    "Steward Sun, the entire land of Songhu is now guarded by people like Zheng Liangzuo and Xu Pu, and all of these people have borrowed large amounts of debt from foreign countries, ranging from hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to many.  He even borrowed a million taels of silver."

    In a separate courtyard in Songhu County, Sun Xin was listening to reports from his subordinates.

    Hearing this, Sun Xin finally showed a smile on his face.

    "It seems it's time to close the net. They have gathered the land for us, which has saved us a lot of trouble. You are still smart~"

    ¡°A simple move can make these people obediently sell their land to us willingly.¡±

    "No, they will rush to sell it to us when the time comes."

    "Immediately send this letter back to the capital and tell the young master that the net can be closed."

    "Yes~"

    After doing this, Sun Xin also walked out of the courtyard and came to the outside of Songhu County. He looked at the Huangpu River and then at the paddy fields of the Huangpu River. In his eyes, he seemed to see that in the next few years, here  Tall buildings were built on the ground, turning it into a prosperous city comparable to Tianjin.

    A few days later, above Songhua Tower.

    ¡°Bang~¡±

    "How can this be possible? Instead of opening the port here in Songhu, we have to choose to go to Nanjing."

    "How can Nanjing compare with Songhu?"

    Zheng Liangzuo looked at the latest Ming Dynasty Morning Post sent back from Beijing and Tianjin in disbelief. The Ming Dynasty Morning Post published the memorial of Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet.

    Liu Jian believes that although Songhu has a good geographical location, it does not have a certain foundation. As an open port in the south, the imperial court needs a lot of investment.

    But Nanjing is different. It has a good foundation. The seven voyages of the Three Treasure Eunuchs to the West also started from Nanjing.

    Nanjing is also the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty. There is even a complete team here in Nanjing. When the ports in the south are opened, Nanjing should be chosen instead of Songhu, which is still a paddy field.

    Liu Jian is the chief minister of the cabinet, and his words still carry considerable weight. Now the court is divided into two factions over this matter.

    Among them, the civil servants headed by Liu Jian and Xie Qian believed that Nanjing should be opened up. Nanjing¡¯s geographical location is not bad and its foundation is quite strong, which is very suitable.

    "However, Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu and other military generals and nobles believed that Songhu should be opened up. Although Songhu's foundation is worse than Nanjing, its geographical location is much superior.

    ¡° Moreover, Songhu and Tianjin have many similar places without a foundation, which also means that planning and construction can be better carried out, so it is more appropriate to open up Songhu.

    Both sides have their own reasons. One side supports Nanjing and the other side supports Songhu. But one thing is certain, that is, there will definitely be a new open port in the south.

    "Liu Jian is really dim-sighted. He is from Henan. How does he know the importance of external ports? Geographical location is the key."

    "Although Nanjing has a foundation, there is no way to build large-scale docks and ports here in Nanjing. Unlike Songhu, which is close to the sea and has the Huangpu River, it can build more ports and docks."

    "He actually said nonsense. He has never been to our Songhu, and he actually said that Nanjing is better than our Songhu."

    "It's simply mediocre and mediocre, which is ruining the country~"

    Xu Pu also shouted angrily.

    If the open port in the south is really chosen in Nanjing instead of Songhu, the land they have hoarded will become worthless.

    When they thought of this, everyone present couldn't help but their eyes darkened. Everyone had borrowed a lot of foreign debt to farm. One of the important reasons why those banks, big families, and big businessmen were willing to lend money to them was also  I took a fancy to Songhu¡¯s geographical location.

    This place really has the conditions to become the second Tianjin.

    But if Songhu cannot become an open port in the south, then the land in their hands will be worthless, and the foreign debt borrowed will be enough to crush them.

    ¡°Master, master, it¡¯s not good, it¡¯s not good~¡±

    At this time, someone hurriedly ran over. Before the person went upstairs, the sound had already been heard.

    "It fell, it fell~"

    "The price of our land in Songhu has dropped~"

    "What? Did it fall?"

    As soon as they heard this voice, everyone present suddenly fell into a trance, and then rushed downstairs as if they were desperate.

    &nbspThe price of one is lower than the other.

    At this time, everyone could no longer care about so much. They were all frantically looking for their next home, looking for the original Yankees who were everywhere looking to buy land.

    But it is said that the Yankees went to Nanjing for inspection. Because of this news, the land prices in Nanjing also began to rise.

    By the afternoon of the next day, the land here in Songhu had plummeted to the price of cabbage, and no one cared about the price of a few taels of silver per acre.

    In just two days, the house price in Songhu dropped from the sky-high price of more than 600 taels per acre to just a few taels per acre. The speed was incredible and unbelievable.

    But this is not over yet.

    As more and more debt collectors come to Songhu, the local landlords, gentry, and families in Songhu are having a hard time.

    They frantically raised money and frantically sold everything they could.

    They need money, otherwise they may not even have a place to die, and even their families will be implicated. When the time comes, men will be slaves and women will be prostitutes. This will be the case for generations. That is truly terrifying.  things.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
