Two days later, Zhu Xu's fleet was in Yang.
The state landed on the shore and went straight to the river.
All.
Yang.
The prosperity of the state was famous in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the south of the Yangtze River.
The state is side by side, as for Ying Tianfu, Hangzhou.
The state is still far behind.
River.
There are two cities, the prosperity of the new city far exceeds the old city, and there is a river passing through the city, known as 'Little Qinhuai', which is the favorite place for talented and beautiful people to linger.
Zhu Xu and Cao Bianjiao wore regular clothes.
Walking on the busiest streets of all.
The flow of people is like weaving, the vehicles and goods are staggered, even if it is a five-horse carriage road, it was once blocked and difficult to walk, and it needs to be guided by government officials.
Zhu Xu shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "It's more lively here than the capital." ” Cao Huachun followed by his side and replied: "Yes, Beizhili has not been peaceful for a long time, the land is barren and there are few people, and Jiangnan Chengping has been peaceful for more than 200 years, so it should be so prosperous." ” Zhu Xu nodded, and within a few steps, he could see the shops with the prefix 'Hui', vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, everything.
Zhu Xu was happy to see it, at present, the Huitong Commercial Bank has a monopoly on salt and tea, and it can bring nearly 20 million taels of silver to the imperial court every year, and most of the contribution is also in the south of the Yangtze River.
While speaking, seven or eight people suddenly rushed towards Zhu Xu and the others, all with sticks in their hands, and they were menacing.
Cao Bianjiao's face changed slightly, he stepped forward violently, and waved his hand at the same time, and the guards of the forbidden army in the secret also quietly stepped forward, touching his waist with his hand.
If this group of people messed around, they would be beaten into a sieve by short muskets at the first time.
"Smash me!
Smash hard!
” The group of people turned around sharply not far from Zhu Xu and rushed towards a salt shop.
"Wang Laoba, you dare!
Come on, call me back, hit hard!
” Seven or eight people also rushed out of this salt shop and fought in front of the store.
"Surnamed Fan, I have to smash your shop today!
Beat me, fight to the death!
Someone from outside yelled, and rushed up with a big stick.
"Hey, I guessed that they were going to fight again!"
"Isn't it, this is the first time this month, the seventh?"
"Yes, you said that they have been fighting, and they don't reduce the price......"
"How do you want to lower the price of salt?
If you go back to the sixth year of the Apocalypse, you will cry......"
"Hehe, I didn't say it's bad, it's still the right view, the right view......
Zhu Xu watched a group of people scuffle to death, a group of people were overjoyed, approached a middle-aged man, and said, "Excuse me, what's going on here?"
” The uncle was watching with relish, listening to Zhu Xu's question, he turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "The little brother is from the north, right?"
We're all surprised that in the river.
Both, not the whole Young.
The state is common, rest assured, no one can die......"
Zhu Xu became more and more strange when he heard this, and said, "Then what are they fighting?"
” The middle-aged man was happy to watch the play, so he explained to Zhu Xu: "The little brother is new to Yang.
The state doesn't know it's not surprising, this is going to be a long time. ” Zhu Xu immediately listened to it.
The middle-aged man was even happier, looking at Quan Wuxing, and said: "They, one is the Shanxi Gang, the other is the Hui Gang, before the Apocalypse, they were all engaged in private salt, and when they arrived at the Chongzhen Dynasty and the imperial court changed the salt policy, they are all specially approved by the imperial court 'salt merchants', because the price of salt is low, and others have no right to buy and sell, so these two gangs make more money......"
"Peers are enemies......," Zhu Xu said thoughtfully.
"You are wrong about this little brother," as soon as Zhu Xu spoke, the uncle said with a smug expression: "'Jingzheng New Deal' includes the salt administration, all over the country, all the salt prices are the same, anyone dares to raise the price, reduce the price, and immediately the government will come to the door to take people, so their prices are the same......"
Zhu Xu was slightly stunned and said, "This is true, so what are they fighting?"
” The middle-aged man became more and more proud, seeing that several people had been knocked down, their heads were bleeding, and they still said with great interest: "These two gangs, in Yang.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The power of the state is very large, and in the second year of the Apocalypse, the Shanxi Gang sent a letter to the imperial court, hoping to be able to do so in Yang.
The state settles down, and the children can be in Yang.
The state government school was enrolled, and the imperial court specially approved seven places, but the Hui merchants originally belonged to the southern Zhili, so their children had to return to their hometowns, and they could not be in Yang.
State Admission ......"
Zhu Xu understood, and said: "So the Hui Gang has a grudge against the Shanshan Gang, so I ...... angry with them."
"Little brother is wrong again......"
The uncle became more and more proud, and said: "Last year, the Hui Gang jointly wrote to the imperial court, asking that all the children of salt merchants can be in Yang.
State Admission, then Young.
The governor of the prefecture, the salt envoy of Nanzhili, and the governor yamen all wrote to support the Hui merchants, you said, there are so many places to enroll, if the Hui merchants can go on, then how many of the seven in their Shanshan gang can be left......"
Zhu Xu didn't dare to pretend to understand at this time, and said with understanding, "Then the government doesn't care?"
Let them go on like this?
” "Hehe, that's the key," the middle-aged man smiled even more proudly, and said, "This Yang.
The prefect of the state is a mountain.
The Westerners, who are also the Shanshan Gang, deliberately allowed their fellow villagers to make such trouble, and it is said that the governor Yamen and the cabinet have some scruples and have not agreed, which has attracted the dissatisfaction of the Hui Gang, so the matter is the current situation......"
