Chapter 1160: Look at the white hair on this end

Capital has a self-healing and powerful instinct.

In this way, merchants who have invested a huge amount of assets will take the initiative to assume the "obligation" to show up for Xincheng, and there is no need for Wu Zheng to persuade and explain.

Are these merchants who have invested huge amounts of assets losing money?

Didn't lose money, but made a lot of money, at least the numbers on the books are extremely attractive, because everything has risen, especially land and real estate.

Originally, seven or eight taels could buy an acre of wasteland outside the city, but after more than two years, now it can't be bought for three hundred taels.

Its essence is a kind of inflation in disguise, something that was originally only worth one tael of silver, suddenly one day, it will cost a hundred taels.

You think you've made a windfall, but in fact, after you sell it, when you want to buy it back, you find that it has risen again, and you can't buy it for a hundred taels.

This kind of mentality makes people very entangled, and then those who have goods refuse to sell, there is less circulation, no one sells, and the price is getting higher and higher, so high that it is unattainable.

But the essence is that this thing is actually still this thing, and it has not become two things because of the increase in prices.

Rich on paper, this is the essence.

But have the people suffered?

Absolutely not, as mentioned earlier, the poor people of these four prefectures, as long as they sell their land and real estate, they can become rich overnight, and they can go to other prefectures and become rich.

The merchants, the rich, and the common people have not lost, they have all earned, and who has lost?

Where does the money come from?

In addition to the four years of war and the huge profits obtained from foreign trade, in fact, the circulation of the provinces under its jurisdiction is still the silver.

There is a story in later generations that is very suitable to explain this problem, that is, a man went to live in a hotel, and took out a thousand yuan as the house money, and the shopkeeper took it to pay back the money for the vegetables, and the vegetable grower took it to pay the feed money, and the factory owner took him to pay the hotel fee, and when the money returned to the shopkeeper, the man could not stop talking, and the thousand dollars went back to the man, but all the debts of everyone in the town were paid off.

The meaning of wealth is also in circulation.

Of course, Wu Zheng is not familiar with economics, but Wu Zheng knows that it is too wasteful for private wealth to be buried in the ground.

So, I thought about it and let the wealth circulate.

Therefore, in fact, there are many smart people in the various prefectures under their jurisdiction who are speculating whether Wu Zheng will move the General's Mansion to the new city, and they have all thought of the possibility of not moving, and they have also thought of Wu Zheng's methods.

But will anyone accuse and oppose?

Absolutely not, on the contrary, once someone doubts this, it will be condemned by countless people, because they are all in the same boat, and the ship sinks, which is not good for anyone.

Wu Zheng is very rogue, and the white wolf with empty gloves plays very smoothly, at least, he has done what Zhu Yihai can't do.

What's even more clever is that no one can really pierce this "lie".

Because the new city has been built, although no walls have been built from the beginning.

At that time, many people, including Zhang Guowei and others, were puzzled, how could there be a city without walls.

But now I understand, because only without the city wall can the city be continuously expanded, and this "lie" can be carried on endlessly.

God knows, now the new city has almost occupied the original Huating County, Baoshan Institute, and Wusongjiang Institute, accounting for almost thirty percent of the entire Songjiang Prefecture.

Ma Shiying is a smart person, and it has been almost three years, so he naturally figured out this problem.

So, he's worried.

He had to worry, because a lie is a lie after all.

The Ministry of Lies has the day to debunk.

Wu Zheng can play the trick of the empty glove white wolf so smoothly, not because he is handsome, but because of the trend of interests.

Everyone profited from it, even if it was rich on paper.

But as long as the lie persists, it is not a lie, but a fact.

But now I'm in trouble, big trouble.

The reason why this lie has been believed from the beginning and has been believed until now is that even more people believe it and believe it more firmly.

There is only one reason, that is, Wu Zheng is like a god, the god of war!

The god of war naturally cannot defeat the battle, and the god of war is naturally not the god of war who defeats the battle.

It's simple, but it's too hard to do.

If this naval battle is lost, this "lie" will burst like a soap bubble.

Countless businessmen, both inside and outside, will abandon the new city, which is a disaster.

If there is a war with Zheng Chenggong, countless domestic and foreign businessmen will also leave Hangzhou and Songjiang Mansion.

The reason is also very simple, the greatest interest of merchants is overseas trade, and in the event of war in the South China Sea, whose fleet can come north smoothly?

While businessmen earn profits, they value stability the most, and they need asset security, which is their nature.

So, how can Ma Shiying, who has figured it out, not worry?

He thinks that Wu Zheng took the risk to go to sea this time, probably in order to reach an agreement with the Zheng family.

But he guessed that it would not be easy, unless Wu Zhengli accepted some conditions that Zheng Chenggong proposed that he should not have given up.

But this will affect the confidence of the people in the various prefectures under its jurisdiction in Wu Zheng.

Ma Shiying couldn't figure it out for herself, so she had to step forward with a shy face and take the initiative to "confess".

"But the prince is counting [Apex www.booktxt.xyz] to meet the king of Yanping County at sea?"

Wu Zheng snorted lightly and glanced at Ma Shiying with slanted eyes, "Didn't this king say it?" The Zheng family's affairs are taken care of by themselves. ”

Ma Shiying licked her short lips and said, "Once the escaped Zheng family sailor successfully returns to the south, will it have too much impact on the prestige of the prince?" ”

"Does it matter?" Wu Zheng glanced back at Ma Shiying in surprise.

Ma Shiying was really anxious, "How can it not have an impact?" If this sailor returns to the south smoothly, the people will feel that the prince has lost, and such a big water battle may not be hidden! ”

Wu Zheng was stunned and asked, "Why do you want to hide it?" ”

Ma Shiying looked at Wu Zheng in astonishment, "Lord, what's going on in Xincheng, in fact, Ma and Zhugong know in their hearts that it is not easy for the prince to lay this foundation over the years, and no one will blame the prince...... But if this water war is lost, the situation will become very bad, which is the main reason why Ma and the princes oppose the war with the king of Yanping...... According to the current situation, the prince has just expelled the clan in the land under his jurisdiction, and the court is like fire and water, the safest thing is not to fight a big battle with Zheng Chenggong, but to fight a small battle that must be won to stabilize people's hearts. And now this Zheng family sailor who fled to the northeast is just right, and it is the safest ...... to surrender. ”

Wu Zheng was really stunned, dare to love this guy looking at himself like this?

Wu Zheng couldn't help but bite his teeth, kicked Ma Shiying hatefully, and pointed at Ma Shiying, who was kicked inexplicably, and said: "Old horse, old horse, dare to love you for growing so many white hairs on your head, all because you are too heavy in private...... Look at the white hair on this end, tsk, this year, I'm afraid I can't sleep every night, right? ”
