Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The butler repeated those two sentences over and over, causing Xu Wenshu to stomp his feet in anger: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry down and keep buying! Don't come home if you can't buy them!"

"Yes, yes."

The butler took out his handkerchief and vigorously wiped the sweat from his forehead twice, then hurriedly ran downstairs.

The feverish atmosphere downstairs continued to intensify.

Countless people roared hysterically.

To avoid attracting attention and to spread out their purchases, many people from Taoyuan County had come, and a large number of them were still calmly standing at the front of the line.

This was in stark contrast to the crowd behind them, who were filled with resentment.

Stock prices continued to fluctuate, and Jingdi's emotions were still immersed in excitement.

Fang Zheng leaned back in his chair, one hand clutching his neck.

He felt like he was suffocating!

Three taels! It broke three taels! This was too damn crazy! This was truly riding a rocket to the sky.

Even before the stock market crash 15 years ago, he had never experienced such a frenzied atmosphere.

This kind of game will eventually lead to big problems... But let's go crazy once today, and then slowly fix the loopholes later.

In a flash, an hour passed.

The volume of noise in the hall had decreased a lot, but Jingdi was still staring at the board with fiery eyes.

Four taels!

One million taels had turned into four million taels in such a short period of one or two hours!

A miracle! He had never experienced such a thing in his life, even more auspicious than a divine omen...

The people of Taoyuan County were still queuing, and the people behind them had already cried their tears dry...

Many people knelt on the ground in despair, listening to the people from Taoyuan County who had already traded their stocks shouting beside them.

"Five taels! Five taels! Five taels!"

Jingdi's chest rose and fell slightly, and he perked up again.

But at this moment, a violent gong sounded.

"The market is closed! The market is closed! Please come early tomorrow!!!"

Seeing the trading counter close, the crowd waiting to buy stocks immediately wailed.

The crowd at the end of the line, who had long given up hope, walked away cursing.

Jingdi, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart and turned to look at Fang Zheng: "What's going on? It can still rise, why are people leaving?"

Fang Zheng waved his hand weakly: "The market is closed, Your Majesty. Let's go back."

"No... I want to see how high it can rise. I will find an inn nearby to stay today." Jingdi clenched his fist, looking like he hadn't had enough.

Fang Zheng nodded: "Since Your Majesty wants to watch, then I will help you arrange a place to stay."

After speaking, he got up and went downstairs.

Arriving on the second floor, he saw Liu Zhongshun and Xiao Qiang raising their glasses to celebrate with satisfaction, so he asked: "How is the situation?"

Liu Zhongshun said: "Master, the situation has not yet been summarized. But our county has really made a fortune... It's just a pity that the listing time was too late today, and our people didn't buy all of them."

Fang Zheng clicked his tongue: "It's okay, keep buying tomorrow. Didn't I tell you to book all the restaurants nearby?"

"Ah... Yes! All booked. The people from our county have all been arranged."

"Well, clear out a top-quality room closest to here for me. His Majesty wants to stay here."

Liu Zhongshun asked cautiously: "Is it appropriate for His Majesty to stay here?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. The surroundings are full of Embroidered Uniform Guards. Go arrange it." Fang Zheng instructed, and then seemed to remember something, "Also, find someone to make two signs and hang them outside the exchange."

"Write [The stock market is risky, invest with caution]. Today's trading was too crazy. I don't think tomorrow will be any better."

Liu Zhongshun nodded with a sympathetic and worried expression.

"But Master, I have a question. I feel that most people will not leave the exchange. They might even live at the entrance. Our people may not be able to get in line tomorrow...."

Fang Zheng said: "Don't worry! If someone lives at the entrance, you can notify the soldiers and horses to come over and use any excuse, such as cleaning up the city, to drive people away. What's the point of so many people gathering near where His Majesty is staying?"

"Okay, I understand!"

After Fang Zheng left, Liu Zhongshun pondered for a moment and called Xiao Qiang beside him: "Later, take some money to the soldiers and horses to bribe them and ask them to clear the area. Before that, you go... like this."

