Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 946: Get Rich Overnight

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

In this world, there is nothing that cannot be solved by money.

Because there are many people in this land, and these simple people have a pair of hardworking hands.

On this point, Fang Jifan has an accurate understanding.

Once the steel is made, the railway line will be laid, and the future income can be guaranteed. Since someone will take over the order in the future, why worry about the investment?

Zhu Houzhao got Fang Jifan's accurate words, as if he had taken a reassurance, he felt very comfortable.

"I heard that the trading market has gone crazy?" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Fang Jifan calmly said: "This group of damn profiteers are really annoying."

…………

The trading market has indeed gone crazy.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this trading market is overcrowded, and it has become a place occupied by countless merchants.

In fact, this is also understandable.

The current form of doing business has undergone drastic changes.

The previous path no longer worked.

Not only merchants from the capital, even merchants from nearby states and counties, and even merchants from afar, are now almost willing to stay here.

A special tea room has been set up here, where everyone gets together, gets to know each other, and exchanges various information with each other.

You must know that merchants are often the most sensitive people in this world to information. For them, any news may bring huge wealth.

Therefore, the people who come here can be said to be in an endless stream, with thousands or even tens of thousands of people flowing every day.

The goods displayed can be traded at any time.

The information exchanged may also be realized at any time.

Even a paper contract may have passed through the hands of several people within a few days.

The Xishan Bank opened here is also the busiest. Countless banknotes are either saved at any time or cashed out immediately. The front hall is full of people.

This is a new door, and it turns out that this is the way to do business.

And the topic of these days is never without pig iron.

After the price of pig iron doubled in one day, it has been rising for the next few days.

People are crazy.

Every merchant is trying to find a source of goods.

"Is there any pig iron?"

"Look, old man, I'm afraid it will continue to rise."

"It has risen again, it has risen, and it has increased by three copper coins per catty."

People here have witnessed one miracle after another.

Yesterday, maybe he was just an unknown businessman, but overnight, his assets doubled, and he became rich overnight, becoming the object of everyone's praise.

The previous buying and selling model was between acquaintances, even if they were acquaintances, they usually only exchanged letters.

But here, they receive countless messages every day, just like later generations. An uninformed person suddenly became proficient in the Internet. Ever since, the influx of knowledge began to explode. Economics, military, entertainment, almost all messages, short messages In just a few months, a person who did not know any military establishment or economic activities before can become an excellent keyboard economist, military strategist, well-informed person in the keyboard entertainment circle, and... a six-scholar.

Even a piece of news from the remote Fujian chief envoy could be brought here and spread widely.

And now... iron... iron.

In the market, the price of pig iron keeps rising. The pig iron that was originally scarce in the market keeps pouring out. It is said that many merchants have colluded with the eunuch who guards the iron mines in the locality. It is also rumored that a lot of pig iron is from the It came out of the bureau.

However, no one will ask the source of pig iron, it is not important, what is important is that pig iron can be exchanged for silver.

Many people's eyes are red, of course... There are other channels for pig iron, and the merchants are all looking at the far-away customs.

In fact, merchants are strangers outside the customs.

But they know that there are a lot of iron mines outside the pass, and those iron mines are not run by the government...

that's enough.

The very center of the entire trading market is a hall with a small round structure.

This is known as the trading center.

But anyone who wants to buy goods is willing to let people hang a sign here.

For example, now, in this trading center, there are all kinds of signs hanging in a dazzling array.

"Collect high-quality silk, two or four dollars a piece, seven hundred pieces."

"Receive wood, six hundred yuan a side..."

Of course, there are more signs, but they are hanging: "Pig iron, one hundred and fifty-two yuan per catty!"

The sign was put up just now, but soon, the sign was taken down again: "Pig iron, one hundred and sixty yuan per catty."

It seems... Even so, no one cares about it, and the sign continues to hang up: "Pig iron, one hundred and sixty-five yuan per catty!"

Like a revolving lantern, one brand after another was frantically hung up. Countless merchants stood under here, looking at the refurbished brands, their eyes were red, and they almost went crazy.

If I have pig iron, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to become rich.

I heard that Xishan is now making steel, and many furnaces have begun to be built. In the future, pig iron... will only go up all the way.

...

And many big bosses, at this moment... have no interest

I have spent my mind on purchasing pig iron.

Because it is completely unnecessary.

Almost all the pig iron on the market has been searched.

