Hao Fenglou's temperament is like this, he came back every day without prior notice, always giving people a surprise, if he had been notified before, at this time, the port would have been crowded.

It's not that Hao Fenglou doesn't like fame, it's not that he doesn't like such jubilant scenes, it's just that he's a little lazy, too lazy to socialize with people, and do those inconsequential greetings.

At this point, Hao Zheng and Hao Fenglou are different, Hao Zheng is best at it, but it is to deal with people, if Langshan people's view of Hao Fenglou is awe, then Hao Zheng is respectful, maybe there was an experience of being a businessman, so no matter what Hao Zheng does, he cares about the feelings of others, he doesn't like to be high, and he doesn't want to refuse people thousands of miles away, even if someone comes to the door, some things can't help it, Hao Zheng will try to make the other party not offended, so many people who come to beg for things, Often when Hao Zheng is sent out, most of them are not sad, even if things are not done, they feel happy.

The father and son have completely different personalities, but they just complement each other, so if there is a plea or etiquette, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Hao Fenglou's father, as for things like charging ahead, Hao Fenglou will be remembered.

In this regard, Hao Fenglou also has a vague complaint in his letter to Hao Zheng, naturally, this complaint is just a joke, he has a specialization in the art industry, he is not good at dealing with him, his self-esteem is too strong, sometimes he likes to speak with thorns, regardless of the feelings of others, what can be done?

On the wharf, the port is here, the prosperity is still the same, countless feet carry the goods in the wharf shuttle, and the horse-drawn carriages transporting goods in the distance are congested at the street entrance. It's always been like this here, it's always congested. It's all noisy.

Hao Fenglou had long been used to it, and he didn't take the car with the guards. I didn't ride a horse, I simply walked, everyone was a little hungry, Hao Fenglou said: "There is a restaurant in front, the roast duck tastes quite authentic, I haven't eaten it for a long time, let's go there to rest." ”

When everyone heard this, their spirits were shaken.

When I arrived at the restaurant, the owners and guys here were all familiar faces. Although they have seen Hao Fenglou, they do not know the identity of Hao Fenglou, but they only see a group of officers and soldiers coming in, and they do not care, since the start of the war, inside and outside this Langshan City, there are many officers and soldiers wearing military uniforms, some go out to buy, some on vacation. There were also those who came back from the front to visit their relatives, so the men hurriedly welcomed them in.

Most of the people sitting in this restaurant are merchants from the sea trade, and everyone is sitting here. After eating some wine, the merchant can speak well. Now that the wine is too drunk, it can't help but chatter.

Hao Fenglou and others occupied a few tables. I heard a few businessmen next to me talking in a low voice, and said, "This railway bond." It is said that it will be sold tomorrow, one is three cents, which is more stable than the previous war bonds, but the victory lies in the steady income, this time it is said that there are 50 million taels of bonds on sale, and it is only the first batch. ”

The other said: "Brother, silver is not silver in the first place, a few years ago, one or two silver could buy twenty chickens, how many can you buy now?" Do you know how much silver flows into our Langshan every year? Say it and scare you to death, I have an uncle who works in the Bureau of Commerce, based on the most guaranteed statistics, a year is hundreds of millions of silver, from the West to the Japanese country, North Korea, from Tianzhu to the Great Food, even if the trade is cut off inland, these countless gold and silver are like a flood pouring in, these gold and silver are redistributed to various countries, importing countless timber, iron ore and the like, and then selling countless cloth and iron tools, how huge is the interest rate difference? Ten catties of pig iron is only one or two silver, but if these ten catties of pig iron are forged out of stainless steel and sold out, it is the price of four taels of silver, if these stainless steel are made into firecrackers, this price will be doubled several times, now everyone does not use gold and silver, the vast majority of them are banknotes issued by the bank, although this money can be exchanged for full gold and silver at any time, but the price is still rising all the way, Chen Xue has a special monetary research institute, and the daily study is this, which is called inflation, As long as we Langshan's trading is big, it is inevitable, so which, I think, there is surplus money or buy bonds worthwhile, put them in the money bank, after all, it is still depreciated every year, take it to do business, after all, there is still a risk, you have to move out a little silver to make a guarantee for yourself, only this bond, there is a lesson from the war bond, but also at ease, not afraid of default, to the end of the year, can be redeemed at any time, and interest, and prevent depreciation, now, everyone is discussing this matter, many people have prepared the silver, Just wait for tomorrow's exchange. ”

The person who spoke before also hesitated: "To be honest, the people who bought this bond are all coffins of their lives, is this railway reliable?" ”

"Why is it unreliable? Now that the imperial court has decreed, these two Guangzhou, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are all fiefdoms, where there are many people, what is the most lacking? It's not about being connected! In the past, things in Lang Son went there, relying on horse teams, back and forth, I don't know how much it cost, how much money was spent on building the railway, how many goods were transported every day in the future, and how many workshops were to be built there? With the road, it is a lot of silver into the account, no matter how it will not be lost, I will give you the calculation, the same car of cloth, if you use a carriage, you have to hire grooms, guards, this has to have two or three manpower, if you go to Sichuan, it will take a year and a half to go back and forth, these two or three people have to eat and drink along the way, but also to live in a store, horses have to eat horse material, and may even encounter risks, this freight alone, I am afraid that there are no seventy or eighty taels of silver can not be beaten, but if there is a railway, send a car, that is hundreds of carriages of goods, Even if a car is fifty taels of silver, everyone is willing to take the railway, this trip down, but it is five or six thousand taels of silver, what is this? It's picking up money! Therefore, building roads is expensive, but it is a million profits, and I am afraid that people will not pay it back? ”

So the man nodded, and felt that it made sense.

Hao Fenglou listened to it and couldn't help laughing.

In fact, in later generations, the so-called infrastructure construction, basically stable losses do not make money, the profit is not high, so this has become a big problem, but in this era, there is no competition from the means of transportation such as cars and airplanes, the transportation of the railway has basically formed a monopoly, even if the price is expensive, but everyone not only feels that it is a loss, but also feels that it is a good advantage, so at present, the railway is indeed a matter of great profit.

What the Hao family has to do now is nothing more than to suck money like crazy and smash all these countless funds on the railroad tracks. (To be continued......)
