When everyone came back to their senses, they all looked at the first place of the mansion, no need to ask, this is the black hand behind the scenes, the chief choreographer of this "Wang Po Scolding Chicken".

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he didn't shy away from dodging, and smiled at them calmly: "Do you have any objections to what Zhenchuan Gong said?" ”

Everyone exchanged glances, and finally Pan Gui, who was beside Shen Mo, was the representative, and said with a respectful smile: "My lord, Zhenchuan's public words are serious, and he really wronged us." Indulging in the price of food is a serious crime to kill the head, all of us have families and businesses, who doesn't have a few hundred people? This kind of illegal thing is absolutely not dared to do. ”

Wang Dezhang on the side also chimed in: "Yes, my lord, we will never do anything that violates the law." The rest of the crowd also cried out for injustice.

This is the biggest disadvantage of silence, everything has not happened in Suzhou City, and he has no evidence to prove these people, but the situation is urgent, if it really has to wait until it happens, there is evidence, I am afraid that the prosperous Suzhou City will become an uncontrollable mess!

So he had to convince these people, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he had to try, thinking of this, he smiled silently and said warmly: "Don't be too sensitive, Zhenchuan Gong didn't say it was you," said Zhengse: "But this does not mean that he is a fictitious speculation, this official dares to conclude that there must be such a force that wants to destroy the prosperity of our Suzhou!" ”

Looking at the suddenly rising curve, everyone couldn't shake their heads, and they did hear a little special wind, so they admired the reasoning power of Lord Fuzun.

"Whether it is the official or the gentlemen, we are all people who are attached to Suzhou City and enjoy wealth and nobility," only listened to the silent voice of Shen Shen: "Everyone should understand a very simple truth, the better Suzhou, the better we are, and vice versa, if Suzhou City really falls into turmoil, our wealth will be damaged, our status will be shaken, and what is even more sad is that it will be spurned by the people of the city, and we will no longer be as respected as before!" At that time, even if we pave a thousand roads and build 10,000 bridges, we will not be able to restore our reputation," he said earnestly, "We will continue to multiply here, even if we don't think about ourselves, we must think about future generations, right?" If they are all ashamed and unwilling to mention us, what is the use of accumulating more wealth in this life? ”

After listening to the words of Lord Fuzun, everyone was moved, and everyone was silent for a moment, and said one after another: "My lord, what you said is right, my hometown and my relatives are my roots, we will not watch Suzhou City in chaos, let alone make this mess behind our backs!" ”

"That's right!" Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, slapped his palms and smiled: "A sense of responsibility is the noblest virtue of the noble. Only those who have a sense of social responsibility are entitled to wealth and status. As he spoke, he stood up and said excitedly: "Now, let's work together to get through this difficult test!" ”

Everyone was a little excited by what he said, and shouted one after another, "Please command, my lord!" ”

"Good!" Silent and said in a deep voice: "With this enlightenment, Suzhou City will be saved, and we will all be saved!" Walk to the edge of the blackboard and write down a big 'coupon' and say: "Let's talk about this 'coupon' today!" ”

As soon as they heard this word, the slightly chaotic flower hall was silent, and they almost exchanged all the funds for coupons, but they could not afford the deterioration of the policy, so they did not dare to be distracted, lest they miss a sentence.

A silent gaze swept over everyone, and said lightly: "Although everyone is playing this coupon like a demon, do you really know what is going on?" ”

Everyone was a little unconvinced, whispering for a while, Wang Dezhang said: "The meaning of this 'coupon' is to use money to buy the right to buy something, and then cash it out or not, when to cash it, the buyer has the final say, no matter how the price changes in the future, the merchant must exchange it unconditionally." He said with a slight smugness: "My lord, am I right?" ”

"What else?" asked with a silent smile.

"And?" Wang Dezhang scratched his head and said: "Because the price fluctuates greatly in the harvest year and the famine year, some shrewd people buy the coupon in the good year, save it at home, and sell it to others when the price rises in the famine year." There are also people who are anxious, can't wait for the rabbit to wait like this, they bet on the harvest of the coming year, specializing in buying and selling short, if you guess that the next year is a good year, the price of the coupon will fall now; If the coming year is a famine year, the price of the current coupon will rise, and whoever predicts it correctly will make money...... What is earned is to predict that the opposite side loses money. ”

Listening to these people talking, Shen Mo was really impressed. He originally thought that their understanding of tickets should be very naïve, but in fact, on the contrary, these shrewd businessmen have mastered this leveraged tool, separated from the scope of spot trading, and have the prototype of the futures market.

In the silent impression, it seems that in the same era, the first futures market in the world was established in the United Kingdom. It turns out that in the Ming Dynasty, there is the same possibility, but the original luck was not so good...... "the good insight of the masters." Shen Mo applauded softly, but the expression on his face became cold: "But I want to say, you look at the problem too one-sidedly!" "Although they have the idea of leading the world, they will undoubtedly fail! Because the foundation of the futures market is that every transaction corresponds to the real goods, although the same is a forward to cash, but it can be determined that there are as many documents as there are physical objects! So while there are risks, they will not be shaken.

