Marx famously said, "Capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just as nature is afraid of a vacuum." As soon as there is a suitable profit, capital will be bold. If there is a profit of ten percent, he guarantees that it will be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even to the risk of being hanged. ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, headed by Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa and other eight major businessmen, they took advantage of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, the government was corrupt, and the social turmoil was in turmoil, for the interests of themselves and their families, secretly for the Manchurian Jurchens, food and various military supplies, and at the same time secretly stole important information from the Ming Dynasty, and started a political business with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the final gains are also huge, in one fell swoop the merchants, who have been the lowest class in society for thousands of years, raised to the peak, but when their eight families are prosperous and make money, it is also the most painful time for the Chinese people, not to mention the three days of Yangzhou in later generations, the three massacres in Jiading, only two times in the Huangtaiji period, the direct victims reached nearly five million.

Such a moth of the country, a traitor who wants to make small profits and forgets the righteousness, how can he not be hated to the bone.

Therefore, after hearing Monkey Er's words, Shi Lei couldn't help but say with a blue face, "Okay, I didn't expect it, it was you, I didn't go to look for you, you actually jumped out by yourself, since you don't want to live your duty, then don't blame me for being ruthless, don't completely eliminate you traitors and traitors, how can you be worthy of this opportunity given to me by God." ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Lei turned his head to the second monkey on the side and said, "Second brother, I have decided, this batch of grain of the Huang family, I will decide, you will go down in a while and let the nightingale's brothers, keep an eye on them carefully, go and don't let them run away, and, from today onwards, you have to send more people into the eight families, give me a good eye on them, if there is any important news, report it in time, from today on, I will be with this group of sluts who want silver and don't want ancestors." ”

After listening to Shi Lei's words, looking at the evil aura on Shi Lei's face, although Monkey Er didn't know why Shi Lei hated the Eight Families so much, he knew that from now on, the Eight Families would have a hard time, so after receiving the order, he turned around and left

"No, I don't agree, my lord, this matter can't be done, now just one Li Chuang will make us tired of dealing with it, be careful, if we provoke the eight families, we have no other way but to destroy." That night, after listening to Shi Lei's absolute, Jia Hanqing suddenly retorted anxiously.

For the Eight Families, although others know that they are very powerful, only Jia Hanqing, who has been growing up in the border passes, knows that the true strength of the Eight Families, saying that they are the soil emperors of this generation in Shanxi Province, is not bad at all, even Sun Chuanting, who had more than 100,000 troops in Shaanxi back then, has to raise military rations and borrow money through the Eight Families, not to mention, now a small Yulin, no more than 10,000 soldiers, will not be more than three or five members, how can he confront the Eight Families.

"Destruction, I still don't believe it, a group of businessmen who started by being traitors have such a great ability, since you all said so, then I really want to try it, see if these traitors, traitors have such great ability, if they really kill me, it is their ability, but even so, I will break a few of their big teeth when I die." Shi Lei said with a sneer on his face.

It's not that Shi Lei really can't listen to opinions, on the contrary, he can see through the appearance of Jia Hanqing and everyone that the Eight Great Families are definitely a behemoth at this time, but the more so, the more he wants to move this behemoth, because he wants to erect a belief for all those who follow him, that is, the brave are invincible, and now they are just beginning, if at this time, they have to avoid and compromise in the face of a Eight Family, then they will encounter a more powerful Li Chuang in the future, If the Manchu iron cavalry is spoken, what should they do, can they bow down and wait for slaughter?

Sure enough, in the face of Shi Lei's unreasonable words, Jia Hanqing trembled for a long time and didn't speak, and finally sat on the chair helplessly and didn't say a word.

"My lord, I don't know if I have the honor to give my subordinates advice." Seeing the scene in embarrassment, Tong Chenfu, who had just joined Yulin, spoke.

Seeing Tong Chenfu speak, Jia Hanqing's eyes couldn't help but light up, Jia Hanqing knew Tong Chenfu's talent very well, and he also knew that he was not a reckless person, so he now hoped that Tong Chenfu's opening could stop Shi Lei's willful action.

"Sir, just open your mouth, since I invite you over, I will definitely let you speak freely, if there is anything Mr. just say directly, even if you scold me to your face." For Tong Chenfu, Shi Lei is also very convinced.

