Chapter 692: Introduction to Expansion

After two spin-offs, the Overseas Exploration and Investment Company has a total of 24 million shares, and at the current price of more than 30 guan, it will take more than 700 million yuan to buy them all, and even if they buy them all, the imperial court still holds half of the shares and has the absolute right to speak.

More than 700 million guan, that is one-third of Datang's deposits, enough to make all the countries in the Western Regions hurt, with the current world economic aggregate, even if it is the Byzantine Empire, the living money that can be used will definitely not exceed 300 million, that is, it is equivalent to the level of Datang a few years ago.

And with the people who paid a high price, repeatedly bought a part of the stocks, the stock price of overseas exploration and investment companies, also all the way in the case of continuous increase in the price of many parties, straight up, these red-eyed guys, is no longer as gentle as the previous trading floor of the Tang rich people's bids, a few Wen, dozens of Wen up, completely can not meet their intention to block and deal with, directly five hundred Wen, consistent upward, has become the norm, so, in less than half an hour, the unit price rose to forty.

However, some time ago, the shareholders of Datang, who were accustomed to seeing the stock price of overseas exploration companies double, were not moved, and today it has risen from more than 23 to 40, and it has not doubled! They are not in a hurry to make a move at all, God knows, to what extent this price will rise, anyway, they only need to continue to hold the stock, and they will be able to pay dividends properly in the future, its actual significance is not its market value, but the characteristic that it can pay dividends.

Everyone is not stupid, who would want to sell a chicken that keeps laying golden eggs for themselves.

The trading center only opened for two hours a day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, and by the end of the afternoon, Tang Fengyi had sold a total of 200,000 shares, with an average price of about 37 yuan, and more than 7 million yuan.

And after the market, it does not mean that Ma Zhou and Tang Fengyi will get off work, these 200,000 shares are scattered in the hands of more than a dozen kingdoms, but Heraclius has a little more shares in his hands, and he bought 50,000 shares, and after calculating the total amount of money in the hands of these people who bought shares, the two of them went to the office building of Li Chengqian in Daming Palace to report to work.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, our plan has worked, just one afternoon, more than seven million yuan have been taken out from their hands, if we announce the specific news that His Majesty tasted the new crops at the Jiangling Wharf, as well as more new crops, then the ministers are sure that tomorrow and one day, they will be able to take out all the remaining money in their hands, and besides, we don't need so many shares." Tang Fengyi took the lead in reporting.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he nodded and praised, "You have done a very good job, but if we only take out tens of millions of dollars from them, can we have an impact on their domestic economy?" ”

Tang Fengyi shook his head and said, "No, with the economic size of their countries, it must be at least two or three hundred million yuan to have an obvious effect, so we still need to have a plan for the next step." ”

Li Chengqian asked, "What plan?" ”

Tang Fengyi smiled and replied, "Of course, it is a mortgage to them, and let them use the shares they bought as collateral." ”

"Mortgage on them?"

Li Chengqian listened to Tang Fengyi's suggestion, first frowned, and then immediately figured it out.

The Overseas Exploration and Investment Company is here, others can't move it, can't take it, and lend them money to buy stocks, Datang actually just moved the money from the left pocket to the right pocket.

And they, although they will get a lot of shares of overseas exploration and investment companies, but they will owe Datang a huge amount of loans, if they want to repay, they will inevitably need to be extorted in their own country, they do not repay, want to repay the debt, then when they find Datang to borrow, these stocks used as collateral will be directly used to repay debts, they will lose the money they have purchased in vain, not to mention, they will also nominally, owe Datang a large amount of debt.

This is an economic war against the countries of the Western Regions using the gimmick of new species, and before they realize that the war has begun, the Tang Dynasty has begun to earn actual benefits, greatly weakening their economic strength and exacerbating their internal chaos.

Who called this crop with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu so attractive to them!

It's a pity that the number of new crops is limited, and they all have to be used for seeding, otherwise, Li Chengqian will definitely use these new crops to entertain them at tomorrow's dinner, so that they will not be able to resist such temptation.

"As long as the news in the newspaper is published, the minister is sure that tomorrow the minister will be in the trading center and take out all the money they brought over, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can reveal the news that Datang can provide them with a certain amount of mortgage at tomorrow's dinner, and let them come to the minister to talk about how to borrow." Tang Fengyi said confidently.

"Very good, everything will be done according to your plan, if this matter is successful, the difficulty of our Datang's expansion to the Western Regions can be reduced by at least two percent." Li Chengqian finally made a decision.

In recent years, the countries of the Western Regions have actually been greatly affected by Datang, because their imports from Datang are far greater than their exports, and what they buy back are some consumables, while what they sell to Datang is some non-renewable items of resources. Of course, it will not be aimed at the Tang Dynasty, which will bring them exquisite goods, but at their rulers.

Because, their rulers not only did not do anything in this matter, but also wanted to use a larger amount of goods produced by the Tang Dynasty, and therefore, they needed money even more, so they would continue to increase various taxes, and the poor would have no money even if they stripped them all, so they had to compete with the powerful and rich in their own country to make profits, which would greatly reduce their domestic stability index.

There is a reason why the rich and noble class of every country is rich, that is the class that has mastered a certain amount of resources and power, and it is only to blame Datang's commodities, which are too needed by them, because the person who designed and created these commodities is Sun Xiangfu from later generations, he just used a relatively bad street marketing strategy in later generations to design and manufacture goods, that is, 'needed', as long as the things created by Datang are what others need, then the benefits will naturally flow into Datang.