But what is being staged in Suzhou City now is based on tickets that merchants simply cannot afford to cash. If the wind is calm, everyone is happy to buy and sell short, but once the price fluctuates violently and causes a run, the things that were originally bought and sold and sold like treasures will become waste paper without any value, and the booming market will collapse.

"Therefore, no matter how good your current performance is, you are all castles in the air and clay-footed giants, which may collapse at any time, and there will be no recovery!" Whipping his analysis into the inside, he silently concluded.

His strong self-confidence, careful analysis, and reasonable predictions all made everyone here unable to believe it!

Sweat appeared on everyone's foreheads, and they began to drink water nervously, and the more they thought about it, the more scared they became! Those tickets that were originally fragrant and gluttonous have now become hot potatoes, and they all want to be disposed of quickly.

Shen Mo keenly captured the change in their minds, and said coldly and mercilessly: "Don't want to pass on this bad debt to the people." At that time, a powerful aura covered the whole hall, and he only listened to him say word by word: "If I find out who secretly sells coupons at a low price, as long as there is a sum!" The official will make this truth, which is still a secret, public! With a 'snap' sound, he slapped the blackboard heavily: "When the time comes, a lot of bills will be rotten in your hands, don't blame the official for being ruthless!" ”

Everyone was frightened, and the bad water that just came out of their hearts was also scared back, the huge amount of tickets in their hands could not be disposed of in a short time, and if they wanted to sell them to the people, it would be impossible not to leak the news, if it was really the day when the fish died and the net was broken, they had to lose all their pants, and they had to let people poke their backbones and scold them for a lifetime!

The proprietors of the grass growing in the temple just now were completely panicked, and they no longer had the organizational discipline they showed at the beginning, and they promised nonchalantly: "My lord, we will definitely not do that, and please raise your noble hand and help us keep this secret." ”

Shen Mo sighed lightly, walked back to his seat, stroked Pan Gui and Wang Dezhang's shoulders and said, "Actually, if you are good, this official will be good, if you are not good, this official will be even worse." Seeing that everyone nodded, he said in a deep voice: "So everyone, let's work together to overcome this difficulty, okay?" ”

"Good!" Everyone responded in unison.

Shen Mo finally breathed a long sigh of relief, took a sip of the teacup, cleared his throat and said: "Actually, the 'short and short selling' we are carrying out now ......" paused and said: "It's still called futures trading, it's very good and promising." What needs to be solved is the phenomenon of non-exchangeability caused by the abuse of credit, and the transaction itself should be protected. ”

"How do I fix that?" Pan Gui asked stupidly.

"And how do you protect it?" Wang Dezhang asked blankly.

"Actually, there are some crises," Shen Mo smiled faintly, hoping to convey his confidence to the people who were frightened by him as much as possible, and said: "As long as it is handled properly, not only will it not be harmful, but it will also promote norms and be conducive to long-term development." ”

As soon as everyone heard about it, they were very excited: "My lord, please speak?!" ”

"First of all, the government will take the lead, and the most honest and credible gentry will be elected, and we will jointly set up a ticket management committee to classify all the bills circulating in the market according to their quantity and the solvency and development prospects of the merchants, and determine the total debt that each merchant should bear."

Then a special bank was set up and each merchant was ordered to deposit half of the total debt as a deposit...... The money they get from eating grain is actually everyone's and the people's, and it is already a great preferential treatment for them to spend only half of it to solve the debt crisis. He said in a deep voice: "Then the newly established committee will be responsible for the centralized management of all deposited funds. The money will be used for centralized allocation to stabilize prices. If the deposit is not enough, it can use its valuable assets as collateral and use the common funds to advance on behalf of the deposit, but it must be paid in time afterwards, otherwise the assets will be confiscated. ”

"And if the merchants who join the new issuance of tickets, they must be approved by the committee and pay the full deposit." Shen Mo continued: "The committee is only responsible for the debts that the merchant has truthfully registered and deposited, and is not responsible for anything else. ”

"This shared commitment spreads the risk, and unless there is a full-blown crisis and more than half of the firms that issue tickets are in danger of going out of business at the same time, these tickets are safe, credible and valuable." He said in a deep voice: "In fact, with the concerted efforts of the government and you, this situation will not happen. In this way, the security of your assets will be greatly improved, and you will not need to spend extra money, what do you think? ”

Everyone turned their heads and ears, feeling that this method was quite feasible and the prospects were very bright, but it was impossible to agree to such a major matter at once, and they all said: "We all feel very good, but we have to go back to discuss with our family and give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

Shen Mo knew that it was impossible to achieve it all at once, nodded and said, "Don't forget, time waits for no one." "So he asked Wang Yongji to send three copies of the 'committee manual' he had drawn up, and asked them to go back and discuss it as soon as possible.

