It’s better to communicate with smart people, it’s really good! It’s just a few words, and you can understand all the subtexts and other things.

Why did Liu Juehe mention the bad habit of hiding gold and silver in the Chinese? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to wake them up and awaken these businessmen, so that they can realize how bureaucrats have eaten their meat and drunk their blood over the past thousands of years.

In China's unified feudal dynasty, business was the lowest level of the four people. In history, there were few giant merchants who had a good end, such as Chen Wansan and Hu Xueyan.

No matter how much you have made, as long as you are rich enough to rival a country, then when you are valuable, you are the God of Wealth. When you have no useful value, you are a fat pig, a fat pig that can be slaughtered at will.

The merchants in Jiangnan had long understood this truth. For example, Sang Ye, no one knows how much property he has. Even when the south was growing hair, he just fled to Guangdong to avoid goods.

The mulberry fields in Mr. Sang's home have been unmanaged for more than ten years and anyone who wants to take them. But no one knows that Mr. Sang has hidden more than 100,000 taels of silver in the 10,000 mu of mulberry garden. These silver and the land deeds in his hand are the basis for his comeback.

Changmao was defeated, and Master Sang returned home. Everything was not over. Master Sang wanted to take back the land that had been occupied by the rioters. It would not be possible without relying on the government and the Hunan Army. The 100,000 taels were all bribed and sent to the hands of various bureaucrats, including civil officials and military generals.

After exhausting wealth, Mr. Sang finally took back his fixed assets, and then the whole family was cautious in elites, which led to the family revival in recent years.

It can be seen that people like Sang Ye have long found a way to survive in the thousands of years of dynasty changes in China. These secrets that are not passed down are the only way for the merchant class to survive in China.

Make money, then hide money, and never reveal money, or only reveal a little bit of money, and finally encounter natural disasters, man-made disasters, wars, etc. These floating wealth are the hope for family rejuvenation.

It is always duckweed and always goes with the flow. No businessman can decide his own destiny.

Xiao Letian knows them too well. They know what these people think and fear, so Xiao Letian will never promote the stock market when they are stable and peaceful, because he knows that many rules in the stock market are contrary to the survival and development of these businessmen.

Listing requires financial supervision from outsiders. Listing is equivalent to telling the whole world how much money they have. These are the things that merchants fear the most.

But it happened to be a financial crisis, and the money shortage at the critical moment forced Jiangnan's businessmen to a dead end.

The so-called Tongzhi Zhongxing does not mean how powerful the Qing court was. This economic recovery is actually just the natural economic growth after the war.

Population proliferation, land is deeply developed, and all industries are beginning to recover in the hands of hard-working people, and productivity has been restored. That's all, this is not a real prosperous era, it is just a soldier who lost too much blood. He temporarily sutured the wound and showed normal hematopoietic function of the body.

It has been nine years since the war ended, but it has only been four or five years since the sporadic war ended. In such a short period of time, the economy of Jiangnan has only recovered by 30 or 40%.

Sang and his friends looked glorious outside, but compared with before the war, it was not as good as that. Fucai was basically robbed, and all the merchants' capital chains were very tight. This was why the money shortage hit them so huge.

Just imagine, if there were no ten years of war in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the silver hidden in the cellar of merchants in Jiangnan had not been lost, then this small crisis would be nothing! Just relying on the accumulation of their family for a hundred years, it would be enough to survive the wasteland.

All kinds of fate will cause this very unique financial crisis, war factors, time nodes, loopholes in the Qing Dynasty policy, and even the factors such as the British Prime Minister's election. Xiao Letian has taken into account the factors such as Xiao Letian's election.

A crisis has resulted in the successful launch of the stock market. Even if the giant merchants are worried or terrifying, they have no choice but to have a broken capital chain.

They have to drink Xiao Letian’s poisoned wine, and they have to drink it even if they don’t!

Financing is very smooth, but after the funds are obtained, businessmen will start to consider safety issues. Such a huge amount of wealth is exposed to the ground. If those corrupt officials and bandits and powerful people don’t care about it, then there will be ghosts.

And who can protect them now? There is only one person, that is Xiao Letian, and no one can expect anything except him.

The banquet at the Huizhou restaurant lasted until midnight. No one knew what Liu Juehe had agreed with the merchants, nor did he know how many prime minister's promises Qiu Wei brought. At least people knew that after midnight, after the merchants walked out of the restaurant, their expressions were all resurrected as if they were full of blood.

How could Xiao Letian not protect them? These people are the source of motivation for the future Chinese war machine! Chinese businessmen are indeed very powerful, but after all, their history is too short. The ones that really have background are these ancient commercial families in the Qing Dynasty.

If it weren't for Xiao Letian, these business families would have gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and no one could even remember their names. In fact, these business families that have been passed down for hundreds of years may not be worse than those Jewish families. All they lack is a political environment that can support them and an army that can protect them.

Who in Jiangnan does not want to buy sea boats and sell their silk, tea and porcelain from their homes all over the world? Who doesn’t want to open their own family semicolons in Nanyang or Europe?

Who will help them realize these ideals? Relying on the Qing Dynasty or foreigners? They can’t do it. In this world, they can only count on Xiao Letian, and only Xiao Letian is willing to help them.

"Dear bosses, listen to me. Suzhou will not leave Suzhou City in the past few days. If there is no emergency in other places, please stay for a few more days... If the schedule is correct, the Prime Minister will come to Suzhou in ten days, and those who are destined to be able to meet you will definitely be able to meet you!"

At the entrance of Huizhou restaurant, the merchants who were about to say goodbye to their departure were all amazed, "The Prime Minister is coming? Oh my God! The Prime Minister is coming in ten days?"

Think about it, they didn't believe in the promises they had just had a little disbelief, but they no longer dared to question them. The merchants all agreed that they would not leave until the Prime Minister arrived in Suzhou.
