Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 794: : Helping Zhou is “abuse”
But Princess Shaoyi made it clear that the silk business in Liancheng was between her and the Xie Mansion. The Xie Mansion had connections along the southeast coast, plus Princess Shaoyi’s reputation. Who wouldn’t have the eyes to offend them?
As long as Princess Shaoyi keeps her word, no merchant will dare to accept the silk from the four families.
What can the four people do?
Can King Wu Mu not accept Princess Shaoyi’s silk?
Even if King Wu Mu refuses to accept it, Princess Shaoyi has ships and channels, and she can still sell the silk from retail investors. The four major families can't do anything to her.
Can the four people still smash the silk they worked so hard to raise in their hands?
If you want to ship goods, you need to rely on Princess Shaoyi.
The price will then be decided by Princess Shaoyi. If she wants you to make a profit, you will make a profit. If she wants you to lose, you will have to swallow your blood even if your teeth are knocked out.
That's not what's scary.
Rather!
Princess Shaoyi’s move was still on the side of benevolence and righteousness. It not only gave the refugees a way to make a living, but also saved the four families from losses. What else could the four families be dissatisfied with?
If the four major families dare to stand in the way of what the people want and hope for, they will be drowned by the spit of the people, and killed by the words and writings of the literati.
Princess Shaoyi took down the four major families with one move.
Master Li understands, and Master Li also understands that Princess Shaoyi is forcing him to express his position. What else can Master Li do in spite of King Wu Mu's gloomy gaze?
Master Li could only say: "The princess is dedicated to the people, and her subordinates will give her full support."
Yu Youyao smiled: "With Master Li's words, I feel relieved."
The four families may not take Mr. Li seriously, and she does not expect Mr. Li to play any role.
Uniting retail investors to fight against the entrenched gentry will inevitably have a certain impact on local commerce and economy. The four major families have deep roots in Liancheng, and their connections are not to be underestimated.
With the support of the government, what she does will be justified and logical.
Many gentry in the north, together with local officials, jointly sued King Zhou Li.
She is a first-class princess who is a dignified Yi Congshengzun.
Even if the four families deal with her, they have to go through the government first.
Master Li bid farewell to Princess Shaoyi and left the inn.
As soon as he left, Xia Tao came over: "The guard guarding the door said that after Mr. Li entered the inn, there were several waves of people snooping outside the inn."
Yu Youyao said quietly: "Don't bother."
There is no need for her to be condescending and mess with the four major families.
After Xia Tao retired, only Yu Youyao and Yin Huaixi were left in the living room.
Yu Youyao looked at Yin Huaixi: "The drought has affected most of the northwest region, and Shaanxi and Shanxi are particularly serious. These two areas are vast and have a very dense population. They are also the most prosperous areas for agriculture, industry and commerce in Youzhou," she said with an expression Some hesitation: "You take in so many refugees, food..."
The drought is more serious in the three provinces of Beijing, the three northwest provinces, and the three northeastern provinces. The situation is not too serious.
But most of the supplies in the north come from Shaanxi and Shanxi.
Right now, Shaanxi and Shanxi do not produce food. The three northeastern provinces are sparsely populated and have underdeveloped agriculture, so they are poor in materials. Yin Huaixi has taken in so many refugees, and food is a problem.
Sweet potatoes from one county can only solve urgent needs.
Yin Huaixi could not use the military rations he had hoarded to help the refugees, not because he was reluctant, but because there were wars in the north, and he had to maintain the needs of the You army first.
Arranging the refugees to raise silkworms seems to be a way to survive, but when the refugees exchange silk for food, where does the food come from?
Shaanxi and Shanxi were so severely affected that even the land was barren. Sweet potatoes must not be able to grow. They can only be grown in the three northeastern provinces, but there is very little arable land in the three northeastern provinces.
The North seems safe.
But after Yu Youyao walked around Liancheng, he already understood the hidden dangers behind the stability.
Unless Yin Huaixi wants to...
Yu Youyao suddenly thought of Prince Liang who was attacking the Xie Mansion. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his long eyelashes drooped, covering up all the turbulent waves.
Yin Huaixi played with the yellow glazed jade dragon ring in his hand and said casually: "The largest Baotong bank in the Zhou Dynasty was run by the northern gentry headed by Shanshan. With Shanshan as the center, they established a bank in the north He formed a huge business gang and dominated the northern border, which even the imperial court found difficult."
Business gangs are a large network of alliances centered on a region, with blood ties and hometown friendships as ties. A large-scale business gang covers a region, and almost all established merchants can mobilize together. whole body.
Shanxi and Shaanxi are separated by a river. Since ancient times, there has been a good story about "the good relationship between Qin and Jin".
In the early days of the Zhou Dynasty, in order to consolidate border defense and resist foreigners, the imperial court implemented a series of national policies such as salt development, tea and horse trading, cotton cloth conscription, and cloth and horse trading in the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas to strengthen the border and defend against foreigners.
Businessmen in Shanshan and Shaanxi areas seized this opportunity and used the two major trade routes in the northwest region, the Northwest Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road, to transport tea, sell salt, and sell cigarettes, and formed the Shanshan-Shaanxi Alliance.
Because merchants in the northern border had many and wide businesses across the region, the giant merchants from the two places jointly opened Baotong Bank to facilitate trade in multiple regions.
This was a powerful force that dominated the Zhou Dynasty. The imperial court dared to take action against the Xie Mansion, which was entrenched along the southeast coast and controlled maritime trade, but it did not dare to provoke the northern merchant gangs.
This is the reason for the tragedy of King Zhou Li’s family.
The Dog Emperor took advantage of the case of King Zhou Li to massacre the northern gentry, which also had the reason to weaken the power of the northern gentry.
Thinking of the Xie Mansion fleeing Quanzhou in embarrassment like a bereaved dog, and the scene in the nightmare where the Xie Mansion was driven to a dead end step by step by Prince Liang and Song Mingzhao!
"Are you going to attack the gentry?" Yu Youyao was a little impatient, but she couldn't accuse him of anything, because what she was doing now was to help Zhou "abuse". ~IndoMTL.com~ Perhaps, she understands Yin Huaixi better than she imagined.
After entering Liancheng, she vaguely guessed the clues when she heard that King Wu Mu was teaching the refugees how to raise silkworms. Later, she walked around the streets of Liancheng and already had a plan in mind.
Without even discussing with Yin Huaixi, he handed Mr. Li a name card and invited Mr. Li to come and pay his respects.
Yin Huaixi didn't need to speak, she had already started to do what he wanted to do.
This is a long-standing tacit understanding.
Yin Huaixi neither denied nor admitted: "I set up a refugee camp in the north to prevent the refugees from causing chaos and maintain the stability of the north. It is my duty to maintain the stability of the north. After all, there are often disturbances from foreign enemies in the north, and only by fighting against internal forces can we Anwai, the Northern Territory is sparsely populated, poor in materials, low in productivity, and short of food. Teaching the refugees silkworm-raising techniques is also a hope that they will take root in the Northern Territory and have another way of survival in the future."
Yu Youyao pursed her lips lightly: "You want the gentry to accept the refugees and help them settle down in the north."
