Chapter 636 Taoist priest
More importantly, after this incident, no one trusts the seven merchants in Zhangjiakou and will never cooperate with them again. Even if they want to buy goods, everyone wonders if they can buy enough goods from the other merchants. If they do not compete with Yusheng and squeeze, each merchant can slowly recover their vitality. As long as the business roads in the north are maintained, the current silver flows into the hands of each merchant. But now the business war is in this way, and sufficient supply of goods can no longer be guaranteed, and even the trade in the north cannot be guaranteed. How can this vitality be restored?
At this time, someone carried a large stack of copper coins in a package and was about to go out with his back. Wang Yongfa suddenly rushed over and shouted: "I won't repay it anymore. Our money house will be closed for the time being, and I won't repay it anymore!"
Jin Liangyu woke up from her dream and shouted, "Close the door, close the business first, bring the red card in."
Wang Dengku first made a quest, and then shouted: "Change Bidui from one thousand and change it back to eight hundred!"
Wang Yongfa said: "Eight hundred farts are used, change it back to seven hundred and eight, no, seven hundred and five!"
Several big Shanxi merchants were like crazy. They could no longer afford to lose, and they didn't want to ask anyone to take out a little copper coins. However, the customers who exchanged the money were guests who were doing business from Shangjing, Lantian, Shaanxi. They passed by here and saw that there was money to exchange and there was also fun. They didn't know the background of the two merchants, so they exchanged them nearby in the money shops of the seven Shanxi merchants. These people wanted to take back the money. These Shaanxi customers were unwilling to do so. Everyone first argued, but later started a quarrel. Finally, the two sides fought each other and rolled the copper coins all over the floor.
Seeing this, Tian Shenglan stopped and walked over to pick up the money, picking up the copper coins scattered all over the floor. While picking it up, he muttered softly: "This is wrong, no, why do you have so much copper with Yusheng? This is a scam, a scam... I can't figure out why they have so much silver to buy copper, and they are not afraid of losing money. What's going on? We obviously have a good place and a harmonious place, and we also have silver coins, why do we lose? I can't figure out even if I die... We should
It was a great success, and took the line of Donglu and sold food continuously. Cloth, medicinal materials, military equipment, we sold it as long as the silver was given. Donglu was trapped in Liaodong and grabbed a lot of gold and silver. This was a good customer. We couldn't understand it very much... No matter whether he was a captain or a Tartar, he could do business as long as he was given silver. We should make a fortune, and our wealth increased several times, or at least quadrupled. If Donglu won the world, there would definitely be our benefits, but this is why... why did we lose..."
As Tian Shenglan spoke, her heart ached and she spit out white foam from her mouth. Then she leaned to the ground, her eyes turned black, her mind suddenly became empty, and all the thoughts disappeared without a trace.
"It's dead..." Wang Dengku finally noticed Tian Shenglan's strangeness, and his face twisted in fear. Looking at Tian Shenglan who was not willing to speak, Wang Dengku screamed in a loud voice.
...
"Big brother, big brother, big brother."
Fan Yongming ran to the dilapidated temple with a look of panic, yelling while running.
The temple Zhu Mo Yuan was an old Taoist in his seventies. His hair and beard were white and his energy was declining. Seeing Fan Yongming screaming in, he didn't have the strength to stop the pilgrim who was not very worried, but just frowned slightly.
Among the few pilgrims, many people recognized Fan Yongming, and some shouted to Fan Yongming: "Fan Lao San, what are you calling here? You are not afraid of being worried about the gods."
"Yes, I'm a little out of control." Fan Yongming wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, stood still, and held his breath and calmed down.
"What happened?" The man who spoke was curious and asked.
"Tian Shenglan died of a sudden illness." Fan Yongming just saw Tian Shenglan being carried out with his own eyes. The people from the Tian family were crying outside, and the money shop was closed. Even those who had exchanged the money were not allowed to take it out. They fought and made a fuss in the store, which was really shameful.
With such a fuss, the money shop of Shanxi merchants will certainly be closed. The seven Shanxi merchants not only lost their money, but also lost all their face.
"Oh, what was expected." The person who asked, "I was also commending money with Yusheng, saying that a strong dragon would not defeat a local snake, but this dragon was too strong, so our Zhangjiakou businessmen really couldn't stand it."
Most of the people present had gained a bargain in this money shop war, but they were also worried for a while.
"Your brother is gone." The old Taoist who had just sat cross-legged and stood up, took out an open book from under the cushion and handed it to Fan Yongming.
"Ah?" Fan Yongming was quite surprised. He came this time to convey Wang Datong's meaning. This business war was indeed not unexpected by Fan Yongdou. Wang Datong admired it very much and was grateful to Fan Yongdou's previous statement. Because after hearing Fan Yongdou's words, the Wang family's business company had bet on He Yusheng early this time, and took a lot of profits. It is estimated that there will be a lot of profits to make in the future. Wang Datong also inquired about Li Mengnian and knew that Zhang Han had long taken Fan Yongdou's heart, so he decided to hire Fan Yongdou as his big cabinet. Of course, it could not be asked to restore his glory to the past, and at least he could live a rich life.
