The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 633 Jinmen is prosperous, but Jia's mansion is deserted

From the downfall of Zhenguo Gongniu's family to Xiren's marriage to Yeling, time passed quickly, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past six months, Jinmen eliminated internal enemies, Chen Zhao rectified government affairs, rebuilt Jinmen officialdom, and smoothly promoted the opening of Jinmen.

The geographical location of Jinmen determines its convenient transportation.

Especially sea transportation is extremely convenient.

You must know that the freight for transporting goods by sea is more than [-]% cheaper than water transport, and it is much faster.

Therefore, since the Yuan Dynasty, maritime transportation has been vigorously promoted.

Even though there was a ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there are many wealthy families who rely on the sea to make a living, but they just hide it from the emperor of the Forbidden City.

But having said that, going to sea is too risky. Out of ten ships going to sea, six of them can go back safe and sound. Pirates at sea are even more harmful.

Although Jiangnan has the best fertile land in the world, its population is more prosperous, with less land and more people. Many people go to the city to work. Industry and commerce are the most developed places in the world, producing a large amount of goods, but these goods cannot be produced locally in Jiangnan. Completely digested, must be sold to other places.

There are only a few most prosperous and prosperous places in the world. The south is naturally Jiangnan and Huguang, and the north is around the capital. Shanxi Jinshang and Xi'an are indeed rich, but they are too far away from waterways, and they are either limited in scale or extremely scattered.

Goods from the south are sold to the north. The share of sales to the capital and Zhili prefectures accounts for almost [-]% to [-]% of the total. To sell to the capital and surrounding areas, you must go to Jinmen. The node of Jinmen is to the capital. It is the most convenient location for all prefectures and counties in North Zhili.

The emperor guards the border city, the capital is in the north of Dazhou, and the traffic is quite inconvenient. However, Jinmen, where the three prefectures meet and the junction of water and land, has become the best commercial city in Zhili. Goods are transported to Jinmen and then to the capital by water. And Baoding Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, and Jizhen are distributed locally in Hejian Prefecture. They can also go to Liaodong and North Korea by sea and land, and can also go to grasslands, Shanxi, and Henan by land through Saikou. Several prefectures in the north and Shaanxi are all possible.

In order to completely control the shops and firms in Jinmen City, Chen Zhao implemented Jinyi tax in every shop, and each shop paid the tax according to the size of the shop. This Jinyi tax is much less than the previous exorbitant taxes, and it can also maintain the safety of the place. Those ruffians Hooligans and cult gangsters were all purged, no one dared to make trouble, Jin Yiwei was also very disciplined, and everyone recognized it.

After all, businessmen and merchants are greedy from dawn to dusk, calculating all the time, and they have to exploit their buddies to make some profits. A small brocade tax sign is hanging there, and no one will be willing to scrape it away when they sit on the ground.

Not to mention the overt and secret scolding at the beginning, the private connection, and even the public resistance to surrender, their thoughts were instigated several times by caring people.

However, although Chen Zhao, the left governor of Jinyiwei, is young, he is a ruthless character. You came and I went back and forth a few times, and everyone paid the money honestly, and they could only hide it in their stomachs if they were not reconciled.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhao used the money to purchase all the excellent geographical locations on both sides of the canal and Haihe River, which are now barren land, and reported them to the Tongzhi of the Qing Army and the Yamen of the prefect. This land will belong to Jinyiwei forever. up.

Jinyiwei hired craftsmen to level and clean the ground, and then built shops in the front and warehouses in the back, and quickly built a large-scale commodity distribution market.

Moreover, an advertisement was put up at the very beginning: "The shops on both sides of the strait are prosperous, the rent is favorable, and the rent is only [-]% off the regular rent for the first three years of renting."

The signatures are Duke Cheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Chen Zhao, the left governor of Jinyiwei.

Everyone knew that Chen Zhao was the son of heaven and good fortune, and also knew that the three major trading companies were established by him alone, so they all believed in his business methods, so they rushed forward, and soon the warehouses of thousands of stores were robbed.

At the same time, it contributed to the prosperity of business in the early stage.

So in the seventh year of Xiaode, all the resentment of the storefront merchants inside and outside the city against Ping An Qian had dissipated, because they were completely overwhelmed by their gratitude to Chen Zhao.

Due to Chen Zhao's various policies, countless businessmen came here every day, and the inns inside and outside the city were completely full, and households with spare rooms rented out the rooms at the inn price, and the supply was still in short supply.

Every day, there are more than twice as many people on the streets than in the past, wandering in various shops, not to mention the canals outside the city and the Haihe River, bustling and bustling.

Businessmen from Xianghe County and Jinghai County around Jinmenwei rushed over, merchants from Hejian Prefecture counties rushed over, businessmen from Yongping Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture rushed over, and farther away Baoding Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, The merchants from Xuanfu Town rushed over, the merchants from all prefectures and counties in North Zhili rushed over, the merchants from Jinan Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture in Shandong Province, and the merchants from Weihui, Guide, and Kaifeng Prefectures in Henan Province also rushed over. Come here, even businessmen from Liaodong and Shanxi came from further afield.

For more than a year last year, the news that Jinmenwei opened a port, as long as you pay [-]% of the tax, it will be legal goods, has been brought to various places by businessmen who come and go through this transportation hub.

It is not necessary to carry out small-volume, expensive freight, and strictly check the entrained water transport, but to use large-volume, low-cost freight, which can carry more types of goods by sea, and even foreign goods that cannot be mentioned.

And the people who come here are not only the merchants from Nanzhili on the water transport, the powerful merchants from Fujian and Guangdong, the rich merchants from Zhejiang, and all kinds of foreign merchants who dare not say their identities. What kind of business opportunity is this.

Anyone who has done business understands what this means. The weather in Beizhili has not completely warmed up, and the waterways in various prefectures and counties are inconvenient, but there are also a few goods brought by oxen and horse carts.

Many merchants are here to look at the scenery, but merchants from all over the place gather to communicate with each other, naturally there are many more business opportunities than usual, and before the merchants from the sea come, everyone has already done a lot of business .

After the business is completed and the goods are delivered, they arrange their own servants to hurry back to prepare the goods and then transport them. The business here is very good, and this opportunity to make a fortune must not be missed.

After all, there are three major trading companies as the core, controlling the operation of business routes, and earning infinite wealth, but they are using the purest commercial methods. Although they also use a lot of heresy, they are also to deal with heresy.

Since the foundation of the three major trading companies was in Yangzhou, they developed rapidly in Jiangnan, especially after Chen Zhao cleared up the law and order in Jiangnan.
Therefore, driven by the three major trading companies, the influx of large merchants from the north and the south caused the entire Jinmenwei to boil all of a sudden. Many people did not have stock in hand, and the goods would not arrive until half a month or a month later.

But the business opportunities are endless. Merchants from the north and the south communicated with each other in teahouses, inns, and in various places, and reached some intentions first. Many people calculated that although they had not seen the cash, this time it was not in vain. It must be Get rich.

Many boat shops along the canal were originally open for business at the end of March, but now they are all open early. The merchants in the vicinity are rushing to book ships for their own goods, so as not to be unable to leave in time.

There are many shops along the canal, which can already be said to be crowded. Many wealthy merchants who came to Jinmen Weicheng for the first time saw that Jinmenwei is like a sea of ​​gold and silver, and they intend to open shops here.

Needless to say, the shops along the canal have been snatched up by local merchants and people from the capital, so the shops beside the Haihe River are even more crazy.

Geographically speaking, the two sides of the Haihe River, which connects the sea and the canal, are even more golden treasures. What's even more rare is that the shops on the shore are well-organized, there are people laying smooth roads, and there are warehouses and storage yards that have been prepared long ago. Even the coolies for loading and unloading have been prepared long ago.

What's more convenient is that the shops and facades here can be rented, and there is no need to buy them all at once. After all, it is the first time for everyone to come here to test the waters. Many things are still uncertain, and it would be too risky to invest heavily. This rental is just as well as the intention, but all the good locations have been rented out, and there are too many monks left, and the rents of the shops in the back rows have been called sky-high prices, not to mention.

So the futures of the big week version started, and Jinmen became more prosperous.

Jinmen is prosperous, but the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion in the capital is deserted.