Xiao Qiang listened with hesitation: "Brother, aren't we being a bit of a scam? There's no point in earning this little money, right?"

Liu Zhongshun said disdainfully: "Even the greatest wealth is accumulated one copper coin at a time! You don't want to earn money just because it's a small amount? Your mentality is not good! Besides, the Master said that the stock market is risky, so let them taste a little risk first, so that they don't suffer a big loss in the future."

"So, we are doing good deeds!" Xiao Qiang was happy.

"That's right, suffering losses is a blessing."

"Okay! I'll arrange it immediately!"

.....

The exchange had already closed, and as Liu Zhongshun expected, many people were still lingering at the entrance and had not left.

A group of people leaned against the wall and lined up in a long queue tacitly.

The scene was very similar to the launch of the iPhone 4s, with kidney-selling customers waiting overnight to rush to buy it.

They were just waiting for the market to open tomorrow to immediately rush into the exchange and invest all their wealth in the Dagging Railway.

If this succeeds, not to mention a worry-free life for the rest of their lives, it will definitely be a fortune!

Many people thought so.

In the queue, some people were talking, while others were silent.

But almost everyone had their hands in their sleeves.

The sky gradually darkened, and the temperature became lower and lower, but they absolutely could not leave now, they could only stay here and get through the night.

If they left the queue halfway and couldn't get into the exchange tomorrow, they would regret it for the rest of their lives!

Just as everyone had made up their minds to get through the night.

Several carriages slowly drove from the street, and a scent of rice wafted from far to near to everyone's noses.

The crowd who were originally squatting on the ground with their hands in their sleeves immediately looked around.

"Food! Someone is here to sell food!!!"

The crowd cheered immediately.

When the carriages approached, everyone saw clearly that there were a dozen servants following the carriages.

The leading servant shouted loudly: "Quilts are ten taels a set, fried rice is one tael a serving, free well water! Limited quantity, first come, first served!"

The crowd was originally happy that someone was providing services, but immediately cursed when they heard the price.

"Are you taking advantage of the situation! Shameless things, get out of here!"

"Cheaper, I'll give you five taels, can I have a quilt and rice?"

"Have some backbone, isn't this obviously ripping people off! Let's not buy it, let him run for nothing."

Many of those present were wealthy merchants.

Seeing this, they immediately understood that some bastards didn't want to make money from stocks, but wanted to cut a profit from the shareholders!

But cut it, cut it!

Damn it, tomorrow we will heavily invest in the Dagging Railway, what's the difference between these eleven or twelve taels of silver!

When the carriage passed by, someone immediately stretched out his hand, holding a silver note between his fingers: "Give me a set of quilts and two servings of rice!"

"Hey!" The servant happily took a quilt from the carriage and handed it over, and also took two lotus leaf packages containing fried rice, "Here you are, Brother Qiang."

The person who got the quilt first happily draped it over his body, opened the lotus leaf package and took a bite of the hot fried rice, looked at the people around him, and said smugly: "Delicious, so damn delicious!"

You eat it, just eat it, it's just a broken fried rice, what are you showing off?

The surrounding people watched and swallowed their saliva.

"Give me a set too!"

With someone taking the lead, the unity was immediately lost, and the people in the queue scrambled to buy quilts one after another.

Before long, the goods on the carriage were snatched away.

Most people wrapped themselves in quilts, bulging, leaning against the wall and gnawing on fried rice.

Those who didn't get it stared at the others eagerly.

Just as everyone was eating, a group of people came running wildly from the street, holding torches.

Before the shareholders in the queue could react, the leading petty official had already stood in front of everyone and said coldly: "Received a report that someone is gathering in front of the exchange, trying to cause trouble!"

"Now the soldiers and horses have ordered you to return to your homes immediately, otherwise you will be immediately thrown into prison! Released the next day!"

The queuing crowd was collectively dumbfounded and fell into confusion.

The merchant closest to him suddenly cried out, spitting out a mouthful of fried rice.

"My God! Aren't you trying to kill me!！！！！"
