There is nothing in this world that is not a problem that silver cannot solve.

Because in this land, there are people, these simple people, all have a pair of hard-working hands.

On this point, Fang Jifan has an accurate understanding.

Once the steel is made, the railway line is laid, and the future income can be guaranteed.

Zhu Houzhao got Fang Jifan's words, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and his mood was very comfortable.

"I heard that the trading market has gone crazy?" Zhu Houzhao said with a grin.

Fang Jifan said calmly: "This group of damn profiteers is really annoying. ”

…………

The trading market has indeed gone crazy.

Now this trading market is not an exaggeration to say that it is overcrowded, and it has become a place where countless merchants are entrenched.

Actually, this is understandable.

The way we buy and sell has changed dramatically.

The road of the past is no longer passable.

Not only the merchants of Beijing, but even the merchants from nearby states and counties, and even merchants from afar, are almost willing to soak here now.

A special tea room has been set up here, where everyone gets together, gets to know each other, and exchanges various information.

You must know that businessmen are often the most sensitive people in the world to information, and for them, any news may bring great wealth.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of people who come here, and there are thousands or even tens of thousands of people every day.

The goods on display may be traded at any time.

The exchanged information can also be monetized at any time.

Even a paper contract may have passed the hands of several people in a matter of days.

The Xishan Money Village opened here is also the most lively, with countless silver bills, either saved at any time, or cashed out immediately, and the front hall is full of people who are pressed by the press.

This is a new door, and it turns out that it is possible to do business like this.

And the topic of these days is always pig iron.

The price of pig iron, after doubling in one day, has been rising for the next few days.

People are crazy.

Every merchant is trying to find a source of goods.

"Is there pig iron?"

"Old man, look at it, I'm afraid it will continue to rise."

"It's gone up again, it's gone up, it's up three copper coins a catty."

People have witnessed one miracle after another.

Yesterday, he may have been just an unknown businessman, but overnight, his assets doubled, and he became rich overnight, becoming the object of everyone's praise.

In the past, the trading model was a transaction between acquaintances, and even if it was an acquaintance, it was usually only a correspondence.

But here, it is to receive countless messages every day, just like the future generations, a person who has no knowledge, suddenly proficient in the Internet, so, the influx of knowledge began to explode, economic, military, entertainment, almost all information, in just a few months, can make a person who did not understand any military establishment, do not understand any economic activities, become an excellent keyboard economist, military strategist, well-informed person in the keyboard entertainment industry and ...... Six Scholars.

Even a single piece of news from the remote Fujian Provincial Envoy could have been brought here, and it would immediately begin to spread widely.

And now...... Iron...... What about iron.

It is reported that there are many businessmen who colluded with the eunuchs who excavated iron ore in the local area, and it is also rumored that a lot of pig iron is flowing out of the bureau.

However, no one asks where the pig iron comes from, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the pig iron can be exchanged for silver.

Many people, with red eyes, of course...... There are other channels for pig iron, and the merchants have set their sights on the distant gates.

In fact, businessmen are unfamiliar with Guanwai.

But they knew that there were a large number of iron mines outside the Guan, and those iron mines were not run by the government......

That's enough.

In the center of the market is a small circular hall.

It's known as the Trading Center.

But if anyone wants to buy goods, they are willing to let people put up a sign here.

For example, now, this trading center is full of all kinds of signs.

"Collect the finest silk, two or four dollars a horse, seven hundred horses."

"Collect timber, 600 yuan a ......"

Of course, there are more signs, but they are hanging: "Harvest pig iron, one hundred and fifty-two yuan per catty!" ”

The sign was just hung out, but soon, the sign was taken down again: "Pig iron, one hundred and sixty yuan per catty." ”

Seem...... Even so, no one cared, and the sign continued to be hung out: "Harvest pig iron, one hundred and sixty-five yuan per catty!" ”

Like a marquee, one by one, the signs were hung out frantically, and countless businessmen stood under them, looking at the refurbished signs one by one, their eyes were red, and they were almost crazy.

If you have pig iron, I'm afraid that it won't take a few days to get rich.

I heard that now Nishiyama is making steel, and many furnaces have begun to be built, and the pig iron of the future ...... It's just going to go all the way up.

……

And many big owners are ...... at the moment But there is no interest in spending his mind on the purchase of pig iron.

Because it's completely unnecessary.

Almost all the pig iron on the market has been scavenged.

