Since Fang Zhengyi’s visit that day.
The concept of exchange began to linger in Xu Wenshu's mind.
This method is undoubtedly a powerful tool to solve the problem of household affairs, but there is no precedent for it, which always makes people worried.
It is a weapon of the country, and the people get a share of it. No one knows whether it is good or bad.
So on the next day, Xu Wenshu disguised himself and took the initiative to find the exchange.
The exchange was still as usual, and the sky was filled with excitement.
People's faces are full of naked desires and interests.
He didn't like this situation, but the matter was so important that he had to sit down patiently.
It takes half a day just to sit...
After several days of continuous observation, the more I watched, the more frightened I became!
The amount and speed of money flowing in this exchange is simply staggering. What's more important is that almost all listed businesses are rising!
The most exaggerated thing is that a stock related to an iron factory has risen from one or two taels to as much as 2 taels in just a few days!
A red card represents an increase and a green card represents a decrease.
The whole hall was filled with red... It seemed that everything was perfect and no one suffered any loss.
And he unexpectedly saw many familiar faces inside.
There are people in the DPRK who have come here to speculate in stocks, but there is no discussion on the surface, and everyone is making a fortune in silence below...
Seeing this scene, Xu Wenshu was not only not happy, but also depressed...
Perfect...everything on display is too perfect.
He has long passed the age of being passionate and impulsive, and now he is experienced in many battles!
For most of his life, he has never seen anything except potatoes, sweet potatoes, hot air balloons, penicillin, trains, steam engines, Eastern Suburbs University...
There can't be anything perfect in the world, and there must be huge hidden dangers behind it that haven't exploded yet.
It's just that he hasn't figured out what the hidden danger is and how much negative impact it will have.
Moreover, the people behind the exchange are quite mysterious, and he has never found out...
On this day, Xu Wenshu was on duty as usual. As soon as he walked to the door, his figure suddenly staggered.
Fortunately, there was a subordinate beside him who helped him with quick hands and eyes: "Hey, sir, please be careful about the threshold. Why have you been so distracted when I saw you recently? Could it be that something happened at home?"
Xu Wenshu stood still, waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "Nothing, nothing."
The subordinate asked: "Is that because the Ministry of Industry came to ask for money again at noon today?"
Xu Wenshu frowned and said: "What? The Ministry of Industry came to ask for money again at noon? Didn't they promise to grant one hundred thousand taels? Why hasn't it been finished yet? How much do they want?"
The subordinate whispered: "They said that the Ministry of Industry will build five new workshops, and the specifications must exceed those of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and they must recruit a large number of manpower, so one hundred thousand taels is far from enough... at least another one million taels!"
"What!" Xu Wenshu was furious, "Last time I asked for one million taels, but now one million is not enough. I want one million and one hundred thousand!?"
The subordinate smiled bitterly: "I may know something inside. I heard that the Ministry of Industry went to study at Dongjiao University. I wanted to invite a group of teachers to teach at the Ministry of Industry, but they were declined. They also secretly laughed at the Ministry of Industry. Poor people, without decent craftsmanship, unable to learn and understand, the Royal Academy of Sciences can replace them in the future."
"Later Jiang Shangshu found out about this and was so angry that he sent it to the imperial doctor. Fortunately, it was nothing serious. But the Ministry of Industry was slapped in the face, so it had to make comprehensive changes and prepare to overwhelm the opponent. However, there are many equipments They all have to be ordered from Taoyuan County, and the prices charged there are really cruel...so the budget has increased."
Xu Wen trembled in bookish tone: "Why are the people from the Royal Academy of Sciences so rude! Why did Fang Zhengyi control it? They fight and the fire is burned on my head? It's really unreasonable!"
"Who says it's not the case? The official has already pushed it for you. Just calm down."
Xu Wenshu waved his hand helplessly: "I'm leaving first. If the Ministry of Works comes back for this matter in the future, I'll hold you back! Let's see who can afford it!"
After returning home, Xu Wenshu leaned weakly in the study.
Bad things happen one after another... Recently, for some reason, there have been more and more people asking for money.
How to deal with it...
Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, a servant suddenly came to report: "Master, there is someone outside the house asking for an audience with a greeting card. The man's name is Liu Zhongshun and he claims to be an ordinary businessman. Master, do you want to drive him away?"
Liu Zhongshun, this name sounds a bit familiar.
It seems like they are selling houses in Taoyuan New City.
Xu Wenshu thought for a while, reacted, and asked, "Why did he come to see me?"
"He didn't say, but it seems he brought a lot of books to see you."
Book? interesting.
Xu Wenshu stroked his beard and said, "Let him wait for me in the hall."
....
in the hall.
Liu Zhongshun waited anxiously in his seat, next to a pile of exchange information.
This is all the statistical information since the establishment of the exchange.
The master sent me a letter earlier to inform me that arrangements have been made.
Now the last step is missing. I don’t know what Shangshu Xu is like, whether he can speak well.
Except for the master, he had never dealt with such a high official, and he really didn't know what he was doing.
He kept rehearsing his words in his mind, and Xu Wenshu had already changed into his regular clothes and walked out of the side door.
Seeing his master appear, Liu Zhongshun quickly stood up and saluted: "Liu Zhongshun, a common man, has met Mr. Xu!"
Xu Wenshu waved his hand: "Ah, there is no need to be polite. I have some impression of you. Taoyuan New City is your property, right? You are from Jianyehou."
Liu Zhongshun said hurriedly: "No, no, the grassroots are indeed from Taoyuan County, but they have nothing to do with our master. Taoyuan New City is my property."
"Hey, what are you pretending to be? Just forget about deceiving outsiders with those words! Why did you come to see me? Is there something wrong with the house?" Xu Wenshu asked.
This minister speaks upright!
Liu Zhongshun felt a lot more relaxed. Dealing with smart people often saves worries.
So he patted a pile of books on the desk and said straight to the point: "The reason why Caomin came this time is not because of the house. In fact, there are other important things!"
"I wonder if Mr. Xu has ever heard of the recently popular exchange in Beijing. The exchange was established by Cao Min himself!"
Xu Wenshu showed surprise: "Are you the master behind the exchange? Why did you come to see me?"
Liu Zhongshun suddenly bowed to Xu Wenshu, and his face became extremely solemn for a moment: "The exchange has always been run by the private sector and is also controlled by merchants. This is definitely not a long-term solution! Especially many merchants are greedy for profit and want to take advantage of the loopholes to make huge profits. !”
"The original intention of the grassroots to establish the exchange was good. However, as the exchange grows day by day, many problems will be exposed sooner or later. And it has a bearing on countless people. It cannot be shut down, so the grassroots boldly want to ask Mr. Xu to supervise it!"
"No one can compare with me in terms of financial ability. Please give me a helping hand and help the people of the world. Don't let them become wild horses that run wild and do whatever they want!"
Seeing Liu Zhongshun's sincere expression, Xu Wenshu suddenly felt like he was in a dream.
Are you the one who runs the exchange?