Fan Yongming was happy and ran over to convey this good letter, but unexpectedly Fan Yongdou had already left.
Fan Yongming took the book and opened it. He saw that there were only a few words on it: At this point, I know that it is right now but yesterday is wrong, so I am wandering all over my body. My brother doesn’t have to worry about it. If I have the heart, I can take care of my wife and children for one or two, and my foolish brother will be grateful to me.
"Where has he been?" Fan Yongming loosened his hands and the letter fell to the ground.
The old Taoist kept his head and shook his head and said, "I don't know, but he has officially become a monk and has a Taoist ancestry and a Taoist name Tianxuan. I think that as long as there is a Taoist temple in the world, you can go there."
...
The chaotic business war finally ended with the death of Tian Shenglan, one of the seven major Shanxi merchants. This was a result that was full of surprises and surprises.
The entire business war was only less than two months old, and the wealthy people were powerful. The seven Shanxi merchants with strong strength in Zhangjiakou were almost powerless to fight back.
He Yusheng's copper coins seemed to be dug out from the ground, endlessly. Almost with his strong strength, he defeated the seven Shanxi merchants with strong strength without any tricks. From beginning to end, He Yusheng took the initiative and advantage, and then expanded his advantages little by little. In the end, he not only defeated the seven Shanxi merchants, but also impressed a large number of merchants from Xuanda to the capital and northern Zhili.
It can be said that in the past, He Yusheng was just a rumor that everyone mentioned. Now, He Yusheng is already a well-deserved giant-style super-commerce company. A large number of merchants chose to cooperate with He Yusheng instead of having to sell considerable interests as before, so that Zhang Han could establish chambers of commerce in Tianchengwei and Lingqiu, and to bring those willing to cooperate into the chamber of commerce, so as to integrate a considerable number of merchants and the power they have. Now, it is no longer necessary.
Zhang Han's attention to the business war was almost not very careful when he stabilized the copper mine. His eyes had already turned to the north again.
The combat room in Lizhuang is very large, with a separate five-room large house with a large area, and dozens of senior officers gathered inside without feeling crowded.
It is because most officers nowadays have smokers and the tobacco pots are almost unstoppable. The tobacco leaves grown are very fragrant when they are baked. However, for those who do not eat cigarettes, the smell of the tobacco leaves is really uncomfortable for people who are furious. Li Shenming and Sun Jingting, who rushed back from afar, were frowning. They opened the window and let the spring breeze blow constantly into the house.
Sun Yao held a long stick and pointed at the sand table in the middle. The sand table was spent more than two years in the military department. After a lot of map experts, they continued to modify it to scale and finally got the huge sand table in front of them. Looking around, it was almost a three-dimensional map of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in the later generations. The military department and the maps of Western Regions and Liaodong were all made up of uninterrupted surveys and mapping by military information and mapping personnel in recent years. The Liaodong map is not detailed, and there is only a part of the Western Regions. In the places controlled by Weilat Mongolia, He Yusheng's convoy has never penetrated deep. The Han people were hostile there, and few Han people went there. It was difficult for the Military Intelligence Bureau to penetrate.
Sun Yao pointed to the place in front of Daheihe Fort on the map and said, "This is the latest defense map in March. You can see that our naturalized fortress is built thirty miles north of Xiaoheihe Fort. A supporting military tower fort was built along this military fort. We pushed forward steadily forty miles last year. We could have pushed more, but for the sake of stability, we will only be here for the time being."
Everyone looked over there, including the Naihua Fort, Xiaohe Fort, Daqingshan Fort, and Sanbao. So far, four military forts have been successfully built in more than four months. From the northwest to the north of Xiaohe Fort, the core is four military forts and dozens of supporting military docks, each of which is about three to five miles apart. Once an emergency military situation occurs, the army can obtain support between the various military forts, which is the same as last year.
"It's very good." Li Shenming praised: "The army has done a good job. It's still tied this noose in the most difficult period from winter to spring."
All the officers in the room looked at Zhang Han, and Liang Xingxian said: "The east fortresses such as Shangyi Fort are almost completed. By April, the Beilu horses were still exhausted and thin. I feel that it is time to use troops."
Zhang Han turned to Wang Changfu and said, "The Military Training Department talks about the situation of the new army."
Wang Changfu said: "In addition to the two regiments trained on Pidao, we have now organized four regiments of combat soldiers. The early training of recruits has completed 70% and 30% of the troops are under training. Among them, there are six artillery companies and the Iron Cavalry is a regiment. The main ones that have not completed training of recruits are cavalry and artillery."
Cavalry and artillery training subjects are much more complicated than infantry. The more complicated infantry is the musketeer. Mastering the gun and queue is only the first step. The next step is to strengthen the training of shooting and battlefield reactions, because in war, the enemy may not disturb you. You are asked to arrange the array calmly, with anti-strike and anti-jamming capabilities, as well as the ability to urgently arrange the array under complex terrain, are all the key points in training.
