Shanghai Daotai Yamen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The spacious space in front of the yamen was blocked by a crowd of people in blue overalls and black student uniforms, and the entire yaqian street was crowded with black and oppressive people, "Yi Hou Ye is the first hero of this dynasty!" "Yida shopkeeper is the first good person in the world!" "Master Yi is the master of the blue sky!" "Severe punishment of Su Shun!" "Mu Zhang'a is a traitor!" The slogans shouted one after another.

Liu Guangdou, the magistrate of Shanghai, climbed the long ladder and looked out from the courtyard wall, and at a glance, he saw a black oppressive human head, and there were all kinds of banners on the street, which were all written on the content of the slogans they shouted.

Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but secretly complain, this situation is impossible to go out, and he doesn't know what the situation of his county government is now? He heard about the workers' march and hurried to the Taoist government to report, but he didn't see the Taoist Wu Changqing, but he was blocked in the Taoist office.

Coming down from the long ladder, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, a little at a loss, this situation is the first time he has encountered it, he has no experience in dealing with it, Daotai Lord Wu Changqing is Yuanqi's person, and the relationship with Yi Zhifen is even more well-known, the Taoist Yamen is still this situation, what will the other yamen be like?

Thinking of this, he was worried, he didn't dare to imagine, would this situation develop out of control? What are the consequences if it gets out of control?

Daotai Wu Changqing is not in the county seat, but in the western suburbs of the city outside the Xilin Zen Monastery outside the Xilin Camp, that is, the former Volunteer Battalion, the Yiyong formed to resist the Yingyi was not dismantled after the war, some of the four thousand volunteers entered the Yuanqi regimental training, part of the Jianghai Pass anti-smuggling patrol soldiers, part of the transfer to the local security regiment.

Upon hearing the news of the large-scale demonstration of the workers, Wu Changqing hurried to the camp, and the security regiment quickly dispatched to help maintain order, so as not to cause the situation to deteriorate further due to the loss of control.

The arrangements were in place, and all the security regiments to be dispatched were dispatched, and he sent a message to Guangzhou with people flying pigeons, and then wrote a letter to Wu Yundong in the Wusong camp, and the landing team was dispatched to help maintain order to ensure that there would be no big mess.

As soon as he saw him, Wu Changqing was angry, and asked, "What's the matter?" With such a big move, how come you didn't hear about it beforehand? Don't tell me it's your idea. ”

"How dare I come up with such a bad idea." Yan Shikuan hurriedly complained: "Xingqing Gang, the Faithful Society has always focused on the underworld, and rarely pays attention to those factory schools, those workers and students, most of them have received the favor of Yuanqi, who would have thought that they would come to such a show?" ”

What he said is also the truth, the two counties of Baoshan in Shanghai have always been the place where the most people are most concentrated in receiving the disaster, and in recent years, Shanghai has carried out large-scale development, and once the surrounding provinces and counties have been affected, the victims have come to Shanghai Baoshan with their families, and Yuanqi has also spared no effort to contribute money and grain relief and proper resettlement, and tens of thousands of displaced people who have come to the two counties have not only solved the problem of food and clothing, but also been transformed into workers in various factories, so as to settle down.

The schools in the two counties are not only free of charge but also provide food under the strong support of Yuanqi, both the victims and the local people of the two counties have benefited a lot, and they are also grateful to Yuanqi, who would have thought that they would take such a move to repay the favor?

Wu Changqing glanced at him, had no intention of dwelling on this issue, and said with a slight mutter: "There must be someone behind such a large-scale parade, there must be someone behind the planning and organization to liaison, hurry up and check it, I want to see those organizers." ”

Yan Shikuan hurriedly said: "I have also thought of this, and I have already sent someone to investigate, and there should be news in the afternoon." As he spoke, he asked, "When will the newly appointed Minister of Nanyang, Lord Qi, arrive in Shanghai?" ”

"Him?" Wu Changqing laughed and said: "If you don't sit on a boat, you have to go by land, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get to Shanghai in a month." ”

"That's good." Yan Shikuan took out a box of cigarettes and handed one over, lit one himself, and then said: "Don't worry too much, their parade is just to support the big shopkeeper, and they won't make any trouble." ”

"Don't make things too simple." Wu Changqing said in a deep voice: "There are so many workers, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no gang members inside, if they fan the flames and add fuel to the fire, it will be a big trouble." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shikuan's expression became a little more solemn, and he groaned slightly, and then he said: "All the shops on the street are closed, so there shouldn't be any chaos." As he spoke, he asked, "Have you already notified the Wusong battalion?" ”

"I have already sent a letter to Wu Yundong, and he has transferred the Marine Corps to Shanghai to maintain order." Wu Changqing said: "In addition, he also closed the railway station and blocked the shipping in Wusongkou. ”

"As soon as the Marines move, the students of the Naval Academy will inevitably withdraw from the parade to help them maintain order." Yan Shikuan said slowly:

"Well, there's no need to worry too much."

