After Wu Yue finished speaking, many businessmen below agreed, and seeing that he was affirmed by everyone, Wu Yue stopped slightly humbly, signaled to everyone, and then a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "After all, Ning Beibo is young and vigorous, and he has little thought about doing things, so he has done such a boiling act of public resentment." Hearing that scholars from all over Shanxi were indignant about the imminent introduction of commercial taxes, they would jointly send a message to Ningbei Bo and contact Confucianism in various parts of Shanxi. Collective strike~ class denunciation, in order to show their own tartlade! ”

Like a thunderclap, all the merchants present were excitedly talking to each other, and the scholars all took action, which is a good thing, and as members of their family, they should also express themselves.

Fan Yuhe sat in his seat, observing everyone's expressions, at this time he smiled and got up, arched his hand to Zhang Yongxiang, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, the younger generation has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Seeing that he was so polite, the businessmen hurriedly said: "Fan Da Shopkeeper, please speak, I will listen to you." ”

Fan Yuhe smiled and said: "The name of Ningbei Bo, the younger generation has also heard of it, and it is a good thing that he sits in Datong Town, suppresses bandits, and expells Tartars." The people praised, and everyone can buy and sell with peace of mind, it may be instigated by the villain, and Ning Beibo was also confused for a while, so he did such a thing that angered people and resented people! ”

He continued: "The full scholars have already acted, and we and other businessmen must not lag behind, for the sake of peace in all parts of Shanxi in the future, the younger generation proposes that all merchants collectively boycott ~ the city, in order to show our indignation and condemnation." Seeing the surging sentiment of the people, Ning Beibo will definitely wake up, and the shopkeepers will be able to operate with peace of mind in the future. ”

Everyone applauded, and they all said that the big shopkeeper Fan really became a strategy, and for them, the businessmen united ~ the city, which is a big killer.

At the beginning of the Yongle year, the imperial court had forbidden the minting of private money everywhere, but as a result, merchants everywhere united to strike ~ the city, resulting in the soaring of goods, and the imperial court had no choice but to scrap the ban.

Later, whenever the imperial court wanted to collect taxes from merchants, as long as the merchants stopped ~ the city, the imperial court was helpless.

At this time, although the industrial and commercial class of the Ming Dynasty was not as arrogant as it was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it had already shown an unruly situation, and all levels within the court were full of their interest spokespersons.

Especially in the border towns, more dependent on these merchants, after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty's "opening of the Chinese law", the government switched to using folded silver to recruit soldiers and pay military salaries.

Having silver does not mean that you can eat and drink, and you also need to buy a large amount of grain and forage. The transportation of grain and forage is monopolized by merchants everywhere, and if the merchants leave ~ the city, the lack of grain and grass in the armies will cause extremely great turmoil.

After the students boycotted the class, the businessmen boycotted ~ the city, after this huge momentum was created, it was determined that Liu Juntao would not be able to eat and walk around, regretting that he had the idea of collecting commercial taxes and investigating smuggling.

Zhang Yongxiang slowly stood up and said: "Okay, what the shopkeeper Fan said is very reasonable, I will choose a time to strike collectively~ The city, all merchants need to work together to tide over the difficulties." During this period, no one is allowed to operate privately, otherwise he will be severely punished by the guild. Look at it~ After listening to the voice of the people, Ningbei Bo can turn back to the shore, turn back to the shore! ”

"There is Ningbei Bo Town guarding Shanxi, and our merchants are still welcome, and their subordinates are fighting against the shoe captives, and the old decay is also admired......"

Not to mention how Zhang Yongxiang and others planned to strike ~ the city, how to implement it, at this time, there were bursts of angry voices in a academy in Datong Town: "The harm of commercial taxes and the harm of oppressing businessmen have been undoubtedly shown as early as the Yongle period.

"In the land of Shanxi, the land is poor and the people are poor, how can you undertake this record of knocking on the bones and absorbing the marrow? If this is the case, the business will be sparsely populated, the people's livelihood will wither, and the disaster of people's grievances will be in front of you! ”

The person who spoke was a young man dressed as a scholar, dressed in a Confucian shirt, wearing a square scarf, and looking quite handsome, this person was Wu Yuan, the son of Wu Jian, the prefect of Taiyuan.

I saw that he was graceful and unchanging, standing in the middle of a large group of scholars, speaking impassionedly and loudly, and suddenly he really looked like a leader of scholars.

Now Wu Yuan is very unsatisfactory, thanks to his father's blessing, he sought the position of an instructor in Confucianism in Datong Town, in fact, as a person, he can let go of a certain place to know the county. However, there is a real shortage of Daming now, and there are many officials, how can it be so easy to seek a real shortage?

As the prefect of Taiyuan, his father tried his best to let Wu Yuan wait patiently, but he was proud of his talents, and he didn't get along with his colleagues very happily in Confucianism, and everyone just looked at his father's face and was polite to him.

But in any case, Wu Yuan is the son of Wu Jian, the prefect of Taiyuan, and he is still very appealing among the scholars of Datong Town, and the same "crisis" has also brought them together recently.

In addition to the scholars, guides and students from all over the city, there were also scholars from other places in Shanxi, instructors and students from various city health schools, and there were almost hundreds of people.

There is also Zeng Shuxian, a scholar of Datong Zhencheng Academy, who was born as an old supervisor and has been in the academy for decades, which is considered "highly respected", even if the prefect of Datong saw him, he also had to respectfully call him "Zeng Weng".

His family worked hard to manage and save money, and finally bought a few dumps of fertile land, as well as more than a dozen related shops.

