Wei Yuan had a round of rice in the town early in the morning, such as Husan soup, meat buns, mutton noodles, beef fried cakes... and chicken legs were full and round!

What do you mean by Erha? Wei Yuan and chicken legs are just breakfast when Erha is not awake.

When it was almost noon, the chicken legs lying on the awning were looking forward to it and said they were about to arrive in the county town.

At this time, Erha came from somewhere. When it woke up, the house was empty, so it was not just here.

Because I didn't eat anything in the morning, Erha's stomach roared while walking, his tail was tightly clamped, and his ears drooped, and he was listless.

Wei Yuan looked heartbroken: "Ha'er, are you hungry? I knew you didn't eat in the morning. This is what Dad didn't want to eat for you. Eat quickly!" He said that.

Erha was so grateful that she shed tears of tears, and she ate so much!

...

Pinghu County is located at the southern end of Changshui Prefecture and the middle section of Hangzhou Bay.

Because of the rich products and the prosperous trade here, the county town is very prosperous, and it is even more prosperous than the salt-producing Haiyan County.

There is a Pinghu area in this county, which is a very famous attraction sixty years ago. There are always ronin and poets coming to check in, just like those in later generations.

However, the water level and area of ​​Pinghu have gradually shrunk over the past sixty years, and the size is only less than half of the original size.

Originally, Yanghu Mountain where Old Man Zhao was located was called Yanghu Mountain. The mountain range was right by the lake, and the reflection of the mountain ripples in the lake, as if lying in a lake. After nearly twenty years, the lake water has receded seven or eight miles, so the name of the mountain has been changed.

However, Pinghu County is located next to Hangzhou Bay, and is a natural port with rare offshore trade. The north-south trade here is very prosperous, so there are many rich people.

When it comes to rich people, one word has to be mentioned, that is, the business group.

When society develops to a certain level, capitalism will gradually sprout as the economy prospers.

The world is similar. The Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants and the like that appeared in the Ming Dynasty suffered a devastating trauma in the late Ming Dynasty. However, capital never sleeps, and merchants still found a reasonable way of existence in the New Dynasty.

Slowly, the business names became stronger, and merchants from all over the country began to gather together, and merchants from all categories also began to unite in competition.

In order to gain more benefits, the voice of merchants gradually began to increase, especially in the past century, the Zhou court has gradually become ignorant of doing serious things.

Especially for two generations of emperors, they all had cerebral palsy, one wanted to become an immortal, and the other felt that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha. He ignored the government and made a mess in the world.

In this case, merchants began to penetrate the court and began to support their spokespersons to take office.

At the same time, merchants from all over the world discovered that the power of one or several companies was not enough to compete with those Confucian scholars in the court. Gradually, they began to unite and form the so-called business gang.

The top ten merchant gangs in the Great Zhou Dynasty are probably several times the current cash of each of them. Many times, natural disasters and man-made disasters are too scarce, and the court is short of money, and even borrows from these merchant gangs.

Often at this time, the helms of those big business gangs will have the conditions to give generously and strive for the right to speak and influence.

At the same time, they began to infiltrate education, and began to donate money to build private schools and academies, selecting the seeds of study to provide funding, especially those close to themselves.

After sixty or seventy years, this merchant gang is like a towering tree, with dense shade covering the sky of the Great Zhou, and its roots are tangled and tangled, penetrated deep into the underground of the Great Zhou.

Although there are competition and even struggles among merchants, and there are also infighting and gaming within them, the merchants have become an insurmountable, untreated, and large-scale giant beast.

You can probably understand by referring to the three star consortiums in the Kanzi Kingdom.

However, after all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was vast, so where can a business group eat? So it is often a business group that occupies one or two provinces, monopolizes three or four major industries, and controls the food, clothing, housing and transportation of tens of millions of people in the dawn.

Nowadays, those ambassadors with their parents and officials and Mu Shou are inevitably involved in dealing with business groups.

As long as the merchants cooperate with you, everything will go well and everything will go smoothly.

If the merchants give you a lip service, you can say that drinking cold water will make you feel stuck in your teeth.

Moreover, because the big merchants have the lifeblood of the local economy and control the food, drinking, defecation and urination of most people, you can't do anything to him, but he can hinder you from all aspects.

Not to mention the criticism of the spokesperson of the other party in the court, it would be enough for you to not collect taxes!

The big merchants are all the absolute taxpayers in the local area. Can those parents, prefects, governors, and governors still target their own financial backers?

Not only can it not be targeted, it also needs to provide sufficient support and protection.

Some big merchants and gangs had conflicts with people, and the local government offices took down the other party and detained them without saying a word!

If you go to the local government office and go to a lawsuit with the local big merchants, you will not win.

Sometimes, because you even say something about "slandering" the big merchant gang, the government office will issue a sea arrest document, and send yamen runners to arrest you across several provinces!

If you catch you, you will not be beaten or killed. If you torture you mentally, you will be thrown into the kiln and suffer. Some of you will be detained if you don’t have a sentence for several years! You will be detained if you wait endlessly!

Sometimes when there are conflicts between the big merchants in the two places, that is interesting!

Those big merchant gangs are not doing well yet, and the yamen in both places are about to start working! You deduct my payment for the goods and I detain your caravan, that's so lively!

Sometimes a large business group does not take any reason and falls at a disadvantage in the competition, and others can turn waste into treasure.

After all, the Dashang Gang has won over hundreds of scholars. They are sleepless and plan to clean up their financial supporter's father. They are also deceived by others. Now they can only buy a thousand cans of hot sauce for their shopkeepers, and the guys give it to them.

It actually caused many foolish people who didn't know the truth to sympathize with them...

And the big merchants cannot completely eat up all their interests, and there is no waste left. They always have to save face and live a good life!

The kind of business gang that eats extremely ugly and doesn't give others a way to live can usually not grow, and it will disintegrate in ten or eight years.

Nowadays, the big merchant model has been popular for a long time, and everyone is very skilled in routines.

We specially left a gap for small merchants and local merchants to eat some leftovers, and used the "fly profits" that big merchants looked down upon to comfort the small landlords and small merchants' union, divert social conflicts and release social pressure.

...

And this Pinghu County Business Gang is the famous small business Gang in Changshui Mansion.

It is also one of the best in Changshui Mansion. Of course, it still has to be ranked behind dozens of merchants in Zhejiang Province. He is so rich that he is so luxurious that he sleeps in a large bed of 500 square meters, and wears gold and silver for his dog~

The Pinghu Shangbang Zhongqiantong Trading Company is the strongest main business.

The Qian family was not very wealthy at a young age. They made a fortune when they went to business. However, they encountered monsters on the way to business. In the cold winter, they dived into the water and swam for five or six miles before they escaped.

As a result, the little brother was frostbite. So, he only got an only son in his forties.

This education issue is definitely a huge problem for the rich generation.

When I was young and strong, I focused all my energy on my career, but my children became rich suddenly and had not undergone systematic professional education, so they often became erroneous.

However, Mr. Qian, the only son of Mr. Qian, is extraordinary, this guy is so evil!

I won’t talk about eating, drinking, gamblers, and gambling. I always tease my big girls and wives, and even some handsome young men and husbands don’t let go!

It’s not that there is no one who can control him. He has been beaten by some knights in the world. However, due to the power of the Pinghu merchant gang, he dare not take serious measures.

Qian Tongqian is also a stubborn donkey who is not stingy, but he can't walk away and beat backwards.

At most, the scar is healed and forgets to hurt, but the scar becomes worse after healing.

Now no one in Pinghu County dares to provoke this person, it’s just a piece of shit. You can’t do anything to him, but if he stands in front of you, you won’t have to touch him, and you will be disgusted.

Coincidentally, Wei Yuan had just come out of a restaurant with chicken legs and Haer. He had a mouthful of oil and planned to replenish some supplies and set off. He happened to meet this young master Qian Tong fore who was doing something.

Wei Yuan saw dozens of people watching loosely at the intersection more than ten meters away, so he went up to ask a man in his forties.

The old man set up a stall to buy wontons. He glanced at Wei Yuan and said, "My little master, don't go forward. This is not a good thing. If Master Qian sees it, maybe you will cause trouble."

"Young Master Qian? What are you doing?"

Brother Wonton also liked Wei Yuan (highly charming). He couldn't bear to see him fall into the tiger's mouth and whispered: "The Qian family is the top leader of the Pinghu merchants. On this street, that street, and the three streets here, 80% of the shops belong to the Qian family. There are five or six sea boats at home, and they are powerful."

"That Young Master Qian is the only son of the Qian family, a person like a demon king in the world! He really bullies men and women! He eats both men and women, and does not bother with meat and vegetables! You are dazzling, if you are discovered by Young Master Qian, you must cause trouble, so hurry up and leave!"

At this time, a despicable voice from Lai Lai Jiji shouted: "Young Master, just leave me! Let's have fun in my house, why bother selling some calligraphy and paintings here? This is a hundred taels of silver notes, I have bought all your calligraphy and paintings!"

Wei Yuan looked at it and found that he was a passing scholar. He was short of money and wanted to buy some calligraphy and paintings for some money, so he was targeted by this guy who bullies men and women.

The seven or eight servants next to him, as well as two guards and swords, and bodyguards, had already surrounded the small book stall.

"Hiss~" Looking at the expression of Mr. Qian, hey, my god, Wei Yuan wished he could hit his dragon-subduing stick in the face!

Wei Yuan took a breath, what a strong man locked up the man. He ran away!

Wei Yuan wanted to leave quickly, mainly because this fact made people get goosebumps.

I heard the scholar say nervously: "Don't do anything wrong, I, I'm married, my wife and the old servant are waiting at the city gate!"

Who knew that after hearing this sentence, Young Master Qian became even more excited: "That's great! Come and invite your sister-in-law and wife together, forget it, and give him fifty taels!"

Wei Yuan shook his head and sighed that the world was getting worse. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, something suddenly swept across the corner of his eyes!

Wei Yuan turned around and took a look, yo!

Wei Yuan saw a painting, which was a picture of a beauty washing by the lake with fine brushwork. There were also words on the side!

Wei Yuan's thoughts flashed, and he walked up with a nine-ring stick in the dragon's submerged robe.

"This scholar, how do you sell this painting?"

The young master couldn't wait to let others make trouble. He shouted impatiently: "If you don't buy it, get out of here! Go and buy some, I'll interrupt you...Oh!"

When he turned his head and saw Wei Yuan’s appearance, he was stunned!
Chapter completed!