The big demonstrations in the two counties of Baoshan in Shanghai lasted only one day, and the crowd of marchers spontaneously dispersed that night, but the impact of this incident was really not small.

Mu Zhang'a went into battle shirtless, and said bluntly that Yuan Qi set up factories intensively in Guangzhou and Shanghai, gathering hundreds of thousands of young and strong, echoing each other, which was not the luck of the imperial court, and suggested closing many factories in the two places to prevent future troubles.

In the face of Mu Zhang'a's family's attack on Yuanqi, all the officials who tried to ensure that Yi Zhi'a were content collectively lost their voices, but it was really the strike and march in Baoshan County, Shanghai, to besiege the local yamen, which was too powerful, shocking, and made the imperial court jealous, and no one dared to openly refute it, and the situation was almost one-sided, and many people thought that this political battle was about to be won by Mu Zhang'a and his family, and Yi Zhizhi and Yuan Qi were in a catastrophe this time.

The newspapers of the southeastern provinces still had an impartial attitude, and they still reported the matter truthfully, and the articles attacking Yi Zhizhi and Yuan Qi were also published as usual, which caused another wave of heated discussions in the government and the opposition.

The original ups and downs of the Yuanqi stock price of the Guangzhou and Shanghai exchanges suddenly plummeted, and the unresisted successive declines triggered panic selling again, and the stock price fell all the way down directly below the lowest price of four cents and eight cents in previous years, and still went all the way down.

Xiguan Exchange, backyard.

Jin Yuanqing said nervously: "Four dollars and seven cents!" The big shopkeeper! More than 8 million sell orders! ”

Yi Zhizhi nodded, but he didn't say anything, originally he planned to protect the disk and prevent the stock price from falling below the price of five yuan, but this wave of decline was too fierce, the number of sell-offs was huge, and the price fell so fast that he felt caught off guard.

Seeing that he was silent, Jin Yuanqing licked his lips that were a little dry, and said hesitantly: "The big shopkeeper ......" ”

"What do you want to say?" Yi Zhixiang glanced at him and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”

"If it's Yuan Qi......" Jin Yuanqing looked like he didn't dare to say it, and hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't do something...... It's better to save some cash for a comeback. ”

"Yuan Qiruo has crossed, do you think there is still a chance to make a comeback?" Yi Zhishu said and took out a cigarette and lit it, slowly puffing out a puff of smoke, and he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, Yuan Qi can't cross, let the second shopkeeper Meng Degui go to the head office, and tell the shopkeeper Kong, try to hold on, but if you can't hold it, you will use gold." ”

"Gold?" Jin Yuanqing's heart tightened, and it reached the point of using gold, which meant that it had reached the point of exhaustion.

Yi Zhisuff didn't say much, nodded, and said, "Tell Shopkeeper Kong that even if the gold is exchanged, you must keep Yuanqi's credit." ”

Not long after, Jin Yuanqing quickly turned back and reported: "Five cents, four dollars and five cents." ”

"How many? Million! ”

"Menacing." Yi Zhishu muttered and said, "Don't worry. ”

The stock price fell all the way, three percent, two percent, one percent, and when I heard that the price had fallen to four yuan, Yi Zhizhi, who was silent for a long time, said: "How many sell orders have been accumulated below five yuan?" ”

Jin Yuanqing glanced down at the small book in his hand, quickly calculated, and said, "More than 21 million." ”

"Can't wait any longer." Yi Zhizhi said in a deep voice: "Eat!" Eat all the less than five dollars, and hang up 20 million at the price of five dollars. ”

Seeing that an astonishing number of sell orders below five coins were swept away in an instant, and then a super-large buy order of 20 million appeared at the price of five coins, the entire trading hall resounded with cheers: "Take over!" Someone has taken over! ”

To sell or not to sell? Many people were hesitating in their hearts, and the hall was full of discussions, "Such a big deal!" Who's taking over? ”

"Who else? Of course it's Yuanqi, except for Yuanqi, who has so much courage and financial resources? ”

"What are you kidding? How can it be Yuanqi? Yuan Qi is now anxious to deal with the run on banknotes. ”

"You think this is a stock bought with cash?"

