Wang Xian's experience
After arranging the Yehe tribesmen, Wang Zezhi called Wang Shan and asked him to arrange for someone to collect the silver and goods that Wang Xian brought back.
When Wang Shan heard that his eldest brother was back, he was so happy that he didn't even bother to put on his shoes and ran over.
The brothers chatted happily for a long time without seeing each other, and forgot all the things that Wang Zezhi had confessed.
It wasn't until Wang Xian saw the convoy standing at the city gate that he remembered that the goods brought by the convoy had not yet been arranged.
Wang first twisted Wang Shan's ears and told him to arrange it quickly, and Wang Shan smiled and asked someone to arrange it.
After Wang Shan arranged all the people in his hand, the convoy was brought to Datong Mansion in an orderly manner, and the silver and goods on the car were placed.
When he finished doing this, Wang Zezhi had already ordered someone to set up a feast in Kuixing Tower, and he called the two brothers together and walked towards Kuixing Tower.
Wang Zezhi wants to wash the dust for Wang first.
was able to earn back more than 10 million taels of silver, which greatly surprised Wang Xian.
Wang Xian thought that it would be good if he could earn a million taels.
Wang Xian didn't know about Houjin's situation, but Wang Zezhi knew.
In order to show the authority of the Celestial Empire, the Ming Dynasty forced the Jurchen tribes to pay tribute.
The Ming Dynasty tested the loyalty of the Jurchen tribes through tribute.
In the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of face engineering, in the tributary trade, the value of the reward to the Jurchen tribe was far greater than that of the tribute.
The Jurchen tribes took a fancy to the oil and water in it, and came to pay tribute every once in a while.
Nominally, it is a tribute, but in fact, it is eaten and drunk in vain in the Ming Dynasty along the road, and a large amount of real money can be earned back through tribute.
In the name of tribute, thousands of Jurchens went to the Ming Dynasty every year to fight the autumn wind, and the silver in the Ming Dynasty flowed out.
Originally, it was stipulated that tribute should be paid once a year or once a few years, and the Jurchen tribes came to pay tribute dozens of times a year for the sake of silver, and the Ming Dynasty let it go for the sake of face and stability.
After years of accumulation, the Jurchens have become rich.
By the time of Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could no longer stand it.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to restrict the Jurchen tribe from constantly sucking blood, and the edict became a tribute and a horse market voucher, and those who did not have an edict were not accepted and could not enter the country.
The number of tributes is less, and the number of tributes is limited.
The edict instantly became the treasure of the Jurchen tribes, and those who had many edicts could go home with the silver on their backs through tribute, and they could also make huge profits in the horse market.
Those who don't have an edict live a hard life, and the people below keep fleeing to other tribes.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty discovered the power of the edict, so it deliberately suppressed some of them and supported some of them through the number of edicts.
The Jurchen tribes advocate force, and they can't afford to provoke the Ming Dynasty, so it's no problem to rob other tribes.
Whoever has more edicts will be stronger, and whoever will be the leader of the Jurchens.
Wanting to develop and grab the edict, the Jurchen tribe fought for the edict around the edict and fought for nearly a hundred years.
In the end, Nurhachi, the most powerful Jurchen tribe, was raised.
The Haixi Jurchens were very strong at the beginning, because the Ming Dynasty gave many edicts.
The Yehenara clan and Aixin Jueluo had a feud because they robbed the book.
Nurhachi's grandfather and father were mistakenly killed by the Ming army, and the Ming Dynasty compensated thirty edicts, and Nurhachi was grateful to Dade, which shows that the edicts are more popular.
The edict represents the trade qualification with the Ming Dynasty and the wealth of drought and flood protection.
Nurhachi started with thirty edicts, through mergers and acquisitions, and then hundreds of edicts, and finally thousands of edicts, all the edicts of the Jurchen tribe were in his hands, and Nurhachi monopolized the Jurchen trade with the Ming Dynasty.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was a situation where silver was expensive and cheap, that is, things were cheap and silver was valuable. Just love
As a result, silver from the Netherlands, Spain, and Japan flowed into the Ming Dynasty through smuggling trade.
