Can you live forever

Chapter 264: Mountain Chang’s Dream, Selling Longevity

"Lecture hall?"

"That's right, it's not just the times and ideas that have changed, the army is also changing. The Southern Expeditionary Army is engaged in the equalization of land in Annan, and the princes of Nanjing may ignore the most influential subject, that is, the Southern Expeditionary Army itself."

"Does it have any effect?"

"Soldiers in the army are also common people. Being a soldier can't be a lifetime. Who doesn't want to be disarmed and return to the fields? But when you return to your hometown, do you have fields to farm? Ming Dynasty didn't have it, but Annan did."

"They will go to Annan?"

"No, they will come to Daming. They want to equalize the land in Daming. They want to maintain the achievements of equalizing the land. They are on the side of the common people. Their fighting beliefs have completely changed."

"This……"

"Anything, in the final analysis, has to fall on people. The princes of Nanjing still have the idea of ​​​​annihilating the Southern Expedition Army. They never thought that after the Southern Expedition Army came back, Jiajing would have such a brand new army. How to deal with more troops like this. That will be ten times, or even more Yue Family Army."

"Ten times the Yue Family Army!!"

Yan Na was shocked, he couldn't understand the change in combat power brought about by the transformation of the Southern Expedition Army, but this metaphor made him understand instantly, what is the Yue Family Army?
Don't demolish the house if you freeze to death, don't plunder to death if you starve to death!
Since ancient times, there has never been an army that is as breathless as the Yue Family Army!If the court of the Southern Song Dynasty did not hold back, a Yue family army could defeat the Kingdom of Jin and regain the country!
If there are ten Yue family armies, who in the world can stop them?
Yan Na found himself trembling unconsciously, he was afraid...

"Here, how can we stop ten Yue Family armies?"

Yan Na had no confidence in the martial arts hall at all, but Xu Jie poured tea calmly, and said leisurely: "It depends on people as well as things. The changes in industrial technology are also cross-generational."

"New combat methods and combat concepts, we just need to be one step ahead."

"What is the biggest difference between the imperial court and Nanjing?"

"It's money."

"War is fought by the poor and by the rich."

"Nanjing can't raise elite soldiers. In the final analysis, everyone is looking for money in their own pockets, but they don't want to pay for it. But today is different. Jiajing not only wants money, but also lives."

"They can't afford to lose this battle."

"Since the princes in Nanjing can't afford to lose, and the gentry in Jiangnan can't afford to lose, then obediently pay and arm the army to the teeth."

"Developing the military industry to the limit."

"The rest, just run over."

Xu Jie has never viewed war independently. War is just a continuation of politics, and war is not only a matter of the army and generals, but also an economic and political issue.

In Xu Jie's view, if the operation is good, you can win if you go directly to A.

Yan Na suddenly became enlightened, but he hesitated and said: "The matter of the martial arts hall is no small matter. After all, it is to meddle in military power. Can the princes of Nanjing agree to us?"

Xu Jie smiled and said, "Why should they agree?"

"Together with the Japanese Rebellion, opening a lecture hall is just a matter of course, and it doesn't have to be linked to the scientific examination of martial arts. It is only a matter of course to form a militia group to practice after the war subsides."

"As for the source of talent."

"With the reputation of Donglin Academy, you will also have contacts. Arranging military positions is not casual, and those students will always understand."

Yan Na nodded, and said with a smile: "From then on, whether it is officials in the court or generals in the army, they will call Zisheng 'Shan Zhang'. This is the real peach and plum everywhere."

"Hahaha..." Xu Jie also laughed.

……

The gentry were at work, and the merchants were not idle.

Why are the five major business gangs led by Huizhou merchants?Because business is second, power is the most important.

Xu Wang, King Wu, the Xu family monopolizes the sea power. No matter how dilapidated the Wang family is, he is the spokesperson of Nanjing and the money bag of Nanjing. The Wu family manages Nanyang and focuses on colonization. Cohesion is unmatched by any other home.

It can be said that none of the four Huizhou merchants is a good stubble.

The other four major business gangs have to be top-notch businessmen to compare with them, and they are still weak. They may make more money, but they are incomparable in terms of power.

The dispute between King Xu was actually a civil war among Huizhou merchants.

The Xu family and the Wang family are in the same group, and the Wang family and the Wu family are in the same group. They fight with gods and gods. Shanxi merchants don't do sea trade, so they can still stay out of it, but the rest of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong merchants can't.

Ever since Xu Ming brought his fleet back to Zhoushan from Xiluozhou, the Xu family held the World Chamber of Commerce.

Clearly force everyone to stand in line.

In Dongfan Tower, the private room is closed today, big merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River gathered, and served delicious food and drinks, Xu Hai didn't show up, there was a meeting outside, and they were holding a small meeting inside.

The zodiac token is the identity card, and only the person is eligible to talk at the same table.

Daming has nine zodiac tokens. Excluding the Wang family, the Wu family, and the Fan family of Shanxi merchants, there are six yuan left, one for the Xu family, one for the Wang family, and four for the other three major chambers of commerce.

They are the Lu family of the Zhejiang merchants, who have a relationship with Shen Wansan. They donated all the family property to Shen Wansan, and Shen Wansan returned it to the Lu family before his defeat.

There are also Su Shang's Dongshan Weng Family and Xishan Wang Family.

Su merchants were dominated by Dongting merchant gangs, and Dongting Mountain in Wu County was divided into Dongshan and Xishan. There is a folk saying "Drilling the sky and Dongting is full of emblems", which was used to describe the merchants at that time.

The Cantonese merchants belonged to the Chaoshan Chen family.

The Chaoshan Chen family came from the south of the Yingchuan Chen family. It can be traced back to Chen Qun who formulated the Jiupin Zhongzheng System. With the disintegration of Nanchen, the Yingchuan Chen family began to decline. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the main branch has actually disappeared, but some branches have gone to Chaoshan.

The Chen Xianzhang we mentioned earlier, the one who developed Baisha Xinxue, is the Chen branch.

After his death, the Chen Clan Academy, also known as the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, was used by the descendants of the Chen family in 72 counties of Guangdong to worship here. Why is Chen Xianzhang so respected by the Chen family?

This is related to the origin of their Yingchuan Chen family.

Although they are businessmen, they put more emphasis on literature, and Chen Xianzhang has become the signature of the Chen family. Due to the problem of focus, the business model of the Chen family is different from the other companies. It is based on the clan.

It belongs to equal rights shares, no one is the champion, and the person who leads the chamber of commerce is called the head of the chamber of commerce.

The Zodiac Order is the token of the General Assembly.

Now the heads of the five families have arrived, namely Wang Xingzang, Lu Yun, Wang Weizhen, Weng Wenfu, and Chen Xiu.

Wang Xingzang was naturally the closest to the Xu family, so he said enthusiastically, "The fourth master called us to come over. If you have any regulations, just talk about it first. We will naturally have the same heart with the fourth master."

The other four didn't speak either. They came here only because they couldn't stand against the Xu family's edge.

Holding the wine glass, Xu Hai said flatly, "I've asked everyone to come to sell you one of the most precious commodities in the world - lifespan."