"Okay, since the adults said so, then forgive the subordinates for being presumptuous, the adults grew up in the capital since childhood, and have not been to this northwest place, so they may not know much about the eight families, even if they really heard some rumors, but they are all just words, I don't know much, therefore, if the adults don't mind, the subordinates will first explain some details about the eight families to the adults, if the adults still decide to do it after hearing it, we will discuss it then, I don't know how." Tong Chenfu said slowly.

Hearing Tong Chenfu's words, Shi Lei nodded, to be honest, his understanding of the Eight Great Families was also through some rumors in later generations, and he really didn't know much about the real situation.

Seeing Shi Lei nodded, Tong Chenfu also said, "The Eight Great Families are also the most famous representatives of the Jin Merchants, and the earliest Jin Merchants have appeared since the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, but it is this dynasty that really makes the Jin Merchants develop, the earliest is when Chengzu Northern Expedition to Mongolia, because of the advantageous geographical location of Shanxi, it has become the rear of the Northern Expedition army.

Later, because of the blockade of Mongolia in the Guannei, resulting in a shortage of materials on the Mongolian grassland, some poor people in Shanxi took risks and secretly sold some materials to the grassland, and then, with the development, Mongolia became more and more depressed, and the Ming Dynasty gradually opened up the border passes, to the Ming Jiajing period, the Jin merchants finally became the world's leading business group, not only because they have money, the most important thing is that they have high-ranking officials in the court to support them, the first assistant of the year, Zhang Siwei is the most typical.

Then, relying on this relationship of power and money, the Jin merchants used a hundred years to infiltrate their forces into all the border passes in the north, up to a provincial political envoy, the general army of the border passes, down to hundreds of households, small banners and other small officials, all the forces turned into a big net of interests, and at the same time, they used this big net to seek more benefits for themselves, so that the entire northern border pass became a chess piece in their hands.

Later, with the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the rapid decline of the Mongols, the entire steppe was empty, if it had been like this, then the Jin merchants who made profits by trading with the Mongols would soon be destroyed.

At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although several times defeated the Ming attack, can kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, their original population was not much, in addition to the repeated harassment of the Ming army, so that they quickly fell into a predicament, at this time, the eight families should appear at the right time, with food, ordnance and other materials in exchange for various treasured things in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, ginseng, pearls, animal skins, in this way, but let the eight families get more profits than before.

Since then, the eight families who have tasted the sweetness are selling Ming intelligence and information to the Manchus, and the Manchus have also reciprocated the Manchus not only with silver support, but also with a certain amount of military support, it can be said that the current eight families are not only businessmen, but also a huge force. ”

After listening to Tong Chenfu's explanation, Shi Lei finally knew why Jia Hanqing and others were so worried about the Eight Families, originally, what really worried them was not the Eight Families, but the Manchu masters behind them, you know, the current Manchu Qing Dynasty is no less than the comparison between Mount Tai and ants for Yulin, but if Shi Lei really gives up that batch of food and materials, watching these things that will become enemies in the future to attack the Ming Dynasty and kill the people are shipped out of the customs, Shi Lei just can't pass this hurdle in his heart.

After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Shi Lei finally spoke, "I understand what you mean, but after thinking about it, I still decided to make this vote." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Lei saw Jia Hanqing who was about to speak, and then said, "Old Jia, needless to say, I understand your thoughts, I can't be afraid that I will offend the eight families because of this incident, so it will attract the revenge of the Manchus, but since we are Han, we can't tolerate this kind of betrayal of the enemy, if we don't know, forget it, since I know, then I won't let it go."

At that time, if it is really because of this incident, it will attract the revenge of the Manchus, I am not afraid, I want to let them see, we Han people are not all the same dog legs, soft bones, there are still a few bloody men, besides, we are just robbing them of a batch of food, we will leave after robbing, and when the time comes, they will be able to know who we are. After finishing speaking, Shi Lei turned around and left the hall, leaving a few people looking at each other.

Half a day later, Jia Hanqing said, "This is really Li Lingzhi's faintness, he just won a battle, and he doesn't know what to do in the future." ”

Jia Hanqing's words were finished, but Tong Chenfu on the side said with understanding, "Master Jia, I don't think adults are good at all, but they are confident!" Before the words fell, Tong Chenfu also turned around and left.
