Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1030
When Wang Tong came to Songjiang, Songjiang might prosper if it opened a port. Everyone who had seen the miracle of Tianjin Wei had this premonition. The development of the situation was similar to their judgment. When captives were used for port construction in Songjiang, everyone felt that it was reliable.

Sha Dacheng was the first to eat crabs, and the others were not slow to respond. After the simple construction of the port in Shanghai County and the completion of the trestle bridge, enthusiasm suddenly rose.

There are several good natural harbors in Linjiang and Linhai in Shanghai County. Now that the corresponding measures are built, ships with larger tonnage can berthed immediately, and loading and unloading can be carried out more conveniently. At the same time, the renovation of the river Along with widening, road maintenance is in progress.

The roads are smooth, it is more convenient for merchants to come and go, and it is more convenient to transport goods. Even if Songjiang Prefecture does not have goods from the sea, it has the largest cotton production in the world, and the counties are extremely rich. Go big when you do business.

Businessmen came from Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Nanjing, and even Yangzhou in Jiangbei, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, and Huzhou in Zhejiang.

Every year after July and August in Songjiang, it is the peak season for cotton cloth buying and selling. On the one hand, everyone comes to do business, and on the other hand, to see what can be participated in the opening of Songjiang port.

Jiangnan wealthy merchants are rich for generations. They have a set of means to make a fortune, and their knowledge is extensive. Although they have heard about Tianjin Wei over the years, after all, they have a world. It is one thing to pay attention to and care about, and another thing to participate in.

Tianjin Wei is mainly centered on Tianjin Wei, using sea routes, canals and land routes as a network, connecting Liaozhen, Jingshi and Beizhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and colonial points and tribes outside the Great Wall, communicating trade and increasing wealth. This line actually has nothing to do with Jiangnan.

And because of the clear price tag on the Tianjin Guard Tax Card, most of the goods from Jiangnan along the north side of the canal were actually boycotted, and the goods coming from the sea were the business of those sea owners. There were not many participants, and just hearing all kinds of rumors would naturally not make them willing to spend money.

After arriving in Songjiang, the price of cotton cloth has risen by more than [-]%. The reason is very simple. There are more people buying. The big ships coming from the north always bring cotton and silk back. These things are profitable but not huge profits. The advantage is that they come and go often, it is a long-term business, and the low sea freight increases the profit even more. Everyone is focused on this point. If they eat more, others will naturally eat less.

The price of the search and purchase was thus raised. If you accept last year's price, then I will sell it to a merchant from the north, and the other party will also give you cash. Is your silver valuable?

A good business was disturbed by the opening of the Songjiang port for no reason. Everyone was annoyed, but the current situation forced them to not make preparations. For example, they came here during the peak season for cotton cloth purchases, so they considered opening a branch in Songjiang Prefecture. Numbers and the like, stay here permanently, and buy them in the off-season.

The opening of the port is said to make everyone rich, but Shanghai County is not right. The Duke of Liao also set some rules for the Ping An brand, and handed over an extra amount of money out of thin air.

The merchants in various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River discussed it, thinking that it was Wang Tong who wanted to make money. If such a nobleman is here, everyone should respect him. How about sending a generous gift to your Duke of Liao, so that the Duke of Liao can still remember everyone’s kindness? , Why bother to use the silver for public use? It makes sense to think about it, but the gift of silver was thrown out when it was delivered to the door of the Duke of Liao.

The guard guarding the gate didn't even go inside to report, and just scolded:

"The Duke cares about your little money, and everything must be done according to the rules!"

It is said that the Liao Kingdom is fair and honest, and the businessmen from all over the south of the Yangtze River do not believe it. Otherwise, how could there be so many ways to make money? They are connected by thin ropes, and the land is circled into a grid. It is said that this is where the shops, warehouses, goods yards and residences will be located in the future. How many years the power is leased.

This is really absurd. This is selling cakes for money. There are grass growing in those places, and some don’t even have grass. Why do you ask for money in real money? No wonder Wang Tong doesn’t want everyone’s gifts. It turns out that the place to make money is here .

It's just that he thought everyone was too stupid. This is a voluntary business. How could the big guy be fooled by this? Throw in the cash and silver, as if there are some treasures buried in the ground.

Not to mention, some wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River really sent people to dig and explore secretly. Naturally, nothing was dug up. Then the current situation can only be considered as a setup. This Duke of Liao was born as a warrior. He doesn't pay any attention to shame when he does things, he doesn't want gifts, and he actually wants to set up a scheme to scrape everyone's money.

