Wang Datong also has this similar idea, no matter what, the Jin merchants used to be dominated by Fan Yongdou, and the eight Jin merchants added up to a million taels, and they always felt a little uneasy when they bet without looking at it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Yongming thought for a while and said: "The key point now is still in the hearts of the people in the city. Fan Yongming is now climbing Wang Datong and refuses to let go, he is not as tough as Fan Yongdou, after remarrying a wife and having children, the Fan family is not the same as back then, he always has to try to make money by himself, if he can make Wang Datong seriously appreciate, there will always be a stable teahouse to eat.

"Yes," Wang Datong agreed: "He Yusheng is developing too fast, which always makes people a little confused. If the merchants of the city all feel that the general trend of Heyusheng has been achieved, there will be no hindrance in the future. ”

This is also Wang Datong and other far-sighted businessmen are worried, if Yusheng really subdued the Beiyu, the future northbound trade road will be blocked, if they open up Zhangjiakou, the entire Xuanda to Jizhen trade route will be monopolized by Yusheng, if you join forces with those few Jin merchants but in the end this is the case, then the loss will be big.

……

A few days later, the news suddenly came that He Yusheng had opened a money bank in Zhangjiakou.

After hearing the rumors and confirming the accuracy of the source, Wang Dengku, Tian Shenglan, Wang Yongfa and others immediately gathered together.

Wang Dengku frowned and said, "At such a critical moment now, this move seems to be their killing move." ”

Tian Shenglan said with a frown: "His Royal Highness always says that he supports us and others, but he has no power except for setting up a few tax cards outside the palace, and he has no three guards and horses, and he can't control the towns of Datong, what is the use of this pro-domain." ”

The acting king is indeed a lip service and is not real, always want to ask the Jin merchants to do business for his palace to make a fortune, but a few Jin merchants are not fools, they have long ignored the acting king, and comprehensively shrunk in Zhangjiakou, in the last year when Zhang Han and the Mongolian tribes were at war, they stopped most of the trade, but continued to detour to the Houjin trade, and the scale was also greatly reduced, several Jin merchants took this opportunity to continue to smuggle to the north, and each earned tens of thousands of silver in more than half a year, which strengthened their determination to continue smuggling.

In the original history, these Jin merchants were eight in total, Fan Yongdou was the main, in the last ten years of time to smuggle grain and a considerable amount of military supplies to Liaodong, after Li Zicheng and other rogue Kou became the climate, the intelligence radiation of Houjin was not as good as the northwest, and also had to buy the intelligence from the Jin merchants, Dolgon once ordered the bachelor to write the national letter and deliver it to this side, and the channel was also passed on by the Jin merchants, and later the Qing army entered the customs, and the son of Fan Yongdou was directly awarded to the second product from a businessman, and the Qing court has always been not lightly awarded in the name of the country and the instrument. The second grade is worn and gifted with the status of an imperial merchant, which is a good price for Fan Yongdou and others to sell their ancestors.

Now that there is no Fan Yongdou, the seven Jin merchants have appeared the same, and they have also discovered this huge business opportunity. After all, the Ming Dynasty was isolated from the horse market, and the Jurchens had gold and silver but lacked all kinds of physical goods, and the business opportunities caused by this supply and demand relationship would definitely be discovered by the merchants, but with Yusheng in front, the Jin merchants could only drink soup, and the scale was never bigger.

Wang Dengku said: "More than ten days ago, a man of mine delivered goods to the five places in Inner Khalkha, and met a Jurchen nobleman, who heard that we were smuggling to the north, and this person was very interested. ”

"I know that, too." Tian Shenglan's eyes lit up and said: "If you can connect with the Jurchens, the shipment will increase greatly." ”

Wang Yongfa said: "He Yusheng is still making trouble with us, it's really hateful. ”

Wang Dengku pondered: "He Yusheng has troops in the north, if Karaqin is broken this year, our caravan will go north." The important thing is to quickly contact the Jurchens, and the Jurchens packed the ticket and said that as long as they contact them, it will not be good for Yusheng to do it with us. ”

"In this case, everyone will spend their money." Wang Yongfa said: "I don't know how much worse our combined net worth is than Zhang Han, but I don't think they are much better than us here in Zhangjiakou." From now on, we will buy the goods they want at a higher price, and we will exchange their money cheaper than them, but we have no way to do it through this mule and horse shop and the account office. ”

"If you can really work together, you can squeeze Yusheng and have no business to do in Zhangjiakou, after all, people's hearts are now in a dilemma." Tian Shenglan looked full of confidence, after all, the seven Jin merchants were strong, and they were in their own territory, so there was no reason to lose to an outsider who didn't do his best.

……

The branch of Zhangjiakou is presided over by Li Mengnian, who has been here for several months, and has initially straightened out the relationship between all aspects, and Yusheng's influence in Zhangjiakou is also increasing day by day.

At that time, Li Mengnian's most important task was to come over to find out the extent of the collusion between the Jin merchants and Donglin and the Beiyu, and then decide how to deal with the conflicts with the Jin merchants at the right time.

