There are only more than 10 houses in front of and behind the Yingtianfu Stock Exchange, but there is an open space of more than 20 zhang square outside the main gate. More than 400 Dragon Guard soldiers armed with firearms stood on both sides of the horse.

Soon, the first carriage parked at the side door of the trading shop was pulled open, and several able-bodied men lifted a wooden box from the car. It can be seen from the green tendons on their foreheads that the weight of this box is at least three or four hundred catties.

Then the steward of the trading shop took a few bookkeepers to open the silver box outside the side door, and took out the silver ingots as if no one was there and counted them. Bring it into the storeroom! ”

The second box of silver was then carried out of the car.

The eyes of the people who were watching the excitement around were straight, and they stretched their necks to move forward - the whole box of silver stacks full of white flowers was more than three thousand taels! It's just one box, and looking at the long queue behind it, I don't know how many more such boxes there are.

And the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army who were in charge of the vigilance got Zhu Linmiao's orders, and let the crowd of onlookers crowd in front of them to inquire without much interference. It wasn't until someone approached the silver box that they politely asked everyone to step back so as not to interfere with the counting.

After counting for more than three hours, there were still four silver carts waiting outside the trading shop.

During the whole process, almost none of the onlookers had any intention of leaving.

"Hey! I've never seen so much silver when I've grown so big! ”

"No, these princes do have money. Eh, you said that even they invested money to buy this 'stock', I guess they can really make money, right? ”

"It shouldn't be bad, you see that this has been carried in for four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, and it must be a big deal."

"Yes, yes! Why don't we buy some with the money? ”

But there were also cautious people on the side who shook their heads and said: "These vassal kings have invested money, naturally no one dares to pit them, but we are a small people...... That's hard to say. ”

"You've got a point......

"Well, let's take another look."

The news of the large sums of money being shipped from the stock exchange in the north of the city soon spread, and the people of Nanjing rushed to watch, and even the three streets outside were crowded with people.

After all the silver cars were counted, Zuo Hongrui, the manager of the trading house, stood on the high platform outside the main gate, looked at the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone be quiet, be quiet."

"I'm going to talk about arranging for shareholders these days, oh, that is, all of you who have bought shares, to visit the property in which you have a stake."

Immediately there was a discussion below, "Visit? ”

"Can you see for yourself?"

"It's reassuring to see for yourself."

Zuo Hongrui continued: "Anyone who invests more than one penny will be transported out of the city by the exchange. If you invest more than two dollars, you can also take care of a meal. From now on, such visits will be held once every six months. ”

The crowd became more lively, "Yes, this is still the meal." ”

"Well, that's interesting."

"Very thoughtful ......"

Zuo Hongrui waved his hand to signal quietness, and continued: "When you visit your own industry, you can also check the accounts at any time, and you can see at a glance where the money you invest is used." For shareholders who have invested more than 100 taels of shares, they can audit their accounts at any time every month. ”

He also pointed to a small house next to the trading shop, "That's the 'whistleblower gate' set up by the Criminal Department and the Department of Household Management and Commerce. Anyone who thinks that he has suffered a loss in the process of buying and selling stocks, or that the property that invests in stocks is inappropriate, can go there to file a complaint, and the court will make the decision for you. ”

Almost every time he said a word, the people below were in a commotion, and the more he listened, the more he felt that this trading workshop was reliable, and he constantly had the courage to go to the trading window to get money to buy some shares.

Zuo Hongrui struck while the iron was hot, and introduced a lot of specific trading rules in detail, such as dividends once a month, how to withdraw cash from dividends, how major shareholders participate in shareholders' meetings, and withdraw shares in the exchange to get back the shares after one month of investment.

Of course, many of these measures were set up by Zhu Linwei in order to eliminate everyone's distrust.

In the future, when the stock trading is on the right track, it must be changed to annual dividends, otherwise the cash will be distributed frequently, and the manpower of the trading workshop will not be enough. There is also the matter of withdrawing shares, and in the future, it will also refer to the stock transactions of later generations, which can only be bought and sold between shareholders, and will not be repurchased by the exchange.

In a room on the second floor of the trading workshop, Shi Lin looked at the few people who entered and exited the main hall of the trading workshop from the window, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "My lord, there are thousands of people around here, and the left steward has been talking for a long time, but it seems that there are still not many people who dare to invest money." ”

"Don't worry," Zhu Linmiao said with a smile as she stood in front of the window, "I have another killer feature behind me." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several burly men enter the trading hall talking and laughing, "Oh, here it is." ”

The men came to the trading window, and without saying a word, they took out the money and bought the stocks, and went away happily. Subsequently, people continued to come to buy shares, and the popularity of the trading floor gradually warmed up.

Soon, someone in the crowd recognized the person who came to buy stocks, "Eh, isn't that Zhao Dianshi?" He also came to buy shares? ”

"That's Song Zhaoma, I've seen him. Look at the pile of bills in his hand, he should have invested a lot of silver......"

"You see, the experience of King Ying Tianfu has also come......"

"With so many adults coming, it seems that this stock will definitely be bought!"

"That is, these officials are all human spirits, if there is something wrong, how dare they invest money so confidently?"

"Brothers, you guys talk first, I'll go inside and have a look."

"Wait for me, I'll go with ......"

After a while, driven by many officials, the stock exchange became more and more lively. Although most of the people only bought one or two cents of silver or even a few tens of cents of stocks, a good start has been formed, and in the future, as the people who invested in the money make money, it will naturally attract more people to invest.

Shi Lin couldn't help but wonder: "My lord, what method did you use, the situation changed greatly in a moment!" ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled but did not answer, in fact, he simply took advantage of people's herd mentality, and the Chinese are especially serious in this regard.

He had previously given a reward to the meritorious Dragon Guards, the soldiers of the Broken Battalion, and the officials who contributed to the relocation of the capital, but stipulated that they must use the money to buy stocks, and they must return with bills and vouchers to report.

These soldiers and officials all knew that the stock could be redeemed after a month, and they only had to go to the stock exchange twice, but they didn't realize it. But the appearance of these people in the trading hall played a good role as a good example, and the popularity of stock trading immediately increased significantly.

At dinner time, the trading shop closed and closed, Zuo Hongrui took the account book and trotted to the house where Su Chengyu was on the second floor. I want to talk about "The Rise of the Ming Dynasty 1646" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
