Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1585 Wealthy world

  Some people are prophets and foresight, while others are hindsight.

   But soon... the exchange was overcrowded.

  Almost all big businessmen have unanimously put down everything at hand.

   Some appeared on the exchange, while some... appeared in the tooth shop.

  Wang Bushi is different from others. While others are running to the stock exchange, he quickly mobilizes all his strength and goes directly to Yahang.

  Even... Countless fast horses rushed to various prefectures and counties with Wang Bushi's instructions.

   The exchange is booming.

  Countless people are buzzing, but on the other side, in Jinan Mansion...

   This Jinan Prefecture is thousands of miles away from the capital.

   But if you are a fast horse, you can arrive in two days without sleep or rest.

Of course... the arrival in these two days will cost a lot of money, and a fast horse is needed, and there is no mercy for this expensive fast horse. It needs careful support at ordinary times. After running once, this horse is also It's almost useless, not only that, but also need to have a special knight to feed, need to have an excellent physique, eat meat every day, and train on horseback every day.

  Of course... Now such people and horses, many businesses are training.

   Everyone knows that time... is money.

  Jinan Mansion has already been affected by the capital, and there are many mourners.

  The first problem that occurred was the sharp drop in stock prices, which caused merchants to become cautious. The original merchants placed a large number of orders, and the purchase of a large amount of grain and many agricultural products in Jinan Prefecture came to a sudden stop.

In the past few years, due to the increase in business activities in the capital and the promotion of agricultural technology, Shandong has had a bumper harvest for many years. Millions of craftsmen in Beijing need to eat and drink, and the types of food have also become more abundant. To eat meat, one needs to drink alcohol. Meat needs grain to be fed, and wine also needs grain to be brewed.

  Therefore...in the Gyeonggi area, a large number of animal husbandry workshops, as well as a large number of wineries, purchase food everywhere, which makes the landlords everywhere earn a lot of money.

Seeing that it is profitable, many gentry have been frantically annexing land, which has caused a skyrocketing increase in land prices, but because they have great expectations for the future, they even do not hesitate to cost. If the money is not enough, they will borrow money from the Xishan Bank , and the initial investment in land also began to increase a lot. In order to increase production to meet the needs of the capital and Baoding chief envoy, they purchased a large number of cattle with loans, and purchased improved seeds and fertilizers.

  The huge cost is invested to ensure the harvest in drought and flood. After all, how much grain is grown and how much mulberry is produced, as long as it is placed on the market, there will be no market.

   This group of gentry almost scolded Fang Jifan in Beijing, but enjoyed huge economic benefits.

  But this year...it suddenly plummeted.

   All of a sudden, the merchants who originally came to purchase disappeared without a trace.

  Almost all the gentry's homes stockpiled mountains of grain.

  The gentry who thought...that they would definitely make a lot of money suddenly became impatient.

  In the past, as gentry, they were almost insulated from the market, and they were self-sufficient in their own land.

  With thousands of acres of land, they have their own small oil-extracting workshops, specialized people who grow mulberries for them, and specialized people who weave cloth. The food they grow by themselves is eaten by themselves, even if it is given to farm laborers, it is also distributed.

  The only economic activity is to buy some salt and sell a little oil squeezed by oneself.

But with the emergence of special oil-pressing workshops and special weaving workshops, when batches of high-quality and cheap commodities appeared in the market, even the gentry realized that self-sufficiency was not worth it, so they bought instead. As for the large-scale grain and raw silk produced by the family, they are sold out, so... it is profitable.

  And now... the hoarding of a large amount of raw silk and grain has almost destroyed the comfortable environment that all gentry depended on for survival.

  Produced so much grain and raw silk, I can't eat it up, and I can't use it up, so I hoard it and take up storage costs. If you save for one more day, you will lose money.

  The most important thing is that the large amount of money invested in the early stage is now in vain.

   Land values ​​start to plummet...

  The previous loan has to be repaid every day.

   Like a rope, strangled around their necks.

  It was only then that they realized...the death of Duke Qi...was not a happy thing.

  The abolition of stereotyped writing has already made them shattered, and they have been condemned endlessly.

   But if we say that the stereotype is abolished, it cuts off their way of progress.

  The huge shock caused by the market became the last straw to bend them.

  So this Jinan Prefecture is full of mourners.

  A large amount of land is directly hung on the tooth row.

  Keep the large amount of land listed in the tooth shop, even if the price has plummeted again and again, no one is interested in it.

   Some gentry have begun to lose their hold.

  Especially after the abolition of fame, the collection of taxes made them even worse.

  Therefore...they had to grit their teeth and continue to sell the land at a lower price in order to quickly withdraw funds and stop losses.

  The scary thing is... When the price dropped again and again, the land that had already risen to 50 taels of silver per mu, after plummeting to 78 taels, became even more uninterested.

  Just three days ago, a gentry in Changqing County, Jinan Prefecture, because of despair, or because of excessive borrowing before, caused bankruptcy and hanged himself.

