Chapter 761: Prosperity
As soon as the fund was established, Zhang Jingyi was full of ambition.
Speaking of which, the amount of this fund is huge.
In addition to the Jiannu people who invested more than 10 million taels, the Zhang family invested more, and directly smashed 100 million taels of real money and silver.
In addition, there are other large and small merchants, which add up to 140 million taels of silver.
Such a large amount of money, according to the requirements of the fund, must be used for the development of Liaodong.
The biggest fear in this world is not that there is no one, but that there is no silver.
With silver, naturally, there will be countless people who will flock to it.
And this fund is not going to build it yourself.
After all, Zhang Jingyi does not have three heads and six arms, so he can't go out in person, to establish one workshop after another, and develop one new project after another.
The capital is too large, so the investment method of this fund adopts the method of observing future promising projects in the market, and then injecting funds and then obtaining a part of its shares to make profits.
This is good for everyone, on the one hand, once the project is successful, there will inevitably be a big increase in income in the future, and the fund can make a lot of money with it.
For many projects and workshops, Liaodong is now in ruins, but the current funds are limited, unable to achieve rapid expansion, and once it is supported by the Zhangjia Fund, then it can recruit more people, promote more projects, and quickly become bigger and stronger.
For ordinary Liaodong people, many industries have suddenly obtained a large amount of money and urgently need to grow rapidly, so it is inevitable to recruit a large number of more manpower, and the wage will naturally rise.
It seems that everyone has benefited.
The only thing that is wrong is that ordinary people only get a small head.
Maybe a hundred years from now...... Many people can grow resentment, and in this age of starvation, even small profits are enough to share joy.
And what Zhang Jingyi has to do is to hire a large number of people, including the account office, and also includes many brokers.
What they have to do is to sort out all walks of life in Liaodong, and judge all walks of life to judge which workshop has better prospects and which industry has more future.
At this time...... That's where the litigators come in.
In Kannai, a lawyer is almost a cheap profession, but all scholars who have a good face are unwilling to deign to be lawyers, and those who take on the duties of lawyers, study the law, and provide guarantees are often local land protectors, or county clerks and clerks.
Fortunately, it is in Liaodong...... With the improvement of the status of the scribes, the lawyers, who have a lot of connections with the scribes, gradually began to develop because of their high salaries and the hot market demand.
In Liaodong today, almost any law promulgation or revision of the law will be compiled into a book, and booksellers can often sell hundreds or thousands of copies after printing.
The reason for this is that now the profession of litigators has begun to sprout, and a group of litigators who specialize in studying the provisions of the law and chewing on the letter have begun to be employed by various workshop owners, or wealthy merchants, to advise them or study contracts for them.
However, Zhang Jingyi is still happy to see this, after all, Liaodong is implementing a new policy, and the new policy will inevitably promote various new laws, and if these laws are not maintained, they will naturally become a dead letter.
But who will be full and endure every day to ponder every word of the law? After all, the interests of the vast majority of people are not related, and if they really encounter this kind of thing, it is just a temporary cramming.
It's just that there is a group of people who make a living by pondering your laws every day and putting them into practice, and although they are in their own interests, they are in fact the main group defending the New Deal.
Therefore, Zhang Jingyi met many people of all kinds at the banquet where the fund opened, these guys with fat heads and big ears and red faces, they praised their wealth one by one, and they were covered in silk and satin, maybe they had a great family background in the past, or they were just penniless guys at first, but now, they have all become the new upstarts in Liaodong.
Zhang Jingyi had to smile bitterly in her heart, these people in front of her were only afraid that they were no better than the original gentry.
But no matter what, Zhang Jingyi still inevitably became their spokesperson. Zhang Jingyi can completely imagine that if he is Zhao Kuangyin, then the most anxious to add to his yellow robe are probably these upstarts.
Because of a fact that cannot be ignored, Zhang Jingyi is inevitably tied to them.
You must know that now they have formed a bundle of interests with the New Deal, and they have become a prosperous situation with Liaodong.
At this time, they were overjoyed one by one, as if Zhang Jingyi had thought of a good idea to make a profit again, and they emitted the joy hidden in their hearts.
Therefore, Zhang Jingyi's compliments are naturally endless.
Everyone toasted happily, and after half of the wine, Zhang Jing was a little drunk, and quietly withdrew.
Huang Taiji obviously had been paying attention to Zhang Jingyi's movements, and followed forward quietly.
