Wada Castle Gun Keeper House.

There are heads and faces in Hetian City, well-known underworld figures, big smugglers, and white gloves of various tribes gathered together to discuss various news about the recent news.

A big man with sunken cheekbones and a bearded face said, "Lord County Guard, is it true that the horse is going to tax the merchants?"

If we are allowed to do this, then our business foundation in Hetian City for many years will be ruined. ”

As the leader of the Yi tribe's sale of goods to the Shengyuan Dynasty, these recent things have made him unbearable.

Looking at the people in this hall, he also knew that he would be kicked out of this position if he was not careful.

It couldn't have been easier for all of these people here to unite and get rid of the county guard of his small tribe.

But Xu Fusheng is holding the key person of Lankul again, and he will not let go, and the recent actions of confiscating the industry are almost open robbery.

An old man who looked a little older frowned and said, "Lord County Guard, what does this colt want to do, we must do our best to cooperate if we can, but we can't do it so unscrupulously." ”

This is an elder who has been a merchant in Hotan City for many years, and he has a great reputation for smuggling and trafficking.

Shedding had a headache, and said with a bitter face:

"Ladies and gentlemen, when Master Ma first served as the envoy of the Commercial and Financial Bureau, he was bent on opening up the situation, and the lower officials could only cooperate.

As for the taxation, it is still being discussed, and there are no clear regulations. ”

"What was the reason for the ranchoir?" asked a big man aggressively.

Totobei glanced at the big man who spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Lan Kuer dared to instruct people to assassinate the horses in southern Xinjiang, and was caught by the people of the horse master on the spot, this kind of crime is not to be exaggerated.

Everyone, if you still want to do business in this Hotan City, then you have to find a way to get our horse master.

If anyone dares to do something that is not good for our Hetian City, then don't blame the county guard for turning his face. ”

Everyone in the hall was talking for a while, and they also knew that it was definitely not a ghost in the middle, but their interests were damaged, and they couldn't find the right owner, so they had no choice but to come to this parent official of Hetian City.

At last, everyone stopped talking, and the old man who began to speak spoke again:

"Lord Commander, what do you mean, how can we cooperate with this master of the horse so that we can restore our business order as soon as possible. ”

Tuo Tuobei pretended to ponder for a moment, a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to cooperate specifically, but I heard that this master wants to rectify the order of this business, and has set up a specific agency called Nanjiang Qianzhuang."

I don't know exactly what to do yet, so you can go back and learn more about it, and then think about it in the long run. ”

Detobei will not directly say Xu Fusheng's demands, although he does not understand business.

But he has been an official for many years and knows the way of self-preservation, Xu Fusheng wants to get what he wants.

You have to compete with these people or the people behind these people, and you can only help from the side, and you can't directly charge for him.

Although everyone didn't get much useful information from the county guard this time, they finally knew about such an institution as Nanjiang Qianzhuang and had a clue to solve the problem.

When everyone left the county guard's mansion, they asked their subordinates to inquire about the money village in southern Xinjiang, and at the same time passed the information back to the people behind it.

Xu Fusheng has not had an easy time recently, and these merchants always have a way to explore the tribes in southern Xinjiang, which directly caused the second prince to send someone to Hotan City to let Xu Fusheng restrain himself.

Xu Fusheng naturally knew Feng Qing's thoughts, his throne had not yet been secured, and if he continued like this, it was very likely to cause a strong backlash from various tribes.

But Xu Fusheng didn't plan to stop, but became more and more determined to implement his plan.

Only by quickly mastering the merchants of the Southern Xinjiang Road can his Nanjiang Money Bank and the Commercial and Financial Bureau get a piece of the pie in the next feast.

As for whether the Southern Xinjiang Road is chaotic or not, he doesn't care, it's better if it's chaotic, and it's convenient for him to fish in troubled waters.

After continuously rejecting batches of businessmen who wanted to visit him, Xu Fusheng finally met the first big businessman from Hotan City in the southern Xinjiang Qianzhuang.

The two had the following conversation.

"Master Pony, I'm here on behalf of a group of merchants, how do you want us to cooperate with your work?" the old man got straight to the point.

"Please call me Director Xu, my function of the Commercial and Financial Bureau is to help everyone regulate the market order, so that everyone can do business legally, so as to improve the status of businessmen. ”

"But what you are doing so far is not what we see, what is your demand?

On behalf of some of the merchants, I promise you that as long as you can follow the old rules, we will have a lot of filial piety. ”

Xu Fusheng shook his head and said, "Every change will have pains, Elder Xilai, you have misunderstood what I meant.

I don't need filial piety, I just hope that in the future, in southern Xinjiang, businessmen will become a respectable livelihood. ”

"Before we came today, we had already let people deposit 50,000 taels of silver in the Southern Xinjiang Money Village.

If you want, trust us to deposit at least that much every year. Xilai looked sincere.

Of course, Xu Fusheng knew that they had deposited 50,000 taels of silver in the Southern Xinjiang Money Bank, otherwise he would not have agreed to meet this person.

He slowly got up and looked out the window and said, "Elder Xilai, I know what you are worried about.

But I can guarantee that you can use this money at any time, and what I hope is that in the future, all merchants in Nanjiang Province can use Nanjiang bills of exchange to trade.

When it reaches a certain scale, we will collect commercial taxes. ”

Xilai's eyelids jumped when he heard this request, it seems that this horse master is not here for this little money at all.

It's just that Lankull's fate has already been laid out there, and they really don't have the courage to break the net.

Besides, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, it may not be able to fight the other party.

The old man sighed and said: "It's not that we don't use the Southern Xinjiang bills of exchange, but that we, the merchants, go south and north, and it is difficult to guarantee the exchange and credit of the Southern Xinjiang bills."

Moreover, for it to circulate, at least everyone needs to approve of such bills of exchange. ”

Xu Fusheng said sonorously: "I know that everyone will not be comfortable in the early stage, but what I want to do is not just to manage everyone.

Our Commercial Finance Bureau will also help everyone to make money, and wait until the Shengyuan Dynasty and Nanjiang Road are opened to the market.

You will be able to trade in the open, and I will guarantee that your earnings will be at least much higher than before.

If all the merchants in southern Xinjiang can be unanimous with the outside world, then I think the transaction price with the Shengyuan Dynasty will not be too low.

You've been in business for so many years, you know what I mean.

Moreover, the various goods that flow into the Southern Xinjiang Province of the Shengyuan Dynasty can also be equipped with corresponding shares according to the energy of each family. ”

When Xilai heard that he was going to exchange markets with the Shengyuan Dynasty, he was shocked, and said with a look of surprise: "Southern Xinjiang wants to communicate with the Shengyuan Dynasty?"

Xu Fusheng nodded and replied firmly: "Yes." ”

"If it's really what you say, then we'd like to support your change.

It's just that our support is probably not enough, and you have to persuade more people to participate. ”

Old Healai spoke earnestly.

The corners of Xu Fusheng's mouth pulled up a sneer, and he said quietly: "I think they will agree soon." ”

Lao Xilai left the southern Xinjiang money village with inner apprehension, and Xu Fusheng personally sent the old man out.

His goal was to hope that these people would cooperate, and as long as they cooperated with Xu Fusheng's actions, then he would be happy to provide services to these people.

Soon, Xu Fusheng's words spread throughout the entire business circle and underground forces in Hotan City.

This time it quickly split into two factions, and both the serious traders and the smugglers felt that it was not a solution.

The white gloves of the other major clans felt that Xu Fusheng was going to cut off their financial routes, and a few families were happy and a few were worried.

Xu Fusheng didn't give these people time to think about it, he just made a decision.

When he learned that all of Lankul's property had been seized and placed in the name of the Southern Xinjiang Bank, his butcher's knife was raised.

Lankur was charged with rebellion because he openly assassinated a horse in southern Xinjiang.

He and his family will be executed and beheaded outside Hotan City in three days' time.

The head will be hung at the city gate for three days as an example.

As soon as this news came out, everyone couldn't sit still, and no one expected this horse master to be so ruthless.

Not to mention confiscating Lankur's life income, but also killing his entire family, this is simply a bandit act.

But under this news, Nanjiang Qianzhuang has received a lot of people who have saved money recently.

A rough estimate is no less than 100,000 taels of silver.

In the city of Hotan, some small bills of exchange were quietly circulated.

Of course, this spark is not at all important under the general trend.

This trick made Xu Fusheng's name as a devil quickly spread in the circle of merchants, but there were still a few people who didn't care.

There is also a more powerful tribal power behind them, and the white glove maca of the Yi tribe has been operating in Hotan City for many years.

He thought that there was a big tribe of the Yi tribe in front of him, and this horse master did not dare to touch him.

Sitting in his mansion, quietly listening to the news of his subordinates coming back.

"I heard that the master of the horse has made a new move, requiring all merchants to go to the county guard office to obtain a business license, and the holder of the certificate can do business openly and honestly, and be protected by the Commercial and Financial Bureau. ”

Maca rubbed her brows and sighed, "What does this Xu Fusheng want to do, why don't you follow the rules at all."

How many people are going to get this business license?"

The subordinate replied: "At least half of the merchants in Hotan City have been frightened by the methods of this horse master, but the only ones who have not yet succumbed are us and the people of the Dong tribe.

Master Maca, if you want me to say, if you can't do it, you can cooperate with them, and they won't dare to mess with us.

Moreover, I have heard that anyone who has received a business certificate will have priority in obtaining the distribution share of goods when they exchange markets with the Shengyuan Dynasty in the future. ”

Maca was also a little moved when she heard this, but he knew his identity, and he couldn't decide such a big thing.

He quietly instructed: "You immediately rush back to Fengcheng now, report this matter to the patriarch, and wait for them to decide!"

No matter what, he doesn't dare to do anything to us at the moment, otherwise the Yi people will not be able to spare him first. ”
