Chapter 998: The First Domino

Zhang Yunling is a businessman, who can be compared with Yang Bo, Wang Chonggu and others, and can cultivate the son of a scholar, and he is by no means an idle person. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He has been in business all his life and has figured people out.

When a large number of people get together, their IQ is seriously reduced, and often the stupidest and most impulsive one takes the lead, and countless smart people have to follow.

It's like a showman on the street, obviously the performance is not good, but someone takes the lead in applauding and throwing silver, you will involuntarily shout and pay for it, and when the crowd disperses, you want to smoke yourself in the mouth, but the money is still spent.

The same is true for the run on silver dollars, with the Jin merchants' family background, there is no problem at all, the key is to have enough scheduling time, arrange calmly, and not all of them can come out in one go.

Zhang Yunling quietly went to the southeast, he first appeased the Hui merchants, and then went to Yangzhou, met with the representatives of the salt merchants, cut a large piece of fat, and persuaded the salt merchants to join them in the same boat.

After settling these two groups, he contacted the Fujian merchants and Zhejiang merchants.

Zhang Yunling calculated that on the surface, the traffic line did not tear his face with the Jin merchants, and he talked all day long about the difficulties of the community, so he simply pretended to be confused, anyway, the southeast is not monolithic.

There are only two parts of the real core of the traffic line, one is the Yantietang series founded by Tang Yi, represented by Lei Qi and Qian Fatzi and others, and then there is the Dongting Mountain Gang, as for the rest of the Zhejiang merchants, Fujian merchants, Hui merchants, and Guangdong merchants, they are all relatively periphery.

Zhang Yunling used all his skills, coercion and temptation, and said all the good things, and finally appeased these people, and the big guys all agreed that they would not fall into the ground.

As long as the major merchant gangs are not involved, the remaining stragglers are miscellaneous and not worth mentioning.

Sure enough, Zhang Yunling casually got a few extras and bought a few newspapers, and the whole run on the tide was invisible.

Zhang Yunling is also over the age of six, and after tossing for several days, the bones in his body are like falling apart, he is slumped on the chair, he doesn't even bother to move a finger, and his subordinates feed him ginseng soup one by one. After a while, Zhang Yunling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Coincidentally, at this time, news came again.

After Zhang Yunling finished reading it, her good mood disappeared all of a sudden, and she just screamed and fainted. His subordinates hurriedly rescued him, and as soon as he opened his eyes, Zhang Yunling's eyes were red, and he shouted frantically: "Quick, prepare the horse, the old man is going to Jinan." ”

The subordinates are stupid, can they still ride a horse like this?

"Don't you understand people's words, prepare your horses quickly, the sky is going to fall!" Zhang Yunling screamed heartbreakingly.

……

What was it that scared Zhang Yunling like this, it turned out that just a few days ago, more than 200 children of the clan of King Lu and his family killed the Heshengyuan branch in Jinan, and everyone took the contract and asked Heshengyuan to fulfill the contract, discount the price of Lu rice, and hand it over to them.

I still remember the plan that Tang Yi threw out at the beginning, the feudal royal clans in various places gave them a sum of money in the form of redemption to fund the transformation and operation of the clan, some for five years, and some for ten years.

Zhang Yunling discussed with many people, and felt that it was okay to go next, and the children of the clan were all a bunch of gentlemen and a bunch of sons. Let them sweat to earn money and support themselves, it is simply a dream.

Zhang Yunling estimates that the vast majority of people will rely on Lu Mi to live every year, and when the deadline for the appointment is up after five years, if the court stops their Lu Mi, these people will go to the Ministry of Rites to make trouble, and they will not forgive, the people of the old Zhu family have no other skills, and they are the first in the world to play scoundrels, and the emperor himself is the biggest scoundrel!

When the Jin merchants discussed, they also ridiculed Tang Yi for his shallow knowledge, and wanted to solve the clan problem with a piece of paper, which was simply a fool's dream!

Anyway, for them, there is no loss, on the contrary, they can also get the right to manage tens of millions of acres of land by the vassal king, and they can calculate according to the calculation of two stones of grain per mu, give one stone to the tenant farmers, and then lose three percent in transportation, and ten million mu, they can produce seven million stones of grain, which is not only enough for sheep raising, but also can control the grain market in the north, manipulate grain prices, and add a big source of wealth.

Either way, it's a great deal.

The Jin merchants unanimously agreed to sign all the clans with the fastest speed and the most favorable conditions.

No sooner had their contract been signed than tragedy struck.

The continuous fermentation of the silver crisis, a lot of problems in the southeast, what workshops are closed, craftsmen's business, and bank runs, have attracted the attention of people all over the world to the southeast, including Zhang Yunling.

But let's not forget that the lack of silver has also caused a cheap amount of silver, especially in the Central Plains, north of the Yellow River.

Now many villages and towns, looking all over the village, can not make up ten taels of silver, especially in the city, because silver is the settlement currency of large transactions, people do not want to give copper money.

In order to fulfill the agreement, many merchants did not hesitate to exchange 5,000 wen for one tael of silver, which was five times more than usual! As a result, it was not exchanged for silver, and it is said that some people even offered a sky-high price of one to ten in private, that is, one or two pieces of silver, to exchange for 10,000 Wen, which is a full ten!

