Not only the merchants in Lingnan, Hunan were excited, but in fact, for the merchants in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was still beneficial to destroying the country, such as an additional market.

Collusion between officials and merchants was still in the germination stage in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was a great success.

Simply put, it is a few hundred equals author who thought he was awesome. After joining a group of great gods, he brags hard and water group. The result:

Chen Jienan: You are the boss!

Lu Shiping: Big Boss

Chen Dong: Send a coffin to the boss...

...

The merchants in the Southern Tang Dynasty could no longer be called merchants, but should be big crocodiles.

The difference between the top 500 in China and the top 500 in the world.

Generally speaking, literati were ashamed of making profits, but the Southern Tang Dynasty turned the matter the other way around.

During the Yang and Wu period, when Xu Zhiyan was a delegation envoy in Runzhou, he once "made a list of business in the west of Yacheng and traded for himself". It was obviously not a trade place stipulated in the city. This almost "sneaky" transaction was criticized by his father and Prime Minister Xu Wen at that time.

Due to its abundant profits, founding prominent states like the Xu family have been involved in the trend of commodity trading and cannot extricate themselves.

In this kind of business-intensive environment, the taxes in the Southern Tang Dynasty increased steadily, with an annual income of more than 7 million.

Remember, this is not food, it is just pure copper coins and cloth. By the time of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty's finances were only 20 million.

This kind of emphasis on business not only prospers in cities, but also has many business opportunities in rural areas.

Caoshi and the rice market are very prosperous. Many rice markets are promoted to counties or towns, such as the newly established Hailing Dongzhou Town, Qingjiang, Hailing, Rugao and others to be promoted to counties, and Taizhou is promoted to prefectures, becoming an important town in Jiangbei.

The big merchants at that time were more famous as Zhou Zong.

He was a founding elder of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Since you have gained wealth from your family, you can trade easily, and you will trade from Huai River to market Chinese sheep and horses" has become a product of both politicians and wealthy businessmen.

Due to the huge scale of its transaction, it was heard in the Central Plains that when Zhou Shizong was planning to cross the Huai River, he came up with a plan to cover the soldiers with sheepskins and pretend to be the Zhou caravan.

Such transnational businessmen have a low sense of belonging to the country.

The combination of merchants and officials made the power of the Southern Tang Dynasty decline continuously, and it was difficult to get more than 500,000 tributes every year.

The hoarding of great merchants once concentrated the wealth of the Southern Tang Dynasty into the hands of merchants. When Li Yu ascended the throne, the treasury reserves were insufficient to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, so he had to buy silk from the wealthy merchants in Jinling to serve as tribute.

Because the privileged class, under the protection of power, does not want to pay taxes.

It can be said that they are the Donglin Party in a sense.

The governance of the Southern Tang Dynasty was difficult.

It can be said that in the feudal society [Biquge www.biqugeso.me], pure merchants could not develop, and they had to collude with officials and businessmen. This is why ancient times emphasized the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce.

To emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, it is not only the merchants, but the collusion between officials and businessmen.

Back to Sichuan.

On July 16, Wang Quanbin led his 40,000 troops to Chengdu.

However, before leaving, Meng Chang was still a little conscience. He kept some money and food in the treasury just to let Wang Quanbin control his army.

If Wang Quanbin and other generals and schools were still very satisfied with this money and grain before attacking Shu.

However, I have seen a lot of financial resources along the way, how can this satisfy them?

Soon after, in order to consolidate his rule, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to conscript Shu troops to the capital, each of which was given ten thousand yuan, and those who did not leave would be given additional food for two months.

Wang Quanbin and others did not execute immediately, confiscated all the money and annexed it. From then on, the Shu army was very angry and everyone wanted to make trouble.

Moreover, Cao Bin, Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin, Wang Renshan and others had banquets day and night, and did not care about military affairs. They even plundered their children and wealth, and the people of Shu suffered.

