One thousand five hundred and forty-four chapters: rich to rival the country
The eight-legged essays were abolished.
There is no way out.
The mansion and land were sold at a low price and lost their production resources.
Turning my head... I found that these things that belonged to me have risen...
The mansions and land that were sold a few days ago have soared in just a few days, but these things no longer belong to me!
When they found that they had nothing but debts, they... just woke up.
In this era, when people lose their land... if they lose their fame and fortune, the first thing they lose is the slaves in their family.
The slaves rushed to escape and ran away.
Immediately afterwards, even the maids and concubines took away the remaining wealth.
In the local area, the so-called connections suddenly collapsed.
Because your connections are supported by strength, if your family is in trouble, who will care about you?
What's more, this is not about one or two companies. If you ask others for help, others want to find you.
At this moment... it was just a turn, and many people found that they had no difference from ordinary people.
There are naturally some unwillingness... but their unwillingness is now found to be ineffective.
Especially in the local area, what has suffered this time was severely damaged.
Although the remaining gentry kept their own fields, they were panic and at a loss for a moment.
This incident is like a farce from beginning to end.
You want to blame the emperor? Why do you want to rebel?
You have to blame the Duke of Qi... But Duke of Qi is also a victim. He only died without a place to bury him. If he hadn't been resurrected from the dead, I wonder how many people would have suffered!
Who can you blame... Who...
Everyone actually discovered that there was nowhere to vent this resentment.
Good days have become difficult in the blink of an eye.
A bankrupt person can only sigh to the sky.
At this time... Emperor Hongzhi had heard the news, and then quickly took Xiao Jing and hurried to the West Mountain.
In the West Mountain... the carriages and horses are like dragons.
Carriages and horses from all over the world brought countless contracts, and people sweated like rain, just like autumn harvest, and started counting.
Fang Jifan, who was drinking tea at the same time, heard that His descendant had come to Emperor Hongzhi in a hurry and saluted: "Your Majesty, my son is in a hurry to welcome him, I hope he will forgive me."
Emperor Hongzhi just nodded: "I heard that you have mobilized funds to purchase land in various prefectures and counties in the world?"
Fang Jifan said: "Everyone goes to the exchange, but the son can't get it up, and he thinks about it, so..."
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be fierce.
I admire it.
People all over the world only think about the stock market and the houses in Beijing, so everyone is fighting for it, but Fang Jifan is not a commonplace and actually...
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but wonder, why didn't I expect it?
I heard that land prices in many places have plummeted and have reached the point where no one cares about them. Xishan relies on the large amount of funds injected from the exchange and has drawn countless funds to crazily sweep the land market around the world. The profits here are probably not lower than those in the trading market.
Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Xishan Money House, he has more than 50% of the shares! 50%!
Emperor Hongzhi said enthusiastically: "Come on, have you tried it clearly now?"
Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's still early, and there are many remote prefectures and counties. The contracts have not been sent to Beijing. On the other hand, the land deeds sent are piled up like mountains. My sons... must work hard and strive to count all the land within a month."
One month...it's just a count...
This really exceeded Emperor Hongzhi's expectations, which made Emperor Hongzhi take a breath.
People's herd mentality is really terrible. There is a little disturbance. Someone starts selling, followed by a plunge. After the plunge, there is a crazier selling, and the panic mentality fills the world...
Emperor Hongzhi probably understood that this economy is closely related to human confidence. No wonder the book written by Liu Wenshan particularly emphasizes that economy is the heart of the people.
Emperor Hongzhi's face became solemn: "How many people have been tested now?"
Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "Half an hour ago, Erchen asked about a number, saying that there were mountains, forests and land, totaling 37.25 million acres. Of course, this is actually just the tip of the iceberg. Erchen predicted that in a month, this number would increase by three or four times. Because there were a large number of people in the early stage, they actually didn't want houses and mortgaged land, so... these were all settled long ago..."
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
This number... is very terrible.
The registered land in the Ministry of Revenue is approximately 400 million mu.
Of course... this is only recorded in the yellow book.
I'm afraid there are still many hidden reports, and there are even hidden land, and there are no counting the number of outside the pass and Jiaozhi.
Therefore... some people estimate that the real number of fields should be around 600 million mu.
