Chapter two hundred and forty first into the brain
The Ministry of Revenue and the Secretary of the Household Department are in progressing the 18th round of negotiations on the future shipping yamen.
Officials of the Ministry of Revenue, who usually claim to be technical bureaucrats, have seen what real technology is.
The negotiation team sent by Royal Shipping is familiar with every imperial decree and every detail, which is so rigorous that it is madly rigorous.
The hard negotiations have been discussed since the beginning of the year until the middle of the year, and it is still a long way from reaching an agreement.
This made Gaoge's elder particularly annoyed and had already scolded Zhang Shouzhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, twice.
Zhang Shouzhi is hard to say. Who can make the Royal Shipping back-end tough? Even the Secretary of State can't afford to offend him?
The ninth generation grandson of the right prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Budou, had to go on the battle personally to negotiate with the royal shipping.
In order to be equal, Zhao Hao had to reluctantly come to the Ministry of Revenue in the scorching heat to chat with Zhang Butang.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, they sat down at both ends of the negotiating table. Officials from the Ministry of Revenue brought the thick draft to Zhang Shouzhi.
"Mr. Zhao, we must complete all the sixty items of Article 10 today, and strive to sign the contract this month." Zhang Butang first set a tone for today's negotiations and said: "Yuan Weng will be in a ten-day deadline, and we can't delay it."
Zhao Hao gently shook the folding fan and said unmoved: "There are still fifty items, nine hundred and eighty ones, and I can't finish it even if I haven't sleep for ten days. Master, let's go with Yuan Weng again."
Zhu Shimao beside him also tilted his head and said, "That's right, sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood. I'm anxious to find out now, and there will be big problems in the future."
"I think you are just deliberately delaying the time!" Seeing that the tribes were talking about this, these guys were still stubborn. Yang Wei, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was responsible for the specific negotiations, angrily slapped the table: "I advise you to stop dreaming! This time the negotiation is inappropriate, no one will go back, when will they sign and when will they release them!"
"Yeah, is this going to be the boss?!" Zhu Shimao sneered and tilted his head to the other side.
"This is the only way to deal with you crazy men who are unscrupulous!" Yang Wei was a governor in Xuanfu, Shaanxi and led soldiers, and was the most suitable for sing a black face. He said murderously: "If you don't sign and seal the documents, don't even think of taking you out, I said!"
"Okay, what if I go out? Are you a turtle?!" Zhu Shimao was also angry.
"What if you can't get out? Is it a crooked turtle?" Yang Wei sneered.
"You!" Zhu Shimao rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Yang Wei. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the employees of the Royal Shipping quickly separated.
The scene was very chaotic at one time, only Zhang Butang and Mr. Zhao were calm, one of whom drank tea and the other fanned.
But Zhang Shouzhi was not at ease. He knew that Zhao Hao was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would be so difficult to deal with. He could withstand the pressure from himself and Gao Jiao to delay the negotiations for several months.
Alas, it’s more than a few months? It’s been a whole year and a half since the end of the previous year. There is no shadow of the shipping yamen yet!
Such a thing is unique under the resolute and decisive Gaoge. The pressure of him as the Minister of Revenue can be imagined, otherwise he would not have had the idea of physical persuasion.
In fact, Zhao Hao is under great pressure. Because the Dashilan Stock Exchange, which has been established for two years, has just experienced the thrilling "April Stock Market Crash". And the next round of avalanche will occur at any time...
~~
At the end of March and early April, the news that the court was about to establish a shipping yamen and shared the maritime trade share with the Royal Shipping finally spread throughout the capital, arousing pessimism about the group's prospects and began to sell the stocks in their hands.
In just a few days, the stock price of Xishan Group fell from 35 taels per share to 18 taels, and was shattered.
Even Lugou Bridge Company was affected, and its stock price fell from twenty-five taels to fifteen taels...
The plunge of the two large-cap stocks has triggered collective panic among investors, causing thirty-six small and medium-sized stocks on the Dashilan Stock Exchange to be trampled on. Some were cut in half, and some were cut to their ankles, making a river of blood flowing, which was a terrible sight.
History, especially economic history, will always remember this day. In April of the sixth year of Longqing, the first stock market crash in the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world occurred.
Fortunately, when the stock market crash occurred, Zhao Hao happened to be in Beijing. He made a quick decision to mobilize the group to deposit and protect the market. He also took out two million taels and issued a big pay order of twenty taels per share. Before and after, the group and shareholders spent tens of millions of taels, which barely stabilized the stock price and did not trigger further avalanche.
At present, the stock price of Xishan Group is floating around twenty taels, and the stock price of Lugouqiao Company has recovered to seventeen taels. All small and medium-sized stocks implicated by innocent people have also gained a chance to breathe and have not fallen into their underwear.
This stock market crash was a risk education for investors, which made them finally understand that on the big bronze medal at the entrance of the exchange, the ten words "The stock market is risky, you need to be cautious when entering the market" are not just a joke.
It turns out that stocks are really not just rising but not falling...
The biggest impact of this "April Stock Market Crash" is that investors who have become frightened have lost their blind trust in stocks. If Zhao Hao had not rescued the market in time, it would have been a South China Sea bubble of 150 years later, which would have been staged in advance in the Ming Dynasty.
The South China Sea bubble caused a huge setback to the British stock market. In the following 100 years, people avoided stock trading, and even the development of joint-stock companies was hindered to a certain extent.
This is something Zhao Hao must avoid anyway...
