The news of a huge mine discovered in Liaodong still spread like wildfire.

First, the Ming Dynasty newspaper reported it.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted a lot of attention, and many people started to talk about it, thinking that the mining industry might be successful.

However, when everyone gathered at the exchange early the next morning, they were shocked to find that the mining stocks were still motionless and were still falling.

This made many people who came to watch the fun confused.

So many people asked.

Only then did I realize that those who had a lot of money were still motionless, not just waiting and watching, but were still not optimistic about Liaodong Mining at all.

"The stocks and scholars wrote another article today, saying that this is not a good news at all. The place where the mine was discovered was remote. Even if it could be transported, the transportation cost was not a small amount, let alone... the place in Liaodong..."

These people talked and became quieter.

"And I heard that there are some people in Beizhili now... planning to contract mines, and most of them are going to go public."

“Contract the mine?”

"Don't you know this? The new law of the new policy has been issued. All the mountains and forests are naturally owned by the court, but if you want to dig, you need to contract them with the court. Of course, it is not a transaction, but a form of rental. For example, if you rent for thirty years, you will pay a sum of silver every year, but this sum of silver is not a small amount."

"There are many mines in Northern Zhili, and many people have already had their own thoughts. To be honest... With the mines in Northern Zhili, who wants Liaodong?"

"This is not wrong."

"I just don't know how the young master of the Liu family is doing now. If the mine in Beizhili is really listed in the future, I'm afraid he will really lose a lot."

Of course, Liu Wenchang didn't care about this news at all.

Although the stocks on hand still have a downward trend.

But he doesn't care about this at all now.

In his opinion, he will do it if he is optimistic, and he does not intend to expect profits in a few days.

Stocks, especially his large amount of funds, are originally doing long-term transactions, which is different from some people who go to the exchange every day to stare at the rise and fall at that moment. In his opinion, it has no intention at all.

He is now in Xinxian.

In Xinxian County, an engineering university was recently established. This university was built by His Majesty himself. It was divided into many subjects and summoned scholars from all over the world to study.

And the president of this university is still Zhang Jingyi.

This is actually impossible. Miscellaneous learning is the atmosphere brought up by Zhang Jing. If the school wants to do it well, people who have prestige and understand this industry must take charge.

Therefore, Zhang Jingyi had to run the school with peace of mind and divided the engineering university into dozens of subjects, including engineering construction, geography, smelting and chemical engineering, agriculture, forestry and so on.

In fact, many people don’t want to learn any miscellaneous studies at all.

After all, who would like to learn this kind of thing if anyone has read a book?

You know, those who have done this in all dynasties have been despicable roles.

However... Zhang Jingyi's presence actually triggered a big craze.

After all, scholars also have to make a living, especially many scholars from not very good families, as well as some people who are interested in further studies in military academies.

Zhang Jingyi created a myth in the military academy, which made countless people turn over after entering the military academy. Among them, there were four students who were granted marquis, nineteen people who were granted Count, and other commanders who were granted hereditary commanders, Tongzhi, Thousand Houses, Hundred Houses, etc., who were already unable to count clearly.

Of course, the hereditary commander, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, is not actually the commander of your children and grandchildren. This is a kind of treatment. After Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi agreed, this "great" has been changed to a generational salary.

And not only that, now everyone can see that the troops in the world are going to be reorganized. Under this situation, these students have begun to flow into the personal army and the garrisons in various places, and many of these people have become military officers, or even senior military officers.

Some people have begun to vaguely believe that in the future, the world of Ming Dynasty may reach the point where non-military school students are not allowed to become officers.

Now that the new school is open, people may not know whether the things they have learned are useful when entering school themselves.

But many people think that after entering school, it’s all right to study. Zhang Jing will worry about the future.

As everyone expected, Zhang Jingyi has gathered all the talents involved in various subjects these days and started to compile textbooks for various subjects. Many textbooks ultimately need him to give advice or even check.

For a moment, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but feel a headache, but she could only work hard.

And this son of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Liu Wenchang, also signed up for admission.

In fact, he is not young anymore, over thirty years old, and he actually enrolled in business studies.

Some people couldn't help but smile after learning about it, and some even secretly laughed at it.

To be honest, you still need to go to school to do business, which is obviously...it's a bit extra!

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and more than two months passed. At this time, with the advancement of the new policy, the atmosphere in the capital was greatly different.

