Yu Xin has experience in auctioning land on Dongfan Island, and this time he is familiar with it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this auction is the land of Annam, which is different from Dongfan Island, and it starts at 100,000 mu. Some people may want to say that they don't have enough money in hand to buy so much, but it's also easy, and they can bid for several jointly. I won't say much nonsense, but I just have a little reminder that after the land is auctioned this time, you can get the land deed granted by His Majesty personally, which is covered with the jade seal of the Son of Heaven, not the big seal of the household! With this land deed, even the government and the court cannot take away your land, in other words, this land will belong to you forever! ”

Yu Xin shouted hard, and the people below were already eager to try.

This time, not only are there more people, but the scale of each person's contribution is much larger than last time.

Although the sugar cane in Dongfan Island is highly profitable, there is a royal sugar company in the middle, and the land is also leased, in other words, it is subject to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court everywhere, and the sugar is sold casually, but it will be punished as a capital crime.

The situation in Annan is different, there are no middlemen, the land sold is yours, and more importantly, Annan is growing food.

The Ming Dynasty may lack other talents, but there will be no shortage of farming.

Moreover, the Ministry of Household has already issued a post introducing the situation in Annan.

The land there is fertile, with plenty of rain and heat, and it can be harvested three times a year, and the yield is amazing.

The biggest problem in Annan is that the farming technology is backward, there is a lack of agricultural tools and livestock, and the common people are very lazy...... None of this is a problem for Da Ming.

There is also a key factor, that is, the price of grain in the Ming Dynasty continues to rise, and many cities in the south of the Yangtze River are often short of food.

"Auction now...... Begin! ”

Yu Xin announced the first piece of land, 100,000 mu, with a starting price of 150,000 taels.

In the elegant seat, Zhu Di frowned when he heard it, this is too cheap, are the people in the household department all pig brains? Isn't the lesson from last time enough?

You have to make the reserve price higher!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this competition must be unprecedentedly fierce, just wait and see the funny!" Liu Chun is full of confidence, he has a detailed report in his hand, and look, this land competition is definitely a dragon and a tiger fight, because several major groups in the Ming Dynasty are all involved.

Sure enough, the first piece of land fell into a frantic scramble, and the first to offer the price was Su Shang, who could hear it by listening to the accent, and they suddenly increased the price to 200,000 taels.

At this moment, the Hui merchants and Jin merchants were in a hurry, and they also joined in and quickly raised the price to 270,000 taels.

At this moment, a northern man stood up and said loudly: "Such a good place, how can it not be less than 300,000 taels!" Well, I'll pay 330,000 taels! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone heard it, this is from Beiping, and he is really rich!

Zhu Di looked at Liu Chun in surprise, what's going on, it looks different from the last auction?

Liu Chun said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, the last auction started at 10,000 mu, and there was a royal sugar company in it, so many people didn't dare to start. This time, it is very clear that it is the merchant gangs from all over the world who have joined the team, and they not only have amazing personal wealth, but also team up to fight, and their financial resources are amazing! ”

Merchant Gang?

Zhu Di noticed it for the first time, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and in the rivers and lakes, there will be various sects, and the merchant gang is a group of people who rely on geography and wealth to gather.

In the past, it was the gentry group that dominated the Ming Dynasty, and the hub between them was land, and even some powerful businessmen had to be attached to the gentry group.

However, with the advancement of Juntian, the gentry group was almost swept away.

When the power of the gentry subsided. The industrial and commercial capital group has grown rapidly and become a formidable force.

At present, the first is the industrial group with Beiping as the core, they are the most powerful, followed by the maritime group in the southeast, and the Jin merchants and Hui merchants who control the salt are also not weak.

All showed an unusual passion for the land.

Merchants are not fools, and to snatch the land of Annam is to control the future grain, and if they can control the grain, they can control a country. Merchants want to upgrade, how can they miss the opportunity.

Therefore, this auction is called crazy!

The first piece of land was sold at a sky-high price of 420,000 taels!

Is the price high?

People who bought it don't think so.

In terms of the current land of the Ming Dynasty, one acre of farmland in the north costs 30 stone of rice, and the south costs 50 stone of rice. In addition, in many places, there is no market for land that has a price, and it is impossible to buy it if you want to.

The land in Annan is higher than the output of Jiangnan, and one mu of land is only more than 4 taels of silver, which is simply a big profit.

Even if you count the freight and hired labor, it is much cheaper than Daming.

Moreover, the amount of land produced in Annan is all owned by the landlord, and it can be taken out in full and used as a commodity, but it is not the tenant model of the Ming Dynasty, and only 30% of the land rent can be taken.

The higher the commercialization rate, the greater the profit.

Can a businessman still be confused about this?

Grab it!

Just when everyone was snatching it, a force that no one expected appeared.

That's the honor of the Ming Dynasty!

Whether it is the Huaixi nobles or the upstarts of Jingnan, they have all joined.

