XXXIV. Jin Merchants and Hui Merchants
And looking at each other, no one has done anything to kill these medium and small salt merchants, and everyone always has to maintain a harmonious atmosphere on their faces as men and women thieves and prostitutes in private. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the big guys are all salt merchants, counting, they won't fight in the open nest, but they are not very friendly to other people, Tang San's fat man covered his mouth and coughed, and a red-faced man in Chinese clothes stood up behind him, this is the son of the Li family of the Eight Heavenly Kings, "What the Lord said is very true, we, the salt merchants in Yangzhou, all listen to the orders of the adults, and never dare to have any second intentions, but here today, there are some people who have nothing to do with our salt administration, and please send these people away first, we are all our own brothers, What to do, it's easy to say. ”
"That's very true," many people in the crowd echoed, "There are a lot of people here who are not ours, please invite these people out, not in this circle, don't know how to be an errand?" Instead, it delays things! ”
A tall and majestic man got up behind him, and said angrily, "Lord Admiral beckoned us in, what are you waiting for, dare to shout in front of Lord Admiral!" ”
"That's it!" Several people stood up with unkind faces, "We all respect Lord Xue's prestige, so we came to serve before, why are you going to drive us out?" Or do you think you can call the shots for Lord Xue? ”
Naturally, he can't make decisions for Xue Pan, it's not easy to answer, but it doesn't mean that the rest of the people can't speak, and when they heard this, some people immediately sneered: "You old Xi'er, the money you earn in the north is not enough?" Why are you still heading south to steal our jobs? You have to be careful, cut off people's money, kill your parents, this is the same big hatred, and no one is willing to give up their jobs. ”
It turns out that these people are the famous Jin merchants, there are Jin merchants in the north, there are Hui merchants in Jinling, and there are Cantonese merchants in the south of Liangguang, which can be regarded as the most outstanding business people in the world, the tall and strong man is the principal of the Qiao family in Pinggu, Qiao Zhiyue, looks very arrogant, very bold, but the words are very smooth, he smiled, "But the words can't be said like that, no one wants to take more silver, and some people think that there is too much money?" We, the northerners, of course, can't always do fur and wool business with those barbarians on the grassland, this profitable business, everyone wants to do it, we Jin merchants, naturally also want to, not to mention Yangzhou, which is very south? The big guys are mostly Hui merchants, and they are still from the north, so it's better for the big guys to hand over the salt industry to the southerners! ”
Someone sneered again, "You Jin merchants are used to looking at the limelight, in the past, when Hu Ge Lao was in charge here, you didn't dare to go south, why, now you know that this is different from the past?" Baba actually dared to go south! ”
Ma Song frowned and glanced at the person who implied to sow discord in his words, "No matter what, you can't collude with outsiders," someone said in a weird way, "Plot against your own people!" Do this kind of thing to confuse Huayi's defense! ”
This is a little old grievance in the past, Hu Guangyong was not in charge of Yangzhou, when he was still a businessman, he was ambitious, and wanted to unify the right to export goods, and he fought with Jin merchants for a while, Jin merchants united several foreign people's business houses, and found a big man in Beijing to give Hu Guangyong a good look, at that time Hu Guangyong's business almost suffered a catastrophe, fortunately, the holy queen inspected Jiangnan, supervised the battle of Nanyang, knew that Hu Guangyong did this person, and gave a helping hand, which escaped a catastrophe, although Hu Guangyong won a game, But the Jin merchants were very hateful, in Yangzhou did not allow the Jin merchants to go south to get involved in the salt government, so far, Hu Guangyong and the Jin merchants are like fire and water, after entering the household, it is to borrow the power in their hands, the Jin merchants' ticket number is not in shape, a few people said, is this old past.
The rest of the people couldn't help but show a little embarrassed look on their faces, but this Qiao Zhiyue didn't care very much, he laughed, "Think of me, Shanxi people, and Hu Ge Lao, counting, there is no personal enmity, the battle in the past, it was nothing more than money, so this situation is stronger than people, we are willing to gamble and lose, it is nothing, but," Qiao Zhiyue Shi Ran sat down and took a sip of tea in a matter-of-fact manner, "But these fellow villagers of Hu Ge are all Hui merchants, why don't you help?" This kung fu is really powerful, if the big guy worships Hu Ge Lao so much, why do you still ask the Holy Queen Niangniang to help? ”
A few people seem to be choked by the tea, can't help coughing again and again, Hu Guangyong is a first-class person who will be repaid, when he was in trouble in the past, these Hui merchants were unwilling to help out of jealousy, and there were many people who fell into the well, so when he went to Yangzhou as a salt envoy, he killed a lot of Hui merchants and salt merchants who offended themselves too deeply in the past, Qiao Zhiyue sarcastically mocked these people, I am more or less an enemy, just admit defeat, you so-called fellow countrymen, are also a hill of raccoon dogs, why do crows laugh at pigs and black.
Therefore, the Ma family is also a typical example of Hu Guangyong's erection, a typical example of repaying virtue with virtue, these things, everyone here knows, especially this Liu Bingde, is the most clear, Hu Guangyong's foundation was unstable at that time, and it is not appropriate to damage the Liu family too much, but it is not light or heavy to confiscate a little salt, and later entered the center, so he forgot about the people in this corner of Yangzhou, and he didn't feel too worried about some small things, Liu Bingde smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper Qiao made a fortune in the north, why do you need to come to the south to wade into troubled waters?" Now the situation in Yangzhou is very chaotic, the big guy hasn't come up with any charter here, if the shopkeeper Qiao doesn't dislike it, then wait for Lord Xue to do a good job of the charter here, and then please come over and see, do you want to mix a part, how about it? ”
Qiao Zhiyue's head shook like a rattle, "Elder Liu, don't bluff me as a three-year-old child, when the rich people have set the rules and regulations, how can we Shanxi people still have the share of salt introduction?" ”
"I didn't have your share in the first place!" Someone shouted, "What do you know about the salt industry!" ”
"You can't say that," Qiao Zhiyue smiled slightly, "There are no threes, twos, threes, don't dare to go to Liangshan, the pond salt in Shanxi is also excellent," he bowed slightly towards Xue Pan, "As long as the Admiral gives an order, send us the salt, how much salt is introduced, we will send it there, not afraid of being outside the gate or plugging." ”
"What a big breath! Let me tell you, this is Yangzhou, not outside the customs or plugged up! ”
"That's it! When you arrive at the Yangtze River and Yangzhou City, you should listen to our rules! ”
