At the beginning of November in the 11th year of Wanli, all over Shanxi, from north to south, Datong Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, Pingyang Mansion, Lu'an Mansion, Qinzhou, Zezhou, Liaozhou, Fenzhou, merchants and merchants in various prefectures and prefectures received a list. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are all kinds of materials on the list, and the merchants who receive the list are quite shocked, because the goods on the list are stored in their own homes, and the price is quite reasonable, often five cents higher than the current price, or eight cents higher, and the most scarce goods are one percent.

In addition to this price, additional foot money was also given, and these shop merchants hired their own carts to send them to Datong Province, and the foot money was also paid by the buyers.

The buyers who placed the order were Sanjiang Commercial Bank, Jinhe Commercial Bank and Yongsheng Commercial Bank, if the official family came to buy, the big guys were suspicious, for fear that Lei Fu would buy or even rob it.

But these few commercial banks have branches everywhere, the capital is abundant, and there are many dealings on weekdays, everyone knows the details, and there is a lot less worry, and as soon as the deposit is paid, many people begin to hire cars and horses, and ship goods to Datong.

Shanxi is different from other provinces, his commerce and trade are extremely good, Shanxi in addition to the tradition of trade with Mongolia, there is also trade with neighboring Shaanxi, and even the tradition of going to Guanwai and Jurchen trade, not to mention the mainland Jiangnan merchants sent materials to the border towns, and then exchanged for the tradition of salt introduction, although later changed to directly buy salt in silver, but this tradition has been retained.

All the materials to Shanxi as the transit and trade everywhere, resulting in Shanxi's commerce is far more prosperous than other provinces, autumn and winter, is the peak season for trade with the grassland, as well as the peak season for the wax moon festival stocking.

Shanxi is frozen in winter, civilized in spring, the road is muddy at the beginning of the year, and the traffic in Shanxi is extremely difficult, and there is no waterway between Shanxi and the outside world, it can only be land transportation, and it is difficult to pass at the beginning of the year, so it is necessary to prepare enough goods when the road surface is hard in autumn and winter.

Although it was the peak trade season, the caravans on the grassland were constantly robbed, the trade routes were cut off, and the goods could only be pressed in the warehouse, plus the goods prepared for the coming year, and the accumulated materials were even more numerous.

Grain, grass, cloth, salt, iron utensils, all kinds of supplies, but these materials are needed in wartime, orders are issued, deposits are issued, and material resources are continuously sent to Datong Mansion.

The soldiers of Datong Mansion may not be brave in battle, most of them are serfs who are generals for half a day, and they can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but they can gather together to do some work.

To the south of the right guard of Datong, thousands of soldiers were busy and built simple warehouses, as well as pens and stables for livestock in captivity.

The shopkeepers of Sanjiang Commercial Bank and its affiliated commercial banks are gathered here, and every time there is a material arrival, the goods are checked, and then stored in different categories and paid to the cash.

Datong right guard and Yulin Wei, Wei Yuanwei soldiers here also got a lot of benefits, Sanjiang Commercial Bank here to offer money to buy firewood, grass and wood, need people to do the work of transport, the wage has been higher than the market more than three percent, the soldiers here are stationed at the border, the military salary is deducted a year is not much left, now there is a foreign money to earn, why not.

“…………，

Datong Town has a very clear understanding of the news on the side of the Ministry of Response, and the Ministry of Response has a clearer understanding of the turmoil on the side of Datong Town.

They naturally also know that Datong Town is deploying troops, and Mongolia is also a lot of secret agents and meticulous work in Daming, and the news that the Beijing division ordered the transfer of soldiers and horses from Jizhen and Huwei Army to Datong Town to support them, and they knew it no later than Datong Town.

However, the monks and the nobles of the Altan Department were not worried, in their opinion, the border soldiers of Datong Town were not even as good as the sheep on the grassland, and the caravan merchants were robbed on the grassland, and they did not dare to come out to take care of it.

I didn't dare to fight, and I transferred troops from outside to support, how can I support, I didn't nest behind the side wall, looking at the north tremblingly.

After getting the news, the monk Guleng Khan even gave an order to his generals to let them get closer to the side wall when they were clearing the horse thieves in the south to see how the Ming army reacted.

Between November, the activities of the shoe cavalry near the side wall were more frequent, and the monk Gedu Guleng Khan judged the same, the Ming border soldiers did not dare to move lightly, too close, they only dared to light the beacon fire, hiding in the fortress, those Ming scouts who appeared on the grassland, saw the cavalry of the Tartar brigade and hurriedly fled, even those rabbits are not as good.

Although the generals of the Ming Dynasty were so timid and cowardly, the horse thieves on the grassland were even more annoying.

Although the frequency of activities has decreased, and although the caravans have been attacked less and less, these horse thieves seem to have set their sights on the small tribes scattered in the grasslands, and a small tribe sheltered by the Alta tribe was broken into in the middle of the night by horse thieves, and the men of the entire tribe were killed, and the property was burned, and the livestock were taken away and those who could not be taken away were slaughtered.

When the cavalry of the Alta tribe came, there was only a ruin in front of them, and those women and children who were dying, and such a killing was more cruel than a complete massacre, because when all the men were killed, the women and children became a burden to the city of naturalization, and the fear and panic of these women and children would be transmitted to others, and it would be felt by others, and it would cause even greater panic.

In fact, the nobles of the Ministry of Alta also took this into account, and the women and children of this small tribe were all killed by the order of the three ladies and the news was blocked, but the people who knew the news were either angry or extremely demoralized.

Originally, the activities of the cavalry on the grassland were a little less, but after this incident, they became more frequent again, which made Datong, who had just felt at ease, much more nervous.

“…………

In the middle of November, a news began to circulate in Shanxi, saying that after these goods were sent to Datong, they were sold to the Sanjiang Commercial Bank and a dry commercial bank, and these commercial houses changed hands and added 30% of the price, and then sold them to the soldiers of Datong Town.

When they heard the news, all the businessmen suddenly realized, no wonder the Sanjiang Commercial Bank was willing to increase the price of half or one percent to buy, it turned out that there was such a big profit on the side of the government.

Naturally, the thing of making money cannot be swallowed alone, many merchants are not doing it here, and they want to deal with Qincha by themselves, and the goods can be sold at a high price, so why not freeze

However, these merchants, who wanted to sell at a high price, found that their goods were no longer sold except to the Sanjiang Commercial Bank and the trading house where orders were placed for them, and no government was willing to buy their goods in any part of Datong Town, Datong Prefecture.

Don't say that the price is higher than 30 percent or 50 percent, even if these businessmen put their goods at the original price set with the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, the government ignores them, and some businessmen are willing to reduce the price by 10 percent or 20 percent for a while, but the government still ignores it.

Some people hit nails in front of them, and then they saw the Sanjiang Commercial Bank and the officials of the government making a deal, and the two sides talked and laughed.

They finally understood that the government only recognized the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and their own door-to-door visit was just a humiliation, or they honestly followed the original arrangement of the goods to make a steady profit.

However, they could not afford to delay, they did not dare to deal with the government, they did not have too much capital to turn over, but some people could, starting on 20 November, at the passes that entered Datong Province everywhere, some people added five cents to the price offered by the Sanjiang Commercial Bank and other commercial houses on that day, and bought all the goods.

And the checkpoint for the purchase of goods, in addition to the shopkeeper of the commercial house, there is also the errand of the Datong prefect Yamen, which is said to be purchased by the government, but there is an official official on this side, and the price is five points higher.

It is said that more than one prefect of Datong stepped down because he wanted to take advantage of the Huang family firm, not to mention the prefect, even if the governor of Datong has two inverted fog on this, people in Shanxi officialdom know, and people in Shanxi shopping malls naturally understand.

From 20 November onwards, there were far fewer supplies sent to Datong and the left side, and most of them were intercepted in Shuozhou.

The businessmen don't have to run a little longer, save the money for the car, and can sell it at a high price, so they are naturally happy, and they know that the Huang family firm has a big business and enough reputation, and there are actually a lot of white slips, and they say that they will give money in the future.

Since the Huang family firm has such a big backstage, everyone also knows in their hearts, although it doesn't work for everyone to find the government, the government only recognizes Sanjiang Commercial Bank and a few related companies, but the Huang family firm comes to the door, they may not admit it, and they have to give a little face, this is not their own business, and it is good to make money.

In the mansion of Sun Daying, the former chief soldier in Datong Mansion, Li Biao turned out a set of dresses of the commander of the brocade guard in the cage, and hurriedly held it for Wang Tong.

"Han Gang, Sha Dongning, Li Qi......"

Wang Tong tidied up his dress, opened his mouth to read the names of the guards, the soldiers were lined up in front of the hall, solemnly obeyed the order, Wang Tong saw that everyone was so nervous, and said with a smile:

"Who of you has ever killed someone?"

Hearing Wang Tong ask this, the guards who obeyed the order were all excited, Sha Dongning and Han Gang puffed up their chests, the two of them had seen blood on the battlefield, seeing their expressions, Wang Tong couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile:

"The whole team, take weapons, and kill people with this officer!" This text is provided by Daybreak Update Group Daai and Tingting
