Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1482 The eight major Shanxi merchants were involved in the net

Foreign trade business is also an important business of Sanqian Yulong Chamber of Commerce.

Although the "exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes" in foreign trade are extremely heavy, it has to be said that the interests behind it still make countless people jealous, making businessmen from the Central Plains and Beidi keep rushing here like sideburns.

As for the development and growth of the Yulong Chamber of Commerce with a population of 3,000, the foreign trade business plays an important role.

Yulong Chamber of Commerce is one of the eight first-class branches in Da Cang, located in the land of Shanyin.

Of course, those businessmen would not give up such an opportunity during the snowstorm on the grassland. They all gathered near the border and waited eagerly.

However, there was an overwhelming fight on the Yanbei Road, and the mutual trading place was temporarily closed. The external commercial activities of the Yanwai Road were also directly cut off because of this war.

Therefore, those merchants who had already smelled the fishy smell naturally changed places and gathered one by one in Shanyin, waiting for a good opportunity to sell the goods they had accumulated.

Although Beidi and Yanbei are now at war, it still does not affect their waiting to make a good profit.

As long as Beidi cannot break through Tianlang Pass, there will naturally be a chance to push them to the last moment during this snow disaster, and when pushed to the last moment, they, the businessmen, will naturally become the other party's last choice.

When they think that their daily grain and grass will soon be sold for the price of gold, how can these merchants not stay at the border with red eyes and wait for the opportunity to come?

And when Wan Sanqian was first summoned, his implanted identity was that of a member of Luo Sheng. However, Wang Yu later separated him from the net, specifically allowing him to develop business and providing him with financial support.

In fact, at least 50% of the revenue of the Thirteen Thousand Yulong Chamber of Commerce is used for the development of Luowang. It is precisely because of the Yulong Chamber of Commerce that Luowang can grow among the seven dynasties and the four barbarians. The room is fully expanded.

The remaining 50%, a considerable proportion, needs the Yulong Chamber of Commerce for its own maintenance. The part that can really be supplied to Wang Yu, excluding the net, is actually very few.

In the final analysis, although Wan Sanqian became independent from Luo Sheng, the one who benefited the most from Wan Sanqian was still Luo Sheng.

Luo Wang benefited not only from financial support from Wan Sanqian, but also from the development of an intelligence network. A large part of the external development of the Luowang Intelligence Network was developed with the external development of the Thirteen Thousand Yulong Chamber of Commerce.

Yao Guangxiao's plan for Beidi was inseparable from the support of Luo Wang, and the person in charge of Luo Wang in Beidi, Beidi Governor Li Mibi, was like a cat that smelled a fishy smell. Of course he realized that this was Luo Wang's development and growth in Beidi. Chance.

It is precisely because of Li Mibi that Wan Sanqian's original target of cooperation has changed from a few top wealthy businessmen in Beidi to several emerging business forces on the rise!

As long as Yao Guangxiao solves the Beiming family, at that time, the Beiming family can naturally take over all the results from Wan Sanqian's hands, bear that name with peace of mind, and they will help the Beiming family with substantive actions. Done.

Moreover, in order to use such a huge batch of materials to carry out commercial cooperation with Beidi, no one in the entire Da Cang, except the four imperial merchants, could raise such a large amount of materials in a short period of time. The reason why Li Mibi suggested not to cooperate with the top northern business forces, but to cooperate with several rising business forces, was that these companies were in the process of rapid rise.

It is precisely because these companies are in the process of rapid rise that the net is convenient. They take this opportunity to infiltrate the opponent's body. In the process of the other party's rapid rise, the net attached to the other party's forces will also further develop and grow. .

The rapid rise of new forces will inevitably conflict with the interests of the old forces. Only in such conflicts can the Yulong Chamber of Commerce further develop commercial activities in Beidi and further develop the Yulong Chamber of Commerce.

The main people negotiating with Wan Sanqian this time were Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang and Huang Yunfa.

