Yang Laosan's words are good, the imperial court is unreliable, and most of the thirteen big businessmen are families who have been doing business for generations, and they are no longer small merchants who have risen rapidly after the year of Gengzi.

In the first battle of Gengzi, although the common people were not harmed much, it is a fact that many large businesses were hit hard. The disaster started in the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, military expenses, salaries, and labor troops, and how many large families died at the hands of foreign demons or bandits, but what the real cause of these things was, most of the people here knew in their hearts.

Fifteen business alliances have the Yang family, which is an outlier, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! The world is changing, and the whole Qing Dynasty feels this thing the most is the merchants, the change of the type of goods, the change of income, with the change of the world, these merchants are also changing.

The signs of the troubled times have appeared, bandits are rampant in various places, riots and rebellions are at every turn, and the soldiers and generals of the imperial court are too incompetent, and hundreds of chaotic people have to mobilize the army of the state capital, and they are invincible, and they have to say that with the eight thousand soldiers and horses of the Yang family, they can't use it, and their hearts can be a lot more stable.

Besides, whether the Yang family won or lost this appointment did not have much impact on them. If the Yang family is defeated, will the foreigners dare to start a war lightly? How many foreign soldiers are around the coast of the Qing Dynasty, these people are still counted, if it is really a war to destroy the country, the foreign soldiers will not be successful.

Of course, it would be better for the Yang family to win, the more foreigners were afraid of the Qing Dynasty, the more benefits these merchants here would get, and a stable world was a good time to do business, and war was the last thing most merchants wanted to see.

The fifteen business alliances proposed by the Yang and Pan families are a good object, and if the Yang family is greatly injured because of this, it is also a good choice, and without the Yang family, Pan Shicheng's heel will be unstable. This huge business alliance is here. Relatively speaking, they have more opportunities.

It doesn't work out. It is nothing more than a process of weighing the pros and cons, not so much that Yang Meng explained the thirteen big businessmen, but that the thirteen big businessmen persuaded themselves.

"Done! This matter will be done according to the way of the Yang family! ”

With the first one to agree, the rest of the merchants also agreed, and the first major matter discussed by the fifteen business alliances was unanimously approved.

"Good! In this case, it is time for our fifteen business alliances to show their strength, except for the merchants in England. We want to sign a letter of intent with merchants from Mifa and other countries to import and export goods.

What goods do the Qing Dynasty need, what goods do Mifa and other countries need, let's make a list with them, the purchase of the purchase, the shipment of the shipment, with this letter of intent, we will do things simply.

Before, the stewards of the Pan Yang family were already talking about the letter of intent with the businessmen of these countries. Now that we have fifteen business alliances, we should take over this matter. ”

Business Alliance, Business Alliance. It's about buying and selling, and as soon as the war is over, Yang Meng threw out another bombshell.

The thirteen big businessmen were also shocked by Yang Meng's words, but they didn't expect the Pan and Yang families to do things, if the fifteen business alliances were not formed this time, in three hundred and fifty-seven years, the business affairs of the Qing Dynasty would all be occupied by the Pan and Yang families!

"Yang Sangongzi, is there also a saying for the import of this goods? I am in the cloth business, and as soon as this foreign cloth comes, our Songjiang beautiful cloth in the Qing Dynasty has become an unpopular goods.

The color of the cloth is good, and it is delicate and uniform, and the price is even cheaper. If the business alliance buys foreign cloth in large quantities, my foundation in Songjiang will be ruined. This loss is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and this price can't be borne by my family, right? ”

A Hui merchant who deals in cloth first expressed his worries, fifteen business alliances are good, but the bulk of foreign goods will impact their own territory.

As soon as the foreign cloth came, this cloth shop in the Songjiang area was about to be scrapped. The money invested before and after can't just be wasted.

"That's a good thing, I also have iron smelting, those foreign iron, foreign needles, foreign nails, one is good, the other is cheap, how can those blacksmiths mix rice? These blacksmiths have been raised at a great price, who will be responsible for my loss? ”

One person took the lead, and the other merchants all spoke out about their own difficulties, except for textiles and iron smelting, the southeast coast of the car and ship industry, sugar refining, and many industries were affected.

These businessmen think of their own interests, but Yang Meng thinks of the people who make a living, these are the sources of turmoil!

Give them a way to live, the Yang family doesn't have that ability now, but immigration seems to be a good solution, weaving, iron smelting, car and boat foot strength, these people are all useful when they go to Yunnan.

"So be it! The Yang family has some business in Yunnan, and your craftsmen there still have the strength of cars and boats, even if they go to Yunnan, my Yang family is responsible for entanglement. When they get to the important places in Yunnan, they will also succeed in regaining their old business, and my Yang family will never treat them badly.

Of course, it is also beneficial for you to do this, one tael of silver for ten craftsmen, one tael of silver for twenty coolies for chariots and ships, and one tael of silver for fifty tenants of farms. ”

"What do these craftsmen and coolies have to do with us? We are talking about the original industry of each family, the purchase and sale of large quantities of foreign goods, and the amount of profit is not clear, but the losses of each family, we are clear.

Yang Sangongzi, such a big loss, there is no explanation, I'm afraid that other things are difficult to do! ”

Let's not talk about the relocation of the population and the violation of the laws of the Qing Dynasty, let's just say that the Yang family ignores the losses of the rest of the families, and some people are unhappy.

"Hey, hey!

Are you selling cheaply?

Something else that's hard to do?