The entire capital seemed to be full of vitality, especially the emergence of steam locomotives and commerce also developed. People in the capital began to discover more and more that new things would appear almost every few days.

People in agricultural society are conservative, but now, driven by many new things, many people have also begun to try new things.

But at this time, Guangping Mining finally opened, attracting the attention of many people for a while.

Guangping Mining is located in Guangping Prefecture. There were a large number of iron ore and coal mines before. Under the implementation of the new policy, the local gentry immediately decided to unite and contract the mine veins in this area, because manpower and mining workshops are ready-made and profits can be generated immediately.

The iron price is unattainable now, so... it is almost imagined how rich Guangping Mining will make the future profits.

The most important thing is that it is very close to the capital. Guangping Prefecture belongs to the Northern Zhili. If it arrives at the capital, it will only be two, three or four hundred miles away.

It seems that everyone is talking about this matter on the market. Some people rumored that the people who contracted the mine this time were extraordinary, and they were gentry from Northern Zhili.

You know, the gentry in Northern Zhili is not just a simple gentry.

In fact, in recent years, Northern Zhili has suffered disasters for many years, and many gentry have long stopped surviving on land.

Moreover, over the years, the status of the gentry in Northern Zhili has also increased, and there are also factors such as Wei Zhongxian.

This nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian was originally from Beizhili. Although Wei Zhongxian was a eunuch, he still had local feelings, so he promoted his fellow villagers. There were even many fellow villagers who were not eunuchs at all. Wei Zhongxian also praised his feet and thought that although you ignored us, we were fellow villagers.

For a moment, even the senior officials in Zhili, Central and Northern Dynasties could not count.

For example, Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Li Guo, the former grandson of the Ministry of Education, also occupied two of them, including three ministers, and even more of them among the nine ministers.

Don’t look at the fact that Northern Zhili is a big place, but in fact, the circle of gentry is very small. These people live here for generations, and they are almost all family friends. It is precisely because a large number of people have become high-ranking officials that the gentry in Northern Zhili has also risen.

This time, they dared to be the first in the world and directly contracted the mines in one go. They also felt that there were people in the court. Otherwise, they would not dare to take risks.

And people's minds obviously go beyond that.

The mines have a lot of profits, but compared to mines, there are countless gold and silver that are listed for financing.

And this time, I'm going to go public.

In the capital, various news about Guangping Mining has been spread all over the sky.

A few days later, news came out that it was Guangping Mining, and Yang Xiong, editor-in-chief of the Special Stock Exchange, went to Guangping Prefecture.

After Yang Xiong had been to Guangping Prefecture and returned to the capital, he soon wrote several articles and praised Guangping Mining.

With the unattainable iron price, Guangping Mining's iron ore has been mined and its annual profits are also abundant. Once more people are recruited for mining, it can meet the needs of Beijing steel. It is also said that this place is close to Beijing, and future profits are naturally indispensable.

In addition to Yang Xiong, other tycoons are even more like crucian carp crossing the river.

It was not until a month later that Guangping Mining finally began raising shares and issued shares publicly.

It is said that dozens of great gentry entered the capital together, first visiting fellow townsmen and senior officials in the capital, and then visiting some great scholars, such as Yang Xiongren.

After that, they entered the exchange. This time they had a big appetite and directly obtained 100 million shares and issued 30 million shares on public offerings, and the price... With the help of Yang Xiong and others, the price was finally priced at one tael and five cents of silver.

As soon as the news came out, many people were happy.

Isn’t this clear, is it a competition with Liaodong Mining?

Liaodong Mining has not made any profit yet, but it has begun to make profits! It is also close to the capital and has a promising future. Even the investment in expanding the mining scale in the future will save a lot of money. In this way, this is a hen laying golden eggs!

Moreover, many of Mr. Yang’s articles have been read by everyone, which makes sense.

On that day, it actually triggered a rush to buy.

Within three days, all the publicly issued shares were sold out.

Yang Xiong and others continued to contribute to the fire. Soon, the price of Guangping Mining rose sharply, and soon reached the price of 2 taels per cent.

For a moment, the limelight was unparalleled, and it even surpassed the original railway.

Even Yang Xiong had already spoken that if Guangping Mining raises less than five taels of silver this year, he would run naked in the capital.
Chapter completed!
