0385 People seek profit

Compared with the dilapidation of Jiankang City, Jingkou has now reached a prosperous state, because the impact of the war in the west and the Xingtai is here, and many families from north to south gather here.

In the past, Jingkou's prosperity was more of a gathering place for people and a distribution center for goods from the north and south. The large number of families from the north and south flocked in. After seeing the huge market potential and relatively stable environment of Jingkou, the atmosphere of buying a property in Jingkou reached a peak.

In the past six months, although the war in the west has been fierce, Jingkou has not been affected much because of the existence of the Daye Pass. After a period of chaos, the market has gradually returned to the right track with the influx of goods from the south. Without the double pressure of survival and safety, the atmosphere in Jingkou became active again for a while, and even set off a climax of construction.

Compared with the old capital Jianye, the geographical environment of Jingkou is safer. The 40-mile river is not worried about threats from the north. Moreover, there are also armed forces of refugees from Huai and Si on the north bank of the river. It is connected to Sanwu in the south. With the dredging and repair of the entire Wuzhong waterway, it is more convenient to obtain supplies from Wuzhong. There are also a large number of military facilities on the west side, so there is no need to worry about threats from the upstream.

For these families who had just experienced the harm of Liyang Rebellion, Jingkou was simply a perfect place to recuperate. In the past, they gave up their business in Jingkou because a large number of refugees gathered here and were not allowed to be resettled. The public security was too chaotic. In addition, Jingkou had not undergone large-scale development at that time, with dense mountains and forests and wild animals rampant.

However, with the Shang Alliance and Yin Jue spared no effort to develop vigorously in Jingkou, many infrastructure construction was created, large areas of wasteland were developed, and the guidance and resettlement of refugees had already been on the right track. Jingkou has long been different from the past.

Such a safe and potential treasure land naturally attracted the covetousness of many people. If these newcomers want to make arrangements in Jingkou, they will inevitably affect some of the patterns that have been formed here. Nowadays, if aristocratic families want to operate somewhere, they rarely follow legitimate ways. On the one hand, the price they pay is too high, and on the other hand, the progress will not be too fast.

However, when they wanted to seize the plunder according to their past experience, they suffered unprecedented strong resistance. To give the simplest example, a foreign high-ranking family wanted to embezzle the industries of some poor families according to their authority. Although this family did not have the status and reputation, once they were occupied, they responded to it. The high-ranking family quickly became the target of public criticism in the local area, and even their safety was threatened!

In the past period of time, similar disputes have been staged in Jingkou almost every day, and there are even some vicious times when some outsiders are directly killed by local people and burned, killed, looted. After learning enough lessons, these outsiders gradually realized the power of Yinjue and Shang League in Jingkou.

It is impossible to use strong people. After realizing this problem, some of these foreigners chose to stay dormant, while others were still unwilling to give up. It is true that compared with these families who have been operating in Jingkou for a long time, they lack manpower and material resources, but it does not mean that they do not have the opportunity to cooperate with each other.

The families of Jingkou may have sufficient manpower and financial resources, but there is one shortcoming, that is, they have no political resources and channels for promotion, so they stayed in Jingkou for a long time. However, outsiders went to Jiankang to operate very early, and both in fame and in terms of power, they are incomparable to those of Jingkou.

In Jiangdong, where the rebellion has not yet been quelled, the value of these resources is greatly reduced compared to the peaceful world. But in other words, for this reason, the local families in Jingkou are also coveted by great people. After all, in the present, wealth only ensures a relatively stable living standard, but fame and status can determine the starting point and future of a family, which is undoubtedly very attractive to those local families who are unprepared or have insufficient status.

On this issue, both sides hit it off. The outsiders were responsible for creating fame and winning official positions for local people, while those local people provided convenience for these people to establish themselves in Jingkou.

Now that the invisible barriers of the class are so strict, even if the poor family has a lot of money, they still have no way to ask for advice in politics and are very cold-eyed. But now, as long as they provide some wealth, population and land, they can become guests of the high-ranking celebrities, chat and laugh with those famous people who were unattainable in the past. This was simply unimaginable in the past!

For those celebrities from aristocratic families, these rumors about Jingkou are vulgar, non-elegant and homeless. In the past, if you don’t talk about communicating with these people, even if you accidentally see them, you will feel that they are polluting their audio-visual. However, these people have resources that they cannot reach in Jingkou, but they have no means to grab them.

Although they both have a considerable power in Taichung, even Taichung now has to rely on these people to support them. Their little authority is really insufficient to pose a substantial threat to the other party. Moreover, with the existence of Yinjue and the Shang Alliance, coupled with the close relationship between Huaibei Vagrant Army and Dongyangzhou, the way of dividing and disintegrating and instigating them to fight each other in the past is not feasible. If you want to obtain the resources they have, it seems that there is only one way to cooperate.

It is not easy to live in Jingkou. Most of these people are out in a hurry and don’t carry much wealth with them. In addition, the prices of Jingkou have soared, and Xingtai does not have enough financial resources to support them. As the war in the west has delayed, many people naturally fall into a dilemma of life.

There is a huge gap in the situation, and when food and clothing are not satisfied, people will naturally make various choices with different temperaments. Of course, a considerable number of people still stick to the family line and are proud, but there are also many people who want to improve their living conditions, so they naturally hit it off with those Jingkou families who have no way to enter.

