Two million taels.

Perhaps this is nothing to those smuggling merchants.

But for a family like the Liu family, it is almost impossible to imagine.

Within a month, set a small goal and earn money that the Liu family could not accumulate even for more than ten generations.

Liu Hongxun was naturally moved, turned his head and looked at Liu Wenchang, and saw that Liu Wenchang's eyes were red.

Obviously, the son was so excited that he couldn't stop.

This made Liu Hongxun, who was in a state of mind, calmed down a little.

At this time, he showed a calm side like a soldering iron poured out by cold water.

"One wave will not be twenty taels." Liu Hongxun said with sharp eyes and a sudden mouth.

Liu Wenchang looked at his father in shock and then said, "What does Father mean?"

Liu Hongxun took a sip of tea and said lightly: "You guys calculated this right, but I didn't expect that what is the essence of the new policy? Is it just a distribution of land?"

Liu Wenchang frowned slightly and looked at Liu Hongxun hesitantly: "Then..."

Liu Hongxun said: "The essence of the new policy is to turn from the output of land to... like a railway, like a workshop, the land has not been produced. Son, the world has changed. These bandits have destroyed the land in a large way. Over the years, the natural disasters have caused great damage? What's more, Liaodong... have been working hard to reclaim. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people who come out of the customs every month. Not only that, there are also a large number of prisoners who are sent out of the customs. This year, there are no less than hundreds of thousands of people who come out of the customs. With so many people, a large number of people who have reclaimed land and planted rye. When the railway is completed and the continuous rye will flow into the customs!"

"Son, let's calculate that in previous years, there were outputs from natural disasters because there were fewer food rations and so many people. If you want to eat grain, the price of grain will inevitably surge. Therefore, whether it is a year of disaster or a year of bumper, the output of land is fixed. The year of disaster is small, but the grain is valuable, and the grain is low in the year of bumper. But now? Once there is a continuous impact of rye in the future, plus those sweet potatoes that can satisfy hunger, think about it, what does this mean?"

So Liu Wenchang said: "Even if the land is not divided, it is difficult to get profits?"

"Yes." Liu Hongxun nodded and said firmly: "It's a pity that some people have not seen the general trend clearly yet, and are still conserving the incompleteness, guarding their thousands of hectares of fertile land, and dreaming of wealth for generations. However, they don't know that the world has actually changed. Liaodong has planted rye and the railway can be connected. So if they are divided into different places, even if those people can defend their home business, they will only survive."

"So... At this time, change will be open, and if not change will be dead. The essence of the new policy is to solve the problem of food, and to redistribute and circulate the manpower through railways. I carefully look at it. When the new policy was temporarily suspended, the biggest loss was not necessarily the railway, but the coal and iron surrounding the railway company, as well as countless inns, ready-made clothes, silk, cotton cloth, and tooth shops."

Liu Wenchang suddenly realized and couldn't help but say, "I just said that the brothel was in a depressed way a few days ago."

Liu Hongxun: “…”

"This is what my son heard." Liu Wenchang's eyes flashed, and he said seriously on his face.

Liu Hongxun shook his head at Liu Wenchang, but did not ask this question, but said, "Looking through this essence, this proves one thing. This railway company and all industries complement each other. The rise of railways, the prosperity of all industries, and the prosperity of all industries has given rise to more profits from the railway. Think about it, I only said that if I want to make clothes, cotton must be used to spun cloth. Where does cotton come from? Where does the cotton come from in the world? What does transportation need? Transportation requires railways. Do you understand me?"

"This is not the reason why a railway earns current money, but an old hen lays an egg, the egg hatches a chick, the chick becomes a hen, and lays eggs. Therefore, if the railway profit is calculated, it cannot be calculated according to the current perspective. It has to be calculated from three, five, and ten years. This is called endless life, so... even if the railway company has increased to twenty taels, it is still less, and it has to be calculated for thirty taels, fifty taels, and one hundred taels."

"The Liu family is not a merchant family. It emphasizes immediate benefits. Since Emperor Gaozu, our Liu family has been passed down from poetry and books for two hundred years. What is the sight of the past year, two years, and three years? What we calculate is a hundred years of plan."

Liu Wenchang nodded and said, "Oh, father, I understand. That is to say, we have prepared silver and purchased stocks according to our long-term plans for ten or twenty years, even if they are worth twenty taels or thirty taels."

