In the world, salt is far more profitable than real estate.

There was no urban management in the Ming Dynasty, so no one cared about sleeping on the gate and bridges, but everyone had to eat salt, which was a perfect need. Zhu Cilang enjoyed a good life of decades of salt per pound in his previous life, and suddenly returned to a world where salt is a huge profit industry. He felt uncomfortable and put in a lot of effort to make up for relevant knowledge.

It is clear from the old palace files that it was precisely because of the Hongzhi period that the tide of the royal relatives and foreign officials of Zhongjuan and foreign officials began to sell salt. In the Wanli period, when King Fu was in the vassal period, Concubine Zheng asked for thousands of salt. Could it be that King Fu would go to sell salt? Of course, it was to sell salt!

There is supply and demand, and there is a market. For merchants, as long as there is profit margin, reselling salt and reselling salt indices are actually the same thing. However, for the terminal for selling salt indices - the imperial court - there are two things of different natures. If the market price of salt indices is high, the imperial court can increase the sales volume of salt indices and control the salt price until the supply of the salt farm reaches saturation.

Zhu Ciyang has been a businessman for the rest of his life and a crown prince for more than ten years. His vision is wide, not to mention his peers, even if he is comparing himself to the present in his previous life. Zhu Ciyang in his previous life is not qualified to participate in the overall work of even a province.

"As long as someone uses this land quota to make a profit, someone will want it." Zhu Cixuan further explained: "Then let them 'secretly' buy and sell land quota themselves."

Zhang Shiqi smiled and said, "What Your Highness said is that as long as the land price does not exceed the land value, someone will definitely be rushing to ask for it."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Shiqi is still too naive. He didn't know that Europe had already staged the first tragedy of the financial bubble collapse in human history ten years ago.

It was the Dutch who were at the forefront of capitalization that shaved a tulip craze in 1630 AD. This ornamental plant native to Turkey gained unanimous favor from royal nobles to common people in Europe. In 1635, a tulip variety called childer sold for 1,600 florins, while four bulls or trailers only cost 480 florins; one thousand pounds of cheese only cost 1,200 florins.

The following year, a rare variety of tulips sold for 4,600 florin. In addition, the buyer will need to pay an additional payment for a brand new carriage, two gray horses and a complete set of harnesses.

In Paris, the price of a best tulip stem is equivalent to 110 ounces of gold. In the Ming Dynasty, if someone said that spending 62 taels of gold to buy a flower, it would definitely be considered to have been kicked by a donkey. Even the bold eunuch would not dare to offer such a price to the idiotic emperor.

Are Europeans stupid?

No. They just believe that this thing will keep rising prices, and no matter how high it rises, people will buy it!

The stock exchange in Amsterdam has specially opened up a tulip market for people to trade.

The result is of course very sad. The merchants who hoarded tulips sold large quantities of tulip bulbs in a short period of time, causing prices to plummet, and ordinary varieties of tulips are not even as good as onions.

This gave birth to a very interesting theory of foolishness in economics.

I don’t know the status of inventory, but I just put it into the market because of public opinion. Isn’t this crying and asking the dealer to clean up?

Liao Xing's "land indicia" was originally just imitating salt indicia for value-added hype, and did not expect to exceed the value of the land. However, now the East Palace has land ownership in its hands, which is like a high-rise bait; there are people who create public opinion - celebrities from all walks of life who don't want to be the guest of honor for the prince? Who wouldn't brag about the content of talking to the prince after going back? Not only would they brag about it, but they would also fantasize about it!

The most important thing is that the prince has the right to issue the "diyin".

The court needs credibility, otherwise it will completely lose the confidence of the people and cannot promote paper money just like the depreciation of the treasure banknote. However, in a strategically abandoned area, a strategically important area will be launched to target the gentry class who has the most social wealth... Even if a wise man can see the role of the Eastern Palace in it, the Eastern Palace can still pretend to be stupid.

The right time, place, and people are all in place. This is just as the saying goes: if the heaven and the other person do not take it, they will suffer the consequences!

...

