Chapter 2271, Returning to the Ming Dynasty again

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the Huangpu River in Songhu, three cruise ships were slowly docking.

    On one of the cruise ships, Liu Jin stood on the deck and looked at both sides of the Huangpu River, recalling in his mind the scene when he first came to Songhu.

    At that time, both sides of the Huangpu River were boundless fields, and the small town of Songhu was pitifully small. This was a land of plenty and a land of Wu language, although it was still considered wealthy.

    But compared with now, it is naturally far from comparable.

    Just a few decades have passed, and earth-shaking changes are taking place here with each passing day. On both sides of the Huangpu River, high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, and bustling commercial districts are bustling with people.  The road stretches as far as the eye can see.

    The road is busy with traffic, people coming and going, and pedestrians are in a hurry, making it very busy.

    This place has already become one of the top three super cities in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even in the world. It has a permanent population of more than 10 million people and is very prosperous.

    Except for the Beijing-Tianjin area of ??the Ming Dynasty, there is no place that can compare with this place.

    The geographical location here is really advantageous. It is at the middle point of the north and south sea routes of the Ming Dynasty. It is in the center whether it is going to the Beijing-Tianjin area or the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, Japan and North Korea.

    To the south are Zhejiang, Fujian, Ryukyu, Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as the Nanyang provinces of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, you can go to the overseas vassal states and colonies of the Ming Dynasty, and you can also go to Australia and Golden Island.

    At the same time, it is located at the outlet of the Yangtze River. The entire Yangtze River Basin is the basic base of Songhu, and the Yangtze River has always been one of the richest areas in the Ming Dynasty.

    In addition, when Liu Jin was still in government and opposition parties, he presided over the project of dredging the Yangtze River channel and building Yangtze River ports and docks, which greatly increased the value of Yangtze River river transportation.

    "Compared with later generations, there is not much difference between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the coastal areas, and the river transportation value of the Yangtze River has been maximized.

    Huguang, Jiangxi, and South Zhili regions are all developing quite rapidly, and the development among the provinces is relatively balanced. This is naturally of great benefit to Songhu, and it also greatly promotes the development of the Songhu region.

    Of course, there is another very important factor, that is, almost all the land in Songhu belongs to Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao.

    In order to buy the entire Songhu, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao spent millions of taels of silver.

    The millions of taels of silver at that time are not comparable to the millions of taels of silver today. At that time, overseas gold and silver had not flowed into the Ming Dynasty on a large scale. The silver and gold in the Ming Dynasty were very small and of extremely high value.

    At that time, ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to save a tael of silver throughout the year, and the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty treasury was only 3 million taels of silver a year.

    At that time, a few million taels of silver was a truly huge sum of money. Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao used this money to buy almost the entire Songhu.

    Nowadays, it can be said that the entire Songhu belongs to Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao. Liu Jin has always had extremely detailed and reasonable planning for these lands.

    Residential areas, industrial areas, commercial areas, etc., everything is neatly planned, which is also an important reason for the rapid development of Songhu.

    Because it has an extremely detailed and long-term plan, it can plan the correct path suitable for the development of Songhu.

    Of course, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao¡¯s initial investment also received huge returns beyond imagination.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Because Liu Jin has no intention of selling the land in his hands at all, all the land is only for rent but not for sale, except for the fact that his real estate firm has developed a large number of real estate projects.

    ???????? All other land is only for rent and not for sale, no matter how much money is paid, the rent can be cheaper, the long-term stable income can also be continuously improved with the prosperity of Shengye, and the income is very considerable.

    Every year, the income from land leasing, shop leasing, advertising income, house leasing, and factory leasing here in Songhu is extremely huge, and it can receive huge income of hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

    This can be received every year, and it can still increase every year. In fact, with the development of Songhu, Tianjin, Beijing and other regions, the income growth of this area has always been very steady, which is the key factor for many industries in Liujin.  The industry under his command is the most capable of providing abundant cash flow.

    ??The current income from the millions of taels of silver at the beginning is simply impossible to calculate.

    &The greatest benefit is that almost all the land and resources in the world are occupied.

    Not only has it become the largest country in the world, it also has a large number of colonies and vassal states. In the final analysis, these colonies and vassal states also belong to the Ming people and are occupied by their own people.

    ¡°Moreover, the people of Ming Dynasty also embarked on the road of capitalism, industrialization, and technology. With the development of various factors, the powerful Ming Empire was born.

    ¡°If we only relied on either capitalism or colonialism, it would not have been enough to make the Ming Empire undergo such earth-shaking changes in just a few decades.

    This is the result of a combination of multiple factors.

    Colonization brought a large amount of land, resources and wealth to the Ming Empire, and moved a large number of Ming people out, which greatly alleviated the contradiction between man and land and the internal contradictions in the Ming Dynasty.

    The rapid development of capitalism made the Ming Empire quickly become rich, and at the same time further promoted the development of Ming's overseas colonies, because the development of capitalism requires more markets and sources of raw materials.

    The development of science and technology and industry has also further accelerated the development of all this. Without science and technology and industry, the development of colonization and capitalism will become extremely slow. It is difficult to say that in just a few decades, it has gone through hundreds of others.  A road that can only be traveled in years.

    Of course, in itself, the huge population and size of the Ming Empire cannot be compared with European countries. Spain, Portugal, England, France, etc. that colonized early in history were all small and had small populations.

    Their colonization of the world is mainly based on plundering precious metal wealth. Only when industry and technology develop to a certain level will they have the ability to truly colonize the world.

    The Ming Empire was different. Apart from anything else, in terms of colonization alone, the Ming Empire could easily move millions of people to new lands.

    With such a huge population, European countries simply cannot provide it. During this period, the population size of European countries generally ranged from a few million, and it was impossible to say that they would move out all their millions of people.

    You can only establish colonial strongholds, each with hundreds or thousands of people, relying on colonial trade to earn a large amount of gold, silver, etc.

    ??The Ming Empire can occupy large areas and large areas of land on a large scale, and directly turn a piece of land into its own territory, not just plundering gold and silver.

    This is why the Ming Empire was able to go through a path that took Europeans hundreds of years to go through in just a few decades, because the Ming Empire was large enough and had enough population, capital and market.

    PS: Please vote~~ It¡¯s a bit long-winded!