I have to say that when people are crazy, anything will happen, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be distorted and deformed.

The sons and daughters of the clan don't understand the economy, and they don't know how to explore the knowledge, they only see one thing, the silver is too valuable!

How nice it would be if you had money in your hand!

Someone said, you are idle, eating, drinking and having fun, and you have lost all the wealth of your ancestors, how can you have any money?

The masters of the clan are gone, dare to underestimate us! Lao Tzu has no silver in his hand, but we have a covenant book!

Originally, the big guys weren't going to exchange Lumi for silver and then start a business, after all, there were still five years to go. They are like students on vacation, and they will never think about doing homework until the last two days. Five years, maybe the cabinet will be replaced, and if you say something disrespectful, I heard that the current emperor is lustful and healthy, maybe there will be a new emperor in five years.

They are all from the old Zhu family, can they watch the big guy starve to death?

These guys in the clan are outright ostriches!

If it follows normal development, Tang Yi's plan will most likely be unsuccessful, but the problem is that the silver crisis has come, and the brains of the sect disciples have turned.

We are now talking about starting a business and transforming ourselves, according to the contract, the lowest-ranking lieutenant Fengguo can also get five hundred taels of silver, according to the market situation, the price of silver has skyrocketed ten times, what a huge profit! You don't have to do anything else, just by lending, you can make a lot of money.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, my eyes were full of little stars, and without saying a word, I picked up the appointment and ran to the Heshengyuan branch.

When I arrived at Heshengyuan, I noticed that everyone else who dared to love came in advance, this is not good, what if they take all the silver away?

The masters of the clan are not ordinary people, and they usually even dare to break into the yamen, let alone the little Heshengyuan.

In an instant, Jinan's Heshengyuan was blocked by the clan, and there were shouts and scolding waving covenants and frantically collecting debts everywhere!

……

"Hahaha, Xiangye, I, Shen Mingchen, am convinced, how many pits have you dug for Jin Shang, it's just a pit that doesn't pay for your life!"

Almost at the same time as Zhang Yunling got the news, and in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the laughter was even louder.

Shen Mingchen said triumphantly: "Those clan disciples dare to smash the Ministry of Rites, if they hadn't cleaned up the three vassal kings, they would all have been able to run to the Jinluan Hall to make trouble." Let them go to the Jin merchants, what a wonderful move, it's really wonderful! ”

The big guy laughed wildly, but Tang Yi was not so happy.

He put his hands behind his back and sighed, "Alas, this is also a matter of no way, let's fight head-on with Jin Shang, the odds of victory are far less than imagined!" ”

Several strategists, along with Zhou Qinyun and Wu Tiancheng who rushed over, all looked not very good.

Zhang Yunling has been moving around in the southeast for a long time, and after seeing so many people, Tang Yi has already gotten the news, and the southeast that he always thought was in his hands has so many loopholes, which is really chilling.

"My lord, if you want me to say that you don't have to worry, Jin Shang has been in business for more than 100 years, and the traffic industry has been less than 20 years, how can you compare with others? Most of those big families are also false and wronged, and they may not really fall to the Jin merchants. Wang Yin said thoughtfully.

Tang Yi shook his head, "The battle between the two armies is not about how strong the troops are, but at the critical moment, the three thousand Yue armor and eight hundred white robes who can charge into battle and fight to the death!" To this day, we can't get into the core families of Jin Shang at all, but people can be comfortable among our people, this is the gap, and it is also the place to be strengthened in the future. ”

Zhou Qinyun and Wu Tiancheng were silent, and they were indeed very faceless.

In fact, it can't be blamed for their incompetence, this time they took advantage of the silver crisis, the calculation was so big, only a few core figures knew, as for the other merchant clans, their industries were also seriously impacted, and the losses were very large. As the leader of the Southeast Group, Tang Yi can't clearly push his younger brothers to death, right?

Therefore, he must cooperate with Jin Shang on the surface, and when he is like this, the people below will inevitably be half-hearted.

In order to ensure the glorious image of Tang Da Shoufu, the fatal blow to the Jin merchants must not be launched from the southeast. Those clans who were confused, had no skills, and could make trouble, became the best choice - to mourn for three minutes for the descendants of the old Zhu family.

Zhang Yunling hurried and hurried, it took more than three days to rush to Jinan, from the horse can not get down, it is his subordinates to support him, get off the horse is the branch of Heshengyuan, look up, only to see the mess everywhere, the face of the seven doors are broken, the ground is full of bricks and tiles, waste paper scraps, two mahogany doors have also been unloaded, as if by robbers.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yunling's eyes darkened, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she fell to the ground softly......

Three days ago, Zhu Yitan, the king of Lu, and Kong Shangwen of the Yansheng Mansion went to the branch together and took away a total of more than 1.5 million taels of silver. Coupled with the children of the previous clan, the silver treasury of Jinan Heshengyuan was emptied.

King Lu took the lead, and the merchants, officials, and common people of Shandong, only those who had bank bills in their hands, all joined the run, and Hesheng Yuan, who could not afford to pay the silver, was looted by the angry crowd.

The first domino falls, will the others be far away? (To be continued.) )
