After a brief chat, Xiao Tian took Qi Jiguang and Li Yan to inspect Xia Ke Island together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qi Jiguang has been staying in the barracks since he came to Xia Ke Island, and he is not familiar with this island, Xiao Tian thinks it is necessary to take him around the island to let him know how good he really is.

This is what every outsider has to do when he goes to the island, and seeing the surprised look of others, his own vanity will be greatly satisfied.

And this Qi Jiguang, as his right-hand man, has nothing to hide from him, and it is better for him to understand some things thoroughly.

In addition, Xiaotian has also opened the island for more than a year, and this period of time is a period of rapid development of the Great Voyage, many of Xiaotian's original familiar places have become unfamiliar, this year, he can only formulate the general direction, can not be carefully controlled, he feels that he needs to visit.

After more than a year of development, the island has indeed changed a lot.

The first is that Xiaotian clearly feels that the population on the island is getting denser and denser. In the past, it was a cargo transit point for the entire ocean. Now, the people who eat at sea have moved their homes to Xiaotian, which has become the center of the entire sea, which means that the population that used to be distributed throughout the sea is now concentrated here.

As the population increases, a new lucrative industry will inevitably emerge, and that is real estate.

As long as you want to make money at sea, you will inevitably have to run to Xiaotian, after all, going to sea is dangerous and hard, where is better than opening a store here, safe and comfortable, and the money is not necessarily less.

In addition, those large and small forces, do you have to build a stronghold on the island again, can you be embarrassed to build a small one? If you have a little money and live on this island, do you have to have a property? You said that if you are a big shopkeeper and still rent someone else's house to live in, is it also quite a loss?

The land on Xia Ke Island is very valuable, the residential area can be stronger, and those commercial areas that do trade are not an exaggeration to describe it as an inch of land, you don't have to be too expensive, and you may not be able to buy it if you take out the gold.

In the past, almost all the shops on this island were cabbage prices, and they were given to these residents for free, because at that time, almost all the residents on this island were family members of Xiaotian's subordinates, and they were not outsiders. Now, these old residents can be regarded as having an addiction to sitting on the ground.

Among these old people, there are still a few who are really willing and able to do business after all, most of them choose to sell their own stores, a small store of ten square meters, a turn is more than a hundred taels of silver, these old residents have three or five stores are not a few, this day the silver that fell from the sky fell on the head, and this is the feeling.

The residential area is similar, there are large and small forces on this island, and there are even three or five people who run a single gang. Of course, not everyone can afford to buy a house, so what if you can't afford to buy a house? You can't sleep on the streets, you have no choice but to rent a house. If you are rich, you can make money for one person, if you are in poor conditions, you can have a room for a few people, and if it is really difficult, you can have a room for more than a dozen people, just like the ant tribe in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in later generations.

Many of the island's aborigines saw the business opportunities and transformed their homes into dormitories, where they could live a good life by collecting rent every month as apartments.

Inside and outside here, the real estate industry on Xia Ke Island actually has a lot of silver, and none of this silver has fallen into Xiaotian's pocket, in fact, as long as Xiaotian wants to make money, he has at least a dozen ways to let all this silver flow into his hands.

But he didn't do this, the so-called clothes are not as good as the new people are not as good as the old, now the greater the power of this Xiaotian, the more comfortable these old people are, and the people who can make money in this real estate are the old people who are earlier than Xiaotian, and the earlier they are with Xiaotian, the more they will earn.

Among them, the one who earned the most was the two hundred guards he had at the beginning, each of these people could hand over their names, and they already had feelings for each other, and they were afraid that other teams would have different opinions if they were directly given a salary increase.

On the other hand, those who join his team after he really develops will at most barely have a place to live and ensure that they are not slaughtered.

Xiao Tian is not short of money at all now, and this fat water is not left in the field of outsiders after all, so it is regarded as a benefit for the old brothers, and Xiao Tian does not feel distressed.

In addition to these shops, Xiaotian also saw many newly built workshops, and asked Li Yan with great interest: "Did you build these workshops?" ”

Li Yan replied proudly: "How can you, you are not here, how dare I spend money indiscriminately?" These were built by those outsiders, and we collected a lot of money just by collecting land taxes, and I haven't touched a cent of the money we've earned in the past year, and I've saved it all."

Looking at Li Yan who was very excited, with an expression of praise written on his face, Xiao Tian sighed helplessly in his heart, alas, this stupid girl, her eyelids are really shallow, and she can't understand such a thing, this land tax is only a few children, and the silver will not be spent and will not give birth.

That's it, all the good positions are occupied by the family, and if we want to open a factory in the future, we can't drive them all away.

For the current Xiaotian, the matter of trade, there is not much interest, the imperial court is now officially open to the sea, everyone can profit from the sea trade, as long as the provincial government is coastal, they can make their own decisions, the city has been completely formalized, Xiaotian has also lost the monopoly advantage, whether it is shipping or purchasing, it is no longer necessary to take his single-plank bridge.

And in order to restrict him, the imperial court kicked him out of the city since Zhao Wenhua died, and Yang Jinshui was also transferred back to Da Nei, and I heard that he was also transferred to the master of ceremonies, which can be regarded as a high promotion for him, but Xiao Tian is no longer able to speak in the city boss.

This can be regarded as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but the generous Xiaotian said that he fully understands and accepts, checks and balances, it is strange that the court does not control him, but Xiaotian is confident that the court will not be able to touch his eggs.

As long as Xiaotian thinks, the imperial court can't restrain him at all, and now the two largest maritime trade markets, Xia Ke Island and Macau are Xiaotian's territory, the goods in the Yangtze River Delta have to go from Xia Ke Island, and the goods in the Pearl River Delta have to go from Macao, and the only Dengzhou Pass that Xiao Tian has not controlled can also go to the Wa Kingdom, which is Wang Zhi's territory.

Therefore, the city is a fart in Xiaotian's eyes, and he still has the final say in this market.

However, Xiaotian has no idea of participating in trade now, except for the necessary market management expenses, he will not earn any more money, and he is happy to let you succeed, and he also seems to be well-behaved.

The year before last, when he monopolized it by himself, he could still do more than 10 million taels of silver in trade. Last year, it was obviously a good market, but Xiaotian only made more than three million taels.

What Xiao Tian wants to do is to blow the sea breeze of the Ming Dynasty, and let him earn the money by himself, how can this wind blow? It's not that Xiaotian can't do more, but Xiaotian understands the truth that eating alone is not fat.

Besides, in fact, Xiao Tian made a lot of money in trade last year, although he didn't do much trade directly, but he could provide services to those who did trade.

You have to have merchant ships to do maritime trade, do you have to buy merchant ships from Xiaotian? You don't know that the route has to have a navigator, does the navigator want to ask for it from a young day? You have to be escorted when you play a long voyage, who else can guarantee your safety except Xiaotian?

The sum of these miscellaneous items is actually not a small amount of input, and it costs millions of taels of silver, and there is no need to settle accounts with the imperial court.

Of course, a business of several million taels of silver, excluding the cost, will make less than a million profits, although it is considerable, Xiaotian didn't take it too seriously.

Xiao Tian no longer has the energy to do trade. (To be continued.) )