~~
In the Shangshu Yaya, a full martial arts movement was being performed. Suddenly, an eunuch rushed in with a sweat on his head, saying that the two geniuses, Xuan of the two palaces, met quickly, and Eunuch Feng asked Mr. Zhao to go together as soon as possible.
Zhao Hao stood up and bowed to Zhang Shouzhi and said, "Sorry, I'm a junior, I'll take a step first."
"Go quickly, it's important to go in the palace." Zhang Shouzhi hurriedly sent him to the yard. When Zhao Hao's figure disappeared behind the Yimen Gate, he sighed and said to everyone behind him: "Thank you all for the hard work these days. Let's all be separated. Let's go back and have a rest for a few days..."
"Abide by the order." Zhu Shimao and the Royal Shipping negotiating team naturally couldn't ask for it, so they packed up their things and fled them immediately.
But Yang Wei couldn't accept it. Wouldn't he be a villain in vain?
When the outsiders were exposed, he couldn't help but say to Zhang Shouzhi: "Midou, I gave up halfway this time, and it won't work if I scare them next time!"
"Next time?" Zhang Shou looked at him with a wry smile on his face, "Ershan, you may not be very sensitive when you just entered Beijing. Didn't you hear that? Something big happened in the palace!"
"I didn't hear it." Yang Wei is a singular party, with few intestines. He has just entered the department for a while, and he has not yet touched the way.
"Just just now, the eunuch who was sent to the eunuch of the divine doctor in the two palaces was talking about the quick meeting. How much information did this sentence reveal?" Zhang Shouzhi said in a low voice: "According to the rules, no imperial edicts will be allowed to enter the forbidden palace. Now the two palaces are directly issued to pass the imperial eunuch to the divine doctors among the people without the emperor. What do you mean?"
"Besides, I only have one queen in the Ming Dynasty. When can I openly say it is the 'two palaces'?" He paused, and he said quietly: "Some people can't wait to be respected with the two palaces and invite them to be favored..."
"..." Yang Wei felt a chill on his back after hearing this, and then he asked a little while, "Budang, are these people from Yuan Weng or Zhang Xianggong?"
"Who are they looking for?" Zhang Shouzhi looked at the idiot.
"Mr. Zhao, he is Mr. Zhang's son-in-law..." Yang Wei's face turned pale, and then he understood why the tribe said that the talk could not be reached.
Thinking of his way to beat and kill Mr. Zhao just now, Yang Wei felt cold sweat and wished that the wheel would not count, so he pinched the remake...
"Midian, the emperor is really? Yuan Weng is really?" He looked at Zhang Shouzhi.
"The emperor is in danger, as for Yuan Weng, alas..." Zhang Shouzhi sighed. He was also a Jinshi in the 22nd year of Jiajing, and a strong high party in the eyes of outsiders. Thinking that he had been struggling for half his life, but because he was implicated by others, he was completely lost and felt that he was better than to escape into a monk.
"It's boring, it's really boring..."

When Zhao Hao arrived at the largest garden in Qinghe County, Wanmizhai and Li Shizhen had already entered Jujing Pavilion for a while.
Outside the pavilion, under the shed, were anxious Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, as well as Gao Yi and Duke Cheng, but both of them were in poor health and were sitting on the turtle.
Zhao Hao also saw the figure of the chicken, and knew that his godmother had also arrived after hearing the news.
It seems that everyone knows that the emperor's situation is in a big way...
He stepped forward to salute a group of ministers and ministers. Gao Gong nodded with empty eyes. Zhang Juzheng gave him meaningful eyes. Gao Yi barely showed a heavy smile. Only Duke Cheng enthusiastically praised him.
After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, Feng Bao came out of Jujing Pavilion and walked to Zhao Hao and whispered: "Two empresses, please ask Mr. Zhao to come in."
He also said to Duke Cheng and the three great masters: "The two empresses will also invite four of you to come in and make an idea together."
"Abide by the order." The five people quickly tidied up their clothes, lowered their heads and walked into the hall, and saluted to the two palaces behind the pearl curtain.
A sob female called them up and said in a crying voice: "Two miracle doctors, tell me."
"Yes, Empress." Wan Mizhai and Li Shizhen quickly responded respectfully, then turned to Zhao Hao and said, "There are no other methods, only a trick."
"Use it, don't forget to do the skin test." Zhao Hao nodded, as if he had completed the authorization.
"Yes." Li Shizhen nodded slightly, turned around and went inside, preparing for a skin test.
"Doctor Wan," Wan Mizhai wanted to follow him, but Gao Gong called him and asked in an old voice: "How about the Holy Bow?"
"It's very bad." Wan Mizhai said in a deep voice: "Simply put, the previous treatment only eliminated the poison on the body surface, but did not remove the poison in the body. Now the poison has entered the brain, which has caused the emperor to fall into a coma."
As he spoke, the sob behind the bead curtain became more and more obvious.
"..." Gao Gong's body shook obviously, and Zhang Juzheng quickly supported him. Then Gao Ge Lao Ba looked at Wan Mizhai and asked, "Can you save the emperor with your method?"
"First of all, you need to do a skin test and apply the medicine to inject it." Wan Mizhai said slowly: "Secondly, this poison is irreversible to the damage to the human brain. Therefore, even if the patient can be rescued, it will not be able to recover as before, leaving serious sequelae."
"What about?" Gao Gong asked with difficulty.
"Dementia, paralysis, blindness, deafness..." Every time Wan Mizhai said a word, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Gaoge's heart hard, making him vomit blood.
