Vol 2 Chapter 1433: Miracle

  Chapter 1433 Miracle

  The merchants at Mengjin Ferry seemed to have exploded, and people rushed to witness what happened in front of them in disbelief.

  The people living here, for generations, have been accustomed to this river. In their view, the river is yellow, and the yellow river is rolling with big waves and sweeping down rumblingly.

  But now...

   Soon, the local inspector came with people in a hurry.

  By noon, the place is already full of people.

  More and more people came one after another, looking at the miracle in front of them, all of them showed disbelief.

  Mengjin County Magistrate Zheng Wenyi, at this time, came with a large number of servants.

  Zheng Wenyi was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Hongzhi. Because he was only ranked among the top three, he first observed politics in the Ministry of Punishment, and then he was released as a county magistrate, and then a county magistrate.

  Mengjin is a big county, the big county is the magistrate, and the small county is the magistrate. Zheng Wenyi has been worrying about Mengjin's affairs recently.

  The emergence of merchants and the business opportunities brought by the ferry of the Yellow River made Mengjin gradually prosperous.

  At the beginning, when Zheng Wenyi was in the capital, he also heard a little about the New Deal in Beijing. The imperial court gave commendations to ministers and local officials who were effective in the New Deal.

  The mansion newspapers that were delivered every now and then made Zheng Wenyi realize the situation. The world today has changed.

  This is true for the princes in the temple, and it is also true for his local parents.

  Therefore...he had to seek a change, but the new management method still made him burnt out.

   On the one hand, his ability is limited.

   On the other hand, the subordinate officials and servants also know nothing about the New Deal.

  Although I took the Dibao and the "New Deal Minutes" obtained from the Baoding Chief Political Commissioner, I organized the officials to study, but after all...the promotion is still limited.

  However, the top priority in the county right now is to expand the Yellow River ferry, followed by improving the road from the ferry to the county seat.

Zheng Wen also heard that something happened at the ferry of the Yellow River, saying that it was suddenly crowded with people, and goods and people could not get in and out. He was shocked at first. For a county magistrate like him, the new policy is the ferry for the little Mengjin, and the ferry is the new policy. , if something happens here, then everything will be over.

  So he quickly left other things behind, and brought a group of servants here in a hurry, and it was really crowded with people.

  Seeing the parents, the officer arrived, and the waterway inspector led dozens of soldiers to push away the crowd and greet Zheng Wenyi.

Zheng Wen also couldn't afford a carriage in Beijing, so he could only sit in a sedan chair. After getting off the sedan chair, he looked around with a dignified look, and said, "What does this look like? Hurry up and drive people away. Why is the Yellow River clear? Why is the Yellow River turbid? What nonsense are you talking about, inspector Liu, could it be that there are thieves who want to make trouble?"

   Inspector Liu looked dumbfounded, as if he was still in shock.

  But Zheng Wen also asked this question, he is understandable.

  Many rebellious behaviors are related to the Yellow River. If something is dug out of the Yellow River today, what will happen to the Yellow River tomorrow is the last thing the local parents want to see.

   Liu inspector couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Your envoy, go and see for yourself."

   Well, he couldn't explain it.

  Zheng Wenyi only nodded his head, there were soldiers and guards clearing the way ahead, and soon, he reached the river bank in the gap between the crowds.

   And at this time... Zheng Wenyi's body shook, and he was also very surprised. He pursed his lips and fell silent.

  The Yellow River is clear.

  The clear river water is enough to arouse the surging emotions of a poet with rich inner emotions.

  Yes, Zheng Wenyi is a poet, and now he suddenly wants to recite poems.

  But...his duty as a parent officer, this situation made him shiver.

  After the shock, he looked back in a daze, and said, "The water is clear."

   "Yes, the water is clear." Inspector Liu nodded.

  On both sides of the river, countless people rushed to watch.

   A group of men, with ropes tied to their bodies, jumped into the river, trying to find out.

  The merchant ship was blocked at the ferry, and there was a lot of people everywhere.

   "Master, do you want to send someone to check upstream and downstream immediately?"

   "No need." Zheng Wenyi's face was heavy, as if he didn't know how to react for a while.

   After all, he has never encountered such a situation in his life.

  Compared to him as a parent official, anyone here can panic, but he can't, let alone make trouble here, otherwise he must be the first to suffer.

So after taking a deep breath, Zheng Wenyi said calmly: "You can't block the ferry just because the water is clear. There are so many merchant ships congested here. If this continues, it's not an option. Send someone to divert them away immediately." , must not lead to human disasters because of this. All inspections, as well as servants, have to go to the countryside. The Yellow River is clear, which has not been seen in hundreds of years. Everywhere, we must take strict precautions."

