    On the cement road leading from Beijing to Tianjin, more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages drove very smoothly on the platform and open cement road. These more than ten four-wheeled carriages were very luxurious, with extremely exquisite workmanship and decoration, even  Even the horses pulling the cart are top-quality horses from the grassland.

    The horses in each four-wheeled carriage are all the same color, either uniform white or uniform red, making these carriages suddenly become the focus of the bustling road, and the people around them are all guessing which one it is.  The big shots are out.

    In one of the carriages, British Duke Zhang Mao, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Fu, and Xu Guangzuo of Dingguo Palace were sitting together. Compared with traditional carriages, this four-wheeled carriage is larger, wider, and more durable.  smooth.

    It is very smooth when walking on the cement road, and it is becoming more and more popular now. While riding a carriage, invite a few friends on the carriage to have a drink and chat together. It is definitely the best way to kill a boring journey.  .

    ¡°I haven¡¯t been to Tianjin for a few months, and it¡¯s become more prosperous and lively here again.¡±

    Xu Guangzuo opened the car window curtains and saw people coming and going on the cement road, which was very lively. Looking at the Tianjin New Town in the distance, tall buildings were rising from the ground, and there were busy scenes everywhere.

    "Yeah, I think Tianjin is more energetic. Tsk tsk, these high-rise buildings are already built with seven or eight floors. We can't build them as high here in Beijing."

    Zhang Mao also expressed emotion on his face. Concrete and steel-reinforced buildings are very popular in Tianjin. Of course, this was also brought about by Tianjin Real Estate.

    Tianjin Real Estate is a real estate company under Liu Jin that specializes in building and selling houses. In addition to high-end and elegant communities such as Moon Bay, Tianjin Real Estate has also begun to imitate later generations and built some commercial suites with seven or eight floors.  Come for sale.

    The price of this type of house is relatively low, and a house only costs a few dozen taels of silver. The supporting facilities are very complete. In addition to the lack of elevators, running water, toilets, and kitchens are all very complete.  Although the house is small in size, it is fully functional, so it is very popular now.

    Once launched, it became popular immediately, and the profit is even higher than that of a community like Jian Yueliangwan, so it has now become a new product promoted by Tianjin Real Estate.

    Because Tianjin has taken the lead in the industry, many people have also seen the profits of commercial housing, so many people have followed the example of Tianjin Real Estate and started to develop this real estate, which in turn has promoted the development of the entire Tianjin New City.

    "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Liu Jin are also planning to imitate Tianjin here in the capital and build a new city outside the capital. Do you know this?"

    Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu carefully looked at the Tianjin New City in front of him. Everything was neatly planned, spacious roads, clean streets, high-rise buildings on both sides, busy shops on both sides, dense flow of people, all  Everything is different from here in Beijing. It looks very novel and makes people feel full of vitality.

    "I've heard about this too, and I'm planning to find a time to ask Liu Jin. This guy doesn't want to take us to get rich now. It seems that I have to find a time to introduce him to beautiful women."

    Zhang Mao nodded, then touched his beard and said.

    He has one thing in mind when doing things now, which is to follow Liu Jin. Whatever Liu Jin does, he will do what he does and keep it to make money.

    "Ahem~"

    Hearing Zhang Mao¡¯s words, Xu Guangzuo couldn¡¯t help but cough a few times. I am Liu Jin¡¯s brother-in-law. Can you say this in front of me?

    "This time he asked us to come to Tianjin, so we can take the opportunity to ask him carefully. To build a new city, we will invest thousands of taels of silver in it. If we can't make money, won't we suffer heavy losses? It's better to ask clearly.  good."

    Zhu Fu thought for a while and said.

    Since ancient times, building a new city has been a very huge project. Generally, only the imperial court can handle it. It often recruits hundreds of thousands of people to build the city before it can build a new city.

    The investment is very huge.

    If you don¡¯t use the power of the imperial court to build a new city, and you just rely on money to build a new city, the investment will be very terrifying.

