Section 1387 Alliance(1)
"In my humble opinion, in the future, my generation and Guanzhong Haoqiang are afraid to fight a fierce battle!" Putting down the wine bottle, Zhuo Wangsun was already serious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Guanzhong Haoqiang, represented by the Tian family, the Yang family, the Wuyan family and the Lanling family......" Zhuo Wang Sun Kankan talked about the introduction: "Tian, since Emperor Gao moved to Guanzhong, has been rich in the world...... Back then, the Zhu family was in Japan, and they still had to respect the head of the Tian family! ”
The Tian family is powerful, and everyone in the world knows it.
And, the more wealth you have, the more things you know, the more awe you have for the Tian family.
Since Hanxing, the head snake in Guanzhong has changed more than three or five waves.
But Tian has always stood tall.
That's what it's like!
This family has been able to avoid political turmoil and turmoil in the palace over the years, which is enough to show its strength.
You must know that from Emperor Gao to the present, the Han family politics have experienced the first thirty years of bloody storms.
Originally, Emperor Gao had the heart of abolishing the queen and making it easy to store, and the court had a dispute between Empress Lu and Mrs. Qi.
Emperor Gao died, announcing the end of this turmoil, opening the reign of Zhulu, and the princes of the Liu family died when Empress Lu was in power, and the only ones who died were the kings of Qi, Dai, Chu, Wu and Huainan.
Among the ministers, it is also like cutting leeks, perishing in pieces.
Empress Lu died, and it was a new era.
Chang'an was bleeding, and the ministers and princes punished Zhu Lu and welcomed the king.
The whole country is reshuffling again.
During the reign of Taizong, although the national level was relatively stable, the turmoil in the palace never stopped.
First, Mrs. Shen was favored, competing with Dou Hou, and then King Liang Huai was favored and coveted the storage position.
There are also a series of reshuffles such as Beiping waiting for the prime minister, Huanglong changing the yuan, and Zhang Shi's upper position.
Until he took office, the turmoil and reshuffle in Guanzhong have continued.
Not to mention, those heroes in the Guanzhong during the time of Taizong, and even the world's well-known heroes, how many are there now?
Xuanqu Ren's family is already yesterday's yellow flower, and the famous Guanzhong Li family is even more dry bones in the mound, and the princes and kings who fought against the present day are now even rotten bones.
When the emperor was the first emperor, the famous minister in the court, Yuan Ang and Yuan Si, who were known as 'confidants all over the world', are now counting taro in Panyu.
Similarly, when the first emperor was majestic, he hung the seal of the general, and Wei Qihou Dou Ying, who had the credit for pacifying the rebellion of Wu and Chu, could not even go out of the door now.
But the Tian family is in Guanzhong, and after so many ups and downs and bloody storms, they have been standing.
This family is a legend in itself!
The most important thing is that many people know that Tian is not without standing in the missed team!
But each time, he made a timely and surprising choice.
For example, back then, when the ministers and princes punished Lu, the Tian family originally knelt and licked the Lu family.
To be reasonable, a rebellious family like the Tian family will definitely be pulled out of the list afterwards!
However, the Tian family was not magically liquidated.
Countless people were dumbfounded, and they didn't know why, and it wasn't until much later that someone revealed the truth - it turned out that long before Empress Lu came to power, when Emperor Gao was still on the throne, the Tian family had been kind to Empress Dowager Bo......
The truth is so unbelievable.
Countless people say that the Tian family is lucky.
But, no one here dared to attribute this matter to the luck of the Tian family!
Once, so to speak, luck!
However, every time you can find a savior, it is not luck, but strength.
The Tian family had a good relationship with the Lu family during the Lu period, and when Taizong was in Taizong, he had a good relationship with the Bo family, and he could also talk to Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo of the Dou family.
Even now, the Tian family is still the guest of the eldest princess of the pavilion Tao Taichang and a friend of the relatives of the righteous man.
Nanyang County Shou Zhang Tang's wife, and she is the daughter of the Tian family!
In the face of such a family that has been deeply cultivated in Guanzhong for decades, has a deep relationship with the families of relatives in previous generations, and may even have a relationship with the Son of Heaven, who dares to underestimate it?
Not to mention, the wealth of the Tian family, in fact, is not much less than that of Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying.
It was only in the past few years that Tian's wealth began to shrink.
But this shrinkage is not due to poor management or falling into recession.
Rather, it was the influence of the Son of Heaven's policy - two years ago, the law of peace was officially proclaimed to the world, and it was first implemented in Guanzhong.
