Lingnan has attracted countless attention, and a large number of noble families in the Central Plains have sent housekeepers to the south.
They bought shops, houses, and fields, brandished money, and bought and bought.
A large number of fields have changed hands, and the deed tax revenues of Lingnan states have skyrocketed.
In early August, Nanyang Company also paid its first dividend, and directly took out 10 million yuan to distribute dividends.
Those people who bought the shares of Nanyang Company before can be regarded as a small fortune at this time.
The price of Nanyang's shares also soared again, and the people who held the shares at this time were not willing to sell at all.
The price of the stock has skyrocketed, but there is no market.
Everyone is very determined, Nanyang Company has a lot of money, and holding the shares of Nanyang Company in their hands, that is the shareholder of Nanyang Company.
Even if the vast majority of people do not have voting rights in their stocks, the benefits are visible.
At this time, a group of directors of Nanyang Company sent their representatives to Qinzhou for a meeting.
Thirteen directors, representing thirteen families.
In the last Hanjing Rebellion, several board seats changed hands, and they were replaced by upstarts.
Among them, the royal also entered the board again.
At first, Cheng Qian also held a large number of shares, which were later sold by Li Shimin, who accepted the shares of the directors who were suspected of rebelling against him after the last turmoil.
The thirteen directors represent the top thirteen families of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family, the Bashang Li family, the Luoyang Changsun family, the Qizhou Qin family, etc.
Li Chao and Cheng Qian both attended in person, and each of the other families sent their own clansmen to come.
When the ship entered the port, the eldest grandson Anye got off the ship and immediately felt a bit of heat.
When Han Jing came, he had already put on his jacket, and when he was at sea, he didn't feel it.
But as soon as I got off the boat, I immediately felt that Qinzhou was far hotter than Hanjing.
I couldn't wear the jacket on my body, so I took off the jacket and changed into a robe, and I suddenly felt much cooler.
Looking back at the white sails in the port, and then looking at the dock, the dense crowd, especially those topless, short hair, only a pair of shorts and barefoot a large number of Kunlun slaves, the eldest grandson Anye's eyes were shining.
With so many Kunlun slaves, if they are transported to Hanjing, I am afraid that they will be able to make a lot of money immediately.
On the wharf, there are some sentry boxes, and there are some soldiers sitting in them, these people keep pointing back and forth, and the large number of people and vehicles on the wharf actually follow his gestures, which is very orderly.
And on the docks, he also saw the tracks, where the horses pulled long carriages full of goods passed through the tracks.
It's amazing that a few horses can pull a long line of carriages.
Here, it seems to be more lively than Hanking.
On the docks, the Kunlun slaves with dark bodies and only particularly white teeth, the blonde and blue-eyed Persian merchants, the innkeepers who solicited customers on the docks, the maidservants in the restaurants, and the intermediary teeth of the various trading houses.
There are also those who sell tea and some water, and there are even merchants who carry loads of goods, and there are those who carry big burdens and sell used clothes to the workers on the docks.
Not far from the docks are rows of warehouses, guarded by guards and patrolled by teams of soldiers.
Not far ahead, there is a house, with colorful signboards everywhere, and the cries of selling are one after another.
By August, the eastern and western cities had expanded considerably, with several new streets lined with shops.
The city of Yacheng, known as the middle city, has also changed greatly.
The moat has been dug and water has been diverted.
The rammed earth city gate has even been covered with bricks, and there is an arrow tower on the city gate, and the arrow windows look awe-inspiring from a distance.
The eldest grandson Anye didn't expect that Qinzhou would be so big.
Although it is far less bustling than the bustling and lively he saw when he stopped in Guangzhou, the plan is quite in place.
It's hard to believe that half a year ago, this was just a small fishing village.
Still looking, someone has already come out.
"General Changsun, I have been waiting for a long time, and I have missed the distance, so please forgive me."
Eldest Sun Anye looked at the green robes on those people, guessed that it was the officials here, and nodded with a smile, "There was a delay on the way, but I was late." ” "King Yue is waiting in the mansion."
"Are the other guests here?"
"It's all here."
The eldest grandson Anye is the queen's half-brother, the eldest grandson's family ranks third, and the eldest grandson Wuji ranks fourth.
This time, he represented the eldest grandson family of Luoyang, and also attended the meeting on behalf of one of the thirteen directors of Nanyang Company.
Yamen, Governor Yamen.

The prince personally greeted him, "Uncle has worked hard from afar." ” Empress Changsun's father was Changsun Sheng, a famous general and diplomat and marksman in the Sui period, who was an expert in Turkic strategy from the Northern Zhou to the Sui Dynasty, and sent many envoys to the Turks.
His wife died in his early years, and he remarried Gao Shilian's sister, and later soon after his death, the mother of the eldest grandson queen also died, and as a result, the three brothers of the eldest grandson An Ye drove the eldest grandson queen and the eldest grandson Wuji out of the house, and they still had to be taken in by the Gao family.
Therefore, the relationship between the eldest grandson Wuji and the three brothers has always been bad, but the eldest grandson queen did not hold a grudge and helped the three brothers a lot.
Now, in addition to the early death of the eldest brother, Chang'an Hengan and the eldest grandson Anye are still living a good life.
Cheng Qian is not very close to this third uncle, but after all, he is an uncle.
The eldest grandson Anye has no constitution, and he has the position of a general in Beiya, and he has a county duke.
This time, he came in the name of announcing the decree to the crown prince on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
Li Chao stood on the steps and bowed his hand with a smile, "Welcome Brother Wuxian to Qinzhou." ” After a few cold words, he entered the yamen.
"I don't know what is the important matter for King Yue to summon me and other families to come" The eldest grandson Wuye just sat down and asked directly.
