    Inland trade is naturally relative to maritime trade. Although it is not specifically mentioned, everyone knows that the so-called inland trade refers to the competition between the northwest frontier trade and the sea trade in the coastal provinces. The northwest frontier trade is basically monopolized by Shanxi merchants.  Although Shaanxi merchants also have one, they cannot compare with Shanxi merchants in terms of financial resources and scope.  (This chapter was uploaded by netizens&nb)wwWelcome to reading

    In terms of trade with Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Russia, it can be said that no one can compete with Shanxi merchants. The imperial court proposed to vigorously develop inland trade, which is a great opportunity for Shanxi. Not only Shanxi's status will become more prominent, but also Shanxi merchants will usher in a new era.  more brilliant development.

    Encouraging Shanxi merchants to issue invoices undoubtedly shows that the current emperor Zhenwu Ye has vigorously supported Shanxi merchants. Who doesn't know that the "Four Great Constants" that dominate the bank account industry are the property of the current emperor, and he is not willing to harm himself.  To encourage Shanxi merchants to issue invoices with their own interests shows the strength of his support for Shanxi merchants.

    No one would care about the news coming out of the Fan family, not only because Lord Zhenwu was stationed in Fan, but also because of such a big matter, with the Fan family¡¯s status and reputation, they simply didn¡¯t dare to speak out about it. As soon as the news spread, the entire Taiyuan City was in an uproar.  Many shops set off firecrackers one after another to celebrate. Some wealthy businessmen's homes also followed suit and the whole city was filled with the sound of firecrackers.

    The shopkeepers of all the shops also realized that Zhenwu was staying in the Fan family, and that this Taiji tour might be for Shanxi merchants. They all immediately sent people to report Dong Yishi who did not live in Taiyuan City.  The doors are full of fast horses.

    Everywhere in Taiyuan City, large and small teahouses, restaurants, shops and guilds, and streets and alleys are filled with excited and delighted people discussing enthusiastically that Shanxi's mercantile custom has become deeply rooted in the people. Anyone who is smarter at home will be sent to a shop or to practice business.  Vigorously developing inland commerce is important to most people.  It all means a rare opportunity.

    The next day, many officials from Taiyuan City rushed to Fan's house to pay their respects. After receiving the news, officials from surrounding prefectures and wealthy businessmen also rushed to Taiyuan by horse and mule carts early in the morning. The officials hoped to have an audience.  Holy face.  The opportunity for local officials to meet the saint was not Zhenwu. Since Xingxing arrived at the mountain, they naturally had to come to pay homage. This was not only out of etiquette, but also a rare opportunity.

    However, a group of wealthy businessmen are more vigorous than the officials in developing inland commerce and Shanxi merchants jointly opened bank accounts. This is for them.  It is remarkable that Lord Dazhen Wu spread this news on the first day he arrived in Taiyuan. There will definitely be continuous news later, at least the specific regulations will be spread.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a matter of vigorously developing inland trade. It¡¯s not a big problem if we know it early and then we know it late.¡±  However, the Shanxi merchants jointly opened a ticket account, but there was no delay at all, because it was the current emperor Zhenwu who encouraged it.  This ticket number will definitely become popular soon. Whether you can neutralize this ticket number is not only a question of making money, but also represents your identity and location among Shanxi merchants, which will directly affect your future fortunes. How can they not be anxious?

    Wealthy businessmen from Taigu, Yuci, Xugou, Qixian, Wenshui, Jiaocheng and other places did not dare to delay at all and rushed to Taiyuan City after receiving the news.

    Zhenwu, on the other hand, had a good night's sleep. He got up early for the next few days and was jolting on his horse.  Now that he had arrived, there was no eunuch to call him, but it was rare for him to take a lazy sleep. He got up and washed himself and saw that it was already eight o'clock.  He couldn't help but secretly thought that this was a rare lazy sleep.

    After seeing him wash up, the guards filed in and spread out a table full of breakfast dishes. Zhenwu took a look at not only Shanxi's special millet porridge, cold skin, sweet cakes, stomach-nourishing cakes, stuffed cakes, etc., but also various common dishes in the capital.  Zhong Zao couldn't help but smile, nodded a few casually, and said, "I'll reward the rest."

    At this time, Yinyang came forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty's blessing."

    Zhenwu nodded slightly and said, "Is it too early to use it?"

    "I used it early in the morning when I returned to the imperial court." Yin Pang stood up and said with a smile: "A group of officials from Taiyuan Mansion are waiting outside to pay their respects to the emperor."

    "Ask Zhao Fengzhao, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, to stay." Zhenwu muttered slightly, "Let the others go back to their respective offices to handle errands."

    After hearing this, he sent a group of officials back to Yinpang. He couldn't help but hesitated for a moment and said: "It is difficult for the local officials of the emperor to see the emperor on weekdays, so why not let them come in to pay their respects."

    Zhenwu said disapprovingly: "I will naturally give them the opportunity to meet the emperor, but there is no need to come every day to ask for their duties. It is more important. Officials from nearby prefectures and counties will also rush to summon me as soon as possible after hearing the news."

    After hearing this, Yin Pang hurriedly bowed and said: "I will go out to deliver the order right now."