The whole auction hall is like crazy, the price is constantly pushing up, one after another sky-high prices appear, here the money is not money, casually, thousands, tens of thousands so much increase.

Zhu Di felt that his breathing was short, and his fists couldn't help but clench. He stood up and looked down, and at his feet were not big living people, but piles of gold and silver!

How much would it be if all their property were confiscated?

I'm afraid that the treasury and the treasury will be full in an instant.

As long as there is a will, really only a will, mobilize the forbidden army, surround these people, and I don't have to worry about money...... Zhu Di stretched his neck, and the appearance of the green tendons protruding happened to be seen by Liu Chun, and he was frightened.

Broken!

The old Zhu family's money-greedy gene has flare up again, this guy won't want to rob money, right?

If this is the case, it will be a big trouble, the entire rules of the game have been destroyed by Zhu Di, and he still never wants to play money games again.

Liu Chunxin raised his throat and stared at Zhu Di, Your Majesty, don't be stupid!

Xu is Liu Chun's prayer had an effect, and after a while, Zhu Di finally calmed down and slowly sat back in his seat.

Liu Chun let out a long sigh, thank God, he was not knocked down by money!

"Your Majesty, do you want to watch it?"

Zhu Di shook his head irritably, "Forget it, go back to the palace!" ”

Liu Chun couldn't wait to accompany Zhu Di back, he could be regarded as having gained experience, and in the future, this kind of thing should be less involved with Zhu Di, this is worthy of being a true dragon emperor, and it is easy to go crazy when he sees money.

These people who participated in the auction had no idea that their madness almost caused another person to go crazy and almost caused a catastrophe.

The whole auction is finally over, and the five million mu of land has brought Zhu Di an income of 20 million taels.

His Majesty the Emperor was completely satisfied.

That's enough money to fill your own little coffers.

"Go and call Zhang Fu."

It was half an hour before Zhang Fu hurried over, his clothes were showing traces of pulling, and his forehead was covered with sweat, looking embarrassed.

"Weichen knocks on Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty for the crime of dereliction."

Zhu Di was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter with you?" How embarrassed is it? ”

Zhang Fu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's all strange that the ministers went to see the auction conference and let them block it." ”

Zhu Di was curious, "Who are they?" What are they doing with you? ”

"This ...... Who it is, the minister will not say. They asked the ministers to guarantee the security of Annam, and said that they would drive out the original owners of the land and hand them over to them as soon as possible, and if it was convenient, they would also ask the ministers to build roads and dig canals, and if they could help them build their houses, it would be even better. ”

Zhu Di knew it as soon as he heard it.

The people who can talk to Zhang Fu are nothing more than those noble children.

Zhu Di calmed his face and roared: "You are my Pingyue Marquis, not their slave, don't be at their mercy!" ”

Zhang Fu nodded hurriedly, but he was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister feels that he is not at the mercy of them, the minister is...... I can't be put by money. ”

Zhu Di immediately raised his eyebrows, what do you mean? You've learned to collect money too?

Zhang Fu hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the ministers have done all these things, the roads have been repaired, the canals have been built, the bazaars, granaries, docks, houses, everything has been done...... The next auction of land, maybe you can sell it for six taels, eight taels, or even ten taels and one acres! ”

Zhang Fu's eyes lit up, "The land of Annam is at least 20 million mu, and there are Champa in the south, Siam, and Laos...... It's all good land! If this can be sold, how much will it be? ”

After an auction, Zhang Fu's head completely changed.

Liu Chun, who was listening next to him, suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to congratulate Your Majesty, the Marquis of Pingyue has already enlightened!" With such insight, it is enough to pacify Annan! ”

Zhu Di was happy in his heart, he believed in Zhang Fu's intelligence, but he was worried that this child was too pedantic and didn't dare to let go of some things. Now when he heard his words, Zhu Di was relieved.

"He is enlightened, but he is the one who understands you!" Zhu Di said viciously to Liu Chun, another child has been damaged by you.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu let him stand up for another class, otherwise how could Zhang Yu let you go?

"Zhang Fu, Annan needs to strike while the iron is hot, I'm afraid I can't keep you longer."

Zhang Fu also thought about it, "Your Majesty, the man's ambition is in all directions, and the minister can thank God and defend Annan, the minister is bound to do his best, and the minister will leave immediately." ”

"But ......" Zhang Fu paused, "Your Majesty, there are too many things to do for the ministers, and the talents that can be used are limited, I wonder if Your Majesty can reward a few people to the ministers?" ”

While he was talking, suddenly someone from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple came to ask to see him.

After they saw the salute, they bowed down together and said: "Your Majesty, after verification by the ministers, the scholar has solved the crime of the great evil, and he should be beheaded, and please ask Your Majesty to refuse!" ”

After listening to their words, Liu Chun and Zhu Di were stunned, what is going on? Aren't you all civil servants? Why can't you be merciful?
