Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Zhangjiakou. Whether it is Jiangnan merchants, Huizhou merchants or Mongolian tribes on the grasslands, if you want to do business in Zhangjiakou, you must obtain the consent of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce. If this road is not open, in Zhangjiakou No one will do business with you

This is an iron law that all businessmen in Zhangjiakou know. No one in Zhangjiakou has dared to challenge the authority of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce for so many years. However, no one can say for sure in the world. The emergence of Longchang Company broke this law without notifying Shanxi-Shaanxi. Under the premise of the Chamber of Commerce, setting up a stage in the horse market. Rumors are also rampant that the people who want to directly intervene are the most important business horses in Zhangjiakou.

After so many years of development, Zhangjiakou has become the main trading place in the frontier area. It was the main place for trade between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia. The methods of trade are also quite diverse. Mongolian cattle, sheep, and fur have always been very important. Among all trade goods, the most important ones have always been horses.

Regardless of the value of a single product or the quantity sold, horses have always been the most important cargo in Mongolia. They exchange horses for their daily necessities, iron pots, salt and other necessary things.

In the past, people came and went at the entrance of Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce. It was very rare that no one stopped. Without the people coming and going in the past, this place has become an ordinary house, and it even looks a little bleak.

In the hall, the eight heads of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce are all sitting here, with very ugly expressions on their faces.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Yongdou, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly raised his head, glanced at the person next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Tian Shenglan, you just came back from the capital, what is the background of this Longchang?" "

The person being asked was a middle-aged man in his forties. He sighed softly and Tian Shenglan said helplessly: "Shopkeeper Fan, although Tian has just returned from the capital, he doesn't care about this Longchang number." I know a little bit, but I don’t know the real details. It’s not just Tian who doesn’t know. There are many people in the capital who want to know the details of the Longchang, but so far there is still no information.”

It seemed that Tian Shenglan's words had been expected. Fan Yongdou's face showed no surprise at all. He frowned slightly and said, "Tell me what you know! Let everyone understand!"

Tian Shenglan seemed to have great admiration for Fan Yongdou. He did not refute. He just thought for a moment and then said: "The imperial court attacked the Donglin Party, but it did not implicate the merchants from Jiangnan. However, a large number of smuggling merchants from Liaodong were involved. At this time, the Longchang Hao had just begun to emerge and took over all the original business of these merchants. Many people who had been eyeing this piece of meat in the past had failed. Tian knew that the original Fengyue Tower was the one that the Minister of Rites wanted to take over, but he did not succeed. But there is no news. It is obvious that the people behind the Longchang are very extraordinary."

Everyone in the room listened attentively. Although they were the well-deserved overlords in Zhangjiakou, there were no two or three who dared not board the Liangshan Longchang. Since they dared to come to Zhangjiakou with such a big fanfare, they must have someone behind them.

Tian Shenglan glanced around the room, and then said: "At the beginning, some people also secretly checked the Longchang No., but there was not much news, but the owner of the Longchang No. found out a little news about the Longchang No. The owner is the Fang family. This was originally just a small business, mainly engaged in the silk business. After being suppressed by Jiangnan Silk, it was already on the verge of death, but it miraculously turned around. Soon after, it was founded Someone later wanted to investigate the Longchang No., but before they could do anything, their home was ransacked!"

Sighing softly, Tian Shenglan said helplessly: "Longchang Hao is already an untouchable business in the capital. No one goes back to that brow. Some time ago, the imperial court conducted a thorough investigation of the palace procurement, and the merchants in the capital

Being implicated again, Longchanghao replaced the status of these merchants and became a serious imperial merchant."

The people in the room looked at each other. They had seen many merchants in the Ming Dynasty for many years and could supply goods to the palace, but it was rare that Longchang Company could do this. It was not easy in itself.

"After this incident, Longchang Company is unparalleled in the capital. No merchant is their opponent. Longchang Company's methods are rarely clever. They also adopt the method of pulling one by one to deal with the transactions of those nobles and nobles.

, Longchang Company cooperates with it, and almost no one refuses, which means that Longchang Company can find the right candidate every time, which further illustrates the difference of Longchang Company." Tian Shenglan told everything he knew.

After saying it, he also sighed softly.

