Chapter 215: Ten Loyal Businessmen, Unspeakable Loyalty

Ten loyal merchants who served the imperial court have been selected now, and now they are standing in front of Zhao Kai... They all look like they are good businessmen based on integrity!

Counting from left to right, the first one was the contractor Wu Haogu. He was actually the weakest of the ten selected merchants and the weakest means, which was the support of his good friend Zhang Zeduan and Zhao Kai looked familiar with him, and he pointed at him casually... The fortune is coming, and it is really unstoppable!

Huang Yue, a gang merchant from Chuzhou who was originally from Wu Haogu, was in his thirties and had a smart and capable face. He was recommended to Zhao Kai by several emperors who ran to Luoyang. His family was from Gangangshou (a merchant of the canal). Before Xuanhe was surrounded by Kaifeng Prefecture in the eighth year, he happened to take a batch of gang ships in Kaifeng Prefecture. He originally planned to sell a batch of porcelain and mules and horses to Jiangnan after the canal was thawed. Unexpectedly, when he encountered the Xuanhe crisis, he was trapped in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Later, his ship was "hijacked" by five 14 or 15-year-old girls and an eunuch!

The five little girls were all surnamed Zhao and sisters, named Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, Zhao Zhuzhu, Zhao Fobao, and Zhao Jiner, all of them were Zhao Ji's daughters. Before Zhao Ji's imperial eunuch escaped in person, he arranged for the five of them to escape together. I don't know what happened. Xu Junkai, the eunuch of the Imperial City Department who was responsible for this matter, could not tell the direction (walk blind), and took the five of them to Jinmingchi west of Kaifeng Prefecture. At that time, Kaifeng Prefecture was extremely chaotic, with headless flies everywhere on the Jinshui River and the Bian River. So in a panic, Xu Junkai simply asked Huang Yue to drive the ship to Biankou... So he has a home now and it is difficult for him to go back!

Chuzhou is Zhao Huan's territory! How would he explain to Zhao Huan? If he weren't Zhao Kai's people, why would he packed Zhao Kai's five girls to Biankou at once? So he could only sit in Luoyang and eat the whole country. Fortunately, the five girls did not forget him. Now he recommended him to Zhao Kai as a royal profiteer, which is a blessing in disguise.

Standing beside Huang Yue, Ye Gonggong Zhang Guanghui, who came from Hebei, was a profiteer with a white-faced scholar. The so-called Ye Gonggong is the one who started an iron ore to smelify iron.

During the Song Dynasty, Xinde Prefecture, Cizhou and Xiangzhou in Hebei were all important iron smelting places, and their output once reached 70% of the national iron production. Later, due to the rise of the iron industry in Xuzhou, Chengdu and Jiangnan West Road, its status declined, but it was still a very important pig iron production area.

However, because Hebei is now in chaos, many smugglers ran away to Luoyang, and Zhang Guanghui was the biggest smuggler among them... Of course, he was also a big profiteer! They trusted the Zhang family Iron Shop to use inferior coal to smuggle people since the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, and handed them to the court's "iron rent" (at that time, the smugglers paid pig iron taxes). The coal iron content of smugglers was particularly high, and the quality of weapons and armors they used was extremely poor!

In other words, if a group of lay officials and civil servants and even more lay officials are fooled, they will be put in the Five Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of profiteer will have to behead him!

However, Zhao Kai could not kill Zhang Guanghui because the Zhang family has been mining and smelting iron for generations, so they are all experts!

If Zhao Kai wants to develop military industry in Luoyang, he naturally has such experts...

Zhao Kai looked at Zhang Guanghui's head for a while... Keep it for the time being to see the effect!

Then Zhao Kai turned his attention to another tyrant businessman who was as treacherous as Zhang Guanghui! Chen Qian, who was born in Xuzhou, Jingdong Road, was also the leader of the thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thirty-six thir

Chen Qian, in the name of the Ethereal student, established relations with the Iron Industry of the Liguo Supervisor in Kaifeng Prefecture and went to the door... so that they could use inferior iron materials to harm the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, and their crimes were enough to behead them!

However, Zhao Kai was kind-hearted and let him go. The mines in Liguojian in Xuzhou were flooded by the floods released by Wanyan Zonghan! So many smelters and craftsmen were unemployed, and they just happened to hook up with them to "develop the central part" to help Zhao Kai run the iron plant and iron ore!

Chen Xisheng, a businessman from Guangzhou, Huaixi, stood beside Chen Qian. This businessman was a Confucian businessman who came from the Yimen Chen family. He was a member of Chen from the Yimen of Jiangzhou, who was known as "the first among the three thousand people and the most unparalleled in the world for five hundred years."

During the period when he was Renzong, Chen of Jiangzhou was divided into 291 families by the court. Chen Qian belonged to Guangzhou Hall. He was also a scholar and made progress when he was a young man, but he was disappointed in the imperial examination, so he was arranged to manage the family industry. The most profitable industry in Guangzhou Hall was not in Guangzhou, but in the prosperous Kaifeng Prefecture. So Chen Qian had been operating in Kaifeng Prefecture for a long time... Now he is finally shameless to go home!

The young owner of the famous Kaifeng Building, Xiefang Building, Pan Shengan, who is handsome and beautiful, stands beside Chen Qian, and he almost broke all his money... The former Kaifeng Building, the first brothel in Kaifeng, has been banned and demolished by Zong Ze, and the ladies inside are missing. Fortunately, the Pan family has a semicolon in Luoyang.

