I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350, capital from germination to flowering

The profit of the crushed soybean oil industry is very high, basically more than 5% of the profit. However, due to the lack of food in the Fujia Army, it is necessary to ensure the cultivation of staple food. Soybeans cannot be planted in large quantities in the territory of the Fujia Army. Instead, they have grown less and less in recent years.Zhen An and the others watched a lot of money pass by them but couldn't withdraw it, of course it was a pity.

But now if Xu Wei releases Liaodong's restrictions on planting soybean oil, even if they buy these soybeans with 300 yuan, they can make a lot of money by pressing the oil. In this way, even if the interest is only [-]%, they will not be at a disadvantage!After all, the profit of soybean oil is too high!
And Xu Wei's use of goods to pay interest in this way reminded Zhen An that making money with money these days can't make money, but making money with goods can make a lot of money!
So he immediately asked: "In power, there are towering giant trees everywhere in Liaodong, and now there are shipyards everywhere in Youzhou, and there is a shortage of wood everywhere. A 10-foot-long giant tree has already risen to 5000 yuan, even if it is three feet long. It costs thousands of dollars! And trees that are three or ten feet long can be seen everywhere in Liaodong, besides soybeans, can Liaodong development bonds also be paid for with wood?"

Xu Wei asked indifferently: "You also opened a shipyard?"

Zhen An said helplessly: "In recent years, there are more and more textile factories, and they are less and less profitable. The old man will naturally open a new factory. This is just like the government said that this is to diversify investment. Even if the old textile factory loses money , but as long as the shipyard makes money, the old man's family business can still be kept! In fact, the old man wants to buy some fields, which is more secure!"

What the Tengjia Army implements is the system of land to the tiller, and those who do not till the land have no land!
No matter how much money big businessmen like Zhen An make, they can't buy a penny of land.It's not that he didn't think about getting some land, because the Tengjia Army implements a policy of 30 mu of land for each household. As long as they apply, each family can get 30 mu of land, but because they don't farm by themselves, Zhen An The land was confiscated by the Tengjia Army, and a fine of [-] yuan was also imposed!

After this incident, Zhen An died of his desire to be a big landlord, and the merchants of the Tengjia Army also died of the idea of ​​using the money he earned to buy land!
Big businessmen like Zhen An can only continue to invest in industry and commerce after making money. This is why the industry and commerce in the three prefectures of Hebei are so prosperous, because the value-added wealth is not lost to the land, but is all invested in industry and commerce. Allow nascent industries to grow rapidly.

This can be regarded as Xu Wei's wrong attack. In history, there were two times when capitalism sprouted in China, but it was just this one kick that couldn't be kicked away. It only sprouted and did not bear fruit.

In the history books, it is strange that there are barbarians, but in fact it is the same without barbarians. These businessmen make money from industry and commerce, but do not invest in industry and commerce. Funds were used to cultivate them, and the self-cultivators with land were turned into refugees by them, and the market was wiped out by these businessmen themselves. Without funds, the market began to decline again. How did this sprout bear fruit?
In Xu Wei's view, no matter how it sprouts, the final result is doomed. The merchants annexed the land, causing chaos in the world, and refugees everywhere. Step into the cycle of feudal times!

And everyone knows the consequences of doing so. China's productivity has reached its peak, but it's too late to enter the door. Thousands of years were wasted in vain. The Westerners seized the opportunity to enter the industrialized age, and then they were beaten badly and struggled to catch up. , even if Xu Wei did not catch up when he crossed.

Zhen An and the others, the first generation of capitalists, have not yet changed their minds. Even if the industry and commerce make more money, they still feel that farming is not stable!There is no field in the family, and I always feel that there is no root.

Xu Wei's restrictive policy forced them to invest funds in industry and commerce, so that a positive cycle industry would sprout and bear fruit.

Zhen An and the others have made hundreds of millions of net worth through industry and commerce, but they still have a soft spot for land!

Xu Wei could only take the opportunity to beat and said: "If a big businessman like you wants to use his family property to buy land, he may be able to buy hundreds of thousands of acres, but if this is the case, tens of thousands of families will lose their land, and the whole If the big businessmen of the Tengjia Army are like you, then hundreds of thousands or even millions of families will lose their land, and the ordinary people will not be able to survive, what will happen, just look at the fate of Jizhou!

The Zhen family of the big man used to be the richest man in Jizhou, but now they can only flee to Jingzhou in desperation.You have to know that the great chaos in the world is not only a disaster for the common people, but also an extremely huge disaster for you rich and powerful people. Counting from the Yellow Turban Uprising, at least half of the clans of the big men have been wiped out. There is no one in ten! "

Zhen An nodded emotionally and said, "Troubled times are indeed not good to anyone!"

Especially for merchants like them, their lives are even more difficult to protect. Dong Zhuo's warning order almost wiped out the merchants in the entire Central Plains, and the court robbed them openly and aboveboard.

Although Lei Gong is rebellious, he treats businessmen like them much better than big men. He was originally the steward of the Zhen family. Now the big Han Zhen's family wants to please him and maintain the caravan in the territory of the Tengjia Army!
And without the help of Lei Gong, it is absolutely impossible for him to manage such a large family business alone. In this way, Lei Gong is his benefactor.

Xu Wei didn't know Zhen An's inner thoughts and continued: "In fact, farming is not as profitable as opening a factory, and it is also easily affected by the climate. Dahan has never stopped natural disasters in recent years. There will be disasters in five years out of ten years, but factories will be affected by it." It is difficult to be affected by natural disasters, and it is more secure to open a factory than to farm, and you businessmen should also change your mind and regard the factory as the foundation of your family's business!"

Zhen An could feel Xu Wei's firmness in the agricultural policy of the Tengjia Army, and he would not change the policy of land to the tiller!He could only secretly make up his mind that he would never do anything about the farmland again.

The money he has accumulated over the years is basically that he will invest in whichever industry the Fujiko Army makes money, and now the most profitable industry for the Fujiko Army is the shipbuilding industry!

So Zhen An immediately thought of the boundless forests in Liaodong. To use these huge logs to pay off the bonds, the logs alone were enough for them to earn several percent of the interest. He even doubled the profit by building the logs into sea ships.

Xu Wei originally wanted them to invest in Liaodong. As a person from the Celestial Dynasty, he certainly knew how to attract investment, so he said: "The goods produced in Liaodong can be used to offset the Liaodong development bonds in your hands, but I suggest that you bring the shipbuilding It is best for craftsmen to go to Liaodong to open a shipyard, because it is the closest to the wood, and the price can be several times lower without going through sea transportation, and you can even organize workers to cut down trees yourself. You can even save money on buying wood!"

Zhen An's eyes lit up. This is a good way. The price of wood is too high, which has already started to reduce the profit of their shipyard. If they go to Liaodong, the wood will not be felled casually, and the profit will not increase in a straight line!

In this way, Liaodong County is the most ideal place to build a shipyard.

After Zhen An came out, a large group of businessmen surrounded him and asked, "What does the old man in power say? What exactly is the Liaodong Development Bond?"

Zhen An said calmly: "This is not a place to talk!"

Then this group of people booked a big inn!Zhen An looked at the anxious businessmen and said, "In order to develop Liaodong County, the ruling party issued 30 billion Liaodong development bonds with an annual interest of one cent!"

"It's too low, it's not worth it!" Hearing this, many people were frustrated. They were used to the double or double profit of usury loans. In their opinion, a penny of profit was almost equivalent to no profit.

But Zhen An said unhurriedly: "This bond can be paid off with the products of Liaodong. The governor said that the newly developed land in Liaodong does not restrict the production of soybeans, so this bond can be used to buy soybeans produced in Liaodong. There is also wood from Liaodong. I think everyone has a caravan to go to Liaodong. The rare and unusual century-old materials here are everywhere in Liaodong. As long as these woods are transported to Guangyang County, the price can be doubled! In the future, these Liaodong The goods can only be purchased with Liaodong bonds, even if we change hands, we can double the profit."

"That's why, although the interest on Liaodong's development bonds is low, if we use Liaodong's products to offset the bonds, then we can at least earn more than [-]%!"

Xian Yuying said: "If there is wood, I can buy 1 million yuan. Because of the lack of wood, my shipyard has already pushed forward several deals."

"Liaodong is rich in products, so don't worry about these bonds being wasted, and the investment in governance is so large. The development of Liaodong bonds is promising. I will buy 3000 million yuan!"

After discussing for a while, these businessmen all felt that Liaodong Development Bonds was a profitable business, so when Xu Wei shipped out the bonds and put them on sale at money shops, each of these businessmen gave you 1 million, and I 000 , 2 million to buy Liaodong Development Bonds.

This even aroused the enthusiasm of the people in Jixian County. These big businessmen actually used horse-drawn carts to buy Liaodong bonds, and the money-carriages even blocked the city gate. , Obviously a good thing, I heard that there is one cent interest a year, which is much more cost-effective than saving money in money shops, so hundreds of thousands of people in Ji County also bought more than 2 million Liaodong development bonds in pieces!

With the money, Xu Wei began to place orders, custom-made Quyuan plows, eight-ox plows, sickles, hoes and other tools at the Mayi Iron and Steel Factory, ordered 10 pieces of woolen cloth at the textile factory, and made orders for tribes in the grassland. After that, [-] nauseous horses and [-] farm cattle were transported by Hu merchants from the grassland to Liaodong, and finally settled in Jixian County.
