The Eight Banners Group of the Manchu Qing Dynasty surrendered in the face of the new world. The Qingliu people also raised the white flag after receiving a little threat. Not only did they raise the white flag, they even secretly wanted to take a bite!
On the way back home in Weng Tonghe's sedan chair, he saw his disciples sneaking around the exchange at least three times!
What on earth do they want to do? You can guess it without asking. Faced with such a huge temptation, who can resist it?
"Hey...just turn a blind eye! In this world, good people really have no way to survive!"
September 15th is not only the day when 17 Chinese stocks are listed, it is also the day when the Standard Index is released in Beijing!
The standard index is compiled by Huazhong based on the experience of the American Dow Jones Index. The current number of points is 1646 points. The Jingshi Exchange Index was specially compiled from the ground up in order to be different from the Chinese index.
From this day on, the standard index was divided into two teams: Qingbiao and Huabiao. The indexes were calculated separately, but they all influenced each other!
The Qingguo Standard Index opened at 1,000 points on September 15th. The market was hot for one day, causing all stock prices to rise significantly. The Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock directly hit ten yuan, and the popularity in the market suddenly surged. !
After the market closed, the index soared by 300 points, closing at 1303 points. The market value increased by 30% in one day!
Now it was time to see the money. Everyone inside and outside the capital, from the palace to the nobles, from the civil and military officials to the merchants and common people, were all as happy as if they were drunk!
All the restaurants, tea shops, flower streets and willow alleys were full. The curfew order had lost its effect today. King Yu's men were unable to catch him. It had completely become a situation where the law was not punished.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and there were many people drinking and making trouble in groups on the street. Xiao Huang arrested the boss and others first and then the second. As a result, he caught a lot of babies and Belles. !
You can punish one or two, but now there are three cells full, with more than 200 cells in total. How to release these drunkards tomorrow is a problem!
These people are all powerful. When the time comes, the families of these nobles and those Manchu aunts will be able to scratch Xiao Huang and their faces all over!
King Yu also knew that it was difficult to handle, so he let him go quickly. All the police stations in the capital were turned into nursing brigades. They woke up hundreds of rickshaw pullers overnight and wrote them instructions to allow these people to deliver drunken food in the middle of the night. guests go home.
Except for the fact that the city gate cannot be opened, these people can move around freely in other places!
For example, if you get drunk in Nancheng, you are allowed to go back to your home in Nancheng late at night, but if you want to go to your home in Beicheng from Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen, it is impossible.
The same goes for the inner city. In addition to not being able to go to the south city if you are drunk, there are no restrictions on rickshaws taking you back to your home in the north city!
King Yu did not expect that his exception would actually record history. From this day on, the curfew system that had been implemented in China for thousands of years would be cracked open!
From this day on, people who drink late at night and are hungover can take a rickshaw back to their homes. As long as they don't disturb the city defense system, no one will care about you!
What is very strange is that there is no time limit for the more than 100 road notes sent out, and no one asks these drivers to take them back!
As a result, a hundred people including the chatty driver actually became the first special group in the Qing Dynasty to have the right to drive at night. These roads were like taxi licenses in later generations, becoming a pass for running at night. license!
This was originally a flaw caused by the carelessness of the Qing Dynasty officials in their administration, but no one expected that such a night road license would become the beginning of a new industry!
The chatty coachman is no longer just a coachman. People around him see nothing different about him. He still sleeps in Datongbu and eats old pickles!
She works harder than anyone else every day. When she has money, she saves it up. It is said that she sends it back to her parents back home to be her wife!
No one has the time to talk to him. He is busy working day in and day out. He spends his free time drinking to relieve his fatigue. Who cares if he is a talkative poor guy!
But no one knew that this talkative man was already quite a wealthy man. Two hundred shares of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway were now worth more than two thousand silver dollars. He was already a very wealthy man in the coachman business!
By this time, the Fucha family's rickshaw industry had already grown. A brand-new rickshaw cost one hundred silver dollars. The owner of the rickshaw rented by Chatterbox actually only owned five rickshaws. These five rickshaws could The boss who supports me doesn’t do any work every day!
Chatterbox gradually started to think about it. Ever since he started paying attention to the stock market, he suddenly became fond of learning. He had already studied and his family conditions were very good when he was a child, but he later became poor!
This talkative man often collects some expired newspapers from everyone and reads the news in them. Over time, his vision is really different from other coachmen!
On the first day, the chatty coachman took the guests home with the night route and made a small profit of three silver dollars. He thought he would not be able to run away the next day, but he did not expect that no one took away the route and kept it in their hands. On!
The road rules are a good thing, there is no time limit, and there is also the seal of Prince Yu's government office. This talkative person is a bit brave and wants to try it.
The next day, he deliberately did not go home. Instead, he parked the foreign car at the entrance of the alley next to Quanjude, Dashilar, and quietly waited for work. He wanted to take a gamble and see if the road could still be used. !
It was ten o'clock, and the last table of guests walked out of the restaurant drunk. They couldn't tell the difference between day and night. When they saw a rickshaw, they climbed on.
"Xianyukou... let's go... let's go... Xianyukou..."
With a snap, this drunkard lost two silver dollars in a transaction that normally cost only fifty cents. He looked like one of those people who made a fortune by speculating in the stock market during the day.
Chatterbox put away his money, looked at the dark street scene around him, and finally ran, challenging the curfew system!
In the quiet night, there was just this one rickshaw running. It was as quiet as it wanted, and as crowded as it wanted. The bright kerosene lamp in front of the rickshaw illuminated the road ahead. After a while, two night watchmen came. The police stopped me.
"What's going on? Dare you rush into the street? Don't you know the curfew? What time is it..."
"Hey... you two gentlemen... I, I... I have a note..." Chatterbox's legs trembled with fear, and he handed over the note tremblingly.
The two policemen were stunned for a moment, then looked at the road sign and looked at each other, "Hey... yes, it was a night traffic sign issued yesterday... What, what should I do?"
"I don't know? You didn't tell us when you went up to the peak. You didn't give us any explanation? The seals on this road are genuine at first glance..."
Chatterbox quickly knelt down when he heard this, "Two gentlemen! I wouldn't dare to lie even if I had the courage to do so. It's really opened in the yamen! I said you can run away at night... for the nobles of the palace who are in the flag." Send him home!"
"Look, this uncle must be a bannerman, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to go home so late! You are so noble..."
"I just earned one silver dollar from this job... You two, take it and have some tea. Don't catch the little one!"
Looking at the talkative guy who is willing to kowtow and pay bribes, plus the fact that the road at night is real, you can't say that he is fake.
The two looked at each other and smiled, "Okay! You can go on with your work! But I have agreed not to disturb the people! Be quiet!"
After saying this, blow the edge of the silver dollar, put it to your ear and listen happily!
The chatty coachman jumped up and thanked him profusely. He dragged the drunkard who was sleeping like a pig and ran forward. Although he was given a silver dollar as a bribe, he was very happy because he had found a huge business opportunity!
That night, Chatterbox made three trips by relying on this route and earned three yuan!
The next day, the third day after the road notes were distributed, he secretly did business with his colleagues.
"Brother...did you lose the road sign that night? It's better if you didn't. Sell it to me...I helped others collect it!"
"Is fifty cents okay? It's useless for you to hold it? Oops... Eight cents, no more, I'm just helping others!"
"One piece... Ouch, come on, just one piece, who told us to have a good relationship!"
This talkative guy is a business wizard. He bought 88 night driving directions in three days and spent a total of 91 silver dollars!
