Chapter 1813: Ren Zijuan’s theory reveals the truth

If something goes wrong with this profit that everyone is most optimistic about, the only hope is to borrow money from Haitong Bank.

 But a loan is a loan after all, and the principal and interest must be paid. How can it be compared with the benefits of "eating from a big owner"? It is almost like robbery with nothing, and it has no cost and no big sequelae.

"Antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times. Now that the imperial court is about to put an end to chaos, there will be a series of wars from Shandong to Huguang. Although we are very confident, what about those gentry and merchants?" Huang Ruliang sighed softly, "It's easy to hide antiques. , such as those larger-sized miscellaneous items, and the largest mansion, what good price can I buy? Who will buy it? I am not only worried that the price will not sell, but also worried that no one will take care of it. "

Huang Ruliang’s words made everyone’s hearts sink.

The sale after the major Jingtong Ercang case was sold at a considerable price, which made everyone have high hopes for the sale. However, when Huang Ruliang said this, he realized that the situation was completely different. .

At that time, the sellers could generously invite businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River to come north to the capital to participate in the sale, and even create various publicity campaigns. Whether it was ordinary objects, antiques or mansions, everyone could offer a good price, but the current situation But completely different.

 First, those who are willing to buy have already made a wave of purchases, and their consumption power has been consumed once. Now their purchasing power and willingness to buy are much weaker, and many things may not be sold.

Second, whether everyone admits it or not, a war is imminent. It is not wrong to say that it is a period of war. Everyone wants to hold gold and silver in their hands.

Antiques cannot be sold at high prices, and mansions are even less popular.

After all, this is in the capital. What if Nanjing wins? Will these purchased mansions be taken back by the victor through various means?

Also, even if Nanjing admits the sale results, what if the capital is settled in Nanjing and never returns to the capital? Then the prices of these residences in Capital City will definitely face a sharp drop.

Everyone knows that this capital city is a consumer city, which is entirely supported by the status of the capital. It is far from comparable to cities with a stronger commercial nature such as Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Guangzhou. If it loses its political status as a capital, it will The glory is fading quickly, and it is impossible to support a population of millions. Once the population is lost, what is the value of the houses in this city?

But now, the number of mansions jointly inspected by Long Jinwei, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate totals more than 120. According to the normal market price during the Jingtong Ercang case, they could be sold for at least eight More than one million taels, even at the current market price, six million taels is more than enough. But now that everyone thinks about it, they feel that this is not only too optimistic, but also a bit wishful thinking.

After being poured cold water on his head, Ye Xianggao calmed down first. Huang Ruliang was his township party and confidant, and he also understood the importance and would not lie on these issues. "Tomorrow, even if there are these factors, but these The location, architecture, and interior decoration of the mansion are all top-notch, so it’s not like no one cares about it.”

"Sir, the location is certainly good, but these mansions are almost all mansions of princes and uncles. Not to mention ordinary people, even those who have the financial resources to buy them will face the problem of exceeding the limit when buying them. For example, if the Tao family is raided, who will sell it to the Prince of Nan'an County? In the past, the court would check and keep it, and then reward the meritorious officials at the right time. But now the court is in a difficult situation and wants to sell it. Who should it be sold to? When merchants buy it, they have to face the problem. Not only do you need to spend a lot of money to make major changes, but the result may not be satisfactory, so how can you spend less money to buy a house and build it according to your wishes?"

 Huang Ruliang also spent a lot of time on this.

The mansion is the biggest harvest from the inspection. How to sell it at a good price is hard for him.

 He went to ask people to inquire about it, and found that there were very few people in the capital who were interested in buying these mansions.

If it were kept for two years, when the Southern Expedition was over, it might be possible to sell it at a good price, but the court could not wait until that time.

There are a lot of officials, gentry, and merchants in the capital city, but the number of people who can really afford such a big mansion is still limited, and they either have their own mansion, or they are not willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, even if If he is willing to buy it, he is also more willing to buy some smaller houses. As far as he knows, almost no one is willing to buy a truly large mansion like the Prince's Palace.

But such large mansions can often be sold for two to three hundred thousand or even four to five hundred thousand silver, which is better than ten ordinary mansions. If these mansions cannot be sold, then they are really in trouble, and hope The goals achieved are somewhat elusive.

Now Huang Ruliang no longer dares to expect an income of 5 million to 6 million. If he can sell for 3 million, he will be Amitabha. But even so, he feels that it is very difficult.

Huang Ruliang’s answer silenced everyone present, except Qi Yongtai.

