Jin-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Zhangjiakou, whether it is Jiangnan merchants, Hui merchants or Mongolian tribes on the grassland, if you want to do business in Zhangjiakou, you must get the consent of Jin-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce

This is an iron law that Zhangjiakou businessmen know, so many years in Zhangjiakou no one dares to challenge the authority of the Jinshan Chamber of Commerce, but no one can say for sure what is going on in the world, the appearance of the Longchang firm broke this law, without notifying the Jinshan Chamber of Commerce on the premise, in the horse market to set up a platform rumors are also very loud, directly to meddle in is the most important business horses in Zhangjiakou

After so many years of development, Zhangjiakou has become the main trade place in the border area, is the main place of trade between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, and the way of trade is also quite diverse, Mongolian cattle, sheep, fur, has always been a very important goods, but in all trade, the most important thing has always been horses

Whether it is the value of a single product or the quantity sold, horses have always been the main commodity in Mongolia, and they exchange horses for their daily necessities, iron pots, salt and other things they need

At the door of the Jinshan Chamber of Commerce, where people came and went in the past, it was very rare that no one stayed, and without the people of the past, it became an ordinary house, and it even looked a little sluggish

In the hall, all the eight masters of the Jinshan Chamber of Commerce sat here, and the expressions on each face were very ugly

After a slight groan, Fan Yongdou, who was sitting on the main seat, slowly raised his head, glanced at a person beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Tian Shenglan, you just came back from the capital, what is the background of this Longchang?" ”

The person who was asked was a middle-aged man in his forties, sighed softly, Tian Shenglan said helplessly: "Shopkeeper Fan, although Tian has just come back from the capital and knows something about this Longchang, but the real details are not only Tian does not know, there are many people in the capital who want to know the details of the Longchang, but so far there is still no news."

It seemed that Tian Shenglan's words had been expected Fan Yongdou's face did not have the slightest surprise, his eyebrows were slightly clustered, and he said, "Tell me what you know!" Let everyone understand! ”

It seems that he admires Fan Yongdou very much, Tian Shenglan didn't refute it, just pondered for a moment, and then said: "The imperial court cracked down on the Donglin Party, but it didn't implicate the merchants in Jiangnan, but the merchants who smuggled with Liaodong fell a large number At this time, the Longchang was just beginning to emerge, and took over the original business of these merchants, and many people who were staring at this piece of meat failed to succeed, Tian knew that the original Fengyue Building was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites wanted to take over, but it didn't succeed, but there was no news, Obviously, the person standing behind the Longchang is not simple."

The people in the room all listened attentively, although they were well-deserved overlords in Zhangjiakou, but there were no threes, twos, threes, who did not dare to go to Liangshan Longchang Since they dared to come to Zhangjiakou with such fanfare, there must be something behind them

Tian Shenglan glanced around the room, and then said: "At the beginning, someone secretly checked the Longchang, but there was not much news, but the owner of the Longchang found out a little news, the owner of the Longchang on the surface is the Fang family, this was originally just a small business, mainly engaged in the silk business, after being suppressed by the silk in the south of the Yangtze River, it was already dying, but it miraculously turned over, and then soon after that, the Longchang was created, and later some people still wanted to check again, but they didn't have time to do it, I was raided by myself! ”

Sighing softly, Tian Shenglan said helplessly: "In the capital, the Longchang is already an untouchable business, and no one goes back to the brow Some time ago, the imperial court thoroughly investigated the palace procurement, and the merchants in the capital were once again implicated, and the Longchang replaced the status of these merchants and became a serious imperial businessman."

The people in the house looked at each other, the Ming Dynasty had seen it for many years, and there were many merchants who could supply the palace, but it was rare for such a company to do this, and it was not easy for Longchang to do this

"After this incident, the Longchang firm is unique in the capital, no merchant is their opponent, the means of the Longchang firm are very few clever, and the means taken are also to pull one by one, for those princes and nobles, the Longchang firm is in cooperation with it, and almost no one refuses, that is to say, the Longchang firm can find the right person every time, which further illustrates the difference between the Longchang firm" Tian Shenglan said everything he knew, and then sighed softly

The mood of the people in the room didn't seem to be high, everyone frowned, obviously quite distressed about the affairs of Longchang Firm, Fan Yongdou on the side was a calm and clear look, put down the teacup in his hand, and said indifferently: "Don't be like this, this is Zhangjiakou, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head of the snake Longchang, although it is menacing, but we have been operating here for many years, naturally we are not vegetarians and want to break the net of Zhangjiakou, it depends on whether Longchang has this ability"

The eight people were naturally centered on Fan Yongdou, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him say this, but there was one person who was still frowning, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking, this person was Wang Dayu

Frowning slightly, Fan Yongdou said a little unhappily: "Wang Dayu, do you have something?" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Dayu was slightly stunned, but said quite worriedly: "Boss Fan, do you remember what I told you that day?" ”

Fan Yongdou was slightly stunned, but his face suddenly became a little ugly, but seeing the rest of the people looking at him, Fan Yongdou didn't say anything and nodded with a serious face, Fan Yongdou said in a deep voice: "Fan naturally remembers that matter, you better talk to everyone!" ”

Glancing at the people around him, Wang Dayu said helplessly: "When the Longchang firm first came that day, I met a businessman from the capital, according to the Beijing merchant, the Longchang merchant came to Zhangjiakou this time, but there will be a big move, he said that there are many people who want to do business with the Longchang firm, this time there are many businessmen who want to come here to intervene, not only the Longchang firm, we must face more than one Longchang firm, so this time a little careless, I'm afraid we will be doomed."

Everyone's faces changed, they were very clear about what they were doing, the things in Liaodong had not passed for a long time, it can be said that Yin Jian was not far away For those merchants, they are also very clear, most of them are not simple merchants, and there are countless powerful people standing behind each family

If you offend one or two, maybe there is still room to turn around, even if it is for the Longchang firm, they don't think that if there is anything if the merchants from the capital come over, then the matter will not be easy to do, for so many years, they can occupy Zhangjiakou, it is because the family family does not look down on this place, but they know in their hearts how much they profit here every year, if this news is revealed by the Longchang firm, I am afraid that countless people will flock to it

Fan Yongdou's face was also ugly, he deeply understood what he was facing, once upon a time in this Zhangjiakou, he could call the wind and rain, and felt that no matter what he was, he didn't care about it, but now Fan Yongdou was full of powerlessness, but it was just a Longchang firm, and he already felt that his donkey skills were poor

After a long time, Fan Yongdou's face changed, and he said quite seriously: "This is not any competition, the Longchang is going to cut off our way of life, this is absolutely not okay, no matter what the situation, we have to stick to the end, we are not paper paste"

Several people all nodded solemnly, they all understood that the Longchang was menacing, and if it retreated, it would mean destruction

Glancing at Wang Dayu, Fan Yongdou said with a serious face: "We need their strength, there are many things that we can't see in light and ask them to do Wang Dayu, Ha Yuansheng's side has always been in contact with you, and this time is no exception, but don't be too straightforward, the people to be arrested by the imperial court must be in their hands, and they haven't been contacted for the past few days because of this, but now I can't take care of it so much, go and contact them."

Nodding, Wang Dayu said in a deep voice: "I'll go tonight, there will be no problem over there, after all, they also have to rely on our strength."

After a deep groan, Fan Yongdou looked at Tian Shenglan, and said with a serious face: "Tian Shenglan, you go to see Zhang Rui and Chen Qian, the commander of Zhixian County, take the silver, and inquire about the ins and outs of the matter, they are also ants on the hot pot now, I'm afraid they will treat us as a back road, so what do you have to say, after all, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and we may not have been compatible with each other before, but now it is not that time."

Tian Shenglan also nodded vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "No problem!" I'll go tonight! ”

"Be careful!" cautiously admonished Tian Shenglan, Fan Yongdou looked at another person again, and said with a serious face: "Wang Dengku, gather all the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce at night, and find all the merchants who are on the same road as us, I have something to say that I want to take a good look at what Longchang Firm is capable of, and we are not easy to bully."

Let the wind blow his face, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Luo Sigong's face was very serious, he understood that he was not catching Huang Taiji now, he was facing the entire force of the entire Zhangjiakou, feeling the wind that was constantly blowing, Luo Sigong gently spread his arms, and muttered to himself: "The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, I, Luo Sigong, haven't killed anyone for a long time!" ”