Outside, I saw Zhang Jingyi standing under the corridor looking at the snow fluttering outside, his face raised lightly, his expression thoughtful, and he whispered: "Your Highness...... Is your body unwell? ”
Zhang Jing turned his head and glanced at Huang Taiji, as if he didn't expect Huang Taiji to follow, and said with a little surprise: "Ah...... It's nothing, I'm young, and I'm in good shape. ”
Huang Taiji said with some concern: "The sinner has always been worried that His Highness has come to Liaodong and is not used to the climate here. ”
Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I'll get used to it slowly." ”
"The sinner seems to be displeased with His Highness."
Zhang Jingyi stared at him with his hands behind his back at this time, and said: "You are also a hero, when have you been learning the art of observing words and colors every day?" ”
Huang Taiji said with sincere fear: "It's a sin who dies, it's just ...... His Highness is now the food and clothing parents of sinners and subordinates, and it is normal for people to figure out His Highness's thoughts. ”
Zhang Jingyi couldn't refute these words.
After a pause, Zhang Jing said with a faint look in his eyes: "I was thinking about one thing just now, what is the difference between those people who just had the banquet and those Liao generals in Liaodong at the beginning?" ”
Huang Taiji was silent, which surprised him a little, he didn't expect Zhang Jingyi to think not about controlling Liaodong, but about those Liao generals at the beginning.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, doesn't you think they are unreliable? ”
"No, they're too reliable." Zhang Jingyi didn't think much about it, and then said: "They are closely related to this king, one is prosperous, one is lost, without this king, the wealth they have accumulated may be wiped out overnight at any time, this king is not blindly confident, but in fact, if anyone dares to shake this king, they will definitely not want their lives, and they will follow to the death." ”
Huang Taiji said: "Since this is the case, then His Highness should not have any worries. ”
Zhang Jingyi didn't bother to continue to discuss with him, so he only bowed his head: "The matter of the fund, wrapped up in this king, I dare not say that there can be a big profit, but it will not be a loss, now Liaodong is in ruins, it is the time when these funds are useful, you can take people to fight with peace of mind." ”
Huang Taiji nodded, he knew that Zhang Jingyi had avoided the topic, and he also knew that Zhang Jingyi had other thoughts in his heart, but even if he was already extremely smart and had extremely high emotional intelligence, he was limited to his cognition, and he was afraid that he would not understand Zhang Jingyi's mind at this time.
It is said that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, but the mind of this Liao king is really unpredictable.
Huang Taiji smiled bitterly in his heart.
In just a few months, a tense drama of capital injection, mergers and acquisitions, and restructuring was staged as scheduled.
Countless funds began to be frantically injected into all walks of life.
It can be said that Zhang Jingyi is definitely the best trader in the world, for no other reason, maybe people of this era...... It is impossible to see the future trend.
But Zhang Jingyi could see it clearly.
Grasping the general direction of history, grasping the trend of the times, or creating a trend, in fact, things have become much simpler.
Zhang Jingyi first injected a large number of steel workshops, mines, and cotton spinning workshops.
These are extremely basic industries, and in later generations, they are the so-called sunset industries, which belong to the existence of people who hate dogs.
But in this era, it is the most emerging industry nowadays.
Of course, capital injections and acquisitions are also organized, and of course it is the workshop with newer equipment and higher production efficiency to be supported.
Zhang Jingyi often buys three or four percent of the equity and invests a large amount of money in it, and no longer cares about other things.
With the funds, the workshop owners began to expand their production continuously.
The expansion of production has brought about a great boom in the construction industry and the machinery industry.
The population of Liaodong was limited, a large number of people were employed, and labor began to become more and more valuable. And this increase in the price of labor has also made the expanding workshop owners also try their best to reduce the number of workers.
Thus...... Better machines are the most interesting thing these days.
Many mechanical workshops are now busy.
At the beginning, most of the mechanical workshops in Liaodong were driven by the construction of ironclad ships.
In order to match the ironclad ship, it can be said that many workshops are gritting their teeth, racking their brains, and making countless improvements in order to meet the requirements of the ironclad ship.
But soon people began to realize...... These skills and improvements that were originally used on ironclad ships can also be used in other fields.
At first, it was a workshop that improved the steam loom, and soon, this new type of steam loom began to sell well, and it was popular in the market in an instant.
Although the price is expensive, in the eyes of textile industry owners who need to expand production, this is simply a weapon to lead their peers.
As a result, countless orders poured in like snowflakes.
This was originally just a small-scale mechanical workshop responsible for providing components for a certain part of the ironclad ship, but it turned into a windfall, and the order was directly lined up three years later.
