[Comprehensive] Be with Ancient Celebrities

As long as there is a second person to know about the affairs of the world, it will never become a secret.Like Ayu who secretly reveals some clues, hehe, those who hear it are ordinary people even if they are Jinyiwei. Those who have relatives, friends, old friends, brothers and colleagues, you reveal one or two, I reveal one or two, it is only a few days At least three to five times more eyes were staring at that area.This is the result of Jin Yiwei's subconscious refraining from disclosing information after receiving secrecy training since he was a child. If it weren't for this, the eyes that were invested there would probably directly set them on fire.

And with so many eyes staring at it, you say, what else can't be found out?Now Jinyiwei and Dongchang are many times more active than before in the matter of tracking people and looking for braids.why?Because the emperor didn't trust those officials, he went to these two companies for any matters related to money, and asked them to supervise each other and collect money.And this house raid... No matter how clean and honest, there are unspoken rules, not to mention [-]% of the hard work of those who are in charge of the work is no different from the hard work of iron, and it can be properly shared by everyone.Even the accessories and purses of those who were taken away by ransacking are definitely a good income.

Under such circumstances, you said, what kind of mentality did they have when they received the news that they wanted to monitor and investigate a certain family?His eyes are shining, and he is as ready to move as a bandit who has caught a fat sheep. Perhaps this is the best adjective.If you add some news from certain channels in the capital... This action is highly motivated, and it is possible to participate in the local Jinyiwei thousands of households and hundreds of households who may get a profit, then they will immediately post money and launch Quite a few spies went into each of those houses, and they almost found out all the mouse holes.

However, they failed to enjoy the results in the first time through such operations.Emperor Wanli may have really copied his experience from his home, and this operation technique has become much more delicate.Like the matter of smuggling merchants at the border, he didn't do anything when he came up.Instead, they first told the frontier soldiers that they wanted to designate a place for mutual trading on the border.

Want to open deals exactly at the border?Wanli is quite confident in doing this. After all, Qi Jiguang is still alive at this time. Although Zhang Juzheng died in Wanli ten years ago, he was once demoted to Guangzhou for committing a villainous crime. But isn’t this Ayu’s appearance? , Isn't the old team left by Zhang Juzheng reused again, so Qi Jiguang also returned to the north. Although he is no longer the previous generation of Xifengkou, he still has a considerable deterrent effect.

Of course, even if he doesn't come back, the Qi family army left by the people is still stationed there, and the generals are still at the right time. In addition, Li Chengliang, who has raised his own self-esteem, is also in the north. Ha Chi is still there The Jurchens had just been unified, and now Mongolia was torn apart, and the tribes were vying for power with each other, and they were busy killing each other.In this way, from an overall point of view, the external environment in the north is actually quite relaxed at the moment. At least before the Battle of Saerhu, Da Ming was already able to protect himself by relying on deterrence.

So, at that time, the foreign generals in the Northwest still existed, and there were not many.Although small conflicts and small wars are frequent in the various regions of the Nine Frontiers and Mongolian and other tribes, there are indeed sporadic transactions with each other.In other words, if it weren't for such a political environment, those merchants would not have had the courage to do smuggling at the beginning, right? , I really can't do it.

Under such a situation, the imperial court showed a tendency to establish a formal trading place. Not to mention the frontier army thought it was okay, even the Mongolian ministries in the north also thought it was quite good, and even many small tribes that were close to each other still did it. When I heard the news, I came over to help build it --- well, I built the city at the beginning, it looked a bit eye-catching, and besides, who knows if the emperor will change his mind, right, so at the beginning, it was really a fence like a fence just a place.

With such a first step, it is really convenient for ordinary people around this mutual market. I don’t know how much it is. There are even people who go to the southern provinces to collect old clothes and other materials and ship them there. Just to exchange some more sheep, so that they can be sold at a good price near the capital.Nowadays, who doesn't know that the nobles in the capital eat hot-boiled mutton?

