West Chang'an Street, Xufu.

The sound of 'popping' kept ringing in the study.

I saw Xu Fan holding a board that was an inch wide and beating his son one after another.

Xu Yuanchun was lying on the stool, biting a cotton towel in his mouth, his body was constantly writhing with his father's whipping, and his face changed with various painful expressions.

"Master, stop fighting." Ji Shi saw that his son's cheeks were swollen into hair cakes, so he had to have the courage to hold Xu Fan's arm and begged bitterly: "What heinous thing did Yuan Chun do to let you fight to death?" ”

"Ask him yourself!" Xu Fan's anger did not subside, and he pointed at his son with a board and scolded: "My old Xu family's face has been lost by him!" ”

"Ah, Yuanchun, what did you do?" Ji Shi was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly ripped off the cotton towel from his son's mouth.

"Woo, mother, I just lost the bet, and I want to worship someone else as a teacher." Xu Fan cried with tears in his eyes: "I don't want to worship this teacher either, but who can really let the family go to heaven?" Li Maocai and Chen Yiqin refused to repent, and I didn't count it alone, so I lost the face of our Xu family. ”

"You fart, when did our Xu family have this house rule?!" Taking advantage of his wife's inattention, Xu Fan slapped another board on Xu Yuanchun's cheek.

Xu Yuanchun didn't stuff anything in his mouth this time, and he snorted in pain, almost tearing off the roof.

"Give me a little quiet!" Xu Fan hurriedly glared at him and said, "Your grandfather took medicine and just fell asleep." ”

"......" Xu Yuanchun sobbed and didn't dare to speak, and said in his heart that if you don't fight, won't I stop screaming?

"Master, it's just a teacher, the child is playing, what a big deal." Ji took the opportunity to snatch the board from Xu Fan's hand.

"What's the matter?" Xu Fan was so angry that he said with a gesture: "What an important day today, there are still two or three thousand students in the Manchu Dynasty, and they are concentrating on listening to their father's lectures!" As a result, a big ball fell from the sky and almost detained my father in it! ”

"The one flying in the sky?" Today, when Ji and a group of ladies visited the garden, they also saw the big colored balls that crossed the sky over the capital, and everyone praised it at that time.

"I didn't expect it to be for my father-in-law......"

"You didn't expect a lot of things!" I heard Xu Fan say angrily again: "Do you know who else is on the balloon except for the kid surnamed Zhao?" ”

"Who else?"

"Lanling County Lord!" Xu Fan let out a low roar and was about to kick his son's ass again. "What's the use of me asking for this idiot? He saw that the county lord was snatched away by a kid surnamed Zhao, not only did he want to take revenge, but he also wanted to worship others as teachers! How did I give birth to such a wretch! ”

Seeing that Xu Fan was about to go crazy again, Ji hurriedly stopped her husband on the one hand, and said to her son on the other: "You go quickly, evil obstacles." Still messing with your dad here?! ”

"Hey, go back and reflect." Xu Yuanchun couldn't care about the hot pain in his stomach, so he hurriedly got up and put his pants on his hands, and said with his neck held up while running out: "The child will not give up." The days are still long, maybe he likes other girls again, and I have a chance......"

"You hear, do people say?" Xu Fan laughed angrily: "It's the first time I've heard that there are still queues for this kind of thing!" ”

"Hey, this kid is too honest." As soon as his son went out, Ji quickly closed the door, lest her husband would chase him out.

"But didn't the master lead him to this path? I don't understand, what kind of girl like ours doesn't pick casually, do you have to marry that unruly county lord? ”

"You know what!" Xu Fan sat down indignantly.

"Yes, I don't understand anything." Ji brought her husband a cup of tea, and sighed distressedly: "I just pity my eight thousand taels of silver." ”

"What eight thousand taels of silver?" Xu Fan frowned and asked.

"You've been busy for the past two days, so I didn't bother to tell you." Ji took out a few stocks of Royal Xishan Coal Industry from his sleeve and said, "This is what the eldest princess invited us that day and sold to us. The concubine originally thought that since Yuan Chun likes the county lord, and you have always wanted to marry the eldest princess, she gritted her teeth and subscribed for her 800 shares. ”

"Eight hundred shares, so many?" Xu Fan was taken aback at first.

According to the custom at this time, people often say 'one share', which is one percent of the shares, and I have never heard of anyone's trading that can be divided into 800 shares.

However, after reading the words on the stock, he smiled dumbly: "It turns out that there are 100,000 shares...... Ten taels of silver per share is one million taels. It seems that our eldest princess is really unwilling to be lonely. ”

"I heard that she is going to open a coal mine in Xishan." Ji told Xu Fan what he heard, 1510: "It seems that more than 2,000 coal kilns have been bought, and the road in Xishan has to be rebuilt." ”

The eldest princess didn't elaborate on the acquisition of coal kilns, and the Ji family couldn't figure out what coal kilns and waste coal kilns were, so they all took it as one thing.

"That's a lot of money." Xu Fan couldn't help but gasp, and said in her heart that it seems that after the eldest princess withdrew from the imperial property, she smashed all her net worth into Xishan.

He shook the eight hundred shares in his hand, and couldn't help laughing: "I see that your eight thousand taels of silver will make a steady profit." ”

"Really?" Ji Shi was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's great." Why don't I buy more? ”

"No, no." Xu Fan nodded.

In this era, all wealthy people face the same dilemma, that is, there is an extreme lack of investment channels.

In addition to a series of upstream and downstream businesses related to overseas trade, the most lucrative trading is Qianzhuang and salt merchants.

But both of these industries are saturated, and they have their own thresholds. Even if it is a force like the Xu family, it is very difficult to intervene, let alone other rich people.

Even the overseas trade itself, the participants in each upstream and downstream industry have already negotiated a number. No one can sell a bunch of silk or a pound of tea.

So there is no incentive to expand reproduction either.

Unable to find a place to invest, the huge amount of silver that flowed into the country from overseas trade could only be squandered, so it could only be stored.

But who wants silver to grow hair in the cellar? Is there any difference between the silver that is piled up there and has nowhere to go, and the earth?

It was Xiaoge who foresaw the money situation of Xishan Coal Industry, and immediately encouraged his wife to invest more.

"I'm afraid it's enough for a while." Who knew that Ji was in trouble.

"Listening to the eldest princess, she doesn't lack this money at all. It was she who persuaded her to take out 5,000 shares and divide them, so that everyone would follow suit. ”

"Who is she?" Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a name and said, "It can't be the kid surnamed Zhao, right?" ”

"It seems that the real surname is Zhao." Ji frowned and thought bitterly: "Oh yes, it's called Zhao Hao." ”

"Sure enough, it's him!" Xu Fan's face changed when he landed, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't vote, you will also return these 800 shares to me!" ”

"Huh? As for such a big feud? Ji couldn't help but be puzzled: "Doesn't the master often say that grievances are grievances, and business is business?" ”

"You don't understand." Xu Fanyin said with a dark face: "They are promoting Zhao Shouzheng's strategy, what does it look like for us to mix in?" ”

"You're right to withdraw your money." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Because I will definitely mess up this matter for them!" ”
