Sun Xin drank tea leisurely and admired Liu Jin sincerely.
"Steward Sun, Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu are outside asking for a meeting. Shouldn't we meet them?"
Next to Sun Xin, his subordinates said with a smile.
"It's time to meet them. The price is about the same. It won't drop any lower. Then no one else will come and pick it up."
Sun Xin thought about it and nodded. A few taels of silver per acre of land was enough.
Soon, Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu were lured over.
"Mr. Xu, Master Zheng~"
Sun Xin greeted the two of them with a smile on his face, and immediately ordered someone to bring them good tea.
"Mr. Sun~"
The two of them were also smiling, and now they couldn't laugh at all.
It can be seen from the expressions of the whole person, both of them look very tired and worried.
After going from cloud to hell these days, no one can have a good attitude.
"You two are here today, what are you doing for me?"
After some pleasantries, Sun Xin also asked with a smile.
"Mr. Sun, I wonder if you still want to buy land?"
Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and slowly asked.
When Sun Xin came to their house and wanted to buy land from them, they didn't have a good face to show it to Sun Xin.
"Buy, of course I bought it, but I have already bought a lot of land in Nanjing. I heard that the imperial court is going to open a port in Nanjing, so I decided to set up a factory in Nanjing in the future."
Sun Xin smiled and nodded, adding salt to the wounds of the two of them very decisively.
"Mr. Sun, please don't tell me by hearsay. How can the geographical location of Nanjing be compared with our Songhu? Our Songhu is backed by the prosperous Jiangnan area, and can radiate along the Yangtze River to the Huguang area, and can go to Tianjin, North Korea, and Japan."
, you can go to Ryukyu, Fujian, Guangdong, and Nanyang."
"There is no way Nanjing can compare with our Songhu. The imperial court will definitely not choose Nanjing, and I have heard that Liu Jin, the number one scholar, is very supportive of opening a border crossing here in Songhu, saying that our Songhu
Although the foundation here in Shanghai is weak, the geographical advantage is too obvious."
When Xu Pu heard this, he quickly said.
"Mr. Sun is from the north. He must know the name of Mr. Liu Jin and Mr. Liu. He must be right about things."
"Of course I know Mr. Liu. He is the son of an elite, the number one scholar, and the God of Wealth."
Sun Xin nodded solemnly and said.
"Mr. Sun, this matter has not been decided yet. No one knows whether they will choose Nanjing or Songhu, so we might as well buy some land here in Songhu. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
"
Zheng Liangzuo also said with a smile.
"That does make some sense."
"To be honest, I'm quite optimistic about Songhu. Even if it doesn't become an open port this time, its geographical location means it can develop sooner or later."
Sun Xin nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Sun is right. Our location in Songhu is very advantageous. As long as sea trade continues to develop, our Songhu will become the second Tianjin sooner or later."
"To tell you the truth, we happen to have some extra land on hand. If Mr. Sun wants to buy the land to build a factory, we can sell it to you at a cheaper price."
Zheng Liangzuo said with a smile.
"It's okay, we can also buy some land here in Songhu. The location here is good and it's a land of plenty. It's not comparable to what we have in the north."
"I don't know, how much silver do you want to buy per acre?"
Sun Xin smiled and nodded and asked.
"Mr. Sun, let's not talk nonsense in front of the true Buddha. According to the eight taels of silver per acre you said last time, I will sell you as much as you want."
When Xu Pu and Zheng Liangzuo saw it, they were slightly excited. After thinking about it, they quoted a price.
"Mr. Xu, Master Zheng, you are not sincere enough. As far as I know, the land price in Songhu has dropped to 30 taels of silver per acre, and no one wants it even for 30 taels of silver per acre."
, when you sell me eight taels of silver, do you think I am a fool?"
When Sun Xin heard this, he immediately laughed.
"this…"
The two of them suddenly felt slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"I won't talk nonsense. According to the current market price, I will sell all your fields to me for two taels of silver per acre."
Sun Xin looked at the two of them and said very directly.
"Mr. Sun, this price is too low, really too low."
"The price on the market is also so low because everyone is forced to sell it. In the past, even at the cheapest time, one acre of land cost five taels of silver."
"Your two taels of silver per acre of land is one tael of land lower than the market price."
Zheng Liangzuo shook his head and said.
"It's up to you whether to buy it or not. Not many people can spend so much money at once right now. That's why I'm optimistic about Songhu, so I'm willing to come and buy the land with real money."
