Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Emperor Jing's mind buzzed, and the next moment he stood up abruptly.

"Come in!"

Fang Zheng Yi also stopped and stared fixedly at the door.

The troops have withdrawn... and Lai Gou'er's side has captured the Holy City?

This is truly great news!

The eunuch entered and immediately presented the report.

Emperor Jing couldn't wait to step forward, snatched the report, and began reading with shining eyes.

After reading it several times, he sighed and handed the report to Fang Zheng Yi.

"Zheng Yi, take a look too."

Fang Zheng Yi took the report and read it, a look of joy appearing on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! This great victory did not come easily! It is simply a heavy blow to the Church's power. In the future, our Great Jing's fleets will be able to travel freely in overseas countries."

Emperor Jing's expression, however, appeared somewhat gloomy: "The main culprit has escaped. The true strength of these six major dioceses is still unknown, and the Church may retaliate at any time. It seems that we still need to strengthen our forces overseas and prepare early."

Fang Zheng Yi deeply agreed.

This first battle was a brilliant victory, but the Church has deep roots, and it is obviously impossible to eradicate it all at once.

The subsequent troubles are the most important thing. Whether we can successfully deal with them depends on the preparations on Great Jing's side.

"Your Majesty, let's put aside other things for now. This is a major benefit for West Sea trade! The letter says that many countries are at odds with the Church. Cooperating with Great Jing will undoubtedly allow them to obtain more benefits. This time, the stock price may rise, and the opportunity to break even has arrived," Fang Zheng Yi added.

That's right! It's time to break even!

Emperor Jing's body shook!

He was just thinking about state affairs, how could he have forgotten this?

But... the Pope has not been eliminated, and there are still major hidden dangers. Will the market buy it?

"Zheng Yi, after this victory is announced, will West Sea Trade rise sharply?"

"It will definitely rise, but I don't know if it will rise sharply...."

"Then, if I release the news that the Church has been completely destroyed, will it rise sharply?"

"Your Majesty, that is against the law!!!"

Emperor Jing composed himself and coughed twice.

That's right... The Ministry of Revenue and the Exchange have been constantly improving various detailed rules to strictly prevent various false information.

His behavior is tantamount to fraud, not much different from rushing into a minister's house and directly confiscating his property.

As a stock commentator, a father to all the people, doing such a thing for money... is too shameful...

Immediately, Emperor Jing waved his hand to the eunuch and said, "You may leave. Pass this victory report to the Cabinet and various ministries, and also inform them that there will be no morning court tomorrow."

The eunuch retreated.

Fang Zheng Yi asked: "Your Majesty, there will be no morning court tomorrow?"

"No, I will personally go to the Exchange to take a look. You go and prepare in advance, and call the Crown Prince as well."

......

The next day, the Exchange's doors were not yet open, and there were still many people lined up outside waiting to enter.

Emperor Jing, Fang Zheng Yi, and the Crown Prince had already taken their seats in the VIP seats on the third floor.

Led by Zhang Biao, a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards were spread throughout the floors, with the third floor being heavily guarded.

The three of them leisurely ate morning tea.

He had not slept all night, but still looked energetic, although there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.

Whether the market will buy this victory depends on today.

Finally, the doors of the Exchange opened.

The people outside swarmed in.

In almost just two or three minutes, the Exchange changed from being deserted to extremely lively.

Emperor Jing smiled and looked down expectantly.

Later, the Exchange will announce all the major news about the listed stocks that have been collected.

Although it hasn't started yet, it doesn't prevent him from waiting with relish.

In fact, he also liked the enthusiastic atmosphere in the Exchange.

Countless funds were flowing in and out quickly, and the air was filled with the smell of money.

This feeling was intoxicating.

Suddenly, Emperor Jing's smile disappeared from his face, and his complexion gradually turned from white to black.

Fang Zheng Yi noticed something was wrong and quickly followed his gaze.

