Chapter 918: Nanjing doesn't need to be attacked, let's do business!
When Zhu Zilong stepped off the painting boat, the sun was already setting in the west. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When night fell, a group of Donglin students and Fushe students hugged the red people (the red people are to sleep with them, and the Qing people only play the piano and sing songs), entered the boudoir, and began xxoo.
The picture in front of him made Zhu Zilong speechless even more, these two generations of Da Ming Fu are hopeless.
Alas, it was late at night.
Today's inspection is over, and it's time to find a place to sleep.
Zhu Zilong looked around, the ten-mile Qinhuai River in the twilight, everywhere was a light dance of ribbons, the lightboats were like a forest, and the wine on both sides of the river was on display.
From time to time, a sedan chair passed by, and a curtain was lifted from the inside, revealing Qianqian's jade hands and half a delicate pink face...... Oh, yes, that girl over there is so pretty.
I'll sleep with her tonight, try it.
So, the next second. While laughing at Zhu Zilong, who was laughing at others for his undisciplined conduct, his own temperament was actually negative, and when he put up his wallet, he ran to sex (life). Sweat!
Man, everybody's the same.
Especially the half-dragon people, the world is out of my generation, and the years of entering the rivers and lakes are urging.
In the talk and laughter of the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in life.
Ti (younger brother) straddles and waives ghost rain, and the white bones fly like mountain birds.
Dust is like a tide, people are like water, only sigh a few (beautiful) people in the rivers and lakes.
The hero road is far away and the applause is near, don't ask the common people to ask about sex (blessing).
Heaven and earth have an end, the wind has faith, and the sea is immeasurable and there are no people! (All into the green (upstairs)!)
Embarrassment!
After a few days of secretly inspecting the city of Nanjing, Zhu Zilong spent a total of more than 100,000 taels of silver.
When you hear it, you might think that he must be pretending to be everywhere and throwing money.
Actually, it's not!
It's because the prices in Nanjing are really rising to the sky. Especially near the Qinhuai River!
What, don't believe?
Look at it, basic prices. One stone of brown rice costs more than ten taels of silver, how can it scare you?
If you don't believe it, you have to face reality.
Because of the spread of the war, all transportation and sea transportation were cut off, and grain and materials from the south could not be transported through, and things from outside could not come in. It can be said that the city of Nanjing is eating old rice and living every day!
Although the north is full of wars, the south is not at peace.
Now the Wenxiangjiao rebel army has swelled to hundreds of thousands, fighting guerrilla warfare everywhere, and from time to time it also runs to the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River. The actual control area of the Nanjing Imperial Court in Jiangbei has been compressed to the line along the river!
In order to avoid the displaced people and the disaster of war, the gentry and wealthy people from all over Jiangbei packed up their fines and went to Nanjing to avoid the disaster of the war.
Nanjing, which originally had a population of only 800,000, now has a population of 2 to 3 million.
The wealthy gentlemen who fled usually carried large sums of gold and silver with them, and then settled down in Nanjing. However, they all brought money, but not food.
Naturally, it has raised the price of goods, and the price of all kinds of food.
In addition, because of the panic caused by the war, the locals are also desperately sweeping goods.
This is like the housing price in China in the 21st century, obviously this month's housing price is still 10,000 yuan per square meter. As a result, everyone rushed and stocked. As a result, the house price may become 30,000 or 40,000 square meters next month.
Although silver cannot be formed like the paper money economy, with crazy money printing, huge inflation.
However, money accumulates and flows rapidly, and the quantity of commodities has its laws of production. As a result, when it is faced with the total amount of social funds, there will always be a shortage.
In addition, silver can't be eaten as food, and suddenly there are so many rich people in Nanjing. Naturally, this money is worthless!
It's like, when the Soviet Union collapsed, did Russia go to war?
Didn't the ruble in the hands of the Soviet people depreciate into waste paper all of a sudden? The silver in the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty is also the truth.
There is a famous saying about the market economy:
(Compared with the total amount of social funds, the total number of goods on the market is always in short supply.) )
In times of war and times of peace, those are the two differences between heaven and earth.
Because when the crisis comes, everyone will want to keep not money in their hands, but supplies and food.
As a result, people instinctively put all their money into the retail market and hoarded goods. So as not to have money in the future, and not be able to buy food and daily necessities.
This is easy to form a kind of soaring prices, herd fear.
Even if it is the US imperialist in the 21st century, if this kind of thing happens in China, it will not be able to withstand such drastic changes.
Suppose, in a short time.
Tens of trillions of dollars poured out of the stock market, funds, banks, real estate, these "monetary reservoirs", rushing to the retail market, frantically sweeping goods.
Then, the market order will collapse in an instant. It doesn't matter if you're a superpower or a cosmic power, you'll be done like this.