This guy Fang Jifan...is really bad enough.
If it was as he had expected, wouldn’t the land he obtained would be as high as 100 million acres? How much gold and silver had been used, and how many people lost all their money?
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "So much land... is in the hands of Xishan Money House... means... if the land price rises and sells it, it will be a tenfold benefit?"
Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty, this thing... cannot be sold. If so much land is pushed onto the market, who has the financial resources that can be digested at ten times the price?"
"What he said is reasonable." Emperor Hongzhi frowned and nodded thoughtfully: "So what's the use of collecting it?"
Fang Jifan heard this question and smiled and said, "Your Majesty... This land is of great use. Different lands have different uses. If it is close to the city, Xishan Jianye can start to build a new city. This land is from Xishan Money House, and the money invested can also be regarded as Xishan Money House. The sold mansion will also belong to Xishan Money House. This is a profitable transaction and can definitely be made."
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes shone.
Although as an emperor, he really wanted to be calm, he could not suppress the flame in his heart.
“It makes sense.”
Fang Jifan continued: "The rest are used to build roads and build various facilities to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment..."
"I'm afraid this costs a lot, right?"
Fang Jifan said seriously: "Have you ever thought about what a new city is? A new city is not as simple as a house. If it is just a house, it is just a pile of rotten stones. The reason why people are willing to live in a new city is to build it because it is convenient and comfortable in life. Therefore, it requires roads, railways, clinics, schools, laying and burying pipes, digging underground canals, and digging septic tanks.
All of them are beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood. When building a new city, a large amount of funds is needed. When the capital is turned over, countless workshops need to support it. Some people need to make steel and iron, and someone needs to burn bricks and kilns. This is all a matter of countless manpower. At present, the most common thing in our Ming Dynasty is refugees. Only by giving the refugees a bite of food can it benefit our Ming Dynasty's country foundation. Where does this meal come from? It comes from countless workshops, and are there any bridge and road construction?"
Fang Jifan paused and continued: "Our house can be sold only after they have their salary. After selling the house and recovering funds, they can build a new city faster. So there are clinics, schools, theaters, and businesses. With these, doctors, teachers, actors, merchants, and countless commodities are placed in the shelves of shops. All of this... are complementary."
"Your Majesty... I have been planning for my Ming Dynasty, for you, for the emperor, for the people. All the prefectures in the world are ruined. When it rains, the roads are muddy. Not only are they cars and horses, but even people are difficult to walk. Most of the streets are narrow and the manure cannot be treated. It is smelly. Such places are not only prone to diseases, but also very hard for the people to live here."
"The court used to only know how to persuade farmers, but now it has launched a new policy. If the country is prosperous and the people are strong, it is necessary to persuade workers, businessmen, and people to study. It is a useless labor force, and let them perform their duties. The capital and Baoding... is the model of the whole world. But Your Majesty's world is not just one capital and Baoding. If the court only cares about the present and forgets the people of the prefectures in the world, then... Your Majesty is just the parents of the military and civilians of the capital, not the parents of the people of the world."
"The silver...spread it, as long as it is still flowing, the faster it flows, the more popular it will be, the more beneficial it will be for the Ming Dynasty. The most urgent task now is to borrow the new city and flow this silver, lay the foundation for the Ming Dynasty."
Fang Jifan said so much in one breath, and even he was moved.
Since he came to this world, he has always wanted to change this world.
Not because of anything else.
But because... Fang Jifan is a person who is truly out of the low-level fun.
If you are a human being in two lifetimes, if you just think about your own wealth, what is the point?
The essence of the economy is to use consumption to drive the prosperity of production, and the strong consumption power will also expand productivity wildly.
But the old ideas have been too deeply rooted. Not to mention the self-sufficient consumption concept, even emperors of all dynasties have been constantly promoting the concept of frugality. People divide their money into two halves to spend it, but... the times have changed, and the methods of the past have no effect.
If you want to expand and develop, you must let go of your hands to consume.
Since everyone is reluctant to spend money... then... very good. Fang Jifan sells the house for you and helps you spend it.
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. He thought of Liu Huiwen, who could only speak about the holy science, and then look at Fang Jifan at this moment.
