Chapter 104: Spoiler
One dollar per hectare. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fat rich businessman, the seventh master and Li Xiangjun were all quickly thinking about whether this price was worth it.
Objectively speaking, this price is obviously generous. Although the unit is not a tael of silver, but a yuan, everyone knows that this is actually the same as a tael of silver. Yuan is the unit of currency after the restoration of treasure banknotes. One dollar, in the beginning was a silver dollar. Later, in order to strengthen the credit of the silver dollar, the original unit used in the treasure banknote was abolished and changed to yuan.
One silver dollar is one tael of silver with a market value, and to be fair, one tael of silver and one hectare of land is really a very low price.
You know, one hectare of land is fifteen acres.
In these years, when prices soared, every stone of rice rose to four taels of silver. And one acre of land, the national average output is three hundred catties, that is, two and a half stones.
Although Liaodong is a bitter cold place outside the Guan, anyone who has been to Liaoxi knows that it is a fertile land. The roe deer scooped the fish, and the pheasant flew into the rice pot. The fertile black soil was not only the eldest son of the later republic, but also an important granary.
In this era, Liaodong was able to reproduce millions of Liao people, and it was naturally a superior agricultural area. Although the land of Liaodong is not as fertile as the fields in the south of the Yangtze River, it can also be compared to most of the fertile fields in North China.
What's more, Liaodong also has all kinds of high-quality land such as good water for watering. Compared with the land south of the Yangtze River, the price of one acre of land is more than ten taels of silver, but here in Liaodong, it is one tael of silver and fifteen acres, isn't it a difference of one hundred and fifty times?
Whether it's positive, negative, or sideways, this starting price can be regarded as completely fair.
It's just that......
In the auction hall, a strange voice suddenly appeared, sneered, and said, "With such a cheap land, I'm really afraid that it won't be sold." ”
Everyone looked sideways, and some of them recognized that this was a maritime merchant from Fujian, named Wei Cang.
Wei Cang had a hooked nose, little flesh on his face, he looked a little mean, his complexion was dark, and he had a faint smell of sea, which was very different from many of the businessmen present.
Businessmen who make a living in the mainland are often smiling and making money in a friendly manner.
But Wei Cang's eyes looked at each other, as if they had touched a short dagger. Everyone felt Wei Cang's temperament, and they actually felt like a bandit more than a rich businessman.
Although everyone thought so in their hearts, no one dared to say so. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the sea ban was reopened, and maritime trade became more prosperous. All the big businesses in China who are the number one people have basically stretched out their feet.
And this Wei Cang has a lot to do with this.
Because, Wei Cang is from Fujian, that is, Quanzhou Mansion.
In recent years, the business has become bigger, and there is no one who is not without a background. Most people are looking for a court official, but apparently some of them are different. For example, this Wei Cang is the latter.
Because, Wei Cang is actually just an agent. Behind him is Zheng Zhilong, who is famous in the South Seas. Although Zheng Zhilong also has the title of a naval general, those who know it know that these people are like overlords at sea and are actually independent of the imperial court.
"This brother Tai, it seems that he is not optimistic about this land in Liaodong?" When the seventh master heard this, he turned around, and he happened to be on the card position next to Wei Cang.
There was a slight silence in the room.
On the stage, many people from Hengxin Auction House looked at Tian Yingqi. Everyone can see that this Wei Cang is here to smash the field.
But Tian Yingqi only smiled lightly, and let the discussion ferment in the audience.
As soon as everyone heard the seventh master's question, they all quieted down, so that they could listen to the discussion between the two.
"How can you be optimistic? The big guys are all old people in business, and it's not that they are poor and crazy with so many coppers left, so they naturally have to be sober. I, Wei Cang, have been running around for decades, and I have never seen good goods scrambled by everyone, but I have never seen such cheap and good goods. really met a person who dared to play a high-quality and low-cost brand, either the owner didn't have a brain, or he brought a black-hearted nest, waiting for us to jump into the pit! Wei Cang said leisurely,
"The words are not rough, and the reason is not rough......" The seventh master silently gave an evaluation in his heart, and he also thought about it.
Indeed, there are few things in this world that can be taken advantage of. If you really feel that it is cheap and easy to take advantage of, there are often all kinds of traps hidden.
Don't say anything about the simple customs of the people these years, seeing the money and opening their eyes, it is normal people to think crookedly. After all, most people are too poor in this day and age.
