The news spread quickly, and the whole of Macau was already shocked.

There were crying everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The stocks have risen.

Unfortunately, I threw it in advance.

Although Macau is just a big village, in fact, people who can come to this "New World" all rely on their heads to put them on their belts and earn a lot of family income.

At this time, the people of Folang Ji had begun to try to invest, especially those who dared to travel thousands of miles to those who didn't want their lives. They were already brave enough to make money.

It's a pity this time...

Passing by the wealthy person.

There were drunkards everywhere on the street. The drunkards were carrying wine and cursing, probably scolding the stupid oriental donkey.

If he doesn't buy it, the stock will not be able to be sold, and now they will make a lot of money.

That night, there were quarrels between men and women in many houses.

On the muddy road, several drunkards were lying in it, as if they were talking about stock-related matters.

"Liu Baihu..."

At this time, a light was faintly on in a house.

A clerk came in.

This man, known as Baihu, is an official of Baihu under the jurisdiction of Beizhen Fushi. His duty is to monitor the movements in the Zhujiang area.

However, the factory guard suddenly became interested in Macau, especially in the Dutch stocks, so Liu Jin, as a householder, had to perform his duties conscientiously.

The Jinyiwei who released the capital was very miserable. Maybe the Beizhen Fushi had forgotten you for a long time, and all you had to do was write a memorial every month and send it back to the capital. Most of the time, your memorial was just archived after reading it by the civil servants of the department.

No one cares about you, and even the Beizhen Fushishi didn't know that there was such a person here.

Liu Jin is such an existence. The Jinyiwei looks majestic outside, but his majesty is extremely limited, especially in the south. The tax resistance is very serious. There are often gentry and people surrounding the eunuch's mansions, while the local officials are just acting, but in fact they are watching from the wall.

Only the poor Jinyiwei will do their best to protect these eunuchs in custody. A few days ago, Jinyiwei was thrown directly into the river by a mob and drowned.

Liu Jin always wanted to go back to the capital.

But now...

Jiu Qiansui actually cared about the affairs of Macau and the foreigners, so Liu Jin stayed in Macau almost every day to inquire about various news.

This civil servant is a local account that makes accounts for Fanyi, with a good eye and ear, and it is also the one that Liu Jin puts in here.

"What, what news?"

The clerk immediately said, "I heard that the stock has risen."

"The stock has risen?" Liu Jin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Didn't that stock be worthless?"

"But somehow, news came from Malacca that the Dutch East India Company made a big profit, and its stocks soared in Florida. Those who sold the stocks now beat their chests and lost their feet and couldn't regret it."

Liu Jin cheered up, this was a big news, so he said seriously: "You continue to explore again, I want to believe it. This is not a joke."

"yes."

The next morning, Liu Jin was not idle either. He began to travel around Macau and search for news.

Two days later, another Clippers arrived here.

The Clippers came from Ryukyu, but they came from a Japanese merchant, and the news he brought was even more exciting.

The conflict between the Japanese and Dutch people has been mediated, and the Dutch governor who was finally held hostage was released by the Japanese merchants and they re-concluded a fair contract with each other. The Dutch still monopolized the trade on the Japanese island, but was willing to give more profits to the Japanese merchants.

As soon as the news came out, it was an uproar again.

Although I don’t know if the news has been greatly beneficial to East India Company, according to people’s speculation, this is definitely a big benefit, I’m afraid that this stock... will rise sharply.

At least in Macau, some people have begun to be willing to buy stocks with thirteen guilds in the market.

Some people are even willing to offer more.

However, even if you offer such a price, there are almost not many stocks on the market circulating.

Liu Jin received the news and was excited. After ensuring the news was accurate, he made a quick report.

Report the situation here truthfully, ask someone to send a fast horse to the capital immediately.

…………

But at this time, another news came from the capital, and for a moment, the capital was shocked.

After all... Although the drought in Guanzhong finally subsided under the relief of Emperor Tianqi, it finally subsided, but... the food shortage was still serious. Although many refugees defected to the capital, the people who stayed behind still turned against each other.

In Yanqing Prefecture, Shanxi, a man named Gao Yingxiang called himself the King of Chuang and shouted loudly: "Why not die of starvation instead of sitting there, why not die of stealing?" He formed 36 camps with various rebels, gathered 200,000 people, Ningxiang, Shilou, Jishan, Wenxi, Hejian and other prefectures and counties. He walked into Guanzhong, Henan and other places.

For a moment, the court was shocked.

Wherever the rebels passed, according to the reports of officials and "righteous people" from various places, they were killed in the wild and blood was floating on the pestle.

The court was shocked.

Emperor Tianqi, dressed in patched cloth, hurriedly summoned all officials to discuss.

The court suddenly became noisy, and all officials asked the court to immediately suppress it.

Even when dealing with Jiannu, there was no such righteous indignation.

The factory guards' reports were a different situation. Wherever the rebels passed, they carried the people, attacked the gentry, opened warehouses and released grain, and the people were very happy and they all followed suit, like a rain.

This news was even more terrifying to Emperor Apocalypse.

Because the local officials' reports are often how terrible the rebels are and how terrified the people are.

If you are afraid, it would be fine. You are ordered to recruit volunteers and protect yourself and then transfer a military horse, which will be suppressed.

But the people are happy and excited. Behind this joy is resentment, so it is not a problem of suppression.

Of course, Emperor Aoki did not show these retributions.

He looked at the ministers who were also very resentful and realized that many ministers, whose families were small, were in Shanxi, Guanzhong, and Henan, which meant that wherever the rebels passed, they could not escape any of these families.

Emperor Tianqi issued an order to order governors from all provinces to recruit righteous people to fight against them.

In the evening, Emperor Tianqi went to Qinzheng Hall again and summoned the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to discuss it. He was exhausted until midnight.

The next morning, there was another news that provinces reported to urge money and food, after all, the emperor did not need hungry soldiers.

Emperor Tianqi frowned repeatedly, and heard that some riots had entered the hometown of Zhang Guangqian, the Minister of Personnel, and killed ninety-one people, and seized the food.

Zhang Guangqian heard the bad news and fainted immediately, and then asked Emperor Tianqi to allow him to return to his hometown to suppress the thieves.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi was also summoned to Qinzheng Hall.

At this time, the cabinet ministers had already surrendered.

Emperor Tianqi showed exhaustion, but only Wei Zhongxian, Tian Ergeng, and several Jinyiwei Tongzhi and assistant ranks.

Obviously, this is a small meeting, which was held for factory guards.

Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything, but ordered people to read the report sent by the factory guards from all over the country.

Zhang Jing looked at it for a moment and sighed.

It has to be said that Emperor Tianqi’s strategy was right at the beginning. If the disaster in Guanzhong was followed by these, there would never be such a big deviation.

But what about the reality? The reason for the rebellion was not written in the newspaper, but Zhang Jingyi didn't ask for it, and it was just that the officials forced the people to rebel.

If there are one person, ten people, one hundred people, even if a thousand people rebel, then it can be said that these people are naughty people and are unforgivable.

But 200,000 people rebelled, countless figures followed, rebellions broke out one after another, and wherever the bandits went, nine out of ten families were empty, the rich were killed, and the poor were followed with their families! What else can I say? Why not blame them for being hungry, but instead being like the mantis?

After closing the memorial, Tian Ergeng said: "Your Majesty, Shanxi's Jinyiwei Tiqi has also lost a lot... This place in Shanxi and Henan is not far from the capital. If it is not destroyed, I am only afraid that the capital will be uneasy. If the bandits sweep across Shandong, the canal may be cut off. At that time... I cannot take care of each other in the head and end of the Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely have a big trouble."

Emperor Tianqi frowned and nodded worriedly, "Yes, the comprehensiveness of the canal is the most important thing. I have urgently transferred my army and horses. The first thing I have to guard against is the prefectures where the canal passes."

Wei Zhongxian said: "Why not draw a Guanning army from the border town to enter the pass to suppress the thieves?"

Emperor Tianqi shook his head: "No, Guanning Army should not move lightly. Otherwise, the situation would be even more difficult."

Speaking of this, he showed some anxiety and continued: "I now need money and food to allocate the provinces of Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi that were invaded by the bandits..."

Wei Zhongxian said: "What Your Majesty said is that as long as the government and the righteous people unite, a mere bandit is not a problem."

Wei Zhongxian's original intention was just to comfort Emperor Tianqi.

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi suddenly became furious: "What kind of righteous people! The things are bad, but the so-called righteous people are bad. It is not these so-called "righteous people" who embezzle the fields on weekdays, and they are put into trouble during disasters. How can they be like this in the countryside today!"

He cursed.

Looking at the angry Emperor Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian was so scared that he didn't dare to let out.

Zhang Jingyi seemed calm at this time, but said, "Your Majesty, I have been granted a title of marquis, but Your Majesty has not given me land yet."

So as soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Jingyi!

Is this the time to talk about this?

Emperor Tianqi was already furious. When he heard this, he wanted to curse people, but he finally held back and blushed.

Indeed, as usual, you have to give land, at least you are a marquis, and giving a few hundred acres of land is a rule.

After holding it in for a while, Emperor Tianqi finally said: "I will order the Ministry of Revenue to clear the house..."

Zhang Jingyi said, "Can I choose a piece of land by myself?"

Emperor Tianqi was stunned, then looked at Zhang Jingyi with a tense face: "I have not many royal princes..."