Everyone sneered, but some well-informed people found out that it was really a box of real gold and silver going to the general office. It wasn't the kind of Dong Zhuo who entered Luoyang that everyone suspected. Merchants kept coming over by land and sea, investing a lot of money, and Wang Tong's own Sanjiang Trading Company also encircled a large area of ​​land.

Others can deceive people, real money can't deceive people, and Wang Tong will not deceive himself. The businessmen from the north have all seen Wang Tong's methods. Isn't this a scam.

There are also a lot of wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River. Some people simply bought one or two pieces of land, which is not bad for this amount of money. The salt merchants from Yangzhou are unambiguous. They have a lot of money and don’t care. They invested in it, and they built a village near Shanghai County. They are rich and idle, and they also like to watch the scene. The opening of Songjiang port is a new thing that has never been seen in Ming Dynasty. You can definitely see many new scenes here. vision.

I regret that the medicine was not sold, and if I can't catch up for a while, it will become very troublesome to remedy it afterwards. But at this time, the merchants in the north are spending a lot of money, and the merchants in the south are watching.

However, the big merchants who deal in silk and grain in the south of the Yangtze River have already tasted the sweetness. The merchants from the north buy silk in large quantities. In Taiping, many merchants have saved a lot of silk, and the shipping cost of water transport is also high. Now this is a matter of convenience. These silk merchants have bought shops and warehouses in Songjiang Prefecture one after another, and plan to reduce the share of water transport in the coming year. , all transported to Songjiang, how convenient it is.

Songjiang Prefecture has a large number of captive laborers, not to mention that there are also many merchants and related personnel used everywhere, not to mention that after the infrastructure is completed next year, the population will increase greatly, which will consume a lot of food , Plan ahead, I did it when I was in Tianjin Wei.

In Tianjin Wei, in addition to squeezing out part of the grain, it also depends on the grain from the south brought in from the sea, and builds a large number of farms in the north of Zhili. There are not so many problems in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan is the grain of the world. In the main production area, the grain produced is collected by water every year and then transported to the north. In addition to grain grain, there are also many grain merchants who transport it to the north for sale. Now Songjiang Prefecture buys it and provides it with ease.

What makes the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River even more gratifying is that Songjiang Prefecture collects various taxes and taxes on other merchants, but it has various preferential treatment for grain merchants, such as helping with the construction of warehouses, and reducing or exempting Ping An silver, etc. For the benefits, they are naturally willing to transport the food here.

Before Wang Tong arrived in Songjiang, the opening of the port did not make any progress. After Wang Tong came to Songjiang, it was a fast pace. The rich and wealthy businessmen in Tianjin Wei knew that following Wang Tong would have a chance to make a fortune, but after Wang Tong made great achievements Suddenly going to Songjiang, they didn't know the bottom line, so they kept waiting and watching.

When Cai Nan, Li Hutou and others returned to their teachers, the imperial court rewarded them generously, and there was news that they were about to use them, everyone let go of their minds.

If the imperial court really wants to do something about Wang Tong, it will not allow the Huwei Army system that is close to Wang Tong to continue to exist, and it will have to be used extensively. This is actually an attitude, and it is also a compliment to Wang Tong on the side.

With this, then Wang Tong's deeds in Songjiang are equivalent to having an endorsement, so there is no need to worry about dying halfway, so what are you waiting for, Wang Tong and Liao Guogong have a bit of a way to turn stone into gold.If you go late, you won't be able to make a fortune.

A large number of businessmen rushed to Songjiang Mansion. Fortunately, Sanjiang Shipping Company now also has fast boats from Tianjinwei to Jiangnan, and some people go directly by land without taking too much goods, and rush all the way.

When these people came, they brought a large amount of silver and experienced business people. Everything in Songjiang Mansion was still new, and there was not much they could do, but they quickly went to other places in the south of the Yangtze River. , See if there are any sources of goods and business opportunities. These people have enriched the construction funds of Songjiang Mansion, and also made the business prospects of Songjiang's port opening suddenly clear. Jiangnan merchants are also tempted.

What really made the situation hot was the joining of those honorable and wealthy families in the capital. They came earlier and withdrew, and now they returned with money. They are also tempted. The nobles in Nanjing City are the vane of Jiangnan's business, because everyone knows that investing with these people will at least not lose money.

The weather is getting colder day by day, but Songjiang Mansion is getting hotter day by day
