Land prices in Songhu have gone crazy.

With the participation of Sun Xin and many big families, gentry, and large landowners in the Jiangnan area, the land in Songhu continued to rise, and soon rose to a sky-high price of nearly 500 taels of silver per mu.

At this time, anyone who is sober knows that this is definitely someone speculating and constantly raising the land price in Songhu.

Five hundred taels of silver, that's not a small number.

You must know that a few taels of silver are enough to marry a daughter-in-law, and these five hundred taels of silver are absolutely astronomical for ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

But now I can only buy one acre of land in Songhu.

The key is that money can't buy land, because the land in Songhu is now basically concentrated in the hands of these big landlords, gentry, and big families in Songhu.

Relying on their local advantages, these people are the local land snakes, and they forcibly buy and sell some small farmers here in Songhu, and concentrate all the land in Songhu into their own hands.

Not only on both sides of the Huangpu River, but even the fields here on Chongming Island are slowly concentrated in the hands of these people.

Of course, for this reason, these big landlords, gentry, and big families in Songhu also borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and even if they had some silver for a few hundred taels of silver per acre of land, it was not enough to support them to buy all the fields in Songhu into their own hands.

These people are like future generations of stockholders, holding stocks in their hands, drinking tea every day, hoping that the price of stocks will continue to rise.

During this period of time, the price of land in Songhu has soared, coupled with the promotion of various gossip, and the participation of major wealthy families, gentry and large landowners in the south of the Yangtze River.

All of them have created an illusion for them, that is, the land of Songhu is equivalent to the land of Tianjin, which will become the foreign port of the south in the future and become the second Tianjin, and the land here will be every inch of land in the future.

Therefore, now an acre of land worth more than 500 taels of silver is not expensive at all, not expensive at all, and it will definitely continue to rise, until it rises to the same price as the land here in Tianjin.

Some people have even analyzed that the land value here in Songhu is even higher than that in Tianjin.

Tianjin only relies on the capital, while Songhu can rely on the richest Jiangnan region in the entire Ming Dynasty, and can also radiate Huguang, Jiangxi and other places along the Yangtze River.

At the same time, it is in the middle of shipping, you can go to Tianjin, and you can go to Zhejiang, Fujian, Ryukyu and Guangdong, and the geographical advantage is far from being comparable to Tianjin.

Therefore, some people have analyzed that once this Songhu is developed, it will soon surpass Tianjin and become the largest port city in Daming.

Driven by a lot of news, not only these landlords, gentry, and big families in Songhu believe that the future of Songhu will be very brilliant.

Even in the nearby places of Nanzhili, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Zhejiang, a large number of people came to Songhu with boxes and boxes of silver and silver tickets, wanting to buy some land investment from these people.

In the past, everyone didn't pay attention to it, but after a real analysis, I immediately felt that the location of Songhu was really good, and it did have great investment value.

Everyone believes that the land in Songhu will continue to rise, and the whole Songhu is full of people who want to buy land, a few hundred taels of silver and an acre of land, so that the people of Songhu County will raise their heads when they walk, and they look like they are angry.

Songhua Building.

"Haha, it's gone up again, it's gone up again, it's almost six hundred taels of silver a mu of land."

"Have you seen it, even the Ming Morning Post is reporting on our things here in Songhu."

Zheng Liangzuo held a newspaper in his hand and said excitedly to everyone present.

"It's still the level of the Ming Morning Post, you look at the analysis above, why didn't we know that the geographical location of Songhu was so important before."

"You see, our Songhu is backed by the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River connects Huguang and the area, so you can go to Tianjin, Korea, and the Wa Kingdom to the north, and you can go to Ryukyu, Fujian, and Guangdong to the south, and go to the South Seas."

"This Songhu will definitely develop into the most prosperous and prosperous place in our Ming Dynasty in the future."

Zheng Liangzuo is very happy, he is now the largest landlord here in Songhu, holding one-fifth of the fields in the entire Songhu in his hands, for which he not only emptied all the wealth in his family, but even borrowed millions of taels of silver from many banks, big families, and big landowners in the Jiangnan area.

It can be described as crazy, just like the shareholders of later generations, after tasting a little sweetness, not only sold cars and houses, but even borrowed money from their relatives and friends, and dared to borrow from loan sharks to speculate in stocks.

"In the past, our Ming Dynasty was forbidden to the sea, and a piece of sail was not allowed to go to the sea, so even though our Songhu geographical location is very superior, it is of no use."

