There was also a second group of Hui people on this continent, who originally lived in present-day central and northern eastern and western Asia, who were taken captive and coerced during the westward expedition of the Tatar army, and most of them later willingly became accomplices of the Tatar army to oppress others or follow them around in business.

In fact, there is a third batch, they were originally Han people in the north, in order to avoid being bullied by the Tatars and Huihui, the Tatar bandit group stipulated that the Hui merchants could pay forty percent of the tax on the original goods, and the Han merchants had to pay as much as sixty percent!

Of course, there are also those who make some benefits in order to gain some benefits from the flames------ so they entered the **** and climbed from third- and fourth-class slaves to the status of second-class accomplices.

Now they are not calm, their goods can't go out or come in, and the taxes of the big bosses are still as usual!

Of course, they have to find Pingzhang Ahma, who is also from Central Asia, to cry, and if they continue to accept it like this, they can only ask for food on the street!

What they didn't know was that Pingzhang Ahma was still going to raise their taxes, and even beat their family's idea.

In this time and space, the Semu merchants, whether they were in the northern continent to take refuge in the Tatars or in the southern continent to the Great Song Dynasty, they all supported some families, of course, the number of everyone varied.

Pingzhang Ahmad was preparing to persuade the big leader Kublai Khan to fight those people's ideas, anyway, they were all slave soldiers------ most of them were slaves brought from all over the country, and their fighting strength was not weak.

His ass is resolutely sitting here with the big boss, as for those merchants, there is no way, they must dedicate themselves to this empire!

Pingzhang Ahmad shouted angrily at them, "Why didn't you come to me when you relied on the Great Khan to make your fortune? Now it's just a little more tax, and you're starting to complain?! Without the Great Khan, you are nothing!! ”

The Semu merchants immediately understood the fact that Pingzhang Ahmad was definitely no longer their man, he was the man of the Great Khan------

It turns out that it is possible to live without the Great Khan.

The powerful Semu merchants began to run away, they secretly ran south by land and water, the sea route was no longer possible, those Liuqiu people blocked the entire sea route, I heard that the port of Dengzhou on the Shandong Peninsula was all docked with warships, and there were many sailors wearing the same clothes.

However, the Semu merchants were still more afraid of the Tatars, which was a fear that was soaked to the bone.

In the History of the Tatars of Dosan, it is recorded that after the accession of Möngke Khan, the Khan's third brother Hülegü commanded another army to the west in an attempt to conquer Baghdad, such an incident occurred:

A Tatar cavalryman stormed an Arab village and ordered all men, women, and children to stand in two rows and tie each other to their hands with ropes.

The Arab villagers had long been frightened by the series of atrocities committed by the Mongols in their homeland, and one by one they succumbed to the tyranny of the Tatars and complied.

When the villagers were properly tied, the Tatar cavalry took up his sword and cut off the heads of everyone in the village one by one.

In fact, these Arab villagers would not have ended up in such a fate whether they rebelled or fled in all directions, but the image of the barbarism and murder of the Tatars had long been ingrained in the minds of the Arabs through a series of massacres, so that they did not even have the courage to resist or flee.

But this is only the villagers, not the well-informed businessmen------ the merchants of color and eyes privately discussed that they were going to run, and the goal was very clear, if there was a way in Quanzhou, they would go there, and if they did not have a way, they would go to Liuqiu Island.

Merchants have no borders in their bodies and no masters in their minds, they can be afraid, but they only have interests in their hearts, and they are good at choosing the path with their feet.

Soon the Semu merchants fled, and by the time Pingzhang Ahmad got the news, he had already run -----more than half of the previous sea trade, and the big boss Kublai Khan was handed over to the Semu merchants, and even the management of the city was handed over to them, so it cannot be said that they did not pay attention to them, but there was no business, they would not stay, it was better to go to the Great Song Dynasty.

This is not a betrayal of a businessman, this is the normal choice of a normal person------ in exchange for anyone with a little strength, and he will not stay in a place where he has no business to do, and he has to pay taxes in vain, and businessmen cannot be brainwashed.

A real businessman, once the wind blows, will run faster than a rabbit.

Pingzhang Ahmada immediately ordered people to guard and control, you all ran away, what should we do??

Of course, he came to send troops in the name of protection------ which accelerated the escape, and the big businessmen who did not react could be protected, but the small businessmen and small households were not worth it, and after they understood the situation, they also secretly ran away!

The local government of the Great Song Dynasty often has the task of attracting investment, and regards this as a hard indicator for promotion evaluation.

At that time, it was called "luring and surviving", and in five words, it reflected three major concepts, one to attract investment, two to secure business, and three to settle down.

Foreign businessmen come, beating gongs and drums to welcome; Foreign businessmen returned, and the material award and civilization award were sent off.

There is a merchant named Sinabdra in the Great Food Country who is going home, and he gives him a white horse and a pair of saddle bridles.

In Guangzhou and Quanzhou, the policies were particularly relaxed, and they were basically engaged in self-management and self-management, and the leaders in the Fanfang were selected by the local government of the Great Song Dynasty to serve as the head of the region, and the corresponding official titles were also awarded.

The merchants came to the Great Song Dynasty to do business, and there were also troublemakers from the countrymen, but the government of the Great Song Dynasty ******** the normal interests of the merchants.

There was a Hui merchant named Pu Yali, a huge fortune was robbed in Guangzhou, four people were killed, Pu Yali was also wounded, lost 600 ingots of silver and gold and silver utensils, and was robbed by dozens of thieves on the boat with blades to kill four servants, all of them looted gold and silver.

Pu Yali complained to the local government, and the Great Song Dynasty government made it clear from bottom to top: "It has been reported that Guangzhou is in a hurry to arrest it." ”

Regardless of 3721, deal with a local dignitary first, and then talk about it, and immediately edict the in-service patrol captain to be demoted to an official first!

Punish whom? The local government wants to coax people? No, the name of the position is also issued, and the Privy Council is applied.

The Great Song Dynasty government has a clear banner, and the case is solved within one month, and if it cannot solve the case, it must hold the local government accountable, and the official hat must be taken off.

It was not until twenty days later that the thieves were arrested, the looted goods were recovered, and the merchants were returned.

The Great Song Dynasty government did not easily strip him of his shirt and take food from his mouth to all the merchants.

In the past, the neighborhood was set up, and the goods were operated by the store, but later the business was too prosperous, and there were too many employees.

The local government is also a little annoyed, and the roads are too crowded!

However, in the end, the street ghosts were left to him, and instead of confiscating their burdens at every turn, their philosophy was that the subsistence depended on the vendors, and the citizens had to rely on this to support their families.

The mainstream opinion of the Great Song Dynasty government on commerce, including the merchants, was that he made a fortune and I developed.

Take the city of Guangzhou, for example.

Although the local government there knew that the real foundation of the merchants was actually in a foreign country, they also understood that if they did not let them make a profit, they would be trapped, and they would go to the sea, day and night------.

Rather than lose Guangzhou without having anything to do, if you donate the benefits of the size, you will count more for the people.

A rich country first enriches the people, and small profits are the benefits of size in the government, but they are the wealth of the rich family in the people.

In short, the Great Song Dynasty government is still a normal government, and it understands some business knowledge, which is much better than the government that will confiscate it at every turn.

Therefore, merchants from the northern continent were equally popular with them, and no one cared where they came from.

However, there is another place in this time and space that welcomes merchants more than the Great Song Dynasty, and that is Liuqiu Island.

Merchants have more choices. (To be continued.) )
