Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

"I wonder if you have heard about the group of people who passed through the county a few days ago and killed hundreds of people who came out of the city to intercept them under the county seat."

"Didn't they say they were passing mob, but Magistrate Liu fought them back with all their might?!"

"Hi! You are ignorant and brainless. That's Liu Wendou's rhetoric. You are so good that you have read a book. How can you believe that guy's words? Besides, who do you see who has so many blunderbuss? Have you ever seen hundreds of people annihilated outside the city in the blink of an eye?"

A young man from the Bai family, who is also one of the five major families, immediately came out to refute, making the person who just didn't believe it blush red in the face and feel ashamed.

"This little brother from the Bai family is right. Those people in the past few days were not the so-called mob at all." Slowly, Deng Wentian solved the mystery for everyone.

"They are the Keelung Army. They were escorting a batch of goods from Qin and Han merchants to Huizhou and Chaozhou. They didn't want the county patrol to get jealous and plan to make a fortune. As for the result, everyone has seen it."

At this time, everyone began to calm down and analyze the events that Deng Wentian said one by one.

When buying land in Shanpu, the Keelung Army escorted the goods across the border, which was also related to the impending death.

The smart ones understood the mystery within a moment, and the slightly stupid ones also figured it out under the guidance of others.

This series of words were thrown together, and this was an extremely terrifying event that could kill the whole family, young and old.

"It's not been a year or two since Keelung's products came out. Everyone knows this. Some time ago, I learned from my friends at sea that the Keelung army was attacking Fusang. At that time, everyone's food supply had increased a lot. But recently, I That old friend said that the general from Keelung and the general from Fusang had made peace with each other. Thinking about their recent actions..."

"Usually, the goods in Keelung are only unloaded at the mouth of the river, and then go to the city and handed over to merchants from various places for sale, or we buy the goods from Da Dao and sell them to various places in Lingdong. The goods in Keelung are of high quality and low price, and there are thousands of good things. , we hope they can send more so that we can all make money together.”

"However, what is before us now is very simple and very bad. Keelung's businessmen or the Keelung army plan to kick us away and ship goods to the hinterland of Lingnan!"

Mr. Deng's words were like sprinkling a handful of salt into a hot oil pan. It was so hot that everyone's emotions were immediately aroused and they became excited.

If Keelung businessmen or the Keelung military directly open stores in Shanpu and sell to the hinterland of Lingnan, then their actual distributors and agents will not have so much business and profits. Even if they still supply to themselves, But the status is bound to plummet.

One is the owner who has goods, and the other is the guest from outside.

Even without thinking, you know that a guest can’t beat the host!

These large families in Lingnan are essentially tenants of Keelung's business, working hard for them to earn hard-earned money.

Although it was hard work, everyone was making a lot of money, and no one made any excessive demands.

However, it is obvious in front of us that the owner is going to open his own store, and he will not even give them the hard-earned money!

no! Absolutely not!

In the so-called traditional agricultural society of the Ming Dynasty, the real rich people were not the so-called landlords on the surface, but the businessmen and landlords.

Those landlords who live in rural areas and really rely on land rent are reluctant to eat meat. The houses they live in are at most thirteen-story bricks, and the rest are adobe. They own nothing except the dozens of acres of land at home.

If you want money, you won’t have money; if you want power, you won’t have power.

The merchant-landlord class has been the middle class from ancient times to the present. They came to take me, the peasants and tenants, as the lower class; the money of businessmen also allows them to have easier access to the powerful class, collusion between officials and businessmen, and preying on the common people.

This is the reason why agriculture has been emphasized and merchants suppressed since ancient times. However, even if all monarchs understand the powerful relationship, they cannot eliminate it. Merchants are an indispensable component of social development.

During the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Laoda stipulated a series of control measures such as merchants not being allowed to ride in cars, wear silk clothes, or take concubines, in order to hinder the development of merchants. But when he went north to conquer Mongolia, the treasury had no money, so he still had to rely on businessmen for funding.

There is no stability without agriculture, and there is no prosperity without business!

Now, let these Keelung merchants who have made a lot of money in the re-export trade with the mainland suddenly lose the source of huge profits and have to compete with others on the same starting line. How will this make them suffer? Come on?

no! Absolutely not!

"Shanpu belongs to Shanpu people! It belongs to Jinping people like us, and it must not be sold to outsiders!"

"Well! The land in Shanpu must not be sold to outsiders without the consent of us Jinping people!"

"Yes! Gather the children of the clan and prepare to resist these foreign southern barbarians!"

"Must the Jinping people come first?!" The Deng family disciples shouted loudly, with great momentum.

Looking at the excited children of the five tribes in front of him, Deng Wentian's old eyes exuded a glimmer of pride, as if an old wolf had eaten a fat lamb.

"Liu Wendou deceived us, and we cannot just sit back and wait for death! The southern barbarians do not follow the etiquette and law, have no sense of shame, do all kinds of evil, are greedy, bully men and women. Today they occupy Shanpu Market, and tomorrow they will be Dawan. If they Come, our ancestors’ land and money will be squeezed out by the Southern Barbarians. We cannot be prodigal and ruin our ancestors’ family business!”

Posts with content similar to "The Southern Barbarians are fighting" were quickly spread throughout the surrounding villages in Jinping County, and both businessmen and farmers in the fields were infected by this trend.

It turns out that the rice in their fields cannot be sold, and even if it is sold, it will be a loss. Everyone works hard all year round and still loses money. These are all caused by Nanman's mischief behind his back!

My dear, there will be more after this chapter^.^,

It’s really abominable!

Under such publicity, the five major families of the landowners, gentry and powerful people from all over the country joined in the great cause of fighting against the Nanman to protect their families and fields.

The clan leaders and elders of the Deng, Bai, Kong, Shen and Peng clan generously donated all the swords, guns, swords and halberds stored in their warehouses and gave them to the young and strong members of the clan to compile We have formed a team training, and are ready to give a head-on blow to those Nanman who come to Shanpu to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, and let them know a little bit about how powerful our Jinping people are!

Looking around from the fort in Yong'anwei, we can see from a distance that the walls of the surrounding villages have flags with the names of their respective villages, flying wantonly in the early spring wind.

Deng Wentian was supported by his descendants and walked twice on the wall of the village. He was already slightly out of breath and his face was red.

"Grandpa, among our six Jintian sieges, our Yong'an siege has the thickest walls and the strongest fortifications! Just keep an eye on us and we will definitely be able to show off our strength to the Nanman and make them run away with their heads covered!" A young man who was a grandchild was waving his arms with joy, a bit like he was giving advice.

"Stupid thing!" This sentence made Deng Wentian no longer in the mood for inspection.

Back home, his sons and capable grandchildren all knelt down in front of Mr. Deng and listened to his instructions.

"You guys, please remember that we cannot defeat the Keelung Army. You must keep this in mind. Besides, our purpose is not to fight with the Keelung Army."

"What?!" The sons and grandsons were confused by Deng Wentian. The old man personally said that a war was going to start. Why didn't they start a war now?

"Grandpa, do you mean to let the outsiders like the Keelung Army know that the land in Shanpu is not so easy to occupy, and then retreat and continue to cooperate with our Deng family, so that we can continue to make a fortune?!"

Listening to the words of the grandson kneeling far away, Deng Wentian's old face, which looked like orange peel, showed a rare smile in recent days, "Boys can be taught!"
