Although North Korea is small and poor, it is actually a country rich in gold and silver mines. If you look at that location, you can see that it is at the junction of the continental plates, and it is somewhat mineralized.

In the past, it was not famous for its rich gold and silver production, because the level of mining technology was relatively weak, and at the same time, the government's supervision of mines was relatively strict. After King Yeongjo and King Jeongjo, the mining industry in North Korea gradually became prosperous. This was because the land finances of the imperial court collapsed and they were forced to find new sources of money.

It is also because of the gradual development of the commodity economy that the market needs more general equivalents. You must not ask for cash when importing goods from Japan and the Qing Kingdom. Excessive and extravagant upper-class rulers need gold and silver to decorate their lives.

Silver or something is not a problem. If gold can be collected from North Korea, it will be beneficial for the shogunate to further establish and stabilize the gold standard.

Besides, in a cold-blooded way, what will happen to the outflow of gold from Li Chao? What does it have to do with my shogunate?

So Chuemon turned around and summoned Honchi Zen. When he learned that the shogunate would entrust him, a military logistics contractor of the shogunate, to exchange reserve rice for North Korean gold, he almost jumped in joy. .

Speculation is over, hoarding strange things, if Hong Chi Shan doesn't know how to do it, it will blind the inheritance of their family for more than 200 years. The shogunate used its own reserves of rice to make capital for him, which would be equivalent to no capital and great profits.

And the gold shogunate earned is not needed, it is directly stored in the bank opened by Hong Chi Shan later, as a reserve, and all of it is handed over to him for future banknotes. In short, there is a lot of oil and water in here, not one or two.

Honchi Zen, who had left with great gratitude, informed Yataro Iwasaki, who was queuing at the door, that he could go in.

Yataro Iwasaki bowed his head to Hong Chi Shan, and the two greeted him cordially. They are all the white gloves of the shogun Tokugawa Tadamasa, who come and go often, so don't get too close.

Yataro Iwasaki, who was originally a jealous boy, had already lost some of his edges and corners in the big dye vat of the shogunate, and became a sleek and shrewd businessman. Long sleeves and good dance means, even if Hongchi is good at seeing, he must give a thumbs up.

This time, he had just returned to Yokohama from Shanghai, and he had something important to report to Chuemon. This important matter has a lot to do with the shogunate.

Shanghai Concession Real Estate is on fire!

Why is it on fire? Because of the great savior of the Shanghai gentry, the current number one general in Manchuria, General Dolong Ado, who was born in the white flag of Manchuria, the number one slave in the sky, is the queen mother of the two palaces and the little emperor, desperately guarding Jiang The customs duty of 6,830,000 two years of silver has already sealed the world post of the third-class light truck captain.

He used the shallow-water heavy gunboats sold by the shogunate to the Qing court as fast-moving cannons. The vast majority of the Taiping army outside Shanghai has been defeated, and the situation in Shanghai has been temporarily stabilized.

Not only did the people in Shanghai feel at ease, but the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were increasingly desperate to escape to the Shanghai Concession in order to save their lives and family wealth.

For this reason, there has been a very "horrific" market in the real estate within the Shanghai Concession. After all, there are many people and few rooms, so gentlemen can't live in the open air, and they can only buy ready-made houses and small buildings to live in.

The price changes almost every day, and it has more than tripled compared to the previous scene when the wind and trees were full of turmoil.

More than two years ago, Yataro Iwasaki went to the Shanghai Concession with hundreds of thousands to buy land and build a house. In addition to building the Shanghai branch of Tokugawa Industrial, he also built the current Japanese consulate. The rest of the land purchased is to build various shops and western-style buildings.

In addition, the land in the concession was made with Bailey Court, Bulbronn and others. They lost a stake, and the shogunate gave out a small amount of money, which was roughly equivalent to taking it for nothing. In fact, the main expenses are still building houses and paying workers.

According to the current price, I am afraid it will be sold for more than two or three million pounds.

It is indeed a huge sum of money, and looking at the current situation, because Shanghai is the only safe boundary in the entire Jiangnan region. Foreigners also sent troops to guard, and the Qing court also sent troops to guard, so the price of real estate will continue to rise. It is even possible that not only Chinese capital but also foreign capital will enter Shanghai's real estate market on a large scale.

In the end is to hold real estate, wait and see the market. Or just let it go and make a fortune?

The money was given by Chuemon, and Yataro Iwasaki didn't dare to specialize in it, so he came to ask about it. After all, two or three million pounds is enough for an ironclad to buy a small fleet.

After he walked in and briefly explained the internal and external situation in Shanghai, as well as the prospects of real estate, Zhongyouemon was secretly delighted. The shogunate is indeed not too short of money now, but after all, there are many businesses that need to be launched. If the money can be deposited into the account, two things can be done well.

The idea of ​​Yataro Iwasaki, who was sitting at the start of Chuemon Gate, was actually to wait. He felt that the war between the Qing court and the Taiping Army might not end in a while. As long as the war is not over, Shanghai's real estate will remain high. Sell ​​it now, although it is already profitable, but it will definitely be more profitable to continue to hold.

He was right, because just this year, the total population of the concession exceeded 500,000 for the first time. Basically, half of the wealthy people in Jiangnan fled to the Shanghai concession. The real estate bubble in the concession will not burst until after the 1980s.

But now, Tokugawa Xingye still holds a lot of land, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com has not yet built a new residence, and the future can be expected. The second is to withdraw some of the funds first, which can facilitate further business expansion in Shanghai.

And to tell the truth, real estate is poison, and it will evolve from one sip to 100 million.

In the 1980s, when the Shanghai real estate bubble burst and hundreds of people committed suicide, it was better to get some business instead of dying so fast.

Besides, the house was sold, and there was a project to promote behind Chuemon. Three million pounds would be enough to start the whole project.

So without further ado, Chuemon hesitated for a while and then ordered Yataro Iwasaki to start selling properties in Shanghai held by Tokugawa Industrial. Sell ​​it first, and stop when you sell enough for three million. The rest can be released slowly, just as cash flow, to be charged into the Shanghai branch of Tokugawa Industrial.

As for the three million earned from selling the house, he immediately tried to transfer it back to Edo. It is best to find a way to convert it into gold, that will be more perfect.
