Xu Xing was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Zhu Er in front of him with some hesitation.
"Then what Master Zhu means is..."
Zhu Er smiled slightly, looked at Xu Xing in front of him and said: "Just destroying these gunpowders will have limited benefits to us!
We should do some tricks on the gunpowder to provoke the relationship between Dorgon and Shanxi merchants! It is best to clarify the relationship between Dorgon and Shanxi merchants!
By then, Shanxi merchants will not be able to develop! When the intruders see the fat meat of Shanxi merchants, they will definitely not be able to resist eating it!"
As he spoke, Zhu Er's eyes shone with light as he looked at Xu Xing in front of him.
Xu Xing nodded thoughtfully.
"You mean to ruin the reputation of Shanxi merchants and cut off the supplies to the Qing Dynasty??"
"good!"
Zhu Er nodded.
"If the supply line of the Qing Dynasty is cut off, the ease with which we can eliminate the Qing Dynasty will skyrocket!"
"kindness!"
Xu Xing nodded.
"Then we still need to inform His Highness about this matter! Ask him what he means!"
"good!!"
Zhu Er nodded.
Soon, a piece of news was placed on Zhu Cihong's desk within a few days.
"Fan Yongdou???"
Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly. Taoyao, who was beside him at this time, looked at the content and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him with a surprised look in his eyes: "Your Highness! I didn't expect that this Shanxi merchant would collude with the Manchus in this way.
So deep! This Fan Yongdou!”
There was an angry look in Taoyao's eyes.
All Han people found it difficult to stay calm when they saw this news.
After all, the most famous Shanxi merchant among the Han people was actually a traitor!
Their trading companies opened all over the Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly, they continued to deliver money and supplies to the Qing Dynasty! This is simply!!!
Taoyao's eyes were full of anger.
"That's not surprising!"
Zhu Cixiang's face was very calm. He had known about this situation for a long time. Shanxi merchants had already been like this!
It can even be said that the reason why Shanxi merchants are what they are today is inseparable from their defection to the Manchus!
From a long time ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to make its fortune outside the customs.
They would enter the customs every day to rob, and they robbed a lot of property. In fact, these things were of little significance to the Manchus.
For them, weapons, armor and food are fundamental.
After all, there are many of them, but weapons, armor, salt and other items are not easy to buy. The Ming Dynasty has always banned the sale of these items.
Moreover, a large number of things that the Manchu and Qing dynasties stole from the Ming Dynasty also needed to find a channel to sell them!
At this time, Shanxi merchants approached the Manchus.
The two hit it off almost immediately.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty gave all the things they had robbed except food and other things to the Shanxi merchants, which was regarded as selling stolen goods to them.
After Shanxi merchants purchased these items at a relatively low price, they sold them back to wealthy southern merchants at high prices.
Then he secretly sold salt, ironware and other items to the Manchus at high prices.
Use this to make huge profits!
The benefits involved are simply as great as the sky, and cannot be explained in just a few words!
The Manchu Qing Dynasty did not pay much attention to the things that could not be eaten. They welcomed Shanxi merchants who could bring them food to eat!
And with this, Shanxi merchants experienced rapid expansion!
Soon, he became the number one wealthy businessman in the world!
After getting money, Shanxi merchants even bribed some soldiers guarding the city in Shanhaiguan, and their smuggling and acquisition business became bigger and bigger!
Later, even after the Manchus captured the city, they would not harm the Shanxi merchants at all!
The two complement each other and expand more and more!
These thoughts flashed through Zhu Cixiang's mind, but his expression did not change.
For him, Shanxi merchants have actually been on his death blacklist for a long time.
As long as Shanxi is recaptured, all Shanxi merchants will have their homes confiscated!
Zhu Cixiang has long been eyeing their family property!
In his previous life, Zhu Cixiang traveled to the Zhang family of Shanxi merchants.
But the grand occasion of Zhangjia Silver Cellar is something Zhu Cixi will never forget.
When he first crossed over, the first thing Zhu Cixi thought of was the money from Shanxi merchants!
If such a large amount of funds are obtained, Zhu Cixiang can really start issuing silver-standard banknotes!
Although the silver standard system was a very backward system in later generations, for the current Ming Dynasty, this system really couldn't be better!
These two things, gold tickets and silver tickets, are simply great weapons in this era!
But if you want to do this, the most important thing is of course to have a large enough amount of money!
The money in the hands of Shanxi merchants is definitely enough!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
I have to say that Zhu Er and Xu Xing had a good idea to create a rift between the Shanxi merchants and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In this case, the decline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty without the imperial merchants was actually foreseeable.
However, Zhu Cixiang was really afraid that Li Zicheng, a fool, would directly confiscate the homes of Shanxi merchants!
Then what will you do with your money?
In Zhu Cixiang's heart, all the money in the Shanxi merchants' families was already in his hands!
But if Shanxi merchants are allowed to support the Manchus, it will be really difficult for them to deal with the Manchus!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Your Highness! What do you think? I think this idea is not bad! As long as the Shanxi merchants are wiped out, it will not be that simple for the Qing Dynasty to find a replacement!
At that time, we can easily defeat the Manchu Qing!"
Tao Yao's eyes flashed with light and she said to Zhu Cixiang in front of her.
"Yeah! It's really good!"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Cixi still felt that the Shanxi merchants were not so easily eliminated.
After all, Shanxi merchants may have bought a lot of power within the raiders. Li Zicheng wants to raid Shanxi merchants' homes, unless he can be sure of his power!
Otherwise, it is simply impossible!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang made up his mind and gave instructions on the piece of paper in front of him.
"Can!"
Then Zhu Cixi handed the note in his hand to Jin Yiwei at the side.
"Send this information to the capital as quickly as possible."
After saying that, Jin Yiwei took over the decree from Zhu Cixiang and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at Jin Yiwei's back, Zhu Cixiang's eyes flashed with light.
Even if Li Zicheng really ransacked the Shanxi merchant's house, the money would at best be used to report and manage it for himself!
What I have to do now is to break Manqing's legs first!
The leg is broken, it will be easier to deal with after that!
