Chapter five hundred and seventeen: Stud
Cui Zhizheng and Wei Xuanzhen were hanging out on their own.
In this market, Cui Zhizheng gradually developed some concepts.
He suddenly said to Wei Xuanzhen: "Didn't you find the problem?"
Wei Xuanzhen looked at Cui Zhizheng strangely: "Brother Cui doesn't need to keep him in hiding."
Cui Zhizheng was surprised and said, "Look, everyone here is here to buy fine porcelain, right?"
Wei Xuanzhen nodded: "Yes, many merchants are rushing to buy fine porcelain."
Cui Zhizheng said: "But have you discovered that you can only use the IOU from Erpigou Money House to buy Jingci. If they need the IOU, they must first transport specialties from various places, trade with others in Xining, and then get the IOU from the Chen family."
Wei Xuanzhen immediately understood what: "What do you mean is... the Chen family is taking advantage of the Jingci trade, and by the way, they still want to owe money from the Hu people?"
"Yes." Cui Zhizheng said: "After people get the IOU, they will find a way to buy fine porcelain. Of course... it is impossible for all the IOUs to become fine porcelain. What if there is a fraction of the money on hand? Do you have to buy some unwanted goods back? They will definitely think that instead of doing this, it is better to keep it in your hands. The next time the goods are sold, it is more convenient to buy here, right?"
Wei Xuanzhen nodded and said, "And... these merchants can carry limited goods through long distances. If they carry gold or copper coins, there will inevitably be too many inconveniences, but if they have an IOU hidden on their bodies, it will be extremely convenient."
"That's right." Cui Zhizheng couldn't help but say: "The Chen family... really makes money in every transaction. The Hu people took the IOU back. If the Persians returned to Persia, would this IOU be worthless? Even if they didn't want it, they didn't plan to come to Xining. I think in the Persian market, some merchants who planned to come to Xining would acquire these IOUs. In this way... will this IOU start to circulate slowly? Just like the market of fine porcelain, anything, as long as someone needs it, it will be valuable, and as long as it is valuable, there will be people holding it. If more and more people hold it, it will either become an investment product or a currency."
Wei Xuanzhen suddenly shivered and couldn't help but say, "What do you mean is... the Chen family borrowed Xining's Jingci Market, but in fact they have been secretly promoting IOUs?"

"It's not just an IOU." Cui Zhizheng shook his head: "Look at the merchants here. In Chang'an... the most goods are from the Tang Dynasty, and in Tubo, the most goods are from the Tubo. In Persia, in Egypt, or Roman countries, the same is true, right?"
Wei Xuanzhen nodded: "Every country has its own specialties, it's nothing strange."
"But you didn't notice it? The exchange of fine porcelain is the specialties of various countries, and the specialties are extremely abundant. This Xining area connects the Tang Dynasty to the east, the Tubo and Tianzhu to the south, and the Rome, Egypt and Persia to the west. The specialties of various countries are traded here, and they have large reserves of goods. So... Think about it, if you are a Tubo person, if you want to buy Persian goods, where do you think it is more convenient?"
After a pause, he continued, "And if you are a Persian, you want to buy Indian specialties, where is the best Indian specialties?"
"A thoroughfare of several countries?" Wei Xuanzhen frowned: "Here, as long as you can exchange for IOUs, you can buy the properties of all parties in the world?"
"That's right." Cui Zhizheng nodded: "I understand, what is a market? The concentration of goods in the market market. But the world is too big, from the Tang Dynasty to Persia to Tubo, there are natural barriers that cannot be surpassed. It is like, if a person wants to buy daily necessities, he will buy combs ten miles away, mirrors twenty miles away, and salt fifteen miles away on the other end? No, because although these markets are close, the products are not concentrated. But if there is a market, although it is thirty or forty miles away, there are both combs, salt and mirrors inside? Although the journey here is a little longer, there are more options available. In this way, people would rather go to a market farther away to buy goods. This is actually the same."
Speaking of this, Cui Zhizheng said with anger: "So, the so-called quota is actually to use the guise of selling porcelain for us, and to promote his IOU in Xining, under the guise of selling fine porcelain for us, to promote his IOU in this place of Xining. Chen Zhengtai, a beast... He does such a thing again, and he really can't change his eating S."
Seeing Wei Xuanzhen stomping her feet again.
But Cui Zhizheng suddenly became surprisingly calm and advised Wei Xuanzhen: "Don't get angry. At this time, you get angry. Can he admit it when you go to him? Besides... you don't know about this, and you can share a sip of soup with you. If you make a fuss, if he throws apart, we will still lose all our money. Chen Zhengtai is so cunning. He first used the bottle to deceive us. After cheating, he attributed all the blame to Zhu Wenye. After that, he saw that we were going to lose all our money, and then he kindly united us to deceive the Hu people. He deceived the Hu people and blocked the border town of the Tang Dynasty with our power. He turned his head to build this huge city in Xining. This guy... in fact, he has never suffered any losses. He made a lot of money every time."
