Chapter 131 Shanxi Merchants Fall, Sun Jie Eats Up
Hu Dawei looked at the Jiannu corpses on the ground, and the doubts on his face became more serious.

The head of Jiannu on the ground is really breathtaking, it is a real military achievement.

If you get some, even if you are defeated without a fight, so what?

Maybe he could take the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.

After deliberation, he still decided to open the city gate.

As the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, where in this world is there no price for wealth?
The city gate opened slowly, and Sun Jie entered the city with Chen Hu Yang Lin and three thousand soldiers.

Zhao Dading was left outside by him, and those Jiannu captives and common people had to be guarded.

Walking into the city gate, he saw Hu Dawei standing in front of him.

Hu Dawei led hundreds of soldiers in front of Sun Jie.

Looking at that posture, it is obvious that there is still some disbelief.

Sun Jie asked someone to take out his big seal and handed it over.

After seeing Sun Jie's seal, Hu Dawei finally felt relieved.

"General Sun!"

Hu Dawei stood in front of Sun Jie, arching his hands with a smile.

Sun Jie's official position is not as high as his, but there are some things that have nothing to do with official position.

"I don't know what General Sun wants to do? Can I do it for you?!" Hu Dawei asked.

While talking, he saw Fan Yongdou who was being restrained.

Hu Dawei is the general soldier of Shanxi, Shanxi merchants are the merchant gang he can't avoid, and he usually takes less money from Shanxi merchants, so he naturally knows Fan Yongdou.

Looking at Fan Yongdou in front of him, Hu Dawei looked astonished: "Master Fan?! What's going on?!"

"Fan Yongdou cheated on Jiannu, he deserves to be killed!" Sun Jie glanced at Fan Yongdou lightly, his tone more murderous.

"General Tiger, save me!"

As if he had grasped the last straw, Fan Yongdou hurriedly shouted at Hu Dawei.

"Is there a mistake? Master Fan is a well-known squire in Shanxi. Could there be some misunderstanding?!" Hu Dawei hurriedly spoke for Fan Yongdou.

"Misunderstanding?! If it's a misunderstanding, why did I go to such lengths to come to Taiyuan?" Sun Jie's tone became cold:

"Could it be that you are also a slave and spy? Then I have to check it out!"

"Um?!"

Chen Hu, who was five big and three rough beside him, stared at Hu Dawei with bull's eyes, and snorted coldly.

The surrounding soldiers also had gloomy expressions.

This made Hu Dawei's scalp tingle, and the soldiers behind him were obviously inferior to others, and they backed away again and again in fright from his eyes.

Looking at Fan Yongdou who was tied up by five flowers, Hu Dawei was in a dilemma for a while.

Shanxi merchants usually invest in him a lot. If they don't care about it, how can they hang around in Shanxi in the future?

If so, how did Jiannu's head come about?
Collapse without a fight this time is a serious crime of beheading. If there is no Jiannu head to pay for the merits, the consequences will be unpredictable!
Frowning together, his gaze moved from Sun Jie to Fan Yongdou, and then to the soldiers and horses behind Sun Jie.

His eyes were flickering, but he finally got out of the way.

The Jin merchants have invested a lot of money in him, but compared with their lives and prospects, offending the Jin merchants is not a big deal.

It's a big deal to go to other places in the future, so I won't hang myself on this tree.

Besides, Sun Jie's soldiers and horses are extremely elite, even if he wants to control them, he may not be able to control them.

Is it so easy to deal with an army that has defeated Jiannu?

Sun Jie led the team and walked in front of Hu Dawei.

The clanging sound from the rubbing of the soldiers' armor resounded in the city, echoing continuously.

Not long after, they stopped in front of the Shanxi merchant Fan's house.

The Fan family obviously did not expect this kind of thing to happen. When they saw Sun Jie's soldiers and horses, they all looked astonished.

Sun Jie asked the soldiers to block all the entrances and exits of Fan's house, and personally led the soldiers to enter through the main entrance.

The Fan family panicked and were at a loss.

"The Fan family, colluding with slaves, collaborating with enemies and capitalizing on enemies, treason and injustice, heinous crimes! Don't let anyone off your house, all money and supplies will be confiscated!"

Standing in the front yard, looking around, he gave the order to raid the house.

Crashing, the soldiers behind were rushing forward like a tidal wave.

Fan Yongdou, who controlled the surrounding area, looked at the soldiers and horses rushing in front of him, his heart throbbing.

This is the family business of his Fan family for decades and hundreds of years. Today, it is destroyed.

The soldiers don't care about anything, as long as the people in this house are under control.

If you dare to resist, the backhand is a knife.

Whoever you are!

Resist again, cut again, resist again, cut again.

Keep killing until you dare not resist.

These soldiers vividly demonstrated what it meant to be a thief, and all the things that could be moved were taken out by them.