Silver also flowed into the hands of the chiefs of the Jurchen tribes in the northeast through tributary trade and horse market trade.
As a result, the Ming Dynasty did not gain much benefit from overseas trade silver, and most of this silver flowed into the northeast, nourishing Nurhachi to grow stronger and stronger.
This also caused the leaders of the various tribes of the Later Jin to become richer and richer.
At first, when the king came to kill the tiger, he found that the war outside the fortress was endless, and the road to Guihua City had been cut off.
So he opened the No. 1 bag given to him by Wang Zezhi, which told him that if there was a war outside the country, he would take a detour directly to the Jin country, and then open the No. 2 bag after arriving in the territory of the Jin country.
As early as the end of the Ming Dynasty, some Shanxi merchants used Zhangjiakou as a base to travel back and forth between inside and outside the Guan, engaged in trade activities, transported materials to the Later Jin regime, and even transmitted documents and information.
In the third year of the Mandate of Heaven, there were 16 traders from Shandong, Shanxi, Hedong, Hexi, Suzhou and Hangzhou in Fushun.
The trade activities of Shanxi merchants inside and outside the customs gave great support to the Later Jin regime in terms of materials, and the Later Jin regime also gave courtesy and attention to Shanxi merchants.
If there is a war outside Datong Pass, then go to Jinguo, and you will definitely get something.
Wang first followed Wang Zezhi's advice, and took a cart of briquettes and an iron stove to the territory of the Jin Kingdom.
Wang Xian led the convoy to detour outside Datong, Xuanfu, and Jingshi, and traveled more than 1,000 miles eastward by passing through the Mongolian tribes, and it took more than half a month to finally reach the territory of the Jin State.
During this period, there were many encounters with the soldiers and horses of the Outer Mongolian tribes, and to Wang Xian's surprise, whether it was Chahar Mongolia or Duoyan Mongolia, they heard that the car dealer was going to Houjin to do business, and they let it go without saying a word.
What Wang Xian didn't know was that most of these Mongolian tribes at this moment had been conquered by Huang Taiji.
Even if they were not conquered by him, they were all scared by him, so no one would plunder the convoys that went to the Kingdom of Jin to do business.
When Wang Xian and his party arrived at the territory of the Jin Kingdom, they encountered the patrolling cavalry of the Horqin Division.
The king first told them according to Wang Zezhi's instructions that they had come to do business and trade.
They brought briquettes and ironware.
The cavalry examined their iron furnaces, and after confirming that they were iron tools, they actually protected them and headed towards Shengjing of the Jin Kingdom.
Shengjing, now Shenyang, Liaoning, in 1625 AD, the Qing Dynasty Taizu Nurhachi moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang Zhongwei, and began to build the imperial palace in Shenyang, Shenyang from a military guard, leapt to Shengjing Imperial City, and gradually developed into the central city of Northeast China.
After Wang Xian arrived in Shengjing, he was shocked by the prosperity of Shengjing.
At this moment, the prosperity of Shengjing is not inferior to the capital at all.
After Wang Xian was shocked, he was escorted by the Korqin cavalry to the trading place, arranged a special accommodation, and then put them under surveillance.
In this case, Wang first opened the No. 2 bag given to him by Wang Zezhi.
No. 2 told him that if he entered the Kingdom of Jin, he would definitely be strictly guarded.
At this time, he wanted to buy a shop, not a pyramid scheme, but just a serious business, mainly selling iron stoves, supplemented by briquettes.
In this way, Wang Xian was able to rely on the cover of iron weapons to save his life.
Sure enough, when Wang first bought a shop and specialized in selling iron stoves, the golden soldiers who guarded him slowly withdrew.
After the soldiers were withdrawn, he began to move according to the requirements of the second bag.
He first broke the people he brought into pieces and sent them out of Shengjing City.
Then, he began to spend a lot of money to make friends with various merchants in Shengjing City.
At the same time, he also secretly investigated where there were many Han people in Shengjing City.
In the beginning, business in the iron stove shop was not very good.
Because everyone in Shengjing has a fire kang, there are very few people who use iron stoves.
Only a few curious people will come in and take a look, but it's just curiosity, and very few people actually buy it.
