Chapter 757: Really, It's a Big Joke in the World!
"Everyone, the shopkeeper Fan is out!"
A butler in a long robe came out and reminded the merchants. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Immediately, a group of businessmen gave up their hands.
The rows of maids and maids standing around them also hurriedly stepped forward to serve them, looking like emperors.
This Fan Da shopkeeper is Fan Yongdou.
Fan Yongdou, ancestral home in Jiexiu, Shanxi. Zhangjiakou, who lived in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was a representative of the Jin merchants in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is represented by the Eight Great Merchants of Jin (that is, the later Eight Great Imperial Merchants).
Most of them smuggled grain, grass and iron tools and sold looted property on behalf of the Jurchens, which made the blockade policy of the Ming court fail, and he was the traitor of the Jin merchants in the late Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Ding Central Plains, Yongzheng gave Fan's descendants the Taifu Siqing and used the second grade service.
It's real, super big traitor businessman too!
The Ming Dynasty died in the Qing Dynasty, and the root cause was that the political affairs were negligent, the scholars were too lenient, the common people were too strict, the peasants were unbearable to the tyranny, Li Zicheng rebelled to destroy the Ming, and the merchants borrowed the scholars to rise.
Fan traitor Yongdou, a person of the Ming Kingdom, a descendant of the Han Dynasty, but when the national war was in the country, he did not seek to benefit the country and a dime, but he regained the trust of one of the people?
Those who do not care about the survival of the Han people, only care about the selfishness of the family, and forget the righteousness for small profits, there is nothing more than this!
If it is said that traitors also have scores, they are scored out of 100. Wu Sangui, at most, scored 70 points. But this Fan Yongdou and his friends, hehe, can only score 90 points.
For traitors in the fighter also!
These Jin merchants sold their ancestors to an outrageous degree, not only reselling large quantities of pig iron, grain, cloth and medicinal materials to Jiannu through mouths. also take the initiative to be the leading party!
While selling supplies, they also helped Houjin build an intelligence network in the hinterland, and sent a large amount of mountainous terrain and military intelligence out in a steady stream.
Otherwise, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng went all the way to Beijing at the same time. How did Dolgon know the route and actual situation of the invasion army, and how did he swear an oath before Wu Sangui decided to surrender, and mobilized the forces of the whole clan to prepare to fight Li Zicheng for the world?
Therefore, the eight Jin merchants were the biggest traitors in the late Ming Dynasty.
And the leader, Fan Yongdou is the biggest Chinese traitor. Even if there was no change in history, Wu Sangui did not defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Fan Yongdou could still cooperate with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to compete for the Central Plains.
Of course, there is also a Fan Wencheng who is not a thing. Two national scum surnamed Fan are really not as good as pigs and dogs!
After everyone sat down, Fan Yongdou slowly swept over everyone with his sharp eyes, and said, "Today's conference, I think you all understand the meaning. The thieves of the Four Seas Dragon Marquis want to start collecting commercial taxes on a large scale, saying that they are only in Shandong and other trials, and I think it will not be long before they will be implemented in other provinces. The old man summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures......"
After finishing speaking, he sat firmly on the seat and drank tea, and his eyes seemed to be closed, spying on everyone's expressions.
The merchants below exchanged their heads for a while, and for Zhu Zilong, he wanted to slowly implement a regular large-scale business tax to Daming. Of course, none of the people present were willing, although they made money every day, but it was difficult for good wealth to come out, and taking out a silver or two from their pockets was as uncomfortable as letting them cut their flesh.
Not only that, Zhu Jiajun's strict inspection of border gates, prohibition of private trade, and control of the Grand Canal made them even more dissatisfied.
In these years, smuggling is rampant, so isn't their income greatly reduced?