"How do you pull banknotes? Yuanqi is not not exchanged? ”

"It's hard to say, what if Yuanqi goes out of business?"

"If Yuan Qi is really taking over, then there is no need to sell."

"It's hard to say about this situation now, but it's better to rest assured with real money in your hands."

One after another, people were selling, and the 20 million buy orders at the price of five cents became 12 million in less than half an hour, and just when everyone was a little worried, the 400,000 sell orders of 5 cents and 1 cent were eaten, and then, the 250,000 sell orders of 5 cents and 2 cents were also eaten.

At this moment, there was a panic in the hall, and many people rushed to the counter to cancel the order, which was obviously a strong rebound.

In the case of chaos, the stock price stood steadily on six dollars! Everyone who only watched this scene looked at each other, and it was only more than half an hour before and after, and it was actually the difference between two coins! What's going on with this Nima? From four dollars to six dollars, this is a fifty percent increase! I don't know how many people secretly regret it in their hearts, be bold, eat a vote when they are four dollars, and they can make a lot of money this time.

In the backyard, Jin Yuanqing said excitedly: "The big shopkeeper, stabilized, today's selling orders are more than six yuan." ”

Yi Zhishu stood up and said, "It's just a temporary stabilization, five yuan, how much to eat, more than five yuan, don't care, I'll see tomorrow." ”

Exited the exchange from the back door, got into the sedan chair, and Yi Zhizu commanded, "Go back to Lei Garden." He closed his eyes and recuperated, he was not worried about the exchange, he was worried about the run on Yuanqi, the southeast provinces, Guangdong issued the largest number of banknotes, the trade in the provinces and cities, the transaction amount was slightly larger and the paper money was used, as the foundation of Yuanqi in Guangzhou, the market is circulating all banknotes, and the pressure of this run is also the largest.

Once Guangzhou's cash silver and gold are run out, it is very likely to trigger a chain reaction, and even cause the collapse of Yuanqi Bank, he wants to let Yuanqi stock not fall below five dollars to maintain the confidence of shareholders of all sizes in Yuanqi, but also worried that the stock will eat too much to cause a large-scale run, which is also the reason why Kong Jian'an did not hesitate to use gold to pay for the exchange of paper money when eating a large number of stocks.

Back in Lei Garden, Yi Zhishu went directly to Bao Shichen's Tingyuxuan, and as soon as they met, Bao Shichen said with concern: "Can you hold on?" ”

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it." Yi Zhishu turned his head as he spoke, "Is there any news?" ”

"Yes." Bao Shichen said and sighed lightly, "However, the good and the bad are half mixed." ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhi's heart sank, but he didn't ask again, and after entering the house, Bao Shichen said slowly: "Suzhou, Changzhou, Huzhou, seven prefectures and eight counties have successively demonstrated solidarity, and the scale is not small, however, the parades in Yixing and Huzhou have hit the county yafu, and they were dispersed by soldiers, and the casualties are unknown. ”

After a slight sigh, Yi Zhizhi said: "Three provinces and seven counties, only one county and one government have an accident, which is already good, I hope they can learn the lessons of Yixing Huzhou, and I will pass on the book to advise." After a pause, he asked, "What about the imperial court?" ”

"No news." Bao Shichen poured him a cup of tea, and then said: "It seems that Jinshang still has the intention of protecting Yuanqi, otherwise as soon as the incident in Shanghai comes out, he should push the boat down the river and convict the big treasurer." ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, Daoguang is indeed quite protective of Yuanqi, but think about it, this is also reasonable, he is promoted by Daoguang, and Yuanqi is also growing step by step with Daoguang's support or connivance, it can be said that the most proud thing in Daoguang's life is to promote and reuse him, so he has the merit of conquering Annan and conquering the Japanese country to conquer Nanyang, and asking Daoguang to convict him and deny Yuanqi is equivalent to letting Daoguang himself deny the most proud achievement in his life.

Bao Shichen seemed to see through his thoughts, and said slowly: "However, since ancient times, it has been the most ruthless emperor's family, and Nian Qianyao of the Yongzheng Dynasty is a lesson from the past. ”

"Sir reminds me." Yi Zhicontent said with a smile: "We can't be Nian generals." ”