The people in the room seemed to be in a low mood. Everyone was frowning. It was obvious that Fan Yongdou was quite distressed about the matter of Longchang Company. Fan Yongdou on the other side had a calm look. He put down the teacup in his hand and spoke indifferently.

Said: "Don't you

To be like this, this is Zhangjiakou. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Although Longchanghao is menacing, we have been operating here for many years. Naturally, we are not vegetarians. If we want to break through the network of Zhangjiakou, it depends on whether Longchanghao has it.

This ability"

The eight people were naturally centered around Fan Yongdou. Seeing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, one person was still frowning and the expression on his face was not very good-looking. This person was Wang Dayu.

Frowning slightly, Fan Yongdou said unhappily: "Wang Dayu, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Dayu was slightly startled, but said rather worriedly: "Boss Fan, do you still remember what I told you that day?"

Fan Yongdou was slightly startled, but his face suddenly became a little ugly. However, when he saw the other people looking at him, Fan Yongdou said nothing and nodded seriously. Fan Yongdou said in a deep voice: "Of course Fan remembers that matter, you

Let’s talk to everyone!”

After taking a look at the people around him, Wang Dayu said helplessly: "When Longchang Company first came that day, I met a businessman from the capital. According to the businessman from the capital, Longchang Company came to Zhangjiakou this time.

There will be big moves

He said that there are many people who want to do business with Longchang Company. Many businessmen want to get involved this time, and it may not be only Longchang Company. We must face more than one Longchang Company, so this time there is a little difference.

I’m afraid we will be in danger.”

Everyone's expressions changed. They were very clear about what they were doing. The incident in Liaodong had not been long ago, and it can be said that the lessons were not far away. As for those merchants, they were also very clear that most of them were not just merchants.

Behind every family stands countless powerful people

If they offend one or two people, there may be room for change. Even if they are facing Longchang Company, they don't think anything will happen. If businessmen from the capital come over, things will be difficult to handle. They have been able to occupy Zhangjiakou for so many years because

The wealthy families look down on this frontier place, but they know in their hearts how much profit they make here every year. If this news is revealed by Longchang Company, countless people will probably flock here.

Fan Yongdou, who had no expression on his face, also had an ugly face. He deeply understood what he was facing. Once upon a time in this family, he could call the shots, and felt that no matter what happened, he didn't take it seriously. But now Fan Yongdou is completely powerless.

It feels like it’s just a Longchang store, and I already feel that I’m not very good at it.

After a long time, Fan Yongdou's face changed and he said seriously: "This is not a competition. The Longchang is going to cut off our livelihood. This is absolutely unacceptable. No matter what the situation, we must persist to the end. We are not papery."

Several people all nodded seriously. They all understood that the Longchang was coming in a menacing manner. If they retreated, it would mean destruction.

Glancing at Wang Dayu, Fan Yongdou said with a serious face: "We need their power. We need them to do many shady things. Wang Dayu, Ha Yuansheng has always been contacted by you, and this time is no exception.

But don’t be too straightforward. The people the court wants to arrest must be in their hands. The reason why I haven’t contacted them in the past few days is because of this, but I don’t care about so much now. Let’s contact them.”

Nodding, Wang Dayu said in a deep voice: "I will go there tonight. I think there will be no problem there. After all, they will also need to rely on our strength."

After pondering for a moment, Fan Yongdou looked at Tian Shenglan and said with a serious face: "Tian Shenglan, go see the county magistrate Zhang Rui and the commander Chen Qian, take the money, and find out the ins and outs of the matter. They are also on the hot seat now."

Ants, I'm afraid they will treat us as a fallback, so if you have anything to say, say it directly. After all, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. In the past, we may have been at odds with each other, but now is no longer that time."

Tian Shenglan also nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "No problem! I'll go tonight!"

"Be careful!" Tian Shenglan was warned cautiously. Fan Yongdou looked at another person and said with a serious face: "Wang Dengku, call all the merchants from the Chamber of Commerce in the evening and find them all who are on the same road as us. I

If you have something to say, I want to take a closer look at what Longchang Company is capable of. We are not easy to bully."

Letting the strong wind blow against his face, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Luo Sigong's face was very serious. He understood that he was not arresting Huang Taiji now, but the entire force of Zhangjiakou. Feeling the constant blowing of the strong wind, Luo Sigong