The common people are happy, the business is naturally booming, and the business is booming, dear, can those merchants who originally relied on smuggling be happy?Although they sell things that ordinary people dare not sell, such as food, such as salt, such as ironware, etc., how many times can they go a year?No matter how good the price is, that's all right. Daily necessities, such as tea, cloth, etc., are the bulk of their steady stream of water.

And now?Heck, most of this business was robbed by a group of Kuhaha, and they traded in such a place where the court is justified and there is no need to take any risks. What do you think they are like?What's more terrible, because of this, their previous high prices were unreasonable. Those single-minded Mongolians thought that they were all profiteers and their prices were inflated?Hehe, really, it was smuggling back then, and the caravan had to pay a price to come out, isn't that the cost?

Merchants are suffering and cannot tell, what can they do?Hurry up, find those officials who you sponsored and made friends with. Those merchants in the southeast can push the sea ban for so many years, why can't they succeed?No matter how bad the officials in the north are, they will always follow suit.

It's a pity, they don't know, there are so many eyes staring at them, especially Emperor Wanli, who is just waiting for them to move, how can they know how many relationships they have, right?How does Fudong know how many officials are involved?So, this place has just started to work hard, and the list over there has flowed into the palace one step earlier, and put it on the desk of Emperor Wanli.

"Hehe, sure enough, this string of grasshoppers has really long hands. A merchant can actually get in touch with the servant of the household department. This is not an ordinary capable person."

The more he looked, the more angry Emperor Wanli became, but he turned his head to look at the exchange transaction figures he had just received, and tried his best to suppress the anger.Although he doesn't want to let go of any of these, it's just that the house raids have been a bit ruthless in recent years, and the sequelae are also very obvious, that is, everything has a relationship with the merchants. This series of copying can easily affect the local people's livelihood.So now he has also learned how to take it easy when doing things, thinking about using the mutual market to slowly erode, so that the whole business of making money can be smoothly taken over from these people, instead of destructively flipping the table all at once.

"So, those in the middle, this, this, and this, the ones who are the same, are arrested first, embezzling military expenses, reselling arms, for these crimes, they will be arrested and interrogated, and their attention will be distracted first. Let’s expand the mutual market over there, let Jin Yiwei and the others stand out, and organize a few larger business groups to sell sheep and cattle, you know how to do it?”

Emperor Wanli looked sideways, and the clever Zhang Cheng over there immediately replied with a smile:

"Hey, Your Majesty, this is a good thing for them to earn money. How could they not know how to do it, but you are partial, why don't we have a share in the East Factory, no matter how bad it is, there is the Imperial Horse Supervisor, These are all good players who move livestock."

"Okay, I know you are also greedy, go ahead, as long as you don't grab it, people will see the joke, how to divide it is up to you, remember, let the Mongolians over there feel that those merchants have nothing to do with them Take care of yourself, or this mutual market is the best, understand?"

"Understood, why this hot-boiled mutton is so popular now, even if you don't make it deliberately, the quantity will definitely not be small, no matter how bad it is to put such a batch in the south, you can eat as much as you want."

What Zhang Cheng said was quite confident. How many people are there in Ming Dynasty and how many people in Mongolia?It is estimated that only a few provinces in the north are enough to eat the sheep of the entire Monan Mongolia, which is not a big difference.

Just like what Zhang Cheng thought, he just made a statement here, saying that there are cheap sheep, and there is no need for Jin Yiwei to transport them outside. As soon as they eat here, those cattle dealers who have something to do with them come to the door by themselves. , It’s just a change of hands, and I’ve made a lot of money. The silver that was donated to the palace for Emperor Wanli’s internal treasury alone was no less than 5 taels. You said how easy this business is, how easy it is to do.

At the same time, Emperor Wanli's current approach is indeed quite effective. The number of transactions here is increasing day by day, but the merchants over there are terrified and have no time to pay attention to it. Why?Because of the case, several people suddenly disappeared on my family's network. Even though the charges sound like they have little to do with them, but this old saying is good, if it affects the whole body, can they not be afraid of being deeply involved?I'm afraid that if something bad gets involved, it will fall into Jin Yiwei's hands, sweating all over his head, busy trying to find someone.