"It's different now, the imperial court is slowly opening the sea ban and encouraging foreign trade, and the position of our Songhu is slowly highlighted." 56

"It's better to open the sea, so that everyone can earn more silver from the outside."

"I have also studied here, if we open up Songhu in the future, from our Songhu to the south to the Nanyang region, and then east to Australia, I heard that the gold and silver in Australia will not be less than the Golden Continent."

"And the number of indigenous people in Australia is very scarce, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it will definitely be occupied by our Ming Dynasty in the future."

"From Australia further east can also reach the South Golden Continent, think about it, if this route is opened, our Songhu location will be amazing."

"This Golden Continent is full of gold, and last year, ten ships led by Du Mingen, the Marquis of Taiping, brought back gold and silver worth 30 million taels of silver from the Golden Continent."

"Think about it, in the future, when we people from the south of the Yangtze River go to the Golden Continent, Australia, and Nanyang, they will start from our Songhu, do you think our land here is worth it?"

"The Ming Morning Post said well, and it will definitely surpass Tianjin in the future."

Xu Pu also rolled out a world map, drew several important places and lines on the map, and said excitedly while talking.

He will no longer say that the court is forgetting its righteousness for profit, and he will no longer say that it is not good to open the sea, but he is a staunch supporter of opening the sea, and he feels that the court is doing the right thing.

Because only when the sea is opened, the importance of Songhu can be reflected, so that the large amount of Songhu land in his hands can be valuable.

"Mr. Xu's analysis is correct."

"This is going to the Golden Continent on the northern route, it is limited, and you can't go in winter, because in winter, there will be a lot of ice floes here in the White-collar Strait, which will seriously endanger ships."

"But there is no problem at all with the route that Mr. Xu just mentioned, because these places are hot, there will be no ice floes at all, and there are land and islands along the way to make up for it, which is safer, and there will definitely be more people taking the southern route in the future."

Some people are also following the analysis, and they have also been very concerned about this aspect of the matter for a long time.

One by one, they didn't care about this aspect at all, but now after it is related to their own interests, they have studied it at a very high level, and they have seen that the world outside the Ming Dynasty is very rich and prosperous, and they have seen the superiority of Songhu's geographical location.

"Haha, how can I say it, our land in Songhu will go up~"

After listening to everyone's words, Zheng Liangzuo immediately became even more happy.

I didn't understand it before, but now after careful study, I suddenly understand that these people are sitting on top of the gold and silver mountains, and they still have to live by collecting tenants' rents.

"It's definitely going to go up~"

"Places like Tianjin have gone crazy now, thousands of taels of silver per acre of land, which is more expensive than the land in the capital, let alone our Songhu."

"Our location in Songhu is much better than that of Tianjin, and now it is only more than 600 taels of silver per acre."

"The main reason is that we have not yet developed here in Songhu, and I heard that those northerners want to invest in building factories in us, and I think we should support them."

"I know here in Tianjin, the reason why Tianjin's land continues to rise is because there are a large number of factories and workshops, a factory workshop has a few hundred people, more than thousands, tens of thousands of people, Tianjin has tens of thousands of factories and workshops."

"Tianjin City, which used to have only tens of thousands of people, is now millions of people, can the price of this land not rise?"

"We want to develop in Songhu, or we still have to learn from the northerners, open factories, run workshops, attract more people to our Songhu, coupled with our superior geographical location, more than Tianjin, it is only a year or two, Tianjin has developed well for only about three years."

Xu Pu said with great certainty.

In the past, he was the most opposed to opening factories and running workshops, because he felt that if there were too many factories and workshops, there would be no one to farm, and they, the landlords and gentry, would drink the northwest wind.

But now it is different, in order to let the land in Songhu continue to rise, he carefully studied Tianjin, and immediately felt that there are many benefits to this factory and workshop, the most important of which is to promote the rise of land prices.

"Yes, yes, to set up factories and workshops, I heard that it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest in a textile factory, but it can be repaid in a year, and it will be earned in the future."

"Everyone in Zhejiang's Wang family should know it, their Caiyun Textile Factory is the largest textile factory in Beijing, and it is said that they earn millions of taels of silver a year."

"I also thought about it, ready to borrow hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and then open a textile factory here in our Songhu, our Songhu is backed by the south of the Yangtze River, to have silk, to have people, cloth is not to worry about selling, keep to make money."

When Zheng Liangzuo heard this, he immediately nodded straight.

In the past, these factory owners and workshop owners in the north were not taken seriously, but now after research, I found that they are so profitable, there is no reason not to make money, and they can't get along with money.