After thinking about it, everyone seemed to start thinking about the land of Liaodong again.
On the other side, the fat and wealthy businessman was slightly unconvinced, and said, "Who wouldn't say anything like that?" Wei Cang, others are afraid of you, but I, Song Er, am not afraid of you. ”
"The prestige and protection of the second brother Cao Gang, of course, is not afraid of me. However, second brother, you will be able to use your own money in this Hengxin auction house, not the public's money, but your own money, right? Since it's your own, listen to my advice. Wei Cang said in a strange tone: "Don't suffer a loss at that time, only to remember, there is still this one way." ”
"Hmph, if you want to be really kind, it's better to just say something real." The obese wealthy businessman who claimed to be Song Er snorted coldly, and his words eased the points.
"The shopkeeper Tian said a thousand good things before the meeting, and everything went smoothly. The propaganda paper sent is also laborious, praising left and right, and it can be seen that people's blood is open...... Hmph, but even if the land of Liaodong is really good, but give me Wei Cang a word, no matter how good this Liaodong is, it is just a virtual thing that is meaningful under the order of the imperial court. Wei Cang paused and laughed.
When Song Er and Seventh Master heard this, their eyelids jumped, and the corners of their mouths twitched, and they all felt that this Wei Cang's words were really yin and yang. It's a good thing, what kind of blood is there, are they visiting the Qinglou?
Wei Cang's unreliability soon stopped, only to hear him suddenly whisper: "You might as well think about it, the court has boasted about it over the years, isn't it?" When the war is not going well, it will be difficult to keep Liaoxi...... Of course, the future is uncertain. Can...... I'll just say it's accurate. Although Liaodong is a lost land. Even if most of the people of Liaodong have died under the butcher's knife of the Tartars, it is undeniable that there are indeed many remnants of Liaodong. At present, the official army raised troops to recover, but suddenly sold the land in Liaodong. Everyone said, what do you want these Liaodong remnants to say? What do those Taoist gentlemen think? ”
Everyone looked at each other and remembered this stubble.
When the seventh master heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "That's what it means, let's put it another way, our goods were forced by the bandits, and the officials and soldiers rushed over to kill the bandits, but instead took the goods for themselves, what kind of truth is this?" Black eats black? ”
"So, this land was bought, not to mention what to do if there are still people on top. It's those bitter masters who want to make trouble with confidence, do you think, this trouble is so simple and can be eliminated? Even if the imperial court is upright, but the big guy has traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, that is, he is alone in a foreign land as a stranger. The host and guest shifted, and with a body of silver, in the place where there was no king's law after the war in Liaodong, he met those Han people who had not been killed and the land was taken away...... Hmph......" Wei Cang snorted lightly, and suddenly felt that he was bright.
In any case, it is indeed not so appropriate for the imperial court to do this.
There was a slight silence in the room.
The big guys listened to Wei Cang's words, and they all fell into deep thought.
The original enthusiasm has retreated.
Indeed, there are still many arguments to buy land in Liaodong.
The first concern is whether the recovery of the army will go smoothly, and I will not mention it if it is rotten.
Even if you wait for the army to recover Liaodong, the fields auctioned by the big guy are also accounted for, but the follow-up troubles seem to be far from being as simple as originally thought.
Considering the hidden danger of the ruined Liaodong after the war, these wealthy businessmen were a little afraid in their hearts.
Of course, there are also a few who are not afraid of death, their eyes flickering, guessing how big the risk is.
But in any case, everyone's desire to buy was suppressed by Wei Cang.
Although there are a lot of things going on here, they are actually just a matter of time. Tian Yingqi has just finished introducing the land in Liaoyang on the stage, and is about to start the first auction.
Everyone was worried and incomprehensible about Tian Yingqi's indifference to the negative comments in the audience.
Wu Qiao'er was even more sad in her heart, and said in her heart: Last time, there were also a few merchants who smashed the field in Shanxi, and that time, there were still a few officers who came to help. But this time, who can help? In any case, people still have to be self-reliant. When you encounter this kind of bad seed, you have to teach it back. It's just that I don't understand, why is my godmother so silent and indulgent?
In the Tianzi auction hall, the atmosphere fell silent awkwardly.
As if he hadn't heard Wei Cang's words, Tian Yingqi took care of himself and finished introducing the first batch of excellent watering along the river in Liaoyang. Obviously, this kind of land can't be found even in Jiangnan. It is the easiest to get off to a good start.
