Although Chen Ming loved Pengdao Yaotai, he didn't stay in it for a few more days, because it was surrounded by water everywhere, and it was very inconvenient to report news, so he stayed in it for one more day, and Chen Ming went back to Jiuzhou Qingyan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Fu Han army seized Beijing, but the change of hands in Beijing does not mean that the war is over, tens of thousands of troops are fighting out of the Great Wall, and hundreds of thousands of people will also return to their hometowns one after another, and then there are some mansions and storefronts in Beijing and Tianjin. The latter can be sold!

Although Chen Han does not plan to move the capital to Beijing, which will inevitably affect Beijing's economic development to a certain extent, Beijing's superior geographical location, the convenience of Bohai Bay, and the border with the northern grasslands will inevitably make this land stand again in the future.

And as Beijing's accompanying capital, no matter how low its political status is, how low can it be?

Besides, in addition to the battle in Chengde, Chen Ming also sent the 2nd Division of the Shandong Army, plus the 1st Beijing Garrison Division, which was quickly integrated by Feng Lian's men, to launch an offensive in the Xuanhua Mansion and Chahar area. The latter Fu Han army is indeed difficult to master now, but at least let the Mongols there know the strength of the Fu Han army, don't come to find death yourself!

Moreover, taking Xuanhua and controlling Zhangjiakou was an extremely heavy blow and restriction to the Jin merchants in Shanxi and the Inner Mongolia Six Leagues. This is not to say that there is only one Zhangjiakou connecting Shanxi with Inner Mongolia, but that Zhangjiakou's commercial scale and 'trade value' are the highest in the prairie.

At the same time, the capture of Xuanhua also posed a direct threat to Datong in northern Shanxi.

At the time of the decisive battle between Beijing and Tianjin, the main force of the Fu Han army in Henan had already captured Luoyang City, and the Qing army was defeated and retreated to Tongguan. The Fu Han army then crossed the Yellow River from Shaanzhou and Yuanqu, and had swept most of the southern part of Jin, reaching Linfen and Lu'an.

When the situation here in Beijing is properly managed, it will be easy for the southern and northern Jin to attack and sweep Shanxi.

Chen Ming's hatred for the Jin merchants in his heart was far worse than that of the Yangzhou salt merchants, who were raised as fat pigs by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and were harvested from time to time. But what do you expect from a pig? Besides, the sin of the Yangzhou salt merchants is not worth mentioning compared with the Jin merchants who speculated on foreign tribes at the beginning.

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the eight families of the Jin Dynasty were all wealthy businessmen with millions of dollars, but what they did was a veritable traitor from a universal point of view.

At the juncture of the increasingly turbulent Ming Dynasty, in addition to normal trade, they secretly transported grain, cloth, cotton and other military supplies to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, provided various military and political information in the Guan, and engaged in political trading. After the Qing army entered the customs, he did not forget to enter the Central Plains for himself to establish a great cause of the eight families, Shunzhi held a banquet in the Forbidden City, personally summoned them, and gave them clothing, and was named "Imperial Merchant" (subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

Fan Yongdou, who was the leader, was ordered to preside over trade affairs and "give Zhangjiakou as the world's industry". The other seven also have their own rewards.

The most regrettable thing for Chen Ming now is that the traitors and traitors of the past are no longer brilliant. Except for one Fan family and the Qianlong family, who still had good political strength and wealth in the early middle of the Qianlong Dynasty, the other seven families have long been submerged in the dust of history. At least the main house is long gone, and only a few branches remain. Now if you mention Shanxi Jin merchants in the shopping mall, it is the rising stars of Yuci Chang's, Taigu Cao's family, Jiexiu Hou's, Qixian Qu's family, and Pingyang Kang's family.

These five are the real giants of the industry, which integrate grain, cloth, salt, silk, medicinal materials, tea, pawnshops, money and other categories. And although the traces of making a fortune one by one are inevitably related to the government, they are absolutely different from the previous Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku and others. They have succeeded more by relying on their own hard work and far-sighted pioneering spirit, which is completely different from political speculation.

The Kang family in Pingyang is now under the control of the Fu Han Army, and none of the heads of the house have escaped. As the richest man in Shanxi, the Kang family had assets of "about 10 million" when they started in the early Qing Dynasty, which was not inferior to the eight imperial merchants in their heyday, but the latter had an official hat on his head. From the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the middle of Qianlong, the Kang family was prosperous for more than a hundred years, and the family road has never fallen. In the year of famine, they will always donate a little money and food to help refugees and decorate the façade. So for more than 100 years, although the Kang family has become the largest landlord in the entire Taiping Mansion in addition to being a big salt merchant, a big grain merchant, a big pawnbroker and a big boss of the money village, it has a very good reputation in the eyes of the local people, and it is recognized by everyone as a great good family.

You must know that although a lot of the Kang family's land was purchased from the hands of local landlords, but more of them were self-cultivated farmers from Taiping Mansion. But the Kang family will decorate the façade and have a good reputation in the local area.

And the deep friendship between the Kang family, who has been rich for a hundred years, and the Manchu government can also be imagined. When the Fan family gave Kang Mazi to the northwest to prepare military rations, the Kang family made great efforts. He has served as the governor of Shanxi, the political envoy, and the envoy according to the inspection, etc., and has never been short of filial piety during the New Year's holidays. In the past few years, the Kang family has successively donated and borrowed money and grain to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, one or two million taels of silver. Such a family dares not to run away, and the courage of the Kang family is very strong.

From Taiping Mansion to the north is Jiexiu, in addition to the Hou family, there is also a Fan family. Now that the Fu Han army has just entered Linfen [Taiping Mansion City], the old and young of the Fan family have already run towards Shaanxi, and the Hou family has not fled. Not only the Hou family, but also the Chang family, the Cao family, and the Qu family are all watching the Fu Han army's treatment of the Kang family.

These people have donated money and grain to the Manchus in the past few years, if the Fu Han army really does not tolerate it at all, although they are unwilling to give up their vast family business, but their lives are important, and they can only pack up their money and run to Shaanxi early.

The Kang family went from about 10 million before the Kangxi Dynasty to 10 million pieces of furniture in the Yongqian period, and was the only one in the entire Shanxi Jin Dynasty whose family property exceeded 10 million levels. Then there are the He family in Qi County, the Wenxi Li family, the Lingshi Wang family, the Taigu Bai family, the Meng family, etc., and the furniture is also in the millions.

And the Qiao family and the Li family in Pingyao in Chen Ming's memory in his previous life are just starting to make a fortune now, and the Guangsheng Gong, the passenger and freight inn that the Qiao family co-opened, is now just an inconspicuous little brother in Shanxi. Don't say one million taels of the Qiao family's family business, I'm afraid it's not a hundred thousand taels.

As for Chang Kaishen's eldest brother-in-law, the Confucian family in Shanxi, he doesn't even have an embryo.

The entire Shanxi Jin merchants are staring at the disposal of the Kang family by the Fu Han army, from Taiping to Jiexiu, and then to the north is Pingyao, Qixian, Taigu, Yuci, this road from Linfen to Taiyuan, there are one after another Jin merchants. No matter how awesome they were in the past, now that the Fu Han army has been killed, these rich businessmen and tycoons who have 'generously donated' money for the Manchu Qing Dynasty again and again in the past few years will tremble in their legs.

In the evening, five fast horses galloped to Houjiabao Village, Dahuashu Town, Jiexiu.

Compared with Houjiabao Village five years ago, the village is obviously much deserted now, and more importantly, this small village has built a wall more than one zhang high, and riders can see the Houjia Castle more inside through the city wall. The ancestral house of the Hou family faces north and south, and is composed of high mounds in the north, and is composed of two courtyards before and after. It covers an area of about four acres. From a distance, the high walls are surrounded by a ring, like a castle. This is also where its name comes from. In the era of cold weapons, such buildings were highly resistant to the average rogue bandits. The gate is a pavilion-style building, the thunder pillar is carved on it, the column head is carved into a pomegranate shape, the head is carved into the dragon's head, the carving work is meticulous and meticulous.

"The villain is Kangyi, I want to see Master Hou if I have something." He rode to the city and shouted.

The Jiexiu Hou family can't be compared with the Kang family, the Kang family has risen for more than 100 years, and the Jiexiu Hou family is the real rise of this Hou Xingyu, he set up in Pingyao Xietai Wei, Hou Changlai, Xin Taiyong, Xin Taiyi, Wei Shengchang; Yishunheng and Zhongyiyong set up in Jiexiu Zhanglan Town; Six letters set up in Jinnan Yuncheng, etc. Most of these businesses are groceries, silk cloth tea houses and money shops.

Hou Xingyu is not very old, and he was even younger when he was in power, and in the past ten years, he has systematically integrated the power that the Hou family has accumulated over the years, set foot in the increasingly competitive money bank business of Shanxi Jin merchants, and firmly established a firm foothold. The family's assets from the beginning of the small rich side, quickly overpowered the Fan family, who was also in the same place.

In other words, the decline of the Fan family witnessed the rise of the Hou family. Although there is no fundamental conflict between the two industries.

Now that the Fan family has fled, they dare not flee. The Xie Zhou Tian family is a branch of Tian Shenglan's third son, but a hundred years have passed, and the Tian family has disappeared, but the Xie Zhou Tian family is still living a good life. Although they are not rich and expensive, they have a batch of salt in Hedong in their hands, and their lives are much richer than ordinary small landlords.

As a result, the Tian family in Jiezhou, all 87 of them were arrested by the Fu Han army, and all the men were beheaded, not even the babies. All the women were sent to the labor camps, waiting for their fate to be unquestionable.

This move scared the Fan family at once, and on the day Fan Qingji heard the news, he sent a message to all the Fan family members - escape!

Even a branch of the Tian family was treated like this by the Fu Han Army, so if the Fan family fell into their hands, I am afraid that even the woman's life would not be saved. When the Fu Han army killed Tian's family, an announcement was made to charge the Fan family and other eight families with traitors. A local man in Jiezhou who did not know the current affairs also denounced the violent behavior of the Fu Han army, and as a result, he was thrown into prison on the same day and sentenced to three years of labor reform. Luckily, nothing happened to his family.

This move suddenly made the entire Shanxi Shilin dare not speak.

Hou Xingyu was having dinner at this time, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he hurried to the front hall without even caring about his mouth.

"Kang Yi?" Hou Xingyu recognized the person, this middle-aged man who was not good-looking was the second head of the Kang family.

"Master Hou, my lord gave up two million taels of silver to buy such an amount of bearer land bonds in two years. The Fu Han army raised its noble hand, and the Kang family passed the test. ”

Kang Yi took a sip of water and moistened his throat, with a relaxed smile on his face. Good, good. The Hou family did not escape, so presumably the Cao family, the Qu family, the Chang family, the Li family, the Wang family, and so on will not escape.

As long as you are willing to give up the money, the life of the family business can be saved. And money, the right to destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster.

God knows how much these Shanxi Jin merchants were afraid of the Fu Han army, when the Fu Han army was "famous", they made large donations and grain to the rich merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to kill them, according to the standards of the Fu Han army at that time, the Kang family did not say that they could eliminate the crime by buying land bonds of two million taels of silver, they would have already given a thousand cuts.

"Huh......" Hou Xingyu's face flashed with a long-lost lightness, "Break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, break the wealth and eliminate the disaster." Haha smiled and patted Kang Yi's shoulder, "Let's go, drink!" We're not going to get drunk today. ”

"Come on, call the eldest young master and the second young master over." Hou Xingyu has a total of six sons, the youngest is only two years old, the eldest is already married, and the second is also engaged.

"Dad, do you say that the number of two million taels will be the silver donated by the Kang family to the Qing Dynasty in recent years? If that's the case, our family will have to spend five or six hundred thousand taels. The eldest son, Hou Tailai, personally sent Kang Yi to the room to rest after drinking, and when he came back, he saw the second brother Hou Enlai drinking tea with his father and chatting. Walk to the chair and sit down, and with just a few steps, he knows what he is saying.

Hou Xingyu is ready to sell his property and raise some money.

No matter how big the family business is, such as the Kang family, it will take two years to come up with two million taels of silver. Their Hou family can't be compared with the Kang family.

"I'm going to waste a million taels of silver." Hou Xingyu said a number that Hou Tailai did not expect.

In the past few years, the Kang family has successively donated 500,000 or 600,000 taels of silver to the Qing court, as well as so-called loans, plus grain, mules and horses and other materials, and the outside world has taken into account that it is more than 1.5 million taels of silver. Therefore, Hou Tailai felt that the figure of two million taels of silver was not much compared to the Kang family. And so on, their Hou family's five or six hundred thousand taels is enough.

"The Kang family didn't take that much. Some of the numbers are misstated. The total of 11,200,000 taels was abolished. Hou Xingyu was warm, he didn't know when he would follow. This night, the entire Hou family, regardless of men and women, masters and servants, slept very deeply. And the family members who watched the nursing home outside ate the specially made reward, and their faces were all smiling.

They eat the Hou family's food, wear the Hou family's clothes, and even some people's families are in Houjiabao Village, so naturally they have to work hard for the Hou family. And if you can't die, no, if you don't die, who wants to die?

Can they still withstand the blow of the Fu Han army with their little body bones? Is it just death? So tonight, they were also in high spirits, and they didn't get sleepy all night.

"Have you heard of the bank?"

The next day, Kang Yi, who had rested, talked to Hou Xingyu about his second business. Bank! The sharp-eyed Kang family valued the bank at a glance, and Qian Zhuang had no advantage over the bank at all. When the four national banks moved into the north, all the money banks in the country could pack up and close their doors.

"Of course I know." The money bank business in the Hou family's industry is a big one. "Does Boss Kang still want to fight the idea of those two banking licenses? Too...... Kidding it! ”

"Haha, Boss Hou laughed. How can my lord be so confused. What my lord means is that since the imperial court can release two private banking business licenses now, then next year, the year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow, who dares to say that there are no new two banking licenses? When the time comes, if you miss the opportunity again, the Jin merchants will be too far behind! ”

At dusk, the wind that had been blowing for a day was lighter, and the sky was slightly covered with a bloody glow and wrapped in a red sun.

The night stretched out in the sky, and a few starlights flashed on the vast canopy.

Feng Wenwen sat in a small soft sedan chair, carried out of Jiuzhou Qingyan by several mothers-in-law, all the way to the Xinghua Spring Pavilion.

Yes, Feng Wenwen has entered the Old Summer Palace. Feng Lian, as the first hero of the complete takeover of Beijing by the Fu Han Army, has been busy recently, Chen Ming specially allowed Feng Wenwen to enter the Old Summer Palace to nourish her body and mind, which is a great gift.

In fact, when Chen Ming said the words, the dirty intention in his heart was that of Hongguoguo. And Feng Lian didn't have any objections at all, as if he had suddenly won the lottery, and all the smiles on his face at that moment were all folds.

Chen Ming ordered the Xinghua Spring Pavilion for her to live, this place was also called Xinghua Village in Yongzheng, and it was built with the artistic conception of Du Mu's poem "Qingming" in the Tang Dynasty, expressing a simple pastoral taste.

The architectural layout of the whole scenery group is arbitrary, with low houses and sparse hedges, paper windows and wooden couches. In the vegetable garden in front of the museum, according to different seasons, all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables are planted, and there is a strong pastoral flavor. In spring, the apricot blossoms are blooming, and the Yongzheng Emperor always comes here to taste the wine while appreciating the apricot blossoms.

The landscape building still has some farmhouse flavor in the Yongzheng period, and it has been changed beyond appearance in the Qianlong year. This guy's aesthetic point of view is much worse than that of Zhiyong Laosi. There are five halls before and after the spring rain pavilion, there are heavy eaves square pavilion of the apricot blossom spring pavilion, there is Zhai, there is the land temple, and even there is the city pass. The artistic conception of his gardening is completely according to the scenery of the mountain villa in his imagination.

Ying'er opened the sedan curtain, Feng Wenwen entered the room, and sat on the couch with a somewhat confused expression, Ying'er opened her mouth to say something, but was pulled by a purple smoke on the side, and the two of them retreated silently.

"Don't talk too much. Can we be involved in this? You don't want to live! ”

"But ......"

"Nothing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at least not strong. ”

Ziyan strode to the outer hall and beckoned a girl who entered the garden together, "Go and tell the kitchen, the girl is not itchy and tired today, the taste is lighter, and the girl will eat later." ”

"Fetch water. The girl wants water. Ying'er also walked out, her face a little red, and she screamed loudly.

Jiuzhou Qingyan is here, and Chen Ming also makes people pass water. There seemed to be a trace of fragrance on his skin, and he walked into the bath with a smile, a pool full of steaming water, lying in the bath Chen Ming emptied his brain, thinking about nothing.

The two battles of Zunhua, Chahar and Chengde were fought very smoothly, but what was unexpected was that after Wang Ping's old boy ran away from the Tanggu battlefield, he actually went out of the border and brought back a group of immigrants from the Eight Banners, adding a lot of labor to the Jizi labor camp that the Fu Han Army was about to set up.

Wang Pingbu was appointed by Chen Ming as the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the Beijing Garrison Cavalry, and his adventures earned him the hat of deputy brigade commander and 2nd regimental commander. The brigade commander is Meng Can, the former Shandong Cavalry Regiment, and the Shandong Cavalry Regiment is led by Yang Lei.

A slight footstep sounded in Chen Ming's ears, and a pair of small hands gently pressed on Chen Ming's shoulders. Chen Ming grabbed the hand and gently pulled it into his arms, the water splashed, and the beauty fell into Chen Ming's arms. Wu Sanniang pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"I'm jealous. The little one is very unhappy, let Prince Ben love you well......" Chen Ming's laughter sounded in the bath. (To be continued.) )
