C1412 Whose Jiangnan? (1/2)

”Up till now, Jiangnan has actually been in a period of recovery after the war. If there is no great chaos, then the economy will continue to grow in the coming decades!”

”The more people there are, the more developed the business and the greater the wealth …” This kind of economic recovery will naturally appear on the stock market... ”

For example, when the war in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had just ended, maybe he could sell a hundred pieces of silk out of a year of hard work. But after four or five years of economic recovery, he could sell five hundred pieces of silk out of five!

”And ten years from now? How much will the population base of Jiangnan increase in 10 years? How many merchants from all over the world would there be? ”Maybe after ten years of accumulation, this silk house will be able to open a new branch, and sell two thousand pieces of silk each year …”

”Look, this is economic recovery, this is the growth of wealth! ”Unfortunately, this increase in wealth has nothing to do with the civilian population. This is because the original, civilian ownership system has limited the possibility for the civilian population to enjoy the benefits of economic development …”

”Can you imagine a common man with a hundred dollars in paper money going to the house to buy shares? Who would care about him! But the stock market will ignore him, and only in the secondary market will people be able to trade in small quantities! ”

”This is a real ride. It's actually an effective way to close the gap between the rich and the poor. It allows ordinary people to gain a quick economic growth. Even if it's very little, at least they have it!”

With such an explanation, the doubt in Wang Huaiyuan's heart had finally resolved, ”That's true, that's true! This was the reason why the Prime Minister wanted to force a share of the profits … ”We can't let the listed companies just ask for it without paying for it. They suck blood from the entire market, and eventually, they have to replenish blood …”

”If the average annual profit of all the companies in the market is 30%, then the Suzhou Stock Market will increase 30% of the wealth because of the bonus from the merchants! The fact that the Real Gold and Silver was taken out instead stimulated the citizens' desire to invest in the city. After so long, wouldn't the people and business become one? ”

With a ”pa” sound, Xiao Letian slapped his thigh and said, ”You finally understood! This is what I want! Not only the merchants, landlords, and commoners of Jiangnan province have become one with this place, even the officials and the Chinese have become one with this place! ”

”We will invest together and profit together. We will build a big Chinese business. We are a community of interests. Let me ask you, who is going to kiss who?”

With a boom,, Wang Huaiyuan, Sakamoto Ryoma and the others felt as if a ray of sunlight had pierced the dark clouds, the golden light shone on their hearts.

So that was how it was, Xiao Letian started to use these two financial methods, the paper money and the stock market, to infiltrate towards Jiangnan.

No matter how high the barrier was in Qing Dynasty, would it be able to hold on to the softest of water?

”When we tie up with the people of Jiangnan into a community of interests, do I still need to go through all the trouble to formulate a plan for a military occupation? What exactly did we steal from the country? ”

”Do you really think that it is a sand table game? An attack from a county or a prefecture? And then watch as the territory grew larger bit by bit on the map? When multiple forces cross paths, build cities and borders, and then open up an array to fight each other? ”

”Let's see!” ”Let's see how I will lead the Chinese to steal this country!”

The cold wind blew across Xiang Ying's face, and the young Captain stood on the bridge like a sculpture, not moving an inch. He was digesting the huge amount of information that the Prime Minister was talking about, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Cai Bixia walked behind him, and gently pulled his arm. ”What are you thinking about? You've been standing there for over an hour … ”