Hum......

Let's talk about the ugly things first, the rules set by the fifteen business alliances are related to the interests of the fifteen families, if you plan to rebel in the nest, it is best to quit now!

Otherwise, it won't be your life lost in the future! ”

Don't say anything first, just rush this threat, Yang Meng sneered, and then let the faces of the other thirteen families change greatly, and then they came out of their mouths.

"Yang Laosan, what do you mean by this? If you are together, you will gather and if you don't get together, you will disperse, and you want to tie us up with the business alliance? No way! ”

"Get in and out if you want? Do you think these fifteen business alliances are big car shops? Before things are done, if you want to quit, leave the draft agreement and get out of here!

In the future, if any one breaks the rules of the business alliance, there will be no other punishment. Raiding the family and exterminating the clan is the only rule. What the Yang family in Yunnan is best at is not business. It's about killing people and exterminating people! ”

Negotiation. One is talking about the background, and the other is the momentum, someone came out to blow up the thorns, Yang Meng did not flinch, and the blunt and cold threat was thrown on the table.

"Hey! Why bother? Yang Sangongzi is right, rules are rules, what are we getting together for? Isn't it still a big profit? If you are together, you will get together, and if you don't get together, you will be scattered, but it is okay if you have no interests. But how thick is the profit of the monopoly of foreign goods, there is no need for Pan to subdivide it, right?

Before the interests are exhausted, I think that the families will not easily leave the business alliance, so what's the use of saying some angry words?

If the people are not raised, they are bandits, blacksmiths, foot power, boatmen, and mountain bandits, and they seem to understand the mystery here! Then Pan will tell you about it.

What else does a blacksmith do besides striking iron to mend pots? Fighting the blade should be a piece of cake, right?

Coolies, foot workers, and boatmen are mostly strong. And these people are familiar with your business, right? Mountain roads and highways in and out of the provinces. These people are familiar with each other, right?

Compared with the farmer tenants everywhere, the craftsmen everywhere are familiar with their brains, and there are many literate people, these people have lost their livelihood, gather in the mountains, forests, and lakes, and become mountain bandits and water bandits. Or will they come to rob us big families?

What is the Yang family spending money on doing this? One is the lack of craftsmen in Yunnan, and the other is to eliminate the big trouble for you. You all have strong men or brave people in your family, right?

Think about it, blacksmiths, foot power, boatmen, bandits, those people in your family, are they opponents? Each family has 18,000 people, do you have the financial resources? Purchasing muskets and artillery and hanging the banner of the imperial court, do you have that ability?

That's why I say! The people who were sent to Yunnan, not only can you not accept the money, but you also have to make up for them. Think about it carefully, which of Pan's words and Yang Sangongzi's words are for the sake of it? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Pan Shicheng also stood up, and the thirteen families present were convinced, and some people actually broke out in cold sweat on their heads.

His beloved son-in-law is also reckless, and it is a good way to move craftsmen, but pay according to the family's mouth, these bastard-like profiteers, they are not allowed to mix sand into it? As for his son-in-law's threats to these merchants, Pan Shicheng felt that it was normal.

"It's still Master Pan who has a vision, we people are not mixed up in the official face after all, our vision is a little shallower, don't blame Yang Sangongzi, just do what you say."

When it comes to their lives, these businesses are not talking, and they are thinking about how to send those unstable factors to Yunnan, as for the subsidy entanglement that Pan Shicheng said, these human rights should not be heard. For the sake of some poor sour men, it is not worth spending money in vain.

"You know the best! is still the method I said, the entanglement and the head money are all paid by the Yang family, after all, these people are available to the Yang family. Entangled you to pay in advance, and when it is saved up into a large number, it is enough to settle directly with Lord Pan, and my Yunnan Yang family will definitely not treat you badly in this matter.

There is still one thing to bother you, the Yang family trains these manpower, and also needs some martial artists and literate talents, if you have decent martial artists, as well as those Xiucai literati who can't survive, they will also move to Yunnan together, and these people will have one or two silver per household.

You can also make some promises to these people, as long as they have real talent and real learning, it is a trivial matter to have enough food in Yunnan, and it is not impossible to live the life of a rich man.

There is one more thing I want to warn you, after all, the Yang family is not a gold and silver mine, and the funds are also limited, when you choose people, it is best to be more meticulous, the collapse of the Yang family is not a good thing for the fifteen business alliances.

Think about the big merchants who fell in the battle of Gengzi! Looking at the relationship between the Yang family and the Pan family, this time the Yang and Pan families were eager.

But the Yang family's support for the Pan family, you should also think about it carefully, thousands of bandits, my Yang family can be settled by a thousand people, there are still seven thousand people in Yunnan, and there are fifteen business alliances, if you have any trouble, can the Yang family still sit idly by? ”

threatened to woo, lure and suppress, Yang Pan and his sons-in-law manipulated the thirteen big businessmen inside and out. Although some of the words were hurtful, the other thirteen families also recognized the special status of the Yang family in the business alliance.

"That's it! These are inconsequential little things, the monopoly is what we have to care about, the East India Company, but the merchants with their own weapons, how to deal with them, we also have to think about it, the goose is not a matter of being pecked out, but it can't happen to us people. ”

As a red-top official and businessman of the Qing Dynasty, Pan Shicheng cut off Yang Meng's words, the matter of monopoly rights is a big deal, and the East India Company is the enemy of the fifteen business alliances. (To be continued......)