Here's a point, why are China's housing prices rising every day?
Not to mention population and other factors, the Bank of China has been printing money every day in recent years. How many banknotes does the state have in its hands!
More than a hundred trillion, big brother!
However, with more than 100 trillion yuan, it is impossible to send money to the people for free. It is only by letting the people take out a large number of loans to buy houses that they can consume at one time, so much inventory currency.
Therefore, don't look at the temporary collapse of China's housing prices, it will have to rise sooner or later.
…………
In the same way, a similar situation occurred in the city of Nanjing at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
These are only short-term price fluctuations. As for the long-term trend of price changes, it is even more worrying!
In the modern 21st century, in the face of such a terrible situation, governments will have to use strategic material reserves to stabilize prices and avoid turmoil.
However, did the Ming Dynasty have this condition? Does Nanjing Donglin Masato have this ability?
The answer is no, and even if there is, they will not care about the lives of ordinary people.
Although the current Jiangnan has not been affected, whether it is the war spreading in the north of the Yangtze River, or the confrontation between the two emperors, the situation in the world where many emperors play mahjong.
In the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, it is impossible not to panic.
Only the Donglin Party people who have money at home will drink wine and meat every day, and they will have wine today and get drunk today.
It can be said that even if Zhu Zilong does not attack Nanjing.
Let it develop freely, and within a few months, Nanjing Donglin Zhengfu will collapse by himself.
Thinking about it like this, Zhu Zilong simply laughed.
It seems that a chengguan doesn't need to be arranged, as long as he waits for a few months, he can smoothly take over Nanjing and the property of everyone here.
It didn't take long.
Zhu Zilong stayed in Nanjing for a few more days, and as expected, things were the same as he thought.
The price of rice in Nanjing began to rise explosively, from a dozen taels of silver three days ago to 20 taels of silver per stone. I went to go, and it was only a hundred kilograms of grain in one stone, and the annual income of the people of Daming was only so much.
How do they live?
Soon, the price of pork also rose to a few taels of silver per catty, which is equivalent to a hundred times that of the Wanli years!
The money in the hands of many people has been turned into waste without realizing it. The people and the middle class in Nanjing had a look of despair in their eyes. Only the Donglin Party members still eat, drink and have fun every day, ignoring the pain of the world. Not grounded!
For this hyperpose, inflationary explosion. I only know that the Donglin Party students and others who read the Bagu Wen do not understand economics at all.
Under their control, the new imperial court with the policy of "lightly dispensing with small endowments" even added fuel to the fire.
Many Donglin party members and big landlords secretly instructed their families to hoard and further raise grain prices...... In order to make huge profits.
Zhu Zilong, who watched it, was dumbfounded and secretly surprised.
Are they in, tm, fancy to death?
took out the computer and calculated, Zhu Zilong unexpectedly found that if he now went from the fiefdom through the canal, he would have extra grain. In other words, the corn brought back from modern times is transported to the vicinity of Nanjing to be sold.
Jingran has dozens of times the profit, and I will go. Compared with Lao Tzu crossing the two worlds to resell, it also saves time and effort?
No, there is no need to attack Nanjing for the time being. As soon as the city was destroyed, these rich people scattered in all directions, but they could not concentrate on snatching the money in their hands.
It's better to be, that's all, to keep false security.
Let more and more wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River come to Nanjing, and then with the higher and higher prices, their own goods and grain from Shandong can be smuggled in.
Earn a fortune!
Well, that's right, just do it.
So, a few days later.
On a Yangtze River port not far from Nanjing, a grain merchant from other provinces mysteriously appeared.
A private military camp that has just been completed, and countless soldiers who claim to be the Kingdom of Heaven are guarding here. Considering that there are too many forces to claim the emperor in these years, who knows where this heavenly kingdom is?
As long as there are materials and food to sell, the Donglin Party people in Nanjing are surprisingly not nosy. (Actually, a rebate was given!) )
This so-called Tianwai Provincial Business Group only does two kinds of business.
One is the population, that is, you can't survive, or your owner thinks you're useless and sells you. Collect everything here, and ship it away when you give it.
One is to sell materials and grain, the price is dozens of times higher than usual, and the main business is the rich people. If you have the ability, send it to Nanjing or other places, and you can sell it at a higher price, and everyone will be happy.
The camp of the Heavenly Kingdom Riverside Trading Bank attracted the attention of countless people, especially the refugees, as soon as it opened.
The hungry are often the most terrifying, and there have been attempts to storm the camps during the previous days of relief for the homeless. However, the fierce soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven, with their swords and guns in their hands and whistling leather whips, made the refugees honest.
After all, it's still Jiangnan, and the refugees haven't completely collapsed to the point where they haven't socialized.
The intimidating power of the official and the sword and gun still has a strong effect in their hearts.
