Unlike other places, the officials in the capital are all smart and understand the situation better.
They were shocked when they received requests for help from relatives and friends in their hometown, and quickly wrote letters and sent them back.
There is nothing else but to warn relatives and friends not to act rashly and not to offend people in Shandong.
Soon, the situation of the imperial court became known to everyone in the world.
Officials and gentry from all over the country also understood why the imperial court bowed to Shandong.
The farce against Shandong was completely eliminated, and peace returned to various places.
Except for some officials and gentry who made too much noise and were punished, the rest couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts when they looked at Shandong people.
The court's actions also broke the hearts of many people with integrity.
For a time, there was a wave of resignations from various places, and many people were completely disappointed with Ming Dynasty.
"After this incident, we have become disheartened. We just hope that we can move to Shandong so that we will not encounter such disasters again."
In Jiangxi, the rescued businessmen came to Jin Qiyu one after another to express their thoughts.
Although the crisis was saved this time, it still frightened these people.
They actually had the idea of escape from the local area.
Jin Qiyu quickly stopped him and said: "Everyone, you are operating here not only to make money for yourself, but also to be my tentacles in Shandong Province. Without your local support, many activities in Shandong cannot be carried out. Please rest assured. After this matter
The imperial court and other places dare not make things difficult for you any longer. You have the strong strength of Shandong behind you to ensure that you are safe and sound."
The core meaning is to stabilize these people and allow them to continue their local operations.
The essence of business is to expand and occupy more and more territory.
If these businessmen operating in various places retreat, how can Shandong's products be sold to the outside world?
Not being able to sell externally means losing the market, and losing the market means not being able to make money.
If we can't make money, how can Shandong develop?
This is a circular problem.
Zuo Mengeng had already noticed it, so while sending people to various places to rescue businessmen, he specifically gave this instruction.
No matter what, we must stabilize the mood of the businessmen, let them stick to the local area, give them confidence and security, and inspire their pioneering and enterprising spirit.
Hearing that Shandong meant this, the businessmen couldn't help but look at each other.
After discussing in low voices, they introduced Li Chengyang.
"Master Jin, although today's danger has been resolved, if I, Shandong, really fall out with the imperial court in the future, I'm afraid the imperial court will not let me go. Shandong is thousands of miles away, and water from far away cannot quench the thirst of the near."
Jin Qiyu smiled.
"Everyone, is your business booming?"
Speaking of this, the businessmen all became happy.
"Thanks to the favor of our customers, business is pretty good."
"Thanks to Shandong's products, I can wait for a big profit."
Jin Qiyu spread his hands.
"You see, our products from Shandong are so popular. What does this mean? It means that underneath the surface, there are many people who agree with our Shandong. Therefore, you not only want to do business, but also make more friends. You have more friends.
, The journey will be easy. When you have friends all over the world, will it be so easy for the court to touch you?"
No one who can do business and do well in business is a fool.
After everyone thought carefully, they finally had some understanding of Jin Xingyu's meaning.
Jin Qiyu is right when he says that Shandong products are indeed very popular.
In this way, those who run the business will definitely be able to get away with it.
In other words, the current recognition of the imperial court and Shandong among the people is actually half and half. And as long as they continue to work hard, this comparison will not be tilted in the future.
And when they gained enough support, even if the court understood that there might be nothing they could do.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is the existence of Shandong's powerful force.
If the imperial court dares to move, it will be a disaster.
Businessmen are a very strange group.
Both crazy and cowardly.
When faced with danger, businessmen retreat very quickly. They prefer to avoid heavy losses at the smallest cost.
But once they know that they are safe and have a solid backing, they will burst out with extremely powerful aggression capabilities.
After Jin Qiyu's lobbying, these businessmen finally no longer thought about moving to Shandong, but regarded Jiangxi as a piece of cake.
The next thing they have to do is to completely cut this piece of cake, eat it thoroughly, and firmly occupy it.
Anyway, with the support of Shandong behind them, they have no fear and no one knows how many crazy things they can do.
Another confrontation, another complete victory for Shandong.
The result was that Shandong's ideas were no longer hindered and thoroughly penetrated into the people of all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
Taicang.
In an exquisite small courtyard.
Several businessmen gathered together and read Zuo Mengeng's article over and over again.
One of them burst into tears as he read it.
"I have been in business all my life, and I have suffered many ups and downs. The humiliation I have suffered is too numerous to describe. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce... Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but we businessmen have been stepped on in the mud and soil, trampled on by others again and again. How contemptible! We are again
What did you do wrong?"
The same goes for another person.
"Commander Zuo said it well. All things are created and everyone is equal. We have two shoulders to carry one head. Why are we businessmen inferior?"
The slightly younger one even got angry.
"My generation of merchants traveled north and south, exchanged what we had, exchanged with various places, braved the wind and rain, endured so much hardship, paid so many taxes, and fed many people? What wrong did I do with the country and the people? As Commander Zuo said
It is said that those scholars and landowners are oppressing us. Unless we overthrow them, we will never be able to get ahead."
The last person looked at the old man.
"Mr. Yunzhu, you have helped Zhang Ximing a lot in the past few years. What's the point of doing this now?"
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Originally, merchants like me have a low status. If we want to survive, what can we do besides clinging to the powerful? I have funded Zhang Ximing's huge amount of money, hoping to rely on his connections to have a place in this world. Hum! But!
That Zhang Ximing's eyes are higher than his head, and he has never seen me in his eyes. When I come to visit, I have never even had a cup of hot tea. In the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats like them, what's the difference between our merchants and those low-life merchants?"
This person then asked: "Recently, Zhang Ximing and other Fushe scholars have been communicating with each other everywhere, saying that they want to fight to the death with Shandong. They even found the juniors and asked for donations. Seniors, how should this matter be done?"
The young man laughed heartily.
"What else can he do? Donate money to let them win Shandong, and then continue to dominate us? Just go ahead and dream of him."
The old man didn't have much energy.
"Alas! I was born here and depended on others. I'm afraid that Zhang Ximing's words will make me die without a burial place. We don't have Shandong's support behind us, and we really can't twist our thighs with our arms."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became gloomy.
Everyone sighed and lamented, and really couldn't think of any solution.
While he was feeling depressed, footsteps rushed in, with a look of ecstasy.
"Everyone, the Jinyi Guards entered the city and captured Zhang Ximing."