Take away the valuable and worthless things that can be taken away, and take away all the things that cannot be taken away.

The demolition of the house was not a small one, and it quickly attracted the attention of other people in the city.

After the Fan family scattered outside knew this, they also took care of Sanqi 21 and instigated the defenders in the city to rescue people.

Hu Dawei didn't want to meddle in this matter, and issued a death order, forbidding anyone to intervene at will.

But he obviously underestimated the temptation of money, and also underestimated the Fan family's infiltration of the army.

Under the money offensive of Fan's family, several unscrupulous officers led their soldiers to attack Sun Jie.

Naturally, the result was miserable. After a face-to-face meeting, they were beaten to pieces, defeated, and a large number of people were killed or injured.

The tiger was frightened, and he quickly brought people over to make amends.

Sun Jie didn't criticize him too much, he just asked him to hand over those officers who made trouble.

Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Hu Dawei do?You can only hand over these blind people.

In fact, he didn't have any burden in his heart.

These rebellious officers are basically locals from Taiyuan, and they have inextricable relationships with Shanxi merchants.

Usually, it is difficult to manage, and I don't listen to him very much, and I follow the lead of Shanxi merchants.

Handing them over this time can just solve this problem.

After Hu Dawei left, Sun Jie sent someone to ransack the house.

As for those officers who don't have eyes, what else can they do, just cut them off.

Those Fan family members who incited the officers to rebel were also arrested and chopped down.

All of a sudden, the heads of the people who were killed were rolling in!
This is the way to deal with this kind of person!
The Fan family is very large, covering an area of ​​nearly ten acres.

There are more than 500 large and small houses, [-] small courtyards, carved beams and painted buildings, full of beautiful things in eyes, just like a small palace.

No one knows how much wealth the Fan family has, not even Fan Yongdou.

Boxes of copper coins were placed on the street outside. Many boxes containing copper coins had rotted, and many copper coins had rust.

The largest number is Wanli Tongbao, and there are also many Jiajing Tongbaos.

There were not many copper coins in the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, because the quality of the copper coins in these two periods was not good and the quality was very mixed.

Silver winter melons, gold ingots, antique calligraphy and paintings and all kinds of valuable things were moved out of the Fan family compound and placed on the street outside.

There are really too many things that can only be placed outside.

The fact that Fan's family, the leader of Shanxi merchants, was ransacked was like wind, and soon spread throughout Taiyuan City.

All of a sudden, the people in the city, regardless of whether they had anything to do, came to watch the fun.

Even the crippled on crutches, or the paralyzed on the bed, would find a way to run over to watch the excitement.

The temperament of Chinese people who love to watch the excitement has really been carried out for 5000 years.

A crowd of people surrounded the Fan family, and they never took their eyes off.

The ordinary people who joined in the fun stared straight at the money that they had never seen in their life.

Many years later, when the common people mentioned today's event, they still talked about it with gusto.

Fan Yongdou felt as if his bones had been pulled out, his whole body was limp, and he fell to the ground with a look of despair.

When copying the Fan family, Sun Jie sent people to copy the shop of the Fan family in the city.

Fan Yongdou fell into Sun Jie's hands, if he was not squeezed dry, he was crushed, sorry for the people who were squeezed by him.

There are those who watch the excitement, and naturally there are those who take advantage of the fire.

After Hu Dawei went back, he felt that this was a great opportunity.

Anyway, with Sun Jie on it, he pretended well, and no one would know if he grabbed it.

The Fan family has countless properties in the city, and it would be too conspicuous to grab the big shops, so they should grab the small ones.

Just doing what he said, Hu Dawei changed his clothes, wrapped his face tightly, and ran to the shops of Fan's family with a dozen of his cronies.

Unfortunately, he was still a step late.

As long as it is a shop of the Fan family, no matter how big or small, there will be armored soldiers watching outside.

Don't give him a chance at all.

There are also patrolling soldiers on the streets to prevent riots.

There were not many of them, but the elite armor and the gleaming waist knife in their hands shocked those anxious hearts.

There are also soldiers guarding the city gate to prevent the Fan family from leaving the city in the chaos.

There is no other way, Hu Dawei can only bury this greed in his heart, and lead people away in a resentment.

After copying for five full days, the streets outside Fan's house were filled with money and supplies, which blocked the roads.

It's hard to imagine what kind of moth this is. After a rough calculation, the wealth of Guang Fan's family is higher than Daming's annual tax revenue.

Only copper coins, silver, gold and other real objects, roughly calculated, almost 200 million taels of silver.

If real estate such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, land deeds, food, leather goods, etc. are included, the number will be even more terrifying.

This is only one place in Taiyuan. If the Fan family's hometown, Jiexiu, is added, there will probably be more.

How much tax did the Ming court pay in a year?

