Ming Zuo

Chapter 618 Changes in People's Hearts
Different from other places, the officials in the capital are all sharp-eyed and understand the situation better.

When they received requests for help from relatives and old friends in their hometown, they were taken aback and wrote letters to send back.

Nothing else, just to warn relatives and friends not to act rashly and not to offend people in Shandong.

Soon, the situation of the imperial court was known to the world.

Officials and gentry everywhere also understood why the imperial court softened to Shandong.

A farce against Shandong was completely eliminated, and peace returned to various places.

Except for some officials and gentry who had made too much trouble and were dealt with, when the rest looked at the Shandong people, they couldn't help being in awe.

And the court's actions also broke the hearts of many people with integrity.

All of a sudden, there were waves of resignations from all over the country, and many people were completely disappointed in Daming.

"After this incident, I have become disheartened, and I only hope that I can move to Shandong, so that I will not encounter such disasters again."

On the Jiangxi side, the rescued businessmen came to Jin Qiyu one after another and expressed their thoughts.

Although this time the danger was turned to safety, it also scared these people.

They even came up with the idea of ​​fleeing the local area.

Jin Qiyu hurriedly stopped him and said: "Everyone, you are operating here, not only to make money for yourself, but also to be my tentacles outside Shandong. Without your local support, many activities in Shandong cannot be carried out. Please rest assured, after this incident The imperial court and various places dare not wait any longer for you, you are backed by my strong strength in Shandong to guarantee your safety."

The core meaning is to stabilize these people and let them continue to operate locally.

The essence of business is to open up and occupy more and more territories.

If these businessmen who operate in various places retreat, how can Shandong's products be sold to the outside world?
Failure to sell externally means losing the market, and losing the market means not being able to make money.

Without making money, how should Shandong develop?

This is a circular problem.

Zuo Menggeng had already noticed it, so when he sent people to various places to rescue the businessman, he specially instructed this.

In any case, it is necessary to stabilize the emotions of the businessmen, let them stick to the local area, give them confidence and protection, and stimulate their pioneering spirit.

Hearing what Shandong meant, the businessmen couldn't help but look at each other.

After discussing in low voices, they pushed out Li Chengyang.

"Lord Jin, although today's crisis has been resolved, if I, Shandong, really turn against the imperial court in the future, I am afraid that the imperial court will not let me go. Shandong is thousands of miles away, and the water far away cannot quench my thirst."

Jin Qiyu smiled.

"Everyone, is your business booming?"

Speaking of this, the merchants were all relieved.

"Thanks to the favor of customers, the business is not bad."

"Thanks to Shandong's products, let me wait for a big profit."

Jin Qiyu spread his hands.

"Look, my Shandong products are so popular. What does this mean? It means that under the surface, there are many people who agree with my Shandong. Therefore, you should not only do business, but also make more friends. Have more friends? , the road will be easy. When your friends are all over the world, will it be so easy for the court to move you?"

No one who can do business and do a good job is a fool.

After careful consideration, everyone finally had some understanding of Jin Xingyu's meaning.

There is a saying that Jin Qiyu is right, Shandong products are indeed very popular.

In this way, those who run the business must be able to get along.

In other words, the recognition of the imperial court and Shandong among the people is actually half and half.And as long as they continue to manage with their heart, this comparison will inevitably not be skewed in the future.

And when they won enough support, even if the court knew that there was nothing they could do.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is the presence of Shandong's powerful force.

If the court dares to move, it will be a disaster.

Businessmen are a strange bunch.

Crazy and cowardly.

When faced with danger, businessmen retreat very quickly.I prefer to avoid heavy losses at the smallest cost.

But once they know that they are safe and have a strong backing, they will burst out with extremely powerful aggression capabilities.

After Jin Qiyu's lobbying, these businessmen finally stopped thinking about moving to Shandong, and regarded Jiangxi as a piece of cake.

The next thing they have to do is to cut the cake thoroughly, eat it thoroughly, and occupy it firmly.

Anyway, with Shandong's support behind them, they have no fear, and they don't know how many crazy things they can do.

Another confrontation, another complete victory for Shandong.

The result is that Shandong's thoughts are no longer hindered, and they have thoroughly penetrated into the people of Ming Dynasty.

Taicang.

In an exquisite small courtyard.

Several businessmen got together and read Zuo Menggeng's article repeatedly.

One of them was reading and crying like rain.

"The old man has been in business all his life, and he has suffered many setbacks, ups and downs. The humiliation he suffered is too numerous to record. Scholars, farmers, businessmen...scholars, farmers, businessmen, but we businessmen have been trampled in the mud and soil, and trampled repeatedly. How contemptible! We What did you do wrong?"

So did the other.

"The commander-in-chief Zuo said well. All things are created equal and everyone is equal. They both carry one head on their shoulders. Why are we businessmen low and low?"

The younger one is even more outrageous.

"My generation of merchants traveled north and south, communicated with each other, exchanged places, overcame thorns and thorns, braved wind and rain, how much hardship I suffered, how much tax I paid, and how many people I supported? For the country and the people, what is wrong with me? Just as Commander Zuo said It is said that those scholars and landlords are oppressing us. If we don’t overthrow them, we will never have a bright future.”

The last person looked at the old man.

"Mr. Yunzhu, you have supported that Zhang Ximing a lot in the past few years. What's the point of doing it now?"

The old man smiled wryly.

"Originally, I waited for merchants, and my status was low. If I want to survive, what else can I do besides clinging to the powerful? The old man has subsidized that Ximing's huge amount of money back and forth, and I hope to rely on his relationship to have a place in this world. Hmph! But That Ximing eye is higher than the top, and has never seen the old man in his eyes. When the old man came to visit, he never even had a cup of hot tea. In the eyes of these scholar-bureaucrats, what is the difference between our generation of merchants and those low-ranking people?"

Only then did this person ask: "Recently, Zhang Ximing and other Fushe scholars have joined forces everywhere, saying that they want to fight Shandong to the death. They even found juniors and asked for donations. Seniors, how should this matter be?"

The young man laughed angrily.

"What else can we do, donate money to let them win Shandong, and then continue to ride on us? Let's make his great dream."

The old man had no vigor.

"Hey! I was born here and depended on others. I was afraid that that Ximing would sway my tongue and make me die without a burial. I don't have Shandong to protect me behind my back. I really can't twist my arms and thighs."

As soon as this remark came out, the room was gloomy.

Everyone sighed and lamented, and really couldn't think of any way to do it.

In the midst of depression, the sound of footsteps rushed in, with a look of ecstasy.

"Everyone, Jin Yiwei entered the city and captured Zhang Ximing."