As soon as he looked, the corners of his mouth immediately widened.

Damn it, many of them are familiar faces!

They didn't attend the morning court and skipped work to run to the Exchange.

It is estimated that there are still many people in the Exchange today who sent their servants, but I don't know how many...

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, strictly investigating the officials of the world, shouldn't this include not going to work?

Interesting, these people came in person, they should be here to buy the dip... it seems that there will be a show today.

"Zheng Yi, write them all down for me. I want to see who is running to the Exchange to speculate on stocks instead of being on duty!" Emperor Jing said coldly.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Yuanzhao beside him secretly glanced at him, picked up his tea and silently drank it, covering up his face full of contempt.

Father is such a double standard...

In the trading hall, people gradually began to move around in the crowd.

They whispered to everyone they met: "Buying West Sea Trade, two taels and three qian of silver, does anyone want to sell?"

The people who were asked were all stunned.

Two taels and three qian, this is a bit higher than the price on the board?

Of course, sell! It would be stupid not to sell. This broken stock is like a stagnant pool, what's the point of keeping it?

Isn't it better to buy stocks in brothels?

Therefore, stocks of West Sea Trade began to be traded one by one.

After half an hour, the situation in the trading hall suddenly changed.

The leeks holding West Sea Trade have realized something!

The situation is a bit special today. Many people are inexplicably coming to buy the unsaleable West Sea Trade.

Could it be that these people have insider information? Is there any good news about West Sea Trade?

The trading atmosphere in the entire trading hall began to change.

Originally, stocks could be easily bought for two taels and three qian.

But now, the leeks holding the stocks are no longer selling! They have become smarter!

But the buyers seemed to be prepared and immediately raised the purchase price.

"Brother, will you sell for three taels? Just this price, seeing that you are a good person, I'll let you earn a little."

"Hehe, brother, I'll give you three taels, can you tell me if there is any good news?"

"Well, I heard that the Marquis of Jianye bought it, and I want to gamble along with him."

"Damn it! Are you living in a cave? The Marquis of Jianye bought it months ago, the whole capital knows! So what if he bought it, isn't the stock price still the same?"

"Stop dawdling, will you sell it or not, just three taels! If you don't sell it, I'll leave."

"Don't go, I'll sell!"

One lively transaction after another began to take place in private.

Leeks are leeks after all. Although they increasingly feel that something is not right, they can't resist the temptation of a little profit.

They took the opportunity to sell all the few stocks they had in hand.

The price has risen rapidly from the initial two taels and three qian to nearly four taels!

And the price tag of West Sea Trade on the board has not moved.

Emperor Jing, looking at the chaos below, was not in the mood to care about the ugly faces of his dedicated officials.

He was somewhat恍惚for a moment.

This... is it really starting to rise?

After another ten minutes or so, the clerk in charge of transmitting news from the Exchange stood at the front desk.

He took out the latest reports summarized and collected the previous day and began to read them one by one.

The lively trading below, with all the attention drawn to West Sea Trade, no one paid attention to the clerk reading the reports.

"The day before yesterday, a collapse occurred in the Nanshu Iron Mine, three people died in the mine, the progress of mining was hindered, one month later...."

"Snow Moon Tower in Taoyuan County announced that it will begin expanding its thirty acres of scenery next month, allowing people to experience immersive experiences... It is expected to add simulated railway train carriages, suspended crystal rooms, overseas cathedrals.... as well as fifty new costumes, twelve new makeup looks, and eight new specially blended floral essential oils..."

"Great Jing successfully launched a surprise attack on the Church's Holy City in the West Sea. The Holy City has now been occupied by Great Jing. The old Pope has escaped during the war. The new Pope has ascended the throne, and the new Pope has close relations with Great Jing.... At the same time, Great Jing has contacted and established relations with various overseas countries. The overseas troops that previously besieged Fika have all withdrawn..."

As soon as this news came out.

The noise in the trading hall stopped abruptly...