Since the late Jiajing period, the Ming court has never seen money.Every year I try my best to make money, but I can't get much all year round.

What kind of mentality would these emperors have if they knew that just one Fan family would earn more taxes than the Ming court in a year?
The Fan family has a lot of money, especially a lot. There is no doubt about this, and history has proved it.

In the 60th year of Kangxi, when the rebellion of Luobu Zangdanjin in Qinghai was put down, Fan Yuku, the head of the Fan family at that time, purchased military rations at his own expense at a price per stone of rice lower than two-thirds of the official price, and sent them to Qinghai at his own expense.

At that time, the grain sent to Qinghai was as large as a million stones.

Roughly calculated, the cost of silver taels was at least a million taels.

In the first year of Yongzheng, Fan Yuju raised 1404 million taels of silver as military expenses to put down the rebels.

According to historical records: "Restraining defeats with all one's strength, traveling thousands of miles in the desert, not laboring for officials, not disturbing Lu Yan, the deadline will come, and the state will save hundreds of millions of dollars!"

It is precisely because of his family's "great feats" that Yongzheng rewarded more than [-] members of his family, all of whom were court officials.

In the early years of Qianlong, a huge amount of 170 million silver was imported into the treasury of the Ministry of Households.

Qianlong, the so-called "perfect old man", was much more ruthless than his father. Since he ascended the throne, he began to crazily squeeze the Fan family's blood.

During his tenure, in addition to the silver taels that the Fan family "voluntarily" imported into the treasury, they squeezed an additional 330 seven taels of silver.

If you add the silver taels that the Fan family "voluntarily" imported into the national treasury, there will only be more.

This is still only cash. If the property and other real estate are added, it will be an extremely terrifying figure.

In the 48th year of Qianlong, the Fan family was squeezed out, and Qianlong also showed his true colors.

The Fan family, which had no use value, was swept into the garbage dump by Qianlong.

All members of the Fan family were dismissed from their official positions, and the whole family was searched. The direct descendants were exiled to the Ninggu Pagoda, and they were never allowed to return.

At this point, the Fan family, which had been prosperous for a while, finally came to an end, and all the scenery turned to dust.

They are also self-inflicted, and they deserve it.

Today, the Fan family's property has basically not been "contributed" out, so naturally it all falls into Sun Jie's hands.

Although it is not as good as during the reign of Kangxi and Yongzheng, it is still a large number.

Sun Jie stood in front of the gate of Fan's house, looking at the piles of money and supplies on the street, his face was full of emotion.

"As expected of the Eight Great Locust Merchants, they are so fucking rich!"

Cursing in my heart, I looked at Chen Hu beside me, "Go to Shaanxi and ask Liang Wu to bring another two thousand soldiers over. We can't transport the money back. There are other Shanxi merchants behind, and Fan Jiexiu, my hometown!"

"Follow the order!"

Chen Hu hurried to arrange this matter.

They're all here, so we can't just copy the Fan family, can we?

The face of the eight major locust merchants must be taken care of one by one.

Before coming here, Fan Yongdou was wiped out, and all the dirty things done by Shanxi merchants were recorded in a book.

If Sun Jie wanted to, he could do it at any time.

This matter cannot be concealed today, and other Shanxi merchants must know about it.

It is necessary to act in a timely manner and not give them a chance to breathe, lest they take the opportunity to transfer money.

Yang Lin walked out from the gate of Fan's house, followed by seven or eight counselors, carrying several large wooden boxes.

It contains the account books of the Fan family over the years, which is only a part, and there are many more behind.

Yang Lin stood in front of Sun Jie and said, "My lord, there are too many of these ledgers, and only a small part of them has been checked. If I want to find out thoroughly, I'm afraid I'll have to transfer some accounting books from Shaanxi!"

Sun Jie nodded and said, "How about this, when your Qin merchants transferred a batch of accountants, you also transferred some shopkeepers.

The Fan family's property will be taken over by you. By the way, more transfers will be made, and there will be other Shanxi merchants in the future! "

"Follow the order!"

Yang Lin took Sun Jie's order.

Seeing Yang Lin going away, Sun Jie expressed emotion: "If businessmen don't restrain themselves, the damage to society is far beyond what other people can compare.

But it can't be too restrictive, there is no business, a pool of stagnant water, the economy does not turn around, and the society still has no vitality.

Legislation has to be done to regulate business ahead of time.You can't just think about it, it's a matter of stability and prosperity. When you have time, you have to go back to modern times and study it carefully. If it doesn't work, you have to find some economists and jurists.

Liu Jianghe is a university professor with a wide network of contacts, so he should know people in this area.He has to be recommended!

Hurry up, after going back this time, according to the merits, he will be a general soldier no matter what.

After the New Year, eat Xi'an Prefecture and the surrounding areas, and then slowly start reforming! "
