Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 570, buy Songhu

"Young master is amazing~"

"Now they're all begging me to come and buy their land."

Sun Xin drank tea very leisurely, and he really admired Liu Jin.

"Sun Guanshi, that Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu are asking for an interview outside, shouldn't we see them?"

Next to Sun Xin, the subordinates said with a smile.

"It's time to see them. The price is almost the same. It's impossible to drop any further. Then don't let other people come over and pick up ready-made ones."

Sun Xin thought about it and nodded, a few taels of silver per mu of land, almost enough.

Soon, Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu were led over.

"Mr. Xu, Master Zheng~"

Sun Xin greeted the two with a smile on his face, and immediately ordered them to bring good tea.

"Mr. Sun~"

The two of them also smiled on the surface, but now they can't laugh at all.

It can be seen from the expression of the whole person, both of them look very tired, with gloomy clouds on their heads.

After going from cloud to hell these days, it is impossible for anyone to have a good demeanor.

"You two are here today, what can you do?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Xin also asked with a smile.

"Mr. Sun, I wonder if you still buy land?"

Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and asked slowly.

When Sun Xin came to their house and wanted to buy land from them, they didn't show Sun Xin any good looks.

"I bought it, of course I bought it, but I have already bought a lot of land in Nanjing. I heard that the imperial court is going to open a port in Nanjing, so I decided to set up a factory in Nanjing in the future."

Sun Xin nodded with a smile and said, very decisively sprinkle salt on the wounds of the two of them.

"Mr. Sun, please don't hear rumors. How can the geographical location of Nanjing compare with our Songhu? Our Songhu is backed by the affluent Jiangnan area, and can radiate along the Yangtze River to the Huguang area. You can go to Tianjin, North Korea, and Japan. , you can go to Ryukyu, Fujian, Guangdong, and Nanyang."

"Nanjing has no way to compare with our Songhu. The imperial court will definitely not choose Nanjing, and I have heard that Liu Jin, the number one scholar, is very supportive of opening a port in Songhu, saying that our Songhu Although the foundation here in Shanghai is weak, the geographical advantage is too obvious."

When Xu Pu heard this, he also hurriedly said.

"Mr. Sun is from the north, so he must know the name of Mr. Liu Jin and Mr. Liu. He can't make mistakes in seeing things."

"Mr. Liu, of course I know, the son of Gao Ren, the number one scholar, and the God of Wealth."

Sun Xin nodded solemnly and said.

"Mr. Sun, this matter has not been settled yet. No one knows whether they will choose Nanjing or our Songhu, so why not buy some land from our Songhu, don't put these eggs in one basket. "

Zheng Liangzuo also said with a smile.

"There is some truth to what you say."

"To be honest, I am quite optimistic about Songhu. Even if it does not become an open port this time, but its geographical location is here, it will be able to develop sooner or later."

Sun Xin nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Sun is right. Our location in Songhu is very superior. As long as the sea trade continues to develop, our Songhu will become the second Tianjin sooner or later."

"To tell you the truth, we happen to have some spare land on hand. If Mr. Sun wants to buy land to set up a factory, we can sell it to you at a lower price."

Zheng Liangzuo said with a smile.

"That's good, we also bought some land here in Songhu. The location here is good, and it's a land of fish and rice. It's not comparable to us in the north."

"I don't know, how much silver do you want to buy per mu?"

Sun Xin nodded and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Sun, let's not talk about those nonsense in front of the true Buddha. Just follow what you said last time for eight taels of silver per mu of land. I will sell you as much as you want."

When Xu Pu and Zheng Liangzuo saw it, they were slightly excited, and after thinking about it, they also quoted a price.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zheng, you are not sincere enough. As far as I know, the land price in Songhu has dropped to three taels of silver per mu, and even if it is three taels of silver per mu, no one wants it." , you sell me eight taels of silver, do you think I am a fool?"

When Sun Xin heard this, he immediately laughed.

"This…"

The two of them felt slightly embarrassed immediately, not knowing how to answer.

"I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. According to the current market price, sell all your fields to me for two taels of silver per mu."

Sun Xin looked at the two of them and said very directly.

"Mr. Sun, this price is too low, really too low."

"The price on the market is also because everyone is forced to sell it so low. In the past, even when it was the cheapest, they had to sell five taels of silver per mu of land."

"Your two taels of silver per mu of land is one tael lower than the market price."

Zheng Liangzuo shook his head and said.