Qi Yongtai thought for a while and then said: "From tomorrow onwards, Ziying and I will also talk about this inspection and sale. The sales results of the goods obtained from the second warehouse of Jingtong last time were very good. Shuntian Mansion should also have some Experience, although the situation is different this time, the quantity seized is also much larger. When he talked to me, he also mentioned that even though he was not as optimistic as last time, if sufficient preparations were made, we could still achieve better results than last time. There won’t be much difference in profit.”

 “Oh?” Huang Ruliang perked up, and the others were all thinking intently.

 Huang Ruliang was pleasantly surprised, while several others had mixed emotions.

The reason why he is in a complicated mood is because Huang Ruliang is already very pessimistic, and it is quite difficult to convey the meaning in his words, but now Feng Ziying can actually say that he has achieved profits that are not much worse than the last time. Feng Ziying has too many tricks. Bar?

 Huang Ruliang was the first to ask: "Brother Chengfeng, did Ziying say what method he had?"

"He didn't say that. He only said that there must be some other conditions, otherwise it would be impossible." Qi Yongtai smiled, "When we get down, we might as well talk to Ziying tomorrow, and we will definitely be able to come up with a strategy."

In fact, Feng Ziying had thought of this a long time ago. With the court now in such a tight situation, it was impossible not to hand over the food from Yongping Prefecture or Shuntian Prefecture to the court, but what would the court do if it had no money, so it had to do it for them? He found a way to make money, so he spared no effort to ask Gu Dengfeng to go to Jiangnan to persuade those Jiangnan businessmen.

Buying a house anonymously is equivalent to the investment certificate submitted by Jiangnan merchants. It not only raises money for the imperial court, but also helps Jiangnan merchants to a certain extent. It also prevents the imperial court from being embarrassed and having no way to stand on both sides when it is desperate. Next, Feng Ziying believed that she had done her utmost to be benevolent and righteous.

Of course, Feng Ziying had not imagined that since she was so dedicated to planning for the court, the court could convert her, the acting Shuntian Prefecture Yin, into a regular official.

However, this idea was so unrealistic that he didn't even dare to bring it up to Qi Yongtai, or even hint at it. Even if there was a chance, Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia would naturally consider it for themselves. Just because it was impossible, That's why they will try every means to avoid someone coming to replace Shuntian Fuyin, and let themselves continue to act.

In modern terms, it is to continue to preside over the work and let the organization continue to examine itself. During this stage, as long as you can continue to make achievements, in the end, the court will finally realize that it is unreasonable not to give you a title. At that time, if Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia come to add fuel to the flames, maybe it will happen.

Feng Ziying also cherishes such an opportunity, because the opportunities in Shuntian Prefecture are really not comparable to ordinary prefectures like Yongping Prefecture, especially when the North-South War is about to start, Shandong will bear the brunt of the battle, and the hinterland of Beizhili Gyeonggi Province When it becomes the most important rear area, the various challenges faced by Shuntian Mansion are actually opportunities. This can just become a big stage for them to show themselves.

 The food issue will become a link that no one can get around, and if you can do your best, you should naturally receive more attention, influence and benefits.

 So when Huang Ruliang approached him, he went without hesitation and told everything about his strategy.

"Okay, okay, good means!" Huang Ruliang was overjoyed, and was so excited that he paced back and forth in the public hall with his hands behind his back: "This can be said to kill three birds with one stone! It raised money for the court, **** Jiangnan businessmen, and also allowed the Nanjing puppet The court is suspicious, Ziying, you might as well let out some news, saying that these were bought by officials and gentry hiding in Nanjing, and they are certificates of submission to the court..."

Unexpectedly, Huang Ruliang was even more ruthless. Feng Ziying also felt that she seemed to have underestimated the other party, but even if the other party did not bring it up, Feng Ziying planned to do this. She is not a poisonous husband.

"Sir, as long as the imperial court agrees to purchase anonymously and recognizes that the purchase receipt will be used as a basis to support the imperial court, who can say that there are not those Jiangnan officials who entrust people to buy it? When the time comes, you can get away with it by relying on the receipt, so why not?" Feng Ziying He is also small and insidious. He just suggested that the specific implementation should be handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs. What a great thing. "And Xiaguan has also specially contacted Yangzhou salt merchants, Longyou, Dongting, Ningbo merchants and Hui merchants through channels. Invitations were sent out, and they all responded positively,…”

"Really?" Huang Ruliang got another surprise, "Ziying, then you have really helped the court a lot. Did these people really agree to come? Could it be that they agreed verbally but broke the promise in the end?"

Feng Ziying smiled confidently: "Xiaguan always treats people sincerely, and all the people he interacts with are honest people. I will not be disappointed."
