Businessmen have the keenest sense of smell, and although information has no legs, it can run faster than things with legs.
During the twelfth lunar month of winter, it was originally the quietest time for merchants.
But the winter moon of the first year of Xingping was completely different.
News of the Ma family's reconnection with the Western Regions spread to every corner of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, I heard that in order to ensure safety, they were escorted by invincible troops.
Such a good thing immediately squeezed out the door of Chang'an's Hubu Division.
Today, every merchant in the fourteen states of the Han Dynasty knows that the Ma family is the most tolerant prince towards business.
In fact, its tolerance has almost reached the point of encouragement.
Who doesn’t know that the Ma family has a light tax insurance policy?
Who doesn’t know that the Ma family itself is a huge financial group?
The moving golden light looks exactly like those old fried dough sticks in the mall.
Those merchants who have cooperated with the Ma family or have heard of the Ma family all know that in addition to having great magical powers, the Ma family only accepts five baht.
What businessmen are afraid of is being cheated.
The Ma family's tradition of only accepting five baht coins gives businessmen great confidence.
Because in this era, the government that uses five pieces of money is the government that is trustworthy.
The government's method of taking back a piece of five pieces of money and converting it into a large sum of money "worth a hundred dollars" is really terrible.
In the blink of an eye, a wealthy businessman can become penniless.
What businessmen seek is profit.
For profit, they can risk their lives.
But if you run around and end up being slaughtered by the government like a fattened pig, that would definitely be a huge injustice.
In fact, the princes from all over the world have this rough philosophy when it comes to treating merchants.
Only the Ma family, in this strict hierarchical society, resisted the pressure of public opinion and implemented an attitude of treating everyone equally.
Moreover, when merchants choose Ma's family, in addition to making money safely, they can also achieve a height that is difficult for merchants to achieve in their lifetime: getting a cordial reception from the Han princess Liu Yue.
You may even receive the Honorable Integrity Brand issued by the Ma family That gold medal is a well-known name in Dahan's entire business circle: the gold medal issued by the princess of Dahan personally has such honor and status, how can it be compared to those small merchants?
Needless to say, the local merchants under the Ma family's rule, after receiving the news, they were as fast as a dog grabbing shit.
Merchants from other places were also afraid of not being able to grab something hot, so they rushed to Chang'an regardless of the cold winter wind: heading to the Western Regions where money is everywhere, escorted by Ma Jiajun's personal team, there was no risk, only large sums of money. wave to yourself In less than a month, thousands of merchants came to sign up and pay.
Merchants who can hand over 10,000 yuan are naturally big ones.
Although some people are under the rule of the Ma family, it is obvious that their family wealth is very thin.
This performance is a bit excessive, indicating that they have become "rich" not long ago.
Then Naturally, there was support from behind.
In this regard, Ma Chao ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel to conduct a strict investigation and severely eliminate those merchants with official backgrounds of the Ma family: Although the Ma family wants to develop rapidly, power and wealth must not be linked together.
Otherwise, at worst, business disputes involving corruption, bribery, and illegal competition may arise.
On a larger scale, it is more likely to cause the rapid degeneration of this era.
Ma Chao always remembers that in order to be honest and develop, both sides must be strong.
A double harvest of spiritual and material resources is the real progress and development.
For a time, under Ma Chao's busy day and night guidance and bold reforms, and under the dedicated efforts of all the good ministers and capable men of the Ma family, Chang'an City gradually became lively, with more and more outsiders.
Later, some people, He obviously has a Central Plains or Jiangnan accent.
There were also many Hu merchants who bought houses and properties in Chang'an City, built workshops and recruited people.
For a time, the prices of construction craftsmen and textile craftsmen in Chang'an City soared, and the price of rice also began to rise.
What followed was that under the tolerant policy of the Ma family, those merchants with great magical powers saw the business opportunities in Chang'an and shipped food in from all over the country.
Later, Chang'an really came to life: the local Chang'an people had dozens of acres of fertile land, and they worked and did business in their spare time, earning a lot of profits.
Businessmen from other places naturally make a lot of money in Chang'an by relying on their industries.
Although none of these people have to pay some commercial taxes, the Ma family's commercial tax collection is strict and the taxes are very low.
Secondly, there are supervisory agencies to which complaints can be lodged.
