Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Zhangjiakou. Whether it is Jiangnan merchants, Huizhou merchants or Mongolian tribes on the grasslands, if you want to do business in Zhangjiakou, you must obtain the consent of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce. If this road is not open, in Zhangjiakou  No one will do business with you. This is an iron rule that all Zhangjiakou businessmen know. No one in Zhangjiakou has dared to challenge the authority of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce for so many years. However, no one can say for sure about things in the world. The emergence of Longchang Company broke the  Under the premise of not notifying the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce, they set up a stage in the horse market. Rumors are also rampant that they directly want to intervene in Zhangjiakou's most important business, horses. After so many years of development, Zhangjiakou has become a frontier place.  The main trading place was the main place for trade between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia. The methods of trade were also quite diverse. Mongolian cattle, sheep, and furs have always been very important goods. But in all trade, the most important thing has always been horses.  Regardless of the value of a single product or the quantity sold, horses have always been the most important cargo in Mongolia. They exchanged horses for their daily necessities, such as iron pots, salt and other necessary things. In the past, people came and went at the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce.  It was very rare that no one stopped at the door. Without the usual people coming and going, this place became an ordinary house, and even looked a little bleak. In the hall, the eight heads of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce were all sitting here, with faces on their faces.  Their expressions were very ugly. After pondering for a moment, Fan Yongdou, who was sitting on the main seat, slowly raised his head, glanced at the person next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Tian Shenglan, you just came back from the capital.  What is the details of Longchang? " The person who was asked was a middle-aged man in his forties. He sighed softly and said helplessly: "Shopkeeper Fan, although Tian has just graduated from  When I came back from the capital, I knew a little about the Longchang, but I didn¡¯t know the real details. Not only Tian didn¡¯t know, there were also many people in the capital who wanted to know the details of the Longchang, but so far there is still no information.¡± It seems  Tian Shenglan's words were already expected. There was no surprise on Fan Yongdou's face. He frowned slightly and said, "Tell me what you know! Let everyone understand!" It seems that he admires Fan Yongdou very much.  , Tian Shenglan did not refute, just pondered for a moment, and then said: "The imperial court attacked the Donglin Party, but it did not implicate the merchants from Jiangnan, but it did involve a large number of smuggling merchants from Liaodong. At this time, the Longchang had just  He began to rise to prominence and took over all the original business of these merchants. In the past, many people who had been eyeing this piece of meat failed to succeed. Tian knew that the original Fengyue Tower was wanted to be taken over by the Minister of Rites, but he did not succeed, but there was no news.  News, it is obvious that the people behind the Longchang are very extraordinary." Everyone in the room listened attentively. Although they were the well-deserved overlords in Zhangjiakou, there were no two or three who did not dare to go to the Liangshan Longchang. Since they dared to make such a big show  If you come to Zhangjiakou, you must have someone to rely on. Tian Shenglan glanced around the room and then said: "At the beginning, someone also secretly checked the Longchang No., but there was not much information about the owner of the Longchang No.  I found out some information that the apparent owner of the Longchang was the Fang family. This was originally a small business mainly engaged in the silk business. After being jointly suppressed by Jiangnan Silk, it was already dying, but miraculously  He turned around, and soon after that, he created the Longchang Hao. Later, someone wanted to investigate again, but before he could do anything, his house was ransacked!  " Sighing softly, Tian Shenglan said rather helplessly: "Longchang Hao is already an untouchable business in the capital. No one goes back to that brow. Some time ago, the imperial court conducted a thorough investigation of the palace procurement.  Merchants were once again implicated. A Longchanghao replaced the status of these merchants and became a serious imperial merchant." The people in the room looked at each other. The Ming Dynasty had seen many merchants who could supply the palace for many years, but such a company  It is rare that Longchang Company can do this, which is not easy in itself. "After this incident, Longchang Company is unparalleled in the capital. No merchant is their opponent. Longchang Company  Their methods are rarely clever, and they also adopt the method of pulling one by one. Longchang Company always cooperates with those princes and nobles in their transactions, and almost no one refuses. In other words, Longchang Company can find the right one every time.  This further illustrates the difference between Longchang Company." Tian Shenglan told everything he knew, and then sighed softly. "The mood of the people in the room seemed to be low, and everyone frowned.  , Fan Yongdou, who was obviously very distressed about the matter of Longchang Company, looked calm and calm. He put down the teacup in his hand and said in a calm tone: "Don't be like this, everyone. This is Zhangjiakou. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot be strong."  Although the overwhelming snake Longchang is approaching fiercely,"But we have been operating here for many years, and we are not just vegetarians. If we want to break through the Zhangjiakou network, it depends on whether the Longchang has the ability." Naturally, the eight people were centered on Fan Yongdou. Seeing what he said, everyone was shocked.  He breathed a sigh of relief, but one person was still frowning, and the expression on his face was not very good. This person was Wang Dayu. He frowned slightly, and Fan Yongdou said unhappily: "Wang Dayu, what's the matter with you?  Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Dayu was slightly startled, but said rather worriedly: "Boss Fan, do you still remember what I told you that day?"  " Fan Yongdou was slightly startled, but his face suddenly became a little ugly. However, when he saw the other people looking at him, Fan Yongdou said nothing and nodded seriously. Fan Yongdou said in a deep voice: "Of course Fan remembers that matter.  You'd better tell everyone about it!  " Glancing at the people around him, Wang Dayu said helplessly: "When Longchang Company first came that day, I met a businessman from the capital. According to the businessman from the capital, Longchang Company came to Zhangjiakou this time.  But there will be big moves. He said that there are many people who want to do business with Longchang Company. This time, many businessmen want to get involved here. It may not be only Longchang Company that comes. We must face more than one Longchang Company.  So if we are not careful this time, I am afraid we will be doomed." Everyone's expressions changed. They knew very well what they were doing. The incident in Liaodong has not been over for long. It can be said that lessons are not far away. For those merchants, they also  It is very clear that most of them are not simple merchants. Behind each of them are countless powerful people. If they offend one or two, there may be room for change. Even if they are against Longchang Company, they don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal.  If businessmen from the capital come over, things will be difficult. They have been able to occupy Zhangjiakou for so many years because the wealthy families despise this frontier place. But they know in their hearts how much they make here every year. If this news is  If Longchang Company is revealed, I'm afraid countless people will flock to it. Fan Yongdou's expression is also ugly. He deeply understands what he is facing. Once upon a time in this family, he could call the wind and rain, and felt that no matter what happened  He didn't look down on him, but now Fan Yongdou felt powerless. It was just a Longchang company, and he already felt that Qianlu was out of skills. For a long time, Fan Yongdou's face changed and he said seriously: "This is not a competition, Longchang."  The cruiser is going to cut off our way of life. This is absolutely not allowed. No matter what the situation, we must persist to the end. We are not papery." Several people all nodded seriously. They all understood that the Longchang cruiser was coming with menacing force. If we retreat,  That means destruction. Glancing at Wang Dayu, Fan Yongdou said with a serious face: "We need their power. We need them to do many things that we can't see the light of. Wang Dayu, Ha Yuansheng has been contacted by you.  This time is no exception, but don¡¯t be too straightforward. The person the court wants to arrest must be in their hands. The reason why I haven¡¯t contacted them in the past few days is because of this, but I can¡¯t care about so much now. Go contact them.¡±  Nodding, Wang Dayu said in a deep voice: "I'll go there tonight. There won't be any problems there. After all, they will also need our help." After thinking for a moment, Fan Yongdou looked at Tian Shenglan and said seriously:  "Tian Shenglan, go see the county magistrate Zhang Rui and the commander Chen Qian, take the money, and find out the ins and outs of the matter. They are also ants on the hot pot now. I'm afraid they will treat us as a fallback, so what can you say?  To put it bluntly, after all, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We may have been at odds with each other before, but that is no longer the case." Tian Shenglan also nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "No problem!  I'm going tonight!  "    "be careful!  " After carefully admonishing Tian Shenglan, Fan Yongdou looked at another person and said with a serious face: "Wang Dengku, call all the merchants from the Chamber of Commerce in the evening, all of them who are on the same road as us. I have something to say.  I want to take a closer look at what Longchang Company is capable of. We are not easy to bully." Letting the strong wind blow against his face and looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Luo Sigong's face was very serious. He knew that he was not trying to arrest Huang Taiji again now.  , facing the entire force of Zhangjiakou. Feeling the strong wind that was constantly blowing, Luo Sigong gently spread his arms and murmured to himself: "The rain is about to come, the wind is all over the building, I, Luo Sigong, haven't killed anyone for a long time!  "(To be continued)
