Chapter 247: The Tatars do not need evidence
The Dyer Fan family was indeed secretly cooperating with the Great Song merchants who were mining Yanchang oil...... Not only that, but they also joined forces to mine coal and grow cotton, as well as dryland crops such as peanuts and potatoes.
The so-called Great Song merchants actually had a huge backer behind them...... Lü's military group.
The Styer Fan family is not stupid, they have arranged for a number of people to help them run the ...... The Tatars are inherently bad at math, and it is worse to let them fiddle with numbers than to kill them.
Over the years, a market spontaneously sprang up in the eastern part of the Yanchang region, near the banks of the Yellow River.
There, merchants from unknown places brought their goods with caravans of horses and camels, and even sloops from the Yellow River.
No one thought of building warehouses and shops there, and often after a transaction was completed, the merchants scattered, leaving behind horse or camel manure and some lonely stakes.
The main trades between them were cotton cloth, kerosene, salt, grain, hides, large and small livestock, and various daily necessities.
Among them, cotton cloth and kerosene are big items.
Needless to say, cotton cloth and kerosene had a great effect on the Tatars.
The Tatars found that the kerosene gas lamps hung in tents, in addition to lighting, also had a heating effect in winter!
The heat from a kerosene gas lamp is not much worse than that of a fire...... And that kerosene stove is far better than some dry cow dung!
There are people who collect taxes in such an inconspicuous place...... Far away in the Hetao, the Dyermi family sent 300 cavalrymen, who also used the Semu to collect the transaction tax, and they levied the tax at a rate of 3 percent according to the total volume of goods between the buyer and the seller...... Of course, the cavalry had to maintain order and security there.
Those cavalrymen really caught robbers and thieves, and at first they were directly dragged to death, and later they were all sold to the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty who opened coal mines.
The income of the Style family in the Yanchang area is much more than that.
Only people within the clan knew that they had privately signed many agreements of cooperation with the Lu military group.
Coal mines, oil wells, and cotton fields alone are basically divided into 37, 28, and 46.
After a few years, the elders of the Style Fan family were pleasantly surprised to find that their family had accumulated several times more wealth than they had grabbed with generations of Great Khans!
This is achieved under the premise that the main members of their family are all living in luxury!!
Hey, hey, it turns out that doing business is more profitable than robbing...... And it also saves trouble and effort, no one will die in battle.
If this continues, in another ten or eight years, the population and wealth of the Style Fan family will grow even more...... But the good days were ended by a small reporter from the Liuqiu Times, thousands of miles away.
They don't know when the so-called reporter got into the Yanchang area, and it is said that he has also been to the Hetao area!
There's really no way to prevent others from prying eyes...... The Sidel Fan family tasted the sweetness of commerce, and they also allowed merchants to do business in the Hetao area, and some small merchants, they were not rare to be taxed.
There are many dealers of the Great Song Dynasty and their associates, and who knows which one the reporter can disguise himself as.
The business of the Style fan family is also quite a bit in the capital, and of course, it is also represented by the Semu people.
The elders of their family are not stupid and will not enjoy the huge profits themselves...... Some important powerful figures in the Tatar aristocratic circle, they all made friends with their hearts, and they also sent a large amount of supplies every holiday.
Therefore, their family has a very good reputation in the Tatar aristocratic circles, and they can also know some situations and changes in most of the capitals in time.
News of the anger of the great leader Kublai Khan soon reached the ears of the elders.
The elders of the Styling Fan clan immediately called an emergency meeting, they were all well versed in the Tatar style of doing things, and knew that this matter would not be over.
While they were arguing fiercely, the patriarch of the Waiter Fan family got a report that the Lu family had sent someone.
The patriarch immediately met him alone again.
It turned out that the head of the Lü military group, Jinghu Zhizhi, had made Lü Wenchuan see the report far faster than the big boss Kublai Khan, and he was furious at that time and tore the "Liuqiu Times" to shreds.
"Liuqiu Times", nonsense!
How can Zhang Anguo harm me!!
He just wanted to scold that Zhang Anguo for harming him, but he suddenly remembered that the "Liuqiu Times" had already been resold through the method of listing, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Anguo.
Oh!
At that time, some people also suggested to him that he could manipulate his speech by buying a batch of shares...... It's a pity that he only cares about the machining and mining industries, and doesn't care about the newspaper industry, which he doesn't quite understand.
If he had invested in a large stock back then, where would any reporter dare to make irresponsible remarks about the Lu family? !
However, he heard that there seemed to be a turmoil in Xinbianjing City, and no one seemed to care about the speculation about the Lu family in the newspaper...... Others say that the merchants there are just some bandits.
This is a blessing in disguise...... However, after discussion between him and his staff, everyone agreed that the object of their cooperation, the Styer fan family, might not be as lucky as themselves.
Kublai Khan, the big leader, would not let them go, if other Tatar noble families flocked to them...... The Lu family's business in the Yanchang area is all in vain!
Although I have earned back a few back and forth costs in recent years, I am really unwilling in my heart.
A good business is about to be ruined by the Tatars who are ten miles away from the wind and smell...... He decided to fight again and couldn't wait for death, so he sent someone to find the patriarch of the Stander Fan family.
Lu Wenchuan said to the person who sent him: "If the Waiter Fan family has a way to keep the extended area, you can accept what we need to do!" ”
The man was a guy who knew what was important, so he hurriedly packed up and rushed to the Hetao area with a small servant.
Nowadays, the traffic between the Xiangfan area and the Hetao area is very smooth, and the simple roads and simple ferries have connected the two sides.
Business development has always been the opposite of transportation development.
Caravans could often be seen on this trade route, which had never existed in history, and a complete system had been formed, whether it was a horse-drawn carriage or a ferry, whether it was a means of transportation or transporting people.
Of course, it's all rudimentary equipment.
The people sent by the Lu family worked tirelessly, slept in the open air, and quickly rushed to the Hetao area to personally meet the patriarch of the Dyer Fan family.
In the cooperation between Lu Wenhuan and the Sider fan family, he did not write any secret letters, nor did he mention them in person, either to find an agent or to answer orally.
This is because he is afraid that the Lu family will leave some handle for others, and the second is that it is useless to write, and the other party is illiterate at all.
The person sent by the Lu family was already familiar with the patriarch of the Waitel Fan family.
The patriarch of the Dyer Fan family talked to the Lu family through an interpreter.
In a sad tone, he said: "There is no evidence of this at all for the Great Khan...... But we don't need evidence for what we do, unless we give everything we have, and get out of here, and the Great Khan may forgive us......"
That man's heart was furious, if you left here, wouldn't I have run away in vain!