Everyone feels that it is just around the corner that the heart of Chang'an, a big man, can regain its glory.

At this time in Chang'an, there is no such thing as the East City and the West City.
Yes, there are only commercial and residential areas.
Yes, this division naturally refers to the planning of Fufeng New Town.
With the maturity of brick and cement technology, and the influx of a large number of labor forces.
The Ma family used their profits to hire tens of thousands of civilians to carry out the post-disaster reconstruction and reconstruction work in Chang'an, almost without spending a penny or a single soldier.
Wages and benefits are the best in this era.
Many migrant workers did not go home during the Spring Festival.
The group of people who came earlier have already made up their minds to settle in Chang'an.
There is a lively scene everywhere and a bright future for all parties.
Ma Chao saw every workshop and house rising up as if blown by the air.
Sometimes he stood on the wall of Weiyang Palace and looked north at Chang'an.
He simply couldn't believe his eyes: After this year, Weiyang Palace would also be repaired and the Weiyang Palace was demolished as ruthlessly as it was before.
It was really worse than bandits.
Now that the Ma family is rich, it’s time to talk about ostentation, right?
However, just thinking about it, Ma Chao knew that the Ma family was not yet ready to squander.
In the past six months, everything has just begun.
In order to completely defeat the Ma family's determination, Ma Chao also sent a document to other prefectures and counties in Chang'an, asking the county officials under the Ma family to take care of the caravan.
Except for the relevant officials in charge of taxation, the others were not allowed to conduct random interrogations and severe deductions. .
We also need to eliminate bandits along the way to ensure their safety.
Over in Liangzhou, in order to completely open up trade routes this year, Ma Chao specially assigned Su Ze and You Chu to be responsible for rebuilding the Western Region Protectorate.
He also stated that he should try not to use force easily.
He could take advantage of the opportunity of this caravan to re-open trade and exchanges with other countries in the Western Regions.
If it didn't work, he would use the sharp knife of the Ma Jiajun: During this period, the Ma family already had some money in their hands, and they would travel thousands of miles to make money.
Being able to go home for the New Year with good military service is already something that many Ma Jiajun are looking forward to.
Again, they also wanted to form a team to escort the caravan.
Also, I sincerely pray to encounter some blind thieves.
The Ma Jiajun was different from any other prince in the Han Dynasty.
They built a professional army whose combat effectiveness far exceeded those of semi-professional armies that farmed and fought.
However, this time, the veteran soldiers of the Ma family were a little sad, because the Ma family recruited another 50,000 new soldiers.
After training for nearly half a year, they were sent in batches to escort the caravan.
Those veterans who have fought countless battles can only take advantage of the new recruits without violating the Ma family's military regulations.
However, apart from the reward for escorting, those recruits had almost no military merit to gain.
The flag of the Ma family's caravan has been raised throughout the Han Dynasty.
All the pitiful thieves dare not touch a hair of the Ma family's caravan even if they can no longer celebrate the New Year.
There was something stupid back then.
After an accidental act of mischief, a large number of Ma Jiajun were immediately encircled and suppressed.
They killed not even chicken feathers were left on the ground, and also implicated other bandits in the same territory.
Su Ze and You Chu are definitely talented people who stand alone.
You Chu is unconventional and unconventional in his work, but Su Ze is people-oriented and sincere and keeps his promises.
The two of them joined forces, and the construction of the Western Region Protectorate was booming like Chang'an.
Of course, the most low-key this time was Li Zihao's caravan.
However, despite being low-key, the sweaters delivered by Li Zihao are quite valuable.
The total value of more than 5,000 carts of goods exceeds 2 billion yuan, but when they come back, the value will probably double: the Xiongnu side has a lot of war horses and livestock, but the goods that Dahanzhou County needs are not empty. , making money back and forth, this is the true nature of business.
He was so greedy just looking at it.
Ma Chao looked at Li Zihao's leaving figure, licked his lips and said, "Not much.

As long as there are five more years, no, three years, the Ma family will definitely become the richest prince in the Han Dynasty.
By then, it will be Throwing money can also kill other princes."
Looking at the caravan, Ma Chao felt as if he had seen a river.
s: I’ll stop here today and wish you all a happy reading.
I am working hard on writing, and keep working harder for the Spring Festival:
