The merchants in the capital flocked, and after the merchants in other places got the news, they also rushed directly to the northwest.

The most important thing is the Jin merchants in the northwest, which is news that makes them ecstatic.

Jin merchants have always been a huge group, and Shanxi's commercial capital has a long history.

As early as the pre-Qin era, Jinnan began to have a commercial transaction activity of "Japan and China as the market, to the people of the world, praise the goods of the world, trade and retreat, and each has its own place".

The rise of Jin merchants in the Ming Dynasty was first of all the implementation of the Ming Dynasty's "open the middle system" policy, which provided an opportunity for the development of Jin merchants.

Shen Sixiao's description in "Jin Lu" is widely cited by researchers: "Pingyang, Ze, Lu, wealthy businessmen and big families are the best in the world, and they are not rich if they are not hundreds of thousands." ”

There was a popular saying in Beijing: "Beijing Normal University Jia counts Jin people".

After Zhu Houzhao slashed at Yanzheng, both Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Jin merchants were actually damaged to varying degrees.

However, because of the existence of geographical advantages, the life of Huizhou merchants and Zhejiang merchants is better. In addition to the salt administration, Zhejiang also has silk trade and smuggling trade; The same goes for Hui merchants.

In addition to these two Jin merchants, at this time began to decline, in the past few years, watching the strange Zhai make a lot of money, how can the Jin merchants not be envious, jealous and hateful?

After the matter of Liaodong came out this time, Jin Shang realized that the opportunity had come. In the eyes of Jin Shang, Liaodong is a group of old hats, what do they know?

Relying on the policy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the identity of Liaodong, he sold the wool in all directions, and even sold it to North Korea and Dafa Li City, can this be endured?

Jin merchants and Jin merchants have been connecting in tandem these days, and the meaning of their tandem is very simple, that is, the northwest also wants to sell grassland, and they want to buy grassland outside Guyuan City.

Although the Hetao Plain cannot be cultivated, grazing is no problem, and another key point is the technology of wool weaving.

Now it's just on the Liaodong side, while they sent people to Liaodong to get technology, they asked the imperial court, if this was supported by the imperial court, wouldn't it be a big fat city?

As a result, as soon as they took action, news came from the imperial court that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty would go to the northwest, not only to build a city in Fengzhou Beach, but even to create a woolen textile factory in the northwest, and at the same time open up the Silk Road.

In such a situation, Jin Shang is naturally happy, in their opinion, this is a big opportunity for their own people!

For a while, the whole capital was boiling, which felt like the construction of Xiong'an New Area in later generations, and countless people poured in as soon as the news came out.

Of course, later generations were speculating in real estate, and the Jin merchants of this era really wanted to do business, especially the business at the doorstep.

Forbidden City, Xianyang Palace.

Zhu Hou looked at He Jian who was standing in front of him, with a smile on his face: "He Aiqing won't blame the palace, right?" ”

If you want to go to the northwest, your subordinates will naturally have capable cadres, in addition to Tang Bohu who has been trained by himself, He Jian and Zhu Houzhao will also take it.

This person is a talent, who has worked tirelessly to travel all over Jingxiang and find out the current situation of the displaced people, which shows that he is down-to-earth and hardworking, not perfunctory; dared to poke this matter out, which shows that he is not afraid of power and dares to tell the truth.

Such a good official, it is natural to get his own subordinates, and Zhu Houzhao directly started it. Of course, the official position is not low, after all, he is now a servant of the Criminal Department.

The official position that Zhu Houzhao gave to He Jianyao was the governor of the three sides, the governor of the military affairs of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui, and Ningxia, and the governor of Hexi, Hedong, and Shaanxi, as well as the nine general troops of Gan, Liang, Su, Xi, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan. It can be said that the power is very large, and this can be regarded as a step forward for He Jian.

He Jian didn't expect that he would be reused by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so quickly, and he was naturally happy in his heart, which showed that he had completed the most important step in his career.

Now who doesn't know that the ministers under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a bright future?

The first one is Wang Shouren, what is the status of this person now? In charge of the Daming Martial Academy, commanding the Beijing Black Dragon Army, after several major battles, this has faintly had the posture of the first person in the Ming military.

In addition to Wang Shouren, there was also Yang Yiqing, the governor of Liaodong. In the past, everyone didn't know why Yang Yiqing was valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, but now the news has already spread.

Yang Yiqing herded horses in the northwest and revitalized the horse farms in the northwest at a very small cost, providing 12,000 war horses for the imperial court every year.

Yang Yiqing's exploit was favored by the prince at a glance, and he was directly transferred to his side, transferred from the governor of Shaanxi to the governor of Liaodong for half a year, and then was promoted to the governor of Liaodong.

Once the matter in Liaodong is over, Yang Yiqing will inevitably enter Beijing, at least six books, it can be said that Yang Yiqing has completed a gorgeous turn in his career.

Now it's finally him, with the matter of Jingxiang refugees, he is valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he directly sits in the position of the trilateral general system. He can be regarded as having completed the gorgeous turn of officialdom, Yang Yiqing is his goal, and after completing the reform in the northwest, he can launch an attack on the six Shangshu.

In such a situation, how can He Jian not be happy? That's what you're supposed to do!

Thinking of this, He Jian hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xie has promoted." ”

Zhu Hou glanced at He Jian and suddenly smiled. This He Jian is really not an official who can pat himself on the back, look at his expression when he says thank you.

Zhu Houzhao felt that he would never laugh at the minister, unless he couldn't help it. He hurriedly waved his hand: "It's bitter cold in the northwest, let Aiqing leave the center and go to the northwest, Aiqing doesn't blame the palace." ”

These few words just covered up Zhu Houzhao's smile.

"To be loyal to the country and contribute to the people, one should not choose a place. The bitter cold in the northwest is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers are afraid today, and he will be afraid tomorrow; Today's ministers linger in the prosperity of the capital, and tomorrow there will be people lingering in the prosperity of the capital, so what should I do in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty? The minister is willing to go to the northwest to defend the country, contribute to the people, and make contributions for himself. ”

He Jian continued to say with a serious face: "Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has go, and the ministers have also gotten. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the northwest, the ministers are not afraid of the bitter cold. ”

Zhu Hou looked at He Jian, the smile on his face had already retracted, nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to help He Jian up, and then said: "Then let our monarchs and ministers do a big job in the northwest, let everyone look sideways, and let Aiqing be famous in history." ”

"The minister should do his best, and he will die." He Jian picked up his robe very seriously and knelt on the ground.

Zhu Houzhao knew that this was He Jian showing his heart, such a statement was worse than a curse and an oath, and it was a promise that could be fulfilled with his life.
