Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Liu Hongxun smiled bitterly, and said: "Perhaps the words of the saints can only be used for speaking, not for doing things, right? Neo Confucianism and ancestral system are right, but people's hearts are not ancient. Those who do not control the system will use whatever means and ignore morality; that is why the Neo Confucianism has been defeated and practical learning has flourished, and people all over the world have lost confidence in restoring the ancestral system and the status of Neo Confucianism."

Speaking of this, Liu Hongxun couldn't help but think of Yang Sichang's cheating on him, so he said that many people who want to respect Neo Confucianism and restore the ancestral system use all means and ignore morality.

After hearing Liu Hongxun's words, Wu Weiye realized something: "You are always right, but people's hearts are not right. Yang Sichang is unscrupulous, but people like Yuan Keli and Chen Zizhuang are villains who follow power! Just because these villains are too So much, it makes it difficult for Nanwang and Zhao Ergong to support them, so that it is difficult to restore the ancestral system and the career of Neo Confucianism!"

Liu Hongxun then continued: "So his Uncle Zhang Guo won this time, but he won by making good use of people's hearts, especially the hearts of villains. Although those who support Neo Confucianism in the south have ruined the people of the country, this does not hinder the future. The uncle of the country will also destroy the people of the community!"

Wu Weiye nodded.

Liu Hongxun continued: "That's why we need to prevent Uncle Guo's power from growing! We need to find other forces to check and balance Uncle Guo!"

Wu Weiye asked: "How to check and balance?"

Liu Hongxun sighed: "The world is going downhill and people's hearts are in turmoil. It is difficult to check and balance Uncle Guo!"

But after sighing, Liu Hongxun suddenly raised his eyebrows again, and said: "But it's not hopeless. Uncle Guo can win people's hearts because he can pull many people to make money together. Nowadays, people's hearts are more profitable than righteousness, so many people I am so fond of Uncle Guo that even Your Majesty is unwilling to kill Uncle Guo to thank the world because of Uncle Guo's ability to make money!"

After speaking, Liu Hongxun said again: "But in fact, it is not the uncle from another country who can lead everyone to make profits. In this world, it is not only the uncle from other countries who make money properly?"

Liu Hongxun leaned closer to Wu Weiye and said in a low voice: "Recently, Zhuojing learned about the private issuance of stocks by wealthy businessmen in Shanxi through the dignitaries in Beijing, such as Mrs. Wu Qinghou. Many dignitaries bought their shares. shares, and the stock price has soared again and again, with a lot of dividends. The reason, of course, is that the coal mine of the Wang family is more than ten times more than the coal mine of the uncle of Xishan Guo. So this is undoubtedly a golden mountain, and many dignitaries are waiting to share its profits Woolen cloth."

After Liu Hongxun said that, he said: "It can be seen that it is not only relying on uncles from other countries to bring benefits to the people of the world. We can get benefits in other ways to enrich the people and strengthen the country!"

"The lower officials have also heard about this stock in the Wang family. It's just that the lower officials don't have a chance to buy it. I don't know Mr. Liu. I might buy it for the students. The students are not greedy for profit. They just don't want to rely on powerful relatives to make profits. It's just a profit to check and balance Uncle Zhang Guo in the future."

Wu Weiye said: "It doesn't matter how much money you make, not to mention that students are not interested in money, they regard it as something outside of themselves, the main thing is that they can bring down Uncle Guo in the future."

Liu Hongxun nodded after hearing this: "Old man, let's ask Zhuo Jing, and I will try my best to buy some Wang family stocks for you Wu Hanlin."

After hearing this, Wu Weiye got up and bowed excitedly: "Mr. Liu is generous, please be respected by the students!"

In fact, Wu Weiye regretted not being able to enter Beijing to take the imperial examination as soon as possible, and was studying in his hometown of Xishu, so that he could not buy the shares of Maoshan Iron Mine in time to make a fortune. It's just a high-sounding excuse for Uncle Guo to make a fortune together.