Instead of trying to buy it, it's better to...

Action must be fast!

It is said that the Hexi Corridor is full of pig iron... I also heard that steelmaking is not only about pig iron, but also has a huge demand for coal. It is said that there are a large number of exposed coal mines in Xuanfu, and the government does not use coal as an official operation. You have to send someone to Xuanfu immediately to establish a good relationship with the local parents and officials, and you have to buy some coal mines.

The carriages for pulling goods are ready.

Countless civilian husbands have been recruited.

There are also all the joints along the way, and people need to be sent to get through them immediately.

This road, of course, is far away.

The cost of transportation is not low.

But until now, if this trend continues...it's not certain.

Not only that, iron mines in various places, and many merchants are also well known.

You must know that although it is government-run pig iron, it can also be bought and sold, provided that production must be increased.

These merchants are best at drilling.

Which iron mine can increase production and get the goods, what is the name of the guarding eunuch, where is his family... where is he from...

The pig iron in the Hexi Corridor is said to be of high quality and the cheapest price...

After finding out the number of roads, countless horses and chariots started to set off.

When we set off, the car was loaded with countless food and daily necessities.

It is said that in Hexi, food prices are very high there, and the prices of many necessities of life are twice as much as those in Guan.

These things were sent to Hexi, and then returned with pig iron. According to the calculations of many people, it was profitable.

Of course, the most important thing is that the appearance of the four-wheeled carriage made all this possible.

In the past, the horse-drawn carriage carried less goods and was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But the four-wheeled carriage is different, stable, fast, and has a large loading capacity.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the Tatars outside the pass were conquered, a large number of horses began to pour into the pass. These Mongolian horses, which are cheap, hard-working, and easy to feed, are really rare animal power.

It seems that this route seems to be far away, but in fact, most of the northern lands are plains, and there are hardly many hills. You only need to follow the official road and go west all the way. It's only a month or two.

This is different from the south, where there are many mountains and rivers, and the distance may even be a few miles, with a river and a mountain in the middle, and it will take a few days to delay this few miles.

On the official road, countless chariots and horses set off one after another before dawn. They carried guides, or they found letters of recommendation from some important figures. Teams of chariots and horses were mighty. , continuously.

The carriages of the Xishan Chariot and Horse Manufacturing Workshop are almost at full capacity now, and orders have been scheduled for the next year, but people's demand for cargo carriages has not stopped.

In order to increase the transportation capacity, the craftsman racked his brains to improve the carriage...

The workshop for the manufacture of carriages and horses seems to be preparing to expand its production.

As for the purchase of large quantities of pig iron, Wang Jinyuan is willing to spend a lot of money. If the price rises, it will rise. He still needs as much as he wants. His Royal Highness is urging him urgently. If His Royal Highness’s plan is delayed, he will really kill it. my own.

but……

Take a close look at the accounts...

Wang Jinyuan was also a little confused.

its not right.

On the surface, it seems that they bought pig iron on a large scale, and after the purchase price of pig iron skyrocketed, they spent countless silver.

But after careful calculation, the sales of carriages have doubled. Due to the large demand for horses, Xishan's large number of horses outside the pass have also begun to fall short of demand. And in the future, the various minerals in the Hexi Corridor seem to be...

Not to mention, in the future... the old city...

Thinking of this, Wang Jinyuan took a deep breath, why, Xishan didn't suffer anyway.

…………

The enthusiasm in this trading market has actually not attracted the attention of too many big figures. For the nobles in the temple, these indiscriminate transactions are nothing more than mere affairs.

But there was one person, dressed in casual clothes, who appeared in the trading market. He secretly visited the details of every transaction. Then, when he got home, he began to read the article in The Wealth of Nations again, comparing what he saw during the day.

Under the light of the oil lamp, Wang Bushi's shoulders trembled slightly.

That's right!

All of this...is actually correct.

Although I don't know what the pig iron will turn into in the end, the result... must be as I expected.

His face was flushed with excitement, and his body even trembled...

The Wealth of Nations... what a fantastic book.

Squinting his eyes, Wang Bushi seemed to be looking at a place, but in fact he was lost in thought.

At this time, he already had a premonition that countless wealth was waving to him.

The sky has changed...

The world has also changed...

Those idiots in the Hanlin Academy who are still holding scriptures.

It seems that I haven't figured it out yet.

Arrogance... is really a taboo!