Zeng Jian treated himself harshly on weekdays, trying to save money as much as possible, although the family business accumulated more and more. But he was reluctant to be extravagant. A person like him is harsh on himself and his family, and he is even more reluctant to pay money outside, and when he heard that Liu Juntao, the uncle of Ningbei, was going to levy commercial taxes and strictly investigate smuggling at the border, he was immediately angry.

Wu Yuanyi proposed, right in his arms, with his fame, easily recruited scholars from all over Datong Town, jointly discussed countermeasures, after Wu Yuan was impassioned, he also sighed tremblingly: "In order to expedition to the desert, Emperor Yongle levied commercial taxes several times, and the old man has not forgotten the disaster of commercial taxes that year. Thousands of people carry the road, disasters flow all over the world, not trapped businessmen, but trapped people. The sage said that taking the wealth of the people is not the way of cattle wealth. The way to make money, to be born, to be thrifty, is only at both ends. The harm of the increase is not calculated by tax, but the harm of commercial tax is measured in days. The collection of commercial taxes is to seize the wealth of the people, this move is angry and resentful, and there is no day of light and darkness, and all parts of Shanxi will be destroyed and withered! ”

At this point, he coughed repeatedly.

Everyone present is also a word from you and me, and the words are all heartbroken, all the scholars and students present, which one has not opened a store? Merchants everywhere in Shanxi, which one is not a relative of their clan? If Liu Juntao wants to levy commercial taxes, he will take food from them and will never agree.

Of course, there are also many poor scholars among them, who have not opened any shops in their homes, and the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs under Liu Juntao have set up Tunpu and opened various industries in various parts of Shanxi, and they also intend to enter to find a position, and they think that Liu Juntao's collection of commercial taxes has nothing to do with them.

However, at this time, "the public is angry", how dare they speak for Liu Juntao? If this is the case, the evaluation of a Sven scum will definitely be inevitable, and they should not want to mix among the scholars in the future. Therefore, they made up their minds not to help each other, Wu Yuan proposed that the scholars of the entire Datong town and even a province in Shanxi should stop the class, and they could follow behind, and they would never be the first to come out.

Finally, everyone decided that Liu Juntao's move was a bad thing that was angry and unpopular, and that they, the scholars and scholars who had read the books of the sages and sages, and the pillars of the imperial court, needed to persuade Liu Juntao with practical actions to stop the class!

This will be a huge action, students boycott classes, businessmen boycott ~ the city, all walks of life have responded, all of them are united, to put pressure on Liu Juntao, the governor of Shanxi and Ningbeibo. In the end, he retracted his wrong move, woke up to his senses, and turned back. From this day on, there was a sudden storm in Shanxi, and from the morning, the shops in Datong Town began to close, and all trading stopped. The people in the city were frightened and panicked, and the price of rice had soared to 4,000 wen a bucket by the afternoon when all the shops were closed.

Under the infection of panic, the prices of various goods such as cloth salt and tea materials in Datong Town have also soared, and finally there is no market.

Soon, the trend of the city spread to Shuozhou, Shanyin County, Hunyuan Prefecture, Shouyang County, Taigu County, and even Taiyuan Fucheng, and it became a trend to buy in various places.

The cities were in a depression, and the people were panicked, not knowing what had happened. Not only that, but there were huge crowds of petitioners in the streets of the city. Stopped and invited all officials, cried to the prefects, generals and others of the cities, and demanded that the collection of commercial taxes by Liu Juntao, the Bo of Ningbei, be stopped, of course, the matter of smuggling, everyone did not dare to bring it up.

The streets and alleys everywhere were crowded with howling people, and all kinds of anonymous lists were posted everywhere. If an official passes through the streets, he is also attacked by the rubble thrown by the crowd.

On the same day, all academies in Datong town announced a strike, and thousands of students marched in front of the Yamen of the Shanxi governor to petition the governor of Shanxi to oppose the expropriation and extortion of Liu Juntao, the governor of Ningbei, and compete with the people for profit.

Wu Dirong, the governor of Shanxi, came out to speak to the students, claiming that he very much disagreed with the proposal of levying taxes proposed by Liu Juntao, Ning Beibo, and would definitely make a proposal to the imperial court to persuade Ning Beibo to give up such angry and resentful ideas.

In the face of the boycotts in various cities~ city strikes and petitions, the generals of all departments of the Tiance Army came forward to condemn such actions that disrupted the market and had no official government.

In particular, when Yan Hu, the general of the Yingyang Army, came forward to persuade the marching crowd, after being thrown stones, he was angry and bloody, and ordered his guards to open fire, and the two sides broke out into bloody clashes.

And the Shanyin County garrison Wang Yude tried to stop the crowd, but he was also treated by everyone throwing rubbles, his mouth and nose were bleeding, he did not have the courage of Yan Hu, and fled into the garrison mansion in a hurry to avoid trouble, and in embarrassment, even the official boots were discarded.

Individual traders in Dongchang Province in Shandong Province tried to close their shops and organize a procession, and were subsequently beaten from the streets to the end of the street by angry locals, and their shops were smashed.

Crowds of people shouted at these merchants: "Profiteers get out of Shandong, and if they dare to be an enemy of Ning Beibo, they are enemies of us." ”

"Your mother, if you want to do business in Shandong in the future, Lao Tzu has your surname!"

At this moment, hundreds of businessmen in Shandong have spoken out one after another, resolutely supporting Liu Juntao, the Bo of Ningbei, and will never do such a profiteer act that disrupts the market.
