Leady gray clouds gradually filled the sky above Jinling City.

The falling snow fell again.

The city of Jinling was lit up with thousands of lights, and the boat painted by red sleeves was naturally lit up with red lanterns.

Tonight's Red Sleeve Moves seemed to be livelier earlier than in the past. When Fu Xiaoguan boarded the Red Sleeve Moves, he heard noisy sounds on the third floor:

"You don't know, I spent a lot of effort to buy a thousand shares of stock..."

"What are stocks?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, brother Gongsun is really deaf to what's going on outside the window. That's a new thing launched by Mr. Fu Xiaoguan himself. Four million shares were issued for two taels of silver per share. In less than a day, they were gone. ! ”

"..." Gongsun Ke was stunned for a while, feeling a little disappointed. It was something made by his mentor, and it must be excellent. He was obsessed with economic policy these days, but he missed this good thing.

Huo Huaijin and Ning Yuchun were sitting in the corner. They originally invited Fu Xiaoguan to come here to listen to music and drink, but they did not expect that Jinke Jinshi would be celebrating here.

There were too many people and it was not a good place to chat, so the two looked at each other, got up and walked out of the third floor, and happened to meet Fu Xiaoguan on the second floor.

"Unfortunately, let's change the place and go to Sifanglou."

"What?"

“To obtain an official position in this department, the place for Jinshi gathering was reserved by the students of the academy.”

Fu Xiaoguan turned around and left. After all, he was still a professor in the academy. If the teacher left, how could the students have fun?

The three of them landed ashore, took a carriage together, and drove towards Sifanglou.

"Who is the top scholar in this subject?" Fu Xiaoguan asked.

Huo Huaijin didn't care about this, so Ning Yuchun said with a smile: "Gongsun Ce is the number one winner, Shang Liang is the second best, Sima Nan is the third most popular..."

Ning Yuchun looked at Fu Xiaoguan and said: "It seems that two of them followed you to the Wu Dynasty, and coincidentally, the policy His Majesty made during the imperial examination was actually about this new policy.

The policy paper was titled "On the Pros and Cons of the New Deal for the Country." The answers given by these three people were said to be brilliant, and they were affirmed by His Majesty on the spot. Afterwards, a theory circulated in the academy that you told the students a lot about the New Deal on the way to Wu Dynasty, so these two people's views were quite novel and in line with His Majesty's wishes. ”

Fu Xiaoguan naturally remembered Gongsun Ce and Shang Liang, but asked, "Who is this Sima Nan?"

"Sima Yingqiu, Wang Sun of Bianhe River, Sangxiang Lu family, and Linzi Zhongyu, these are the five famous business families in the Yu Dynasty! You are not a very professional businessman."

Fu Xiaoguan chuckled and asked, "Are these four families?"

"Linzi Zhongyu refers to the Zhong family and the Yu family."

Fu Xiaoguan suddenly realized that Yingqiu is on the Jiangnan East Road, Bianhe River is on the Huainan Road, Sangxiang is on the Shannan East Road, and Linzi is on the Jiannan East Road.

These four places have excellent transportation and suitable environment. The city is considered large in today's world, so business prosperity is normal. Fu Xiaoguan did not ask more questions.

Since Sima Nan comes from a business family, he naturally supports the New Deal, and the education he received is presumably related to business.

These three people are talented people. Fu Xiaoguan changed his mind and made up his mind. He must get these three people.

The three of them boarded the Sifang Building and were still sitting around in the private room on the third floor.

The shopkeeper of Sifanglou is now personally waiting on Fu Xiaoguan. This newly wealthy man in Beijing is a great customer.

"As usual, but today it's just the three of us, the variety will be reduced, the style will be more refined, and a pot of good tea will be served first."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now!"

When the shopkeeper came downstairs, Huo Huaijin smiled and said, "You have a family now. I want to invite you out for dinner and wine, but I have to be more considerate... Do the sisters-in-law have any objections?"

Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand, "It's okay, old men should still drink when they get married."

"This sentence is clear!" Ning Yuchun praised, "I am much older than you, so it's not the same? There is no reason for women to control you!"

Ning Yuchun then changed the topic, looked at Fu Xiaoguan, and asked: "This guy has sold out all your stocks. To tell you the truth, there are quite a few people who came to my Yamen today to express their love. How about you?" Almost all of them are big businessmen in the capital... How about selling it for 8 million?"

Fu Xiaoguan glared at Ning Yuchun, "How is this possible?"

"Why not? Exchange paper for money, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Fu Xiaoguan thought for a moment and explained: "This is not a matter of exchanging paper for silver. When it was originally designed, it was four million shares. The eight million taels of silver raised will be sprinkled on the sixteenth after the new year. In the next six months, the money spent in each pilot county will not generate any profits because the workshops will be established."

"So there will be no dividends in the first two quarters of next year. Profits will only be generated when the goods are circulated and sold. I roughly estimate that if you want to get dividends, it will have to be at least the end of next year."

"And why can't this thing be issued randomly? Because we have to be responsible for every investor! The more stocks are issued, the more people will pay dividends. By then, there won't be much money distributed. This stock will be listed and traded. After that, it won’t be sold for much... Tell me, who will still believe in Xishan Shares?”

“If financing is needed to expand production capacity later, who would dare to buy Xishan stocks again?”

Ning Yuchun and Huo Huaijin pondered for a moment, roughly understood the meaning, and then suddenly realized.

This paper really cannot be exchanged for money!

The three of them were chatting, and the food and wine were on the table, but before they had even had two drinks, there was a sound of stepping on the stairs.

Jinling Mansion Yamen Jingyu Guard Qianhu Jin Haozhi ran in in a hurry.

He bowed:

"Sir, there has been a riot in the slums north of the city."

Ning Yuchun frowned, "How serious is the situation?"

"Three people died and five houses burned down."

"What caused it?"

"...a...steamed bun!"

Jin Qianhu described the entire incident in detail:

A seven-year-old boy stole a steamed bun from Tang Kee Steamed Bun Shop in the evening. He was discovered by Tang Buyong, the owner of Tang Kee. Naturally, he refused and chased after him with a knife for cutting noodles.

He caught the little boy. If the little boy returned the bun to him, this matter would be over.

But the little boy firmly protected the steamed bun and took a bite from Tang Buyong. Tang Buyong became angry and stabbed the little boy in the stomach with a knife.

The people in the slums immediately rioted. The little boy's father and the poor people here surrounded him and beat Tang Buyong to death. Tang Buyong stabbed to death a helping man before he died.

So the anger of the people in the slums was completely ignited. They rushed into the Tangji Steamed Bun Shop. A guy robbed all the steamed buns here and set the shop on fire.

Fu Xiaoguan frowned, "Is this slum area...so poor?"

He did not say chaos, because the cause of chaos is poverty!

"That shabby place is a bad place in Jinling City! There are more refugees coming from both sides of the Yellow River this year. Alas... they are also pitiful people!"