"It's a good thing."
Li Chao beckoned people to serve tea and snacks.
"It's a great thing to gather everyone here this time.
You should also know that now that Lingnan has opened its door, all kinds of heroes in the Central Plains have gone south, all wanting a piece of the pie.
Our Nanyang company has always been engaged in sea trade, and we also have great interests in Lingnan.
At this moment's opportunity, I can't forget all of you. ” Those rich people in the Central Plains came south to buy land, and businessmen came to buy shops, Li Chao would not have the same pattern vision as them.
Li Chao is the planner of this Lingnan feast.
He invited all families to come and join hands to develop the port in Lingnan.
Thirteen companies join forces to complement each other's resources.
At the same time, it is also a division of territory to avoid vicious competition among their own people.
Li Chao took out a map, on which the ports that could be developed along the coast were marked.
Qinzhou Port belonged to Li Chao, Hongji Port belonged to Pingyang, and Zhang Zhongjian occupied Anpu Port.
More than a dozen carved up the remaining ports.
The eldest grandson Anye listened carefully to the introduction, and his heart became hot.
Ordinary people come to buy land, rich businessmen come to buy shops, and those powerful families buy minerals here, and even some wealthy people directly contract the construction of street real estate here.
But Li Chao and they were even more generous, directly building ports and cities.
Just like Qinzhou Port, ninety percent of the land, houses, and shops in the city belong to the Li family, and the chambers of commerce and guilds in the city are also controlled by the Li family.
Such a Qinzhou port can be said to really belong to the Li family.
Many business workshops such as shipyards and money farms are run by the Li family.
Qinzhou is not only the Qinzhou of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Qinzhou of the Li family.
The agreement was quickly reached, and the plan proposed by Li Chao was a plan that was beneficial to everyone.
Thirteen companies united, which is equivalent to monopolizing the coastal ports and gaining control.
Thirteen companies divided the territory.
The eldest grandson's family gained control of the Zhanjiang port, and the eldest grandson's family could build the Zhanjiang port, and everyone guaranteed that no one else would build the port here.
At the same time, each family also provided resources to help the eldest grandson's family build the Zhanjiang port.
For example, the Li family is willing to be responsible for the construction of the project, and is also willing to provide some loans.
The royal company's shares in Nanyang Company, Li Shimin also gave Cheng Qian this time, and it was assigned to the name of the East Palace, which can be regarded as Cheng Qian's private money.
Cheng Qian took the Beihai Port this time, relying only on the Qinzhou Port.
After the agreement is reached, the parties can be considered to have reached an agreement.
After dinner, Li Chao and Cheng Qian took a walk on the wharf, the river breeze was slow, and the port of Qinzhou was changing with each passing day.
The coastal areas have the benefits of trade, so the development of industry and commerce is an inevitable trend.
Li Chao's positioning of Qinzhou, in addition to being a large commercial port for trade, is also a distribution center for goods in the southwest, where the goods are distributed in and out.
At the same time, Li Chao also has the ambition to build a handmade goods processing center here.
Hongji's coal, Foshan's iron, Qinzhou's handicraft commodity processing center.
This is the tone set by Li Chao in Lingnan, with Qinzhou as the center, to develop ports and foreign trade, as well as processing and manufacturing.
The coal of Hongji and the iron of Foshan are the guarantee.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Foshan became one of the four major towns in the world, and it was famous for its iron smelting.
Foshan iron smelting scale is huge, and the products are excellent.
Li Chao stood on the seashore, facing the sea, blowing the sea breeze.
Maritime trade, shipbuilding, and iron smelting can be said to be the pillar industries of the Li family in Qinzhou in the future.
If he took his time, Li Chao didn't need to lead other families to build the port.
However, Li Chao cares about these interests, Lingnan is very large, there are countless opportunities and interests here, and Li Chao cannot monopolize them.
In the past, this was the territory of Feng Ning Chen's family, but after all, the head snake still couldn't fight the strong dragon.
Now that they are here, the Li family is the first to seize the opportunity, and he has no intention of monopolizing it.
The more people he pulls and the more allies he has, the more opportunities he has for his future goals.
"Recently, a lot of ships selling Kunlun slaves have come."
The prince said.
"This is all a market reaction, in the past few months, I have continued to increase the price of Kunlun slaves, and at the same time issued a decree to reduce the customs duties of Kunlun slave transport ships entering the port, and the profits of trafficking Kunlun slaves have increased exponentially, this change was immediately reflected to the maritime merchants, and then they increased the traffic of Kunlun slaves."
This is the market economy, the relationship between supply and demand is changing at any time, and the market is constantly changing.
Li Chao raised the price of Kunlun slaves here, increasing the demand, and at the same time allowing the government to reduce taxes, and the interests of the slave traders increased greatly, and the business naturally expanded.
"In the past month, as many as 100 slave ships have arrived at Qinzhou Port, transporting more than 100,000 Kunlun slaves, and this scale is still expanding."
Cheng Qian was shocked, "There are so many Kunlun slaves, can we accommodate them here?"
"Of course, if it can be accommodated, let alone 100,000, it is a million, and this Lingnan can also tolerate it."
Li Chao said that the Kunlun slave traders did not come to give them land, they would be miners in the mines, laborers in the wharves, serfs in the farms, workers in the factories, in short, they were here to do coolies.
Even if there is Datang's slave protection law, if you want to earn enough ransom for yourself, it will be at least ten years later.
However, the cost of slaves is not low, especially these Kunlun slaves shipped from overseas.
I heard that there are already many people who have already made their minds closer to the vicinity of Datang.
This can be regarded as a reaction of a market economy. t1706231537:
