The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 66 Marketing the world's Qin Tang

The Ming Dynasty died for various reasons, among which Shanxi merchants had to bear a great deal of responsibility.

Fornicating slaves, collecting intelligence, aiding the grasslands, and selling the masters for glory.

If this group of people were killed, Jianu would not dare to say that he would go straight to the street, but he would also lose a lot of vitality.

According to "Wanquan County Annals": "The eight merchants were all from Shanyou, and they came to Zhangjiakou for trade in the late Ming Dynasty.

Said: Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yongfa, who sent people from Longxing Liaozuo in the current dynasty to trade at the port, are all the heads of the eight families. "

These eight families worked hard for Jiannu to enter the customs, and were later awarded the title of Eight Great Imperial Merchants by Jiannu.

What a shame!

When these eight great families shake their feet on the boundary of Shanxi, the whole of Shanxi will tremble three times.

However, they are not omnipotent gods, so they naturally have worries.

Not long ago, a kind of high-quality icing sugar suddenly appeared on the market, sold by Qin merchants, the price is not high, and the quality is outstanding.

Compared with the frosting sold by Shanxi merchants, it is a puddle of shit, to put it bluntly.

Ordinary icing tastes very sweet, but after eating sugar from Qin merchants, and then eating sugar from Shanxi merchants, you will find that the sugar from Jin merchants is rough and even has a strange smell.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

After the common people ate the sweets from the Qin merchants, they could no longer bear the strange taste of the sweets from the Jin merchants.

Commerce is prevalent in Shanxi, and there are many merchants attached to the Eight Great Families.

These merchants buy and eat on a daily basis, and they no longer buy sugar from Shanxi merchants, but instead buy sugar from Qin merchants.

Even the gentry in Shanxi abandoned Shanxi merchants almost overnight.

Not only in Shanxi, but to the east and south of Shanxi, where there are Qin Shang, there is Qin Shang white sugar.

It can't be said that it is making money every day, it is simply picking up money, and the wind is not so strong.

The capital is also a key place for Shanxi merchants to operate. The city is extremely luxurious and luxurious, and the children of the nobles spend a lot of money.

People's love for sweets and sugar is deeply engraved in their genes. When Qin Shang's sugar appeared in the capital, all sugars stood aside.

Let alone the other candies for sale, no one would even take a look at them!
The end of the new year is approaching, and Qin Shang's candy is selling like crazy.

Several Qinshang shops in Shanxi were sold out, and the price of sugar continued to rise.

In addition to icing sugar, the prices of those throat lozenges, fruit candies and other sugars are soaring, and the sales volume is very good, which is outrageous.

There is a saying that goes well: "Seeing you make money is more painful than me losing money!"

This sentence is a wise saying. Today's eight major merchants in Shanxi are more uncomfortable than eating fly droppings.

Qin merchants have always been the key targets of suppression by Shanxi merchants.

Originally, Qin merchants had no choice but to fight back against Shanxi merchants, so how could they have the power to fight back?

But now, the icing sugar for sale alone has overwhelmed Shanxi merchants.

Jin merchants also mobilized all resources to investigate where Qin merchants' sugar came from, but they spent a lot of money and couldn't find out at all.

In the largest room, the heads of the Eight Great Families sat next to a stove.

Butter candles lit up the entire room, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Despite the whirring of the stove, the room was still a bit cold.

After a long silence, Fan Yongdou, the Patriarch of the Fan Family, spoke, but his tone was low.

"Everyone, what do you think of this matter? What should I do?"

He reached into his bosom and took out a wooden box. After opening it, several throat mints packed in transparent plastic bags stood out.

Take one apart and put it in your mouth.

The expression on his face was both ugly and cheerful. It was hard to imagine that these two completely different expressions would appear on the same person's face.

In his early years, Fan Yongdou often traveled between the grassland and the inland. The grassland was bitterly cold, drought and lack of water, so he suffered from "plum nuclear gas" (a chronic pharyngitis that is difficult to cure in modern times). Every autumn and winter, his throat itched unbearably, sometimes burning, sometimes dry粝.

There is always a sticky phlegm in the throat, and if the cold wind is sucked, it may even retch.

However, after trying the throat mints launched by Qin Shang, the uncomfortable feeling has been greatly relieved.

After one candy, the throat feels like it has been cleared, not to mention how comfortable it is.

The uncomfortable feeling almost disappeared completely, which made people feel happy.

However, although the effect is good, it takes a while, and after a long time of not eating, it returns to normal.

No way, had to keep eating.

Although the sugar is good, it is sold by Qin merchants, which makes Fan Yongdou both happy and angry.

Every time I buy it, I contribute money to Qin Shang.

Of course I don't want to buy it, but that feeling is so comfortable that I can't control it.

"Oh, what can be done? What can be done about this?"

"This gang of poor people has gained power today!"

"The shitty Qin Shang!"

