Chapter 689: Business Opportunities in Chaos
Unlike the Song army on the Hedong Road in Yanmen Pass, Feihu and Jingcheng successively successfully blocked the Jin soldiers, the resistance of the Song army on the Hebei Road can be described as repeated defeats, the 30,000 Song troops on the middle road led by the seed division were attacked by the two Jin soldiers and were forced to retreat quickly south, but they were still caught up by Wanyan Zongwang's army in Raoyang County, Shenzhou, and the army led by the seed division to fight back, but finally retreated under the repeated impact of 10,000 iron cavalry, and the Song army was defeated and almost all the troops were wiped out.
Three days later, the 50,000 army of Yan Yanmu was killed to the Daimyo's Mansion, and the 50,000 Xiang troops guarding the Daimyo Mansion collapsed without a fight, and the Daimyo County fled all over the city.
However, the Jin soldiers did not attack Daming County, but turned around and entered Bozhou, and the Jin soldiers reached the north bank of the Yellow River.
..........
The news of the defeat of the Song army on the third road in Hebei, and the arrival of the Jin soldiers and iron cavalry in the Yellow River reached the capital, and Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, who was presiding over the court meeting, vomited blood and fainted on the spot in the main hall, and was rescued into the deep palace, and the entire government and the opposition fell into extreme panic.
There is a rumor in the capital, the tide of evacuating the capital has been carried out privately by a few people before, and has begun to become a large-scale public evacuation, almost all rich families are looking for a way out in the south, and the price of silver has broken through the high price of one or two silver for five thousand wen, reaching five thousand five hundred wen for one tael of silver, and gold is even more valuable and marketless, even in the black market can not be exchanged for gold.
Li Daqi has been quite worried these days, Tang Zhengzong has not come back from Tangyin County, although the Jin soldiers have not yet reached Xiangzhou, but I heard that the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River can no longer be found, and Tang Zhengzong is likely to fall into the chaos.
At noon, Li Daqi came to Hongqiao Tea Restaurant as usual, the business of the tea restaurant was still hot, and the businessmen wanted to get the latest news from the tea restaurant. ”
The news that Hedong Road is in charge of Li Yanqing has already spread throughout the capital, and Li Yanqing's identity as the small proprietor of Baoyanzhai has long been known, so when Li Daqi appeared, many people wanted to get some inside information from Li Daqi.
Li Daqi arched his hand again and again: "Everyone, I, like everyone, don't know anything about the situation on Hedong Road. ”
Li Daqi explained for a long time, and then everyone dispersed, he came to his fixed seat and sat down, and the shopkeeper Zhang Da of Wan's rice shop opposite smiled: "Li Yuan's words are insincere!" Last time, you also told me that there was a pigeon letter exchange between you and Taiyuan Baoyan Zhai. ”
"Shopkeeper Zhang misunderstood, now there is no pigeon letter out in Taiyuan, I heard that all carrier pigeons, letter eagles have been controlled, at most one-way to send letters, the news of the capital to Taiyuan, so I didn't lie, I really don't know the situation in Taiyuan."
"I see, I misunderstood me."
Li Daqi asked again: "Has Wan's rice shop been withdrawn?" ”
The shopkeeper Zhang smiled bitterly, "How can things be so easy!" ”
"Didn't your proprietor's family withdraw?"
"Only the family members have withdrawn, and everyone else is here! If you have a big family and a big business, don't you want the wealth you have accumulated over decades? ”
"Also, the most important thing now is not to retreat."
Some time ago, the most important thing was to evacuate the family, and now it has entered a deep retreat, that is, the retreat of property, the capital of the Song Dynasty Tokyo has accumulated nearly half of the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, and the eunuch family and the imperial relatives have accumulated a lot of wealth, which has been precipitated in the form of land, houses and copper coins.
Therefore, when the war came, everyone wanted to replace their wealth with portable treasures, and high-value items such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., became the target of everyone's pursuit, and the first thing to disappear was gold and jewelry, and a slightly larger amount of silver became the target of everyone's pursuit.
Now whoever has gold and silver in his hands can buy valuable resources at a low price, but the rumors of moving the capital are getting stronger and stronger, so that the housing prices in the capital have plummeted, and the house of 50,000 yuan and five acres can now be bought for only 1,000 taels of silver.
For businessmen, real estate is no longer rare, now everyone is chasing gold and silver, in the hands of each big businessman, who does not have hundreds of thousands of dollars of precipitation, how to transfer the money safely, is the main evacuation now.
"How much silver did your proprietor get?" Li Daqi took a sip of tea and asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head, "Now that there is no silver everywhere, the proprietor is going to drive me crazy, can proprietor Li even me a little?" I'll exchange it with you for one to seven! ”
Li Daqi also smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the big shopkeeper, I now have more than 100,000 yuan in my hand that can't be exchanged for silver, and I have suffered a heavy loss!" ”
"Li Yuanwai said with a smile, I'm afraid the most discerning person in the capital is Li Yuanwai, Li Yuanwai began to exchange gold and silver five years ago, unlike my proprietor, nearly a million yuan smashed in his hands, that is called crying without tears."
