Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Three: Divided into Two Ways

"master…"

As soon as Sun Yunhe left, the butler rushed in immediately and supported the shaky Chang Wanda.

"Master, how are you?"

"The court is going to run a Shanxi merchant!" Chang Wanda shouted loudly and threw herself to the ground, "It's going to change the sky, Jinzhong is going to change the sky!"

"There are also the Royal Chamber of Commerce, Hangzhou, Jining, Penglai, Suzhou, Datong, and now it is Jifu and Shanxi!"

My God, this emperor has such a big plan!

Chang Wanda exclaimed in her heart, suddenly remembered something, and said repeatedly:

"Hurry, go quickly and send all the tea and horse transaction books of my Chang family and Xilu outside the pass in recent years to the Supervisory Office."

The housekeeper was unclear, and Chang Wanda saw that he was still hesitating and no longer had any mood to explain, so he almost shouted out:

"Go quickly, go quickly!!"

Seeing that the old man who was calm in the past was now like this crazy, the housekeeper realized how serious the matter was, so he immediately turned around and did it.

Looking at the empty main hall, Chang Wanda murmured: "I hope it's still time, I hope it's still time..."

Then, his eyes looking towards the capital were filled with fear.

The next day, the news that Chang joined the Hangzhou Imperial Chamber of Commerce in a high-profile manner spread throughout Zhangjiakou like a wind, and all the merchants who heard it were dumbfounded.

This is not over yet. Chang Wanda directly donated five million taels of silver to the Supervisory Office in the name of helping the government to provide disaster relief.

Behind countless people's puzzled eyes was Chang Wanda burning incense and worshiping Buddha day and night, and praying day and night is useful.

......

"Chang Wanda is quite sensible." Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Yunhe with a cute look on his face and said:

"If you are going down this time, you will be rewarded by going to the Pacification Department!"

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty!" Sun Yunhe looked happy, but he didn't even dare to raise his head, and bowed and retreated.

The Chang's trade outside the pass was very important to the court, which was also the reason why Zhu Youxiao left the Zhangjiakou branch.

The Chang family in Zhangjiakou often engages in tea and horse transactions with the Chahar tribe. With the reputation of the Dade Yuhao, the two sides have formed a subconscious mutual benefit.

If he wants to completely conquer the grassland tribes, Lin Danhan and Zhu Youxiao of the Chahar tribes will sooner or later fight him.

The decisive battle is not about playing house for children. Just push it up in one wave. Before pushing it up, you must also be well prepared.

The Hanhaote was too far from the pass and could not get any useful information. The whistleblower could not go that far. The spy was not a Mongolian and was easily discovered.

So Zhu Youxiao has been thinking about other ways to figure out the internal trends of Chahar, so that he can take advantage of the situation or something else at any time.

In fact, the merchants are not completely useless. Those who join the Royal Chamber of Commerce have their own uses.

Song Bingshi of Denglai was the one who controlled local salt merchants for the court after implementing the new salt law, and Zeng Liangyu of Datong, who was mainly responsible for the trade of tea and horses and iron tools with the left-wing tribes who surrendered.

In addition to the business, caravans also have an important role, namely, inquiring about information.

Every businessman has its main business location, and Zeng Liangyu of Datong can only find out about the left wing and go further, which will make people suspicious.

Then Zhu Youxiao thought of the Chang family in Zhangjiakou, which often traded with Chahar. The main function of this Chang family is to explore the news within Har.

On the grassland, even the elites of the border army were not collected at night, it might not have as much information as a customs trade caravan.

At this time, there is no exact and accurate source of information, and everything you do is one step slower.

If you want to be ahead of everyone, you must think carefully.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes fell on Wang Chaofu and said:

"Tell Sun Yunhe, keep a close eye on Chang Wanda, and from today on the news about Chahar, I will report it to me to know."

"How are those two going to Shanxi?"

......

After the Chang family was established, Hu Shiguang and Xu Weijing did take great risks. The most obvious thing is that their originally good reputation has become terrible.

Indeed, both of them felt that this matter was not glorious and had not left the station in the past few days.

On weekdays, Shanxi merchants received a lot of money, but at this time, they transformed into the imperial envoy and came to the charge.

But now my life is at stake and I can't care about so much.

The two are now grasshoppers on the same rope and must join forces to cope with the extremely difficult situation at the moment.

Before this, they had thought of various ways, but they felt that it was unlikely to succeed.

The Shanxi merchants are already deeply rooted in Jinzhong. If they can accidentally destroy a Yuci Chang family this time, it does not mean that they will be smooth sailing next.

In Taiyuan, they each contacted their former disciples and old friends, and they all encountered walls everywhere.

Originally, it was fine in the first few days, but everyone thought it was Xu Weijing's vengeance.

But recently, news from the capital that the imperial court would strictly handle Shanxi merchants raising the price of grain and exchanged funds with the Western Legion came. When these two were in contact, no one could understand what was going on.

Although it was the Shanxi merchants who ignored it, the things Hu Shiguang and Xu Weijing did not sound good.

After all, you have also received money, how can you turn your back on others?

"How is it? Brother." Xu Weijing sat on the stool. Seeing Hu Shiguang coming back, he quickly stood up and asked.

"Oh!" Hu Shiguang sighed, sat down and drank cold water.

Seeing this, Xu Weijing understood and stopped asking questions, but when he sat down, he seemed a little discouraged.

The first step is pretty, but it will be difficult next.

Now that the news is coming, everyone in the lower body is hugging each other, and they have nowhere to start.

These days, the two have contacted relatives and friends everywhere, but without exception, everyone has a full face of compliments and smirks, but in fact they are extremely cold.

Ge Fu's identity is placed, and Shanxi merchants dare not provoke him, but this subtle isolation is the most helpless.

As a last resort, the two of them turned their eyes to the people.

For example, servants and people who come into contact with various professions on weekdays have a deep pain in disasters and merchants who hoard rice, and only seek food and clothing and peace.

After that, although the reputation of the two people was already in the Shanxi officialdom and the scholars, they became good parents to make decisions for the people in the hearts of the servants and the people.

What's more, the new policies such as exemption from taxes and service, rewards for land reclamation, and heavy military forces during the Tianqi period were much better than those merchants who were dying.

Although the people are prone to bewitched, they know very well who they should support.

For this reason, Hu Shiguang and Xu were divided into two groups of troops in Beijing.

Hu Shiguang went to find the servant who was on the same day, focusing on contacting servants from all over Shanxi who had the same circumstances as him, especially to seek support from tenant farmers who had been plowing the fields for others all year round and could not even have enough food for him.

Xu Weijing continued to act as the vengeful villain, dealing with local officials and wealthy merchants.

With Ge Fu's identity, I believe there will be many people visiting him to earn a background and then starting from these people.
