Chapter 526 The Hui merchants panicked
This is a bit false. Even if both parties have a connection, it is impossible to be on call.
Looking at Xu Xianchun, Han Qi's expression did not change much. He now knew that he was being targeted, but he didn't believe that Xu Xianchun really dared to do anything to him.
Han Qi raised his head and said, "What do you want to do? Arrest me? Or arrest the entire Han family."
Han Qi looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile: "If you have any requirements, it's just a matter of negotiating conditions."
This kind of thing has not been experienced before, and Han Qi can be said to be familiar with it easily.
These people do things every day, sometimes just to prove their abilities. So now Xu Xianchun comes to ask him to negotiate terms, which is not too surprising.
Xu Xianchun glanced at Han Qi and shook his head directly, not going to say anything to the Han Qi in front of him, because there was really nothing to say, and the thoughts of both parties were not on the same channel at all.
If someone is still so arrogant, how can he beautify himself? He must completely defeat them and let them understand their own situation, otherwise these people will not let go of their superior attitude.
"Catch someone." Xu Xianchun glanced at Han Qi, shook his head, turned around and walked out.
Xu Xianchun is going outside to stare. The Jinyiwei has already started arresting people. All the individuals of the Han family will be arrested and the store will be seized.
In this case, they had time to waste here. They originally wanted to come over to meet Han Qi, but now they have no interest.
Behind Xu Xianchun, the Jinyiwei flocked in and took Han Qi directly.
Han Qi was stunned, and never expected that Xu Xianchun would dare to catch him here.
Han Qi raised his head and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the two Jinyiwei next to him had already taken action.
When the Jinyiwei arrested people, there were many things that were shouting randomly. They were already very familiar with this kind of thing. If you don’t want you to shout, you won’t be able to shout it out.
One of the Jinyiwei stretched out his hand and punched Han Qi directly in the stomach. This punch can be said to be both rapid and powerful, and almost knocked Han Qi over with him.
Han Qi bent down and gasped, his eyes almost protruded.
After this, the person next to him pinched Han Qi's chin, with quick means and great power.
In this way, Han Qi's chin fell off.
In this case, it is impossible for Han Qi to speak, and it is even more impossible to shout. He could only be dragged out by two Jinyiwei.
The others in the room didn't dare to move.
When Huang Changzong saw this scene, he shook his head directly, turned around and walked out.
Huang Changzong followed here to take a look. One reason was to see what he could help or what he needed, so he could communicate with the Jinyiwei; the other reason was to see this scene.
Of course, this is not what Huang Changzong himself wants to see? It is the emperor who wants him to see.
Huang Changzong is about to take over the salt business, and the benefits can be imagined. Letting yourself see their fate is probably a deterrent.
Huang Changzong was indeed scared. It is estimated that these people would be even more miserable when they entered the Jinyiwei Yamen.
He glanced at Chen Zhenglin next to him and Huang Changzong scratched his head.
At this time, Chen Zhenglin naturally no longer had to pretend and was also taken out.
It was not the Jinyiwei who arrested Chen Zhenglin, but the people from Tongzhengsi. These people also acted very quickly.
But Chen Zhenglin has much more cooperation than Han Qi. He has no intention of speaking at all and is directly taken out.
Chen Zhenglin knows his own situation even more clearly.
Chen Zhenglin has already thought about it these days and is mentally prepared. So when he was arrested today, he didn't resist at all. He followed the Tongzhengsi and left.
At the same time, the entire Yangzhou city was in chaos.
First, the city defense was taken over? Then countless soldiers appeared everywhere. These people were strong, well-equipped, and sharp-eyed. You could tell at a glance that they were not soldiers from Yangzhou City.
These soldiers were very fast? They quickly occupied every corner of the city. Since entering Yangzhou City, they have been preparing.
In this regard, after several years of training, Qi Yuanfu is already a person who can stand alone.
After Qi Yuanfu entered the city, he checked the drawings and arranged them. For example, where to arrange personnel in the city? How to transmit messages to each other, where people need to be stationed, and where people need to be contacted.
Everything was ready, and two days ago, these people had stepped on the spots separately. As long as Yangzhou was eliminated, these people would be able to enter the field immediately and quickly occupy the place they wanted to occupy in advance.
And the fact is just as Qi Yuanfu did, Yangzhou City was completely taken over, the city gates were blocked, and soldiers wearing armor could be seen everywhere on the street.