There are many other factors, for example, a large number of wealthy people from the Western Regions have migrated to Datang, which has also exacerbated the increase of domestic instability, which is also a manifestation of the relatively stable political environment of Datang, a relatively stable and war-free life, which is demanded by these rich people.

Therefore, the cause of their chaos has been buried, and when their rulers extend the means of exploitation to the lowest level of the common people, the chaos will completely break out, and at that time, it will be the best moment for the Tang Dynasty to bring a comfortable life to all the people.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian have sung double reeds for several years, just to lay out this bureau, and this bureau, when the new species arrived in the Tang Dynasty and the high-yield gimmick came out, Ma Zhou and Tang Fengyi seized the opportunity and promoted it more perfectly.

And when these high-yield crops are really planted, Datang will no longer be afraid to feed more people, and when the economic strength, military strength, material reserves necessary for survival, and so on are fully prepared, the expansion will become unstoppable.

When Li Chengqian was operating this series of earth-shattering plans in Chang'an, Shannan Province was not idle, Sun Xiaomei and Zhao He had become star-like figures, and all kinds of new crops suitable for planting in the south were planted in the newly opened fields under the rule of Yingzhou.

"Na Na Na, don't underestimate this shrimp, the head said, with it, at least it can help you drive the economy of a county with a large population, if it weren't for the fact that the head of the family designated the territory of Qianjiang County under your rule to feed, I would be reluctant to give it to you!" After Li Ke disinfected and sterilized a large fish pond in Qianjiang County with lime according to Zhao He's advice, Zhao He reluctantly came to check the water quality.

Li Ke looked at the buckets of crayfish and said a little depressed, "However, you want me to dig more than half of the land in the entire county into a pond, and besides, like this pond, use lime water to disinfect and clean up, this amount of work is too large!" Qianjiang County is not as much territory as Jiuyuan County. ”

Qianjiang in later generations, but there are more than 2,000 square kilometers, has been upgraded to the city, the reason why it appeared in this period, is after the restoration of Yingzhou, the eldest grandson Wuji because there is a river in its territory to divert the Han water, take the meaning of Han out of the dive, only named Qianjiang County.

Of course, it was named so in the Song Dynasty in history, and the reason why the eldest grandson Wuji planned it this way was naturally because Sun Xiangfu planned this piece independently when he divided the Yuantian area.

Now Qianjiang County, its main area is around Benghu Lake in Anyuan Town, this area can just be enclosed into a large field, a separate county, so that it will be very well governed in the future, and Anyuan Town because of a number of rivers staggered, developed waterways, the local people have more than 1,000 households, there is already a foundation for county governance, and the eldest grandson Wuji is so planned.

It is not as big as the Qianjiang River in later generations, because its eastern location belongs to Jingling County, Fuzhou, but there are almost more than 1,200 square kilometers, one square kilometer is calculated by the number of acres of land in later generations, that is 1,500 acres of land, even if only half of the place, 600 square kilometers are developed into shrimp ponds, then more than 900,000 acres of ponds will be dug up, almost as big as the entire Jiuyuan County, this amount of work, directly makes Li Ke a little dizzy.

"Why, do you think these shrimp are not worth it? Tell you about it! Just these hundreds of crayfish, as long as the food is enough, it only takes two or three years to breed, you can fill up all the ponds in your entire county, when the time comes, it is an inexhaustible and inexhaustible shrimp, these shrimp meat, people can eat, these shrimp shells, is the best chicken and duck feed, with it, you can give the entire Shannan Province chicken and duck breeding industry, to provide concentrate feed, which is a steady stream of financial income. By the way, didn't you take over more than 500,000 laborers from Tanmo, and they were all sent over, using winged plows, scraping the soil over and over again, and digging ponds without much effort. ”

"Okay, I'll dig, I hope what you say is true." Li Ke said as he poured the buckets of crayfish into this pond that was several acres large.

500,000 people, digging about one million acres of ponds, the average person actually only needs to dig two acres, but even if there is a two-winged mud such a soil cutting artifact, want to rely on manpower and livestock, to dig two acres of land to more than one meter deep, that is also a very difficult thing, because the deeper, the more difficult to dig, the Jianghan Plain area, usually dig half a meter deep, will come out of the water, in the very beginning of the soil layer can also rely on ploughing cattle, to half a meter later, you can only rely on shovels.

If you want to reach the standard, you have to dig at least two months, and in more than two months, if you use these people to build a field, you can build at least half of the county's place, and use half of the county's construction project to exchange for a pond of about one million acres, Li Ke always feels a little lost, he thinks it is better to directly use Beng Lake to raise these crayfish, but it is just a little more troublesome when fishing.

Sun Xiangfu from later generations has always paid more attention to food safety, he naturally hopes that everyone can eat at ease, and it wants to control the wild breeding of crayfish as much as possible, so as not to eat it, form a disaster, and affect the ecology.

Therefore, even if it is more troublesome now, he also told Zhao He that he must do a good job, after all, it is impossible to sterilize and disinfect a living water lake now, and a large number of wild ones are easy to eat bad stomachs, with the current level of medicine, parasites are not so easy to deal with.

Seeing those crayfish that had been fed in the bucket for half a year went down to the pond, Zhao He was relieved, these crayfish have been raised in the bucket for so long without dying, after many rounds of clean water rinsing, there is basically no parasite on the body, and it can be regarded as a good seed with strong vitality!

However, his current task is not to teach Li Ke to feed crayfish, but to bring out new crops, and Li Shimin plans to use these new crops to feast on a large scale during the sports conference.
