Blood from Daming

Chapter 649 Special Economic Zone
In addition to merchants and individual customers from Daming and Mongolia, the merchants who trade in the Datong Special Economic Zone already have a group of regular merchants. These are all big merchants from Datong Prefecture, Shanxi, and Beijing. The local merchants represented by Xi are mainly Taiyuan and Xuanfu merchants in Shanxi, Luo Yangxing and others in the capital, a few merchants from Shaanxi, Beizhili, Henan, and Huguang, and there are shops receiving goods from several large tribes in Mongolia.

However, these are still small troubles in the Datong Special Economic Zone. They just collect some goods before the arrival of their own caravans. After their own caravans leave, they continue to sell the remaining goods. Just do some more profitable retail business.

In the Datong border trade, Xue Yun's Xue family is undoubtedly the most profitable at the end. The Xue family, Eunuch Zhang, Governor Zhao, and Li Zhifu are the largest merchants in the Datong Special Economic Zone. Har, Tushetuhan, Chechnya and even Tubo, Central Asia, Russia and other places, worthy of the name, are the richest merchants in Ming Dynasty, and they also have the most stocks in the Datong Special Economic Zone.

In addition, there are officials and businessmen such as Eunuch Zhang, Governor Zhao, and Li Zhifu. They themselves or their relatives control Datong's foreign trade and trade, enter and exit between Daming and Mongolia, and use their power to buy and sell to profit from it. It surpassed the dividends from the Datong Special Economic Zone and became a real official businessman of Daming.

In fact, people like Zhang Gonggong, Governor Zhao, and Li Zhifu knew more or less that Xue Yun was secretly colluding with the Mongolian Chahar Ha Rizhula tribe. However, the Mongolian army has arrived, and God knows which Mongolian army it is. Even if it is Harijula's troops, it may not be that Harijula's army will not rob, the worst is not to rob Xue's house, just rob other businessmen, and soon Xue Yun doesn't know what the hell has been talking about for more than a year. Can the Mongols buy his account?

Anyway, Eunuch Zhang, Governor Zhao, and Prefect Li expressed their views one after another, hoping that Xue Yun would send troops to protect the Datong Special Economic Zone, where Xue Yun pondered for a while before saying: "Cao Wenzhao, the newly appointed general soldier of Datong Town by the imperial court, is in Xuanfu. Isn't it a little overstepping for a deputy general to do so at the end?"

At this moment, there was no sound in the whole hall. Xue Yunxin said that everyone's thinking is still not unified. If you don't express your support clearly, Xue will not leave Datong City. Woke up without saying a word.

Although Eunuch Zhang, Governor Zhao, and Li Zhifu are in a hurry, they are all veterans in the officialdom. Judging from the attitudes of the people present, it is natural that Xue Jiajun's people will not come out to make a statement.

After everyone was silent for a long time, the local leader of the Datong Mansion, Commander Luo, lost his temper: "General Xue, you are the military and political leader of Datong Town, so you should be responsible to the army and people of Datong. I haven't heard of it, but now the court is full of fake news, and a few days ago, someone said that Lao Yu was going to be the chief soldier of Datong."

Commander Luo Guohui is also a huge beneficiary of the Datong Special Economic Zone. He not only has business and dividends in the Special Economic Zone, but also has many relatives and friends who are engaged in derivative industries of the Special Economic Zone, such as transportation, handling, security, domestic help, chores and other industries. , It also solved the way out of Ding Yu's life in the guard. Now Commander Luo is living a good life, thanks to the high prosperity of Datong's economy led by Xue Yun.

Moreover, Commander Luo is the one who has the closest collusion with Xue Yun in the dark. Naturally, he jumped out to carry the knife at this time. Soon, Commander Luo was a part of Qu Jiazhen, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town last time. The idea of ​​flying the eagle flag He was the one who came out, and now Commander Luo has no psychological burden at all to deal with Cao Wenzhao, the second commander-in-chief of Datong Town.

With Commander Luo as the head sheep, everyone let go a lot. Datong Lord Zhang Gonggong Zhang Shoucheng said: "Commander Luo is right. There are officials in the imperial court who pretend to be public servants for personal gain. General Xue, Nine Thousand Years Old Eunuch Wei doesn’t know about this matter, some people have acted recklessly and don’t care about Long Live and Nine Thousand Years, Nine Thousand Years will never agree.”

With Eunuch Zhang of the Supervising Army setting the tone, Governor Zhao and Prefect Li were already hooking up with Xue Yun, but literati are always timid and tend to follow the wind, but it is no problem to agree with Commander Luo and Eunuch Zhang , The two expressed that they would submit a memorial to defend Xue Yun's grievances, so that the civil officials unanimously stated that they would not accept Cao Wenzhao appointed by the court.

