After starting from Lingzhou, continue to the south, cross the Qingtong Gorge and pass through Weizhou. Zhao Ran asked Mingjue on the road: "What is the purpose of the master's purchase of my Junshan shares? Could it be that he really plans to play with it? First of all, the past few years have been the time for my Junshan to develop greatly, and he will definitely not pay dividends." ”

Mingjue said: "Don't hide it, the poor monk is a little unaccustomed to Jueyuan's mercenary face, and secondly, he also plans to take these stocks to Jinbo Auction House to try to see if he can sell silver." ”

Zhao Ran couldn't help laughing and asked: "Does the master think that it can be auctioned at a high price? Will anyone buy it?" You must know that Junshan shares are different from Tianma Pharmaceutical, Tianma Pharmaceutical is in Xingqing, you can see and touch it, and the elixir produced can really cure diseases, and it can also pay dividends. I, Junshan Pharmaceutical, at least for the time being, it is impossible to cash in the silver dividend, let alone in Daming. ”

Mingjue said: "I remember that two years ago, the poor monk had a few conversations with the shopkeeper Liang of Jinbo Auction House, and he knew a little bit about stocks. The poor monk thinks that the stock thing, because some poor monks can not see the truth clearly, to a large extent, how much silver can be sold, does not depend on how many dividends are distributed each year, do not look at how many workshops, and do not care where the workshop is built. ”

Zhao Ran said: "But Junshan shares, no one knows, right? Where does the master's heart come from?"

Mingjue looked at Zhao Ran and said with a smile: "It is true that no one knows about Junshan shares, but Zhao Zhiran, the messenger of the Daomen, is known to the world, not to mention the name of the mountain guest." After I went back, I pondered this matter carefully, and then discussed it with Shopkeeper Liang to see what to do. ”

Zhao Ran is also looking forward to this, if Mingjue can speculate the shares of Junshan shares, the biggest beneficiary should actually be himself, and when the time comes, he will casually split shares, give away shares or something, and it will be a lot of silver out of thin air.

Mingjue said again: "In fact, the shopkeeper Liang once said that in addition to Tianma Pharmaceutical, Jinbo Auction House originally wanted to sell the shares of Jinbo Club, but the Cheng owner may have been lacking interest in doing anything in the past two years because of his own problems, and said that he didn't want to cause trouble...... This is also understandable...... However, since Junshan shares are owned by the Taoist, presumably the owner should be willing to consider it. ”

So Zhao Ran encouraged: "The master is good at living, if it is done, the poor Dao agrees, and takes out a part of the dividends that have been retained before to implement high transfers." ”

"What is a high transfer?" Mingjue was puzzled.

"It is ten shares to fifteen shares or twenty shares, and then five shares and so on, the specific amount depends on the stock price. At the moment, Zhao Ran gave a detailed explanation of Gao Zhuan.

Mingjue couldn't fully understand it for a while, but as soon as the concept of "high transfer" came out, it sounded unclear, so he said happily: "If that's the case, it's even better!"

At the end of September, the entourage arrived at Lintao, which was the transit hub of the Western Xia to the southern line of the Ming Dynasty, stationed in many large grain platforms and baggage transfer yards, and was the general rear of the Baimaqiang Town Supervision Division, Xiangyou Supervision Division, and Montenegro Weifu Supervision Division.

When he arrived in Lintao, Zhao Ran keenly found that compared to when he came, Lintao seemed to be getting busier and busier, and many Xia soldiers were guarding the baggage of the cart in groups to the north, and they met at least ten times along the way.

Even Zhang Juzheng felt uneasy, and stepped forward to ask: "Dao Chief, what do you think is the reason for this? Could it be that the Xia army is going to launch an offensive against my Daming?"

Zhao Ran comforted him a few words, called Ming Jue over, and asked with a calm face: "Master, your army is so frequently mobilized, is there something big going on? Could it be that I Da Ming is going to do it?"

Mingjue immediately denied it, but Zhao Ran definitely couldn't be fooled by his fluttering sentence "not aimed at Da Ming", and the two sides immediately had a dispute over this.

This dispute ended in Zhao Ran's words of "If it leads to my misjudgment, you will bear all the consequences". Mingjue sent a flying talisman to the Heavenly Dragon Academy, and half an hour later, he was authorized to give Zhao Ran a limited notice.

"This is the transfer of our Xia army to the northwest, and it is not aimed at the Ming Dynasty, please don't worry. ”

"Northwest, what's going on in the Northwest?"

"It's inconvenient to inform the Taoist chief, but the poor monk assures that our Xia army has no plans to launch a large-scale offensive against Daming in the near future. ”

"In the near future, can the master give an explanation to the poor Dao, is it a month, three months, or half a year?"

"This ......"

"This question is very important, if the near future you are talking about is only a month or three months, then I will enter the active offensive and defensive stage. ”

"A proactive offensive defensive phase?"

"The master can be taken literally, and it should not be cognitively biased. ”

Mingjue was helpless, and there was another exchange of flying talismans with Tianlong Academy, and when it came to the evening, he came to inform Zhao Ran: "For more than half a year, my Xia army has no plans to attack Daming on a large scale. ”

"Where is the northwest direction?" Zhao Ran held on to this question.

Maybe it was authorized by the Tianlong Academy, or maybe Mingjue thought that if he really concealed it, it would lead to Zhao Ran's misjudgment, which would then trigger Daming's "active offensive defense", so he still pointed out the place.

"Some of the Uighur tribesmen disturbed the area, so we allocated food and baggage to help the local Xia army clear it. A small riot is not worth mentioning, and the Taoist chief is too cautious and sensitive. ”

Zhao Ran immediately sent this message to Dongfang Li, and Dongfang Li replied: "Meritorious service for junior brother!"

At the beginning of October, the group went southwest to bypass the Zoige Snow Mountain and swamp, passed through the Animaqing Pass, and was only the last tens of miles away from the Baihe Moon Bay Ferry.

In late autumn, there is already an early winter weather on this plateau, with snow on the continuous mountain peaks and a drizzle of snow and ice flowers floating in the sky.

Although the weather was cold, these Ming people who came back from redemption felt very warm, and it was the expectation of returning home step by step after ten years of leaving their hometown. Zhang Juzheng asked people to open the cart and take out a felt jacket for everyone to wear, and everyone's steps were more brisk.

Suddenly, at the corner of the mountain in front of me, a lama wearing a broken hat and a golden red cloak came out, blocking the middle of the road.

Zhang Juzheng whispered to Zhao Ran: "Dao Chief, isn't this Deji Zhugu?"

Zhao Ran nodded: "It's him." ”

This is the great lama who is always accompanied by the living Buddha of Tubo Sangcuo, and the one who called himself "Deji Zhugu" to Zhang Juzheng that day.
