Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 533, Songhu

Liu Jin explained in detail about the establishment of the colonial stronghold, and Tian Erniu and Zhao Houzi also knew what to do.

Going to the Golden Island this time is not just about precious metals such as the royal family and silver, but to prepare and lay the foundation for long-term immigration to the Golden Island in the future, and to prepare for the establishment of a fixed Golden Island route in the future.

"Sun Xin~"

After talking about the Golden Island, Liu Jin turned his attention to Sun Xin.

"Sir~"

Sun Xin hurriedly replied respectfully.

"This time, I will send you to the south, this place, Songhu~"

"You go to Songhu with ten million taels of silver and buy as much land as possible around the Huangpu River in Songhu."

Liu Jin opened the map of Daming, and then drew a circle at the location of Songhu, the mouth of the Yangtze River. Songhu is also the Shanghai of later generations. If you are a person of later generations, you should know the geographical location and important role of Shanghai.

As the estuary of the Yangtze River, and at the same time backed by the richest and most prosperous Jiangnan area, Shanghai will definitely be the economic center of China in later generations.

It is foreseeable that with the advent of ocean trade and the colonial era, the position of Songhu will become more and more prominent.

Now the port that Ming Dynasty has really opened is Tianjin, and more ports will definitely be opened in the future. There is Tianjin in the north, Songhu is indispensable in the south, and Guangzhou is indispensable in the south.

At this time in Ming Dynasty, the economic center has always been in the south. The tax revenue of the Ming court mainly comes from the Jiangnan area. Capitalism in the north is developing rapidly. Naturally, the Jiangnan area cannot be just looked at.

If Da Ming is to rapidly develop towards the Colonial Age and the Maritime Age, the south of Da Ming must be developed.

It's just that in the past, the stubborn forces in the Jiangnan area were too strong.

The main force opposing the sea ban came from the Jiangnan area, and the scholars in the Jiangnan area had an extremely powerful force in the Ming court.

They oppose the sea ban and want to monopolize the huge profits of ocean trade, which has led to the ports in the south that have not been opened yet.

However, as Emperor Hongzhi continued to attack these Jiangnan shilins, the voice of Jiangnan shilins in the court rapidly weakened, coupled with the rise of capitalism in the Beijing-Tianjin area and the huge profits of ocean trade.

These places in the south are also ready to move. Many officials in the Jiangnan area have written many times to develop the external ports of the Jiangnan area.

Whether it is the development needs of the Ming Dynasty's economy or the voices from the Jiangnan region, it will be a matter of time before the ports in the Jiangnan region will be opened.

And with the passage of time, gradually the entire port of Daming was gradually opened to the outside world.

With such an important position in Songhu, Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knows that once Songhu develops, every inch of land will be worth every penny.

But now, Songhu is a very backward place. It is just some fields, and no one realizes the importance of Songhu.

So Liu Jin is also preparing to start in advance. Like Tianjin at the beginning, he will buy land on a large scale first, and buy all the land on the Songhu side. Once the land is sold, you can make a lot of money and make a lot of money.

Of course, Liu Jin would never play at such a low level.

Liu Jin plans to replicate the Tianjin model in Songhu, buy land on a large scale, and then plan the entire Songhu, and plan everything in an orderly manner, so that the value and benefits can be maximized.

It can also better promote the development of Songhu and serve the development of southern capitalism.

"Songhu?"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao, Sun Xin, and Liu Jin couldn't help looking at the map at the same time, and looked at it carefully.

"What's so special about Songhu that it's worth Lao Liu's hand to let this Sun Xin bring tens of millions of taels of silver to buy land?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the map carefully and began to study Songhu.

"It's a good place. The estuary of the Yangtze River is backed by the most affluent Jiangnan area. It's just that if you invest tens of millions of taels, do you want to be the same as Tianjin?"

Zhu Houzhao quickly thought of something, and couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Old Liu is really a profiteer. He made the arrangements in advance. Tsk tsk, the person who sold the land in Songhu is probably going to cry to death in the future."

Zhu Houzhao thought of the miserable landlords in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

At the beginning, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao bought almost all the land in Tianjin and the capital, and it was very cheap when they bought it, especially in Tianjin.

The land near the sea is saline-alkali land, which is not worth much at all. When I bought it, a tael of silver could buy a lot of land.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao frantically bought almost all the land in Tianjin.

