When Jiuhu, the head of the Guanzhong Commercial Hall, finished his brief meeting, he quit with sweat; under the trembling expression, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
. Compared to the suffering Gao Yu, the economic committee member of the Upper Management Committee, the hurdle in front of him is finally over.
However, as a businessman who succeeded by relying on his unique insight and sufficient prudence, he knew that he had lost more than just a few words of accountability on the surface.
It's that simple; it may represent the opportunities and prospects that I have been deliberately thinking about in this new dynasty.
But if next, he cannot come up with a satisfactory statement, maybe he will lose more. When he thinks of this, he doesn’t feel very close to that.
Near, but the nephew who accepted his family's support did not fight.
Could it be that the support and assistance provided by his own family were not enough? It was so difficult for him to get into the system of the new dynasty, and he had such a "his own person" as an entry point.
". He never expected him to be able to use his public for personal gain or use it as aid, just to show his attitude towards the new dynasty's grace and contribution.
However, the nephew he had bestowed high hopes did the most short-sighted act, and almost destroyed everything he had worked hard and maintained under the management for a long time.
Once again; does he still expect his despised family to be able to make a serious official career
Otherwise, in the previous dynasties, although he was handed over for a while, he was known to be as pomp and vigorous as a prince, but in the final analysis, he was born as a merchant at the end of the five people; those
People just respect and care about his money and the network of relationships formed from it.
However, he didn't know in his heart, once he tried to climb the backing of Afu and was shaken and desolate in the battle between the ruling and the opposition, he would rush forward with this.
The wolves, tigers and leopards who share and eat, but will not be the slightest tenderness.
There is even no need for additional arrangements for the crime. A crime of helping the rebellious party is enough to make him completely unresolved; in the final analysis, they are not righteous or have a vain foundation.
The great merchants of China are nothing more than pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of the imperial court.
It would be okay if it was a peaceful year. Those who have been prominent in the power of generations will not be able to let the copper of "A Duwu" dirty their hands and tails, and eventually someone will have to replace them.
To make money. However, when the country is declining and the current situation is difficult, their wealthy merchants are the best scapegoats after killing them.
Therefore, after the great father Tian Lingzi and the jackal prime minister Lu, both showed signs of decline, he began to secretly arrange the retreat of himself and his family. After all, phase
For those who are greedy or poisonous, Zheng Tanglao, the prime minister of the world who is dedicated to his country and not afraid of slandering his reputation, is the most terrifying existence.
In the face of Father Baofu and the dignity of the country, such a crowned figure can hardly be bought and impressed; instead, in order to realize his ambitions and ideals,
However, he did not hesitate to use any price and means to use their humble and humble "end of the five people" as a stepping stone to display their ambitions.
Where, in the same clan Xishi tea merchant Wang Poxian, unbearable forehead pressure and forceful plundering from the big inner courage, and when his family went south; he also secretly did not
Don't help, otherwise, how could the other party easily take a family of young and old and escape into the thief state under the imperial rule of Shannan Dongdao
This is also his method of testing another way out, and it also leaves such an indelible kindness and the source of being recommended in the future. So, when the Huang Chao army moved westward
, And the imperial court was unable to maintain even the most basic decency and order at the critical moment,
He simply persuaded and bought the bad guys and sergeants who were sent to protect/monitor him with money and silk, and escorted him to the only survivor who used to maintain the facade.
The members of the clan abandon all their fixed industries and travel all the way south to Xiangzhou, which has changed hands.
Then, the many kindness and personal connections that he had painstakingly managed and prepared before, quickly realized at this time and became his rise and foothold in an unfamiliar environment.
Capital; even the prince was willing to retreat to the second place first, respecting him as the leader/head of the merchants in Guanzhong.
Compared with those businessmen who have no fixed homes or those who are confined to one city and one place, what are they most afraid of as these accomplished merchants? The most feared is chaos
world. That means that there are as many bandits and rebellious forces as possible, as well as the establishment of cards and tax collections everywhere, and even local separatist forces that can take arrogance and even kill people and overtake goods without mercy.
That also represents endless risks and desperate floating cost fluctuations. Therefore, as long as it is a force that can protect the environment and the people, even a group of bandits, soil thieves,
A humble background who started with legs; but as long as it can be negotiated and communicated, it means that it can continue to seek business opportunities and the possibility of benefits under the agreed costs and conditions.
But obviously since he came under the rule of the Taiping Army, Wang Jiuhu's refreshing surprises are not too much. This may be the most preferential force in the world for merchants.
Their preferential treatment of businessmen is not reflected in the separation of interests, and even more stringent laws and strict restrictions than other places.
However, the Taiping Army also opened up an irresistible new life path for these merchants’ homes; in addition to organizing tribal children and private armed forces to participate in overseas conquests
In addition, they can also conditionally open museums, study tours, examinations and admissions.
Isn't this the "Master of Sage" that is rare in the ages. Therefore, when the Taiping Army always made major moves, whether it was long-term and short-term military debt and official debt, or people’s livelihood construction, disasters
He would not be left behind when he tried to persuade him to recruit, or when it was a time for the help of the army to be transferred.
Don’t ask for the real acceptance or share, or even the real profit; just ask for the name Wang Jiuhu to be mentioned by everyone in the governor’s house from time to time.
Because of the well-known reasons, any name that can be linked to the thriving Taiping Governor Mansion is a natural wealth and reputation, even if it is from nothing.
Naturally, some people take money and goods to seek mutual benefit.
Of course, Wang Jiuhu’s pursuit is not so low-level and intuitive. He is more concerned about long-term management and coexistence, or how to better tie his own interests in the new dynasty.
Under the banner, they can play more positive and beneficial roles.
