In addition to the People's Army, businessmen were the first to guess that the war was about to break out, especially the big businessmen who did cross-border glass business.

In Liang Fuzhong, Liang Xin, Jiang Ci, and Xia Jingshan happened to talk about the war.

"The war may break out, there are more and more Ming troops gathered in Huguang, and more and more people's troops are gathering in the border areas. Liang Xin said with emotion.

Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan could feel that their old friends were lamenting two things, one was lamenting the war, and the other was lamenting the glass business, and they also had similar feelings in their hearts.

Three years ago, when the People's Army attacked the city of Guangzhou, Liang Xin, Jiang Ci, and Xia Jingshan took the initiative to "surrender to the enemy" and made great contributions in the process of the People's Army's capture of the city of Guangzhou.

After the People's Army captured most of Guangdong, the Ming court launched a large army to fight three major battles with the People's Army, and Liang Xin, Jiang Ci, and Xia Jingshan were terrified of the war, fearing that the People's Army would be defeated and the three of them who "defected to the enemy" would be killed by the Ming Army.

Unexpectedly, the People's Army easily won the victory of the three major wars, and forced the Ming court to sign an armistice agreement, Liang Xin, Jiang Ci, and Xia Jingshan have realized the strength of the People's Army, even if they know that the Ming Army has more troops, and the three have more confidence in the final victory of the People's Army.

Under the rule of the People's Army, the industry under the names of the three people started to operate again, thanks to the fact that a large number of businessmen were raided by the People's Army, the market was vacant, and the industry of the three people developed rapidly, and the speed of making money may not be as fast as before, but the People's Army divided the land among all the people, and the three of them were able to guess that the speed of making money would be accelerated in the future.

What really surprised the three of them was the development of the glass business, the factory of the People's Army was able to produce glass mirrors worth thousands of gold, and even allowed merchants to sell glass mirrors to the Ming Dynasty.

The glass business has only been going on for a year, and Liang Xin, Jiang Ci, and Xia Jingshan have all made a lot of money, especially Liang Xin, who controls the trade routes, and he has earned more than 100,000 yuan in the glass business, and he has also earned tens of thousands of yuan in equal coins by lending the trade routes to other merchants.

Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan tried to open up the trade route many times, but they were unsuccessful, and they kept borrowing Liang Xin's trade route, and the money they earned together was close to 100,000 yuan in equal currency.

Basically, Liang Xin, Jiang Ci, and Xia Jingshan have become one of the ten businessmen with the most wealth in the People's Army-ruled area, and even Liang Xin may enter the top three.

This glass business is too profitable, making money is soft, every time the income comes in, Liang Xin can't calm down, he has lived under the rule of the People's Army for a long time, Liang Xin understands the rules of the People's Army, Liang Xin believes that the People's Army will not break the rules he has formulated at will, and he is more worried about General Lin and those who only have interests left.

After a little sigh, Jiang Cicai said: "We have made a lot of money in this glass business, although we still want to continue to make money, but this is impossible, Daming and the People's Army can only survive one, after the armistice, both sides are preparing for the next war, the next war will inevitably be more tragic than the previous war, I hope the People's Army wins this war." ”

"The tiger head gun is not an ordinary sharpness, the People's Army relies on the tiger head gun to defeat the Ming army, after such a long time, the People's Army has gathered so many craftsmen, I don't know how many tiger head guns have been created, no matter how many troops the Ming Army has, it will not be the opponent of the People's Army." Xia Jingshan also said.

As a big businessman under the rule of the People's Army, the industry is all over the place, and they know some things, but they will not leak the matter to the Ming Court, even if this matter is not important to the People's Army, once the People's Army learns that they leaked the news, they will not face the extermination of their families.

Liang Xin's eyes rolled, and he thought of an interesting thing, he said: "The glass mirror is sold so cheaply here, and the price has increased dozens of times over there, I really want to see the People's Army occupy those places and sell low-priced glass mirrors, what will be the expressions of those people (who have already bought high-priced glass mirrors)." ”

"I guess they're going to throw the glass mirror on the ground in anger and call us profiteers." Xiajiang Mountain Road.

"No, I don't think they may have that chance, and I don't know how much they will survive when the People's Army fights over."

Jiang Ci's words made Liang Xin and Xia Jingshan silent a little.

Liang Xin said: "After this glass business, I am afraid that I will not encounter such a profitable business again, while the war has not yet broken out, I plan to sell more glass in the past." ”

Jiang Ci and Xia Jingshan both nodded in agreement, and the two of them planned to do the same.

"This glass business will not make money in the future, but I feel that there will be other businesses that can make money in the future, such as the cement, the cement produced by the cement plant has been purchased by the People's Army, we make less money, but this cement is really useful, and when we expand the scale of the cement plant and sell the cement to others, we will make more money at that time." Jiang Ci talked about the cement business.

The cement business and the glass business were brought by the People's Army, and if the People's Army did it themselves, these businessmen would not have the opportunity to make money, and it was also because of this incident that the businessmen had a much better impression of the People's Army, and only when the People's Army collected taxes, it would be very heart-wrenching.

The commercial tax of the People's Army is very high, so high that all the merchants under the rule of the People's Army feel like cutting meat every time they pay taxes, but no one dares not to pay taxes or pay less taxes.

In the first year of the People's Army's occupation of Guangdong, there were many businessmen who tried to evade taxes because of the heavy commercial taxes of the People's Army, and the vast majority of them were discovered by the People's Army.

As time went on, the merchants also discovered that the KPA's commercial tax was high, but there were other benefits, at least the KPA officials would not eat and take cards, so that for ordinary merchants, they paid more money under the Ming Dynasty than under the KPA.

However, every time the commercial tax is paid, the businessmen are still in pain, especially Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin and others who do cross-border glass business, and 20% of the income must be handed over to the People's Army, so that they can get 30% of the income.

Of course, even if only 30% is left, it is a big profit for the merchants.