Liu Hongxun didn't mean to expose it either.

He just hates himself for being sloppy, and he still likes to open his mouth without covering it up, and accidentally tells about the profitable business, and let the Hanlin junior in front of him immediately seize the opportunity, so that he can't do it if he doesn't agree.

But Liu Hongxun didn't want to be a dishonest person, so he went home first after agreeing, and asked his wife, Li Shi: "How much is the stock of the Wang family worth now?"

Mrs. Li said with a smile, "It's doubled again!"

Liu Hongxun couldn't help but gasped: "How much money is this worth?"

"It's enough for our family to spend several lifetimes! So, I also borrowed a lot of silver to buy it. I'm just waiting for you to return to your hometown and become a rich man in the future!"

Then, Liu Hongxun told his wife about Wu Weiye entrusting him to buy stocks.

Mrs. Li was quite angry after hearing this, and complained to Liu Hongxun: "Tell others such a good thing. If the master wants to be a Bodhisattva, he should also help the poor. Why bother to help the master of the Imperial Academy? The master who can be admitted to the Imperial Academy is a poor family." If you don’t have money, you still need you to be a boy of good fortune.”

Liu Hongxun blushed from his wife's anger, and couldn't help saying: "Anyway, no matter what, I have already agreed, you have to help if you help, and you have to help if you don't help! If you want to prevent my master from making enemies in the officialdom, just be honest. Do it for real!"

Li's anger returned, and he still used his boudoir relationship to help Wu Weiye buy stocks.

Wu Weiye was not polite, he gave out all his family's cash in Beijing, and repaid a lot of money to Mrs. Li to buy.

Not long after Mrs. Li bought stocks for Wu Weiye, Mrs. Wu Qinghou suddenly came to Mrs. Li: "Sister Li of the Liu family, something has happened, and the person named Wang Bin is gone! The Wang family coal mine said it was probably a fake , The stock of the Wang family has also plummeted now, I'm here to tell you now, sell the stock quickly! If you don't sell it, you will go bankrupt!"

"I've sold it first, and although I still lost a lot, it's better than losing it all! You should hurry up, because we are good sisters, so I hurried to tell you."

Mrs. Li was taken aback when she heard this, and asked, "What's going on?"

The wife of Marquis of Wu Qing, Mrs. Zhu, said: "The Li Fuming who followed Yang Sichang to the south and was defeated before was pardoned for the death penalty of surrendering to the enemy because of his contribution to Xichang and his meritorious service?"

"But this Li Fuming suddenly told the people in Xichang that he had bought all the stocks of the Wang family with the two million taels of military funds he embezzled before, so he asked the people in Xichang to help him go to the trading office of the Wang family to sell the stocks."

"As a result, as soon as they went, they found that Mr. Wang Bin and Mr. Wang were gone, the trading office was closed, and all the money was gone!"

"The stock worth two million silver in Li Fuming's hand has not been converted into silver. As soon as the news spread, the stock of Wang's family plummeted! Now it has fallen back to a price that is not as good as the treasure!"

"What?!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li fainted on the spot.

"Old man's money!"

Liu Hongxun, who was in the study in the inner room, let out a cry when he heard the conversation between his wife and Mrs. Wu Qinghou.

"master!"

Then, Liu Hongxun's son also shouted, and said: "Come here! Tell the doctor quickly, the master has passed out!"

When Liu Hongxun woke up, it was already dark, and at this moment, Wu Weiye came to his house to visit him.

Because of this, Liu Hongxun couldn't help telling Wu Weiye the very bad news, and said: "I am sorry for you! I shouldn't believe what women say, but I really think there are big profits to be made! Now, the old man's own family also Therefore, the family went bankrupt, and the key point is that Zhuo Jing repaid a lot of money, and now he has to pawn the property to repay the debt!"

As Liu Hongxun spoke, he sighed: "Could it be possible that you can only rely on Uncle Guo to make big profits?"
