Liu Jin explained in detail the establishment of a colonial stronghold, and Tian Erniu and Zhao Monkey also knew what to do.

This time to go to the Golden Continent is not only the royal and silver precious metals, but to prepare for the long-term immigration of the Golden Continent in the future, lay the foundation, and prepare for the establishment of a fixed Golden Continent route in the future.

"Sun Xin~"

After talking about the Golden Continent, Liu Jin turned his gaze to Sun Xin.

"Childe~"

Sun Xin hurriedly replied respectfully.

"This time, I'm going to send you to the south, this location, Songhu~"

"You bring 10 million taels of silver to Songhu and buy as much land as possible around the Huangpu River in Songhu."

Liu Jin opened the map of the Ming Dynasty, and then drew a circle at the location of Songhu, the mouth of the Yangtze River, which is the Shanghai of later generations, if it is a later generation, they should know the geographical location and important role of Shanghai.

As the mouth of the Yangtze River, and at the same time backed by the richest and most prosperous Jiangnan region, Shanghai was definitely the economic center of China in later generations.

It is foreseeable that with the advent of ocean trade and the colonial era, the location of Songhu will become more and more prominent.

Now the real open port of the Ming Dynasty is Tianjin, and the next step is to open more ports out, there is Tianjin in the north, and Songhu is indispensable in the south, and Guangzhou is indispensable in the south.

At this time, the center of the Ming Dynasty has always been in the south, the Ming court's tax revenue mainly comes from the Jiangnan region, and capitalism in the north is developing rapidly, and the Jiangnan region naturally can't just look at it.

If you want the Ming Dynasty to develop rapidly towards the colonial era and the maritime age, the south of the Ming Dynasty must develop.

It's just that in the beginning, the stubborn forces in the Jiangnan area were too strong.

The main force opposing the ban on opening the sea came from the Jiangnan region, and the Shilin in the Jiangnan region had an incomparably strong force in the Ming court.

They oppose the ban on the opening of the sea and want to monopolize the huge profits of the maritime trade, which has led to the fact that the southern side has not yet opened the port.

However, as Emperor Hongzhi continued to crack down on these Jiangnan Shilin, Jiangnan Shilin's voice above the court quickly weakened, coupled with the rise of capitalism in the Beijing-Tianjin region and the huge profits of maritime trade.

These places in the south are also ready to move, and many officials in the Jiangnan region have written many times to develop foreign ports in the Jiangnan area.

Whether it is the needs of Daming's economic development or the voice from the Jiangnan region, it is only a matter of time before the Jiangnan region opens up its ports.

And with the passage of time, slowly the entire Daming port has gradually opened up to the outside world.

With such an important position in Songhu, Liu Jin from later generations knew that once the place of Songhu was developed, it would definitely be an inch of land.

But now, Songhu is a very backward place, just some fields, no one realizes the importance of Songhu at all.

Therefore, Liu Jin is also ready to start in advance, just like Tianjin at the beginning, buy land on a large scale first, buy all the land here in Songhu, and then talk about it, and then talk about Songhu development, not to mention anything else, just by selling these lands, you can make a lot of money and make a lot of money.

Of course, Liu Jin would definitely not play such a low-level.

Liu Jin is ready to copy the Tianjin model in Songhu, buy land on a large scale, and then plan the entire Songhu, and plan everything in an orderly manner, so as to maximize the value and benefits.

It can also better promote the development of Songhu and serve the development of capitalism in the south.

"Songhu?"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao, Sun Xin, and Liu Jin couldn't help but look at the map at the same time and looked at it carefully.

"What's so peculiar about this Songhu, it's worth Lao Liu's move to let this Sun Xin bring tens of millions of taels of silver to buy land?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the map carefully and studied Songhu.

"It's a good place, the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the richest Jiangnan region, but these tens of millions of taels of silver are invested, do you want to be the same as Tianjin?"

Zhu Houzhao quickly thought of something, and immediately couldn't help laughing.

"Lao Liu is really a profiteer, he has laid out the layout in advance, tsk, this person who sold the land in Songhu is estimated to cry to death in the future."

Zhu Houzhao remembered the miserable landlords in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

At the beginning, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao bought almost all the land in Tianjin and the capital, and it was very cheap when they bought it, especially in Tianjin.