In October of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Luoyang was bleak in the north wind, but the city was in full swing. Not only did the frontline's good news frequently, creating a situation where the world was stable, and everything was under the control of the court. There was another thing that became a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys, and even the peddlers couldn't help but say a few words while resting.

That is the earthly induction.

A square piece of rice paper with a secret word used only when the ticket number is printed on it. It is clearly written that this is a certificate for purchasing unowned land. Each piece of land can only purchase one acre of land. The court price is five cents of silver, and it is strictly forbidden to resell them privately. The land price is also fixed, that is, five taels of silver for top fertile land, three taels of medium, and three cents of low qualifying land.

Simply put, you can buy a mu of high-quality fertile land just by spending 500 cents of silver.

This is Luoyang, Zhongzhou!

It’s not Kaifeng, which was flooded by the Yellow River!

Not to mention Hebei, where no one wants it for free!

It seemed that in order to stimulate the market, Emperor Chongzhen sent an imperial edict with great interest, exempting grain taxes in Henan Province and for three years of labor service!

When Zhu Cilang received this imperial edict, his heart was turbulent for a long time: this was the first time his butterfly wings caused a storm in a province!

There is only one reason why people flee the land: the land burden exceeds the land income.

No one is an idiot. He worked hard to grow land for a year, not only did he save money and food, but he also paid a sum. Who did it? Now that he has an imperial edict to exempt grain tax and labor service, he will do it for himself within at least three years! As for the policy in three years, it will happen three years later!

Due to the inertia of the three thousand years of farming civilization, the whole of Luoyang is looking for a piece of paper called "Diyin". If it weren't for the vermilion seal on the ground, there would probably be many people who forged the ground. As for the "Private resale" written on it, it is completely ignored because it does not require registration and bookkeeping in the yamen.

Zhang Shiqi's prefect's office was almost squeezed out. The gentry used the simplest, direct and consistent with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty: bribery!

A five-cent silver bribe cost is as high as two taels.

News soon came again on the market. The first batch of fertile land released was swept away. Many families didn't even look at the land, and they only saw the picture album and praised real money. Among them, the Liao family in Gongxian was silent and bought 500 acres of fertile land in one fell swoop, which was jealous.

The Liao family actually made a statement. This is Liao Xing, a boy from the Liao family, won the favor of the Eastern Palace and gave him many land signs. In addition to these five hundred pictures, there are more in the family! Yes!

For a moment, the Liao family was crowded with people, and all kinds of relatives and old friends emerged one after another. Not to mention anything else, I just wanted to bring myself to rest. After all, the Liao family has deep local love, and can only give up love for the sake of human nature - of course, the "wishness" of the buyer is indispensable.

With the Liao family taking the lead, more and more "district attractions" have begun to be circulated on the market, and even reached the level of bargaining in teahouses and restaurants!

Under the protection of Min Zhanlian, Zhu Cilang took Wu Yan and Liao Xing out of the Fu Palace from the side door. He was wearing a green Taoist robe and a square scarf on his head. He looked like a rich family. The three of them left the Fu Palace and headed straight to the largest restaurant in Luoyang City. They didn't want a private room. They just asked for a table next to the window and ordered some water, wine and meat, but no one was intent on taking a bite.

After a while, a man in brown clothes and melon-skin hat came over, bowed and smiled flatteringly, "My masters, young masters, are you from other places?"

"Who are you?" Liao Xing scolded in local words: "You are blind! Do you want to bully foreign guests?"

"Oh, the villain is out of his mind, he is out of his mind." The man smiled but refused to leave: "It would be better if the young master is a local, but do you want to buy land to attract him?"

Liao Xing looked at the crown prince with a proud look on his face, clearly saying: Look! I'm not lying! Now it's already a trend to buy and sell land!

Zhu Cilang has never been a person who pursues low-level satisfaction. He believes that he is a successful person and encounters this kind of financial storm that he has set off with one hand, so he should stand on the small building, unfold an ivory fan, and sing in the breeze and bright moon: "If the sky has feelings, the sky will grow old, and the right path on earth is vicissitudes..."
