Chapter 1656, people of the Ming Dynasty should pay attention to
"Did you hear that?"
"The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is about to start raising funds to prepare for construction, and the relevant design drawings have been reported in newspapers."
"I heard about it, but who doesn't know about it now?"
"What do you think?"
"Would you like to invest in Yangtze River Bridge stocks?"
"Since ancient times, the Yangtze River has divided the earth into two parts, blocking travel between the north and the south. Now we are creating a new world and building a bridge on the Yangtze River. This is truly an unprecedented grand event. We must support it no matter what."
"Yes, yes, I also think I should buy it. When it was first issued, the Egyptian Canal stock was only one tael of silver per share. Now it is more than two hundred taels of silver per share. It can generate an income of nine million taels of silver every year. Calculated.
For every 10 shares, you can get more than 4 taels of silver every year."
"My friend originally bought 100 shares of Egyptian Canal stock, and now he can get dozens of taels of silver just sitting there every year. Not to mention how rich his life is."
"Yes, yes. I regretted not buying shares in the Egyptian Canal back then. I felt that the Egyptian Canal was thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty and it was in a foreign country. The money invested in it might have been wasted."
"Who knew that after the canal was opened, the profits would be very high, and there would be huge profits. I could just sit back and collect the money. Now my intestines are full of regrets."
"Once the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is repaired and opened to traffic, it will be similar to the Egyptian Canal. You can just sit and collect money."
"Think about it, how much tolls can be collected every year for traveling from north to south? The plan will not be worse than the Egyptian canal."
"Yes, the Egyptian canal only cost 20 million taels of silver to be repaired, but the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge required an investment of 40 million taels of silver, twice as much as the Egyptian canal. The planned benefits will not be bad."
"The accounts cannot be calculated in this way. Although the Egyptian Canal is much longer and much larger than the Yangtze River Bridge, the project volume seems to be much larger."
"But the construction of the Egyptian canal is not difficult at all. The excavation of the canal is all sand and there are very few rocks. The construction is simple, and the local labor in Egypt is extremely cheap. Just give it some food and some money."
"The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is different. It is extremely difficult to construct. The Yangtze River is naturally dangerous, the water flow is fast and deep, and it has to be filled with reinforced concrete. It was built with silver."
"Furthermore, the labor force in Ming Dynasty is too expensive, especially those who do manual labor. If each person doesn't have a few taels of silver, you can't find anyone to do the work."
"So even though the Yangtze River Bridge is only a few kilometers long, it is more difficult and more expensive to build than the Egyptian Canal."
"But when it comes to the income that this bridge will generate in the future, I estimate that it may not be as much as the Egyptian canal."
"The geographical location of the Egyptian canal is very important. Once the canal is opened, European ships heading to the Mediterranean will use the Egyptian canal, and the tolls will be guaranteed."
"The Yangtze River Bridge is different. There are docks across the Yangtze River, and business travelers can also cross the river by boat. If your charges are too expensive, people don't necessarily have to use your bridge."
"So that means you can't buy the Yangtze River Bridge stock?"
"I didn't say that. I just said that the income from this bridge may not be as good as the Egyptian Canal, but investing in the Yangtze River Bridge is a good deal. The stock will definitely rise, not to mention rising to 200 yuan like the Egyptian Canal.
, there will definitely be no problem if it goes up to dozens of yuan.”
"Also, the income from the Yangtze River Bridge may not be as good as the Egyptian Canal, but it is still a stable investment. You can just sit back and wait for dividends in the future."
"Furthermore, since ancient times, building bridges and repairing roads has been a matter of accumulating merit. Now building a bridge on the Yangtze River is unprecedented. It is a great event that has created the world. How can we not invest a little or two? It should be for future generations."
To accumulate good fortune, you also need to put some money into it."
"Well said, well said~"
"This Yangtze River Bridge is of great significance. If you buy some stocks, you can leave it to future generations to see."
"What Brother Zhang said makes sense. People of our generation, our country, our country, should learn from Liu Gong today. He runs countless schools without asking for anything in return. He invests huge amounts of wealth in education every year. He is a sage in the world. Although we are capable
Even though we are limited, we should also learn from Liu Gong, but I hope that the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous, and that our descendants will have peace forever!"
"Well said, it really makes people's blood boil!"
"..."
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, as the news of the Yangtze River Bridge being built was published in the Ming Dynasty Morning News, everyone suddenly began to discuss the Yangtze River Bridge enthusiastically.
The Yangtze River is naturally dangerous, and no one has ever been able to build a bridge on it.
But now, the Ming Dynasty is going to set a precedent and build a bridge over the Yangtze River for the first time in history.
The news is exciting, and it also makes everyone in Ming Dynasty look forward to the issuance of Yangtze River Bridge stocks. There are many people who want to invest in Yangtze River Bridge stocks.