The land near the sea was all saline-alkali land and the like, which was not worth much at all, and when I bought it, I could buy a lot of land for a tael of silver.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were so frenzied that they almost bought all the land in Tianjin. Nuancai Literature Network

Now, with the rise of Tianjin New Town, the development of Tianjin Port, and the rise of capitalism in Tianjin, the land price in Tianjin has risen to the sky.

The closer it is to the port of Tianjin and the more expensive the land in Tianjin New Town, one acre of land has now risen to several hundred taels of silver, which has increased hundreds of times.

The key is that there is no place to buy land if there is silver, because all the land has been bought by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, and Liu Jin has no intention of making a move, but slowly planning and developing.

First build a spacious cement road, so that the whole area is accessible in all directions, and then rent the lease, build a commercial street to build a commercial street, build a community to build a community, in short, the planning is neat, so that the entire Tianjin New City is completely different from the traditional Daming city.

These measures have further boosted land prices in Tianjin, and countless people want to buy land here, but there is no way out.

At most, the land here is rented, leased to you to run factories and workshops.

In order to attract the population and promote employment, Liu Jin's rent is very cheap, anyway, it is to attract people first, and even here in the factory area, Liu Jin also specially let people build a large number of factories for rent.

Under this series of operations, the population of Tianjin is increasing, and the population of Tianjin New Town alone has reached more than 2 million.

Then Liu Jin continued to open real estate, the upper buildings were sold, and the shops below were still held for rent, and now the annual rent received alone is more than the total amount of money invested in buying land.

Zhu Houzhao is a shareholder, of course he knows all this, so he immediately knew what bad things Liu Jin was going to do, which was nothing more than copying a Tianjin here in Songhu.

"It seems that we can send someone to Songhu to buy some land~"

Liu Jin's little eyes are also rolling, he also made a lot of money with Zhu Houzhao, as long as Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao invest something, he will also invest.

There is a commercial bank in Tianjin that he Liu Jin funded and established, and he made a fortune behind Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao's butts.

Because he found that as long as he followed Liu Jin, he would not be able to earn all the money.

Don't look at him as just a little eunuch beside the prince, but his worth is quite expensive, and now he doesn't accept the silver tickets given by everyone.

That bit of filial piety is almost the same as sending a meal away, what he has is silver, as long as he follows Liu Jin, it is easy to earn silver, why bother to collect that bit of silver, a year is to collect tens of thousands of taels of silver, but it is just a gap between the teeth.

"Childe, go to Songhu to buy land?"

Sun Xin looked at the location of Songhu and said with some doubts.

"Yes, the land on both sides of the Huangpu River has been bought, and in the future, this Songhu will be Tianjin in the south, and once the southern region develops, it is estimated that it will soon surpass the north, maybe it will not take a few years, and it will be difficult to say that this Songhu can surpass Tianjin."

Liu Jin nodded and said bluntly.

"More than Tianjin?"

"It's unlikely, isn't it?"

Sun Xin thought about it and said with some skepticism.

"Don't believe me?"

"Then let's take a look."

"In fact, the economic center of our Ming Dynasty has always been in the south, and the output of grain, cloth, silk, tea, salt, etc. in the entire Jiangnan region has always accounted for more than half of our Ming Dynasty."

"In the past two years, the factories, workshops and maritime trade in the north have developed, and they can barely be compared with the south, but the foundation of the south is there, where are the conditions, once it develops, it will be very fast and has very great potential."

Liu Jin said very confidently.

In fact, as early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the economic center has been transferred to the south, and the population of the south also exceeds that of the north.

"In the future, not only Songhu, but also Guangzhou, the Pearl River estuary on the Guangdong side, also has great potential, this coastal area near the sea, the rise of marine trade, these places can also follow the rapid development."

"Of course, the same is true for the areas along the Yangtze River, such as Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, which can develop rapidly by the sea and the river."

Liu Jin pointed to the territory of Daming, circled some areas on it, and said very confidently.

Da Ming is a giant dragon, it used to lock itself up, once it is released, it can shake the whole world, its natural conditions are too superior.

The territory is vast, the population is large, the natural conditions are superior, the coastline is very long, and it is the Yangtze River, the Pearl River and other rivers that can be transported by river.

Plus there is the most industrious and intelligent people in the world.

This means that it will always be one of the most powerful nations on the planet.

What Liu Jin has to do now is to completely release it, free it from the cage in which he was imprisoned, and take advantage of the rise of the colonial era to seize more territory and resources.