There was a lot of cursing in the room, but basically no other thoughts.

It seems that there is no other way but to curse.

Fan Yongdou took a breath and let it out slowly.

The lungs and heart are refreshed, and the throat seems to be in the clouds.

With a slightly anxious face, he said: "The children of the Qin merchants have this kind of candy, but it's a pity that I don't own it.

You have to find a way to take the source back, even if you can't, you have to destroy this business! "

Tian Shenglan, the Patriarch of the Tian Family, was sitting next to him, patting her thigh non-stop, with a sad face on her face: "Take it? How do you take it? Even you eat his candy every day, let alone other things!

As for destroying, how?This group of Qin merchants made money and stuffed a lot of ice and charcoal in the capital. It is said that several Donglin parties have accepted it.

The gifts are all kinds of candies. Although there is not much money, these things are more precious than money.The ugly Qin Shang, now the entire court, said that Qin Shang is good, and even the poor place in Shaanxi has become a place of gentleness and kindness. "

The more he talked, the more angry Wang Lansheng stood up, pointing to the sky, and cursed: "What else are you talking about, Qin is outstanding, it is the hometown of the three sages, it is the land of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the people are gentle, peaceful and healthy!

Let me go to hell, which one of those thieves today is not from Shaanxi?One by one is very tight, Fengyang was ruined a while ago, and now it has become a land of kindness. It's really fucking annoying, disgusting, disgusting! "

The room was full of Wang Lansheng's voice, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he scolded Qin Shang with the most vicious voice.

Still not relieved, he started yelling again: "Those Huai merchants in the south are guarding the salt one by one, they don't miss these sugars, and they even cooperate with Qin merchants. They all wear a pair of fucking pants, damn it!"

The rough and rude words were endless, and the rest of the people in the room also found a vent and cursed.

This situation is the first word:

"I was originally from the back mountain, and I was a guest in front of me. Drunk dance with half a volume of books in the Jingge, sitting in the well and talking about the vastness of the sky.

Great ambitions play fame and fortune, and sea battles measure blessings and misfortunes.When it comes to being shy in the pocket, he angrily points out that the world is wrong. "

Fan Yongdou frowned, and sighed: "Everyone, what's the use of scolding? If you and I want to deal with it, it's not just playing tricks here!"

Like a punctured balloon, it deflates instantly.

Wang Lansheng sat down again dejectedly, at a loss.

How to deal with it?Is it possible to suppress directly?How to suppress it?

In the past, it would be fine for people to ginseng a few of them, but now, the officials of the DPRK and China are all fed, and ginseng is useless!

Is it possible to use force?
Yes, Shanxi merchants have their own way, but don’t Qin merchants have them?

After all the calculations, there is no real way at all.

He became the same as before, unable to let out a real fart for a long time!

……

The moon was still hanging high, and there were several dogs barking in the streets and alleys of the capital.

In the East Nuan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, the haggard Emperor Chongzhen sat in front of the desk, looking at a map laid out on the table.

"What the hell is this Sun Chuanting doing? It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement?"

Frowning again, he raised his head and looked north at Shanhaiguan.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, under the leadership of Huang Taiji, Jiannu detoured to Xifengkou and entered the capital, and the capital and capital were corrupted.

If Jiannu invaded again at this time, they would have to mobilize troops.

The troops of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou are strong soldiers from Kansai. If Li Zicheng and other thieves cannot be wiped out in time, once the old trick of slavery is repeated, what will happen?
Abandon the thieves and guard the capital?

Although the thieves are grass bandits, if they are left alone, the situation may worsen.

Abandon the capital to destroy the thieves?

This method is not enough, the capital city is the best place in the world, so there is no room for mistakes.

Therefore, it is necessary to attack the Shaanxi bandits in a short period of time, in case of surprise, and leave enough soldiers and horses to prepare slaves.

As the night got darker, with the shadows of lights and candles, the eunuch on duty at the side replaced the candles with new ones.

The orchid on the lampshade was translucent, Chongzhen leaned back on the chair, rubbing his forehead.

Less than 30 years old, the temples are already gray, the bags under the eyes are heavy, and he is haggard.

Footsteps sounded outside the house, and Cao Huachun, the eunuch under Li Bingbi, the admiral of Dongchang, and the chief admiral of the Jingying Rongzheng, walked in carrying a beautifully decorated food box.

The eunuch outside the house hurriedly closed the door when Cao Huachun entered, fearing that the cold air would pour in.

Walking to the side of Chongzhen, the voice was soft, "It is already late at night, the work of the case is not worth the health of the dragon body, and the government affairs are urgent, and the dragon body should be the most important thing.

The emperor is the help of all people in the world, please rest early! "

Opening his eyes, Chongzhen's restless mood eased a lot.

The person in front of him had entered Prince Xin's Mansion when Chongzhen was a child.

