At this time, the Kuixing Building was full of people.

These people were all merchants from Shanxi, Xuanfu, and Beizhili.

Yu You looked at the businessmen present, with a smile on his face, he took a sip of tea elegantly, and clapped his hands to signal everyone's attention.

"For many years, the border has never been secure, but now it is.

Now our general soldier, with his military merits, is already Zhenbei Bo.

Zhenbei Bo, in charge of Shanxi, Xuanfu, Jizhen, and Outer Mongolia.

Now Zhenbeibo has decided to kill Hupin, Xinpingbao, and Zhangjiabao to open the market. ”

After Yu You finished speaking, he began to drink tea again.

When the merchants in the hall heard this, they burst into discussions.

"Dare to ask President Yu, I heard that Zhenbeibo opened the market this time, which is really a big rebellion, I don't know if this rumor is true or false?"

Although rumors spread, but the desire for profit was consumed, these businessmen still took the risk to come to Datong Mansion to accept the invitation.

"Nonsense, Zhenbei Bo killed the leader of the thieves in Shaanxi, Wang Jiayin, the emperor Longyan Dayue, and gave Zhenbei Bo the right to open the market for business."

Yu You scolded angrily, and at the same time ordered two stunning women in cheongsam, burn incense, swing the shore, and kneel on the ground to ask for orders.

opened Chongzhen's holy decree.

Wang Zezhi remembered that Wang Chengen told him that these things, as long as he talked to Chongzhen, there would be no big problems.

After all, he also has the identity of a deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Chongzhen only issued such a holy decree to allow him to open the market.

As for the destruction of Zhaocheng, Hongdong, Fen, Huo, Shilou, Yonghe and other cities, Wang Zezhi was not blamed.

The merchants in the Kuixing Tower stretched their necks one by one and looked hard at the content of the holy decree.

However, the two girls just unfolded the holy decree, showed it, and put it away gracefully.

A holy decree whetted their appetite and relieved them at the same time.

"That's good, that's good."

"Yes, yes."

The invited merchants were all relieved when they saw the decree.

"Kill! Kill you, kill you! ”

As soon as the merchants breathed a sigh of relief, there was a local splash with a pig's head in his hand, looking like he was crazy, and he planned to rush into the Kuixing Tower to commit murder.

King Zezhi of Kuixinglou arranged for the guards to be guarded by firecrackers, which was originally used to prevent merchants from making trouble.

It turned out to be used to deal with the splash.

"Smack!"

A gunshot rang out, and the firecracker protecting Kuixing Tower broke Splash Skin's leg with a single shot.

"Ah!! My legs, my legs! ”

"Take it."

The sergeants stepped forward and smashed the troublesome splasher with the butts of their rifles and arrested him.

The merchant closest to him patted his chest nervously, he was only four or five meters away from him, and if the firecracker reacted slowly, he would suffer.

Splashing trouble, as a businessman on the rich side, everyone has encountered it.

Therefore, they didn't take it to heart, and continued to listen carefully to Yu You's talk about the rules of exiting.

"Only members of the Chamber of Commerce can get out of the customs?"

"This is good, all the people I will meet on the way out of the customs in the future will be members of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Eh, it sounds good to hear you say that."

When the merchants heard that only members of the Chamber of Commerce could leave the customs, their expressions flickered, and they only thought for a moment before they understood the benefits of doing so.

After doing this, all the members they will meet on the way out of the customs will be in the future.

In this way, there will be no hostile relations like before.

In other words, they will no longer guard against each other, but will unite and develop business outside the border.

"Hey, members can hire a dart master bodyguard at a discount of 20%, this is good, Jiangnan's shopkeeper Sun is worried about this matter, now it's okay, the Chamber of Commerce will solve his urgent need at once."

A businessman who was good friends with Sun's shopkeeper spoke loudly.

"Eh, not to mention Jiangnan, our Shanxi has not been peaceful since Pingyang Mansion.

President Yu didn't say that these dart masters are all soldiers who have fought in battle, and they are brave and good at fighting, so it will be much safer for us to do business in the future. ”

"That's not it, with the Mongolian cavalry as a dart master, we will be able to go further when we get out of the customs in the future."

One of the merchants heard Yu You say that the Chamber of Commerce not only had a Mongolian cavalry dart bureau outside the pass, but also a captured Jin cavalry as a dart master inside the pass.

These people have grown up on horseback, and they are the most adapted to the conditions outside the customs, and with their protection, they can indeed go further.

"In Xiafan Mansion, I heard President Yu say that there is control over the salt business when you go out of the customs, right?

This salt is all obtained by everyone's ability, why should Zhenbeibo restrict everyone? ”

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the shortage of grain at the border gates, the "Kaizhong Law - Salt Quotation Tokens" was implemented: salt merchants needed to send grain to the border gates, and then exchange the salt quotations in their hands from the hands of the various feudal officials.

Fan Steward, the steward of Fan Yongdou's family, they have salt in their hands, so they naturally have a lot of salt.

Wang Zezhi controlled the export of salt, tea, ironware, and grain, and in addition, firearms became forbidden.

Except for him, Wang Zezhi, no one can carry firearms out of the customs privately.

The salt pond salt works of the Ming Dynasty are mainly concentrated in the southern part of Shanxi, Sichuan, the northwest, and the coastal sea salt in Shandong.

Salt is a necessity for the people's lives.

Not to mention the herdsmen outside the Guan, even the people inside the Guanxi are inseparable from salt.

If people lack salt for a long time, their hair will turn gray, their bodies will be swollen, they will suffer from various incurable diseases, and even lose their lives.

If the soldiers are not replenished with salt, their physique will decline significantly, which will seriously weaken the combat effectiveness of the army.

Tea is also a necessity of life.

Whether it is the people of the Ming Dynasty or the herdsmen outside the Guan, drinking tea every day has become a habit.

As for items such as iron pots, kitchen knives, and grain, that's not to mention.

"Steward Fan, huh?" Yu You asked with a smile.

"That's right."

"It is rumored that Fan's Jia is in the border city and is known for his faithfulness, but this is the case." Yu You asked.

Steward Fan raised his head arrogantly and said, "That's nature. ”

"It is rumored that the Fan family relied on transporting military rations to the border passes, so as to exchange for salt, and then buy salt and sell it to Shanxi and outside the customs, so as to make countless profits and gradually make a fortune."

"That's right."

"It is rumored that the Fan family has infiltrated and bought the Xuanfu border army, and they can go out of Zhangjiabao freely."

"Huh?" Steward Fan's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Slander! Bloody mouth. ”

"It is rumored that Fan paid bribes to the border guards to turn a blind eye, and the salt guide said that you can sell 200 stone of salt, but you can sell 2,000 stone out.

Fan's trade routes expanded farther and farther, and in the end, all the salt of the Ming Dynasty was sold to the distant Houjin in order to make huge profits. ”

"Nonsense, President Yu should not make a mistake by himself, how can I, Fan, do such a big rebellious thing as betraying the country by the enemy?"

Steward Fan, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he said gloomily.

"Then Steward Fan thinks that Uncle Zhenbei will do it?" Yu You smiled faintly and said softly.

"Naturally not." Steward Fan said righteously.

"Hehe... Then may I ask Steward Fan, do you still have doubts about restricting the export of salt, tea, ironware, grain and other goods? Yu You's old god asked.

"I didn't have any doubts." Although it is said that the Fan family has indeed betrayed the enemy, they can't admit it.
