The news that the Xu family gave birth to a son spread far and wide, this matter is very interesting, many officials, both want to go to congratulate, but feel that it is inappropriate, the more those officials who run to the Xu Mansion to show favor when the black light is blind, the more they dare not move. On the contrary, Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing heard the news and came together.

The two of them moved, and the rest of the people followed up one after another, and for a while, the carriages and horses at the door of Xu's house were like dragons, and the guests gathered, if it wasn't for the possibility of today, Xu Chang took precautions and prepared in advance, otherwise it would have to turn the sky upside down.

It was a lively day, and for a while, it became the focus of public opinion, anyway, the surname Xu gave birth to a son, so he was the champion of the prince, the governor of Zhejiang, and his father was still the commander of Jinyiwei, this Xu family is a legend in Beijing itself, even if there are people who are not angry in their hearts, they secretly curse Xu someone's son for not having an asshole, but it doesn't matter, at least they have to laugh when they enter the door of the Xu family, at least they have to laugh and say a word obediently to the prince Wandai.

It's just that behind this excitement, another exciting moment has emerged.

As soon as the text of the crusade came out, Ruyifang suddenly thundered with joy.

Get rich!

What is most needed to start a war? Material!

Even if the imperial court does not come forward to buy materials, it adopts the method of requisition, but in any case, resources are resources, resources are fixed assets, although there will be a steady stream of production, but after all, productivity is limited.

And once the imperial court occupies most of the resources, the resources on the market will naturally become in short supply, for example, grain, so many people do not produce, next year's grain production will definitely be reduced, although the conscription and officers and soldiers are supported by the imperial court, but the imperial court's grain is not conjured. Merchants who have grain in their hands are still afraid that the old grain will not be sold?

In addition, there is cloth, which is now produced in many workshops, but there are many sales outlets, on the one hand, to meet the needs of ordinary people, and on the other hand, to meet the pacification envoys by sea. Now, a large number of manpower has been transferred to the war, which makes it inevitable that the self-sufficient production of cloth will be reduced, and the sales of cloth will also be greatly favored.

Of course. Not to mention iron products such as pig iron.

At this moment, Ruyifang has set off wave after wave of **.

One by one, the brands are hung out, but unfortunately they are not red cards for peddling, but they are all green cards for acquisition, and the goods are in short supply. Prices are rising, who wants to peddle at this time, but many people need to hoard goods.

And so. The price of goods has risen repeatedly, and the demand has almost reached the point of infinite increase.

Rising prices are not a good thing, but for the workshop owners. But it is a great benefit, after all, the goods produced are in short supply. Naturally, there is an incentive to speed up and expand production.

Nowadays, many merchants who sell goods have also begun to look at the merchants who are producing, and some even go directly to Zhejiang and Tianjin with silver to buy land, set up workshops, and recruit craftsmen.

The more workshops there are, the more craftsmen and apprentices are needed, and as a last resort, merchants have to pay better wages in order to compete for manpower, and while prices rise, labor also rises imperceptibly.

It's just that this kind of rise has further compressed the space of landlords and tenants, after all, in the past, they could still support it, such as ordinary tenants, who could have filled their stomachs, and naturally had no other ideas, but seeing people from the same village entering the city, they earned twice as much silver as him or even three or four times, who would want to continue to live in the countryside?

So, the tenants moved their minds, and the landlords had to keep increasing the weight, in order to retain the tenants, try their best to come up with more benefits, until they can no longer bear this kind of employment price, although the price of grain has also risen slightly, but after all, the profit of grain prices is still in the hands of the merchants, who are the merchants? If you don't eat your bones, it's good, they have always bought low and sold high, keeping the price of your grain to the lowest, and then changing hands and selling it again.

Therefore, although the price of grain has risen a lot, the profit from the price of grain sold by the landlords is small.

Ruyifang here, timely launched the sale of land, these land, are Ruyifang has long been purchased in a big way, after the acquisition, the construction of sewers, digging canals for sewage, but also built roads, built a wharf nearby, in Tianjin and Zhejiang, Ruyifang in more than a year, has bought a large number of such land at low prices, after some packaging, now all on the brand.

"Cixi Shiyan Township No. A piece of land, covering an area of 20 acres, near the road, three miles to connect the wharf, within a radius of several miles, there are woodyards, textile workshops, iron mills seven, convenient transportation, and a truck line."

