Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

The reason is very simple. Now Zhang Shouren is operating in a monopoly, and several large commercial firms have already participated in it, and they can be regarded as half partners.

With the help of these firms, he was able to clean up the market. It was clear at a glance how much goods he produced, how much he sold, and how much profit he had.

A few more distributors may increase production and sales in the short term, but over time, the disadvantages will definitely outweigh the benefits.

People from later generations, even if they are not businessmen, have come into contact with and understood some of the most basic things.

Now in the area of ​​Qingzhou, including the commercial firms here in Qingzhou Prefecture, as long as they mainly deal in Huai salt, most of them are struggling to survive. [

If they continue to operate Huaiying, they will either close down or change jobs, or they can only get goods from Lifeng Hong and become distributors below the commercial bank. This is different from them getting goods directly from Fushan.

Looking at commercial shops, understanding the market of salt, and looking at ironware, there is indeed a shortage of iron everywhere. There are many blacksmith shops, but there is no ore and pig iron, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. The price is extremely high, and even small items such as thimbles and sewing needles that housewives must use, the price has increased several times compared to before.

As for the most important deployment of troops, Zhang Shouren shook his head frequently, Lin Wenyuan was fine, and the guards who came out all looked contemptuous.

The number of Qingzhou city guard camps is not known on the books, but in fact it is estimated that there are only three to four hundred people, and half of them are old and weak, who seem to be struggling to carry wooden guns.

The young and strong also look like soldiers, patrolling around the city to blackmail, and there are also blackmailing merchants at the gate of the city. The weapons in many people's hands are badly embroidered, and they are simply decorations to scare people.

This appearance is not even as good as that of Jiaozhou. Qingzhou Prefecture is still a prefectural city. The city wall of more than ten miles looks tall and thick.

"If you encounter enemy soldiers attacking like this, how can you do it!"

The hinterland of Shandong, including the area around Linqing and Jinan, has indeed never experienced any military disasters. The last incident in Shandong was the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect. It was nothing more than a group of rioting farmers, and it was not a threat at all.

Seeing the situation in Qingzhou, it is obvious that it has been too long and the heart is slack.Denglai, at any rate, used to support the Liaodong battlefield and aid Dongjiang Town in Phi Island, and later it was rioted by Kong Youde's mutiny, so Denglai's soldiers and horses still looked like soldiers. There are [-] or [-] soldiers who are able to wear strong and sharp weapons. Look at Qingzhou, which is a majestic mansion. The soldiers drawn out are not even as good as Jimo Battalion. The gap is too big.

It seems that there is nothing wrong now, but once something happens, it will be an unsolvable deadlock.

No wonder whether it is Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, unless you encounter a large number of officers and soldiers, otherwise, there are few incompetent people across the country.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty is really a big problem. The defense and control of the place is really very weak. Fengyang, the central capital, is such an important place in the Ming Dynasty. It was broken by the bandits and almost threatened Nanjing. , and now there are quite a few years of thieves everywhere, and Shandong is still like this, and it really makes people don't know what to say.

The only way to describe these local officials who are eating vegetarian meals is "totally unpopular".