"Everyone else has gone to Nanjing now."
Sun Xin looked at the two of them and said calmly.
"Mr. Sun, do you know how much land we have?"
Xu Pu looked at Sun Xin and tried to make the connection in his mind. This Sun Xin was really bold and wanted to buy all their fields in one go.
Although the two of them are now embarrassed by being forced into debt, the land they hold in their hands is genuine. The combined land of the two of them accounts for almost half of Songhu.
"I can eat as much as I want."
Sun Xin looked at Xu Pu and said calmly.
Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Almost everything that can be sold in the home has been sold, leaving only these fields that no one wants. The debt collectors have already moved into their homes, and they will not leave without receiving money.
And if it takes a long time and they still can't get the money out, they will really be doomed by then.
"Sell~"
"I'll sell it all to you."
Xu Pu gritted his teeth and said.
When they sold an acre of land for twenty taels of silver, they would lose money, blood, and even the family property passed down from their ancestors. However, they were still able to pay off all their debts. Such a family
At least his life can be saved.
As Sun Xin said, there are very few people who can afford so much money to buy land. Now everyone is optimistic about Nanjing and the local big families in Jiangnan, big landowners, big gentry, and big businessmen.
I turned around and went to Nanjing to buy land.
No one will come to Songhu at all. Even if the price of their land is reduced, no one will take over it. The poor people here in Songhu will not be able to raise much money at all, not to mention that time does not allow it.
"I sold it too~"
When Zheng Liangzuo saw that Xu Pu had also been sold, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and sold it all. The life of his family was important, and it was important to seize the time to pay back the loan sharks and so on.
"Okay~"
When Sun Xin heard this, he immediately laughed.
The two of them own the most land in Songhu. If they sell it, the others will soon sell it to them.
Two taels of silver per acre, this price is much higher than when Liu Jin bought land in Tianjin at the price of cabbage.
Of course, there is no comparison. The fields here in Songhu are all paddy fields. This place belongs to the south of the Yangtze River and cannot be compared with other places in Tianjin.
For two taels of silver per acre, that's a huge bargain.
The key is that Zheng Liangzuo, Xu Pu and others have concentrated these areas, saving them the trouble of buying them one by one.
Purchasing a large area of land will also facilitate the future planning of Songhu. Liu Jin's planning and construction of Songhu will not be affected by Liu Jin's planning and construction of Songhu just because the land belongs to a certain private person or whose land it belongs to.
Soon, Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu came to the Songhu County government office with a box of land deeds, and Sun Xin brought a box of banknotes from the First Bank of Ming Dynasty. Under the witness of everyone,
The two parties conducted a fair transaction and completed this huge land transaction by paying the money and delivering the goods in one hand.
The fields in the hands of both of them are the best fields in Songhu, on both sides of the Huangpu River. The number is as large as 20,000 hectares, almost more than two million acres of land, and they cost Sun Xin more than four million taels of silver.
.
After Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu started, other landowners, gentry, and big families in Songhu also began to find Sun Xin one after another, and sold all their land to Sun Xin at the price of two taels of silver per acre.
There was no way, everyone actually knew that Sun Xin had taken advantage, and they all saw the superior geographical location of Songhu.
But now, except for Sun Xin who is willing to take over and can come up with the million taels of silver at once, no one can take over the land in their hands at once.
Unfortunately, they were so greedy that they borrowed money to acquire a lot of land when they were in high positions. In order to pay off these debts, they all sold their underpants.
The news quickly spread to the capital.
"Songhu bought it. It's really cheap. Two taels of silver per acre is just a cabbage price."
After receiving the letter from Sun Xin, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh happily.
Opening the map and looking at Songhu's location, Liu Jin couldn't help but drool.
Songhu, Shanghai in later generations, a place where every inch of land was valuable, now one acre of land could be acquired with only two taels of silver. The entire Songhu was bought by Liu Jin.
"Tsk, tsk, you don't have to do anything else from now on. Just renting out the land here in Songhu is enough to feed your children and grandchildren."
Liu Jin looked at the location of Songhu and thought of the sky-high housing prices in Shanghai in later generations, and he laughed from ear to ear.
This deal is definitely a huge profit.
"Well, Songhu has been bought. The next step is to find a way to develop Songhu. Shipyards, cement plants, textile factories, and ports must be built first..."