    Zhu Fu couldn¡¯t even imagine how much money would be needed to invest in this new city. If you just throw a million taels of silver into it, you probably wouldn¡¯t even see a splash.

    "Xu Guangzuo, you are Liu Jin's brother-in-law after all. Do you know why he asked us to come to Tianjin this time?"

    Zhang Mao nodded, then thought about it and asked Xu Guangzuo.

    "Mr. Zhang, I don't know either.""Yes, as long as we can dig out their roots, it doesn't matter if we lose money now. It's just money, just smash it."

    Zhu Fu also nodded and said very grandly. Now they are really very rich. Various industries under their command have begun to have high returns, which makes their pockets continue to expand. He is also confident when he says this.  .

    "We can still make money from more than ten cents per pound of salt. Losing money will not cause us to lose money, but our profits will be affected in the short term. But after we defeat these salt merchants, we will increase the price appropriately.  Our profits will also be very considerable.¡±

    Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu. It seemed that he had had many conflicts with these salt merchants in the past. Most of them were jealous of not being able to eat the cake.

    After thinking about it, he said with a smile. Liu Jin's words also greatly boosted the confidence of the shareholders of the Changlu Salt Farm present. In fact, like the salt merchants, they felt that the cost of salt was very high. It must be sold for more than ten yuan per pound.  He was going to lose money, but now he is still making money.

    "Old Liu, just go ahead and do it. It would be best to kill all these salt merchants. Hum~ I have long been unhappy with them. They wanted to rob our property last year. That is to say, my father is soft-hearted. If I  , they have all been chopped down long ago.¡±

    Zhu Houzhao also seemed a little angry. He was very angry when he thought about what happened last year. These salt merchants, Anhui merchants and the Jiangnan Shilin behind them were simply audacious and dared to get involved in the imperial power.

    According to Zhu Houzhao, these people should all be killed. Emperor Hongzhi was still too merciful and merciless. He only killed a few leading Huizhou merchant families and punished some officials from Jiangnan.

    "Yes~"

    Liu Jin nodded quickly, what he needs is your words so that he can be free to deceive these salt merchants.

    ¡°You brat, do you have any clever ideas to trick those salt merchants?¡±

    Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin, thought for a while and asked.

    "Actually, it's not my idea, it's them seeking death themselves."

    ¡°Now those salt merchants are buying the salt from our Changlu Salt Farm on a large scale. They feel that our costs are very high. At this price, we are losing money and making money.¡±

    "So on the one hand, they are constantly lowering the market price and subsidizing money to the salt merchants below them. On the other hand, they are also eating our salt on a large scale. They feel that if we buy a pound of salt from us, we will lose the corresponding money.  The more, the more we lose.¡±

    "How do they know that although we have to pay two million taels of silver every year and give profits to dealers, our costs are actually very, very low. A pound of salt only costs a few cents."

    ¡°The more they buy, the more we earn. Now there is a surplus of salt in Changlu Saltworks, and they have just bought it all.¡±

    Liu Jin explained the current situation to everyone. When he said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

    After several days of investigation and testing, Liu Jin is now certain that the salt merchants are using this method to bring down the Changlu Saltworks.

    This played into Liu Jin¡¯s plan. The output of the Changlu Salt Field was very terrifying. Once it was fully operational, and in the summer, the salt produced could definitely suffocate all these salt merchants.

    "Great, now I can take out all their money."

    When Zhang Mao and others heard this, they all laughed happily.

    "It's not that easy to empty them out, and they are not fools. If we want them to keep pocketing money, we still need to work hard, so we will do some superficial work every once in a while to let them  They feel that we are losing money, and it is a big loss, and we need to keep paying money."

    "Only in this way can they keep throwing money in, and then all their money can be taken out."

    Liu Jin smiled and said, these salt merchants are all ghosts and ghosts. It is not that easy to drain their money, but Liu Jin can also create some illusions for them to see and let them keep pocketing their money.  , the more money they pay, the deeper and deeper they will slowly get, and eventually they will be really stuck in, unable to get out, and they can only follow to the end, and lose nothing in the end.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