Generals Zhang Shen and Liang Shen had already made an agreement with Xue Yun, and immediately responded to everyone's opinions. In the end, only Yu San was left. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yu San felt so bitter. I am a person with only ears but no mouth, and I am not qualified to express my opinion on behalf of the Patriarch.

Yu San said embarrassingly: "My lords, the final general is only here to observe, and the Patriarch has to decide everything."

Commander Luo said bluntly: "It seems that your master is still determined, but it is too unkind for the old man to seek the position of his son-in-law. I am ashamed to be with him."

After hearing this, Yu San roared angrily: "Commander Luo, don't use your words to run the Yu family down. Even if the head of the family doesn't say anything, I, Yu San, support General Xue Yun, and the Yu family will never do anything against General Xue Yun." things."

Commander Luo said: "The key is that what you say, Yu San, doesn't matter."

Yu San said angrily: "If the Yu family is going against General Xue, they must step on Yu San first."

Xue Yun immediately dissuaded him: "Commander Luo, Third Brother Yu, stop fighting. I believe that Vice General Yu can take care of the overall situation and keep Datong Mansion safe, so that everyone can win and prosper."

Yu San feels aggrieved. Such a high-level military meeting is naturally held by the Patriarch, but the Patriarch refuses to come. This is not to offend all the civil and military officials in Datong Mansion. It is impossible to take the officialdom of Datong together, and the head of the family may not be able to get a good job in the court in the future.

Master Li said: "My lords and generals, the Mongolian army is about to arrive at Datong Mansion soon, and the offenders are still in the city according to the Inspectorate and Zuo Shenshu. Do you want to hurry up and send these two people to the capital, so that the court can settle the case as soon as possible."

Eunuch Zhang said: "It's time to send these two plague gods away a long time ago, Mr. Li, you can figure it out yourself."

Mr. Li said: "Master Supervisor, it's just that the road is not very peaceful. We need to add some escorts."

Eunuch Zhang asked: "General Xue, what do you think?"

Xue Yun said: "Eunuch, the general is short on men and horses, it is really impossible to send troops to Mr. Li to escort the prisoner."

Eunuch Zhang looked at Commander Luo, and Commander Luo said, "Eunuch Zhang, the general can send troops, but the soldiers in the guard are not strong enough to fight, and someone needs to be at the helm."

Eunuch Zhang asked Governor Zhao: "Master Zhao, do you have to escort Fang and Zuo to commit crimes at this time?"

Governor Zhao said: "Fang and Zuo have convincing evidence of their crimes. Naturally, the case should be closed as soon as possible, so as not to cause gossip in the capital and make the iron case a long dream."

Eunuch Zhang nodded and said, "That's it, then I will send the Zhongyongying Camp to go."

Afterwards, everyone discussed some details of the military operation in Datong, and finally decided that Xue Yun would rescue the Datong Special Economic Zone. For Yu Dacheng's team, everyone just hopes that he will keep his own place, but everyone believes that Xue Yun will definitely have a backup.

Early in the morning on the sixth day of July, the caravans in Hangzhou city outside the gate of Qingyuan got the news, because horse bandits flying eagle flags and Mongolian cavalry appeared successively on the Xuanda side wall. Now the situation in the north of Datong is tense. It is agreed that the Hangzhou caravan enter the city to take refuge.

However, there is news that Yan Sanniang's husband, Xue Yun, will lead troops to the Datong Special Economic Zone, and he can escort businessmen who are willing to trade in the special economic zone. Went back out of the city for an interview, and the Xue family in Datong also offered the lowest protection price.

This frustrates the businessmen from Hangzhou, but the minimum protection price of the Xue family is still [-]% higher than the cost of their goods. After deducting the artificial forage, there is still [-]% of the profit. The Hangzhou businessmen will not lose money, and the Xue family can provide part of the North Goods, the condition is that they are willing to sell Xue's goods to merchants.

This trick of the Xue family made the merchants in Datong city who paid a slightly higher price less attractive. What also attracted the hearts of Hangzhou merchants was that the Xue family could issue a check and return to Hangzhou [Sanjiang Huitong] to exchange cash. The bitter days of carrying a large amount of money along the way and worrying about being frightened and fearful are missing.

If there are still people who don’t want to, then seek wealth and wealth, and go to the special economic zone with General Xue Yun, but once the Ming army fights with the Mongols, and there is chaos everywhere, that one will come to buy your goods, one can’t do it well If they are robbed by the Mongols, they will lose all their money. Many businessmen and their families have made a fortune with Yan Sanniang. It is better to sell the goods to the Xue family to form a good relationship. I hope that the Xue family will organize more for everyone in Datong. The source of goods, before the Mongolian army arrives, rush back to Hangzhou.
