Everyone looked at each other.
Yes, why don’t I see anyone from the court?
The Jinyiwei came to block the net and rescue the man, but the Jinyiwei were wandering around the streets every day helping the people, so no one thought it was a big deal.
The exchange has nothing to do with the Jinyiwei.
The imperial court should send an important official to calm the people or explain the problem to everyone.
Otherwise, with so many people wanting to die under the feet of the emperor, the government would just not do anything?
Just as everyone was puzzled, the lecturer chuckled and said, "So, you are just like headless flies worrying about nothing."
"Let's not discuss whether the West is launching a war and the other side has artillery. Judging from the attitude of the court, either they don't take this matter seriously at all! Or the court is playing a big game!"
The exchange was in uproar.
Is there another way to explain it? It seems to make sense.
The lecturer said leisurely: "The stock prices of the exchange have plummeted, the court is as stable as a mountain, and retail investors have caused panic in the exchange, causing the stock prices to fall."
"You guys are just making things up and scaring yourself. If there really was a big problem with the trade in the West Sea, would the court not take action?"
"If you can think of it, how could the imperial court not think of it? There are so many elites in the imperial court, who isn't smarter than you?"
Yes, yes.
The crowd couldn't help but nod.
Among so many smart people, which one is not smarter than me? Which one of them does not get news faster than me?
"But I heard someone outside say that many people in the court can't even tell the difference between a deer and a horse..." A discordant voice was heard.
"Lies, blatant lies! They are all fabricated rumors!" the lecturer said with great confidence, "If this really happened, why didn't it appear in the newspapers? It's ridiculous that people would believe such a ridiculous rumor."
"Then how do you explain the exodus of big investors from the exchange? It is well known that many big investors have political backgrounds. They ran away at the first opportunity. What do you say?"
The lecturer shook his head and said, "This is to be expected. People always panic at times. Large investors are most sensitive to crises, so sometimes they react more violently. However, according to my guess, it won't be long before these people will come out again and make a fortune by buying at the bottom!"
"If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see!"
......
Seeing the exchange restored to order, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhongshun was also watching, wondering, "Master, will this work?"
"Yes, the people of Dajing are best at devaluing their own intelligence and personality, so they will believe it." Fang Zhengyi sat back in his seat and said, "But this is just a temporary measure. We have to wait and see what happens next. We need to introduce a large amount of funds to acquire Xihai Commerce."
"If you have extra money, buy as much as you can to prop up the market."
Liu Zhongshun smiled awkwardly: "Master, isn't this a business that is bound to lose money..."
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Why are you the same as the retail investors below? They don't have much money and are hoping to make a quick buck. There's nothing wrong with that, but you're different. You need to take a longer-term view."
"At present, overseas affairs have some twists and turns, but our national strength and national conditions are here, and the future is promising. You have to believe in the country."
"Buy as much as you can, or keep it as a family heirloom. I'm also going to enter the market soon to support the bottom."
Fang Zhengyi said as he stood up and packed up to leave: "Let's go. I'm going to go to the palace first to take a look at the situation there. Please help me take care of this. In the next two days, try to stabilize the mentality of the people and don't let them cause any trouble."
......
In the imperial study.
Emperor Jing was bent over his desk studying stocks, his face looked grim, as if he had aged several years.
He has all these stocks in his hands and hasn't sold any of them!
Today I heard that the price has dropped to 2 taels and is still falling. It seems that I have lost everything.
I've been poor for half my life...I finally became rich for a few years, but now I'm back to the way I was before.
Just as he was feeling sad, the eunuch guarding the door came with a report.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jianye requests an audience."
"fast forward!"
As soon as Fang Zheng entered, Emperor Jing immediately stood up and asked sternly, "Zhengyi, what's going on in the exchange?"
Fang Zheng said, "I have tried to stabilize the situation for now, but it is not a long-term solution."
"Do you have any solution?" Emperor Jing asked with great hope in his eyes.
This good son-in-law of ours is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth! He has a crooked brain, but he can at least come up with some ideas!
Fang Zhengyi nodded first, then shook his head.
Emperor Jing's heart tightened: "Can it be solved?"
Fang Zhengyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Majesty... Actually, there is no good solution. The only thing we can do is to support the market. We will buy as much as the market sells."
"If we can stabilize the market, there will be no rush for overseas issues. The court will have plenty of time to adjust. No matter how bad the situation is, we can always find a way to turn it around."
This is the way! That's it?
Emperor Jing felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.
The imperial court does not have much room to intervene in the war in the west now. Zheng Hui has great power and can mobilize many resources overseas.
There is no need for special approval from the court again. Whether they can gain the upper hand depends entirely on their performance.
You can buy stocks on the market...
"Someone has mentioned your method of supporting the economy to me before, but where can I get the money now? I have already spent all my treasury." Emperor Jing closed his eyes and sighed, "That's my entire life..."
"Father, are you trying to say that all your life savings are invested in the stock market?"
"Yes...a lifetime savings..." Emperor Jing's heart was bleeding.
"No! Your Majesty still has money!"
"I really don't have anything left. Do you think I would lie to you?" Emperor Jing was speechless.
How come Zhengyi is just like other court officials?
I have no money left, and I still want to squeeze you! Are you going to cut down on the expenses of the palace again? How much money is there?
Fang Zheng opened his eyes and said righteously, "Yes! Father, don't you think of me as an outsider? In times of national crisis, your son's money is your father's money. Since the West Sea trade began to plummet, your son has already started to think of ways to raise funds to support the market."
"We have raised five million taels of silver today. This is all the savings I can afford. I think it should be able to alleviate some of the problems."
!
Emperor Jing's body shook and he stood up!
He walked quickly to Fang Zhengyi, put his big hands on his shoulders, and said with emotion: "Zhengyi, what are you talking about! Can I still use your money to solve the court's problems?"
Emperor Jing's heart was already filled with tears and his limbs were numb.
Good son-in-law, a truly good son-in-law... time and time again he serves his country, his family and me.
Not forming any party or group, being completely selfless, and working exclusively for the country, what kind of spirit is this!
On the other hand, that beast, the prince, even dared to yell at me just now!
No, the war situation is unclear right now, and Fang Zhengyi must not be allowed to spend this money.
If he loses a lot of money, he will feel guilty!