Moreover, the Pan family did not forget the ancestral teaching of "keeping it based on its foundation", so they purchased a large amount of land on Jingxi Road. In addition, his family also operated usury loans - how can they kill tenants if they do not purchase a large amount of land? How can they force good people to become prostitutes if they do not purchase usury loans to tenants?

This business is so good that no one else is!

But now it’s all passing by... His family’s land will soon be “buyed” by the Yingtian Envoy of Jingxi Road, and the Luoyang Branch of Xiefanglou is almost unable to be opened.

Fortunately, when his family was still rich, he tried hard to curry favor with Prince Yun Zhao Kai... So Zhao Kai also gave him a chance to transform.

Standing next to Pan Sheng'an, the kiln owner Ximen Zhu, who came from Zhongshan Prefecture, was not the owner of the kiln, but the porcelain kiln. Zhongshan Prefecture is Dingzhou, and Ding porcelain is there, so there are many merchants who have made wealth by firing ceramics. The Ximen Family is one of them!

After the fall of Zhongshan Prefecture, the Ximen family moved to Luoyang and was sitting in the air... In order to prevent these Dingzhou kiln owners from going to Jingdezhen to start a business, Zhao Kai asked someone to call Ximen Zhu.

Jin Rutu, the young owner of a Kaifeng Jiaoyin Shop, nicknamed "Jinduoduo", is now standing in the Zhenguan Hall and becoming one of the top ten loyal merchants.

The so-called exchange shop is actually an exchange that undertakes the exchange and exchange business of gold, silver, silk and silk. The financial industry in the Song Dynasty was very developed, with official exchange warehouses, money services, transfers, sub-service services, inspection and school warehouses, private exchange shops, redeem shops, redeem shops, redeem shops, redeem shops, redeem warehouses, and immortality warehouses opened by temples.

Kaifeng Prefecture gathered the most wealth in the world, so it became the financial center of the Song Dynasty and had a large number of financial institutions.

When the disaster came, all the official financial institutions went to Songzhou, while most of the private and monks and Taoists were running "going around the world", some went east and some went west. Jin Ru Tu, there were also Master Huiming, the "Boat Monk" from Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo, and a great Taoist priest Xuan Wu Daoist from the Shenxiao Sect, who was the leader of the financial financiers who came to Luoyang. So they all came to Zhenguan Hall together!

"Zhang Zeduan, send them the franchise brand!"

Zhao Kai took his eyes back from the ten Zhongshangs, and then ordered Zhang Zeduan to issue them a license. The license was a scroll. After unfolding, you could see Zhao Kai's handwriting and seal "reopening the Great Song Tian".

Ten loyal merchants took over the scroll with fear and fear. Zhao Kaize told all the merchants present: "These ten royal merchants are subject to their term of office, with a term of three years... After the term expires, they will conduct assessments and select the five lower-ranking companies to be expelled. At that time, they will choose the imperial merchant again, but I will not choose them again, but will auction the quota of royal merchants. Everyone works hard to become the imperial merchant in three years!"

According to Zhao Kai's plan, gunpowder workshop, iron ware workshop, armor ware workshop, bronze ware workshop, and crossbow ware workshop are all double-part. They will "choose one of two" in three years. Those who are not selected will lose their status as an imperial merchant!

Zhao Kai paused and said, "But not choosing the emperor merchant does not mean that he can't make money. He is just not allowed to sell military horses to Ezhou, nor is he allowed to open a gunpowder workshop. However, he can still apply to open a military weapon workshop and an armor workshop in Luoyang, or sell horses in Yingtian Fourth Road... I have 400,000 soldiers in the palace and will come to Luoyang to serve in the future. I will give them some silk to buy armor and corresponding military weapons on their own during their service in Shangluo. At that time, Luoyang will definitely become a place where thousands of workers gather. You must seize the opportunity!"

Zhao Kai's practice of asking the soldiers to bring their own military weapons, armor and horses is actually related to the military service system he implemented... He has already distributed so much land to the soldiers, so Zhao Kai of course has to let them bear more burdens. So much land cannot be given in vain! And if they buy it themselves, it is easy to control the quality.

Therefore, after the division of land, the soldiers of the government must serve for four months free of charge every year, and it is best to bring their own military weapons, armor, and horses... If the soldiers of the government are unwilling to bring their own, Zhao Kai's court can only provide the most basic equipment and relatively poor horses, and the ownership of these equipment and horses is still owned by the court. If they are damaged or lost, they will have to be compensated!

If the soldiers of the government were willing to bring their own, Zhao Kai's court would provide some subsidies, and the good equipment and horses they bought were all owned by themselves.

The merchants didn't know what they were thinking, but in front of Zhao Kai, they all handled it well, and they all expressed their intention to open a Jiafang and a Equipment House in Luoyang to create good soldiers and armor for the Song Dynasty's government soldiers.

Zhao Kai paused and said to the merchants present: "In addition, I also asked Zhao Kai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to manage the transfer of the warehouse, to provide money, money affairs, to the office, to inspect the school warehouse, to transfer shops, to shops, to distribute shops, to the warehouse, to the Changsheng warehouse and other affairs, and to be responsible for issuing tickets. I also hope that you can merge all kinds of money and silk transfers to start a ticket business... Because the court will not issue Jiaozi, money affairs, and only to issue cloth tickets with silk as anchors. This is also your opportunity! Take a good grasp of it!"