These eight people represent the newly emerging commercial forces in Beidi within the sphere of influence of the Luotang tribe. Moreover, these eight people are all system figures, and they were all involved in one or several random summons. Hidden Figures in .

These eight people are all famous representatives of Shanxi merchants in history, and several of them are among the eight major Shanxi merchants in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the top 16 large financial groups in the country were all in Shanxi. Shanxi merchants are firmly at the top of the country's business gangs and have dominated the business world for more than 500 years. Among the prominent group of Shanxi merchants, the eight major Shanxi merchants are famous. Take Fan Yongdou, whose Fan family occupies a place among the eight Shanxi merchant families.

During the glorious period, Shanxi merchants were dominant in China and well-known in Europe and Asia. Their brilliant achievements attracted attention at home and abroad. From Guangdong and Guangxi in the south to Kyaktu in the north, they spread all over the country. Camel gangs and boat gangs created commodity flow and logistics. With the support, Shanxi merchants' business grew bigger and bigger. Within a certain period of time, Shanxi merchants were a symbol of wealth. The famous Qiao Family Courtyard, Chang Family Manor, Cao Family Sanduotang, and Wang Family Courtyard all symbolize the glory and wealth of Shanxi merchants at their peak.

Comrades who have watched the TV series "Qiao Family Courtyard" should have a preliminary understanding of Shanxi merchants. In particular, the protagonist Qiao Zhiyong in the play is chivalrous and tender, with a bodhisattva heart, serving the country and the people, sacrificing his life and blood, not sparing his family wealth, and having a very nationalistic and patriotic sentiment. From the business purpose of "integrity and unity" of Shanxi merchants, we may think that Shanxi merchants have always been so sentimental about family and country and dare to assume historical responsibilities and missions.

But this was not the case for Shanxi merchants in history. In the late Ming Dynasty, Shanxi merchants were called traitors of that era precisely because they ignored national interests and pursued wealth and profits, destroying the national policy of the Ming Dynasty. Shanxi merchants helped the rising Manchu Qing Dynasty to a large extent and supported the Qing Dynasty's strength, and these profit-seeking businessmen became the most despised gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, we advanced step by step in the Western Liaoning Corridor. The impregnable Guanning line of defense was built. In the end, the Ming Dynasty perished, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty failed to break through this line of defense.

Military defense was only the first step. The most important thing for the Ming Dynasty was to refer to the historical Central Plains regime and control the lifeblood of the northern nomads. That is, the nomadic people in the north belong to a nomadic culture. They have no light industry and handicraft industry, no smelting technology, not even textile technology, and they are in short supply of food. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty unilaterally closed the trade gateways targeting the Jurchens. This was used to trap the Jurchen regime, which had a low economic level and lack of supplies, in the Northeast.

However, the Guanning defense line built by Sun Chengzong blocked the fierce Jurchen cavalry, but failed to prevent the greedy Central Plains merchants. The merchant group led by the eight Shanxi merchants, represented by Fan Yongdou, continued to supply goods through their trade routes throughout Mongolia. Houjin supplies blood.

They purchased supplies from all over the country, under the guise of doing business with the border troops, and then went north from the Shanxi port, passing through Mongolia and detouring to Zhangjiakou, where they did business with the Jurchens from afar in Zhangjiakou controlled by Mongolia.

All materials embargoed by the Ming Dynasty were tools for them to make huge profits. The Manchu Qing Dynasty purchased precious ironware, arms and military products, as well as grain and grass from Shanxi merchants. In other words, it was the Shanxi merchants who solved the urgent needs of the Hou Jin Dynasty, and also made a huge windfall from the war. At the same time, it also pushed the Ming Dynasty into the abyss.

Moreover, in order to please the Jurchens, these merchants not only traded goods, but also provided relevant internal intelligence of the Ming Dynasty.

The Shanxi merchant group represented by these eight people, after being born, were basically implanted in Beidi. They are the descendants of those people who failed in the struggle in the Central Plains and left Beidi.
