In the history of China, the border immigrants organized by the imperial court are really countless, although this measure is very expensive and material, but there is basically not much opposition in the imperial court, the reason is very simple, this is a thing that far outweighs the disadvantages.

In addition to better reducing the burden of the imperial court and controlling the security of the border areas, immigration to the border areas also has a great advantage, that is, it can reduce the population pressure in the interior, so that more people can have enough to eat, in other words, the foundation of the prosperous era will also be there.

After all, there is only so much land in the interior, especially since the development of the eighteenth century, almost all the land that can be cultivated and cannot be cultivated has been planted with crops, and even the common people do not hesitate to fill in lakes and reclaim forest land in order to be able to ask for land from nature, the purpose is to cultivate more land and harvest more grain.

This approach can't be said to be wrong, but in today's era, it seems more or less inappropriate, especially in the eyes of people like Ning Yu from later generations, this is really a bit thankless, and there are endless troubles.

For Ning Yu, the best way to alleviate the population pressure is not to continue to squeeze the land in the interior, but to open up more distant places, especially the black soil on the Northeast Plain, which is not generally fertile, and even in later generations it was the big granary of China.

The sooner this big granary is developed, the sooner we can harvest more grain and feed more people.

Ning Yu sighed softly: "If we can immigrate all these 10 million people to the Northeast in the future, then we will not only be able to harvest at least 10,000 mu of land in the Northeast, but also be able to easily pull out 500,000 armed militia in the Northeast, and for Da Chu, there will be no need to worry about the security of the Northeast." ”

Everyone nodded, the big guys knew that the Russians were trying to find a way to compete with Ning Chu for control of the north, although they basically did not pose any threat to Ning Chu, but what about the future?

If the armed farm plan can be implemented, the northeast will be able to mobilize two million armed militias under the extreme circumstances, and at that time, not to mention the Russians, no matter what forces come to the northeast, it will be impossible to take the northeast away.

Of course, Ning Chu can't do it at the moment, but when the plan is implemented day after day, then sooner or later it will be realized.

After agreeing on the resettlement plan, the ministers were about to disperse, but Ning Yu suddenly thought of something else, let Li Fu and Huang Maode stay, and sent someone to call Ernst and Ning Zhonghai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and others.

"Ernst, what's going on with the stock exchange plan in Nanjing?"

As soon as Ernst arrived, Ning Yu immediately asked, he still had a long time thinking about this matter in his heart, after all, when he was short of money at the moment, the stock exchange was able to attract private funds, which was still a very good means, and it was worth his attention.

Ernst had a smile on his face: "Back to Your Majesty, the Nanjing Stock Exchange has basically been prepared, and when Your Majesty returns to Nanjing, it can officially start. ”

Ning Yu nodded slightly, and said, "Well, it seems that it is quite smooth, I think that in addition to these commercial houses, some official development companies can also be formed by the imperial court, and the development projects carried out can also be put on for dividends." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it surprised everyone, because the meaning behind this sentence is not simple.

If the previous stock exchange was just a game of capital mobilization between the Southern Chamber of Commerce, then the official projects established by the imperial court are more of a bet on the nature - the ability of the imperial court is naturally great, but the projects carried out by the imperial court are not all profitable, and it is very difficult to profit from them if there is no more well-informed information and strong capital.

However, once the treasure is pressed, the benefits obtained are not ordinarily large.

For example, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway that Ning Chu is currently building, no one can see the future prospects, so if the imperial court takes out the future operation rights of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to form a company, and puts it on the stock exchange in Nanjing at that time, it is a kind of betting nature - no one can estimate the income that the railway will produce, so no one understands how much its investment value is, but if the railway can really generate huge returns, it is no less than a cornucopia.

Ernst couldn't help frowning, he knew what the emperor was thinking, and tried his best to use the people's money to do great things together, but if he did it rashly at the moment, he was afraid that the effect would be as the emperor thought - after all, man is a very short-sighted animal, and the long-term vision will always exist in a very small number of people.

"Your Majesty, if the imperial court project is put up, it is not impossible, but it is difficult for us to give the expected profit - I'm afraid it's still early." Ernst decided to tell the truth.

Ning Yu smiled slightly, he had seen the madness of the shareholders in his previous life, even if he had experienced stock market crashes repeatedly, the leeks were still rushing in? As long as there are success stories, then they don't consider themselves failures.