So, this series of actions is obviously not small, but it seems quite calm.The only thing that has changed... I guess it is the clothing store and the leather goods store, because recently, the price of sheepskin has dropped one after another, from one penny to 80 cents.Oh, by the way, the butcher shop was also affected, because the mutton that was originally 13 renminbi a catty rose to 16 renminbi, then suddenly fell to 10 renminbi, and there is still a downward trend.

The skin and the meat will benefit the most from the common people, because in the past cotton was expensive, and it cost about [-] yuan per catty, which is the worst. Yellow brass is rarely used, and it needs to be used to make a padded jacket. Baiwen, what about now?One-jin items such as sheepskin jackets began to appear in ordinary people's homes.

Don't look at the fact that it seems to be the same, but leather is leather, and the grades are displayed here. Look, even the people around Ayu's house are wearing this leather jacket one by one now.

"Buy directly from the north, this leather is cheaper, look, it's snow white, it looks good, guess how much it is? 50 yuan a piece, two yuan can make a short jacket, you say, don't you like it?" ? My uncle left this trip, and everyone in my family got one, and my mother said that I won’t have to worry about winter clothes for two or three years.”

Wang Ergui's uncle is a member of the Jinyiwei who went to the north this time to do the cattle and sheep business. They are used to plucking geese, even the bottom ones, and none of them are empty-handed. Not only did they bring them back. Silver also brought back a large amount of leather, which is one of the reasons why the price of leather in the market has dropped.Because of their big purchases, the soldiers in the capital also saw a new way of making money. Many soldiers from various guards no longer stared at the news that they didn't know when they would fill up the vacancies. Started to pull the relationship in groups and started to rub the way of Jin Yiwei and started to sell leather.

This person, as long as he moves, in the absence of natural disasters and man-made disasters, no one will really starve to death. Not only will he not starve to death, but he will also stir up prices in the capital, enrich the market, and make the entire capital seem full of The sheep with sheepskin is angry.

Do you think the emperor knows about this situation?That's for sure, Jin Yiwei has made such a big sum, it's impossible to say nothing, right?It's just that the emperor didn't really care much about this, or in other words, he didn't pay much attention to it. He had no idea about the market economy, and on the contrary thought it was a trivial matter.

But this matter was seen in Ayu's eyes, but it was very different. He saw the whole north, and his dependence on the south and northwest cotton markets was reduced. Hopes for economic prosperity in the North.

"Where did I let you get the wool? Did you take it?"

"I've collected it, and some of them asked, can this really weave cloth? If not, it's actually quite good to make felt. This time I went to the tent where they lived in the Mongolian, and said that if it was cleaned, it should be done more carefully. , being a cloak can actually block the wind, and it sounds reasonable to me, what do you think?"

Clothes made of wool are originally a piece of window paper. In the past, because I saw a lot of felt, I felt that this thing was rough, and maybe I could only do this. Now let Ayu be so little, so open-minded, and have all kinds of ideas. Just come out, don't talk about it, many people think it is feasible to make a cloak.

"Why not, it looks good to me, let's go, the yard over there is ready, let those craftsmen try it, if the things that used to be burned on the grassland in the past can really be made, then we can make a lot of money in the future , how much can be sold."

Everyone is very enthusiastic about making money. As soon as Ayu said here, a group of people over there followed. In this situation, Emperor Wanli, who happened to come out and wanted to listen to the sufferings of the people, caught up again.

"Ayu, Ayu, what are you doing... let's go and have a look together."

Well, this business, it seems, can only be done once again. With such an immediate boss who is looking for money, Ayu feels that building a family business is really a very difficult job.Well, I have to thank others for their trust. With so many people, they didn't forget to gather the crowd to think about it. This is unlucky.