It's not for show.
The Son of Heaven personally supervised, and Tingwei, Neishi, Shaofu, and Zhijinwu acted together.
The bureaucratic system of the entire empire operated in full force, going deep into the counties and townships, measuring the land one acre by one, and with the help of thousands of scholars and grassroots officials, as well as ink scholars, the imperial court spent a whole year measuring and registering all the land in the entire Guanzhong.
Then, taking these data, the government gathered all the landlords and businessmen in the region according to the map, and asked them: Do you want to do business, or do you want to be a landlord?
A merchant is not allowed to occupy land beyond the limit.
And the landlord is not allowed to do business!
Violators will be taxed on a tiered basis.
In desperation, one by one, the powerful clans in Guanzhong began to dismember and split.
The businessmen were forced to separate from the cultivators.
Countless associations of landlords and merchants were directly dismantled.
Even the Tian family was strictly implemented this policy, and the tens of thousands of acres of land and more than a dozen manors under its name had to be dispersed to more than a dozen sons and nephews.
However, even so, Tian's wealth is still not to be underestimated.
It is conservatively estimated that at present, the Tian family's main family has at least 50 million or more five-baht savings and thousands of gold reserves.
In addition, its workshops and shops are worth at least tens of millions!
Moreover, although the Tian clan fell apart, after all, the time was still short, and the connection and bond were very strong.
As soon as the head of the Wakada family gave the order, those side branches, who got the land and the side branches of the manor, would definitely enthusiastically contribute their own strength.
But......
Although the Tian family is powerful, everyone is not afraid now.
Because, the leader of this alliance is the grandson of King Zhuo and the king of the empire.
And his will is, to some extent, the will of the Son of Heaven!
There is a son of heaven and a backer, this time the big guys join forces to enter the customs, there is no reason not to win.
It's just a matter of winning more and winning less.
And because they knew about it, everyone talked about it all at once.
"I heard that now, the Tian family controls most of the shops in the nine cities of Chang'an, and also owns shops in Huai City, Liushi and Heping City...... "Li Sheng, a giant in Zhao Di, whispered to Wang Xuan beside him: "Almost thirty percent of the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea of the people in Guanzhong are supplied by Tian!" In addition, Tian also mastered the channel of specially supplying vegetables and meat to Qili and Shangguanli......"
Wang Xuan also had a green light in his eyes when he heard it.
Guanzhong is the place with the strongest consumption power today.
There is no need to look at anything else, the economic wave created by the annual examination alone is enough to make everyone's hearts surge.
This market, conservatively estimated, is estimated to have a trade volume of more than 300,000 in a year!
Moreover, as the Han Empire continued to grow stronger and expanded, the economy and consumption power, population, and wealth of Chang'an and Guanzhong, as imperial Shenjing, would only increase.
In this market, just one bite is enough for your family to eat for a lifetime!
And the business controlled by the Tian family has undoubtedly become a piece of fat that everyone wants to eat!
In particular, Li Sheng and Wang Xuan aimed at this market early.
With the abilities of the two of them, of course, they are not the opponents of the Tian family - and even the qualifications to wrestle with the Tian family are not enough.
But now, the world's businessmen have united, and thirty-one giants with more than 30 million families have joined together, and the Tian family is no longer an unchallengeable giant.
"Li Gong, you have the best swordsman and the most famous wrestler in Zhao State, and you also have the best three singer training camps in Zhao State......" Wang Xuan said: "And in the hands of the contemptible people, there are the best guys, shopkeepers and account offices in the entire Huaisi region, you and I join forces, as long as we can have a foothold in Guanzhong and Chang'an, twenty or thirty years later, we will definitely be able to replace the Tian family!" ”
Li Sheng listened and nodded, as far as he was concerned, the trading in Guanzhong, whether to make money or not was secondary.
The key is that he can't live without a backer in the court.
Without a backer, no matter how much money he has, no matter how many shops, the strongest swordsman, and how beautiful the singer is, it is only someone else's.
Only businessmen like Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying can be regarded as truly safe!
In fact, every giant who comes here has such a plan!
Thousands of family fortunes? Slaves are not counted, and there are countless workshops?
In fact, it's all fake!
It can't be supported by the state, favored by the Son of Heaven, and can't advance and retreat with the society and breathe together.
Then he may become a ghost under the knife of the court commander at any time, a 'thief' written by the imperial history, this good head, and even his wife and concubines and children may become the political achievements of the county guard and the county order.