This made people panic, and many people closed the door and shrank it into their homes. This scene was a little confused, and they all thought that Yangzhou City was going to cause trouble again.
At the same time, arresting people.
The Jinyiwei began to search the Han family, and from the land industry to the shops, everyone in the family was arrested.
At the same time, the Tongzheng Department also began to arrest people, but they were all officials.
Xu Guangqi and others also appeared, cooperated with Zhu Youxiao in a tacit understanding and soon took over the administrative work in Yangzhou City.
With Xu Guangqi and others, we can ensure that the entire Yangzhou City runs smoothly and there will be no problems.
For a moment, the entire Yangzhou City entered a very fast pace, which made people a little confused.
But there are smart people.
At this time, many people gathered in the Huizhou Guild Hall.
In the past two years, business has developed greatly, and many guild halls have been built in various places. Basically, local merchants invested in construction, and then invited local merchants to work together, making something similar to local merchants.
With funds and strength, they will build such guild halls across the country, and major cities will have their guild halls.
In addition to providing convenience to businessmen, the clubhouse also provides convenience to scholars; responsible for contacting locals in other places, everyone gathers together to keep warm, and even many officials will be attracted by them; they can also communicate with each other in business.
If you do business in a guild, your reputation will be really bad, and no one will do business with you again.
If you want to do business in another place, people will contact the guild hall where you are in your hometown to get your news. Without the guarantee of the guild hall where you are in your hometown, your business can be said to be difficult to move forward.
Under such circumstances, the importance of guild halls and business groups is reflected.
The Huizhou Guild Hall is one of the best guild halls in the Ming Dynasty; the Huizhou Business Gang is also the most ranked business gang in the Ming Dynasty. There are also people who are stronger than them, but not many.
Originally, Shanxi merchants had a strong foundation, but they had already paid half of them in Zhangjiakou a few years ago. In recent years, Yangzhou was suppressed by Hui merchants, so their current momentum is much worse than before.
With the salt business, Huizhou merchants became even stronger.
In addition to local Huizhou people, there are some other salt business people here, such as the Ye family in Shanyang.
The Ye family in Shanyang has not been very successful in its rise, but it is very strong.
The reason is also very simple. The ancestor of the Ye family in Shanyang has produced a minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Originally, the Minister of Revenue was not a very big official. After all, how many Grand Secretary of the Cabinet were in this world? If every official wanted to do such a big business, there wouldn’t be so much business for them in this world.
But the Ye family is different. They are from Shanyang, which is later the residence of Huai'an and the governor's office of the Cao Transportation Bureau. It can be seen how important the geographical location of Shanyang is.
The ancestor of the Ye family was Ye Heng, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was also Ye Qi who successfully persuaded Emperor Hongzhi when he was the Minister of Revenue and changed the imperial court's grain tax to silver tax.
As a result, Hui merchants rose up instantly with their geography in the Huaihe River. The Ye family also took advantage of the situation to grow bigger and became a very famous salt merchant.
Of course, the Ye family is still a little worse than the Han family. However, the Ye family also has its own advantages. They are in Huai'an, the old nest of the Governor of the Cao Transportation, where they operate in depth. Although officials are always changed, the Ye family does not change them.
On the surface, the reforms Ye Qi made were for the court, but in fact, all the salt merchants at that time were working hard, and some even bribed Zhang Heling, the elder brother of Queen Zhang at that time.
At that time, the Nayin Kaizhong had become the foundation of the interests of all salt merchants. Everyone was promoting this matter and did it.
Ye Qi presided over the reform. He has a high status now and has a good reputation in the officialdom.
After all, when you get the benefits, you must promote them. Even Emperor Hongzhi at that time was a benevolent monarch who was diligent and loved the people.
However, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, Emperor Hongzhi did not do as good as Emperor Jiajing. The reform of Emperor Hongzhi's salt administration was just a big pit, and he has not yet crawled out.
At this time, in the Huizhou Guild Hall, Ye Chi of the Ye family was sitting here, playing with his fingers boredly, as if there was something particularly fun on his fingers.
This made the people around him frown in dissatisfaction.
However, everyone can't afford to offend Ye Chi, and they hold the canal transportation. If you cause some trouble for you, you will have no place to cry.
In this situation, everyone could only let it go. Moreover, this time I came to Ye Chi, and I thought of borrowing his power.
On the main seat, Cao Bang, the head of the Cao family, sat there expressionlessly, and his eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces.
At this time, Cao Bang was very worried and even was very scared.
Like many salt merchants, he was also very frightened.
