While talking to Wang, Zhang Zhaohua asked Handong to send rabbits to the county lord of Yongping. www.biquge.info Handong knew that he had a little bit of trouble with the lord of Yongping yesterday, and Zhang Zhaohua taught her a few words of quiet flattery before letting her go.

Wang wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, she knew that these county lords in the house, even if they were Zhang Zhaohua's sister-in-law, the sister-in-law was not easy to get along with, and she had to stir up trouble if she had nothing to do. Besides, as long as she is at home for a day, there is really no way to deal with her, just endure waiting for her to get married, and there is also a time to come back to add to the blockage.

In the final analysis, it is the reason for the high marriage, and marrying into the high gate of the palace with a poor gateway naturally cannot resist the exquisite eyes of others, and this reason is the same in the open era of later generations. How many girls dream of marrying into a wealthy family, but the pain of the canary of the wealthy family cannot be known, and they swallow bitter water in front of the glamorous people, because of the reason that their identity is not worthy, not to mention their families, even the servants, dare to show their faces.

Wang is worried that Zhang Zhaohua's life is not satisfactory because of this reason, but in fact, she is too careful, the male and female owners of the palace do not have any contempt for her because Zhang Zhaohua's family does not match, and her husband Gao Chi does not have the slightest dislike of it, the children of the palace are influenced by their parents and release kindness to her, even Yongping is only a little more difficult to serve, and he is not a person with a bad heart.

When Zhang Zhaohua met the Ma family and the county lord of Jiangdu, she once thought that the people of the heavenly family were so unpredictable and intrigued, but after meeting the family in Beiping, she felt that God was kind to her.

Zhang Zhaohua said with relief: "Mother just let go of your heart." I've been married, and there's never been a more comfortable day than this. ”

After saying a few words, Wang finally believed her, and then said a little worriedly: "Your second brother, he wants to run out again." ”

This running away does not mean running away, that is, Zhang Sheng wants to do caravan business again. Zhang Zhaohua didn't know what to say about this, while he was glad that he was not defeated by this disaster, but on the other hand, he was worried that his legs and feet were not dexterous, and he was not familiar with life not long after he came to Beiping.

However, Zheng said: "Let's do a small business in Beiping City first, what we mean is, first set up a shop for him, and the caravan will not leave in a while, he will take care of the shop first, run back and forth, and temporarily recruit some helpers who don't know the roots, it is better to bring the work that needs to be used in the shop." ”

"Well," Zhang Zhaohua nodded, "It's this reason." He said he wanted to do business?"

At this time, both the Wang family and the Zheng family were a little hesitant, and asked two or three times before saying: "He wants to be a salt to guide and sell salt, and he wants to sell it to places where there is a shortage of salt." ”

At this time, Zhang Zhaohua gasped and said sharply: "Everything else is fine, this alone can't!"

"This place in Beiping," Zhang Zhaohua told them about the killing of the salt merchants: "No more than other places, through the Yuanmeng people, but also through North Korea, the business is not so easy to do, the ban says, barter goods with foreign countries, and strictly punish their crimes!"

The emperor did not allow Chinese gold, silver, copper, money, duanpi, weapons and other items to be used, so on October 27, the 23rd year of Hongwu, the Ministry of Household issued a strict ban on foreign traffic, and if there was a lawsuit, he was ordered to trade privately, and his crime was strictly punished.

"Brother Sheng'er is really bold!" Zhang Zhaohua said: "What is the place where there is a shortage of salt, and where is the lack of salt? He wants to go through the door of the Yanwang Mansion, get the salt guide, and sell the salt to the Mongolian Semu people!"

"You tell him, it's absolutely impossible!" Zhang Zhaohua became more and more angry the more he spoke: "If you want to do business under the banner of the palace, he should dream of it! In the past, our family didn't get up, and our heart was not so big, and An An was honest; now when he sees me get up, his heart is also bigger! Dare to use his fame to make a profit! This will ruin my reputation outside! Let me have no face in the house!"

Seeing her making such a big fire, Wang stumbled when she spoke, but Zheng could still explain clearly: "Niangniang is angry, the second brother still doesn't dare to borrow the name of the palace, he said that he wants to be like ordinary merchants who come to Beiping to sell salt, raise grain by himself, go to the government to exchange salt by himself, and then go out of the caravan by himself." ”

"He's just going to coax you," Zhang Zhaohua didn't listen, and he was even more angry when he heard it: "Where did he get the grain from?"

