Daming: Ascend to the throne as the emperor, start the game with land gods

Page 26

Sun Chengzong stood with his eyes closed and held his sword.

Seems to be waiting for something.

None of the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army could understand what he meant, they could only look at this ruthless man walking out of the palace with a sword.

The commander was notified.

It's okay for the leader to read it.

Governor Sun holds the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand.

Step up.

Even if he was cut off, no one dared to complain for himself.

Without any choice.

The imperial guards stared at each other, and accompanied the old governor in the snow.

The reflection of the sundial is in the middle.

Sun Chengzong suddenly opened his eyes, the eyes flashed brightly, raised the Tianzi sword high, and said coldly:

"Where is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?"

"The commander of the Royal Forest Army, Tong Yuan, is here!"

Commander Tong was agitated, ran over quickly, and knelt down on one knee towards Tianzijian.

My heart is beating wildly.

Governor Sun's posture.

I always feel like I want to cut something.

"Leave the Firearms Camp, Shenji Camp, and the rest of the camps, follow me!"

"Yes!"

Commander Tong did not hesitate, and the military order was issued immediately.

The entire Imperial Forest Army was divided into one large and one small.

The smaller ones are the Firearms Camp and the Shenji Camp.

The big ones are twelve battalions, including Fenwuying, Yaowuying, and Xianwuying, with nearly 3000 people.

This.

is a real number.

And it is the most elite soldier of the country.

Even the iron-blooded men who confronted the post-gold iron cavalry head-on and did not lose the wind.

Have a legion that wages a small war.

"Target, Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants stationed outside the city!"

"Impressive order!"

……

There are countless merchants in the country and dynasty.

There are naturally many business gangs formed.

But there are only three that can be called a big business gang. .

Chao, Jin, Hui.

Trendy merchants.

Mainly distributed in the coastal areas of Chaoshan, the business is to sell domestic porcelain, tea and other items by shipping, and then exchange them for gold, silver, jewelry, spices and other items, earning several times, or even dozens of times of profits.

This dynasty banned the sea.

Obviously.

These transactions are not tolerated by the laws of the country.

But "people die for money, birds die for food." Some people are still doing it through certain channels.

As the business grew bigger and bigger, these people formed Chaoshang.

The wealth under control is incalculable.

Even if it is arrogant.

It is also rarely possible to intervene in domestic business.

This also means the other two major business gangs.

Shanxi merchants are merchants from the land of Xishan, who started their business by mining and selling coal.

Then he started businesses such as salt industry and ticket office, and then gained a firm foothold in the clothing, food, housing and transportation industry by relying on the technique of spreading coins.

Gradually, Shanxi merchants have a saying: wealthy merchants are the best in the world, and they are not rich unless they have hundreds of thousands.

Wealth can rival a country.

There are rumors that Shanxi merchants had close contacts with Houjin, and used Zhangjiakou as a base to go back and forth between inside and outside the customs, engaged in trade activities, transported materials for Houjin, and even passed on documents and information.

pity.

No definite evidence has been found.

Hui merchants.

The business is relatively elegant. More than [-]% of Guochao's high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and silk pawns come from its merchant gang.

Relying on these elegance, Huizhou merchants are deeply loved by dignitaries and dignitaries, and they have forged a deep "friendship".

Beyond elegance.

Huizhou merchants have not left behind such vulgar things as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

In the two major industries of salt and rice, they have been fighting openly and secretly with Shanxi merchants for hundreds of years, and they have not lost the wind.

Wealth is not weak, but the official background is deeper.

Facing these two behemoths.

Chaozhou merchants wisely did not compete, and engaged in smuggling with peace of mind.

Shanxi Merchants, Huizhou Merchants, two large merchant groups with commercial activities all over the country, must have a station in such an important place as the capital.

Ten miles south of the city.

The two adjacent warehouses with a size of [-] mu fully demonstrated the aura of the overlord.

Let alone whether the goods can fill the warehouse, the momentum alone is enough to bluff.

Facing Sun Chengzong and the three thousand Imperial Forest Army.

The shopkeepers of the two companies in Beijing University were very enthusiastic, but their eyes were not looking at people, but more like looking at a big fat sheep that was slaughtered.

"Meet the governor!"

Cao Sugong, the treasurer of Huizhou Merchants in Beijing University, stood at the front and introduced: "This is Huang Yunfa, the treasurer of Shanxi Merchants in Beijing University!"

"Meet the governor!"

Shopkeeper Huang cupped his hands and did not express dissatisfaction with his old opponent showing his face.

At this moment.

People who often deal with officials.

To negotiate a higher price.

No matter how hostile Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants are, they will not be troubled by silver.

"Ah."

Sun Chengzong's eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light in his eyes was flickering, and he hummed a word through his nose.

The two big shopkeepers didn't care. Officials with a worse temper than this one have seen it, small scenes.

Officials, it's normal to look down on businessmen.

"Your Excellency, let's go into the house and talk?"

"No, it's fine here!"

"Your Excellency is really quick to talk, so let's chat here. You are here for food, right?"

Shopkeeper Cao Da complimented him, seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't mean to be polite, so he simply went straight to the point.

"Ok!"

"There are so many victims in Jiliao and so much food is needed, it is really not easy to raise it in a short time."

According to the usual practice, Shopkeeper Cao sells miserably first, and then changed the subject: "But as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and it is possible to turn the impossible into possibility. It depends on what price you offer, Mr. Governor. gone."

"What kind of price do Huizhou merchants want?"

Sun Chengzong quietly pressed his hand on the Tianzi Sword, and asked calmly.

"As soon as the governor entered the capital, he went to the palace non-stop to meet the saint, and then came here. His love for the people is really touching."

Treasurer Cao delivered the compliment, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, his face collapsed, and he sighed: "In such a hurry, the Governor must not know the price of food in the capital, and the news of the disaster victims in Jiliao spread to the capital.

The common people were worried that there would be nothing to eat, so they hoarded food one after another. The price of food had more than doubled before, so many people couldn't buy it. "

"You don't need to tell me this. The governor just wants to know that the cabinet plans to purchase [-] million catties of grain for this disaster relief. Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants can raise it as quickly as possible, and at what price?"

"The governor is a great hero."

Shopkeeper Cao Da showed a smile, and shrewdly said: "Caomin still said that if you have money, food is not a problem.

If the Governor-General buys it at the price of three qian silver for a hundred catties of grain, the two major merchant gangs of Shanxi and Huizhou will arrive in no more than half a month for the first batch of grain.

If the Governor-General buys a hundred catties of grain at a price of seven qian qian, the two major merchant gangs of Shanxi and Huizhou will arrive in no more than ten days for the first batch of grain.

If the governor-general buys grain at the price of one tael per hundred catties of grain, the two major merchant gangs of Shanxi and Huizhou will arrive within three days for the first batch of grain.

May I ask, my lord governor, how to choose? "

One hundred catties of grain is three qian silver.

It is more than twice the original price of grain.

It's just that the price is reasonable, but the influx of disaster victims into the capital is just around the corner, and they can't wait for half a month.

One hundred taels of silver and six coins.

It is five times the original price of grain.

This already belongs to the lion's mouth wide open.

I haven't said in good faith that the grain will arrive in ten days.

real purpose.

It is one tael of silver and one hundred catties of grain.

It is eight times the original price of grain.

It's hard to make money for the country, so black-hearted!

"I choose, chop!"

Chapter 25 Collaborating with the enemy and treason, punish the nine clans

Cold light flashed.

Shopkeeper Cao Da suddenly felt that his sight had changed.