"Ernst, I don't mean that I want them to join now, but I hope that they can understand the business opportunities in these places through the current projects of the imperial court - for example, the imperial court's current northeast immigration plan, which is also a big business that can make money if it is done well."

"What, this can also make money?"

Almost all the ministers were confused by Ning Yu, this is clearly a matter of losing money and trying to achieve a long-term plan, can the emperor still let the emperor turn some stones into gold? Not to mention making money, even if it is a small loss, it is quite amazing.

Ning Yu smiled: "The Northeast is vast and rich in resources, and it is very possible to make money from it, just like the dense forests in the Northeast, you can cut it down, and when the time comes, whether it is building or making ships, you can make a lot of money........ In addition, the mining of gold, silver and iron ore can also make a lot of money. ”

When the emperor began to talk about money vigorously, he looked no different from the traders who fooled customers into investing in his previous life, and even the emperor looked at the ministers with more encouragement and confidence in his eyes.

Ernst felt a little hairy in his heart, "Your Majesty means that the prospect of the development of the Northeast will be made into a project and placed on the exchange?" ”

Ning Yu nodded and said, "I plan to establish a Northeast Resources Development and Utilization Joint Stock Company, and when the time comes, as part of the Northeast Immigration Plan, it will be placed on the exchange, and as for the early funds, I will contribute five million silver dollars, if you want to contribute money, you can also take some shares." ”

"If the ministers pay the money, they can also profit from it in the future?" Ernst smiled on his face, of course he knew what this meant, and now began to cooperate with the emperor.

Ning Yu said: "That's right, the Northeast Resources Development and Utilization Joint Stock Company exists as a long-term project, and its profits will be announced on the board of directors to ensure that the major shareholders have the right to know. If you don't want to make money in the long run, you can also sell your shares to get a premium on your shares. ”

It was rare for the emperor to explain in such detail, but it made others a little moved, "Your Majesty, will the price of the stock fluctuate greatly?" ”

"That's right – as a public company, all the financial problems of the Northeast Resources Development and Utilization Joint Stock Company will be announced, and whether it is a profit or a loss, it will affect the confidence of shareholders - in short, it will also affect the value of the stock itself." Ning Yu took the trouble to explain.

"Sounds like it's very profitable......." Huang Maode's face showed a hint of yearning.

Ning Yu smiled, "Of course, as a stock exchange, there will not be only such a choice at that time, in fact, I have already planned to establish the North Korea Resources Development Co., Ltd. and the Myanmar Resources Development Co., Ltd., and the funds planned at that time will be used as the income of the imperial court." ”

Ernst looked at the emperor in front of him in amazement, he could be said to be able to basically follow this logic, and it could even be said that the implementation of this project itself represented a kind of victory - the emperor successfully kidnapped everyone to his ship, and could only follow his ship all the way.

The reason is very simple, when you buy the shares of Myanmar Resources Development Co., Ltd., no matter what, you will subconsciously hope that the company's smooth growth will bring you benefits beyond expectations, then when the interests of the imperial court in Myanmar are lost, you will also subconsciously prevent this from happening, as for giving up the interests of Myanmar, it is even more unthinkable, you will personally go to the battlefield to protect your property.

The alliance kidnapped with interests is the most staunch good comrade-in-arms.

Ning Yu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I will invest in all the above projects, so if you believe in my vision, you can also invest a sum of money, and in a few years you can provide you with unimaginable benefits - of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to invest, when they grow up, maybe you will spend a bigger price to invest." ”

On the surface, these words were meant for the ministers below, but in fact, Ning Yu was saying that the chamber of commerce clans behind them wanted to grow rapidly with the rhythm of the empire? Then hurry up and pay for it!

How to take out other people's money is a difficult problem, how to let others take the initiative to pay is a science, at least Ning Yu has mastered the essence of this knowledge now, he can be sure that after the last Fengjun, this stock exchange may also bring more wealth.

In fact, as Ning Yu thought, not long after the news came out, almost all the chambers of commerce and clans smelled the smell of wealth hidden behind this matter - judging from the current strength of the imperial court, whether it is the Northeast or Myanmar or North Korea, almost all of them have been able to grasp it safely, and there is a lot of room for investment, so they also attach great importance to it.

Of course, it's one thing to pay attention, but it's another thing to pay for it at the moment.

However, at this time, another big news attracted everyone's attention, that is, Zhu Yigui of Taiwan finally sent an envoy to Nanjing to ask for Dachu!