"It's not a few days ago," Zheng said: "He met the original Yongcheng caravan with the people, that person came from Shanxi, a question to know, in recent years, this caravan has done the largest, and Shanxi Datong government has opened up relations, Shanxi has no excess grain, they will transport grain from Henan and Shandong, open the law in Shanxi side of the best, as long as the grain is transported, the government will never be in arrears, the same day can send salt down, with this ticket can go to Lianghuai, Yuncheng salt pond is exchanged for salt and then sold, and the difference is very profitable. ”

Zhang Zhaohua remembered that when he was a child, the reason why the price of salt was high was the result of the manipulation of these salt merchants, and selling salt to places where there was a shortage of salt would naturally make huge profits, and if he sold salt to places where salt was not produced, the profits would be more than 100 times 100 times.

Sure enough, Zheng said: "The man said again, there are some of them who are wiser and more determined, and they do not sell salt from the mainland, but from the Mongols." ”

"How to sell it?" Zhang Zhaohua said: "How can the government not care!"

"On the bright side, don't let it go through," Zheng said: "The government supports these caravans behind their backs." I heard that these caravans were selling tea, salt, cloth, medicinal herbs, and grain, and none of the Mongols shouted and shouted for killing, because they knew that this thing could only be bought and sold from the caravan, and they were in short supply! The man said that the Mongols also had clever ones, and they did not kill the chickens that laid eggs, but let the chickens keep the eggs all the time. They also knew that they killed a merchant and robbed something, and after that no one sold them anything. Therefore, those who came back from the Mongols exchanged not only gold and silver for wine, but also horses and skins and wool. ”

"Change horses," Zhang Zhaohua said in disbelief: "This is a capital crime!"

"It was supported by the government behind his back, and the Ma Guanfu in exchange for it was all accepted. Zheng said: "The officials of Shanxi are all human spirits, and it is strange to say that Shanxi people are born to be merchants, and they exchange salt for grain, and let the caravan go out of the customs, and when the caravan comes, they have to pay taxes to make money." ”

"Bad thing," Zhang Zhaohua said, "the emperor won't let you collect taxes." ”

"It's not that tax," Zheng said, "the money that the caravan paid was for the border garrison and the palace guards." ”

Zhang Zhaohua suddenly realized. The caravan spent some money, the government and the army were convenient, and the Jin Wangfu in Shanxi was opened up and down, and the best thing was that everyone benefited.

How to say -- it is the most natural thing for a merchant to get a profit, and he has a good profit by selling grain and salt, and he has a hundred times the profit when he goes outside the customs, and there are horses exchanged for the government, and the government gets the horses, and these good horses are of high value, but now they are obtained at a fair price, and they naturally make a profit. The "tax" sent by the merchants to the garrison in and out of the city outside the Guanxi is equivalent to "salary", because at this time the military tun is no longer the time when the tax is not collected in the early years of Hongwu, and it is necessary to pay 12 stone of regular grain and 12 stone of surplus grain, and hand it over to the public warehouse. Regular grain is the harvest of the laborer's necessary labor, and surplus grain is the harvest of surplus labor. At first, the monthly rations were completely self-sufficient and surplus, but now they were a little powerless, but now with the additional salaries paid by the merchants, the army did not know how happy they were, they only needed to open and close the gates.

The palace is also necessary to open up, the Jin king's power in Shanxi does not know how much, the Jin king also needs to trade goods with the Mongolian people, and the Mongolian people's fur goods are in short supply. So that's what everybody wins. Let's see that six years ago, the salt merchant begged to come to the door of King Yan, in fact, he also wanted King Yan to open the door and let him go to do business outside the Saiwai, but King Yan was not as reasonable as King Jin and did not allow the caravan to go out.

"The caravan will not be allowed to go out of the customs, His Royal Highness King Yan will not allow it," Zhang Zhaohua said: "But there is a small field in Ulanqab, which is a place for the palace and foreign trades, this place is secretly made, and the exchanges are Han people-the Mongolian people send Han people to come over to trade, this place can be learned first, don't think about selling things out of the customs, don't think about doing big business, start with the shop first." ”