It’s a pity that the Taiping Army does not accept any misfortune that tends to sell officials, and it strictly limits the scale and upper limit of the corresponding private contribution; it must not exceed the declared net worth and wealth.
30% to one-half of the capital;
Therefore, any official honorary title, or originating from the status of the system, is extremely precious. For this reason, Wang Jiuhu is not left behind.
Yu Li assisted this nephew whose sister-in-law's family had been ruined, and left his old face to hire an assistant tutor from the large seminar room for private tutoring, so that it was easy to get to this point.
Although only the ninth-level household management experience (official officer rank), there is an infinite possibility of being transferred to the official position, and then released to the state, county or township official. But so
A good future, but he was ruined by the momentary greed of his small family background. How can people not sigh with grief
You know, even Wang Jiuhu, who started his business as a hawker liquor, has seen or heard of those who have been famous in Datang for a while, whether they are called "Duke Camel".
How did the predecessors such as Zou Fengchi, known as the "Thousand Zhang Ji", and Dou Yi of the first house in Dongshi, have no name in the future.
In the family’s children who don’t have the promise to entrust the family and rely on the family, even the wealth of wealth gathered in front of them will not be able to escape the wind and rain from the children’s and grandchildren’s hands.
The final result of making wedding dresses for others, and even making trouble for the family.
What's more ridiculous is that he tried his best to find out that the nephew said in the interrogation the reason for doing so. He actually wanted to make some quick money to "repay his uncle" for his support. This is even more so.
Being ridiculous is also heartbreaking. Even if Wang Jiuhu loses most of Chang'an's properties, does he still want his nephew to earn money and honor him
You know, since he returned to Chang'an City, he only relied on work for the displaced people in the city to get involved in the restoration of the burnt down houses in the East City.
The engineering projects belonging to the building are already full of profits;
Because what he paid was only the cheap rice and coarse cloth transferred from the south, but he had gained the expected management rights of several streets in the East City; however, he then transferred these rights
It should be distributed in Guannei guild halls. Naturally, some people are willing to take money and goods to undertake.
Therefore, in a short period of time, he has recovered most of his former family and more contacts, and he will also restore the home that he abandoned when he fled; they were all restored and renovated.
new. But the prerequisite for maintaining all this is his good relationship with the Taiping Governor and his reputation.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to come to the door to imploring, and temporarily persuade Gao Yu, who was also implicated, with his own interests, just to get a little bit of a chance to meet the general governor.
possibility. Because Wang Jiuhu had already thought very well at this moment.
As long as he can get such a chance to see him by the way, it doesn't matter whether he sees or not in the end. Because, it all means that as long as the king doesn't speak, no one will act rashly towards him, Wang Jiuhu, and do something out of the ordinary (falling down the well).
After all, as a wealthy former capitalist who left the customs and re-started in a different place, he will inevitably forge all kinds of competitors and even potential enemies in the process of expanding operations and fighting for support and benefits;
After all, nowadays, as the rule of the Taiping Army has become more and more extensive, in addition to the oldest qualified Lingdong-Guangfu Chamber of Commerce, there are still many from Jiangxi, Hunan, Jingnan, Liangzhe, Xuanshe, and even Xiajiang Road. The Chamber of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China follows the banner of Zhengtuo of the New Dynasty.
And these merchants in the customs who have the familiarity and convenient location, the first-to-earth style near the water and the terrace naturally occupy a lot of advantages and advantages. When they attract the attention of others, they will inevitably make him a potential target of public targets.
Of course, in addition to cutting off the involvement with this unusable nephew, he must also find a new way out in time to stop loss and help himself. Fortunately, when he supported this nephew, he also used his relationship to have contact and handover with a number of students in the same period.
Not only did he invite to come to recruit, but he also secretly funded several of the poor and distressed homes; among these people who have already taken to work, Wang Jiuhu also plans to choose a person with acceptable disposition and ambition. This will focus on making friends.
The current rank and position are not important anymore, what is important is the potential for long-term development and management; then, at the right time, he will pick up the daughters of the former officials who are raised in the backyard. Think of it as your daughter getting married.
Compared with Wang Jiuhu's full stomach, Gao Yu, as an economic committee member of the upper management committee, is even more concerned about gains and losses. He would rather the general governor be able to reprimand himself harshly, rather than simply take over and make him reflect on his own. .
Because the former also means that the matter is qualitatively related to this; while the latter represents more uncertainty and possibility. Or what else could he not make this king satisfied and assured
After all, before encountering the Taiping Army, he was just a trader who sold tea in Hunan, but unfortunately fell into trouble. After being rescued by the Taiping Army, he relied on his fairly solid tongue and smooth tactics to travel between the Taiping Army and the Rebels Between the various ministries, and all the way has become a key link connecting all parties.
And in the great changes in time after entering Chang'an, he also went through life and death several times but still persisted, and did his best to provide all kinds of internal news and sentiments to the Taiping Army in the south at the most critical moment.
During this process, he almost lost his life. He was also hijacked by those anti-revolutionary defenders, and even secretly subjected to torture and coercion, hoping to get feedback about the Taiping Army from him.
Therefore, after the Taiping Army finally entered the capital and took up the post of one of the few economic committee members in the upper management committee, he was still somewhat sloppy and slack, so that the people around him that he valued have undergone transformation. I didn't notice it, but instead wanted to plead and redeem for the other party.
Therefore, after the matter was finally turned out, he would inevitably be deeply affected, and even under the pressure of criticism and comments from the faint "virtue incompatibility" and "protection of shortcomings", he had to take the initiative to seek advice and plead guilt. Satisfactory.
And just as Gao Yu, who was full of thoughts, stepped on his mount, he saw a carriage without any signs and a faintly faintly fragrant fragrance (jasmine) wafting in the wind. (End of this chapter)
