Royal Gold Magistrate

Chapter 1024 Please Your Majesty Come to the Exchange?

After the two sat down, Fang Zheng asked with a smile, "Master Xu, why did you come to ask the exchange at night?"

Xu Wenshu sighed: "Master Hou, don't hide it, there is the shadow of Master Hou behind the exchange, you also want to facilitate this matter, right?"

"I have studied the research institute carefully these days, and I think this method is really powerful, and it can also alleviate many problems of the household department."

"But once the household department intervenes, it will inevitably cause turmoil among the people."

"Hou Ye has always been unconstrained, and has a deeper understanding of these new things than ordinary people, so I want to ask Hou Ye what he thinks today."

Xu Wenshu is a straightforward person.

Fangzheng said with all his heart.

Picking up the teapot and pouring him a cup of tea, he said, "Since you're being honest, let me just say that there is nothing wrong with the imperial court's direct intervention, and you can do it boldly and with confidence."

"But the problems that will arise later..."

"Didn't Liu Zhongshun go to you? Didn't he give you some advice?" Fang Zhengyi asked.

"Of course it was mentioned, and the content is very comprehensive, but the plan is a plan after all, and there will inevitably be mistakes in its implementation." Xu Wenshu worried.

Fangzheng felt a little helpless.

Sometimes it is very troublesome to do things in the court.

Always come up with a perfect solution and don't want to take any responsibility, but how is this possible?

Now that his peaches have been planted, people still have various concerns in their hearts when sending them out.

Really troublesome.

"Master Xu, I still say the same thing, let go and do it! No matter what the consequences are, it's not too late to do it first and then change it. Manpower is exhausted sometimes, and everything is not perfect. If you always talk about him, then nothing will happen." Can't do it."

"Liu Zhongshun, a small businessman, was able to successfully create and manage this earth-shattering exchange. It can be seen that this is in line with the trend. Why doesn't the court have the courage and ability?"

Xu Wenshu shook his head: "It's not that I don't have the guts. If you can't explain the inside story and future hidden dangers in detail, even if you get it to the court, you will definitely not pass it, and you will even be stopped directly. If you want to do this, you only have one chance to succeed, so You must be very careful!"

"In fact, quite a few people in the court have noticed the exchange, but they have been keeping it secret and going privately. It is nothing more than not optimistic about the future of the exchange. Once the court finds out, there is a great chance that it will be shut down."

"Master Fang should understand this better than I do."

Fangzheng nodded slightly, and took a long breath: "I know the situation, but I want to know Master Xu's attitude, do you want it to be turned on or not?"

Xu Wenshu struggled for a moment, and finally said affirmatively: "I think I can give it a try, and I hope that if the imperial court intervenes, each transaction will be guaranteed by the imperial court and some fees will be collected. .”

Good guy, the idea is to hit the transaction fee, it really deserves to be a professional money maker.

Fang Zheng patted the table lightly: "Okay! Since you are willing, then we can find a way to solve it."

"This matter seems to have a lot of hidden dangers in the court, but there are already many people who have secretly benefited from it, which shows that we have a basis for support, so the only problem is His Majesty, as long as His Majesty makes a decision , that shouldn't be a problem."

Xu Wenshu was overjoyed: "Are you going to persuade His Majesty?"

Relying on the trust of His Majesty Fang Zhengyi, coupled with his non-stop chattering, it seems that it is not too difficult to convince him.

Unexpectedly, Fangzheng denied it: "This matter will involve countless people. What's the use of me talking to His Majesty with empty teeth, we have to speak with facts."

"Speak with facts?"

"Yes." Fangzheng nodded and said, "Let His Majesty see the benefits of it, settle the matter first, and make up for it bit by bit if there are problems later."

"Then how to speak with facts."

Fang Zhengyi leaned forward slightly, and said in a soft voice: "List the railway directly, let the people buy stocks, and find a chance to ask His Majesty to go to the exchange to watch it in person."

Xu Wenshu's eyes widened suddenly: "Master Hou, although you created the train and railway, now it is not just your business alone. Do you know what the consequences will be if you rashly listed it without the court's discussion?"

Fangzheng touched his chin and said, "Of course I know, but I'm not afraid! This is following the trend of history. Even if you and I don't do it, someone will do it sooner or later."

"Master Xu, think about it. The current expenditure on trains and railways has overwhelmed the imperial court, and the joint military department of Dongjiao University is still secretly developing new warships."

"You probably don't know the details, so let me explain to you first. The warship is driven by a steam engine and covered with iron armor. The cost is definitely different from that of a wooden ship, but the court still urgently needs a large number of ordinary merchant ships. , The ironclad ship is also verifying the feasibility, and has not yet started construction."

"If it is proven to be feasible in the future, the imperial government will build ironclad ships, which will be equivalent to many more sea trains. According to the current tax increase, do you think the Ministry of Households can bear it?"

Xu Wenshu was so shocked that he lost his voice and shouted: "Iron armored ship!? That thing must not sink into the sea!"

Fangzheng smiled and said: "Who knows? So no one knows that the car can run by itself. Not many people know about this, so don't go out and make a fuss."

"That's natural..." Xu Wenshu's chest rose and fell, obviously greatly stimulated.

He had to believe what Fang Zhengyi said!

The Eastern Suburb University train has been produced, and it does not seem strange to produce an iron-clad ship at sea in the future...

Iron ships... How much does that cost?

According to his current body, it should not be a problem to work in the position of Hubu Shangshu for eight or nine years.

In case this matter can't be dragged on to the next one, it will fall on him!

No... still have to find a way from the exchange...

"Let's talk about your majesty going to the exchange, what are you going to do then?"

Fang Zhengyi observed his expression, and said: "Actually, there is nothing difficult. When the train and railway are listed on the market, His Majesty will be delighted to see countless people's money pouring into it. It will promote the construction of the railway. It will be a matter of course."

"However, there is still some preparatory work to be done before that. I will let the Banshan Daily start reporting the good news of the exchange, so that His Majesty can briefly understand some of the news."

"Then you will occasionally write to His Majesty to explain how the exchange works and what are the benefits."

"The follow-up is for me to do. I will find people to arrange the preparatory work for the listing of the train and railway. I can invite His Majesty to watch it on the day of listing. What do you think?"

"Actually, you don't have to worry about it. I am in charge of the train and railway in name, and most of the risks are with me. What do you think?"

Xu Wenshu frowned deeply, and fell into great entanglement.

It sounds too simple, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.

But... there's nothing wrong with that.

"Okay, shall we try then?"

"Try it!"

......

(I came back very late today, I should finish my work, and I will resume normal updates tomorrow, sorry everyone.)