"You can't say that either." Liu Hongxun shook his head and said, "Twenty taels, within twenty taels, you can make sure that you will make sure that you will make sure that you have to make money within twenty taels. No matter how high you are, you have to wait for time. But the longer the time delays, the more you will be, the future will be hard to say. But at least in a short time, I can be sure that this railway will make a stable profit. I have seen it clearly. There are too many people in the court who are profiting from railways and other coal and iron, and there will be more and more people in the future. In the future, all national policies will revolve around this, just like..."

He paused and then said, "Just like those gentry at the time, everyone was gentry. Naturally, all national policies would be tilted towards the gentry. This is the effect of water droplets wearing stones. I am a little confused about what it will be like in the future, but... this is the general trend. Alas, you are unwilling to study on weekdays and fail in the imperial examinations. Maybe... I will let you do business in the future."

"Doing business..." Liu Wenchang was stunned for a moment, looking surprised.

He is the son of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, what kind of business he does! This business will be laughed at.

The Liu family has been passed down for two hundred years. Although Liu Wenchang did not succeed in the imperial examination, there were still some ancestors who would give him a royal official. Although this royal official was nothing in the eyes of the Liu family, he was better than anything he did than a businessman.

Looking at Liu Wenchang's surprised look, Liu Hongxun patiently said: "The world has changed, and our Liu family will also change. Now, although they are lowly and despised by business, but what about the future? Now while everyone is still hesitating, you will take the lead and take the initiative. From now on... Maybe you can really achieve something. The most taboo thing in this world is just like buying that stock. The person who bought it first cannot lose money, but then he shouted, even if there are benefits in the future, the benefits are limited. At most, I can only drink a sip of soup. I don't understand the business and can't teach you anything. However, as a father, I have taught you a lot of principles of being a human being. Remember the principles of being a human being. If you do business, you should not worry about not being able to show your strength."

After pausing, he continued: "I heard that Xinxian has a very good business atmosphere. You can go and take a look, follow and learn, and then find out what you will see in the future and then slap in. In short, you must have a correct vision and start quickly. This is the trick you need to do anything."

Liu Wenchang still felt that this decision was a bit difficult to digest, and always felt that this father was confused.

However, Liu Hongxun is a cabinet bachelor after all, and he felt that his father would not harm his own son, so he must have seen something and told him so specifically.

So Liu Wenchang gritted his teeth and said, "This is what my father said. My son will stay in Xinxian in a few days. If he has a copy or will damage his family reputation, he will not blame his son for being unworthy."

"No wonder." Liu Hongxun smiled kindly and said, "If you want to blame him, you will blame him for being a father."

…………

The Liu family father and son agreed here.

On the other hand, Zhang Jingyi was already at his home and started to make arrangements.

Once the railway in Liaodong begins to be built, the Zhang family will have too many things to do.

There are a large number of iron ore in the areas of Liaozhongwei, Haizhouwei, and Guangningwei. These iron ore... have extremely rich reserves, how rich are? Even in later generations, they account for one-quarter of the proven reserves in the world.

In addition, there are coal and wood resources, which is also of great significance.

As soon as the railway was built, the Zhang family had to raise money and build branch lines.

Of course... the power of the Zhang family alone is not enough, so... taking advantage of the popularity of the railway company, Zhang Jingyi plans to launch the Liaodong Mining Signature and use the method of attracting stocks. Now the Zhang family urgently needs a lot of manpower and material resources to develop various minerals, and the funds required are huge.

Nowadays, many people have gained the sweetness of the railway company and will naturally become very interested in the new shares of the Zhang family.

But the problem now lies in the issue of pricing new stocks.

If the setting is high, everyone thinks that the loss is lost. If the setting is low, the Zhang family will lose.

After careful consideration, Zhang Jing planned to issue 100 million shares and sell 50 million, two taels of silver per share.

This price is actually high. Although it is not a pig killing deal, it is indeed a bit unkind to get 100 million taels of silver with nothing.

But I couldn't resist Zhang Jing telling a story for a while.

In fact, Zhang Jingyi has already started to brew now.

On the one hand, he allowed coal and the price of iron to rise sharply.

Driven by these two prices, iron ore and coal mines immediately became popular. Even scrap iron is now rising in value on the market.

On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty has already started to make a fuss.

Almost every issue, there are loud calls from the publication that the steel and coal in the world are in a hurry, and it is said that the iron ore that can only last for fifteen years today.

In other words, use it for less than a year.

If this continues, there will be no iron available on the railway, no firearm available on the soldiers, and no pots and pans available on the people.

Once this news was released, it immediately caused many people's concerns.