"It's up to you whether you want to buy it or not. Now there are not many people who can afford as much money in one go. That is to say, I am optimistic about Songhu, so I am willing to buy land with real money."

"The others have all gone to Nanjing now."

Sun Xin looked at the two of them and said very plainly.

"Mr. Sun, do you know how many fields we have in our hands?"

Xu Pu looked at Sun Xin, trying to connect in his mind, this Sun Xin was really bold, and wanted to buy all their fields in one go.

Although the two of them are embarrassingly forced by debts, the land they hold in their hands is genuine. The combined land of the two of them accounts for almost half of Songhu.

"I can eat as much as I want."

Sun Xin looked at Xu Pu and said very calmly.

Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Almost all the things that can be sold in the house have been sold, and there are only these unwanted fields left. The debt collectors have already lived in their house, and they will not leave without getting the money.

And if it drags on for a long time, if they still can't come up with money, then they will really be finished.

"Sell~"

"It's all sold to you."

Xu Pu gritted his teeth and said the same thing.

Selling the land for two taels of silver and one mu of land, they will lose money, blood loss, and even the family property passed down from their ancestors. However, they can still pay off all the debts. Such a family At least his life can be kept.

As Sun Xin said, there are very few people who can afford so much money to buy land. Now everyone is optimistic about Nanjing. These big families, big landlords, big gentry, and big businessmen in Jiangnan are all Turned to Nanjing to buy land.

No one would come to Songhu at all, and no one would take over their land even if the price was lowered. If you count on the mud legs here in Songhu, you will not be able to raise much money, not to mention the time will not allow it.

"I sold it too~"

When Zheng Liangzuo saw that Xu Pu had also sold, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and sold all of them. The life of the family is at stake, and the most important thing is to hurry up and pay back the usury and so on.

"Good~"

When Sun Xin heard this, he immediately laughed.

The two of them have the most land here in Songhu, and if they sell it, the others will soon sell it to themselves.

Two taels of silver per mu of land, this price is much higher than when Liu Jin bought Tianjin land at the price of cabbage.

Of course, this is not comparable. The fields here in Songhu are all paddy fields, and this place belongs to the south of the Yangtze River. Tianjin is not comparable.

Two taels of silver per mu of land, that is already a great bargain.

The key is that people like Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu gathered all these lands together, saving them the trouble of buying them every family.

Buying a large area of ​​land is also convenient for the planning of Songhu here in the future, and it will not affect Liu Jin's planning and construction of Songhu just because this piece of land is owned by a certain individual and who owns that piece of land.

Soon, Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu brought boxes of land deeds, and Sun Xin brought boxes of banknotes from the First Bank of Ming Dynasty to the county office of Songhu County. Witnessed by everyone, The two parties traded fairly, without any deceit, and completed this huge land transaction by paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand.

The fields in the hands of the two are the best fields in Songhu, and they are all fields on both sides of the Huangpu River. The amount is as large as [-] hectares, which is more than two million mu of land, and Sun Xin spent more than four million taels of silver. .

With Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu at the beginning, other landlords, gentry, and big families here in Songhu also began to find Sun Xin one after another, and sold all the land in their hands to Sun Xin at the price of two taels of silver per mu of land.

There is no way, everyone knows that Sun Xin has taken advantage of it, and they all see the superior geographical location of Songhu.

But now, except for Sun Xin who is willing to take over and can take out the million taels of silver at once, no one can eat the fields in their hands at once.

However, because of their greed, they borrowed money one after another and ate a lot of land when they were in high positions. In order to repay these debts, they all sold their underwear.

The news quickly spread to the capital.

"I bought it in Songhu. It's really cheap. Two taels of silver per mu of land is the price of cabbage among the prices of cabbage."

After receiving the letter from Sun Xin, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing happily.

Opening the map and looking at the location of Songhu, Liu Jin couldn't help drooling.

Songhu, the Shanghai of later generations, a place where every inch of land is expensive, is now actually taken down for two taels of silver per mu of land, and the entire Songhu was bought by Liu Jin.

"Tsk tsk, there's no need to do anything else in the future, just renting out the land here in Songhu is enough for future generations to eat."

Looking at the location of Songhu, Liu Jin thought of the sky-high housing prices in Shanghai in later generations, and he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

This deal is definitely a big profit.

"Well, Songhu has been bought, and the next step is to find a way to develop Songhu. Shipyards, cement factories, textile factories, and ports must be built first..."

　Ladies and gentlemen, think about what it would be like to have a few hundred acres of land in Shanghai~
