There was almost no rain in the second year of Chongzhen, and the same is true here in Houjin, Liaodong.

The grain that Wang Xian escorted over to sell can be said to have solved Shengjing's urgent need.

It is precisely because of this that Amin Belle still has a good impression of Wang Xian.

After receiving the iron stove, Amin Bel ordered some of the booty to be brought over.

These spoils of war were obtained by him from his expedition to the east and west, and to fight in all directions.

He asked Wang Xian to take these booty to the Central Plains and sell them, and 20% of the proceeds from the sale belonged to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian was overjoyed and praised Amin Belle for his gratitude.

Amin Belle was very satisfied with Wang Xian's performance, and he told Wang Xian that if he did this well, he would be eligible for a dragon ticket next time.

The Ming Dynasty government explicitly forbade commercial transactions with the Kanwai Jinren.

At that time, doing business with Houjin was risking your life, but the greater the risk, the more profitable it was.

There were always merchants who were not afraid of hardship or death and disregarded the ban and trekked through mountains and rivers to trade with the Qing army, providing various living and military supplies for the Houjin and the common people.

Nurhachi set his sights on these merchants, and he extended a helping hand to the merchants who often traded between the Central Plains and the Houjin, asking for a huge loan of money, and the merchants who borrowed from him would receive a huge amount of interest.

Nurhachi issued a loan note stamped with a dragon seal to the merchant who borrowed the money as evidence, which is the origin of the "dragon ticket".

In the Huang Taiji period, Huang Taiji increased trade in order to stimulate merchants.

The trade management rights of Liaodong were all given to the merchants who held the dragon ticket, and the merchants who owned the dragon ticket would not only receive a huge amount of interest, but they could also trade in the whole territory of Houjin.

Moreover, merchants who hold dragon tickets will receive the support of all tribes in Houjin.

Wherever they went, they were guarded by cavalry and protected their trade.

In addition, merchants who hold dragon tickets can purchase materials in Houjin and trade at a price lower than 20% of the market price.

This is something that other businessmen don't have.

For the dragon ticket system of Huang Taiji, not to mention Wang Xian, Wang Zezhi is a little tempted.

If Wang Zezhi didn't know, Huang Taiji did this in order to attract merchants to do business, use their reserves of military strategic materials, and develop some of them as spies, so as to spy on the military and economic intelligence of the Ming Dynasty and understand and master every move of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Zezhidu wants to go to Houjin to make a fortune.

"My lord, there is also bad news, Huang Taiji suddenly stole items in the palace, captured the Han thieves, and imprisoned all the Han slaves in Shengjing City.

I'm afraid that the inside line of our last development is more auspicious and less auspicious. ”

Wang Xian said with some concern.

Nurhachi was a good use of spies, and so was Huang Taiji.

Wang Zezhi guessed that Wang Xian's downline was likely to be betrayed by the same kind.

In addition to this, this sends a very dangerous signal.

Huang Taiji is clearing his worries, and he is about to act.

The change of self.

Wang Zezhi's face changed, and he immediately gave an order.

"Come on, I ordered President Yu to settle the merchants in the Kuixing Building.

Inform President Yu and ask him to call the merchants of the Datong Chamber of Commerce to do business with the merchants from Jiangnan.

At the same time, President Yu was ordered to cooperate with Wang Shan to organize the establishment of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Anyone who joins the Chamber of Commerce can go out of the customs to do business, and those who are unwilling to join the Chamber of Commerce are not allowed to go out of the customs.

Wang first sold the booty brought back from Liaodong to the merchants in Jiangnan.

Someone, take Governor Song to the top floor of Kuixing Tower, and tell him that I will be there later.

I'm in a bit of a hurry to deal with it immediately, and I don't have time to go to drink with you, so you can do it quickly. ”

"Hey, what about me? What about my Shanxi oily meat? The Cowherd raised his arms and shook them.

"Just go eat, someone will arrange a seat for you."

"Oh, good, good." Hearing this, the Cowherd turned around and ran towards Kuixing Tower.

After Wang Zezhi finished speaking, he ran briskly towards the General Military Department without looking back, and Luo Cong followed.

The two brothers, Wang Xian and Wang Shan, who had just come back, looked at each other, they blinked at the same time, and went to do something.

These two people are both clever people, and they knew after a little thought that Wang Zezhi had to do something immediately, otherwise he would not have run away regardless of it.

Yu You has already done this kind of thing, and he is very experienced.