Zhu Xu pinched his chin, and his expression seemed to be smiling.
Shanshan Gang, that is, Shanshan.
West and Shaanxi.
Two groups of people in the west, mountain.
The west, also known as Shanyou, occupies a very special position in the economic pattern of the late Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Xu has cleaned up Shanyou once and cut off their way to the north.
But the experience and capital accumulated by the right people of Shanyou for many years are still proud of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the salt politics and tea administration reforms, they quickly seized the opportunity to play in Yang.
Prefecture, Huai, An and other places expanded rapidly.
Because they were fellow villagers, they quickly gained a foothold in the two places and eroded the interests of other merchants.
Among them, the most influential is the Hui merchants, who started from the Hui merchants. state, that is, the posterity.
Hui Province, now under the southern Zhili, after a long period of accumulation, merchants and gentry, officials colluded with each other, can not distinguish between you and me, the use of the region and official business relations, strong counterattack, in Yang.
The state, and even the entire Nanzhili, have a tendency to resist the court.
And as the two gangs continue to expand, the political needs are also revealed.
This matter seems to be a business dispute between the two gangs, but in fact it is a political wrestling, after all, it is the government that really decides everything at this time!
Zhu Xu roughly figured it out, and watched the two gangs fight.
The strength was evenly matched, and there were a few people on both sides who hung the lottery, and finally there were six people standing, and they faced each other in threes and threes.
Although they were all called fierce, in fact, no one dared to really kill them.
The official servant finally came, and the leading head catcher snorted coldly and said, "It's you again, come with me, and let your shopkeeper bring the silver to collect people!"
” Both sides snorted at each other, obviously familiar with it, and took their injured brother and followed the official to the official mansion step by step.
Zhu Xu watched, said goodbye to the enthusiastic uncle, and walked forward.
As I walked, I was thinking.
The so-called 'Jingzheng Salt Administration' used to be called 'Chongzhen Salt Administration' by the outside world, but now it is included in the 'Jingzheng New Deal', so it has been changed.
The method adopted by the 'Jingzheng Salt Administration' was to sell the official property to the people, and the imperial court controlled the various salt fields, was responsible for production, and then transferred them to agents through the Huitong Commercial Bank, and then dispersed to the whole country and handed over to various grassroots shops for sale.
It is all a unified package, a unified price, the government agencies cross-supervise, once it is found that someone is selling privately, raising the price, will be immediately seized, and the responsibility of the upper layer will be investigated.
In the absence of private salt, coupled with the fact that the official salt price is 'close to the people', the chaos of salt politics has been basically eliminated, and it has become one of the reliable and stable sources of Zhu Xu's 'internal money'.
The expansion of the salt merchants, in fact, should be said to be a kind of germ of the bourgeoisie, which began to pursue the right to speak in politics, although it was still very low, but it was also a kind of progress.
It's just that some progress is not the right time, just to catch up with the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, natural and man-made disasters, the development of business can only be limited to the accumulation of the past, there is no way to go further.
"By the way, what's the situation with the Chamber of Commerce now?"
Zhu Xu turned his head and looked at Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun hesitated slightly, looked around, approached and said in a low voice, "Back to the emperor, now the merchants are all in a group, whether it is Jin merchants, Qin merchants, or Hui merchants, they are all fellow villagers gathering, excluding outsiders, He Yunshan is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but it has always been a title, it is difficult to integrate, it is not as good as Wei Liangqing, the big shopkeeper of Huitong Commercial Bank, not to mention the eldest prince Fu." ” Fu Tao, the eldest son of Fu, is a special existence in the business environment of the Ming Dynasty, the fundamental reason is that he is capable, in the entire Ming Dynasty's business, there is nothing he can't do, and no one dares to go against him!
After all, everyone knows that he is not only the eldest son of the Hubu Shangshu, but also the emperor's money bag!
The collapse of the Fan family and other big families in the Jin Dynasty was rumored to have offended the eldest prince of Fu and was exterminated by the emperor!

Zhu Xu knew all this, nodded and said, "Haimao, who is in charge now?"
” Cao Huachun said: "After the integration of Huitong Commercial Bank, it should be He Spruce who is in charge of maritime trade matters. ” The fan in Zhu Xu's hand closed and said, "Okay, write it down, when the war at sea is settled, find an opportunity to pass him to see me." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said.
After walking for a while, Cao Bianjiao looked up and said, "Your Majesty, this is our inn, it has been vacated and is ready." ” Zhu Xu nodded, stepped in, and said, "Go and inquire about Yang.
The largest academy in the state, after lunch, let's go shopping. ” Cao Huachun said: "Yes." ” Zhu Xu walked over, this inn has been emptied, specially to receive Zhu Xu, a thin middle-aged man inside saw it, panicked and cautiously ran over, knelt down and said: "Caomin Yuan can see the emperor, long live my emperor!"
” This is also the inn of Hui Zitou, Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand: "Pingshen, I live here with you, it is estimated that you will delay a lot of business, and you should be missing and should be filled, ask Cao Huachun for it." ” Yuan Kezhong stood up cautiously, how dare he really ask for it, bowed down and said: "The emperor can live in the inn of the grass people, that is the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue, the emperor must not torture the villain again." ” Zhu Xu smiled, sat down at a table in the lobby, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Talk to me.
State prefect. ”