Now, with the rise of Tianjin New City, the development of Tianjin Port, and the rise of capitalism in Tianjin, the land prices in Tianjin have already skyrocketed.

The closer the land is to Tianjin Port and Tianjin New City, the more expensive it is. An mu of land has now risen to several hundred taels of silver, which is more than hundreds of times.

The key is that there is no place to buy land if there is money, because all the land has been bought by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao. Liu Jin has no intention of selling, but slowly planning and developing.

First build spacious cement roads, so that the whole area can lead in all directions, and then rent out, build commercial streets, build commercial streets, and build residential areas. In short, the planning is neat and orderly, so that the entire Tianjin New City can be completely compared with the traditional Daming city. Different.

These measures have further promoted the rise of land prices in Tianjin. Countless people want to buy the land here, but there is no way at all.

Most of the land here is leased out to you to run factories and workshops.

In order to attract the population and promote employment, Liu Jin's rent is very cheap. Anyway, it is to attract people first, and even here in the factory area, Liu Jin has specially asked people to build a large number of factories for rent.

Under this series of operations, the population of the entire Tianjin is increasing, and the population of Tianjin New City alone has exceeded [-] million.

Then Liu Jin continued to open real estate projects. The upper buildings were sold, and the lower shops were still held for rent. Now the rent received every year alone is more than the total money invested in the land purchase. .

As a shareholder, Zhu Houzhao knew all of this, so he immediately knew what bad things Liu Jin was going to do. It was nothing more than copying Tianjin in Songhu.

"It seems that we can send someone to Songhu to buy some land~"

Liu Jin's small eyes were also rolling around. He also made a lot of money by following Zhu Houzhao. As long as Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao invested in something, he would follow suit.

There is a commercial firm here in Tianjin that Liu Jin funded and established to make a fortune following Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao's buttocks.

Because he found that as long as he followed Liu Jin, the money would never end.

Don't look at him as just a little eunuch next to the prince, but his worth is quite high, and now he no longer accepts the silver bills from everyone.

That bit of money for filial piety is similar to sending a beggar. He has plenty of money. As long as he follows Liu Jin, he can earn money easily. Gap between teeth.

"Young master, go to Songhu to buy land?"

Sun Xin looked at Songhu's location and said with some doubts.

"Yes, the land on both sides of the Huangpu River has been bought. In the future, Songhu will become Tianjin in the south. And once the southern region develops, it is estimated that it will soon surpass the north. It may not take a few years. This Songhu It is hard to say that Shanghai can surpass Tianjin.”

Liu Jin nodded and said bluntly.

"Beyond Tianjin?"

"That's unlikely, is it?"

Sun Xin thought for a while and said with some doubts.

"Do not believe?"

"Then let's take a look."

"The economic center of our Ming Dynasty has always been in the south. The grain, cloth, silk, tea, salt, etc. produced in the entire Jiangnan region have always accounted for more than half of our Ming Dynasty."

"That is, in the past two years, the factories, workshops and sea trade in the north have developed, and they can barely be compared with the south. However, the foundation of the south is where the conditions are. Once it develops, the speed will be Very fast, with very high potential."

Liu Jin said very confidently.

In fact, as early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the economic center had been transferred to the south, and the population of the south also exceeded that of the north. Coupled with favorable natural conditions, the development speed of the south must be faster than that of the north.

"In the future, not only Songhu, but also Guangzhou at the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangdong, it also has great potential, the coastal areas near the sea, the rise of ocean trade, these places can also develop rapidly. "

"Of course, the area along the river, such as Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, is also the same. Both the sea and the river can develop rapidly."

Liu Jin pointed to the territory of Daming, circled some areas on it, and said very confidently.

Daming is a giant dragon. He used to shut himself up. Once he is released, he can shake the whole world. His natural conditions are really superior.

The territory is vast, the population is large, the natural conditions are superior, the coastline is very long, and there are rivers such as the Yangtze River and the Pearl River that can be transported by river.

In addition, it has the most industrious and intelligent nation in the world.

This destined it to always be one of the most powerful nations on this planet.

What Liu Jin has to do now is to completely release it, liberate it from the cage it was imprisoned in, and seize more territory and resources while the colonial era has just emerged.

　After careful comparison, the two best lands in the world, one is in North America and the other is here~