Rather than bothering about acquisitions, it's better to ......

You have to act fast!

It is said that in the Hexi Corridor, some are pig iron...... I also heard that steelmaking is not only pig iron, but also the demand for coal, is also huge, Xuanfu, it is said that there are a large number of exposed coal mines, the government does not regard coal as an official camp, but I am afraid that I have to immediately send someone to Xuanfu, and the local parents and officials have a good relationship, and have to buy some coal mines.

Horse-drawn wagons are ready.

Countless people have been recruited.

There are also all the joints along the way, and you need to send someone to open them immediately.

This road is certainly a long way.

The cost of transportation, not low.

But until now, this trend has continued...... I can't say for sure.

Not only that, but the iron mines and many merchants in various places are also well known.

You must know that although it is a government-run pig iron, it can also be bought and sold, provided that production must be increased.

These businessmen are best at drilling camps.

Which iron mine can increase production and take down the goods, what is the name of the eunuch guarding the town, and where is his home...... Where are you from......

The pig iron from the Hexi Corridor is said to be of the highest quality and the cheapest......

After figuring out the number of roads, there were countless carriages and horses, and they began to set off.

When we set off, the car was loaded with countless food and daily necessities.

It is said that in Hexi, the price of grain there is very high, and the price of many necessities of life is also one or two times that of Kannai.

These things were sent to Hexi, and then returned with pig iron, which, by the calculations of many, was profitable.

Of course, the most important thing is that the advent of the four-wheeled carriage made all this possible.

In the past, horse-drawn carriages carried few goods and were time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But the four-wheeled carriage is different, stable, fast, and has a large loading capacity at the same time.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the conquest of the Tatars outside the Guan, a large number of horses began to pour into the Guannai, and these low-priced, hard-working, and well-fed Mongolian horses were really rare animal power.

It seems that this road is a little farther, but in fact, most of the northern land is plain, and there are almost no too many hills...... A round trip is only a month or two.

This is different from the south, which is mountainous and watery, and may even be a few miles away, with a river and a mountain in the middle, and these miles of road will need to be delayed for a few days.

On that official road, countless carriages and horses have set off one after another before dawn, carrying road guides, or finding letters of recommendation from some big people, and a team of carriages and horses, mighty and endless.

The carriages of the Xishan Carriage and Horse Manufacturing Workshop are now almost in full swing, and the orders have been scheduled for the next year, but people's demand for freight carriages has not stopped.

In order to increase the transportation capacity, the craftsmen worked hard to improve the carriages......

The workshops that make chariots and horses also seem to be preparing to expand their production.

As for the acquisition of bulk pig iron, Wang Jinyuan is willing to spend his blood, the price has risen, and it is still as much as he wants, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is urging urgently, if he delays His Royal Highness the Prince's plan, he will really kill himself.

But......

Look at the accounts carefully......

Wang Jinyuan was also a little confused.

That's not right.

On the surface, it seems that the purchase price of pig iron skyrocketed and cost countless amounts of silver.

But after careful calculation, the sales of horse-drawn carriages have doubled, and due to the large demand for horses, a large number of horses outside the customs in Xishan have also begun to be in short supply. There is also the future, the various minerals of the Hexi Corridor, it seems......

Not to mention, wait for the future...... Old Town ......

Thinking of this, Wang Jinyuan gasped, what's the matter, he didn't suffer a loss.

…………

The enthusiasm in this trading market has not attracted the attention of too many big people, and for the princes of the temple, these indiscriminate transactions are just a matter of Er'er.

But a man, dressed in civilian clothes, appeared at the trade market, and he secretly surveyed the details of every transaction, and then, when he returned home, he began to read the articles of the Wealth of Nations again, and compared what he saw in the daytime.

Under the oil lamp, Wang Bushi's shoulders trembled slightly.

That's right!

All this ...... It's all right.

I don't know what will end up with pig iron, but the result is ...... It must be as I expected.

His face was flushed with excitement, and his body even trembled......

The Wealth of Nations...... What a strange book.

Squinting, Wang Bushi seemed to be looking at a place, but in fact, he was thinking about things.

At this time, he already had a premonition that countless wealth was beckoning to him.

The sky has changed......

The way of the world has changed......

Those fools who still hold the scrolls in the Hanlin Academy.

It seems that it has not been understood until now.

Arrogant...... It's really a taboo for people!