Wei Xuanzhen was already angry and smoked: "What should we do?"
Cui Zhizheng squinted his eyes and said, "Do you believe the Chen family can build Xining?"
"this……"
"Or, do you believe that Chen Zhengtai, the dog thief, can always succeed in his conspiracy?"
"this……"
Cui Zhizheng said: "If you believe it, buy more land near Xining. Now this is a barren land. The Chen family has raised the land price here a lot, but compared to the inner city, the land here seems to be picked up for free. I plan to pledge all the remaining land of the Cui family after going back and take out a lot of money. Except for the necessary arable land for the family, the rest are replaced with IOUs. Then I am here, and there are stations nearby, so I can buy as much as I can."
Wei Xuanzhen's qi returned to her, but she also felt that Cui Zhizheng's words were somewhat reasonable.
However, Wei Xuanzhen was still hesitant about Cui Zhizheng's belief in Chen Zhengtai's ability so much. He lowered his head and said, "I want to discuss with others..."
Cui Zhizheng gritted his teeth and said, "You must never discuss this kind of thing with others. You must know that if only we buy a piece of land, it will not be worth much money. But you go out and yell, everyone wants to buy it. How much money can you buy at that time? Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei, we have become doctors for a long time and have been cheated so many times. Shouldn't we be smarter now?"
When Wei Xuanzhen heard this, she couldn't help but say, "You really believe so, this place... will it be valuable in the future?"
Cui Zhizheng nodded firmly: "I am too lazy to care about Chen's surname...what do? I only know now that as long as I buy it, I will definitely not suffer any losses."
Wei Xuanzhen still said unsurely: "I think about it again, and after I go back to Chang'an, let's discuss it."
...
Unlike Cui Zhizheng and Wei Xuanzhen, most people are not optimistic about Xining. After all,... they came from Guanzhong, which has been developed for thousands of years, and the barren land outside the pass looks a bit cold.
However, Cui Zhizheng and Wei Xuanzhen were both silent. After looking around, they returned the same way.
Along the way, Cui Zhizheng seemed to have made up his mind, but Wei Xuanzhen felt as if she was hiding her worries. He felt a little unsafe and couldn't help but secretly search for Cui Zhizheng again: "Brother Cui, how could you think so much recently?"
"I'm cheated, can't I reflect on it?" Cui Zhizheng became calm at this time and said, "Get up from wherever I fall. I don't believe it. I lose money on anything I invest in. Our Qinghe Cui family... the family business of dozens of generations cannot be destroyed in the hands of me, Cui Zhizheng."
Wei Xuanzhen then said, "But where did you learn what you said?"
"You forgot the debate between the Newspaper and the Learning Newspaper? Now it seems that Zhu Wenye's thief's words were wrong. So I turned around and took the article Chen Zhengtai in the Newspaper. Think about it, since Chen Zhengtai was correct at the time, the purpose of his doing this may be as Chen Zhengtai himself said, "risk transfer. That is, the risk after the Jingci plummet was transferred from the Chen family to Zhu Wenye's head. Poor Zhu Wenye, he didn't know that he had always been complacent and proud. Therefore, many articles about Jingci investment in some sense are correct."
"If you understand Chen Zhengtai's article, you will understand what investment is, what is worth investing, what is worth investing, what is its value. After you think hard, you will know it in your heart. For example, the reason why the essence porcelain is useless is that it is neither a rare thing, it can be produced continuously, and it does not produce value in itself. If it is a small investment, it may not be without the value of collection and viewing, but once the price reaches more than ten cents, it will inevitably plummet."
"There is another... the land is different. The investment in the land depends on the output. A saline-alkali land cannot produce grain, so it has no value at all. But for the same piece of land, it is a good paddy field, and can continuously plant grain, so its value is ten times or even fifty times that of saline-alkali land. But another idea, if Xining can really become rich in the future, the Tubo people, the Indians, the Persians, the Romans, and the merchants of my Tang Dynasty all trade here, and whether there is any mutual exchange? So... what is the value of this piece of land? Shouldn't it be valuable than a good paddy field? If we build a warehouse there, then its value is ten times that of paddy fields. If we build an inn on top, it may be more valuable than a warehouse. In short... all of this comes from whether it can really increase wealth."
Wei Xuanzhen was confused when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she felt that it made sense, so she nodded subconsciously.
I have to say that Brother Cui is indeed a person who is afraid of being deceived. His mind is so fast now.
After returning to Chang'an, Cui Zhizheng's movements were quick.
He directly sought the money house and mortgaged the remaining land of the Cui family.
But these lands do not have much value. They were originally some land that was just corners. This time, they almost spent all their wealth in their family, and only mortgaged 90,000 yuan.
Originally, these... were just some valuable land. If it were valuable, they would have been mortgaged together when they invested in Jingci.
However, Cui Zhi was moved by the idea, so he directly searched for his third uncle with 90,000 yuan in his arms.
The third uncle had a lot of experience and actually created a map. There were locations for various stations, as well as Shuofang and Xining.
Prices vary in different places.
Cui Zhizheng lowered his head, and he had no interest in the stations along Shuofang and Chang'an.
It’s not that it has no value, but that the wooden tracks have been laid here and have been developed by the Chen family, so the price of the land... is not low.
Cui Zhi was just trying to do it, but he did it big. After all... this is the money from the loan and it has to pay the interest. If it cannot bring greater benefits, even if the land price rises by 50%, after deducting the interest on the loan, there is actually not much profit.
Cui Zhizheng said simply: "I only want the land in Xining, how much does it cost per acre?"
"This is easy to say, it depends on the location. Look at it... it has planned the station, it has planned the market, and here... It is roughly calculated that the land price in Xining is about ten cents acre... You can do it yourself. If you choose, I will send a letter to you and let someone measure it."
Cui Zhizheng took a deep breath, and he looked at the map of Xining and all the plans.
To be honest, the average price of ten acres is simply a robbery of money. The land that can grow grain in Guanzhong is only at this price. In Xining, Xining is thousands of miles away, not to mention that there is no brick house for the ghost place to live in now.
However... Cui Zhizheng still studied the value of each piece of land very seriously, and even took out a book to record the location of each piece of land in the map, and then marked different directions and prices.
The third uncle looked at Cui Zhizheng with a sympathy. This is the head of the Cui family. It has five surnames and seven sects. It was once the highest surname in the world. It has countless wealth, hundreds of thousands of land, herds of cattle and sheep, and tens of thousands of soldiers and servants. It is extremely rich and spends a lot of money.
But look at what people are now... buying a wasteland thousands of miles away, but they are still queuing. The book is filled with notes, and they are lying on the map, like a betrayal dog.
So much so that the turbid old tears almost fell out in the eyes of the third uncle, and I really couldn't bear to lie to others.
Cui Zhizheng studied it carefully, and then repeatedly marked several plots of land, he looked up and said, "Here, here... there is also the land here. I will collect as much as these three places. I have 90,000 guan here. According to the market price here, I will buy 3,000 acres. It is enough."
The third uncle looked down and found that Cui Zhizheng had actually bought the most expensive land, some near the station, some were planned markets, and some were in the city.
He hesitated for a moment and asked seriously: "Do you really want to buy it? If you buy it, you can pay the money, and I can teach you how to measure it."
Cui Zhizheng gritted his teeth and said, "Buy it! I have borrowed all the money, why not buy it? I will deliver it today, that's it."
The third uncle took his mark, then found a friend and explained it to Cui Zhizheng.
Pinching the statute, Cui Zhizheng's hand was trembling.
This is the last little wealth of the Cui family. If they are cheated, they will lose all their money. The whole family, young and old, are going to be ready to hang themselves.
Taking a breath, his eyes firmly became firm and said, "I will hand over the land deed matter to you, and I will do it earlier."
The third uncle said, "It's easy to say. Xining, after measuring the land, we will do our best to do it."
Cui Zhizheng nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Chen, you see, I'm here, I think the meal is coming..."
The third uncle finally couldn't help but fall like a bead chain at this moment.
This was the tears shining with the glory of human nature. He hurriedly said, "Oh...oh... it's so negligent, so I'm so negligent. I'm just not greeting me. Today I'll have a glass of water bar at my Chen family. Brother Cui, please wait a moment, wait a moment, I'll give you some instructions."
Cui Zhi had no expression on the front, but just said oh.
……………………
Chen Zhengtai actually doesn't agree with selling land, he wants to wait for the price.
However, it is actually beneficial to sell it. The development of land cannot be based on just one Chen family. Even if the Chen family has great wealth, it is impossible to develop all the fertile land that has thousands of miles into Guanzhong.
Therefore, more people are involved, which is like a tiger with wings for the Chen family.
When Chen Zhengtai learned that the Cui family was the first to jump out and buy the Chen family’s land in Xining, he couldn’t help but say in surprise: “Oh, I didn’t expect that the Cui family would still have money. This surnamed Cui is indeed the highest surname in the world. It turns out that he has a hand!”
Wu Yu smiled: "Where, I see the money house, there is a new loan, which is the Cui family. The Cui family is almost working as an ancestral home."
"Great courage." Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be amazed: "I really couldn't imagine it, I couldn't imagine... The third uncle is in good health now. He is so old and has been traveling thousands of miles. It's really hard for him."
"When I came back, I was infected with some cold wind. After the doctor went to see it, he said that there was nothing serious. He was in good health and was very happy every day. I heard that he was even more happy when he saw his grandson on the way."
Chen Zhengtai said: "The third uncle is an old horse, and Ying's heart is not regressing. I should learn from him."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai asked again: "Yes, is it only the Cui family who bought land?"
"The Wei family also bought some, but only the Cui family sold the most, which was a desperate bet."