Knowing that the adults were sending off guests, everyone got up to say goodbye, but between their words and deeds, they still couldn't hide their loss...... The things that were determined to make a fortune turned out to be as illusory and fragile as a bubble, although there is a remedy for adults, but I don't know if it's useful, how can people not worry?

The king went out to see off the guests instead of Ji and Gui Youguang, and Shen Mo watched everyone leave, and when he could not see the figure, he sat on the threshold as if hollowed out. In fact, the most stressful one is him! And not the rich people who are still ignorant...... As the saying goes, everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, no one can help him share, and all the pressure can only be carried by one person, which is really tiring...... When he took off the black veil on his head, he found that his hair had been soaked with sweat, and he silently put his hat on the ground in front of him, and he was stunned until the king who sent off the guests came back with Ji and Gui Youguang, and saw the adults sitting there with a blank face.

The two hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to condole: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Mo didn't look at them, but looked into the distance in a daze, and asked in a low voice: "You say, if I can't pass this level, will my dream be over?" ”

The two looked at each other, and said in their hearts that it was really like this, of course they would not answer truthfully, but comforted softly: "Your Excellency's performance today is very exciting, you know it with affection, you move it with reason, all aspects have been taken into account, no one can not accept it, so you can definitely succeed." ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Mo shook his head without confidence: "No matter how realistic what I say now, it has not yet become a reality, and people often have to suffer in person before they regret not being at the beginning." As he spoke, he patted the left and right and said, "Sit down, stand there like a doorman." ”

The two of them laughed, sat on the left and right sides of Shen Mo, and also took off the black yarn, put it in front of him, and lined up neatly with Shen Mo's hat.

The three of them sat on the threshold, just filling a door frame, and the people below were very smart, seeing such an alternative scene, they all dispersed silently, and the entire second hall was quiet, and only three adults remained.

After pondering for a while, he returned to the light and said: "My lord, the second time I heard you talk about the idea of the 'committee', I realized more and more that your thoughts are far-reaching, not only beyond age, but also beyond the times, except for genius can not be described." ”

Wang Yongji agreed: "Indeed. ”

Shen Mo was amused by the two of them, and scolded: "Don't pat yourself on the back, I know best how much dry food I eat." ”

Gui Youguang smiled, and after the sycophant was finished, he naturally wanted to say something serious: "But just convincing these people, I'm afraid it's not safe," said and said in a low voice: "If you really want to solve the problem, you have to convince those noble officials behind them." ”

"Although everyone knows that the two are inseparable, those people who deceive themselves and hide themselves will not admit it if they are killed." Wang Yongji said depressedly: "In the final analysis, the scholarly family can use the money, and they can't ask about the copper smell, so it's useless to tell them." ”

"Doesn't this mean that you want to be a bitch and build a torii again?" Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said: "But I still have to say that tomorrow I will go to the Peng family's Wang family, and the day after tomorrow I will go to the Lu family's Pan family, and I will do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." "The Ming Dynasty's respect for and protection of private property...... Of course, it is the ...... of the gentry's family Even if it is unattainable in the era of silence, copying the house for no reason will be opposed by the whole and will eventually suffer from it! Therefore, even if the Vajra body protector and Shen Liushou, who is not afraid of water and fire, can only endure the surname and persuade one family to another, but cannot give a direct order simply and rudely.

As soon as he thought of facing those delusional old thieves, Shen Mo felt a burst of desolation, and sighed: "Hey, Weisi people, who am I going to return?" ”

"Xiaguan." Gui Youguang laughed.

"And the lower officials." Wang Yongji also smiled.

Shen Mo looked at Lao Gui on the left, saw his frankness, and then looked at Xiao Wang on the right, seeing his eyes full of firmness, he shook his head and smiled: "It's too dangerous, let's draw a line with me." ”

"My lord, you are very good, but this is not good." Gui Youguang shook his head and said.

"Which point?" Shen Mo asked.

"Obviously, I have already made a lot of promises in my heart," Wang Yongji also answered: "But I still have to excuse myself." ”

"Be bold, dare to slander Lord Ben!" Shen Mo laughed and scolded, and said: "I really don't want too many people to be involved, if it's really going to be over, let me finish it alone." As he spoke, he patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "You two rare good officials, it is a loss for the people of Suzhou to fold with it." ”

Wang Yongji also said: "My lord, this is a bad word, one Shen Cunyan can top fifty to return to the light, and one hundred Wang Yongji, if you want to fold, you should fold the two of us." ”

Gui Youguang nodded and said: "Yes, the two of us have just been outside together, this matter is up to us to do, and we will bear the responsibility afterwards, in case there is any trouble, you can't let you fold in this scene." ”

"Fart!" Shen Mo actually scolded: "It stinks! ”