"A piece of land in No. B Shiyan Township, Cixi, covers an area of 37 acres, connects the road, connects the wharf at five miles, and there are seven workshops nearby, and the transportation is convenient and ......"

Keeping pace with the times, taking precautions, has always been the style of Ruyifang, of course, these twenty or thirty taels of silver per mu of land purchased, the price is not low, now the sellers listed here, often as high as more than 190 taels of silver, is definitely a huge profit in the windfall profits, although these lands have found a lot of labor to level, repair, some simple construction, a change of hands, is ten times twenty times the profit.

Even so, these lands have been robbed like crazy, everyone knows that now the demand is huge, no matter what workshop to open, the silver will not be lost, since it will not lose money, then this business is obviously to be done, the merchants of Jingshi Ruyifang, relative to Tianjin, Zhejiang, are all foreigners, after all, they are not very familiar with there, let them go to Tianjin, Zhejiang to buy land, not only worried, but also have a lot of troubles.

And Ruyi Fang sees this opportunity, Ruyi Fang sells the land, often has a large number of workshops gathered, from the Ruyi Fang hands to buy the land, if there is any problem in the future, at least there is Ruyi Fang can be a guarantee.

In addition, if you go to Zhejiang and Tianjin to buy land in person, you have to hire people to level the ground, dig ditches, and maybe even bear the cost of building a road to the wharf, if the address is too remote, you may not even be able to recruit craftsmen and apprentices.

Many times, everyone buys a peace of mind.

Thousands of pieces of land almost just listed, they were immediately robbed, and even some of the wealthy ones directly snapped up dozens of pieces, driven by demand, people often lose their minds, especially when they see the big profits of those workshop owners, everyone else is also red-eyed, and now it is obvious that what is the business is done, and there is no production to make money.

The first batch of land also made Ruyifang make a lot of money this time, more than 1,000 pieces of land, a total of 110,000 acres, located in the suburbs of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Tianjin and other places, but at one time, it earned enough 20 million taels of silver, leaving aside the previous expenses, the net profit is as high as 15 million.

Xu Qian sat at home and got the news from Xu Fu, and only smiled slightly: "Very good, this is a good start, how much land do you have accumulated on hand?" ”

Xu Fudao: "There are still 190,000 mu, all of which were purchased earlier according to your instructions. ”

Xu Qian nodded: "Keep it for the time being, don't be in a hurry to sell it, do business, look at the long term, and seize the opportunity." ”

Xu Fu said with a smile: "This transaction is also a silver ticket transaction of Ruyi Bank, which shows that the money of Ruyi Money Bank has gradually become popular." ”

Xu Qian just smiled slightly, in fact, the popularity of money was already expected by him, after all, with the prosperity of commerce, there are more and more large transactions, a few years ago, a thousand taels of silver was considered a big deal, but now, the amount of the transaction has increased tenfold, a thousand taels of silver, you can still carry it on your body, but what about ten thousand taels of silver? If you hire someone to take it, will you really feel at ease? After all, silver is a thing that is not at ease on anyone, especially in this era, so the merchant has to choose to use money to trade, after all, you exchange huàn into a silver ticket to use, it is better than handing over the silver to others to carry, and the credit of Ruyi Money Village is obviously much better than that of men and long-term workers.

Once the merchants realized the convenience of money and had fully trusted Ruyi Bank, it was only a matter of time before this silver ticket became popular, and I even heard that in some places, even if it was a tael or ten taels of silver, money began to be traded, which was a good start.

Speaking of this, Xu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This cabinet is counting on sending troops to clean me up, but how could I have thought that it made Xu a lot of money, I am afraid that those businessmen will also thank the princes of the court and the central government, these people have tasted the sweetness of making war money, and they will ...... in the future I'm just afraid ......"

Xu Fu couldn't help but say: "What cousin means ......"

Xu Qian shook his head: "It's not interesting, it's just that in the future, the wars of my Ming Dynasty will be much more than before, and after the flies taste the delicious rotten eggs, they will try their best to find the next rotten egg." That's it, it's pointless to say this, now the court wants grain, and it's about to enter autumn, and now it's really time to take precautions, if the food can't be gathered, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it won't be good. ”
