4559 Good show start
How many great changes have been made by human beings, but in fact, they are always silent at the beginning, or ordinary people are indifferent when they see it. Only many years later do people regret it.
It was like this normal June in 1874 that caused such a big chaos in the end, and even shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty!
June 15th, sunny, no wind, and hot weather!
At around 7 o'clock in the morning, groups of crowded bannermen appeared in Dashilan. These people sat in the breakfast shop drinking bean juice and eating scorched circles. They occupied a good position and refused to leave after they had finished eating. The breakfast shop owner could not afford to offend these old men, and did not dare to swear or persuade them, so they had to let them influence their business.
Time passed minute by minute, and more and more bannermen gathered. After eight o'clock, almost all the breakfast shops and teahouses in Dashilan had no place to sit in these shops that opened early.
Many bannermen and men had to chat and talk on the street!
Everyone was waiting for the opening of Master Feng Xiu’s stock exchange. These people were holding a large amount of stocks in their hands, looking at each of them anxiously.
"What's going on? When is it now? The door is not open yet. Is it going to be yellow?"
"He dares! This is the emperor's mission. The emperor asked Feng Xiu to open the exchange. Wouldn't it be a shame to lose the face of the emperor if he didn't open it?"
"Hey... I'm talking about brothers, why are there more and more people today? Are we waiting to sell them? Will it be our turn then?"
"It's possible. I looked at the exchange. There were only more than fifty people standing inside. If you squeezed, you wouldn't be able to squeeze in!"
"Look, Chang Sui from the Prince's family has been queuing at the door, and even the Prince is about to throw it out. Let's squeeze forward quickly... Don't be unable to line up then!"
After 8:30, the crowd became restless. Many of the royal palaces, Beile Mansions, Marquises, etc., sent their own slaves to queue up to occupy the pit.
Ordinary middle-aged bannermen are not treated so well, so they can only hold their own stocks and queue up!
What's more, there are also a group of bannermen who have thrown their stocks into Fan Da's head early to watch the fun. These people are gloating and laughing at people.
Mr. Fu, Mr. Qin and others had already sold their stocks to Fan Biao. Now they are not as easy as they are, and they have seized the seat on the second floor of the restaurant opposite the exchange and looked down.
Logically speaking, the restaurant will not open at this time, but it cannot help but be too proud of the bannermen. They smashed the back door and even opened it, and the boss didn't dare to stop it.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Mr. Fu and Mr. Qin were stunned, and then quickly went over and bowed and said, "Isn't this Brother Luo Hao, Brother Wen Xiu? The two great talents and the editor-in-chief are there too?"
Two editors of the Qing Dynasty, Wen Xiu and Luo Hao, the Hanlin of the Qing Dynasty, who was the first to join Xiao Letian's Western Learning, was dismissed from office for a while. Later, Xiao Letian's power grew stronger and stronger, and the court licked his face and asked the two to come back to become officials.
Now they are employed in the nominal Hanlin job, and they are employed in the Hanlin salary. They also serve as editor-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty, and are the salary of Master Qing San.
He is rich and famous, and he also controls the only official newspaper in the Qing Dynasty, which shows that their power is so strong.
These two people would not know a medium-sized bannerman like Mr. Fu and Mr. Qin. They were just familiar with each other. Seeing that they nodded and bowed, they didn't care about it and replied casually, and then directed their subordinates to fiddle with the camera.
"We're all good at shooting! This is the first day of the listing of the first stock in the Qing Dynasty. It has historical memorial significance, so we have to shoot it clearly!"
"Yeah! Please rest assured..."
Mr. Fu and Mr. Qin had a boring meal and went to another private room awkwardly. When he went out, he cursed in secretly, "Bah... what..."
"Look soon... the door is open, the exchange is open..." As soon as we entered the house, people heard a burst of chaos outside. At 8:45, the door panel of the exchange finally unloaded from the inside.
There were more than a hundred people outside, and when they saw that they opened the door, they wanted to squeeze in. This exchange was not an ordinary trading house. The ones inside were all famous posts on the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Jing or Chan Hanako, but they had no good face.
"Whatever you squeeze! Whatever you squeeze? In a while, Lord Baofeng Yinggui is going to come here to accompany Lord Feng Xiu to light up the incense and set off firecrackers! You are scrambling the rules and arresting you, the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
"Back, back! Banner? Master, I am still a bannerman! This is the Qing Dynasty Capital Stock Exchange, not his mother's restaurant. You guy swallowed me your spit and dared to spit one!"
With such great official power, all the officials in the exchange are Manchu and Han. Maybe Feng Xiu had guessed that the scene would be a little messy today, so everyone specially found some banner officials to come to the market.
He even invited Yinggui and Baofeng!
When they heard that the military ministers came, these bannermen did not dare to act rashly. Looking at the bannermen on the steps who were all face-saving as the prince, they all had official ranks, so they did not dare to cause trouble, but they still kept scolding.
After a while, there were even neat running sounds on the street. Xiao Huang brought a platoon of police officers to maintain order.
"When you retreat, you will push yourself behind the wall of humans... The Minister of Military Affairs is here! Lord Baofeng, Lord Yinggui is here... they will retreat!"
Three sedan chairs, Bao Jing, Ying Gui and Feng Xiu came to the exchange in a row under the escort of the police. These bannermen really dared not make trouble anymore. The Minister of Military Affairs was not just a joke.
Three court officials walked out of the sedan chair wearing court uniforms with a serious look on their faces. The drum teams on both sides of the exchange immediately started to tickly, making the scene look like someone's wife.
After all, this exchange is also a unit under the Ministry of Revenue and an extension of the imperial system. Naturally, it cannot be as simple as opening a business in ordinary transactions.
Lord Baosheng announced the edict that everyone in the long street was kneeling on the ground. The simple edict simply talked about the cause and effect of the birth of the exchange and the Beijing-Tianjin Railway stocks, as well as the expectations of the court!
After people shouted long live, Lord Yinggui personally pulled off the red silk from the plaque, Lord Fengxiu ordered the setting off firecrackers, and the Beijing Exchange finally opened.
But the troubles were all the time until 9:40 in the morning. Forty-five minutes had passed since the opening of the Jiangnan stock market. These eight banner playboys could not wait. When Bao Jing waited for the official to leave, these people were like dogs snatching food, and they were like crazy and squeezed in!
Mr. Fu, who was watching the fun on the second floor, immediately smiled and slapped, "Haha, look... look... the shoes are squeezed out..."
"The hats are soaring... Hahaha, I'm going to tell you not to sell them earlier. Now I know you're anxious? It's too late... wait and lose money!"
It turns out that I don’t care about the big deal. More than 100 bannermen who sold stocks were surrounded by more than 100 bannermen who watched the fun. Seeing these people making a fool of themselves and thinking that they had successfully jumped off the pirate ship, these people were as happy as drinking snow water.
"Children... give me the iced sour plum soup! It's so refreshing... It's so refreshing today!"
