Qinzhou Port is still under construction and is beginning to take shape.
However, more and more merchant ships have come, not only the merchant ships of the Nanyang Company, but also the merchant fleet of the Baodao Commercial Bank, and these two commercial houses are the first to seize the business opportunities.
They brought countless construction materials to the construction site of Qinzhou Port, and also brought in a shipload of goods.
These handmade goods from the Central Plains were unloaded through the port of Qinzhou, and then introduced to all parts of Guangxi along the Qinjiang, Zuojiang, and Manjiang rivers.
Although Guangxi is backward, the Han wealthy families and the leaders of Xi Yuan here are very rich.
A variety of handmade goods and daily necessities in the Central Plains are very popular with them.
Guangxi itself also has many product resources, rice, medicinal herbs, wood, dried fruits, and even pearls and rice noodles are all good.
In the past, Han merchants were rarely able to penetrate into the interior of Guangxi, all because thieves were rampant since the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the lords of all sides and those Han chieftains also divided their own sides, and there were many checkpoints.
The trade was basically controlled by the Han chiefs, and it was difficult for others to get in.
Most of the Han merchants transported goods to the coast and then sold them to them, and they monopolized the operation.
This mode of operation has made Feng Chen and his family make a lot of money, and it has also caused many restrictions on the market.
And now, the two commercial houses have Li Chao's approval, unimpeded in Guangxi, and no one dares to charge their checkpoint fees, the two commercial houses have their own fleets, have their own sources of goods, and the cost of goods is much lower than the previous ones, so they sell at much lower prices, which is very popular.
"Recently, a lot of new merchant ships have come every day, belonging to different trading houses, and there are even many ship owners who run the order gang.
It is said that there are rumors on the sea that there is an opportunity to make a fortune. ” Businessmen are always profit-seeking, and when they find a business opportunity, they will smell like a cat smelling fish.
In the past, there was a market in Guangxi, but there were no channels, and businessmen could not come in to get a piece of the pie, but now, Li Chao has opened up a market for them, provided channels, and established trade routes, and businessmen naturally want to come and make money.
Li Chao is very supportive of businessmen, as long as he does not evade taxes, he is a good businessman.
From Guangzhou to Qinzhou and then to Jiaozhou, this coastal road is now controlled by Li Chao, Guangzhou Port, Yangjiang Port, Zhanjiang Port, Bopan Port, Leizhou Port, Xuwen Port, Luozhou Port, Hepu Port, Qinzhou Port, Jiaozhou Port.
Large port and small port, there are many ports, and the supply is convenient.
It is also very safe, and now this line is guarded by the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty under Li Chao, and there are officials and tax collectors appointed by Li Chao in each port.
"Recently, there have been a lot of people who have come to buy land and property."
The merchants were the first to come, but they were not the last group of people, followed by their footsteps were the nobles, powerful bureaucrats, landlords, and businessmen from the Central Plains, in short, with the news of Li Chao's pacification of the Lingnan rebellion, especially after Li Chao's large-scale redivision of the Lingnan two Guangxi and nearly 100 prefectures into two provinces and 22 prefectures, these people with status and wealth also immediately saw the opportunity.
That is the land of Lingnan.
In the past, Lingnan was a forbidden place for the lords and slang chiefs, but now, there is no doubt that this huge treasure land has been opened.
The imperial court is now forbidden to annex, and if you have money, you can buy land.
The premise is that the land transaction can be bought and sold freely, and the land transaction can be deed at the government and pay 10% of the deed tax.
This deed tax was not in the past, and it was also introduced after the new deal, real estate transactions, deed tax, ten taxes and one.
It can be said that with this tax, the court would like to have more land circulation, and the more it flows, the more the court will pay taxes.
For those who have money, although industry and commerce are thriving nowadays, everything is profitable, but buying land is the most secure investment.
Even if the income from buying land is far less than doing business and trading, it is better to be stable and risk-free.
Invest money to open a store, the business will be good and bad, invest money to run sea trade, and there will be a storm when the ship capsizes, only the land, even if there is a disaster this year, but the land is still there, and it will continue to be planted next year.
With the rise of commerce, we also know that Lingnan Sanguang is actually a good place, whether it is to grow grain or sugarcane and cotton, you can make money, and the labor here is also cheap.
Many nobles have obtained fiefs, but they are on the frontiers, and most of them are in the north, which is not a suitable place for farming.
Now that the imperial court has opened the gate of Lingnan, of course, it has to seize the opportunity.
Even Li Chao and Zhang Zhongjian, as well as Li Chao's students, bought a large piece of land as soon as possible.
And Li Chao's preemptive move also strengthened the idea of those people coming to buy land.
In the humble port of Qinzhou today, there are Central Plains people dressed in silk coming down from merchant ships every day, and many of them are stewards of those big families.
Nowadays, the most popular land in Guangxi, of course, is the land near Qinzhou Port, after all, it has long been rumored that it will be built as the second largest port in the southwest, and it will naturally be very prosperous here in the future, so the land here must be valuable.
Qinzhou Hezhou originally belonged to the Ning family, and most of the land belonged to the Ning family, and some land belonged to other Han people who settled here, and the rest of the subordinate land and mountainous areas belonged to the Xiyuan Fang.
Li Chao did not return part of the land of the Ning family to the government, and the land he bought was bought from the Qinzhou government.
Li Chao followed the due process and bought land from the Qinzhou government at the market price, paid the land money, and paid the deed tax.
However, although it is indeed the market price, the market price when Qinzhou was first conquered was very low, and it was the price before the war.
