With the arrival of Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, the whole Tianjin seems to be injected with a strong vitality.

This time, Liu Jin brought almost all the silver that the glass factory had earned during this time, and was ready to smash all the silver here in Tianjin.

The first thing Liu Jin did when he came to Tianjin was to buy land.

The land close to the Haihe River and the Bohai Sea, no matter what the price is, as long as he is willing to sell, Liu Jin sent people to quickly start sweeping up.

This land near the sea is the lowest land, many of which are saline-alkali land, which is not suitable for growing grain at all, and in this era, the land that is not suitable for growing grain is inferior land.

Knowing that some people wantonly bought coastal land, and some people took the opportunity to sell land at too high a price and then began to sell land frantically, Liu Jin also did not refuse to come, as long as he was willing to sell, Liu Jin would buy it.

As for someone deliberately raising the price of land, Liu Jin also didn't care about these, even if the land is raised now, the price will not be high, if you don't seize the opportunity to buy the land, in the future, after the construction of all aspects of Tianjin, the price of land here will skyrocket, and it will really not be cost-effective to buy at that time.

A lot of money was thrown down, and the price of land was raised a lot, so that people who didn't want to sell their land began to sell their land.

Because the gentry, landlords, and squires of Tianjin are all discussing that fool is buying land on a large scale, and no one wants to sell one tael of silver and one mu of saline-alkali land at all, but now it can be sold for 2 taels of silver, and some can even be sold for 3 taels of silver.

In the past, one or two pieces of silver could buy a few acres of land, and sometimes even several acres of land.

In a very short period of time, Liu Jin almost bought the land near the sea and the river in Tianjin, and the amount was unimaginable.

While Liu Jin frantically bought land in Tianjin, he also began to copy the model of Xishan Coal Industry and Glass Factory.

First of all, Tianjin Maritime College was established in Tianjin, and thousands of students from the Maritime Academy need to continue to study, both theoretically and practically.

Then the Tianjin cement workshop was established, ready to burn cement, whether it is to build a port, build a wharf, or build a house, and build a road to the capital behind, cement is absolutely indispensable.

If there is no cement, it is definitely very time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-consuming to build a building in this era, although Liu Jin is rich now, and the manpower in this era is also very cheap, but the time is not allowed.

At the same time, the Tianjin Marine Ship Workshop was also established together, and although the ten lucky ships found by Emperor Hongzhi were relatively large, some of them were relatively old and needed to be overhauled and improved.

Of course, it is more important to study the manufacture of ships and the study of many equipment and instruments on the ocean, Liu Jin believes that as long as the Hongzhi Emperor tastes the many benefits of maritime trade and overseas colonial plunder, this sea ban will definitely be lifted at that time.

This shipbuilding is very knowledgeable, as the so-called 10-year army, 100-year navy, in fact, this is what it means, now we must have to lay the foundation, slowly accumulate.

Whether it is Tianjin Maritime College, Tianjin Cement Workshop, or Tianjin Marine Ship Workshop, they are all done in the name of Zhu Houzhao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of internal share distribution, Zhu Houzhao also has the majority, Liu Jin doesn't dare to open with him now, after all, he is the prince, and he used to pretend not to know his identity and still be able to open the five-five, but now that he has done his identity as a prince, he is naturally smarter, and he can open it on June Fourth, lest someone use this matter to attack him in the future.

Because all of them are copied from the model of Xishan Coal Industry, it is natural that large-scale recruitment of workers is also needed.

"Recruited, recruited~"

"Tianjin Maritime College has recruited workers, three meals a day, one meat every three days, and wages for working every day, the more you do, the more you get."

On the streets near the east of Tianjin, a group of strong men wearing the uniform of Xishan Maritime College beat gongs and drums, and kept shouting while walking on the street.

With the shouting of these people, it suddenly became the focus of everyone, and in the streets and alleys, the victims who had been hungry for a long time immediately gathered around after hearing that they were full of three meals a day and one meal of meat every three days.

"Three meals a day?"

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, don't look at who we are, we are from Xishan Maritime Academy, behind us is His Royal Highness the Prince, and we can still deceive you, if you want to go to work, hurry up and sign up in the east of the city, go to eat early, and work hard after eating."

When the people around heard this, they immediately spread their feet one by one and ran desperately towards the east side of the city, now at this time, as long as you give food to eat, you can live, and you can say anything.

On the west side of the city, some people also began to beat gongs and drums.

"Recruitment, recruitment, Tianjin cement workshop recruitment, long-term workers, temporary workers are accepted, three meals a day, eat a meal of meat every three days, long-term workers are preferential, temporary workers also have wages, want to go to work outside the city to sign up, go to eat early, work hard after eating."

In the south of the city, there are people wearing Xishan Coal Industry costumes shouting the same hard.

"Tianjin Ocean Workshop has recruited, Tianjin Ocean Workshop has recruited."

"Three meals a day, three days of meat to eat, shipbuilding, carpentry preferential treatment, monthly salary of not less than three taels of silver, literacy, arithmetic treatment is also preferential, monthly salary is not less than three taels of silver, want to go to work speed to the south of the city to sign up."

As a group of people began to beat gongs and drums in Tianjin, the whole Tianjin city began to become extremely crowded, from the streets and alleys, the people in tattered clothes, unkempt, yellow and thin muscles began to continue to pour towards the city gates.

Outside the city gate, there were already people waiting, and it was also the style of doing things on the side of Xishan Coal Industry, everyone had to line up, first register to receive an identity card.

Then wait until the number of people reaches a certain number, and begin to turn these people into squads, each team is led by the old people from the Xishan Coal Industry, and under the leadership of these old people, they go to the construction site one by one, first familiarize themselves with the places where they work, eat and sleep, and are familiar with the various rules and regulations copied from the Xishan side.
