People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 137 Shanxi merchants are completely wiped out! More than one billion taels of silver were copied!
After wiping out the Fan family, Cao Zhengchun did not stay this time. When he entered Taiyuan Mansion, he definitely wanted to leave a mark.

Now that people like the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce have offended me, they definitely can't let it go.

It just so happened that they attacked the General Military Mansion and wiped them all out.

Besides, it was still the Tatars who acted.

This is the sword of people like Shanxi merchants, and now they want to kill themselves.

This time, not only the Jiexiu Fan family, but also the families of the eight major locust merchants such as Yuci, Taigu, and Pingyao were all wiped out.

Originally, Cao Zhengchun was about to take action, but the Fan family's attack on the General Military Mansion was just a trigger.

Soon the Qiao family, Hou family, Chang family, Cao family, Kang family, Qu family, and Kong family were destroyed one after another.

The entire Taiyuan Prefecture was full of beacon smoke.

At first, the people couldn't believe that something like this would happen. Later, the more daring ones even went to the streets to watch.

They saw that the ones who wiped out these families were not bandits, but Tatars who roamed the northern areas and even occasionally killed Datong Prefecture.

Because Shanxi merchants monopolized a large amount of daily necessities in the Shanxi area, many people went abroad to make a living and saw what the Tatars looked like.

Now they were surprised to see that they actually entered Taiyuan Mansion in a grand manner and killed those families without being stopped by the Ming army.

Later, as the situation intensified, bolder people even began to join in the robbery of these family shops.

Go ahead and grab it!

On ordinary days, who would have thought that those kind and law-abiding people would not be polite to their shops when they saw these big bullying families being wiped out.

Saying "grab", the sturdy young man headed towards the rice shop and jewelry store.

The men went back once, and when they came out the second time, they called their wives and children at home.

Naturally, there is no need to bother with the shop that was robbed by the Tatars. You can just go in and take whatever you want.

The doors of the shops that had not yet been robbed could not stop anyone.

Food stores, tea shops, grocery stores, everything is good, the doors will be smashed open.

Men, women, old and children were shouting, wildly, crowded, quarreling, banging on doors and shouting.

The door panel fell down, and everyone ran in like a swarm of swarms, squeezing and scratching.

Overwhelmed by the mad scream, the body jumped up to the counter neatly, all with red eyes, all fighting for their lives, all moving forward bravely, huddled together, fell into pieces, and scattered across the street.

Carrying, holding, carrying, dragging, like a field of defeated ants, going away and coming back, calling for his wife and children, answering the call in front and behind.

The valuables were moved first, and the coal, rice, and firewood were moved second.

Some were carrying the whole jar of sesame oil, and some were carrying two bags of noodles alone.

Bottles and jars were broken all over the street, and rice noodles were scattered all over the sidewalk.

Grab it!

Grab it!

Grab it!

Everyone hates that they only have one pair of hands, and everyone thinks that their legs and feet are too slow!
Some people will push a jar of candy and roll it on the ground with the jar, like a dung beetle pushing a big ball of dung.

At this time, those Shanxi merchants who were lucky enough not to be killed by the Tatars did not dare to raise their heads.

They were unable to protect their property and goods, and anyone who dared to resist would risk their lives.

The Tatars have knives, and the common people also have kitchen knives!

They lowered their heads as if a little ashamed.

They were afraid that they would confront the people who robbed them, the people they usually exploited, and be hacked to death by the angry people.

At this time when there is no king's law, killing a few traders is nothing. Anyway, there are already so many Tatars killing people in front of them.

In this situation, not many Shanxi merchants dared to stand up and suppress the people.

The common people seemed to be in charge of their own affairs.

When they rushed into those shops to steal things, they even told themselves that these things were once stolen from us by profiteers.

We are just returning them to their original owners.

Besides, those profiteers have been killed now, what else can they do?
They must not be able to cause trouble for themselves. In the past, all I thought about those Tatars was that it would be great if all these bloody bitches were killed by God.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Why don't we just help poor people like ourselves and kill these evil-doing profiteers together?

Cao Zhengchun looked at the chaotic Taiyuan Mansion.

It's said to be chaos but there is order within the chaos.

At least the people seemed to be as happy as celebrating the New Year.

Although there are some lawless people fishing in troubled waters, this chaos will soon be quelled.

At this time, he was sitting in front of the main office of Shanxi Merchant Bank.

This is the real critical place.

In addition to storing an unknown amount of silver, the most important thing is related to the true heritage of Shanxi merchants.

The silver stored in the Shanxi merchant family compound is all floating wealth.

And the real finance is all here.

Keeping the ticket number means saving something of real value to Shanxi merchants.

In addition to monetary value, there is also financial value.

The cleaning lasted for three days.

The people were not injured at all.

The Shanxi merchants suffered heavy casualties.

This compound and that compound were all cleaned up.

The large yard of the ticket office is filled with wooden boxes.

There are not many trees around Taiyuan Prefecture, so we can only remove the beams and other things from Shanxi merchants' homes and pack them into wooden boards.

These three days can be said to be a carnival and a zero-yuan shopping festival for the common people.

Originally, it should be said that it was unfortunate that this happened, but all the people killed were famous Shanxi merchants, and the common people were not hurt at all, which is enough.

Fortunately, Shanxi merchants live in relatively concentrated areas, unlike Chen Han who lives in several provinces in the southeast, where he has to turn over the signs every time he robs.

dong dong dong...

Listen to the Tatars breaking wooden boxes in the yard of the bank.

There was a clanking sound that gave Ma Gui and the prefect of Taiyuan a headache when they heard it.

This is a copy of hundreds of families.

I don’t know how much gold, silver, and jewelry came out. The entire ticket number was piled up, and even the dozens of nearby goods stations were full.

After Cao Zhengchun occupied the main bank account, he even personally took a look at the silver stored in the bank account.

It was also the first time for the Taiyuan prefect to know that there was so much silver in the ticket number.

Inside the warehouse, he even saw that the warehouse covered several acres of land and was filled with silver.

That would cost tens of millions of taels.

Including the silver copied from those families, there must be tens of millions of taels?
Just as the Taiyuan prefect had imagined, the property returned from the house raid had been inspected for more than ten days.

Finally the investigation came out.

The amount of silver recovered from the house raids alone amounted to more than 7 million taels, and antique calligraphy and paintings were piled up in several warehouses.

Cao Zhengchun stood on the edge, looking at the mountain-like wealth.

Cao Zhengchun was also a little numb with excitement.

How come these Shanxi merchants are so rich?

If all this money goes to the treasury, it will not be able to support the court for several years.

This is really a fall for Shanxi merchants, and the imperial court is full!
Tishuai wants to carry out reforms, but is he still worried about having no money to spend?
