Chapter 382
Compared with the dilapidation of Jiankang City, today's Jingkou can be said to have reached a peak of prosperity, because of the impact of the war in the west and the Xingtai standing here, many families from the north and the south gathered here.

In the past, the prosperity of Jingkou was more of a gathering place for migrants and a distribution center for north-south goods.A large number of families from the north and the south poured in. After seeing the huge market potential and relatively stable environment of Jingkou, the popularity of buying properties in Jingkou reached a peak for a while.

In the past six months or so, although the battle in the west was fierce, Jingkou was not really affected because of the existence of Daye Xiongguan.After a period of turmoil, the market has gradually returned to the right track with the influx of goods from the south.Without the dual pressure of survival and safety, the atmosphere in Jingkou became active again, and even set off a climax of construction.

Compared with the old capital Jianye, Jingkou's geographical environment is safer. The [-]-mile-wide river does not have to worry about threats from the north. Moreover, on the north bank of the river, there are scattered military forces of refugees scattered between Huaisi and Huaisi.It is connected to Sanwu in the south, and with the dredging and repair of the entire Wuzhong waterway, it is more convenient to obtain supplies in Wuzhong.There are also a large number of military facilities in the west, so there is no need to worry about threats from upstream.

For these families who have just suffered from the Liyang Rebellion, Jingkou is simply a perfect place to recuperate.In the past, they gave up operating in Jingkou because a large number of refugees gathered here and could not be resettled, and the law and order was too chaotic. In addition, Jingkou at that time had not undergone large-scale development, and the mountains were densely covered with wild animals.

However, with the vigorous development of Shangmeng and Yinjue in Jingkou, many infrastructures have been established, large areas of wasteland have been developed, and the diversion and resettlement of refugees have also been on the right track. Jingkou is no longer what it used to be.

Such a safe and potential treasure land has naturally aroused the covetousness of many people.These newcomers want to make arrangements in Jingkou, which will inevitably affect some of the patterns that have formed here.Nowadays, if aristocratic families want to operate in a certain place, they seldom follow the proper path. On the one hand, the price paid is too high, and on the other hand, the progress will not be too fast.

However, when they wanted to use their past experience to steal and plunder, they encountered unprecedented strong resistance.To give a simple example, a certain high-ranking foreign family wants to embezzle the property of some poor family according to its authority. Obviously, this family does not have the status and reputation, but once it is invaded, it responds everywhere. Soon to be the target of public criticism, even security is threatened!
In the past period of time, similar disputes have been staged almost every day in Jingkou, and there are even vicious times when some foreigners were directly killed by local exiles and burned, killed and looted at their homes.After receiving enough lessons, these outsiders gradually realized the power of Yinjue and Shangmeng weaving in Jingkou.

It is impossible to use force. After these outsiders realized this problem, some chose to stay dormant, and some were still unwilling.It is true that compared with these families who have been operating in Jingkou for a long time, they are lacking in manpower and material resources, but it does not mean that there is no opportunity for cooperation with each other.

People like Jingkou may have sufficient manpower and financial resources, but they have one shortcoming, that is, they don't have any political resources and promotion channels, so they stay in Jingkou for a long time.However, the outsiders went to Jiankang very early to operate, no matter in terms of reputation or status, they are unmatched by people like Jingkou.

It is true that in Jiangdong, where the rebellion has not yet been quelled, the value of these resources is greatly reduced compared with the peaceful world.But in other words, because of this, those local people in Jingkou are also coveted by Dasheng.After all, at present, wealth only guarantees a relatively stable standard of living, but fame and status can determine the starting point and future of a family. Has great attraction.

On this issue, the two sides hit it off. The outsiders were responsible for building fame and winning official positions for the local families, and the local families provided convenience for these people to establish a foothold in Jingkou.

At present, when the invisible barriers of class are so strict, even if the children of poor families have a lot of money, they have nowhere to ask for political advice and are looked down upon.But now, as long as they provide some goods, people, and land, they can become guests at the high-end seats, socialize and chat with those celebrities who were unattainable in the past.This was simply unimaginable in the past!
But for those celebrities from aristocratic families, these Jingkou gossips are so vulgar and vulgar, with no elegance, let alone a family name to speak of.In the past, don't talk about communicating with these people, even if you accidentally saw them, you would feel that you have polluted your own audiovisual.However, these people in Jingkou have resources that they can't reach, but they have no means to snatch them.

Although each of them still has a lot of power in the Xingtai, but now even the Xingtai has to be supported by these people, and their little power is really not enough to pose a substantial threat to the other party.And because of the existence of the Yinjue and the Merchant Alliance, and the inextricable relationship between the Huaibei Migrant Army and East Yangzhou and these people, the previous method of dividing and disintegrating and inciting them to fight each other will not work.Cooperation seems to be the only way to obtain the resources at their disposal.

Living in Jingkou is not easy. Most of these people leave the capital in a hurry, and they don’t have much belongings with them. In addition, prices in Jingkou are soaring, and Xingtai doesn’t have enough financial resources to support them.With the procrastination of the war in the west, many people naturally fell into the predicament of life.

There is a huge gap in fortune, when food and clothing cannot be satisfied, and people have different temperaments, they will naturally make various choices.It is true that a considerable number of people are still proud of their family status, but there are also many people who want to improve their living conditions, and naturally they hit it off with those Jingkou families who have nowhere to go.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of these families with the old surnames, many families in Jingkou who had never had a clear reputation rose to fame, and some families who had a good reputation because their family fortunes fell when they crossed south earlier took advantage of this opportunity. Back to the mainstream view again.

With the help of these local families, those outsiders also began to buy properties in Jingkou, and many garden villas sprung up. The shares in Yinjue also changed and traded frequently, which made the whole Jingkou glow with new vitality.

After passing the Daye Pass, Shen Zhezi met his second uncle Shen Ke who came to greet him and many old relatives of Wuzhong in the business alliance.The team that followed him back to the stage this time can be described as huge, and Jiankang has temporarily reached a compromise. As the powerful factions in the current situation, Tao Kan and Wen Qiao have reached a consensus with Director Wang, and each dispatched a team to follow Shen Zhezi Go to Xingtai to meet the Empress Dowager and others.

Originally, Shen Zhezi didn't plan to return to Jingkou in the near future. Although he didn't have a specific job in the capital, he still needed to go to Jiangbei to mobilize and dispatch manpower and material resources in person.However, Yinjue and some leaders of the business alliance in Xingtai have spread rumors about some bad trends, and there is also a little surprise in the selection of personnel to go to Jiangbei.

Many of the aristocratic families who followed Shen Zhezi in his surprise attack on Jiankang enthusiastically asked to join Du He's team, which made Shen Zhezi a little unexpected, but not lacking in joy.These people are willing to go to Jiangbei to make meritorious deeds. Shen Zhezi is happy to see their success, but it is not good to just send people to Jiangbei so casually, and he cannot explain to their respective families. The family has communicated well. If you still insist on going, then join together.

Because of the urgent urging from Jingkou, Shen Zhezi arrived at Daye first, ordered the personnel staying at Daye to be responsible for receiving the army behind, and then set off to Jingkou with those who greeted him.

Along the way, Shen Ke talked to Shen Zhezi about the hidden worries in the development of Yinjue and the business alliance, which is the foreword of the transactions and cooperation between many foreign and local families.The integration of supply and marketing of Yinjue and Shangmeng was built overnight, and many established rules have been formed as the operation grows.However, with the frequent changes of participants, many of the original rules were broken, which brought great trouble to the daily operations of the two.

"Earlier when Tao Gong defeated Liyang, there were already rumors in Xingtai that Dao Yu's relatives could be used. If they did nothing, they were guilty of causing trouble to Jiangdong. This time, Tao Gong led the people to the east, not only to put down the rebellion, but also to set things right. Protect the army In Xingtai, maintaining the relationship is already difficult, if not for the empress dowager's stubbornness, the situation would be even more worrisome."

After Shen Ke finished talking about the general situation in Jingkou, he sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and their desires are hard to satisfy. The business alliance has its own foundation in Wuzhong, and it can still maintain stability. But now Yinjue is a pot of boiling water, and many people Joining in, I want to divide the power of affairs. The guards have been unable to make a decision, and the goods that were collected and transported to Jiankang earlier are now trapped along the river, and they cannot start after delaying."

Shen Zhezi nodded slightly after hearing the words.He is not surprised that there will be problems with the structure of Yinjue and Shangmeng.The reason why this framework was able to be established earlier was because there was a premise of joint efforts to develop the large Jingkou market.But now the Jingkou market has been fully developed, revealing enough potential and benefits, it is normal for people to covet it.

Shen Zhezi never thought that relying solely on the power of capital can accomplish too profound changes. No matter what kind of economic changes in any period, politics first is always a prerequisite that cannot be ignored.Although the establishment of Yinjue was supported by the provocative theoretical support of the five-level and three Jin Dynasty in the early stage, what is more important is the protection and attraction provided by the power of the Yu family.

Now that the power of the Yu family is in jeopardy, it is certain that Yin Jue will waver.In particular, Xingtai was founded in Jingkou, which gave many people the illusion that they could enter the center with a single leap and complete a great leap in their family background.In such a situation, political progress can easily overwhelm the demand for interests, thus providing people with the possibility of division and disintegration.

Shen Zhezi's calmness at the moment is not a pretentious gesture, or in hindsight, when he decided to place the Xingtai in Jingkou, he had already anticipated the current situation.Earlier, because he was busy in the war to gain merits, he just planned to divide Yangzhou in Jingkou and left in a hurry. He did not make any deeper changes to Yinjue and Shangmeng. In fact, he left a hole, hoping to get more people involved Come in.

Shen Zhezi didn't feel that it was ungrateful for those hermits to strive for political advancement, and it was instinct for people to choose greater interests under the right circumstances, and he was also happy to see these families show their political ambitions.Many things cannot be measured by morality.

History has its contingency and inevitability, and the development of anything will have a process.In the original history, apart from a few overseas Chinese families in Jingkou, such as the Yu family, the Chu family, including the Xi family, which found a prominent position in the current situation, they jumped onto the political stage as a whole with political ambitions. decades later.

But now the situation in Jingkou shows that these people already have their own political intentions and are working hard for them. Of course, there are shadows of those Qingxu overseas Chinese wooing, but the rise of these people is bound to carve up the inherent political resource.Those masters thought they could encourage these people to achieve their own intentions, but they have actually reached the edge of the grave that Shen Zhezi dug for them!