  This old gentry, since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, has been a wealthy family in Jinan Prefecture, but because of the rapid annexation of land, it directly caused the rupture of the capital chain.

  As soon as the news came out, it undoubtedly made the gentry who had celebrated the death of Qi Guogong suddenly realize...their life and death are only today.

  These gentry who have read poetry and books, at this moment, actually began to cry and laugh.

   Of the thirteen dental clinics in Jinan Prefecture, almost all of them are empty.

   Even the land for sale is too lazy to hang up.

  But at this moment...Deng Jian came.

  Deng Jian was ordered to come to Jinan Prefecture.

  The land in Shandong... is both fertile and flat, it is simply fertile soil.

  Although Wang Bushi sent many people to all the states in the world, because of the time difference, what he valued most was Jinan, so he sent Deng Jian himself.

  On the street...a man wearing big sunglasses and a huge gold chain around his neck suddenly appeared.

   This kind of dress is indeed ostentatious, but it was not new in Jinan city more than a month ago.

   But now, it is a different kind.

  When Deng Jian appeared in Yaxing...

  The guys in the tooth shop seem to be too lazy to entertain.

  With his nostrils upturned, he asked him: "Is it possible that the guest officer is also here to sell land?"

  Deng Jian shook his head, his nostrils turned upside down, and he said arrogantly, "Grandpa, I am here to buy land."

  The next moment, the dental office fell into a suffocating silence.

Immediately afterwards... the clerk at the dental shop felt his legs go limp in an instant, as if at this moment, he, who had been orphaned since he was a child, saw his old father who had been dead for thirty-five years, and crawled out of the coffin. out.

   There was light in his eyes, and then... he actually felt that his eye circles were warm, and the corners of his eyes were moist, which showed the excitement in his heart at this moment.

   Immediately, he laughed.

   Laughter with tears.

  The guy said enthusiastically: "Grandpa...Please, please...Grandpa...Your journey seems to be busy, come...Please sit down, ah...Drink tea, drink tea..."

  Deng Jian said impatiently: "Stop rambling... How many lands are there here?"

   "This... this... this..." The guy was stunned. To be honest, he has never seen such a big taker.

  People come to sell land, you come to buy land?

   And with this tone, it seems that this person who has been taken advantage of is not so big!

   "I don't know how much land you want to buy."

  Deng Jian asked him tentatively, "How many people have died here?"

  Damn it...

  As if, a favorable arrow pierced my heart, this is an arrow of happiness.

  The man said: "This... this... I have carefully selected fertile fields here... Or, let me have a look at it for you first."

   "No." Deng Jian shook his head, and then said flatly: "As many lands as there are, I will take all of them, both good and bad."

  The guy was dumbfounded again, and he even began to suspect that Deng Jian was here to mess things up.

   "What?" Deng Jian was furious, and directly took out a stack of Daming banknotes from his sleeve, and shouted: "You still look down upon it, don't you?"

  Deng Jian's fiery temper couldn't be suppressed anymore.

   Is this dog looking down on people?

  Well, he slapped him with a raised hand.

Snapped…

   This slap was extremely crisp.

   Then Deng Jian roared: "Within a stick of incense, all the land will be sent to Lao Tzu. If you don't send it, I will break your dog legs!"

  The guy was beaten, not only was he not angry, but he seemed to be married to a wife, his whole body became energetic all of a sudden, and his face was full of smiles.

  Then, the whole toothbrush jumped up.

  Up and down, from the shopkeeper to a dozen of staff, from checking, to calculating, and finally the abacus beads were crackling, and then the seller was invited, and the written documents were signed, and the guarantor was asked in the Yamen.

  This dental practice is professional.

  Anyway, this month, Deng Jian is the only customer, and they only go up and down around him.

   It only took a few hours... Hundreds of thousands of acres of land changed hands directly.

  At the end, shopkeepers, shopkeepers, vendors, and guarantors lined up in a row, looking at Deng Jian with tears in their eyes, and sent Deng Jianhuan out of the dental office.

  People raised their hands and waved goodbye: "Go slowly, go slowly..."

  …

  The day...

  In an inn in Jinan Prefecture.

  Deng Jian took a break, and immediately, dozens of people gathered together to report the acquisition to Deng Jian.

   "Boss Deng, the villain has won 70,000 mu..."

   "The villain is here..."

  Deng Jian just nodded and listened attentively.

After everyone finished reporting, he stood up, with small eyes, and said with ambition and pride: "Tomorrow... we are going to go to the county, and you guys... are going to go to the various provinces in Shandong... I heard that there are also actions in Xishan. , if Xishan wants it, we don’t want it, we just follow behind and eat some soup, if anyone dares to steal my young master’s business, I will beat him to death.”

  Everyone was stunned.

  Master Deng, which side are you on?

  ...

  Recently, everyone has been scolding Tiger for slow updates.

  But this plot, the characters involved, and the types of plots are too many.

There are dozens of characters alone. In addition, it also involves the human heart and economy and other categories. Tiger dare not write quickly. Stuff, the story becomes imperfect.

   Please forgive me.

   Ask for a monthly pass.