The shopkeeper sighed, "Forget it, I'll go and ask the money shop again!" ”
Zhang Da's shopkeeper got up and left, Li Daqi drank a few sips of tea, and at this time, a middle-aged man sat down opposite him. ”
This Xiang Thorn History is the nephew of Queen Xiang, named Xiang Lun, the official Xuzhou Thorn History, of course, only as a virtual official, Xiang Jia is the richest man in the capital, Xiang Lun is the head of the Xiang family's capital industry, and his status in the Xiang family is very high.
Li Daqi knew him, he was dealt with when he sold Yujie Baoyanzhai, Yujie Baoyanzhai sold 10,000 taels of gold to the Xiang family, and today I look back at this transaction, it is simply shocking, it is said that someone is willing to use one million yuan
Exchange for 10,000 taels of gold.
"Li Yuanwai, long time no see!" Xiang Lun smiled slightly.
"Xiang Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Daqi smiled and nodded, he muttered a little in his heart, could it be that the Yujie store regretted it to his home?
"I went to Baoyanzhai just now, and the people in the store said you might be here, so I rushed here again."
"Is there anything wrong with the proprietor looking for me?"
Xiang Lun nodded, "I want to make a deal with proprietor Li!" ”
"Xiang Dongzhu also wants to buy Baoyan Zhai rouge?"
"No, I just came back from Qiantang County, Hangzhou, I plan to buy land by the West Lake, but I found that it was late, the land by the West Lake has long been sold, I asked the government, and learned that Li Yuanwai is the largest landlord in the West Lake, with 2,000 acres of land near the lake, Li Yuanwai can transfer 300 acres to our Xiangjia, I am willing to buy it at the price of 1,000 taels of silver per acre."
At that time, the land price by the West Lake was the lowest in history, only ten yuan per mu, and ten yuan was 7,700 yuan, a little more than one tael of silver, and now Xiang Jia is willing to buy it at a price nearly 1,000 times, which shows that the price of land in Hangzhou has risen violently.
Li Daqi immediately realized something, and asked cautiously, "Has the relocation of the capital been decided?" ”
Xiang Lun looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "There is news from the palace that the official family has decided to move Nanjing to Hangzhou, and Ying Tianfu will remove the Beijing number, this is top secret news, and it must not be leaked." ”
Li Daqi hesitated, if he really moved the capital to Hangzhou, a thousand taels of silver per mu of land would still be slightly cheaper, and it would be by the West Lake!
Xiang Lun smiled again: "I won't buy Li Yuanwai's land for nothing, didn't Li Yuanwai want to buy Alum Lou a few days ago?" I can build a bridge. ”
Li Daqi didn't want to buy alum building, but wanted to buy the brand of alum building, he wanted to build another alum building in Hangzhou, now the house price has plummeted, Li Daqi has bought a lot of valuable resources.
For example, the Zhu Skull Teahouse on Yujie, Li Daqi bought it at a price of five thousand taels of silver, of course, five thousand taels of silver was not to buy a teahouse, he bought this brand, that is, he could also build the same Zhu Skull Teahouse in the capital, as well as the brand and recipe of Granny Cao's meatloaf, he also bought it with five thousand taels of silver.
These are century-old brands, precious resources that can't be bought with any amount of money, and at this time, the other party is in urgent need of silver, so they finally let go.
But what Li Daqi wants to buy most is Alum Tower, he has been in contact with it a few times, and has been rejected by Alum Tower, if it is an ordinary businessman's assets, it is possible to trade, but Alum Lou is obviously not, Li Daqi inquired, Alum Tower's background is the Chai family, and even has something to do with today's son, he had to die of this heart.
Li Daqi heard that Xiang Lun was willing to build a bridge, so he perked up and asked, "The Chai family is willing to sell?" ”
Xiang Lun laughed, "Alum Tower was not the Chai family's property three years ago. ”
Li Daqi also seemed to understand something, and asked tentatively, "Could it be your Xiangjia?" ”
Xiang Lun said with a smile: "That's true, but it's impossible to sell all the brands of Alum Tower to Xiangjia, I can transfer half of it to Li Yuanwai, and I and Li Yuanwai will build a new Alum Tower by the West Lake." ”
"And what about the price?"
Xiang Lun said unhurriedly: "I can send half of the alum building to Li Dongzhu, without taking a penny, there is only one condition, Li Yuanwai West Lake land is sold for 500 acres to the Xiang family, or the price just now." ”
Xiang Lun's calculations are extremely fine, the residential land by the West Lake has long been carved up, and it has basically been bought by the powerful, but the biggest landlord is Li Daqi, and now Li Yanqing has a heavy army on Hedong Road, and Xiang Jia does not dare to use power to exert pressure, he can only use lure, businessmen! As long as the price is high, Li Daqi will definitely consider it, and Xiang Lun will even give half of the alum building to Li Daqi. ”
Li Daqi pondered for a moment and said, "I can sell five hundred acres of land to the Xiang family, but I want to trade it in gold!" ”
Xiang Lun immediately readily agreed, "Then we will make up our minds!" ”