Zheng Wen also paused, and then said: "Let the people from the emergency delivery shop come, and I will immediately repair a memorial. For such a big matter, I have to report it to the imperial court. Don't meddle, and do your own thing."

  Zheng Wen also said a series of arrangements with a serious expression.

  According to the Confucian idea of ​​interaction between heaven and man, all disasters and miracles in nature can be regarded as fables with intentions from heaven.

  For a county magistrate like him, he just needs to do his own thing well.

   As for what the fable is, that is something for the princes in the temple to interpret.

  He quickly stabilized the hearts of the people, let people guide the crowd, and then personally edited the book, and ordered people to send it out quickly.

  ...

   "Master, Master..."

   Before seeing anyone, he heard the voice first, and Wang Jinyuan crawled to find him.

  Seeing Wang Jinyuan's mournful expression, Fang Jifan wanted to beat him up, feeling that the good mood of the day was ruined by the sound.

  Fang Jifan said coldly: "What's the matter?"

   "Something has happened, something big has happened." Wang Jinyuan held his heart excitedly, and said with a heartbroken look: "Young master, on the exchange, the prices of many listed firms have fallen."

  Fang Jifan was also taken aback, his face became a little more cautious: "Why?"

   This was obviously beyond Fang Jifan's expectations. The old Fang's family had too much interest in the stock exchange.

  Moreover, most of the money in the palace is thrown in the exchange. Any abnormal fluctuations are not a joke. This may be the evaporation of millions of taels of silver.

Wang Jinyuan said with a sad face: "Since the debate between Li Chaowen and Wang Zuo, many people have said that Li Chaowen was instigated by the young master to deceive the king. Now Li Zhenren has become the laughing stock of Beijing. , It is spread everywhere, people say that he is unreasonable and rebellious. And this matter is related to the young master, the young master..."

   Well, Fang Jifan felt that his mood was unbearable.

   I don't know whether this is my misfortune or luck.

  The securities trading center can plummet only because of its own personal reasons.

   In fact, this is also understandable.

  The so-called stock price is nothing more than people's confidence in the future market.

  There are many reasons to support confidence, such as the expansion of market demand, such as the development of new markets, such as the innovation brought about by new technologies; all in all, all the possibilities that are good for the market are confidence.

  Fang Jifan... the same is true.

  In the eyes of many merchants, Fang Jifan is a barometer of the court's attitude towards merchants.

  If Fang’s surname is finished one day, the entire New Deal may also be finished, or it may be changed beyond recognition by the latecomers. This will cause a lot of uncertainty in the market, and naturally, the stock price will have to plummet.

  Fang Jifan looked speechless: "No way, I think that Li Chaowen's dog talk is very good, Huang Heqing, a sage; and Ziwei Xingqi Chong Wenqu..."

  Wang Jinyuan looked at Fang Jifan dumbly and remained silent.

  He is also speechless...

  Obviously, he didn't quite agree with Fang Jifan's one-sided cognition.

  Fang Jifan looked at Wang Jinyuan's depressed look, and sighed.

  The soldiers and civilians of this class are no good, they are so scientifically literate, relying on these, they can no longer be fooled.

  Fang Jifan couldn't help feeling relieved.

   After a while, Wang Jinyuan finally said: "Master, should we quickly sell some stocks out? Xishan has too many stocks, and they are all held here. If they are allowed to fall like this, then..."

  Fang Jifan was amused by him: "Whoever said you want to throw it away, buy it for me, how much they throw away, we buy as much, I don't believe in this evil."

  Wang Jinyuan looked at Fang Jifan in disbelief, but was frightened by Fang Jifan's decision.

  Young master, are you being angry?

   This is real money, not a matter of pique.

  It's just...Wang Jinyuan, who knows Fang Jifan's temperament well, dare not persuade him.

   After a while, Zhu Houzhao also found him.

   "Old Fang, I'm done..."

  He blinked, his eyes were watery, and he looked like he was about to shed tears, with a painful expression on his face.

  Fang Jifan saw his downcast appearance, but said patiently: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Xishan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was so powerful that it soared ten times. I felt that the stocks in my hand were not enough, so I searched for dozens of Taishan and asked them to pay for the money..."

   "Buy a lot?"

   Zhu Houzhao nodded.

   "The fall must have been hard."

   Zhu Houzhao nodded again.

  The more skyrocketing stocks are, the more vulnerable they are. Once any wind strikes the grass, it may cause a sharp drop.

  Fang Jifan patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "His Royal Highness, you must remember this lesson, but... Don't worry, Your Highness, the price will come back soon. How is your highness's new drug production going?"

  Research and development is one thing, how to transform the results of this research and development into mass production is the most important thing.

  If it cannot be produced on a large scale, but limited to the cultivation of so many medicines in the research institute every now and then, it will not make much sense.
