may be high-quality iron ore. The history of iron smelting in the pass has been close to two thousand years. Do you know that our ancestors have refined iron for two thousand years, our pots, pans, and our swords, guns, swords and halberds, which one of them was not dug out from the ground by our ancestors."

Zhang Jing paused and said, "So, at the beginning, they started digging from the easiest place to dig, and then later, it was difficult to find the mines that could be easily dug, so they had to dig deeper. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually becoming increasingly difficult to find iron ore that could be easily mined."

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "The current conditions are to dig out the iron ore in the pass, the manpower and material resources required, as well as the cost, are actually amazing. Even if it is dug out, the quality is extremely poor. This mining has costs. The same 100 kilograms of ore can be refined differently. The iron ore we found is absolutely of the highest quality compared to the pass, not only that, but also huge open-pit ore veins. Do you know... what does this mean?"

Princess Le'an doesn't understand these things very well. She actually tries to understand, at least she wants to know what her husband is doing outside.

So she also tried to read the newspaper, but soon she gave up because there were many newspapers, either directly or sarcastically speaking to the Zhang family in a reproachful tone.

In fact, this is also related to the style of the Ming Dynasty. Scholars criticize the world... It seems that they have become a symbol of character and integrity.

Therefore, in order to show that I have a sense of moral superiority, I always have to find a partner to say something sarcastic, so that everyone in the world seems to be drunk, and I may seem to be smart.

“What does it mean?”

Zhang Jingyi said excitedly: "It means... our costs can be minimized. Mining and mining are different. Different costs, as well as the quality of ore mined, which determines the value of the mine."

As he said that, Zhang Jingyi rubbed his hands excitedly and then said, "This time, thank you Huang Taiji. In order to find the mineral veins, many people who are looking for the mines were asked to escort their tribesmen all the way. Okay, I will reply now and tell Huang Taiji that we must start moving quickly, and this mine must start moving immediately."

Princess Le'an said: "This is a big deal, so I won't disturb my husband."

Zhang Jing shook his head and said, "I can only reply to one letter. In addition, there are several mines, so he should also hurry up. The people who arranged it should start building workshops immediately... Yes, in order to save transportation, choose a place with geographical conditions near this mine and build several steel workshops. In addition, we also need to build a branch railway to connect the future trunk lines... Fortunately, the money has been raised almost, and now it is not short of money."

Zhang Jing was dancing with a smile. In fact, when people first found some of the mines in their memory, Zhang Jingyi was still a little worried, afraid that his memory would be deviated.

Fortunately, God finally won't let it go.

He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, then quickly wrote a letter, compiled a letter, and ordered someone to send it out in a hurry, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
