Next chapter

The four Jin merchants are powerful, taking the four outsiders on the scene as an example, if they are willing, they can also take out hundreds of thousands of silver to turn around. Unlike the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, they did not pursue the material enjoyment of life, they all pursued frugality in eating, drinking and dressing, and they either bought the silver into fields or minted it and stored it in the cellar.

In his last life, Yang Chengzu visited the residential ruins of some Jin merchants, and admired their ability to save money from the bottom of his heart. Although the appearance of Yang Ji greatly shook the foundation of the Jin merchants, at present, in the northwest, the Jin merchants are still a powerful group. Yang Yiqing wants to reset, and Zhao Quan's people want to be resettled, and the support of Jin Shang is indispensable. Within this region, they are more powerful than the government, and it is easier to mobilize resources.

Whether Yang Yiqing wants to resettle the 200,000 people, he needs a lot of resources, and the government's own strength cannot reach it, and it is not surprising that he relies on the power of the people. What really aroused Yang Chengzu's interest was the deal that Jin Shang was going to talk about next, and it was definitely a very important thing to be willing to exchange the power within the Wenxiang Sect and the income that could be obtained from Yang Yiqing in the future.

Those big leaders of the Wenxiang Sect thought that as soon as the Jin merchants came, they would have backers, and several big officials had great foreign wealth, and the rich side was rich, even if they were not as good as the governors, at least they could have the capital to negotiate and wrestle. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, he was completely sold, and his heart was a little cold. Wang Xian and the other four members had no concern about the savings and interests of these leaders, and they talked about business with Yang Chengzu wholeheartedly.

"Zhao Quan, over there, has already sent someone to contact us. I heard that this guy was a Han Chinese who escaped from Biansai, and he was still a White Lotus cultist, who was taken prisoner on the Mongolian side, and was once an important adviser to the Bodi chieftain, and later turned against the water. But it doesn't matter, he has already taken the lead in fighting against the water, and he is the good people of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the court gives him a paperwork, he can be recruited, and in the future, maybe you can also be a minister in the same palace. He is a person with a certain amount of talent, and he is willing to use his brain, and he is very good at researching something in the north. For example, what he brought this time, including the method of drying salt and the purification of sugar, we tried it, and they all had certain effects. In addition to this, he has several small studies that can improve the output of the workshop, so that our workshop can have something more. He wanted to work with a few of us, with us at our expense, and he with the technology, to further expand these things. ”

Although Yang Ji is large, but the foundation of Jin Shang is deep, if there is technical support, in a period of time, to compete with Yang Ji, it is still qualified to create some trouble for Yang Ji.

Of course, in the end, these things will still be obtained by Yang Ji, there are not such strong technical barriers in this era, especially for businesses with official backgrounds, if you want to understand other people's inventions, as long as you are willing to use the means, how can you get them. But these Jin merchants handed over these things at the beginning, and they didn't think that Fa Bao and Yang Ji would fight against each other, so they had to admit that this was a signal of goodwill.

"In the past few years, we have all seen the development of Yang Ji, or the development of the Wenxiang Sect, and we can also understand a little bit about the actions and thoughts of the Grand Dudu. To be honest, some of the intentions of the Metropolitan Governor surprised us, and some of us who have been in business for several lifetimes have never imagined that far from the Metropolitan Governor. This also has to do with the location, you can't get to the position of the governor, and you won't think about that position. ”

"In business, Yang Ji, the governor of the capital, must have made many businessmen unhappy. Do as you do, the merchants of the world, I'm afraid they will starve to death. But in the eyes of the people, Yang Ji is a great savior, a living Bodhisattva. In this place in the northwest, the land is poor, and the production is limited, even if it is a first-class good player, it will not be able to produce many crops in a year. In addition, there are northern captives, and there are wars every year, so it is even more difficult to cultivate. People in the northwest are cheap, life is sad, and if you want to recruit workers here, it is cheaper than elsewhere. Now, that benefit is gone. Zhao Quan's 200,000 people, many people are worried about it, just because they want their labor to be cheap, and they can save money. ”

"In the beginning, when the imperial court opened up China and France, merchants hired people to farm here. But later I found that after a year of hard farming, I got the salt but did not necessarily get the salt, and those nobles and cronies of the eunuchs, the emperor's relatives and relatives, took the salt away early. The merchants have worked hard and have not received anything, and they must be unhappy in their hearts, so everyone will not pay salt. There was no way to abolish the Chinese and French laws at the beginning, if they were not abolished, the businessmen would not be able to survive. ”

"Now that China and France have been restored, the business of salt merchants is difficult, but for the border army, it is a good thing. After all, if there is more food, their expenses for eating will be smaller, and in the past, the imperial court gave silver. But just for the silver, the price of grain here will also rise, and in a vicious circle, there are always border troops who can't afford to eat food. Now, whether they are happy or not, everyone has to transport grain here, and if there is more grain, the price will be suppressed, and there will be fewer hungry people in the border army. Coupled with the balance of you Yang Ji, basically no border soldier will starve. But if you do this, the three armies may be grateful to you, but the generals and businessmen of the border army will hate you. ”

Wang Xian's brother Wang Yao is a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, and this time the imperial court resumed the opening of the Chinese law, which had a great impact on him. Among the other Jin merchants, there are also people who are engaged in the salt business, and other businesses such as grain and tea have Yang Jicun zài, and the damage is not small.

"Some people want us to come out and fight against Yang Ji, but they feel that Yang Ji is blocking our financial route, and we can't swallow this breath, so we can only fight in the end. Even if you can't fight the Metropolitan Governor, you can still spell out a way, so that the Metropolitan Governor has to take a step back. ”

Ma Hongtu looked at several sect leaders, "A few of them have dealings with some unscrupulous children in my family, hoping to borrow us as backers, on the surface, it is a matter of smelling incense, but in the final analysis, it is actually for their own interests." Even Yang Jili has a shopkeeper, who feels that doing business is to make money, and following Yang Ji, no matter how good his reputation is, his income will be affected. They want to be rich. However, a few old bones such as Lao Yu are not Xie Zun, we can see that the general trend is ......"

"The Jin merchant family is based on farming and reading, and subsidizes the family by doing business to feed the children of the clan. We relied on our hard work to take risks out of extremely dangerous trade routes, and the crises we experienced were not much less than those of maritime merchants. We can continue the clan to this day, and let the clan develop and grow, not by means or scheming, but by us, we can see the general trend clearly. Know when and with whom to stand. Just like now, when the imperial court wants to meddle in business affairs, some people will say that it is competing with the people for profit, and they will say that it is the remnants of the people, but we only care about how we should stand with the imperial court. ”

Yang Chengzu smiled slightly, "A few employees, what do you mean, do you want to be a shareholder in Yang Ji?" ”

Zhang Zimian shook his head, "No, shareholders are to do it, but that is later, what a few of us really want is to be the emperor." In the four major families, there are women of appropriate age, dignified in appearance, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all refined, old and decrepit, and send them to the court to serve His Majesty. As long as the Metropolitan Governor can do this, whether it is the Smelling Fragrance Sect or the matter of the Hetao, the four of us are willing to bear it together. This time, we Jin merchants are willing to take out 500,000 taels of silver as military salaries to assist the imperial court in resuming the set. As for the smell of incense, the four of us support Mrs. Qing as the sect leader, and I think the overall situation should also be decided. "Mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
