Chapter 304 Public opinion reversed, and people praised Zhang Gui and others!

Dong Tingxian did not expect that these reformist ministers would spend millions of taels to repurchase stocks.

"Are people like Uncle Zhang Guo really so selfless? Millions of taels of silver, just take it out! People who don't care for themselves will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Why doesn't heaven punish these people!"

Dong Tingxian gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.

When official newspapers such as the "Da Ming Daily" reported that the Trading Department would continue to trade Maoshan Iron Mine stocks, and when Zhang Gui and other reform ministers took the initiative to display banners that they would spend money to buy back stocks, Dong Tingxian knew that what they were doing was

All efforts made and all the remarks made to slander Zhang Gui and other reformist ministers and the New Deal will become insignificant!

So, how could this not make Dong Tingxian angry!

"It turns out it's true, the Trading Department of the Ministry of Accounts is open!"

"It's true that Uncle Zhang Guo and Uncle Da Zong bought back their stocks! I just sold the stocks in my hands at the Account Transaction Department, and when I changed hands, I saw with my own eyes that Uncle Guo's people bought them with money."

When Dong Tingxian passed by the separate Yamen of the Household and Transaction Department outside Daming Gate, he could already hear people coming out excitedly with money.

"Although the stock price has indeed fallen, the court is still willing to let us sell the stock. This shows that the court is not trying to swallow our money. The rumors spread by those people before are false!"

"Now that I think about it, some people are really disgusting! They actually slandered the imperial court, slandered good officials like Uncle Guo and Uncle Da Zong, saying that they wanted to swallow our money and implemented the New Deal and issued stocks to make money. Now I see

, what is happening is that people are willing to give up their stocks when the stock price rises sharply, and are willing to buy them back when the stock price falls sharply. This shows that they are really dedicated to serving the country, rather than competing for profits with the people."

"That's right! Now that I think about it, the ministers like Uncle Guo and Uncle Da Zong who presided over the New Deal in the Policy Department are more responsible. They are more responsible than those hypocrites who pretend to be poor and say they only eat cakes every morning, but actually eat venison every meal.

Much stronger."

"That is, apart from pretending to be honest, what use do those hypocrites do to the country and the people? When it comes time to save the people from fire and water, they can do nothing! They can only fight for the benefit of the people, one by one, and act first.

And under the guise of fighting for the interests of the people, they force the court to make concessions in their favor! How disgusting!"

"I suddenly don't want to sell my stocks at a low price!"

"Because based on my humble opinion, if Uncle Guo and the others are really doing this for their own benefit, it means that they know very well that the Mushan Iron Mine is indeed worth investing money and sharing profits. Maybe they have already

Know in advance that the siege of Jiannu has been lifted."

"Even if this is not the case, it shows that the ministers who are presiding over the New Deal are really concerned about the country and the people! In fact, they do not use their own money to advise the Ministry of Finance to use national funds to buy back, which is considered to be for the sake of the people of the world.

, and now they use their own money to buy it back without using state funds, which shows that they not only care about the people of the world, but also care about the court!"

…

Dong Tingxian felt even more uncomfortable after listening to what these Ming stock investors from outside the Trading Department of the Account Department were talking about.

Kong Zhenyun and Wu Zongda, civil servants who used to pretend to be honest in court, felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words.

Especially when the people say that they are useless and don't know how to stand up and take responsibility at this time.

Kong Zhenyun was so angry that he placed the bowl of porridge heavily on the table, stood up angrily and said: "These unscrupulous people! They are really unreasonable! My whole family is now poor and can only eat porridge, where can I get anything else?"

Use the money to control their life and death!"

Wu Zongda, who was also eating porridge at Kong Zhenyun's place, echoed: "What do ordinary people know? What is really hateful are reform ministers like Zhang Guojiu. If they want to buy back stocks, they will buy back stocks. Why are they so high-profile? It's not a cause for trouble."

He has to carry boxes of money all over the city, fearing that others will not know that he is sacrificing his own interests for the country and the people!"

Kong Zhenyun said a little sourly: "There is no way, who doesn't want everyone in the world to know about the good things he has done? If I had sold all the stocks when the stock price was high and made millions, I would have gotten a few

One hundred thousand taels of gongs and drums will make your majesty happy and the people happy too."

Saying that, Kong Zhenyun pressed Wu Zongda's hand: "What are you doing! You have already drank my bowl of porridge!"

"Why are you so petty and asking me to have another bowl? Don't you know that I am really poor now? I can only buy enough rice by waiting for my slave to go to the Household Trading Department to get stocks in exchange for silver."

It’s time to put it in the pot.”

As Wu Zongda spoke, he hurriedly struggled his hand out of Kong Zhenyun's hand, picked up a bowl of porridge on the table and drank it in big gulps.

Kong Zhenyun was furious when he saw this: "Wu, please don't go too far! You are a cabinet bachelor after all!"

Kong Zhenyun was about to scold Wu Zongda when he suddenly smelled a scent coming from outside.

“It smells so good!”

Kong Zhenyun couldn't help but follow the fragrance and saw outside the door, opposite the Chen Mansion, there were already crowds of cars and horses.

Wu Zongda also followed and said sourly: "The Chen family is hosting a banquet for guests again, and they are hosting people from major newspapers and periodicals again. No wonder the public opinion has changed so quickly. However, Chen Jisheng only spent three million."

He has repurchased shares twice and can continue to entertain guests and friends, which shows his current wealth! It is truly enviable!"

Kong Zhenyun pursed his lips and licked his tongue and said: "This is the chef from Zhaixinglou, otherwise there would not be such a fragrance. This fragrance is really unforgettable!"

Kong Zhenyun touched his belly as he spoke.

Seeing this, Wu Zongda said: "Are you hungry? Let's drink some porridge!"

Kong Zhenyun: "..."

"Hurry up! Don't wait! Brother Factory Guard, that's him. He is spreading rumors, saying that the imperial government is issuing shares of Maoshan Iron Mine just to swallow up the people's wealth!"

"Come on, follow us to the factory guard! You are taking the opportunity to slander the New Deal at this time. You are obviously sent by treacherous ministers like Kong Chizhou who pretend to be poor, aren't you?!"

At this time, there happened to be many people outside who spontaneously tied up some people and walked forward, cursing and saying that they wanted to send these tied people to the factory guard.

It turns out that after Tianqi decided not to stop the stock trading of Maoshan Iron Mine, and Zhang Gui and others invested money to buy back the stocks, and public opinion reversed, people with higher consciousness began to take the initiative to sue some people who tried to slander the New Deal to Dong Dong.

Changzhen Fusi even personally escorted him there.

But when Kong Zhenyun heard this, he was very angry for a moment and couldn't help but gnashed his teeth: "That's too much! These unruly people are really too much. How could they scold me like this! They actually called me a traitor!"

Kong Zhenyun was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He had to admit that ever since Xichang appeared and began to use the "Da Ming Daily" to instigate some people to maliciously speculate on court officials and officials, he and others wanted to do some honest stories worthy of being remembered for future generations. It’s getting harder and harder!

At this time, Dong Tingxian also saw that the people he sent out to spread slanderous remarks about the New Deal were actually arrested by some people.

This made him even more angry, and he cursed: "What a disgusting person!"

"Your Majesty has a decree! The inner court will use 10 million taels of internal funds to buy back stocks to stabilize the people!"

Not long after Dong Ting expressed his slander, Wei Zhongxian came to the Hubu Yamen with a team of eunuchs beating gongs and drums, and also brought many boxes of silver.

For a time, the people who came to the Transaction Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs were even more moved, and many people began to shout long live the emperor.

Dong Tingxian's face became even more ugly.