Therefore, for many people, this entry is not just for profit.
It's also for the sake of his life, for the sake of whitewashing and going ashore, in order to find a backer.
Therefore, they will do whatever it takes, and after receiving the invitation, they will give up everything at hand and travel day and night to come to Chang'an.
And after arriving in Chang'an, what they saw and heard strengthened their determination - this is the source of wealth in the world, as long as they are rooted here, they can definitely make money without making stupid moves!
Zhuo Wangsun continued to introduce: "After the Tian clan, the first to recommend the saltless clan...... Wuyan's clan is the son of a veteran Qian merchant in Guanzhong! ”
"In Huai City, one out of three shops is salt-free!" Zhuo Wangsun sighed: "Although after the promulgation of the "Ping Law" today, the merchants are no longer allowed to hold excess land, but the Wuyan clan has set up an auction house to auction the people, things, and fields it has pledged. ”
"And the lack of virtue and righteousness of the Yanwu clan is also ......"
"The interest on the money he put is as high as five times! Hundreds of people were forced to sell their children and daughters, but they were unable to repay their debts, not even the interest money......"
When Zhuo Wangsun said this, he became impassioned: "Princess, this time, expelling unscrupulous profiteers such as the Wuyan clan from Chang'an and Guanzhong will not only enable our generation to get their own family and shops, but also prosper the world!" The Mohists, the Legalists, and the Xunzi School will all clap their hands and applaud......"
That's for sure!
In the twenty or thirty years after its prosperity, the Wuyan clan can be described as doing a bad thing.
I don't know how many innocent people's blood and tears have been stained in my hands, and how many families have been forced to go bankrupt by this terrible family of money-rich merchants, and their wives have been separated.
But......
Righteousness or benevolence and morality are not a thing at all for businessmen!
In this world, no one does a loss-making business, even if it is a great good thing.
But if it is profitable, the merchants who smell the smell of blood will surely flock to it, even at the expense of trampling on all laws and morals.
Now, Zhuo Wangsun suddenly called on everyone to kill the Wuyan clan.
This made everyone shocked, and they all thought privately: "Could this be the intention of the Son of Heaven?" ”
It is almost impossible to exterminate the Wuyan clan without the will from the court.
Because, Wuyan is a legend!
A model of businessmen in the world!
At the beginning, Zhou Yafu, the prime minister of Changping, was ordered to lead the army south to quell the rebellion during the period of the first emperor, and due to the lack of military funds, Zhou Yafu had to borrow money from the merchants.
But none dared to borrow - everyone was afraid of the risks.
And this risk comes not only from the possibility that the rebels may win, but also from the fact that the king does not admit it in case of victory.
However, the Wuyan clan didn't blink an eye, and the family took out the full five thousand gold that Zhou Yafu needed!
This not only shows the wealth of the Wuyan clan, but also shows how complicated the relationship between this family in the court is!
At that time, if the news was unreliable or the backers were not strong, they would never dare to borrow money.
Afterwards, Zhou Yafu returned victorious, and paid off all the loans with interest.
Wuyan bragged to the outside world, saying that he would make a tenfold profit because of this.
This figure is, of course, fake.
However, it is a fact that at least it has more than 20,000 gold with interest!
Even the state dared to lend, and afterwards even repaid the loan with interest.
Salt-free, miracles.
It was also from that time that the merchants of the world began to believe in the credibility of the imperial court and the credibility of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Killing people to pay for their lives, and paying off debts, has since become a well-known saying in the world.
And now, Zhuo Wangsun has publicly shouted that he wants to get rid of the Wuyan clan and make him unable to gain a foothold in Guanzhong.
This would not have been possible without instructions from the court!
You're not stupid!
In fact, to this day, you see, who dares to lend money to the state, except for one unsalted clan? Not to mention being repaid!
The backer of the Wuyan clan is not in Weiyang Palace, but in Changle Palace!
And no one of the equals wants to deal with the Wuyan clan, and the others, no matter what, are no match for this terrible family.
Not to mention......
Money merchants are never easy to deal with.
Under them, the dead soldiers and outlaws they raise, even the princes and nobles dare to assassinate!
Want to do something about him?
We must first eradicate the dead soldiers and outlaws of the Saltless Clan!
And this must be the state's shot, and even the embroidered clothes guard who makes the world hear about it!
Therefore, when Zhuo Wangsun said his request, everyone hesitated all of a sudden.
Do you want the sale of the saltless family?
Absolutely!
But, is there a life to take, a life to do?