With his assistance, Wang Shan only took one hour to set up the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce was established.

Wang Shan came to Kuixing Tower and began to talk.

Wang Xian stood on the side, his eyes flickering, and his nose was a little sour.

The person recommended by his brother has become the president, and his brother has also become the president, why is he still an empty title.

He risked his life to go to the Jin Kingdom several times, going back and forth, without merit and hard work, not to mention that he had merit, he couldn't understand why Wang Zezhi didn't arrange a president for him.

After thinking about it, it was his younger brother who became the chairman of Jiangnan, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

That sour feeling is much better.

"You don't know, this is my brother, he is the president of the Zhenbei Chamber of Commerce, and he is clear about the business outside the border gate.

If you want to do business outside the country, you must ask for advice or two. ”

Zhenbei Chamber of Commerce was thought about by Wang Zezhi a long time ago, and he talked to Wang Shan, so Wang Shan knew about it.

Wang Xian didn't know what was going on, but he was still very grateful to his brother for being able to support him on such an occasion.

Wang Shan led Wang Xian to introduce the businessmen present.

When the merchants heard this, they got up one by one and saluted Wang Xian.

Seeing this, Wang Xian returned the salute with a smile.

"Dare to hear this president, what is the good business of going to Cyprus to do business abroad?"

A merchant in the crowd asked curiously.

Wang Xian smiled and did not speak, but raised his hand to signal his subordinates to carry things up.

"Millennial ginseng from eastern Liaoning." A thousand-year-old ginseng in a red satin treasure box.

"Centennial Goryeo ginseng from North Korea." This team doesn't look so good, but it's not bad.

"Korean gemstones from North Korea." A beautiful small box filled with gemstones such as rubella, topaz, amethyst, white crystal, etc.

"The water of beauty comes out of the Yan, and the west flows into the sea, in which there is a lot of amber (amber), and there is no disease in it."

"The golden waves are rippling, the wealth and wealth are stones, you say a price." A wealthy businessman took a fancy to the piece of amber and stood up and shouted the price.

"The one with the highest price wins." Wang Xian smiled slightly and said no more.

The value of amber in the Ming Dynasty was comparable to gold and silver, both in the West and in China, amber was a treasure that only the royal family and nobles could have, and some countries also used amber as a coin or sacrificial item to exchange goods, and even used to make royal jewelry and temple utensils.

Like this kind of water purification superlative, you can find but not seek.

"I'll give you ten taels of gold." Ten taels of gold is one hundred taels of silver, which is a very high price.

"You raise your noble hands to give a certain face, I didn't sell this amber, but bought it for my mother, who is old and frail, and needs this thing to suppress the disease." The merchant arched his hand and motioned for everyone not to raise the price.

Most of the merchants said they understood, and there was no offer, although there were exceptions.

For example, he wants to come to his rival and the shopkeeper Li who does a mule and horse business.

"I'll give you twenty taels of gold." Shopkeeper Li quoted a price, and the corner of his mouth smiled disdainfully.

Others don't know, he doesn't know yet, his nemesis Zhao's shopkeeper's mother has been dead for more than a year.

If it weren't for everyone's face, he wouldn't mind making a fool of himself by saying it in public.

However, although they are against each other, it is not yet time to tear their faces, which is why he does not say it.

He felt that this guy must have bought amber to sell.

"You... Okay, okay, I'll give forty taels. "Shopkeeper Zhao saw that the quotation was Shopkeeper Li, and it was not good to have a seizure, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to increase the price.

"Then I'll give forty-one taels."

"I'll give fifty taels."

"I'm fifty-one taels."

"One hundred taels, one hundred taels of gold, you have a kind of more." Shopkeeper Zhao slapped the table and stared at Shopkeeper Li viciously.

Shopkeeper Li's eyes rolled, and he knew that he couldn't follow anymore.

If he followed, and Shopkeeper Zhao didn't follow, he would lose a lot of money, and he didn't need that piece of amber, so there was no need to die.

"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Zhao, I am happy to get the treasure."

"Okay, come here, send it to the shopkeeper Zhao, and deliver the goods with one hand and pay the silver." Although Shopkeeper Zhao spent a hundred taels of gold, he did not regret it at all, and was even very happy.

No one knew that he was a collector of amber.

I like it to the point of obsession.

The merchants began to whisper, they didn't expect that there were so many good things outside the gate, and any piece of amber could be sold for a hundred taels of gold.