However, after Tian Yingqi introduced, he did not wait for the eager inquiry that should be in the plan, or the nervousness of being eager to auction.
Everyone was very calm, and it could even be described as indifferent.
This is undoubtedly an atmosphere that merchants will not like.
Wei Cang sat under the stage, lying comfortably on the seat, touching the fabric under him, and smiled at a young man beside him: "Da Mu, don't say anything else, in Jingshi, this life is first-class." Look at this long collapse, how do you make it so soft? It makes people lie in it and don't even think about it. ”
As he spoke, Wei Cang's body slowly slid down, looking like Ge You lying in later generations, looking quite comfortable. He looked at the calm in the field, and he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment, and the smile on his face was slightly more proud.
His task of disrupting the situation this time was completed more smoothly than expected.
The man who was called Oki was a young man in his twenties. Oki is not his name, but a table character.
Not only that, but the origin of this table is still very extraordinary. Because, this is a famous person in Jiangnan, a famous Confucian in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Qian Qianyi gave it to him.
"Uncle Cang likes it, let's buy a few sets when we go back. I heard that it was a famous sofa or something. It's just that the work is extremely heavy, and there are no more than 100 pairs in ten months, otherwise, I would like to buy some back and sell them to the West, which is another good thing. Da Mu laughed a few words, then sighed slightly, and said, "Uncle Cang, I'm thinking, is it necessary for us to do this?" Reconquista, how good that is......"
"Haha, Da Mu is still young. It's nice to be young. But if you think about your father's status in Fujian, and think about where our wealth comes from, you won't be entangled in this. Wei Cang said quietly, and his pride was a little less.
That's right, these people are Zheng Zhilong's subordinates in Fujian.
And the young man beside Wei Cang is even more extraordinary, directly Zheng Sen, the son of Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Sen served Qian Qianyi when he was in Nanjing, because Zheng Zhilong knew that the biggest Ming dynasty was the Donglin family. But the situation has changed over the years, Donglin has been absorbed and absorbed, and the disintegration has been disintegrated, and the Restoration Society has completely dissipated its influence because of the opposite side of Zhu Cihong, and even the four sons of the Restoration Society have surrendered and surrendered, and those who have returned to their hometowns have almost evaporated from the world, such as Hou Fangyu.
Therefore, after Zheng Sen traveled to Nanjing for a period of time, he went to Beijing Normal University, and at this moment he was studying for the preparatory examination of Beijing Normal University.
Many students come from all over the world, but they are unable to pass the entrance examination of Jingshi University. The entrance examination under Zhu Cihong's personal intervention is completely the same as that of later generations, with liberal arts and science, in short, it is by no means something that students who come out of the Bagu literary battlefield can adapt to. Although Zheng Sen's talent is good, he can only start from scratch.
Compared with Zheng Sen's study tour here, there is no doubt that Wei Cang's purpose here is much more complicated.
Just like many employees of Hengxin Auction House think, he is here to stir up the situation, to be popular, and to smash the field.
In fact, when it comes to Zhu Cihong and Zheng Zhilong, it is not that they have no dealings.
Of course, this kind of interaction is a bit ugly to say.
Zheng Zhilong, who is independent of the southeast coastal region, once had some awkwardness when Zhu Cihong was expanding on the sea. The clipper ship from the Longjiang Shipyard sailed quickly to Japan, but the behavior of not paying the toll angered the Zheng Group. They were filled with righteous indignation, and they all wanted to make Zhu Cihong pay the price.
When Zhu Cihong crossed to North Korea, they even sent people to Liaodong to try to find an opportunity to get back the factory.
They soon understood how costly it would be to go against the Ming Emperor.
How difficult it is to find this field.
Zheng Zhibao, who witnessed Zhu Cihong's feat of rushing into Shengjing, never mentioned finding a venue after returning to Fujian. It's just that, with the official opening of the sea ban, countless sea ships rushed to the sea. There were more and more conflicts between the imperial court and the Zheng group. Although Zheng Zhibao didn't do it, many people secretly started to do it.
Of course, there are good and bad endings, but the latter takes up most of them. After a series of setbacks, the Zheng group began to reflect and study how to deal with the empire's recovery.
Now, seeing that the order to return Liao has been issued, Liaodong will be recovered. Zheng Zhilong is anxious, he wants to smash the field and stir up the situation! (To be continued.) )