    The officials who had been waiting at Fan's house all morning were a little embarrassed when they heard that there was no need to invite Zhenwu. Yesterday, Kuixu, Su Keji, and Su Zhan were all dismissed.  Does this mean that this matter is not over yet?

    Governor Su Keji hurriedly stepped forward and gave Yin Pang, who came to announce the decree, a kiss and said: "It's rare for the 10th Master to come to Taiyuan. Can you let your slaves fulfill their friendship as landlords? I wonder if the emperor had a good rest last night?"

    Yin Pang smiled slightly and then said: "Your young master is trying to beat around the bush for me.The county officials came and summoned them together to say goodbye. They thought about all the things and were able to accept the mission with peace of mind.  "

    Hearing this, the officials couldn't help but relax a little. They thought that the matter of misappropriating disaster relief money and food might be revealed. Then Yin Pang said again: "The emperor has issued an imperial edict to Zhao Feng, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, to pay an audience."

    Zhao Fengzhao had been busy at Fan's house for the whole day yesterday. Ji Feng was already extremely frustrated when he could not get an audience. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "I obey the order."

    Kuixu, Su Keji, and Su Zhan couldn't help but wonder. Zhao Feng must have been summoned by Zhenwu to ask about the impeachment matter. All three of them were dismissed yesterday. Don't go on any other missions, otherwise it is likely to be a punishment of dismissal and never use.

    Zhenwu Yong prematurely heard about Zhao Feng's imperial edict and called him in. After receiving his greetings, he said, "How many years have you been serving as the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture?"

    "Go back to the emperor." Zhao Fengzhao hurriedly bowed and said: "It has been fourteen years."

    Zhenwu nodded slightly, but in his heart he was surprised why Zhao Fengzhao stayed in the position of Taiyuan magistrate for such a long time. He was not a flag-bearer. Then he casually said: "How much does Taiyuan Prefecture charge Xian?"

    Zhao Fengzhao originally thought that Zhenwu would ask about his impeachment, but he didn't expect to ask about it. However, this matter was also the one he was most proud of. He hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, Shanxi Tong Province is now collecting money for fire consumption."  For example, one grain consumption is three cents. Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi's main producer of grain, also has a grain consumption of three cents. As for fire consumption, in recent years, Weichen has only charged six cents."

    When he heard that the fire consumption was only charged six, Zhenwu couldn't help but asked: "The government of Taiyuan is in Yang, and Taiyuan City welcomes the fire consumption and the silver is charged six on weekdays. Is it enough to pay for it?"

    "When I return to the imperial officialdom, I should go to the ministers who can run away or hide." Zhao Fengzhao hurriedly bowed and said: "Some of the transit officials in Taiyuan City cannot avoid opening up the deficiencies by imposing additional coal mine taxes.  The Mingxianyu Shimen Mine and Fengyu Metallogenic Mine in Taiyuan County are both rich in media charcoal."

    It turns out that he was transferred to the coal mine. From this, we can see that he is not very good. The original government mainly produces 40% of grain and consumes less than 10,000 taels of fire. For Zhenwu in Shanxi, he has no interest now and cannot transport any more.  We have to wait until the steam engine and railway are opened.

    After a slight hesitation, he said: "You have been in Taiyuan Prefecture for more than ten years. You should be quite familiar with the local situation and the situation of Shanxi merchants. You should have heard about the news that the imperial court encouraged Shanxi merchants to set up bank accounts. You should have heard about the pros and cons of this matter."

    After hearing this, Zhao Fengzhao couldn't help but secretly admire Zhenwu. Was he trying to compare with him? After a slight pause, he thought about it and said: "Shanxi people have always used their income from business to purchase land and build buildings. In addition, they are among the rich merchants."  Every family has a silver cellar to store silver, which is beyond the imagination of the officials. This is really not a blessing to the court.

    Encouraging Shanxi merchants to set up banknotes is not only beneficial to business, but also beneficial to the court's supervision and prevention. If we can follow the "Four Constants" of low-interest lending, it will actually benefit the court.  "

    After a moment, he continued: "If it is said to be a disadvantage, this move will promote the rapid expansion of the power of Shanxi merchants. The trade in the northwest frontier will be completely exploited by Shanxi merchants. There is a fear that Shanxi merchants will have tails and weak officials who can't lose them. The wealth of Shanxi merchants is far greater than that of the people of the country and the country."  "Fortunately"

    Zhenwu glanced at him and secretly thought that Zhao Shenqiao had Zhao Fengzhao's idea. Although it was a bit flimsy, it was very unacceptable to have his own ideas. Today's officials are just subservient to others all day long.  A blessing to the country.

    As for the Northwest business operations, Shanxi merchants, he really can't understand it at the moment. Northwest merchants not only have to endure the hardships, but also know the roads. There are no other provinces except Shaanxi merchants who can intervene in Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants. It is to support them.  What about Shaanxi businessmen?

    This matter is not about division but about good introduction. Compared with opening up the northwest, it is not worth it at the moment. We should first make Shanxi merchants bigger and stronger.

    Naturally, these words cannot be said to Zhao Feng, Zhao Ming, Wei Wei, Shen Zhen, and Wu Cai said: "Go and change, and then accompany me out for a private visit in disguise." To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly
