Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The other seven companies, not only had to pay the tax for the Wang family, but also lost their share of the goods!

This is not actually the case!

The other seven received actual tax credits of NT$300 million.

What is spent is materials...

The knowledge here is huge!

Not to mention having a dark heart, even if you are a saint, you only need the Eight Families to manipulate the market once and drive up prices a little bit...

Result: Only 400% of the money - 1300 million taels - can be spent to fill the [-] million tax hole!

If you were a little less saintly - you don't even need 100 million cash to fill the 1300 million hole!

A more routine operation - using non-food materials to offset the account.

As long as the Eight Families play this, they only need to spend hundreds of thousands of silver!

For example, the cost of a gun is two to three taels of silver. Considering the relationship between the Eight Families and the court officials, it is normal to sell it for 100 taels!

This is why the other seven are willing to accept this allocation!

In other words, what they actually spent was only 1000 million in cash, plus supplies that would be deducted from the tax after a certain period of time...

With this distribution among the Eight Families, no party would suffer at all!

But, it’s different now!

Zhu Youjian, the sixth son, asked Zheng Hongkui and Huang Degong to buy grain in large quantities in Jiangnan.

As a result, in Jiangnan today, the originally low food prices have steadily increased.

He also asked Founder to sell all kinds of materials at low prices, causing the prices of food products for people's livelihood in Jiangnan to drop sharply!

In this way, according to the current selling prices of various goods in Jiangnan...

Even if the Eight Families were able to fill such a big hole, the cost would still be huge!

Such a pincer attack from inside and outside - even if Huizhou merchants can escape...

Eight big families have shrunk by at least three times!

It may not be possible to pay off the debt...

Once you actually do it...

I'm afraid even the stores in various places will have difficulty maintaining...

As for Wang, because it occupies a larger share, its assets will shrink even more!

This is also based on the premise that they can get rid of the goods smoothly!

With Founder Hua returning again and a large amount of Handu supplies being dumped in Jiangnan - can the Eight Families still get rid of it?

Historically, in the late Qing Dynasty, foreign goods were rampant in Jiangnan, and the local gentry suffered heavy losses. The answer has been given...

……

Wang Ranming's face turned pale:

"What did Jiangyou's wealthy family say?

Are they willing to eat our goods? "

Wang Ranming became anxious.

This is the last retreat for Huizhou merchants!

Regardless of the heavy losses, get rid of these goods as soon as possible - only in this way can the Eight Families barely survive...

"master!"

The butler looked miserable:

"Yuan Jixian gave way to the trade route...

Businessmen from Handu, led by Hanjiang merchants, have entered Jiangxi!

The wholesale price given to them by the Hanjiang store is only one-third of our wholesale price...

Sir!

Why would anyone want our goods?

Unless we can get it cheaper, but in this case, even the mortgage debt of the property will not be enough to repay..."

"My lord!

Not only did the Jiangxi businessmen break up, but even the Zhejiang businessmen who had already reached an agreement earlier did not want our goods!

and also……

Didn't Mr. Zhu go to Guangdong and Guangxi to talk to Guangdong businessmen...

Businessmen from Guangdong and Guangxi have a large market share in Nanyang. As long as they are willing to take over, our goods will not be a problem!

But Zuo Liangyu, that bitch..."

The chief steward looked sad:

"That bitch Zuo Liangyu went crazy before leaving Guangdong and Guangxi——

He slaughtered all the wealthy families in Guangdong and Guangxi who refused to surrender to him!

The remaining Cantonese businessmen have already hooked up with Zuo Liangyu...

They hitched a ride on Emperor Ming's chariot and don't want our goods...

master!

Our goods are in your hands! "

The big steward looked sad...

The Eight Families have reached a desperate situation!

Wang Ranming was in agitated mood and said in disbelief:

"No, we Hui people control so many stores and spend a lot of money to spread the goods!

Let’s sell it slowly ourselves!

No matter how powerful Fang Zhenghua is, his Hanjiang business name will be limited to Fucheng after all! "

"My lord!"

The chief steward cried:

"Might the master have forgotten that the merchants in Handu have already developed.

Today, they have followed the footsteps of Emperor Ming and have established a firm foothold in Huguang and Henan.

Even Emperor Ming strongly supported Li Zicheng.

In order to repay the Ming Emperor, Li Zicheng suppressed the Shanxi merchants in the territory, and used the power of the Dashun government to open the way for the Handu merchants...

This caused Handu merchants to open shops all over Shanxi and Shaanxi.

All our stores in Shanshan were inspected by Li Zicheng!

In addition, the Shandong side was also under the control of Emperor Ming.

Huang Degong supported Handu merchants and constantly suppressed the market of our Hui merchants.

Although they were not inspected, they were ordered to leave the country within a time limit...

Master!

We have also lost the land of Qilu!

And Beizhili...

The Qing court is not a human being. They said they were good, but they all changed their minds!

They not only killed ordinary people, but also robbed all our shops.

Even our guys have become slaves...

Master!

We in Jiangnan have supported a white-eyed wolf!

Master!

The stores of our Huizhou merchants are already limited to Jiangnan! "

"That's it……"

The butler slapped his thigh hard, his face covered with snot and tears:

“Those small and medium-sized businessmen in Jiangnan have also signed contracts with Founder.

They buy goods from Handu..."

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Ranming:

"No, there is still time. They don't have enough transportation capacity. We just need to move the goods quickly.

Even if it is sold at a low price, part of the capital can be recovered!

As long as we have this cash, although we have suffered heavy losses, we can still stand firm..."

Before Wang Ranming finished speaking, he was interrupted again by the chief steward:

"Master!"

They don't have many caravans dedicated to transporting goods, but Founder does!

The Zheng family's ships are all in cahoots with Fang Zhenghua!

When it comes to transport capacity, who can compare with the Zheng family who dominates the sea?

The goods bought by the small businessmen were handled by the Hanjiang Trading Company to help them transport the goods to various counties.

Today we...

Even the basic base of Jiangnan has fallen into the encirclement and suppression of Hanjiang merchants!

Our goods are out of hand! "

"puff!"

Wang Ranming spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"master!"

The butler was shocked.

Wang Ranming looked lonely and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

He sat on the chair dejectedly:

"You should go out first, I want to be quiet..."

"Master, I'd better go find Fang Zhenghua and shake hands with him to make peace!

Only he can make Hui merchants survive..."

The steward suggested a final solution to the siege...