After destroying Shu, he led troops to plunder and transported the "heavy goods" such as gold, silver, copper, coins, jewelry, etc. stored in the Later Shu treasury to the capital. In history, this forced recruitment of a large number of civilians and transported them from land and water to more than ten years before the transportation was completed.

In addition, Wang Quanbin and others were charged with all the high-ranking officials who surrendered in Later Shu, asking them to spend money to buy them.

It's exactly the same as Li Zicheng.

The two armies often had dozens or hundreds of envoys. Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin and Wang Renshan each protected them, not allowed them to send the Shu army, but only sent the dentistry schools in the provinces to deport them.

When the Shu army arrived in Mianzhou, it was indeed rebelled and robbed the county, gathered more than 100,000 people, calling itself the "Xingguo Army". Among the Shu people, there was a man who was once the governor of Wenzhou Quan Shixiong. He was once a general, with prestige and virtue, and the soldiers were all afraid of him.

At that time, he was leading the entire clan to the capital. When he encountered a rebellion in Mianzhou, all the heroes of the division might be held captive by the soldiers, so he hid his whole family in the Jiangqu folk house. A few days later, he was caught by the rioters and pushed him as the commander.

Wang Quanbin sent the chief supervisor Mi Guangxu to recruit rebels. Mi Guangxu killed all the people of the Shixiong tribe, took his beloved daughter as a concubine and confiscated his family's wealth.

After hearing this, Quan Shixiong was not willing to return home. He led his soldiers to attack Mianzhou quickly. He was defeated by the commander Liu Fu, commander Long Jie Tian Shaobin. So he attacked Pengzhou, drove away the governor Wang Jitao, killed the governor Li Derong, and occupied the city of the state.

All the ten counties in Chengdu raised an army to respond to the All Shixiong. All Shixiong called himself the "King of Xingshu", established the shogunate, set up officials, and appointed more than 20 Jieshou, and ordered them to occupy Guankou, Daojiang, Pi, Xinfan, Qingcheng and other counties respectively.

Cui Yanjin, Zhang Wanyou, Gao Yanhui and Tian Qinzuo jointly attacked them, but was defeated by Quan Shixiong. Gao Yanhui was killed in battle. Tian Qinzuo was saved only and the rebels became more powerful. Wang Quanbin sent Zhang Tinghan and Zhang Xu to suppress them, but the battle was unsuccessful and retreated to Chengdu.

The entire division divided his troops to station in Mian and Han, blocked the pavilion, built a village on the river, and declared that he would prepare to attack Chengdu.

From then on, Qiong, Shu, Mei, Ya, Dongchuan, Guo, Sui, Yu, He, Zi, Jian, Chang, Pu, Jia, Rong, Rong, and Ling Shixiong all followed the entire Shixiong to rebel.

At that time, Wang Quanbin didn't know that he had a problem with his mind. In order to avoid rebellion from surrendering to the Shu army, he tricked more than 20,000 surrendered Chengdu Shu army into Jiacheng and massacred them all without any scruples.

Since then, after the defeat of Shu for 60 days, Shu Kingdom was in chaos.

Later, in the fifth year of Qiande (976), the subjects of Later Shu went to the capital to file a lawsuit against the emperor, exposing all the illegal acts of Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin and others when they defeated Shu. So Zhao Kuangyin summoned the generals back at the same time.

Later, after verification, Wang Quanbin and the other three asked for and collected more than 646,800 guan of money, while the treasures of the Shu Palace and other treasures hidden in the bookkeeping of the outside world were not included.

In addition, the charges of deducting the travel expenses of Shu soldiers without authorization and massacre of surrendered soldiers and causing rebellion were also counted on the heads of the three. The three admitted that they were correct in the face of facts.

At that time, all officials of the court agreed to the execution of Wang Quanbin. Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment, saying that he had taken into account Wang Quanbin's previous contributions, and used his merits to defeat his demerits, withdrew his military power, and granted a free position.
