Chapter 49: The First Wave of Dividends
Zhu Shun roughly deduced the idea of the Donglin Party halfway through speaking: "The Donglin Party should now unite all the bureaucrats and gentry in Gyeonggi and sell all the Zhuangzi land in Beizhili." ”
"Even if the price is as low as one tael, eight coins, or one penny, if you can't support the Zhuangzi field in Beizhili enough, you will definitely be able to squeeze out the cash in the hands of the eight Jin merchants."
"Anyway, less than 100 sticks, more than 100 sticks, are all one to twenty, as long as you bet half of these cash silver respectively, it will be twenty times the profit after a month."
"The eight Jin merchants, who no longer have cash in their hands, will definitely go bankrupt at that time, and they can only use Zhuangzi's land property to mortgage their debts."
"At that time, the bureaucrats and gentry of the Donglin Party will be able to lower the price, earn silver, and harvest more Zhuangzi fields."
Thinking of this, Zhu Shun couldn't help but feel a tingling of his scalp, both the Donglin Party and the Jin Merchants were calculating so deeply.
One wrong step will lead to the destruction of many wealthy families.
The West French people all stopped, looking at Zhu Shun in amazement, they didn't expect Zhu Shun, who was born in the countryside, to have such profound insight.
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and only when you sit higher can you see higher.
This truth is like the farmer saying that the emperor used a golden flat burden, Zhu Shun's insight, where is he still a poor boy in the countryside, it is clearly an old worship who has been up and down in the sea for many years.
If Zhu Shun's ability to open up a new era gave hope to the West French people, then his insight may carry the banner of the West French people and completely change an era.
Sun Yuanhua looked at Zhu Shun seriously and asked solemnly: "Now it seems that Jin Shang should suffer a loss, Zhu Shun, do you think ........?"
Zhu Shun shook his head and continued: "It should be said that it is evenly matched, both sides have their own calculations, and no one can take advantage of anyone. ”
"The eight major Jin merchants are not stupid, they dare to give such high odds, they must have discussed countermeasures in advance."
"It is no exaggeration to say that what the odds are are the result of careful calculations, otherwise there would not be a strange gamble with one to twenty."
"The eight Jin merchants should unite all the Jin merchants in Shanxi now, not for the sake of silver, but for one thing."
Zhu Shun and the others walked for so long, walked to the side of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, pointed to the busy and prosperous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and said with deep eyes: "Control grain prices." ”
"The servants and servants of these bureaucrats and squires of the Donglin Party have fewer than hundreds and thousands more, and the various grains, fruits and vegetables consumed every day are a very huge number."
"You can not taste tea, you can not drink wine, but this grain must be eaten, and if you don't eat it, you will die."
"As long as the grain is controlled, the lifeblood of these bureaucrats and gentry of the Donglin Party will be grasped, and the grain stored in their mansions will be consumed, and as long as the eight Jin merchants raise the price of grain to 221 liters, all the cash will come back."
"All the Zhuangzi fields in Beizhili are also owned by the eight Jin merchants."
"All the money and the land are in his pocket."
Most of the West Falcians are scientists engaged in academic research, who can peel back the cocoon, peel back layer after layer of conspiracy and calculation, and very few people see the last layer.
It is also Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua's master and apprentice.
Now I heard from Zhu Shun's mouth that there are so many flies and dogs involved, and I feel a burst of fear, it is better for me to study firearms honestly, if I really participate in it, I will still be complacent if I am sold.
However, the fear of the West French people did not last long, and they were amused by Zhu Shun's words.
"After you win, how are you going to spend your money?"
The West French people who were still afraid of the conspiracy and calculation of the Donglin Party and the Eight Great Jin Merchants just now all laughed.
"Haha-"
"Haha, these two moths lying on the body of the Ming Dynasty to suck blood, calculating and calculating, I can't imagine that we have a rifling machine."
"Haha, yes, no matter how much they calculate, we will win in the end."
Zhu Shun, the youngest doctor in history, is a member of the Institute of Strategic Studies, that is, the legendary strategic scientist, and his strategic vision is far from being comparable to ordinary people.
Zhu Shun just wants to start the first industrial revolution in a down-to-earth manner, and doesn't want to waste time on conspiracies and calculations, otherwise, Zhu Shun can make this turmoil even more treacherous.
When the West French people heard Zhu Shun ask them how to spend their money, they all had only one answer, and they took this opportunity to buy more Zhuangzi fields, and relied on these Zhuangzi fields to support their research in the future.
Zhu Shun shook his head again, walked to the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and looked at the lifeblood of the empire that stretched for thousands of miles.
There is a sentence that they may not be able to understand: "To earn a small amount of money, you rely on hard work." ”
"If you want to make a lot of money, you have to follow the general trend of the country, and the general trend is the fortune of the country."
The general trend of the country and the fortunes of the country, Sun Yuanhua and others can understand it, but when these words are put together, they don't understand.
Zhu Shun knew that they didn't understand, it wasn't that they weren't smart enough, it was still that sentence, vision.
No one can see through this era and touch another era.
Zhu Shun turned his head, looked at the West French party with a confused face, and said solemnly: "In a few years, there will be the first wave of industrialization dividends." ”
"This first wave of dividends is coal."
The price of coal is indeed not cheap, and one penny per pound of silver is a good way to make money.
But just because they invested 80,000 taels of silver, even if it would increase tenfold to 800,000 taels, they would not be able to buy a few coal mines, and they were all small coal mines.
Sun Yuanhua really couldn't bear to hit Zhu Shun, so in order to prevent him from spending money indiscriminately, he could only remind: "Coal is good, but with our little money, we still buy Zhuangzi land to make money." ”
"After all, after a while, Zhuangzi's fields are as cheap as picking them up for nothing."
Zhu Shun nodded: "I know, but I'm not talking about anthracite, but bituminous coal." ”
Bituminous coal?
When that thing is burned, it will produce a lot of poison, and every year it will poison many poor people who can't afford to buy dry firewood, and the price is extremely low.
The price is low, mining is difficult, and transporting heavy bituminous coal consumes a lot of grain and forage, so it is a loss-making business.
To put it mildly, bituminous coal is not as valuable as a stone on the side of the road.
Zhu Shun knew what the West French were thinking, and said solemnly: "Bituminous coal is not burned for people, but for machines." ”
After saying this, Zhu Shun took out a dozen hand-drawn maps from his arms: "If you believe me, go buy coal mines according to the locations marked on this map." ”
"As long as there are these bituminous coal mines, you will be big industrialists lying on the money printing machine in the future."