After all, Yusheng's reputation is important, and outsiders don't know that Fan Yongdou and others have long colluded with officialdom and relatives, and they don't use commercial means, if they use assassination or robbery to destroy these Jin merchants, it is certainly happy, but the large-scale action can't be hidden, Zhangjiakou belongs to Xuanfu, Xuanfu's general soldier Yang Guozhu's relationship with Yusheng is almost broken, both sides understand that they are not fellow believers, and Yusheng's bribery is just to make Yang Guozhu not embarrassed, if there is a big move in Zhangjiakou, I'm afraid it gave Yang Guozhu the excuse to do it. In addition, once it is publicized, it will have a great negative effect on the image of He Yusheng, and it can be solved by commercial means, or it is good to carry it out within the scope of business.

If at this time, Heyusheng's forces in the north have solved the Karaqin Department, and the power has been extended to the five places in the Inner Khalkha Department, then of course there is no need to be polite, the smuggling team of the Jin merchants has come out and killed as many as they want, and it is useless to let your seven families reach the sky with their hands and eyes, and what rules and benevolence can be observed in places where the court and public opinion cannot see, that is, you can't get along with yourself.

Li Mengnian's plan was also approved by Zhang Han, the military department began to tilt material support, under his various means, the small half of the merchants in Zhangjiakou have fallen to and Yusheng, most of the businessmen are still watching the wind, the main suspicion is that the Jin merchants are the head of the snake and also have strong strength, in case and Yusheng are not defeated by their situation will be very embarrassing, and there are not many who completely fall to the side of the Jin merchants, after all, and Yusheng has mastered the logistics and account bureau and iron trading, many businessmen have been cooperating with Yusheng for many years, and each other's incense is not shallow, It's just that they can't be sure of Heyusheng's determination here in Zhangjiakou, because most of them are the first rats at both ends and bet on both ends.

Qian Zhuang opened dozens of steps away from the semicolon side of He Yusheng, Li Mengnian bought a three-story building with a courtyard, renovated and opened, and the Qian Zhuang officially opened in the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Less than twenty steps away is a few big Jin merchants co-owned money villages, and the signs of Yusheng and Jin merchants fighting in the ring are very obvious.

"One for nine hundred?"

After hearing the news and knowing that the money looked very good, Wang Dengku and the others looked a little ugly.

Similar to the normal price of copper coins with gold back money is one to eight hundred, which is the price comparison recognized by the people, and Yusheng even according to this price will have a large number of merchants and people to exchange, after all, the folk are extremely short of money, the use of broken silver is very inconvenient, many places have to barter, if there is a good copper money price and reasonable, as long as there are some silver taels that can be used at hand, copper money must be the most sought-after hard currency, only under the necessities of life such as grain.

"It's really ruthless." Wang Yongfa and the others glanced at each other, and they were all a little nervous and embarrassed.

Wang Dengku's face was a little ugly and said: "That Li Mengnian heard that he was born as an attendant next to Zhang Han, he looked gentle and elegant, and he was still a posterior, but he acted so decisively and ruthlessly." ”

They didn't know that this kind of exchange price was set by Li Zhuang, and all the numbers were the same, and the military department originally considered one to eight hundred and two or eight hundred and five, and then gave the big businessmen some room to make profits, so that they could make 900, so that the shipment was fast and profitable. However, later Zhang Han considered that the financial situation of the military department is almost exhausted, and what is the point of high profits and slow shipments, so that 900 will make many people who are not in a hurry to use money will take out a large amount of silver money to exchange, after all, the copper coins are of excellent quality, unlike the silver coins of Heyusheng that are equal to their own military tickets, and they cannot be popularized and used on a large scale without the support of reputation.

"Let's add twenty wen." Tian Shenglan and Wang Yongfa glanced at each other, both of them were ruthless.

"That's all I can do." Wang Dengku said: "But we have to inform the rest of the people, we have to prepare some silver books in advance." ”

"A family of eight thousand is almost inseparable." Tian Shenglan said proudly: "It doesn't hurt our muscles and bones, it's just a little money." ”

Wan'er 8,000 taels of silver is indeed a small amount of money for them, and the seven families can also make up nearly 100,000 taels of silver, which is also nearly 100,000 yuan, and it is estimated that there are many branches in Heyusheng, and it is unlikely that there will be too many copper coins to send over.

……

"Add twenty wen?" Li Mengnian stood in front of the store with his hands in his hands, and after hearing about it, he couldn't help but smile lightly.

"Let's add another thirty articles," Li Mengnian said, "Everyone is lively." ”

and Yusheng's money village went from one or two to nine hundred, and after half a day, it suddenly became nine hundred and five!

The money is still the same money, but the exchange ratio has been lowered by fifty, and the merchants and people of the entire Zhangjiakou have smelled the smell of it and felt the strong atmosphere of business war.

The two money banks are less than twenty steps apart, and Yusheng is gouache card, nine hundred erased and directly written as nine hundred five, and the Jin Shang money village over there is nine hundred and twenty written on red paper, which is very ironic.

Since Wang Dengku and the others have left, of course the shopkeeper in the store can't make any more profits, and all the people in the Jin Shang Qianzhuang are anxious to burn their eyebrows.

The strange thing is that even if he and Yusheng put another thirty Wen, there are still not many people who exchange it, even those ordinary people who are in a hurry to use copper coins.

"These guys ......" Li Mengnian still said with a lot of pressure: "Wait for the Jin merchants to fight with us, they will pick up the cheap." ”