The Ming Dynasty stock market has always been relatively hot, and all kinds of stocks have basically risen very well. Among them, the stocks of various major projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood have seen an even more gratifying growth rate.
For example, the Egyptian Canal stock was issued for only 1 tael of silver per share, but now it has increased to more than 200 taels of silver per share, and it can also generate considerable dividends every year.
There is also the Jinnan Railway, which runs from Tianjin to Nanjing, and has now risen to more than 100 taels of silver per share. The Beijing-West Railway, which leads from the capital city of the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions, and the Hexi Railway, has also risen to more than 100 taels of silver per share.
share.
Almost all railway stocks have a very good growth trend, and the annual dividends are also very good. They are all high-quality stocks and high-quality assets, and many people invest in them.
Now that the shares of the Yangtze River Bridge are about to be issued, it has immediately attracted countless investors.
Although the newspaper also analyzed the future income of the Yangtze River Bridge in detail and believed that the income of the Yangtze River Bridge in the future may not exceed 2 million taels of silver, there are still many people who want to invest in the bridge.
Many people invest in the bridge not only for future profits, but also for the so-called accumulation of blessings and merits for future generations.
The people of Ming Dynasty have always believed in merit. In terms of blessings, do more good deeds to accumulate wealth and virtue for your descendants. When you are rich and powerful, you should not be too arrogant or domineering. Instead, you should do more good deeds and build bridges and roads.
And so on, so that future generations can enjoy the blessings.
Although gentry and landlords who bully men and women have not been bullied since ancient times, there are still many gentlemen, and the scholarly family has an excellent reputation.
Many times when ordinary people encounter years of famine or difficulty, they will provide food and money to help with disaster relief, and some will borrow food and money.
Nowadays, newspapers in the Ming Dynasty often encourage everyone to do good deeds, accumulate merit, merit, and so on. In addition, the Ming Dynasty is now a peaceful and prosperous age, the country is rich and the people are strong, so naturally the social atmosphere is better than ever.
.
There are many rich people here, and there are many people who are willing to do good deeds and do good deeds.
Especially these emerging capitalists in the Beijing-Tianjin area have always imitated Liu Jin.
Liu Jin likes to run schools, and he opened ordinary primary schools, middle schools and colleges and universities all over the Ming Dynasty. They provide free education and provide you with a lunch. He pours tens of millions of taels of money into it every year, so that countless poor children can go to school.
If you have the opportunity to go to school, there are countless families who offer Liu Jin's longevity tablets.
Following Liu Jin's lead, nobles of the Ming Dynasty such as Ying Gong, Ding Guo Gong, Cheng Guo Gong, and Ao Guo Gong also followed suit, although they were unable to invest as much as Liu Jin in education.
But they have also opened a lot of primary schools, middle schools, and one or two colleges and universities, and they have also spent a lot of money on building bridges and paving roads.
Even the Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou Zhang brothers, who have always been known as the Iron Rooster, used to be arrogant and domineering, but now that they are older and richer, they have begun to do good deeds and donate a lot of money to run education every year.
The capitalists, wealthy people, business owners and the like in the Beijing-Tianjin area all pay attention to people. They pay attention to making money openly and honorably. They also pay attention to spending money. Good deeds must be done.
To use the words of the newspaper, in this life, people will come and go with nothing. Money will not be brought with them during life or death. Only by doing something to make people remember you will not come here in vain.
Take a trip around the world.
Therefore, building bridges and paving roads in the Beijing-Tianjin area is the simplest and fastest thing. Many times, when it comes to building a bridge, how much money is needed can be easily raised by raising funds from the surrounding countryside.
Of course, after the bridge is built, a monument will also be erected, with the names of many people who contributed money and effort engraved on it, so that it can be passed down to future generations and let people know that the road you took and the bridge you crossed were built by good people who paid and worked hard to build it.
Got up.
This is the style of capitalists in the Beijing-Tianjin area now. Compared with European capitalists in history, Ming capitalists are more humane and pay more attention to credibility. They cherish their reputation and reputation, and they are even better to their workers.
Although everyone's salary and remuneration are similar, the food will be as good as possible for you, the dormitory will be better, and some gifts will be given during holidays and the like.
The people of Ming Dynasty in this period also paid great attention to the word loyalty. If the boss treats you well, you should also work seriously for the boss.
Many people have worked in a factory for more than ten years. They are conscientious and conscientious, and they value the boss's industry more than themselves.
This is something that will be difficult to see in later generations.
But in this period of Ming Dynasty, it was the most common and normal thing.
Loyalty is worth a thousand pieces of gold, it is definitely not a joke.
For example, here in Nanjing, those people banded together to deliberately delay workers' wages and lost credibility. This is best reflected in the fact that no one in Nanjing comes to work anymore.