He almost saw Chongzhen grow up with his own eyes. During the Tianqi period, Cao Huachun offended Wei Zhongxian and was sent to Jinling to guard the tomb.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne as emperor, he was transferred back again.

He has been diligent and diligent for decades, deeply favored by Chongzhen, and is commensurate with his daily companions.

"Big Companion, this country is here, why should I rest? Before the emperor died, he held my hand and said: My younger brother should be Yao and Shun!"

Having said this, Chongzhen stood up and walked slowly back and forth in the warm pavilion.

"This is a great country, it is the land of our ancestors, we must not lose anything. I am tired, but state affairs must not be delayed!

If I can use my lifespan to exchange for the well-being of the world and the peace of the world, I will also exchange it! "

Turning around, seeing the food box in Cao Huachun's hand, he asked, "What kind of supper did Big Companion make?"

Cao Huachun cleaned up the desk and took out a casserole with a lid.

Open the lid of the casserole and bring out another exquisitely decorated official kiln bowl.

The heat is still there, and the heat preservation of the casserole is good.

Put it on the table, tidy up the rest of the things, stand by the table, and replied: "It's a bowl of lotus seeds, qin sugar, and millet porridge, nourishing the stomach, promoting blood circulation, and nourishing qi!"

Qin Tang is the sugar that Sun Jie asked Qin merchants to sell.

It is very popular in the capital. In order to distinguish it, people call it "Qin Tang".

Although the palace is in short supply, the money is indispensable.

So I bought some too.

"It's Qin Tang!"

Chongzhen frowned, and sat down at the desk again.

This is not the first time Chongzhen has eaten Qin Tang, even though he has eaten it for so long, he never gets tired of it every time he eats it.

Stir with a spoon and steam rises.

Chongzhen has already smelled that sweet smell.

Take a spoonful, blow air carefully, and put it into your mouth after it is slightly cooled.

The sweetness wraps the mouth, and the face is full of satisfaction.

The sugar is plentiful, pure sweetness without any astringency.

"Hahaha, Qin Tang is really good, there are such good things in the world!"

Three times, five times, two times, a bowl of hot porridge, his face flushed, and his energy was replenished.

Sugar is the direct energy source of the human body.

White granulated sugar enters the body, undergoes hydrolysis, and turns into glucose in a very short time, which is the function of the human body.

Not as straightforward as glucose, but not bad.

Seeing Chongzhen in such a state, Cao Huachun smiled.

However, he is old, showing his old state, and has already started to retire.

Soon after, he will resign and return to his hometown, but he is still there.

Putting down the spoon in his hand, Chongzhen suddenly felt depressed.

Without waiting for Cao Huachun to ask, he said sadly: "I am envious of Qin Fan, this is Qin Tang, Qin Fan will definitely enjoy it every day.

According to this, Shaanxi is one hundred and eight thousand miles away. I am the emperor, but I can't enjoy it as much as Qin Fan! "

Who is Chongzhen?He is more wary of the prince than his elder brother.

He was originally a vassal king ascending the throne, subconsciously, he was naturally extremely bored.

When I think that I have worked so hard for the country, I have never enjoyed Qin Tang for a few days, and Qin Wang's lineage can enjoy such delicious food without doing anything, I am instantly unconvinced.

Chongzhen is such a person. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, slaves were established and invaded by bandits. Tang Wang Zhu Yujian raised troops to serve the king.

Before he reached the capital, Jiannu withdrew.This matter was known by Chongzhen, but Chongzhen didn't care what his motives were, he only said that Tang Wang Zhu Yujian disrespected the ancestor's precepts and left the fief at will, which angered Chongzhen.

Later, he was imprisoned in Fengyang by Chongzhen, lost his freedom of life, and almost died there.

"but……"

The tone suddenly changed, and he said suddenly: "Shaanxi is poor, Sun Chuanting has given memorials before.

It's unbelievable that such a delicious frosting comes out of a bitter cold place.

Bitter, sweet.Only when there is bitterness can there be sweetness, first bitterness and then sweetness.

It is hard for the people of Qin, three disasters and six disasters continue, but it is not easy to create the sweetest thing in the world, it is not easy! "

"The people of the Qin land are also the people of Your Majesty, and they must be separated from those rebellious officials and thieves.

It is the blessing of the people that the emperor loves the people! "

Cao Huachun on the side said.

Chongzhen nodded, and then set his eyes on the map beside the table.

"The bandits in Qin must be eradicated, and they should be eradicated by thunder!

Tomorrow morning, let the cabinet draft an imperial decree and pass on my decree, let Sun and Hong fight decisively as soon as possible, without refusing, and wipe out the bandits in January at the latest, without delay.

For the sake of the people of Qin, and for the sake of all the people in the world, thunderbolts should be used to wipe out the bandits! "

Chongzhen slapped the table in front of him and shouted loudly.