After the merchants exchanged glances, one of the merchants stood up. shook his head and said: "Zhu Zilong's move is to compete with the people for profit, don't you hear about the disaster of the Wanli Dynasty's commercial tax?" The merchants of the Ming Dynasty are already poor, and it is not easy for the shopkeepers to do some trading. At that time, the destruction of your family is not far away, and this move must not be done. When the other way around! ”
As soon as he said this, the merchants below agreed.
Seeing that everyone recognized him, the businessman's pride became more and more proud, and he said: "Zhu Zilong is in his early twenties, young and vigorous, and he has little thought about doing things, and he has done such a boiling act of public resentment. I heard that all the businessmen in the world were indignant about the introduction of commercial taxes. It is better for us to make a joint statement and contact Confucianism everywhere. What do you think of the collective boycott class to denounce it as a sign of its own attack? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the businessmen present were even more excited.
Fan Yongdou, who had been observing everyone's expressions, also smiled and got up, arched his hand to everyone, and then said: "Everyone, the old man has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
The businessmen hurriedly replied: "Master Fan, please speak, we will definitely listen." ”
So, Fan Yongdou said with a smile: "Zhu Sihai is sitting in Shandong, suppressing bandits and retreating from Tuntian, this is a good thing." The people approve of it, and we agree with it. It's a pity that no one is perfect, and I was confused for a while, doing such angry things. However, the full scholars have already acted, and we and other businessmen must not be left behind. ”
"For the peace of the Ming Dynasty in the future, I think it is still feasible to propose a collective strike by all businesses. It can be seen that we are indignant and condemn. ”
Seeing that among the border merchants, the biggest traitor boss opened his mouth.
Everyone applauded, and they all said that the big shopkeeper Fan really became a strategy, and said to them that the businessmen jointly boycotted the market, which was a big killer. With a leader, it must be the same as before, pervasive, and profitable.
As precedented, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
The industrial and commercial class was already extremely arrogant, the local economy was completely outside the control of the central government, and the government was full of spokesmen for their interests.
For example, Donglin Party officials take it as an example!
Whenever the government wants to collect taxes from merchants, as long as the merchants leave the market, the government has nothing to do. (The reason for this is because, after the invasion of Jin, the country has no money, and it is afraid that the civil strife will go to the next level.) )
The land of special border towns is more dependent on these merchants.
In those days, scholars boycotted classes and businessmen boycotted the market, and after this huge momentum was created, even the emperor and Zhang Juzheng had to back down by three points.
Now that I think about it, isn't the little Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas going to be intimidated immediately?
For a time, all the big businessmen stood up to support this act.
"Okay, what the shopkeeper Fan said is very reasonable, and we will choose a time to strike the market collectively. Work together to tide over the difficulties and extinguish the seedlings of taxation in the early stage. During the period, no one is allowed to do business, and after the strike, Zhu Sihai has to listen to the voice of the people, and the will of the court will definitely turn back to the shore, and the signs of abolishing commercial taxes are also emerging. ”
In addition to the merchants, there were many scholars present, and there were several people such as Xuezheng and old prisoners. Hearing that Zhu Zilong was going to try it out in Shandong and other places, and that he was going to levy commercial taxes, and that he might implement it nationwide in the future, he was of course extremely angry.
The whole venue is like a place for future generations to gather and speak, and a place for small (sales) transmission.
Lao Fan's villain's proposal was right in their arms.
Everyone present said a word to me, and their words were painful. If you want to collect a merchant tax, you will take food from their mouths, and you will be able to accept it.
Finally, everyone agreed.
These scholars, scholars who have read the books of sages and sages, and the pillars of the imperial court (merchants), must stop Zhu Zilong's perverse behavior.
Boycott classes, boycott of the market, all walks of life have responded, and everyone is united in their determination to put pressure on Zhu Zilong.
In the end, let him take back his fate, wake up to the public, and turn back.
Otherwise, the country will not be a country!
(Well, people who don't know really think that they are all loyal ministers.) It turned out to be a group of traitors, planning how to destroy the country here! )
It's really, the world's most ridiculous!