With these old families spared no effort to waving flags and shouting, many families in Jingkou who had no clear hope became famous, while some families who had a good reputation fell in love with their families when they crossed the south earlier, and took this opportunity to return to the mainstream vision again.

With the help of these local families, those outsiders began to buy property in Jingkou. Many villas rose to the ground, and the stocks in Yinjue also changed and traded frequently, which made the entire Jingkou rejuvenate again.

After passing the Daye Pass, Shen Zhezi met his second uncle Shen Ke and many Wu Zhong relatives in the Shang League. The team that followed him back to Xingtai this time was huge, and Jiankang temporarily reached a compromise. As a powerful faction in the current situation, Tao Kan and Wen Qiao had reached a consensus with Director Wang, and each arranged a group of people to follow Shen Zhezi to Xingtai to welcome the Empress Dowager and others.

Originally, Shen Zhezi did not plan to return to Jingkou in the near future. Although he had no specific duties in Duzhong, he still needed to personally mobilize and dispatch manpower and material resources to Jiangbei. However, Yin Jue and some of the leaders of the Shangtai Party all reported some bad trends, and there was also some accident in the selection of people heading to Jiangbei.

Many of the aristocratic families who followed Shen Zhezi to attack Jiankang enthusiastically asked to join Du He's team, which made Shen Zhezi unexpected, but he was also happy. These people were willing to go to Jiangbei to make contributions, but Shen Zhezi was happy to see it, but it was not easy to just send people to Jiangbei so that they could not explain to their respective families. Therefore, this time they took them back to Jingkou and let them communicate with their families. If they still insist on going, then join together.

Because Jingkou was urging, Shen Zhezi arrived at Daye first and ordered the people who stayed behind Daye to be responsible for receiving the army in the rear, and then set off to rush to Jingkou with those who were welcoming.

Along the way, Chen Ke talked to Shen Zhezi about the hidden worries of the development of Yinjue and the Shang League, which was the introduction to the transactions and cooperation between many outsiders and locals. The integrated supply and marketing of Yinjue and the Shang League was built up in an endless stream, and many conventional rules were formed as the operation grew. However, with the frequent changes of the joiners, many of the original rules were destroyed, which brought great trouble to the daily operations of the two.

"As early as when Mr. Tao defeated Liyang, there were rumors that the relatives of the Yu family were used, and they were guilty of being incompetent and causing trouble in Jiangdong. Mr. Tao led the people to the east this time, not only to quell the rebellion, but also to rectify the chaos. The guards in Xingtai were already difficult, and if the Empress Dowager had not been stubborn, the situation would be even more worrying."

After telling the general situation of Jingkou, Chen Ke sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable and their desires are hard to settle. The Shang League has its own foundation in Wuzhong, and can still maintain its stability. However, Yin Jue is a boiling pot, and many families join in and want to divide the power. The guards are already unable to make a decision. The supplies that were collected and transported to Jiankang were now trapped along the river, and they are dragged on and on, and they cannot start."

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi nodded slightly. He was not surprised that there would be problems in the Yinjue and Shanglian structure. The reason why this structure was established earlier was because of the premise of working together to develop the Jingkou large market. But now the Jingkou market has been fully developed, showing enough potential and interests, which is normal to attract people's covetousness.

Shen Zhezi never thought that relying solely on capital power could accomplish too profound changes. No matter at any period or any economic change, politics first will always be an unignorable premise. Although the establishment of Yin Jue was supported by the extremely inflammatory theoretical support of the Five Level Three Jins in the early stage, what is more important is the protection and attraction provided by the power of the Yu family.

Now that the power of the Yu family is in danger, Yin Jue will be swaying. Especially when Xingtai was founded in Jingkou, this gave many people the illusion that they could enter the center with one leap and complete a great leap in their family background. Under such circumstances, political enterprising can easily overwhelm the demand for interests, thus providing people with the possibility of differentiation and disintegration.

Shen Zhezi's calmness at the moment was not a pretending gesture, or Zhuge Liang, when he decided to place Xingtai in Jingkou, he had already predicted the current situation. Earlier, because he was busy with war and robbing credit, he just planned to divide Yangzhou in Jingkou and left in a hurry. He did not make deeper changes to Yinjue and Shang League. In fact, he left a pit, hoping to get more people involved.

Shen Zhezi did not think that those Yin Jue families were ungrateful to strive for political progress, and it was instinct for people to choose greater interests in the right situation, and he also liked to see these people showing their ambitions in politics. Many things cannot be measured by morality.

History has its own contingency and necessity, and the development of anything will take a process. In the original history, in addition to the Yu family, the Chu family and the Xi family, the Chu family and the Xi family, found a prominent position in the current situation and jumped to the political stage as a whole with political ambitions, which would take decades later.

But the situation in Jingkou now shows that these families already have their own political intentions and are working hard for them. Of course, there are the shadows that the Qingxu Overseas Chinese Sect win over, but the rise of these families will inevitably divide up the inherent political resources. Those high-ranking families think that they can encourage these people to achieve their intentions, but in fact they have reached the edge of the grave that Shen Zhezi dug for them!
