www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!

Dong Kangping's family really came to Linjiang Xishan and stayed in Xishan Villa.

Nowadays, Xishan has long lost its former prosperity. Of course, this is Dong Kangping’s first time coming to Xishan, and he doesn’t know what kind of prosperity there used to be here.

The buildings are still there, but many are empty.

There are still thirty guards left in the Xishan Villa. They are Xishan people who were eliminated by the Shenjian Army. They received Fu Xiaoguan's favor and still guard the courtyard carefully.

The building of Xishan Research Institute has become an empty shell. Yu Wendao seems to have no intention of restarting the research institute, or maybe he doesn’t know how to get started with this thing at all.

Only Xishan Academy, which once had thousands of students, now has more than a hundred students left.

These children all stayed because their families did not go to the Wu Dynasty - these families still guarded the young master's fields.

For some reason, Yu Wenwen didn't take back the fields that Fu Xiaoguan once owned. He didn't even take back the fiefdom in Xiacun that was once given to Fu Xiaoguan by Emperor Xuan.

Did he forget?

Apparently not.

Perhaps he left this place and the Holy Kingdom Palace in Jinling City as memories of his past.

In the side room of the inner courtyard of Xishan Villa, Dong Kangping and Qin Bingzhong sat facing each other while warming themselves over the stove.

"Mr. Qin...seeing that it's time for the students to have a holiday, I heard that Mo Wen will come back to Beijing this year, and Dingfang will come back as well. Will you go back to celebrate the New Year?"

Qin Bingzhong stroked his beard and grinned: "Dingfang, I sent him a letter telling him not to come back. What are you doing here? Chengye and Ruoxue are both in the Wu Dynasty now. He, the father, came back. , wouldn’t it be embarrassing to meet the emperor?”

Dong Kangping also laughed and shook his head, "Speaking of which, I was all implicated by the petty officials."

"That's wrong. It was Chengye's own idea to follow a small official. Now Chengye has become the dean of the scientific research institute... Do you think this is his destiny? Where does this destiny come from? From Fu Xiaoguan ”

"Chengye occasionally wrote to me, saying that he was very busy there, but felt that he was living a very fulfilling life. It was the life he wanted. He has never regretted it."

"Ruoxue is quite free, and now she is also in the research institute. The last letter she sent me said that she was studying something...cylinders, etc. Anyway, I couldn't understand it. She is also very happy, which means that she has found what she wants. This is the way to go."

Dong Kangping nodded slightly, "Mr. Qin, please move in with us. Now that I have no official position, I just want to ask you for advice on the Neo-Confucian Code."

Qin Bingzhong was not pretentious, "Then I've really moved here. Will it cause you any trouble?"

"What you said is obvious. It's just a matter of extra pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Besides, we can drink tea and chat at any time. Isn't this better?"

"I still have a few jars of good wine there. I left them to me when the official left. They have been stored in the cellar for three years. The taste is not comparable to that of Xishan Tianchu. I will ask a few people to move it over later. ”

"Hahaha...!"

The Xishan Villa, which had been silent for two years, was once again alive.

Dong Kangping did not bring many people, just his wife, three maids and five servants, but there was often laughter in the yard.

Dong Kangping was once a talented man in Jinling, but now he and Qin Bingzhong were sitting and discussing Taoism, talking about the Neo-Confucian code and the ancient sacred books. Although the days were dull, they were extremely peaceful.

On such a day, one day, an old man came to Xishan Villa. He was Cai Xi, the old shopkeeper of Yu Fu Ji.

He came to the brewery here in Xishan to buy a batch of wine, and chatted with Dong Kangping in the study room of Xishan Villa for a whole night.

The next day Cai Xi left Xishan Villa and returned to Linjiang. The shop called Yu Fuji closed its doors for the first time. No one knew where the old shopkeeper had gone, but the aroma of the wine in the shop was still there. Rich.

……

……

Now the shopkeeper of Jinling Sitong Bank is Chang Yu, the cousin of Chang Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Chang Yu, who used to be in charge of Chang's huge family business in Jiangnan Province, has been in charge of Sitong Bank for more than three months. He roughly understood the stock thing, but after careful study, he noticed many problems.

He really wanted to cancel this thing, but Chang Huan did not agree, because the three main stocks of Sitong Bank are Chen's Salt Industry, Zhou's Mining and Lu's Shipping.

These three major families have raised tens of millions of taels of money through the discovery of stocks. If they close the stocks, they must buy back the stocks in the hands of those investors.

But now they have invested a lot of money in their respective industries, and they also hold at least 30% of their respective stocks.

If they are shut down and cannot compensate, most of the people in Jinling City have bought their stocks. If they lose their money for no reason, they will definitely cause trouble.

The most annoying thing for Your Majesty now is when someone makes trouble, so Chang Yu had to give up the idea and never paid attention to this thing again - anyway, no new stocks are found anymore. These things in the pool, Just let them mess around inside.

He did not notice the changes in these three stocks over the past few days. Ten days ago, these three stocks were rising steadily, and ten days later they were slowly falling.

For this phenomenon, the stock investors in Jinling City have long been accustomed to it. The stock market just goes up and down. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, someone must be selling. They might as well buy some more while it is falling.

This situation has been going on, but there is still not much difference. Occasionally, it will rise a little one day, and then fall for two or three days, and so on, until December 28th.

The stock market was closed, Stone Bank was closed, and everyone was locked up. Chang Yu accidentally took a look and found that more than 10 million shares of these three stocks had been traded in just twenty days.

This is normal, Chang Yu didn't take it to heart at all. Under his instructions, all the accounting documents were put into the warehouse and closed, and the market was on holiday, and the market would reopen on the fifth day of the first lunar month next year.

The Imperial Study Room of the Imperial Palace of the Yu Dynasty.

The imperial court is also preparing for a holiday.

Today, the Ministry of Household Affairs sent a year's income and expenditure details, which were placed on Yu Wenwen's desk.

Of course this data is not pretty, so Yu Wenwen frowned, looked at Chang Huan and asked: "Hasn't the white salt market been taken back by Chen's salt? How come this year, the Communist Party of China has only More than 18 million taels of tax revenue? ”

“Back to Your Majesty, White Salt’s tax revenue has been recovered, but this year’s commercial tax revenue is 40% less than last year. This is because Wo Fengdao canceled the tax exemption policy, otherwise it would still be less.”

Yu Wenwen was very depressed, "People don't have money to spend? I think they are still very rich buying stocks."

Chang Huan added: "There are two reasons. First, the five major business families in our dynasty moved almost all their business to Wu Dynasty. Second...in the Free Trade City, a lot of goods flowed into it. In our country, most of these goods were produced by our former merchants.”

"Their taxes stayed with the Wu Dynasty, but their goods were sold to the Yu Dynasty."