And now that the construction of Qinzhou Port has begun, the land bought by Li Chao has increased more than three times.
Prices are still rising.
Li Chao is still a relatively conscientious person, and he did not say that he directly bought the land around Xingang City, and then sold it to the imperial court at a higher price.
The land used for the construction of cities and roads has long been declared by him to be official land that is forbidden to trade.

A large number of wealthy people from the Central Plains came to buy land, so that the price of land in Qinzhou has skyrocketed day by day, and the land near the port has even increased fivefold.
The Qinzhou Port City, which was built by Nanyang Company, has not yet started construction of the shops in the city, just a development approval document and planning drawings, but it has already been sold, and every time it is only an auction, it has to be grabbed.
The price is high, but there are a lot of people who grab it.
"The future prospects of Qinzhou Port are really so good," Zhang Zhongjian was also surprised by this hot situation.
"I can only say that it will not be worse than Guangzhou Port, and even stronger than Jiaozhou Port.
After being built here, it is not only Guangxi's port to the sea, this will be the outlet of several roads in the southwest, Guangxi, Qianzhong, Hunan, and even Yunnan can radiate to, the goods from the southwest come out, foreign goods come in, and the maritime trade voyage also passes through here, which will inevitably make this place prosperous.
Look at Jiaozhou, in the past few years, how lively Jiaozhou has been, and then look at Guangzhou, a Qinzhou port, will be the most dazzling pearl in the southwest. ” "Listen to what you say, then the land I bought is still too little, I should buy more land."
Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile.
Li Chao knew that Zhang Zhongjian was also half-joking, and the Zhang family was not short of money.
The Zhang family's biggest business is maritime trade, and they used to be maritime merchants and did ocean trade.
Later, he joined the Tang Dynasty, and partnered with Li Chao and a group of relatives to form the Nanyang Company, which can be said to have basically monopolized more than eighty percent of the interests of ocean trade and ocean navigation, and I don't know how much income from this alone is every year.
Moreover, Zhangjiafeng is located in the state of Vietnam, that is, an archipelago on the southern tip of Vietnam and the border of Cambodia in the later generations, although the place is not large, but this place in the Gulf of Thailand is also a very important port on the maritime trade route.
The Zhang family controls the port, and they also control the spices of the South Seas.
It can be said that Zhang Zhongjian wants to have a land, a business, and a business, and money.
Of course, he also understood some of Zhang Zhongjian's thoughts, after all, the Xiban Sea was too far away, the territory was small and there was a shortage of people, and that piece of Vietnamese state was just an enclave.
The Zhang family has always wanted to expand their power in the Central Plains, which can be regarded as a plan for the three caves of the cunning rabbit.
"Can I give you a piece of advice," Li Chao said with a smile.
"Saburo is willing to give me advice, of course it is the best."
These forces in the Central Plains entered Lingnan, and Li Chao also welcomed them, and these people were allies.
You can deal with him against the land tyrants and slang forces in Lingnan.
Zhang Zhongjian is a staunch ally of Li Chao, and Li Chao is of course willing to provide him with some advice.
"In the long run, the port of Qinzhou certainly has a bright future.
However, I personally suggest that in fact, the Zhang family does not have to only stare at Qinzhou, after all, although Qinzhou is big, there are many people staring at it.
With the strength of the Zhang family, it is completely possible to go all out and develop a port alone.
For example, Hepo Port, or Naju Port. ” Qinzhou Port is positioned as a port to the sea in the southwest and an important commercial port on the sea trade route.
Moreover, Li Chao has already regarded this port as the territory of the Li family.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and it is not cost-effective for the Zhang family to also be in Qinzhou Port.
And Hepu Port in Hezhou, that is, the Beihai Port in later generations, is not far from Qinzhou, and can also be regarded as a sub-port of Qinzhou Port.
As for the port of Luozhou, it was the port of Anpu in later generations, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was even called one of the four major towns in Guangxi.
It is located in the southwest of the Leizhou Peninsula, the mouth of the Jiuzhou River.
In particular, it is located in the middle of Guangdong and Guangxi, with a good regional location and great development potential.
Whether it is Hepu Port or Luozhou Port, for the Zhang family, they all have the ability to occupy a dominant position.
Compared with spending money to buy land and build a manor, directly controlling a port is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.
"Have you already made this plan?"
asked Zhang Zhongjian with a smile.
Li Chao smiled, "If you have money, everyone will earn it together."
I do have such a plan, mainly for the major shareholders of our Nanyang company, so that everyone can get a piece of the pie. ” Li Chao plans to build dozens of large and small ports on the coastline from Guangzhou to Jiaozhou.
Large ports such as Qinzhou Port, as well as medium-sized ports such as Hepu Port and Luozhou Port, and some small ports.
These ports, Li Chao's plan is to jointly develop them.
For example, Qinzhou Port, each family developed together, but the Li family occupies a completely dominant position.
Each family in a port, dominant.
In this way, the entire coast is under the control of its own people, and each family divides its own territory and operates its own business.
"Admire, I can't imagine you think so long-term.
This plan is really good, Hepu Port, Naju Port, which one do you say I choose?"
"Both are good, take your pick."

"Then I'd better choose Luozhou Port, which is in the middle of the two Guangzhous, with the Leizhou Peninsula in the east, the Beibu Gulf in the west, and Yazhou Island in the south, and some distance from Qinzhou Port, I feel that the development potential is greater.
In the case of Hepu Port, it will be more of a sub-port of Qinzhou in the future.
Zhang Zhongjian finally made a choice. t1706231537:
