The news that the Xu family gave birth to a son spread like wildfire. This matter was very interesting. Many officials wanted to congratulate him, but they also felt that it was inappropriate. The more dark the officials ran to Xu's house to show good things, the more they were.
They didn't dare to set off. Instead, Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing came together after hearing the news.
The two of them moved, and the rest followed one after another. For a moment, there were cars and horses at the door of the Xu family, and guests gathered. If it weren't for the possibility of today, Xu Chang would have prepared in advance and prepared in advance, otherwise he would have to
It's impossible to make a fuss.
It was a whole day of fun, and for a while, this place became the focus of public opinion. No matter what, the surname Xu gave birth to a son, after all, he was the governor of Zhejiang, his father was also the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Xu family was the same.
, It's a legend in the capital. Even if there are people who are resentful in their hearts, they secretly cursed Xu's son without an asshole, but it doesn't matter. At least when they enter the Xu family's door, they have to laugh at least and say obediently.
Hou Wandai.
But behind this excitement, another exciting moment appeared.
As soon as the proclamation of the attack was issued, Ruyifang suddenly felt thunderous.
Become rich!
What is the most needed when fighting? Materials!
Even if the court does not come forward to buy materials, it adopts the method of requisition, but in any case, resources are resources, and resources are fixed assets. Although they will continue to produce, their productivity is limited after all.
Once the court occupies most of the resources, the resources on the market will naturally become in short supply. For example, if there are so many people who do not produce food, the grain will definitely be reduced next year. Although corvee labor and officers and soldiers are supported by the court, the food of the court is also
It’s not something that is transformed. Merchants with grain in their hands are still afraid that the old grain will not be sold?
In addition, many workshops are now producing cloth, but the sales are quite large. On the one hand, they need to meet the needs of ordinary people, and on the other hand, they need to meet the sea route comforting envoy. Now, a large amount of manpower is drawn
Going to war will definitely reduce the cloth produced by self-sufficiency, and the sales of cloth are also highly favored.
Of course, there is no need to mention iron products such as pig iron.
At this moment, Ruyi Square has launched wave after wave of **.
The brands were hung up one by one, but unfortunately they were not red cards sold, but they were all green brands purchased. The goods were in short supply. At this time, the prices of all goods were rising. Who would want to sell them at this time? Instead, it was many people.
, need to stockpile goods on a large scale.
As a result, the goods prices have risen continuously, and demand has almost increased infinitely.
Although rising prices are not a good thing, it is a great benefit for workshop owners. After all, the supply of goods produced is in short supply. Naturally, there is a motivation to accelerate and expand production.
Nowadays, many traders who are distributing goods are becoming more jealous of the merchants who are producing. Some even go directly to Zhejiang and Tianjin to buy land, set up workshops, and recruit craftsmen.
The more workshops, the more craftsmen and apprentices they need. As a last resort, merchants have to pay better salaries in order to compete for manpower. While prices have increased, labor has increased unknowingly.
.
However, this kind of upsurge has further compressed the space of landlords and tenants. After all, in the past, they could still support them. For example, ordinary tenants could fill their stomachs, so naturally they had no other ideas, but look
When people who went to the same village entered the city, they earned twice or even three or four times the money they earned. Who would still be willing to continue to live in the countryside?
So, the tenants became interested, and the landlords had to keep increasing their investments. In order to retain the tenants, they tried their best to bring out more benefits until they could not bear the employment price. Although the food price also rose slightly, after all
, The profit of grain prices is still in the hands of merchants. Who are merchants? It would be good if they don’t eat your bones. What they pursue is always to buy low and sell high, to minimize the price of your grain, and then change hands.
Resell.
Therefore, although the grain prices have risen a lot, the profits of the grain prices sold by landlords are slightly higher.
Ruyifang has launched a timely sale of land. These lands have been purchased by Ruyifang for a long time. After the acquisition, a sewer was built, a canal was dug for sewage discharge, and a road was built nearby.
It has started a dock, and in Tianjin and Zhejiang, Ruyifang has purchased a large amount of such land at a low price for more than a year. After packaging, it has now been all on the sign.
"Cixi Shiyan Township, a piece of land, covering an area of 20 acres, nearby Liantong Road, connecting the dock three miles away, within a radius of several miles, there are wooden yards, textile workshops, and seven iron workshops, convenient transportation and trucks.
Go one place."
"A piece of land in Shiyan Township, Cixi, covers an area of 37 acres, Liantong Road, five miles to connect to the wharf, and there are seven workshops nearby, with convenient transportation..."
Keeping pace with the times and preparing for the future has always been the style of Ruyifang. Of course, the price of land purchased by these twenty or thirty taels of silver per mu is not low. Nowadays, sellers listed here are often as high as one hundred and ninety.
Two more silver patterns are definitely a huge profit among huge profits. Although many workers have found these lands to level, repair, and carry out some simple construction. Once they change hands, they will be ten times and twenty times the profit.
Even so, these lands have been robbed wildly. Everyone knows that there is a huge demand now. No matter what workshop is opened, the money will be spent, and since it will not lose money, then this transaction is obviously something to be done.
Compared with Tianjin and Zhejiang, the merchants in Ruyifang are all foreigners. After all, they are not very familiar with it. They asked them to go to Tianjin and buy land in Zhejiang. They not only have many concerns, but also have many troubles.
Ruyifang is the right time to see this. The land sold by Ruyifang often has a large number of workshops gathered. Buy the land from Ruyifang. If there is any problem in the future, at least there is a Ruyifang that can be made.
guarantee.
Besides, if you go to Zhejiang and Tianjin to buy land, you have to hire someone to level the ground, dig ditches, and may even have to bear the cost of building a road to the dock. If the address is too far away, you may not even recruit craftsmen and
Instead of delaying your work like this, it is better to buy the land directly, start building a workshop immediately, and directly carry out production.
Many times, what everyone buys is worry-free.
Thousands of land were almost immediately robbed, and even some of them were rich and bought dozens of them. Driven by demand, people often lose their minds, especially when they see the great profits of the workshop owners.
When making money, everyone else became jealous. Now it is obvious that they are doing business, and they have no production to make money.
The first batch of land also made Ruyifang make a big profit this time, with more than 1,000 pieces of land totaling 110,000 mu. Most of them are located in the suburbs of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Tianjin and other places, but at one time, they made a lot of money.
Tens of millions of silver, if you leave out the previous expenses, the net profit is as high as 15 million.
Xu Qian sat at home and received the news from Xu Fu. He just smiled slightly: "Very good, this is a good start. How much land you have accumulated on hand?"
Xu Fu said: "There are still 190,000 acres, which were purchased earlier as you told me."
Xu Qianhe nodded: "Save it all for the time being, so there is no need to rush to sell it. Doing business depends on the long term and seize the opportunity."
Xu Fu smiled and said, "This transaction is also a silver bill transaction for Ruyi Money Bank. It can be seen that the money of Ruyi Money Bank has gradually become popular."
Xu Qian just smiled slightly. In fact, the popularity of money was long as he expected. After all, with the prosperity of business, there were more and more transactions. A few years ago, a transaction of a thousand taels of silver was considered
Big deal, but now, the transaction amount has increased tenfold. You can still carry one thousand taels of silver with you, but what about ten thousand taels of silver? If you hire someone to take it, are you really at ease? After all, silver
I don’t feel at ease with this thing, especially in this era, so merchants have to choose to trade money. After all, it is better to exchange it for money and use it than to hand over the silver to others to transport it.
Credit is obviously much better than that of guys and long-term workers.
Once merchants have realized the convenience of money and have completely trusted Ruyi Money House, it is only a matter of time before the popularity of money is. I even heard that some places, even if the transaction of one or ten taels of silver has started money.
, This is a good start.
Speaking of this, Xu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This cabinet is counting on sending troops to deal with me, but never thought that it made someone Xu make a big deal. I am afraid that those merchants will also thank the officials in the court.
Well, these people have tasted the sweetness of making money in war, and in the future... I'm afraid..."
Xu Fu couldn't help but say, "My cousin means..."
Xu Qian shook his head: "It's not interesting, but in the future, my Ming Dynasty war will be much more than before. After flies taste the deliciousness of rotten eggs, they will try their best to find the next one.
Rotten eggs. Forget it, it’s meaningless to say that these things. Now the court wants food, and autumn is coming. It’s really time to prepare for the future. If the food is not enough, I’m afraid it will be a little better then."
