    In an inn in Songhu County, Sun Xin was carefully sorting out the intelligence collected by his men.

    This time he came to Songhu to buy land under Liu Jin's order. Naturally, he needed to have a detailed understanding of Songhu and find out the situation in Songhu, so that he could better complete what Liu Jin had told him.  task.

    ¡°It¡¯s such a good place. The outlet of the Yangtze River radiates to the richest areas in the entire Ming Dynasty. Along the Yangtze River, you can also go to Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and South Zhili. These places are the land of plenty in the Ming Dynasty.¡±

    ¡°To the north you can go to Shandong and Beizhili, to the south you can go to Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Ryukyu. There is no other good place like this in the entire Ming Dynasty.¡±

    "In terms of maritime trade, from the north you can go to Korea, Japan, and the Golden Continent, but you can't go to the South China Sea and Australia."

    ¡°What a great place, what a great place, the young master has great vision.¡±

    After carefully studying Songhu¡¯s location, Sun Xin couldn¡¯t help but nod.

    Songhu is a good place. In the past, when it was mainly agriculture and there was no sea ban, we still couldn¡¯t see the importance of Songhu.

    Now that Ming Dynasty's maritime trade is becoming more and more developed, and there are more and more ships, Songhu's position is suddenly highlighted.

    Relying on the Yangtze River, backed by the richest Jiangnan area, and located in the middle of the north and south coastlines of the Ming Dynasty, this is definitely the best geographical location of the Ming Dynasty.

    "If Songhu develops, I'm afraid it will soon surpass Tianjin~"

    "Well, we have to find a way to buy as much land as possible. In the future, the land here will be like the land in Tianjin. Every inch of land is valuable."

    Sun Xin looked at the map of Songhu, and his eyes began to shine.

    Nowadays, the land in Tianjin is very expensive. The key is that there is a price but no market, because most of the land is in the hands of Liu Jin. Liu Jin plans and develops the land in Tianjin in an orderly and step-by-step manner.  .

    ??And it will not be sold to the outside world. All the land will be developed by Liu Jin himself or used for rent. In short, it will not be sold.

    There is still a small amount of land in Tianjin that is in the hands of local Tianjin people, and the price of this land has skyrocketed.

    The closer you get to Tianjin New City, the more expensive the land becomes. In the past, an acre of land cost just a few taels of silver, and no one wanted the saline-alkali land and tidal flats on the seashore.

    Nowadays, an acre of land costs thousands of taels of silver. The key is that there is no place to buy it if you have money.

    Realizing the importance of Songhu¡¯s location, Sun Xin knew that the land in Songhu would definitely be very valuable in the future.

    "The location on both sides of the Huangpu River is the best. Large areas of ports and terminals can be built here in the future. The land on both sides of the Huangpu River will be given priority."

    Sun Xin studied the map carefully and focused on both sides of the Huangpu River.

    With the goal in mind, Sun Xin began to take action and began to arrange for people to buy fields on both sides of the Huangpu River on a large scale.

    However, Sun Xin soon became worried again, because in this era, the transfer of fields was very rare.

    Most people would not sell the land in their hands easily, because in the concept, the land is something left by the ancestors. It cannot be sold easily, but it is something that must be passed down forever.

    "If you sell your family's property, it is the behavior of a prodigal, and you will be scolded.

    This concept is deeply rooted, especially in the Jiangnan region.

    Because the Jiangnan area is very wealthy and has a lot of people, as long as the family has some paddy fields, they can live a pretty good life, and the willingness to sell the fields is even lower.

    "This is going to be very difficult. This is land that even money can't buy~"

    When the news came to Sun Xin, Sun Xin couldn't help but frown.

    I was holding boxes and boxes of banknotes from the First Bank of Ming Dynasty in my hand, but I couldn¡¯t even buy them.

    He also tried many methods and took the initiative to approach the landowners and gentry here, saying that he was willing to buy their land at a price that was twice or even three times higher than the market price.

    But these landowners and gentry don¡¯t care at all, they don¡¯t even think about it, and the land just won¡¯t be sold.

    "This is something passed down from our ancestors. It must not be sold. If you sell it, you will be a prodigal."

    "There is no other way. I can only write a letter back to see if there is anything the young master can do."

    After much thought, Sun Xin could not think of any solution. He could only write a letter back to the capital to see if Liu Jin could do anything.Under the control of a group of villains, upright gentlemen are plotted against by villains. The emperor loves villains and distances himself from virtuous ministers. He values ??profits and neglects justice. Let's take a look at some of the things the court is doing now.  "

    ¡°Everyone here in the north wants to go to sea to do business, and everyone wants to go to the Golden Continent to dig gold. Everyone only sees yellow and white things, but they have already completely forgotten the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.¡±

    "This year, the imperial court launched another large-scale campaign against the Japanese, forcing the vassal states to sign alliances under the city walls. I heard some time ago that they were sending troops to the northern grasslands. This is a militancy and a warlike attitude that will lead to death~"

    Xu Pu looked at the crowd and let out a long sigh, looking worried and concerned about the country and the people.

    Of course, when people around him looked at him, he was a bit depressed and frustrated, but he had no way to serve the country. Although he had been elected, he couldn't get an official position.

    He could not pass the Jinshi examination and was not an official, so he often criticized the current ills and blamed all of this on problems in the court.

    He thought it was because the imperial court had traitors who suppressed people like them who were born in the south of the Yangtze River, so he failed to pass the Jinshi examination and could not become an official.

    I am often depressed and frustrated, and anything can be related to it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
